Now lets assume that you have an environment where that question can be answered honestly and without repercussion; what do you think that they would actually say and what would you hope that they would say?
In short, until those two things are close enough to each other and without their answer being some kind of meaningless verbatim then you have a problem. In your capacity as dental business leader, you still have work to do. When you think about it, if there is an incongruence between what you know your business is really about and what your team think it's about then no amount of training, team building days, parties, telling, screaming, shouting or regulation is going to change anything.
In other words "the way we do things around here" should be valued, understood and applied every day and by every member of your team and without exception. "The way we do things around here" should be at the heart of how you recruit, retain and develop your team. And yet "The way we do things around here" cannot be forced upon anybody, it has to resonate with your team and your team need to understand that this is an intrinsic part of working for you, just as much as maintaining professional registration and professional standards are.
The irony of this, is that in a profession where more and more regulation is being applied by external bodies and with so many aspects of dentistry being highly regulated and governed (to the point that I know some dentists are actually getting scared of doing dentistry) that so much of a dental business is left to chance. The soft skills aren't regulated because bedside manner cannot be taught, it has to come from within and needs to be identified as part of your recruitment and retention strategy. Add in the fact that you probably spend most of your day in your surgery with your door closed, and at best you are left to lead your business most of the time by remote control, not with a blunt stick. If you are leading your business by remote control then it highlights just how important "the way we do things around here" is.
The circumstances around dentistry are not unique but they are exceptional. Regulated professions rely not just on the regulator coming up with a suitable framework but also that history has proven that you cannot practically regulate every eventuality, so the regulators cannot rely upon a blunt stick for everything. Some professions are going through this right now. Being a responsible lender, financial planner or reseller of insurance products for example are nowadays so wrapped up in process and cooling off periods, that it's hard sometimes to remember why these professions exist in the first place. What happened to just doing the very best that we can and helping our customers; was a blunt stick always required? I'll suggest that what's happened is that the purpose of these businesses have become eroded by amongst other things, regulation, targets, KPI's, performance related pay and bonuses, fuelled by a few protagonists with poor values who push the limits of what they can get away with. And the answer from the regulators; even more regulation! As the gap between what the regulators expect and how the profession applies common sense, good practice and honest values narrows, then watch the time honoured fix of more regulation being applied in the short term, that is until the gap narrows again. This is a downward spiral and it can be seen elsewhere. The regulators might only have one instrument and it's a fairly blunt stick. Leaders on the other hand know that a blunt stick is not the answer.
Refer to the "time bomb in dentistry" as I have on previous occasions and be bombarded with a "well it's not me" retort and of course it probably isn't you, but just as the honest players in other professions have had to fall into the regulatory line because of the actions of a few, the "well it's not me" defence just won't wash. That's not just me saying it either. Dentistry front page 18th September sums it all up very well. "Earl Howe announcing 'clear and consistent' guidelines are being drawn up for dentists, in the wake of warnings that bone loss is a 'time bomb' set to cause growing misery." The answer from the CDO is to examine how to provide better information for patients considering implants…well intended perhaps but can you see a pattern forming here? Get ready for even more regulation to govern how you speak to your patients and I'm already putting money on cooling off periods being introduced; "Please be advised that this conversation will be recorded for training and monitoring purposes" !
Now the answer from the regulators might well be even more stick waving but I think this is missing the point. If "the way we do things around here" is robust and built around the absolute core principles of caring for patients and doing the very best that you can, providing options and information (in other words the genuine values that I know most dentists believe in) then you will be doing your bit towards being one step ahead of the regulators. If you are proud of "the way we do things around here" and it is valued, understood and applied by all of your team then that is the best that you can do.
Values based businesses and their leaders don't need to resort to a blunt stick.


Clothing is an essential part of everyday life but buying new clothes can get super expensive. If you're looking for clothes online, you can use clothing swap websites to trade your clothes with other people or you can use websites like Craigslist to find free clothing. When searching in person, you can find free clothes at garage sales or thrift stores. There may also be nonprofits that will give free clothing to families and individuals that can't afford them.
