By now, most Live Action News readers have heard the tragic news that Ireland (with assistance from pro-choice forces in the United States) has voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment, which had, for decades, protected the right to life of preborn children. News reports on social media showed jubilant celebration from pro-abortion advocates just after the vote was tallied.
But any rejoicing over abortion is ill-advised. After all, it has never ended poverty or stopped child abuse, spousal abuse or rape. It has never ended economic disparity, racism, or sexism.
Instead, it has created an entire industry that cares little for assisting women with real solutions. The women and men of this industry sell their souls and become slaves to profit.
(Warning: Contains images of abortion victims.)
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar loftily speculated to the New York Times that women in Ireland will now endure "[n]o more stigma. The veil of secrecy is lifted. No more isolation. The burden of shame is gone."
But if Varadkar is correct (and he isn't), then Ireland will have accomplished in hours what 45 years of legalized abortion still hasn't accomplished in the United States. Simply travel to a local abortion facility and you can observe first hand that women do not arrive smiling, nor do they exit dancing. Instead, what you will see is a number of raw emotions — from doubt to anger to confusion. Some women are in tears as they leave, and most do so with their heads held low. This is hardly a picture of a shameless or guiltless movement.
Today, decades after the U.S. Supreme Court ushered in the infamous Roe v. Wade decision, despite the futile efforts of the pro-choice lobby to promise that women who seek this so-called "medical procedure" will feel liberated, testimony from women who have chosen abortion says just the opposite. As is the case when abortion is legalized, new found "liberation" eventually gives way to the realization that abortion truly is as horrific as pro-lifers have always claimed. When the "veil of secrecy" is lifted, it reveals an incredible evil.
I learned this first hand in the 1990's when I found aborted children who had been illegally discarded in the trash. I held the broken bodies of these precious children, and what I felt in that moment was far from a liberating feeling. What I witnessed was violent, bloody, and gruesome — and not just for the unborn children. Over the years, I helped to document how countless women left these so-called safe and legal abortion facilities in ambulances, and others who died later, and at least one who bled to death in her car on her way home.
The fallout became even more of a reality for me when I attended the funeral of Carolina Guttierez, who suffered a serious infection as a result of her abortion, leading doctors to amputate parts of her body in an attempt to save her life. Sadly, the infection won, and Carolina, as well as her preborn child, became statistics and calculated "complication risks" in the abortion battle.
Women who embrace this so-called "right" may unfortunately find themselves in Carolina's situation, or perhaps that of Cree-Erwin Shepherd, who also died after her legal abortion, which she sought at a Planned Parenthood in recent years. In the video below, Cree's brother describes what took place:
Today, the names of these deceased women have been conveniently forgotten by the U.S. pro-choice lobby, who consistently ignore the fact that legalizing abortion does not necessarily make it safe. Some women dancing in the streets of Ireland this week could, along with some women in the U.S., become the next victims of abortion, sacrificed along with their children on the altar of "choice."
Once the floodgates of abortion are opened — in any country — it leaves in its wake nothing but heartache and tears, because it does not solve a woman's problems; it adds to them.

Remembering abortion victims retrieved from trash dumpsterPosted in Aborted Baby Trash, Carole OpEd, OP-Ed with tags aborted babies, Abortion, abortion victims, disposing medical waste, garbage, Pro-Life, Roe V Wade, trash duumpster on March 8, 2016 by saynsumthn
The number of abortions committed since it was legalized in 1973 is so astronomical that many people cannot begin to wrap their minds around it? As abortion tragically weaves its murderous roots deep into American society, it is easy to become calloused. That was apparent at another point in history when Rev. Gilbert Haven looked back on slavery and wrote, "We are so familiar with the word Slavery, that its real scope and character do not smite the eye with true horror." These words ring true today in a society which tolerates the evil of abortion.
Those of us who have been in the pro-life battle for many years can sometimes get so overwhelmed at the numbers of abortions that we need to be reminded that every abortion takes the life of one, very precious baby. That reality was never more true to me, than the day I personally found aborted babies. Strange as it is, there are only a handful of pro-life people who have experienced this first hand. Interestingly, it was my interest in the Nazi Holocaust which motivated me to search for these precious children. As I would watch documentaries of the Holocaust, I remember asking myself, "Who took that picture?" As I contemplated the horror of that time in history, I knew that had those images never been released, the world would never have known the true evil that took place.
And, with that in mind, I prayed to the Lord that if aborted babies were being thrown in the trash, that He would lead me to where they were so I could have the honor to offer the babies the dignity of my tears along with a humane burial. So, a friend and I began to do what we called back then "Dumpster Diving" to see if we could find any babies that were being thrown away and we did. The process of uncovering these children was daunting. We pulled their broken bodies from the trash over a period of weeks and meticulously removed each identifiable human part from the mass of bloody gauze that held their tiny body inside each container.
I will never forget the very first gauze sac I opened and what I saw. There inside the gauze sac was a fully formed arm. I wasn't shocked because I knew what abortion did. I think I felt overwhelmed almost in denial that what I was documenting was part of the largest genocide in American history. I knew, that one day, people would look back on this and ask why we allowed this to take place on our shore.
As you can imagine, we continued to uncover pieces of babies, victims of early, suction abortion. Those precious lives which began in the safety of their mother's womb were brutally killed and then laid to rest inside a trash dumpster. The callousness of that kind of brutality haunted me for a long long time. I remember thinking to myself, "I wonder if each mom knows that their baby was thrown in the garbage by this abortion clinic."
But, aborted victims from early abortions were not all we found. In the bottom of the bag were pieces of a baby we estimated to be in the second trimester. That child's foot was one of only a few parts thrown away by the clinic in that garbage bag. We never found the rest of that child.
It takes love to do what we do to rescue these kids and I admire each person who dedicates themselves to see them protected. It is easy to let the years discourage us to give up – and every time I feel that way, I take out these pictures of what I call, "my babies" and I recommit myself to never quit. Each and every little person we defend is a unique individual, not a statistic or an "issue" and we can never forget that God knows each one by name.
To encourage myself in this battle for life, I often look to others who faced injustice in their time and glean strength from their sacrifice. One such story of bravery took place in 1942 when Hans Scholl, a medical student at the University of Munich, along with his sister Sophie, and other brave young people founded the "White Rose" movement. This movement was one of the few German groups that spoke out against Nazi genocidal policies.
Sophie and her brother along with others in the "White Rose" movement committed themselves to speaking out about the evil of their day, writing this to their fellow students, "We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will not leave you in peace!"
In an amazing amount of wisdom for such a young woman, Sophie described those she felt did the most damage in their response in their failure to stand against the Nazi Holocaust:
"The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive.' The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don't want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes.Those who won't take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don't like to make waves—or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only literature."
Does this sound like the average American where abortion is concerned? For their courage, Sophie and Hans Scholl and another member of their White Rose group, Christoph Probst, were executed on Feb. 22, 1943.
On the day we held a funeral for the aborted babies we retrieved from the trash dumpster, we encouraged every man, woman, and child to come forward and to lay a rose on top of the tiny baby casket which held their broken remains. It did not take long before my eyes filled with tears. In what I would describe as one of the most emotional events I have ever been part of, I began to weep uncontrollably like I have never cried before. It was at this time, that I felt the full impact of what I had witnessed and as long as we keep showing the truth of abortion, others will feel it as well.

