text: Kobane's Kurds have no intention of fading away from the scene, writes Xulam [Getty]"Let everyone know that we will resist to our last drop of blood together with the Kurdish youth who have come [to us] from the four sides of Kurdistan. If necessary, we will repeat the [example] of Stalingrad … in Kobane." These were the words of Polat Can, spokesperson for the Kurdish People's Protection Unit (YPG) and a commander in the ongoing battle against ISIL fighters in the northern Syrian town of Kobane. As these lines are written, the Kurdish resistance is still holding on, and with a little bit of help from Turkey, the Kurdish-majority town might be able to repeat the heroic example of the Russian city in World War II. So far, however, Turkish help has been sporadic and half-hearted. US President Barack Obama solemnly promised to "degrade and destroy" ISIL. Instead, he has allowed the extremist group to "degrade and destroy" Kurdish self-rule in Kobane. The promised US assistance has been too little too late - pinprick bombings instead of pulverising missions to halt ISIL's advance. If anything, it has stirred up a hornet's nest rather than destroy the group. Kurds in Kobane feel betrayed. They've fought valiantly to help the US destroy ISIL. Did they not rush in from the mountains of Kandil in August, as ISIL fighters tried to conquer the Iraqi Kurdish regional capital, Erbil? The result: ISIL fighters retreated and abandoned the districts of Makhmur and Gwer, as well as the strategic Mosul Dam. Now, when embattled Kurds need help, having been pounded for weeks in Kobane and with ISIL's black flag dominating the skyline on Mistenur hill, a stone's throw from the city, they haven't received it. Political correctness Indeed, political correctness appears to salute ISIL's black flag. US-led coalition forces refuse to coordinate their attacks with the Kurds, despite repeated requests, lest they rattle the regional bigots who masquerade as practitioners of realpolitik. Kurds warn Turkey over inaction in Kobane These fair-weather friends appear to want to see ISIL fighters crush the Kurdish resistance as a favour to Ankara. With friends like these, freedom needs no enemies. Kurds must mournfully ask: Is this indecisiveness now the official policy of coalition forces as well? The international community has tolerated the atrocities of Middle Eastern dictators for years under the pretext of respecting the sovereignty of states - nevermind that these tyrants were ruthlessly raining bullets or poisonous gas on innocent civilians, as Saddam Hussein did on the Kurds of Halabja in 1988 and Assad senior did to protesters in Hama in 1982. Today, these states have become the incubator of ISIL, whose tentacles stretch far beyond the region. And Kurds, as always, are tragically trapped in the middle. Syrian Kurds tried to help the forces of freedom during the "Arab Spring" by declaring autonomy from Damascus over three northern Syrian regions with Kurdish majority populations. They drafted a constitution and held free and fair elections. This experiment in self-rule naturally caused consternation in Ankara, which has tried to undermine it ever since. In Turkey, where nearly half of the world's Kurdish population lives, the Kurds took to the streets and demanded an immediate halt to what they claim are Ankara's deceitful dealings with ISIL. Turkish police responded with brutal violence - killing 31 protesters and declaring martial law in six cities. This is what Bashar al-Assad did in Syria and Hosni Mubarak did in Egypt. Yet Turkey still shamelessly peddles the same old lie that it is a country of laws and Kurds have as much rights as Turks do. Are the Kurds - the most dependable fighters against ISIL - to now be sacrificed upon the altar of political expediency? Despite little or no help from the outside world, Kobane's Kurds have no intention of fading away from the scene. Their cause has galvanised Kurds throughout the region and beyond. The same old lie Unfortunately, many in the West buy the nonsense peddled by Turkey now. Across the Syrian border in NATO-ally Turkey, one high-ranking Turkish civil servant recently told Turkish journalist Ahu Ozyurt: "[ISIL] are like us, fighting against seven great powers, [as we did] in [our] war of Independence." Another one peevishly added, "Rather than the PKK, I would rather have ISIL as a neighbour." If Kobane falls, the unnamed Turkish civil servants will have their ISIL next door - and I am afraid something even worse than their "seven great powers" - that's how Turkish nationalists describe the allied powers of World War I. The fight to the "last drop of blood" that Polat vowed to wage, rages on. The Prime Minister of Kobane, Anwar Moslem, asked for international help on October 8: "I want everyone to know that the fall of Kobane would be the fall of humanity. I therefore appeal to everyone to stand up for Kobane and stand with us in these very difficult days." That clarion call has yet to reach its intended target. Let's hope it will do so soon, and Kobane will be remembered as a modern-day Stalingrad.

