Ten Resources for Advent 2021

  1. TryTank and the monks of the Society of Saint John the Evangelist are producing a new resource aimed particularly at smaller congregations. That said, any congregation can use it and we have also paired it with an adult forum curriculum. From Christ the King Sunday to Christmas Day, they have six sermons each about 12 minutes long. They are based on the Sunday lectionary. The sermons will be available on the web and can be played as a sermon during the service. Find more information here
  2. This Advent season Living Compass is offering a daily email devotional, Living Well Through Advent 2021: Practicing Patience With All Your Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind. The devotional includes reflections from Robbin Brent, Steven Charleston, Jan Kwiatkowski, Jason Lavann, Amy Sander Montanez, Lisa Senuta, and Scott Stoner. The emails will begin on Sunday, November 28, 2021. You can sign up to receive the devotions on their website: Living Well Through Advent — Living Compass (scroll down to where it says “enroll to receive each day’s reading via a daily email”).
  3. Advent Unbound: A Companion to Pádraig Ó Tuama’s “Poetry Unbound” | In this Advent devotional, we let scripture and “Poetry Unbound” (a podcast from the Irish poet and theologian Pádraig Ó Tuama) be our guides, together pointing us toward weekly practices that can help deepen and enrich our experience of the season – a perfect way to prepare for the hope, peace, joy, and love of Christmas day.
  4. Close to Home from A Sanctified Art | This daily devotional follows the Revised Common Lectionary (Year C) through Epiphany. Each day offers something new: commentary, poetry, visual art, hymns, journaling, and Sabbath prompts. As you walk through these prompts and readings day by day, may you be comforted by the One who dwells intimately with us.
  5. Advent Calendar Templates 2021 | Praying in Color Using an Advent calendar is my favorite way to pay attention and pray during the four weeks of Advent. Unlike the store-bought versions, my calendars have no doors, just blank spaces for the days of Advent. Each day I fill one space with a prayer or meditation– in words, doodles, and color. The daily practice of drawing on the calendar gives me a creative and simple way to immerse myself in the Advent experience and to prepare for the celebration of the birth of Jesus. The accumulation of daily doodlings forms a colorful tapestry and a record of my spiritual journey for the weeks leading up to Christmas. This practice feels prayerful and playful. No artistic skill is necessary!
  6. Journeying the Way of Love Advent Calendar 2021 is free from The Episcopal Church via download. It is particularly good for older children, teens, and adults. There are prompts for reflection and potentially discussion together. Examples include setting a timer for three minutes and repeating the prayer “Here I am, God” until the time is up; taking a different route to work, school, or play and noticing what you encounter differently; and considering what part of gathering for worship fills your heart with hope. This pairs well with other Way of Love resources like the Advent Curriculum here and is available in English, Spanish, and French.
  7. Family activity: How to make and use an Advent wreath!
  8. In the Advent Toolkit from Episcopal Relief and Development, there are DIY projects for families and communities that will take you from Advent to Christmas and through Epiphany. You will find DIY wreath ideas with prayers and reflections, DIY creche ideas, and information about St. Nicholas.
  9. For the eighth year in a row, #AdventWord will gather prayers via a global, online advent calendar. Forward Movement, the new home of AdventWord, will offer 28 daily meditations and images during this holy season beginning Sunday, November 28. Gathering a worldwide community, #AdventWord provides a daily meditation, visual image, and invites your personal reflections via social media to share your own Advent journey.
  10. Advent Music | From the Lifelong Learning at Virginia Theological Seminary, “Waiting with Expectation and Hope: A Spotify Advent Playlist.”

Daily Advent Reflections Available

Advent is a time when we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. As we prepare for the Christ-child, we would like to offer you reflections to help you enter into the beauty and splendor of this glorious season. This year we have collected reflections based on the Daily Office readings from people, both lay and clergy, across the diocese.

These reflections are available to you in three different ways:

1. For those who wish to have things printed off, we have a pdf of all the reflections for you. You may also make copies of the reflections available for people in your parish who do not have electronic access.

2. If you prefer to get an email with the day's reflection sent to you, you can sign up for that here. We just need your name and email address. I will then send you an email with the reflection each morning.

3. Each day's reflection will be posted on a blog on our website. You can access that here.

A special thank-you to Mother Mindy Valentine Davis for compiling all the reflections. I'm so delighted that we have so many different voices represented for the Advent season.

Wishing you a blessed Advent season!

