Hi-Tech Batteries Nigeria Ltd
Bringing the Best Available Technology in lead acid battery recycling and battery production to Nigeria is a win for everyone.
Economically, installing proven and efficient technologies means profitability for the shareholders, job creation and wealth for employees, and a solid tax base for the municipality. Sustainably, scrap batteries now exported to foreign nations will be processed domestically, producing lead to be used for new battery production. Environmentally, organized collection systems ensure hazardous materials are handled with appropriate methods and controls to meet and exceed all current environmental protection standards.
Partnering with Engitec Technologies S.p.A. is partnering with success. Engitec is a world leader in the field of Engineering, Procurement and Construction of process plants for the treatment of non-ferrous scrap, residues and waste materials. Engitec has over 70 years' experience and nearly 60 scrap battery recycling plants installed worldwide. The CX System is the "State of the Art" in clean lead recycling and is recognized internationally as the Best Available Technology (B.A.T.).
The "Green Cycle" approach of this project means new production of batteries for Nigerian cars and trucks and the recycling of spent batteries from all across the country. There will be two plants, working together, to create a Green Cycle loop of lead recycling and production.
The Integrated CX Plant will initially recycle approximately 1,400,000 batteries (50,000 tons/year of lead), and will be expandable to 2,000,000 batteries to accommodate the full annual requirements in Nigeria. It is expected by 2020 that the plant will be expanded to process 10,000,000 batteries to meet Nigeria's expected growth. This first-of-a-kind plant in Nigeria will use the latest technologies and produce the highest quality products while meeting the environmental emissions and workers safety standards imposed by the World Health Organization.

This is the third one of a series of interviews that I have been doing with very inspiring people about the importance and need of proactively seeking awe-inspiring moments in our lives. They also shared what inspires them and how to live a fulfilling life (you can find all the interviews here)
This time I interviewed Lewis Howes, a former pro athlete, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, investor and personal lifestyle consultant.
Without further ado, the interview…
Q. Do you think that 'awe' can be cultivated the same way as gratefulness or happiness?
A. Yes
Q. How are awe-inspiring moments related to being present in the moment?
A. When we are in the zone or are in flow we create awe. Flow only is created when we are living in the present moment.
Q. Where do you get your inspiration from?
A. Everywhere, but mostly from inspiring works of art, and seeing people create magic from a seeming impossible place.
Q. What's the easiest way to live a fulfilling life?
A. Follow your bliss and be of service to others.
Q. What do we need to stop doing in order to live a more fulfilling life?
A. Stop doing things we aren't in love with.
Q. What daily habits/rituals do you recommend to practice appreciation?
A. Meditation, breathing, and doing things that scare you and make you grow.
Q. How can amazement and appreciation impact people and the world?
A. Show others what is possible for them.
Q. What change in the world would make you feel most awe-inspired?
A. Everyone living in a safe home physically and emotionally.
Thank you Lewis for your time and inspiring thoughts.

Members of the Science Club of the Israel Association of Friends of the Weizmann Institute gathered before Rosh Hashana to welcome the Jewish New Year. Participants gathered at the Cinema City complex in Ramat Hasharon for a preview screening of the Israeli movie Past Life.
The Science Club met with Director Avi Nesher, who recounted how the movie came about. After he released his movie Once I Was (2010), about the memory of the Holocaust, he began receiving messages from Holocaust survivors who wanted to share their stories. At that time he wanted to avoid delving too deep into this loaded subject, met with Israeli musician Ella Milch-Sheriff, who wanted him to tell the story of her family. He was most intrigued by her and her sister's unique coming-of-age story in 1970s Israel. "This is the story of women who try to find their way in a very masculine world," he said. "I thought it would be interesting to create a movie about brilliant women who have to struggle for their right of self-expression."
The evening continued with greetings by President of the Weizmann Institute, Prof. Daniel Zajfman, and Chairman of the Israel Friends, Mr. Shimshon Harel, who gave an overview of the activities of the Israeli Friends in the past year.

Update 1.4 - Starting With Suburbs - Suburban City - CBD

Update 1.4 poll.
4 members have voted
Welcome to the other part of Warrence. Before, we saw the ghetto (Update 1.3). But we will now see another side that was transparent from Hampstead. I present to you the small, thriving, suburban CBD. Not many people commute in and out of the CBD though. Most of the people who work in the CBD live in the CBD. They live in Zaidi Living Quarters (ZLQ). These are many tall apartment buildings owned by the government. All office building's are in walking distance from the ZLQ.
We will be visiting the part at the bottom of the mosaic.
One of two ways to leave the CBD. Some people who work in the CBD live in the condos to the left.
This avenue bridge is another way to leave the CBD.
The office buildings. ZLQ in the top of the picture.
The first building in the ZLQ, Zaidi Tower.

What with my angry posts aimed at the Merlin group last week (go back and check out my complaints if you're lost), I haven't had time to talk about my brilliant adventure to North West Germany a couple of weeks ago. As most people will know, I decided to trek the 769-mile round trip from St. Albans to Dortmund because Arsenal were playing what had become a crucial Champions League match. An obvious reason. The Proclaimers once sung "I would walk 500 miles" about my devoted support for the Gunners. We didn't walk obviously but you get my drift. I'd go anywhere to follow the team I love except Turkey or Italy because I don't have a death wish.
The quickest way to Dortmund would be an aeroplane but I didn't want to pay £120 per person for a return flight when the alternative was substantially cheaper (£190 return for the Venga including all passenger's plus two tanks of petrol). Most people wouldn't even consider a ferry from Harwich to the Hook of Holland but I decided that it would be better and make life easier, not least that it would mean less driving for my mum. Seven hours on a boat sounds a lot but when we got off, there was only a three-hour drive to Dortmund whereas it would've been double the drive if we had gone from Dover to Calais.
The only annoying thing is that we had to be at the port at 08.15 on the Tuesday morning so instead of getting up at a ridiculous hour and rushing to catch the ferry, we decided to stay overnight in Ipswich (near Harwich…sort of) and travel a short distance the next day. I know this sounds quite sad but I was actually quite excited for the seven-hour boat trip. I like the fact you can move around and look around the shop whereas a car can feel trapped after a while. Also, the on-board cinema makes the time go by in a flash so the journey length is really not noticeable.
After watching 'Monsters University' and 'We're The Millers' (I'd recommend both), I looked out the window and we had arrived in Holland: the home of Cloggs, Tulips and Windmills. It's also quite famous for Drugs and Prostitutes but I'm a good boy so don't care for them two vices. That's where I'll leave the story for now. Feel free to have a look around the area until I return and continue to share my various exploits as I make my way to Dortmund.
Bye for now!

