Will one Englishman dare to face his fears?Short-listed for Outdoor Book of the Year by The Great Outdoors magazine.Born traveller Keith Foskett had thousands of miles of thru-hiking experience when he prepared for his toughest challenge yet: a gruelling 2,640-mile hike from Mexico to Canada. In a six-month journey along America's Pacific Crest Trail, he crossed the arid expanses of California's deserts, the towering peaks of Oregon's volcanic landscape, and the dense forests of Washington.Battling phobias of bears, snakes, critters and camping in the woods after dark, can Foskett find new ways to achieve his ultimate goal when the worst winter in years bears down on the trail?Shortlisted for The Great Outdoors magazine Outdoor Personality of the Year and Book of the Year multiple times, veteran storyteller Keith Foskett lets you join him for a trek across the greatest long-distance hiking trail on Earth. With witty humour, astute observations, and a delightful cast of characters, you'll discover a compelling narrative that turns the travelogue formula on its head. The Last Englishman is an extraordinary travel memoir by an experienced long-distance hiker. If you believe there's more to life than work, yearn for new horizons and challenges, and believe in overcoming adversity, then you'll love Keith Foskett's tale of exploration. Discover The Last Englishman to embark on a journey of tenacity today!Reviews'I'm not sure if Keith Foskett knows it but he has penned a hiking classic. I just wanted to pack up my bags and head off into the wilderness.'- Spencer Vignes (The Observer).'Telling the true story of a six-month PCT hike from Mexico to Canada, crossing wild desert and mountain and meeting everything from eccentric hikers to rattlesnakes along the way. Easy to read and at times laugh-out-loud funny, it will make you want to pack your rucksack and go.'- Rosie Fuller (Adventure Travel magazine).'Long-distance hiking is tragically romantic: it's not all about fresh air, aesthetic majesty, and colorful company. This book is refreshingly honest about the difficulties and day-to-day monotony. But it also captures the rewards of this oversized effort to hike the United States end to end.'- Andrew Skurka (National Geographic Adventurer of the Year).'The Pacific Crest Trail is one of the most beautiful and diverse long distance trails in the world. The Last Englishman allows you to experience this amazing trail through the eyes of a thru-hiker. If you cannot take the time to hike the trail, then you should definitely take the time to read about it.'- Jennifer Pharr Davis (Previous record holder for the fastest thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail)'It's rare to find a book that captures the experience of long distance backpacking so well, and that is also fun to read. Fozzie's account of his Pacific Crest Trail hike is educational, inspirational and hilarious. A must read for aspiring thru-hikers and outdoor adventure seekers.'- Erik Asorson (The PCT Atlas)

ALDS Game 4’s: Astros Move On, Yankees Force Decisive Game 5

Jonathan Grant | October 9th, 2020

Coming into the expanded 2020 postseason, not too many people gave the Houston Astros a chance to make much of a run. Those people, however, didn’t count on the experience and quality the team have. They made sure of their place in yet another ALCS on Thursday as they defeated the Oakland A’s to book their place via an 11-6 win in Game 4. The series clincher saw Carlos Correa dominate. He hit a three-run homer in the fourth to put them up for good and then had two singles later on to add RBIs as well.

Michael Brantley had two homers as well, and the Astros will now await the winner of the other ALDS. That one is being contested by the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa had a chance to close out the Bronx Bombers on Thursday, but they were denied as the Yankees won 5-1 to force a winner-take-all Game 5 on Friday. The pitching, first and foremost, gave up just three hits over the entirety of the game. Along with Luke Voit and Gleyber Torres home runs, it was enough to get them into a decisive game that will have the total attention of the baseball world.

The White House

As a Nation we recognize the enormous sacrifices our military make on a daily basis in order to maintain a strong and ready force. Sustaining strong military readiness involves the entire family. Often, spouses choose to delay formal training and education in order to support the needs of the nation and their warrior partner. Spouses often mention to me that their life feels nomadic, moves taking place every 2-3 years. It’s important to note however that spouses are also vital for the economic stability of military families. It is estimated that approximately 83% of those entering military service depart the military prior to retirement. Most of our current military families will be competing in the job market and contributing to our economy for many more years outside of service than the time they served in the military. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics having a Bachelor’s degree nearly doubles the median annual wage an individual would earn. Currently, 84% of spouses have some college, 25% have a bachelor’s degree, and 10% have an advanced degree. Facilitating the opportunity to pursue higher education not only helps to support self-esteem and personal actualization, it can also strengthen financial stability for their families.

Over the last two years Joining Forces has committed to working with state legislatures and Governors to cut the red tape for military spouse credentialing and licensing portability. To date, there are 36 states that have enacted legislation with 9 more considering legislation this year. Credentialing and licensing portability are critical for military spouse employment, but prior to employment it is crucial for military spouses to be able to pursue the higher education needed to secure these qualifications.

Securing funding for school is vital for military spouses who are likely to move at least once if not more while attaining their degree or certifications. In 2009, the Post 9/11 GI Bill was created to allow service members to transfer their unused benefits to their spouse or dependent(s). Depending on the unused benefits this could provide up to 36 months of tuition assistance for spouses and dependents.

