Cotton Strand Necklaces
Cotton Strand Necklaces
Pretty as a picture!
Cotton strand necklaces are a delicate yet bold way to assert your sense of style. Skilfully woven using 100% cotton, the strands are hand dyed, layered, gathered and secured. A feminine ribbon bow acts as the clasp giving it an even softer, more elegant finish.
Culturally inspired yet conservatively styled, this piece is suited to the more traditional woman. Spoil yourself or make someone's day by giving them the gift of classical beauty.

Nail Trimming
It is all too common for even the sweetest pooch to turn into a wild ball of rage at the slightest hint that you're going to cut their nails. Unfortunately, it is a necessary evil for most dogs, to avoid them splintering or snapping as they get too long, although many active dogs will wear down their nails themselves.
Ask For Advice
It is a good idea to ask a vet or a groomer to help you. Dog's have a quick just like humans, that runs through the centre of the nails. In pale coloured dogs it can be seen as a pink blood vessel in the middle of the nail. If you trim too far and accidentally nick it, it will hurt the dog and bleed profusely, and can be difficult to stop without an astringent powder. In dogs with black nails it cannot be seen at all, and it can be tricky to know how far to trim without practise.
Choose a Clipper
There are many options for choosing a nail trimmer, so try out a few and find one that suits you and that you find easy to use. JW Grip Soft have a range of options.
- Guillotine – these are best for small to medium dogs. They are very easy to use, but do not have the force for larger dogs. There is a small hole to line the nail up in, and then squeezing the handles brings the blade across the hole and through the nail.
- Scissors – working just like a pair of scissors but with a rounded blade to more accurately cut the nail. These are the least expensive, but again are most suited to small dogs.
- Pliers – ranging in size and strength for different breeds, these are spring loaded, similar to a pair of hedge trimmers. They are still easy to use and have a bit more strength, but can fray very small nails.
Take it very slowly and carefully when you begin to trim their nails. By pairing gentle touching of their feet with treat rewards, you can avoid all the drama that commonly accompanies a pedicure. Over time, you can start to trim small amounts off their nails gently, one at a time so that they aren't overwhelmed, and not forgetting to reward them plentifully for their cooperation.
If your dog is particularly frightened or struggling, it may be a good idea to ask a groomer or vet to help you. An ill-timed wiggle can result in an accidental cut too high up the nail, and the resultant pain may put them off for life. Alternatively, ask a positive based trainer to help you desensitise them to having their feet touched.
Most dogs have five claws, four on their pads and one further up inside the leg, called a dew claw. Generally they only have dew claws on the front legs, designed for gripping objects, but there are exceptions and some will have hind dew claws as well. These are particularly prone to curling around as they grow, so it is important to remember to trim them. Being up the leg they are often forgotten about.

Also featured are reviews of selections from Rawkus stalwarts Company Flow, Daz Dillenger and Kurupt Young Gotti, Demigodz, The GZA & DJ Muggs, and some unexpected fire from Fresh "Will Smith" Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff.

SPRINGFIELD Mass Live – A 41-year-old city man, who apparently named the sledgehammer that he uses for work after a prominent personal injury lawyer, allegedly used it to break down the door of an ex-girlfriend's Windsor Street home early Wednesday and threaten her, police said.
The woman and another occupant of the home escaped injury after they barricaded a hallway door with a refrigerator, Sgt. John M. Delaney said.
The incident began about 1:40 a.m. when the suspect, Eric Turhan Northrop, approached the woman's home and threatened to use the sledgehammer which he referred to as " Mark E. Salomone" to break down the door if she didn't let him in, Delaney, aide to Commissioner William J. Fitchet, said. Salomone is a well-known Massachusetts accident lawyer who airs commercials on television.
Delaney, quoting from the arresting officer's report, said that Northrop "broke through the front door wildly swinging Mark E. Salomone'" and yelled "I am going to get medieval on you like Thor." A
Responding police officers found the sledgehammer on a table inside the home and arrested Northrop, of 40 Windsor St.
He was charged with home invasion, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, threat to commit a crime and assault with a dangerous weapon, police documents state.

In this work, Richard E. Mshomba offers an in-depth analysis of economic integration in Africa with a focus on the East African Community (EAC), arguably the most ambitious of all the regional economic blocs currently in existence in Africa. Economic Integration in Africa provides more than just an overview of regional economic blocs in Africa; it also offers a rich historical discussion on the birth and death of the first EAC starting with the onset of colonialism in the 1890s, and a systematic analysis of the birth, growth, and aspirations of the current EAC. Those objectives include forming a monetary union and eventually an East African political federation. This book also examines the African Union's aspirations for continent-wide integration as envisioned by the Abuja Treaty. Mshomba carefully argues that maturity of democracy and good governance in each country are prerequisites for the formation of a viable and sustainable East African federation and genuine continent-wide integration.Read more
- Examines economic integration in Africa from a historical, economic, and political perspective, showing the confluence of history, economics, and politics in shaping the pace of economic integration
- Focuses on one regional economic bloc - the East African Community (EAC) - while at the same time maintaining a broader perspective by considering continent-wide integration efforts
- Presented in chronological order, making historical developments easy to follow
Reviews & endorsements
'To date, we have lacked authoritative studies of some of Africa's most important regional organizations, which has undermined our understanding of how African states engage with one another. Richard E. Mshomba has filled this gap for the East African Community, providing a thorough, clearly written and persuasive account of its strengths and weaknesses. This volume represents a significant contribution to the debate, and will be an important touchstone for academics, policy makers and practitioners alike.' Nic Cheeseman, University of BirminghamSee more reviews
'Professor Richard E. Mshomba has produced an outstanding study that should be of utmost value to a wide variety of scholars, students, and policy practitioners. In cogent and compelling language, he has clarified the economic challenges and opportunities of regional economic federations; he has brought us a compelling history of the efforts to achieve regional economic integration in Eastern Africa. His analysis and conclusions will be of interest to scholars of economic integration throughout the developing world.' Michael F. Lofchie, University of California, Los Angeles