Currently in IT, have 2 more years before I complete my BA in Marketing. What should I do?
A little background: I worked in retail sales at Best buy, and then Geek Squad, and currently work in IT at a software development company and have for the last 1.5 years. I've done a lot of research, and a lot of thinking, and my passion lies with marketing as opposed to IT/system administration. As such, that's the college career path I've chosen to go.
I have my first two years and my assosicates completed, and will spend the net 2-3 years finishing out my marketing degree from a reputable college. Starting Marketing salary in Houston is about the same as I currently work in IT, so i am not opposed to start looking for entry level Marketing jobs, either.
My question is this: Am I hurting myself by not getting a Marketing job while continuing college, or will having 4-5 years of IT experience by the time I graduate also look good when it comes time to finding a Marketing job?

The state's new teacher merit pay law kicks in this school year and the idea behind it sounds simple: the better students perform, the more teachers can earn.
But in areas such as art, music and physical education, it's raising more questions than answers. The law mandates up to half of a teacher's raise be based on how well students do on standardized tests, but there are no state criteria to evaluate specialty teachers. Districts will have to come up with that this year.
Another complicating factor, says Boynton Beach High School Principal Karen Whetsell, is that a student's FCAT success can't be attributed to just one teacher. "The art teacher, the drama teacher, the music teacher give kids some purpose to come to school…We all work together. How do you evaluate one over the other?"
Teachers hired after July 1 will fall under the merit pay rules; others can opt in or continue being paid based on tenure. Yet even those honored for excellence in their specialties are mixed in their opinions about how fair the new system can be to those following in their footsteps.
At Nova High School, there's little debate about Lisa Miller's success. As the school's forensics adviser, she has helped her students win multiple national championships, including a recent speech and debate tournament in Dallas.
But how the school district will measure her successes, and those of other elective teachers, is the "million-dollar question," said her principal, John LaCasse.
Case in point: Jamaque Newberry won a first-place award and received a $5,000 college scholarship at the Dallas tournament. He had a 1.7 grade-point average his freshman year and was failing English, but he said debate transformed his entire education.

February 14, 2008 09:29 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 14, 2008) - Declining optimism about Ontario's economic outlook among its members, leads "Ontario's Business Advocate" to call on the provincial government to make an economic stimulus package the cornerstone of its 2008 Budget.
"Businesses throughout Ontario, are feeling weathered and beaten by the economic storm that has been buffeting Ontario," says Len Crispino, President & CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC). "They're in urgent need of short term relief, particularly in the manufacturing sector, while the long term health of our economy is dependent upon decisive action taken today to spur economic growth, strengthen our communities and build a 'next generation' workforce."
In a survey of its members representing a cross-section of the province's business community, diverse by location, sector and size, just 16% of respondents anticipate the economy to perform stronger in 2008 while 47% expect it will be weaker.
In a meeting with Finance Minister Dwight Duncan, the OCC has asked the province to embrace a number of key recommendations that include:
- Revamping the tax structure in order to reduce the marginal effective tax burden of capital and labour - currently almost double the average of five of Ontario's peer jurisdictions - by eliminating the small business surtax and reducing corporate tax rates
- Determining the feasibility of a "Made-in-Ontario" harmonized sales tax
- Strengthening Ontario communities by expeditiously uploading social services
- Establishing Canadian content levels for publicly tendered transportation infrastructure projects to support domestic industry and the communities in which they operate
"Employers in every community in this province have made it loud and clear that they're more worried about Ontario's economic performance and their own company prospects than they've been in the last five years. While the government may not be able to directly impact the state of the US economy or the strength of the Canadian dollar, two clear reasons for waning optimism, the government can create an environment that encourages, not penalizes, investment in physical, human and capital resources, and promotes greater trade diversification," explains Crispino.
The OCC member survey was conducted from December 2007 to January 2008, gathered 667 responses from 70 local Chambers of Commerce/Boards of Trade, and is considered accurate 19 times out of 20, with a plus/minus margin of 4.965%.
The OCC represents over 57,000 businesses through 160 local Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade, and has been Ontario's business advocate since 1911. Its advocacy and policy initiatives focus on six areas key to the economic well-being of the province: health; education; energy; finance & taxation; transportation & infrastructure; and border issues.

