Michael Collier
Head of Human Performance, McLaren Applied

McLaren’s World’s Fastest Gamer esports competition will see its eventual winner become an official McLaren simulator driver. It’s a unique opportunity for any racer, or non-racer, to begin to experience what it feels like to be a Formula 1 driver.

After working with former F1 World Champion, Jenson Button for almost a decade, I know the importance of the simulator to the team. It helps the engineers set the car up to suit a particular track, informs race strategy, and prepares the driver for the mental and physical challenge of driving the real car.

As the Head of Human Performance at McLaren Applied, the advanced technology, innovation and design company, I wanted to give you an insight into how you would feel if you drove our simulator, and what the engineers will be expecting from you.

So, here’s a few things to think about.

1. Physical training

The simulator will not replicate the full physical demands of driving a Formula 1 car, but it will be close. As fun as racing games are, they can’t replicate the 120-130kg brake pressures required to slow a Formula 1 car down, or the G-forces you’ll experience through high-speed corners or under heavy braking, so you’ll need to be in reasonable shape.

You’ll be glad to know that the simulator has power steering, which means you won’t need a massive amount of upper body strength.

2. Immersion

Sparco Gaming develops immersive race seats and Logitech G produces steering wheels and pedals to provide some of the perceptual cues experienced in racing to enhance the gaming experience, but the simulator provides the next level of fidelity, providing drivers with greater physical and cognitive immersion over a lap.

You’ll be sitting in a Formula 1 chassis which is tight and compact, surrounded by a 180-degree screen, which can feel claustrophobic if you aren’t used it. It will take time to get used to being in such a restricted environment, as you will be used to racing games in the comfort of your own home.

3. Motion sickness

It’s very likely that you’ll experience disorientation, eyestrain, fatigue, a headache and even vomiting the first few times you drive the simulator. This is because your brain experiences a sensory mismatch, as you’re physically moving very little, but moving fast around the track.

Don’t let this put you off. Elite Formula 1 drivers experience motion sickness, and there’s very little you can do to avoid it…

4. Driving skill

If you’re a seriously talented gamer, I would expect you to have excellent hand-eye coordination. Changing gears, breaking, and accelerating all within seconds of each other is standard practice for an F1 driver.

You’ll need excellent racing know-how and skill. Racing is about tactics which includes picking the best racing lines, being intelligent with your Pirelli tyres and fuel, and detecting a fault before it occurs and ends your session.

5. Communication

When you play a game, you’re playing on your own. But Formula 1 is a team game, so good communication is vital.

Simulator drivers and engineers work closely together, as the driver can provide information that data from telemetry systems can’t detect, such as how the car feels when its cornering. The engineer’s job is to find out how the car is performing to extract the maximum performance out of the car.

6. Technical set up

The manual set up of a Formula 1 car is complex, and even though most of that is down to the engineers, you’ll still need a basic understanding of the motions of the car including the understeer, oversteer, camber, roll, pitch and yaw.

7. Endurance

I know some gamers can play on their PlayStation or Xbox all day, but simulation sessions are mentally and physically enduring because of the detail it requires to perfect a car set-up. On occasion, they can last all day.

I hope that helps anybody considering entering the World’s Fastest Gamer contest, and good luck

Teh Google, SERPs, and Technology Newz...

Normal people want to make more money and smart people know that as time goes by, the Interwebs is going to be the way to do that quickly and efficiently.

Since I fancy myself a smart guy, I have been spending some time trying to figure out how to rake in the dust online. Obviously, the MAIN issue is getting traffic to your page. This is easily done if you do a few very simple things.

First, you have to embrace Teh Google. Make no mistake, Teh Google simply must keep getting better or it shall be replaced as the Search Engine of choice. Right now, though, Teh Google is the main game. I was asked this morning if I was really such a Google fanboi and I must answer in the affirmative. I want traffic, so I must embrace the technology that delivers around 80% of my traffic right now. I am also playing with Bing, but seriously, their SERPs are just not very good. I do not care what the tech blogs say, I can search for hours on Bing and NEVER find anything that remotely answers my query.

Here's the target that I chased yesterday, "sarah palin nude." *Click the image to see it bigger* When we started trying to rank, there were just slightly over 1.1 million results for that string. Today, there are 1.07 million (see "B"). I dunno why we lost around 30k results, though. De-indexing maybe? But, you see that my post went up just after noon yesterday, by one of the clock, I was already number one on Teh Google Blog Search. So, it took less than thirty minute to be AT THE TOP of "Blog Search." I did make it briefly onto the front page of Google's main search page and this screenshot was taken right before I started this post. We are on the middle of page two.

I also showed you in the post yesterday that there were no GOOD images in the Instant Preview. As you can clearly see, mine has a clear photo (see "D") with a very good preview paragraph (see "C") talking specifically about Sarah Palin getting all nude-y and stuff. No preview that is outranking me is better. But,w ill I keep that traffic that we grabbed with less than admirable means? Of course not. Will that traffic be valuable in the long run? Well, they will never come back, so the answer is a big NO.

Where is this diatribe going? To consistently rank and get more and more traffic, you have to rank for the searches that people WANT. When you get that traffic, you have to be able to hold those folks in order to monetize their traffic. That is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier said than done, though. However, I have gone from about 400 regular hits per day to a little over 2000 per day since I started this traffic experiment. "Larissa Riquelme nude" did not hurt either.

Quick tips for traffic surges: Number one is obviously have a post title that is provocative. For instance, if you want to rank for Barry Obama, I suggest something to the effect of "Barry Obama Caught With Reggie Love's Junk in His Mouth." Then fire up Teh Twittah, use the same title with a shortened url, and add the hashtags #tcot, #p2, #ocra and #rebelleft. Works like a charm.

By the way, Teh Google has actually published a pdf on Search Engine Optimization. (Right click and download, it is a hotlink, I'm so bad.)

If you want some actual sustainable traffic tips, you should sign up for my newsletter at the pop-up on my website. No, I shall never give you e-mail out, I shall never spam you, and I'll never ask you for money. Well, unless you want to donate to my Pay Pal at linked on the right sidebar.

By the way, speaking of the right sidebar, please note that I now have a QR Code there. Try out your smart phone with it and you'll get all my contact info. I feel like James Bond with that crap. If you want to make your own, shoot me an e-mail and I'll let you know how.

Here be the Tech Links, yo...