to the charge. By this time Washington had gained the
main street and opened a battery of six field-pieces, which
swept them from end to end. As Rahl advanced at the head
of his grenadiers, he fell mortally wounded. \t the fall of
their leader his soldiers attempted to retreat, but they were
intercepted by Colonel Hand with his Pennsylvania riflemen ;
and, hemmed in on all sides, they grounded their arms and
surrendered at discretion.
Stark, with his detachment had assaulted the south side
of the town, and the firing- in that quarter had added to the
general confusion. A party of British light-horse, and five
hundred Hessians stationed there "took headlong flight, by
the bridge across the Assunpink," and thus escaped and join-
ed Donop at Bordentown. Had Colonel Ewing been able
to cross, according to the arrangement, their escape would
have been prevented.
The Americans took one thousand prisoners, of whom
thirty-two were officers ; of their own number only two were
killed and two were frozen to death on the march. Several
were wounded among whom was James Monroe, afterward
President of the United States, who was at this time a lieu-
tenant in the army.
The Spirit of '76
Through the chances and changes of vanished years,
Our thoughts go back to the olden time, —
That day when the people resolved to be free.
And, resolving, knew that the thing was done.
What booted the struggle yet to be,
When the hearts of all men beat as one.
And hand clasped hand, and eyes met eyes,
And lives were ready to sacrifice?
The years since then have come and sped,
And the heroes of those old days are dead ;
But their spirit lives in today's young men;
And never in vain would our country plead
For sons that were ready to die at her need.
— Louise Chandler Moulton.
Andrew Yeager at the Battle of Brandywine
It may be interesting in this connection to publish the
letter of Gen. Washington to the president of Congress, re-
lating to the battle of the Brandvwine.
Chester, T2 o'clock at night,
Sept. ii, 1777.
Sir: — I am sorry to inform you that in this day's en-
gagement we have been obliged to leave the enemy masters
of the field. Unfortunately the intelligence received of the
enemy's advancing up the Brandywine and crossing at a ford
about six miles above us was uncertain and contradictory,
notwithstanding all my pains to get the best. This prevented
me from making a disposition adequate to the force with
which the enemy attacked us on our right ; in consequence
of which the troops first engaged were obliged to retire be-
fore thev could be reinforced. In the midst of the attack on
the right that body of the enemy which remained on the
other side of Chad's ford, crossed it, and attacked the divi-
sion there under the command of Gen. Wayne and the light
troops under Gen. Maxwell, who after a severe conflict also
retired. The militia under the command of Gen. Armstrong
being posted at a fort about two miles below Chad's, had no
opportunity of engaging.
But though we fought under manv disadvantages and
were, from the causes above mentioned, obliged to retire, yet
our loss of men is not, I am persuaded, very considerable ;
I believe much less than the enemy's. We have also lost
seven or eight pieces of cannon according to the best infor-
mation I can at present obtain. The baggage having been
previously moved off, is all secure saving the men's blankets
which being at their backs, many of them doubtless are lost.
I have directed all the troops to assemble behind Chester,
where they are now arranging for this night. Notwithstand-
ing the misfortune of the day, I am happy to find the troops
in good spirits; T hope another time we shall compensate for
the losses now sustained. The Marquis de Lafayette was
wounded in the leg and Gen. Woddford in the hand; divers
other officers were wounded ; and some slain, but the num-
bers of either cannot now be ascertained.
1 have the honor to be, etc.,
George Washington.
P. S. — Tt has not been in my power to send you earlier
intelligence, the present being the first leisure moment I have
had since the action.
The pioneer settlers, of whatever nationality were men
of positive character. They came three thousand miles,
braving the dangers of a tedious ocean voyage, that they
might enjoy a larger manhood than was possible under the
social and political conditions then existing in Europe. They
were men- of high principle chafing under the fetters which
bound them in their native lands. Pennsylvania invited
them to a broader life, to tangible opportunities, to untram-
meled effort, to religious freedom. Pennsylvania needed
them to people the wilderness and make it fruitful. — Henry
S. Dotterer, Esq.

Peter Yeager and Descendants
The following account of Peter Yeager, grandson of
George Yeager, the Revolutionary Patriot of Chester county,
was furnished by Miss Dora Dunlap of N T orristown, Pa.
Peter Yeager was horn in the year 170^. on the old
homestead, in East Vincent township, Chester county, taken
by his great-grandfather, and resided there until the time of
his marriage in 1823. He served his Country in the War of
As an anecdote of his war days the following was fre-
quently related by him : The supplies of the Americans were
very meagre and "there were not sufficient muskets to sup-
ply all the soldiers and some of the men were compelled to
take fence rails to keep up the appearance of bravery."
In 1823 Peter Yeager was united in matrimony to
Catherine Schlichter and went to farming in Pikeland iown-
ship, ahout two miles from the old homestead, being part
of the ground that his great grandfather had taken in a sec-
tion of 640 acres.
To this marriage were born six children, Priscilla, Su-
sanna, William, Catherine, Peter and Louisa. In 1837 his
wife Catherine died, as also his eldest daughter, Priscilla, in
her minority.
In 1838 he married Barbara Taney, and to this mar-
riage was born four children, Andora, Charles, Minerva and
Alice, the latter of whom also died in her minority.
His second wife, Barbara, survived him and is still liv-
ing, aged 84. years, at the home of her daughter, Minerva
Dunlap, at Linfield, Montgomery county, Penna.
William and Peter were both engaged in farming, were
married and had families. Both are now deceased. Su-
sanna married Justice Law, also a fanner. Catherine mar-
ried Henry Messenger, a stove dealer. Louisa married Wil-
liam Mover, a farmer. Andora married George Rapp, flour
manufacturer. Minerva married Oliver Dunlap, superin-
tendent of stove works. Charles Yeager is engaged in
Of the grandchildren, the sons of Susanna are engaged
in farming. Three of her daughters are married. Sarah A.
Law is a professional nurse, and has won for herself quite
a reputation at West Chester, Chester county, Pa.
The sons of William are engaged in farming and his
daughter married Andrew Barlow, a farmer.

Many of these grandchildren are located within a few

majority of them are engaged in farming.
There is a quaint little church, very modern in ap-
pearance, rebuilt on the very spot where Peter Yeager help-

now known as St. Vincent, but in former days it was known
as the Yeager church, which shows that all the Veagers
were religiously inclined. It is of the German-Reformed

