From 1990 to the present, cuts to our aid budget were triple that of domestic programs in percentage terms. Given that aid accounts for a mere two per cent of total spending, this was nickel-and-diming the poor was downright unconscionable. We now spend a miserly 0.26 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI) on aid.
As the weeks close in before the release of the next federal budget, we need to get out our loudspeakers and make sure this government hears us clearly: we want an economic model that works for women.
Since launching Oxfam's campaign on women and work last week, we've received all kinds of questions and comments about whether women are really being shortchanged by the global economy. Some suggest that gender inequality doesn't exist here in Canada, only in poor countries.
Women's homelessness is a significant, yet often hidden, crisis facing this country. Research shows that for every person who is absolutely homeless, there are at least three more who fall into the hidden homelessness category.
The Liberals promised a "leaner, more agile" military, raising concerns over the size of the military. With our current commitment and the promised renewal of UN peacekeeping missions, Canadian soldiers will not be able to sustain such a high operational tempo, let alone if we slash our military numbers.
The first budget delivered by the Liberals signaled a return to 1970s Trudeaupian Liberalism, not just with its flagrant disregard for balanced budgets and ballooning debt, but also by disregarding a core accountability under our Constitution: Canada's military.
By making it easier to navigate the tax rules and meet their obligations, Canadians will spend less time and less of their money on preparing their taxes, leaving more in their pockets. For Canadian businesses, productivity could improve as they spend less time, effort and capital dealing with tax compliance and red tape.
The proposed budget will increase government spending while having a deficit of $29.4 billion. It will direct billions of dollars to infrastructure spending, First Nations, and the middle class and lower income groups.
The Canadian Forces will once again have to wait to receive new much-needed equipment. Whether it is new fighter aircraft, ships or vehicles, the federal budget has postponed more than $3.7 billion in military spending until 2020 -- or later. As a matter of fact, the latest federal budget is another slap to the Canadian Forces' face. Bill Morneau, Canada's finance minister, said the Liberals are postponing defence spending to figure out defence priorities.
The changes are designed to distribute benefits and programs more fairly based on income. Families and students are the main beneficiaries of the new budget, though many of the proposed changes will not take effect until next year's tax return.
Canada's youth are the biggest winners from Tuesday's federal budget, but not in the way you'd expect. Buried deep inside the budget, well below the commendable financial commitments to First Nations, families and young children, is a potential game-changer for young people -- plans to create the first ever Prime Minister's Youth Council.
These two advanced manufacturing sectors directly employ more than 200,000 Canadians in good jobs that form the backbone of Canada's middle class. Even more are employed in the spinoffs from these two sectors -- both the suppliers to auto and aerospace, and the spending habits of its well-paid workers.
According to Tuesday's budget, the Liberals plan to run a $29.4-billion deficit for the fiscal year with no balanced budget planned until at least 2020-2021. The spending is in efforts to amp investment in infrastructure and boost the oil-weary economy.
Are we a genuine focus, or was #PMJT merely appealing to student and youth voters by addressing our federal election campaign demands? Following a campaign with such a strong focus on young people, we should expect nothing less than Trudeau's promises to youth to be included in his first budget as prime minister.
As debate about federal support for the biggest player in Canada's aerospace industry, Bombardier, has heated up over the last few months, critics have come forward to say that investing in Bombardier would be a mistake, and that the company should be left to sink or swim on its own. They couldn't be more wrong.
Ever since Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced Monday that the federal deficit would top $18.4 billion, all the familiar voices of right wing commentators, Bay Street analysts and Conservative politicians have made their all-too predictable calls for budget cuts and curtailed spending. They couldn't be more wrong. Now, in fact, is the time for some strategic spending to get the economy going, even if it means increasing the federal deficit when the budget is handed down on March 22.