New Farm is an inner suburb of Brisbane, two kilometres east of the Brisbane CBDon a large bend of the Brisbane River. New Farm is famously known as Brisbane's "Little Italy" as many immigrants from Italian descent first settled in the suburb. This fact has contributed largely to the lifestyle and sophisticated ambience which is New farm today.
They say that position is everything and at Edward Lodge New Farm this could not be more true. We are ideally located if guests wish to go to the CBD. The beautiful smooth ride of the City Cats is an ideal way to get there, only one stop from Sydney Street Wharf. Ask our staff for directions on the 5 minute walk to get there. Another gem is the presence of Merthyr village just around the corner in Brunswick Street. A compact village shopping precinct where you can find some of the best eating places, coffee outlets and wine bars in the whole city of Brisbane and you can walk there! It is for these reasons that we claim Edward Lodge to be THE best positioned boutique hotel in new Farm.
A couple more practical matters about Brunswick Street and MerthyrVillage,you'll find supermarkets, wine shops delicatessens, florists, hairdressers, green grocer, Massage therapists, beauty salons, post office and most major banks all within walking distance of Edward Lodge. We've dropped some selfies of local businesses on this page so you can check them out. If in doubt check with your hosts, they will certainly know where you can find goods and services.
A word about the buses.
Brunswick Street has buses which run frequently into the City of Brisbane. New Farm is very well served by the council bus system. There are 4 individual bus services all coming from and going to The City proper. Services are 195, 196, 197 and 199. Check with our staff for the latest timetables.
The marvellous New Farm Park
One of the true surprises of Brisbane is this riverside open space which covers approximately 18 hectares of land. Thousands of locals and visitors discover its charm very year. So don't fight it, just go with the flowand join the band of new Farm Park denizens on any day of the week. It has many attractions beside its location on the bank of the Brisbane River. There are gardens and open parklands as well as wooded areas and lots of places to sit. There's plenty of room for the kids to let off steam as they kick a football with dad after a Sunday picnic and shaded areas to sit, gaze at the water and just be. . A favourite area for bike riders too, New Farm Park can be almost all things to all people. Check it out while you are staying at Edward Lodge.
And while we are discussing New Farm Park it would be totally remiss not to mention its rather large neighbour now dubbed simply The Powerhouse.
Once the power station for the electric tramway, this building has had a major makeover and now has a second life as an Art Centre and an entertainment precinct. It is in the surrounds of The Powerhouse that visitors will find one of the highlights of Brisbane life – The Saturday Farmers Market held every second Saturday on the Powerhouse Plaza and Performance lawn. An institution of New Farm life, the Farmers Market is rewarding, busy and colourful and ALL ABOUT FOOD!
If its food and edible produce it's almost certainly there, find your favourite artisan and ask about the products on offer, they'll enjoy the discourse, you'll learn some new things and buy some delicious things for a riverside picnic or tonight's gourmet feast. This is something NOT to be missed.
On Yer Bike
Just in case you are staying with us for a few days and suffering withdrawal symptoms, Edward Lodge has some 'house bikes' and helmets available so you can hit the road and go for a ride around the Park or checkout the local real estate. In case everyone else beat you there's good news! The City of Brisbane has a well-developedCity Cycle bike hire scheme. The closest pickup spot is at the corner of Sydney & Brunswick Streets at the entrance to New Farm Park only a few minutes' walk from Edward Lodge.
For the fine print, check City Cycle or call 1300 229 253.
Riding a bicycle is a wonderful pastime while you are visiting Brisbane in general and New Farm in particular. There is a particularly good ride around the area, in fact it can also be a good walk if you really don't want hat hair!
Stop smiling, it's good for you !
New Farm to Teneriffe
This trail is about 6 kilometres return and offers the opportunity to explore the century old New Farm Park (former convict farm and racecourse) as well as The Powerhouse and environs. Now the trail passes Cutters Landing in front of the sugar refinery apartments and then on to Teneriffe.
The ride begins at the Sydney Street Ferry wharf, head straight along the river, and watch for the where the path runs in front of houses and into Merthyr Park. When you get to the Merthyr Bowls Club enter Oxlade Drive then on to New Farm Park – this is where you get to choose the river(highly recommended) the rose garden or the playground. Whatever your choice move on and check out The Powerhouse, it's an arts/entertainment precinct so there's nearly always something happening
Come around the front of The Powerhouse and to enter Cutters Landing and the old CSR Refinery. The boardwalk to Teneriffe is interesting for its maritime history including a World War 2 submarine base. Once you reach the Teneriffe Wharf there's a nearby café which may be welcome right now. . Remember Go Hard or Go Home and the further you ride the more you can eat later!
Remember The Valley!
Edward Lodge is a short cab ride from one of Brisbane's best known nightlife entertainment precincts, music venues, nightclubs, bars and much more.
Brisbane Airport
Gotta Go!
A final tip for when it's time to go to the airport.Fortitude Valley railway station serves all suburban and interurban lines, including Air train to the Brisbane Airport. If you travel light, catch a bus to Fortitude Valley Station otherwise a short cab ride from Edward Lodge to the Station then kick back and relax on the train, by the way, transfer for you and your baggage to the International and Domestic terminals is seamless.

Traditional Bathroom Floor Tiles
Traditional Bathroom Floor Tiles – A bathroom may look great. It is likely pick to make a specific effect or to express yourself together. Bright colours can show personality whereas neutral colors can help to create a room appear larger. Conversly, darker colours may make a room appear smaller.
For a bathroom, you've got to make certain that the tiles you choose for the wall and worktops are resistant to water. Floor tiles will need to get this attribute, and the property of being tough since people will regularly walk on them. Also, with floor tiles, make certain that they are not that smooth because people may slip on them.
Tiles provide the choice of styles and colour. They are available as small or massive tiles. Massive tiles will cover your walls but small tiles will provide a sense of more space. One thing to watch with tiles is that they're vulnerable to sporting because it will not go right through and then the colour will be lost.
You can use quarry tiles but be certain that they're sealed to protect them.
If you are getting a professional in to tile your bathroom, you can leave the tile choice after giving them advice on colour and size, however you'd want to have closing consent before they go.
You are able to make effects with the shade of the grout. Contrasting colours are, whereas a comparable colour provide the effect of a constant surface and will blend in. The choice is yours what look you would like to attempt to achieve.
You will need to make sure that the glue you purchase to repair your tiles is watertight, otherwise your tiles will drop off. Ask the people you are getting your tiles out of if you'd like advice. They will sell glue too anyhow.
It is important to make sure that you don't use grout to seal the gap between the tub and the wall then and since it can crack lose the waterproofing effect. A silicon sealant would be the best option and these are readily available.Whatever bathroom tiles you decide to purchase, be sure they're ones that will match your present and future needs.Tiles can help you create a terrific bathroom – one you'll be delighted to spend some time in.

The incredible heritage park at Sangai Festival
Sangai festival will conclude today. The speedy works for making Imphal city a place of attraction for every tourist visiting the state will now be slowed down again. Reason – there is less money in the state exchequer. It has been reported that around 2.5 crores has been spend for this festival that aims to promote tourism in the state. Even though the state is under serious financial crisis, it is indeed a wise decision for Mr. Okram Ibobi to sanction such a huge amount for promotion of tourism in the state.
Now, as soon as the Sangai festival winds up today, most of the infrastructures built to attract the tourists both domestic and foreign at the Festival venue at Hatta Kangjeibung in Imphal West will be dismantled. Even the flowers planted in the middle of the road will be again lifted and renovation of the road median as well as the Kanglapat is likely to stop. This is being stated so because we have witness the kind of act in the last 2/3 Sangai Festival.
Unlike, yesteryear festival, the State tourism department needs to be appreciated this time. The Sangai Tourism this time is unique this time with the inclusion of many item that were never during the last festival. The Asian theater Festival, The Film Festival, The Sumang Leela, Opening of the World War Museum, Opening of Legal clinic and most importantly the permanent like structures of traditional houses build at the heritage park.
Unfortunate part is that these structures of pride will be dismantled in a few days from now. Imphal Times suggest that let the construction at Heritage Park be left for some times with proper protection.
Most of the constructions are not less than permanent structures and there is no harm an keeping the park for some few more months if possible until next Sangai festival. It can be if proper maintenance is being done be collecting fees from visitors after the Sangai festival. Now all is left to the wisdom of our government especially to our Chief Minister, who deserves credit for the successful conduct of Sangai festival.

text: Lens Heaven (GK214) has a secret that it may or may not reveal. A matt, chrome-coloured strap is stubbled with lens-like bubbles, which upon closer inspection yield scenes of intense colour and hushed elegance reminiscent of hand-painted miniatures. The watch glass is fitted with six magnifying lenses that draw the eye to colourful, everyday objects on the dial. Bright, sleek and subtle by turns, the work's light body and barely-there feeling capture a signature characteristic of Swatch. Boym's understated, impeccable style gives this piece both a light-hearted air and quiet dignity and presence.

