Recalibrating Readiness and Instruction Based on Strengths of English Learners – Implications for Early Childhood Education Research and Practice
• by Abelardo Villarreal, Ph.D. • IDRA Newsletter • April 2015 •
Much of the current research on early education of poor and minority children – although well intentioned – is biased and focused on family and children's deficits and maladaptations as the causes for the lack of academic readiness and underperformance of a significant number of children in this country (Cabrera 2013; Robledo Montecel, et al., 1993).
Research is remiss in studying the effects of educational policies and practices that are detrimental to the performance of a large segment of the student population, primarily minority children, students from low-income families and English language learners. When schools use this research to inform interventions, they consequently fall short of creating an optimal learning environment for children and neglect to foster their intellectual and social well-being.
Cabrera explains that this deficit-oriented research overly emphasizes the "negative effects of inadequate economic and social resources and an elevated rate of behavior problems, decreased social competence, and lower rates of school success among these children" (2013).
The research needs a new asset-based approach to poor and minority children and their families. Schools should acknowledge these assets in their plans for a quality educational program and other interventions that lead to children's optimal academic and social growth. In this article, we emphasize the need to redefine readiness to integrate the strengths bilingual children bring to the classroom, and detail the need to adjust instruction to enhance their academic engagement and performance.
For example, efforts to improve children's readiness for school have profound implications for the quality of education that can be afforded in programs like Head Start, that cumulatively serve millions of children ages birth to 5, a student population that is projected to grow significantly. A report by the Office of Head Start at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reveals that, in the 2012-13 school year, 30 percent of participants were from families that primarily spoke a language other than English at home. Twenty-five percent of participants were from families that primarily spoke Spanish at home (Office of Head Start, 2014).
What Research Says about Bilingualism that Must Be Addressed in Curricular and Instructional Decisions
Learning and transfer of knowledge refer to key processes in education that are manifested in the teaching process and become integral parts of an instructional plan. Learning refers to a knowledge-building process, while transfer involves using pre-existing knowledge in new contexts. Research on the effects of bilingualism reveals that a child's ability to learn and transfer knowledge is enhanced when it is factored into the instruction (Zelasko & Antunez, 2000). In particular, these findings on the benefits of bilingualism generally have an impact on our understanding of language acquisition and learning processes that include phonological processing, syntactical awareness, working memory, morphological awareness, semantic processing and application.
Pedagogically speaking, the cognitive and social benefits of being bilingual represent a set of strengths that curriculum coordinators and teachers should factor into the teaching and learning processes. An effective teacher will build on these cognitive and social strengths when planning and delivering instruction first, by assessing the level of bilingualism that children bring to the classroom and plan accordingly to ensure greater engagement of these children in the learning process. A caveat, however, to be considered in making instructional decisions is that research findings also reveal that the level of bilingualism affects the quality of these cognitive and social benefits (Zelasko & Antunez, 2000).
Implications for Further Research
With the knowledge that already exists about the benefits of bilingualism and the cognitive processes of language acquisition and learning, the next step is to identify and commit to research the impact that these benefits have on the instructional process. The identification of the research question to be addressed may be based on an informed decision or inference about the potential positive impact that a finding (disposition to challenges, cognitive flexibility for complex tasks, greater receptivity and adaptability, etc.) can have on the teaching of learning objectives. In this case, how do findings on the benefits of bilingualism affect the teaching of critical learning objectives whose cognitive processes could be enhanced by a child's level of bilingualism.
The instructional implications are many and range from timing of the learning objective (when), delivery mode (how as it relates to delivery of instruction in a cultural and linguistic context), length of instructional time and assessment strategies. Research must focus on studying these inferences and supplying teachers with research-based strategies that build on the cognitive and social benefits of being bilingual.
Key learning objectives that will be positively affected by five major findings on the benefits of bilingualism have been identified for further study. The table above delineates the five major findings and the learning objectives identified from Head Start competencies and, for example, the Texas standards (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills).
Research on bilingualism is a work in progress and continues to provide valuable insights into its cognitive and social benefits. We, as educators, must be aware of these advantages and integrate them into our instructional practice. The need for pedagogical research that focuses on children's strengths and for teachers to conduct action research are in greater demand now than ever. In an upcoming issue of the IDRA Newsletter, we will address other assets and strengths that bilingual children, in particular, bring to school.
Positive Relationship between Research Findings on Bilingualism and Selected Learning Objectives
Selected Research Findings

Homeless in Western States Can't Be Prosecuted for Sleeping on Streets
By Lisa M. Schaffer, Esq. on September 06, 2018 3:47 PM
Outlawing the criminalization of homelessness just got a little clearer in the Western United States. A Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it is unconstitutional to prosecute someone for sleeping on public streets, at least for the most part. More on that later.
Cruel and Unusual to Criminalize the Unavoidable Consequence of Being Homeless
The Court of Appeals sided with the Boise, Idaho homeless residents, holding that prosecuting homeless people for sleeping on public streets when they had no other viable indoor choices violates a person's Eighth Amendment.
This constitutional protection limits three things: the type of punishment the government can impose, the proportion of the punishment to the crime, and what the government can criminalize. As Judge Marsha Berson stated, "...just as the state may not criminalize the state of being 'homeless in public places,' the state may not 'criminalize conduct that is an unavoidable consequence of being homeless -- namely sitting, lying, or sleeping on the streets." Doing so, the court declared, was cruel and unusual punishment.
But What If Sleeping Outside IS Avoidable?
In this case, the justices were ruling on whether it was criminal to sleep in public places when no other indoor bed was available. In the night in question, there were beds available in nearby homeless shelters, but those beds weren't available to every single homeless person that night. Boise has a law, like most cities, that a person can only spend a certain amount of nights per period in a shelter. Also, two of the three shelters that had beds that night required a religious commitment. "A city cannot, via the threat of prosecution, coerce an individual to attend religion-based treatment programs," wrote Judge Marsha Berzon.
If there isn't a truly viable option for sleeping indoors, the government can't criminalize homeless people for sleeping outdoors. However, the court didn't specify how someone might determine if there was indeed a bed available for a particular homeless person prior to issuing a citation. That would always have to be done on a case-by-case basis. Perhaps that burden would be too much for an officer or other government official to bear, and not worth the effort.
If you or a loved one are homeless, and are having difficulty dealing with any branch of the legal system, consider contacting a local criminal defense attorney, who can listen to your situation, and get you the legal help you need.

