Can You Claim Disability for "Burnout" or Intense Workplace Stress?March 06, 2021
No matter how much we love our jobs, there can come a time when the job is causing so much stress, you may not want to even get out of bed and head into the office. Burnout, a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion due to prolonged, excessive stress, can leave you feeling overwhelmed, unable to meet demands, and drain you emotionally. It is a form of depression, something that Canada recognizes as a disability and therefore you can claim disability for "burnout". However, getting disability for intense workplace stress can be complicated.
Before we examine if or when you can claim stress leave disability benefits in Ontario, let's clarify what stress leave is: an extended period of time granted to an employee to take time off work, in order to deal with or recover from stress-related illnesses, injuries, and other difficult circumstances. Following changes to the Employment Standards Act in 2019, stress leave in Ontario has had to be availed under sick leave. For prolonged periods of time not covered under EI's sick leave benefits, we'll look at your options regarding disability benefits for stress leave or "burnout" in the sections below.
Workplace Stress and Sick Leave
People who are burned out and suffering from depression are often fearful that they will lose their jobs. In Canada, an employer can terminate an employee as long as they are not discriminating against the employee and give proper notice. Few, however, will fire an employee for needing sick leave as human rights laws in the country require employers to help those who have medical conditions that may interfere with their job duties. If you are struggling and looking for short-term disability for burnout employers are required to give sick leave as a reasonable accommodation.
Your employer can require a doctor's note and may require that you submit new notes every three to six months.
Burnout and Disability
If you become unable to work at all due to stress and burnout and disability, you do have options. We got asked all the time, 'Is stress leave covered by EI?' In Canada, you can apply for Employment Insurance (EI) sickness benefits as well as short- and long-term disability insurance. There is also CPP disability and workers' compensation. It is important to understand how each of these works in order to claim disability for burnout.
Workplace Stress EI Sickness Benefits
Another question we get quite often is 'Can I go on short-term disability for stress?' There are many situations in life that can cause us to feel stressed out to the point of not being able to function and handle our day-to-day tasks at our jobs. This leads individuals to be in need of short-term disability due to stress. One way that you can get disability for workplace stress is through EI sickness benefits which are for temporary disability. These benefits cover short-term disability stress leaves in Canada. If you apply for a stress disability claim the federal government pays 55 percent of your salary for 15 weeks if you qualify for EI sickness benefits. You must have paid into the EI Sickness program recently in deductions from your paycheque. If you received a cheque from an employer, the deductions are automatic so you would have paid into the program.
You can apply through Service Canada online in the comfort of your home. Your doctor will need to fill out a form confirming you cannot work for those 15 weeks and your employer must issue a Record of Employment to confirm the leave you take. However, if you qualify for short-term disability, you cannot claim both EI Sickness and short-term disability benefits at the same time.
Burnout Short-Term Disability Benefits
In order to claim disability for burnout for a short period, you may want to apply for short-term disability benefits. Under this type of benefit, you will receive 50 to 67 percent of your salary, and the payments last between 15 and 17 weeks, although you could be approved for longer periods. Payments are usually made bi-weekly. Your employer usually offers these benefits through an insurance policy our outside agency who will manage your payments. Keep in mind that not all employers offer short-term disability and if they don't, you may qualify for EI benefits instead.
In order to file a claim for short-term disability for burnout, you will need to ask for a form from your employer. This form is in three parts as one is for you, one for your doctor, and one for your employer. It is your responsibility to have all three forms completed and returned. If the company denies your claim, you can request what is known as an "internal appeal" which will allow someone else in the company to review your claim. You are permitted up to four of these appeals. If you are still denied, you may need to file an appeal with the courts.
Burnout Long-Term Disability Benefits
Burnout long-term disability benefits are designed to provide assistance for a longer period than short-term or EI benefits. Your policy will provide information on how long the benefits can last, which may be 2, 5, or 10 years. They may also provide an age when the benefits will end which is usually 65. Burnout long-term disability benefits pay 50 to 67 percent of your salary and are paid monthly rather than bi-weekly. Like short-term disability, a company other than your employer may manage this benefit.
If your employer does not offer this benefit, you can purchase a plan through a private insurance company but you will have to have that policy in place for a certain period before you can claim disability for workplace stress. If your claim is denied, the appeal process is similar to short-term disability.
CPP Benefits for Workplace Stress
If your workplace stress has led to a permanent disability, you may qualify for CPP benefits which will pay until you are 65. Payments range from $600 to $1,300 per month based on how much you paid into the program. The more you paid in, the more your benefits will be. The deductions are automatically taken from your regular paycheque, so if you had a job that paid you regularly, you paid into the program.
In order to qualify, you must have a certain number of credits which are earned by splitting with a former spouse, paying into another country's pension plan or if you left work to raise a child. You are able to get long-term disability and CPP at the same time, although the long-term disability company is permitted to offset your payments based on the CPP benefit. For instance, if you receive $500 in CPP benefits, your long-term disability can be reduced by $500. You also must prove that your disability for burnout is severe and prolonged. To file a claim, you must fill out the forms and have your doctor fill out a medical report. This is then sent to Service Canada.
Workers' Compensation for Burnout
It is possible to file a workers' compensation claim for workplace stress, but it is important to note that it is difficult to prove your depression is a workplace injury. Before 2018, workers' compensation only recognized mental health claims that were caused by a single workplace incident, not chronic stress. However, in January 2018, Ontario implemented a new policy allowing claims for chronic mental stress to be considered a workplace injury. Not all insurance companies have adopted this, so you will need to speak to your employer about the possibility.
If you are dealing with extreme workplace stress and hoping to file a stress disability claim, contact us today to learn how we can help. You can arrange for a no-obligation consultation by filling out the easy online form or giving us a call today.

