Patient education
Despite rapid strides being made in the field of cataract eye surgery in the last few decades, it continues to remain the leading cause of reversible blindness in our country. We at The Eye Foundation have been pioneers in the field of cataract surgery offering cutting edge technology and a high standard of care to a large population.
How does Cataract form?
The natural crystalline lens of our eye is clear which allows light to be focused clearly on the retina. With ageing, this lens loses its transparency and gradually becomes clouded thereby imparing vision.
What are the causes?
Although most cataracts are related to aging, there are other types of cataract:
- Secondary cataract. Cataracts can form after surgery for other eye problems, such as glaucoma. Cataracts also can develop in people who have other health problems, such as diabetes. Cataracts are sometimes linked to steroid use.
- Traumatic cataract. Cataracts can develop after an eye injury, sometimes years later.
- Congenital cataract. Some babies are born with cataracts or develop them in childhood, often in both eyes. These cataracts may be so small that they do not affect vision. If they do, the lenses may need to be removed.
- Radiation cataract. Cataracts can develop after exposure to some types of radiation.
Who is at risk for cataract?
The risk of cataract increases with age. Other risk factors for cataract include:
- Certain diseases such as diabetes.
- Personal behavior such as smoking.
- The environment such as prolonged exposure to sunlight.
What are the symptoms associated with cataract?
Cataract is characterized by a painless, progressive decline in vision. Apart from decreasing vision patients with cataract even in the early stages may experience increased glare while driving at night or reading in dim illumination, difficulty in differentiating objects at a distance and the need for frequent change of glasses.
How is a cataract detected?
Cataract is detected through a comprehensive eye examination
Visual acuity test: The eye chart measures the vision for both distance and near vision. It quantifies the visual loss experienced by the patient.
Dilated eye examination: Drops are instilled in the eyes to widen or dilate the pupils. This allows detection and grading of the cataract. Moreover, the retina or the nerve of the eye is also examined for signs of damage or other eye problems. The effect of the dilating drops lasts for a couple of hours, during which time the patient may experience blurring of vision.
When does your cataract require treatment?
Cataract eye surgery can be performed at any stage once it starts interfering with the daily activities of the patient. With the advent of advanced techniques and technology, cataract surgery can be performed in a safe and effective manner even in the early stages and one need not wait for the cataract to mature. In fact more advanced and harder cataracts are associated with an increased incidence of complications.
What are the treatment options for cataract?
Surgery is the only and definitive treatment modality for cataract.
The various options available are as follows:
- Conventional Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE)
- Requires an incision of 10 – 12mm
- The cataractous lens is removed in a single piece
- A hard plastic intraocular lens is implanted
- Multiple stitches are required to close the wound
- Final glass prescription could take 6-10 weeks
- Small incision cataract surgery
- Requires a smaller incision of 5mm
- Cataract is removed manually and lens is placed
- No stitches
- Faster wound healing
- Micro incision cataract surgery , Over the years the size of the corneal incision made during cataract surgery has considerably reduced leading to faster visual recovery and reduced postoperative discomfort
- Requires a very small incision of about 2 mm
- The nucleus is emulsified into small pieces and removed
- A foldable lens is used allowing implantation into the eye without extension of the incision
- Walk-in walk-out procedure
- Painless, bloodless and stitch less surgery
- Can be done under topical anaesthesia
This is the latest advancement in the field of cataract surgery where a laser is used to help make incisions and break the cataract into small pieces. This has greatly enhanced the precision and safety of cataract surgery making it bereft of any complications. To know more (CLICK HERE)