You did know that Twitter has instant notifications, right? If you are like me, you turned them off because walking through the grocery listening to "DROID DROID DROID DROID" can get pretty irritating. It does help to know who re-Tweets your stuff, though. It builds relationships, which is important to making MONEY.

And here's how to customize your Twittah background with their latest interface.

If you want to know how your site stacks up against others for traffic and stuff, do a little research at this site. Enter the competitor's url and find out what they are up to.

Needlebase is another great tool for checking out your competition, and ReadWriteWeb has information to help you use it.

As far as your traffic is concerned, video is a great way to get noticed, too. If you are filling up the Twittah and the FAILbook with stuff, you can now link to You Tube COMMENTS and send traffic in more than one way. Fun stuff. You Tube comments are awesome for dropping links to your site, too. Keep in mind, You Tube is owned by Teh Google and they index everydamnedthing.

Another great Teh Google tool for increasing links, traffic, and expertise is their Moderator service. Post a series and get free Teh Google traffic to wherever and whenever you want.

By the way, if you are going to be making money online, you need to get LEGAL. You need to post a Privacy Policy and a Terms/Conditions page. Those two links shall make accomplishing those two tasks simple as pudding pie. You're welcome, hit the damned Pay Pal to compensate for my legal advice. (I am not an attorney, plus I do not lie, cheat, and steal, either. They will not let me be an attorney because I do not fit the three primary requirements.)

The Google Commerce Search is one year old.

Analytics has added some more features, AGAIN. Dude, I can't ever catch up with all their stuff.

Teh Google Affiliates has added some new folks. SEARS!!! Just in time for Christmas, too!!!

Man, it is STILL snowing here and I am starving to death. I wish there was a woman around to make me a damned sammich. Check out the latest Tivo special below, too. It is FREE FREE FREE!!!

Please take the time to comment.

Check out this great deal on TIVO.

TD, I'm late on this one...crazy day yesterday, with more to come.

You're still on the front page as of 9:25 am (real time...not that junk y'all use). Yours is the last listing, but the difference in hits from first page to second is stunning.

LA Clippers Rookie Caught on Live PD, Tells Cop ‘I Don’t Have a Job’

Whenever you tune into A&E’s hit show Live PD, you never know what you’re going to see, considering that the program follows multiple police departments live on the air. At times, we’ve witnessed tense drama, such as a high-speed chase ending with a police officer battling a man holding a baby in his arms.

And other times, we get what we had last night, in which a familiar face suddenly pops up, leading some viewers to go “I know that guy!”

During an incident in Richland County, South Carolina, Lt. Danny Brown questioned a man who had pulled over to check on a woman who was pulled over for speeding. It turned out that not only was the man a former college basketball star in the area — South Carolina’s Sindarius Thornwell — but he had just recently signed a contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Brown described the incident as he walked up to Thornwell’s brand new Porsche, stating that the woman was chasing Thornwell in her car with his clothes in the back as she was apparently kicking him out of the house over him attending a party. When he reached Thornwell, he asked the basketball player where he worked at.

“I don’t have a job,” Thornwell responded, despite having just signed a three-year, $3.8 million deal a couple days earlier and wearing a Clippers T-shirt. Brown noted that he looked familiar, obviously referencing the fact he was a big star in the area.

The two men discussed the incident a bit, with Brown leaving Thornwell after verifying everything was OK. Of course, sharp-eyed sports fans jumped on Twitter to note Thornwell’s appearance:

And Thornwell himself commented shortly after his Live PD debut, highlighting that his girlfriend wasn’t kicking him out:

Petersen's Hunting

I generally try not to kill things. I know, I know -- li'l hypocritical Larry, always respecting the life around him until he gets one of his thrice-weekly jones for a big honkin' cheeseburger. But really: I try not to kill people, animals or plants without a solid, defensible-in-court reason. I'm a lot like Gandhi that way.

At the same time, I don't judge those who do. Frankly, I gave up on the rest of humanity once it became clear that we're less interested in living well and sustaining the planet than we are in getting Flavor Flav laid. So I walked into today's romp through Petersen's Hunting with exactly zero preconceived notions and/or agendas, except twin desires to avoid getting strafed and resorting to Cheney jokes.

As has been stated roughly 3746364536374 times before in this space, I'm a fan of enthusiast titles. In this not-nice magazine climate -- think the Bataan Death March, but with more suggestions for the "perfect weekend" -- enthusiast mags alone inspire the loyalty that used to be enjoyed by both generalist and niche titles. People tend to pay more attention to stuff that is focused, Hubble Telescope-like, on their core interests. That's plain old common sense.

Petersen's Hunting gets this. If you like to hang out in the woods and neutralize Little Rabbit Foo Foo before he scoops up all the field mice and bops them on the head, you will like this magazine very, very much. If you're less ammunitionally inclined, you won't. It's that darn simple.

Still, with a few tweaks Petersen's Hunting could do a much better job of serving its armed-to-the-teeth readers. Given the mag's overarching subject -- the great outdoors, in all its critter-vaporizing glory -- you'd think that it would push the envelope a bit with its photography. Instead, we're mostly treated to shots the size of post-it notes and generic wildlife poses (er, as much as soon-to-be-exterminated deer can pose, that is). The text-intensive layouts don't exactly enliven the reading experience, either.

Petersen's Hunting would also be advised to shake hands with the devil: specifically, to hire a liberal-arts major and charge him/her with overhauling its captions and headlines. There's gotta be some kid out there who wants the gig, either a words-first person who enjoys hunting or a gal who has so many student loans that she's drawn to the job out of sheer desperation.

The mag's headlines lack imagination ("Federal Land Whitetails," "Pure Adventure") and the captions more often confuse than tantalize ("trails like this can carry you along the spine of the high country old mule deer bucks prefer. But you need to get up there in the dark if you are to find them"). Similarly, while the writers gamely attempt to spruce up their prose (one story begins with the English 101 flourish, "After my shot, the woods would sigh"), all too often they trip over their literary intentions. The editors could use another pair of eyes, basically.

From a subject-matter perspective, the October Petersen's Hunting fares much better. Rather than devote excessive space to the war stories that usually fill publications of this ilk ("so I've got Bambi's mom in the crosshairs, when all of a sudden it hits me: I totally left the oven on!"), the mag covers a lot of ground. The front-of-book "Outfitter" section recommends a few Virginia forests and calls for coyote control; other smaller items include an oddly nostalgic look at lever-action rifles and a genuinely intriguing examination on the effect that a U.S./Mexico border fence might have on wildlife.