Relaxer to get you into a more peaceful mood. A more relaxed state gives you improved health and happiness!
Do you want to Reduce Tension and Feel Happier?
then the "RELAXER" might be your ANSWER!
Using Subliminal Alpha Meditation, the "Relaxer" will de-Stress and Heal your Brain, Body, and Spirit!
The Relaxer is an Electronic Scalar Energy Generator to stimulate your brain to get into "Alpha Relaxation State"
Get the Relaxer™ and you too can have Reduced Stress and achieve a Healthier more Relaxed Lifestyle !
The QuWave Relaxer is an electronic Stress Reducing device which produces Scalar Waves at Brain Frequencies to promote the brain to get more into the Alpha State. It acts like a tuning fork to get your brain to generate more Alpha Waves to get you into a more peaceful mood. A more relaxed state gives you improved health and happiness!
What does the Relaxer™ do?
The QuWave Relaxer puts your mind into an alpha-meditative state. It does this by generating Scalar Waves combined with Solfeggio Frequencies tuned to stimulate specific Chakra & Energy centers of your body. We have discovered the Solfeggio Frequencies which energize your Chakras and the Brain to help your mind and body to go into a more relaxed.
The principle behind this product is to deliver these Chakra Solfeggio Frequencies directly to your brain by introducing them with Scalar Waves. This way you don't even have to listen to the sounds since they are subliminal and will affect your system faster and act more powerfully.
Recent studies prove that the Solfeggio Frequencies are part of a process that can assist you in manifesting a life of your dream without stress, illness, and sickness. We have been conditioned since childhood about the mechanisms of physics. We have been taught to believe that matter is all there is. We have believed we are nothing more than the five senses --- But there is so much more to the universe. Now is the time to recondition your Mind and Chakras to a new level of positive Energy.
The "Relaxer" generates Scalar Waves with two Brain Activation Frequencies for Stress Relief Alpha Meditation !!!
How does the Relaxer influence brain waves?
1. High frequency mega-hertz Scalar Wave.
These frequencies are assimilated by the brain via the "tuning-fork" principle to get your brain more in tune with the relaxation alpha meditation state.
How does this product achieve results?
The Relaxer generates two types of Alpha Brain Waves. Basically, these waves act like a tuning fork to make your brain waves vibrate sympathetically with the frequencies produced by the Relaxer. These frequencies make your brain more relaxed, and make it easier for it to enter sleep and continue to deeper more relaxed sleep.
In the past, there was no easy way to get your brain to get into the lower frequency Alpha states, because the frequencies associated with these states are very low, and too low for humans to be able to hear them. The only way one could get the effect of tuning to these brain waves, was through what is called "Binaural Beats". Binaural Beats consists of listening to two frequencies on a headphone, where the difference in the frequencies is the sound you want to hear. For example, if you wanted to stimulate the Alpha frequency of 11Hz, you would listen to a beat of 400Hz in the left ear, and 411Hz in your right ear. Somewhere within these sounds, your brain might pick-up the difference 411-400=11Hz. Along comes the QuWave Scalar Technology which directly beams these low frequency Alpha waves, directly to your brain via a Scalar Carrier Wave. The way this works, is that a very high frequency wave is encoded (modulated) with the low frequency waves, and your brain is able to directly respond to the low frequency waves because it is able to pick them out, or "hear them subconsciously".
The brain is a electromagnetic device, with a mix of chemistry and physics. Our brain pulses and vibrates like everything in the Universe. The brain pulse is measured like sound in cycles per second or Hertz. The machine used to measure brain waves is called an Electroencephalograph (EEG). EEG measurements have found that the brain creates electromagnetic waves in four distinct frequency bands.
Brain waves have been rigorously researched since they were first discovered early in the twentieth century. They are categorized in 4 categories: Delta, Theta, Alpha, and Beta. During a day we experience all the brainwave patterns with a predominance of Beta.
To feel relaxed, we need to get the brain more into the Alpha State. Alpha Brain Waves were the first brainwave group to be discovered. The alpha brain wave rhythm produces the most positive benefits for relaxation. As we start to relax we become a bit sleepy, but still remain awake and conscious, we enter the alpha level at 8 - 12 Hz. This produces a deep relaxation state between sleep and waking, where we are totally relaxed yet focused. The Relaxer™ helps the brain to generate more of these special frequencies, thus producing easier, longer, and deeper states of relaxation.
Scalar Waves produce a secondary field by motion of subatomic particles interacting with Human Aura and are able to be perceived by the human brain. These waves can travel far faster than the speed of light and encode the information of space and time into a timeless, space-less quantum of interference patterns. They can directly interact with your brain energy producing amazing beneficial results. QuWave Products generate these Scalar Waves combined with other specific Frequencies to stimulate your brain and to produce specific results.
So far, the only way to experience the benefits of the low frequency waves was through sound waves - you would need to listen to these musical tones constantly. And since these frequencies are too low to hear with the human ear, you would need to use Binaural beats which don't work for everyone. This was very limiting because the exposure time was low and required your devoted concentration. Through extensive research and by applying our proprietary engineering technology, we have discovered how to deliver these stimulating frequency waves directly into the brain receptors continuously. We have combined our Scalar Wave Technology with Solfeggio and other Low Frequencies and developed a small hand-held device which constantly beams these stimulating frequencies directly into your brain at deep cellular level via your Scalar Bio-Field.
We generate a high frequency Scalar Wave and modulate it with multiple lower frequency brain stimulating signals. This Scalar Wave is at a very high frequency and is able to directly penetrate into the human nervous system. This maximizes delivery of the Low Frequencies directly into the brain and allows continuous subliminal stimulation day and night, anywhere. Thus the benefits of these frequencies are multiplied by hundreds of times over just listening to musical tones for a short period of time.
There are many miracles within us, but they do not manifest, they are hidden behind locked doors. With QuWave Products, you can unlock and open the doors to these hidden powers. The special Brain-Stimulating Frequencies delivered by our products can align you with the rhythms and tones that form the basis of the Universe.
QuWave Products generate a Bio-Field which when exposed to an individual can deeply penetrate at the cellular level into the brain and resonate with natural frequencies of the Brain and the Chakras. Thus they begin to vibrate at their natural frequency and thus are activated and subsequently a connection is established with the Central Nervous System. In other words, the specific Life Energy inside us is awakened and connected with our five senses and we are able to feel beyond the normal sensory perception.
