Application of a STUDENT WITH A DISABILITY, by his parents, for review of a determination of a hearing officer relating to the provision of educational services by the Board of Education of the Harborfields Central School District
Law Offices of Frank C. Panetta, Esq. PC, attorneys for petitioners, by Frank C. Panetta, Esq.[1]
Guercio & Guercio, LLP, attorneys for respondent, by John P. Sheahan, Esq.
This proceeding arises under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (20 U.S.C. §§ 1400-1482) and Article 89 of the New York State Education Law. Petitioners (the parents) appeal from the decision of an impartial hearing officer (IHO) which denied their request for compensatory education to remedy claims arising from the student's 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years. The appeal must be dismissed.
The parties' familiarity with the detailed facts and procedural history of the case is presumed and will not be recited here. This was a lengthy, complex case which resulted in a very large hearing record. The record contains 15 different IEPs spanning the school years at issue (see Dist. Exs. 1-11; 122-25). Despite frequent disagreements between the district and parents concerning his program and placement, the student remained in the district public schools during the school years at issue, and graduated from the district, earning a Regents diploma, at the close of the 2019-20 school year (Dist. Ex. 289). The first administrative proceeding was commenced by a due process complaint notice file by the parent's attorney,[2] dated November 24, 2015,in which the parents alleged that the district failed to offer the student a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for the 2013-14, 2014-15, and 2015-16 school years (see IHO Ex. I).
An impartial hearing convened on January 20, 2016, and three hearing dates were conducted (Tr. pp. 1-27). In a second due process complaint notice dated November 28, 2016, the parents filed additional claims concerning the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years (see IHO Ex. II). The two due process complaint notices were consolidated into a single impartial hearing by an interim decision of the IHO dated February 24, 2017 (IHO Interim Order dated February 24, 2017). The impartial hearing concluded on September 3, 2020 after a total of 48 days of proceedings (Tr. pp. 1-6792).[3] In a final decision dated November 16, 2020, the IHO determined that the district offered the student a FAPE for each of the four school years at issue and denied the parents' request for compensatory education (IHO Decision at pp. 1-246).[4]
I will briefly summarize the contents of the IHO's 209-page decision, which is notably thorough in its description of the evidence and testimony gathered during the lengthy impartial hearing, and carefully describes the reasoning behind the numerous findings and determinations therein.
The IHO decision began with a table of contents, and then listed each hearing date with appearances by the district and parent attorneys and witnesses (IHO Decision at pp. 1-14). Next, the IHO described the procedural history of the case and the position of the parties with respect to the claims at issue (id. at pp. 15-21). Then the IHO described the details of the student's educational history for each of the four school years at issue, describing the student's IEPs, evaluations, various reports and significant events of each school year, with references to exhibits and testimony in the hearing record (id. at pp. 21-48). The IHO also detailed the student's educational history known to have occurred after the school years at issue, noting, among other things, the fact that the student graduated from the district with a Regents diploma in June 2020 (id. at pp. 48-49).
The IHO decision then provided a detailed summary of each of the 18 witnesses who testified on behalf of the parents and the district at the impartial hearing (IHO Decision at pp. 49-154). The district witnesses described by the IHO included the student's general and special education teachers from the district's middle school and high school, several related service providers, district specialized reading teachers, district school psychologists, a district middle school assistant principal, a licensed clinical social worker, a district school administrator, a behavior analyst and a vocational counselor, several of whom testified on rebuttal as well as direct (IHO Decision at pp. 49-107).
Turning to the witnesses called by the parents, the IHO summarized the testimony of a neuropsychologist who evaluated the student, and two licensed behavior analysts (IHO Decision at pp. 107-17). The IHO also summarized the lengthy testimony of the student's mother, who described events of each school year, as well as the student's father (IHO Decision at pp. 108-54).
Next, the IHO set forth the applicable legal standards pertinent to addressing the parents' claims concerning delivery of a FAPE to the student, implementation of the student's IEPs, the request for compensatory education, the adequacy of IEP annual goals, and the IDEA and bullying (IHO Decision at pp 154-60).
The IHO then made preliminary conclusions concerning the specificity of the parents' due process complaints, finding that the district had effectively waived some of its arguments, and made a general finding with respect to witness credibility (IHO Decision at pp. 160-61). The IHO also made general findings concerning the student's diagnoses and characteristics, bullying issues, and the parents' experience and expertise in education (IHO Decision at pp. 162-66).
The IHO then made factual findings and legal conclusions with respect to each school year at issue (IHO Decision at pp. 166-208). Concerning the 2013-14 school year, the IHO found that although there had been certain procedural errors in developing the student's programing for the school year, the district established that it had provided a FAPE for the student, and the parents' claims concerning the appropriateness of the student's IEPs and behavior intervention plans (BIPs), and claims concerning bullying, had not been demonstrated by the evidence (IHO Decision at pp. 166-78).
Concerning the 2014-15 school year, the IHO addressed numerous claims, most notably with respect to implementation of the student's math classes and found that although the student's math program had not been implemented in accordance with the 12:1+2 special class the student's IEP and therefore materially deviated from the terms of the IEP, the student had received 1:1 math instruction and there had been some progress and no educational detriment from the arrangement that the district employed and, consequently, the IHO found no basis for an award of compensatory education (IHO Decision at pp. 178-92).
With regard to the 2015-16 school year, the IHO again addressed numerous claims, notably with respect to IEP goals, the math programming and IEP implementation, and concluded that those claims did not result in a denial of FAPE (IHO Decision at pp. 192-204). The IHO also addressed issues arising from the student's social emotional needs, a period of home instruction that occurred during this school year, and claims concerning make-up services for periods of home instruction that were imperfectly delivered. The IHO ultimately concluded that the district had not failed to provide a FAPE for the 2015-16 school year (id.).
The IHO also addressed claims arising from the 2016-17 school year up to the time of the November 2016 second due process complaint notice (IHO Decision at pp. 204-08; see IHO Ex. II). The IHO found that some of the parents' claims had not been properly raised, and addressed claims concerning CSE evaluations, implementation of the student's IEP, IEP goals and transition services, and found that the district had established that the program developed for the 2016-17 school year was reasonably calculated to enable the student to make meaningful progress in light of his unique circumstances (id.).
Lastly, the IHO determined that in light of the student's graduation he had become ineligible for special education, and a gross denial of FAPE had not occurred even if the parents claims were aggregated (IHO Decision at p. 208). Accordingly the IHO concluded that based upon the findings in the decision, there was no basis to order the relief requested by the parents in the matter (IHO Decision at p. 209).
The parties' familiarity with the particular issues for review on appeal in the parents' request for review and the district's answer thereto is also presumed and will not be recited here in detail. Briefly, the parent brings numerous allegations of IHO error with respect to her findings concerning each school year at issue, asserting that each IEP failed to provide a FAPE in the LRE and that implementation of the student's IEPs in the district's schools was improper during the school years at issue. The district chiefly asserts that the parents' request for review should be dismissed as untimely and, in any event, the student's graduation with a Regents diploma forecloses an award of compensatory education to the student.
V. Discussion
A.Timeliness of Appeal
An appeal from an IHO's decision to an SRO must be initiated by timely personal service of a verified request for review and other supporting documents upon a respondent (8 NYCRR 279.4[a]). A request for review must be personally served within 40 days after the date of the IHO's decision to be reviewed (id.). If the last day for service of any pleading or paper falls on a Saturday or Sunday, service may be made on the following Monday; if the last day for such service falls on a legal holiday, service may be made on the following business day (8 NYCRR 279.11[b]). State regulation provides an SRO with the authority to dismiss sua sponte an untimely request for review (8 NYCRR 279.13; see e.g., Application of the Board of Educ., Appeal No. 17-100 [dismissing a district's appeal for failure to timely effectuate personal service on the parent]; Application of a Student with a Disability, Appeal No. 16-014 [dismissing a parent's appeal for failure to effectuate service in a timely manner]). However, an SRO may, in his or her sole discretion, excuse a failure to timely seek review within the 40-day timeline for good cause shown (8 NYCRR 279.13). The reasons for the failure must be set forth in the request for review (id.). "Good cause for late filing would be something like postal service error, or, in other words, an event that the filing party had no control over" (Grenon v. Taconic Hills Cent. Sch. Dist., 2006 WL 3751450, at *5 [N.D.N.Y. Dec. 19, 2006]; see T.W. v. Spencerport Cent. Sch. Dist., 891 F. Supp. 2d 438, 441 [W.D.N.Y. 2012]).
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, between March and December 2020, the undersigned issued a series of General Orders permitting alternate forms of service of pleadings and prescribing that the COVID-19 pandemic had deemed good cause to serve a late request for review in all State-level review proceedings conducted pursuant to Part 279 of State regulations ("Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates," Office of State Rev., available at https://www.sro.nysed.gov/coronavirus-covid-19-updates). The undersigned's General Orders aligned with provisions of the Governor of the State of New York's Executive Order 202.8 and extensions thereto that tolled the timelines for initiating a legal proceeding, although the General Orders were briefly continued beyond the final extension of the tolling provisions of Executive Order 202.8 in order to reinitialize the multiple timelines in Part 279 a controlled and orderly manner.[5]
Relevant to the timeliness of the parents' request for review, the Thirteenth Revised General Order states as follows:
5) . . . from March 20, 2020 through January 29, 2021, the continuing disaster emergency stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic is deemed good cause to serve a late Request for Review of an IHO decision dated on or after February 10, 2020 through December 14, 2020 pursuant to 8 NYCRR 279.4(a); provided however that THIS LATE SERVICE PROVISION SHALL EXPIRE AFTER January 29, 2021;
6) the timelines for serving and filing a Notice of Intention to Seek Review, a Notice of Intention to Cross-Appeal, and a Request for Review of an IHO decision dated December 15, 2020 or later shall be adjudicated in accordance with the express terms of 8 NYCRR Part 279.
("Thirteenth Revised General Order Regarding Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Recommencement of Timelines under 8 NYCRR Part 279," at p. 4, Office of State Rev. [Dec. 31, 2020] [bolded emphasis in the original; underlined emphasis added], available at https://www.sro.nysed.gov/ common/sro/files/13th-revised-general-order-12.31.20_1.pdf ).[6]