Don't Be Blinded by the Light
Protect your eyes from ultraviolet rays
By A.Paul Chous, MA, OD, FAAO
With the approach of summer, more and more of us will be spending time in the 'great outdoors' enjoying the sunshine and longer days. Most of us, hopefully, will take some precautions to guard against sunlight damage, like wearing sunscreen, covering up exposed skin, and limiting the amount of time we spend in the sun. Most people are aware that invisible, ultraviolet (or UV) light is a major cause of skin damage and skin cancer. Unfortunately, fewer people appreciate the harmful effects of UV rays on our eyes, and far fewer take the basic measures to prevent those effects.
Light rays contain energy that travels in waves, and the amount of that energy depends on the wavelength of light (analogous to the distance between waves in water). The shorter the wavelength, the more energy light has, and the greater are its harmful effects on living tissues. UV light has a shorter wavelength and, hence, more energy than visible light. Similarly, blue light has a shorter wavelength and contains more energy than red light.
Not all UV rays are equal, however. UV-C has the shortest wavelength and is most damaging; fortunately, it is entirely blocked by the Earth's atmosphere. UV-B is less harmful, but is the main cause of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. Energy from UV-B is absorbed by tissues on the eyes' surface, the cornea (the clear windshield covering the colored part of the eye), the conjunctiva (the mucous membrane covering the white of the eye), and the delicate skin of the eyelids (a reason why eyelid cancers are very common). UV-A is the least damaging type of ultraviolet light, but may cause cumulative damage to skin and eye structures, including the retina. In addition, short wavelength blue light has also been implicated in cumulative oxidative damage to the retina.
Eye complications caused by or associated with UV light exposure include: photokeratitis (an extremely painful but temporary corneal 'sun burn' resulting from UV-B rays reflected off of sand, water or snow); pinguecula/pterygium formation (yellow calluses on the conjunctiva or cornea that may affect vision); eyelid skin cancers; tumors of the conjunctiva; cataract formation and accelerated cataract growth (progressive clouding of the eye's internal lens affecting vision); early onset of macular degeneration of the retina caused by oxidative (free radical) damage that can lead to severe visual impairment (see my last column on macular degeneration), malignant melanoma of the iris (colored part of the eye) and choroid (the blood vessel layer of the eye, sandwiched between the retina and the white of the eye.)
It is worth noting that diabetic retinopathy results, at least in part, from oxidative (free radical) damage to the retina caused by elevated blood sugar levels, and that UV radiation similarly causes oxidative damage. Although no scientific studies have been conducted to assess the role that UV damage plays in diabetic retinopathy, per se, it makes sense for patients with diabetes to protect our eyes from harmful UV (and blue) light exposure to prevent getting a 'double whammy' from free radical molecules caused by both hyperglycemia and short wavelength light rays.
The best defense against the eye complications caused by short wavelength light includes wearing UV blocking lenses (any sunglass that blocks 99% of UV-A and UV-B, or any prescription eyewear made of UV-blocking polycarbonate plastic or coated with a UV-400 filter). Wearing sun protection that wraps around the eyes will provide additional UV protection. Although wearing sunglasses lets our pupils dilate a bit, thereby letting in more total light, UV blocking lenses filter out the most harmful rays providing far superior protection. Never buy blue tinted sunglasses as these selectively allow blue light to pass through the eye to the retina. Remember that UV rays penetrate clouds, so it's important to wear UV blocking lenses whenever we're outside during daylight hours. In addition, wearing a wide brimmed hat that keeps light from directly striking the eyes and face is an effective secondary strategy. Finally, see your eye doctor regularly to check for any signs of UV related eye damage and the latest advances in UV protection.

Sauer:Plasmid-born λRed recombineering using dsDNA
From OpenWetWare
This protocol was taken (with minor modifications) from Thomason et. al. Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (2007) 1.16.1-1.16.24
Using short (35-40 bp) regions of homology, bacteriophage-encoded recombination machinery allows for the efficient insertion or deletions in gram-negative bacterial chromosomes without regard to restriction sites. The Court lab has extended the "Wanner" method by placing the plasmid-born bacteriophage recombination functions under the control of a temperature sensitive allele lambda repressor (cI857). At low temperatures (30-34 C) the downstream genes are tightly repressed however following a temperature shift to 42 C, these genes are expressed at high levels from the lambda pL promoter. Following induction of the recombination functions, transformed dsDNA is efficiently recombined into the chromosome and recombinants identified by either selection or PCR based screening. Some of the Court lab plasmids carry a temperature sensitive origin allowing for facile plasmid curing by simply shifting to the non-permissive temperature (37) and omitting the selection marker (chloramphenicol in the case of pSIM5).
Primer Design: 5' to 3': 40 nt of homology targeting the chromosomal region of interest 20 nt which bind the the cassette to be amplified (i've often use the b.b. prefix ans suffix for this region allowing me to knock in a variety of constructs to the same chromosomal locus)
PCR: Due to the size of the primers i typically anneal at 57-60 although when this is problematic I will included 2 rounds with lower annealing tempatures at the beginning of the reaction. ex: 92
|2 rounds
|28 rounds
Preparing Electrocompetant Cells: Grow a strain carrying one of the recombineering plasmids (pSIM5 for example) o/n at 30 C with antibiotic (chloramphenicol) Diluted this at least 50 fold into a 50 mL culture and grow to an O.D. of 0.4-0.6 again at 30 C. Induce the recombinase function by moving the flask to a 42 C shaker and shake for 15 min. Rapidly cool the flask in an water/ice slurry for at least 5 mins. Transfer the culture to a pre-cooled centrifuge tube and spin for 7 min at 4600xg. Pour off supernatant and resuspend in 30 mL of cold distilled water.

