The history of Mead is as long and rich and adventurous as the beverage itself. Mead is thought to be the oldest alcoholic beverages enjoyed by man. It was most likely discovered by accident, when some thirsty hunter-gathers discovered an upturned beehive filled with rainwater. They drank the sweet water completely unaware of what fermentation and alcohol were and experienced the first intoxication. Likely it was in a quest to replicate this experience the art of mead-making was begun. Unfortunately, fermentation was not understood until the mid 1800�s. Consequently, two things occurred: First, fermentation was very unpredictable. And second, fermentation took on mystical and religious qualities.

A Mountain Course is an extremely important course for any pilot flying in British Columbia. In the Pacific Region, the combined effect of the great mountain system and the adjacent Pacific Ocean lead to some extremely changeable flying conditions. To an unprepared pilot, these conditions can produce a hazardous flying environment. Our course is designed to provide a licensed pilot with a level of skill and proficiency to fly safely in mountainous terrain. It is a requirement for all Club members planning flights through the mountains with Club aircraft to complete a Mountain Flying Course. Call the VFC office to add your name to the list for the next Mountain Ground School course.

My Mountain Flying Experience
By Barry Meek, from the July 2006 Patrician
Barely 100 feet from the side of the mountain, I held the controls with both hands. It took both to ride the turbulence. The hot wind was quartering from about my 8 o'clock position, blasting against the rock to the right of the Cessna. The battle required counter inputs, left aileron, right rudder. Hard.
But the lift! Whoa, what a ride. Like an elevator. Twelve, fourteen, even eighteen hundred feet per minute on the VSI. Quite impossible for a 150 at full gross.
In the passenger seat, John was leaning toward me as he stared out the right side at the wall of granite. In his best "cool" voice he remarked, "You like to keep it in tight to the mountain don't you." I think he was a bit concerned.
The departure westbound from the grass at the Hope airport was almost directly into the gale. With a mere 200 feet under the wheels, I swung to the left, and quickly picked up the mechanical lift against the mountain on the downwind. Predictably, we shot up to a thousand feet in less than thirty seconds, and we kept climbing.
"It makes sense to use the wind and thermals as best I can in this airplane." John was listening, but still concentrating his attention on the rock and trees right outside his door.
Flying against the mountains, cruising the tops of ridges and getting under the cumulus clouds is glider pilot mentality. I've never flown a glider, but have learned a lot from the people who do. The Vancouver Soaring Association is active at the Hope, BC airport in summer, and for two seasons, I flew their towplanes, Cessna L-19s, the bird-dogs. Leftovers from combat duties in Korea and Vietnam, many L-19s have found retirement with operations such as the VSA. They're powerful, agile, and tough. Bulletproof tough. Some of us pilots with low tailwheel time can be thankful for that.
Towing gliders takes concentration, and sometimes sheer determined nerve. Keep the speed at 75, on takeoff, climb and descent. It's especially critical in the climb with a glider tied on the back. The L-19's wingspan is about half that of the glider, so don't expect the poor glider pilot to enjoy the same manoeuverability. He also has no control over his speed being at the mercy of the pilot more than 100 feet in front of him. Sometimes over my headphones would come the excited command, "Slow it down would ya!" Other times it was, "Take it in closer... CLOSER!"
Mountain flying was quickly, albeit unofficially, becoming part of my piloting skills, whether I liked it or not. Flying lessons from the masters of taming the thermals. Glider pilots always amazed me. They routinely soared to the flight levels, cruised incredible distances for many hours at a time, then returned to the same 400 feet of turf they started from, all without an engine. Full bladders and empty stomachs more often than not dictated the length of their flights.
As the mechanics of lift and sink began to make sense to me, I experimented with my own aircraft. My Renegade ultralight with a 53 horsepower engine needed all the help it could get in the climb. I discovered plenty out there, even following the hawks and seagulls to the best rising air.
A hang glider pilot taught me "ridge running" while flying through the mountains in my 150. Soon it became second nature to take advantage of what the weather gods provide to improve the performance of the aircraft. I practice regularly.
My friend John is quite unaccustomed to reading and flying the thermals. He has no reason to since his plane has a turbocharged engine, and no shortage of horsepower. He regularly cruises above 10,000 feet and has no trouble getting there. Like so many pilots, myself included before exposure to the glider fraternity. John hadn't even considered there was help for his horsepower in the thermals and turbulence. Horsepower rules! The rule most pilots live by.
I'm not ashamed to admit to never having an approved mountain flying lesson. There are dozens of very competent, well qualified instructors who could show me a thing of two about it. And maybe someday I'll step up to that plate. So far so good though, and I owe much of what I know to the sailplane and hang glider pilots I worked with. You have to admire guys like that. They're guys, and women too, who challenge the laws of gravity, and win. They put nature to work controlling the gift of lift that's there for the taking. We powered pilots can do it too, just not to the same extent. Getting a cruise speed of 130 out of a Cessna 150 tickles me right up the ASI.
There's no sense being in a hurry since my flying is pretty much all for recreational reasons these days. The journey is the destination. Time spent in the air, flying, is like savouring the chocolate cake or a glass of cold, sweet wine. Why would you want it to end. The trends today are for more horsepower, more speed, more avionics. It all comes with a price, and so far has priced too many people out of flying. Remember when Arlington and Oshkosh were gathering places for simple, experimental, homebuilt, fun aircraft? Today we see only remnants of that era there. But some of us remain the diehards who enjoy and prefer the old ways, the old days. I'll always be excited about getting more from my Cessna 150. But it's a bigger kick when it comes free. We just need to follow the simple rules of nature.