Kermit Gosnell activity happening at highest levels of Planned Parenthood says DaleidenPosted in Center for Medical Progress, David Daleiden with tags aborted babies, Abortion, Abraham C Cabebe, Babies Born Alive, born alive, Center for Medical Progress, Dana Loesch, david dal, David Daleiden, Dayle Steinberg, Dorothy L Furgerson, Dr. Ron Berman, heart, Holly O'Donnell, Kermit Gosnell, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte's Alameda c, Ronald Berman, vaccines on August 20, 2015 by saynsumthn
On Wednesday's Dana Loesch show Center for Medical Progress lead investigator, David Daleiden called what was revealed in his latest video exposing Planned Parenthood's baby parts operation "Kermit Gosnell activity."
The latest video, number 7, is horrific and shows eyewitness Holly O'Donnell, a former StemExpress procurement technician describing the day she was called upon to remove brain tissue from a baby born alive, with his heart still beating after a Planned Parenthood abortion.
"It is Kermit Gosnell activity happening at the highest levels of Planned Parenthood," Daleiden told Loesch.
Gosnell ran the Philadelphia House of Horrors abortion facility and is serving time in prison for severing the spines of babies born alive.
One of the interesting facts that came out about the Gosnell case was that many within the abortion industry knew what he was doing and remained silent.
In fact, according to media reports, leaders from local Planned Parenthood affiliates knew exactly what was going on:
CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania Dayle Steinberg began her association with Planned Parenthood in 1978 as a graduate intern, joined the full-time staff in 1981, served as director of surgical services from 1986-1992, then served for eight years as senior vice president, and was appointed president and CEO in 2001.
In February of 2010 WHYY reported that Steinberg denied knowing of any of the horrific conditions at Gosnells' abortion clinic. They wrote: Steinberg: We do anticipate that women who might have scheduled appointments for abortion procedures at the Women's Medical Society will be calling Planned Parenthood. and then reported, "Steinberg says she knows that Gosnell has provided abortions in Philadelphia for many years, but says she hadn't heard of any problems at clinic until the allegations surfaced in recent days."
But later, according to Philly.com : Steinberg said this about Gosnell at a public fundraiser: "Steinberg said that when Gosnell was in practice, women would sometimes come to Planned Parenthood for services after first visiting Gosnell's West Philadelphia clinic, and would complain to staff about the conditions there.
"'We would always encourage them to report it to the Department of Health,' Steinberg said as she sat with Steinem before Tuesday's events."
Despite her obvious contradictions, the media is publishing statements by Steinberg regarding Planned Parenthood's gruesome operation. Case in point is an August 2015 op-ed where Steinberg accuses the Center for Medical Progress of editing the videos. She also details the many vaccines made from the body parts of aborted children.
Her words were published by Philly.com which read in part:
Although none of the Planned Parenthood health centers in Pennsylvania is participating in fetal-tissue donation programs, we recognize their deep value. The polio vaccine was developed from fetal kidney cells, as were vaccines against chicken pox, rubella, hepatitis A, and shingles. So, too, were treatments for diseases that include Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. And thousands of women who chose abortion have found great comfort and a sense of social good from donating fetal tissue to advance medical treatments that save lives. According to an article published by the New England Journal of Medicine, "Virtually every person in this country has benefited from research using fetal tissue. . . By using the public's unfamiliarity with the history and realities of fetal-tissue research as a back door for attacking Planned Parenthood, abortion opponents have added millions of people to the collateral damage of the abortion wars."
Daleiden described Planned Parenthood Mar Monte's Alameda clinic in San Jose, CA., where O'Donnell was when she removed the brains from an intact born alive infant, as the largest Planned Parenthood facility with a $100 MILLION dollar a year budget. (Keep in mind they also receive tax dollars) and their latest (2012) 990 report indicates this is true:
That same report lists Dorothy L Furgerson as the Chief Medical Director.
Does this name ring a bell? It should, Dorothy L Furgerson endorsed StemExpress and was listed on their brochure claiming a financial profit for those who utilize their services.
In addition to Furgerson, the 990 lists "physicians" Abraham C Cabebe and Karen Webster.
A 2008, 2009 and 2010 990 for the same Planned Parenthood affiliate lists Ronald Berman and Jesse Joplin.
Berman is a StemExpress Medical Director who is also a Planned Parenthood abortion doctor accused by former procurement technician, O'Donnell of getting aborted babies, "viciously fast." Telling CMP investigators that she imagined Dr. Berman literally, "going into the room, lifting the covers, going in, grabbing and walking out. Like that's how fast it is, it's ridiculous."
Daleiden told Loesch that four Congressional committees have opened up investigations into Planned Parenthood. He said lawsuits from StemExpress as well as NAF has not deterred him from releasing some of the most horrific aspects of CMP's investigation.
Despite the horrifying video evidence, some people still support Planned Parenthood.
For further consideration, the Daily Signal has published a video explaining all of the concerns raised by the videos to date. Watch it here.
$465K from Komen to Planned Parenthood which harvests baby partsPosted in Komen, Planned Parenthood and Komen with tags aborted babies, Aborted Baby Body Parts, Abortion, breast cancer, Center for Medical Progress, Eugenics, funding, Komen, mammograms, Planned Parenthood, selling baby parts, SKDKnickerbocker, Susan G Komen on July 29, 2015 by saynsumthn
Breast cancer non-profit Susan G. Komen said in a July 2015 press release that their Affiliates fund "breast cancer screening and outreach programs" at 11 Planned Parenthood centers in local communities, with grants totaling $465,000.
This mammogram page from Komen's website updated the July of 2015 shows Komen referring to Planned Parenthood:
Yet, pro-lifers have documented that Planned Parenthood does NOT perform mammograms!
Komen came under fire in 2012 for funding the abortion clinic chain to the point that they removed the organization from their list of grantees. But, they soon reversed that position and apologized agreeing to fund Planned Parenthood once again.
A 2014 report by the LA Times revealed how much support Komen lost from the Planned Parenthood controversy:
with its release of its latest financial statements, the cost of that decision can be measured: It's more than $77 million, or fully 22% of the foundation's income. That's how much less the Dallas-based foundation collected in contributions, sponsorships and entry fees for its sponsored races in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, compared with the previous year. The raw figures are these: In the most recent fiscal year Komen booked $270 million; the year before that, Komen booked $348 million.
Last year's decline was a continuation of a slightly longer trend. In fiscal 2011 the organization collected $367 million. Komen officials are candid in attributing much of last year's sharp decline to the Planned Parenthood controversy, though they also point to the general economic slump. Participation in the group's signature Race for the Cure events is also down.
Despite being founded in racist eugenics and covering for pedophiles, Planned Parenthood has recently come under fire after their top medical doctors were caught on camera admitting to gruesome practices of harvesting the organs from the babies they abort.
The undercover videos from the Center for Medical Progress have been going viral causing Americans to express outrage and demanding that Planned Parenthood be investigated and defunded.
The third video released shows the aborted babies inside Planned Parenthood's path lab and have left American breathless to the evil this organization commits.
Now, blogger Jill Stanek has discovered that Planned Parenthood has hired crisis management firm SKDKnickerbocker "as it scrambles to deal with the ongoing scandal"
This after their original PR Firm sent out a statement calling the grisly operation of trafficking in human baby parts "humanitarian undertakings."
Abortionists in India fed aborted babies to dogsPosted in India with tags aborted babies, abortion couple, abortion doctor, Dogs, Dr Sarawati Munde, Dr Sudam Munde, fed to dogs, Fetus, foetuses, India, Lek Ladki Abhiyan, Varsha Deshpande on June 22, 2015 by saynsumthn
Anti-abortion activist Varsha Deshpande works to save girls from abortion in India.
According to India Today, the Lek Ladki Abhiyan, a movement started by her, has carried out 42 sting operations against diagnostic centres and maternity homes conducting sex determination and abortion based on it.
In 2014, the sting operations resulted in no less than 18 convictions leading to 494 cases being lodged, which ended up in 64 convictions.
Lek Ladki Abhiyan is now claiming that a doctor couple who ran an illegal abortion clinic in Marathwada town of Beed, fed the aborted fetuses to dogs.
According to TheHindu:
The sting revealed a horrifying act — the doctors disposed of aborted foetuses by feeding them to dogs.
Shailaja Jadhav, who was part of the operation and whose statement was recorded by the divisional magistrate in September 2010, told The Hindu on the phone: "During the operation, Mr. Munde told a five-month pregnant woman, who was acting as our decoy, that there was no legal concern. He said they had dogs downstairs and they would eat the foetuses."
"We were so shocked that we went down to check and we did find two dogs feeding on aborted foetuses. The whole scene was so revolting I could not sleep for two days," Ms. Jadhav said.
More the The Deaccan Herald:
Lek Ladki Abhiyan, the NGO that exposed the doctors' activities in 2010, claimed that Dr Sudam Munde and Dr Sarawati Munde –who were given six years prison term for a 2010 illegal abortion case— also dumped the foetuses in a nearby well.
Dr Sudam, an MS (Surgeon), and Dr Sarawati, an MD (gynaecology), were convicted in three cases of Pre-conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection Act) registered in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Varsha Deshpande from Lek Ladki Abhiyan claimed that Dr Munde had boasted about conducting abortions and feeding the foetuses to five of his dogs during a sting operation by her NGO in 2010.
"They have never been out of bail since 2012….the effective sentence in this case would be around four years," Deshpande told Deccan Herald.
She alleged that the Mundes in the last 25 years could have easily carried out close to 90,000 to one lakh abortions. "They used to see 90 patients daily and conduct around 25 operations. People from across Maharashtra used to visit them for abortions," she said.
"They had four dogs in the hospital complex….15 in their field and also they used to dump aborted foetuses in wells," she said, adding that her NGO had requested the CID to dig the wells.