~Sara Bitner, Communications Officer

Call for Submissions: Daily Advent Reflections 2020

As a diocese, we are pulling together a resource of Daily Advent Reflections for 2020. We would like to have as many churches represented as possible. We ask that these daily reflections be 500-800 words and based on the Daily Office readings. Clergy or talented laypeople are invited to write a reflection. We will be publishing this resource in two ways. First, we will make a pdf file available that contains all of the reflections for those who do not have electronic access or prefer paper copies. Individual churches would be responsible for printing and sending to their shut-ins or those without technology. Second, we will be able to send these reflections out daily by email. Individuals or churches will subscribe to receive the emails. If your church would commit to submitting a reflection, please fill out the form here by October 15. We will assign dates for the reflections by October 20 and the end products will be due for light editing and compilation by November 5. If you have questions, please contact Rev. Mindy Valentine Davis at  .

-1 points   🥚 Taming & KO       Report

Best not to go alone when taming. The Tapejara Flys 3x the height of a Phteredon normally so you are more likely to find this one at higher altitudes. If possible use Chain Bola on the back of a Quetzal, DO NOT GET CLOSE, although they have very little stamina and speed when tamed, but hardly ever need to land when wild. Best thing to do is to scare it closer to your base then tranq it. If you don't have anyone else, using a parachute and a high lvl crossbow will be necessary. Jump off your bird of choice then use parachute, whistle follow and begin to get close as possible. Shoot ahead of the Bird right after it turns. When it lands DO NOT STARVE TAME. Its too hard to feed the prime meat it needs. Put raw asap unless Allosaurus kibble is at hand. Keep a close eye on it, use spike walls and a door to close off from any predators due to low health, Good luck Taming!

Peace and beauty of the dark forest

Recover in the beauty of dark forest in the light of headlam

Jyväskylä, Finland
Available in Finnish and English
2 hours
4 spots per experience
August - March

What are we going to do

Feel the peace and beauty of the dark forest safely with me and see the Säynätsalo Town Hall in its evening lights during the same trip.

We will start our journey at 8.50 pm. from Säynätsalo Town Hall that is designed by Alvar Aalto. (If you come from center of Jyväskylä take bus no. 16 that leaves center at 20.15.) After experiencing the amazing beauty of the Town Hall in the evening lights we head to the forests of Kinkovuori. On our way we also pass by the Cable Bridge of Louhunsalmi which has also amazing evening lights.

In the forests of Kinkovuori we explore the forest in the light of headlamps. I know these forests like my own pockets so you will be safe with me. In the forest we move slowly while experiencing the forest with all our senses. We stop to admire the beauty and peace of the dark forest and breathe the fresh air. We do all of this in silence. In the end we stop to admire the view to Säynätsalo island and its lights.

Our journey ends at the Säynätsalo Town Hall at 10.50 pm. where you can take the bus no. 16 to the center of Jyväskylä. Of course there is also a possibility to take a room from Säynätsalo Town Hall.

About Pirjo - the Doer

I have lived in Säynätsalo, Kinkovuori fourteen years. These forests have become like a home to me and I love my daily walks in the forest with my dog. The forest to me is a place where I can relax, calm down and heal. This winter I have fallen in love with being in the forest especially in the dark. The forest is proven to have positive effects for our mental and physical health and in Japan some doctors even give prescriptions for forest baths. Mental health and the things considering it are extremely close to my heart. I am also an official forest bathing guide and a mindfulness guide and teacher.

Minimum of two participants.

Gear needed: Good shoes that are suitable for walking in the forest (forest may be snowy, wet or slippery). Warm clothes, many layers, a beanie and warm gloves and a water bottle. We are standing still and may also lie on the mattress awhile. Headlamps are provided by me.

Even thought I know this forest really well there is still for example a possibility to sprain your ankle etc. So make sure your travel insurance is valid.

Kylläpä oli mahtava pilleri kaamokseen ja väsymykseen kun sai kylpeä metsässä ammattitaitoisessa ja luottamuksellisessa Pirjon ohjauksessa. Mieli ja keho virkistyi. Ihana raukea olo ja hyvä pikku väsymys johtaa pian unten maille. Vahva suositus, metsäkylpy on hieno tapa saada mielelle energiaa❤

Donald Trump Says World Was ‘100 Percent’ Better With Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi

This week, it was Donald Trump‘s turn again. When the man who wants to be president of what he himself calls the “world’s greatest democracy” was asked on CNN’s State of the Union if the world was better off with brutal dictators Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi running Iraq and Libya, his response was “100 percent” yes.