The feature on modern mule deer hunting, despite its unfortunate "Monster Mulies" cover tease, nicely envelops the topic at hand, noting where such creatures can be found in an enormously detailed map. Elsewhere, the issue recollects a hunting trek through New Zealand, reviews a handful of field boots ("rubber knee boots ain't just for the wet anymore" -- I hear you loud and clear, sister) and suggests that would-be ace deer hunters practice their craft on squirrels. Then there are the tips for waterfowling, which double as a NYC dating primer: "dress in all black," "take concealment seriously" and "mix up your decoy species."

So yeah, if I were a hunter -- and I'm not, because arms are for hugging and lifting adorable baby kittens and dribbling basketballs! Yay! -- I'd devour this magazine. And if I were a marketer of products that appeal to this demographic (trucks, outdoor wear, etc.), I'd direct more than a few advertising dollars here. There are only so many chances you get to hawk your wares to the true believers; Peterson's Hunting would seem to be one of the few venues where advertisers can count on a high level of reader engagement, and all the purchase-y goodness that comes with it.

(Pedant alert – Vocabulary lesson ahead)

I noticed an article in the Sydney Morning Herald last week where the word ‘sgraffito’ was used – correctly – to describe ornate plaster work that has been uncovered during the restoration of Glebe Town Hall in Sydney: Peeling back the layers to reveal Glebe’s true history. Sgraffito is a centuries-old decorative technique used on ceramics and plaster walls. Apparently when Glebe Town Hall was built 130 years ago, artisans used this technique to carve a pattern in still-wet white plaster to selectively reveal the pink plaster below.

City of Sydney’s architecture design manager, Chris McBride, with the examples of sgraffito discovered at Glebe Town Hall. Photo: Ben Rushton (Sydney Morning Herald, 18 July 2012).

The word sgraffito (plural sgraffiti) comes from the Italian word graffiare, meaning ‘to cut or scratch in stone’. It seems to have been used in the English language in the 18th century to describe incised pottery, but by the 19th century the word graffito (plural graffiti) was being used to mean the kind of casual wall writing that had survived at archaeological sites in Italy (including Pompeii), Egypt and Syria, for example, or on churches and other public buildings in Europe from the Middle Ages.

Graffito/graffiti was not used in the English language to refer to contemporary inscriptions until later in the 19th century, but even so, in this sense it remained an infrequently-used term until the mid-20th century. Scholarly interest in the writing on toilet walls seems to have popularised the term in the 1960s and 1970s.

For my own project I have been trawling the digitised newspapers on the marvellous website Trove, looking for early examples of pavement graffiti in Australia. I have found plenty, but not by searching with the term ‘graffiti’. I had to use search terms like ‘pavement writing’ or ‘footpath writing’. Until the 1960s the word ‘graffiti’ does not appear in Australian newspapers except in occasional news items about archaeological discoveries. One of the earliest references to modern graffiti that I found was in a travel article in the Australian Women’s Weekly (!). Journeying through Hungary in 1969 the writer notes that she saw ‘modern graffiti slogans about American aggressors in Vietnam’ on a wall in one village.

By the way, the story goes that when George Lucas made the coming-of-age movie American Graffiti (released in 1973, set in 1962), Universal Pictures objected to the film’s title, not knowing what ‘American graffiti’ meant. Lucas is said to have been dismayed when some executives assumed he was making an Italian movie about feet. Although over 60 alternative titles were suggested, Lucas prevailed with his original choice.

How Mesothelioma Litigation Works

By - on February 11, 2019

Last Updated: April 17th, 2020

Views: 132

After you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, it is common to just worry about your health. But if you have been diagnosed with this disease, be aware that it only can be contracted from exposure to asbestos, most commonly at a job site. You should contact an experienced mesothelioma attorney in your state right away.

Mesothelioma is usually a cancer that never should have happened. Many corporations who used or produced asbestos-containing products knew of the dangers and failed to warn their workers. Filing mesothelioma litigation is a way to help people diagnosed with this painful, expensive cancer to get the money they deserve.

A qualified mesothelioma attorney can assist you to decide if you should file a lawsuit and help you through the process. They can help you get the maximum compensation from your lawsuit. Note that most mesothelioma litigation results in settlement before trial.

Major Types of Mesothelioma Lawsuits

The first type of mesothelioma lawsuit is a personal injury claim. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you can file a lawsuit against the company or companies responsible for the asbestos exposure.

The second type is a wrongful death lawsuit. If the patient files suit but dies before the case is resolved, their loved ones can step in and continue it as a wrongful death action. Family members also can file wrongful death claims on their own. This type of suit can help family members to pay for medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and mental and emotional anguish.

How to Choose a Mesothelioma Lawyer

The first step in successful mesothelioma litigation is to choose an appropriate mesothelioma attorney near you. If you were employed by a large company, it is possible there has been a mesothelioma trust fund set up to pay for medical expenses and other costs of mesothelioma patients. These trust funds are often set up when the company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

When you are talking to attorneys, be ready with information about where you worked, when, your medical diagnosis, and how long you think you were exposed.

The Mesothelioma Litigation Process

Every case is different, but most mesothelioma lawsuits have certain steps that apply in most of them. Your mesothelioma attorney will handle these steps and should communicate with you along each step of the way.

Your lawyer will collect information from you about your history of asbestos exposure to determine who may be responsible for your condition. They also want this information so they can decide the best place to file suit. You could be eligible to file the case in several jurisdictions.

Your attorney needs to file a written complaint with the court to initiate the litigation process. Your lawyer’s job is to prepare and file this documentation. For the case to go ahead successfully, the complaint must follow certain court rules pertaining to how the document is written and the details about the claim. Your attorney should be familiar with the rules and can use this knowledge to present your asbestos cancer claims in court.

Every defendant to the lawsuit will get a copy of the complaint. They have a certain time period – usually 30 days – to make a response. Because years have probably passed since you were exposed to asbestos, the company could actually be a different company, or could have gone bankrupt. It could take time to locate the people who should be given a copy of the legal complaint.

