Parents of NAACP chapter president Rachel Dolezal say she is not black
The president of a local chapter of the NAACP who has identified as partially black on official documents is "Caucasian by birth," according to her parents, who are accusing her of misrepresenting her identity.
Rachel Dolezal, head of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington, does not speak to her parents because of an ongoing legal conflict. This week, they told reporters that Dolezal is white, despite how she portrays herself.
"She knows it's false, but I think she's told herself as well as she's told others this erroneous identity of hers enough that by now, she may believe it more than she believes the truth," Dolezal's mother, Ruthanne Dolezal, told NBC affiliate KHQ in Spokane. Ruthanne and her husband Larry live in Montana and have not been in contact with their daughter for years.
"She is Caucasian by birth," Larry told KHQ.On Friday, the NAACP said it has a "long and proud tradition of receiving support from people of all faiths, races, colors and creeds."
"NAACP Spokane Washington Branch President Rachel Dolezal is enduring a legal issue with her family, and we respect her privacy in this matter. One's racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership," it said in a statement, adding that it stood behind her advocacy record.
In addition to her position at the NAACP, Dolezal, 37, is the chairwoman of Spokane's Office of Police Ombudsman Commission, a volunteer appointment. On the application for the job, she identified as white, black, and American Indian.
Prompted by claims from her parents that their family heritage is Czech, Swedish, German and a trace of Native American — but not black — the city is looking into whether Dolezal violated policy by lying about her race on a job application.
WATCH: A word on Rachel Dolezal
"We are gathering facts to determine if any city policies related to volunteer boards and commissions have been violated," Mayor David Condon and Council President Ben Stuckart said in a statement Thursday. "That information will be reviewed by the City Council, which has oversight of city boards and commissions."
In the meantime, controversy is swirling over Dolezal's appearance and NAACP role.
After pictures of Dolezal as a freckly girl with straight blond hair and light skin were put on social media side-by-side with photos of her now — with a bronze complexion and dark, curly hair — tweets started accusing her of deceit.
Blair L. M. Kelley, an associate professor of history at North Carolina State University and host of a weekly podcast that discusses race issues in America, said she doesn't understand why Dolezal wouldn't identify as white.
"Many of the founders of the NAACP were white," she told NBC News. "It was founded as an interracial group. So there's white people in the NAACP, and there's no need to be not white in the NAACP."
Dolezal did not return media inquiries from NBC News. But in a tearful interview with CBS affiliate KREM in Spokane, Dolezal said she has no relationship with her biological parents, and doesn't see why they feel the need to bring up her ethnicity.
"I do not talk to Ruthanne or Larry anymore," she said. "What I say to them is, you know, I don't give two ***** what you guys think."
RELATED: Spokane NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal falsely portrays herself as black, family says
As for who she considers to be her family, in January, Dolezal posted a photo on her NAACP chapter's Facebook page of herself with a black man whom she referred to as her father.
Jeff Humphrey, a reporter from KXLY in Spokane confronted her on Thursday about the photo, asking if it was really her dad. When Dolezal said it was, Humphrey pressed her: "I was wondering if your dad really is an African-American man."
"I don't know what you're implying," Dolezal replied.
"Are you African-American?" he asked.
"I don't understand the question. I did tell you that yes, that's my dad," she said before walking away.
Her biological parents told The Spokesman-Review in Spokane that Dolezal began to "disguise herself" in 2006 or 2007 after the family adopted four black children; Dolezal told KREM she considered herself to be the mother, not sister, of one of those children.
"I am his mom," she insisted. "He's not my brother. That's not our relationship."

Complete Dentures
A complete denture is used to replace missing teeth for patients who have no remaining teeth. It is important to replace missing teeth as their absence can not only affect your ability to chew and speak properly, but also negatively impact your facial appearance with sagging features resulting from the loss of tooth structure. Dentures can either be fixed or removable. Some patients may need to have remaining teeth extracted in order to place the denture as well as correcting any bony ridges to ensure proper placement and comfort.