We often tend to forget that our hunting equipment is the most crucial thing to have. When it's cold outside, the only thing protecting you is your clothes, your jacket, socks, and most importantly, your boots. That's why you should invest in a good pair of hunting boots to prepare for the next season.
Having hunting boots protects you from the unexpected dangers that can occur. High-end boots keep you safe from mud, snow, and other ailments from reaching your feet. We invite you to read this guide to learn more about the Kamik Men Hunting Boot and why it's a great buy.
The Kamik Men's Hunting Boot has a thick sole which reduces the amount of traction. This helps by keeping the user's feet comfortable on rough terrain surfaces. If you're serious about getting the right footwear protection, you should continue looking at this guide.
Technical Specs:
The Kamik Men's Hunting Boot is great for winter hunting as its liner provides guaranteed warmth, even in the world's coldest climates. It has a removable insulating liner that the user can quickly clean before reusing it again. Buy this boot on Amazon at a price around $59.
We like the boot's size as it's measured in 12in. x 8in. x 4in. This gives the user's feet enough room to move around in without feeling too constrained. Because of this, we recommend this boot for users who want a comfortably sized boot to aid them during their hunting expeditions.
Another thing we noticed is the boot's weather resistance. And, it features a shaft that's 14.25" from the boot's bottom sole. There's no gap around the shaft, which helps protect it from snow, mud, rain, and other debris from getting into the boot. Thus, making the Kamik Men's Hunting Boot a great choice for autumn and winter hunting.
There is a thick Zylex liner that's 8mm thick. As a result, you're able to remain warm even when walking through snowy fields or cold streams. This boot is great for temperatures below -40°C, and it wicks away user perspiration for increased moisture resistance.
You'll also like this boot because of its plush lining. The lining fits the user's feet perfectly, without them feeling the seams. Since the boot has a spacious heel, it allows users to walk freely with only a minimal amount of sliding up and down.
Shoppers also love the boot's fit. The boot's shaft can easily fit the calves, which enhances the boot's security. When wearing the boot, you'll notice your feet becoming easily aligned the boot's shape while protecting you from the cold air that's outside.
On the other hand, consumers had an issue with the boot's outer layer. In some instances, the outer layer can crack which prevents the boot from fully protecting your feet. If this occurs, get a replacement to keep your feet thoroughly insulated.
You're going to need a durable boot for your next hunting trip. And the Kamik's Men Hunting Boot will help you with exactly that with its highly insulated outer covering. Buy this product today if you want a boot that's perfect for winter season hunting.

Camoflague and tough leather boots are the most popular choices. If you're a trying to remain warm during the winter season, you'll want a boot that has leather material. Leather keeps your boot from receiving too much air and protects your feet from frostbite exposure.
For environments with a high concentration of water, rubber boots are the best option. Due to their rubber material, they'll absorb the water and keep it away from the user's feet. No matter what material you choose, make sure that is of high quality to prevent the need for constant repairs.
Waterproofing is a necessary quality for hunting boots. This is true especially if you're planning on hunting during the day when there's a lot of moisture and dew build up on the ground.
No one wants to have cold feet during the beginning of their hunting adventure or throughout the hunting trip's entire duration. So, your hunting boots should consist of a membrane that prevents outside moisture from getting into the interior of your boot.

Cervical cancer develops on the cervix which is the lower part of the uterus. This is why cervical cancer is a girl thing. Cervical cancer is caused by HPV but not all types of HPV cause cervical cancer. It is important for females to have a regular Pap test in order to find this type of cancer early. A Pap test can find changes in cervical cells before they turn into cancer which is the best way to prevent this type of cancer.
Cervical cancer begins in the lining of the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb). The uterus has two parts. The upper part, called the body of the uterus, is where the fetus grows. The cervix, in the lower part, connects the body of the uterus to the vagina, or birth canal. Cancer of the cervix does not form suddenly. First, some cells begin to change from normal to pre-cancer and later to cancer. This can take a number of years, although sometimes it happens more quickly. Having certain risk factors can sometimes speed the progression from pre-cancer to cancer. For many women, low-grade precancerous changes may go away without any treatment. Persistent pre-cancerous changes may need to be treated to keep them from becoming true cancers. There are two main types of cancer of the cervix. About 85-90 percent are squamous cell carcinomas. The other 10-15 percent are adenocarcinomas. If the cancer has features of both types it is called mixed (or adenosquamous) carcinoma. There are also a few other rare types of cancer of the cervix. Cervical cancer used to be one of the most common causes of cancer death for American women. Between 1975 and 2007 the number of deaths from cervical cancer decreased dramatically, with mortality rates in 2007 at less than half of what they were in 1975. The main reason for this change is the use of the Pap test to find cervical cancer early. Cervical cancer is the thirteenth most common cancer in U.S. women. A woman in the U.S. has approximately a 1 in 145 chance of being diagnosed with cervical cancer in her lifetime. It is expected that there will be 12,200 new cases of cervical cancer diagnosed in the U.S. in 2010, and that 4,210 women will die from the disease.
Cervical cancer can usually be found early by having regular Pap tests. During a Pap test, a doctor or clinician collects cells from the cervix, which are then placed on a slide or in a liquid filled container and sent to a laboratory for testing. With regular Pap tests and appropriate follow-up care (if needed), death from cervical cancer is almost completely preventable. The American Cancer Society recommends the following guidelines for receiving Pap tests:
Symptoms usually appear only when the cancer is more advanced. It is important to report any of the following to a health professional:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is estimated to be the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S., and can affect both men and women. There are more than 100 types of HPV (generally referred to by number, e.g. HPV-16), and they can infect various parts of the body including, most commonly, the genitals, but also the mouth and throat. Over 40 types of HPV can affect the genitals alone. Not all people infected with HPV will show symptoms (in fact, most people won't display any signs of infection), and for many, the infection will clear on its own with help from the body's immune system. About 70 percent of cervical cancers that develop are a result of infection with HPV-16 or HPV-18. With regular screening via Pap tests, however, cervical abnormalities usually can be detected and treated before they progress to cancer. Early cervical pre-cancers or cancers often have no signs or symptoms. That's why it's important for women to have regular Pap tests.

The LATCH Difference
Better Latch
A correct latch is achieved when mums nipple reaches all the way back to baby's soft palate. The accordion-style teat on the LATCH™ bottle stretches like the breast, helping baby latch easily & correctly.
Like the Breast
When breastfeeding, baby controls the flow of milk by applying pressure to the base of mum's nipple. The LATCH™ bottle mimics mum by releasing more milk as baby pushes against the teat base.
Less Colic
While feeding, the accordion-style teat flexes as baby moves her head. This allows baby to maintain her latch, decreasing ingestion of air & risk of colic.
Anti-Colic Valve
The one-way, anti-colic valve located at the bottom of the LATCH™ bottle allows for milk to flow while ensuring air bubbles do not travel through.