Your attorney will administer this process. Because of the high stakes involved, defendants in mesothelioma litigation rarely admit negligence. They will usually deny the claim, and say the complaint is invalid, or there was another reason for your asbestos exposure. They could claim that another entity was responsible for your exposure to asbestos. They could even claim your medical condition was not caused by asbestos. Do not be alarmed; this is normal defendant behavior in these cases. Your attorney will provide a detailed answer to each of the responses of the defendant to your complaint.

Lawyers on each side will collect information about the allegations. One side will ask the other side to answer various written questions, provide documents and do depositions, which are statements made under oath. Some of the information eventually becomes evidence to be used at trial. Discovery can take months. But if you are very ill, your lawyer may request the court to increase the speed of the process before you get sicker.

The defense will look for anything that suggests another party or company caused your sickness. They will want information about your past medical history, where you worked and information about your personal hobbies and habits. They also may demand information from loved ones, doctors, co-workers, etc. You usually have to appear in a taped deposition and make a sworn statement. This process involves questions from the defense’s lawyer, and it can take a few hours or days. But it can often be done in your home.

Your lawyer will write up your responses to document requests and any written questions. Your attorney will review the most likely deposition questions ahead of time and help you during the deposition process.

Before there is a trial, the defendant often offers to resolve the litigation by offering you a settlement. If you decline the amount after talking with your attorney, they may make another offer during the trial. Mesothelioma settlements can range from the hundreds of thousands to several million dollars depending upon case circumstances.

If the mesothelioma suit cannot be settled, it will go to trial. The process for the trial depends upon where the claim is filed. Often it is not required for you to show in court. If you prevail and the defendant does not file an appeal, you can usually receive payment within a few months of the trial conclusion.

If you win at trial, do not be surprised if the defendant files an appeal. There is a short time in which to file an appeal – usually 30 to 180 days. This will delay any funds you receive, but the defendant does ned to post bond for the amount that was awarded while the appeal goes on. If the defense loses the appeal, you will begin to receive payments. If they win the appeal, the defendant could end up paying less or nothing. The appeals court usually accepts the facts the trial judge and jury accepted to be true.

Usually the only item the appeals court decides is whether the lower court applied the law properly to the case. If there was any mistake was made that affected the outcome, the appeals court might order a new trial. In some cases, the appeals court will just correct the error and there is no new trial. If your case goes to appeal, your attorney will be able to explain the process to you.

Retain a Mesothelioma Attorney Immediately

As soon as you receive a diagnosis for mesothelioma or another asbestos-related condition, you should retain a qualified attorney immediately. The statute of limitations for filing a claim can range from one to four years from the date of diagnosis. You want to give your attorney and yourself as much time as possible to file your claim.

The Energy Release Component (ERC) is a measure of the available energy (BTU/square foot) released per unit area in the flaming zone at the head of the fire. It is the least variable of the indices on a day-to-day basis, being a function solely of the fuels. ERC is another index produced by the Oklahoma Fire Danger Model. Conditions producing an ERC value of 24 represent a potential heat release twice that of conditions resulting in an ERC value of 12. Since ERC represents the potential heat release per unit area in the flaming zone, it can provide guidance to several important fire activities. It may also be considered a composite fuel moisture value as it reflects the contribution that all live and dead fuels have to potential fire intensity. Especially for fuel complexes containing the heavier 100- and 1000-hour fuels, the ERC is a cumulative or build-up type of index. As live fuels cure and dead fuels dry, the ERC values get higher, thus providing a good reflection of drought conditions. ERC is a function of the fuel model being used, the live and dead fuel loads, and the live and dead fuel moistures. If the fuel types and loads are substantially different than those in the fuel model being used, there will be inaccuracies. The ERC map is updated every 15 minutes.

Le Metier de Beaute Lip Cremes in Sweet Creme and Creme Caramel Swatches, Photos, Reviews

From Creme de la Creme, we move on to the other two sheerer (dessert) shades, Sweet Creme and Creme Caramel.

Sweet Creme

Sweet Creme swatched

As you can see from the swatch, Sweet Creme is basically a clear gloss with just the slightest hint of pink in it. Again, something I probably wouldn't pick up based on the swatch alone. Yet, this is the shade Dustin thinks everyone should own. Sweet Creme adds warmth when layered over another lip color.

The next, Creme Caramel, is a crowd pleaser. Like Creme de la Creme, Creme Caramel brightens and softens the color beneath it. The added bonus to this color is, and I quote Dustin, that it "goes with anyone."

Creme Caramel

Creme Caramel swatched

In my opinion, Creme Caramel is the most aptly named lip creme in the lineup. The color, accompanied by the vanilla scent common to LMdB lip cremes, reminds me of creme brulee. Creme Caramel is beige-gold and has a metallic gleam when applied to the lips. In the photo below I applied a thin layer of Creme Caramel and sheered it out on my lips, but you could easily build it up to achieve a foil-like effect.

As mentioned, Le Metier de Beaute Lip Cremes are creamy, lightweight, and faintly sticky. They feature a heavy vanilla scent that initially put me off, but over time I've learned to enjoy it. Lip cremes are as easy to apply as your typical doe foot swipe-and-go gloss. Sweet Creme and Creme Caramel have a decent weartime of about 4-5 hours on my lips. They retail for $36 a pop.

  1. I am SO excited that you're swatching these. I don't have a counter close to me, and these are definitely something that I'd like to see before purchasing. They're both lovely ... now which shade to choose?

    ♥ Jessica

  2. @Jessica creme caramel's more unique :) but do come back throughout the week for the rest (and the tutorial)!

  3. I think the finish of these is so interesting. I'm not going to feel at all guilty about buying them because I don't think I have anything quite like it! =) They all look so lovely on you!

  4. Ooh, Creme Caramel is gorgeous! Must look for it the next time I'm at the LMdB counter :) Both of these look great on you!

  5. @Kayla Awesome! I bet you'll like Fraise and Cocoa Creme as well.

    @Makeup Magpie thank you!