Get the Relaxer™ NOW and Improve your Life !
The Relaxer can also be used for meditation, since it produces Alpha Waves and the "OM" Chant. Both of these are commonly used during relaxation and meditation. This is why we recommend leaving the unit turned ON all the time, as the unit will continuously generate these waves, and you will find that your entire house will be turned into a more relaxing environment.
The QuWave Relaxer is available in two different Models: One is the Personal Relaxer which is portable and battery operated so you can use it wherever you are. The other is a more powerful Tabletop Relaxer which is larger and much more powerful, but it is not portable and needs to be plugged-in all the time to operate. Since the larger Tabletop model is not limited by battery operation, and the antennas can be made much larger in size, it gives off a Scalar energy field which is up to 100 times stronger then the smaller portable model. Many customers purchase the Combination Package at a huge discount which includes both models.
Tabletop has 3 status LEDs.
Both Models use a High Frequency Scalar Wave which is modulated with two low frequency Activation Signals. The Scalar Wave projects the Scalar Field to get thru into the individual. While the two low frequencies provide the actual activation signals to perform the specific functions of the product to infuse the body cells and brain energy field.
The Personal Relaxer is designed to be carried on you or near you all the time. When you receive the unit, all you have to do is charge it and turn it on. It should be left ON all the time to be effective (even when charging). The blinking green light shows that the unit is operating properly. Once a week it will need to be charged, and charging takes about 1-2 hours. The unit generates a protective field which is about 8ft in diameter, but, the closer you are to the unit, the stronger the scalar waves will be, and thus will offer more protection.
For desired results, you need to be within the field of the unit. Carry it in your pocket, purse, briefcase, wear it as a pendant, or place it near you when you work/sleep/relax. Unit comes with a neck-strap lanyard so you can wear it as a pendant, and a protective carrying pouch to protect it when you carry it in a pocket or purse.
The Tabletop Relaxer is part of our newest flagship product to produce a stronger energy field. This uses the same identical principle as the Personal Defender, except that it is much more powerful. It generates a field which is about 100 times stronger then the personal unit. This is possible because we were able to make the unit larger and because we are not limited by having to operate it from a small battery, and instead use an AC adapter to provide the power. We also used four gold-plated conductors for greater efficiency to make more powerful antennas. This model is not portable, and needs to be plugged in all the time to operate.
This model is designed to be placed on a table, shelf, desk, or a night-table. It can also be placed on the floor, or flat for applications like under your bed for nighttime use.
For desired results, you need to be within the field of the unit. The Tabletop Relaxer generates a field in all directions with a diameter of about 100 feet. But, the closer you are to the unit, the more you will be within it's effective field. The unit can be used in a free-standing position and be placed on a desk, table, shelf, or on a night table. The feet can be removed and the unit can be used in a flat position and for example be placed under a bed, sofa or chair, or on floor.
This unit has four large unique Mobius-style antennas to generate the Scalar Waves. Each antenna measures 4.25" x 3.5". The antennas use gold-plated conductors for maximum efficiency since gold is the best conductor for scalar applications. The antenna radiates waves in all directions in 360 degrees, so the unit can be placed in any orientation.
Directions - how to use the "Relaxer"
This unit is designed to be carried on you or be near you to produce the desired results. When you receive the unit, all you have to do is charge it and turn it on. It should be left ON all the time to be effective (even when charging). The blinking green light shows that the unit is operating properly. Once a week it will need to be charged, and charging takes about 1-2 hours. The LED will be Red while it is charging. The only time you need to turn the unit OFF is if you go on an airplane (and the pilot instructs you to turn off all electronic equipment), or when you ship the unit via mail.
The unit generates a field which is about 5-10ft in diameter, but, the closer you are to the unit, the stronger the scalar waves will be, and thus the positive effects will be stronger. For desired results, you need to be within the field of the unit.
This product is most effective if you have it right on you when you relax or meditate. Many customers place the unit next to their favorite easy-chair where they rest, or where they sit to unwind and de-stress.
The personal model can also provide continuous stimulation to keep your stress under control. You can always carry it in your pocket, purse, briefcase, wear it as a pendant, or on your belt or just place it near you when you work/sleep/relax. Unit comes with a neck-strap lanyard so you can wear it as a pendant, and a protective carrying pouch to protect it when you carry it in a pocket, purse, or briefcase. Many customers wear the unit in a pocket or clip it on a belt holder. You will find that many cell phone belt clip-on cases will fit this unit very well.
You can also place the unit in your home, near the bed seems to work wonders, just place it on the night-table, under the bed, or even under the pillow. This way you will be exposed to the powerful waves as you sleep every day.
In order to achieve the proper tuning fork effect to stimulate your brain so that it goes into the Alpha State, you need to be close to the unit, optimally within 5ft.
The Tabletop model is designed to be placed stationary like a photo frame and always be plugged into an AC outlet. It is recommended that this model be placed close to where you usually meditate or where you relax. Many customers place the unit on a shelf or a table in their rec-room, living room, sitting room, or home-gym. The closer it is to where you spend your relaxation time, the more effective it will be in having the scalar field interact with your body.
What is the difference between QuWave Amore and other QuWave products?
QuWave products, generate Scalar Waves combined (modulated) with Solfeggio frequencies. Different products have different frequencies to achieve specific results. The "Amore" uses 528Hz & 639Hz frequencies. These specific frequencies generate Solfeggio Frequencies which directly stimulate the Third and Fourth Chakras. Our other products use different frequencies to produce other desired results by stimulating other energy centers of the body.
Can one misuse spiritual power which users attain with QuWave Products?
No. The universe operates within perfect laws. One law is "What you give, you get". So even if someone intends to harm another, he will have put himself in negative vibration first. And eventually that vibration would affect him/her negatively.
Should I stop using your products once I have reached the desired effect?
You should only do so if you are no longer exposed to negative people, sedentary lifestyle, junk foods and TV/newspapers, etc. We highly recommend you to continue using it. You will experience progressive and more significant improvement with continuous usage of the product.
Get maximum protection in your home and everywhere you go.

