Aleknagik, AK
Aleknagik is located at the head of Wood River on the southeast end of Lake Aleknagik, 16 miles northwest of Dillingham. The community lies at approximately 59.273060° North Latitude and -158.61778° (West) Longitude. (Sec. 31, T010S, R055W, Seward Meridian.) Aleknagik is located in the Bristol Bay Recording District. The area encompasses 11.6 sq. miles of land and 7.2 sq. miles of water. Aleknagik is in a transitional climate zone. The primary influence is maritime, although a continental climate does affect the weather here. Average summer temperatures range from 30 to 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Average winter temperatures range from 4 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Annual precipitation is 20 to 35 inches and annual snowfall is 93 inches. Fog and low clouds are common during July and August, and may preclude access. The lake and river are ice-free from June through mid-November.
Wood River and Aleknagik Lake have been used historically as summer fish camps. The 1929 U.S. Census found 55 people living in the "Wood River village" area to the south. During 1930, there were five families living on the shores of the lakey ear-round, the Waskeys. Polleys, Hansons, Yakos, and Smiths. A log cabin territorial school was built on the south shore of the lake in 1933, and Josie Waskey was the first teacher. Attracted by the school,other facilities, and plentiful fish, game and timber, a number of families from Goodnews, Togiak, and Kulukak area relocated to Aleknagik. A post office was established in 1937. A two-story framed school with a teacher apartment was constructed in 1938. By 1939, Aleknagik had 78 residents, over 30 buildings, and a small sawmill. In the late 1940s, a Seventh-Day Adventist Mission and School was established on the north shore. During the 1950s, a Moravian Church and a Russian Orthodox Church were built in Aleknagik and over 35 families lived along the lake. In 1959, the state constructed a 25-mile road connecting the south shore to Dillingham. The road was passable only during the summer months, until the late 1980s, when it was upgraded and maintained year-round. The City was incorporated in 1973. Over 24 additional square miles were annexed to the City in April 2000.
A federally-recognized tribe is located in the community -- the Aleknagik Traditional Council. The population of the community consists of 84.6% Alaska Native or part Native. It is a traditional Yup'ik Eskimo area, with historical influences from the Seventh-Day Adventists, Russian Orthodox and Moravians. Fishing and subsistence activities are practiced. During the 2000 U.S. Census, total housing units numbered 107, and vacant housing units numbered 37. Vacant housing units used only seasonally numbered 21. U.S. Census data for Year 2000 showed 69 residents as employed. The unemployment rate at that time was 21.59 percent, although 51.75 percent of all adults were not in the workforce. The median household income was $22,750, per capita income was $10,973, and 40.77 percent of residents were living below the poverty level.
The majority of residents (49 homes) have household plumbing, and most use individual wells. 12 homes do not have water or sewer service -some haul water from the community center, and a few are served by aspring water catchment system. Septic tanks, leechate fields and public sewage lagoons are used for sewage disposal. The North Shore uses eleven shared residential effluent pumps (REP units) which discharge into a piped system. There are three landfill sites. The North Shore landfill is being relocated; the South Shore landfill has an incinerator but is unfenced. A third landfill is located 2 miles from the South Shore, on the West side of the Aleknagik-Dillingham road.Nushagak Electric in Dillingham provides electricity to Aleknagik. Electricity is provided by Nushugak Electric Cooperative. There is one school located in the community, attended by 33 students. Local hospitals or health clinics include North Shore Health Clinic(842-5512), South Shore Health Clinic (842-2185) or Kanakanak Hospital in Dillingham. Both, North and South Shore Clinics are Primary Health Care facilities. Aleknagik is classified as a highway village, it is found in EMS Region 2I in the Bristol Bay Region. Emergency Services have limited highway, air and satellite access. Emergency service is provided by volunteers and a health aide Auxiliary health care is provided by Aleknagik First Responders Group (907-842-2085); or Kanakanak Hospital in Dillingham (25 road miles).
Many residents participate in commercial and subsistence activities on the Bristol Bay coast during the summer. 33 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Trapping is also an important means of income. Most families depend to some extent on subsistence activities to supplement their livelihoods. Salmon, freshwater fish, moose, caribou, and berries are harvested. Poor fish returns and prices since 1997 have significantly affected the community.
Aleknagik is the only regional village with a road link to Dillingham,a 25-mile road which connects the south shore. The "New Aleknagik" airport is a State-owned 2,070' long by 90' wide gravel airstrip located on the north shore, and regular flights are scheduled through Dillingham. The north shore of the lake is not road accessible;residents use skiffs to travel to town on the south shore. Moody's Aleknagik Seaplane Base, also on the north shore, accommodates floatplanes. There are two additional airstrips, the public Tripod Airport,a 1,250' turf-gravel airstrip located 2 miles southeast of Aleknagik, and the 7th Day Adventist's Mission School Airport, a 1,200'gravel/dirt airstrip with a crosswind runway. The State owns and operates a 100' dock on the north shore of Aleknagik Lake. A breakwater, barge landing, boat launch ramp and boat lift are available on the north shore. Vehicles, skiffs, ATVs and snowmachines are the most frequent means of local transportation.

Members of the Trump administration have publicly admitted that the barbaric family separation policy was meant to deter undocumented families trying to escape violence in their home countries. DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen's oversight of this egregious human rights violation, combined with her lies to Congress and the American public about the family separation policy make her utterly unfit for her role. Congress must call on Nielsen to resign immediately.