“I mean, look at Libya. Look at Iraq. Iraq used to be no terrorists. He (Hussein) would kill the terrorists immediately, which is like now it’s the Harvard of terrorism,” Trump said. “If you look at Iraq from years ago, I’m not saying he was a nice guy, he was a horrible guy, but it was a lot better than it is right now. Right now, Iraq is a training ground for terrorists. Right now Libya, nobody even knows Libya, frankly there is no Iraq and there is no Libya. It’s all broken up. They have no control. Nobody knows what’s going on.

Hussein was knocked out of power when the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, and was executed in 2006. Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011 during an uprising that was supported by NATO forces.

Greek Easter tour in Athens

EUR 3350,00 per person in twin/double room
  • 8 days tour / April 26 - May 3, 2021
  • Number of participants: maximum 16-18 persons
  • Included: Full board (all meals except two dinners and 1 lunch) accommodation in a 5 star hotel excellently situated in the heart of the city, airport transfers on first and last day of tour, entrance fees & tips on land, expert led historical excursions

This tour combines a thorough introduction to Ancient Athens with a chance to observe the Easter festivities or to participate in them!

In antiquity, there were many religious festivals that dominated the Athenian life, such as the Panathenaia, Dionysia or Eleusinia, occasions when the city state acted out its own identity. Nowadays, the Orthodox Easter is the most important festival in modern Greece: celebrated passionately, solemnly and eventually exuberantly, it is a central expression of Greek identity and a spectacular experience for visitors.

Our expert guides will show you all the major remains of the Classical, Roman and medieval city: the sacred rock of the Acropolis and its superb museum; the ancient Kerameikos cemetery; the Agora, the political, commercial and civic heart of the ancient city; and the National Museum, the world’s most important treasury of Ancient Greek Art. You will walk the same streets and squares that Aeschylus, Pericles, Herodotus or Socrates did, the people who allowed Athens to become a cultural beacon shining across the millennia, creating or advancing philosophy, tragedy, comedy, history, art and architecture.

In parallel, you will have a chance to observe the celebrations of Orthodox Holy Week, from intimate and quaint observances to the drama of processions, all culminating in the celebration of light on Easter night and the exuberant feast of Easter Sunday.

Apart from deep archaeological and historical insights, you will also experience a slice of modern Athenian life, as well many opportunities to enjoy some of the very best Greek food and wine at some of our favourite venues – including Easter specials.

Your base for the week long tour is a fine 5 star hotel located near the heart of the city and old town, with perfect access to all its sights and amenities.

'Red Wall' communities to be hit harder by coronavirus recession than the South, report finds

Communities in the North will be hit more than twice as hard by the economic impacts of coronavirus than parts of the South, a new report has found.

Thursday, 21st May 2020, 5:45 am

The recession caused by the crisis, which Chancellor Rishi Sunak this week acknowledged would be “the likes of which we have never seen” will see an average fall of 12 per cent in permanent losses in economic output over the next five years across the so-called Red Wall, the Centre for Progressive Policy found.

It means areas in the North and the Midlands would be hit harder than communities in the South East, which would see average losses of five per cent.

And the impact will also be worse than the predicted eight per cent drop nationally.

The i newsletter cut through the noise

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has warned that the UK is likely to face a severe recession the likes of which we have never seen and may not bounce back straight away from the Covid-19 crisis. Photo: PA

The think tank’s report – Back from the Brink: Avoiding A Lost Generation – also found that average annual earnings in the 20 poorest local authorities would fall from £18,580 to £17,340 in real terms in the three years after lockdown.

Henri Murison, director of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership lobbying group, said: “These projections make it even more important that the government take the opportunity to invest heavily in the Northern Powerhouse to drive forward the UK economy as we emerge from this horrendous virus.”

Government ministers have been quick to reaffirm their commitment to the North, after it was feared the spiralling cost of fighting the coronavirus could cause them to renege on election promises.

The Red Wall crumbled at the 2019 general election in the face of the Conservatives’ advance, and the party has pledged to “level up” prosperity across the UK.

The Government said it remained committed to improving life across the country despite the cost of coronavirus, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson saying: “This is a Government that is going to pursue our agenda of uniting and levelling up across the whole of the UK”.

But the Centre for Progressive Policy report also predicted that 77 per cent of local authorities will not have recovered their expected level of output based on pre-crisis trends by 2024, and earnings will fall by an average of £1,600 in real terms over the same period.