The IHO's initial decision was dated November 16, 2020 (see IHO Decision at p. 209). Accordingly, pursuant to section 5 of the Thirteenth Revised General Order, the continuing disaster emergency stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic was deemed good cause to serve a late request for review concerning the decision; however, that late service provision expired on January 29, 2021, per the order Therefore, in order to have availed themselves of this "safe harbor" provision, the parents would have had to serve the request for review on or before January 29, 2021. The parent's request for review, however, was served upon the district on March 1, 2021 (but was dated February 22, 2021) (Req. for Rev. at p. 10; Parent Aff. of Service). As a result, at the time the parents served the request for review upon the district, they could no longer rely on the tolling provisions related to the COVID-19 pandemic being deemed good cause for serving a late request for review as per the terms of the Thirteenth Revised General Order. Additionally, the parents have not asserted any good cause for the failure to timely seek review in the request for review. Rather, the parents do not acknowledge that the request for review was not served or filed in a timely fashion and do not proffer any excuse at all for their untimely pleading.
In light of the above, the parents' March 1, 2021 service of the request for review upon the district was untimely, the late service provision set forth in the Thirteenth Revised General Order has expired and does not apply, and the parents have asserted no other good cause for their failure to timely appeal the IHO's decision. Accordingly, there is no basis on which to excuse the parent's failure to timely appeal the IHO's decision (see 8 NYCRR 279.13; see also B.D.S. v. Southold Union Free Sch. Dist., 2011 WL 13305167, at *17 [E.D.N.Y. Apr. 26, 2011] [noting that "[i]nadvertence, mistake or neglect does not constitute good cause"]).
The IHO's issuance of a "corrected" decision dated December 15, 2020 does not affect the timelines for appeal of the original IHO Decision. Moreover, even if the corrected decision were to be deemed the operative decision for purposes of determining timeliness, the request for review would be further untimely. Pursuant to the Thirteenth Revised General Order, a "Request for Review of an IHO decision dated December 15, 2020 or later shall be adjudicated in accordance with the express terms of 8 NYCRR Part 279." Accordingly, the parents would have been required to serve the request for review concerning the December 15, 2020 "corrected" decision on the district no later than Monday, January 25, 2021 (see 8 NYCRR 279.4). However, the parent's affidavit of service indicates that the parent served the district on March 1, 2021 (Parent Aff. of Service), which renders the request for review untimely under either calculation.[7]
Finally, I note that largely due to the size of the administrative record,[8] there was correspondence between the parents, the parents' counsel and the Office of State Review prior to the service and filing of the request for review in this matter, and the timelines and procedures for commencing an appeal of an IHO decision were made clear to the parents, including the changes to those procedures set forth in the various General Orders issued by the office of State Review in order to align this office's practices to the Executive Orders issued by the Governor of the State of New York in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (see e.g., December 23 letter from the Office of State Review to Frank C. Panetta, Esq.). On January 4, 2021, the undersigned issued a letter to the parties in this matter and enclosed a copy of Thirteenth Revised General Order that addressed recommencement of the Part 279 timelines.
Because the parent failed to properly initiate this appeal by effectuating timely service upon the district, and there is no good cause asserted in the request for review as to why late service of a request for review should be excused, in an exercise of my discretion, the appeal is dismissed (8 NYCRR 279.13; see (Mount Vernon City School Dist. v. R.N., 2019 WL 169380, at *1 (Sup. Ct. Westchester Cnty Jan. 09, 2019, aff'd 188 A.D.3d 889, 889 [2nd Dep't. 2020]); New York City Dep't of Educ. v. S.H., 2014 WL 572583, at *5-*7 [S.D.N.Y. Jan. 22, 2014] [upholding SRO's decision to reject petition as untimely for being served one day late]; B.C. v. Pine Plains Cent. Sch. Dist., 971 F. Supp. 2d 356, 365-67 [S.D.N.Y. 2013]; T.W., 891 F. Supp. 2d at 440-41; Kelly v. Saratoga Springs City Sch. Dist., 2009 WL 3163146, at *4-*5 [Sept. 25, 2009] [upholding dismissal of a petition served three days late]; Keramaty v. Arlington Cent. Sch. Dist., 05-CV-0006, at *39-*41 [S.D.N.Y. Jan. 25, 2006] [upholding dismissal of a petition served one day late], adopted [S.D.N.Y. Feb. 28, 2006]; Application of a Student with a Disability, Appeal No. 18-046 [dismissing request for review for being served one day late]). However, because I have determined that the parents' appeal of the IHO's decision is untimely, and must be dismissed, a consideration of the parent's substantive claims on appeal will not be conducted in this decision. I do note here, however, that upon my review of the record and IHO decision, the parents were afforded the opportunity to present their claims in full during the lengthy impartial hearing and the claims presented were also addressed at length and in substantial detail in the well-reasoned IHO decision. Perhaps most importantly I also note that, as argued by the district, the provision of significant quantities of special education services to the student over the years in question (albeit even if challenged by the parent as inappropriate) and student's successful graduation and Regents diploma would likely foreclose a finding of a gross violation warranting relief from the district at this juncture given that the student is no longer eligible for special education services under the IDEA.[9]
VI. Conclusion
In view of the forgoing, the parent's request for review was not timely served and good cause for accepting a late request for review was not proffered in the request for review.
I have considered the remaining contentions, including the other defenses asserted by the district in its answer, and find it is unnecessary to address them in light of my determinations above.
Justyn P. Bates
[1] The request for review in this matter is signed by the student's mother and is verified by the student's mother acting "pro se." However, after several communications related to this appeal were made by the parents' attorney, by letter dated March 10, 2021, Frank C. Panetta, Esq. informed the Office of State Review that "You can certainly consider this a notice of appearance and address us with any further communications."
[2] The attorney that filed the due process complaint notices withdrew after the close of evidence in September 2019, but prior to the submission of final reply or sur-reply briefing (see September 3, 2020 Tr. pp. 3-4; IHO Ex. XVIII).
[3] Unsurprisingly for a hearing record this size, there are minor page numbering errors and inconsistencies in the impartial hearing transcripts. For example, each of the six hearing dates conducted between January 20, 2016 and January 23, 2017 begin at page 1 through the close of the hearing on the given date, rather than being consecutively paginated. Beginning on the hearing date of March 28, 2017, the page numbering of the transcripts is consecutive, more or less, up to and including the September 20, 2019 hearing date, ending on page 6792. Thereafter the transcripts of the final two hearing dates, July 13, 2020 and September 3, 2020, both begin at page 1 and are not consecutively paginated with each other. All told there are well over 7000 pages of transcripts in the impartial hearing record. Additionally, there are roughly 3617 pages of parent, district and IHO exhibits in the impartial hearing record (see Parent Exs. 1-5; Dist. Exs. 1-284, 288-89; IHO Exs. I-XXX).
[4] There is also a December 15, 2020 "corrected" IHO decision present in the hearing record which contains adjustments to the list of exhibits list at the end of the decision, but no substantive changes (see December 15, 2020 IHO Decision at pp. 209-46). However, the November 16, 2020 decision is the operative decision because IHOs lack the authority to retain jurisdiction and materially alter their final decisions (see Application of a Student Suspected of having a Disability, Appeal No. 19-010; Application of the Dep't of Educ., Appeal No. 17-009).
[5] As described in the Thirteenth Revised General Order, the Governor declared under Executive Order 202.72 that the tolling provisions of Executive Order 202.8 and the extensions thereto were no longer in effect after November 4, 2020 ("Thirteenth Revised General Order Regarding Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Recommencement of Timelines under 8 NYCRR Part 279," at p. 3, Office of State Rev. [Dec. 31, 2020], available at https://www.sro.nysed.gov/common/sro/files/13th-revised-general-order-12.31.20_1.pdf). Executive Order 202.72 was published in the New York State Register on December 2, 2020. Thereafter, the Thirteenth Revised General Order was issued on December 31, 2020 and, in relevant part, sought "to avoid substantial injustice from a sudden, retroactive application of the November 4, 2020 expiration of the tolling provisions of Executive Order 202" ("Thirteenth Revised General Order," at p. 4).
[6] Although not relevant to the present appeal, the undersigned recently issued a 14th Revised General Order which did not further modify the timelines to appeal an IHO's decision, but continued to allow alternative service of a request for review upon a responded by "Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested" ("Fourteenth Revised General Order Regarding Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Recommencement of Timelines under 8 NYCRR Part 279," Office of State Rev. [March 5, 2021] available at https://www.sro.nysed.gov/common/sro/files/14th-revised-general-order-3.5.21.pdf ).
[7] Additionally, absent the late service provisions authorized by the tolling under the Thirteenth Revised General Order, the parents would have been required to serve the request for review upon the district no later than Monday, December 28, 2020, 40 days (with adjustments for holidays) from the date of the November 16, 2020 IHO Decision.
[8] The administrative record, while large, is not the largest addressed at the State-level within the timelines (see Application of a Student with a Disability, Appeal No. 11-059 & 11-061; Application of a Student with a Disability, Appeal No. 08-003), and neither the IDEA nor Part 279 contain a voluminous record exception to the timelines. While an IHO has the discretion to grant extensions of the 45 day timeline to allow more than two days of hearing, State regulations strongly discourage parties and IHOs from creating a 45-day administrative hearing record like this one for many reasons (8 NYCRR 200.5[j][3][xiii]), not the least of which is that federal policy prohibited administrative hearing officers from extending timelines for rendering a final decision (see, e.g. N.Y. Reg., Sept. 29, 2004, at pp. 11-12 [repealing regulatory amendments that permitted SROs additional time to address voluminous records due to IDEA non-compliance]).
[9] It is well settled that a student's graduation and receipt of a high school diploma is generally considered to be evidence of educational benefit (see Pascoe v. Washington Cent. Sch. Dist., 1998 WL 684583, at *4, *6 [S.D.N.Y. Sept. 29, 1998]; see also Rowley, 458 U.S. at 207 n.28; Walczak, 142 F.3d at 130), the receipt of which terminates a student's entitlement to a FAPE (34 CFR 300.102[a][3][i]; 8 NYCRR 100.5[b][7][iii]; 200.4[i]). It is a rare case where a student will graduate with a high school diploma and yet still qualify for an award of further compensatory educational services thereafter (see, e.g., Application of a Student with a Disability, Appeal No. 19-116; Application of the Bd. of Educ., Appeal No. 18-081; Application of the Bd. of Educ., Appeal No. 17-081; Application of a Student with a Disability, Appeal No. 16-079; Application of a Student with a Disability, Appeal No. 13-215; Application of a Student with a Disability, Appeal No. 13-110; Application of a Student with a Disability, Appeal No. 11-159).