Record Title: Part 1-Foundations
A 134Kb PDF of this article as it appeared in the magazine—complete with images—is available by clicking HERE
This is the first of a three part series examining Record Title which essentially was the subject of both of Curtis Brown's books (Boundary Control and Legal Principles, and Evidence and Procedures for Boundary Location). Black's Law Dictionary defines Record Title as: title to real property evinced by one or more instruments duly entered in the public land records system. In part one we will look at the historical evolution of record title; part two will be a detailed examination of the Record Title Acts; and part three will address problems within the chain-of-title. Every aspect of Record Title discussed can have a direct bearing on the surveyor's professional boundary opinion.
Surveyors, title insurers and public agencies (including the courts) rely primarily on recorded instruments in determining real property rights and responsibilities. Our modern system of recorded deeds has evolved from its early English history of oral transfers into today's process. In some ways that process is similar to a GIS with "layers" placed over underlying foundational information. But upper (current) layers which often obscure foundational (older) concepts have not replaced or eliminated them. The original basis of real property ownership continues today, overlaid by our modern system.
Today's Record Title, which forms the basis of most our professional boundary opinions, is the result primarily of two key pieces of legislation: the Statute of Frauds and the Recording Act. Each state legislature has adopted (usually with only minor variation) the 1677 general parliamentary change from oral to written contracts regarding the transfer of real property rights. Subsequently, they also adopted legislation which strongly encourages recordation of those contracts. Although neither enactment is absolute, over time these two laws have combined to form the basis of our modern documentary preservation and retrieval system.
During the Middle Ages large portions of England and Western Europe were held in allodium; ownership was by an individual in their own right without obligation to an overlord (owing neither service, product or fealty). Following the Battle of Hastings in1066, William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, created an "English feudal system". Conceptually, as King, William owned all of the land. To those who had assisted him in defeating King Harold, William parceled out rights to the use of various portions of the country. Over time these possessory interests became what the common law thinks of today as ownership. Technically however the Crown is still the owner, mediate or immediate, of each and every parcel. In America the sovereign states are the allodial owners and take title to land when a previous owner dies without heirs (escheat).
In a society where virtually everyone was illiterate (e.g., they could neither read nor write) the transfer of real property was accomplished orally via livery of seisin. The buyer and seller would meet on the land, in the presence of the adjoiners. The seller would verbally describe the property being sold and point out the corners to the buyer. The adjoiners either corrected any boundary misstatement or "forever held their peace". The seller placed a rock, a tree branch, or some other symbol of the land in the buyer's hand and the transfer was complete–possession equaled ownership.
As society became more populous and more prosperous it also became more literate, particularly amongst landowners (wealth and education have been linked for a long time). With increased population, the supply of undeveloped land decreased and land values increased–as did ownership disputes. Then as now, evidence was the key–but evidence of an oral contract is often hard to establish; by the seventeenth century many landowners were choosing to use written contracts.
There were significant societal changes occurring at this time. The Statute of Frauds, one of many parliamentary acts, dealt with a host of contractual issues in addition to the transfer of land ownership (a deed is actually a specialized form of contract). The legislature was primarily concerned with the evidence of contractual agreements and the difficulty of adjudicating disputes arising from oral contracts. In terms of real property, the Statute of Frauds only addressed interests "made or created by Livery-of-Seisin"; it did not affect property rights which were the product of inheritance or the operation of law.
Perhaps as an unintended consequence or perhaps merely as another of the many changes, the creation of written deeds coincided with trends toward "fragmentation of title" and, unfortunately, ambiguity of description. The common law came to recognize possessory and non-possessory rights; legal and equitable interests; present, future and concurrent titles. The `bundle of rights' comprising ownership grew exponentially. And the written description of parcels often differed from the description of previous and/or adjoining ownerships. Despite these problems the Statute of Frauds has provided the framework for a more definite and stable land tenure system.
Colonial America did not strictly follow English law despite our recognition of habeas corpus and trial by a jury of one's peers. Each colony passed its own statutes with its governor or legislature often initially acting as "the court". Adaptation of English law favoring practical experience and/or experimentation was common; juries exhibited `homespun justice' and `common sense'; the rules of real property inheritance were changed; and Church courts did not exist. Despite these differences, and the anti-British sentiment following the War of Independence, Blackstone's Commentaries and the common law continued to provide the general basis of our American judicial system.
Real Property law in this country is essentially a `state matter'; federal law on the subject is quite limited. As a result, the NCEES exam covers boundary law generically, leaving the `local intricacies' to individual state exams. Each state's legislature has adopted a Statute of Frauds, albeit using modern language and in many instances some slight variation–but the basic principle of a written deed is contained in each enactment.
The use of written rather than oral transfers of real property rights, titles, and interests has no doubt prevented many disputes between grantors and grantees; but the Statute of Frauds does not pertain to third parties. If a grantor, knowingly or unintentionally, grants the same (portion of a) parcel or right to different grantees the Statute of Frauds is of no help in resolving the conflict. The common law developed the maxim: First in time, first in right. Today's surveyors and title examiners often refer to the concept as senior rights. The first (or senior) grantee is held to have acquired "the full measure" of their deed, while the second (or junior) grantee acquired "the remainder" of grantors original parcel–albeit less than their deed described.
The purpose of our judicial system is to resolve disputes: quickly, fairly and permanently. To this end the law has adopted fundamental concepts, such as "First in time, first in right". The rationalization of this concept is, that having once conveyed the (portion of) the parcel grantor no longer owned it and therefore could not have conveyed it to the second grantee. Inevitably there were innocent `junior grantees' who failed to acquire what they paid for because of unknown or unrevealed `senior conveyances'.
The Statute of Frauds only required inter vivos transfers (between t
he living) to be in writing, it said nothing about inheritances, the operation of law or protecting "third parties". The legislature addressed the major part of the problem by enacting a Recording Act. The new legislation served two functions: it established priorities between the grantees of the same parcel from a common source; and it provided for a public land record document preservation and retrieval system.
None of the recording acts require recordation, they only create a strong incentive to record a deed in a timely manner. The incentive is the potential loss of seniority ("first in time") if they do not record their deed. The recording acts also declare that everyone "knows" the entire content of the thereby created public land record system; we are all charged with constructive notice of recorded documents. In the eyes of the law we all are aware of prior recorded deeds; therefore, except with regard to unrecorded deeds, we take title "knowing about the senior right" and can not be innocent victims.
Under all of the recording acts the first conveyee must record or run the risk of loosing what they have acquired. And, all conveyees must search the record or run the risk of not acquiring what they are paying for. This inherent duality presented the various state legislatures with the problem of deciding which condition would, ultimately, abrogate the common law priority. Some jurisdictions adopted a "race statute" under which the conveyee who recorded their deed first was declared to have priority; others adopted a "notice statute" which declared that a subsequent conveyee would have priority since the previous conveyee created the problem.
Some legislatures felt that both ideas were "incomplete"; they adopted a "racenotice statute" which combined elements of the other two. Under this scenario a subsequent conveyee who takes title without notice of a prior right and who first records their deed is given priority. Today, there are very few "race" states and only a handful of "notice" jurisdictions; the majority of state legislatures have adopted "race-notice" statutes.
Modern real estate transactions depend heavily upon title assurances. Statutorily deed forms (other than quitclaims) contain explicit and/or implied assurances of grantor's capacity to convey the rights, titles and/or interests described therein. Whether expressed or implied as warranties, covenants or other means, these assurances are rarely sufficient to satisfy many purchasers and their lenders. Most transactions today involve either a Lawyer's Title Opinion or Title Insurance. In virtually all situations, even in jurisdictions utilizing a title registration system, the documents of record form the basis of the title assurances relied upon. Part two of this series will be a detailed examination the land record system and its application.