denied social security claimIf the Social Security Administration (SSA) denies your disability benefit application, you may be unsure of what to do next. What most people do not know is that the office denies many valid claims at the initial application level. However, upon proper appeal, the SSA reverses its decisions in a substantial number of cases. Downers Grove Social Security lawyer Mary L. Collins has practiced disability law for over 30 years, helping individuals obtain deserved benefits in both the public and private sector. In her Social Security Disability law practice, every client receives her utmost personal attention and care as she works to obtain results. As soon as you are denied, call attorney Mary L. Collins for a free consultation.
Even if you do not call for representation, if you feel you cannot work, you should appeal the denial. Do not let the appeal time pass. This can cause a loss of benefits.
The first denial of Social Security Disability or SSI benefits is appealed by a Request for Reconsideration. If a Request for Reconsideration is denied, the next appeal is a Request for Hearing. Each appeal is due within a set number of days from the denial, so it is extremely important to call and discuss your claim. Mary L. Collins and her staff can explain the process and what should be done to appeal. Do not miss the deadline. There are limited exceptions available to those who miss a deadline due to "good cause," but your best chance at success is to meet all deadlines at the first opportunity.
To qualify for Social Security Disability or SSI, the SSA considers many factors, including medical records and history, age, education and work experience. At the first two stages, the initial review and the reconsideration, the SSA may not have obtained all the medical evidence. They may not have considered your prior work properly. They may not have paid attention to your medical diagnosis, or they may not have sufficient evidence to support the symptoms that you claim prevent you from working. We start by reviewing their records and then through discussions with you, we develop the claim with the help of your medical treatment providers. It is important to discuss any and all medical problems, even if you do not feel some of the diagnosis are relevant to your ability to work. Mary L. Collins and her staff will do all they can to develop the claim and obtain the benefits if they feel there is merit.
Many claims need to go to a hearing before an administrative law judge. There is a long wait between your request for a hearing and the actual hearing date. The wait can be 12 months or longer. The hearing, however, is the only time where you can offer evidence and testimony in person. We can help you tell your story by using medical records, your testimony and statements or testimony from friends and family.
If the hearing is denied, there is an appeal to the Appeal Council. This is a very lengthy process, but if you have been denied at the hearing despite the presentation of a very good claim, the Appeal Council step must be taken. The Appeal Council can review the claim, they may remand the claim for another or supplemental hearing, or totally reverse the decision of the judge.
Mary L. Collins is not your typical lawyer. Her firm has a unique compassion for individuals whose lives have presented challenges that others may never have to face. Mary gives each client personal attention, care and respect. Her clients notice the difference, and you will, too. Contact Downers Grove disability attorney Mary L. Collins to schedule a free consultation. If you cannot travel to her office due to physical limitations, she will do her best to make accommodations for you. Serving the counties of DuPage, Cook, Kane, Kendall and Will, there is no charge unless your claim is successful.

John Hoopes
In Pocatello, Idaho, 1957-1963, studying English and American literature; there inspired by Ed Dorn, Black Mountain poet in residence, to start Wild Dog magazine, which flourished through twenty-one issues with Gino Sky and Drew Wagnon. Escaped Idaho for San Francisco in 1964, settled in Haight-Ashbury just as that revolution began: two subterranean decades passed in Marin county during that transformative time: raising two children; work with John Lilly's Janus project on dolphin communication led to writing the earliest versions of The Dolphins of Oceanus; also began investigating California/San Francisco history and writing first version of San Francisco series of novels; also wrote hundreds of pages of narrative poetry, wrote and staged several plays with local community theater. Graduated at last from the counter-culture to discover Robert Ennis and Tayu in Sebastopol, three critical years studying there. Then remarried and moved to Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico, where he lived seven years, learning to build houses Mexican style and communing with the locals of the barrio. Re-patriated in 2001 in Sacramento, private tutoring English, Spanish and Algebra weekdays and writing novels weekends, seven books in six years. Writing slowed severely in 2007 when it became necessary to rescue and raise four grandchildren, who still live with him and his wife Elaine in Sacramento to the present day.