Second time blooming for me. The first photo was taken outside with difficulty as we had wind gust today of 25mph so the second shot was taken indoors in my little studio setup.
zainal abidin, catttan, ksriramkumar and 5 others like this.
Both pictures are good, is this a species? It resembeles bulbo. Medusae, I love bulbos!! Is it fragrant?
Wow. beautiful hybrid and awesome pictures.
No this is a hybrid. I have no clue as to fragrant or not, with my sinuses it is hard to tell!
Nice blooming! I have the same hybrid, but the flowers are paler than your plant. This hybrid is lepidum x medusae, which makes the flowers less messy than medusae (opens in 1 plane like the lepidum parent, not a mess of bunched tentacles), and also more free-flowering, courtesy of the lepidum parent.
JDT and ksriramkumar like this.
Looks like scorpion at one corner.......so cool.
Thanks Li for the parentage. I also have the medusa but I think I like this one better for the same reason as you state!


Is borrowing from a 401K a good idea?
Have you refinanced your home into oblivion? Tapped out every available money resource with a myriad of loans and credit cards? There is one last option: borrowing from your 401(k). If you've never heard of this option, it's because until recently, it just wasn't done that frequently. But with the market still not fully recovered, and people desiring to cut their high interest debt, more folks are discovering this alternative lending source.
Before you go off half-cocked, it is crucial that you understand the pros and cons. Don't forget that your 401(k) is your retirement nest egg, and you are putting that nest egg into possible jeopardy. If you're thinking of borrowing from your 401(k) to buy a luxury automobile or a larger home, stop. Mortgaging your future to live a lifestyle that's beyond your income, while it's become the American Way, is a mistake. But if you're trying to get out from under high-interest debt and plan to use this opportunity to live within your income, it could be your ticket to becoming debt-free.
Here's how they work: most plans allow you to borrow up to half of your vested balance, but not more than $50,000. You apply to the company that manages your 401(k) plan, but you don't have to "qualify"—after all, you're borrowing money from yourself. You sign a promissory note and receive the money within a couple of weeks. The interest rate is usually equal to the prime rate or slightly over, so currently you'd pay 3-4 percent interest. You then have five years to repay the loan, and most of the time, you make payments through payroll deductions.
l A 401(k) loan does not appear on your credit report. They are not reported to Experian, and do not become a part of your credit history.
l You'll get your money more quickly than if you were using another means of borrowing.
l You don't have to qualify for the loan through the usual long, painful credit approval process, because in effect, you are the lender.
l The biggest con is that you are forfeiting the accrued interest you would earn if your money stayed in the 401(k). Calculated over the long term, it can cost tens (even hundreds) of thousands of dollars in potential gain.
l Unlike a home equity loan, the interest is not tax deductible.
l If you default on the loan, it is considered a withdrawal and you will owe a 10 percent penalty plus a hefty tax payment. So if you had borrowed $50,000 and couldn't pay it back, you would have to pay a $5,000 penalty and federal and state taxes that could take another $20,000 of the amount.
To calculate the actual cost of borrowing from either source: for a home equity loan, ignoring upfront costs, the after-tax cost is the interest rate minus your tax savings (interest rate times 1 minus your tax rate).
The cost of borrowing from your 401(k) is what your loan would have earned had you kept the money in the 401(k). Since your 401(k) accumulates tax free, the total return on the fund is a close approximation of the after-tax cost.
Let's say you need to borrow $10,000 and you have $100,000 in your 401(k) earning an average of 10 percent a year. Interest on a home equity loan is 8.5 percent and you are in the 28 percent tax bracket. The after-tax cost of the home equity loan is 8.5x(1 - .28) or 6.12 percent. The 10 percent cost of borrowing from the 401(k) is higher than the 6.12 percent cost of the home equity loan.
If both loans are repaid in full after one year: if you use a home equity loan, you will have $110,000 in your 401(k), you've paid the lender $10,850 in interest and you have a tax savings of $238. Your financial wealth will therefore be $110,000 - $10,850 +$238 = $99,388.
If you borrow from the 401(k), you will have only $99,000 in your 401(k) at the end of the year because you haven't earned the 10 percent on the $10,000 you borrowed. Whatever you pay back to the fund does not affect your wealth. You are thus $388 poorer if you borrow from your 401(k).
If you have questions, contact your financial planner, or contact me and I'll be happy to refer you to a good one.

Facing Discrimination In A Hospital At The Height of the AIDS Crisis.
I'm Doug Rice, I'm from Rochester, New York. Robert and I met in 1983 at a record store
I was working at. He came in as a customer and I'd just gone
to a Talking Heads concert because I was really into them and he was at the same concert. But we didn't know it but he saw my t-shirt
so we start talking. We started seeing each other and moved in
fairly quickly. After about a year in Rochester, I was young,
22 maybe, and just wanted to start my career in sound engineering. I was mixing sound for bands and things, and
I wanted to come to New York and learn how to do it really. And so I did, and Robert moved down also. We moved to Williamsburg because I could still
run fast and you had to run fast back in those days. And life was good. The 80s was a rough time for a lot of people
in our community and by the late 80s Robert had contracted HIV. And you know this is before, the only thing
around was whatever that first horrible treatment was. So periodically we'd end up in the emergency
room, go to St. Vincent's right in the middle of, right by Christopher Street there, probably
the gay-friendliest hospital around. We go to the emergency room, go and see the
triage doctor. I'm sitting with Robert and at that point
he had AIDS Dementia Complex which is kind of like Alzheimer's. I don't think it happens much anymore with
the medicines that are around but it's part of the natural progression for a number of
AIDS patients back in the day. And if anyone, if you've ever cared for an
Alzheimer's patient, it's a little bit of a ride. In any case, so we're down for I don't know
what the emergency was but we were at the Emergency Room for whatever was happening
that weekend, and went into the triage with the doctor and the doctor's interviewing
Robert, "Do you have a history of this, a history of that, this?" And, you know, Robert had dementia and he
was, I don't know if he was making things up but he wasn't accurately representing his
history in a way that could hurt him and of course I'm his lover and I really want him
to be treated properly. And so I start correcting him to the doctor
and the doctor looks at me and goes, "Who are you?" And I'm like, "Well I'm his boyfriend." And he's like, "Well, are you related
by blood?" And I was like, "No." He was like, "Then you have to leave." And he called security and had me escorted
out. He continued to interview Robert and treat
him based on his dementia-enhanced history. And that sucked. I don't remember how it ended. We got through that afternoon and the next
day I could speak with his Primary Care Physician and everything got back on track, so you know,
it was a one day little hiccup. So there was no major repercussions but other
than that scariness of a) getting thrown out of the freaking hospital for helping. That wasn't that uncommon. There were sometimes I would spend the night
in the hospital and sleep next to Robert in his bed, and other nights at eight o'clock
the nurse would come in and say, "Get the Hell out of here, who are you?" depending on the compassion of the nurse. And that's what happens when you leave decisions
like that up to the whim of whoever's working that night. I don't think people realize how fucked up
everyone is. I mean, you know, you go to the hospital for
help. You have someone with dementia giving a history
and you have a doctor who, I believe, clearly saw it was dementia and he didn't want to
deal with the faggot in the room. I think the takeaway here isn't that this
has changed. I mean the world has changed, some areas have
changed, but I can guarantee you any place that allows choices by individuals that aren't
following some sort of protocol like Kim Davis, there's a lot of situations where individuals
wield a lot of power and if those individuals are willing to abuse their power for whatever
reason it can seriously impact your health. When you're alone in a room with a doctor
or a nurse practitioner, if that nurse practitioner doesn't like something about you and also
doesn't take her medical license seriously enough to actually treat you rather than judge
you, I'm sure that happens every day all over America. It's still happening in New York I bet,
but less or at least less for gays. I guarantee it's happening a lot to someone.