I like this product and have been unable to find it in any local stores. I did think it was a bit expensive compared to what I originally paid for it in the store, but I really like the product and I am glad to be able to find it.
No side effects for me so far. I take two in the morning and the only thing I've noticed is a tremendous urge to pee. I have a pretty long commute and I usually have to stop at least twice I've dropped two pounds after a week of use though I'm also doing whole30 so not sure where the weight loss is coming from. Also, I crash pretty hard around 5pm, but that could be due to the whole30.
I received Card Studio 2011 and it was as described. However it would not install on my Windows 8.1 PC. It went about half way, stopped,and then aborted. Based on my experience I would not recommend this software to others that have a Windows 8 PC.
I love this car seat. For the first six months of my son's life I listened to him screaming until he hyperventilated everytime we rode in the car. I eventually just stopped going places, as I had tried everything (mirrors, toys, video devices, feeding before driving, not feeding before driving, driving when sleepy, driving when wide awake) to get him to enjoy car rides. It was such a stressful time. He was a very small baby ( under the 1st percentile) so I was hesitant to switch to a convertible from an infant seat. I am so glad I did. The maxi cosi is sleek (for a car seat) seems comfy, easy to clean, and my child either sits in it peacefully and looks around, or falls asleep which is a far cry from his former "gotta make sure it sounds like I'm being tortured" self. The tiny fit made the transition simple and less intimidating for my small baby. If I have another child I will most likely skip the infant seat all together and go straight to the Maxi Cosi. This car seat has quite literally made my days as a mom much happier. It also fits well enough in my Prius. The front seat is pushed up a but more than I would like if I had a passenger, but that's a trade off I'm happy to make for a peaceful drive.
I don't think I have ever heard a rapper be more vulnerable or genuine than J. Cole is on this album. Cole had set precedent for that sort of openness and honesty on his previous albums and mixtapes, but 2014 Forest Hills Drive is a step beyond that. This album is really personal, but not didactic.

text: The world offers learners a seemingly infinite number of word-to-world mappings (Quine, 1960). In order to account for how learners manage to accomplish such a difficult task, theories of word learning have proposed different tools that make the task of learning words easier. However, we propose that reducing difficulty may be detrimentaldifficulty may promote long-term word learning. We tested this hypothesis in a cross-situational paradigm in which object-label mappings were ambiguous during each learning event. The three conditions of learning (2 x 2, 3 x 3, and 4 x 4) varied in the degree of difficulty. Results revealed that, although difficulty deterred immediate performance, difficulty promoted long-term performance. We suggest that theory and research should shift from focusing on in-the-moment learning to examining both immediate and long-term learning. A complete theory of word learning not only accounts for word learning in the moment and on each time scale, but also integrates them in order to understand how they influence each other over time.

Workshopping in Kashmir
Pandies has been doing the impossible, doing theatre in one of the hottest, continuous conflict torn zones in the world, Kashmir. Extremely challenging and almost incredible. And pandies has been doing it with the warring communities, the Kashmiri Muslims and Kashmir Pandits together. Primarily in partnership with the Kashmir based organisation Yakjah, and spread over fifteen years, pandies pioneer (almost exclusive) theatre work in the conflict torn zone of Kashmir forms an important chapter in the history of theatre.
In the preceding fifty years, theatre in war has emerged as a sub genre in itself. Does theatre have a special place in zones of conflict? Does it acquire special meanings when it takes place in times of war? The two together would seem to constitute an oxymoron, it seems impossible to do theatre in times of war. Pandies workshop theatre in Kashmir exists in an intersectional zone - workshop theatre on the one hand and intrepid theatre in zones of war and conflict ops the other.
It critiques war, looks at the people who suffer during war, making a critique in the Brechtian mode, shows the anti people aspect of wars. Distancing them from the immediacy of destruction it tries to mitigate the amount of suffering. Ambitiously it even tries to get the warring peoples together to see each others point of view. Taking a developmental veneer and focusing on the next generation, it looks forward to a more cooperative future.
Today as we sit in a post 370 abrogation India, it becomes essential to recount the 14 years of intense praxis of workshop theatre in Kashmir by the pandies. A complex of socio-political happenings provides the context for pandies theatre in Kashmir (2000-2014). In Kashmir's history these are the years of Mufti Muhammad Syed's People's Democratic Party (PDP) taking over the government reigns in Kashmir. These are also the years that witness increased militancy in the valley – brutal violence and brutal suppression. In India's political history these years chronicle the increasing stranglehold of the BJP-led NDA over the national politics (1999 - 2004) and then the re-emergence of the centrist UPA, led by the Indian National Congress (2004 -2009 and 2009 - 2014) to only give way again to the NDA with its supremacist politics. It also seeks its co-ordinates in the pandies' increasingly aggressive position against right wing fundamentalism.
- 2001 onwards - Workshops with youth in Kashmir valley and Jammu. Separate work with Kashmiri Muslims and Kashmiri Pandits
- 2002 November Theatre Festival including plays from Jammu at British Council, Delhi.
- 2003 December pandies festival at Dilli Haas, Delhi, having plays by youth from Delhi and from Jammu and from orphanages of Kashmir.
- 2005 June A rare combined 6 day theatre workshop of youth, Kashmiri Muslims and Kashmiri Pandits. It culminated in a performance in Srinagar on the 8th day
- 2011 August Jammu University Bhaderwah campus. Three day workshop for college teachers and students
- 2014 April Sonamarg: Rehab workshop theatre with Stone pelters from Sopore
The first integrated phase of theatre in Kashmir can be located from 1999 to 2005. It started with sporadic workshops in Jammu and the Kashmir valley, moved on through a series of festivals of plays in Delhi to a rarest of rare combine workshop of Kashmiri Pandits and Kashmiri Muslims in Gulmarg to intermittent creative exercises including an extremely rewarding experience in the Bhaderwah University. and a workshop with (in)famous stone pelters of Sopore.
Difficult to measure, this is a theatre of possibility, opens possibilities of political solutions, it remains incomplete in the traction of all great theatre. Not about impact but possible methodologies of getting on not there.

Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren's exorbitant healthcare plan would reportedly spike taxes in GOP-led states while reducing them in Democrat-led ones.
At the moment, millions of businesses across the country pay directly for their employees' health care. Warren's plan calls for these payments to instead be redirected to the federal government via a new tax.
But according to Justin Haskins of the 35-year-old Heartland Institute, this tax would burden red states more than blue states. Why? Because the tax would be based on each state's current healthcare costs.
Elizabeth Warren's health care plan is a giant crony scam designed to help blue-state businesses and destroy businesses in red states. Please read and share! #MedicareForAll @ewarren https://t.co/iLUOjYHLkq
— Justin T. Haskins (@JustinTHaskins) December 9, 2019
"Over time, an employer's health care cost-per-employee [tax] would be gradually shifted [from their current value] to converge at the average health care cost-per-employee nationally. That helps make sure the system is fair but also gives employers and employees time to adapt to the new system," Warren's plan explicitly reads.
As a result, businesses that reside in states which currently boast lower healthcare costs would wind up paying more, while businesses in states with higher healthcare costs would pay less. The problem, according to Haskins, is that red states generally boast lower premiums while blue states generally boast higher premiums.
"The Kaiser Family Foundation reports the average annual family premium per enrolled employee paid by businesses in 2018 was $16,108 in Warren's home state of Massachusetts. But the average family premium per enrolled employee is less than $13,000 in several states, including Georgia, Idaho and Mississippi," he wrote for Fox News last week.
"Warren's proposal would push health care costs down by thousands of dollars in higher-cost states while increasing costs dramatically in lower-cost states. And guess what? By a remarkable coincidence, people in the lower-cost states are far more likely to vote for Republicans."
But it's not just red-state business owners who'd pay more. So would everyday red-state Americans.
"One of the reasons this tax increase is going to hit people in red states is is that it's a tax on employers," National Taxpayers Union senior fellow Mattie Duppler explained during an appearance Saturday morning on Fox News. "We know that a tax on employers is actually a tax on wages, and that means low-income workers actually bear the brunt of this kind of taxation more than even a higher-income worker."
"So if you look at a state where job creation is fairly robust, there's a lot of opportunity for entrepreneurship, those are the states that are really going to feel the burden of this new tax, because it means every new employee for a business is going to be a big tax liability for that business. I think the obvious consequence is that there'll be less hiring and less economic activity as a result."
And all thanks to Warren's plan.
But is all this coincidental or purposeful? Haskins believes it's the latter — a purposeful scheme designed to punish her enemies while enriching her allies.
"There's a reason her proposal is designed to shift costs from some businesses to others: It would provide huge benefits to businesses in blue states while punishing businesses in states that traditionally vote for Republicans," his column continues.
"Of the 10 states with the lowest average annual employer contribution for a family health insurance plan, eight voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Of the 10 states with the highest premiums – including Washington, D.C. – seven voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and eight voted for President Barack Obama in 2012, including highly populated deep-blue states like New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Illinois."
This, he alleged, is proof that Warren's plan is a purposeful plot by her and her Democrat allies "to punish their political and economic 'enemies' while consolidating power close to home."
All predicated on the guise of fixing so-called inequality.
The result would be money being siphoned from prospering red-state communities and funneled to troubled blue-state ones.
Meanwhile, the remainder of Warren's radical proposals — from her wealth tax to her ultra-millionaire tax, corporate profits tax and rollback of President Donald Trump's tax cuts — would damage the American people en masse.
"The real challenge for Elizabeth Warren is that has said repeatedly that this won't hit the middle class — and it absolutely would," Duppler explained on FNC. "It would in the form of this new employer tax. Her wealth tax, of course, would have a huge impact on the stock market, and people who have their pensions and retirement in the stock market would certainly feel that impact."
"So when Elizabeth Warren says that it's going to be a targeted tax increase, what she actually means is it'll be a tax increase on average Americans, and it will be widespread."
Correct. And even some of the most left-wing, Warren-friendly media outlets, including CNN, have admitted as much — that, specifically, no matter how she tries to spin it, the implementation of her radical plans would require raising taxes on ALL Americans:
Warren has promised she won't raise taxes on the middle class to finance "Medicare for All" and highlights that people would save $11 trillion — but that's not completely tax-free. Americans of all incomes would fork over $1.4T more in taxes over 10 years. https://t.co/jKe70HvsFw

Help, Guides, and News on making the Switch To Apple Macintosh Computers
Apple Sales Exceed Expectations
Apple Computer Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs stated at Macworld 2006 that sales for Apple's December quarter exceeded expectations on strong demand for the company's iPod music players. Revenue for the quater came in at $5.7 billion, well above the $5.04 billion average estimate of analysts. In addition, the company's retail stores posted revenue of more than $1 billion for the first time in their history. Shares soared to a record high following the announcement.
Apple Computer sold 14 million iPods and 1.25 million Macintosh computers during the quarter. Apple has sold a total of 42 million iPods and 850 million iTunes songs since the launch of each product. The 14 million iPods sold in the December quarter represent 33 percent of all iPods sold by the company. An amazing metric demonstrating that demand for iPods is surging and that the company is not seeing a slow down in demand for it's music players. Apple now has an 83 percent share of the legal music download market.
Mr. Jobs also unveiled new Intel microprocessor powered Macs a full six months ahead of schedule. Jobs also indicated that all Apple computers will have Intel chips by the end of 2006.
Jobs also unveiled the new MacBook Pro notebook based on Intel's Core Duo processors. The system runs four to five times faster than the company's prior PowerBook notebooks and will begin shipping in February. Prices start at $1,999. Orders can be placed at the Apple Store.
I would expect to see a continuation and strengthening of the "iPod Halo Effect", the idea that the popularity and strong sales of iPods to Windows PC owners translates into increased Macintosh computer sales
It's clear that Apple experienced a new wave of iPod sales during the 2005 holiday shopping season and this provided addition fuel to drive the "iPod Halo Effect". This is demonstrated by the sale of 1.25 million Macs, marking the fifth straight quarter of at least 1 million Macs sold. It's likely that a significant percentage of those units sold were from consumers who purchased thier first Macs. Apple is gaining market share demonstrated by these numbers and by the increase in Safari market share.
Consumers and businesses are making the Switch to Macintosh computers and OS X platform. With these new systems and the popularity of iPods, I expect the Switch trend to continue and to gain momentum.