Neonatal unit design improves health
27 May 2013 Last updated at 09:05 BST
Lots of natural light, an innovative layout and a designed-in calmer atmosphere has had positive results in the neonatal ward at the Royal United Hospital in Bath.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights allow plenty of light, and as the health of each baby improves they gradually move to rooms nearer to the ward's exit.
A study has shown babies are sleeping longer, mothers spending more time breastfeeding and nurses spend more time with each of their patients than they did in the old ward.
Graham Satchell reports.

A Market Microstructure Analysis of Foreign Exchange Intervention in Canada

|74 pages Abstract: This paper clarifies the role and the impact of foreign exchange dealers in the relationship between foreign exchange intervention and nominal exchange rates using a unique dataset that disaggregates trades by dealer and by type of trade. The paper tests a number of market microstructure hypotheses. Results suggest that central bank orders and other customer orders are treated similarly by dealers who are engaged in short-run speculative and risk-sharing-motivated interdealer trading. While private payoff-relevant information is contained in trades, speculative interdealer trading is based only on transitory non-payoff-relevant information. A central bank considering intervention must consider both the signal it wishes to convey to the market and the subsequent trading strategies utilized by dealers.

In the demanding environment of my car on the M25, in the rare occasions I get up to speed, the headset fared well, and callers said my voice could be heard perfectly clearly. I also had no problems hearing the other party, but whether in the car or at home, the other person always sounding a little thing and distant. The headset behaved as I would expect, and pressing the button activated the voice dialling on my phone, which once set up worked well.
For sound quality the G5 does well then, and it's reasonable in the comfort stakes. Certainly its size is a big selling point, but really it's the charging carry case that's the really ingenious aspect. You can take that with you and know that you've got plenty of talk-time to play with and just charge it occasionally. Having it in the case means you'll be less likely to lose it, as otherwise it's almost too small. On one occasion I took it off when I got inside and put it into my pocket from where it accidentally got a 'pocket press' and made a call, so you need to be careful on that front.
Overall, I have to say I prefer my old venerable Motorola HS-850 - yes it's a porker compared to the Invisio G5, but I prefer the way I can just leave the headset off and just flip it open and pop it over my ear when a call comes in. However, if you don't want a large flashing thing on your ear and don't have a problem with in-ear headphones, then the Nextlink Invisio G5 is recommended.
The Nexlink Invisio G5 is a Bluetooth headset with some nicely designed touches. The small size is a plus, the in-ear spring plug is clever and the charging case that extends talk-time to 20 hours makes for a stylish package. If you don't mind having an in-ear solution, this is a neat Bluetooth headset.
I work as a field sales rep and as such I have covered about 30000 miles since I bought one of these about 11 months ago. The earpiece quality is in my opinion very good; even at motorway speeds, the person on the 'other end' is clear enough to easily understand. The microphone quality is excellent and reports from other people I have been talking to have been very positive. I would say however that if your car is on the noisy side or you tend to drive with a window slightly open, this can suffer as there is no noise cancellation system. The fitting style in the ear is as far as I can see completely unique. unlike many other devices, this does not rely on clamping the device to the pinna (outer part of the ear) or jamming the headset inside the canal, instead it uses what this soft-spring which bends along the inside of the pinna and holds the device in place very securely with very little movement even with rapid movement of the head. I would however highly recommend trimming (as the manual suggests) the spring to suit your ear as it is much more comfortable. I have found the battery life to be the best point of the headset. I frequently spend eight hours a day for 4 days in a row in my car and I make and receive many calls; Even with this heavy usage I still only need to charge the case and headset every 7-8 working days (remember to put it in the case when you are not using it!)
Overall I would highly recommend this headset with the only drawbacks being the high price tag and the matt finish on the charger easily wears away.

Methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH), a metabolic enzyme found in methylotrophic/autotrophic bacteria, contains a quinone cofactor, tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ), derived from the post-translational modification of two Trp residues in the protein. The maturation of MADH involves at least 4 other proteins, and we have begun to characterize one of these, MauG. It is a highly unusual di-heme enzyme responsible for the completion of TTQ synthesis. The natural substrate for MauG (preMADH) is a 119-kDa protein precursor of MADH with a partially formed cofactor. MauG catalyzes a six-electron oxidation to complete TTQ biosynthesis, using three moles of either molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as the second substrate. The two hemes of MauG act as a single redox unit, and the catalytic reaction involves an unprecedented high-valent di-heme intermediate that is unusually stable. The high-valent species is an FeV equivalent consisting of one FeIV=O heme, with the other in an FeIV oxidation state. During the previous funding period we have solved the crystal structure of MauG in complex with preMADH. This has been achieved to a resolution of 2.1 ?, and these crystals can support catalytic turnover to form TTQ without loss of diffraction. The MauG-preMADH structure, along with other recent data from collaborating labs, has been full of surprises. The structure indicates there are no major structural rearrangements during catalysis and that long-range inter-protein electron and radical transfer occurs in this system. During catalysis a very stable MADH protein radical is also produced. Now we wish to move the crystallographic studies, complemented by mass spectrometry and single crystal spectroscopies, beyond what was envisioned during the previous funding period, and make specific discoveries about oxygen activation by a previously unknown high-valent iron intermediate, mechanisms of oxidative modification to specific amino acid residues within a protein, and stabilization of highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) and radicals. Fundamentally these studies will give molecular insight into inter-protein electron transfer central to metabolis, and the control and outcomes of oxidative damage by radicals and ROS that are associated with many disease states. Thus protective control of electrons, radicals and ROS within the protein matrix is a key component of human health.
MauG is sequentially related to peroxidases that detoxify H2O2 under conditions of oxidative stress, but unusually can also activate molecular oxygen, forming a highly reactive iron oxidant that is unusually stable. In other systems such species are transient, and lead to non-specific oxidative tissue damage associated with many disease states if allowed to linger. How can MauG control such a potentially damaging species?

An apple a day
Forget about Snow White - red apples are the fairest of them all, according to a new study in the Journal Of Agricultural And Food Chemistry. Canadian researchers found that disease-fighting antioxidants called polyphenols were twice as prevalent in red apple varieties as they are in green ones. But whatever colour your apple, don't peel it - the skin contains fives times as many antioxidants as the flesh. Research from Glasgow University has also found that red grapes offer higher levels of antioxidants than white ones.
Exercise ... at a stretch
Research has put a question mark over the validity of yoga as a workout by suggesting that participants may be getting more exercise walking to the class than they get once they're in it. The study, from Texas State University, compared half an hour of hatha yoga with the same length of time walking at a not terribly brisk 3.5mph and with sitting quietly in a chair. The yoga resulted in a 21% lower heart rate, 53% lower calorie expenditure a minute and 54% lower oxygen uptake than the walking. The researchers concluded that while yoga can help enhance muscular fitness and flexibility, it has little - if any - aerobic benefit. If it's any consolation to all you yogis out there, however, it was more demanding than resting in a chair.
Patch of the day
Pain, low libido, contraception, stress, nicotine withdrawal - there's a patch for everything these days. If you can find space on your arm, there's now the GI diet patch, too. Based on the principle that smell determines 95% of our taste sensations, this patch aims to reduce cravings for sugary foods by emitting a sweet scent (vanilla, toffee and almond come to mind) to saturate the olfactory senses and convince you that you really don't want that french fancy. 'The research on these patches suggests they can help reduce cravings for sugary foods,' says Azmina Govindji, registered dietitian and co-author of The GI Plan (Vermilion, £7.99). 'Since GI is about keeping your blood-sugar levels slow and steady throughout the day, eating fewer sugary foods between meals may help you keep to overall low GI eating.' All very well, but not much help for those of us whose high GI fix comes in the form of hot buttered crumpets. I wonder when they'll bring out a discipline patch?

Joint calls and new bilateral funding programs from DFG and NSFC, reports on SGC sponsored workshops and summer schools, and the latest news about Sino-German cooperation in science and research.
The Sino-German Center for Research Promotion in Beijing
The Sino-German Center for Research Promotion (SGC) is a research funding institution based in Beijing, established as a joint venture by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
The SGC is tasked with promoting scientific cooperation between Germany and China with a focus on the natural sciences, life sciences, engineering sciences and management sciences.
Its is used to support a range of funding programmes tailored to this purpose.
In addition, the Center serves as an information platform, works to improve the infrastructure framework for scientific cooperation between Germany and China, facilitates the exchange of information about the research system in each country, and provides bilateral early career support. In this way it makes an important contribution to long-term cooperation between universities, research institutions and researchers in both countries.
The guidelines for the SGC's activities are laid down by a joint committee of four Chinese and four German members appointed by the NSFC and the DFG respectively.
The work of the Center is managed by the internal board and the SGC handles research proposals in cooperation with the DFG and the NSFC. The German side of the SGC also represents the DFG as a local point of contact in China for individual researchers and various partner organisations.

When I was a child, I was so sensitive to my pink silicone ear molds that the audiologist concluded I was allergic. He had to develop a special material just for me so that I could wear ear molds. Now I know that my problem was probably a condition known as "contact dermatitis."