Incinerating Aborted babies for electricity is HitleresquePosted in Aborted Babies for Electricity, Aborted Baby Body Parts, Aborted Baby Trash with tags aborted babies, Aborted Babies for Electricity, biohazard waste, Body Parts, Bryan Fischer, Bud Waterman, burning, Covanta Marion, electricity, fetal tissue, Hitler, Inc., Incinerator, Life Dynamics, Mark Crutcher, Moloch, Nazi, Oregon, Stericycle Inc, waste to energy on April 24, 2014 by saynsumthn
CBS News is reporting, that the electricity generated in Oregon may have included aborted babies. Commissioners said they were horrified and disgusted to learn that Covanta Marion was burning abortion waste to generate electricity. The facility is owned and operated by Covanta in a partnership with the county. It processes 550 tons of municipal solid waste a day, with only a small portion coming from medical sources.
From the story
An Oregon county commission has ordered an incinerator to stop accepting boxed medical waste to generate electricity after learning the waste it's been burning may include tissue from aborted fetuses from British Columbia.
This blog previously wrote how news outlets like the UK Telegraph reported that the remains of more than 15,000 babies were incinerated as 'clinical waste' by hospitals in Britain with some used in 'waste to energy' plants.
Ten NHS trusts admitted burning fetal remains alongside other rubbish while two others used the bodies in 'waste-to-energy' plants which generate power for heat.
Back in Oregon, Sam Brentano, chairman of the Marion County board of commissioners, told the CBS affiliate that the board is taking immediate action to prohibit human tissue from future deliveries at the plant that has been turning waste into energy since 1987.
KOIN interviewed Bud Waterman, a former temp worker at Covanta Marion, Inc., who said he saw 53-foot tractor trailers carrying biohazards dropping off loads at the facility in Brooks at least two to three times a week.
On more than one occasion, Waterman said the contents of the truck spilled out of their containers.
"It would make you sick, especially if you had to clean it up or have to pull a box off the trailer," said Waterman,"If you had to pull a box off the trailer, there's so much blood.
Waterman told the news station he believed that fetuses had been incinerated at the plant for years and used for energy.
"They knew it, they had to," Waterman said.
In addition to aborted babies being incinerated there was biohazard waste such as individual human body parts which were used at the plant.
"So if someone loses an arm, loses a finger?" Marion County commissioners Janet Carlson asked at the meeting.
"That should go in and be burned," Brentano replied. "As gross as that is."
According to KOIN, Covanta placed blame on Marion County and said the company is halting the program until answers are given.
"The medical waste program at the Marion County Resource Recovery Facility is County run and managed," Covanta said in a statement. "Marion County contracts for and delivers medical waste to the facility and Covanta has no responsibility for the program. Covanta is shocked by these allegations and is discontinuing the receipt of this waste stream until we have been assured by the County that this alleged material is not being delivered to the facility."
Focal Point's Bryan Fischer called the practice barbaric and Hitleresque and said that we are no different than Nazi Germany. He compared this practice with those done centuries ago when Ancient Israel babies sacrificed their children to the idol Moloch.
According to ABC NEWS, The Oregon facility is a partnership between the county and Covanta, a New Jersey-based firm that operates energy-from-waste power generation plants. The Marion County plant processes 550 tons of municipal solid waste a day, with only a small portion coming from medical sources. It sells the power to Portland General Electric.
Jill Stueck, a Covanta spokeswoman, said the company is cooperating with the suspension, and it does not seek out the waste that mortified commissioners.
"No one is saying bring us fetal tissue," Stueck said.
Jeff Bickford, environmental services division manager in Marion County, said the facility there has been taking material from British Columbia for five to seven years. He said clinical waste providers such as Stericycle bring in medical waste ranging from syringes and body parts to laboratory cultures and bodily fluids after hospitals and clinics place it into red bags and sealed containers.
Pro-lifers have been exposing Stericycle for picking up abortion clinic waste for years.
The group , Repent America launched a campaign to stop Stericycle after recording Stericycle admitting that they pick up aborted babies from Planned Parenthood and abortion clinics.
In April of 1997, the national pro-life group Life Dynamics began an undercover investigation into the marketing of body parts harvested from babies killed by elective abortions. This investigation lasted approximately 31 months. An extensive report of that investigation has been uploaded on the Life Dynamics website (here). The group says that most of the information in the report was provided by employees who worked at Comprehensive Health for Women (Comp Health) – a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic located in Overland Park, Kansas.
Mark Crutcher, president of Life Dynamics, responded to the latest discoveries, "What do you expect, these people are ghouls."
Disturbing: Aborted babies incinerated in waste to energey plants heat hospitalsPosted in Aborted Baby Trash, Abortion energy, fetal Remains, Feticide, Fetus Dumping with tags aborted babies, Abortion, energy plant, Fetal Remains, hospital, incinerated, waste to energy on March 24, 2014 by saynsumthn
UK Telegraph is reporting that the remains of more than 15,000 babies were incinerated as 'clinical waste' by hospitals in Britain with some used in 'waste to energy' plants.
The bodies of thousands of aborted and miscarried babies were incinerated as clinical waste, with some even used to heat hospitals, an investigation has found.
Ten NHS trusts have admitted burning foetal remains alongside other rubbish while two others used the bodies in 'waste-to-energy' plants which generate power for heat.
Last night the Department of Health issued an instant ban on the practice which health minister Dr Dan Poulter branded 'totally unacceptable.'
At least 15,500 foetal remains were incinerated by 27 NHS trusts over the last two years alone, Channel 4's Dispatches discovered.
The programme, which will air tonight, found that parents who lose children in early pregnancy were often treated without compassion and were not consulted about what they wanted to happen to the remains.
One of the country's leading hospitals, Addenbrooke's in Cambridge, incinerated 797 babies below 13 weeks gestation at their own 'waste to energy' plant. The mothers were told the remains had been 'cremated.'
Another 'waste to energy' facility at Ipswich Hospital, operated by a private contractor, incinerated 1,101 foetal remains between 2011 and 2013.
They were brought in from another hospital before being burned, generating energy for the hospital site. Ipswich Hospital itself disposes of remains by cremation.