Fifty Years a Hunter
John Yeager Has Chased Reynard Half a Century
The following interesting account of John Yeager. Jr..
born 1830, of Spring City, Penna., great-grandson of George
of Chester, appeared in a Philadelphia Daily paper February
9th, 1902:
Spring City., Pa., Feb. 9. — The most popular, as well
as the most exciting sport and amusement in this section of
the Schuylkill Valley during the Winter season is that of
fox hunting. Nearly every day some of the hunts are out
and chasing Reynard over the hills and dales of northern
Chester County. Within a radius of twelve or fifteen miles
from this plaee there are eight or ten cluhs, and aside from
these regular hunts there are numerous farmers and others
who keep small j acks of hornds and they, too, seldom miss
a nice da} 's chance to ride after the pack. This wily animal
affords great amusement for the cultured and refined men.
and those who stand high in the community socially and in-
tellectually are the most enthusiastic admirers of the sport.
Among the most prominent in the various hunts of this
neighborhood are the following : —
Spring City Hunt — John Yeager, Jr., Dr. J. C. Me-
whinnev, Milton Latshaw, Bert Piercey, William Wunder,
Frank Miller, John Miller, John Deery, Hosea Latshaw,
Samuel Mowrey and Joseph Miller.
Vincent, or Tyson Hunt — Jesse Tyson, Daniel Mowrey,
William Leopold, Edward Leopold and Willis Hnzzard.
Kimberton Hunt — Newton Davis, John Wilson. Louis
Wilson. W. Keller, John Strough, Joseph Griffith and John
Royersford — Charles Garber, Frank Garber, John Gra-
ter and George Garber.
Lionville limit — Dr. Granville Prizer, Fred Wilson,
Jacob Coulter, John Jones, Sr., James Jones, Jr.
Belleview Hunt— Edward Smith. |olm Markley, Col-
onel Missimer, Frederick Smith. Sumner Smith, and Mr.
Black Rock Hunt— Ellis Butt, Bud Anderson and a
Mr. Yeager.
The Smith Brothers, of the Belleview II int. are nun of
fine education and business interests, and thev always can
find time and pleasure in running after the hounds for the
wily animal.
For over twenty-five years Dr. Granville Prizer. of the
Lionville Hunt, followed the fox-hunting sport and consid-
ers it a fine and manly sport. For many years he was the
owner of the famous Lionville pack.
Jesse Tyson and William Leopold of the Vincent Hunt,
are two good hunters, and they have traveled over the Falls
of French Creek Hills so often that they know every nook
and corner and can tell one great stories about the holing of
sly Reynard among the rocks and boulders which abound
Probably the oldest fox hunter in the State and the
most enthusiastic is John Yeager, Jr., of the Spring City
Hunt. Mr. Yeager, who is sometimes called "captain," is 72
years of age, and for fifty-five years has ridden in the sad-
dle. He generally attends all the fox hunts, and in his
younger days would rather chase a fox fifty miles than eat
a good dinner. Mr. Yeager is a man of rare intelligence,
and he thinks that fox hunting is one of the most manly and
enjoyable sports. He has never grown tired of it. He has
traveled over eighty miles in a day in a chase for the brush,
and has had to cross and recross places that were not only
considered dangerous but were, and his fellow-riders would
go miles out of their way before they would follow him in
what they thought were perils.
During his fifty-five years in the saddle he has owned
and ridden several horses, but his three best were first of all
Tom, a fine specimen of horse flesh. On the run he could
not make the turn, and Tom jumped and leaped over a four-
foot fence post and a pile of cordwood four feet wide that
was corded against the fence. He was riding for the brush.
and when he saw that he could not make the turn or stop
his horse he thought to himself, "Here goes/' and Tom
made a clean sweep of it. This was fifty years ago.
Peacock, a large and finely built brown horse, was an-
John Yeager
Of Chester County, on Old Buckskin.
other favorite. On one of his chases Peacock jumped a fore-
bay of a sawmill race below the dam, a distance of ten feet
across, and would jump five-foot post fences where others
failed to get through.
During the past ten years lie has ridden "( )ld Buck-
skin," a horse well-known throughout this section of northern
Chester and Montgomery counties. "Old Buckskin" in his
early years could outjump them all, and today will make
others hustle to heat him.
Air. Yeager is known far and wide as the "veteran" at
the fox chase sport and last night, while seated in a large
rocking chair toasting his feet near the stove, in his palatial
residence, he spent over an hour with "The Press" repre-
sentative relating a portion of his life in the saddle, and could
give accounts of his chases enough to fill volumes. About
thirty-five years ago he went to a chase in Coventry. When
he arrived a hundred people were present, besides fifty horse-
men and seventy-five hounds. Off they started, all but the
veteran. Some asked whether he was going along. At the
time he had a horse that was not afraid of anything — no
fences too high, nor ditches too wide for him. Suddenly he
started out close to the Dunkard Meeting House, crossing
the road below and over into a large field, with his hounds
in hot pursuit. While crossing the field at almost breakneck
speed his $100 gold watch flew out of his Docket, hut he
never stopped to get it. On he went across the field and
down to House's Store. Here he crossed the canal bridge,
going toward the Schuylkill River. The fox was running a
merry chase, and into the river he jumped, with forty of the
hounds only a few feet behind him.
The river at this point was about twenty feet deep and
on he went. Air. Yeager placed his feet around the horse's
neck and crossed over in safety. The fox went toward the
signal tower on the Reading Railway below Sanatoga and
crossed over the fields towards Oliver Evans", changed his
course to John Evans' then down a by-road. The fox and
dogs were within fifty yards of the veteran who raced him
for half a mile in a hollow, where the dogs caught the fox
and killed it. Mr. Yeager secured the brush and rode back
to Evans'. He then turned hack and went to get a second
prize, this time cutting off both ears. Turning back he got
in the road at Oliver Evans' and abont this time met twenty-
five of the huntsmen, who insisted that the veteran should go
in front. He then marched them up the pike in double col-
umn to Pottstown, proceeding up PTigh Street to the Shuler
House, where they made merry. Mr. Yeager then con-
cluded he would go after his watch, and Samuel Halleman
accompanied him. When they got down below the Dunkard
Meeting House in a field of about twenty acres the watch
was found but the case had been broken off its hinges by
striking with such force against the frozen ground. He
still carries the watch and delights in showing it when relat-
ing the incident.
Another daring fox hunt that Mr. Yeager took part in
was about seventeen years ago. A large red male fox was
jumped on the Lockart thicket and ran over Beaver Hill to
Prospect Hill down to the Powder Mill on to Bunker's Hill,
and while crossing Benner's Mill his horse fell and he was
thrown violently. As he fell several dollars flew out of his
pockets. Although he was hurt badly he jumped his horse
and rode throughout the chase, which lasted about four
hours. The fox was finally run in a large pile of stumps
and was captured alive by the wounded man.
On another occasion the old hunter took a fox to Kim-
berton to make a combined hunt. All the hunts within ten
miles were invited including Pottstown. Xantmeal. Tyson's,
Charlestown, Chester Springs, Kimberton and others. The
Pottstown huntsmen brought along with them "an old bud-
dy" with a spirited horse to go along with Mr. Yeager. The
fox was dropped at 9.30 A. M. and the hunt, which proved
to be a daring one, started in earnest, his foxship crossing
over Benner's Hill down to the Powder Mill and on to St.
Matthew's Church and down to Bun's Hill, but before they
reached there Yeager had lost his old buddy and all the rest
of the hunters. The fox went through Charlestown, down
to Tinker's Hill, back and over Phoenix Hill and on to
Kimberton. Silas King, who is now dead, saw the hunt
coming and, recognizing Mr. Yeager among them, he ran
and threw the gate open for Yeager to pass through, and
after running to Todd's Bushes he was holed. Two or
three of the neighbors came and helped dig the fox out,
and with the red male under his arm he rode back to Kim-
berton, where they were all waiting to hear reports.
The old black fox that has been on the rampage for the
past seven years, and which has been run bv every hunt in
this neighborhood, is still at large. In speaking of him Mr.
Yeager says he is the finest specimen he has ever set eyes
upon and says he will not rest satisfied until he gets him.
This black fellow is full of tricks, drawing the hounds alarm-
ingly near, and always takes to earth after a hot finish. Mr.
Yeager can give a history of nearly all his hunts for the past
fifty-five years as he has kept a diary. Reynard will not fall
into a state of rest in this locality, for each year there are
always new hunters dropping in the ranks.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Klein, Julius Leopold
KLEIN, JULIUS LEOPOLD (1810-1876), German writer of Jewish origin, was born at Miskolcz, in Hungary. He was educated at the gymnasium in Pest, and studied medicine in Vienna and Berlin. After travelling in Italy and Greece, he settled as a man of letters in Berlin, where he remained until his death on the 2nd of August 1876. He was the author of many dramatic works, among others the historical tragedies Maria von Medici (1841); Luines (1842); Zenobia (1847); Moreto (1859); Maria (1860); Strafford (1862) and Heliodora (1867); and the comedies Die Herzogin (1848); Ein Schützling (1850); and Voltaire (1862). The tendency of Klein as a dramatist was to become bombastic and obscure, but many of his characters are vigorously conceived, and in nearly all his tragedies there are passages of brilliant rhetoric. He is chiefly known as the author of the elaborate though uncompleted Geschichte des Dramas (1865-1876), in which he undertook to record the history of the drama from the earliest times. He died when about to enter upon the Elizabethan period, to the treatment of which he had looked forward as the chief part of his task. The work, which is in thirteen bulky volumes, gives proof of immense learning, but is marred by eccentricities of style and judgment.
Klein's Dramatische Werke were collected in 7 vols. (1871-1872).