Earmold Allergy Problems

Earmold allergies was a topic on the forum. The discussion was begun by Donnie, who wrote: "I had an impression taken for a new earmold, today. Something went terribly wrong, and the impression material got past the sponge over the eardrum. The material wouldn't come out. We had to wiggle and pull to get it out, and it was extremely painful. I put my hearing aid back in, and could hear OK, but my ear still hurt. When I got home, awhile later, I had my husband look in my ear. He found quite a bit of blood, and I tried gently removing it, and some very dark red chunks of something came out. Possibly blood clots, but I'm not sure. I don't know if my eardrum was damaged, but I'm afraid it may have been.

Has anyone had this happen to them, and if so, what can I expect from this nightmare situation?"

One of the most helpful responses came from AboutMemberHouston, who wrote:"I am sorry to hear about the ear mold reaction. I know it is painful. My case was different.....I find this interesting...I have had several bouts with reactions to the molds myself. I would have never thought of the color of the impression would have made a difference, and from what I can see on these posts, the PINK molds seem to have a high reaction cases as to the BLUE or GREEN ones.

Although I do not remember what color my impression was, but I do remember my ears swelled shut with the molds in my ears on the 1st day I got them. I kept telling my audiologist that something was wrong but he shrugged it off saying I wasn't used to them. In the meantime, I suffered for two years(not knowing I was allergic to silicone) with excessive draining, foul smell, bleeding canals, and the most painful part was it became so raw that several layers of skin was gone from both ears.

This continued even after I saw several different audiologists, and none could explain why the conditions and kept sending me to the ENT doctors and the doc's kept diagnosising it as "ear infections" until I finally saw a dermatologist (skin doctor). My doctor instantly saw the problem that it was an allergy to silicone=based molds.

I finally found an audiology that could help me, The Texas ENT center. They are great to work with and I have not had a problem with any of the molds. I had to go wtih HARD, CLEAR, and NON-SILICONE molds. I sure do miss the soft molds, but it was either that or suffer.:"

Why Earmold Allergies May Occur

Earmold allergies happen because the body sees an earmold as a "foreign" substance and reacts accordingly. The wearer could also be very sensitive to the chemicals present in the earmold.

Earmold Allergy Symptoms

The website FreeHearingTest.com has a photograph of an ear with contact dermatitis. Itching and inflammation or even pain when an earmold is worn, are typical symptoms.

Solutions for Earmold Allergies

One solution is to use hypoallergenic earmold material such as polyethylene or medical grade silicone. Quite a few companies make such materials. Two of them are

Custom Earmold Labs, based in Ontario

Earmold Design, Inc., based in Minneapolis

Another option, if it is feasible, is an implantable hearing aid. If only a small part of the ear is affected, the earmold can be modified.

Research Into Earmold Allergies

PubMed from the National Institutes of Health has many articles on earmold allergies. Here is just one citation:

 Allergic contact dermatitis from the earmolds of hearing aids.
Ear Hear. 1992 Apr;13(2):122-4.

Clicking on the above link will bring up the article, and on that page, there is a clickable link, "Related articles, links" in the upper right corner. Clicking on "related articles" brings up hundreds of similar articles.

Comments by Readers

Actually, Donnie's example represents trauma to the ear canal, and possibly the ear drum due to the ear mold making process. It appears from Donnie's comments that the source of the problem was the earmold impression material not stopping at the otoblock in the ear. Had the otoblock successfully contained the earmold impression material, there may not have been any 'reaction'. This type of ear trauma is very different from the types of allergic reactions that occur when individuals are sensitive to earmold impression material, or the finished earmold. If you experience pain or discomfort during the earmold impression process, following the earmold impression, or after the earmold is fit, contact your audiologist immediately. Often complications from earmold impression making and ear mold sensitivities must be managed by and Ear Nose and Throat physician.

So please, tell me
What's it gonna take for me to make

So be thinkin' fast
'Cause I'm seein' a black cloud above the city

Getting to Puerto Rico
... First of all, the students were raring to go because they had been sitting on a plane all day, and secondly, everyone was starving since we hadn't eaten since leaving Denver!
That started the adventure of trying to find a place to eat that wasn't overly expensive and was still open. This is low season for Puerto Rico and the time that many Puerto Ricans tend to travel around Puerto Rico. Close by the Sheraton, there is a Domino's, McDonald's, Burger King, and Subway, ...
Día uno
Our travels started bright and early (4 AM) in Omaha, with a 6 AM flight to San Juan, PR, with a layover in Chicago. Our flights went well, and we arrived in San Juan approximately 30 min after we anticipated.
Upon arrival in San Juan, we quickly (yeah right) rounded up our luggage and picked up our rental car. We had booked a guest studio apt. that we found through Home Away. The owner (Michael) had done a fabulous job ensuring that we knew where to go and that we ...
El Morro y La Ciudad
... for Ponce de Leon, Puerto Rico's first governor. It was lived in by his descendants for 250 years before going to the Spanish, then Americans, and now it's a museum and historical monument. Given that it was a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't open to visitors, so we continued on, turning east onto Beneficencia and passing the 500th anniversary plaza ("Plaza del Quinto Centenario") which is commemorated by a column celebrating the 500 ...
What to Expect When Expecting on Your Honeymoon
... We didn't get to eat here ourselves, but it comes highly recommended by the hordes of people waiting. The daily menu features fresh, organic, local produce and thus depends on the climate and season of Puerto Rico.