CALGARY — Despite a recent uptick in oil prices, analysts believe Canadian oil companies are preparing to unveil one of the worst financial results in recent years in what is being diplomatically described as "a rebuilding year" for the oilpatch.
Earnings season in the domestic oilpatch begins this week and is expected to show the depth and severity of the COVID-19 induced oil price crash. The quarter will reflect a period when crude oil prices crashed into negative territory for the first time in history.
On Tuesday, Prairie Sky Royalties Ltd. kicked off the results, reporting a 59 per cent drop to $28.2 million in revenues for the second quarter, compared with the same period a year earlier when it reported $69.3 million in revenues. The company swung to a net loss of $400,000 in the quarter, from $44 million in net income a year earlier.
Companies that produce oil on the company's royalty lands "shut-in approximately 30 per cent of PrairieSky's net oil production volumes in response to volatile crude pricing with shut-ins peaking in May at over 40 per cent," company president and CEO Andrew Phillips said in a release. The company stock surged 6 per cent to $8.77 per share on Tuesday in a broadly positive market.
Suncor Energy Inc., the biggest Canadian energy company by market cap, reports late on Wednesday, Cenovus Energy Inc. on Thursday, while Husky Energy Inc., Imperial Oil Ltd. and embattled Athabasca Oil Corp. report next week. Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., the country's largest oil and gas producer by volume, will release its earnings on Aug. 6.
Whereas the first two months of the first quarter saw benchmark oil prices trading in the US$50 to US$60 range, the second quarter has seen prices barely climb over US$40 per barrel. Indeed, on April 20, as the contracting period for next-month oil deliveries was set to expire, the West Texas Intermediate oil price collapsed to –US$37.63 per barrel, marking a historic drop for crude markets.
"With WTI breaching zero in April, to say (the second quarter of 2020) was a challenging quarter for the energy patch would be a meaningful understatement," CIBC World Markets analysts wrote in a July 15 research note, which called 2020 a "rebuilding year" for oil producers.
WTI rose 3 per cent to US$42.20 per barrel on Tuesday on the back of European Union's US$856 billion stimulus package and hopes of a vaccine. The Western Canadian Select heavy oil blend also traded up US$1.13 per barrel, or 4 per cent, Tuesday to US$32.71 per barrel.
Analysts have described the oilpatch's expected results as "unprecedented," "the ugliest" or "the worst" as companies tried to survive the coronavirus collapse in crude prices, a dramatic reduction in demand for refined products and an oil-price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia.
"Definitely Q2 will be the ugliest as far as seeing the real impact of COVID-19 and what that did to commodity prices," Edward Jones analyst Jennifer Rowland said, noting that she expects cash flows at major North American oil companies to be down 60 per cent compared with a year ago.
By contrast, cash flows were down 20 per cent in the first quarter compared with a year earlier — which at the time resulted in some major losses for major companies.
Rowland said that gasoline and diesel prices also fell dramatically in the second quarter, which would leave refining margins down 50 per cent year over year, Rowland estimates. "There really was no place to hide," she said.
As oil prices collapsed, refineries turned down their run rates and commuters stayed home; oil production companies across North America shut in their wells and began producing less oil.
The combination of these factors caused a "downward spiral" in cash flows among oil companies, Rowland said. "The cash flow numbers can get pretty small, pretty quickly."
So, while the first quarter was bleak — Suncor, for example, reported a $3.5 billion net loss — most analysts expect the real extent of the pain to be disclosed in the second quarter.
"Everyone is expecting it to be more difficult for the numbers than in Q1," Eight Capital analyst Phil Skolnick said.
Skolnick thinks the market has already priced in brutal results from major North American producers in the next few weeks given the decline in refining activity, oil shut-ins and historically low crude prices. "You put all that together and it makes for a negative quarter-over-quarter event," he said.
S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index remains down around 49 per cent this year, compared to the broader S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index which has clawed back some of its steep losses and is down just over 5 per cent for the year.
As oil and gas companies begin to report their earnings, Skolnick said he's watching to see how deeply companies cut their production, whether they brought all that production back online and how much debt companies added to survive the oil price collapse.
Rystad Energy estimated the total volume of Canadian oil shut in during the pandemic was 1.14 million barrels of oil per day.
But as oil prices rebounded, Canadian oil producers reversed their oil production cuts more quickly than expected, Peters & Co. analysts wrote in a July 13 research note.
Latest data from the U.S. Department of Energy shows that Canadian oil exports to the United States, its largest market, dipped below 3,000 barrels per day in May for the first time since December 2017, before rebounding to 3.17 million bpd by the week of July 10.
The industry's total production remains below capacity, however, as companies such as Canadian Natural chose to use the period of low oil prices to embark on maintenance at their facilities.
Peters & Co. analysts note that Imperial Oil Ltd. is also considering rescheduling some of its planned maintenance at the Kearl oilsands project from the fall to the summer for the same reason.
Peters' analysts recommended Canadian Natural and Cenovus as their "best ideas" among Canadian and U.S. large-cap oil producers as the industry navigates through one of its most testing periods.

text: In Illinois many personal injury claims have a 2 year Statute of Limitations during which the claim must either be settled or a lawsuit filed. However, there are many exceptions to the 2 year rule and if they apply to a particular fact pattern then the injured party may be barred from proceeding with a lawsuit seeking money damages for their personal injuries. This means it is absolutely essential for an injured person to consult with a qualified Illinois attorney as soon as possible after being injured so that they preserve their legal rights to seek compensation for their injuries.

Knowing how to play soccer is one thing, but continuing to learn more skills is how you make progress with your game. This article is here to discuss some major tips that you can take with you to the soccer field. Think about the following advice, and use it to better your game.
The part of the ball you kick is crucial in soccer. If you kick too high on the ball, it is not going to go very far. On the other hand, kicking the bottom of the ball will just make it go high in the air. It is best to aim for the middle.
A good move to practice is the Outside Elastico. This is a good way to do inside cuts when on a flank spot. Practice it by placing a shoe or bag on the ground. Place yourself approximately five steps from the marker. Start to dribble towards it. Once you come near the cone, touch the ball on the outside and then inside as quickly as possible. Outside touching is the move that fools opponents. Remember, the second touch has to be larger than the first.
Look for numerical advantage on the field. You want to pass the ball to a player who is near others from your team rather than a player who is surrounded by defenders. Talk to your team about this strategy and encourage them to form groups in an empty area so you can easily gain a numerical advantage.
Try using the element of surprise on your opponents. Try not to make your moves so obvious. For example, try putting the ball near the back of the previous defending line while your teammate runs to receive your assistance. Then, try changing your running rhythm, starting quick until your opponent comes at you, then stopping. They'll stop too, which gives you time to increase your pace again, so that they're left anchored.
When it comes to learning penalty kicks, practice makes perfect. Practice one type of kick until it becomes second nature and then move on to the next type of kick and practice it until it too becomes second nature. Continue practicing different kicking styles until you have at least 6 kicks that you can use when kicking a penalty kick.
While it is important for soccer players to work on a regular basis, you should make sure to take a day off at least once a week. You need to take some time off to allow your tissue to rebuild. Once your day of rest has passed, you can resume your regular schedule.
Increase your reflex time by doing this exercise. Stand on a sturdy structure that is approximately three feet off the ground. Jump off the object and land in a squat position with both of your feet planted on the ground. Quickly stand up and run as fast as you can.
If you are a parent or coach, never scream anything at a player while they have control of the ball. This may distract them and make them fumble a bit. The best thing to do is to allow them to make the pay, then encourage them to do better if it was not done well.
When it comes to goal keeping, equipment is important. One of the most important pieces of equipment for a goalie is their gloves. These gloves not only help them catch the ball, but it also protects their wrists and fingers from injury. The gloves should be made of a heavy grade latex for best gripping and protection.
Surely you now feel much better with the acquired soccer knowledge from this article. You can now get out there on the soccer field and have fun utilizing the tips that have been described. No matter how far you go with your passion for soccer, learning the necessary skills will help you have much more fun.