Trade clothing with someone on a clothing swap website. Clothing swap websites allow you to trade pieces of clothing with someone else. This is a great way of getting free clothes while getting rid of something that doesn't fit or that you don't wear anymore. Create a profile on a clothing swap website and browse what other users have to offer. When you find something that you like, make an offer to the person and see what they have to say.
Popular clothing swap websites include SwapStyle, Rehash, and Swapdom.
If you want to trade clothes, you'll have to take photographs of them.
Try to trade something that is equal in value to what is being offered.
Look for free clothes on Craigslist. Visit Craigslist.org and click on the free section of the website. Scroll through the pages and look for listings of people giving away free clothes. Message the poster and arrange to meet them to pick up the clothes.
To be safe, meet them in a public place and bring a friend with you when you pick up the clothes.
Use websites like Freecycle and Freegle as an alternative to Craigslist. Freecycle and Freegle are websites that allow people to post things that they want to give away. Visit the websites and type in your location. Then, browse the listings and find someone that's giving away clothing.
You can also post a wanted ad that people can respond to. Make your post something like "Need adult-sized clothes."
Use cash-back points from websites and apps. There are rebate apps and websites you can use to get cash-back offers when you shop at select stores. Visit the websites and sign up for an account. Then, scroll through the different offers to see how you can get cash-back on purchases that you make or gift cards for completing different offers or tasks. Then, use the cash or credit that you receive to buy clothing at a discounted rate or for free.
Search for coupon codes to save money. Search online for coupon codes for the brand of clothing that you're purchasing. You may even find cash-back rewards that you can use for your next purchase. While the clothes won't typically be free, you can save a lot of money which you can use to buy more clothes in the future.
For example, if you were shopping on https://www.gap.com/, you'd type "coupon codes gap" in Google or another search engine.
Input the coupon code before you check out to see how much money you'll save.
Find free things at garage sales. Some garage sales may have a free section that includes items and clothing that the person wants to give away. Look online for upcoming garage sales near you and give them a visit. Look for a table or section that says "free" when you get there.
You may also be able to find articles of clothing for cheap at a garage sale. Try to negotiate with the person holding the sale to get lower prices.
Search for clothing closets in your area if you're low income. Nonprofits, like Coats for Kids, run programs that are known as clothing closets. These programs provide free clothing to the needy. If you or your household doesn't make a lot of money, this may be a great way to get free clothes. Contact the nonprofit and fill out any required forms before picking up the free clothing at the center.
Find free clothes at a thrift store. Thrift stores will also sometimes have free clothing. Look for racks or a section in the thrift store that says "free." If you can't find any free section, ask an employee if there is anything for free at the store.
Even if you can't find free clothes at a thrift store, you may be able to find decent used clothing at an affordable price.
Ask friends and family for hand me downs. Email, text, or call friends and family members to ask if they have any clothes they don't want anymore. This is a great way to free up space in your friend's closet while getting something for free. Remember to thank the person and let them know how much you appreciate it.
Ask people who are close to your size so the clothes fit.
Trade old clothes at a consignment shop to get store credit. If you don't have money, you may be able to trade in your old clothes at a consignment shop for cash or credit. Find old clothes that are in good condition and take them to the consignment shop. Ask how much cash or credit you can get for the clothes and use the funds to buy new clothing.
You can typically get more in store credit than you can in cash at a consignment shop.
Use coupons to save money on clothes. Seasonal catalogs, magazines, and coupon books will sometimes contain coupons for certain stores. Read the fine print on the coupon to see how long the offer is valid and if you can use the coupon in conjunction with other sales.
Sometimes, certain clothing items will be close to free if you can use a coupon at the right time.
For instance, if you buy a $10 item that is 20% off and you have a $7 coupon, your item would only cost $1 if you can use the coupon during the sale.

India vs Australia: Eagle-eyed Twitter user points out a flaw in Hawk-Eye technology used during DRS call on Day 3
Steve Smith survived an LBW call off Ravichandran Ashwin's bowling in Australia's second innings.
Nevin Clinton
Day 3 of the third Test between India and Australia saw the tide turn in favor of Australia as the hosts made a statement with a terrific bowling performance followed by an assured batting reply. After their first innings total of 338 achieved courtesy a Steve Smith hundred, Australia bundled out India for 244 runs with Pat Cummins picking up 4 wickets.