Proofpoint, Inc. to Acquire Armorize Technologies, Inc.
Today we light the firecrackers at Armorize!
We're extremely excited to let you know that Armorize Technologies Inc. will become a part of Proofpoint Inc.! The acquisition has been approved by the Proofpoint Board of Directors and by the requisite Armorize shareholders and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2013. We owe this incredible success to our current team and to our many friends who've supported us along the way. Thank you everyone!
For me personally, the past few years have been the happiest time of my life. At Armorize I get to work with a great team, and I really appreciate the chemistry, the friendship, and the sense of mission; we're like a family and I constantly felt we were making progress, innovating, overcoming challenges, learning, improving, helping each other, helping our users, and making impossible happen. It's an incredible feeling, indescribably great, utterly satisfying, and highly addictive. It was worth every minute of the hard work! Money can't buy this and I am grateful for the amazing experience and memories. I feel very lucky.
Proofpoint is a worldwide leader in email security and it's incredible to see their progress as highlighted by Gartner's report: Magic Quadrant for Secure Email Gateways 2013.
An important reason for Proofpoint to stand out as a clear leader in Gartner's 2013 report, is its new Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) offering, which leverages Armorize's advanced malware scanning platform. Email is the primary attack vector in Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), and is often used as means to deliver malicious URLs and documents to victims.
An interesting question is: even if a victim was lured into opening a malicious URL or document, why would he or she get infected? How did the attack bypass the antivirus solutions, the UTMs, and the email security gateways? To dig into this, let's reflect back on how the antivirus industry all started: most antivirus started out aiming at detecting viruses on the PC. The keyword here isn't "virus;" it's "PC." The PC has always had very limited computation power and therefore, all along the way, antivirus' goal has been to "detect as much as possible" under constrained resources. After all, who'd like to use antivirus products that consume half of our PC's resources, and reduce our notebook's battery life by half?
This concept rooted even deeper into the antivirus industry as the Internet boomed and antivirus vendors started to integrate with all sorts of network devices – firewalls, gateways, email servers, IDS, etc. These were great new markets for the antivirus vendors, but because speed is critical and computation power is limited to what's available on an appliance, antivirus went further down the road of signature-based pattern matching.
In today's world where mature cloud technologies are readily available, an important question we ask ourselves is:
Can we scale up our detection rate proportionate to our available computation power? For antivirus, the answer is NO. Since antivirus detection rate quickly plateaus as we add resources, it is hard for antivirus to benefit from today's cloud advancements. Don't get me wrong, antivirus can still leverage the cloud to scale up their detection "volume" and "speed," but when it comes to increasing the detection rate, not really.
Aimed at detecting next generation threats, Armorize set its goal to build a detection platform whose detection rate scales up in proportion to the computation power. This allows us to leverage recent cloud advancements and increase our detection rate as cloud technologies improve.
If we look at sandboxing, which we use heavily, well, sandboxing isn't really "new." Sandboxing was a hot security technology in the early 2000, but it didn't pick up as well as expected. The reason? The concept was innovative at the time, but the mindset was not so. Vendors were trying to offer sandboxing as better antivirus products – meaning, designing sandboxing products to run on PCs and notebooks.
It wasn't a great fit at the time, again, due to the PC's limited resources. Using dedicated hardware for sandboxing is a better approach, but it still doesn't leverage modern cloud advancements.
Today at Armorize, we've successfully built a platform that combines sandbox-based attack detection with cloud-based technologies. The boost in detection rate was phenomenal. Scaling up the detection rate has become practical. This is what Proofpoint is using for their TAP (Targeted Attack Protection), and this has contributed greatly to their improved status in Gartner 2013's Magic Quadrant as a clear leader in email security.
Our new platform is focused on detecting "next generation attacks," and it doesn't just include APT. For example, an important APT requirement is to focus the attack scope. To reduce exposure and prolong attack lifespan, APT attacks limit the delivery scope and focus only on desired targets. This coincides with the requirements of the online advertising industry--targeted, selected delivery scope, differentiating bots (ex: crawlers) against humans, and so on.
For online advertisers, each click or impression costs money and therefore, it is critical for the ecosystem to be extremely accurate at differentiating between bots and humans. Serving ads to bots results in wasted advertising dollars due to the fact that there is no hope of converting a bot to a customer. For APT attackers, serving exploits to these bots runs the risk of exposing attack campaign, and so they must also be very good at differentiating visitors and at targeting content.
Because these requirements coincide, attackers have been leveraging the online advertising ecosystem to spread malware, resulting in a new type of hard-to-detect threat. We call this "malvertising," which in our view makes up another type of next generation threat.
For Armorize, the acquisition presents a Launchpad from which we plan to soar to new heights. In recnet years we've been quiet on our blog, because we've been very busy building our new platform. We've even created our own static+dynamic analysis engine that goes together with our own threat description language we call Vicara. As per the Chinese idiom, "Like adding wings to a tiger," Proofpoint's comprehensive email security platform, combined with Armorize's new cloud-based next generation defense platform, is going to change the way people consider email security. At the same time, armed with Proofpoint's resources, we'll be quickly improving all products under HackAlert Suite, including HackAlert Website Monitoring, HackAlert SafeImpression, HackAlert Vulnerability Assessment, and HackAlert CodeSecure.
Powered with Proofpoint's extensive experience in cloud computing, HackAlert Suite is going to incorporate innovations at a much faster rate. Coupled with Proofpoint's sales and customer support resources, HackAlert Suite will be able to help a much wider spectrum of businesses in their fight against next generation threats.
Starting out eight years ago, Armorize has grown solidly, step by step. We are so very excited about the future, and to have the opportunity to make a much greater impact in helping businesses protect their investments, customers, employees and Intellectual Property, allowing them to focus on their own core competencies and generate further value for all of their stakeholders.
We'd like to express our sincere gratitude to all the friends we've made along the way. It is because of your help that we have made it this far and we will always be grateful and cherish the memories. Moving forward, please give us and Proofpoint your continued support as we strive to deliver the world's most advanced defense platform against next generation threats. Thank you!

When Bank of America credit officer Dan Petrik and his team sat down in early 2007 to analyze Sam Zell's plan to take control of Tribune Co., their numbers showed that the complex deal failed to meet five of the bank's 10 lending guidelines.
There was too much borrowed money, too little collateral and the overall risk rating that BofA assigned to the transaction was below what the bank liked to see, according to its preliminary analysis. Petrik had never worked on a deal so weighed down by debt. He couldn't remember doing a transaction that had missed so many lending criteria.