function Enable-BoxstarterVM { <# .SYNOPSIS Opens WMI ports and LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy for Workgroup Hyper-V VMs .DESCRIPTION Prepares a Hyper-V VM for Boxstarter Installation. Opening WMI ports if remoting is not enabled and enabling LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy if the VM is not in a domain so that Boxstarter can later enable PowerShell Remoting. Enable-BoxstarterVM will also restore the VM to a specified checkpoint or create a new checkpoint if the given checkpoint does not exist. .Parameter Provider The VM Provider to use. .PARAMETER VMName The name of the VM to enable. .PARAMETER Credential The Credential to use to test PSRemoting. .PARAMETER CheckpointName If a Checkpoint exists by this name, it will be restored. Otherwise one will be created. .NOTES PSRemoting must be enabled in order for Boxstarter to install to a remote machine. Bare Metal machines require a manual step of enabling it before remote Boxstarter installs will work. However, on a Hyper-V VM, Boxstarter can manage this by mounting and manipulating the VM's VHD. Boxstarter can open the WMI ports which enable it to create a Scheduled Task that will enable PSRemoting. For VMs that are not domain joined, Boxstarter will also enable LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy so that local accounts can authenticate remotely. For Non-HyperV VMs, use Enable-BoxstarterVHD to perform these adjustments on the VHD of the VM. The VM must be powered off and accessible. .OUTPUTS A BoxstarterConnectionConfig that contains the ConnectionURI of the VM Computer and the PSCredential needed to authenticate. .EXAMPLE $cred=Get-Credential domain\username Enable-BoxstarterVM -Provider HyperV -VMName MyVM $cred Prepares MyVM for a Boxstarter Installation .EXAMPLE Enable-BoxstarterVM -Provider HyperV -VMName MyVM $cred | Install-BoxstarterPackage MyPackage Prepares MyVM and then installs MyPackage .EXAMPLE Enable-BoxstarterVM -Provider HyperV -VMName MyVM $cred ExistingSnapshot | Install-BoxstarterPackage MyPackage Prepares MyVM, Restores ExistingSnapshot and then installs MyPackage .EXAMPLE Enable-BoxstarterVM -Provider HyperV -VMName MyVM $cred NewSnapshot | Install-BoxstarterPackage MyPackage Prepares MyVM, Creates a new snapshot named NewSnapshot and then installs MyPackage .LINK http://boxstarter.org Enable-BoxstarterVHD Install-BoxstarterPackage #> [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([BoxstarterConnectionConfig])] param( [parameter(Mandatory=$true, ValueFromPipeline=$True, Position=0)] [string[]]$VMName, [parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=1)] [Management.Automation.PsCredential]$Credential, [parameter(Mandatory=$false, Position=2)] [string]$CheckpointName ) Begin { ##Cannot run remotely unelevated.

Tiki in December – Planter's Punch
The first cocktail of my Tiki in December week is one I've heard mentioned many times, but I've never had the opportunity to try, Planter's Punch. Thankfully I decided I make a change to that. This drink is a lovely pink with an interesting brown cap of dark rum. The look of this drink alone screams out to me that it should be featured front and center in an ad for some tropical locale. The tastes is best summed with that same word, tropical. There is a ton of citrus flavor, not surprisingly, and the rum and grenadine flavors accent in the background.
This is definitely a drink that goes down very easy. Although the tartness from the lemon juice does slow you down at least a little bit. When you go to make this drink make sure you get a nice sweet orange juice. If you don't you may need to tone down the lemon juice a bit so it isn't overly sour. Experiment and see what you like.
I think this drink could also be a great party drink mixed up in advance, but still on the same day to preserve the fresh taste of the juice. Put it all in a big pitcher and let people pour their own with some cracked ice. Were you to take this route I'd go ahead and mix in the dark rum from the start. The visual appearance won't be as striking but your guests won't have the trouble of trying to float the rum on top of their own drinks.
Planter's Punch (Beachbum Berry's Grog Log)

New Ars Lyrica Houston Album Just Released - HEART & SOUL/
Released today by Centaur Records, this much anticipated album features renowned British counter-tenor Ryland Angel, Ars Lyrica Houston's Artistic Director Matthew Dirst on a Baroque-style Fritts organ, and a quintet of Ars Lyrica string players.