We also didn't eat here, but it comes highly recommended by those who can't get a table at Jose Enrique. Santaella does take reservations. The d�cor is worth the visit alone.
Introduction to Old San Juan Cuisine

At first we thought we were being dismissed because we looked pretty ragged, but then when we got up there we realized that it was a self-serve coffee bar for guests only and she was allowing us to help ourselves – so nice. We drank coffee, waited out the rain, and talked.

Our Thanksgiving Distribution started off the busy season by serving 437 in Hazard. I have to apologize, due to my phone messing up, the pictures were all erased.

Gatlinburg Relief
I want to thank everyone for your outpouring for these families that lost everything in these devastating fires that spread throughout the Smoky Mountains. Gatlinburg has always been our home away from home
Several of our friends lost everything, including their jobs, due to the fire. We were setup in the heart of Gatlinburg. The devastation is beyond what words can describe. We served over
with 95% of the families being Latino. We were donated Spanish bibles prior to leaving and many of them wept upon receiving them, because theirs had burnt up in the fire. There was a division in our language, but God's Love has no boundary.
This trip was an emotional roller coaster, because we had made so many memories camping, hiking and rafting there as a family and to see the devastation and hear the terrifying stories that the families went through.
Gatlinburg Story
Before we left for Gatlinburg, our neighbor and dear friend brought us a bicycle to take with us. This one man came up and his eyes were dead set on the bicycle. He only spoke Spanish, but he grabbed the bicycle and looked at us with tears in his eyes. He touched his chest and then explained to our translator that he had one son and he lost his bicycle in the fire.
We would like to thank you for making 2016 one of our best years in serving our children and families. It is only through your donations that we can reach the families in need.
Your contributions have helped make Putting Prayers to Action more sufficient in providing to our children and their families. We are so grateful to you for supporting our committed to the underprivileged children and their families in the Appalachian Region and Central Kentucky.
Thanks to you, God has allowed us to touch and change the lives of thousands – whether they faced an urgent need, devastating hunger or sought to improve their spiritual life by asking Jesus into their heart.
Putting Prayers to Action is your Hands and Feet in this hurting world. We exist to serve God and to Change the world one life at a time with Mercy, Love and Grace through Christ Jesus, our Lord.
In this uncertain economic time, the ministry counts on your support – now more than ever. Your gift is extremely important to us because it provides resources that make an immediate impact – that will help us through these heart wrenching – and tough – times.
Please consider making as generous a gift as you can
As the ministry grows, so does our needs, so we don't have to turn a child away. We are committed to serving our children and families – for God, for you, for your loved ones, for every person that donates to make it possible. Please help to make this possible with your contribution.
We want to Thank each of our donors and volunteers for all the support you have given in our efforts to continue the work of