There are several other scholarship programs available to military spouses as well. The Military Spouse Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) Scholarship is an employment assistance program that provides up to $4000 of financial assistance to the spouses of junior ranking servicemembers who are pursuing a license, certification or Associate’s degree in a portable career field and occupation. Operation Homefront and the Women’s Selfworth Foundation offer scholarships to military wives who attend vocational training programs in the medical field. The Pat Tillman Foundation offers annual scholarships to military spouses based on financial need with an on average award of $11,000 per scholar. Bryant & Stratton College Online offers a Salute to Spouses $6,000 scholarship for military spouses. The National Military Family Association awards scholarships through the Joanne Holbrook Patton Military Spouse Scholarship to obtain professional certification or to attend post secondary or graduate school.

Each of the military services has scholarship programs to assist military spouses in following their higher education dreams. For example, the Army Emergency Relief: Spouse Education Assistance Program (SEAP) is designed to provide military spouses with the financial assistance needed to pursue a 4-year college degree. There are two separate programs, an Overseas Spouse Education Assistance and State Spouse Education Assistance Program. The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) provides both scholarships and no-interest loan programs. The Air Force Aid Society provides the General Henry H. Arnold Education Grant Program to offer a $2,000 grant. There is also the Air Force Spouse Tuition Assistance Program (STAP) providing partial tuition assistance for spouses of active duty airmen.

In times when the military spouse must take over as the primary source of income for the family given a total disability or death of their servicemember, it can be even more critical for them to attain a degree or certification. Specific scholarships are provided to these military spouses through programs such as the Spouse and Dependent Education Program and Folds of Honor Foundation.

There are numerous scholarships and programs available for military spouses and dependents. That is why Gail A. Schlacter and R. David Weber produced Financial Aid for Veterans, Military Personnel, and Their Families. This book identifies billions of dollars set aside in more than 1,400 programs. In the 2012-2014 edition of this book every major field of study are sponsored by more than 550 different private and public agencies and organizations. Additionally, The Department of Defense Spouse Education and Career Opportunities program works to provide military spouses with comprehensive resources and tools to strengthen their education and career opportunities. Trained counselors help spouses identify their career interests and aptitudes. They provide information about today’s job market and work opportunities, including portable skills and careers, entrepreneurship and federal employment options. Counselors help spouses learn about education options and licensing or credentialing requirements. They also help spouses identify, compare and weigh the costs of potential schools and programs to help them reach their career goals.

Education is vital for securing stable employment. Help us connect our military spouses to services and opportunities that can assist them gaining access by sharing the resources available to them. In doing so we are not only strengthening the employment opportunities for spouses, but we are also preserving the readiness of our military and veteran families.

Learning from Obama …

I have been watcing the US Presidential election closely for months (years!) now … much to the irritation of my wife.

I am very fascinated by Obama’s election strategy. In many ways I think it is very instructive for start ups (even if he doesn’t win … with I think is very unlikely).

#1. He set a very bold vision for himself … something that inspires him and others around him. Far reaching … but a long term bold vision.
#2. He build his message and USP around being different … changing status quo … and offering a fresh approach … rather than playing it sake by the book
#3. He never deviated from his essential positioning … though adapted the tactics based on circumstances
#4. He made mistakes, but learned from those and never repeated them
#5. Inspite of being down multiple times … he played to his strengths rather than imitate what worked for his opponents
#6. Picked his battles carefully and demonstrated the value of patience … particularly when Hillary supported pressured him to pick her
#7. In spite of endless criticism of being naive or being a dreamer by the “realistic skeptics” … he stuck to his belief that status quo can be shaken up with bold ideas
#8. He appears to he assembled a strong team, that complements him and makes up for his lack of experience
#9. Communicated the status and strategy constantly to his teams … so every one is on the loop … and is always aligned
#11. Cleverly used the internet and voluteers to build a campaign that is inspired across levels … rather than a top down model
#12. Last but not the least, always made sure he has enough cash to fight the campaign for the long term … as most candidates (including Hillary, McCain and Gulianni ran out of money along the way!)

Anyways … it has been a fascinating contest to watch and learn.

I am attempting to use the /me API to retrieve an authenticated user's details but I am receiving a 400 error.

I am able to complete the OAuth2 dance and have been able to capture the access token and expire value, but when I then go on to send my request to https://api.stackexchange.com/2.0/me?site=stackoverflow (including access token) it gives me a 400 error.

Here is what I am logging if it's of any use:

GET request for "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.0/me?site=stackoverflow" resulted in 400 (Bad Request); invoking error handler
HttpClientErrorException while completing connection: 400 Bad Request
Response body: ?

Is there anything I am missing? other than just sending the access token to the above URL is there anything else I need to do?

You need to pass your request key as well.