KPFA Weekend News, 03.31.2012 Raissa Ujeneza, daughter of imprisoned Rwandan opposition leader Victoire Ingabire, on her mother's challenge to Rwanda's genocide ideology statutes.
In Kigali, at a ceremony memorializing the 16th anniversary of the Rwanda Genocide, on 04.07.2010, Paul Kagame referred to opposition presidential candidate Victoire Ingabiré Umuhoza as "some lady," refusing to say her name. In the same speech, which was supposed to honor a million Rwandans who lost their lives to the violence concluding Rwanda's four year, 1990- 1994 civil war, Kagame spoke to his fury with any Rwandans who would dare to seriously run against him in this year's presidential election, saying that "if they want a fight, we will give them a fight they will never forget.
KPFA Radio News report, 03.21.2010.
using their puppets in the region like Yoweri Museveni of Uganda,Paul Kagame of Rwanda & Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia.Always the worst dictators in Africa are supported by the west,WHY ?
The Rwanda New Times reported, on 03.11.2010, that 140 Rwandan Police are undertaking special training to serve as peacekeepers in Haiti. I reported this story for the San Francisco Bay View, National Black Newspaper, on 03.12.2010, http://goo.gl/54mx, and on KPFA Radio News on 03.15.2010. This is the KPFA Radio News report
On Thursday, March 4th, two days after Senator Russ Feingold, Chair of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Africa, called for the opening of political space in Rwanda, grenades exploded again in Kigali, with 16 people hurt, some critically. The Feingold Statement on the Fragility of Democracy in Africa was read into the Congressional Record and released to the public on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010, as tension continued to increase in the run up to this year's Rwandan presidential election, with polls scheduled for August 9th, and opposition parties still struggling to convene, register, campaign, and avoid arrest. Rwandan 256.com correspondent Godwin Agaba says that the Kagame government is staging the bombings to frighten the population and create an excuse to arrest its enemies.

Transit News
Statement by APTA President William Millar
"The American Public Transportation Association and its 1,500 members have strong concerns about the reductions in public transportation and high-speed rail investment in the FY 2011 continuing resolution.
Singling out the high-speed rail program by eliminating all FY 2011 dollars is simply short-sighted. This is particularly troublesome when 32 states and the District of Columbia are advancing projects with FY 2010 dollars. High-speed and intercity passenger rail investments are catalysts to create jobs and provide the foundation for our nation's growing economy.
In addition, the reductions in public transportation investment for new projects could not come at a worse time as Americans deal with the rising cost of gasoline. When gas prices rise, taking public transportation is the quickest way to beat high gas prices. Now is the time we should be expanding our investment in public transportation infrastructure, not reducing it.
Furthermore, a lack of investment will make it difficult for our nation to meet the growing demand for transportation services and bring our infrastructure up to a state of good repair. We urge Congress to make investing in our nation's transportation systems a top priority in their upcoming deliberations for current and future funding proposals."
# # #
The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) is a nonprofit international association of 1,500 public and private member organizations, engaged in the areas of bus, paratransit, light rail, commuter rail, subways, waterborne services, and intercity and high-speed passenger rail. This includes: transit systems; planning, design, construction, and finance firms; product and service providers; academic institutions; transit associations and state departments of transportation. APTA members serve the public interest by providing safe, efficient and economical transit services and products. More than 90 percent of the people using public transportation in the United States and Canada ride APTA member systems.

Low Residue Diet – What Is It And What Foods To Eat & Avoid
Inflammation of the lining of the intestinal wall causes Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) such as diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. These diseases are painful and can cause acute diarrhea, fever, fatigue, reduced appetite, weight loss, and blood in the stools. To soothe the lining of the intestines, doctors often recommend following a low residue diet or a low fiber diet.
A low residue diet restricts fiber and other foods that are difficult to digest. Fiber is made up of plant material that the body cannot digest completely. Residue is the undigested food, mostly fiber, which makes up the stool. A low-fiber diet will help reduce the amount of undigested food, therefore, reducing the bowel volume and the amount of stool.
Health professionals recommend a low residue diet or low-fiber diet before certain surgeries. A low residue diet is usually followed for a short duration. You should always consult a nutritionist to plan a low residue diet for you. Due to impaired nutrient absorption, you may have to include vitamin supplements in your diet.
This article gives a detailed account of what a low-residue diet is, the low-residue diet plan, and the list of foods that you should eat and avoid if you are suffering from IBD.