Back To School Distribution 2016
It is exciting to report about our Back to School distributions in the Appalachia Region. Through the generosity of all our donors 678 families were served. 1,517 outfits were received and hand delivered to the children. The following is a breakdown on the distribution details. 638 boy's complete outfits 836 girl's complete outfits 43 infant and toddler outfits 1,890 care kits 764 pair of shoes 1,517 Back to School packs 680 Backpacks 42 tons of food 4 tons of food Blessing in a Backpack 17 tons of paper products & diapers
We also had the pleasure of having a day of worship and praise with Angela Seng and her family. Her family brought many baby dolls, Barbie's and yes, items for the boys also. They fix up used dolls to look brand new, in fact better than new. They are actively involved in Operation Christmas Child which sends their dolls all over the world. We are very blessed and touched they chose to join us for one day on our trip to share their love, talent and dolls.
Jenny Ramsey blessed us with 432 handmade cupcakes, made with her special cream icing and of course sprinkles of every kind, to take with us to give our kids. They loved them!
During the same stop, Ed & Carole had brought a new little tricycle. It found a new home with a little girl who had never had or rode one. Ed & Carole from Maryland met us also in Harlan and traveled with us for the entire trip. Ed setup my new laptop to do registration and also had some great suggestions on saving time during registration. Carole filled in where ever we needed her by assembling extra food bags, personal hygiene bags, praying and helping Ed with the registration.
Many memories are made during a trip, but some will stay with you forever. These are just a few of the amazing miracles and memories. During one of our home visits, the young girls lined up to take a picture in their new dresses. Then they proceeded to tell us that they didn't have any panties until they opened their package. They were so excited they lifted their dresses and said, "see now we have panties, you want to take a picture."
Dan & Vicki Pinson from Texas did face painting which the children loved. The children were thrilled. Many it was their first time getting their face painted. Unfortunately, due to six team members having to leave, they filled in where needed and didn't get to face paint at each event.
My mom and dad, Mavis and Earl Hart from Cecilia traveled with us, but due to the heat had to leave early. Prior to the trip, they helped package over 700 clothing packs for our children and also assembled over 400 Back to School packs. They are both in their eighties and they did a great job sharing their love with our families. Mom was excited to hand deliver some of the clothing packs, she personal put together. She explained to the little girls how the donors from all over sends in the dresses and she gets to help pack them.
My sister & brother-in-law, Sharon and John Kennedy also traveled with us pulling one of our enclosed trailers. Prior to the trip, they took over most of the responsibilities of moving, packing, organizing and distributing to the ministries and families while I was recovering from surgery. Betty Ann and Betty Nelson also traveled with them. Betty Ann assisted in bagging beans and assembling the Hope Center girls packs. Due to illness and heat, they all had to depart early, as did one of our trailers. Praise God all is doing fine now. Thanks for your Prayers!
During this trip, we ran out of supplies and had to restock the trailers. Due to lack of funds, we knew we couldn't purchase all that was needed, but God not only knew what we need, HE PROVIDED! I started calling and posted on Facebook for people to pray. When we arrived at our second to the last stop. We received two van loads of food to make food bags for the families, including produce and personal hygiene from local businesses for our personal hygiene bags. Our last stop in McClure, they had collected personal hygiene and school supplies. So God went before us at each stop making a way for each child & family to receive.
Our visit with Phylliss is always great, but always to short! We were aiming to stop with the team, but due to traffic and to postpone the stop until the last day. We sat and celebrated her birthday and shared some of Jenny's cupcakes with her. She sent her love back to everyone. Our trip always feels complete when we get our hugs from her.
There are many people behind the scene that make our trip possible. Thank you to each of our donors who send in monetary donations or items for our trip. Thank you to our volunteers that assisted us in assembling each clothing pack, food bag, personal hygiene bags, Back to School Blessing bags and all the Hope Center bags. We appreciate each of you and the ministry wouldn't be possible without your help. Thank you for making a Difference!
We would like to thank everyone that assisted us in anyway on the trips. We couldn't do it without each of you assisting us. Thank you to all the women and men that assisted us in serving the families at Vansant Baptist Church. We really appreciate your church opening the door to us and all our families, we serve. Thank you to the McClure Kiwanis Club and all who volunteer to make our last event, our largest event. Thank you Dickenson County for your hospitality in providing rooms, dinner & breakfast for all the team.
Thank you for Making a BIG Difference in the Life of a Child!
And my God will meet all your needs according to
His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19

God's Plan
Putting Prayers to Actions accepts TLC's offer
We at Putting Prayers to Action are honored to accept the offer to continue the work of Tender Loving Care Ministries. After much prayer and consideration, we believe this decision is one that the Lord has ordained for us, and we are humbled and excited to be chosen for the opportunity to continue their service in God's Kingdom.
We feel that it is a demonstration of His great plan for all of us. We admire the work TLC has been doing for all the children. Now, we will be able to expand on our ability to assist more children and their families in the poverty stricken communities.
To our new followers and supporters, w
e value the assistance you have already provided to us through TLC. We look forward to the opportunity to begin to foster a long and mutually advantageous relationship built in Christ with you. We are committed not only in assisting children and their families, but God requires us to be good stewards in all He provides to us. Your prayers and support in this transition will be invaluable in helping us on this journey for Him.