Sometimes. Sometimes we give in to temptation- even knowing the thing we're about to do is silly, and unnecessary, and maybe even downright stupid. We do it anyway. Tea Tin is the last remaining of a set of quadruplets. They're all cut out of one big tea tin. Cutting them out cleanly- and then cleaning them up to a comfortable edge- took far more time than you imagine, and all four of them ought to cost far more than they do. But the metal that teatins are made of is thin, and I'm not confident in their long term durability. Consider their low price to be my payment for you writing to me in four years, and then, if you remember, again in twenty, and if we're both still around, again in fifty years, and telling me how they hold up. I'm curious. They are still flexible, and comfy- but I wouldn't toss one in my luggage without packing it up pretty carefully. They're even lighter than normal, though, so there's that.

Emmanuel Macron neglected his own nation's musical emblem as he walked out to deliver his victory speech, instead heralding his victory with the EU's Anthem of Europe. In the past French politicians have announced their victory to the sound of La Marseillaise, which has stood as their anthem for hundreds of years. But Mr Macron, who has gained support from major European figures including Jean-Claude Juncker and Angela Merkel, instead blasted the anthem of Europe 'Ode to Joy' from the speakers as he waved to adoring crowds of voters outside the Louvre museum. The show of allegiance with the faltering European project was condemned by the losing Front National, who have fought to remove France from the crumbling European bloc. Speaking to the public he said: "I'll defend France, I'll defend Europe, and will strengthen links between Europe and its people." And while he later sang the French anthem with the crowd at the end of his speech, French voters on Twitter were quick to criticise

100 days of Mamata's hits and misses
Mamata's first big measure began just after the moment she was sworn in. True to her image of a people's chief minister, Mamata walked down the less-than-a-km distance between Raj Bhawankolkata Updated: Aug 26, 2011 19:07 IST
May 20: Mamata's first big measure began just after the moment she was sworn in. True to her image of a people's chief minister, Mamata walked down the less-than-a-km distance between Raj Bhawan, where she took the oath, to the state secretariat in Writer's Buildings. Not ready to lose a minute, she presided over a cabinet meeting on the very first day that went on almost till midnight, triggering exhaustion and fatigue in the frail Amit Mitra, who had to be rushed to a hospital on the way back home.
May 24: Mamata pays a surprise visit to Seth Sukhlal Karnani Memorial hospital, better known as SSKM. The visit took the authorities by surprise who were completely unprepared for the visit that was kept secret by the chief minister. She was enraged to see the chaos in the premier state-run hospital and even suspended the head of Bangur Institute of Neurology, a wing of the hospital. The surprise visit to hospitals became Mamata's hallmark in the subsequent days.
June 10: Following the directive of Mamata Banerjee, education minister Bratya Basu constituted a 10-member committee to suggest ways to overhaul higher education. The committee would suggest methods to improve the functioning of colleges and universities apart from changes in legislations governing higher educational institutions. The governor M K Narayanana, who is the chancellor of state universities, has frozen all appointment related activities in universities. The higher education department aims floating a process where vice chancellors could be impeached. On July 17 the school education department formed a 19-member committee to revamp primary, secondary and higher secondary syllabi.
June 14: Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Bill passed in the Assembly. This was Mamata Banerjee's most dramatic move in the first 100 days. Returning about 400 acres of the 997.17-acre plot to the unwilling farmers was the first resolution in the first cabinet meeting and she took the first step towards fulfilling it by vesting the land leased to Tata Motors through this Bill. Eventually, however, the return of the land got stuck due to litigation. Hearing is currently on in Calcutta high court.
June 29: Mamata Banerjee set up a eight-member mentor group to help Presidency University grow into a world-class institution. While Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen was named the chief mentor, Harvard historian Sugata Bose became its chairperson. The mentor group was asked to make short, medium and long-term recommendations. The first report of recommendation and reviews of implementation was submitted on August 25. The next reports will be submitted in January 2012, August 2012, January 2013 and June 2013. Apart from making recommendations the government has asked the mentor group to monitor its implementation process for the next two years.
July 7: Mamata mandated a group of six civil society members to start and initiate dialogue with the Maoists, thereby becoming the second chief minister after Y S Rajshekhar Reddy of Andhra Pradesh to bring the rebels to the dialogue table. Even when she was the opposition leader, Mamata insisted on a soft line vis-à-vis the Maoists. In her famous Lalgarh rally on August 9, 2010, she condemned the killing of CPI(Maoist) spokesperson Azad. On July 20, 2011 chief minister Mamata Banerjee announced 52 political prisoners would be released in the state in the first phase.
July 18: Government signs treaty with GJM forming Gorkhaland Territorial Administration. This was a big bang achievement for the government, and a personal milestone for Mamata, who was seen solving the vexed Hill problem within two months, which the Left Front was battling for years. The treaty grants a great degree of autonomy to the people of the Hills, handing over 59 departments such as PWD and education. The agreement also provides for a survey of Terai and Dooars to examine whether they can come under GTA. The treaty also leaves the option for GJM to raise the demand for Gorkhaland.
August 6: Bengal got central financial help of Rs 21,614 crore. After much wrangling Mamata could extract some funds from the Centre, but the sum failed to amuse her. Of the amount, Rs 9,240 crore was grant-in-aid and the rest of the money was project specific. Bengal is burdened with a debt much in excess of Rs 2.03 lakh crore (2,030 billion) and earns such a small tax revenue that it needs to borrow in order to service its debt after paying salary and pension. Mamata has described the help as "not enough" and would knock at the Centre's door in a few months.
August 11: Sushanta Ghosh, former Left Front minister and CPI(M) MLA from Garbeta in West Midnapore, taken into custody by the CID. Ghosh stands accused in the murder of seven Trinamool Congress supporters who were killed on September 22, 2002 in Keshpur of West Midnapore. On June 4, five skeletons were dug out from a spot behind Ghosh's ancestral house in Garbeta. Subsequent forensic tests confirmed that two of the skeletons were indeed that of two of those killed in Keshpur. This week former CPI(M) MP Lakshman Seth was also named in an FIR when another skeleton was discovered from a school near Nandigram.
August 19: Name changed from West Bengal to Paschimbanga. Mamata pushed through the change of name in an all-party meeting. Several alternatives Bangabhumi, Banga, Bangla, Banga Pradesh were also discussed but only Paschimbanga earned political consensus. The chief minister's personal choice was Bangabhumi, but she did not push for it. In 1999, during the Left Front regime MLAs of different parties got together unsuccessfully to change the name to Bangla. The current move also has to move several steps before it is officially recognised.