Low Residue Diet Food List
The low residue diet limits your intake of fiber and several other important nutrients. Hence, you should not be looking at this diet as a long-term solution for your symptoms. Generally, you need to stay away from whole grains, nuts, and seeds as they are full of fiber. However, there are many other foods you can enjoy as part of your diet.
1. Grains
- White rice, refined pasta, and noodles
- Cooked cereals
- Cold cereals, such as corn flakes
- Bread and crackers made from refined white flour
2. Fruits and Vegetables
Usually, the skin and seeds of fruits are fibrous. Hence, you should peel off the skin and avoid the seeds to enjoy a bland, low residue diet. Following is a list of fruits and vegetables you can include in your low residue diet:
- Asparagus tips
- Green beans
- Mushrooms
- Spinach
- Squash without seeds
- Pumpkin
- Potato without skin
- Ripe banana
- Cantaloupe
- Avocado
- Canned pears without skin and seeds
3. Dairy Products
You can consume milk and other dairy products, but in moderation. However, if you suffer from lactose intolerance, you should stay away from milk and other dairy products.
4. Meat
The good news about the low residue diet is that there is no restriction on meat and poultry consumption. You can eat beef, chicken, lamb, and pork, provided they are soft, tender, and lean.
5. Fats, Condiments, And Sauces
You can eat the following as part of your low residue diet:
- Margarine
- Butter
- Oils
- Ketchup
- Mayonnaise
- Sour cream
- Jelly
- Honey
- Soy sauce
- Salad dressing
You can also eat plain cakes, cookies, puddings, custard, pretzels, hard candies, ice creams, and popsicles. Where the beverages are concerned, you should be looking at decaffeinated coffee and sodas. Caffeine can irritate your stomach. You can also drink fresh vegetable juices. However, make sure to strain them before consumption.
Foods To Avoid
There are certain foods that should be completely eliminated from your diet when you follow a low residue diet. These foods include the following:
- Nuts
- Seeds
- Raw fruits and dried fruits
- Whole grain and whole grain products
- Beans and lentils
- Vegetables rich in fiber, such as broccoli, peas, and Brussels sprouts
- Tofu
- Pickles
- Cheese with fruits, nuts, and seeds
- Popcorn
- Fruit juices with pulp
- Olives
- Sauerkraut
- Peanut butter
- Preserves
- Tofu
Low Residue Diet Recipe
Baked Fish With Asparagus And Green Beans
What You Need
- Salmon fillet
- 5 asparagus tips
- 6 green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 thyme stem
- 1 teaspoon butter
- Salt and pepper
How To Prepare
- Marinate the fish with salt, pepper, and lemon juice for 10 minutes.
- Wash the veggies and remove the inedible parts and toss in a bowl.
- Add olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper in the bowl and mix well.
- In a baking tray, lay the fish, drizzle a little oil, and bake at 180°C for 5 minutes.
- Take out the baking tray and add the veggies. Bake for 5 minutes more.
Vegetarian Alternative
If you do not want to eat meat, you can use mashed potato (peeled).
Role Of Exercise
Regular exercising will keep you active, build muscles, and strengthen your bones. Try to incorporate a minimum of 20 minutes of workout into your daily routine. Walking, lunges, jogging, stairs workout, rope jumping, bicycling, and yoga are recommended.
Benefits Of A Low Residue Diet
- Beneficial for people suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
- Soothes the stomach and prevents bloating, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.
- More nutrients are absorbed as the transit time in the intestine gets prolonged.
Side Effects Of A Low Residue Diet
- May cause nutrition deficiency, which may lead to several health problems.
- Since fiber helps to mobilize fat, a low-fiber diet may cause weight gain.
Dos & Don'ts
|Follow this diet only if you suffer from any inflammatory bowel disease.
|Do not follow this diet without a doctor's advice.
|Make sure to drink fresh fruit juice every day.
|Do not add the pulp of the fruit into the fruit juice.
|Eat proteins to help you strengthen your muscles.
|Do not eat anything that is listed in the "foods to avoid" list.
A low residue diet can help soothe the walls of your intestine and help you feel better. Check the fiber content before buying the veggies, fruits, and grains. Follow a low fiber diet only if your doctor advises you to do so. If you experience stomach pain even after being on a low fiber diet, see your doctor immediately. Also, being on a low fiber diet can cause nutrient deficiency. Hence, you should take strained fruit and vegetable juices along with multivitamin supplements.
- How much fiber is present in a low fiber diet?
About 1 gram of fiber per serving is allowed for people suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
- Can I eat chocolate while on a low residue diet?
Yes, you can eat chocolate while following a low residue diet. However, you cannot have chocolates that contain nuts.
- Do I have to follow a low residue diet before a colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is a procedure to take a look at any inflammation, bleeding, ulcer, cancer, and polyps on the lining of the colon. Since high-fiber foods are tough to digest and may cause inflammation on the walls of the colon, it is advised to follow a low residue diet before colonoscopy.
- Should I follow a low residue diet if I have diverticulitis?
Small pockets or pouches formed on the lining of the intestine can sometimes get infected and inflamed. This condition is known as diverticulitis. Your doctor may recommend you to be on a low residue diet for some time so that the bowel volume decreases (high fiber diet causes increased bowel volume) and the infection heals. Take your doctor's opinion before following the low residue diet.
- Should I follow a low residue diet if I have ulcerative colitis?
When the lining of the colon becomes ulcerated, it causes diarrhea and severe pain. To soothe the walls of the colon, a low fiber diet may be recommended by the doctor. Please consult your doctor to know the reason for abdominal pain and diarrhea before starting to follow a low residue diet.
- Is a low residue diet the reason for constipation?
While on a low residue or low fiber diet, you have less bowel volume, and your intestinal walls need extra movement and energy for the bowel to move. This may lead to constipation. If you have any inflammatory bowel disease, the only way to avoid constipation is by drinking enough water throughout the day.
- Can I consume alcohol while on low residue diet?
No. Alcohol increases the peristaltic movement of the intestine and causes more inflammation. Consuming alcohol will only further irritate the intestinal walls.

Cheers to good health!