Body Weight, Blood Pressure and the Risk of Total and Cardiovascular Mortality in an Obese Population
Douglas E. Crews, Department of Community Health and Preventive Medicine, Chicago
Age, blood pressure, body weight and fatness are risk factors for total and cardiovascular disease mortality in populations of European ancestry. This study examines associations between these characteristics and sixyear mortality in a prospective sample of American Samoans (N = 5800), a Polynesian population noted for a high prevalence of obesity and a moderately high prevalence of hypertension. Data on age, body weight, height, blood pressure and three skin folds were collected during 1976 and later linked to mortality records from 1976 through 1981. The body mass index (BMI) was determined to provide an index of overweight. Neither body weight nor BMI were related to total or cardiovascular mortality in men or women. Age and elevated systolic or diastolic blood pressure were associated with elevated total and cardiovascular disease mortality in both sexes. The finding that elevated body weight and early mortality are not directly related in this very overweight Polynesian population contrasts with many studies on populations of European ancestry. Conversely, the effect of blood pressure on total as well as cardiovascular mortality is consistent with previous studies on populations of European descent. These results suggest that relationships between physiological characteristics and mortality may vary with cultural, genetic or physiological factors not examined here. Further studies of obese populations in a cross-cultural context are needed to specify the associations of these characteristics with mortality.

When most people think of "2-in-1" shampoo and conditioner products, images of the old Pert Plus commercials come to mind. These combination products have generally had a more utilitarian reputation with a masculine following and the overall idea of "getting it over with." Recently though, I noticed a few new 2-in-1 products with revamped packaging and appealing claims about moisturizing and protecting hair.
The usual complaint about standard shampoo is that it strips curly hair, leaving it frizzy and difficult to manage. On the other hand, some people feel that sulfate-free cleansers do not give them the clean scalp feeling that they want. I wondered: could a shampoo-conditioner hybrid be the happy medium?
I began my research online, quickly realizing that there are few high-end brands that offer 2-in-1 options. Head Organics 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner appeared to be a good option of the natural variety. I decided to continue my search in the drugstore hair product aisle, looking for something that could get the job done at a budget friendly price. There were several low cost 2-in-1 options for children, as well as various male brands with scent varieties such as "Anarchy" (seriously!), but I really wanted a modern feminine version!
Hair care brands Aussie, Garnier, and Tresemme had a few 2-in-1 shampoo options, but it was clear that Pantene and Herbal Essences provided a wider selection. Pantene had 2-in-1 versions in several of their product lines, boasting benefits such as volumizing, shine enhancing, color protecting, and strengthening. Herbal Essences had two choices, one being the "Touchably Smooth" humidity fighting option, and the other the "Hello Hydration" moisturizing version.
I was assessing my choices when a brand new product caught my eye. Aveeno Pure Renewal 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner was exactly what I was hoping to find! I immediately noticed that it was sulfate-free, which seemed like an automatic plus. The packaging was modern without being cheesy or child-like, it was under $7.00, and it smelled great. It had much more natural ingredients than any of the other choices, and the package promised to rebalance hair and avoid over-stripping. I was sold!
I have type 2b to 2c hair that can get extremely dried out from washing, so I normally only wash it once every three days. I decided that testing out the Aveeno 2-in-1 for three weeks would give me enough chances to use it and see results. I thought it was best to keep the rest of my routine constant. I typically use a leave-in conditioner combined with gel and add sea salt spray if I am needing to tighten my curls, reviving my hair as needed with my stand-by product, CURLS Quenched Curls 2nd Day Curl Refresher.
The first time I used the 2-in-1, I had mixed feelings because my hair felt dry. I realized that I had completely cut out my usual conditioner and deep conditioner, so my hair was drier than usual anyway. From there on out, I continued to use the 2-in-1 but made sure to add conditioner on the ends or do a deep conditioning treatment as needed. My hair felt clean every time. Once I found the right balance with conditioner, I was very happy with the results. My hair seemed shiny and manageable without being stripped from shampoo or weighted down by a heavy cream cleanser.
The Aveeno 2-in-1 really did deliver what I was looking for, providing the fresh and clean feeling of shampoo with the moisturizing benefits. I think that this 2-in-1 has definitely made it on my list of favorite products. However, I still think that it is important to deep condition often and continue using a leave-in conditioner with this product, especially for those with tighter and thicker textures. It is more of a shampoo replacement and a conditioner enhancer, rather than taking the place of your other conditioning regimens.
Have you ever tried a 2-in-1 product? Let us know what you thought!