In reply, Australia lost their two openers, Will Pucovski and David Warner early but Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne ensured the Aussies ended the day 197 runs ahead and 8 wickets in hand. With two more days to go and plenty of time to bat and bowl out India in the final innings, Australia are well and truly on course to take a 2-1 lead in the four match series.
Twitter user notices huge flaw
They've clearly overlaid the stumps here incorrectly. Look where the off stump is on the graphic compared to in reality pic.twitter.com/qFbYXgTyf8
— iBlatant (@iBlatant) January 9, 2021
In the 12th over of Australia's 2nd innings bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin, Steve Smith missed a sweep off an off-break and the appeal from the Indians for LBW was turned down by the umpire. Although skipper Ajinkya Rahane wasn't convinced, the bowler persuaded him to go for the review.
The Hawk-Eye ball-tracking technology showed that the ball had pitched in-line and going on to marginally clip the stumps leading to an 'Umpire's Call' decision. Smith was hence, deemed not out and India retained their review. But a Twitter user with username 'iBlatant' pointed out that the stumps were placed in the wrong position in the projection.
The same turned out to be true as well since it was clearly seen that the ball would have missed the stumps had they been placed correctly. The same would have led India to lose their review which wasn't the case. The reason for the faulty placement of the stumps is not known but there clearly is a case to argue that it has to be ensured that there aren't such silly errors creeping into technology.

One of the most common errors we make is to confuse pleasure for happiness. According to a Hindu proverb: "Pleasure is only the shadow of happiness". Pleasure is the direct result of hedonistic, pleasurable sensual, esthetic, or intellectual stimuli. This fleeting experience of pleasure is dependent upon circumstances, on a specific location, or moment in time. It is unstable by nature, and the sensation it evokes soon becomes neutral or even unpleasant. When repeated it may grow insipid or even lead to disgust, like the happiness of eating a cake. It tastes good, but that pleasure ends as soon as we finish it. To prolong this happiness we would have to keep eating more cakes and then, ten cakes later, we might feel nauseous.
Pleasure is exhausted by usage, like a candle consuming itself. It is almost always linked to an activity and naturally leads to boredom by dint of being repeated. Listening rapturously to a Bach prelude requires a focus of attention that, minimal as it is, cannot be maintained indefinitely. After a while fatigue kicks in and the music loses its charm. If we were forced to listen to the same piece for days on end, it would become unbearable.
Furthermore pleasure is an individual experience, most often centered on the self, which is why it can easily descend into selfishness and sometimes conflict with the well-being of others. In sexual intimacy there can be mutual pleasure through giving and receiving pleasurable sensations. Such pleasure can also transcend the self and contribute to genuine happiness but only if mutuality and generous altruism lies at its core.
You can experience pleasure at somebody else's expense, but you can never derive happiness from it. Pleasure can be joined to cruelty, violence, pride, greed, and other mental conditions that are incompatible with true happiness. "Pleasure is the happiness of madmen, while happiness is the pleasure of sages," wrote the French novelist and critic Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly.
Some people even enjoy vengeance and torturing other sentient beings. Likewise, a businessman may rejoice in the ruin of a competitor, a thief revel in his booty, a spectator at a bullfight can exult in the bull's death. But these are passing, sometimes morbid states of elation that, like moments of positive euphoria, have nothing to do with happiness.
A moment white — then melts forever.
Genuine happiness may be influenced by circumstance, but, unlike pleasure, it is not dependent on it. It does not mutate into its opposite, but endures and grows with experience. It imparts a sense of fulfilment that in time becomes second nature.

The ban was prompted by leaked recordings that implicated then Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and members of his close circle in corruption allegations.

Tallest Mountains Bolivia
December 23, 2018 By gulliver
Looking for the tallest mountains to climb on your next visit to Bolivia? Here are 5 of the tallest mountains climbers must do when you pay a visit to this magnificent country.
Mountains of Bolivia
Bolivia is crossed by the Andes Mountain Range which holds the 28% of the territory of the country. The Andes Mountains in Bolivia has the highest elevations in South America with some mountains over 6000 meters (19685 ft) and are divided in the west mountain range also known as cordillera real and the east mountain range with valleys between them called el Altiplano boliviano. This area has an altitudinal range of 3000 meters (9842 ft) approximately.