"It's a program that explores the richly expressive repertory of 17th-century German sacred music for voice and instruments. This was the first great flowering of art music in the Protestant church: sophisticated yet heartfelt music that encapsulates the joys and sorrows of the early modern age." - Artistic Director Matthew Dirst describes the repertoire.
"Heart and Soul" was recorded in 2013 and is the fourth commercial release for the Houston- based early music ensemble in the last three years. Previous Ars Lyrica recordings garnered considerable international acclaim: Gramophone, the leading journal of the classical recording industry, praised Ars Lyrica's debut CD for its "exemplary skill and taste," the ensemble's musicians for their "impassioned performance" of never-before recorded works by Alessandro Scarlatti; while Ars Lyrica's world première recording of Johann Adolf Hasse's Marc Antonio e Cleopatra, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Opera 2011.

- Johann Christoph Bach: Ach, dass ich Wassers Gnug hatte
- Johann Rosemuller: Sonata Decima a 5
- Christoph Bernhard: Was betrubst du dich, meine Seele

F1's Ecclestone goes on trial
April 24 - Bernie Ecclestone fights for his name - and his throne as the king of Formula One - as a bribery trial opens against him in Munich. Would a conviction hurt or help the sport's image? David Pollard reports.
Diminutive in stature perhaps, but a giant of the Formula One stage for four decades. Bernie Ecclestone could end his long dominance of motor sport in prison. That is, if found guilty by a Munich court. The F1 chief denies any wrongdoing. (SOUNDBITE) (English) FORMULA ONE CHIEF EXECUTIVE, BERNIE ECCLESTONE, WHEN ASKED WHETHER HE IS CONFIDENT ABOUT WINNING THE CASE, SAYING: "I am confident the sun is shining." F1 generates revenues of over one and half billion dollars a year. Ecclestone's accused of offering a 44 million dollar bribe to a banker - himself jailed on related charges - to ensure a stake in the sport was sold to private equity firm CVC. Ecclestone's 83 - but is still seen as central to the sport's commercial success. Chris Beauchamp is a market analyst with IG. SOUNDBITE: CHRIS BEAUCHAMP, MARKET ANALYST, IG, SAYING (ENGLISH): ''Ecclestone himself says that a deputy for him could bring the coffee in and check his emails, but not much else. He's really a man that has run everything in Formula One over the recent decades. And there's no succession plan in place. No-one else has seen any real ability to step up to the plate. So the company would need to look outside of that experience with all the uncertainty that goes with that as well. So I think it's probably a weaker move for Formula One if he does go.'' CVC remains the largest shareholder in F1. And despite everything, there's still strong interest in a long-awaited IPO. SOUNDBITE: CHRIS BEAUCHAMP, MARKET ANALYST, IG, SAYING (ENGLISH): ''It's been delayed again and again, but that may be to do with lingering issues with the company itself rather than the market appetite. There are plenty of companies out there who would like a piece of the action of F1. It is still a global business with a global brand. And It has managed fairly successfully to expand into new markets.'' Trial hearings will only be held once or twice a week - to allow Ecclestone to carry on with his F1 duties. If convicted, he could face ten years in jail, though it's thought he would serve far less.

Invitations were still a necessity though, so I went on the hunt to see what I could find in stores. My mom and I hit up Target and Michael's with no luck. And then we stopped and Kohl's and hit the jackpot with these cute flower-themed numbers.
First things first, ignore the quality of the photos. I worked on these during my lunch break and left my camera at home, so cell phone pics is what you get. Second, I too realized that these invitations did have a drawback. They aren't invitations. Minor detail, right? But that little 'Thanks A Bunch' on the front can totally be remedied. I started out by turning the once blank interior into your typical fill-in-the-blank invitations. This is super simple to do. Just measure the interior of your card and use Microsoft Word to make a page in that size. Then create a text box with your wording and run the invites straight through your printer. You could even write up party specific wording instead of the fill-in-the-blank version.
With the inside completed, I turned my attention to the front. I found a piece of cardstock in a coordinating color (really simple since there were so many to choose from) and ran it through the printer to create little tabs that say 'You're invited..." A little bit of adhesive later and I'd covered up that pesky 'Thanks A Bunch' with something more invitation appropriate.
And then all that was left to do was address and mail them out! Have you been tweaking anything premade to be semi-homemade in order to better fit your needs lately?