Nigeria's government has declared the Islamic law, Sharia, unconstitutional. A letter from the country's justice minister calls for governors of the 12 northern states that have adopted Sharia to reconsider their decisions to impose the law.
In his letter, Nigerian Justice Minister Kanu Agabi urged governors of the states to modify their application of Sharia in order to bring it in line with the country's secular laws.
Mr. Agabi alleged that Sharia, as it is being applied, discriminates against Nigerian Muslims by subjecting them to criminal penalties that are more severe than those that are applied to all other Nigerians.
Under Sharia, penalties include the amputation of one's hands for theft. Offenses such as adultery are punishable by death.
The justice minister's declaration follows a wave of international protests over the case of Safiya Husseini, a 35-year-old woman who was condemned last October to death by stoning for adultery. Ms. Husseini is currently appealing the sentence.
Her next hearing is scheduled on Monday.
Mr. Agabi says he has received hundreds of letters from all over the world protesting the types of punishments that have been handed down by Sharia courts. The justice minister said he fears Nigeria may face isolation from other countries if these punishments continue to be handed down.
Nigerian Islamic leaders insist Sharia only applies to Muslims. But its implementation has raised suspicions between Muslims, and Christians who fear their rights may also be infringed under the strict code.
Some Nigerian Muslims say they support Sharia because they see it as a means to rebuild a moral structure in a country rife with crime and corruption. Others complain it has more often been unevenly applied to those who are poor and powerless, while those who are wealthy and influential often go unpunished.
The adoption of Sharia has sparked ethnic and religious clashes that have killed thousands of people during the past two years. It has also deepened a political divide between the predominantly Muslim northern states and the officially secular government of President Olusegun Obasanjo, a Christian southerner.

My husband was at Sunharbor Manor for 3 weeks. The place is immaculate. The staff is very friendly, from the nurses to the aides, and the physical therapists. He received physical therapy regularly, and in between someone came daily to walk with him. The doctors on staff gave wonderful care, always on top of everything, and communicated with me through out his stay. The administrator went above, and beyond always asking if my husband needs anything, and even visiting him to make sure everything is ok. My husband came to Sunharbor Manor unable to walk, and left only needing a cane. I highly reccommend Sunharbor Manor to anyone who needs a rehabilitation facility.

I am/was a resident of this facility
Do not take your family member here. the nursing staff are rude and abrupt. They don't take the time with their patients. They really need to be trained better. The place isn't like the pictures at all. Food is awful. DO NOT GO HERE

A family member recently was at Sunharbor Manor and she received excellent care. The staff is incredible.. The place is beautiful and clean and non-institutional in feel. There's even a beautiful patio for patients to go to for fresh air. We couldn't have asked for a better place. I highly recommend this.

My mom is at Sunharbor Manor. The experience is very good. The only issue that we have is what the price of it costs because we are private pay, so we were looking for a less expensive place. Other than that, we have no problem with the facility or the people there. They are very good. We have no complaints with the staff. My mom is in a semi-private room, and she has a roommate. Food is acceptable. Everyday they have different activities going on during the day, and once every couple of weeks, they are all loaded onto a transport bus, and they go out for different lunches and different facilities.

I visited this facility
Beautiful appearance as you enter. The therapist that worked with my family member was very good. So much for the positives. On my family members way to therapy, they did not watch her and she fell. Their response. This happens. What. Should never happen. Stay away from this place - get name of therapist there and hire them independently

this facility should be investigated,half of the staff are not nursing home efficient, some are lazy, some are rude, some should go back to nursing school, actually I don't know how they even graduated,no compassion and the food is old and recycled which I seen it with my own eyes. This facility should be investigated New York State should have tougher laws when it comes to nursing facility I hope that someone reads this and does something about it because this facility is falling apart.

My mom entered your facility unable to walk, feed herself- basically on her deathbed. She left 2 months later. She was walking with her walker, feeding herself with a new lease on life. By the way, she is 94. This is all happened because of the outstanding staff. I have to begin with the recreation staff because emotional health is an important part of healing. Your director there for the rehab patient was an exuberant & caring woman who heAvily contributed to the patients' well being. Physical therapy & the nursing staff also excelled. Thank you sun harbor manor!

My mother is a patient at Sunharbor Manor. The facility has some positive aspects but what is most troubling is the insensitive attitudes of the LPNs and/or Nurses Aides. On several occasions I have visited with my mother and noticed that she was visibly upset. She is not one to complain which is probably why the staff members have ignored her and treated her with such disrespect. I think it is so important for staff members who work with the elderly to understand that their clients are at a stage in their lives where they can't care for themselves. Quite often this population suffers from depression because they must depend on others for assistance with their daily living skills. My mother does not feel good about having to ask for assistance with bathing herself, going to the toilet and wearing a soiled pamper for most of the day because she is afraid to ask the staff to change her pamper for fear of being ignored, rejected and/or insulted by the workers saying unkind things under their breath about not wanting to change her soiled pamper. Families are at the mercy of these institutions because quite often the children of the elderly must work so we can't be at these facilities full time to care for our love ones. What is most troubling is that these facilities are reimbursed by the insurance carriers to render high quality service to their clients. In closing, it is my hopes that the senior executive leadership will conduct a quality review to see how poorly their staff is treating the patients. A lot of the elderly patients at this facility will not openly complain for fear of retaliation. I am looking forward to our mother coming home. This is not a rehabilitiation facility that I would recommend because the staff is poorly trained, lazy and insensitive.