Hellenic Electronic Center (HEC) For the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles
Prof. Dimitris Pandermalis, in his statements during the International Workshop on the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures said:
"This is the first time that we are shedding light (on the Ottoman archives), because so far all that has been written was based on what we know from Western writers. We are interested in what was really happening in the Ottoman Empire at that time and whether the claim is true that there is a firman (allowing the removal of the Parthenon Marbles)."
He referred to the findings of two Turkish scientists and researchers of the Ottoman archives, Professor Zeynep Aygen and historian Orhan Sakin, as well as the Acropolis Museum's own research into the period between 1800-1831, spanning the end of Ottoman rule in Greece and the conversion of the Acropolis into an archaeological site, relating three stories concerning the vandalism of the Marbles by Elgin.
Pandermalis stressed that in her speech, Prof. Aygen said
"Ancient stones were valued by the Turks also and that is why monuments were saved.
The only person in the empire with the authority to allow a monument to be moved was the sultan himself. The document that is preserved and which they call a "firman" is not, in fact, a firman, it is not an order.
It is an administrative letter from the Kaimakam of Constantinople to the authorities of Athens. And it is very interesting, when reading the papers of the other side, the English, that there too, it seems very clear that it is not a permit that allows the Parthenon to be stripped bare but a permit for the excavation of volumes of earth around the Parthenon. This [document] states that none of the Acropolis generals must prevent the removal of what has fallen [as a result of] the bombing by Morosini. Detachment from the building is not mentioned anywhere,"
At the time of the looting of the Acropolis, Pandermalis added, that according to Prof. Aygen, "licenses were issued, but they were for trips so that Elgin and his representative Philip Hunt should not have to pay taxes and to provide them with security and accommodation – but not a license to remove stones and sculptures from the monument itself." See also the Review of the Seizure.
He also noted:
"We know that four firmans were required in order to move four fragments of a sarcophagus, and every detail of what you wanted to take was written down in the firman, and not just 'some stones'. So there are too many weak points that the Turkish side is researching and we are glad to have a historically proven picture of how services operated at that time, what it was necessary to do. This makes the Western texts comprehensible, where this letter is referred to as a firman when it is not."
Christophoros Argyropoulos, lawyer and president of The Melina Mercouri Foundation and the Greek Consultative Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures, said: "The Parthenon sculptures are a special case of abduction and removal of foreign works of art because they were taken from monuments of unique artistic value that are preserved to this day and are a symbol of European culture."
Marianna Vardinoyannis, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador:
"Today's initiative coming from the Presidency of the Republic and personally by a President who is the most appropriate to support the rights of the Parthenon and our country with the most serious scientific, historical, legal and moral arguments, declares the constant desire of Greece and the Greek people to continue this national effort and together send the strongest message that the Parthenon Sculptures have a homeland. They have identity, memory and a voice, and this voice is becoming ever stronger."