AMD, Intel, Asus Bring the Energy Back to PCs at Computex 2019
I was pretending to watch Paw Patrol with my 3-year-old daughter when my iPhone pinged. My neighbor had texted me from the middle school bus stop to let me know that my oldest child, a 13-year-old eighth grader, was missing.
With adrenaline coursing through my veins, my world suddenly stopped and narrowed. "No?" I texted back quickly, then punched Mason's cell number into my phone. No answer. Straight to voice mail. Twice, then three times.
I called my neighbor, who was still at the bus stop with the rest of our kids, including my second son. She suggested that maybe Mason had missed the bus, but it had been an hour since school let out; he would have contacted me by then. After questioning the other kids, we determined that Mason had actually ridden the bus home but had missed his stop, probably because he had fallen asleep.
I called the school and retrieved the number for the county school transportation office. The operator there called my son's bus driver, and although she initially couldn't see him on the bus - cue my heart dropping into the depths of my stomach - she pulled over and searched the seats. She finally found him hunched down and asleep in a back row.
I thought I might throw up even as relief washed over me and I was hit with all kinds of emotions: Disbelief, because who knew I still had to worry about my 13-year-old on the school bus? Gratitude for my neighbor who looked out for my child. Anger and love, almost in equal quantities, for the boy who had nearly given me a heart attack.
"You didn't answer your phone!" I exclaimed indignantly when my errant child was finally in my car and I had hugged him hard. "It's dead," he answered nonchalantly. "Chill out, Mom. I just fell asleep. It's no big deal."
"Your new bedtime is 7 p.m. until you're 40," I declared through clenched teeth. "Maybe you don't need a phone. What good is it if it doesn't work in times like these?"
That's why he has a cell phone, after all. My middle-school children go to a magnet school 30 minutes away from home. The school encourages the students to bring devices - though not necessarily phones - and they can use them only during designated times for Internet research, during lunch, and before and after school. The teachers often use text apps to communicate with students and their parents, and homework and assignments are posted online.
When my children went to middle school, I gave them cell phones before they could even ask for them. Even though they go to school in a carpool and ride the bus home almost every single day like clockwork, I wanted to be able to get in touch with them in case something went wrong, or in case they needed to tell me about a change in their transportation. I thought of the cell phones as safety nets: They made me feel better about sending them to middle school, especially across town.
Many of the problems parents worry about when considering cell phones for their children haven't been huge issues for us, at least as of now: My boys are not on social media. They rarely text their friends. They haven't sent any nude pictures of themselves or others, a rule we made clear the minute we put the phones in their hot little hands. They haven't searched for porn (or if they have, they have expertly covered their tracks).
So far, our biggest issues have been keeping the phones charged properly, enlightening the children about which apps drain our data and cost us a bajillion dollars at the end of the month, and keeping them from playing Crossy Road until the wee hours on school nights (see above re: falling asleep on the bus).
However, after my son's epic bus ride home and my resulting 30 minutes of terror, I had an epiphany about my parenting and my cell phone toting middle-schoolers. By giving them cell phones, I had inadvertently placed an expectation and a burden on my children that I did not experience until my 30s: that they could, and should, be reachable every moment of the day.
Because I had a childhood only a few miles away from where my own children are growing up comprised of long bike rides and walks, lost afternoons playing alone in my own backyard, and meandering home from the bus stop with friends without my mother pinging me, I should have realized that giving my children phones, I was ending that kind of independence for them.
For instance, when I was growing up and felt sick at school, I had to go to the school clinic and actually talk to a nurse about whether I should go home. Now, my children simply text me in between classes if they feel sick. "I think I have a fever. Come get me?" I have noted that the front desk receptionist never seems surprised when I show up out of the blue and tell her my child is sick and I have come to take him home, even though it is news to everyone except me and my child.
On more than one occasion, I have used the county school system's internet portal to look up my children's grades in the middle of the day. "What happened on that geometry test??" I text to my eighth grader. "MOM! NO TEXTING DURING SCHOOL!" comes the reply. Oops, right, of course.
I can text my son to find out if he made the school volleyball team before he comes home. I can call him from another room in the house to ask him if he wants pizza or spaghetti for dinner. If they are late getting home from the bus stop, I can text them and ask where they are. This is all very efficient, but have I taken something from my kids in the name of my own convenience and reassurance that they are instantly accessible (and also safe, intact, not injured, not kidnapped. . .)?