It comes as data from Public Health England showed Yorkshire and the Humber had the most cases of coronavirus in the country in a 24-hour period.

The region had 30 out of the 79 cases diagnosed nationally from tests taken on Monday, while London reported none.

Some 2,329 people have now died after testing positive for coronavirus in Yorkshire, yesterday this rose by 22. Nationally 35,341 people have now died, a rise of 545 yesterday.

Charlotte Alldritt, director at the Centre for Progressive Policy, said: “While policymakers are rightly concerned with the immediate economic shock of coronavirus, history has taught us that recessions have deep and long-lasting effects, which are rarely spread evenly across the country.

“This crisis is clearly no different, with those ‘left behind’ areas on course to bear the economic brunt.

“The Government had already signalled its intent to ‘do right’ by voters who had lent them their vote but these communities have been let down by successive governments in the past.”

Editor’s note: First and foremost - and rarely have I written down these words with more sincerity - I hope this finds you well.

Almost certainly you are here because you value the quality and the integrity of the journalism produced by The Yorkshire Post’s journalists - almost all of which live alongside you in Yorkshire, spending the wages they earn with Yorkshire businesses - who last year took this title to the industry watchdog’s Most Trusted Newspaper in Britain accolade.

And that is why I must make an urgent request of you: as advertising revenue declines, your support becomes evermore crucial to the maintenance of the journalistic standards expected of The Yorkshire Post. If you can, safely, please buy a paper or take up a subscription. We want to continue to make you proud of Yorkshire’s National Newspaper but we are going to need your help.

Postal subscription copies can be ordered by calling 0330 4030066 or by emailing [email protected] Vouchers, to be exchanged at retail sales outlets - our newsagents need you, too - can be subscribed to by contacting subscriptions on 0330 1235950 or by visiting www.localsubsplus.co.uk where you should select The Yorkshire Post from the list of titles available.

If you want to help right now, download our tablet app from the App / Play Stores. Every contribution you make helps to provide this county with the best regional journalism in the country.

Sincerely. Thank you.

What's Up?

Keep up to date with news and hot takes on all things Dopsu.

Not all of us pay attention to the small print – the ingredients and inclusions in the food we fill our supermarket trolley with. It’s no surprise, given the average supermarket shopping doesn’t exactly have the time to get the magnifying glass out, or google every last bamboozling term or claim.

It might well be the most popular protein on the British dinner table, so it’s no surprise that chicken finds its way into a huge range of family favourites. It’s mixed up in our pastas and topping our pizzas. It’s filling our fajitas and burritos. It’s the star of the Sunday dinner, and the lean choice for a shawarma. We’re sticking it in sarnies and rolls, stews and soups.

If you’re trying to avoid meat – or just like the odd flexitarian swap – then soy is pretty ubiquitous. That’s a fancy word for ‘flippin’ everywhere’, and we can’t blame you for packing your shopping basket with plant-based products made from the popular bean.

Here’s the secret strategy to get you mixing up your meal plan.It’s time to embrace Meat Free Monday!

Well actually, the whole point of Dopsu No-Chicken is that no clucks are given.

It’s one of the main headaches in trying to cut down on the meat you eat. You want to make a change to your diet, but you don’t want to change everything. You don’t want to just stop eating the meals that you and your family love to eat.

Some people have really strong views, beliefs and philosophies about what they eat. Which is great – good for them!

But. The truth is that most people don’t have such strong views. They mainly want to eat things that taste good, are nutritious enough…and don’t overly harm the world in the making.

Then let the people speak!

We did, and they said things like this:

It just tastes like meat and it looks like meat and I can imagine you’d be able to put it in all sorts.
Correct – you really can!

Police-Related Racial Disparities Still Exist in Connecticut

Posted on in Criminal Defense

racial disparity, police violence, Connecticut criminal defense attorneyAlthough efforts have been made to decrease the police-related racial disparities, new information indicates they are still present. In fact, according to the Associated Press, preliminary data indicates that officers fired stun guns at blacks and Hispanics suspects at a rate higher than white suspects last year. Officers are warning citizens not to be overly alarmed at the information because differences between departments and cities can make it difficult to compare percentages, but experts say they are still concerned.