Eric King says:
"Treat you rather than judge you". And they have the nerve to call themselves medical "professionals". That "hiccup" was fucked up.
cx45830 says:
I hate the fact that you can't be with someone in hospital if you're not related to them. I guess that's where marriage or something comes in useful because in that way, you are related, but you should be able to be with them in any case.
MsSoundguy says:
Doug…First, I love your shirt. Second, despite my name, I'm male (a YouTube problem years ago) and had a somewhat similar experience. My partner's mother died and we rushed a two hour drive to the hospital in Philly. He was about to be taken to the morgue to see her body and he wanted me to go with him. It was a Catholic hospital and the nurse refused to let me go with him. Now, this is about 4 hours after his mother died and we have to fight a nun who will not give in. My partner got into a shouting match with her, the noise brought an administrator who, at least, wasn't dressed like a nun. She tried to calm him down but would not let me accompany him. (We'd been together around 20+ years by then.) That didn't calm him down and it got me started, too. All four of us were yelling and passers-by were listening. The second administrator understood how not-good this looked and finally allowed me to go with him. Meanwhile, here near the edge of the earth, we have never had a problem with the doctors or nurses at our local med center. The differences between a big city religion-based hospital and a no-name hospital in the sticks appear to be human-centered, as you said. Thanks for that. And did I mention I love your shirt?
GAY JESUS says:
Shocking, depressing and moving, but not terribly surprising ( sadly ). Thanks for sharing. I have faced homophobia in the U.K. NHS myself, so I guess it's still a big problem in many places.
John Di Francisco says:
I applaud you for saying what you said. I and everyone I know go to doctors with explicate trust. A lot of them are ass holes and are lives are in their hands. You really have to look out for yourselves and educate yourselves at least to some degree. Doctors and Nurses are not the end all and be all. They are just people with jobs.
Twin Nems says:
Doug Rice is my dream boyfriend
Ali Gaines says:
Somehow I missed this and just saw it. Hold on, are you saying St. Vincent's Hospital in the village did that to you? Seriously? Strange, cause I volunteered and watched many of my friends die there from '79 on. These eyes saw nuns give out condoms and these hands fed and groomed many. In fact, later when I was stationed in California, I knew many who became huge in the community re: activism (artists/actors/singers/big shots, that insisted they go back to St. V's for their last days. They took people when Bellevue, the city hospital didn't take them due to not knowing at the time what they were dealing with and how it spread. They fought for the blood tests and other rights… and guess what, if you didn't have a dime, they took you… another reason why they're closed. Strange… stories like this caused the young ones, that didn't know their history, how GMHC started, that Arch. of NY O'Connor and Mother Teresa started the first AIDS respite places, protested St. V's… now they're crying because it closed, wondering where they will go now. Just the fact it was close to ground zero should have kept it open, should that area be attacked again, instead of racing across to Bellevue. The kicker, Christine Quinn, first noted lesbian politician, who everyone helped get in… sold all out to real estate for the property. So be real and say it depended on the person. Who, during the crisis and what was known and unknown, let's you sleep in the bed with your lover?… let's be real okay and not slap the gift horse in the mouth. Also, look, we all know the legal documentation stage we didn't get to until recent years. As far as they know, you could have drugged him or anything, they have to protect themselves as well. I think our problem back then is we wanted what we wanted right now, regardless of anything or anybody else … Rightfully upset as the public thought 'well you got yourself into that situation, you deserve it'. I'm glad the community pushes to get the kids… and adults to get tested, maintain and be less reckless than we were. I'm just sad this will be the takeaway everyone gets of this hospital that helped so many.

In this dazzling opener to a new fantasy series that Danielle Page, author of Dorothy Must Die, calls "inventive, gorgeous, and epic," a girl caught between two ancient peoples must struggle to find the legendary magic that will end the conflict between them.
Beneath the streets of New York City live the Avicen, an ancient race of people with feathers for hair and magic running through their veins. Age-old enchantments keep them hidden from all but one human: Echo, a runaway pickpocket who survives by selling stolen treasures on the black market.
The Avicen are the only family Echo has ever known, so when a centuries-old war crests on the borders of her home, she decides it's time to act. Legend has it that to end the conflict once and for all, Echo must find the firebird, a mythical entity believed to possess power the likes of which the world has never seen. It will be no easy task, though if life as a thief has taught Echo anything, it's how to hunt down what she wants . . . and how to take it.

On the night of January the fourth, a dash-cam caught the shocking moment when a car ran a red traffic light before colliding with a truck at an intersection in Thailand's city of Lampang. The accident resulted in the 17 year old car driver, Pichai Duangsaengthong, suffering serious head and facial injuries. Witnesses said the car was apparently making a turn to enter a university but he failed to stop at the red light. He was sent to the local hospital and police are investigating the incident.

The Masonic Female Orphan School of Ireland was a Masonic school in Dublin, Ireland.  The school was instituted in 1792, with the aim of maintaining the daughters of indigent Freemasons, unable through death, illness, or incapacitation to support their families.

History
In 1788 Bartholomew Ruspini and nine fellow Freemasons met in London to discuss plans for establishing a charitable institution for the daughters of Masons who had fallen on hard times or whose death had meant hardship for their families. In 1790 several Irish Brethren met together and made themselves responsible for the school fees for girls. In 1792, a small house, affording accommodation for twenty girls, was taken in Dublin where the pupils were boarded, clothed and educated until such time as they could earn their own living.