Day: 26 September 2009
What Do the Sun and Moon Have to Do with Edwards Ferry?
26 September 2009 Craig Swain American Civil War, Edwards Ferry, Potomac Crossings
A good military operations plan considers the times of sunrise, sunset, and the nighttime illumination offered by the moon. I see no reason why a historian approaching the study of an operation or action shouldn't also consult these factors. (Since the data is often easy to come by, I "deduct points" from any review if an author fails to address these factors!)
The following chart was derived from data from the U.S. Naval Observatory specifying the year as 1863 and the place as Leesburg, Virginia:
The day of the month of June is listed on the far left column, and data for that particular day is listed on the row to the right of the day. For those who are not familiar with the abbreviations across the top, here the translation:
BMNT – Beginning Morning Nautical Twilight. The sun is 12 to 6 degrees below the horizon. Weather and other factors aside, the first traces of illumination from the sun are apparent. One can start making out ground objects at BMNT, but stars are still visible.
BMCT – Beginning Morning Civil Twilight. Defined as when the sun reaches 6 degrees below the horizon. Illumination increases to allow one to fully recognize objects on the ground, but only the brightest stars are visible.
Sunrise – Defined as when the sun is visible arising over an unobstructed horizon – not over terrain such as hills.
Sunset – Similarly, when the sun disappears below an unobstructed horizon.
EECT – End of Evening Civil Twilight – The sun passes beyond 6 degrees below the horizon. As with morning, between sunset and EECT, illumination allows one to see objects on the ground, and some stars are visible.
EENT – End of Evening Nautical Twilight – The sun passes beyond 12 degrees below the horizon. At this point, no ground objects are made out without artificial light or moonlight.
Moonrise and moon set are defined similarly to sunrise and set. Note the table above adjusted the times for some moon sets to correlate the span of the moon's visibility "overnight" for a particular day.
Moon phase – Traditional terms used to define the phase of the moon.
% Illum – Is the percentage of the moon's surface that is illuminated. From an operational standpoint, this gives an indication, again weather aside, of how much reflected light will aid those operating at night.
Those definitions set, the table offers some indication of the working daylight hours and the impact of night operations around Edwards Ferry in June 1863. Based on the data, the earliest that soldiers might start work was roughly 4:15 a.m. each morning. The terrain east of Edwards Ferry features a few hills, but nothing that would greatly obstruct the horizon. However, to the west are the Catoctin Range, just outside Leesburg. Given that on the horizon, probably the latest soldiers might work without aid of lanterns or candles was 8:00 p.m.
The moon had risen before sunset on each day reviewed. However, the moon offered very little illumination over the nights of June 20-24, and sat well before sunrise. On the vital nights of the crossing, June 25 – 27, the moon sat a few hours after midnight. Of course cloud cover from the rains likely suppressed any illumination offered by the waxing moon. Thus the infantry who marched beyond the bridges along the tow-path and towards Poolesville, Maryland were not offered much natural lighting.
Of note, on the night of June 20-21, when the engineers placed the first pontoon bridge, the moon sat about three hours after sunset and offered only 17% illumination (assuming no cloud cover). Recall from the timeline that the order to place the bridge was issued at 5:20 pm on June 20. The bridge was completed at 9:45 am the next day. And this occurred while the Potomac was rising!
Perhaps to elaborate on that point with a visual, from my files of "photos that didn't work out too well" is one taken on June 16, 2007 at 8:47 pm of White's Ferry:
White's Ferry at Twilight
For the record, the Naval Observatory's data for that day provides a sunset of 8:39 pm and a EECT of 9:11 pm. The moon was a waxing crescent with only 8% illumination, and sat at 11:15 pm that night. The camera, my simple point and shoot, had no extra filters and the flash of course did little good. The ferry boat is visible to the right and the ramp in the distant center. About the only thing standing out are the headlights of vehicles and a few on the boat.
Can you imagine walking across a swaying bridge in that lighting condition? How about building one?
Edwards Ferry – The Weather
26 September 2009 26 September 2009 Craig Swain American Civil War, Edwards Ferry, Potomac Crossings
When I started posting information about the June 1863 crossing at Edwards Ferry, I planed at least one post dealing with the weather and its effects on operations. Logically this discussion should have occurred early in the sequence, but I was just not happy with the source material or data. Trouble is, while there are multitudes of first hand accounts that describe the weather, none offer the meteorological data that I would prefer. I didn't want to simply say it rained on a given day, but rather what time of day it rained and how much. And even more important with regard to the bridging, how high was the river cresting.
At first I figured detailed data from the Naval Observatory (Washington, D.C.) might suffice. After all, the station is only some 25 miles, straight line, from Leesburg, Virginia. But common sense told me to validate that as a data set. So I started comparing both contemporary weather and historical data from other time periods. As I figured, there is enough variance to the samplings to invalidate the assumption that D.C. weather could be a constant with regard to approximating the weather at Leesburg. Furthermore, the river stage in D.C. is certainly not a good measure of that upstream of the Great Falls of the Potomac. That said, until I can locate some weather station reports that provide the data I prefer, all I can really point to are the first hand accounts which mention the rains.
Colonel Moses Lakeman offered an itinerary for the movements of the 3rd Maine (Ward's 2nd Brigade, Birney's First Division, III Corps) over the days in involving the crossing:
June 16th. Fair. Started at 5.30 o'clock A.M., and marched about three miles to rifle pits.
June 17th. Fair. Started at 3.30 o'clock P.M., and marched about three miles in rear of Centreville.
June 18th. Rain. Remained in bivouac. Smart rain in afternoon and evening. Lt.-Col. Burt left on fifteen days' sick leave.
June 19th. Rain. Started at 3 o'clock P.M.; marched to Gum Spring; distance marched ten miles; a very severe march on account of rain, mud and darkness; arrived at 10.30 P.M.
June 2oth. Rainy. Remained in bivouac. Lts. Day, Anderson, Gilman and Blake missing, supposed to be captured by guerillas.
June 21st. Rainy. Remained in bivouac until 3.30 o'clock P.M., when we changed position to front. Heavy firing in direction of Aldie.
June 22d. Fair. Remained in bivouac until 5 P.M. Part of regiment went on picket, rest moved to rear on reserve. Sat on court martial on case of Major D of N. Y. Vols. at Col. Berdan's headquarters.
June 23d. Fair. Remained in bivouac.
June 24th. Fair. Remained in bivouac.
June 25th. Rainy. Regiment relieved from picket; struck bivouac at 6 o'clock A.M., and marched to Monocacy, where we arrived at 10 P.M. ; distance marched about twenty-four miles.
June 26th. Rainy. Started at 6 o'clock A.M.; marched to near Point of Rocks; distance six miles. Division officer of day.
June 27th. Rainy. Started at 10 o'clock A.M.; passed through Jefferson and bivouacked near Middletown; distance about twelve miles.
June 28th. Fair. Started at 8 o'clock A.M. ; passed through Middletown and Frederick to Walkerville, distance about sixteen miles, and bivouacked for the night.
June 29th. Rainy. Started at 6 o'clock A.M.; passed through Walkerville, Woodsborough, Middleburg and Taneytown, distance marched about eighteen miles, and bivouacked for night.
June 3oth. Rain. Started at 2.30 o'clock p. M. and marched to near Emmitsburg; distance eight miles. [1]
Lakeman records nine days of rain of the fifteen sampled above. In fact, after three days of fair weather, when the 3rd Maine moved on June 25 along with the rest of the III Corps, to Edwards Ferry it rained. And the rain did not let up until the 27th. Recall the III Corps was among the first to cross the pontoon bridges.
Another account of the weather, with a little more detail, comes from Asa W. Bartlett of the 12th New Hampshire (Carr's First Brigade, Humphreys' Second Division, III Corps). Speaking of the march to Gum Springs, Virginia on June 19, he wrote in the Regimental history:
It rained hard during the night, and the next day's march of twelve miles to Gum Springs was through mud and water instead of heat and dust. During the day the mercury fell thirty or forty degrees, and so great and sudden a change of temperature in a few hours, followed by a cold storm that set in just as the troops had pitched their tents, caused much suffering during the night….[2]
The temperature change mentioned is worth noting. Bartlett further describes the march along to Edwards Ferry and the "Tow-path March":
From Gum Springs to Edward's Ferry, a distance of fifteen miles, the troops were hurried forward, with only a few five-minute halts to take breath. Immediately crossing the Potomac at 5 p.m. on a pontoon bridge… the division at once entered upon the famous "tow-path march," … ten to twelve miles further to somewhere near the Mouth of the Monocacy river…. About dark it began to rain, and soon the path was but a narrow stretch of mud, trodden by many thousand feet into mortar-like consistency….[3]
Bartlett continued to describe the march in rather descriptive prose, and offering some judgment on the choice of the tow-path by General Humphreys. Lakeman's itinerary, written probably at the time of the campaign, is not specific as to the time of day the rains arrived on the crossing day. Bartlett's account is specific, but it was written decades after the campaign (although assembled from diaries and other first hand recollections).
On both marching days highlighted in the accounts, the units made good distance – 10 to 12 miles on June 19, 24 to 27 miles on the crossing day. The evidence that the rain affected the rate of march on the crossing day lies in the time line. Lakeman stated the June 25 march took some sixteen hours. Bartlett did not state the time the 12th New Hampshire began the march that day, but indicated going into bivouac between midnight and 1 a.m. the next day.
While the rains certainly resulted in a muddy path for those marching, the precipitation also offered some problems for those maintaining the bridge. For a floating pontoon bridge, as the water level rises, the anchor points had to be reinforced, and the abutments had to be raised. As the river rose, the points joining the bridge to the shore had to be progressively moved up and away from the bank, otherwise the bridge would not float above the rising water and become swamped. Conversely as the waters fell, the abutments and anchor points had to be adjusted back to prevent loose swings and grounding of pontoons.[4]
Another issue presented by rising waters was drift wood. Military manuals of the day prescribed different barriers to deflect and collect debris in the current. Estacades, one type recommended, were barriers formed by logs across the river. These estacades came in fixed or floating types, but required careful placement and much maintenance. [5] However, there is no mention of any estacades or even activities to deal with drift debris from the Army's engineers.
A personal observation I can offer is based on crossing several times at modern day White's Ferry, north of Leesburg. On most days, the ride across is a peaceful event, with barely a few moments to take in the river. However in the winter of 2008, one of our crossings took some fifteen minutes, as the crew stopped repeatedly to pull debris – and in one case an entire tree – from the ferry's cable. The Potomac can be a messy river after heavy rains.
Potomac at Whites Ferry During High Water
In summary, while I cannot offer specific data as to how much rain fell or how high the Potomac River rose, clearly the weather had an impact on the crossing.