Along El Altiplano the capital city La Paz the highest capital city in the world with an altitude of 3640 meters (11942 ft), also this is the place of two important touristic attractions that the country owns, one of them is the Titicaca lake the highest navigable lake in the world with an altitude of 3810 meters (12500 ft) located in the border between Peru and Bolivia and The Salar de Uyuni; an area composed by salt flats with more than 64 thousand million tons of salt and lithium creating one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
Parinacota is the fifth tallest mountain in the country, standing at a height of 20.827 feet or 6.348 mts. The mountain is located on the border of Bolivia and Peru, sitting in the Bolivia's Oruro Department and the Arica and Parinacota Region of Chile. Parinacota sits in two national parks that are located on the border of this two countries, the Sajama National Park in Bolivia and the Lauca National Park in Chile. The first registered ascent of Parinacota was in 1928 by Bolivian Carlos Terán and Austrian Joseph Prem.
Illampu
Illampu stands at a height of 20,892 feet or 6.367mts. The mountain is located in La Paz Department. The mountain's border is in the north the Ancohuma Mountain and east of Lake Titicaca. The Laguna Glaciar is located in the massif between Illampu and Ancohuma, which is the 17th highest lake on Earth. The first ascent of the mountain was done in 1928 by Austrians Erwin Hein and Alfred Horeschowsky and Germans Hans Pfann and Hugo Hörtnagel.
Ancohuma
Ancohuma, also known as Janq'u Uma, is the third tallest mountain in Bolivia at 21,085 feet or 6426mts. The mountain is located in La Paz Department and like Illampu its parent range is the Cordillera Real. The mountain can be seen of the Illampu Mountain and east of Lake Titicaca.
Illimani is the second tallest mountain in Bolivia, standing at a height of 21,122 feet or 6,438 mts. The mountain is located near and visible from the city of La Paz, which serves as the seat of the Bolivian government, and the city of El Alto. The first known ascent of the mountain was done in 1898 by Englishman William Martin Conway and Swiss-Italians Antoine Maquignaz and Louis Pellissier.
Sajama
Sajama, also called Nevado Sajama, is the tallest mountain in Bolivia, standing at a height of 21,463 or 6541mts. The mountain is located in the Oruro Department and its parent range is the Cordillera Occidental. Sajama is also located in the Sajama National Park, along with Illampu Mountain. Sajama has another fact in common with Illampu in that it is also an extinct stratovolcano, although it is unknown when Sajama last erupted. The first ascent of the mountain was done in 1939 by Austrians Josef Prem and Wilfrid Kühm.

A pro-active approach to safety
david	2019-04-29T18:13:16+00:00	April 29th, 2019|Safety|
A set of draft guidelines due for final voting at MSC 101 in June, 2019, will address a number of important concerns and reflect a new regulation philosophy that promises more flexibility.
While in the past, IMO and other regulatory bodies typically issued regulations in response to incidents, the trend today is to be pro-active while pursuing a goal-based regulatory approach that defines what should be achieved, rather than how to achieve it, DNV GL said in an industry note.
This provides flexibility for designers to reap the full benefits of advanced technology. A number of IMO draft guidelines, which are subject to approval by MSC 101 and will likely enter into force on 1st January, 2024, will take this approach.
For example, mooring operations involve hazardous activities. IMO has therefore reviewed and amended the relevant SOLAS requirements and drafted new and revised guidelines for new ships; the inspection and maintenance requirements for mooring equipment, including lines, are expected to be applied retroactively.
The Polar Code, in force since 2017, was just the beginning: IMO has developed recommendations for navigation and communications equipment, as well as for life-saving appliances for ships operating in Polar waters.
This new guidance document addresses environmental factors, such as Polar temperatures, mechanical shock testing to withstand icebreaking situations, ice accretion and battery performances in cold temperatures.
Furthermore, the guidelines for life-saving appliances and arrangements (LSA) outline recommendations for mitigating hazards based on assessment criteria, such as maximum expected time of rescue, operation at Polar service temperatures, operation in ice, ice accretion of life-saving appliances and arrangements, the effect of operation in high latitudes, operation in extended periods of darkness and the possibility of abandonment into ice or land.