The children had to be between the ages of six and ten and retained until they reached the age of fifteen and had to be the daughters of freemasons. At the end of their school life, girls were either returned to their family or supporters (known as Friends) or apprenticed and supported until they could establish themselves.

In 1852, after several removals, Burlington House in Burlington Place, Ballsbridge, was opened. The original architect was George Papworth. Extensive alterations were carried out by John McCurdy in 1861. An impressive newly built school was opened in 1881.

Bazaars and fairs were held to provide funds for the school. On 16 May 1892 the Masonic Centenary five-day Bazaar opened at the Royal Dublin Society grounds, adjacent to the school. The opening was presided over by the Grand Master, the Duke of Abercorn. Among the highlights were reconstructions of historic Dublin buildings, a human chess game, and landscaped gardens. Some 96,000 passed through the turnstiles over the five days. A profit of over £21,690 was made from the 50 stalls and turnstile tickets.

In the present day, the school building houses the Clayton Hotel.

The number of Eastern Europeans working in the UK has surged since the EU referendum vote amid concerns that migrants will be barred from entering after Brexit.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the number of migrants born in Eastern Europe employed in Britain rose by 49,000 between July and September to 1,077,000.
The figures show that the overall number of people born overseas working in the UK increased by 430,000 to 5.55m in the past year. The number of UK-born people working in Britain increased by 36,000 in the same period, meaning that people born outside the UK accounted for more than nine in ten of the new workers.
Over the same period, the number of UK nationals in work - which includes many people born outside the UK - rose by 213,000 to 28.3 million, pushing the unemployment rate to a 10-year low despite "project fear" warnings that a vote to leave the EU would cost jobs.
However, the number of working migrants born in Western Europe fell for the first time in two years, from 992,000 to 962,000.
The increase in the number of foreign workers employed in the UK since the vote to leave has led to claims of an "influx" of migrants seeking to find a job in Britain before rules around living and working in the country change.
Lord Green of Deddington, chairman of Migration Watch UK said: "This is yet another large increase in the labour force driven by an increase in foreign workers.
"That increase amounts to just over a million in three years. In the last year, just over half came from the EU, including 150,000 from Eastern Europe.
"This continuing influx helps explain why the British people voted for Brexit and is a sharp reminder that the forthcoming negotiations must get these numbers down."
The ONS figures show the number of non-UK nationals working in the UK has risen by almost a million since 1997, with the proportion increasing from 3.7 per cent to 10.9 per cent.
There were 2.3 million EU nationals working in the UK in the latest quarter, up by 232,000 on a year ago, but lower than the increase on the previous year.
Overall the unemployment rate in the UK hit a 10-year low but the researchers suggested the job market may be "cooling" overall.
There were 37,000 fewer people out of work in the quarter to September with 1.6 million people unemployed, the lowest number since 2006.

The number of people in work has jumped by 461,000 over the past year to a near-record high of just under 32 million.
The employment rate of 74.5 per cent is the highest since records began in 1971.
But there are fears that the increase in employment is down to more people becoming self-employed and that these workers often earn less.
Clare McNeil, director for work and families at the Institute For Public Policy Research, a think tank, said: "While this is promising for the economy given the uncertainty following the vote to leave the EU, it is still the case that almost half of the increase in employment compared with the same period last year is due to higher rates of self-employment.
"Almost half of the UK's self-employed are in low pay, measured on an hourly basis, compared with around a fifth of employees.
"While the overall picture in terms of vacancies still looks strong, official statistics cannot tell us what is happening in specific industries or occupations.
"Caution is needed as data from IPPR and Burning Glass shows that there was a significant slump in vacancies in the finance sector between May/June to July/August, with a 13.6 per cent drop in vacancies in the finance sector in London, and a 10 per cent drop in England as a whole."

Every patient is asked to sign a consent form prior to any procedure or operation. This would be following a full and detailed discussion about the risks and complications of the procedure for that patient. This discussion may occur during a consultation session to allow reflection by the patient on the information given about the procedure or operation. Mr Chapple fully respects patients' autonomy – their right to decide whether or not to undergo any medical intervention. The patient will have a discussion concerning the natural history (what could happen if no treatment is undertaken). The alternative procedures or operative interventions will also be discussed if appropriate. This is done in accordance with GMC guidelines for Good Medical Practice.
Complications are events that have a chance of happening after any procedure. There are no procedures or operations without risks. Every effort is made to reduce the chance if complications occurring.
If a patient has a pre-existing medical condition it can change the chance of complications occurring. For this reason it is crucial that patients give a full past medical history and details of all medication, prescribed and non prescribed that they are taking and any known or suspected allergies. This should include details of all herbal medicines and supplements.
These are caused by clots of blood forming in the legs – DVT- which may dislodge and travel to the lungs – PE. The process can on very rare occasions be fatal. The rates of thrombo-embolism after spinal surgery are low as patients are given a variety of risk reduction agents. They may be prescribed blood thinning agents, TED stockings, calf pumps and patients are encouraged to mobilize rapidly after surgery. The risks of VTE will always be discussed pre-operatively in detail.
This is a complication which can occur after any procedure making a wound in the skin. Rates of infection are low after spinal surgery at less than 1%. Surgery requiring placement of metal work has a slightly increased rate of 2- 5%. Appropriate antibiotics are given to patients at surgery and afterwards to reduce risk.
All patients for inpatient stays are swabbed at pre-admission for MRSA. In the event of a positive result for MRSA the patient will be contacted and action set in place to eradicate MRSA before admission can take place. This may require liaison with the patient's GP and the microbiology consultant. New Hall Hospital and Salisbury Hospital NHS Trust have an MRSA policy.

Walk #579: A circular walk from Leek, taking in The Roaches
P2003C070268	Hen Cloud. P2003C070271	The view southwestwards towards Tittesworth Reservoir.
County Staffordshire
Start Location Leek Market Street West car park
End Location Leek Market Street West car park
Description This was a lovely walk, taking in The Roaches and the associated edges.
Pack Today I carried my 30-litre Karrimor HotRock rucksack, which was filled with my waterproof leggings, water bottle and a couple of spare shirts, together with the usual assortment of odds and ends.
Condition I had trouble with my right knee from the very beginning of today, and it continued to give me gip all day. It did not get worse until the very end of the walk in Leek, when I started limping slightly from the pain. I am not quite sure what I have done to it, but as it was hurting before I started the walk it must be a legacy of yesterday's walk on Kinder Scout. Aside from this I felt fine, and I have no other problems to report.
Weather Today was sunny with only a few clouds, vastly different to yesterday's overcast skies. Unfortunately one feature it had in common with yesterday was the wind, which was quite fierce and chilly when I was exposed to it. The skies were clear however, and I could see for miles from high points in the land as there was little haze.