I'm no luddite. I love technology, I love the Internet. I run my house with Amazon Prime, I am blindly loyal to all things Apple, I can be found on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I'm all in. But I have a love-hate relationship with my own enslavement to the same technology I depend on so much: my husband and I are almost never unreachable, never out of touch, never unable to respond, whether to family, friends, or work. That's our own fault, but it's also a common expectation in a society when we can now wear watches to alert us to news from the cell phones in our pockets that enable us to work from anywhere at any time.
It's too late for me and my husband; there's no turning back. But for my children? There was time. I realize now that I wanted them to be reachable at all times not simply for their safety, but for mine; I wanted reassurance in the form of a sort of digital umbilical cord. Maybe that was selfish and short-sighted.
The truth is, my children don't need to be reachable every moment - even to me - to be safe. As our experience with the middle school bus showed me, a cell phone is no safety net, but other human beings are. My children are in a carpool with other parents I trust. They ride home on a school bus full of other children and a driver with a phone. They are at school all day with teachers and administrators charged with their care and well being. They go to practices with coaches who can help them if they need it. Yes, I like the idea of being able to call them or text them at will, but at what cost to my children? Do my children deserve to be able to get lost sometimes, to figure it things out for themselves, to allow the network of adults around them to do their jobs and be their safety net until they come back to me?
I have two younger children, and while I can't promise what I will do about them when they are middle school age, right now, my hope is to wait. They'll have access to devices like iPads - they already do. They might even be able to text. But no one expects someone to always have an iPad on their person. It's a different vibe and expectation than a phone.
I spend a lot of time telling my kids that they have to wait for some things: Rated R movies. Mature video games. Brand new phones instead of family hand-me-downs. Drivers' licenses. I tell them that part of the experience of growing up is that you don't get everything at once and when you want it. But as we acquire the trappings of adulthood, we also acquire the burdens. I accidentally gave my children one of them a little earlier than I hoped. There is plenty of time for them to be on call for the world. Until then, it's up to me to relieve them from that duty until absolutely necessary.

text: Being kind to the environment starts with being kind to your home. Today's retailers understand that consumers want products that not only work for them, but are made from the most responsible materials. Fabrics made from earth-friendly materials such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, and bamboo are naturally better than synthetic products made from polyester. Not only do they require less energy to produce, but they also offer a natural look and feel that cannot be duplicated outside of nature. The merchants at PointShop Mall offer a wide range of beautiful earth-friendly products for your home. Cotton It's known as "the fabric of our lives" for a reason. Cotton can be found in nearly every part of your home and has long been considered a giant in eco-friendly home fashions. With one of the softest hands and most versatile fibers, cotton has come to be trusted by consumers throughout the world. We love the luxury bed linens found at F&B Specialty Linens, as well as the colorful Tea Towels they offer to liven up your kitchen. Linen Linen is made from flax, which grows naturally and requires fewer pesticides to thrive than other fibers. Since the yarn is inherently strong, linen products tend to have a longer life span than other natural products, making it heirloom quality as well. Linen kitchen towels are often used in place of paper towels because of their ability to clean without leaving streaks or dust particles. We love the beautiful linen sheer drapery from Belgian Huis as well as the linen glass towels from F&B Specialty Linen. Wool The soft fleece of wool provides warmth and insulation from the cold in the most natural way possible. This fiber is not only durable and flexible, but can absorb some water without feeling wet. This makes it the perfect fiber for cold nights because it wicks away moisture, leaving you the perfect temperature. We love the Salinas Alpaca Wool Throw found at F&B Specialty Linens, as well as the pure wool mattress pads found at Domestic Bin. Silk This naturally luxurious fabric is one of the most coveted for its smooth feel and high sheen. Made from natural proteins, silk creates a breathable fabric that wicks away moisture and retains heat, making it perfect for bedding. Because it's easy to care for and retains its natural beauty for years, investing in a nice silk piece often leads to an heirloom item that can be passed down. We love the Venice silk bed linens from F&B Specialty Linen, as well as their Alina silk and cashmere throw. Bamboo Bamboo is a self-sustaining plant that grows quickly and produces an incredibly soft fiber despite its tough beginnings. In recent years, the technology to make bamboo fibers readily available has lent it to use in home fashions. This is a great choice in home product since it's naturally strong, retains shape, and inhibits bacterial growth. We love the bamboo cotton tea towel from Bella Cuisine and the bamboo placemats from Bed & Bath Outlet. No matter which natural fiber you choose for your home, decorating with earth-friendly products can not only be beautiful, but the responsible thing to do. Natural fibers as a whole require less energy to manufacture, produce less pollution, and have a smaller environmental impact. Browse the stores at PointShop Mall for everything you need in eco-friendly home fashions. Posted: Monday, April 21, 2014

California Woman with Rare Facial Pain Seeks Help/
By Pat Anson, Editor
People in chronic pain often live isolated, lonely and financially challenged lives. Every one of their stories is compelling, but we recently learned of one pain sufferer who could soon be homeless if she doesn't get help.