That Sheep May Safely Graze (March 2019, Purdue University Press), by David Sherman, brings light to the human story of Afghanistan, the disruptive impact that decades long conflict has had on rural Afghans, their culture, and the timeless relationship they share with their land and their animals.
The book describes the story of one of the most successful and lasting U.S.-funded development programs in Afghanistan since the start of American nation-building efforts there in 2001. It is a story of bringing essential veterinary services to a society that depends day in and day out on the well-being and productivity of its animals, but also a society that had no reliable access to even the most basic animal health care.
The author of the book, David Sherman, has worked all over the world to provide essential veterinary services such as animal health service delivery, veterinary infrastructure development, transboundary animal disease control, goat health and production, and veterinary and veterinary para-professional education. His work has brought him to over 40 countries, working for a variety of international agencies including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Bank, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), Heifer International, and Farm Africa.
Prior to the book's publication, we asked David Sherman about his personal experiences in Afghanistan, the way the world views the country, and more.
Q: What made you want to write about your experiences?
David Sherman: Several things. The United States has been involved militarily in Afghanistan indirectly or directly since 1979 and yet Americans remain largely unaware of the country, its history and its people. Having been involved in relief and development activities in Afghanistan since 1991, I have been able to gain a long-term experience with the country and its culture and I wanted to share that experience with a wider public. Also, for those who have followed events in Afghanistan, the prevailing view has been that billions of dollars have been spent on nation building with little to show for it. Therefore, I wanted to tell the story of our successful effort to provide sustainable animal health care in the country to a wider audience to illustrate that indeed, effective development in Afghanistan is possible. Finally, I wanted to invite readers to get to know some of the fine and decent Afghans with whom I worked, so that they can better appreciate the warmth, grace and resilience of these people in the face of the tremendous hardships and losses they have suffered.
Q: What is the best story that didn't make it into the book?
Sherman: Oh, so many it is hard to choose. But there was one that epitomized the challenges of doing development work in Afghanistan. I was able to organize a collaborative effort between my employer, the Dutch Committee for Afghanistan, US Army Civil Affairs officers, a British NGO and several volunteer veterinary practitioners from the US to refurbish the teaching clinic at the Kabul University Veterinary Faculty and restore their desperately needed clinical teaching program for veterinary students. Unfortunately, after we had it up and running and farmers were bringing their livestock and expats were bringing their dogs and cats for treatment, the clinic was bulldozed to make way for the newly created American University of Afghanistan!
Q: How do you feel the world's perception of what is going on in Afghanistan lines up with your own experiences there?
Sherman: Sadly, what the world hears about Afghanistan – widespread corruption, ineffective governance, the opium trade, instability, poverty, insurgency and violence are all true, but the tragedy is that the world hears only about these things. Afghanistan is a country of 35 million people, the vast majority of whom get on with their lives, demonstrating a remarkable inner strength. Every day, they go to work, to market, to school, to the mosque to pray, to the fields to tend their crops, to the pastures to tend their animals, to funerals to mourn their dead and to weddings as an affirmation of their hopefulness for a better future. What the world does not hear about is the dignity and humanity of these Afghan people and their desire for peace and a better life for their children.
Q: How would you explain the importance of the work you did to a layperson?
Sherman: Through our work, we were able to establish reliable access to clinical veterinary services throughout Afghanistan. This was a vitally important achievement. Afghanistan is mainly a rural society whose people still depends largely on agriculture. It is estimated that the livelihoods of up to eighty percent of the population depend directly or indirectly on livestock. Nomadic herders, of which there are millions in the country, depend almost completely on their livestock to survive. Since the Soviet invasion in 1979 and the prolonged fighting that followed to this day, what little veterinary service that had been available to farmers and herders through government had essentially disappeared. As a result, the nation's livestock had succumbed to a wide range of preventable and treatable diseases due to lack of vaccines and medicines and personnel trained in their use. The livelihoods and well-being of livestock owners as well as the national economy suffered as a result.
While there were numerous relief efforts over the years to provide veterinary services through various donor projects, these interventions were not sustainable because the service was provided for free and the personnel were paid salaries. When the projects ended and the free medicines and salaries disappeared, so did the veterinary services. We took a different approach, recruiting and training young men and later women from their home districts, providing them with a six-month training along with the necessary equipment and supplies required to provide good quality clinical services to their home districts once they returned after training. We made it clear from the beginning that we would pay no salaries and that these trained paraveterinarians would have to charge for their services so that they could earn enough money to provide their own income and to purchase their resupply of additional medicines and vaccines to continue working. This private sector, fee for service model worked very well. Since the first paraveterinarians were trained in 2004, almost 90% of them continue to provide animal health care services to the farmers and herders in their districts, some now for almost 15 years. As a result, hundreds of jobs were created for paraveterinarians, the health, welfare and productivity of Afghanistan livestock have been improved and the livelihoods of rural Afghans enhanced throughout the country.
Q: What are the most important ways your work affects the general public?
Sherman: Throughout the developing world and even in some parts of the developed world, tens of millions of animal owners do not have access to reliable animal health care. There are many reasons – remoteness, lack of roads, telecommunication and other infrastructure, war, civil unrest, misguided policies, insufficient numbers of veterinarians, lack of economic incentive for veterinarians to serve small holder farmers and nomads, poverty and inadequate knowledge of the benefits of veterinary services. The fee for service, private sector, community-based veterinary paraprofessional model for sustainable animal health care delivery that we refined in Afghanistan can serve as a model to improve access to veterinary services around the world.
The benefits of regular access to reliable animal health care are many, particularly in developing countries. Healthy, vaccinated animals offer protection against the disaster of unexpected loss of flocks and herds to disease, improved food security, better nutrition, increased income, expanded opportunities for value chain development in the livestock sector and even social stability for communities that depend on animals for their survival.
Q: If you could have readers take one thing away from this book, what would that be?
Sherman: If I may, I would like to quote a passage from the book to sum up what I would like readers to take away from it. "Sadly, despite so many years of American involvement, the Afghan people remain largely invisible to most Americans, and their hopes and aspirations, so similar to our own, remain unknown. My life has been enormously enriched by the many years spent in their midst and I have grown to love some individual Afghans as if they were my own family. The Afghan people are not faceless ciphers, conniving thieves, ruthless terrorists, and rabid fundamentalists. All societies are complex and contain undesirable elements. It is true of Afghan society as it is true of our own. The Afghans I worked with and came to know well are decent, hardworking people. They are generous, hospitable, good-humored, trustworthy, and devoted to family and community. They have deep and abiding religious faith. Afghans are proud of their country's beauty, its varied cultures, and its long, rich history. Most of all, Afghans are resilient. They have suffered in ways over the past thirty years that most of us cannot even imagine. They want and deserve better. They want and deserve peace, security, prosperity, and a hopeful future."
As I write this, the American government is engaged in peace talks with the Taliban. I pray that respect for the quality of life and the basic human rights of ordinary Afghans, especially Afghan women, is on the agenda.