They were very lovely at Sunharbor Manor. They had such a caring overall feeling about the place. When I was there, they put a woman with a piano on a wheeling stage and rode her around to the floors where she sang and got the people to sing. The folks had such a good time. They also had a cocktail hour every Friday. They put the drinks into pretty glasses and they served hors d'oeuvres too. There were double rooms and private rooms. Residents were allowed to bring their own furniture and decorate the rooms themselves. But even without decor, the rooms had pretty wallpapers and drapes. The common rooms were decorated in a cozy kind of way. The food was excellent. They served pureed food if needed. Those purees were made colorful and they gave it a more genuine food-like appearance and texture. This facility is really nice but they can improve on their staffing. They're always understaffed.

Sunharbor Manor has been an absolute life-saver for my father! Everyone who works there, from the aides and nurses, all the way up the chain to the administrators, have been nothing but kind, friendly, and accommodating. They truly care about their patients/residents and have no problem going out of their way to help in any way they can. The building is consistently clean and the ambiance is light and bright. I couldn't ask for more from this great place and the wonderful people associated with Sunharbor!

Equality and Diversity Training Course Contents
1. Unacceptable behaviour
This section looks at stereotyping, discrimination and prejudice, victimisation and harassment - behaviour that The Equality Act does NOT allow - behaviour which is not only unacceptable, but which is also against the law.
The Equality Act calls this 'prohibited conduct'.
2. Protected characteristics
We are all different, no one is exactly the same as anyone else. Some of our differences are 'protected characteristics' and are given particular protection by law.
This section looks at these protected characteristics - age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy (See our new and expectant mothers at work course) and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
Each of the characteristics is separated into three parts, firstly describing the characteristic, then information about 'what employers should consider' and finally explaining 'what you can do'. There are also examples of situations where the equality rules have been broken.
Discriminating against people because of any of these 9 characteristics is illegal.
3. The Benefits of Equality and Diversity in The Workplace
This section looks at the benefits of promoting equality and diversity in the workplace, both for the organisation and for the people who work there.
No one wants to face discrimination or harassment at work and this is unlikely to happen in an organisation which proactively supports diversity.
Equality & Diversity Certificate
This Equality and Diversity Training course concludes with a 20 question multiple choice test with a printable certificate. In addition, brief in-course questionnaires guide the user through the sections of the training and are designed to reinforce learning and ensure maximum user engagement throughout.
As well as printable user certificates, training progress and results are all stored centrally in your LMS (Learning Management System) and can be accessed any time to reprint certificates, check and set pass marks and act as proof of a commitment to ongoing legal compliance.
What does my certificate include?
Your Equality & Diversity Training Certificate will include your name, company name (if applicable), name of course taken, pass percentage, date of completion, expiry date and all relevant approvals.
Legislation relating to Equality and Diversity
The Equality and Diversity Act 2010
Equality and Diversity is about acknowledging that everybody has a right to fair and equal treatment, irrespective of age, gender, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic. Originally, workplace legislation surrounding these rights was considered something of a 'grey area'; with around 116 separate laws existing under the broad umbrella of 'equality and diversity'. In October 2010, these were at last merged into one coherent act: The Equality Act 2010.
The Equality Act includes 'Protected Characteristics' which are differences between people which cannot be used as reasons to treat them any differently. Doing this would be against the law.
The Equality Act also includes 'Prohibited Conduct' which are actions that people are not allowed to do to each other on the basis of any of the protected characteristics. This is illegal too.
Protected characteristics include: age; disability; gender reassignment; marriage and civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation.

Day Three kicks off with James Gleick, the man who has written the book of the year, at least if you are a fan of our conference theme. As I wrote in my review of "The Information,"
Gleick's book tells the story of how, over the past five thousand or so years, mankind has managed to create symbols which abstract meaning and intent into forms that are communicable beyond time and space….The work really picks up speed as it describes the rise of early telecommunications, the role of information in mid century warfare, and the birth of both genetic sciences and the computing industry. In the end, Gleick seems to be arguing, it's all bits – and I think most of us in this industry would agree. But I think Gleick's definition of "bit" may differ from ours, and while it may be esoteric, it's there I want to really focus when he visits Web 2 in October.