Stun Gun Risks

For the most part, stun guns cause only minor injuries, including the need for removal of the prongs that deliver the shock. However, Amnesty International reports that at least 540 people in the United States have died after being shocked by a stun gun between the years 2001 and 2012. In Connecticut, 17 people have died since 2005, and 12 of them were minorities, the American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut now says. So, while this is, overall, a very small percentage, the information does indicate a very real risk of stun gun death, particularly among minorities.

The Preliminary Statistics

Raw information indicated that state and municipal police reported 641 total incidents involving stun guns in 2015; 437 included actual firings while 204 were simply threats of use. Within those incidents, officers warned white suspects but did not fire 40 percent of the time, but when it came to Hispanic and black suspects, they failed to fire after warning 31 percent of the time and 20 percent of the time, respectively. Even more concerning is that black suspects only accounted for just 30 percent of all stun gun incidents, Hispanics accounted for 21 percent, and the remaining 49 percent of suspects were white.

Civil Liberty Advocates Concerned but Say More Analysis is Needed

While, at the surface, civil liberties advocates do say it appears there is an issue of racial disparity, they indicate there is a need for more analysis before jumping to any conclusions. They intend to more thoroughly examine the data to better understand why, if more white suspects were involved, they did not suffer stuns at the same (or at least fairly) rate as their black and Hispanic counterparts.

Wrongful Arrest, Excessive Force, and Your Criminal Charges

Wherever racial disparities exist, there is a risk of wrongful arrest or excessive force. Unfortunately, it can be extremely difficult for minorities to prove such actions have taken place. As such, it is critical that any individual who has fallen victim to such injustices seek qualified and experienced legal counsel, and they must do so quickly to ensure any and all evidence is preserved and handled with care.

With nearly four decades of experience, the Law Offices of Daniel P. Weiner can help. Regardless of your charges, you are innocent until proven guilty, and you deserve to be treated as such.

The thread-lift provides only limited short-term improvement

Thread-lift for Facial Rejuvenation – Assessment of Long-term Results

A recent article has been published discussing a study performed on the effectiveness of thread lifts for facial aesthetic improvement.

The conclusion of the study: The thread-lift provides only limited short-term improvement that may be largely attributed to postprocedural edema and inflammation. Our results objectively demonstrate the poor long-term sustainability of the thread-lift procedure. Given these findings, as well as the measurable risk of adverse events and patient discomfort, we cannot justify further use of this procedure for facial rejuvenation.

Mazda rotary turns 50

Iconic motor reaches milestone, but no new design in sight

Mazda is celebrating the 50th anniversary of it first production rotary engine, the technology with which it remains synonymous despite it being on hiatus since the 2012 death of the RX-8.

The back story, as the company tells it, goes a little like this. Mazda, then called Toyo Kogyo Corporation, needed to stand apart from other fast-rising Japanese car makers, and to stay independent.

In 1961 it licensed the rotary engine technology from NSU Motorenwerke AG and Wankel GmbH, sharing research with the German companies in hopes of making wider use of the engine.

Things got off to a bad start. Within an hour of the first prototype engine starting testing in Hiroshima, it seized.

Mazda had "wagered its entire existence" on this one engine technology.

"Failure would not be an option, but early impressions meant there was much to be done to keep Mazda afloat," the company claims.

Knowing the importance of getting the rotary right, chief engineer Kenichi Yamamoto assembled a team of Mazda’s most talented engineers - known as the 47 Samurai - to make the rotary viable.

This is despite other automakers from the around the world failing to do the exact same thing.

After an eventual debut at the 1964 Tokyo motor show, on May 30 1967, Mazda's Cosmo Sport 110S - the world’s first production twin-rotor, rotary-engined car - went on sale in Japan.

It was Mazda’s first sports car - the company had been known only for its small passenger cars and work trucks to that point.

Just 1176 Cosmo Sports would be built, "but its legacy would stretch much, much further".

From the earliest races, such as the 84-hour Marathon de la Route in 1968, Mazda kept working at it. The highest point of Mazda’s development of the rotary engine was in 1991, when the quad-rotor-powered Mazda 787B won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

During its production, more than 1.99 million rotary-engine vehicles were produced, from sports cars to sedans and even a 26-passenger bus.

The RX-8 rotary died in 2012 after failing to meet modern emissions requirements, but Mazda insists that it's trying to make the tech viable for road cars again.

Alas, though, the gorgeous RX-Vision concept that we thought might materialise by 2020, remains on the backburner as Mazda focuses on its core bread-and-butter cars.

For now, we wait... it's only a shame the company couldn't celebrate 50 years with a rotary model still in production.