A Conversation with Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin. What is photojournalism? - Ed Kashi. Ed was asked recently by Whitney Johnson at the New Yorker magazine how he defined photojournalism today.
Below is his response, illustrated with examples that highlight the 3 distinct parts of Ed's definition. PART I: Photojournalism is a unique and powerful form of visual storytelling originally created for print magazines and newspapers but has now morphed into multimedia and even documentary filmmaking. Through the internet, apps and the mobile device explosion, photojournalism can now reach audiences never before imagined with immediate impact, while continuing to write our visual history and form our collective memories. Journalists Killed in 2014. Sameh al-Aryan Al-Aqsa TV Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory Rami Rayan Palestine Network for Press and Media Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
Replacing photojournalists with drones will only bring us 'war porn' "John Simpson and I put our lives in danger year after year, and countless other war correspondents and their crews do the same.
An unmanned drone has no fear, no family, and no doubts. It will fly into the most dangerous, openly hostile environment and capture the best, most incredible images that us 'real' reporters could ever hope for." I have to disagree. No doubt the images themselves will be fabulous. But photojournalism is about more than just the image itself. Magazine Features. The Real Thing: Photographer Luc Delahayeby Bill Sullivan Luc Delahaye, "History," Feb. 13-Mar. 22, 2003, at Ricco-Maresca Gallery, 529 West 20th Street, New York, N.Y. 10011 "He was dead a few minutes lying in a ditch," Luc Delahaye said, indicating a 1994 photograph of a Taliban soldier stretched out on the ground.
Dressed in a khaki uniform, without boots, the corpse has a grace that almost seems posed. The photograph itself looks like it might have been taken by someone floating high above in a balloon. Journalism Ethics > Online Journalism Ethics > Photojournalism. Code of Ethics. The National Press Photographers Association, a professional society that promotes the highest standards in visual journalism, acknowledges concern for every person's need both to be fully informed about public events and to be recognized as part of the world in which we live.
Visual journalists operate as trustees of the public. Our primary role is to report visually on the significant events and varied viewpoints in our common world. Our primary goal is the faithful and comprehensive depiction of the subject at hand. Photojournalism and Documentary Photography - Nieman Reports. Time in photography isn't only about its passage, whether measured in hours, days or months.
It's about its captured moments, be it in a second, or five hundredths of a second. Increments of time are imperceptible to the eye, but not to light sensitive film. The difference between a fifteenth of a second and a hundred and twenty-fifth of a second alters the way in which what stands before the camera is depicted. A blending happens at slower shutter speeds. What can be seen as sharply defined objects turn to mood and atmosphere that could have come from an artist's brushstroke.
Shutter speed is just one technique photographers use to take visual information to a level beyond what, on its surface, it represents. In photography, these captured moments aren't the only vehicles in which time works to bring about feeling. Photographs by Iraqi Civilians.

Neil Burgess stepped forward two months ago to call the death of photojournalism at ''11.12 GMT 1st August 2010. Amen.'' ''There are thousands of the poor bastards, creating massive debt for themselves, hoping to graduate and get a job which no one is prepared to pay for any more,'' he said in an online article. "For God's sake, somebody call it!" For the last thirty-odd years, I've been listening to people talk about, or predict the death of photojournalism. John Szarkowski, the legendary curator of photography at MOMA New York even said that photojournalism stopped being interesting after 1958; I was just out of nappies then.
Yet, somehow I've devoted just about all my working life to social documentary photography and nearly 25 years to photojournalism. Photojournalism Dead, Declares Former Magnum Head. Newspapers are fading. Dead or alive? The state of photojournalism. Photography has always been associated with death. The French painter Paul Delaroche is supposed to have proclaimed, "From today, painting is dead" after he saw his first daguerreotype. Whatever the provenance of that quote, miniature portrait painting was replaced by new photographic technologies, even though their long exposure times meant, as Geoffrey Batchen has written, "if one wanted to appear lifelike in a photograph, one first had to act as if dead."
And with the rise of digital technologies in the 1980s and 1990s the discourse of photography's death gained new life, as various commentators declared that the ease of image manipulation meant that photography's documentary status had come to a terminal end. As a specific practice within the broad field of photography, photojournalism has had its death proclaimed on numerous occasions too. Geerst van Kesteren.