What is your dream? What is that one thing that you always wanted to do? Maybe you would love to be a writer or architect or traveller or programmer or police officer. I am not talking about the childish dream when we change our decision quite often. I am talking about that dream from your teenage years. When you start to think about what is that you would like to do in life. Who you would like to be.
Most likely, because the adults advise that this is not good for you or it will not bring you stability and money in life, you bury this dream deep in you. You stop talking about it, you stop being excited about it, you stop dreaming about it. But this dream is still there. It is still in you. And I want to tell you something. You have all, that it takes to achieve it. Otherwise, you would not have it.
You get that dream, even if you think you discovered it yourself. It was imprinted in you. You just by your experiences and observation get to the point when you realise that this is it. And then, you started to be excited. Share your vision, of what you would like to be and do, with everyone. Your parents, grandparents, uncles, aunties and, if you were a very open person with your friends, and even with strangers you met.
The ideal would be if they will get excited with you and support you with that dream. Yet…Let's be honest. Most likely they either laugh at you, make a joke about your dream or straightaway told you this is stupid and so on. But, hey, you are an adult now, you can do whatever is that you were dreaming of. I am telling you, you have everything that it's needed to make your dream come true. Just allow yourself and go for it. It is your dream. It is your gift to the world and people.
Be positive. Be blessed. Peace out.

Press Releases
Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) released the following statement after the Senate passed a resolution to end U.S. involvement in the Yemen civil war:
"As long as the United States continues to back the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, we'll continue to see horrible bloodshed. It's past time to end our support for this unending war.
"For more than three years, the United States has provided the aerial refueling, intelligence and weapons necessary to continue a conflict that has directly killed up to 60,000 people.
"Even more horrific is the humanitarian crisis that has unfolded. More than 85,000 children have starved to death and millions more are on the brink of that same fate. This tragedy is the result of the coalition's targeted attacks on Yemen's infrastructure and blockade of its ports.
"For too long the United States has turned a blind eye to the coalition's actions, including the recent bombing of a school bus full of children. Today's vote is an unmistakable signal that the Senate is paying attention and won't support continued U.S. involvement."

Estate sales usually accompany a major life change—a death in the family, divorce or a cross-country move, for example. Because estate auctions are most likely to happen during periods of emotional unrest, it's often challenging to think about hiring an estate sale company with a clear head. Exercising extreme caution while choosing the estate company that you'd like to work with, however, can help you ensure that you're making the right decision and working with an estate company that has your best interests at heart.
Often, if you're having an estate sale, you have a limited amount of time that you can spend before you need your items gone. That's why it's advisable to conduct your research in advance, and have an estate auction company in mind before you find yourself truly needing one.
Choosing the right company offering auction services in Maryland can be challenging, but here are a few simple tips you can follow to help you make the right selection:
- Conduct research: The first thing that you should do is conduct a thorough amount of research regarding all of the estate sale companies operating in your area. You should carefully analyze their policies and their reputations, and be sure to identify a company that seems capable of meeting all of your needs.
- Check references: You should check the references and reviews of the company that you think you're going to hire for your estate auction. The reputation of an auction company determines its ability to draw in a crowd, so you should check reviews from both sellers and buyers alike.
- Ask for accreditation: The estate sale company that you're working with should carry all of the necessary state and local licenses, as well as industry association memberships.
- Check the marketing strategy: You should have a thorough understanding of the marketing strategy used by the company providing your auction services in Maryland. You should be able to count on them to provide you with a quality marketing strategy designed to bring out a strong showing.
- Interview the appraiser: Ask lots of questions of the appraiser and the auction company staff. You should feel totally confident with your decision to hire this company to perform your estate auction. If you're second guessing your decision after interviewing the staff members, you should probably move on with your search.
- Ask for a contract: The estate sale contract clearly outlines the charges levied by the company performing the auction, and outlines a range of potential outcomes. You should always ask to review the contract prior to agreeing to work with an estate sale company.
Since 2008, Jane Campbell-Chambliss & Associates, LLC has been a premier provider of auction services in Maryland. You can count on us to provide you with quality estate sale services designed to liquidate your unwanted assets and provide you with the best possible return on your investment.

Here's how to make the orange marmalade from "Paddington" at home
Welcome to the first cooking Friday of July! Up to this point in the series, we have only made dishes from Disney movies here at Cape & Castle. However, in honor of our site's recent expansion, we are exploring a new neighborhood for the first time—Windsor Gardens! This week, we are stepping off onto the platform at Paddington Station and whipping up a jar of orange marmalade!
Paddington (2014) is one of those movies that is so 'marmaladen' with magic and enchantment that you might forget Disney didn't make it. A blueprint for wholesome storytelling, the film paints Paddington as a bear stuffed with far more than just polyester toy fluff.
Paddington might be a pure ray of sunshine, but he is no stranger to pain. Orphaned as a cub, Paddington was raised by his Aunt Lucy and Uncle Pastuzo in the deep jungles of Darkest Peru. At the beginning of the film, an earthquake ravages Paddington's home, physically and emotionally, as a falling tree takes the life of Uncle Pastuzo.
Beware Potterheads: this scene might be too painfully reminiscent for you to watch. Michael Gambon voices Uncle Pastuzo, so if Dumbledore's death destroyed one of your soul's Horcruxes, get ready to lose another.
Fortunately, Paddington finds a home in the Brown's after Aunt Lucy goes to The Home For Retired Bears and sends him off to London. A beautiful portrayal of the found family trope, Paddington brings joy into the lives of the Brown's—and an entire prison in the sequel—by encouraging others to be accepting of those who are different, livening their imaginations and by making lots and lots of orange marmalade.
He is a walking testament that those who continue to love radiantly in the face of loss, disappointment and despair are the bravest and most heroic of us all.
Now, every time I see someone with a hat on, I imagine that they are storing a marmalade sandwich under it in case of an emergency. Paddington was putting headwear to proper use.
To make the marmalade, we used a recipe from masalaherb.com! You can find it here! If you are not familiar with the term marmalade, you may mistake it as being synonymous with jam or jelly. However, marmalade, jam and jelly all require separate culinary approaches, as the inclusion of fruit skin in marmalade makes it the most textured of the bunch.
Requiring only two ingredients making marmalade is a low-stress endeavor where the stove does most of the work for you. And while orange marmalade is used primarily as a sweet spread on toast, the preserve is a delicacy in a wide range of dishes from pork chops to vinaigrettes and doughnuts!
With so many possibilities, it is no wonder the power of orange marmalade helped defeat Paddington's big bad, Millicent Clyde. Not many movies can say they successfully utilized orange marmalade as a symbol of joy and hope. Sorry Gatsby, but your green light is old news.
Also, may we never forget this wholesome interaction between Florence Pugh and Paddington's Twitter accounts about marmalade.
What other dishes would you like to see us make? Let us know on Twitter and make sure to share with us what cinematic dishes you are making @capeandcastle! Be sure to also check out our site for more articles on all things Disney and beyond!