The Livermore Valley has an ever-growing roster of wineries, benefiting from a climate that supports a wide range of grape varietals. Look hard enough, and one can find nearly every style of wine represented. The Rhone style of wine raises the complexity bar a bit, but Richard Dixon, owner/winemaker at Les Chenes Estate Vineyards is up to the challenge!
Please note that this winery is now closed.
The Les Chenes tasting room is way, way, way out Tesla Road. OK, maybe a quarter of a mile past Eagle Ridge and Cedar Mountain. About an extra 3 minutes of travel, but upon arrival the feeling of French countryside is palpable. Rolling hills stretching out as far as the eye can see, some contented livestock in the pastures, and rows of grapevines completing the scene.
The Les Chenes tasting room is a bit of everything! There's a tasting bar for those who prefer a standing tasting, but the focus is on a more relaxed, seated tasting. There are cafe tables and chairs placed around the room, providing just enough privacy for conversation without feeling isolated. For those days with moderate weather, there are outdoor tables, too!
Beside serving amazing Rhone style wine, Les Chenes sets itself apart by serving a cheese pairing with every tasting. The cheeses change frequently, but in our multiple visits, we have never been disappointed. Nor have we ever tasted these cheeses anywhere else. All the these cheeses (and more) are available for purchase. Yet another reason to keep a cooler in the trunk. The cool cheese can keep the cool wine company!
We chose a strategically-placed table and settled in for our tasting. First up was their 2014 Blanc de Maison. Richard explained that "House White" meant that he could serve any white varietal without changing the name. This time he was pouring a Sauvignon Blanc, which offered great minerality and island fruit notes. It was paired with a light Champagne Chardonnay Cheddar cheese that played off the minerality really well.
Next up was a new release, their 2013 Estate Mourvedre. Richard told us that this was inspired by the wines of the Bandol region of France. We told him that we loved the cigar and spice notes. This was paired with a Jalapeno Peppadew cheese. We weren't familiar with this style of cheese, and several of us found it a bit too spicy for wine tasting. That meant more for me!
T he 2014 Estate Syrah was paired with the Horseradish/Bacon Cheddar cheese. The plum and cherry notes in the wine nicely balanced the richness of the bits of actual bacon in the cheese. Their 2012 Heritage Rosso, from Livermore Valley Zinfandel grapes, was paired with a Gouda with smoked bacon cheese that stood up to the rich fruit and balanced pepper of the wine.
Our final taste was their Estate Syrah Dessert Wine. Paired with a delightful Strawberry Chardonnay cheese, this classic Port-style wine showed amazing dimensionality and a very pleasant, lingering finish. What a great way to close a tasting flight!
It was finally time to leave France and return to Livermore, so we made our purchases, said our thanks, and set off into the setting sun. One more winery on the agenda!

Every sentence we speak reveals something about who we are as humans. Even people speaking the same language have distinct dialects that are rooted in their history and culture, so whether you say "soda" or "pop" may reveal what country and what region you are from. What you call the night before Halloween may tie to your religious beliefs. What kind of slang you use may stem from the habits of the community you grew up in.
Language also sheds light on connections between us, and our natural environments. Plants and animals that are given names in any language are generally those that are relevant to people speaking the language. The relevance comes from the way that the people have interacted with the animals and plants, in some cases over centuries.
While we might think of language as having a fixed set of words and rules that we learn in school, in fact language is always evolving. New words emerge while others fall out of use, and pronunciation changes over time as does the meaning of words. People also borrow words from languages other than their own to complement their own lexicon.
Our ability to learn language develops when we are young. Sounds heard as infants, or even in the womb, set the stage for language learning later. Baby cooing is the result of babies' analysis of the languages spoken to them. Babies are practicing the pronunciation and recognition of sounds that they need for communication. Children exposed to multiple languages early in life, and growing up multilingual, develop enhanced cognitive functions, such as the ability to focus and ignore distractions.
Languages are as diverse as the communities that speak them and each of the approximately 7,000 world languages is a testimony to a community's unique human experience. Yet, many languages around the world are endangered and as many as half of the world's languages could go silent by the end of this century. The reasons why are complex but boil down to social inequalities and disrespect for others.
Linguist Gabriela Perez Baez researches Zapotec languages, which are indigenous to Mexico. Learn more about her work to recover an endangered Zapotec language. Watch the "Smithsonian Science How" webcast on Thursday, May 25, 2017 entitled Recovering Voices - Sustaining Global Linguistic Diversity (airs at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. EDT). She will answer your questions live (in both English and Spanish), and you can get teaching resources to use before or after the live show.
That's really cool to know that people who are bilingual are better at focusing. Different languages are very interesting. It is also very interesting to know that we can tell where a person is from just by them talking.
because even though they are from different areas, the language could still be the same. The spanish language crosses many different continents and many people still speak it.