Boules is a firm French favourite that has proved popular year after year. This excellently crafted set makes a great gift to friends and family and an even better gift to yourself.
Our polished steel alloy four player Boules set comes pre-packed in its own secure metal carry case. The set has eight metal boules identified by clear engraved patterns on the balls themselves. The balls are attractive and durable, each one weighs 719g. Garden Boules is a great fun garden game that is easy to set up and easy to play if not to master, which every member of the family can enjoy.
The game is played as follows:
Toss a coin to pick the player to go first.
This player then stands at one end of the pitch/lawn. This is the spot from which all players will subsequently bowl from.
The Jack is then thrown down the pitch, in theory it should land about two thirds up the pitch, but in the back garden or the beach it really is not that important.
The first player then throws one Boule towards the Jack or Cochonnet, aiming to get as close as possible.
The next player steps up and attempts to do the same, while also trying to remove the other player's Boule by knocking it away from the Jack or Cochonnet.
Once all the players have thrown all their Boules the winner is decided by being the player with his or his or her Boule closest to the Jack. This can be a hot topic of debate and to help with this tough decision we have included a simple measure in with our Boules set.
Top Tip - If smaller players are involved it can make the game much more fun for them by allowing them to stand further forwards.
- 8 Polished Alloy Boules
- Packed in Stylish Metal Carrying Case
- Wooden Jack and Measure

Episode description
The 25th edition of a show is something that is worth celebrating! After 2 years in the making, the Bla Bla Bla could finally see the day, on December 19th, 2010! As explained in the show, we chose a special emplacement for the set; a place we had never been to before, but a place where the core and soul of what we do lies.
We go back in time a little bit to show you what our vacations under the sun have been made of, and to tell you about the different theme nights we've had at the HQ over the holidays! May they be about baseball, about Nick Cave, about the Walking Dead, or the annual Enemies Awards ceremony, they all had a unique side to them and left us with something we will remember for all our lives! We also took time to talk about the previous birthdays we've celebrated, as there was no way we could leave aside the infamous Costco cakes!
As this show was all about celebration, we also talked about the recent release of the album "Between Illness And Migration" in Europe, about its reception by all of you and by the media. Positive reviews have abounded, and many radio stations have adopted the gong as well! And as singles keep being released in Canada, Canadians embrace the album more and more as well!
We couldn't do a Bla Bla Bla without talking about the live concerts we've had since the previous editions either… Get ready to travel to NYC, over all of Europe with the "Shadows of Dreams to Come" tour, and to Quebec City as we unveil the schedule of a special YFE Family weekend!
The band members also talked about human rights, something they hold very close to their hearts. In light of the recent events that happened in France and with the situation of Raif Badawi in the moment, they all felt it was important to do something.
Finally, we talked about the SFCC. With the yearly membership packages having been sent out and all of you receiving them, we couldn't avoid the topic! What's more, we sent all of the members a special invitation to a "Bad Date for Good People".

Keith Berr and Laura Webb work with Flashes Of Hope
My associate, Laura Webb, and I were filmed for Channel 5 News photographing children at the Cleveland Clinic for Flashes of Hope, a nonprofit organization that changes the way children with cancer and other life threatening illnesses see themselves through the gift of photography and raises money for pediatric cancer research.
The portraits help children feel better about their changing appearance by celebrating it. For families of terminally ill children, it's especially important to have a portrait that preserves forever the beauty, grace and dignity of their child.
This month Flashes of Hope reached a new milestone. Since its inception in 2001, Flashes of Hope has provided free portrait packages to over 15,000 families all across the country! This summer alone, over 3,000 children were photographed at camps across the country. In 2010, Flashes of Hope will photograph 50% of the children diagnosed with cancer in 60 locations across the United States. Our goal is to photograph every child until every child is cured.
It feels good to give. If you would like to donate visit the Flashes of Hope website. Thanks to all who support this great endeavour.

Capiz Schools Ready For K to 12
ROXAS CITY, Capiz (May 30) -- All systems now are being readied by the Department of Education (DepEd) for the implementation of the K to 12 basic education program.
Capiz Schools Division Superintendent Eveleth Gamboa disclosed that they have already started conducting the week-long mass training for Grade 1 teachers and school heads from both the public and private schools in the entire schools division here.
Gamboa said that the first batch of trainees were 438 who graduated last May 24 and the second batch with 497 teachers and school heads will start the same on May29 until June 2.
She said that the training focuses on the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE), which is in consonance with the institutionalization of the Kindergarten education into the Basic Education System which will be effected starting this June.
It also aims to provide teachers and school heads with a clear understanding of the role of Kindergarten in the K to 12 curriculum.
The MTB-MLE project is a continuation of the Lingua Franca Education Project launched in School Year 1999-2000 as mandated by then Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS) Memorandum No. 144, series of 1999.
"Through the mass training of our Grade I teachers, school heads from the public and private schools, we would be able to put in place and institutionalize the K to 12 program that will enhance the quality of basic education in the Philippines," Gamboa said.
Earlier, President Benigno S. Aquino III said that there is a need to add two years to the basic education to give school children an even chance at succeeding.
Starting this June, the K to 12 program of the DepEd requires that Kindergarten will be mandatory for 5 years old children with Primary education for Grades I to 6,Junior Education for Grades 7 to 10, and Senior High School will be Grades 11to 12.

As VP of Community Service, one of Angela Yang's main goals for the Smith business school was to reflect the corporate responsibility held within companies today. This past fall, Yang and the Community Service committee held the Terps Against Hunger event at the business school to bring the Smith community together while helping the community off campus. "We wanted toprovide an opportunity for Smith students to be more community focused instead of just getting ahead professionally," Yang explained.
The Terps Against Hunger event included about 25 Target employees and 100 Smith students volunteering their time, and resulted in 28,000 meals packed for people with food insecurity or in poverty. The SUSA Community Service committee created an opportunity for students from the Smith school to come together with people in the community to make an impact larger than either could have created alone.
SUSA has created not only a network of people for Yang, but a welcoming community that encourages and supports her. The SUSA executive board and committee members are comprised of people with diverse personalities and perspectives, which has allowed Yang the opportunity to learn how to work together with people very different than herself.
Yang described how the SUSA executive board has taught her many skills that she will bring to the professional world during internships and after she graduates. For example, SUSA hosted SUSA Business Week at the Smith School this past September. This event, along with many other SUSA held events throughout the year, provided opportunities for Yang and other SUSA members to build relationships with recruiters and professionals while learning about the process of hosting and executing professional events.
Yang described her role, along with any role in SUSA, as just one piece in a thousand-piecepuzzle. The best way to do this is to "put forth all of yourself, but realize [that] you're contributing to a bigger picture, so tailor what you do towards that," Yang advised. As a member of the SUSA executive board, you will have to put aside some of your personal goals in order to work towards the bigger picture, but according to Yang, it is worth it.
The members of SUSA are strong, driven leaders that encourage one another to greater lengths, and Yang believes it is the most valuable leadership position anyone could hold within their time at University of Maryland.
The executive board application is open until Sunday, October 28th. Apply here!