Types of intraocular lenses (IOL)
Monofocal IOL
A majority of intraocular lenses implanted are monofocal lenses. These lenses have the capability of focusing light from a single distance. Normally distant objects are clear and one requires glasses for reading. The monofocal lenses are either rigid non foldable or foldable. The foldable lenses can be inserted through a small wound allowing faster visual recovery and reduced postoperative discomfort.
Toric IOLs
In certain situations, the patient may have a high cylinder or preoperative bend of the cornea. Monofocal lenses are unable to compensate for this, hence the patient requires glasses for distance vision postoperatively in addition to a reading power. Toric IOLs have the ability to correct the eye power both at the corneal and lenticular plane, thereby correcting the cylindrical power.
Multifocal IOLs
Multifocal lenses have different segments which focus light rays from various distances onto the retina. This affords a freedom of glasses for near, intermediate and distant vision to the patient.
Do I have cataract?
You may, if you are over 40 years of age and have blurred vision, light sensitivity or glare, poor night vision or fading of colors. These symptoms may differ based on the subtype of cataract.
What happens when I come for a checkup at the hospital?
During your visit to our our eye hospital in Bangalore or Coimbatore, first your vision will be checked by trained optometrists. Your pupils will then be dilated and you will be examined by a consultant, who will then discuss the nature of your cataract and your surgery options with you. The consultant will also evaluate your retina or the nerve of your eye. Prior to your cataract operation, you will need to undergo some routine medical and blood tests and an A-scan that will help the doctor to determine the power of the new lens to be implanted in your eye. You can then choose a convenient date for your eye surgery.
Is phacoemulsification long and painful?
No, the procedure is a simple day care one. The area surrounding your eye will be cleaned, and sterile drapes will be placed over you, exposing only the eye to be operated on. You might have a local anesthetic, which involves a small injection around your eye to keep the eye muscle relaxed during surgery or just drops instilled in your eye to numb it. This makes the surgery completely pain free. The whole process is usually under 10 to 15 minutes.
What do I need to do before the surgery?
It is good to wash your face thoroughly with soap and water before coming for surgery. Use the antibiotic eye drops prescribed to you before the surgery. You can eat a light breakfast on the morning of the surgery.
What happens after the surgery?
After surgery a bandage or shield will be placed over your eye. You can resume normal, moderate activity as soon as you feel up to it. You should wear protective glasses while going out during the first week. You can bathe carefully from below your neck but do not wet the operated eye for 15 days. You are advised to gently clean the eyelids with a piece of cotton boiled in water or a sterilized tissue. There are no diet restrictions following the surgery.
How long do I have to stay in the hospital after my surgery?
You can return home soon after your cataract operation. A routine postoperative visit the next day is needed. However, if you desire to stay back with an attendant you can stay overnight in comfortable inpatient rooms at no extra charge in our eye hospital in Tamil Nadu or Bangalore.
How soon will I be able to see after the surgery?
In some cases, the patient is able to see clearly immediately after the surgery. Although, for most it takes about two to three days.
Will I require spectacles after the procedure?
You may need to wear glasses after the procedure. If a monofocal intraocular lens is implanted, you will require glasses for reading. A multifocal intraocular lens implantation on the other hand will give you freedom from glasses for a majority of your distance, intermediate and near activities.
What is the life of the implanted intraocular lens? Will I need to replace it?
The implanted intraocular lens is permanent and lasts for the entire lifetime.
When can I plan cataract surgery for the other eye?
Usually both the eyes are not operated on the same day. Once the visual recovery of the first eye is complete, the second eye surgery can be planned.