American requests permission to expand Brazil service
American has asked the Transportation Department for the rights to add 17 weekly flights to its U.S.-Brazil service this fall.
The carrier plans to add a second daily flight on its New York-Sao Paulo and Miami-Rio de Janeiro routes on Oct. 1 and Dec. 15, respectively.
It also plans to reschedule a round-robin service that operates daily on a Miami-Recife-Salvador routing so that it can offer nonstops from Miami to each point five days a week, beginning Nov. 15.
DOT action is required because U.S. airlines' flights to Brazil are capped by a government agreement. American said its plan would make use of unallocated frequencies.

Published on IPSnews, by David Cronin, April 3, 2008.
BRUSSELS, Apr 3 (IPS) – Minimum levels of expenditure on addressing the causes of child poverty should be introduced across the European Union, according to a parliamentarian tasked with analysing the problem.
Some 19 million children live in poverty in the EU, about a fifth of the bloc's citizens below the age of 18.
While Gabriele Zimmer, a German left-wing member of the European Parliament (MEP), described the statistic as "almost unbelievable", she indicated that it would be even higher if it was expanded to include young asylum-seekers and undocumented migrants. Zimmer is currently preparing an official report for the Parliament on child poverty.
At least 8 percent of each EU country's national income should be spent on education, Zimmer said. At present, the average for industrialised countries is 6.2 percent.
… While the average rate of poverty for lone parents in the OECD is 31 percent, the figure rises to more than 40 percent in Ireland, the Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg and Spain.
Richardson noted that lone parents in Belgium, Hungary and Italy are paid supplements to the general family allowances offered by the state. But many other EU countries do not provide anything extra for single mothers or fathers.
Hugh Frazer, a professor with Ireland's Maynooth University, said that research from his country "shows that poverty in childhood leads to poverty in adulthood." By leading to reduced economic activity, child poverty can have major costs for entire countries. "This is particularly significant at a time when we have an ageing population (in Europe)," he said.
He argued that a "broad-range approach" is required "if we are to make progress." This would include boosting access to reasonably paid jobs, the provision of better social services, and ensuring that children are consulted about decisions that affect them.
Frazer voiced optimism about the recognition given to children's rights in the Lisbon treaty. "This may lead to stronger action at European level," he said. "At least, I hope it does." (full text).