I'm not sure what you're using that isn't giving you the error message back, but if you had captured it you would have seen it said something like:

  error_message":"`key` is required when `access_token` is passed."
| improve this answer | |
  • Thanks - I thought that the key was only required in cases where the access token is not being passed - the only thing I can find in the docs about is this: "Pass this as key when making requests against the Stack Exchange API to receive a higher request quota." Is there any documentation detailing that it is required? – rhinds Mar 26 '12 at 10:36
  • @rhinds - looks like a documentation oversight, I'll get it fixed in the next deploy. – Kevin Montrose Mar 26 '12 at 17:13
  • Great thanks - am going to try including my key in the request. – rhinds Mar 26 '12 at 17:35
  • Hi @Kevin Montrose, I have just come back to this project (having been working on other things) - I have now updated my request to include the key (now hitting: api.stackexchange.com/2.0/me?site=stackoverflow&key=XXXXXXX) and including the access_token, but I am still getting the same "resulted in 400 (Bad Request)" Error - any other ideas or suggestions? – rhinds May 19 '12 at 21:12

Trauma leaves a mark. The feeling of being ‘different’ or being thought of as such, always leaves a mark. Multiple studies prove that children who stutter are at a higher risk of bullying, social exclusion, and negative perception of self. Such traumatic experiences leave their scars. As adults who continue to stutter or who have recovered from their disfluency, those early rejections and emotional violence colors their understanding of themselves and the world around them.

‘Black Sheep’ of the family

People who stutter have a genetic pre-disposition towards it or other speech defects. Children born to a parent who stutters have a better understanding of their condition and how to deal with it. However, for parents who don’t, the experience of raising a child who stutters can be challenging or frustrating. The condition is certainly not something that can be remedied by stern force or intimidation. Neither do children who stutter respond well to parents who though compassionate, don’t quite know what to do or how to address it. In either case, the feeling of being ‘different’ or needing to be ‘fixed’ persists.

Distorted Sense of Self

As humans, we are heavily dependent on language and speech to communicate, to form bonds, to develop our own identity. With speech impediments like stuttering come a sense of shame at the inability to communicate or explain oneself adequately. Along with a fear of judgement and rejection. Some studies suggest that adults who stutter have internalized the negativity, the disrespect and have begun to expect and accept it. When bad and rude behavior goes unchecked because one has learnt to live it, trouble isn’t far behind.

Compromised Personal Relationships

A negative perception of self adversely affects one’s relationships with friends, family, peers, even intimate and romantic partners. The fear of rejection amongst people who stutter has pervasively effects on their self-confidence which inadvertently affects their relationships. Moreover, misinformation or lack of information can create misleading stereotypes that people who stutter constantly chafe against.

Mental Health Issues

Effect of stuttering on Mental Health

The emotional and psychological strain that dealing with their disfluency puts on people who stutter makes them prone to depression and social anxiety. The damaging assumption that stuttering is a symptom of mental instability is wrong. The emotional fatigue, low self-confidence and social functioning is rather a product of such destructive and misguided profiling of people with speech defects.

Silver Lining of the Cloud

Having dealt with dismissive or obstructive behavior from a young age, people who stutter are extremely empathetic towards those who feel themselves to be marginalized. It is their compassionate ability to pay attention to everyone’s needs and abilities that makes people who stutter loyal and resilient friends and partners.

Each and every one of us is a myriad number of things, has varying ambitions, interests, reactions and emotions. How terrible to be defined or let our lives be defined by a singular label?! For that label, the past, or someone’s misinformed opinion dictate our present and misshape our future.

Gerry Bloch Passes

Published: September 19, 2020 9:56 am ET

A private graveside service will be held in Montreal on Monday for Standardbred owner and deal-maker Gerry Bloch, who died in his sleep on Friday, Sept. 18 at age 78.

"Gerry lived for harness racing. He knew everybody," said Rick Karper, longtime director of the Quebec horsemen's association.

Active for many years in the retail clothing business, Bloch owned racehorses for more than four decades, most notably pacer Mark Johnathan, who almost pulled off a major upset in the $1-million North America Cup at Greenwood in 1990, losing by a nose to Apaches Fame.

He later became an agent and scout, orchestrating private horse sales for clients throughout North America.

One of the biggest deals he initiated involved pacer Lis Mara, who changed hands for $245,000 as a four-year-old and went on to win the Canadian Pacing Derby, Breeders Crown, and more than $2 million.

"I'll tell you, it's more stressful spending other people's money than your own. You don't want to be wrong," he told the Montreal Gazette in a 2007 interview.

Gerry Bloch is survived by his wife of 51 years, Doreen, and children Mark and Bonnie.

Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the family and friends of Gerry Bloch.

How do online Payday Loans in Pennsylvania work?

All short-term loans in Pennsylvania are regulated by the state’s laws. Every borrower should study them in detail before submitting a loan request. After you’ve made up your mind go online to apply for the necessary amount:

  1. Fill out an application form online;
  2. Get matched with a lender;
  3. Receive the money same day after being approved.

Why should I consider Pennsylvania Payday Loans online?

Payday Loans turn out a really good idea for Pennsylvania residents if you’ve faced any of the following situations:

  • You’ve been rejected by banks and credit unions for your bad credit or bankruptcy or any other reason.
  • You like 70% of Americans lack money to pay for everyday bills, utilities, rent, or
  • You have numerous debts which must be repaid urgently or they may lead to enormous rates. Use a loan to consolidate these credits into one.
  • You feel ashamed or embarrassed to ask your relatives and friends for help.
  • You have a not very good credit history and don’t want to affect it by numerous loan requests. No credit check Payday Loans are perfect for you.

What do Pennsylvania Payday lenders require?