Germany approves the sale of six Meko A200 frigates to Egypt, worth 2.3 billion euros
April 5, 2019 May 31, 2019 Darek Liam	0 Comments Egypt
The Germany-based Bild newspaper on 3 April reported that the Budestag's Budget Committee gave its approval for an export credit guarantee for the six vessels, making it highly likely that the deal will go ahead.
The export credit provides guarantees of up to 2.3 billion euros for the transaction.
The deal which was first reported in November 2018 reported that a contract between Egypt and ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) was signed in mid-September and was initially for four corvette versions of the vessle however, it was increased to four frigate-sized ships valued at 2 billion Euros.
However, that same month the deal was apparently scuppered as Saudi Arabia was financing the majority of the contract. In late October 2018, the deal was halted by Germany in response to the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Egypt acquired additional Gowind 2500 multi-mission corvettes from France's Naval Group to cover operational gaps.

Document Security Strategies & Best Practices
1 Password Protection
1.1 Best Practices for Password Protection
2 Encryption
2.1 Best Practices for Encryption
3 Document Tracking
3.1 Best Practices for Document Tracking
4 Digital Rights Management (DRM)
Keeping sensitive documents secure from unauthorized access and theft in today's digital world is not as easy as locking the file cabinet for physical documents. Even if you take every possible security measure to protect your digital documents, there are still potential risks of unauthorized access and use, which may result in data theft or information leakage.
There are several approaches to ensure the security of sensitive documents. Here are a couple of document security strategies and best practices:
Passwords are often the first line of defense and the most straightforward security measure you can take to protect sensitive information. While passwords are not a foolproof way to keep your documents safe from unauthorized access or data theft, they put an extra step in the requirements to open a document for anyone who wants to access a document.
Password protection can be used to allow recipients to access protected documents or to allow them to make changes to the information. Communicating and remembering the different passwords for different files might be a cumbersome step. And, depending on the channels you use to communicate your passwords, they may spread further than intended. You will not have control over the unauthorized sharing of passwords, which may result in unauthorized access to the document. Nevertheless, password protection is one of the easiest steps you can take to deter improper document access.
Best Practices for Password Protection
To be effective, passwords must be long and complicated.
Change your password regularly.
Avoid using easy-to-guess passwords such as your SSN or date of birth.
Create a password that has upper and lower case letters as well as special characters.
Encryption means the scrambling or encoding of information so that it can't be easily understood, even if it is intercepted in transit. A secure key is used to encrypt (lock) a document and only intended recipients with access to the private key can decrypt (unlock) or view the information. It ensures document security by preventing unauthorized access to information at rest or in transit. Though encryption doesn't guarantee end-to-end security, it adds a layer of protection that makes it difficult for unintended users to view the information.
Best Practices for Encryption
Keep your encryption key private and safe.
Choose the right document encryption tools.
Regularly assess the performance of tools.
Train your employees.
How many times after sharing a document are you able to determine who has seen it, who has forwarded it and to whom? Even when you share a document with a closed group of recipients, you will lose control over the document after sharing. Anyone could leak the password and encryption key details, and you wouldn't know about it.
This is where document tracking can help ensure document security. Document tracking solutions help track the movement of documents and indicate whether they are spread beyond the intended group of recipients. You will have access to details like who is accessing or printing your document so that you can take swift action or revoke access if there seems to be dubious activity.
Best Practices for Document Tracking
When using document tracking, make sure to include other security features, such as controlling editing, copying, and printing of content.
Choose the right document tracking solution.
Controlling who accesses your documents is only half the battle. The other half is about controlling how the documents are accessed, for how long they can be accessed, and what happens to documents after authorized users access them. And, this is where DRM will help you.
DRM uses encryption to enforce granular permissions on your documents, such as the last date, time, device, and location of access, as well as the number of times it was viewed. With DRM, you can enforce rights regarding the viewing, editing, copying, printing, distribution, as well as dictate the expiry date of the document.
Choose a document DRM solution that works both online and offline.
DRM controls must be capable of being reset.
DRM solutions must be compatible with common computing platforms.
Document security strategies range from necessary measures such as passwords to advanced systems like DRM. Your approach will depend on your business needs, the sensitivity level of your data, the budget, and the type of access restrictions you want. However, document security should always be accompanied by staff training and awareness about security. The document security tools and policies will only make sense if your employees understand their importance.

Now that I have gone from E510 to E5 and added in the 12-60 and 50-200 lenses ahead of a 3 week trip to South Africa, it occurs to me that perhaps I should look at getting some specific insurance rather than just relying on the general coverage - especially as partner has her E-PL1 to play with as well.
So what is a sensible camera insurance package and who are regarded as the better providers?
I've used Aaduki (http://www.aaduki.com/) for about three years, they seem pretty switched on and T & Cs are reasonable (some camera insurers are a joke).
Most of all pricing last time I checked wasn't too bad IMHO.
Thanks Huw. I will check it out.
Does anybody have experience of making claims through Aaduki? It is one thing for a company to offer an attractive deal when the money is flowing from customer to insurer but the proof of the pudding is when you want it to flow the other way round!
Good point John, I've never had to make a claim so I would hope they would stand by their T & Cs.
I can say that they were also strongly recommended on the Pentax User forum that I use to frequent and these users included some semi pro / pro if I remember rightly.
Have you thought about extending your home insurance cover to provide cover for 'personal effects' whilst away from the home? You need to check cameras are covered under this section, and that cover is sufficient.
May be cheaper upgrading an existing home policy than specifying your equipment on separate travel insurance cover?

The new authentication system works similarly to the one found on Outlook and Signal iOS apps.
WhatsApp's new feature lets you unlock it through Face ID, Touch ID
1 min read . Updated: 04 Feb 2019, 06:26 PM IST Livemint
The new biometric option is available on WhatsApp for iPhone build version 2.19.20
It doesn't lock individual WhatsApp chats—it just lets you open WhatsApp with Face ID and Touch ID
WhatsAppiPhone
The much-awaited biometric unlocking feature of WhatsApp is finally here, on WhatsApp for iPhone. The build version 2.19.20 has received this feature which lets you add an extra layer of security to the application through Face ID and Touch ID. The new authentication system works similarly to the one found on Outlook and Signal iOS apps.
This, however, doesn't lock individual WhatsApp chats—it just lets you open WhatsApp with your biometrics. It also lets you view WhatsApp notifications with the body of the message as well as receive or decline WhatsApp calls.
To enable this feature, you need to open WhatsApp and then go to Settings --> Privacy --> Screen lock. Now you'll find the option to let you unlock WhatsApp through Face ID or Touch ID. Further, you get to choose to be prompted about this immediately or after an interval of a minute, 15 minutes or an hour.
To start using this feature you'll have to update your WhatsApp to the latest version (build v2.19.20). Depending on your settings, it will be updated automatically or manually. To manually update the app, go to the App Store, search for WhatsApp and check if your device has received the update. The feature is still in the rolling out phase, so it might take a while for your device to receive the update. WhatsApp for iPhone is 137.7MB in size and is compatible with iPhone models running iOS 8.0 and above.
The feature is also rumoured to make its way to Android devices soon.