You can hardly have missed the hubbub over the supposed end of the world coming on Friday, December 21, 2012.
This date is the end of the Mayan calendar, representing the last day of the 13th b'ak'tun. (A b'ak'tun is a period of time equaling approximately 394 years, and 13 of them equal roughly 5,215 years).
It's fairly clear to the majority of scholars that the Mayan calendar ending on this particular date is simply a matter of efficient record keeping. There is no evidence that the Mayans believed that the end of their 13th b'ak'tun would usher in the end of the world.
Instead, it seems that their calendar ending on that date is similar to the Y2K issues of the 90s: software developers had efficiently only provided two spaces for the year date when developing programs in the 20th century, not thinking that the new millennium would be here before they knew it.
The Mayans also probably discounted how quickly December 21, 2012 would get here, so there wasn't much of a reason for them to worry about counting past that date.
For that matter, it's important to remember that even if an ancient civilization "knew" that the world would end on a certain date, there's no reason we should believe them. No matter how advanced any culture has ever gotten, seeing into the future has never been possible.
Despite the cold water of my (and everyone else's) skepticism, there are still individuals who are either convinced that we are facing the end of days or who want to believe in such mystical explanations for our world.
So, in the interest of playing the devil's advocate, I'm going to give some advice for how to handle the end of the world. In particular, here's what you should NOT do:
1. Don't sell everything you own. We have seen this unfortunate occurrence before, wherein believers give away or sell everything that they own in order to be unencumbered at the end of the world. This is worrisome, partially because the world didn't end as promised the last few times it's been predicted, leaving the believers penniless, homeless, without transportation, and with egg on their faces.
On the other hand, even if the Mayans are correct that December 21 will mark the end of the world as we know it, it will probably take at least a few days for whatever cataclysm to reach your particular corner of the world. Everything you own and your life savings will likely come in handy for whatever time you have left. It's hard to keep safe from the zombie apocalypse if you sold the house whose windows you could be boarding up before the dead started walking.
Looking out for yourself after the end of the world needs to start beforehand. Keep your stuff and your money and don't believe every prediction. Maintaining both a healthy skepticism and your net worth will help you handle whatever comes next, even if that's just an uneventful December 22. Never assume you know what tomorrow will bring.
2. Don't stockpile. Yes, the man keeping 1,000 tilapia in the deep end of his suburban swimming pool in Phoenix, Arizona may be laughing all the way to the bank post-apocalypse (no, wait, he won't…). But for right now, he's just got a swimming pool he can't use because it's full of a boring-tasting fish—and I don't even want to think about the additional maintenance he has to do on that swimming pool.
While there is nothing wrong with being prepared for possible catastrophes, you also need to live in the present. Mr. Tilapia may very well be king of the world after 12/21/2012 if food is scarce and he controls a big portion of it. But if nothing happens, he'll just be the guy who filled his pool with fish and really ticked off his HOA. And even if there is a world-wide catastrophe, who is to say that the tilapia would survive and still be edible? (Seriously, wouldn't it make more sense to have 1000 MREs? Just saying.)
It's better to be nimble on your feet so that you can handle the unexpected, rather than expect something specific. If and when the world ends, we have no idea what form it will take, whether it will end in fire, or in ice. It's better to be prepared generally (like by having an emergency fund), and be ready to act when you know what actions you'll have to take. Otherwise, you just waste your time and money (and pool boy budget) before you need to.
3. Don't loot. Every post-apocalyptic story seems to agree on one thing: rules of civilization go out the window the moment something catastrophic occurs. But that doesn't have to happen. We can all agree that humans need each other, especially after the world ends (either figuratively or literally). Looting and theft and trying to better position yourself in the lawless society that will spring up after the end of days will do nothing to really improve your life. No one on their deathbed wishes that they spent more time looting.
And such anti-social behavior doesn't actually improve your odds of survival, either. It only means that you can't trust anyone and you'll always be looking over your shoulder. Deciding to be decent to other people, on the other hand, will help us all to survive. Pooling resources, relying on each other, and indulging in random acts of kindness will not only ensure the survival of the human race after the comet strikes, it is also a good way to live all the time.
The Bottom Line
I've lived long enough to realize that some people seem to think the world is ending about once every decade or so. There were individuals who were sure that January 1, 2000 would mark the end of civilization as we knew it. Various self-proclaimed prophets have predicted the Rapture and other world-ending phenomena over the past few years. And now we have reached the critical year of 2012.
It's clear to me that every such proclamation, no matter how reasonable the thinking behind it may seem, should be met with a healthy dose of skepticism. Remaining unwavering in your commitment to smart choices will see you through the years, whether they are uneventful, or bring the zombie apocalypse.
What are you doing to prepare for the end of the world this week?

I am trying to access a PostgreSQL 7.0 database through JDBC. I get an 'Error connecting to database' message everytime I try to connect. I have setup the network and database to handle JDBC (atleast I think it is) but still the problem persists. I have tried to run the same program from the local machine postgres is running on, and still get the same error. I have edited the pg_hba.conf file to ensure outside network connections can access the database, I have looked at the postmaster.opts file (assuming this is the options for postmaster) and it is using the -i option. I can use pgaccess to view the database, so the database name, username and password work.

Twenty-five years, no hint of any problems, then a rumor pulled the rug out from under him.
"I just spent the morning with that advisor," said Russell Gebhard, president of Sovereign Investment Group in Houston. "He was with a wirehouse, and there was a rumor he was looking around for another firm. The company mentioned a vague violation of policy and he was let go, unceremoniously. They walked him to the door."
Such experiences are old news to Gebhard, who experienced nine different mergers or buyouts with major Wall Street firms during his first 14 years as an advisor.
"I would see people who had given so much to their firm betrayed almost daily," he recalled. "Advisors at those firms have no control over their careers."
In response, Gebhard left the wirehouse world in 2005 to form Sovereign. "I dreamed up an idea," he said. "I envisioned a place that would be the polar opposite of a wirehouse, with respect to culture." That dream apparently was shared. Twenty-three former wirehouse advisors, now independent contractors in Houston and in Corpus Christi, form Sovereign's team of wealth consultants. Those advisors currently manage over $800 million in client assets and Sovereign has become a leading branch of LPL Financial.
"We provide all the tools a broker needs to thrive," Gebhard said. "If the advisor is successful, it's more than likely the clients will be, too."
Moreover, successful Sovereign advisors can reap the fruits of their success. Gebhard said that his advisors might take home two or even three times as much money as they'd earn at a wirehouse, with a similar level of production, due to a leaner company structure at Sovereign.
Thus, some former wirehouse reps have seen Gebhard's dream fulfilled. "At the beginning," he said, "we added a three-person team, two sons and a father who was an industry veteran. The father was ill, and passed away shortly after the move. He was happy he had cajoled his sons to come here, because he didn't want to leave them where they were."
Another advisor was fired from the firm that Gebhard left to start Sovereign. "He was a trainee with a great work ethic," Gebhard said, "who was let go because of a lack of production. It turned out that he did a lot of work for a sales manager there, but the youngster was on the wrong side of a 90-10 split so he had no production to speak of. I told him that I had a home for him, and now he's one of our largest producers."
Such unethical practices won't be found at Sovereign, according to Gebhard. "I used to believe that the firm name on the card or on the door was what counted," he said. "Now I realize it's not about the firm but the people you work with and the relationships they develop."