Just hours after Chicago police arrested two Nigerian brothers named "persons of interest" in the ongoing Jussie Smollett assault saga, a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department announced the brothers have been released from custody.
What are the details?
The brothers, who police apprehended at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport Wednesday as they re-entered the United States, were released from police custody late Friday night. They were not charged with any crimes.
CPD spokesman Anthony said investigators were compelled to release the brothers after new evidence surfaced.
"Due to new evidence as a result of today's interrogations, the individuals questioned by police in the 'Empire' case have now been released without charging and detectives have additional investigative work to complete," Guglielmi said in a statement.
Additionally, police no longer consider the brothers "suspects" in the case. Their release comes one day after police raided the Chicago apartment the men shared. Investigators did not reveal whether they discovered evidence linking the men to the alleged crime.
The brothers — who are acquaintances of Smollett and have ties to "Empire," the hit TV show Smollett stars in — had been booked on suspicion of assault and battery, TMZ reported Friday.
Is the assault a hoax?
Smollett alleges he was attacked early on the morning of Jan. 29. He told police two masked men — who he originally said were white — attacked him, yelled homophobic and racial slurs at him, tied a rope around his neck, and poured a chemical substance on him.
According to WLS-TV, "multiple sources" have said police are investigating the possibility the attack was staged. However, police publicly deny that fact, citing a lack of evidence to suggest a hoax.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson told WLS investigators still currently consider Smollett a victim.

Is your checkweigher accurate?

Durable dynamic checkweigher use in industry.
Checkweigher use in industry
In order to comply with regulatory requirements and achieve accurate operation, the accuracy of the checkweigher needs to be tested. In this article, we try to use the simplest language to explain how the user of the checkweigher should accurately measure and determine the accuracy of the checkweigher.
In any weighing equipment, there are two kinds of errors that can have a significant impact on the accuracy of the equipment. One is repeatability, and the other is accuracy, which is the accuracy of the weighing result compared to a known weight (such as a weight). These two parameters are also the only two comparable parameters for dynamic checkweighing (online automatic checkweighing) and static weighing (static scale). In some documents, you may read some other parameters, such as environmental conditions, temperature, measurement uncertainty, product properties, tare weight, air buoyancy, and so on. Forget all these parameters, we will use the products that need to be checked in the environment for testing.
There are two small tests that can help you use your dynamic checkweigher with peace of mind, but before introducing these two small tests, we must first point you to two wrong practices.
The biggest misunderstanding of online checkweigher testing is to use the method of calibrating a static scale to test the checkweigher. Stop the conveyor belt, place an object on the weighing belt, read the weight, and see if the weight you know matches. This approach is completely wrong. When the conveyor belt is turned on, the checkweigher will vibrate more and run in a moving state, which will bring more errors and cannot be directly compared with the test results in a static state. This is why the sensor of the dynamic checkweigher needs to be specially designed to meet the specific accuracy requirements. In fact, the value obtained by placing the object in a static state is only used by the service engineer as a starting reference point for determining the dynamic weight. For example, when an automatic checkweigher is at rest, the weight of an item is 500g, and when the checkweigher is moved, it weighs the same object, and the weight obtained becomes 502g. At this time, the checkweigher needs to be calibrated, minus 2g. Generally speaking, the current checkweighers can place static reference objects, then compare and automatically adjust this value.
Another wrong approach is to take an object of known weight, such as a weight, and read the value through a belt to confirm whether the scale is accurate. Even if the weight of this weight is equal to the weight of your product, it may cause large errors due to its dynamic properties (such as different lengths and shapes) during belt transmission.

Gold's Demise Continues in Asian Trade
Posted Thursday, August 16, 2018 by

Rowan Crosby • 1 min read
Gold has opened down again in Asian trade. It has been one of the worst performers in recent times and so far it is down a further 0.5% to get things moving early on.
Just having a quick look at the daily chart we can identify a few quick downside targets that we might be seeing some support.
1171 – where we currently are should give some buying interest.
1146 – minor support
1127 – MAJOR swing low
I'm looking for a move to 1127 as that is the swing low and I feel that price will be sucked to this level.