The rate of people dying from bowel cancer in the UK has plummeted by more than 30% in the past 20 years, according to new figures released by Cancer Research UK.
Most patients are aged 50 or over when diagnosed with bowel cancer. Around half of these cases are preventable. One of the best ways to reduce the risk of the disease is to try and maintain a healthy lifestyle by cutting down on red and processed meat, keeping a healthy weight, not smoking and keeping active.
In 2014, almost 41,300 people were diagnosed with bowel cancer of whom 22,844 were men and 18,421 women. Latest figures show that 8,613 men and 7,152 women died from bowel cancer in 2015. While deaths from the disease continue to decline bowel cancer is still the second most common cause of cancer death in the UK accounting for 10% of all cancer deaths.


If the family is so overwhelmed by the care that they are considering placement, this threat should trigger the GCM to do a caregiver assessment immediately. If the GCM is called to relocate an older person and the underlying cause seems to be caregiver burnout, this can be another trigger for a caregiver assessment. If caregiver abuse is suspected, a caregiver assessment is a critical immediate tool. This is a situation where the GCM must contact Adult Protective Services, following their own state's laws. Elder abuse can be triggered by caregiver stress in some situations. Depression that reaches a clinical level in a caregiver can be predictive of elder abuse of an elderly client can prompt a GCM to do a caregiver assessment. You should also do a geriatric depression scale at the same time. Use the GDS and the caregiver assessment to help both the caregiver and the care receiver at the same time.

One year later: The new life of the old Onion Creek flood plain
Since 1999, the city of Austin has been working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to buy homeowners out of the Onion Creek flood zone. Last year, when the Watershed Protection Department completed the buyout program, 813 houses had been removed out of harm's way.
Although 10 homeowners refused the buyout offer, Leah Gibson with the Watershed Protection Department told the Environmental Commission at its July 17 meeting that the area is now transformed into 190 acres of parkland and 100 acres of recreation area, including 31 pavilions and miles of street that has either been removed or converted into trails.
Called the Onion Creek Metropolitan Park at Yarrabee Bend, the park officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 22 and the maintenance of the land will now be under the Parks and Recreation Department's jurisdiction.
There are, however, some unique challenges that come along with managing land that was once residential. "As people move away, the fruit trees and landscaping trees are all left behind," said Gibson. Not all of those trees, she explained, are suitable for a Texas climate, and in the wild, sometimes "these trees decide they're going to give up." When they do, that requires the parks department to have a robust tree management system in place to remove those that become roadblocks. As for other common residential vegetation like bamboo and ligustrum, "that stuff kind of gets let loose."
Beyond the challenges associated with integrating non-native plants into a natural Central Texas habitat, Gibson said that it can be difficult for people to leave their homes. "To some people, they're always going to have that tie with that space," which often prompts initiatives like community gardens. Unfortunately, after decades of existence underneath concrete foundations, the soils are not always ready to support life, which can cause frustrations, said Gibson.
However, both the parks department and the Watershed Protection Department feel that it is important to integrate the wishes of the surrounding residents and former homeowners into the planned maintenance and activation of the park. To better understand what the surrounding community wants from the new park space, Gibson says that her team has worked to receive community feedback on park management.
The four main areas of concern were security after dark, management of the homeless population, illegal dumping and fallen trees.
To help provide solutions to these issues as well as provide more amenities and programs in the park, the city is reaching out to form private partnerships with organizations like Go Austin/Vamos Austin (GAVA), the Sustainable Food Center, the Onion Creek Park Neighborhood Association and the Austin Parks Foundation. Gibson said that the city is also working with the Austin Police Department to establish park curfews and coordinating with Austin Resource Recovery for regular debris sweeps of the area.
Although progress to create a park that is safe, easily accessible and popular with the neighborhood is well underway, Gibson told commissioners, "We know that this is an ongoing conversation."
Commissioners Andrew Creel, Mary Ann Neely, Brian Smith and Kevin Ramberg were absent.