Egg Muffins (Flour-Free Muffins)
All you need is about 15 minutes prep time for the ingredients and another 20 minutes for the flour-free egg muffins to bake in the oven, during which time you can wash the utensils or mop the kitchen floor.
These are the ingredients that I used. You can add any veggie or meat that you like into the egg muffin. The recipe as shown in the video at the end of this post uses ham and red bell pepper but I omitted them. Deli meat is banned in this household and our girls dislike bell peppers. I think adding chopped spinach and some minced beef would be delish too.
Ingredients used in my recipe today (yields 9 egg muffins)
8 eggs
Sweet corn kernels
Cherry tomatoes - quartered
Minced garlic
Minced onions
Chopped scallions
Julienned carrots
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Oil (I used avocado oil)
Crack and beat eggs in a large bowl
Add baking soda, salt, pepper, milk and oil and mix well
Spoon the veggies onto paper muffin cups
Pour in egg mixture
Place cheese of your choice on top of the egg mixture
Bake for 20 minutes at 170C
I'm blessed that I have a daughter who loves cooking and helping out in the kitchen. She helped to julienne the carrots and cucumbers. Sherilyn and I are besties in the kitchen. Out of the kitchen, it's another story :D
I think this turned out to look like a Halloween meal :D You can guess who decorated this from the initial on the bread.
Check out this video for the step-by-step instructions for egg muffins
As this was my very first try, I also prepared tuna toast for the girls, JUST IN CASE the egg muffins turn out to be a flop, at least they would have sandwiches. Always have a simple backup meal for the kids if you are trying out a new recipe for the first time.
For the sandwich filling, I sauteed a can of tuna (I never eat anything straight from a can without cooking it) with minced garlic and onions and spiced it up with some cajun, cumin, pepper, scallions and Japanese mayonaise.
Do give this egg muffin a try. It's not too involved and not ingredients intense. My 2 younger girls were more than glad to help me out. And it's easy to clean up since disposable paper muffin cups are used. If you take advantage of the time it takes for the egg muffin to bake in the oven, you only actually need to spend 15 minutes prepping the ingredients. I checked my emails and replied my customers when the egg muffins were in the oven. My garlic and onions were pre-chopped a day earlier and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
You can heat up the egg muffins in the toaster and aluminum wrap it for your kids to bring to school for recess snack the next morning. Or simply deep-freeze the extras and pop them into the toaster on super busy nights.
Happy trying! :)

That recipe makes the muffins a mini quiche! Healthy stuff for sure! Would be great with spinach or kale (kids may balk at this!). It would be stupendous with bacon or ham, but I know you don't allow deli meat, but can u imagine the deliciousness? Heehee.

Aha yes Chris! It tastes like mini quiche! Kale is super expensive here and not a regular item on the supermarket shelves. Yes, I know it would taste heavenly with ham or sausages. If I find organic ham and sausages here, I'll buy them. I love them too but we only eat these occasionally on cheat days :)

Can't help laughing at your sentence about you and Sher are besties in the kitchen but a different story when you are not in the kitchen :D

Barb, Sher is the alter ego in the kitchen, such a great helper. She def. has her father's DNA! :)

Interstate 195 Rhode Island / Massachusetts
Interstate 195 serves regional traffic demands, joining Providence, Rhode Island and the I-95 corridor with Fall River, New Bedford and Cape Cod in southeast Massachusetts. With auxiliary lanes, the nearly 45 mile long route accommodates as many as ten lanes.
Starting in Downtown Providence across the Iway Bridge over Providence Harbor, I-195 travels to East Providence, Rhode Island and suburban areas of Seekonk and Swansea, Massachusetts. East from there, I-195 crosses the Taunton River on the Braga Bridge to the city of Fall River, where the freeway passes below the Fall River Government Center through a cut and cover tunnel. Route 24 also overlaps with I-195 between separate freeways leading south to Tiverton, R.I. and north to Taunton, Mass.
Continuing east from Fall River, Interstate 195 parallels U.S. 6 through rural sections of Westport and Dartmouth with six overall lanes. The freeway narrows to four lanes across the city of New Bedford, where it spans the Acushnet River along a short causeway. Curving northeast, I-195 heads through Fairhaven, Mattapoisett and Marion to its junction with Interstate 495 and Route 25 in Wareham.
Massachusetts 25 extends the Interstate 495 freeway east from I-195 to Buzzards Bay, U.S. 6 and the Bourne Bridge to Cape Cod. The Bourne Bridge provides one of two spans across Cape Cod Canal, with U.S. 6 east over the Sagamore Bridge being the other.
Initially planned as Interstate 95E in 1957, the East Providence Expressway was renumbered as I-195 in 1959. Work on the route through Providence was already underway by 1956, with a one mile section completed through the Jewelry District in 1958. Construction of I-195 through East Providence was underway in 1957, and completed to the state line in 1960.1
Interstate 195 was originally proposed east only as far as New Bedford, Massachusetts. Construction on the freeway in the Bay State started in 1958, with the first segment opened to traffic between Seekonk and Swansea in 1960. Another seven miles of I-195 were completed from Exit 3 to Exit 10 in Westport in 1965.1
Work on I-195 east to Massachusetts 18 in New Bedford continued to 1968. The remaining 14 miles east from there were built between 1968 and 1974, and signed as a new alignment for U.S. 6. With AASHTO approval on June 17, 1975, Interstate 195 was formally extended eastward to Massachusetts 25 in Wareham, with U.S. 6 shifted back to its former course.1
Costing $610 million, the Iway Project in Providence, Rhode Island relocated 1.6 miles of Interstate 195 onto a new seven-span, 1,250 foot long bridge3 over the Providence River. The 2,000 foot realignment of I-195 passes south of the Hurricane Barrier along the Providence River, connecting with a new three-wye interchange with Interstate 95 to the west, and leading east to India Point Park. Improvements included rebuilding a 0.8-mile section of I-95 as well.4
The Iway Project addressed regular congestion along the curved portions of both Interstates 95 and 195 south of Downtown Providence. Work involved 14 new bridges, including the eight-lane Iway Bridge. 20 acres of land were made available for redevelopment along the former I-195 right of way. The Iway Bridge was constructed off site and transported by barge in August 2006 for installation.4 The main span is a 400 foot long network arch bridge.3
The new Iway Bridge opened to eastbound traffic on November 4, 2007. Westbound traffic shifted to the span on June 18, 2009.5 Final work on the Iway Project wrapped up by the end of 2010.3

"Create positive changes today"
Hypnotherapy is a relaxed, natural state of mind, creating positive changes for body, mind and soul. Create the changes you seek in a relaxed, safe and comforting environment.
Hypnosis is a natural and pleasant state of the human mind. It involves focused attention: concentration on an object, an idea or an activity with full involvement, while attention to anything else is temporarily suspended. We can experience this "trance-like" state in everyday living, for example: becoming totally involved watching a movie or a sports game, driving on a familiar route where you do not quite remember part of the journey, waking minutes before an alarm clock on a significant day, daydreaming, reading an absorbing book, noticing a smell or hearing a song which takes you back in time reminding you of an event which has been stored in your memory. Hypnosis is a relaxed state of mind where one can indeed focus on an idea, an aspect of one's life, a dilemma or a challenge.
Our tailored sessions can assist you to; stop smoking, de-stress, increase self-confidence, change study habits and concentration, eliminate fears, phobias depression and anxiety. Great results also found with our new weight loss program – Virtual Gastric Banding. Improve the quality of your life – Time is Now!