Samsung trademarks another feature of its Bixby virtual assistant
It was first reported several months ago that Samsung is going to introduce a new artificial intelligence virtual personal assistant called Bixby with the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus. Since then we've seen enough circumstantial evidence to support the theory that this assistant will be onboard the new flagship smartphone when it arrives in a couple of months.
Samsung has now filed for a trademark in Europe for "Bixby Reminder," which suggests that this is going to be one of the many features that the assistant offers. It has previously trademarked features like Bixby Pay and Bixby Vision. While the trademark filing doesn't reveal much about this feature the brand name itself is quite self-explanatory. It suggests that Bixby will be able to handle users' calendar appointments via voice commands as well.
Previous reports have suggested that Bixby is going to be much more capable than the likes of Siri and Cortana but it remains to be seen just to what extent that's going to be true, particularly when you consider a recent report which suggested that Bixby is actually going to be based on Samsung's S Voice and not on the technology that the company got as part of its acquisition of Viv Labs, an AI company run by the creators of Siri.

Of course its going to be built using Viv Labs, why start from scratch when you have a base model to work with already – hence why they're building up from S Voice. You seem to forget that when Siri first came out, It wasn't much better than Google Voice search in terms of understanding commands

The Story
When most people think of the banjo, they think of that unmistakeable rapid fire succession of bright, hard driving notes generally heard in bluegrass. Few people think of, or have even heard of, "clawhammer", the intoxicatingly beautiful old-time Appalachian technique for playing the open-back banjo that has roots extending back to Africa.
Some years ago, I was befriended by master banjo builder Patrick "Doc" Huff who built me two extraordinarily beautiful and innovative instruments. Within days of receiving the first of these remarkable banjos, I wrote my opening composition, Sandy's Joy.
There is something magical in the tonal qualities of Pat's banjos and the more I explored them, the more my compositions revealed themselves. Michelangelo promised that "every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." Intrigued by this idea, I traded the mission of making traditional old-time music for the discipline of discovering the individual, inherited compositions hidden in these banjos.
This album showcases the eleven compositions I discovered and the instruments that inspired them. Both have brought me profound joy and my sincere hope is that they might do the same for you.

Unemployment rate edges up to 9.8%
Unemployment Report raises doubts about pace of recovery
The nation's unemployment rate rose in September, job losses jumped and many Americans quit looking for work, according to a report from the Labor Department that cast doubt on the effectiveness of the federal stimulus package and the notion the economy is recovering.
Unemployment nationwide rose to 9.8 percent in September from 9.7 percent the previous month. That's a 26-year high.
Add in those workers whose hours have been reduced, and others who have become so discouraged they have stopped looking, and the rate balloons to 17 percent.
Economists said the rate could have exceeded 10 percent if nearly 600,000 adults had not dropped out of the labor force entirely.
Employers cut 263,000 jobs last month, more than the 201,000 layoffs that occurred in August and far more than the 175,000 economists had expected in keeping with their notion of a recovery.
September marked the 21st consecutive month of losses in a recession that has eliminated more than 7.2 million jobs.
Economist Nigel Gault with IHS Global Insight said the economy is expanding despite the sick job market, in part because of federal stimulus programs like Cash for Clunkers. But he said the continuing job losses will curb consumer spending, make the economy sluggish and perpetuate high unemployment.
"We are still on a path to recovery, but it will not be a straight line, nor will it be quick," he said.
House Republican leader Rep. John Boehner said Friday's report showed that the Obama stimulus package, rather than being a job-creator, was "nothing more than big-government spending."
Vice President Joe Biden defended the package, saying "As bad as things are, they would be far worse without the recovery plan."
Asked about the possibility of a second stimulus, Biden said the administration was intent on "finishing the first one and doing it right."
Long-term unemployment
Economist Arpitha Bykere with RGE Monitor said one thing Congress should do is provide more help to offset the long-term unemployment that has been a cruel characteristic of this recession.
Of the 15.1 million Americans who are now unemployed, a record 5.4 million, or 36 percent, have been jobless for more than six months.
Congress has temporarily extended the normal 26 weeks of benefits up to a maximum of 79 weeks in high-unemployment states like California, where the jobless rate is already 12.2 percent.
But those extensions will expire at the end of December unless Congress decides to make this long-term support available throughout 2010 at a cost one Capitol Hill source has estimated at $70 billion.
Lawmakers are expected to soon approve a $1.4 billion bill to cover 13 additional weeks for the 400,000 Americans who have already run out of extended benefits.
But Congress has put off action on the larger and more costly issue of giving more recently laid-off workers long-term benefits.
Meanwhile, many communities and groups suffer worse than the national averages.
At a gathering of Bay Area employment experts held by The Chronicle this week, Gay Plair Cobb, chief executive of the Oakland Private Industry Council, said Oakland's unemployment rate is 17.5 percent.
Angela Blackwell, chief executive of the Oakland nonprofit PolicyLink, which researches social policy solutions, said many groups with higher unemployment rates need special help.
Minorities hit harder
Friday's report put unemployment among African Americans nationwide at 15.4 percent. For Latinos the rate is 12.7 percent.
Experts said the malaise of joblessness hits every strata of society.
UC Berkeley psychology Professor Dacher Keltner said unemployed adults suffer long-term damage to their health and self-esteem, and children find it particularly difficult to deal with loss of income.
Dr. David Spiegel, director of the Center on Stress and Health at Stanford University, said losing employer-provided health insurance is a bad side effect of job loss, adding that "health care reform is a potential stimulus package."