Hannah Lee is a 29-year old Los Angeles woman who suffers from a rare facial pain disorder called Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia (ATN), which is sometimes called "the suicide disease" because of how painful it is. Hannah's pain started in 2012 as a burning sensation in her eyes, and has now spread to her scalp and all of her teeth.
Hannah is in pain 24 hours a day and medication only gives her partial relief. The pain is so excruciating that Hannah says there were times she "wanted to gouge my eyes out."
"I'm really frightened about my future. I try to maintain an upbeat and positive vibe when I interact with everyone. But the truth is I'm really scared of being in so much pain and helpless, and being so close to homelessness which I can't survive while in this much pain," Hannah said.
Hannah's case is all the more disturbing because she has little money, no family and few social contacts. Hannah grew up as a foster child in Los Angeles County, living in different group homes until she reached the age of 18, when she was "emancipated" from foster care and began living on her own.
Hannah worked at part-time jobs, went to college at night, and earned a degree in business administration. She was well on her way to building a life and a career when the first symptoms of ATN began. Her savings were quickly exhausted as she went from doctor to doctor seeking treatment for an "invisible" disease most didn't understand and, in some cases, refused to recognize as real.
"I'm sorry for spilling it all out like this, but the pain is so debilitating that it's taking a lot of strength out of me each time I reach out. I have asked everyone I know for help," Hannah told Pain News Network.
Hannah currently lives in a 200 square foot efficiency unit near downtown Los Angeles that costs $680 a month – the cheapest housing she could find in a city where it's very expensive to live. She has a part-time job as a stenographer and has Medicaid coverage, but her insurance is not accepted by the few medical professionals in the area that treat ATN.
Adding to Hannah's woes is that she needs dental work that could help relieve some of her pain. But the cost would be well over a thousand dollars, which she simply can't afford.
"I still can't believe this is happening to me. I'm terrified that I've been struck with a disease that, even with family and their financial support, is a hard thing to cope with. I can't do this on my own but I want to survive this very, very badly and keep living somehow," she said.
Desperate for help – even from strangers – Hannah recently turned to GoFundMe, an online fundraising service where people can seek donations for various causes. You can read more about Hannah's story and make a donation to her by clicking here.
"I never in a million years thought I would do something like this, I've always been a very independent and private person and genuinely assumed that if my savings ran out and I still had this disease I would have to take my own life. But now that it's come down to it, I really want to live. I've tried everything and the last thing I can do is reach out to strangers," said Hannah.
"I can tell you that every word she says is true – her pain is so hidden, and she's so used to not saying anything, that people often mistake that for her pretending she's in pain," said Ashley Uyeshiro, an assistant professor of Clinical Occupational Therapy at USC, where Hannah attends a monthly support group for chronic pain patients.
"She now has to deal with possible homelessness, being alone, financial issues, and a terrible MediCal system where she can't get access to anything. If you can help her in any way, that would be the most amazing thing."
People are willing to help when they hear Hannah's story. So far she's raised a little over $1,000 on GoFundMe. But she needs a lot more to pay her medical bills and to keep a roof over her head.
Hannah has applied for disability, but that could take years before it's approved. And the amount she qualifies for would not even cover her rent.
"I would be extremely grateful for any help you are able to give. My hope is to pay it forward one day to other people in my situation. Thank you so much to everyone who supports me," says Hannah.

Large carnivores are important animals economically and ecologically. They contribute to a lucrative tourism industry, and maintain ecosystem health by regulating prey populations. Unfortunately many predators also eat livestock, which heavily impacts the farmers living alongside them. Without effective tools to prevent this human-wildlife conflict, many carnivores are killed in retaliation, and their populations are in decline as a result. While the importance of conserving large carnivores is clear, how to solve this complex issue is less obvious. Enter the i-cow project.