There is something quite therapeutic about making sets on Polyvore… Maybe it is being able to style outfits that you would love to wear but obviously can't… It's like a new kind of window shopping, apart from most of the clothes you can't get instant access to, which is a good thing definitely, otherwise my bank balance would be in the negative ha. But I would seriously love some of these outfits/love to style these on people.

Acid Wash Overalls - Vintage via Etsy
Creepers - Underground
Nirvana Tee - Ebay & DIY added studs
Bag/Jewellery - Vintage
Apologies for the bright/fuzzy pictures, my camera doesn't seem to like too much sunlight, and I am not the best at editing photographs ha.
I got these overalls (overalls, or dungarees? Who knows…) from Etsy, literally my new favourite item in my wardrobe. Actually a birthday present from my mum, an early one that is - my birthday is on saturday! But I couldn't wait to wear them ha. I said I would update more, but truth is I haven't really been up to things worth taking outfit photos for! Still trying to look for a job, and apart from that i'v just been hanging around with friends not really wearing anything very interesting! I am off to birmingham tomorrow so maybe I will take some more photos then! :) I would take them everyday, truth is i'm a little shy and i'm still trying to get used to seeing myself all over this webpage ha, I love fashion too much not to do it! Don't get me wrong I do enjoy it, hopefully it will wear off soon.
Hope everyone has had a lovely day, it has been super sunny here - hence the title of the post, but mainly named after this song by one of my favourite bands, its amazing and reminds me so much of Cayman. Man I am missing that place. x
P.s. I am going to start putting my DIY items on Etsy on Friday! So keep a look out :)

Jacket, Belt, Necklace - Vintage
White Creepers & Studded necklace worn as a bracelet - Ebay
Dress - H&M
OKKKK I know I am officially the worst blogger in the world!! I am so sorry. But I have just purchased a stand and a remote (which took the photographs above - please let me know whether they are ok?!), so now I have no excuse!! As you can see, there is no beach, or beautiful sunset, as unfortunately I had to come back to England due to problems with my return flight! Sucks so much, I was not ready to come home at all, I found out literally a week before that I couldn't change my flight :(. It has been raining constantly and my hunt for a job is ongoing :(!
Anyway, I know I have completely gone back on my word by purchasing these white creepers from Ebay, but ya know I haven't got that much money to spend on Underground creepers if I wanted a different coloured pair! These are ok though, nowhere near as nice as Underground's - so if you do have the money and want a pair, definitely buy Underground's!! I bought this dress the other day, it only cost me like £6 because my best friend works there and can get 25% off, I thought that was a bit of a bargain!
I have basically been spending my time tie dying and studding t-shirts and jumpers which I intend to sell online within the next week or so. I will be posting soon showing you pictures, I hope you like them!! I will be posting worldwide from Etsy :)
Like I said I now have no excuse! So you will be hearing from me all the time! Have a nice evening everyone! <3

The message they wanted me to share was for people to realize they are being controlled by these deceitful aliens and that there is not one government on earth that is not controlled by them, they have owned earth and used us altering the DNA to keep us unaware and kept us apart from each other through languages, cultures and religions divided so we can never become one in understanding and spiritual growth as a species. They also told me that it was wrong to kill life on the planet like we have been doing with animals. They told me that this is only causing more damage to our spiritual growth by destroying nature and what nature has created. They told me that on their planets they do not eat animals only natural fruits, vegetables and things naturally meant for them. They told me that we are destroying ourselves especially in slaughtering these animals, that the spirit of earth that is alive is punishing us for doing this. They told me everything on the planet is consciously alive and the more murder acts we commit against nature the more consequences that will happen to us.

Security Drones At Eurotunnel As Brexit Could Cause 'Migrant Surge'
27 June 2016, 12:00
New measures are being introduced to prevent an expected surge of illegal migrants attempting to get into Britain from Calais via the Channel Tunnel.
In the wake of last week's vote to leave the European Union Eurotunnel's CEO Jacques Gounon has told Heart that migrants will intensify efforts to cross the border this summer. He claims that Britain leaving the EU would make the borders appear "similar to the Berlin Wall, almost impossible to overcome".
Today a new security drone has been launched to help police in Calais to increase surveillance of illegal migrants trying to break onto the site and help prevent disruption to travel.
Mr Gounon also added that Eurotunnel would not move border controls from France to sites in the UK, because he feels the company has worked efficiently for 25 years and does not need changing.
This comes after the Mayor of Calais Natacha Bouchart called for the Le Tourquet treaty which stops illegal migrants entering the UK via the Channel Tunnel to be reconsidered.