A/V Integration Powerhouse AVI-SPL Turns Focus To Services
Professional and managed services offerings that go wide and deep will preserve the channel, A/V integrator's leaders say.
By Chad Berndtson April 05, 2012, 05:12 PM EDT
As videoconferencing goes mainstream and more and more solution providers tie video to broader unified communications and data center sales, video endpoints and infrastructure products inevitably become commoditzed. Where will solution providers with A/V expertise make their money going forward?
To AVI-SPL's management, there's no question about it: services are what will preserve the video channel. The $550 million integrator prides itself on having already made the leap toward substantial professional- and managed services-based revenue.
"The market is definitely going to services," said Mike Brandofino, executive vice president, video and unified communications, in an interview with CRN at AVI-SPL's recent national sales meeting in Tampa. "The IT guys can't keep up with all the technology out there, and if we can be that technology insurance provider for them -- because we know it and because we provide the services behind the scenes -- that's where the margin is. The endpoints are becoming commodities. They're going to keep going down. So where we differentiate ourselves is by connecting all those dots."
[Related: 25 Video Vendors You Need To Know ]
About $40 million of AVI-SPL's revenue is in services, and growing fast. It's a trend that's only just catching on in the industry, notes AVI-SPL CEO John Zettel, who cited research from A/V industry association InfoComm that only about 3 percent of traditional A/V integrators are deriving roughly a third of their revenue from services.
Given AVI-SPL's status among the top ten national A/V integrators by overall revenue, Zettel likes his company's odds.
"With the acquisitions we've made and the focuses we have, I'll say without hesitation that we get to 33 percent in the next couple of years," Zettel said. "Services make video business-to-business. People don't view video as easy to use as a cell phone yet. It's too complex. Services take that complexity out and they pull through those commoditized endpoints, drive adoption and drive other services."
AVI-SPL has focused on services breadth as well as services depth, arming itself with everything from professional services -- including assessment, design and architecture -- to managed services, including full system support and hosted audio/video bridging.
"The greatest services opportunity falls on the back end," Zettel said. "That's the part that doesn't end -- it continues. But you have to have them all, which we do, and be credible in all of them."
The company's full-scale services embrace comes at a time when the videoconferencing market is flooded with vendors and solution providers touting video strategies. Many of the savvier solution providers -- including AVI-SPL, Dimension Data, IVCi and Yorktel -- have poured resources into services-centric businesses designed to create recurring revenue streams and place less emphasis on traditional A/V endpoint and infrastructure integration.
AVI-SPL ranked No. 48 on CRN's 2011 VAR500 listing, and has more than 1,500 employees in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The company does business in 19 countries, partners with about 700 vendors, including all of the major and most of the minor videoconferencing and A/V players, and sells to about 86 percent of the Fortune 100. At least half of its more than 6,000 integration projects last year involved video, which accounts for more than $200 million in revenue.
Next: AVI-SPL Acquisitions and Vendors to Watch
Though its history goes back decades, the current AVI-SPL formed in 2008, when Tampa-based Audio Visual Innovations Inc. (AVI) and Menlo Park, Calif.-based Signal Perfection Ltd. (SPL) merged. The combined company is majority-owned by investor giant Silver Lake, and has been relatively quiet on the acquisition front since the 2008 merger. But in January, AVI-SPL acquired Dayton, Ohio-based Iformata Communications, a move that dramatically expanded AVI-SPL's managed services footprint.
The deal gained AVI-SPL both Iformata's Video Network Operations Center (VNOC) and its VNOC Symphony management platform. It kept on Iformata's existing reseller partners, which in the U.S. include AT&T and InterCall, and were already AVI-SPL partners, too.
"Any kind of development strategy is time, money and uncertainty," Zettel explained. "We felt like we could eliminate time and a lot of unknown money and uncertainty by going with Iformata."
Zettel and his team aren't ruling out future acquisitions -- they get a lot of "buy me" inquiries, Zettel said -- but plan to stay deliberate about their targets.
"We are looking at smaller integrators just to bolster our geographic footprint, or if there is a vertical need," Zettel said "But we are not going to acquire for the sake of acquiring."
AVI-SPL's overall growth strategy spans not only the Symphony platform, but also its own Unify ME hosted managed services platform for video and telepresence, and several other important ventures. It's forged ahead, for example, on offerings like its Cameleon Telepresence, a fully integrated unified video communications suite that ties in everything from HD video conferencing to multimedia presentation display and includes both dedicated controllers and control software applications for devices like Apple's iPad.
Its reach also extends to digital signage and digital media -- AVI-SPL's digital media services group is growing at a 300 percent-a-year clip, according to John Vitale, vice president of products -- and also to adjacent areas addressing design and media architecture. AVI-SPL's Control Room Group, for example, designs audio/visual control rooms and systems for high-intensity, mission-critical control center environments, and its Creative Show Services unit does major events, from conferences to stage shows, including planning and rich media content.
AVI-SPL's executives are ideally situated to pick out emerging vendors in the A/V space, and Zettel and Brandofino said two vendors the channel should definitely watch are Blue Jeans Network and Huawei.
Blue Jeans is the three-year-old, much-buzzed-about cloud video startup that has been adding major solution provider partners left and right since debuting its Any(Ware) video conferencing service in June 2011. The Blue Jeans platform is a cloud-based video meeting room from which users can host, schedule and manage their own video conferences via a Web interface, but the hook is that Blue Jeans can bridge any number of different video and audio protocols, meaning a user of, say, Cisco TelePresence could easily conference with a user of Skype, or a user calling into the conference bridge using the PSTN.
Like most of Blue Jeans' integrator partners, AVI-SPL offers Blue Jeans as a managed service.
"I could have had my guys develop an interface for bridging Skype to other video [platforms], but why? They already have it," Brandofino said of Blue Jeans. "We have customers who have five endpoints and want to use Skype -- why am I going to throw that customer away? We have something for them."
Chinese telecom giant Huawei is another vendor to keep an eye on, Brandofino and Zettel agreed. Huawei has continued to fine-tune its global enterprise push and last fall formalized a U.S. channel partner program for indirect sales of its routers, switches and telepresence products.
"They've been knocking on our door for the last year and half," Brandofino said. "I've been reluctant, to tell you the truth, but they are getting enough mindshare for customers that we think they're going to be disruptive from a price perspective. We are figuring out how that plays into what we do. If we are taking the position of where we make money is services, and that endpoints are a commodity, than the price coming down is very significant."

Welcome to the year-ender non-special installment of the Groovee Playlist™ series (see the previous list). To remind you, the Groovee Playlist is my way of highlighting the recently (relatively) released songs that I dig. As in previous playlists, I'll link to the Wikipedia article about the song (if it exists) as "[W]", and to the YouTube search (or official music video) for the song as "[U]" so that you can sample the song and see if you like it as well.
It's been a pretty interesting year for amateur map making using crowdsourcing techniques. OpenStreetMap has been going strong while Google has released Map Maker just last June while Wikimapia followed up with their Beta website.

100 is a 100% Must-watch!
I plurked a few days ago that one thing you should definitely do before you die is to watch 100. I managed to catch it last Sunday at Robinsons Galleria and I must say that the journey to Ortigas and the 151-peso ticket is worth it. 100 is the best film I have seen this year, easily bumping The Dark Knight from the top spot. It's movies like these that give me hope for the local movie industry. Kudos to Chris Martinez, the writer and director of the film, which marks his debut.