Eating Disorder Awareness week at McGill, organized by SSMU runs from February 4 – 8. Sophia Esterle, VP Student Life, spearheaded the initiative with the goal of raising awareness around eating disorders in relation to stigma and McGill life. Below is an interview with Esterle, addressing what the week's efforts and problematic attitudes towards eating disorders.
McGill Daily (MD): What was the driving catalyst behind SSMU's Eating Disorder awareness week?
Sofia Esterle (SE): I consider this a very important issue, but I think what drove me to put all this energy and time to organize is my personal experience with it. I have experienced an eating disorder while being a SSMU executive. I recovered from it throughout my term. I know how much of an isolating and terrifying experience it can be. I really wanted have a series of events that talks about this issue and spreads resources. McGill is lacking resources for students to deal with eating disorders.There are a lot of societal and cultural issues around the language and habits that are normalized. I really wanted to address those for the Eating Disorder Awareness week.
MD: What does the week consist of? What kind of events will you host to raise awareness?
SE: We're hoping to have an art show with art related to this topic. The art would be an expression of their experience. This will take place on February 1. On February 2 and February 3, we're hosting discussion groups on campus and and in residence. We'll have active listeners to facilitate. There is going to be workshop on February 4 with someone from the Douglas institute, and on February 5 or 6, there will be a discussion panel with someone from eating disorder treatment centre, Clinique Baca.
MD: What services does McGill offer for those struggling with eating disorders, if any?
SE: They have counseling services and psychiatric services. An eating disorder is a coping mechanism, and those services will help you find someone if you actually can wait until someone is available to see you. They can help you with the issues that may have lead to it. They have two part-time dietations, one of them specializes in eating disorders, and that is great, but it's definitely not enough resources for enough people to have access to them and to have an actual full treatment.
MD: Does McGill marginalize students that struggle with mental illness?
SE: I think McGill, consciously or unconsciously, creates a narrative that asks: are you "bad" enough? Are you in a state "bad" enough to get resources? We shouldn't get care if someone is not "bad" enough." This attitude increases the difficulty of getting care when you're going through a mental illness or mental health problems, regardless of degree. Getting help is hard enough as it is. This narrative increases barriers to access, which marginalized students.

Q: Android Studio isn't showing the xml editor I recently updated to version 3.6.3 of android studio and now whenever I click on an xml file in the project window only the preview with the palette and component tree show up.
Before the update clicking on an xml file would show a xml editor. Now I can't access the xml editor in any project.
I've tried looking through the view menu to see if there was some way to enable the xml editor from there with no luck. Also, I've found that I can still edit java files.
I'm sure it's something really simple that I'm overlooking but I just don't know what. Has anyone run into this problem before, and how did you solve it?

SHIFT by Swaine is a Hip-Hop / R&B track that will leave you in the zone. The track opens up with melodic piano keys as well as amazing vocals from Swaine, leaving you instantly addicted. The lyrics are also worth paying attention to. Swaine is able to switch through multiple flows throughout the track, leaving listeners fiending for more. It's also worth noting that 2:28 seconds into the track, he switches the flow up and displays his rapping ability.
I listened to this song while driving home from the gym last night and my mood instantly switched up. There's something about great music that relaxes and decompresses the soul. This track is perfect for a car ride, morning shower, or a scenic view. Get creative with it. I have been listening to Swaines album "WAR" for about a week now and I have really been enjoying it. The beats are unique, his style is far from average, and he naturally has a voice that makes his music fire.
With a beautifully produced beat, voice, and unique style that sets Swaine apart from the crowd, what's not to love about this track. This playlist is all about addicting music that you will want to listen to again, and SHIFT checks all the boxes.
Don't forget to follow the playlist on all major streaming platforms and follow Music To Get Addicted To's social media accounts.