Leg cramps are a common sign that you have may have venous insufficiency, i.e. varicose veins. The only way to know for sure is to go to a professional varicose vein treatment center and get a duplex ultrasound performed on your legs.
A duplex ultrasound will allow you and the doctor performing the test to view the blood flow inside the veins in your leg.
This test will also let you and your doctor take a close three-dimensional look at the inner portions of your leg veins to look for abnormalities, such as dysfunctioning vein valves and blood clots forming on the inner walls of your leg veins. It can be a little "spooky" to have such a good look inside your own body but most people find it fascinating nonetheless.
Varicose veins can cause leg cramps with no visible signs of varicose veins.
Some people don't seek varicose vein treatment, or even realize they have varicose veins, because they don't actually see the hallmark sign of blue or red twisted veins just under the surface of their skin. This problem arises from the fact that many varicose veins cannot be seen from the surface of the skin. Varicosity can occur in deeper veins and often do. It's also true that if you see just a few minor signs of varicose veins at the surface of the skin, you may actually have a much more severe varicose vein problem deep down in your legs.
We need to educate people more about the other signs of varicose veins than actually seeing them at the surface of the skin. Leg cramps is one of the main symptoms of varicose veins. The symptom of "leg cramps" can actually be expressed in a variety of ways.
You may have a feeling of "heavy legs." You may experience "restless leg syndrome" in the middle of the night.
Your legs may ache for no obvious reason, such as over exercising. You may just be sitting at your desk in the middle of the day and find your legs staring to ache. Your legs may also swell and or throb to the point they hurt and cramp. The only way to know for sure if any of theses symptoms related to leg cramps are indicative of varicose veins is to go to a varicose vein treatment and get a duplex ultrasound test that will give you the inside 3D picture of what is happening when you have leg cramps.
Leg cramps can be caused by several underlying conditions.
There are many causes for leg cramps, whether they be persistent aches or sudden "Charley horses" in the middle of the night. For example, people who don't drink enough fluids, and or who perspire a lot, may become dehydrated and this often causes leg cramps.
Deficiency in minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium can also cause varying degrees of leg cramps.
Intense physical exertion, like over exercising a long time on a treadmill or doing strenuous yard work in the hot summer sun can cause leg cramps, even days after you expend this extra energy and labor.
Certain medical conditions, other than varicose veins, such as diabetic nerve disease, other forms of peripheral neuropathy, osteoarthritis, heart disease, thyroid disease, and peripheral artery disease due to high cholesterol can also cause leg cramps. The only way to know for sure if varicose veins are the cause of your leg cramps is to go to a varicose vein treatment center and ask them to do a duplex ultrasound scan of your legs. Please note too that the causes of arterial disease are not the same as venous disease, even though both involve blood vessels.
Visit Metro Vein Centers for a free evaluation.
Metro Vein Centers is one of the best known and well respected varicose vein treatment centers in the United States. They have several locations spread across several states. Some people actually make plans to go out of state to visit one when they want the best varicose vein treatment possible.
It's worth going a bit out of your way to go to one of the Metro Vein Centers because they are all staffed with highly experienced vein doctors who specialize in this one area of medicine. If you think you might need varicose vein treatment, it's important to get highly specialized treatment in this area and not just depend on the advice of a doctor who may not deal with many cases of varicose veins each year and who may not be up on all the latest procedures available.