Park Renamed after Dr. Brown

May 3, 2013

In and around Miami Gardens, Lester Brown is easily recognizable at city functions.He is the one always dressed in a sharp suit. A nicely folded handkerchief peeks out of his breast pocket, and a matching tie is perfectly knotted around his neck.On the lapels of his suit, he wears almost a dozen pins. The one with two angels is the most significant.“It was a gift from some of the youngsters I helped. They told me the angels are alway watching over me,” he said.Brown, a city resident for more than 40 years, is modest about his contributions to the Miami Gardens community. A mentor and educator, the 83-year-old stumps for the needs of youths before governmental bodies, helps teenagers fill out college applications and taps into his personal cash to assist students who have hardships while in college.Miami Gardens will rename Brentwood Park, at 19405 NW 32nd Ave., to Dr. Lester P. Brown Park.“He is one of the staunchest supporters of this community and this city,” Miami Gardens Mayor Oliver Gilbert said at a recent council meeting.“I can think of no finer person to name anything after.”For Brown, the honor was unexpected — he expects nothing in return for his work in the community.“I was taught to share. Didn’t have much, but you helped out the less fortunate. That’s what I was brought up to believe in. Love one another, don’t be mean.He said there were countless times in his life when he was surprised by random acts of kindness by family and, at times, strangers.“I’m overwhelmed with thankfulness for the people who helped me. They’re in heaven now. Sometimes I imagine they’re saying to Jesus, ‘Thank you for helping that boy. Thank you,’ ” Brown said.Raised by his paternal grandmother in Delhi, La., as a child, Brown chopped cotton alongside the adults on a plantation. He would hand over the $1.25 he earned daily to his grandmother, Mamma Tiller.Mamma Tiller, he said, instilled in him the importance of an education and hard work.“I have been blessed by God. My father passed away when I was six months of age. When I was three years of age, my mother put me on a train and took the top off a shoe box and wrote my name on it, Lester P. Brown,” he said. “On the shoe box it said, ‘This boy goes to Mama Tiller.’ ”Along his journey there were people, some little known to him, who made it possible for him to pursue a higher education .There was his high school principal who, after hearing that Brown could not attend college because he had no money, put him on a train to Baton Rouge, La., with a stack of letters to be delivered to complete strangers who would help Brown.“I’m assuming he wrote, ‘Help this boy, he is smart,’ ” Brown said.There was the pastor he only knew in passing while working as a shoe-shine boy in Baton Rouge who paid for him to register for college classes.Brown said those experience humbled him and instilled in him a passion for helping others.“There are hundreds of kids I helped in Miami Gardens to go to college,” he said. “These are good children. I look for nothing in return.

White Supremacist Arrested for Charging Crowd at Hollywood Confederate Street-Name Protest UPDATED

Update: Just before midnight, after a marathon meeting, Hollywood’s city commissioners voted 5-1 to rename Forrest, Hood, and Lee Streets, though the new names have not yet been decided. After five hours of heated debate, Mayor Josh Levy, Commissioners Kevin Biederman, Dick Blattner, Linda Sherwood, and Debra Case voted in favor. Vice Mayor Traci Callari voted against, and Commissioner Peter Hernandez left before the vote, citing a violation in procedure. Next week, commissioners will meet once again to discuss potential replacements for the street names.

Here's a clip of Monzon charging toward the activists and trying to stab them with his flag:

Original Post:

Hollywood commissioners will vote today on whether to rename three streets that honor Confederate generals — John Hood, Robert E. Lee, and Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Ku Klux Klan grand wizard. In the leadup to today's vote, local civil rights activists said they feared that in a post-Charlottesville world, white supremacists might harass or try to hurt the people protesting for equality.

Well, it appears the activists might have been right: Today a local white supremacist, Christopher Rey Monzon (who is 22 and goes by the online handle "Chris Cedeno"), was arrested after witnesses say he charged into the crowd of civil rights protesters. A New Times reporter watched the event unfold: Monzon was standing near the entrance to Hollywood City Hall, in front of a police line that separated him from 150 to 200 protesters. Cedeno was filmed jawing back and forth with a protester from roughly ten feet away.

"You are a cancer on the face of the earth!" Monzon shouted. "All Jews are!"

He then ran directly at the crowd with a flagpole pointed toward the protesters. Cops were filmed tackling Monzon and taking him away Monzon in handcuffs.

A spokesperson for Hollywood Police said Monzon has been charged with aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, and inciting a riot.

Monzon was photographed at the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia earlier this month, where a white supremacist drove a Dodge Charger into a crowd of anti-racist protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring 19 others.

Protesters with the Black Lives Matter Alliance of Broward County, the South Florida chapter of the Women's March, and a group called Take Them Down Hollywood attended today's city commission meeting.

Photo by Isabella Gomes

Monzon showed up at the protest in a shirt emblazoned with the logo for the Florida League of the South, a white nationalist group that wants the Confederate states to secede from the Union again and create a society led by white, Christian people of European descent.

Today Monzon waved a flag that combined the classic Confederate "stars and bars" with the black-and-white League of the South logo:

Monzon is a known commodity in South Florida: He has regularly shown up at progressive protests and waved the Confederate flag or League of the South regalia. After former state Sen. Frank Artiles was caught dropping the N-word in front of a black lawmaker, Monzon showed up at a protest in order to defend Artiles. Monzon wore a neo-Nazi pin on his shirt collar:

Monzon also showed up at the last protest against the Confederate street names in Hollywood in June. At that event, Monzon, other white supremacists, and members of the armed militia Three Percenters counterprotested against civil rights organizers.

Hollywood state Rep. Shevrin Jones, a black man, joined Black Lives Matter Alliance protesters to demand the street names be changed. Jones said he was called a "nigger," a "monkey," and told to "go back to where [he] came from." Jones also said an elderly black woman left the protest because the counterprotesters reminded her of the segregated 1960s.

via Facebook

At the July protest, the website Rise News interviewed Monzon and called him the "Cuban-American 'Clayton Bigsby,'" referencing an old Chappelle's Show skit in which a prominent Klansman turns out to be a blind black guy.

Other members of the Florida League of the South were heavily involved in the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month: The leader of the state chapter, Michael Tubbs, was filmed standing next to white supremacists who used sticks and blunt objects to beat a black man, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

As Monzon was carried away, one local civil-rights organizer, who gave her name as "Kema," repeatedly told the crowd to remain peaceful and not "engage" any of the other counter-protesters.

"This is the first time we've seen a white supremacist arrested instead of us," someone in the crowd said.

How to Rack Up a $7000 Tax Bill on Excess TFSA Contributions

There is a scary scenario that can arise with TFSA over-contributions where you can’t stop tax penalties from building up for an entire year. It involves a situation where your TFSA investments lose money. I’ve hunted through the Income Tax Act for a clause that deals with this case, but found none.