To be approved for a short-term cash advance a borrower needs to:

  • Be over 18 years old;
  • Be a resident of Pennsylvania;
  • Have an active banking account;
  • Provide a proof of income.

The eligibility criteria may vary according to the lender but all in all they are pretty much the same and don’t usually include any minimal credit score or income requirements.

What are the rates and repayment terms of Payday Loans in Pennsylvania?

Payday Loans are called short-term as they must be repaid within 14 – 30 days on average. Lenders usually allow to prepay earlier without any additional fees. In case you can’t pay the money back on time, you may request a rollover, extension or repayment plan.

The cost of cash advance in Pennsylvania is determined by the annual percentage rate, or APR. It varies from 300% to 1200% but on average it’s 400%. Besides, you may be charged:

  1. Verification or loan processing fee.
  2. Acquisition charges.
  3. NSF fee, etc.

Find out the rates and fees in advance with the lender before you submit the loan agreement.

Can Pennsylvania borrowers get a Payday Loan with bad credit?

Your credit score rating has never been the most important factor determining your Payday Loan approval chances. Though it can have some impact on the amount and cost of cash advance, it doesn’t prevent you from getting one. Apply for instant Payday Loan online and the funds will be in your account within 1 – 2 days, or even same day regardless of the figures on your credit report.

Any chances to get NO credit check Payday Loans in Pennsylvania?

As bad credit is not a problem for getting an online Payday cash advance in PA so is credit check not a must. Most lenders offer loans with no hard inquiry. They make sure you pay back the money by looking at your income, not your previous debts. But be careful not to default the credit as the consequences may be dreadful.

We can’t but agree that Payday Loans are one of the easiest and fastest ways to obtain the cash advance. But you always have to pay for such convenience. So you’d better be ready for high rates and some other things accompanying short-term loans:

  • Additional fees;
  • Scams;
  • Default penalties;
  • Collecting practices;
  • Third parties selling your information, etc.

Make sure you borrow from a legal lender and read the agreement carefully to be on the safe side.

Pennsylvania Payday Loans alternatives

Growing in Faith, Together with the “Good Shepherd”

Staff Faith Development Program

On October 23rd, the staff of SCCS visited the Atrium at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church where the catechesis of the Good Shepherd is offered. Maureen, the parish catechetical coordinator, gently led the 25 adult educators through the parable of the Good Shepherd, using  little figurines, and biblical readings in the style used with children between the ages of 3-6. Then the group was invited to explore the centers available throughout the atrium, including a diorama of the Sea of Galilee, a little prayer corner, and a child-sized altar, complete with vessels and vestments.

This catechesis style was developed by Sofia Cavalletti and her Montessori collaborator, Gianna Gobbi, in Rome in the 1950’s. It has been offered in various parishes in both the Winnipeg and St. Boniface Archdiocese.

Every year, the staff at SCCS take the time to develop their own faith. This year the focus by staff is the development of personal prayer lives. At the induction ceremony at the first school Mass, each staff member received a copy of “With Open Hands” by Henri Nouwen. This little pocket primer begins with the story of a woman learning to shift from living with clenched fists to living with open hands – a concept on which the staff will be reflecting throughout 2014-2015.

Throughout the year, the staff will be visiting various locations within the Archdiocese and experiencing the different prayers styles offered within the charisms of the religious institutions.

Published By Beth Lueders on March 12, 2019

As a gerontologist working for nearly 30 years in health promotion/administration and Alzheimer’s disease, Dr. Diane Darby Beach specializes in trainings on dementia care for families and care professionals. Dr. Beach has a master’s degree in public health and a doctorate in education and is a spokesperson for the Right at Home Cognitive Support Program. Below, Dr. Beach provides answers to questions about communicating with a person who has dementia, to benefit family and professional caregivers.

How does dementia affect communication pathways in the brain?

Especially with Alzheimer’s-type dementia, the plaques and tangles in the brain affect a person’s judgment and reasoning. The person with dementia struggles to reason clearly and they have a lapse in judgment. They might give money away or dress for a Minnesota snowstorm when it’s 80 degrees. These behaviors create communication dilemmas; many times, it’s because the short-term memory is failing while the long-term memory is intact. As caregivers, we have to remember that.

A person with dementia can also become “aphasic,” meaning their verbal communication is completely gone. Patients who have had a stroke or who have dementia and are aphasic may get some of their verbal communication back with rehabilitation, but with Alzheimer’s dementia, the most common form of dementia, once verbal communication is gone, it’s gone. The important thing to remember is that even though the loved one’s verbal communication is absent, their nonverbal communication improves.

How do dementia behaviors alter interpersonal communication?

When people with dementia express repetitive questioning, or they shadow you or show combative behavior, that’s how they’re communicating with you, because they don’t have the words anymore. Their language comes out in behaviors. When we learn how to manage the behaviors of a person with dementia, then we can redirect the behaviors, much like we would a three-year-old, and get the person focused on something else. And the heart of this is the ability to validate and redirect patients with dementia through communication. To do this effectively, you have to know the person with dementia.