Q: Wordpress - How can I loop into two different DIVS without repeating the DIVs I am having a little trouble trying to figure out how I can accomplish this: I have a container with two colums in it, a right and a left column. Each column will have 3 posts with a short excerpt stacked in it. Ideally I would like to add one into the right and one into the left until it reaches 3 rows of posts(although if that proves to be alot more of a difficult task than I am fine with posting to the first column than the second. I am able to loop through the posts and add them to one column, but I am having trouble figuring out how one will loop into two separate divs, without repeating the divs. Here is how I am attempting it, so far this code will loop into the left column.
The first left side is using the loop to display the title(excerpt will come after) and the right side is just using html. Can anyone help me figure this one out?

                  This is a popular post

Popular post. This is a popular post, it really is.

A: You just need to apply logic for how you want the posts organized before you start iterating them.
Here's an example (this isn't functional, just a quick illustration):
<?php
$col1 = array();
$col2 = array();
$posts = array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five', 'six');
foreach ($posts as $post) {
    $count++;
    $count % 2 === 1 ? array_push($col1, $post) : array_push($col2, $post);
}
?>

    <?php
    foreach ($col1 as $post) {
        echo '
'.$post.'
';
    }
    ?>

    <?php
    foreach ($col2 as $post) {
        echo '
'.$post.'
';
    }
    ?>

This produces the output:

one

three

five

two

four

six

As you can see, now the elements of the $posts array are organized in both columns in an alternating fashion.

Q: Erase partition without recreating one? I've got an external USB hdd that I wish to use entirely as a TrueCrypt volume. There was one pre-formatted partition, so I'm trying to erase that with Disk Utility. But no matter what I do or try, whenever I Erase the partition (or the entire disk), it keeps automatically re-creating a new partition.
How do I just erase the partition, without recreating one, thus leaving the entire disk empty (i.e. without even one partition) ?

A: To remove all entries from the GPT and MBR tables, open the Disk Utility application and do the following.

*

*Select your disk.

*Select Partition tab.

*Set Partition Layout to "1 Partition".

*Set Format to "Free Space".

*Click on the Option... button and select "Master Boot Record".

*Click Ok to close the pop up window.

*Click the Apply button.

The image below was made just before clicking the Apply button.

A: If you are comfortable with command line:

*

*Run diskutil list

*In the output, identify the disk you want to erase all partitions from. It will be something like diskN (N being a number).

*Run sudo diskutil unmount /dev/diskN. It might say diskN was already unmounted or it has a partitioning scheme so use "diskutil unmountDisk" instead, no worries.

*Run sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN. It should say something like Unmount of all volumes on diskN was successful.

*On the command line type sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/diskN bs=1 count=1024, double-check you have replaced N with the correct number as an error here could be catastrophic, then run.

*Veracrypt will now be able to create an encrypted volume on that entire disk (I just tried now).


"Officers Down," a new analysis of FBI data released today by Everytown for Gun Safety, reveals that nearly two-thirds of Washington State police shot to death in a 30-year span were murdered by people who had been barred from possessing guns. Everytown's analysis was completed in the final months of the campaign for Initiative 594, the ballot measure that would close the loophole in Washington's background check law by making sure all Washington gun-buyers undergo a background check when buying a gun. Initiative 594 would expand background checks to cover all gun sales—including those between strangers at gun shows and online— and protect law enforcement by preventing convicted felons and other prohibited purchasers from getting guns. Research shows that in states that require background checks for every gun sale, 39 percent fewer law enforcement are killed with handguns. Everytown's "Officers Down" analysis is available here.
Of the 36 Washington State law enforcement officers murdered between 1980 and 2013, 28 were killed with firearms that were not their own. And of those gun murders, at least seventeen — 61 percent — were committed by individuals who were prohibited from possessing firearms.
To conduct the analysis, Everytown obtained the FBI's Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) database covering felonious deaths of law enforcement from 1980 to 2011 and updated it with additional incidents documented in press clippings. For all incidents in which an officer was killed with a firearm that was not his or her own, Everytown identified the assailant and then researched state and federal criminal records and contemporaneous newspaper records to determine if the individual was prohibited by law from possessing firearms. Details of those incidents are available in the "Officers Down" analysis here.

The Patriots have a transitional leadership and the Ravens show their winning culture
Like every Monday, we go with the conclusions after the eleventh day of NFL American Football:
Taking advantage of the Buffalo loss, the Patriots are temporarily leaders of the AFC East; He still has two games left against the Bills. Even more important is the fact that the defense has not allowed more than seven points three games ago and Mac Jones is looking more and more comfortable.
1. It's been two straight games in which Atlanta doesn't score touchdowns. Without Corradelle Patterson and Calvin Ridley, that offense is lifeless. Matt Ryan has two years left on his contract and I'd start thinking about potentially moving him in the offseason.
2. Don't look now, but the Texans defense has allowed a combined 30 points in the last two games. They intercepted Ryan Tannehill four times and forced five total losses. Tyrod Taylor hurt with his legs and Houston gave the bell of the day.

3. Injuries continue to mount for the Titans, who started the game without Derrick Henry or Julio Jones, then lost AJ Brown with a chest injury. Having said that, Ryan Tannehill must thrive in the face of adversity and he had a lousy game. Inexcusable defeat.
Four. Justin Jefferson is already one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, Kirk Cousins grew in important moments and the offense was vertical all afternoon. Of course, if Minnesota is going to aspire to a wild card, the defense has to better protect the advantages; again it almost escapes them.
5. Always special to see a talent like Aaron Rodgers play. The problem this week was that the defense, which had had a very good year, allowed more than 400 yards and was a strainer. Elgton Jenkins' injury worries, especially with Bakhtiari still not ready.
6. There's a difference between winning without playing well and not looking like a playoff team for a long time. Cleveland has scored more than 17 points just once in the last six games, Baker Mayfield is clearly unhealthy and they struggled to beat Detroit without their starting QB.
7. D'Andre Swift is the light at the end of the tunnel for the Lions. The runner had one of the best games of his career. Tim Boyle made his starting debut, passing for just 77 yards and throwing two interceptions. They're in the driver's seat for the first pick in the draft.
8. Who would have thought at the beginning of the year, but the Eagles could easily qualify for the playoffs. They discovered his identity, and rushed for 242 yards against what came in as the best rushing defense in the league. Triumph that could give potential tiebreaker against Saints.
9. Without Alvin Kamara and his two starting offensive tackles, the Saints lost their third straight game and are officially in trouble. Still healthy, the offense is lifeless and to top it all, the defense had by far its worst game of the season.
10. On a day in which the Titans and the Bills lost, the Ravens managed to win without Lamar Jackson. It wasn't sexy, but Tyler Huntley led them to the winning series in the finale. Judging from how they have played, it is not understood that the Ravens are 7-3, but they have winning culture.
eleven. They are going to clean the house at the end of the year in Chicago. This is the kind of defeat that is the last straw. To top it all, Justin Fields injured his ribs and the defense allowed the winning touchdown in the final series. Goodbye to the Bears season.
Javier Trejo Garay makes up the podium of players who broke it in one more day of professional American football.
12. If there is one thing that cannot be questioned from this Washington team, it is their resilience. Despite all the injuries, they never stop competing. Taylor Heinicke limited errors and played an excellent game. The defense has limited the opponent to less than 300 yards in 3 games in a row.
13. Cam Newton did his part in Carolina, hurting both in the air and on the ground and protecting the ball. The problem was that they could not establish the running attack, and that the defense, which came with many laurels, allowed 190 yards on the ground.
14. It was the first time all season that Miami's offensive line allowed no sacks. The offense surpassed 100 yards rushing for just the third time this year, but they're going to have to be more explosive to compete. Tua Tagovailoa played good second half.
13. Elijah Moore is slowly becoming the most entertaining player on the Jets. Joe Flacco handled the load effectively and distributed the ball well. Quincy Williams was a tackling machine. Matt Ammendola missed two field goals and the Jets remain in the doldrums.