The scenario is best explained with a fictitious example. Ted was a big fan of Apple. When TFSAs first came on the scene, he made the maximum $5000 contribution in March of 2009 and put it all in Apple stock. Each January since then (including 2014), he has made a maximum contribution and bought Apple stock. His account now holds C$68,400 worth of stock.

Ted’s success with Apple gave him the confidence to try his hand at more active trading. He decided to open a TFSA at a different discount brokerage offering better active trader tools. He then withdrew his money from the first account and deposited it into his new account.

At this point, readers knowledgeable about TFSAs will realize that Ted has made a TFSA over-contribution of $68,400. However, Ted didn’t know this. Now he begins picking some stocks and buying shares. For the first few days, he doesn’t trade much, but his pace starts to quicken. He isn’t too bad at picking stocks, but commissions and spreads are eating him alive.

By the end of March 2014, some bad luck leaves Ted’s account balance at $8400, a loss of $60,000! Then Ted gets some bad news: he has been carrying a TFSA over-contribution of $68,400 for 3 months. The 1% tax each month will cost Ted $2052. But this is just the beginning of his troubles.

Ted immediately withdraws the remaining accounts assets ($8400). However, this still leaves an over-contribution of $60,000. But the account is empty. Ted has no other TFSAs to withdraw from to solve this problem. All he can do is wait for new TFSA contribution room next year to reduce his over-contribution.  The remaining 9 months of 2014 cost him 9% of $60,000, or $5400. In January 2015, his over-contribution disappears.  The total penalty is $7452.

It could be that CRA would use its discretion to waive penalties in such a case. And it could be that discount brokerages have safeguards to prevent people from making such a large over-contribution. But the fact remains that under the TFSA rules as I’ve read them, you can accrue taxes on over-contributions even when your TFSAs are all empty.

  1. Once January 1st of the next year rolls in, won't his withdrawal register and he no longer will be in an overcontribution scenario?

    However, if you simplify the scenario and someone overcontributes and looses everything, you'll have the same result and there will be an overcontribution which can't be withdrawn...

    1. @chuppe: You're right. The scenario I described will only cause penalties for one year. I'll fix the post. I'll have to think about plausible scenarios where the over-contribution lasts longer. The only one that comes to mind, as you say, involves a large over-contribution without any previous withdrawal, which doesn't seem very plausible.

  2. Kewl. That'd teach him not to sell his Apple stock.

  3. This is a good reminder to *transfer* TFSA accounts instead of withdrawing from one broker and contributing at another (the one exception is withdrawing at the end of the financial year and contributing in the new year).

  4. @BetCrooks: Of course, the lesson was different for those who sold Nortel stock near the peak.

    @CC: Good point. And the transfer paperwork is usually done at the financial institution at the receiving end of the transfer.

The Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse at Magic Kingdom Park is the treehouse of every kid’s dreams. Inspired by the 1960 live action film “The Swiss Family Robinson,” the treehouse began welcoming guests on the park’s opening day, October 1, 1971.

Part of what makes this attraction so cool is the attention to detail. The treehouse features five rooms: a living room, kitchen, library, master bedroom and boys’ room, and each one gives you the sense that the family has just stepped out and could return at any minute. There’s no doubt that the Robinson family took their time – and a lot of ingenuity – putting this place together. There’s running water and a working organ. A clamshell has been repurposed and made into a sink and chairs have been fashioned of out island bamboo.

David Muller Opens Up About Alleged Groping Case by Taylor Swift

The anonymous sexual harassment case between Taylor Swift and the DJ is once again swirling in the headlines following the new situation raised by the David Muller who says why the alleged misbehavior was never reported to the police if he was really found guilty during a get-together in 2013.

Taylor Swift is fighting a lawsuit against David Mueller, who has claimed to have lost his employment at KYGO station in Colorado after the "Blank Space" hit-maker made false allegations on him saying that he touched her butt when they were giving poses for some photographs backstage at one of her shows in Denver.

However, Swift didn't feel like staying quite on this, and returned countersuing and accusing Mueller of sexual harassment. Moreover, she has also appointed a team of lawyers to seek a court trial so that the dispute can be resolved by the law. Taylor's lawyers also submitted a photograph as an evidence of the moment that has been taken a "question" by either side. In October, 2016 the court agreed to seal the snap until next trial after the singer requested to keep it covered as she believes it is "extremely sensitive and personal in genre".

However, the controversial image was soon leaked on the Internet in November 2016. Following the leakage of the evidence made Mueller to come forward and explain the situation on November 29. It was first time throughout the case when he sitting at "Mojo in the morning" a radio show opened up about what went wrong during the photo session at Swift's concert in Denver.

The DJ was adamant that he never tried to come into contact with Swift's bottom, though he said they unintentionally touched their hands- briefly - as they were moving closer to give poses for the photographs. The snap submitted as an evidence of the incident featured Muller in left side of the singer while his girlfriend Shannon could be seen standing to Swift's right.

He told the host he was looking at the photographer and was trying to bring his right hand behind the star. Then he got his hands close having his palm down and he reached behind toward her. Their hands were unintentionally touched, and even their arms were crossed as normally people do while giving pose for photos. Muller insists that's all he remembers that his right hand moved behind her along with having her hand behind him.

The DJ added his hand never touched her body and this is what he can tell everyone. He said his hand never went under Taylor's skirt and he never tried to grab her.

Explaining the situation further, Muller said if his hand was stuck under her skirt and he had really grabbed bare bottom of the star as she has been accusing him of, he'd have been sent behind the bar that time. He then met with criminal lawyer to seek advice after the security kicked the DJ and his girlfriend out of the venue.

During the interview, he also went on defending his reputation and said there was nothing from the police and he was just blank. He has never been in troubles for anything in his life and he claims to have never been doing anything inappropriate with any female. He said he wasn't standing alone with the singer during the photo session.  Soon after when he was standing outside the arena with his girlfriend, security grabbed both of them and threw them out of the place.  Both were left shocked looking at each other as they just had no idea what to do or say.

On the other hand, Taylor's fans are waiting for her to respond to the comments the DJ has given during the radio show. She in a recent statement for the lawsuit said she extremely "felt being violated" by the suspected groping, and "was shocked and quiet the moment the DJ reportedly touched her bottom. According to the musician, she felt like somebody turned off the lights in her personality.