Family caregivers need to know what their loved one likes and dislikes. What did the person with dementia do for a living? What makes them happy? What were their hobbies? You can use all of this information to validate the person and redirect their behavior. Professional staff in home care or in an assisted living environment can be trained on how to obtain an accurate social/emotional history. It is vital to get a medical history, but also vital to figure out the social/emotional background to learn how to validate and redirect the patient with dementia.

For example, I had a client with dementia who was a retired elementary schoolteacher and lived at home with her daughter. Every day, this former teacher would get agitated in the morning because she would collect papers around her. In her mind, she thought she was getting ready for school. Her daughter, bless her heart, was trying to talk her mother out of her morning school preparation. “Mom, you’re no longer a schoolteacher,” she would say. “You retired 20 years ago.”

But that was about the worst thing the daughter could do, because the daughter just invalidated her mom, and her mom was thinking, “What do you mean, I’m not a schoolteacher?” The mom would get more agitated, and then it was a vicious cycle. To handle this situation, we hone in on the person with dementia’s sense of purpose. Teaching was this mother’s sense of purpose for many years. When we validate and redirect the loved one, we may need to tell a little white lie, which I call “therapeutic fibbing.” You could say, “Mom, you are a teacher,” not, “You were a teacher,” because in the mother’s current moment, she is a schoolteacher. You could say, “Mom, you are a phenomenal teacher, and your kids love you, but you know what? It’s Saturday; there’s no school today. Let’s get breakfast.”

In a home care or facility situation, Right at Home uses person-centered care to talk to family members to get the loved one’s full history, particularly their social/emotional history, to put into their care plan. This is not a cookie-cutter approach. The way I communicate with client Alice is probably going to be different than the way I communicate with client Bob. It’s all about knowing the person and individualizing the messages to the occasion and the care.

How does this person-centered care play out in day-to-day interactions?

Validate, redirect, and then go slowly with somebody with dementia. Because the more you rush somebody with dementia, the more they get agitated. If the caregiver gets upset, then the person with dementia is like a sponge; they pick up on that and express more behaviors. And now you’re in trouble, because it’s 10 times harder to get out of the behavior cycle than it is to prevent it in the first place. A person with dementia can handle one or two steps at a time—two maximum. If a daughter with a mother who has dementia greets Mom in the morning by saying, “Mom, we’re going to have breakfast, then we’re going to take a shower, then we’ll get dressed, and then I’ll take you to your doctor,” you’ve lost her at “breakfast.”

What are some steps to improve communication with people with dementia?

You need thorough documentation and a social/emotional history on the individual. For example, if a Right at Home caregiver walks into a new client’s house and the client, who has dementia, has never had breakfast before 10 a.m. and the caregiver tries to get the client to eat at 8:30 a.m., the caregiver will have a problem. You need the social/emotional history and personal data to validate and redirect.

A few other communication tips include the following:

Use short, simple sentences. Talk slowly. When a caregiver walks into a home to take care of somebody with dementia, whatever energy the caregiver brings, the person with dementia is going to pick up on it. For example, if I’ve just had an argument with my husband and haven’t quite cleared myself of that and I go in to take care of Sally, she’s going to pick up on that energy quick—that’s the client with dementia’s nonverbal intuitiveness. If you’re sad, if you’re happy, if you’re anxious, they will know.

Use eye contact. When you look at anyone, you’re telling that person you care about them, that they are a priority, and that you’re listening. I tell home caregivers all the time, when you go to a client with dementia’s home, the person may not have any words, so engage them in eye contact and listen for feelings. The more you get to know the person, the more you know when they’re anxious or sad, and then you can put words to their feelings even when they don’t have words.

Be proactive with communication. Let’s say your loved one with dementia slips into what is called “sundowning,” when they have confusion or agitated behaviors in late afternoon or early evening. It is difficult when the behavior occurs to try to talk the person with dementia into doing something else or validate and redirect them. Instead, if you know the person experiences sundowning at 4:30 p.m. or so every day and you’re just waiting for the behavior to happen, you can become proactive and engage the person in an activity ahead of time. Take them for a walk or do an art project. As a family member or professional caregiver, choose to be proactive rather than reactive and waiting for the sundowning to occur.

Focus on what the person can still do, rather than on what they can’t do. That’s a communication strategy in terms of modifying the activities for the person with dementia. Let’s say our client was always a good cook, but now she can’t process all the steps in a recipe. But if you cut up or measure all the ingredients, maybe she can still put the ingredients in the skillet or bowl and stir them. As the dementia progresses and the client becomes bedbound, you may be able to take her in a wheelchair to the kitchen and let her smell the ingredients. That’s still activating her senses, which is good for her brain, and she’s still getting some enjoyment out of that.

What advice do you have for family caregivers of loved ones with dementia?

Practice self-care. The most important thing is your own self-care. It sounds counterintuitive, because if you’re a family caregiver, you’re a giver, and you tend to put your loved one first. But if you don’t take care of yourself, I guarantee you, you’re not going to be well enough or even around to take care of your loved one with dementia. So stay in touch with your friends, go out for coffee, keep up with your exercise program, eat well, and try to sleep well.

Pace yourself. There are a lot of family members, especially spouses, who’ll say, “No, no, no. I’ve got this.” No, you do not have this. If you go at a pace that’s so fast, thinking you’re only running a couple of miles, and then you get one mile into dementia care and realize that this is a marathon and you’ve got 25+ miles to go, you’re going to burn out.