The inspiration to provide a comprehensive post and pre-hospital care service for the Sickle Cell client group and their families, was instigated from my years of caring for my husband and children who were born with an inherited blood disorder that mainly affects people from the African descent such as the Mediterranean, Caribbean Islands, Saudi Arabia, India, South and Central America as well as some European countries.
Because of my experience caring for my family, I am fully aware of the inclusive support required for sufferers, and families that care for them. Continuous support and specialised care is paramount after the patient is discharged from hospital. There are very serious side effects from some of the drugs which are used to stabilise and ease the painful Sickle Cell crisis. Treatment in hospital can come in the form of very strong Opiates to relieve the pain. Other medication such as antibiotics, blood transfusions and other medical treatment, would be applied to combat other serious symptoms related from the Sickle Cell crisis. The side effects of drugs combined with the hospital environment is not conducive to the mental and physical conditions when Sickle Cell crisis occurs. For example, bright lights, noisy wards, low nutritional intake, Nurses and Doctors who have little or no knowledge of how to treat Sickle Cell patients, and lack of awareness amongst the wider community, including people from the black and ethnic minority groups. The combination of all these elements has contributed to slow recovery while in hospital.
I find that with my family, when discharged from hospital, often still experience pain and additional sickness caused by the side effects of the medication administered to combat the pain whilst in hospital. Recuperation period is paramount. Special care has to be given at home by the carers, families or friends to ensure that their loved ones overcome each and every Sickle Cell crisis attack. During my struggle coping with care for my family, I always longed for some kind of help and other community intervention that I could tap into to give me some respite, information on how to cope and care for my children and my husband. There was none available from the medical providers or any community projects. There were a few small Sickle Cell projects mostly run by the NHS to provide research and to collect data when people had been admitted, but nothing in the area of aftercare, outreach support for help with daily living that all disabled or chronically ill people needed to cope.
This is when the vision came to me to set up a holistic therapeutic service/respite, social care service to help patients overcome the traumatic experience during and after Sickle Cell crisis. I know that long term chronic pain causes many emotional & physical reactions.
Within my household, Sickle Cell crisis varies individually, and despite the same illness they always needed varying support and attention. Body massages and warm baths were used to help relieve pain and maintain good blood flow and nutrition for nourishment of the body, gentle exercise to aid circulation and bring oxygen and blood to organs and tissues, motivation and encouragement and reassuring them that they would be well soon. In correlation with my duties as a wife and mother, I also had to be their health advisor, making sure they had the right diet and took their prescribed medication correctly to aid their recovery. The frequent mood swings my family experienced from the side effects of the medications had to be addressed. I had to develop ways to deal with the crisis and to explain to the children in order for them to better understand the way they felt and the reasons for these symptoms. I am not a trained counsellor, however, it was just one of many challenges and skills parents and families have to develop when caring for Sickle Cell sufferers.
Being a sole carer for anyone with a disability is tremendously demanding in all areas of a carers' life. Sickle Cell Anaemia is equally debilitating as any other chronic health conditions Being a carer, one needs a wide circle of support, this includes family members, friends and the wider community in particular, health services, local MPs, health ministers and policy makers to recognise the seriousness of the condition and work together to provide adequate resources for provision of specialised care for sufferers and carers a like.
Against the odds in 2001 I stepped out in faith with very little knowledge of setting up a charity let alone run a project. The charity was established in August 2001 to provide practical care and support for people who suffer from Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia and the wider community who suffer from long term illnesses to benefit from the therapeutic care we offer. The charity has grown tremendously and successfully, and we are now providing other services to Sickle Cell suffers and the wider community, to fill the gaps where local authorities no longer support. We continue to struggle to obtain serious funding for sustainability, and a dedicated facility for the charity. Renting from a commercial landlord is not practical or cost effective in the long-term. We are appealing for sympathetic donors to help us carry on this vast project, in money or in-kind to help us with a dedicated building to continue this work to help give people a better quality of life.
Despite the difficulties, the outlook for people with sickle cell anaemia is not one of unrelieved bleakness and negativity. Providing they receive good levels of care and support within their family and the community, they can still achieve great things. People with sickle cell anaemia have successfully worked in high-level careers, including the Medical and Legal professions, and have not been prevented from making their full contribution to society. Although the periods of crisis that affect some sufferers can be serious and often require hospitalisation, it is important to note that not everyone with the condition experiences sickle cell crisis.
Away from the world of work, people with the condition often draw huge comfort from family life. The disease does not in any way impact upon the ability to have children.
In short, providing the right levels of support are in place, particularly during episodes of periodic crisis, sickle cell anaemia does not prevent those with the disease from enjoying full and happy lives.
I know that a project as diverse as this is not going to be easy but I would like to give YAHWEH thanks for all he has done already and in advance for what I know he will do. I would also like to thank everyone who has already contributed to helping and supporting me through this.
use to cope while living or caring for sickle cell sufferers.
To identfy effective support services and methods of delivery, both formal and informal which will support stable family life for patients and carers.
Our mission is to help develop resources and services to improve the health, quality of life and awareness for people living with sickle cell disease and associated conditions as well as providing support for caregivers, families and friends. Our vision is to be known as providers of the highest quality of holistic care and support for sufferers of sickle cell disease, regardless of economic or social standing.
The average life of a young person with sickle cell or thalassaemia is truncated with periods of isolation from others due to many illnesses associated with sickle cell. In addition, they are unable to engage in a variety of physical and outdoor activities. It is for this reason that young sufferers often lose out on many opportunities taken for granted by people without this, or any other disability.
To combat this, our services for young people are geared towards giving them access to a space where they can engage in fun and social activities in a caring and safe environment. And because we believe positive and personal encouragement goes a long way, we teach all young sicklers we make contact with to take an active role in the decisions affecting their lives, including treatments for their conditions.
In Wolverhampton there are areas of social deprivation with high unemployment. Many of the people in these areas are Pakistani, Gujarati, Patwa, Punjabi and Urdu speaking. As English is not the first language of our local target communities, it can cause problems if they were to receive information and/or services they need in the English language, with no given alternative. The Sickle Cell Care is accustomed to providing multilingual advice, services and information for its registered clients. And because we are a community-orientated organisation, our services can extend outside of office hours. Please feel free to make enquiries about additional help or assistance during evenings and weekends.