Hotels go for the green
By Malcolm Fleschner
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Whenever I stay in a hotel, I always keep an eye out for any new wrinkles the hospitality industry has come up with to better serve the weary traveler. Also bedbugs. One of my all-time favorite innovations has to be the "Sanitized for your protection" paper sash that hotels often drape across their rooms' commodes. Because only an establishment with the greatest confidence in its product can adorn the bathroom with a piece of paper that says, essentially, "You will not get herpes from this toilet seat."

Many of the advertising companies hand-picked by Facebook to provide in-app advertising "operate without regard to the most basic privacy norms," according to an analysis by PrivacyChoice, a nonprofit that supports online privacy.
Apps must gain permission from users to grab data, such as birthdays or social contacts, from their profiles. Advertising companies may see that data but have not obtained the user's permission to do so. Facebook handles this problem by requiring the advertising companies it white lists to agree not to use the data other than to target ads within the given app.
But the companies don't have track records for respecting users privacy, according to the PrivacyChoice analysis.
For example, just 16 percent of the companies have a deletion policy to address data for which they don't have consent. Just 13 and 19 percent, respectively, belong to the fair-advertising industry initiatives Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance. Just 1 percent honor consumers' Do-Not-Track preferences.
Facebook tells app makers that it is up to them "to ensure compliance with Facebook's Advertising Guidelines."
PrivacyChoice isn't alleging any actual breaches in privacy. Rather, it's pointing to a plausible scenario through which even conscientious Facebook users could inadvertently allow their data to leak beyond the Facebook ecosystem.

The much awaited BMW G310R will feature a single-cylinder 313cc engine that is liquid-cooled and fuel injected. The engine puts out 34 BHP power and 28 Nm torque through a 6-speed gearbox. The G310R was expected to be launched in India by September/ October, but fresh news suggest that the TVS Akula 310 or TVS Apache 300 will become the flagship model for TVS in India and will be a derived version from the G310R.
There is a lot of information available on the BMW G310R but details of the production version of the TVS Akula 310/ TVS Apache 300 are very scant. As of now the BMW G310R is being produced for exports to the European market where it would be positioned as an entry-level bike for newer riders and female riders.
The TVS Akula 310 was first showcased at the Auto Expo earlier this year and it was revealed that this bike would use the same power-train as the BMW G310R. It is possible that TVS will likely name the Akula as the Apache 300 to make the bike more recognisable by associating it with the familiar Apache brand. To deal with the fuel quality in India and to keep the power usable, the 313cc motor is likely to be down on power by 2-3 horses or so.
The production version of the TVS Akula 310/ TVS Apache 300 might not be as edgy and slim as the concept. The TVS Akula 310/ TVS Apache 300 will be much heavier and may lose some of the more racy features such as the ram air induction featured on the concept. It would be a sporty bike that is still very usable in the city and not be an aggressive track machine like KTM's RC series. TVS will likely launch the bike as planned in November and the on-road price is expected to be INR. 1.9 – 2.2 lakh.

Quietway consultations go live all over
- By SimonM on at 6:35pm 20 January 2016

Until last month, Quietways and their Zone 1 counterparts on the Central London Cycling Grid had been too quiet, if anything. Several of the first full routes had silently missed their deadlines. But now, with Mayoral purdah looming, Quietways are making a big noise.
A flurry of Quietway consultations in December included QW5 sections in Lambeth and QW7 sections in Southwark, as well as Central London Cycling Grid sections in the City and Westminster. And several sections of Quietway in Waltham Forest of QW2 have recently closed. But now they're coming thick and fast in January.
You can currently give opinions on the following Quietways, out to public consultation:
Quietway 5 Waterloo to Croydon – Wandsworth, closes 3 February
Quietway 4 Clapham Common to Wimbledon – Wandsworth, closes 14 February
And on the following Central London Cycling Grid Quietways:
Harrington Gardens to Bayswater Road – Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, closes 31 January
Fitrovia to Pimlico – Westminster, closes 8 February
Hyde Park to South Kensington (Exhibition Road) – Westminster, closes 8 February
Bayswater Road to Edgware Road – Westminster, closes 8 February
Green Park to Marylebone – Westminster, closes 8 February
Regents Park to Gladstone Park – Westminster, closes 8 February
On top of those, there are numerous individual junction on the Quietways and Central London Cycling Grid that TfL is currently also consulting on. You can find them here.
Of course, as we've already pointed out, the initial Quietways and Central London Cycling Grids have not lived up brilliantly to the Mayor's vision for them to be direct, designed as whole routes, segregated from motor traffic where they briefly join busy roads and to make use of "filtered permeability" that restricts through motor traffic etc. Here's hoping this new lot are an improvement.