Finding an accurate portrayal of concussions in the media can be difficult.
Action movies and T.V. shows have a dangerous tendency to downplay the
severity of this injury. Make no mistake, a concussion is a serious brain
injury and securing medical treatment should be a victim's top priority.
Concussions occur as a result of the brain slamming against the inside
of the skull hard enough to disrupt normal brain functions. Below, our
blog outlines four things you need to know about these injuries.
If you have been injured in an accident resulting in a
catastrophic injury such as a concussion, you may be able to fight for monetary compensation. Our
San Jose brain injury attorneys possess more than 100 years of collective experience and have secured
millions of dollars for clients. We know what you are going through and
can help you understand your legal options.

With the rebel princess napping, I thought I would take a minute to post my resolutions, goals, hopes, etc for the upcoming year! They are simple, and probably are the same as the majority of people, but it's still important for me to write them out and send those thoughts out into the Universe!
- Create a daily home yoga practice. I struggle with filling up my "free time" with things other then scrolling through my Facebook feed or pinning wonderful things on Pinterest. This year, I want to dedicate at least 30 minutes every day to a home yoga practice. Whether it's physical or only meditation.
- Have more patience. This in particular as we are approaching our first year with a budding toddler :)
- Be a better yoga teacher. You are always the student in yoga (and in life). There is always much more to learn, more to discover. My goal is to trust myself as a yoga teacher, and trust in my ability to lead my students into a wonderful place the hour + that they are with me.
- Budget better. Growing up, any free money we had was usually spent right away on fun things. I still have the mentality and I know it stresses my husband out. I got our food budget finally under control, now with me working and earning extra money, I need to get my personal budget under control.
- Pay more on my student loans. Speaking of money, in February of this year I will start paying the loan for my YTT program. It is only S96/month, but my goal will always be to pay more on it. Whether it is only a few dollars more, or a hundred more.
- Be less attached. Including (but not limited to): electronics, expectations, material, and monetary.
- Become a doula. This is so important to me and I am not sure if it will be feasible this year,but I sure will try!
- Finally, and perhaps the most important one, start planning our conscious conception. The hubby and I have talked a lot about when we want another baby. We don't want there to be too big of an age gap between our children, but we understand the importance of letting our bodies and our budget get to a healthier point where we will be ready for another child. The earliest we will start trying to get pregnant will be at the end of 2015, but I want this to be my healthiest year yet, and Joe's too. Conscious conception is a process in where you get rid of the toxins in your body and life, and replace them with only good, healthy, wonderful things (think food, relationships, etc) as you prepare to have another child. It's like a 9 month+ journey, just to prepare to be your best self and give your baby the best while it's in your womb.

Paige will not be charged in her domestic dispute with Alberto El Patron at the Orlando International Airport on July 9th, according to a new report from TMZ.
As noted, Alberto will not be charged either. Alberto was suspended by GFW days after the incident was made public. While Alberto was dropped as a suspect, GFW still stripped him of the GFW World Heavyweight Championship following their internal investigation. While there has been no official statement on his status with the company, Alberto currently does not appear on their active roster section.

Black Hawk Down is possibly not many people's first choice for a Ridley Scott retrospective – Alien or Blade Runner might have been the first to come to mind. So why choose it? Firstly, it is maybe the first movie that uses the style of cinéma vérité to portray a recent war, which has been replicated by so many movies since. Secondly, it's a very exciting movie with a fascinating cast of people you wouldn't expect. Lastly it has a really strong sense of military accuracy (the bane of war movies) from radio chatter to gear – it has the authenticity that many similar films lack.
Let's add a little context to this movie. Black Hawk Down is set during the American peacekeeping efforts in Somalia in 1993, which were famous for the incompetence and general shambolic efforts by all. This operation was very controversial as it was an absolute mess up in regards to its planning, ignoring many aspects basic to the success of Special Forces. It was a very complex plan reliant on lots of scattered light forces without suitable back up, constrained by politics and run under a very dodgy command. The events still hold rancour today because of the accusations and scandals relating to the peacekeeping operation.
Like Band of Brothers, Hurt Locker and pretty much any war movie since (with exceptions), Black Hawk Down shows the importance of characterisation between ranks, particularly placing an emphasis on the rivalry between Delta Force and the United States Rangers. The film introduces you to the major figures, showing the various different groups involved in the Special Forces and the three branches of the military (army, airforce, navy).
Todd Blackburn is played by a young Orlando Bloom, keen to go into action. We also meet the cynical Sergeant Norm "Hoot" Gibson (Eric Bana), the idealist Staff Sergeant Matt Eversmann (Josh Hartnett), there's the desk jockey who wants action, John "Grimesey" Grimes played by Ewan McGregor and the comedian SPC Lance Twombly surprisingly played by Tom Hardy (if you look hard you can also spot Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Ioan Gruffudd, Jason Isaacs). This cast gives the film real depth and an opportunity to show the old adage that war is 90% crushing boredom and 10% fear, even for the elite forces who get significantly more action. Grimes has a particularly interesting arc as he is initially treated like a child being told what to do and gradually proves himself whilst his constant torrent of swearing adds a nice bit authenticity to the proceedings. The way it is filmed was very innovative, featuring a large amount of jump cuts and steady cam usage. The only issue I have is that it's very overused these days with so many movies using the steady cam cinéma vérité approach to filming, which when done well can really bring you into the action but done badly it can be disorientating and confusing.
The are many aspects to getting military authenticity correct as it's more than just having the right outfit – it's more important that the other basics are done well such as the proper usage of formation and radio commands. The movie does this well as there are two faces to the battle. One is the calm, clear radio informing clearly and simply what's happening and the other is the hurried orders shouted to squads and individual soldiers who are flagging, fearful, injured, dying. This is done very well as every major skirmish is brought back both the to the command helicopter and also to the base. One particularly effective way this is conveyed is through a long pan shot from the perspective of the soldiers on the ground and up to an airborne view when the colour is then lost and a grid is added, bringing you back to the base.
This is one of those forgotten war movies for no great reason and its pioneering style has been copied to death since. Despite featuring a largely English cast doing their best American accents, it's also framed in a very patriotic style but with enough of the war and its unpleasant ambiguities to keep things interesting, as the soldiers aren't entirely sure why they are there. A movie that's well worth another look.