About this presentation

Studies on the transnational family highlight the emotional difficulties of migrant parents separated from their children through international migration. This article consists of a large-scale quantitative investigation into the insights of transnational family literature by examining the well-being of transnational parents compared with that of parents who live with their children in the destination country. Furthermore, through a survey of Angolan migrant parents in both the Netherlands and Portugal, we compare the contexts of two receiving countries. Our study shows transnational parents are worse off than their non-transnational counterparts in terms of four measures of well-being - health, life satisfaction, happiness, and emotional well-being. Although studies on migrant well-being tend to focus exclusively on the characteristics of the receiving countries, our findings suggest that, to understand migrant parents' well-being, a transnational perspective should also consider the existence of children in the migrant sending country. Finally, comparing the same population in two countries revealed that the receiving country affects the way in which transnational parenting is associated with migrant well-being.

About the seminar series - Migration to, through and from Africa: An ‘African’ conversation

Scholars of African descent have increasingly contributed to the growing body of knowledge on African migratory flows, even though Africans have often been depicted as ‘objects’ rather than ‘subjects’ of scholarly inquiry. In this seminar series, we ‘reverse the gaze’ by showcasing cutting edge research conducted by African scholars who examine migration to, through and from Africa.

From early career researchers to more established academics, the presenters in our series demonstrate the geographic diversity of African migration patterns by showcasing how Africans on the move are part and parcel of broader processes of social, political and economic development across the continent and beyond. In doing this, they prove that “Africans have always produced knowledge about their continent, even though their contributions have been ‘preferably unheard’ in some cases and ‘deliberately silenced’ in others” (Pailey, 2016).

The 2017 Hilary term seminar series is convened by Robtel Neajai Pailey and Marie Godin.

Going Owl Out

Hopefully, this is not my last outing for the year. After the tepid success of photographing Short-eared Owl in southern Indiana, I headed north to try my luck up there. The northwest portion of the state is home to Kankakee Sands. Kankakee is a TNC property. The property encompasses a large amount of prairie area, and it's a great place to see owls and other winter prairie specialists, in the state. I had about a dozen owls within a 2-3 mile stretch of road. I also had a handful of Northern Harrier, at least one Rough-legged Hawk, and a dark morph Red-tailed Hawk. The Red-tail was particularly beautiful. It's places like this that one of the main reasons I'm a strong supporter of The Nature Conservancy. Their dedication to preserving land is something that I admire.

I arrived at the location a little later than hoped, and the owls were already up once I arrived. I had pretty good luck. If I was going to be critical, I'd have to wish for more natural perches, but I'm happy to have the shots I got.

Just as I was thinking it was time to leave, I pulled up next to one last cooperative owl. It sat on this post while I shot photos; eventually shaking out its feathers and then launching into the air after a few minutes. Here is where a zoom lens would have been nice. I got several shots of the launch, but the wings were clipped on all of them.

Thanks for reading,

Maryland Personal Injury Lawyers

Miller & Zois' Personal Injury Practice

Areas of Practice InfographicMiller & Zois is a law firm that limits its practice exclusively to serious personal injury cases. The majority of our cases are in Maryland in the Baltimore-Washington area. But we are involved in birth injury and product liability cases around the country.

Our law practice is solely devoted to fighting for just compensation for individuals. We fight for people like you as opposed to insurance companies. Our law practice is not only limited to personal injury but to particular types of injury claims, including motor vehicle accident injuries (car, truck, and motorcycle), medical malpractice, premises liability, sexual abuse, and pharmaceutical drug or medical device injuries.

Serious Injury Auto Accidents

Miller & Zois represents clients who have been seriously injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident in Maryland. The attorneys at Miller & Zois have taken to trial hundreds of personal injury auto accident cases in Maryland. Regrettably, we have seen virtually every type of car accident injury: spinal cord, fractures, herniated discs, surgery, burns, paralysis, wrongful death, scarring, permanent injury, disability, and disfigurement.

The individual who causes injuries to an innocent car accident victim is usually represented by insurance company lawyers who work hard to prevent the injured victim from receiving fair compensation for the injuries they have suffered.

The lawyers at Miller & Zois worked for these types of insurance companies and know the tricks that they will use to prevent you from recovering. Lawyers Weekly USA, the nation's only weekly legal periodical, characterized the benefits of our training when they wrote that as former insurance defense lawyers, Miller & Zois "knows the other side's playbook." (For this and other testimonials, select here.)

Accordingly, the lawyers at Miller & Zois know the tricks that insurance companies such as GEICO, Allstate, State Farm, Progressive, MAIF, and Nationwide will throw at us. More importantly, our attorneys know how to overcome the roadblocks insurance adjusters throw up to give our clients the best chance of receiving the maximum possible recovery in their personal injury case.

Truck Accidents

The lawyers at Miller & Zois also handle a large number of large truck and tractor-trailer injury and wrongful death cases. Contrary to what many lawyers think, truck accident claims are not merely larger passenger car claims. We have handled scores of serious injury and wrongful death truck accident claims. They are as alike as the Harlem Globetrotters and the Los Angeles Lakers. We have the experience and reputation to stand up to these companies to get fair compensation for our clients who have been injured in a truck accident.

Miller & Zois Personal Injury Trial Verdicts & Settlements
  • $10,000,000 Malpractice Verdict
  • $8,000,000 Car Crash Verdict

Motorcycle Accidents

The attorneys at Miller & Zois also handle personal injury cases involving motorcycles. Some studies have shown that over 80% of multi-vehicle accidents involving motorcycles are not the fault of the motorcyclist. Juries don't see it that way - they look to blame the motorcyclist first because a motorcyclist reminds them of the guy that shot past them at 1,000 miles an hour on Route 95.

Not only are motorcycle cases more difficult to try to juries, but the stakes are higher: motorcycle accident victims are 21 times more likely to die than personal injury victims in a passenger car or truck.

The take-home message is clear: if you have a motorcycle accident case, you need a lawyer who is going to put you in the best position not only to win but to maximize your recovery. Our motorcycle accident lawyers have the experience in these cases to stand up to the insurance companies and fight for fair compensation for the victims of motorcycle accidents.