14. With Derrick Henry injured, there is no doubt that Jonathan Taylor is the best running back in the NFL today. Balance, patience and vision to score five touchdowns in the sovereign beating the Colts gave the Bills on the road. Indy is in the fight, but the schedule is rough.
fifteen. The absences of Tremaine Edmunds and Star Lotulelei clearly impacted the Bills defense, which came in as the best in the league and was an invitation. They were overpowered in the trenches, and Josh Allen was never able to settle down and had a match to be forgotten.
16. On the surface, a win over the Jaguars shouldn't say much, but with all the surprises this year has come, that performance is a breeze of fresh air. The 49ers defense dominated and when the offense is upright, they control the pace of the game.
Katia Castorena with the report of the Los Angeles team's victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday night.
17. James Robinson is the only reliable weapon on the Jaguars offense, and with him in the thick of cotton, the Jaguars looked really bad. Jacksonville made a couple of losses and they were a penalty machine. Trademark of Urban meyer in the NFL?
18. The Bengals offense didn't have its best day at the office, but Joe Mixon was a workhorse and Evan McPherson showed his leg arrogance. The defense forced two losses and limited the running attack. Cincinnati remains strong in the fight for the playoffs.

19. The Raiders offense has turned conservative in the last three games, and has not surpassed 16 points in those meetings. Maybe Derek Carr's credit is running out and the defense was a silly penalty machine that brought Cincy to life.
twenty. Good teams overcome adversity and injuries. The Cardinals were 2-1 without Kyler Murray and now it's a bye week; good job Colt McCoy. Zach Ertz has been an important addition and the defense recorded four sacks and limited running.
twenty-one. While it is true that the defense allowed too many freedoms through the air against a backup quarterback, the main reason the Seahawks are practically eliminated from containment is the inability of their offense. If Carroll stays, Wilson leaves.
22. Not enough is being said about the leap that the Chiefs' defense has taken, which has been four games ago that does not allow rivals to exceed 17 points. Against the Cowboys, they had five sacks and limited to a powerful attack on a day in which KC's attack did not work.
23. This is not the time to be alarmed, but the Cowboys offense has suffered in two of the last three games, coincidentally they did not have Tyron Smith. As if that were not enough, Amari Cooper was not there either and they lost CeeDee Lamb in a short week.
24. The Chargers blew a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter, but the way they responded tells us everything we need to know about Justin Herbert's mettle. Austin Ekeler scored four touchdowns and won a vital game heading into the playoffs.
25. Without TJ Watt or Minkah Fitzpatrick or Joe Haden, the defense was a sieve. Although he did not have a bad game, Ben Roethlisberger is a statue and it seems difficult that the Steelers could be candidates with a pedestrian offense and from another era.

ICBL-CMC Calls for Immediate Release of Member Khurram Parvez, Landmine Survivor and Human Rights Defender Arrested in Kashmir
Khurram Parvez©PUCL
(Geneva, 30 November) – The International Campaign to Ban Landmines and Cluster Munition Coalition is calling for the immediate release of campaign member Khurram Parvez – mine ban advocate, landmine survivor, and human rights defender – detained by Indian authorities on 22 November.
Investigators from India's National Intelligence Agency (NIA), accompanied by para-military forces, broke into Mr. Parvez's home on 22 November, when he, his wife and two children were asleep. Following a four-hour search of the home, agents detained Khurram for "routine questioning". That evening Mr. Parvez's family was informed he was under arrest and would be transferred to New Delhi.
The police have reportedly charged Khurram under various sections of the colonial era "Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act". ICBL-CMC joins the strong public outcry against Mr. Parvez's arrest – as detailed in the New York Times – which appears to be in response to his work as a human rights advocate. "He is not a terrorist, he is a human rights defender" said United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders, Mary Lawlor.
"The arrest of Kashmiri activist Khurram Parvez is yet another example of how anti-terror laws are being misused to criminalize human rights work," said Amnesty International in a 23 November twitter message.
Khurram Parvez is a well known human rights campaigner in Jammu & Kashmir State. He received the Rebook Human Rights Award in 2004. The activist-scholar is a recipient of the Chevening Fellowship at the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. In 2006, he lost his leg in a landmine incident while monitoring an election in Kashmir. In 2007, as part of an ICBL delegation, he successfully advocated for a ban on antipersonnel landmine use by militant groups in Kashmir. Khurram Parvez is the Programme Coordinator for the Jammu & Kashmir Coalition for Civil Society (JKCCS). JKCCS is an information provider for the ICBL's Landmine Monitor.
Previously in September 2016, Khurram was arrested after being prevented by Indian authorities from flying to Geneva. He was subsequently held in detention for 76 days during which the authorities refused to respond to court orders for his release. Subsequently, an Indian court ruled his detention "illegal" and an "abuse of power."
"We are deeply concerned for the safety of ICBL-CMC member Khurram Parvez and disturbed by this attack on Indian civil society organizations", said ICBL-CMC Director, Hector Guerra.
"We join the Indian People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) and other human rights organizations, in calling on the Indian authorities to release Khurram immediately and establish an independent investigation on why he has been forcefully detained."
The ICBL-CMC has also conveyed its concerns and messages through a letter to the Permanent Mission of India to United Nations in Geneva.
The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