The Second Migration
In springtime, we cheer on our Connecticut River migrating fish including salmon, shad, American eel, sea lamprey, shortnose sturgeon, and blue back herring. They are all on our idols list. Some of us go to viewing windows at the fish ladders and we read newspaper or magazines articles about the spring migration. We celebrate or bemoan the numbers reported in those stories. Spring migration is the aquatic equivalent of maple sugaring, both signaling the earth's annual reawakening from winter.
The problem is that those springtime events are only half the story and somehow, we do not in equal measure pay attention to the important fall migrations out of our river into the salt water and most are unaware that many of our purely fresh water fish now embark on their migrations to upstream spawning locations.
Here are some brief thumbnails about the species that use our Connecticut River aquatic highway to migrate down river to salt water every fall.
Thousands upon thousands of 3-4-inch American shad juveniles spawned in the spring head out to the ocean and spend 4-5 years maturing into adults while repeat spawners await the next spring freshet that signals them to return to the river to spawn again.
Like the shad, Blueback herring and alewife juveniles born in the watershed head out to sea to reach maturity before they return to their natal headwater streams.
American eel adults that have spent 20 years maturing upriver head out to sea for their 1,000-mile perilous swim to spawning grounds in the Sargasso Sea found south beyond Bermuda. These 3-4 foot long adults have never migrated there before and little is known of how the springtime returning glass eels find the river where they will grow since they have never been there either, yet find it they do.
Mud dwelling Sea Lamprey juveniles are five-inch-long diatom and detritus eating worm like larva. After five to 10 years as larvae they become transformers migrating down the river and to the sea to reach maturity in salt water. They hopscotch from muddy bottom to muddy bottom until they transform into a swimming fish. Lamprey do not attack other fish until they reach salt water and to complete the story, once they reenter fresh water they do not feed at all. This is the case in a true fresh to salt and back to fresh water migratory run as in our CT River.
Atlantic salmon adults migrate to the sea in fall after spawning with some adult fish if they are in a natural setting holding over staying in place until the following spring. This is a small migration now that the Salmon Restoration Program is in hiatus.
The river's Shortnose sturgeon with its territory separated into two parts, one above and one below Holyoke Dam, do not go to the sea, but migrate both up and downriver to wintering grounds. Those below the dam move to the estuary area while the upriver population moves up toward the Turner Falls dam.
There are fish in the lower reaches not found up river in VT and NH that are also part of this fall migration. They are sea run trout and the ubiquitous striped bass where both adults and juveniles move down river to wintering grounds in the estuary and Long Island Sound.
These migrations are all affected by the hydroelectric dams. As relicensing now underway moves forward, more efficient and less threatening means of moving these fish past the dams alive and undamaged are part of the ongoing negotiations. It is important to note that when the dams were first licensed we knew little of what is needed for safe passage and quite honestly, as a society we did not care about safe passage either. Times have changed over the ensuing half century and we hope those earlier unenlightened times will never come back.
The species that use the salt water as part of their life cycle are the long trip travelers of the fish world but even fresh water fish migrate just as predictably just not as far.
Fresh water brook and brown trout are fall spawners and their preferred spawning locations usually lie in upriver reaches in small streams. These locations offer the proper flow of water, the proper gravel bottom into which to dig their redd/nest that will hold the eggs in place overwinter and offer the juveniles hiding crevasses within the gravel until they can swim efficiently.
Once the juveniles are mature enough they will migrate to rearing areas with better food sources and larger habitats downstream. Biologists have tracked migrating fresh water trout as far as 26 miles from rearing to spawning locations. Obviously, a dam or perched culvert along the way places impassable barriers in the way of this migration. We are just starting to pay attention to this problem with landowners, NGOs, municipalities and states beginning to remove useless deadbeat dams to open these fresh water back roads for successful migrations.
So, there may be less ballyhoo for the fall migration and there are no viewing windows for it and few stories about it but it is the vital second half of nature's cycle of aquatic life. So, let's give a hip, hip, hurrah for the fall migrations.
The -Almost- End of
Legislative Session Report
Veni, Vidi, Veto
At the Boston Marathon several years ago a woman in running garb, named Rosie Ruiz, snuck out of the sideline of onlookers a few miles from the finish line. She was ahead of any other woman in the pack and finished the race, with arms raised, as the winner. A short time later, an easy investigation confirmed that she was an imposter who jumped in at the last minute.
That's the best I can do to describe the Governor's action on the Budget this year.
With the Legislative session almost over the Governor once again brought forth a last minute plan to "supposedly " save $33m M in a $5.5 Billion dollar budget. Rightfully so Democrats are saying, "not so fast," especially when it comes to the "fuzzy math" in his proposal.
While the Governor has been sitting out most of this Legislative session (except for the Gun Safety bills), Democrats have been busy trying hard all session to off-set the chaos coming from Washington and Vermont.
As the White House increased the income gap between highest earners and everyone else, in Vermont we strove to build an economy that works for all, not just the wealthy few. The Legislature passed an increase to the Minimum Wage, Paid Family Leave and eliminating the tax for Social Security recipients who make less than $60k/ year. Democrats worked for an environment that addresses the global challenge of global warming. We passed a bill to address systemic racism in Vermont. And, we recognized our schools for doing great work for our kids - saying our schools don't deserve to be the Governor's scapegoat for blaming high taxes on.
More so, we trusted our local communities to make school decisions that are right for them, balancing fiscal responsibility with a quality education for our children. And, when they brought budgets in lower that than suggested by the Governor we said, good job.
The Governor's reaction? Not good enough, as he tried to move the finish line after schools crossed the one established earlier.
Now, the Governor wants to dictate to local school boards a Forced Student -Ratio plan on all schools, even though there is no evidence to support the numbers the Administration is insisting upon. Bottom line is, this is as bad an idea as the Governor's private prison plan that we rejected.
We worked time after time to have a partner in Government, but time after time the Governor declined. Here's just a few bills we passed and the Governor's response:
Protecting children from Chemicals in consumer products.
Protecting families from falling further behind by increasing the minimum wage.
Protecting families from lost work or wages because of a sick child or parent.
Providing appropriations for running of Government.
The list is longer, but I think you get the point. Veni, Vidi , Veto is not a governance plan. It IS a formula for destroying government - which seems to be mirroring the chaos that's coming out of the White House.
We will keep trying to work together, but it seems more and more like the policies we are seeing in Washington that cause concern are showing up in Vermont. That's not the way to run a government that people depend on to provide basics like roads, bridges, schools, and health care.
Vermonters deserve better. It's our quality of life that defines Vermont, and putting people first is how we'll maintain that quality of life.People over profit. People before Politics. People first.
There's more work to do, and Democrats will keep pushing to move Vermont ahead.
We want to keep our quality of life in Vermont, and move into a better future for us and generations to come; building a strong , healthy Vermont.