Recognize that you are not alone. Don’t let yourself get isolated. Ask for help and accept help when it’s offered. Call Right at Home, which can send resources and “A Guide for Those Supporting Loved Ones With Dementia or Cognitive Change,” or set you up with home care or respite care. Call the Alzheimer’s Association. Support groups are available. Talk with other people who are in the same boat, so you won’t feel so alone. Practice self-care, pace yourself and know you’re not alone. And please don’t be afraid to ask for help. We are all here for you.

While we’re not shy in admitting to never going big on Minecraft, a game that has such a huge following but one that just didn’t grab us, the idea of merging Dragon Quest with some building mechanics piqued our interest when it first launched back in 2016

Some years later and with the launch of Nintendo’s Switch, what better platform to port this RPG-Builder to and explore it for the first time. Especially as Dragon Quest is one JRPG that holds a bright candle in our hearts.

Set after the events of the original Dragon Quest, Builders takes us through an alternate timeline in the long since destroyed Alefgard in which the few left no longer have the ability to build or create.

A simple enough premise giving you enough of a jumping off point to begin your immersion into the world but one which requires essentially no prior knowledge of the previous entries to understand or even fall in love with the games style, enemies and overall shot of nostalgia with its classic Zelda feels.

After a fairly thorough tutorial, giving you all the know how you need to get building, from full on structures to surviving in the harsh wilderness of Alefgard (hot tip, don’t stray too far from a light source when the night falls) Dragon Quest Builders takes the training wheels off and leaves you to build as you see fit.

Thankfully building is simple enough to understand but expansive enough for you to let your imagination run away with you, creating towns of your own.

It’s a hugely satisfying experience, especially when your creations can be built, upgraded and even taken down again with simple commands that feel natural to control.

There are story-based mission of course, as towns folk will need a hand from time to time building anything from simple bedrooms to bathhouses and even wandering the more dangerous parts of the world in search of precious materials and possible new towns-folk.

Simplicity is at the games core though as combat is just as easy to adopt as the main building mechanic, opting for a classic Zelda-esque real-time combat system which is much pacier than the series turn based combat and fits extremely well with the over feel of this iteration.

And while the world here may seem a little different for experienced Dragon Quest fans there are plenty of familiar monsters to deal with; from metal-slime to golems, which appear the further, you delve into the wilderness. Each dropping crucial building materials.

Exploring while treacherous is seldom a waste of time, as all areas of the world from it’s deserts to it’s forests have plenty of secrets to distract you and give you yet another reason to stray from your quest and sink some more time into.

Dragon Quest Builders (Nintendo Switch)

£34.99 £34.99

Perhaps the most interesting aspect we found, however, was the many sieges you’ll encounter once you’ve progressed a little further into your adventure.

As an array of the games nasty’s tear towards all four walls of your towns, you’ll need to prepare barriers and automated defences to survive the onslaught.

These miniaturised tower defence moments are fun and challenging without entering into hair pulling territory.

When you factor in the games free build mode, allowing you to simply create to your hearts content minus the enemy onslaughts and limited supplies, then it shows how

Dragon Quest Builders is a big game disguised in a simple package, and one that fits perfectly with the Switch.

We found ourselves constantly dipping in and out on train journeys before docking at home for longer sessions, delightfully hooked on the games world and that niggling need to spend 5 more minutes building the next addition to our towns.

Whether you’re new to Dragon Quest or this style of creation based game, you’re sure to be fully enthralled.

• Simple but addictive building system
• Great soundtrack
• Familiar Monsters
• Nostalgic feel and aesthetic

• No multiplayer

If businesses and marketers want to know what’s on Gen Xers’ minds in 2019, they need look no further than Snapchat.

Snap Inc. has identified the top games, tech, beauty, slang, memes and celebs that are trending upward on its flagship app as a way for its business partners to “get inspired for your upcoming products, creative and messaging.”

“Minecraft” is expected to remain popular next year, as are Apple’s wireless AirPods. Meanwhile, marketers might want to familiarize themselves with such slang as “YKTV” (“you know the vibes”), “on a date, kinda nervous” and “born day,” as well as the “you had one job” and “my last brain cell” memes.

Here’s what else Snap (NYSE: SNAP) has been up to recently:

Snap’s to-do list for 2019: Add more users before it runs out of money
CEO Evan Spiegel [has] quite a long to-do list for 2019, to say the least. He’s said in earnings calls that he still thinks Snap can turn a profit in 2019 — but it will be a serious stretch goal. Here’s what will need to be at the top of Snap’s to-do list in order to make that happen. (VentureBeat)

Snap reportedly turned down Facebook a second time
Snap Inc. CEO Evan Spiegel famously turned down a $3 billion offer from Facebook to buy the then two-year-old Snapchat in 2013. If ever he regretted that decision, he reportedly had a second chance three years later to sell his hot ephemeral messaging app to the social media giant. (L.A. Biz)

China’s WeChat is the latest to get Snap-like ‘Stories’
WeChat, the Chinese messaging giant with more than 1 billion monthly active users around the world, just added a Snap-like ephemeral video feature as part of its biggest overhaul since 2014. (TechCrunch)

Snap CEO Evan Spiegel was at the heart of a Wall Street Journal company profile this week.