Hey All! It is hard to believe that it has been 3 months since we last updated our blog! Things have been quite hectic these last few months and there is a lot we want to share with you all. For one thing, this blog post is coming to you from the US of A! (More on that in the next post, which will hopefully come out next week.) But let's take a moment and review some of the stuff that happened since the last time we posted in December.
We were so happy to see our staff member, good friend and faithful disciple, Elizabeth, graduate from the University of Buea. I was honored to be asked to speak at the reception in her home. We thank God for some of the wonderful people with whom He has brought us into contact.
Thanks for those who helped send money for our school kids' Christmas gifts. I think you could say they enjoyed them!
We had another competition with our gym guys as the year drew to an end. The turnout was great and the guys really enjoyed it. Michael was our winner for the 3rd time in a row, squatting over 500 pounds and deadlifting 550. William, in the blue beside me is one of the faithful saints in Cameroon, and is a tremendous encouragement to me.
We were greatly blessed to have my parents out for Christmas and the New Year. The kids really enjoyed having grandma and grandpa around and we appreciated them coming in spite of the tense situation in Cameroon.
We had a fun barbecue/cookout for a large group of missionary kids from Rainforest International School who had come to climb Mount Cameroon in January. We really enjoy hosting people and encouraging through hospitality.
Brittney, Alima, and Hannah had a chance to travel to the West province of Cameroon to take part in a women's retreat in January.
Brittney got to teach and as always did a great job. Many were greatly encouraged by her presence there and also by Hannah, who was there for her 11th Birthday!
We received messages that schools were being threatened in early February. People were rushing to take their kids home, as we were told rebels were in the area. We brought the school kids down to our house, closed up school and had parents come and bring a change of clothes so the students could return safely home. Thankfully the threats never materialized and school could resume that week.
In February, we had a great opportunity for some of our staff to get trained in the ACE system that we use for our school.Elizabeth, Rosette, Lucy, Sophia and Mary all did a great job at the program.
Monday-Friday, our staff worked hard from 8 AM to 5 PM in an intensive Supervisor Training Program. It was such a blessing that this opportunity was available.
Our staff got to experience the life of their students, raising their flags, working on PACEs, taking tests, using a goal card, scoring and more.
A gentleman from Nigeria came and did an excellent job conducting the training. We are so grateful that God helped work this out, and for those of you who helped sponsor the training.
We also had a wonderful chance in February at the end of the 2nd quarter, to take the school kids to the zoo, and it happened on Jonathan's birthday too! We hired a bus and went town to Limbe.
The kids (and staff also) were fascinated by the animals at the zoo. God surely made some amazing creatures both great and small.
I may be biased but I think we have some of the cutest school kids around.
The Limbe Wildlife Center takes in animals that are illegally kept as pets and tries to rehabilitate them. Cameroon's wildlife is actually quite endangered as illegal hunting means we hardly ever see a wild animal. In fact, aside from birds, a few squirrels, lizards and snakes, I don't think I have seen any other wild animals in Cameroon in the past 6 years.
After the zoo, we went down to the beach at Limbe and had a yummy meal of roasted fish. It was pretty delicious. Many of our students had never left Buea, and few had been to Limbe, which is only about 20 miles from Buea.
We thank God for the chance to spend some fun time with our kids and enjoy the wonders of God's creation. So much happened in the last 3 months, we are humbled and grateful to our God who makes all these things possible. We also thank you all who help sponsor our students and school. You are making a difference!

Liz & Marshall Engagement - Water Works Philadelphia, PA
Meet Liz & Marshall, they are getting married this coming January, and I am so excited to be photographing their wedding. A last minute scheduling of their engagement turned into a 3-hour joy of walking around feeling the fresh breeze of the wind on the very first super hot day of the spring. We started our session at Water Work in Philadelphia and finished at Addison Street with some night lights, a block away from where Liz and Marshall live. I have lost count on how many times I have photographed at Water Works, and yet every session I shoot is unique, there is just so much to play with there, possibilities are endless! Here are few photos from our Engagement session in Philadelphia.