Posted By: Louise Foxcroft on February 19th, 2014
Who would say no to sexual enlightenment? There are enough books on carnal knowledge to satisfy the appetites of the greediest, and we have devoured or dipped into them since the earliest sex manuals were written in China, more than two and a half thousand years ago. Sex and nature were synonymous throughout the early Chinese dynasties, sharing the same word, 'xing', and so outdoor sex was considered the most satisfying, each tree and flower suggesting a different position. A long and healthy life, the balance of yin and yang, was achieved through constant love-making with many partners. Men were instructed to bring their women to orgasm but not to ejaculate themselves, thereby emulating the mythical 'Yellow Emperor' who became immortal after congress with 12,000 women.The Indian Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana, only privately printed for the first time in English in 1883, summarises works dating back as much as three thousand years. Ovid's erotodidactic Ars Amatoria, is some 2,000 years old, and begins with the seductive encouragement, 'Should anyone here not know the art of love, read this, and learn by reading how to love.' For when a man 'finds the spot where a woman loves to be touched':
She'll moan and whisper sweet nothings and sigh contentedly … But be careful that you don't gallop ahead, leaving her behind. And make sure that she doesn't reach the finish before you do.
Ovid, unfortunately, was banished by the Emperor Augustus for writing his 'poetry as sex' (and for an unknown act of folly), and in fifteenth-century Florence his works were cast into the great bonfire of Savonarola, as erotic, impious, and corrupting. But the heady erudition that suffused the Renaissance allowed the publication of Sinibaldi's Geneanthropeia, the first standard Western work on sexuality (the English made do with a bowdlerized edition, Rare Verities, the Cabinet of Venus Unlock'd). Sinibaldi's sex had marvellous and 'Salubrious effects', but only if 'rendered lawful by matrimony and free of sin', lest 'the sinner lose his soul if not his health'. Aphrodisiacs were welcome, boys as lust-objects were not, and flagellation was a complete prodigy, for how could it be 'that pleasure comes from pain, sweet from bitter, lust from bloody wounds? Does the same road lead to torment and to delight?' The work bursts with libidinous folklore, revels in the concupiscence of women, and ponders whether nature could 'more opportunely have located the male organ elsewhere, and why did she endow him with one only, and not two?'In the seventeenth century Nicolas de Venette's The Mysteries of Conjugal Love Reveal'd was published, destined to be Europe's most popular sex manual for the next two hundred years. In France it had run to thirty-one editions by 1800 and had been translated from the French into English, German, Dutch, and Spanish. Scientific and bawdy, serious and salacious, it unveiled everything from African erotic habits to autopsy reports to Christian pieties. Venette will tell you how to read the signs of an absent maidenhead, how many times one may amorously caress a lover in a night, and which is the most sensual, the man or the woman (Answer: the woman, for she has a lascivious imagination, a 'great Bum and fleshy thighs', and she is, happily, the more moist). He was a mischievous scholar and a master of the not-so-modern art of book-promotion. Insisting that his revelations were the 'Naked Truth', Venette suggested that 'even the scrupulous may be dazzled' and hoped the reader might 'be fit enough to withstand the violent efforts of Love' described. If he was not, and found the contents 'never so filthy', he 'should rather accuse his own Lewdness than the words', for the dirty mind of the debauchee was quite beyond the author's blame. The infamous and almost as popular Aristotle's Master-Piece first appeared in 1684 and, having no pretensions to medical research, it enthusiastically detailed all manner of sexual anecdote and perversity. It was written for the 'Cultivation of the Mind', and with this noble aim the author plunged himself into so linguistically sensual a description of the male and female 'secret parts' that even the modern reader in an air-conditioned Library feels the rising heat of her imagination stir and finds it difficult to concentrate on the text. That which is 'stil'd the Seat of Lust' in a woman, he writes, that 'excellent Piece of Nature that we are to lay open [is] fresh and red … like Myrtle Berries'. And bless the man, for even then he taught that the 'Clytoris is essential to a woman's pleasure' which 'by swelling up causes Titillation and Delight in those Parts'. The clitoris, like 'the Comb of a Cock', he rhapsodises, 'grows sometimes out of the Body two Inches, but that happens not but upon some extraordinary Accident'. Such a tragedy notwithstanding, it 'both stirs up Lust and gives delight', as does the male Yard that 'Nature has plac'd obvious to the sight' and ordered so 'that when the Nerves are fill'd with Animal Spirits, and the Arteries with hot and spirituous Blood, then it is distended and becomes direct'. As to the Testicles, 'their Number and Place is obvious (there are two of 'em) like a Bunch of Grapes'.
Alas, come Victoria and the likes of the eminent surgeon and moralist William Acton, playfulness was forced underground. Discipline and order ruled the new sexology, with its hysterical approach to the female body, its moral manacles, and its psychiatrization of all pleasures perverse. Acton's ideas replaced inquisitive desire with erotic insanity; fortunate for women then that, according to him, 'The majority (happily for society) are not very much troubled with sexual feelings of any kind'. Sex was now a serious subject for serious men unafraid to face its more 'loathsome aspects'. Philanthropists, surgeons and clerics were called upon to educate the thousands of 'thoughtless, passionate, habitually licentious men' and Paphian women who, under a 'veil of artificial bashfulness', indulged themselves, willy-nilly, in lubricious erotomania. It became harder to extricate the quasi-science from the sex manual but all was not lost, as long as popular appetite remained unsated there were those who did not 'object to dealing with filth' in order to talk dirty in the name of medicine.
Yet, even in 1942, Eustace Chesser of Harley Street was prosecuted for obscenity over his 'plain guide to sex technique', Love Without Fear, despite it being written expressly for the married couple (as practically all such volumes have purported to be). Chesser is a mid-century, cuspate mix of taboo and liberality, a prelude to the early 1960s with the trial of Lady Chatterley's Lover and the beginning of Larkinesque sexual intercourse. In the 'normal sexual embrace', Chesser asserted, 'the man plays the active aggressive, dominating part. The woman's role is passive. She 'submits'. He 'takes' or 'possesses' her.' Kissing is unconditionally recommended though, especially if 'lovers mutually explore and caress the inside of each other's mouths with their tongues as profoundly as possible, sometimes for hours'. Lesbianism, sadly, is dismissed as just being 'often due to practices indulged in at school'. But he does get the academic vote when he writes: 'even bluestocking women can be good lovers … she takes off her blue stockings when she goes to bed'.
Manuals dedicated to liberating our sexuality proliferate still, and many mirror the earliest works with their playful indulgences laced with contemporary strictures. Surely everyone is comfortingly familiar with the erotic exploration of The Joy of Sex and its 70s message of safe delight, its orgasmic sounds of the suburbs. Today's manuals have taken it all up a notch and now pander to our specialisms and diversity: we can sample Sex Tips from a Dominatrix; try out The Multi-Orgasmic Man; gently probe gender play with The Ultimate Guide to Strap-On Sex; or perhaps let Naomi Wolf show us hers in Vagina: A New Biography, in which she discovers 'much to her own astonishment … that the vagina is not merely flesh'.
The heady fog of incense and the stinging stink of carbolic soap no longer pervade, though some contend that all sex manuals are nothing if not pornodidascalian, a secret titillation masquerading as an educative tool. Well, tut tut, heaven forfend that the valued and voracious reader might pleasure herself on her quest for enlightenment, or that knowledge should satisfy the body and mind together.

Very good service. Rick was very helpful and it was a great price.
Great company, great service. The company is a "Good Neighbor" to have when you need them.
We had been putting off getting the vents cleaned. After making several calls, we felt you were definitely the most knowledgeable. Thanks for the great service! We will recommend you.
For the price I paid, I am not happy with the results. I had to vacuum out the registers because there was still debris in there. Also, I was told that we would be able to see before and after pictures. NO PICTURES were taken. We are not sure if the ducts got clean or not. I feel like I paid a lot of money for a poor job. Over promised and under delivered.