Evan Spiegel’s imperious style made Snapchat a success — until users fled
Snap, once seen as a viable competitor to Facebook, is struggling after the CEO ignored warnings about a redesign that proved unpopular.” (The Wall Street Journal) Subscriber content

Snapchat changes specs to look past the iPhone generation
As [Snap] looks back on 2018, where it recorded losses of more than $1 billion on revenues of just $791 million in the first three quarters, the clear target is to improve revenues and head towards profitability. It aims to do that in two ways: by getting more users who own smartphones running Google’s Android software; and by delivering more adverts to all its users through “programmatic” advertising bought automatically by ad agencies. (The Guardian)

Juul’s $12.8B deal is the biggest U.S. funding ever. Here’s the rest of the Top 11
Last week’s funding deal in which Marlboro cigarette maker Altria Group Inc. bought a 35 percent stake in San Francisco vape startup Juul Labs Inc. is by far the biggest investment ever in a U.S. venture-backed company. Two of the Top 11, including Snap Inc., involve Los Angeles-area companies and five of the top deals all came in 2018. (Silicon Valley Business Journal)

These were Snapchat’s most popular lenses and Bitmojis of 2018
Lenses led the pack in 2018 when it came to one of the most used features in the Snapchat app, with [a] Snap spokesperson saying, “augmented reality and our Lenses continued to take one of the most central roles in the Snapchat experience.” (Fast Company)

Snap employees won’t get bonuses again this year
With Snap Inc. shares closing at an all-time low, it probably should come as no surprise that the social media company won’t be giving its employees cash bonuses this year. The Snapchat maker didn’t give out bonuses last year, either. (L.A. Biz)

RED DEATH "Permanent Exile" CD
Grave Mistake Records

RED DEATH "Permanent Exile" CD

CD version!

In 2014, DC's RED DEATH came out of the gate and obliterated everyone with one of the best hardcore demos of the year. Their first recorded output channeled the sheer brutality and precision of crossover classics like Animosity and Cause for Alarm, without straying too far from the rawness and reckless abandon of hardcore punk.  On their new LP, Permanent Exile, Red Death delivers exactly as we hope a band with a strong outset should - with an even more powerful and focused follow up release.  While influences on Permanent Exile range from Negative Approach to The Accused to Anti-Cimex, one thing is made clearly evidently: Red Death are first and foremost a hardcore band.  As hardcore and punk get more fractionalized each year, they are band that puts emphasis and importance on the music they are creating, rather than what scene they fit in or what uniform they are wearing.  Permanent Exile is the record for those of us who appreciate every facet of hardcore, punk, metal, and all genres in between - and that says a lot in 2015.

There are many ways to be involved in what's happening around the world right now. Visibility is an important and effective strategy. At the moment there is also overwhelming need for resources. V
ictim’s families need money. Bail funds need money. Rebuilding funds need money. Under-served and targeted communities are in the streets during a global pandemic, crying out for their right to live. Time to pick which side you're on.

This Google doc contains valuable information about protest safety, as well as countless resources to help you become better informed and a more effective advocate & ally.
As we began to plan, organize and rise up for a more just society, it's important to familiarize ourselves with the work of activists and thinkers who paved the way.  Included are .pdfs, books, movies, and helpful documents.  Pass it around!
Until further notice, 100% proceeds of MRAA / FTP gear will be donated to #RestoreNorth, a partnership between the Northside Funders Group and West Broadway Business and Area Coalition, which is trying to raise $5 million dollars to rebuild black owned businesses and communities in North Minneapolis.

The #FilmThePolice hashtag was created in support of and to stand in solidarity with the people on the front lines who are helping keep the police accountable for their actions.

American citizens–and particularly people of color–have lived under the threat of police brutality for a very long time, and it is escalating - recently resulting in outrage over the death of unarmed 18 year old Michael Brown and the excessive force being displayed by the police in Ferguson, MO.

The video for #FilmThePolice racked up roughly another 14,000 views, as a new wave of people are sharing it all over the web and using the hashtag we created.  I’m proud of that phenomenon, and want to go further by encouraging you to STEAL THIS SHIRT... Draw that shit on your chest with a sharpie, write it on a wall, put it up in lights… ‘Let’s protect one another from the fucking goon squad.’

Lastly, in case there was any ambiguity, I’d like to make it known that this song was meant as an addendum to the original, not a replacement.
In other words… FUCK THE POLICE. I join with millions of Americans in demanding Justice for Michael Brown and all victims of police violence.

No Justice, No Peace. Stay on the battlefield.” -B. DOLAN

Manufactured from molecular sieve (60%) and polymer (40%), this Versatile Moisture Adsorbing Polymer (VMAP) is ideal for adsorbing odours and other volatile organic compounds. Its composition allows the shape of the polymer-based desiccant can be customised for applications that require complex shapes to fit the available space.

A practical alternative to desiccant bags, the VMAP minimizes the risk of fibre loss and desiccant dust contamination. Thus, this desiccant is perfect for applications that requires a high level of cleanliness such as electronics, sensors, semiconductors, medical devices, circuit boards, optics, shipping, and storage. The operating temperature ranges from -40 degree celsius to 90 degree celsius.