Whether they're reflecting on the "glory" of Confederate leaders, adopting classical art for their own nefarious purposes, or dreaming of America pre-1965, white supremacists are obsessed with the past. And the belief that the power of the white race is waning, coupled with a desire to reclaim its former greatness, has led to them adopting truly bizarre beliefs about history, culture, and even food.
Jared asked Elora if she could elaborate on "why we [white people] need to be connecting to the food that's best for us and healthy for us, especially in this time when everything is attacking our whole way of life and our health on every level." She responded by saying that the way she became "red pilled" was stumbling upon the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) after researching dental health.
Founded in 1999 by Sally Fallon and Mary G. Enig, the WAPF touts itself as "your source for accurate information on nutrition and health, always aiming to provide the scientific validation of traditional foodways." It is also a repository for various forms of medical quackery, vigorously condemning vaccinations, water fluoridation, and root canals, while promoting junk science like homeopathy and detoxification.
In 1931, Weston Price (the WAPF's namesake), a Cleveland dentist, began a trip around the world to study the dietary habits of local populations. Price recorded his findings and, in 1939, published them in his widely panned book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Chief among these findings was that "primitives" who did not eat modern processed food had fewer cavities or complications from childbirth than those who did.
In fact, people who ate processed food were more likely to suffer from a slew of medical problems like tuberculosis and "mental backwardness," and had narrowed dental arches and nostrils.
As Emily Matchar noted in The Atlantic, Price visited the Swiss valley of Lötschental and found that villagers "ate mostly locally produced milk and cheese on rye bread," which Price declared to be "more vitamin-filled than commercial American dairy." Price concluded that the "primitives" were healthy because of their high-fat diets consisting of meat and seafood, and recommended that others adopt this diet as well.
It also spawned the WAPF's dietary guidelines which, among other things, call for the consumption of unprocessed foods, organ meats from "pasture-fed animals," cod liver oil, copious amounts of animal fats, organic fruits and vegetables, and "full-fat milk products" — particularly raw milk and cheese. The WAPF also recommends the consumption of raw meat and raw shellfish.
To be clear, you should not consume raw — that is, unpasteurized — milk. The Food and Drug Administration clearly states that raw milk "can harbor dangerous microorganisms that can pose serious health risks" including "Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and others." The CDC found 127 outbreaks linked to raw dairy products between 1993 and 2012 which resulted in 1,909 illnesses and 144 hospitalizations.
In 2016, West Virginia lawmakers who loosened the state's regulation of raw milk made headlines after drinking some in celebration before falling ill. So far the link between raw milk and their symptoms of nausea, fever, and diarrhea remains inconclusive, however.
And consuming raw shellfish yields its own share of risks. Consider the possibility of contracting V. vulnificus from raw oysters, which can lead to infections like acute gastroenteritis.
Still, Elora uses Weston Price's findings to support her belief that white people should be eating more of these "sacred foods." She was particularly struck by how the people of Lötschental were in "perfect health" even though they consumed "raw milk and raw dairy products, raw cream, butter, and cheese," "sourdough rye bread," and meat from "cattle, sheep, and goats" including the organ meat and bones — for bone broth.
On the subject of milk, Elora went on to claim that when you pasteurize it "you pretty much destroy this wonderful, life-giving substance" and strip it of its nutrients. "And also, raw milk has lots of enzymes, and if you find yourself lactose intolerant it's probably because the lactase in the milk is gone, which helps you digest the milk," she added. Pasteurized milk is not robbed of its nutrients and does not cause lactose intolerance.
Beyond the dangerous nonsense of suggesting unhealthy fad diets and raw milk, some of Elora's comments were straight-up conspiratorial.
Both Fallon and fellow WAPF quack Dr. Joseph Mercola are prominent anti-vaxxers, and both appeared as guests on Red Ice in 2015.
Mercola has also contributed a fair amount to the hysteria over soy products. In a 2010 article he cites "thousands of studies linking soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, immune-system breakdown, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders and infertility—even cancer and heart disease." The term "soyboy" became popular on the alt-right because of the belief that consuming it feminizes men.
Unfortunately Elora is not the only white nationalist who promotes unhealthy eating habits due to a fetishization of her ancestors' lifestyles. On his radio show, David Duke said, "So when I look at the answer to me of what we're supposed to eat, the first thing I look to is what our ancestors ate." The ex-Klan leader recommended a "relatively high fat diet," particularly saturated fat.
One thread on the white supremacist forum Stormfront advocated the paleo diet. Defendu linked to the WAPF website and said a real paleo diet consists of "few or no grains," "[f]atty meat and pure (natural) fats," eggs, "[o]rgan meats like liver, heart and kidney," and bone marrow. "Judging from my internet research, successful bodybuilders have been eating similar to this for decades before the supplement boom," he concluded.
None of these people are experts on health and nutrition, and all of them are relying on the tired belief that "traditional" automatically means "better." In a world of greater life expectancy thanks to modern medicine (e.g., vaccinations), pasteurization, and a greater understanding of the human body, that clearly is not the case.

Albourne Estate's first vermouth - what is it and what to mix it with
40 Vermouth
Charlotte Harding
Published: 08:27 Monday 06 August 2018
Having never heard of vermouth before, Charlotte Harding finds out more about one created in Sussex.
Forget Aperol or gin, Alison Nightingale of Albourne Estate is hoping that vermouth is going to be the next big drink of choice.
"It is very versatile," she explains. "We wanted a drink that could be drunk on its own or used in cocktails.
"We have found many people don't really know what a vermouth is, but once they have tried it they really like it. It is about getting people to sample it and see what it is like."
Named 40 after the number of botanicals with which it has been infused, it uses many herbs and other ingredients which are grown in the English countryside.
"We tried various different botanical flavours," she says. We just experimented with different combinations so we have citrus, herbs, coffee and saffron. We started with 60 but then refined it and looked at and it went down to 40.
"We wanted that right balance of sweet, bitter and citrus notes to create something people can enjoy drinking."
The vermouth is created at Albourne Estate nestled in the South Downs.
Alison bought the vineyard in 2010 after completing a part time viticulture course at Plumpton College.
"I worked in marketing but left after I had my second child," she recalls.
"I was always interested in vineyards after visiting some boutique ones in New Zealand and Australia. When I started the course I never intended to have my own vineyard, it was just something that would get me out the house."
Over the four years, Alison fell in love with it so when she finished, along with her husband, they embarked on a search for some land.
"We looked all over as we needed the land, the buildings, the house and somewhere that was good for schools," she explains.