Curing Puffy Eyes

Curing Puffy Eyes
November 9, 2021

Ok. So recently I had a puffy eyes experience.

After a long and tiring day at the office and having an intimate facial relationship with the computer screen all day, my eyes rebelled. I felt puffiness around my eyes and when I stared into the mirror, I was surprised to see two inflated balloons under my eyes!

So my vision was impaired and I now had to find a way to see the people who would undoubtedly come my way. If these balloons got any bigger, I not only would have impaired vision l would not be recognized. I would be blinded by the pressure that they were placing on my optical zone.

In my mind I immediately revisited my nursing days of the seventies; when all cures for me were holistic and alternative. A time when there was no Dr. Google and no internet. I had to fix this and I had to do it right away.

“Take a deep breathe,” I told myself. “Don’t panic, you have this under control.”

I gave myself two quiet days to fix this and luckily for me it was the weekend.

“Now, what would I have done in the seventies?” I asked myself. “What is available to me in the 2020s?”

In the seventies I would:

Calm myself down.

Apply an ice pack under my eyes to slow down the swelling.

Gently apply a single finger massage to move around the collected fluid so it will be reabsorbed in the body.

Apply a pat of face moisturizer or natural Aloe Vera.

Elevate my head to sleep so that the fluid drains back to full circulation.

Wear a night mask with or without weight.

Avoid drinking water close to bedtime.

Eliminate salt and caffeine from my intake.

Try and get an eight-hour sleep.

Increase the garlic in my diet to serve as a natural antibiotic.

Apply a cold rag over my face on awakening.

Oh, by the way, I also applied used cold tea bags on the puffiness.

What is available to me in the 2020s:

Silicone ice pads

Radio frequency tightening

Laser resurfacing

Natural and holistic approaches to healing are always the least invasive and safe way to heal our bodies, so I settled on going back to the seventies and BRAVO!

Multiple Sclerosis and Disability Benefits

About 400,000 individuals living in the United States suffer from the debilitating disease known as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is an autoimmune disease that affects your central nervous system. It causes problems with nerve impulses and the brain being able to communicate with the body. This can greatly impact the ability to complete everyday tasks, including work. Continue reading below to view an infographic on understanding Multiple Sclerosis.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has two disability benefit programs, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). You may be eligible for disability benefits with either or both the SSDI and the SSI programs due to MS.

Multiple Sclerosis

This is an example of Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, an autoimmune disease. The nerves of the brain and spinal cord are damaged by one’s own immune system. This results in loss of muscle control, vision and balance.

Multiple Sclerosis has the ability to keep individuals from working or completing everyday tasks. Patients will need medications, which may be very expensive, to help them manage their symptoms. According to a study conducted by Oregon State University and Oregon Health and Science University, the annual average price for drugs associated with MS is around $60,000. When you consider the cost of medicine and daily living expenses such as food, utilities, and housing, it can be very difficult for individuals who have MS to manage. This is why it is important to have representation, such as what Disability Support Services provides, to help with the application process when applying for SSDI and SSI benefits.

Qualifying Medically

To be eligible for SSDI or SSI benefits, the condition and symptoms as described in your medical records must meet or equal the criteria that the SSA has defined for the diagnosis in question. In other words, you will need to provide the SSA evidence from a medical professional proving that you have MS and that your condition and symptoms meet or equal the SSA’s criteria.

If you are unable to work but you still do not meet the listed criteria, you still have options. You may be approved based on the limitations to daily activity do to MS. To find out if your diagnosis with MS may qualify you for SSDI or SSI benefits contact Disability Support Services. We will go over your case and explain to you your options. The application process can be difficult, time-consuming and may take months or even years. To lessen your burden with this process, contact us today.

DWS Long View: The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on long-term return forecasts

Following the COVID-19 crisis, we have conducted a thorough analysis on the impact of the crisis on the DWS Long View.

Entering 2020, the long-run return forecasts across asset classes left something to be desired. The rich valuations meant that investors could only expect low returns from most asset classes going forward. A lot has changed with the COVID-19 crisis, though. Global equity markets have experienced a significant derating amid fears of a sharp global recession. Developed market sovereign bond yields have rallied further from already low levels at the beginning of the year. The implications for asset allocators are evident if the underlying assumptions are kept unchanged. But, this may be challenging as the current economic crisis is likely to be even worse than the global financial crisis. In this report, we examine the potential impact of the ongoing crisis on DWS’s long-term[1] capital market return assumptions.