After my little walk up Kinder Scout yesterday, I fancied doing a walk a little nearer to home. In the past I have been told that The Roaches, a gritstone edge on the western edge of the Peak District in Staffordshire, is brilliant walking and climbing technology. I had never walked there before despite the fact that it is only half an hour away from home, and so I decide that today's walk would be a circular one taking in The Roaches. Looking at the map I soon realised that in order to make a decent distance I would have to start and end the walk in Leek, and after that decision was made the walk more or less planned itself.
As soon as I got up this morning I realised that I had a problem, as my right knee was aching considerably whenever I bent it. It did not effect my driving, and I arrived in Leek soon after dawn. I was in no hurry to set off, and so I listened to the radio whilst I slowly put my boots and rucksack on. I had not been to Leek for years, and I found that it was not as nice as I remembered it - it seemed quite undistinguished in the early morning light. I found my way out of the town easily, and started heading along footpaths past Tittesworth Lake and on towards the gritstone edges, which glowed in the morning light.
My knee was stiffening up as I walked along, and the walk across the fields was made less pleasant because of this. It was a relief when I reached the road in the village of Upper Hulme, which nestles below Hen Cloud (the first hill in the Roaches range). I decided to bypass Hen Cloud along the road, as I wanted to avoid what looked like a rough walk along the footpath on its flank. The southern end of The Roaches came into sight in no time, and I was pleased to see this it was complete with climbers making their way up a small rock face. This end of The Roaches comprise a series of wild, strewn boulders and cliff faces, a very pleasing view, and I can see why it is so popular amongst climbers, for whilst none of the climbs are particularly high there must be a massive number of routes and climbs of various difficulties.
As soon as I passed Rockhall Cottage (also known as the Don William's Memorial Hut), I climbed up some stone step onto the top of The Roaches and was subjected to the full fury of the cold wind. The views more than made up for the discomfort, and they were extremely expansive. To the west I could easily make out Jodrell Bank (a large radio telescope in Cheshire), and the views in the other directions were also very good. I headed along the footpath along the top of the ridge, which wound around between rock outcrops, before eventually reaching the trig point at the summit. The views from the trig point were brilliant and I really wanted to take a panoramic photograph of them, but the wind was so strong that I did not fancy hanging around and getting chilled.
A quick descent took me down to the road near Bearstone Rock, and I started along the footpath that headed towards Back Forest. On the map the footpath headed along the base of the slope of the escarpment, but fortunately I found a concessionary path that headed right over the top. Although this exposed me to the chilly wind more, it was a far better walk and the views were again superb, and I enjoyed the walk. Another concessionary path took me on to the Hanging Stone, which I did not think was as impressive as the name suggests, and I then headed across fields and woodland to the road at Danebridge, on the Staffordshire / Cheshire border.
When I had planned the walk I was well aware that the western side of this walk was not going to be as nice as the eastern side, and so it proved. It was not a bad walk, however, and although I had some road walking to do these were mostly quiet and short stretches. In particular the descent down a minor road past Bearda led to a lovely little valley and private lake, a lovely spot that was only slightly spoiled by the steep ascent up the other side! The road continued on as far as Gun End, and a footpath then took me on southwards (excepting two very short stretches of road) as far as the farm at Fould.
Fould marked the end of the footpaths on this walk, and the last few miles were along roads, which fortunately were fairly quiet. I passed the pub at Abbey Green, avoiding the strong temptation to nip in for a drink, and made my way down to the A523 road on the outskirts of Leek. Here my right knee started hurting much more, and I found the last mile uphill into the centre of Leek to be quite trying, and I slowed down the pace to make it easier on myself. On the way into town I passed a massive mill on the right, the building, although still in use, looking quite sad and neglected. This set the tone for the last section of the walk, and I was glad when I finally reached the car.
When I got back home I parked my car and started emptying it of all the detritus that had built up over the weekend. However hard I searched, however, I could not locate the map that I had used today. Slowly the realisation dawned on me that I must have left it on the top of the car before I drove off from the car park in Leek. I therefore now find myself minus one map, and although it is annoying it is not the end of the world - the map was coverless and badly ripped, and had already been sellotaped up once already.
This walk starts off from the Market Street West car park in Leek, which is on Market Street opposite York Street. Leave the car park and turn right down Market Street for a few yards until the road ends at a T-junction with Derby Road. At the junction turn left and walk along the road to the roundabout in front of the clock tower. Turn left and walk up the road to a crossroads, and then continue straight on down Ball Haye Road. This passes a park and curves around to head northeastwards. When Tittesworth Avenue is reached turn left and follow it as it curves around to the right; a few yards further on a footpath leads off to the left. Follow this footpath for a few yards and then turn right down another footpath that passes a school before continuing on downhill along a track towards Wardle Barn Farm.
The path continues on a short distance from the farm and reaches a track. Turn left down the track for a few yards and then turn to the right, crossing a little footbridge over a stream before climbing uphill through Oaks Plantation with a field boundary to the left. At the top of the hill the footpath heads to the left through a hedge to the edge of the next field, and then turns to the right to head eastwards. After a few hundred metres the path turns to the left to descend down into a deep gully, before climbing up into fields on the other side. The path then runs northwestwards across a field before turning north across another field and reaching a farm track.
Turn left for a short distance along the track until Troutsdale Farm is reached. Cross a stile beside a gate and then enter the farmyard before turning to the right along another footpath that heads north for a few metres before turning to the right, and then the left to follow a field boundary northwards. Just before Lower Blackshaw Farm is reached the path goes across a hedge to the right, aiming across a field to a little plank bridge over a small stream. Cross the plank bridge and on the other side enter the farmyard and turn to the left to head north with a field boundary on the right. When an area of sparse woodland starts on the right turn right and follow a footpath that heads through and along the woodland before leaving it and turning to head northeastwards and ending at a road.
At the road turn to the left and follow it northwestwards for a few hundred metres until just past the farm at Middle Hulme, where a track called Whitty Lane leads off to the right. Take this track as it heads east-northeastwards, and when it curves sharply to the left continue straight on along a footpath across fields. The footpath diverts to the left around a barn before regaining the original track, and when this plunges down into a farmyard the footpath heads uphill to the left, skirting the edge of the farm before descending down some steps onto a road in Upper Hulme. Turn left and follow this road as it heads northwestwards past Paddock Farm, where it curves to head in a more northerly direction to the west of Hen Cloud.
The road soon curves around to the left once again, and when this bend ends turn to the right into a field, and head diagonally across this field towards a little hut beneath the bluffs of the southern end of The Roaches. Join a track that leads towards the hut at Rockhall (which is partly built into the cliffs above), and then turn to the right up some steps. At the top of the steps turn to the left and head north-northwestwards for a few hundred metres before it climbs up to the right to the very top of the ridge. The footpath along the top of the ridge is very obvious as it heads north-northwestwards, passing a little pond at Doxey Pool, and it eventually reaches the trig point at the summit of The Roaches. Continue on past the trig point and head downhill along the track until it meets a road.
At the road continue straight on and take a footpath that runs northwestwards with a wall to the left. When a junction with a concessionary path is reached continue straight on along the concessionary footpath, which follows the top of the ridge along Back Forest. When this path meets another footpath, turn left for a few yards and then turn right, climbing a stile over a wall and taking a concessionary footpath westwards to the Hanging Stone. From the Hanging Stone a distinct path heads downhill for a short distance until it ends at a track. Turn right along the track and follow it westwards past Hangingstone Farm. Immediately past the farm a footpath leads off to the left and heads southwestwards across a field towards a wooded area.
Follow the path slightly to the left of a little dip in the field, and then go through a stile to the right to enter the wooded area. A footpath leads down to a little plank bridge over a stream and some marshy land, before climbing up through the woodland to the southwest. When the footpath reaches the outskirts of Danebridge head downhill to a road opposite a chapel. Turn left along this road and follow it southwards, passing the entrance gateway to Swythamley Park before descending steeply into a valley near a lake and then climbing up the other side. The road eventually ends at a junction with a larger road next to a post office; here continue straight on for a couple of hundred metres and when the road curves away to the right head straight on uphill along a track.
Follow this track as it heads uphill to the south, and when the track eventually peters continue straight on along a footpath that follows the edge of some woodland before ending at another road. Head straight along this road for a hundred metres, and at a right-hand bend turn left down another footpath that heads southwards for a few hundred metres until it ends at another road. Continue straight on southwards down this road for another few hundred metres, and then take a footpath that runs off to the right along a track. This track heads southeastwards along the edge of The Gun Plantation before heading downhill and ending at a road beside the farm at Fould.
At the road turn right and follow it as it curves to the left to head southeastwards, descending slowly down to Abbey Green. Continue on along the road as it crosses a large stream and ends at the A523 road. Turn left along the A523 road and follow it uphill to the southeast. It passes a large mill and at the top of the hill it curves to the left. When St Edwards's Church is reached turn to the right down another road into the centre of Leek; at some traffic lights turn left and follow this road eastwards to a roundabout beside the clock tower; here turn left down Derby Street and right up Market Street; the car park where this walk ends is a short distance up Market Street on the left.

