Parent and Family Support
At KIDS, we have services that provide general parent and family support as well as Key working, Sleep projects, Parent forums and Befriending services.
Keyworking
Keyworking offers a single point of contact to families accessing more than one service and managing multiple appointments. The Keyworker's main job is to work with other agencies (from the health, education, social care and voluntary sector) to provide help with accessing information as well as practical and emotional help for families who require multi-agency intervention and intensive support. The Keyworker will support the family with home visits, telephone calls, text and email support depending on each individual family's need.
Our Keyworking services:
1.Camden Keyworking
2.Hull Keyworking
3.Wakefield Early Support, Advice and Information Liaison service (WESAIL)
Sleep projects
KIDS Sleep services provide trained sleep practitioners who are able to support and advise families on their children's sleep problems and support them to put effective strategies in place. The practitioners also give parents coping mechanisms to help with their own sleep deprivation. Help is provided through the delivery of Sleep workshops and individualised support.
Our Sleep services:
1.Hull SEND Sleep service
A parent or carer forum is a group of parents and carers of disabled children who work with local authorities, education settings, health providers and other organisations to make sure the services they plan and deliver meet the needs of disabled children and families. KIDS hold the Contact a Family Grant on behalf of a number of forums; working closely with parents and providing support to enable them to increase the participation of parent/carers in their area.
Parent forum services:
1.Camden special parents forum
2.Hull parents forum
3.Hull Dad's group
4.Wakefield parents forum
KIDS parent befrienders are parents whose children have a range of impairments and/or special educational needs and uniquely placed to offer support to other parents. Each befriender has attended a comprehensive training course to enable them to volunteer their time providing emotional support to other parents.
Our befriending services:
1.Yorkshire & The Humber befriending
2.South East befriending
1.Hertfordshire Hubs
We provide support to young carers under the age of 18, whose lives are restricted in some way because they are supporting a person who is ill, has a disability, mental illness or misusing a substance. This could include a parent, sibling or close family member.This allows the young carer to take time out for themselves, socialise and cope with the demands placed on them as carers.
We run regular clubs where young carers can safely talk about how they feel, meet other young carers, get support, advice and information as well as have some fun away from their caring responsibilities We also provide holiday activities and occasional weekends away.
The services also provides accessible links to youth counselling and other agencies who can give expert advice and information on all issues that affect young carers.
Our Young carers services:

GSK names McNamara as consumer health chief
September 30, 2016 by Chain Drug Review
LONDON — Brian McNamara has been promoted to chief executive officer of GlaxoSmithKline plc's consumer health business.
Brian McNamara
GSK said McNamara assumes the GSK Consumer Healthcare CEO post and joins GSK's corporate executive team effective immediately. He takes the reins from Emma Walmsley, who just over a week ago was named to succeed Sir Andrew Witty as GlaxoSmithKline's chief executive.
Based in the United Kingdom, McNamara also continues as a member of the board of GSK's consumer health care joint venture with Novartis.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to lead the Consumer Healthcare business at GSK," McNamara said in a statement. "We have an amazing opportunity ahead of us to deliver on our promise to consumers and grow our business to further extend our position as a leading, global consumer health care company."
McNamara had served as head of Europe and the Americas for GSK Consumer Healthcare since March 2015. In his new role, he will report to Witty until Walmsley takes the helm as CEO, which is slated to occur when Witty retires on March 31, 2017.
"With his significant experience and expertise, Brian is the clear choice to build on the current momentum we are seeing in our business and fully maximize the future opportunities we have with our brands and to deliver the benefits of the integration," Witty stated.
McNamara came to GSK in 2015 after the pharmaceutical giant finalized its three-part transaction with Novartis. Most recently in his 11-year career at Novartis, he served as division head of OTC and, prior to that, as Americas OTC president and Europe OTC president.
Before joining Novartis, McNamara spent 16 years at Procter & Gamble Co. in marketing and product supply management roles.

A: Great question and consideration, Maps in Apex can be used to great effect to optimise your code and the use of platform resources such as SOQL queries.
public with sharing class AddressesController {

    public Map<String, Address__c> AddressMap {get;set;}

    public AddressesController()
    {
        // Load addresses for Type Address1, Address2 and Address3 for the given Application
        List<Address__c> addresses =
            [select Id, Name, Type__c, Contact_Person__c, Address__c from Address__c
                where Type__c in ('Address1', 'Address2', 'Address3')
                      /* Application__c = this.application.Id */];
        // Map the addresses by type
        AddressMap = new Map<String, Address__c>();
        for(Address__c address : addresses)
            AddressMap.put(address.Type__c, address);
    }
}

You can also leverage Maps in Visualforce using the following syntax.
        <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" id="pbRegisteredAddr1" title="Address1">
            <apex:inputField value="{!AddressMap['Address1'].Contact_Person__c}"/>
            <apex:inputField value="{!AddressMap['Address1'].Address__c}"/>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
        <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" id="pbRegisteredAddr2" title="Address2">
            <apex:inputField value="{!AddressMap['Address2'].Contact_Person__c}"/>
            <apex:inputField value="{!AddressMap['Address2'].Address__c}"/>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
        <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" id="pbRegisteredAddr3" title="Address3">
            <apex:inputField value="{!AddressMap['Address3'].Contact_Person__c}"/>
            <apex:inputField value="{!AddressMap['Address3'].Address__c}"/>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>

Зайчи връх е възвишение в Сърнена гора – най-източната част на Средна гора.