Chapter 1 - Juvenile Courts and Proceedings
Part 4 - Mandatory Child Abuse Reports
37-1-409 - Reports confidential Authorized access to information Penalty for violation.
37-1-409. Reports confidential Authorized access to information Penalty for violation.
(a) (1) Except as otherwise provided by this section and §§ 37-1-612 and 37-5-107, reports of harm made under this part and the identity of the reporter are confidential, except when the juvenile court in which the investigation report is filed, in its discretion, determines the testimony of the person reporting to be material to an indictment or conviction.
(2) Except as may be ordered by the juvenile court as herein provided, the name of any person reporting child abuse shall not be released to any person, other than employees of the department or other child protection team members responsible for child protective services, the abuse registry, or the appropriate district attorney general upon subpoena of the Tennessee bureau of investigation, without the written consent of the person reporting. Such person's identity shall be irrelevant to any civil proceeding and shall, therefore, not be subject to disclosure by order of any court. This shall not prohibit the subpoenaing of a person reporting child abuse when deemed necessary by the district attorney general or the department to protect a child who is the subject of a report; provided, that the fact that such person made the report is not disclosed.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this part, it is unlawful for any person, except for purposes directly connected with the administration of this part, to disclose, receive, make use of, authorize or knowingly permit, participate in, or acquiesce in the use of any list or the name of, or any information concerning, persons receiving services pursuant to this part, or any information concerning a report or investigation of a report of harm under this part, directly or indirectly derived from the records, papers, files or communications of the department or divisions thereof acquired in the course of the performance of official duties.
(c) In addition to such other purposes as may be directly connected with the administration of this part, the department shall also grant access to information to those persons specified in § 37-1-612.

(1) The establishment of administrative and due process procedures for the disclosure of the contents of its files and the results of its investigations for the purpose of protecting children from child sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, or neglect; and
(2) For other purposes directly connected with the administration of this chapter, including, but not limited to, cooperation with schools, child care agencies, residential and institutional child care providers, child protection agencies, individuals providing care or protection for the child, medical and mental health personnel providing care for the child and the child's family and the perpetrator of any form of child abuse or neglect, law enforcement agencies, the judicial and correctional systems, and for cooperation with scientific and governmental research on child abuse and neglect.
(f) Except as specifically provided in this chapter, nothing in this chapter shall prevent the department from sharing information with the district attorney general and law enforcement personnel for the purpose of cooperating with a law enforcement investigation. Information from departmental records that is shared with the district attorney general or law enforcement by the department shall remain confidential to the same extent that information not shared with the district attorney general and law enforcement is confidential. Unless otherwise ordered by a court, or to the extent that such information is used for criminal prosecution, or to the extent required under the Tennessee rules of criminal procedure after criminal charges have been filed, any portion of shared information that does not become part of a court record shall remain confidential to the same extent as information not shared by the department remains confidential.
(g) A violation of this section is a Class B misdemeanor.

Or, as I like to call it, The Sins Against Capitalism (Rabid Capitalism, as is customarily referred to as, The Moderate Middle.)
Ladies and Gentlemen, in the blue corner, we have the rabid capitalists who identify as Democrats, and in the red corner, we have the rabid capitalists who identify as Republicans. Together they identify as neoliberals, or favored politicians by most Americans.
What we are featuring is a sideshow (or circus, as some like to say) of whether or not the current president of the US is fit to be leading this capitalist movement we so earnestly, though unwittingly, support. The questions are as follows;1 - Has the President been fair to the economist elites as a whole or just in part?Those are some questions I believe need to be answered in order for Trump to not be impeached.
2 - Has He played by the rules of capitalism as outlined by convention?
3 - Will Trump eventually learn to support capitalism to the extent of promoting and engaging in new wars?
4 - Will Trump learn to submit to the US intelligence agencies, or will he continue to circumvent that process by communicating directly with Israel and Saudi Arabia for his orders? The middlemen are justifiably angry at being shut out. They put a lot of effort in being the snobs they've become.
We can discuss them perhaps?

About Us
Here at True Interventions, we look after our coordinators with great care so that they can look after your family and help your loved one fight addiction and have longer lasting sobriety.
We Know What Works
True Interventions was created because we believe that not enough is being done to aid the families that need help with addiction. All of our coordinators have heard of horror stories from people calling an addiction treatment center for help only to be told that there was nothing that could be done.
In some sense, it is true. If an addict is not willing to quit, then the addiction intervention treatment will have little to no effect and will be just a costly waste of time.
However, at True Interventions, we say, "There are other options!" We offer families more than one option to choose from to help proceed with getting their loved one into treatment.
Our personalized method of intervention is designed to help the family understand about addiction and the ways addiction manipulates a person into a whole different way of thinking and acting.
Throughout the process, we will show the family that with everyone's help they can make their loved one understand about the issue of addiction and the need to fight this problem before it's too late. With a strong family and friends support system the chances of an addict going into treatment greatly increases. With this same care and support, the addict will now be motivated to actively participate in the addiction recovery process because they now see that their lives really matter.
We have partnered with many reputable treatment centers so when the time comes and your loved one decides to go into treatment, we transport them right away. If the family has a different treatment center of their choosing, we can also work with that. There is no pressure where to go to seek treatment, just get your loved ones into treatment.
About The Team
At True Interventions, all of our team has been affected by addiction one way or another. Either they have suffered from addiction, or they have had a close family member who has either suffered or died from addiction. They understand all of the ins and outs of the addiction treatment process and how an addict thinks and can manipulate people.
True Interventions is one of the few companies in the recovery field that has a requirement of addiction. We require each member to have an experience with addiction so they will be able to provide the best addiction intervention treatment possible. We can assure that all of our coordinators and intervention specialists have at least 2 years sobriety.
As part of our team, our coordinators understand the need people have and genuinely want to help. And in return, we look after them. We know how stressful the process is, but we see to it that their sobriety is not compromised by conducting weekly meetings with our coordinators.