Using screw fasteners, adhesives, or other mechanical retention methods, the structure can be readily fixed in place. To reduce maintenance costs, this polymer desiccant is incorporated with controlled adsorption properties to prolong the life of the desiccant. This indicates that the desiccant is optimised for long time frame operations, protecting the product for a very long time.

Reproductive system

By Levi Clancy for Student Reader on

▶ View related▼ Tap to hide

Sex organs not only produce gametes but also secrete sex hormones. Sex hormone secretion is controlled by the pituitary gland hormones such as FSH and LH. While both sexes make some of each of the hormones, typically male testes secrete primarily androgens including testosterone. Female ovaries make estrogen and progesterone in varying amounts depending on where in her cycle a woman is. In a pregnant woman, the baby's placenta also secretes hormones to maintain the pregnancy.

Oral contraceptives contain synthetic steroids that inhibit release of GnRH and then of FSH and LH, so no egg is released. However, the estrogen and progesterone in the pill supports the uterine cycle; suspension of the pill each month permits menstruation. Two new hypothalamic peptides work in opposition to control: Gonadotropin-inhibiting hormone (GnIH) inhibits and kisspeptin stimulates GnRH secretion.

Geometric Shift Dress

IMG_2773It was hard for me to shift (get it?) into this trend because shapeless dresses don’t always flatter my specific body type. When I found this particular shift dress, the pattern appealed to me but I still wasn’t fully sold until I put it on. I love that it isn’t so stiff and moves with me (and the wind). The neckline is different and flattering for a bigger chest as it provides depth. Extra shape and flare are provided by the longer cut in the back. The color simplicity of black and white mixed with several abstract, geometric patterns make this dress very versatile (and FUN!). I have worn it to work, to both daytime and evening events, and I would even wear it to a dressy-casual summer wedding. I loved pairing this dress with a bright coral Hobo Bag to make it pop and incorporate a spring-time feel.IMG_2749 (1){Shift Dress, Hobo Bag (smaller version here), Cole Haan Pumps, Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in Party StarterIMG_2778IMG_2770IMG_2781IMG_2786IMG_2754 (1)IMG_2836

CSA Wishes YOU a Happy New Year 2020!

new years

As we all embark on an exciting and promising new year, I think it is important to review the CSA successes of 2019 which have served to pave a smooth path for the upcoming year.

Support groups

One of our biggest initiatives in 2019 was to develop and launch a support system for regional CSA support groups across the country. Thanks to the tireless efforts, the expertise and dedication of Lauren Linkie, the CSA Regional Support Group Coordinator, Anna Huynh, the CSA Volunteer Coordinator, the CSA Board of Directors, and with the tremendous help and advice of Tom Scharstein and of the National Stuttering Association, we already have active support groups in Toronto, Ottawa, Belleville, Regina, Calgary, and Edmonton with more on the way! If you are missing a support group in your area and/or would consider leading such a group, let us know! Check out our listing of support groups for more information.

Monthly Giving Challenge

We also launched a Monthly Giving Challenge. As you know, the CSA is entirely run and governed by volunteers operating on a minimal annual budget, with no government funding. So, we decided that if our members could each consider raising even a few dollars per month from friends and family as guaranteed monthly donations, it would give us enough of a foundation for our budget to support further initiatives, such as a more robust scholarship program, public outreach projects and our important new child and family initiative. Since the launch of the program last fall, we have already received $100 per month! Thank you so much! We look forward to more donations as the program continues! I also want to thank all of our donors and sponsors, who help the CSA to achieve our mission and vision.

Annual Conference

Our annual Conference in October was the best yet! Thank you to our sponsors, Harmonize for Speech and The Stones Group for helping to make this conference such a success! We had record attendance, an excellent Keynote Speaker, David Stones, and we also streamed John Gomez’s award winning documentary, When I Stutter, which was a huge success! We’ve already started planning for our Conference in 2020!!!

Strategic Plan

Leading us into 2020 and the future and thanks to the guidance and expertise of David Stones and colleague Gail Tolley, another exciting development in 2019 was the launch of our new 5 year Strategic Plan, called STEPPS (Strategies To Ensure The Potential of People Who Stutter). The main initiatives of STEPPS 2019 - 2023 are:

  • Continue to encourage and facilitate the formation of support groups across Canada, and to support those that already exist within the parameters of current resources.
  • Develop a child-specific support initiative, with focus on schools, SLPs in schools and information/education for teachers.
  • Focus on the best ways to raise much needed revenue in support of CSA programs/services
  • Assess stakeholder interest in expanding the conference concept, i.e. nationally or increasing conference length
  • Strengthen and reinforce the CSA mandate/role with SLPs across Canada

So, you can see that, though we had a very busy, productive and successful 2019, we’ve really got our work cut out for us in 2020! In addition to the initiatives above, we are also planning future documentary screenings of When I Stutter and also of My Beautiful Stutter.

On behalf of the CSA Board of Directors and our volunteers, I wish you all a very healthy, prosperous, successful and productive new year! The CSA cherishes YOU and we hope that our initiatives reach and support each and every one of you in 2020.