Staying true to our values
Our CEO and co-founder, Ian Temple, talks more about our company ethos
This article originally appeared on LinkedIn
Finding markets where there is an imbalance of supply and demand is where, as a recruiter, you can add true value. You then build a team with the subject matter knowledge that can solve the recruitment needs of your customers.
But knowing your sector backwards takes a huge amount of investment and time to deliver that much vaunted quality and speed of service. That's why we introduced our digital researcher scheme in 2015 – to focus on building that expertise and extract the most out of all the data we have.
At Hydrogen, we have built a global business by backing people and encouraging them to take ownership of their careers and grow as entrepreneurs.
The foundations and opportunities we have now are as big as ever. We like to say that it's very difficult to join Hydrogen and impossible to leave. While that might be hyperbolic, we're forensically making improvements to all aspects of our business so that our people have the best tools and technology to enable them to spend as much time as possible with our candidates and clients.
Like most companies, we've had our share of ups and downs during the last two decades, but we've remained true to our values in developing our people. Every organisation has a reservoir of talent that's often bottled up so it's our duty to release that potential.
How would I sum up Hydrogen in three words? It would have to be entrepreneurship, innovation and collaboration.

Suicide is preventable. In Connecticut, on average someone dies by suicide every day of the year. The CT Suicide Advisory Board created the One Word, One Voice, One Life – Be the One to start the Conversation awareness campaign to educate CT residents about suicide prevention. Anyone can reach out to someone in crisis and ask the question, "Are you thinking about killing yourself?" It is a myth that asking a person in crisis about suicide will make them think about suicide. Most people experiencing a suicidal crisis are relieved when someone asks the question. Asking the question can reduce the isolation a person in crisis feels and offers hope.


One of probably the most common electrical wiring concerns is regarding how to wire a swap. Whilst utilizing switches in your own home is fairly straightforward, wiring a single may well not be that quick for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You can find several types of switches, but for this instance, let's say you will be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly widespread change (as well as the most straightforward).
You'll find a few colours of wires in a regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them within the terminal screws - one particular on top and the other over the bottom screw from the switch. The white wire serves to be a supply of uninterrupted power and is also generally connected to the mild coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the environmentally friendly wire on the ground screw of your respective swap.
These ways would commonly be ample to produce a standard switch perform without a problem. Nonetheless, in case you are not self-confident that you just can execute the task adequately and safely and securely you better permit the professionals get it done as a substitute. Just after all, you will find a rationale why this process is amongst the most common electrical wiring concerns questioned by most people.
For a few rationale, how to wire a ceiling fan is likewise one among the most frequent electrical wiring queries. To simplify this undertaking, you should utilize one swap to get a single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it is just a issue of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan into the black wire of your change. If there is a light, the blue wire needs to be related to your black wire in the swap at the same time.
You'll find reasons why they're by far the most typically questioned electrical wiring concerns. A person, numerous consider it is really basic to accomplish, and two, they are the popular electrical duties at your house. But then you certainly must not put your basic safety in danger within your purpose to save cash. The stakes could even be a great deal bigger for those who make an effort to spend less and do an electrical wiring task without sufficient know-how or practical experience.