Travel plans are always overwhelming. I jump with joy every time and the excitement persists throughout. I think making a travel plan while travelling is the best way to keep the excitement alive.
Early November, was all about my childhood friend's wedding and travelling all the way from Goa to Dimapur in Nagaland; it was quite exhilarating to say the least, and even more so as I was taking my friend along who had never been to my part of the world.
The journey started from Goa to Bangalore on an overnight bus, to meet a friend who was accompanying us on this reunion.
Early morning flights and cab rides are the safest routes when you are time-constrained. With limited time in the land far far away, we left for Meghalaya – the abode of clouds – from Lokpriya Gopinath International Airport in Guwahati.
My agenda of reunions was pretty strong. Even though I made phone calls to my friends, I was only interested in reconnecting with the ones I had lost touch with.
Jarryd Warjri used to be my colleague back in Delhi during our agency days. We became friends very fast, and family faster. So it wasn't a surprise when he invited me to stay with his adorable family in his breathtakingly stunning mountain home in Nongrah, on the outskirts of Shillong town. Being a matriarchal society, the women and their strengths are evident not only in their day-to-day lives, but also in the air. We drank tea and watched the sunset from his terrace. His mother made traditional Khasi beef curry for us after she got back from work, as we panicked about demonetization setting in from the next day. His banker mom assured us that she would take care of our money.
The next day, while the entire country was confused, we took a ride to jaw dropping Laitlum and rolled in the meadows drinking local rice beer that was sold for only thirty rupees in recycled beer bottles. All that I experienced that day made me feel on top of the world. There was some apprehension because we were traveling further to Nagaland, but I was relishing the fact that I was amongst nature at its most striking and not in a queue for the bank or the ATM. The lunch at Smit of pork blood rice with beef balls and chicken curry and radish salad was a highlight amongst all lunches I have had, but nothing beat Mother Warjri's boiled pork with spinach and rice with fried potatoes for breakfast that morning. It was undoubtedly the kind of breakfast I would like to have every morning. Seeing around Shillong with the locals, eating lots of street food and meeting lots of nice people; we were pumped for the wedding and seeing more of the north-east. Mother Warjri got our money exchanged, and with lots of 100 rupee notes we set off for Dimapur.
The bride and the groom came to pick us up and in between innumerable hugs and greetings we were at the spot of the reunion and the excitement level was on an all-time high. Checking-in to our hotel rooms, everyone was still talking about the banned notes while I was ordering Pork with Bamboo Shoots (Naga Style) and making shopping plans.
The Hong Kong market in Dimapur is very cutting-edge in fashion and reasonably priced too. Even my online-shopping, brand-conscious friend from Mumbai was unstoppable. His face was a delight.
Dimapur town starts to shut down at around 6 p.m. as it starts getting dark. By 8 p.m., it is like an abandoned town. The party continued with my childhood friends however, and nostalgia was at its peak.
The wedding day was finally here and as our bride dolled up in a custom-made gown, we shone no less as bridesmaids. Even though unofficial bridesmaids, the four of us did not leave her side and cried at appropriate moments. Weddings are just so emotional!
The ceremony was short and sweet. My first-time at a Baptist wedding, I was moved at how beautiful the traditions actually are. The groom's friend, who used to be a vocalist in his band, sang "The way you love me" and the entire church was in tears and saying "once more" under their breath. The ceremony was followed by an elaborate meal by the groom's family and the spread was opulent. With pork and beef dominating obviously, the menu included rice, lentils, fermented kidney beans and Naga chillis for an extra twist. The fresh apples for dessert took my heart away. So simple, yet so elegant.
The next few days I detoxed myself, still continuing to eat lots of bamboo shoot with pork wherever I went and enjoying lots of shopping from Hong Kong market. Dimapur is a crowded and noisy town. The roads are not in a very good condition because it is remote and neglected. The people and their homes are all British influenced-Assam-style houses and an insight into the lives guaranteed a good heart everywhere. An auto driver even returned a few of my things when I forgot it in his auto after two days.
On the way back, my Mom and Dad traveled 12 hours from my hometown to meet me in Guwahati. As they played perfect hosts and made my friend feel at home, I realized where I got my social skills from and felt so grateful in the way they brought me up, helping me be where I am today. The last day of the trip came, and as most of our 100 rupee notes had been spent, we stood in the ATM line for almost an hour only for the money to run out in the machine once we got to the front of the line. That was a moment of realization that maybe this sudden decision will hit some of us real hard and it is just inevitable chaos that will follow.
Trump winning the presidential election gave me lots to read about on my way back. Americans do perplex me the most and I was really interested in politics suddenly. I realized that, for better or for worse, the political system will always have control over a portion of our lives. We will only be a content nation and citizens by following the law and doing what is right for our consciousness. Travel is still my answer and not even demonetization can stop me from travelling. I am coming back to the North East in February 2017 while, for now, dealing with business in Goa in the times of demonetization is my agenda.