В античността завоят на река Тунджа е бил точно тук – край Зайчи връх, където реката е образувала широки разливи, удобни за пристани. Днес реката е изместила коритото си с 2 – 3 km на север. Спуска се постепенно върху просторна терасовидна площ над старото корито на р. Тунджа.

Възвишението е високо около 300 m и е широко около 1000 m. Има 3 върха:
 Вълча скала
 Средна скала - най-високата част
 Голямата скала

В края на ІІ хил. пр. Хр. в подножието на Зайчи връх се оформя античният град Кабиле.  Тук се намира най-древното светилище на богинята Кибела (по-късно Артемида) и тракийска слънчева обсерватория.

Днес в подножието на Зайчи връх се намират 2 села – Кабиле и Дражево.

An article about Monday's "tax freedom day" does a really good job at highlighting some of the insanity when it comes to the government's response to the economic crisis, especially the housing market.
Americans will pay more in taxes in 2009, according to the report, than they will spend on food, clothing and housing combined.
So we're in a situation where people are having a hard time paying for their housing. The government is borrowing, taxing, and spending more and more in an attempt to try to resolve the housing crisis.
But isn't the answer obvious? Any ideas? Hint: "Americans will pay more in taxes in 2009 than they spend on housing."
Is it possible that Americans are paying too much money in taxes? Is it possible that if we paid less in taxes, many of us would be in a better position to whether the current housing crisis? If people weren't paying so much in taxes, perhaps they could afford to pay an extra few hundred bucks a month when their ARM rates jump?
Indeed the article is correct. I just completed my income taxes and I paid far more in federal income taxes than I did on my mortgage last year. If it weren't for federal income taxes, I would be about half done paying for the house I bought three years ago. And if it weren't for federal income taxes, once my house was paid off after about six years, can you imagine the amount of money I'd be saving to make sure I would never be a burden to society? And how much money I'd be spending to "stimulate" the economy because I no longer had my monthly mortgage payment?
I find it amazing that anyone can argue that taxes are not a drag on the economy. As I just illustrated, the amazing economic impact--both to myself and to the economy and society--of being able to pay my house off in six years (rather than 30) would require just one thing: the federal government getting out of my way.
Instead, the government seems to be doing just the opposite. Increasing our taxes, increasing our debt, devaluing the value of our money, and increasing energy costs. The government seems to be doing everything it can to get in my way.
So, no, I'm not very hopeful of being able to pay off my mortgage in six years.