Manufacturers have customized training options.
As technologies change and work forces age manufacturing companies have an ongoing demand for highly trained workers that are up to speed with new skills. Employers in maritime, aerospace, composite materials and advanced manufacturing work in partnership with Washington State's extensive community college and technical school system to develop customized training programs to meet their workforce needs. Maritime training includes welding, fabrication, marine propulsion and engineering along with on-deck maritime skills. Read more about maritime workforce training in the SeattleTimes.
The maritime industry employs 148,000 and generates about $15.2 billion in revenue. 80% of all luxury yachts are built in Washington State. In the aerospace sector, over 1,350 companies employ 132,500 highly trained workers and more than 1,300 commercial, military aircraft and unmanned aerial systems are produced annually.
The technical and professional skills required to keep these manufacturing sectors on the cutting edge is possible because of their close relationship with Washington's community and technical college system.

Q: Managing ranges with LINQ challenge Given the following numbers (representing days of week): 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
Here are some combination examples and their desired output:

*

*1,2,3,5,6,7 -> 1-3,5-7

*1,3,5,7 -> 1,3,5,7

*1,2,5,6 -> 1,2,5,6

*1,2,3,6,7 -> 1-3,6,7
The idea is that 3 or more consecutive days become a range while single or non-following days are rendered separately (or is it nicer to make range starting from 2).
I don't know where to start should I write a complicated ifed function or this can be done with one of the LINQ functions?
Any juicy suggestions?
I used numbers to simplify the idea of ranges, but in my code I have an flagged enum declared as follows:
[Flags]
public enum DaysOfWeek
{
  Sunday = 0x1,
  Monday = 0x2,
  Tuesday = 0x4,
  Wednesday = 0x8,
  Thursday = 0x10,
  Friday = 0x20,
  Saturday = 0x40
}

I have an entity OpeningTimes with a field DaysOfWeek, that tells what days in week the hour-ranges (defined in another property) of this entity apply to.
So the get the above I use (to really get numbers I'd add Select using index + 1):
var days = Enum.GetValues(typeof(DaysOfWeek))
             .Cast<DaysOfWeek>()
             .Where(dow => Model.DaysOfWeek.HasFlag(dow));

I think the idea is to first remove the numbers within a range.
I believe I'm looking for an aggregation function that receives the previous value as well, and can return another value-type, so I can make a function that if current value -1 equals prev. value, I wait for the next value, until range is not consecutive (or if element stands for itself) which is when I yield return the last bulk as an anonymous object and start working on the new one.
Then I'll make a formatting function that says if (item.First != item.Last) string.Join("-", item.First, Item.Last);

A: Here is what I thought:
void Main()
{
    Console.WriteLine(AggregateString(new int[]{1,2,3,5,6,7}));   //1-3,5-7
    Console.WriteLine(AggregateString(new int[]{1,3,5,7}));       //1,3,5,7
    Console.WriteLine(AggregateString(new int[]{1,2,5,6}));       //1,2,5,6
    Console.WriteLine(AggregateString(new int[]{1,2,3,6,7 }));    //1-3,6,7
}

string AggregateString(int[] ary)
{
    List<List<int>> result=new List<List<int>>();
    ary.Aggregate((m,n)=>
        {
            if(m == n-1)
            {
            if(result.LastOrDefault()!=null && result.LastOrDefault().Last() ==m)
                result.Last().Add(n);
            else
                result.Add(new List<int>{m,n});
            }
            else
            {
              if(result.LastOrDefault()==null)
                  result.Add(new List<int>{m,n});
              else result.Add(new List<int>{n});
            }
            return n;
        });
     return string.Join(",", result.Select(s=>s.Count()>2?
                    string.Join("-",new string[]{s.First().ToString(),s.Last().ToString()}) :
                    string.Join(",",s.Select(x=>x.ToString()).ToArray())).ToArray());
}

A: Here's my take on it.  (Unfortunately, I couldn't prevent duplicating one section:
static IEnumerable<string> GetRange(IEnumerable<int> range)
{
    using(IEnumerator<int> iter = range.GetEnumerator())
    if(iter.MoveNext())
    {
        int last = iter.Current;
        int start = iter.Current;
        while(iter.MoveNext())
        {
            int curr = iter.Current;
            if (curr == last+1)
            {
                last = curr;
                continue;
            }
            // found gap
            if (start == last)   // one isolated value
            {
                yield return start.ToString();
            }
            else if (last - start == 1) // two in a row.
            {
                yield return start.ToString();
                yield return last.ToString();
            }
            else
            {
                yield return string.Format("{0}-{1}", start,last);
            }
            start = curr;
            last = curr;
        }

        if (start == last)   // one isolated value
        {
            yield return start.ToString();
        }
        else if (last - start == 1) // two in a row.
        {
            yield return start.ToString();
            yield return last.ToString();
        }
        else
        {
            yield return string.Format("{0}-{1}", start,last);
        }
    }
}

A: Interesting problem. I decided for readability to have a class representing a range:
class NumberRange
{
    public int Start { get; set;}
    public int End { get; set;}
    public override string ToString()
    {
        return Start == End ? Start.ToString() : String.Format("{0}-{1}",Start,End);
    }
}

and an extension method to turn an IEnumerable of ordered integers into an IEnumerable of ranges:
public static IEnumerable<NumberRange> ToRanges(this IEnumerable<int> numbers)
{
    NumberRange currentRange = null;
    foreach(var number in numbers)
    {
        if (currentRange == null)
            currentRange = new NumberRange() { Start = number, End = number };
        else if (number == currentRange.End + 1)
            currentRange.End = number;
        else
        {
            yield return currentRange;
            currentRange = new NumberRange { Start = number, End = number };
        }
    }
    if (currentRange != null)
    {
        yield return currentRange;
    }
}

And with that in place you can get the ranges and format them however you want:
String.Join(",",
    new int[] { 1,2,3,5,7,8,9,11 }
        .ToRanges()
        .Select(r => r.ToString()))