It should be noted that the recommendations to carry additional clothing, survival equipment and water may affect the capacity of the survival craft. However, the actual capacity adjustment, if any, would be dependent on factors such as insulation and heating of the LSA.
To address fire risks on ro-ro decks of passenger ships, typically associated with reefer units and electrical systems, IMO has agreed on draft interim guidelines detailing operational measures and recommendations for the design of fire safety systems on board new ropaxes, such as enhanced fire detection technology, CCTV and non-open ro-ro decks.
Vessels with DNV GL additional class notation F (A, M, C), 2018 or later are already in line with this best practice, the class society said.
Owners and ship operators are encouraged to review their ropaxes with open vehicle decks or weather decks to ensure there is a sufficient distance between permanent openings and the survival craft.
To protect residents of port cities and coastal regions from ship exhaust gas emissions, authorities increasingly require the use of shore power when ships are in port. IMO is developing guidelines for safe operation of onshore power and is considering potential regulatory amendments. Specific technical requirements will be left to the relevant instruments.
The IMO draft amendments to the guidelines on alternative design and arrangements for SOLAS Chapter II-1 and III (MSC.1/Circ.1212) will allow life-saving appliances and arrangements to deviate from prescriptive requirements, provided an equivalent level of safety is achieved and the intent of the SOLAS requirements are met. IMO defines goals, functional requirements and expected performance criteria providing flexibility in the design of alternative and innovative life-saving appliances.
An entirely different set of conditions complicate rescue operations at high outside temperatures: in a totally enclosed lifeboat full of people, conditions can quickly become unbearable. IMO has therefore developed ventilation requirements for survival craft to reduce the risk of overheating and high CO2 concentrations, proposing a minimum ventilation rate of 5 cu m per hour per person, respectively and that CO2 concentrations are not to exceed 5,000 ppm.
These amendments to the LSA Code will apply to all cargo and passenger ships.
IMO has reviewed the SOLAS design criteria for watertight integrity for consistency with the probabilistic damage stability approach introduced in 2009. A proposed amendment addressing watertight doors and other elements reflects the introduction of safety centres and stability computers in passenger ships and aims to better cover all watertight boundaries on or above the a passenger ship's bulkhead deck.
DNV GL recommended owners and operators monitor the outcome of MSC 101 in June, 2019 and to prepare for implementation of approved amendments to mandatory IMO instruments accordingly.

LETTERS/NOTES
BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
John Adams – Mr. Adams stated graduation was a long day, but it was well worth it. He knows everyone did all they could to make it the best event possible. He stated he's heard from several parents and they were very appreciative that a name was called, they were able to receive their diploma, and go through some sort of ceremony. He commended everyone for their hard work on a job well done. He stated with school nurses and the job they are going to play, we are unique because of how many we have. He stated a lot of schools don't have that many nurses so we are very fortunate and he thinks all administrators are very appreciative of that. He's thankful our corporation has invested into those folks and the job they do and what they will continue to do from this point forward with what we are faced with. He stated a lot of other school corporations don't have the ability to have that many nurses and we've been very committed in trying to keep those numbers where they should be. He's thankful we are still able to do that even though they've taken some heat before for having so many nurses, but now it looks like that decision has paid off and will continue to pay off. He thanked Mrs. Whittington for all her years and to the others who are leaving for their time. He stated the reentry plan is a lot of information to take in because there's a lot there. He stated even with the athletic side of it, he commends everyone involved. He stated some administrators will have to make some tough calls. He knows how important game nights are to budgets and how that helps support other things for our schools. He stated we don't know how this is going to impact us as a school. He stated we've been faced with quite a bit in the last 14-15 years since he's been on the Board, but he thinks we've always come out on the better side of things with the decisions that have been made. He stated there's no doubt this Board will do all they can to support everyone and the jobs they are doing with all they'll be faced with. He stated this includes the athletic side, the arts side, making sure we have people in the buildings to take care of kids, special needs, and all those things. He stated there is going to be a lot to this and we really don't know yet how it is going to affect us, but one thing he does know, DelCom will come out on the right side of it. He thanked everyone for what they do and stated the next time they meet school will just be getting ready to start. He stated a lot of people are putting in a lot of preparation and that's greatly appreciated.