"We were giving up hope when this place came up which was five minutes from where we were living in Hurstpierpoint."
They planted the first vines in 2010, the first harvest was in 2013. The vineyard currently produces four still wines and four sparkling.
Vermouth is a fortified wine made from pressing wine not used in the still and sparkling wine the vineyard produces.
"We have consultants come visit us and we have an Italian one called Salvatore come and he mentioned about creating a vermouth," she says.
"Recently most of the launches from small drinks producers have been in gin, but vermouth makes much more sense for us as a wine producer as it is wine based, fits well with our range and is delicious to drink."
It uses matured Albourne Estate base wines blended with the botanical extract and sugar. It is then fortified to 18 per cent of alcohol. And 40 is one of just a handful of English variants, containing the vital bitter, aromatic wormwood ingredient required to take the vermouth name.
A legal requirement is that vermouth contains at least 75 per cent 'grape-derived' wine, which is one of the reasons why the vineyard chose to diversify into this area.
"Unlike wine it will keep for several weeks once opened because of the alcohol content, you don't have to keep it in the fridge but you can," she explains.
Alison and her team have created their own cocktail recipes including 'The English Rose' with gin, tonic water, a splash of rose water and the vermouth.
Other cocktails include the Negroni which consists of gin, Campari alongside the vermouth and the English Spritz which is one part 40 vermouth, three parts sparkling English wine such as Albourne Estate Blanc de Blancs.
"Vermouth is becoming quite big in America and the potential is huge this side of the Atlantic once people understand how and when to drink it. I believe that we are ahead of the wave in what could be the next big thing after gin."
So time to raise a glass I think.

Batts and rolls are available in widths suited to standard spacing of wall studs, and attic or floor joists. Continuous rolls can be hand-cut and trimmed to fit. They are available with or without facings. Manufacturers often attach a facing (such as kraft paper, foil-kraft paper, or vinyl) to act as a vapor barrier and/or air barrier. Batts with a special flame-resistant facing are available in various widths for basement walls where the insulation will be left exposed. A facing also helps facilitate fastening during installation. However, it's recommended that you use unfaced batts if you're reinsulating over existing insulation.
Standard fiberglass blankets and batts have a thermal resistance or R-values between R-2.9 and R-3.8 per inch of thickness. High-performance (medium-density and high-density) fiberglass blankets and batts have R-values between R-3.7 and R-4.3 per inch of thickness. See the table below for an overview of these characteristics.


Understanding the direction of markets is about determining the balance of demand for shares against the supply. When demand is outstripping supply the markets are set to trend upwards and vice versa. Below we outline a 120-year old method of doing just that and we then move on to examine what the theory says about the recent sharp setback in US (and global) stock markets.
Dow Theory's First Principle: Everyone's view is in the market and their combined views are more powerful that any individual view. That being the case, the stock market itself tends to act as the leading indicator of what lies ahead for the economy and business. Many investors have problems with this, believing that their own - often intelligent - view should be right. But they fail to understand just how many variables are involved. A Galway subscriber posted me this YouTube Video in late 2013 with the title Wisdom of the Crowd. It's an experiment in counting a jar of jellybeans and how the average guess is far more accurate than any one guess and neatly articulates my point above. It's well worth looking at the video if you have time later. Just click the link or go the Featured Article dated Nov 2013. This is the reason why - to understand the likely future direction of the market - it is pointless reading newspapers or listening to the opinions of others. All those opinions are already in the market - expressed by buying or selling - and their combined opinions are far more accurate in pointing the way ahead than any individual opinion. You just have to be able to read what the market is saying, and Dow Theory helps in that regard.
Dow Theory's Second Principle: There are, simultaneously, three movements in progress in the stock market. The main trend is referred to as the primary trend like the current bull market that re-established itself in early 2016. In the midst of any primary trend there are the inevitable reactions against that primary trend, and these are referred to as secondary movements (or secondary reactions). These are deceptive and represented by sharp declines in a bull market and sharp rallies in a bear market. Eventually, a secondary reaction becomes more than that and results in a change in the primary trend from a bull market, an upward trending market, to a bear market, a downward trending market (or vice versa). Dow Theory has a set of rules for judging when the tide has turned from primary bull market to primary bear market (and vice versa). Concurrently with the primary and secondary movements of the market are the daily movements and they represent the third type of trend or movement. Daily movements are largely irrelevant and, generally, no worthwhile inferences can be taken from them. The primary trend is key and secondary reactions must be watched closely for their potential to lead to a reversal of the primary trend. The setback in US equity markets in the past few weeks can be seen as a 'secondary reaction' or 'secondary trend' against the prevailing trend, which is the uptrend re-established in early 2016.
Dow Theory's Third Principle: That the trend in the Dow Industrials Index must be confirmed by a similar trend in the Dow Transports Index. Equally, a possible change in the trend from a primary bull market to a primary bear market (or vice versa) must be confirmed by both indexes.
It's a wonderfully simple, elegant theory. And its track record is good. It's not a silver bullet for timing markets, but it does offer an intelligent and objective reading of what the market's view is and, more times than not, it points to changes in the underlying market trend. For example, in November 2007, Dow Theory issued a 'Sell' signal well ahead of the major damage inflicted by the global credit crisis. Indeed, one might say that the market foresaw the global credit crisis. On the bullish side, on 23rd March 2009, Dow Theory signaled that the deep bear market was likely over. That was within two weeks of the bottom of that bear market. Few media commentators understood the implications of the change in trend at that time - the market was signaling better times ahead, and the market got it right! And where the US stock market goes, global stock markets tend to follow, so the technical indicator, Dow Theory, has huge relevance beyond the US stock markets.
In terms of what the indicator is saying presently, the severe and sharp weakness witnessed in markets in the first two weeks in February 2018 qualifies as a secondary reaction (decline) against the prevailing uptrend. But, it's important to understand that under Dow Theory the uptrend remains in place until proven otherwise. As Charles Dow highlighted over a century ago a secondary reaction (or trend) does not mean the primary trend - in this case the uptrend - has changed. Dow Theory is simply flagging the possibility of a change in trend. So, we are on watch.
There are a couple of additional rules for when a Dow Theory 'Sell' signal on US equity markets is actually triggered, and we follow these rules for subscribers and report any Dow Theory 'Sell' or 'Buy' signals in our weekly Newsletter. This 'Timing the Markets' service is in addition to our normal service of providing research on individual stocks and listed funds (investment trusts and exchange-traded funds) that we recommend for purchase for sound long-term investing.

In the late fifties a significant change occurred: chapels of rest were being introduced by more and more funeral firms and relatives no longer had to have the coffin brought into the home or kept at the hospital until the day of the funeral. By the sixties the multitude of urban undertakers was dwindling rapidly, due mainly to the proprietors reaching retirement age with no children to take their businesses and, therefore, no inclination to spend capital on providing chapels of rest. Many other firms continued their joinering work but abandoned the role of undertaker