You can't survive summer without grilling burgers at home. Even though we have a few spots where we like to have a tasty burger, there is nothing like having our favorite grill master make delicious burgers. These Mushroom Onion Gouda Burgers are great on any meal plan and were a hit with friends we had over on a weekend.
I did not grow up having a lot of meat. When we did have meat, it was usually overcooked, dry, or forgetful. I loved my mother's cooking but meat was not something she knew how to prepare.
So, what do you guess happened? I got married and I tried preparing meat like I knew. I overcooked every piece of meat and my husband was not going to have it. We bought a meat thermometer and since then, I am told that my meat skills are getting better. How could one single tool help so much! If you do not have one, you MUST get one.
Needless to say, when it comes to grilling, I leave it to my husband. Between the two of us, we usually switch off seasoning the meat but he always cooks it on the grill. On this occasion, I chose to create a burger recipe where all my hubby needed to do was grill the burgers.
I also did not grow up with any type of sauces, so when I started using steak and burger sauces, my palate was amazed. Budweiser is not only known for their beer, but if you did not know, they also have a line of sauces and marinades.
While my recipe makes 15 burgers, they keep very well for the next several days. My girls enjoyed having burgers over several lunches. If you want to have fewer burgers for small families, feel free to divide the recipe in HALF. You will love this recipe and it is a great way to cook with your spouse WITHOUT being in the kitchen at the SAME time. I know many of you moms know what I am talking about.
Budweiser's Steak and Burger sauce is very flavorful. It contains their lager beer in addition to many other spices and ingredients. I added my burger sauce directly to my ground beef to create a most juicy burger. Not only that, but a little on a toasted bun really finished my burger recipe. It paired well with my caramelized mushrooms and onions.
Make sure to check Budweiser sauces and marinades on their website and social media platforms.
Make sure that you get a chance to make burgers before the summer is over. Make my recipe and then tag me using @singerinkitchen or #singerinkitchen over social media. Make this with ground turkey or chicken for those who do not like eating beef.
In a large bowl, place the ground beef with spices and Budweiser Burger and steak sauce. Mix really well and let the meat sit for about 30 minutes to an hour in the fridge. It is even better if done the night before to let all the flavors come together.
When ready to grill, form into 15 1/3-pound burgers. Set aside and get grill ready. Cook burgers for 5 minutes, flipping burgers in between. Add the Gouda slice of cheese to each burger allowing burger to cook an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, heat a non-stick pan and add olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms next and lower heat to medium and cook mushrooms and onions for 10 minutes allowing the onions to caramelize.
Add 1/2 Tablespoon of mayonnaise to the ea h slice of bread and grill for a minute to get a little toasty.
Add a burger patty to the bottom half of the hamburger bun then add 1/4 cup of the caramelized mushrooms and onion. Then add 1 Tablespoon of Budweiser Burger and Steak Sauce on top of the mushroom and onions and top with the top half of the hamburger bun.


I needed fruit. I may have had just a handful of days continually consuming of coffee and beer and eating mainly carbs and fried stuff, but I felt like my insides were turning gelatinous.
After healing my body with pink grapefruit, I left my Ghent hotel and went to get the train to move onto Bruges. In typical fashion I got myself horrifically lost and ended up the other side of the city in the university district. Luckily such a place comes with a fair amount of interesting record shops which took my mind off the searing heat and my sweat-laden back long enough to find find the station and jump on a train (not a double-decker – really what's the point?).
This time I was spared any further hopeless wonderings in a new city as the walk from Bruges station to the Markt is a straight one and my hotel (Hotel Marcel) was just off a side street from there.
I was on the search for the Brugs Beertje bar I had read about and wanted to sample first. Unknowing to me, I'd actually walked past it a couple times. Unfortunately it was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (the two days I was in the city) so, disappointed and getting increasingly thirsty, I just found the nearest establishment that sold something wet.
It was here at a random and very expensive bar behind the Markt that I sampled my first Bruges Zot – the flagship beer of the city. To be honest I wasn't overly enamoured, but the quench outweighed any other feelings I had towards it first time around. My second time would be unfiltered, in the brewery the next day and my thoughts would change dramatically. I then went on to a couple of bars not far from the hotel, including Cafe De Kuppe where I ordered a bottle of Vedett IPA which hadn't long been released.
I'm an IPA fan boy so after the first bottle soon disappeared I was eager to order another and really make sense of what was going on. 'IPA, but not really from India and not really a pale ale' is adorned across the label and I guess it kind of fit the bill. I'm not sure it would quite hold its own against the bigger IPAs out there and the absence of a significant amount of bolshie, kick-to-your-groin bitterness probably lets it down, but having predominantly drank relatively strong, dark Belgian beers over the past few days, a light-ish beer with a bit of a hoppy, fruity punch went down like a funnel.
I went for a few more beers throughout the night, shamelessly revisiting the Duvel Triple Hop on a couple of occasions when I should have probably been sampling others – I swear it tastes more like liquid nectar the more you drink.
Ravenous from having hardly eaten since breakfast and with a fair few beers in me I was once again eager to fill my stomach with a bounty of carb-loaded delicacies. Pretty much everywhere offers Flemish stew (carbonnades flamande) and frites. I guess it's only their version of chips and gravy, but after a few beers, close your eyes and the tender chunks of beef floating in thick brown liquor, poured over potatoes tastes almost Michelin star. I said almost.

Over recent years the phenomenon of international outsourcing has provoked a considerable amount of public concern and anxiety. Despite the advocated benefits in terms of efficiency gains, the prevalent view appears to be that international outsourcing severely threatens domestic jobs and wages, in particular for low-skilled workers. However, this view is mainly fuelled by anecdotal evidence since, despite the strong public interest, academic research which analyses the phenomenon of outsourcing empirically is only in its infancy. Also, from a theoretical point of view, the effects of international outsourcing on the labour market outcomes for low-skilled workers seem to be ambiguous.