I love a good movie. One of my favourites is The Devil Wears Prada. I love following the story of Anne Hathaway's character Andy and her time working for one of the largest fashion magazines. Although she certainly got off to a rocky start. Remember Andy's interview with Miranda Priestly? It's fair to say she certainly didn't make the best first impression. She hadn't heard of the magazine and didn't know who Miranda was. Let's also not sugar-coat the fact she didn't have impeccable fashion sense. Nevertheless, lucky for her she ended up landing the job and the rest is history.
Whilst Andy's interview wasn't the best start, there is a few things you can do to ensure your interview goes smoothly. You've sent off your resume and based on your experience and education, you've secured an interview. Yay!! The interview is really your time to shine. It's not every day that you go for a job interview, so you need to take some time and plan for a successful outcome. To avoid making a first impression like Andy, here's 5 tips to ensure you ace the interview and land yourself that job.
- Presentation
Let's face the facts! People make a judgement about you within the first 30 seconds of meeting you. First impressions count and this is especially important when you are at a job interview. Whilst it's unrealistic to think you can control what other people think of you, however you can make sure you are presenting yourself in the best possible way.
Dress to impress! I know there are plenty of workplaces that encourage casual dress, but the interview isn't the time to show your casual wardrobe. Leave the jeans at home and put on some smart corporate attire. Ensuring you are dressed professionally for the interview sends a positive message about you.
2. Be on time
Being on time is basic courtesy and says a lot about you. It goes without saying but ensure you know where you are going. Take some time to know your route. Will you be travelling via public transport or driving? Traffic can be chaotic and there can be unexpected delays with public transport so it's best to build in some contingency time to avoid extra stress. Plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early. There are times when sh*t happens and you are delayed due to circumstances beyond your control. Be sure you have a contact number in case you are running late and phone to let the interviewer know you've been delayed. Whilst being late for your interview isn't ideal, your potential new boss will be understanding if you've called ahead to let them know.
3. Research the company
With so much online these days, there is really no excuse for not conducting research into the organisation. In most interviews, you will be asked what you know about the organisation. At a minimum you should know what your company does and be able to confidently answer this question. What are their values or mission? Spend some time on the organisations website to learn as much as you can about them as your knowledge will be tested.
With the professional networking site of LinkedIn, it's also a good idea to review the profiles of your interviewers. It helps you to understand their background and also to know how long they have worked for the organisation.
4. Engage with your interviewers
From the moment you meet your interviewers, make eye contact with each person and address each person by name. Similarly, when you answer a question talk directly to all interviewers, regardless of who is asking you the questions or who is more senior. I've interviewed many people in my career and it always amazes me how many people only talk to the person who will be their boss. It's important to engage with each interviewer as each person who is part of the interview will be asked their opinion about you. I've often placed more importance on what my team members or peers think of the candidate, so don't think that your new boss is the only decision maker. Connect with each person in that interview!
5. Ask questions
Always, always, have a few questions to ask. An interview is a two-way street, so asking questions is important for you to clarify something, understand more about the organisation, the job or environment you will be working in. Try to have at least three questions ready. These could be about the culture of the organisation, your potential boss's management style or key objectives to focus on in your first three months.
Taking the time to plan and prepare for your interview helps set you up for success. These simple tips will help you put your best foot forward in your next job interview and secure your next role!

One of my proudest moments as a journalist came in 1977 when, with three other journalists, I co-founded the Centre for Investigative Journalism/Centre pour le journalisme d'enquête, the first pan-Canada journalists' organization; this was a time when the Canadian news media was focusing on covering press conferences and producing fluff. The CIJ helped spark a sea change toward more serious and enterprising work. The Centre eventually evolved into the Canadian Association of Journalists. (My role is described in Behind the Headlines: A History of Investigative Journalism in Canada, by Cecil Rosner, Oxford U. Press, 2008.) I have also been vice-president of the Fédération professionnelle des journalistes du Québec.
Journalistic books:
City for Sale: International Financiers Take a Major North American City by Storm (1977) investigates the global financial and industrial interests that drive 1) the "manhattanization" of major cities and 2) the growth of suburban sprawl. This is the first time the ownership of such interests, which is in many cases secretive, has been identified and analyzed anywhere. Using Montreal as a case study, the probe included more than 400 interviews in seven countries. It documents how the same ownership has been often involved both in the real-estate interests at the forefront of car-reliant sprawl and also in the fossil-fuel and automotive industries that thrive from such a pattern of development. The investigation is still relevant after four decades: its various findings are the subject of the 2018 award-winning documentary Cities Held Hostage and the French version, Mains basse sur la ville. (The book is published by James Lorimer & Co. Published in French as Les vrais propriétaires de Montréal by Éditions l'étincelle.)
Le Monde diplomatique: "A passionately interesting and extremely useful investigation with global ramifications."
Washington Post: "A valuable public service."
Le Journal de Génève (Switz.): "After penetrating an incredible spiderweb of corporate ties, the reader will discover the identities of those who build the world's big cities… Throws new light on the leaders of the Western world's economy."
The Globe & Mail (Toronto): "Amazing… Fascinating revelation of the interlocking interests… Aubin has written a valuable book: rich in insights, and disturbing in its implications."
Montreal Gazette: "An extraordinarily impressive work, both in its uniqueness of concept and in its thoroughness. This is investigative journalism at its best — unparalleled in what it teaches us about our cities and ourselves."
Le Devoir (Montreal): "Magisterial."
Who's Afraid of Demergers? The Straight Goods on Quebec's Megacities is a primer on issues involved in the June 2004 municipal referendums that gave 213 towns across Quebec the capacity to free themselves, or "de-merge," from their forced merger into 42 cities. Popular protests over these amalgamations, imposed by the provincial government in 2002 without consulting the municipalities in question, made this the biggest municipal crisis in Quebec's history. The protests were particularly heated in the Montreal area, where 28 suburbs were amalgamated with Montreal against their will; such was the furor that the provincial government reluctantly allowed former suburbs to hold "demerger" referendums. As a Gazette columnist, I was the only commentator at any of Montreal's four daily newspapers who was consistently critical of the mergers; in more than 80 columns, many of which are collected in this book, I defended the idea of modest-sized communities on grounds of cost-effectiveness, political accountability and citizen involvement. (Postscript: Indeed, subsequent years saw costs in the enlarged Montreal soar, services decline, and its voter turnout wane; meanwhile the 15 suburbs that used the referendums to break away from Montreal have done relatively well.)
The Chronicle (a weekly): "A tip of the hat… to Aubin, whose analysis of the demerger issues does an absolutely spectacular job of outlining the outright lies and fear mongering used by the pro-merger movement, [which is] aided and abetted by most major media… The book is a serious must-read…. It will, no doubt, serve as a treasure trove of ammunition that can be used by ordinary citizens [in the referendum campaigns]. "
The Suburban (a weekly): "Aubin's strength… lies in his ability to cite examples drawn from across North America to reinforce his basic premise: the closer a government is to the people, the more the [government and people] care about one another… [Aubin's book] rekindles all one's anger at the way the forced mergers were rammed through the [provincial] legislature. As he reminds us, they were the anti-democratic last gasp of a morally and intellectually bankrupt [provincial] government."

Long-distance runners from Highlands and Summit Charter schools laced up their sneakers for a preseason cross country scrimmage on Saturday in Highlands.
Highlands boys and girls teams ended up taking first place running the approx. two-mile course with the fastest race times.
Highlands Coach Derek Taylor said a scrimmage is not an official meet, but a warmup for the conference opener that took place yesterday at Swain.
Summit Coach Gretchen Kapity said they were missing a chunk of their team on Saturday with three boys and one girl who could not attend. For the Summit girls who did attend, it was their first time competing in a cross country race and Kapity said they did a great job.
"We have a great, young team this year," said Kapity. "I am excited that we get to run at all and am already looking forward to track in the spring!"
This year's cross country season began about three months later than usual because of COVID-19 restrictions.
Teams could not officially begin practicing until Nov. 4; and coaches, athletes, support staff, and media all must adhere to clearly defined guidelines from the North Carolina High School Athletic Association in order to participate.
Kapity said the 2020 season will not include as many meets as a regular season, but runners are looking on the bright side and enjoying the cooler weather.