By Barry S. Anton, PhD • APA President
"For fast-acting relief, try slowing down."
— Lily TomlinI didn't know what to expect when I walked into my 50th high schoolreunion in October. Mixed feelings of anxiety and joyful anticipation swirledinside me. I felt my heart beating like I was going to the junior prom. I tooka few deep breaths to calm myself and ventured in. I worried that I wouldn'trecognize anyone without their yearbook pictures on their nametags.
Luckily, the festive mood and warm greetings of old friends
immediately dissipated my stress.
It was over too fast, but it was a nice interlude in my stress-filled life. As I got into my car late that Saturday night, I thought
about the next day's travel to Washington, D.C., for the APA
Education Leadership Conference and our upcoming meetings
on Capitol Hill to advocate for subsidized student loans.
Another stressful week in a long series of stressful weeks.
As psychologists, we know that stress and anxiety are flight-or-fight responses to threats. Feeling emotional or having
difficulty sleeping and eating can all be natural reactions to
stress, whether it's acute or chronic. Fear and worry can activate
the physiological release of hormones that speed up our hearts,
increase our breathing rates and enhance our blood flow.
Research shows that long-term activation of the body's stress
response can impair the immune system and increase the risk of
physical and mental health problems.
As APA's "Stress in America" survey shows us each year,many Americans are living with significant stress. Notsurprising given the Great Recession, Americans have beenparticularly stressed about finances in recent years. Work is oneof the most commonly reported sources of stress. The surveyalso revealed that teen stress rivals adult stress, and teens oftenfeel overwhelmed, depressed and sad. The survey noted that toolittle sleep coupled with too little exercise, and either overeatingor eating unhealthy foods, are common among teens. Inaddition, teens who reported high stress reported being onlineabout 3. 2 hours per day compared to two hours a day for thoseteens who reported lower stress levels.
What can we do to help Americans cope with chronic stress?
Here is some of the advice that APA offers on its public website:
• Identify what's causing stress and take action.
• Build strong, positive relationships: Connect with
supportive friends and family members when you're having a
difficult time.
• Get regular exercise, eat nourishing food and participate in
activities you enjoy.
• Stay focused on the positive and avoid negative energy.
• Avoid drugs and alcohol.
• Rest your mind: Sleep, do yoga, meditate and perform
relaxation exercises that can help restore energy.
• Get help from a psychologist when you're overwhelmed.
I can't help but reflect on the level of stress that APA
governance members and staff have experienced in the past
few months in the wake of the independent review report. It
found that some APA officials worked with military officials
to have APA issue insufficiently restrictive ethical guidelines
for military psychologists participating in national security
Organizational change and transition can be stressful even
in the best of times. APA's governance and staff are feeling
enormous pressure to fulfill challenging obligations to help
the association move forward. My hope is that we find healthy
ways to deal with these transitions and not allow the stressors of
change to affect our working relationships.
APA's 125th anniversary is in 2017. Let's be sure to celebrate
all the good we do as an association at this anniversary. n
As APA's "Stress in America" survey
shows us each year, many Americans
are living with significant stress. Not
surprising given the Great Recession,
Americans have been particularly
stressed about finances in recent years.