Like many of the projects at BPCT, the i-cow project relies on applying our acquired knowledge of carnivore behaviour to address a conservation management problem. Lions and leopards are ambush predators, relying on stalking and the element of surprise to capture their prey. Just as eye-patterns on insects deter birds, and wearing a mask on the back of your head appears to prevent attacks by man-eating tigers, lions and leopards that are seen by their prey usually abandon their hunt. By painting large eye-patterns onto cattle we are testing whether exploiting this psychological response can reduce livestock predation by lions and leopards, and ultimately conserve carnivores by reducing retaliatory killing by farmers and herdsmen.
Importantly, the i-cow approach is low cost and requires no specialist tools, which is an unusual but desperately needed combination in human-wildlife conflict management. The ultimate goal of the project is to provide farmers with a cost-effective tool that reduces their need and desire to kill big cats and promotes coexistence.
This project is a collaboration between the Botswana Predator Conservation Trust (Botswana), the Centre for Ecosystem Science at the University of New South Wales (Australia) and the Taronga Conservation Society (Australia).

The incredible generosity of Northwest Arkansans fuels the good work of nonprofits across the region, and many of them put on their biggest fundraisers toward the beginning of the year.
Jaclyn Keeter, the president of the Northwest Arkansas chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals and development and outreach services director for the Washington Regional Medical Foundation, said nonprofit organizations put on 350 special events a year. They include runs, walks, rides, galas, balls, banquets and celebrations.
"Special events are a way to engage a nonprofit's supporters as well as reach individuals who have a like-minded interest in the nonprofit's mission," Keeter said. "Events provide the platform and energy to share an organization's mission, to connect with individuals and organizations with mission-minded passion for the work being done, and to provide key financial support for programs and services."
Among the biggest is the Kiss A Pig Gala on March 11 in Rogers. The celebration draws attention to the work of the American Diabetes Association, which maintains its Northwest Arkansas/River Valley office in Bentonville. Celebrate Arkansas magazine's staff attends most of the region's largest nonprofit events and provided the photograph of Russ Daniel kissing the pig and it's his wife Jamie Daniel giving thumbs-up approval in the background.
The region's next major fundraiser is this Saturday when Paint the Town Red takes place at Fayetteville's Town Center. The event is part of a nationwide American Heart Association campaign that raises $60 million for research, advocacy and education programs.
All in NWA, a fundraiser for the Teen Action and Support Center in Rogers, takes place on Jan. 28 in Rogers. Last year's event raised about $48,000 for the center that's dedicated to helping teenagers with such things as facilitating volunteer hours and providing individual and family counseling services.
Northwest Arkansas residents will have a chance to attend the Walton Arts Center's Masquerade Ball on Feb. 11. Last year's event raised $204,000 for the center's educational programs.
There's also Northwest Arkansas Soup Sunday, an event started 16 years ago by Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. This year's event is Feb. 19 in Rogers.
The Chase Foundation holds its Fifth Annual Chase the Blues Away on Feb. 28 at Fayetteville's Town Center. The organization supports the elderly, veterans, women and children in domestic violence situations and animals.
Next comes the Starlight Gala on March 4 in Rogers. The event is put on to benefit the Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter. Last year's gala raised $465,000 for the nonprofit organization that provides emergency residential care to children who are victims of family violence, neglect and abuse.
The remainder of the year is jammed with hundreds of other events, including some that draw more than 1,000 supports of the organization and some that draw only a few dozen guests.
Among the largest fundraisers later this year are the Sunshine Gala that supports the Sunshine School and Development Center (April 8), the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure (April 22), the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Run for the Roses Hope Gala (May 6), the Dream Big Charity Gala that supports the Children's Safety Center (July 22) and the Northwest Arkansas Heart Ball that supports the heart association (May 13).
Events in the last half of 2017 include the Color of Hope Gala put on by Arkansas Children's Hospital (Aug. 4), the Jones Center's Big Night Event (Nov. 11), and the Mercy Health Foundation's Northwest Arkansas Charity Ball (Dec. 2).

"My work may be garbage but it's good garbage." Mickey Spillane
We all have a bit of darkness in our souls. Creatures that were sleeping under our beds as children and then evolve into the body of our accumulated hurts. So very many things that haunt us.