Medical Malpractice

We handle cases involving

  • birth injuries, including cerebral palsy and HIE
  • anesthesiology errors,
  • cancer and other misdiagnosis cases,
  • emergency room negligence,
  • hospital negligence,
  • misread X-ray or other diagnostic tests,
  • incorrect medical prescriptions, surgical errors

The thing to remember in medical malpractice cases is that you better be ready to put your chin strap on and fight. Easy settlements come along once in a blue moon. You need to be ready to fight the case tooth and nail from gathering the facts and the experts all the way through post-trial appeals. Our lawyers do just that. We have brought in over $20,000,000 in settlements for our clients in malpractice cases in the last year.

Wrongful Death court room

Wrongful death is a subset of the above-listed categories. In Maryland, by statute, the family members and the estate of the deceased who have been killed as the result of the negligence of another can bring a wrongful death claim and something called a survival action. A wrongful death lawsuit may be the result of a vehicle accident, medical malpractice, or other catastrophic events including boating swimming pool drowning deaths. We have handled many wrongful death cases in Maryland and all over the country and have been able to receive fair compensation for our clients who have lost a family member due to the negligence of another.

Drug or Medical Device Injuries

Get information here for more information on pharmaceutical and medical device cases that our lawyers handle, including Valsartan, Onglyza, Roundup Zostavax, Combat Arms Ear Plugs, Uloric, and Xarelto. While not exactly a pharmaceutical drug, we are also now looking at Juul vaping cases.

Workers Compensation and Other Cases

Our lawyers handle a small number of Maryland workers' compensation claims but only for clients who have a worker's compensation case and a third party liability claim. We also handle:

  • Premises liability claims
  • Dog bite injuries
  • Burn injuries
  • Forklift accidents
How Much is a Maryland Personal Injury Lawsuit Worth?

The value of a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland depends on the type and severity of the plaintiff’s physical injuries. Below are some average values based on injury types:

(e.g., back strains, soft tissue, headaches)
$15,000 ↔ $25,000
(e.g., broken leg, ruptured spleen)
$50,000 ↔ $125,000
(e.g., death, brain injury)
$200,000 ↔ $500,000

Medical malpractice cases have a higher average settlement value compared to other types of personal injury cases.

How Long Do Can I Wait to File a Personal Injury Case in Maryland?

Maryland has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases. This includes medical malpractice, auto accidents and other types of injury cases. The 3-year period begins to run from the date that the plaintiff discovered (or should have discovered) the injury. (Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101).

How are Personal Injury Settlements Calculated?

Personal injury settlements are calculated by adding together 3 general elements of the plaintiff’s damages: (1) medical expenses; (2) lost income; and (3) pain and suffering.

Why Should You Use Miller & Zois for a Personal Injury Case?

Miller & Zois is one of the most successful personal injury law firms in Maryland. Over the last 12 years we have recovered over $100 million in compensation on behalf of our clients. Unlike other firms, we are ready and willing to take every case to trial (if necessary) and that gives us the leverage to get maximum compensation in each case.

How Much Does Miller & Zois Charge for a Personal Injury Case?

We take cases on a contingency fee basis. This means we receive a percentage of any money we collect in your accident case. Our standard contingency fee is 33.3% if a case ends in settlement and 40% if the case goes to trial.

Buddhist Monks and Monasteries of India: Their History and Contribution to Indian Culture

by Sukumar Dutt

  • ISBN: 9788120804982, 8120804988
  • Year of Publication: 2015
  • Binding: Hardcover
  • Edition: 3rd reprint
  • No. of Pages: 397
  • Language: English
  • Regular price ₹ 900.00

    Tax included.

    Though India is no longer a Buddhist country, Buddhism held its place among Indian faiths for nearly seventeen centuries (500 B.C.-A.D. 1200). During this long stretch of time the Buddhist monks were organized in Sanghas in most parts of the country and their activities and achievements have profoundly influenced India's traditional culture.

    There are monumental remains of Buddhist monastic life scattered all over India: in the south there are about a thousand cave-monasteries, among them Ajanta, world-famous for its exquisite mural paintings; in the north, less spectacular, the ruins of monastic edifices from Taxila in the west to Paharpur in the east. A connected history of the Buddhist monks of ancient India, their activities, their monastic establishments and their contributions to Indian culture, is available for the first time in this work, which is remarkable also for its pervading human interest.

    In reconstructing the history of the emperors and kings who were patrons of Buddhism, the early missionaries and the illustrious monk-scholars of later times, the author has used sources in four languages-Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan.

    The primitive sangha, The asoka-satavahana age 250 BC-AD 100 and its legacy, In the Gupta age (AD 300-550) and after, Eminent monk-Scholars of India, Monastic Universities, (AD 500-1200), Bib., Index.

    The book gives a detailed description of the various stages of development of these monasteries. A great contribution of these monks was the thousands of manuscripts of Buddhist literature they produced. They were carried into distant countries like Tibet

The object of the game is to collect hearts and deliver them to Olive Oyle to keep her 'lovemeter' topped up. Points are scored for hearts delivered. Bluto, UFO's, witches etc try to stop you. Some hearts are behind locked doors so you've got to find the right key to open the door and get them while others can be grabbed simply by jumping up to get them. Somewhere there's a fruit machine for which you need to collect 'spin' items.

The game boasts a 'clever multidimensional effect' which allows Popeye to go behind the scenery and go through doors.

Fundraising appeal: Help Lifeline Nehemiah Project provide antenatal training and mentoring for youn

In a 2015  survey in Freetown, the maternal death rate for girls under 17 was 1 in 7 compared to 1 in 10 000 in the UK.  And when a girl dies, her baby has a 50% chance of dying before their first birthday. With the input of young parents certified nurse, Lucy November, has been researching the reasons why, and with her friend Mangenda Kamara, they plan to start a mentoring programme to provide the support these girls and their babies need.Mentoring will mean that girls will be more likely to access antenatal care – a vital life-saving intervention.  If you’re not having your iron levels checked, and have untreated anaemia, you are at risk of bleeding; if you don’t get your blood pressure checked, you can have an eclamptic fit with no warning; if you don’t have your tetanus injections, you and your baby could die of tetanus.  And those are just a few examples of the life-saving benefits of mentoring.  Other vital needs include a birth companion, support to breastfeed, help setting up a little business so girls can have enough  to eat, etc.

The November family lived in Sierra Leone for years and have lots of good friends at Lifeline Nehemiah Project,  who provide training and mentoring for young people. Please sponsor Caleb and Lucy November in the 6 km Bantham Swoosh swim, and help them set this up and give these girls and babies a better chance at life and health.