We present three scenarios: the first (status-quo) uses the same economic growth, dividend, and credit risk assumptions that were used for our annual Long View publication from earlier this year. The forecasts under this scenario are derived by simply updating our earlier forecasts for the changes in prices and inflation forecasts observed in the first quarter. Scenarios 2 (2009-repeat) and 3 (three-sigma) are alternative scenarios changing economic growth, dividend, and credit risk assumptions with the former assuming the ongoing crisis to be of the same magnitude as the 2008 financial crisis and the latter assuming the crisis to be much worse, like a once-in-century type event.

The forecasts under our three-sigma scenario are strikingly similar to those published in our earlier report using December end prices. Given the severity of this crisis, one could argue that markets have been broadly efficient in repricing asset returns. Some differences still exist in Emerging Market (EM) Sovereigns, US Treasuries, and Euro high yield (HY), though. Those with a more sanguine economic outlook (status-quo and 2009-repeat scenarios) would find better opportunities now than at the beginning of the year, both in absolute terms and relative to Treasuries.

Nature + Hiking

In Lebanon, there’s no shortage of natural beauty to observe and nature hikes to take part in. Of of the most noteworthy nature excursions to participate it are the Cedars of Lebanon. The two main locations to visit the cedars are in the north near Bsharri, or in the Chouf in Barouk. Both can be reached by car or by tour bus.
As far as hiking trails, one need not look further than the Lebanon Mountain Trail Association (LMTA), which arose in 2006 due to a call to increase eco-tourism. Since then, the LMTA has been working to develop a long system of organized trails from the north to the south, including trails that are suited for family excursions, as well as trails for the seasoned hiker. Information about the variety of trails that the LMTA has worked to develop can be found at www.lebanontrail.org.

Open higher-ed data could be big for policymakers

Open data can help with a variety of education concerns, Saraktsannis said, including more accurately lining up student skills and the needs of future employers, improving administration of educational systems, and improving the decisions students and faculty make about a student’s career.

Access to more open data can also help inform the decisions made by legislators about education, said Cecilia Retelle, founder of Ranku, a search engine for online degree programs.

But that data has be accurate and applicable to the issue at hand, she warned. When writing legislation regarding online learning, for example, using data about traditional on-campus students, which most education open data is about, would be utilizing information about the wrong type of student.

“Whatever decision you make, whatever policy you push,” Retelle said, “make sure your data is good.”

Website launches to help people enjoy New York City on a Budget

A website aimed at travellers wishing to visit New York City on a budget is set to be launched this week.

New York City on a budget is the brainchild of Sammual-James McLoughlin, a seasoned traveller to New York City, whom for the last 20 years has spent his time exploring inexpensive attractions and practical means to help explore the city for those on a tight budget.

Sammual-James McLoughlin said about the launch, “This will be an ongoing blog of my thoughts, opinions and insider know-how. Whilst trips to the Big Apple are limited at the moment due to the pandemic, the armchair traveller will be able to read weekly updates and plan a trip once it is safe to do so”.

There are plenty of free or inexpensive opportunities for the solo traveller or indeed a group of friends or family can explore. New York City on a Budget will help point you in the right direction.

McLoughlin continues, “I’ve always had a passion for New York City, it’s a cooking pot of culture, opportunities, and people from all walks of life, and that’s why I love the city. I hope my passion will be reflected in the blog and most of all readers will be inspired for when the time is right to return to this great city – New York City”.

Sammual-James McLoughlin continues, “Even if you are on a tight budget there are still plenty of things to see and do that are affordable. I’ll make your money last longer without compromising on your travel experience. From low cost travel across the city to free visits to museums, there is a great amount of offers to take advantage of. You just need to know the secrets and the blog will provide you with insight. I’ll also point out my favourite low cost city attractions including restaurants that will allow you to eat cheaply but offer great food and service”.

Cormorants remain a major issue

John Bailey and Jack hold a gorgeous common carp picked up on the surface.

John Bailey and Jack hold a gorgeous common carp picked up on the surface. - Credit: Archant

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Last week's Angler's Mail was full of news that the RSPB is once again defending the right of foreign cormorants to do as they wish on our rivers and stillwaters. I have long been a member of the RSPB because I love my birding so I will remain in the organisation, but I do despair of its rigid, blinkered and militant stance on so many issues.