My work is very dark and recently I got into a conversation with a reviewer who had a lot of questions they wanted answered just because they were curious. If one person has those questions then so do others and I thought I might answer a few of them.
The one that has come up so often is the reason I have so much sexual violence and rape in my books. Well I'm writing about war primarily. If you watch the news or keep up with things that happen in India, Somalia, Serbia, and even in most military history accounts from as far back as Herodotus and beyond, one of the largest commonalities was rape. The Rape of the Sabine Women was the way that Rome was founded. Rape has been used as a vehicle of genocide. If you read any of the histories of the Trojan War, you find that women were regarded as prizes of war and either given away as gifts or kept as slave-concubines. When ancient armies overran a city, they killed all the adult males and many of male children and then carried off the females who were often raped on the spot.
War is a hideous ugly thing, but the sheer horror of it draws me in and fascinates me the way that a flame will attract moths to their doom. I come from a large extended family that saw a lot of male on female violence and came in for my share of it. My "you hit me and now I'm going to kill you" attitude generally discouraged a rematch. I only lost three fights and got seriously beaten, but then how can a five foot woman really go up against a six foot five male who was strong enough to lift car engines?
The one thing I understand to its bloody core is violence of all types. They say to write what you know. Violence is what I know.

The right step for homeless shoeshine man
For the last three years, I've been getting a firsthand education on how homelessness and poverty can be treated in San Francisco.
Frankly, when this started I scoffed at the city's efforts. I thought the process was mired in red tape, residences were dirty and unsafe, and the service workers were clueless.
I was wrong.
Larry Moore, the Market Street shoeshine guy, has provided a glimpse of the ups and downs that come with being homeless. And how even the best intentions are sometimes not enough.
Moore, who was looking to move out of his dingy, single-room occupancy hotel, now has housing in the Cadillac Hotel on Eddy Street, one of the city's top affordable residences. In addition, the money that readers donated since the first of the month has been put in a managed trust fund.
"We don't take everyone," said Nancy Nielsen, deputy director of Lutheran Social Services, "but we are going help set up a money management account for him."
When they read that hooligans had torched Moore's shoeshine stand in the aftermath of the celebration following the Giants' World Series victory, readers responded. Between checks mailed to The Chronicle and donations to a website set up by a reader named Megan Hopkins, nearly $16,000 was collected.
Lutheran Services will use that money to pay the rent at the first of each month and help Moore manage his money.
"I had a chance before," Moore said. "But I screwed it up."
Sadly, he did. I met Moore in March 2009, when he was living under a freeway overpass South of Market. But he wore a coat and tie to work and peppered his shoe shines with one-liners.
He was also a former heroin addict, a recovering alcoholic and he'd been homeless for six years.
When I wrote about his troubles over the years, readers donated money for rent and a permit to run his business, and to pay his taxes. A landlord gave him a sweetheart deal on an apartment. When he was unable to work after back surgery in 2010, so many donations rolled in that he had enough rent money for almost four years.
But that's where I learned that it takes more than writing a column and soliciting donations to make a difference. The money ran through Moore's fingers like water. The nest egg vanished. He fell behind on rent and was evicted.
So when the shoeshine stand burned and readers began to donate money, we resolved to do things differently.
And that's where the uplifting part begins. Cadillac Hotel executive director Kathy Looper is a Tenderloin legend. She and her late husband, Leroy, founded the low-income housing facility in 1969, and it has quietly become a model for what can be done in the midst of a tough neighborhood. Moore is lucky to find a room there.
"We love what we do and we love our residents," Looper said.
But - and this is important - it isn't all happy chat. Looper runs a tight ship.
"I can't have slackers," Looper said. "I depend on residents to pay their rent. If they won't pay, we're happy to go to court. And we have, many times."
But as we have seen, finding housing doesn't mean the struggle is over. Moore still couldn't hang on to money. In the last few weeks, hundreds of dollars given to him disappeared.
The fact that he agreed to a trust fund was a huge step. For that I credit Justin Solomon, from Mission Housing Development Corp. Another of those unsung city service providers, Solomon convinced Moore this was the right step. Clearly he has done this before.
"I guess I would say that you need to take a personal interest and see things through," Solomon said. "It takes a significant amount of time."
In the end, I have been enormously impressed with all the service providers. They've got Moore in a place where he has a chance to succeed.
Now it is up to him.