Public safety is our first priority as public
And, our children-and their parents- need to feel free from fear of going to school.
We've just passed some common sense firearms legislation that brings Vermont laws into the 21st century.
The debate continues, though as to whether they pass constitutional muster, especially in regards to the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution. (I will also note that the Vermont Constitution also grants the right to bear arms. However, case law has consistently stated supremacy of the US Constitution over state constitutions. Also, McDonald v City of Chicago, reinforced that Federal Laws also apply to state and local governments)The debate will likely continue on, and here's a contribution to the debate that was published earlier in April by the Brattleboro Reformer.
The conservative case for
well-regulated firearms
Posted Sunday, April 1, 2018 8:06 pm Brattleboro Reformer
By Mike Mrowicki
The debates on whether to regulate firearms are proceeding, nationally
and in-state. And, it appears the best case for the Constitutionality of
"well-regulated" measures to help prevent Gun Violence, arises from
the words of none other than arch-conservative Supreme Court Justice, Antonin
Scalia was, arguably, one of the most conservative Supreme Court Justices to sit on the US Supreme Court. Yet, within his writing of the majority opinion in the landmark 2nd Amendment Case, Heller v. District of Columbia (2008), he opens the door, and sets the framework for the well-regulated Laws we are working on in Vermont. This case, along with McDonald v. City of Chicago, definitively affirm the 2nd Amendment right to own a firearm for the purpose of self-defense. (McDonald v. City of Chicago also affirmed that the 2nd Amendment also applies to state and local, as well as federal government).
In Scalia's majority opinion of Heller v. D.C., he also wrote that the Second Amendment did not confer a "right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."
In Scalia's majority
opinion of Heller v. D.C., he also wrote that the Second Amendment did not
confer a "right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner
whatsoever and for whatever purpose."
His opinion went on to affirm government's right to regulate firearms, including: Banning dangerous and unusual weapons (the military M-16 was an example); prohibiting firearm possession by felons and the mentally ill; forbidding firearm possession in sensitive areas such as schools and government buildings; and imposing conditions on the commercial sales of firearms.
This is the Constitutional framework Vermont legislators are using to craft well-regulated firearms legislation.
We have a problem in Vermont. We are no longer the safest state in the U.S. Vermont isn't even the safest state in New England, in regards to gun violence. You're now more likely to get shot in Vermont than Connecticut, where they've enacted stronger gun violence prevention laws. And, in cases of domestic violence, that likelihood is even greater, as we were all reminded by the most recent domestic violence killing of a mom in front of her child, in South Royalton earlier this month.
Well-regulated, common sense measures can help to reduce gun violence. That's why, following the Constitutional leading of Justice Scalia on the Second Amendment, I'm voting for "well-regulated" laws in helping reduce gun violence in Vermont.

Breaking The Cycle of Childhood Trauma
by Rep. Mike Mrowicki
Windham 4 District
Ken Burns' latest historical video narrative, "The Vietnam War," reminds many of us of that historical era, the French and U.S. actions, and the proof of philosopher and essayist George Santayana's words, "Those without a sense of history are doomed to repeat it."
The documentary also reminds us of the systemic and righteous mendacity of U.S. leadership, oblivious to the huge ripples of suffering it was inflicting on peoples across the world. Suffering that continues today.
And, for what?
Even today, as a culture, we seem oblivious to the ravages of war's effects, and also oblivious to how trauma keeps on ravaging those afflicted.
The fact that we ignore trauma as a root cause to many of the societal ills we face in our world, despite a growing body of research, also proves Santayana's words. We continue to see rises in generational poverty, children with special education needs, addiction, mental health care needs, incarceration, chronic health challenges, and homelessness. And, in all too many cases, untreated trauma is at the root.
Twenty years ago, when the first research paper on the topic was published, it affirmed what many who worked in the field knew: that childhood trauma was prevalent and had real effects.
Now, mindful of a growing body of research that has taken place in the meantime, Vermont legislators and policymakers in Montpelier are seeking to better inform their fellow legislators and the general public as to the prevalence and effects of childhood trauma.
Trauma effects spin like a snowball rolling downhill, keeping people trapped in poverty. The behaviors that result from that trauma lead to chronic psycho-social and health problems and, often, to early death. This cycle is accompanied by huge human suffering and astronomical monetary costs.
Pretty bleak stuff, on one hand. On the other hand? The hope that anything we shine light on starts the process of change for the better.
Despite the good work that is helping, the societal problems we face now need societal solutions — and that means a cultural shift.
The Vermont Agency of Human Services has started formulating a plan to look at adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as a public-health problem in the same comprehensive way that smoking was addressed 50 years ago.
At the time, 52 percent of people in the United States smoked, but an effort across the board emerged to challenge the status quo and, in turn, led to the measures to cut smoking rates. Currently, about 18 percent of people in this country smoke, and those numbers continue to decline.
The Act 43/ACEs Childhood Trauma Legislative Working Group — convened around the legislation ("An act relating to building resilience for individuals experiencing adverse childhood experiences") that went into effect on July 1 — has been holding hearings to pull together a picture defining the problem.
We're looking at best practices in addressing childhood trauma and, mostly, better informing legislators and the general public as to the prevalence and widespread, long-lasting manifestations of childhood trauma.
Alongside that though, we are asking the tough questions about evaluation and outcomes: What works, or doesn't?
Obviously, if all the services we offered were as effective as we'd hope, the populations of the homeless, special ed, addiction/mental health, chronic health care, etc. would not still be rising.
We need to make sure monies we're spending are being used wisely, and identify the holes in a system that need filling, if we want to stem the flow of those needing such a wide array of services because of what happened to them as a child.
We hope the testimony being heard will contribute to the body of work, help us build support for more comprehensively addressing this root cause of so many societal ills, and help put Santayana's prophecy to rest.
We can learn from our history. We can stop the cycle of trauma that feeds those other negative behavior cycles.
We hope to add another way of looking at our world today: that things are not getting worse, but more is being revealed.
And that we would do well to hold on to one another and instead of being in denial of harsh realities, continue pulling back the veil together, and shining the light of hope.