Parents are naive to think it could never happen to their child; statistics say otherwise. We are focused on recovery and relapse prevention.
Simcoe County, Ontario (PRWEB) November 15, 2013
Ontario Municipal and Federal leaders are rallying behind a major community project that supports teens recovering from substance abuse. A first for Canada, Quest Collegiate and Recovery Centres is a charitable organization working towards the launch of two recovery education campuses in Simcoe County for 2014.
"Our immediate goal is to raise awareness of substance use disorder among the province's high school population and the important role these centres will play in their recovery," said Founder, Eileen Shewen.
According to 2011 statistics by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) about 13% of teens from grade 7 to 12 may have a drug use problem. This represents over 130,000 students across Ontario with no regional differences in abuse patterns. CAMH also reports 18% of teens, just over 175,000, report drinking at hazardous or harmful levels. Roughly 9,000 of these kids seek formal treatment every year.
Approximately 50% to 90% of teens who reintegrate into their former environment after treatment end up using again, creating a life-long cycle of treatment and relapse. "We are focused squarely on recovery and relapse prevention."
Based on US models, the Centre allows students to pursue their Ontario Secondary School diploma in a drug and alcohol free environment, away from negative peer influence and incorporates an active program of recovery into their daily curriculum. Program elements include onsite group therapy, family therapy, leadership development, self-help meetings with additional outside resources as needed.
"Substance abuse is not a phase that kids will outgrow," says Shewen, "It is a very real mental disorder that impacts teens throughout their entire lives. Parents are naïve to think that it will never happen to their child; the statistics say otherwise."
Quest will open their social media channels to answer questions about the project and the organization's mission, purpose, and goals. "We welcome Q&A because we want to dispel the misconceptions about kids in recovery and educate the public on the roles of addiction treatment and recovery education."
A November 28th fundraiser will be held at Tangle Creek in Barrie, Ontario attended by Simcoe County business leaders as well as Federal, Provincial, and Municipal leaders and elite athletes from across the region. For information on ticket sales and availability, contact Eileen Shewen at 705-262-7372, e-mail info(at)questcollegiate(dot)org, or #QuestCollegiateFundraiser.

our history
Haflinger Technik was created in June 2002, however its roots go back many years. In 1958, Mr Peter Ward and his wife Margaret established a motor vehicle business in the village of Lealholm, on the North Yorkshire Moors, trading as P & M Ward of Lealholm. Due to the remoteness of the village, Peter soon saw an opportunity for dealing in four wheel drive vehicles such as Land Rovers, WW2 jeeps etc. In the late '60's, Peter became aware of a new vehicle which was built in Austria by Steyr – Daimler – Puch (S.D.P.), called the "Haflinger", and by the early 1970's P & M Ward became agents for SDP vehicles. The Haflinger was designed for the Austrian and Swiss armies as a small troop / missile carrier, but due to its small size, very high quality and renowned ability it was well suited to hill farmers and estates as a shepherding tool.
P & M Ward supplied Haflingers and spare parts in the Yorkshire area, and consequently for the petrol "Pinzgauer", which was a larger vehicle built by SDP, but few of these were sold in the civilian market at the time due to their relatively high cost. This continued until a shock decision by SDP in 1974 to cease production of the Haflinger.
Peter Ward continued to supply parts for the Haflinger, and the occasional new Pinzgauer, and over time many of his fellow SDP agents across the UK and Europe decided to stop selling parts for the little 4x4, often selling their stocks to P & M Ward at this time. By the late 80's, parts were becoming scarce and there was little interest in the Haflinger, as it was by now too old for work and not regarded as a "Classic", however Peter persevered, having some parts re manufactured and sourcing other parts from all over the world.
In the Nineties, the Swiss army began to sell off the Haflingers still in service, and Peter purchased large quantities of their stocks of spare parts. Approximately 3,000 army vehicles were disposed of and quickly snapped up by enthusiasts all across Europe, UK, Africa and the USA, adding to those already distributed in previous years when new. P & M Ward was now in a very strong position, holding the largest stock of parts in the world for these vehicles which were by now very sought after and appreciating in value rapidly, and in the hands of enthusiasts who now saw the potential to restore and preserve them.
In early 2002 Peter decided that he would like to semi retire from the motor trade approached myself as a long time enthusiast and friend, to ask if we would like to take over the Haflinger / Pinzgauer division of his business. We agreed, and in June 2002 the stock was transported to Scotland and the new company, "Haflinger Technik" was established. The next chapter in the story has begun !