A Research on the Hadiths of Warning against Not Knowing the Ahl al- Bayt(A.S.)
Ayatullah Muhammadi Rayshahri
The hadiths that consider dying without having an Imam as dying in Jahiliyyah are agreed upon by all Muslims. Nobody can ever question the issuance of this remark by the Holy Prophet of Islam (S.A.W.).
Although there is difference of opinion in what is meant by it, the popularity and the authenticity of these hadiths is to the extent that the despotic leaders have failed to deny them, therefore they have misused it with distortions.
Allamah Amini having quoted these hadiths from authentic traditions and documents of the Sunnis:
It is an eternal fact that the Sunnis authentic traditions and documents have proved and there is no choice but to surrender to it, and the Islam of any man will not be settled unless through accepting its concept and content. No one came to disagree concerning this, and not even a single person has been doubtful about it. This concept indicates the dire end of those who die having no Imam and that such person is far from salvation and deliverance. Death in the age of ignorance is the most horrible death, a death with atheism and disbelief.
To interpret the noble hadith, the meaning of the Jahiliyyah or the age of ignorance must be clarified.
From the viewpoint of the Holy Qur'an and the Islamic hadith the age of the Holy Prophet's (S.A.W) prophethood is the age of knowledge and before his mission is the age of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), that is, before the HolyProphet's (S.A.W) mission people know no way to recognize the realities of existence due to the aberrations made in the revealed religions and what prevailed over various human societies in the name of religion was nothing than superstitions and illusions. In fact, the perverted religions and illusory beliefs had turned into tools for the domination of wealth and power over people, a reality confirmed by the pre-Islamic history.
The holy mission of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) was the beginning of the age of knowledge. His most fundamental duty was to combat superstitions and distortions and to clarify the truth to the people.
He regarded himself to be as a father to the people whom he would train and educate. He used to say: I am truly as a father to you, who teaches you.
His Holiness introduced his prophethood as a phenomenon in line with rational and scholarly criteria, which if sought to be studied by scientists his honesty in claiming to have relations with the origin of being could have been appreciated: "And those to whom knowledge has come see that the (Revelation) sent down to thee from thy Lord-that is the truth (34:6)
He would also discourage people from following what knowledge (ilm) dose not confirm and read them the ayah: And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge (17:36)
Considering the above lines, it becomes obvious that what is intended in the hadith of the necessity of knowing the Imam of any era is beyond an individual issue and is not just that if a Muslim does not know his Imam and leader he is not viewed as a true Muslim and thus his Islam equals disbelief. However the more important issue that this hadith warns about is that: The age of knowledge-started at the time of the Holy Prophet's (S.A.W.) mission-can continue only if the Muslims of any age be familiar with their Imam of that age and follow him. Briefly put: Imamate is the supporter and guarantee for the continuation of the age of knowledge or the age of true Islam, without which the Islamic community will regress to the age of pre-Islamic ignorance.
This hadith is inspired by the futurity outlook of the noble ayah:
Muhammad (S.A.W.) is no more than a Messenger: Many were the Messengers who passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will you then turn back on your heels (3:144).
The Holy Prophet of Islam (S.A.W.) said in a hadith confirming the necessity of knowing the Imam: How is it possible for the Muslim community to regress to the Jahiliyyah of the pre-Islam? This indicates the fact that eliminating the issue of Imamate and Leadership, the above hazardous phenomenon would be imminent.
Knowing Which Imam?
A slight deliberation on the content of this hadith particularly with consideration of what was said above - will leave us no doubt to search for the answer to his question: Which Imam's Imamate will guarantee the continuation of the true Islam, and elimination of which Imamate from the Islam, and the elimination of which Imamate from the Islamic community is a regression to Jahiliyyah?
Can it be supposed that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) meant that obeying anyone who has the authority to run the society is necessary and incumbent on all Muslims, and not knowing such leader will lead to dying as in the age of Jahiliyyah, regardless of the fact that such leader may be despotic or as the Holy Qur'an puts it, he may be among the "imams inviting to the Fire"?!
It is evident for all the corrupt rulers of the history of Islam to appeal to this firm hadith to prove the necessity of people's obedience to them and to solidify the foundations of their rule. Thus, it is seen that Mu awiyyah, the son of Abu Sufyan, considers himself as among the narrators of this hadith! It is also natural that the court mullas and the preachers in kings palaces interpret the words of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) and apply them to the Imamate of the despotic leaders, but it is obvious that this is mere wordplay rather than misunderstanding the concept of the hadith.
It can never be believed, as mentioned in the interpretation of Nahj al-Balagha by Ibn Abi al-Hadid, that Abd Allah ibn Umar refused to pedge allegiance to Imam Ali (A.S.) due to misunderstanding and lack of insight, but clinging to the hadith "Whoever dies without an Imam..."
which is narrated by himself, he went to meet Hajjaj Ibn Yusuf overnight to pledge allegiance to Abdul Malik Marwan, the then caliph!, for he did not want to spend a night without having an Imam! Ibn Abi al-Hadid writess:
Abd Allah ibn Umar refused to pledge allegiance to Ali(A.S.)
[During Imam Ali's caliphate] and nightly went to Hajjaj's house to pledge allegiance with Abd al-Mailk to avoid spending a night without an Imam.
He presumed that he had to do this for this it had been narrated by himself from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) that: Whoever dies and does not have an Imam he dies the death of Jahiliyyah. Hajjaj reproached and humiliated him to the extent that he stretched his foot out of his bed and said to Umar: pledge allegiance to my foot!
Anyhow, every one who does not admit to Amir al-Muminin Ali(A.S.) as Imam and does not pledge allegiance to him should inevitably view Abd al-Malik Marwan as an Imam, breaking whose allegiance would be tantamount to paganism and regression to Jahiliyyah, and should abjectly pledge allegiance during night to his brutal agent's (Hajjaj ibn Yusuf) foot! Abd Allah Umar went to the point that he declared Yazid the son of
Mu awiyyah with all his crimes and adversities against Islam and the household of the Holy Prophet as an Imam and a proof of the hadith "Whoever dies without an Imam..." and regarded opposition against him as disbelief and apostasy.
It is reported that following the tragedy of Ashura, the people of Madinah revolted in 63 A.H., which led to the Harrah incidence. Abd Allah ibn Umar went to Abd Allah ibn Muti who commanded this uprising. The latter ordered cushions to be brought for Abd Allah and beckoned him to be seated. Ibn Umar said: I did not come here to sit, but I came to relate to you the hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) say: The one who fails to obey an Imam, he will face Allah in a state having no hujjah and proof, and anyone who dies and has not pledged allegiance to an Imam, he has died the death of Jahiiyyah.
Look how skillfully they have applied the words of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.).contrary to what he had intended by them! It is the same dangerous phenomenon which the Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) has warned in this and dozens of other hadiths to be prevented and has called people to obeying the rightful Imams. The Messenger of Allah's (S.A.W.) warning is perverted by pseudo-Muslim politicians and their proxies; thus hadith is used against hadith and Islam against Islam.
And finally, negligence of Imam's status in the Islamic community and oblivion of the Holy Prophets(S.A.W.) instructions bring about the end of the age of knowledge and Islam in the Islamic community, and thus the return to paganism and Jahiliyyah ensues.
Therefore, what is meant by dying without having an Imam is like dying the death in Jahiliyah, is undoubtedly admonishing against failing recourse to love of Ahl al-Bayt whose significance is related to people in such hadiths as Thaqalayn, Ghadir, etc.

Timor-Leste's July 2017 parliamentary elections, and its earlier presidential polls in March, marked significant milestones for this island nation's young democracy. First, these were the first-ever Timorese-administered national elections since the country achieved full independence from Indonesia in 2001. Previous elections in 2001, 2007 and 2012 were held under United Nations stewardship as Timorese citizens struggled to find peace in the bloody aftermath of a 1999 independence referendum that displaced more than half its population and destroyed over 70 percent of its infrastructure. That the 2017 elections were peaceful, and by all accounts well-administered, is no small achievement for Timor's young democracy. In the words of Timorese Nobel laureate, Jose Ramos-Horta, the success of the 2017 polls means that "soon [our] elections will become non-events."
The 2017 parliamentary elections also were the first in which Timorese born after the country's 1999 independence referendum were eligible to vote, helping to usher into parliament a new youth-based party -- Kmanek Haburas Unidade Nasional Timor Oan (Khunto) – for the first time. Most of Khunto's supporters are between the ages of 17 and 30 whose concerns are jobs and economic uncertainty. This young party's success at the polls, backed by such a large demographic, could lead to new policies to address the needs of the country's economically disenfranchised youth. At the same time, fissures emerging in the country's de-facto governing coalition – composed of the nation's historically two largest parties, FRETILIN and National Congress for Timorese Reconstruction (CNRT) – could expand the space for smaller parties such as Khunto to form their own coalitions, emerging as a political force in the formation of the new government.
Many observers believe this would be a welcome change as there has been too little debate about a looming financial crisis once the country's oil and cash reserves are depleted over the next decade. As negotiations continue over the formation of a new government, the president has asked citizens to "continue to put their trust in the historical leaders [of the independence] and to "remain calm and serene while the parties seek a solution for the new government." The Catholic Bishop of Dili has also weighed in, telling NDI that the country's peaceful and orderly elections are "a school that people are learning from" and he hopes that citizens will "treasure the peace and work to protect it."