In this particular news story, the RSPB was maintaining that cormorant numbers are not rising and that the damage they do is peripheral. I am out on the River Wensum each and every day through the autumn and winter and numbers of the birds certainly rose this year just gone. Of course, it's easy for the RSPB to quote any statistics that they want without fear of rebuttal.

What the RSPB does not seem capable of realising is the fact that once cormorants have stripped a river or a stillwater of fish then so many other creatures struggle. I can think of an endless number of Wensum gravel pits where there are no fish and where, therefore, there are no kingfishers, grebes or herons. As the gravels choke with weed without fish to clean them, fly life diminishes dramatically. You don't see swallows, swifts, martins or bats there any more either. In fact, if the RSPB wants to see more moribund aquatic habitats in the coming years, then it will continue to support the cormorant. Is that what its members really want?

As Norfolk anglers, we have another gremlin beginning to stretch itself. Along with cormorants, there is no doubt in my mind that the other most calamitous thing to affect our rivers during my lifetime was the deep dredging that took place until a few years back.

In the 1970s and 1980s, many of us began to realise that savage dredging was the ecological disaster it is now widely recognized to be. Deep dredging destroys the entire river topography. It sweeps away gravels and spawning beds and refuge for small fish. It destroys food sources for fish and waterfowl alike. Bankside vegetation is crippled and, experience proves, that flooding is not actually even made less likely as a result. Moreover, deep dredging of the old style makes flooding down the river, often in cities, even more likely and even more serious.

There cannot, therefore, be a single solitary argument in support of bringing the dredgers back out of retirement but, appallingly, there are whispers in the wind. We've seen over the past couple of years that this government of ours is not good at being strong, but is weak when it comes to standing up to pressure groups.

This is where we anglers, all of us, need the Angling Trust. I don't care if you are a sea angler, a trout angler, a carp angler, a predator angler, a match angler or just a general angler. You need to join.

Most Read

The RSPB has over a million anglers and is financially and politically powerful. It holds huge sway over the media, over public opinion and at Westminster. If there was ever a stand-up battle between the RSPB and the angling fraternity, the former, for years, has had a complete walk-over success. There are supposed to be two million plus anglers in this country. If we all join the Angling Trust then it will have the support and the funds to bare its teeth as savagely as the RSPB does with frightening frequency.

On a much happier note, I had the most magnificent day down in the Wensum Valley with young Jack Whyman, surface fishing for carp. He picked up three simply gorgeous mid-double commons and his dad drove him home as though the car were travelling on air. Young Jack is an avid fan of the Crabtree series and the day I spent with him just reinforced how great it is to take kids out and to watch their triumphs.

Jack pronounced our day the very best one of his entire life. Considering his dad had just taken him to the Nou Camp in Spain to watch Barcelona play a league match, I take that as something of a compliment! Yep, angling is up there with football and all the rest as one of the captivating sports of the world.

And talking of Crabtree, can I remind everyone ALL six episodes of series one are being shown back to back on Sunday, June 16, Father's Day 1pm-7pm on Quest, Channel 38 Freeview, 154 Sky and 172 Virgin.

Braceros’s dedication, hard work sends him to Erskine

Gaby Perez, Staff Reporter

Over the course of his high school career, senior Kevin Braceros has put forward immense energy, time and effort into his role as Elk Grove’s outside hitter. It is this dedication to volleyball that positively influenced and shaped his post- secondary education plans.

In the fall, Braceros will study chemistry at Erskine College where he will play against Division I schools.

With these big aspirations on the horizon, Braceros reflected on significant aspects of high school volleyball. He shared that the most influential advice he implements into his game strategy is to always ‘control the controllable.’ This is crucial to the team’s success because they will “play amazing teams and bad teams, what matters is that we control the ball when it’s on our side of the court. We can control the things on our side such as passes, hits, serves, to eliminate errors.

Braceros is proud to credit his achievements to his family’s unconditional support. In addition, he has absorbed tips from his mom, who played college volleyball, and his older siblings, whose games he always attended. Further inspirations come from the libero for France’s National Team, Jenia Grebennikov, whose hustle, energy and ability to throw his body at the ball are “insane.”

Looking forward, Braceros anticipates the competition and schoolwork to intensify. He plans on prioritizing time management and communication, stating, “With all the training, practices, and traveling involved, communication with professors and coaches will be huge.”

He ultimately committed to Erskine due to the campus giving him a sense of “home away from home.”

The sacrifices have been worth the chance for Braceros to continue following his childhood dream, admitting, “Whenever a kid plays a sport that they love they have that image of playing in college or playing professional.”