Councilmember Huizar worked with LADOT to secure Safe Routes to Schools funding near two elementary schools in Boyle Heights
Councilmember José Huizar joins the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) in announcing that Boyle Heights was awarded $5 million in Safe Routes to Schools funding to add safety street improvements around Breed and Sheridan Streets Elementary Schools.
The funding was secured by LADOT, in partnership with Councilmember Huizar, through the state's Active Transportation Program. A community Open House meeting took place on Wednesday at the Boyle Heights City Hall with more to follow.
The project area is Soto to St. Louis streets and, at its longest point, Wabash to 8th streets along Soto. "The Safe Routes to School: Neighborhood Safety Improvement Project" will create a network of "Neighborhood-friendly streets" to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists in the neighborhood of Sheridan and Breed Streets Elementary Schools. Improvements include curb extensions, continental crosswalks, speed humps, bike lanes and a road diet.
"Protecting our children is every parent's biggest priority and these upgrades will help bring profound safety improvements to students and families in our community," said Councilmember Huizar. "I'm proud to partner with LADOT on this much-needed project."
"Keeping students safe on their way to school calls on us to constantly improve our streets. We are proud to partner with Councilmember Huizar and the students, teachers, and neighbors in Boyle Heights on these investments" said Seleta Reynolds, LADOT General Manager.
Construction is expected to begin in 2017.
As part of the Safe Routes to School Strategic Plan, LADOT, with assistance from LAUSD, developed a methodology for prioritizing nearly 500 schools within the City of Los Angeles with a focus on the Top 50. Breed and Sheridan Streets elementary schools scored among the Top 40 for those with the most need.
These Council District 14 improvements join a growing list of upgrades, including several others recently announced in Boyle Heights, such as:
After hearing from local groups Proyecto Pastoral and the Pico Gardens Resident Advisory Council in Boyle Heights, Councilmember Huizar recently announced he worked with City departments to find funding for two projects: $5 million was secured in ATP Cycle 2 funding to improve the sidewalks and add pedestrian lighting between Pico Gardens' housing and the new 6th Street Bridge East Park. Additionally, a new signal will be installed at 4th Street and Clarence Street.
Huizar has also allocated $1 million to fund sidewalk repairs along Whittier Boulevard.
The $5 million in ATP Cycle 2 funds comes on the heels of the $2.55 million secured for Boyle Heights in ATP Cycle 1 last year. That funding will be used to build new sidewalks and bicycle space along Mission Road between the 6th Street Bridge and 7th Street. This will be built in conjunction with a new roundabout that will facilitate better traffic flow for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. The Boyle Heights ATP Cycle 1 is in design and construction is anticipated to start in early 2017.
And in Boyle Heights, a community organization (Proyecto Pastoral) conducted its own traffic study to work with Councilmember Huizar and City departments to effect change. In January, a new traffic light was added to 4th Street and Pecan Street after the youth from the Boyle Heights Technical Center conducted a study and shared the results with Huizar, LADOT and BOE who prioritized the intersection for improvements.
Complete Street improvements have been a staple of Councilmember Huizar's vision for Council District 14. Previous and current complete street projects include the York Boulevard Vision Plan, Huntington Drive Vision Plan, Eastside Access Project on First Street in Boyle Heights, and the Bringing Back Broadway initiative in Downtown Los Angeles.

So your given a diagnosis of ADHD or ADD or any other variant, your sent home with a box of medication, and told you'll be sent an appointment for a review in 6 months……WHAT NOW???
Well first of you'll be exhausted from managing your child's symptoms, having regular appointment's, assessments, trips to the hospital's and you'll be feeling pretty crap. You'll also be feeling like a complete and utter failure as a parent all the while trying to keep your child from imploding, your relationship and family life on the straight and narrow and did I mention wondering what the hell you do now?
For me I went on auto pilot, I did what needed to be done at home, I tried to be there as a wife and a mother, I tried to hold down a job but I ended up letting some of the balls drop.
- I took my children to their appointments, I cared for them, loved them no matter what but felt annoyed at times, lost my temper with them and was stressed out
- My husband and I drifted apart, I would take all my anger and frustration out on him, we shouted and argued and he eventually went and found someone else that would give him time
- I took myself away from family and friends while I tried to deal with the symptom's and the ever increasing feeling of guilt about medication my daughter worried about what they would think and feel
- I gave up work, being able to talk to other adults about grown up non Homelife topics
What I want every parent out there to know is that there is no shame in dropping a ball!!! Any parent who has children can at times feel stressed out, unhappy about their lives and the way that having children can feel like the very life is being sucked out of you. Thats normal, and its especially normal to feel that way when we have disabled children. To many parent's do not give themselves a break, we deal with so much when caring for a disabled child no matter what the diagnosis is. Some parent's I know go through so much more than I do and I am in such awe of them that it gives me the strength to do my best for my own children.
Living with hearing loss is annoying when you can't hear yourself think, it gives you a sore throat shouting louder than normal so they know I am angry, its fiddly trying to replace small part's on hearing aids and when the kids are younger I could have had a dozen heart attacks thinking they had swallowed batteries but its manageable. We learn and adapt just like our children learn to adapt to a world where one sense isn't working like it should.
Living with ADHD is harder. Its an invisible diagnosis which to many people still see as just a naughty child or down to bad parenting. Trust me when you have had a bad day anyway and someone suggest's your parenting skills may be whats wrong…you do not want to be near me. The grown up thing to do would be to say "ok its my parenting so why does only one child out of four have the symptoms" my childish side just wants to bop them on the noise…. and another horrible word that has been associated with my child….spoilt!! spoilt my arse, I do not spoil my children and I hate that even in todays society people still can not accept that ADHD exist's. Hello its been documented since the 1700's!!!
So here's a little checklist from me to you
- Give yourself a break, take Time to digest the diagnosis
- talk to somebody either a professional or someone that is in the same boat as you, swap tips and advice
- research – there are some really good websites/groups and forum's about with people in the same place as you
- don't cut out family and friends – you really will learn the power of friendship and know the love of family when you have a child diagnosed, they need you as much as you need them, talk, ask for help or even just a hug

Climate Action Tracker (CAT) has assessed 15 of the 29 INDCs submitted to the UNFCCC so far, accounting for almost 65% of global emissions, and has identified a large emission gap. The climate targets collectively lead to global emissions far beyond levels required to hold warming to below 2°C. CAT has also found that current climate policies are insufficient to limit emissions even to be in line with the already inadequate INDCs.
Ahead of the upcoming G7 meeting in Germany, the Climate Action Tracker analyses the combined INDCs of all G7 governments and the EU and finds that the combined climate plans for the G7 and EU have made a small step towards the right track to hold warming to 2°C, but there is still a substantial emissions gap.
The UN Environment Emissions Gap Report 2017 presents an assessment of current national mitigation efforts and the ambitions countries have presented in their Nationally Determined Contributions, which form the foundation of the Paris Agreement.
The emissions gap in 2020 is the difference between emission levels in 2020 consistent with meeting climate targets, and levels expected in that year if country pledges and commitments are met. As it becomes less and less likely that the emissions gap will be closed by 2020, the world will have to rely on more difficult, costlier and riskier means after 2020 of keeping global average temperature increase below 2°C. If the emissions gap is not closed, or significantly narrowed, by 2020, the door to many options limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C at the end of this century will be closed.
This report shows that the estimated emissions gap in 2020 for a "likely" chance of staying below the 2°C target is large, but it is still technically possible to close this gap through concerted and rapid action.
There have been an increasing number of statements from some in the scientific community and other commentators that meeting the 2°C warming goal is now beyond reach.