Remanufactured Black Toner Cartridge with 4,000 page yield. Equivalent to HP part number(s): C3903A, 03A. Fits the following model(s): HP 6mp.
Buy our high quality compatible toner for HP LaserJet 6MP with confidence. Join thousands of happy customers who have found our compatible products are equivalent in page yield and print quality. For our compatible products, we offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee allowing you to return products within 6 months if you are unsatisfied.
The HP LaserJet 6MP laser printer is a Macintosh-compatible version of HP's popular 6P model. It has the same excellent print quality and reliability, but adds the ability to support both Macintosh and Windows platforms. Speeds are a bit slow, and memory is limited, but it somewhat makes up for its flaws with the low cost of HP 6MP toner.
The design of the machine is straightforward, with a rectangular shape and a few function buttons. There is no LCD screen, but the software handles all necessary functions and features, so this is less of an issue. The unit measures 7.9 inches by 15.7 inches by 17.5 inches and weighs around 54 pounds with the Laserjet toner installed. While its footprint is relatively small, it will take some help to move it into place.
Connectivity could be a problem for some users. The printer includes only a parallel port, which is no longer standard on modern computers. It can be upgraded with a USB adapter for individual use or an optional ethernet port, which is probably the best choice.
LaserJet 6MP toner cartridges are some of the most affordable in the class. The economical cost of HP 6MP toner cartridges is without a doubt the machine's best feature, as printer toner is an ongoing cost for any model. Replacement toners are very widely available, and using compatible HP 6MP toner will save even more money.
The printer includes only 3 MB of RAM, which might be too little for heavy graphics use, but it can be expanded to a maximum of 35 MB. Total paper capacity is 350 sheets, so users won't have replenish often, and the monthly duty cycle is 12,000 pages, so it can handle large volumes.
Many buyers tend to shop for a printer with the best specifications, but if budget-friendly printing is a priority, the HP 6MP is definitely a model to consider. Its power-saving features combined with economical LaserJet 6MP toner costs make it an excellent value.

New Jersey was inhabited by Native Americans for more than 2,800 years, with historical tribes such as the Lenape along the coast. In the early 17th century, the Dutch and the Swedes made the first European settlements in the state. The English later seized control of the region, naming it the Province of New Jersey after the largest of the Channel Islands, Jersey, and granting it as a colony to Sir George Carteret and John Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley of Stratton. New Jersey was the site of several decisive battles during the American Revolutionary War in the 18th century.
Houston is the most populous city in Texas and the fourth largest in the U.S., while San Antonio is the second most populous in the state and seventh largest in the U.S. Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest metropolitan statistical areas in the country, respectively. Other major cities include Austin, the second most populous state capital in the U.S., and El Paso. Texas is nicknamed "The Lone Star State" to signify its former status as an independent republic, and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texas state flag and on the Texan state seal. The origin of Texas's name is from the word "Tejas," which means "friends" in the Caddo language.

Spend more time thinking about different ways to reinvent your business model. Your business model is more important than your technology alone or source of innovation. If you have ever been involved with technology, life sciences, pharma, or the semiconductor fables industry, you are probably familiar with the role of intellectual property (IP) and patents. Chances are your IP management strategy was governed by a protectionist not invented here (NIH) and not sold here (NSH) policy. Despite the status quo, an increasing number of innovative companies have managed to abstract the process and source of innovation from their value chain. Meebo is the latest company to join the list of open innovators.
Earlier this year, I looked at technology start-ups who were implementing open business models as part of their core strategy. A number of these initiatives involved the Internet, open source software, and open business models. Zimbra and Meboo are just two recent examples. You might be saying to yourself - so what's new? What is new is the commercial intent of these initiatives with investor backing. Cleary some of these new initiatives reflect the commercial viability of open innovation and business models. In the early days, most open source projects had no commercial intent. Interestingly enough, a handful of companies like Google, Amazon, and Salesforce.com found it strategically advantageous to use free open source software (FOSS) for their own infrastructure.
Don't fall into the NIH trap. Creating your own IP is not a prerequisite or determinant for success. 75% to 95% of patented technologies stay on the shelf and go to waste. Not to mention the fact that 90% of all products fail. Moreover, if your IP management policy prohibits reassignment, then your patents are not assets. With rising technology development costs and increasingly shorter product life cycles, the risk of innovation is almost certain. Technology life cycle has gone from 4-5 years, from a decade ago, to 6-9 months. In other words, your window of opportunity to recoup your investment got even shorter. Having your innovation, business model, and community aligned is more important.
So why are you waiting to explore the strategic advantages of what Henry Chesbrough calls - open business models. Companies big and small are learning that many of their best ideas, approaches, and solutions come from the outside. Moreover, by adopting the open innovation model, companies can dramatically reduce the pitfalls, costs, and risks associated with closed innovation.
What does it mean to have an open business model? Think of all the things you do in your value chain and how it fits into the entire supply chain. What is a value chain? Everything you currently do or that contributes to your value creation (product / service) is your value chain. You can think of the supply chain as all other participants, suppliers, partners, and channels between your value chain and ultimate customer.
What is an open business model and how do you open your business model? As you share technologies, seek IP, outsource functions within your value chain, and rearrange your supply chain, you begin to lay the foundation for a more open business model. Remember, open business models are not the exclusive domain of open source software initiatives. Community collaboration and innovation are simply some of the attributes. For simplicity, think of open and new business models somewhat interchangeably. Some of the most innovative businesses are no more than a brand. P&G is certainly adopting this trend.
If your organization has successfully embraced the concept of open innovation and open business models, congratulations! You just joined the ranks of some the hottest start-ups and handful of innovative Fortune 500 companies who understand that some of the best ideas come from the outside. There is a good chance your organization is creating and capturing value ahead of the competition. Moreover, your business model more than likely reflects the state of your industry, technology or company life cycle, and R&D development cycle relative to the target market window of opportunity.
If your organization has embraced the open innovation framework, please tell me more about your open business model.
We found www.philoptima.org as one of the unique open innovation concept.


We work as part of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (or CAMHS), supporting children and young people, and the families of children and young people, who have complex mental health needs.
Family therapists are professionals such as social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists who have done specialist training.
Family therapy is a way of working with families so they can understand and deal better with problems that family members may be going through. The idea of family therapy is to draw on the strengths and commitment that exist in a family to help tackle these problems. Family therapy can improve communication and help family members understand one another better.
If we accept a referral, we then arrange a meeting with the family. This session may last between one and one and a half hours. After this first session, we work with the family members in group and 1-on-1sessions. The sessions involve generating solutions and understandings through language. The focus of the conversations will have been agreed beforehand between the therapist and the family.
As well as the work we do with families, we give advice to colleagues from CAMHS and other child-focussed agencies. This might be on specific families, as well as on their family work generally. We also offer training in the ideas of family therapy to professionals and parents.
We accept referrals from any professional who knows the family.