Trent Fox – Mr. Fox thanked everyone for being here. He stated it's nice to see everyone and have faces looking at them. He thanked everyone for their efforts so far with the reentry plan because they all know it's going to change. He stated we just have to be prepared to flow with that and hopefully we do all the right things and can look back on it and know we grew from it. He stated Graduation wasn't what they planned or what they wanted to do, but there was a lot of good feedback from it. He's glad parents could be a part of it and were able to take pictures that they may not have been able to get otherwise and he's thankful for the ability to do that for our kids. He stated he's glad athletics have been able to start something back up because these kids need it. He stated we can't keep staying home and not doing anything because we are only going to end up hurting ourselves the longer we keep forcing kids to be isolated. He hates to think of the health risks and everything else that might drum up from all the concerns of one thing compared to all the concerns of the other aspects of mental health and what can happen down the road from some of that as well. He prays we can continue to move forward, get ahold of things, and get better at what we are doing.
Jacob Case – Mr. Case concurred with his fellow board members. He thanked the team who came together to make plans for starting school. He stated this will be a tough issue for some parents and families who will need to do what they feel is best for them in these situations and to not feel pressure to go back or stay home. He stated he believes kids in front of a teacher is better than sitting at home in front of a computer. He thanked The Community Foundation for the Grant. He stated we lost a teacher, Mrs. Bilby over the holiday. He stated she was a great teacher and taught his daughter twice in 2nd and 4th grade. He stated without her, his daughter wouldn't like to read like she does today and he's sorry for that loss.
Lance Engle – Mr. Engle concurred with his fellow board members. He stated what they did for Graduation was not the favorite plan, but it was a success. He heard lots of positive feedback from parents at graduation parties who were nothing but gracious and thankful that we got to do something. He stated this has been a tough summer for administration, it's not been a fun one and there have been a lot of ups and downs. He thanked everyone from the bottom of his heart. He stated as a Board, from everyone's hard work and dedication with trying to make the best situation as a family and coming together as a group with this plan, he likes it. He thinks it's going to be good and knows it's probably going to change, but he appreciates that. He stated the loss of Mrs. Bilby was a tough one. He stated her son works for him and is coming back tomorrow so keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He stated it will be a tough day for him, but they will keep him busy.
Adam Williams – Mr. Williams thanked everyone who showed up. He greatly appreciates everyone working together to develop a plan and understanding it's a working document because that's really what we're dealing with. He knows every decision in that plan is made by a group of people who care for our children at a very deep level and every decision will be based on caring for them first. He stated mistakes happen, we'll tweak and adjust, but we know the heart is there and we will get the right answer. He stated sometimes it will be a pendulum, we'll go too far and then have to correct to level out and then correct back. He stated with this group of people who care so much, which he sees in so many different ways, is just another example and he appreciates that care for our kids. He stated they are in good hands and he trusts the guidance the administration is putting together on researching the best method they can to get kids back in school and he appreciates all that effort.
A regular meeting for the Board of School Trustees is scheduled for Monday, August 3, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. at the Administration Building.
A motion was made by Lance Engle and seconded by Trent Fox and Board President, Adam Williams, adjourned the meeting at 7:55 p.m.

An outspoken judge has said people with mental health problems have been abandoned by the government and that placing them in the community is nothing more than a cost-cutting exercise to shut down facilities.
In a powerful attack on the system at the Magistrates Court in Londonderry yesterday, District Judge Barney McElholm said it was time that mental health professionals "grasped their responsibilities" instead of putting the onus on the courts to deal with the problem.
He made his comments during the case of a 36-year-old local woman with mental health issues. She was removed from Craigavon Bridge on Tuesday night by police officers following a report from a member of the public who said they had seen her acting in a potentially suicidal manner.
An officer said the woman, who admitted breaching her court bail conditions when she was arrested, was then taken to Altnagelvin Hospital.
"On arrival there she was taken to the Accident and Emergency department and then into a triage room," the officer said.