What Am I Going to Do Today?
9:39 PM | Posted by Scott | Edit Post
My marriage vows are all about what I am going to do.
surrendered marriage?
The first kind of surrender involves giving your marriage, your self and your spouse over to God. This is what I refer to as the vertical surrender in marriage. That's a topic for another post.
Today I want to focus on the horizontal surrender in marriage. In essence, this kind of surrender means the surrender of self. Self-centeredness, self-protection and self-reliance don't fit in a surrendered marriage. Surrender, in this context, means not looking so much to your rights as to your responsibilities and to the good of your relationship. At times it may involve laying aside your personal preferences, sacrificing your self for the sake of your spouse and for the good of your marriage.
Surrender is not necessarily easy, but it is hugely rewarding.
If couples could really get this, I mean really learn to live lives of surrender, each unto the other, it would radically alter the course of their marriage journey for the better. That is a big promise, but I honestly believe that this kind of mutual surrender creates a wide pathway to a strong, passionate and intimate marriage. It's why I do what I do here.
My Wedding Vows Point to Me
Think for a moment about your wedding vows.
We used traditional vows at our wedding. The vows I made to my wife before God and the witnesses gathered there are all about what I promise to do. There were no ifs, ands or buts. There were no escape clauses or convenient outs. I promised to love my wife, for better or worse. I pledged to care for her, whether we be rich for poor. I made a covenant to stick by her side that includes times of sickness and times of health.
Over our 32 years we've seen both ends of the spectrum of good times and tough times. If you are like most couples, you probably have too. Whether you used a traditional form of vows, as we did, or wrote your own, the promises you made point to the choices YOU vowed to make and the things YOU pledged to do for your spouse. I'm pretty sure you didn't include any ifs, ands or buts in your vows either.
You and I, when we said our vows, we said, in essence, "I'm in this for keeps, no matter what." We believed our love was worth it, and we committed to endure any hardship.
I love how Danny Silk writes about this in his book Keep Your Love On.
A healthy, lasting relationship can only be built between two people who choose one another and take full responsibility for that choice. This choice must be based on who they are, what they want, and what they are committed to doing as individuals.
Traditional marriage vows express the nature of this choice beautifully. The two people standing at the altar do not say, "You will. You will love me and cherish me in sickness and in health, till death do us part." And they don't say, "I will love you as long as you love me. I will be faithful to you as long as you are faithful to me." Their vows are all about what they are going to do. "I will love you. I will protect you. I will serve you. I will be faithful to you, no matter what.Every Day is A New Set of Choices
None of us are perfect at this surrendered marriage thing. We are all going to struggle with the many "selfs" that want to creep in. Self-focus is as easy and natural as breathing in and out. But we don't have to live self-absorbed. We have choices.
I'm thankful that every day I have a new set of choices before me when it comes to how I'm going to approach my marriage. God's mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23). So I start each day with a fresh dose of grace to live the marriage I want to have instead of the marriage I used to have. Hold fast to this fabulous truth.
Choose today to focus more on your half of the marriage equation than on your spouse's half. Think of one small action you could take today that would bless your husband or wife? What choice can you make today that would put your relationship ahead of your personal preferences?
Don't worry about how your spouse will respond or if they will respond with a similar kind of selfless surrender. You can only control only your end of the vows. Remember that you pledged "no matter what." It doesn't matter how or even if they notice.
Refuse the bait of offense when your actions go unappreciated or unnoticed. Yield your feelings of offense to God and press on. Tomorrow, you will have another set of similar choices to make.
When you screw it up, and you will, forgive yourself. Give yourself the same grace God gives. And move on.
Today, and every day, ask yourself, "What Am I Going to Do for My Marriage Today?"

My Wish
Your feet are the foundation on which your tall body is mounted. Get alert if your affected foot begins to feel rigid, solid, heavy, spastic, and no longer pliable & begins to turn inwards & drops or slaps while walking demanding your constant attention. Do not accept the problem as part & parcel of the stroke. You can certainly avoid it.
Be alert if your leg becomes a simple prop, barely supporting you while you are walking. Get alert in time before your brain accepts it in the long-term memory & makes it as permanent.
In the brain everything is connected to everything else & therefore if your foot gets spastic it influences your hand from recovering so please do not look at the arm recovery separate from the leg. Any use, abuse, & misuse of the leg is certainly going to reflect on your arm.
Do not misunderstand the bent elbow, hooking wrist with finger fisting as a sign of good recovery, it can be a spastic abnormal posture that prevents the arm from reaching out easily, smoothly, energy effectively & economically. Splints may not be a good idea for your spastic wrist & finger, as it can add on to the spasticity by providing constant passive stretch to the already tight muscles.
Constant use of good side to sit, stand & walk with external support may give you short-lived independence but it also gives you most undesirable lifetime of functional division in the one whole integral self.
Get alert when you need to focus very highly to complete simple daily movements. Stop doing unnatural movements because general movements are highly automatic effortless & spontaneous, and true recovery is to achieve automatism in your daily movements.

Exercises for Brain Stroke in Vasa Concept
What does an exercise mean for a patient with brain stroke?
For a stroke patient exercise means that his brain must be made to exercise to restore the lost sensory motor control. It is important to remember that paralysis and the weakness in the muscle is because of brain lesion and muscle is simply a victim and not the root cause of the symptom therefore victimizing the muscle further by acting on the muscle alone not only does not help return of lost control but may abuse the muscle resulting into abnormal movements, spasticity, rigidity, paraesthesia, abnormal sensation, neglect which may become difficult to reverse with passage of time unless brain is helped to re-reorganise.
For a stroke patient what exercises must not be done is as important as what must be done.
Do's & Don'ts for Stroke Patients
Incorrect understanding about exercises and wrong input to the recovering brain turns the recovery into development of abnormal movement.
Pessimism about brain stroke recovery is not so uncommon among the health professional. This must not be allowed to become contagious to the brain stroke patients & his support system.
Some experts, out of ignorance announce to the patient – "it takes time" patient waits for months & years in great despair when instead of normal movement what appears is the abnormal movement making the condition permanent for the rest of his life.
Recovery can continue even after years of stroke.