2015 Appalachian Christmas Mission Trip
Our Events & stops
We traveled to Virginia first, instead of last this trip. Starting out, we knew we were short on certain sizes of clothes, toys and personal hygiene items. We were so blessed to have volunteers at each event. Some even cooked for us, which is always a wonderful blessing.
Many of our stops were at night and the weather didn't work well for us. It was chilly and damp. The families patiently waited in line to be served. One of our stops will always hold a special memory for me. After the second event, in Virginia, our toys were gone. The whole trip to McVeigh, I was stressing about how to tell them that we had no toys for their event. This event was so special to me, because this was a complete circle that God had made for us. Our very first Mission trip started with McVeigh. My heart was broken, but deep down I knew God had it under control. I just didn't know when He was going to show up.
Upon arriving, I was met by several of their volunteers. Tammy said let me show you what we collected for the event. She proceeded to take me where we stood gazing at two rooms completely full of toys. I broke down and started crying. She didn't know what to say, then I told her about how God had moved through them before we even got there. God is so GOOD!
After the event, they bagged up all that was left over and sent it with us to bless the other children.
Our trip would never be complete without a visit to see our Phyliss. She was so excited that we were there and tickled with all the gifts that some of you sent with us. She longed to fix supper for us, so that we could stay awhile longer. Even though our visits are usually short, they are priceless to me. Bryan is getting pretty good at the selfies of us
We then headed over the mountain into Harlan County. Our first stop was our Hope Center girls. I Praise God for allowing us to have gifts for all 125 girls, plus their children received Christmas. We can't explain how proud and how much we love these girls. They fill our hearts with so many memories. Many times we go back and miss seeing faces, but we know that this is just a stop for each one. So we are proud God allows us to have a short span in their life.
We were then off to our apartments that we visit. We are were at this one set of apartments, when a young boy came up to us. He had seen another child receive a coat. He said, "You think there's a coat that will fit me in that trailer." Bryan smiled and said son let me see. Well, we found him a brand new coat, thanks to TLC Ministries. He tried it on, walked around, and then took it off. We were puzzled by his actions. He looked at us, and said thanks for letting me wear the coat for a while. We laughed and said, it's yours you don't have to give it back. This was his very first new coat. He was so excited. He left running and happy to show his new coat off.
Our last event was held at a local school. We arrived two hours early only to find a line already formed. We decided to work alongside another ministry to bless more families. Anyone that knows me, knows that having a plan, being organized or having a system in serving families means so much to me. We usually call five families at a time to serve them, but the other ministry opened the door and all 700 people came in to be served at one time. Yes, we did get to have a worship service before hand, but when the doors opened it was crazy. They said they enjoy watching the frenzy of it. I just Praise God we had extra volunteers with the Hope Center girls, Frankie & Judy, but then we got a surprise with our friends
Russell & Kim, from Louisville showing up to help us.
TLC Blessings
We Praise God for everything that TLC has done for our families & us. We were able to reach so many more children in Eastern Kentucky, Virginia & locally. Approximately, 281 children received new coats or jackets, over 500 children & teens were blessed with new clothing, over 300 received either a homemade sweater or afghan, over 765 were blessed to receive either homemade hats, scarfs, mittens or gloves. Some received a matching set. They also blessed 392 of our toddlers & babies with either a homemade quilt or blanket. One of our teenagers received a full size homemade quilt. It was her very first bed clothing, she hadn't had anything to cover up at night under. They also sent 5 very special homemade Raggedy Ann Dolls.
God truly not only blessed our families & children, but He blessed us & provided encouragement through them.
We were able to Bless over 2,300 children this year at Christmas with your help!
Thank you TLC & all your volunteers for all you've done!
These girls sleep together in a twin mattress, now they have their own quilts.
Our Events & stops
We Praise God for the Salvations, Rededications, Deliverances and Healings
He allowed us to be part of on this trip.
Our first event was the evening we arrived. I never schedule like this, but I had been contacted by a church group in Columbia wanting to assist us and provide Christmas Shoeboxes to pass out to the children. The only days they could assist were Saturday & Sunday, so I schedule to allow them to see the areas & meet our families. The week we were leaving, I called them to find out how many would be assisting us & rooms that were needed. Unfortunately, they had decided not to go & deliver their shoeboxes by theirselves. My flesh wanted to worry about the shoebox that had been figured in to the committed totals & the help needed for the scheduled events & stops on the two days. My mind started trying to tell me that the small team of 12 couldn't do what we had scheduled for 25. No we couldn't, but God can & did! It is amazing the events started and we were into the second day. My sister ask me, now when was that team suppose to show up to help. I said yesterday, we laughed, because God provided all the help and we hadn't given it a second thought. Then God not only blessed us with the 1,600 shoeboxes, but He blessed us with almost 2,400 shoeboxes. God is so GOOD! We were blessed to have 15 of the Hope Center girls to help us at our events.
One of our stops will always hold a special memory for me. We had pulled over at a school parking lot to eat sandwiches on the go. Several kids came down when they recognized us. Jill from Farmers Feed Mill made us her famous chicken salad. The look in the kids eyes told us a heart wrenching story. I ask them are you hungry? They said, "Yes, we haven't ate anything." I fixed all of them one sandwich and then ask do you want another. "Yes, they all answered we're still hungry."
We had to fill their bellies before providing to any other need.