"She refused to engage with the triage nurse and remained silent throughout the entire contact with the nurse.
"She refused to be medically treated.
"It really is a sad situation. It's gotten to the stage that I have to unfortunately ask for a remand in custody. I do not know of anything else I can suggest for her."
Mr McElholm questioned what police were meant to do if they saw her on the Craigavon Bridge again.
"Are they supposed to leave her on the bridge the next time?" he said.
"The mental health regime has not worked in this jurisdiction since that care in the community idea was brought in. It is a regime which was completely without integrity.
"It was designed to save money and to put people out into the community who cannot survive on their own in the community. It was to shut down various mental health institutions.
"There is nowhere to send addicts, nowhere to send people with entrenched mental health difficulties.
"There just seems to be an attitude in government to leave it to the criminal justice system without giving the criminal justice system the resources to manage it. I am worried that in this particular case the police will not get there in time the next time. Locking her up is doing her no good.
"A short prison sentence will do no good for anyone.
"I just find that people such as this lady are being abandoned by the government - not that we have a functioning government here.
"I can appreciate the dilemma of the police. If I were the police I would not take her to Altnagelvin Hospital the next time, I would take her to Grangewood in Gransha Hospital and say, 'You are the mental health professionals, this is your responsibility'. I think it's about time they grasped their responsibilities.
"There is a complete dearth in mental health services in this jurisdiction.
"I do not know if that applies to the rest of the UK.
"Mental health professionals need to be dealing with this young lady, not the criminal justice system."
The woman was released on bail until June 22.


"I'll vote for your legislation, if you'll vote for mine." This is never said in public, but occurs constantly. Regularly, our leadership requests legislation, and a politician agrees to the request if our leadership includes his project. Politicians trade votes for their respective benefit, which is seldom for the benefit of Americans.
Political insiders call this "log rolling," and the expense to the American public is enormous. It is blatantly taking property, which incrementally reduces everyone's wealth, security and freedom.
The Farm Bill should be called "Prolonging the Food Stamp Tragedy and Farm Subsidies." Speaker of the House John Boehner (R, Ohio) has pronounced he will vote for the bill. The following chart from Heritage Foundation reflects the tremendous growth of food stamp-use in good times and in bad. One major reason for the growth is the immoral log-rolling; rural Republicans receive farm subsidies in exchange for increased Food Stamp allocations wanted by big-city Democrats.
The Washington Post aptly explains the politics –er...log rolling. Politician's from the cities acquire more food stamps while rural politicians receive more in farm subsidies.
Every five years Congress passed a farm bill that represented a deal between urban and rural states. The city folk got food stamps to help the urban poor (and the grocery chains that sell to them) and the rural folk got subsidies for commodity producers, as well as the boost in demand from food stamps.
Yes, the current law is lousy, and the House and Senate versions of the bill essentially differ on cutting food stamps by $4 billion or $20 billion over 10 years. Horribly, both versions extend the two programs, which should be reconsidered and reorganized. Besides, both programs should be debated and accepted (or rejected) on their merits.
Hence, separate foods stamps from the Farm Bill, have a public discussion on both bills, and vote. By the way, this is the how a democracy should determine all policy decisions. It's time to stop the despicable log-rolling and prolonging lousy programs – food stamps and farm subsidies. In other words, Congress stop your continuing corruptions.
Congress should do their job and read each and every word in every bill brought for a vote. Each bill should only deal with one subject, not multiples with amendments that have nothing to do with the originating legislation. This is how pork was invented and is continued to weigh upon the taxpayers. All unethical and immoral methods of congress conducting its business. It is disgustingly shameful and the true mark of criminals. They truly should be thrown in jail for dong these things. It is the same thing as theft or burglary and includes fraud of many varieties as well.

What you've been waiting for usually happens when you stop hoping.
Simon has been watching all his friends find their mates and fall in love, but he's still waiting for his. He knows he's young and that he has time, but time doesn't keep him warm at night and doesn't make him feel loved. He yearns to have that, especially after growing up with his parents and his brother.
Malik is both the alpha of his school and a council member. When Kameron asks him and his best friend, Quincy, to help deal with Tom, the man who's dead set on eliminating him, the last thing Malik expects is to meet his mate. He knows they'll have to talk and to make decisions, but Simon makes what he wants very clear, and Malik doesn't even think of saying no.