In the meantime, Timor's younger generation who witnessed the tail-end of the country's brutal fight for independence and the crises of 2006 have a peaceful election to celebrate. Watching children playing in a Dili park during the recent elections, a longtime Timor observer told NDI, "fifteen years ago, I couldn't have imagined when children would come out and play as freely as they do now." The transition to independence and multiparty democracy in Timor-Leste has been a long one for the Timorese.
Since the historic 1999 referendum that initiated Timor Leste's transition to independence and multiparty democracy, NDI has conducted programs to strengthen the country's civil society and democratic political institutions, promote citizen dialogue on the democratic transition process, and support nationwide civic education on constitutional development and political processes. In advance of the country's 2007 and 2017 presidential and parliamentary elections, the Institute helped to support the work of Timor Leste partner organizations to hold candidate debates, conduct citizen-led election observation, and help Timorese women to develop strategies to mitigate violence against women in elections.Regina de Sousa, leader of AFEABAD, a women's development organization in the municipality of Baucau, Timor-Leste, meets with NDI's Kirsten Zeiter to discuss Violence Against Women in Elections and Politics (VAW-E/VAW-P).

You wasn't happy, I should of known you would kill yourself. It's funny to think that everything is okay and I can be strong for mum and dad but I can't. I'm so sad, I cry to myself everyday just remembering you. The huge cuts I saw across your arm as we washed up dirty dishes a few weeks before you decided to leave my life forever. I know i'm an idiot, I wasn't a great younger sister but I have looked up to you my whole life. You were everything I wished to be and now you're gone. The sadness in this house never fades as dad hides his emotions, mum loses herself and I become more depressed. I guess it's best that you're not sad anymore but this family will never be the same.

All the flavour and crunch of Southern fried chicken…but made a whole lot healthier by baking! I love this SOUTHERN OVEN "FRIED" CHICKEN!
This is how the conversation went when my friend saw me editing these photos.
"Oooh! Fried Chicken – YUM!, he exclaimed.
Real Housemoms TV
"Nope, not fried. Baked," I said smugly.
"Bollocks," he retorted. "Are you being dodgy with your photos? Did you pick up KFC?"
"As if!!!", I exclaimed, indignantly. "You know me better than that!!! I swear, this is made in the oven!"
"Seriously??" he said. "You swear – you made these in the oven?"
YES. I swear. These are made in the oven. Are you as amazed as he was??
As insulted as I was that he would question my integrity, I was busting to prove that I wasn't lying (let's be honest, I just wanted to say "See? I TOLD YOU SO!") so I made it again the next day. Not that it was any sort of hardship, having to make it again. I could seriously eat this every day.
Because, my friends, the plain fact is this: I love fried foods. I have a theory that anything is made delicious by frying it. And I can't think of any fried food that I wouldn't happily munch on.
But as much as I love fried foods….I hate deep frying myself. Partly because I have a fear of frying (at my very core, I am quite a klutz) and also because I feel like it's a waste of oil.
So I have many baked versions of classic fried foods. This is one of my favorites, along with my KFC Oven Fried Chicken Tenders (seriously – tastes just like KFC!) and beacuse I don't bake everything… Chicken Fried Steak for the win!
Don't skip the marinating! It's key to get flavour into the flesh of the chicken. Promise me you won't skip it!
- 2 - 2.5 lb chicken thighs bone in
Spice Mix
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp paprika
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cayenne peper optional
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt & pepper
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup bread crumbs plain, not panko
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- Combine Spice Mix ingredients.
- Add half Spice Mix into the Buttermilk in a ziplock bag. Add chicken and marinate overnight, up to 24 hours.
To Cook
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Combine remaining Spice Mix with Coating in a bowl.
- Whisk eggs and milk in another bowl.
- Remove chicken from buttermilk, shaking off excess. Dip piece into egg, then coat in Coating. Shake off excess. Place on tray. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until deep golden brown and juices run clear when chicken is pierced.

Drug and alcohol abuse put the lives of countless people in the United States at risk every single day, but the damages go beyond what's being done to the lives of individuals.
Drug and alcohol abuse costs an estimated $520.5 billion in the United States every year in lost work productivity, health care, and crime (statistics via the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA): https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics#supplemental-references-for-economic-costs).
According to NIDA, an estimated $64 billion is spent on health care alone, and those costs show no sign of dropping in the near future. In fact, between 2007 and 2013, the cost of health care increased by more than $20 million.
The financial effect opiate and alcohol abuse has on our nation is astronomical – the $520.5 billion is larger than many nations' entire GDP, and is more than enough to buy every single professional sports team in the United States with more than a few billion dollars left over.
The fight against addiction is a difficult one, and our team here at Novus Detox® is ready to help you take the next step towards recovery. Send us a message through our online form to get your process started, or call us at (855) 464-8550 to have a confidential discussion with a member of our staff today.

The Village Connect staff | AFTER three (3) years of continuous roll-out of social health insurance benefit packages without any corresponding increase in premium contributions, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) announces that starting January 2018, employees and employers in the government and private sectors, including kasambahays and sea-based overseas Filipino workers, will be paying a little more for their social health insurance coverage.
Through Circular No. 2017-0024 published last October 27, 2017, PhilHealth announced the upward adjustment in the premium contribution rate for the Formal Sector as part of ongoing strategies to ensure the sustainability of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). The move is also expected to enable PhilHealth to continue providing its members with the existing health insurance benefit packages, and to introduce more packages, especially for the long-term.
Starting the applicable month of January 2018, the contribution rate shall be adjusted by 0.25 percent from the current 2.5 percent to 2.75 percent, applied straight to the monthly basic salary of employed members. The salary floor and the ceiling will be pegged at P10,000 and P40,000, respectively. The monthly contribution will still be equally shared by the employee and the employer.
The premium contribution of kasambahays is solely shouldered by their household employers, but those receiving a monthly salary of P5,000 or above, will have to pay their proportionate share.
According to PhilHealth Interim/OIC President and CEO Dr. Celestina Ma. Jude P. De la Serna, the premium adjustment is necessary to sustain the provision of all the benefits implemented from the previous years, and to enable PhilHealth to develop new and better benefit packages for its members.
"We need to respond to the needs of our 100 million-strong membership base, especially where providing financial risk protection against emerging, re-emerging, communicable and non-communicable diseases is concerned," De la Serna said. "The adjustment in premium contribution rates will provide us with enough fiscal space to introduce more benefit packages, such as offering the Primary Care Benefit package to all other member-sectors, and to enhance existing ones," she said.
Republic Act 7875, as amended by RA 10606, also known as the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act of 2013, allows PhilHealth to collect up to five (5) percent of the employee's basic monthly salary.
De la Serna emphasized that the agency's move is based on sound actuarial studies and that in the last three years, the agency has not increased its premium contribution rates for the Formal Sector but rolled out several benefit packages including those intended for catastrophic illnesses that required prolonged and expensive treatments."PhilHealth have paid billions in benefit expenses and at end of 2016 alone, the benefit payouts have reached P101 billion," De la Serna added.