Simon and Malik don't waste time and mate right away. However, Tom is still threatening, and Malik, along with Kameron and Quincy, need to find a solution, or they could lose everything.
Simon pointed the remote at the TV. He was bored, but he couldn't bring himself to go home, not yet.
He loved living with Mal, Elliott, and their mates, really he did, but it became a bit sickening sometimes. He had to watch them being all lovey-dovey while he was still desperately alone. It was depressing, and he knew both Mal and Elliott tried not to be too affectionate with their mates while he was around. That was the last thing he wanted them to do. They deserved their happiness, and he didn't want to hinder it.
That was the reason he'd been spending so much time at Kam and Zach's house lately. Not that he didn't have to see lovey-dovey people there, too, but it was different. Simon and Zach were friends, but they weren't as close as Mal and Elliott were. Besides, Kam didn't spend much time in the house lately. He was always out doing council stuff and keeping an eye out for Tom.
Jago and Corbin also lived there, as did Nootaw and Merle, but Corbin was the least affectionate person Simon had ever met, and Nootaw and Merle were too busy with Aranck most of the time. They didn't have the opportunity to be together as much as the other couples did.
It was relaxing. Simon knew he wouldn't be blindsided by someone making out on the couch or by sex noises.
He changed the channel on the TV and relaxed back into the couch, but just as he was getting into the movie, a door slammed.
"Come back here!" Merle yelled, and Simon grinned.
He leaned sideways to peek into the hallway, and sure enough, Aranck was in his wendigo form, crawling along the hallway half-naked. He always lost his nappy when he shifted, because his wendigo form was so much thinner than his chubby baby one.
Aranck quickly came into the living room and hid under the coffee table. Merle entered only seconds after him, looking flustered. His T-shirt was dirty and sporting five holes that looked like they'd been made by claws. His face was red, his hair mussed, and his eyes were a bit wild.
"Have you seen him?" he asked.
Simon smiled and pointed at the coffee table. Aranck rumbled in delight. The sound was a bit disconcerting. Simon was used to babies giggling, not rumbling, but he'd become used to Aranck in his wendigo form. The trick was to keep fingers away from Aranck's mouth and to find one of his parents as soon as possible.
Merle huffed and slumped next to Simon on the couch. Simon patted his knee. "What's wrong?"
Merle sighed. "Nothing. This is not how I thought my life would be."
"Tired of playing Dad already?"
"Not tired, just... it's hard. I never thought I'd have kids, and now I have a wendigo shifter one. I think that side of him makes things even harder than they would be with a human or a shifter baby."
Simon reached out and poked a finger through one of the holes on Merle's T-shirt. Merle looked down and smiled deprecatingly. "Yeah. Exactly."
"Where's Nootaw?"
"Patrol."
Simon hesitated, because he knew Merle didn't have a good relationship with Aranck's mother, but he asked anyway. "Nepi?"
"Probably spying from the forest. She's been pouting in there lately."
"She's still not used to you and Nootaw being together?"
"I'm not sure she ever will be. I see how she looks at me every time I touch Nootaw, and every time I take Aranck. She wants me dead."
"That bad?"
Merle sighed again and poked a socked foot under the coffee table. Aranck rumbled, and Merle snatched his foot away before Aranck could bite it. "Not really, but it's only because she doesn't want anything to do with me. I know Nootaw and she have been fighting a lot lately, and he's scared she's going to try and take Aranck away."
"Have you told Kam?"
"Yeah. I know he's keeping an eye on her, and he ordered that she shouldn't be left alone with Aranck. Let me tell you, that's not helping her like me. She thinks it's my fault."
Simon knew there wasn't an easy way to solve Merle's problem. Nepi was having a very hard time accepting that same-sex relationships and matings were allowed in the pack. Simon understood where she came from—Nootaw had told him and a few others how growing up in his tribe had been, and what he and Nepi had been taught. Simon had been taught similar things since he was a kid, and his parents still firmly believed same-sex relationships were wrong. There was Aranck to think of, though, and he hoped Nepi wouldn't do something stupid.