Chapter 1144: Medusa's Eye
Zu An had claimed to not be able to distinguish beauty, and Yu Yanluo had felt moved at the time, but she had already realized that he was just teasing her.
That was why she really wanted to know how he felt about her appearance.
Yan Xuehen waited for his reply, clearly amused.
Her words had the will of a grandmaster infused into them, which would make one subconsciously choose to reply with the truth.
Hmph, let's see how Yu Yanluo will act once she finds out that this kid really was coveting her beauty. She could then tell her disciple what had happened to show her the true face of this man.
Zu An said with a firm expression, "I saved Yu Yanluo because she helped me when I was in danger in the past.
A true man pays back grudges, and also returns gratitude."
"Is it really only gratitude…" Yu Yanluo murmured, lowering her head.
No one could see her current expression.
Yan Xuehen asked, "Is it really just repaying a debt of gratitude Is that enough for you to squander away your prospects, or maybe even your life From what I know, even though Yu Yanluo has helped you before, she did not really sacrifice anything back then.
You are repaying her several times over in return, and yet you are still saying that you do not covet her beauty" Even though Yu Yanluo was a fiend race individual, Yan Xuehen had to admit that she was an exceptional beauty.
Even she was a bit moved, let alone this perverted fellow.
"Gratitude isn't something like a business deal; how can it be weighed in terms like that Sect Master Yan, you've made an error here," Zu An replied, giving her a strange look.
Yan Xuehen nodded slightly.
She wasn't someone truly unreasonable.
She realized that there were flaws in what she had said as well.
Zu An continued, "Besides, there are too many pretty girls in this world.
For example, Sect Master Yan, you're a beauty who isn't inferior to Yu Yanluo in any way.
Would I risk my life to save you, though"
Yan Xuehen was stunned.
Meanwhile, Yu Yanluo covered her mouth and secretly laughed. This guy! He's clearly mocking her, yet he also snuck in a bit of praise.
No wonder he's always so charming.
"You rascal, I am an honorable grandmaster.
Would I need a junior like you to save me" Yan Xuehen replied with a snort.
The temperature in the cave dropped a few degrees.
You have successfully trolled Yan Xuehen for 222 222 222…
Zu An said, "Sect master, please don't set up flags randomly like that.
The world is variable and fickle, no one knows if this day will one day come."
Yan Xuehen's expression remained still as she replied, "Worry not.
If that really happened, I would rather die than be saved by you.
Furthermore, in a situation that would put me in that much danger, you would already have departed from this world long before me."
Zu An shrugged and said, "I'm merely explaining that the reason I'm saving Yu Yanluo, apart from our past gratitude, is more importantly because of how well we get along.
We're close friends who connect with each other.
Why wouldn't I be willing to go so far for a friend like that"
A smile finally appeared on Yu Yanluo's face. We're not just close friends, but rather…
Yan Xuehen quickly interjected, cutting her thoughts short.
"Out of consideration for the bit of loyalty you have, I will spare your life.
However, step aside and let me bring this Snake race criminal back."
Zu An's expression changed.
He stood in front of Yu Yanluo protectively, replying, "Sect Master Yan, only death awaits her if she's brought back.
I hope that the sect leader can be generous in this matter."
Yan Xuehen said coldly, "I am only acting like this to erase a hidden danger to the human race.
If you insist on going about things the wrong way, I will not mind acting in the heavens' place to remove one of Chuyan's inner demons."
Zu An was speechless. Isn't that last bit going a bit too far
This old nun really is doing everything she can to break me and Chuyan up!
He was about to say something, but Yu Yanluo had already stood in front of him, saying, "I have already received young master's kindness.
I am really grateful that you have helped me so much, so I cannot be a burden on you any longer.
Please step aside.
I will deal with the rest myself."
She knew that there was no way they could defeat a grandmaster even if the two of them worked together.
Rather than both of them going down, it would be better if one of them made it through the situation.
Zu An said with a frown, "I'm not that scared for my life.
If I let you die after everything I went through to save you, what meaning would be left in everything I did before"
Yu Yanluo looked at him quietly through her beautiful eyes.
She said through ki, "I know you have good intentions, but what else can we do If we continue like this, you will just be throwing away your life in vain.
If you really still feel that strongly, then please help me search for Maid Xing and the others, and escort them to my hometown safely.
I will repay the young master's gratitude in the next life."
Zu An shook his head and replied, "Please don't talk like that anymore.
I won't abandon you here."
Yu Yanluo's eyes glittered with tears.
She was about to say something else, but Yan Xuehen was growing impatient.
She snapped, "Are you two done with your mumbling yet Are you two displaying your affection to me right now or something" She thought, This guy really is a piece of work.
He knows that I am Chuyan's master, yet he is still flirting with another woman in front of my eyes.
Yu Yanluo blushed, but she didn't try to persuade Zu An further.
Instead, she pushed him aside, then looked up at Yan Xuehen.
She didn't use the World Painting, though.
Against a grandmaster, that was no different from a toy.
As such, she immediately went with her most powerful skill, knowing that she only had one chance.
Her beautiful gemstone-like eyes flickered with red fiendish radiance, and the entire cave filled with bitter and harsh energy.
She slowly rose into the air.
Her hair fluttered around, turning into small snakes.
Every single snake's eyes glowed with a faint red light.
All the red lights surrounded Yan Xuehen's body, and she began to petrify at a visible rate.
In just a few breaths of time, her entire body rapidly turned into a stone statue.
Zu An exclaimed in shock, "You killed her"
He was shocked not only because this was the first time Yu Yanluo had used the power of Medusa's Eye, but also because Yan Xuehen was Chuyan's master.
How was he going to explain things to Chuyan if she really did die here
Yu Yanluo's body grew weak in midair.
She seemed to have used up all of her strength, dropping from the sky.
Zu An quickly caught her to prevent her from hitting the ground.
The little snakes that had replaced Yu Yanluo's hair had already closed their eyes, while her own eyes had also returned to their normal color.
At that moment, her complexion was pale.
She asked, "Do I look really ugly right now"
Zu An was speechless.
What kind of situation were they in right now And yet, she was still concerned about such things Hadn't he already made it clear that her appearance didn't matter
"These little snakes are pretty cute," he said in amusement as he gently lifted a strand of hair.
Yu Yanluo's entire body trembled, as if she could clearly feel him touching the small snake.
She blushed and explained, "I have never used the Medusa's Eye at full strength before, so I do not know how strong it is.
In the end, she is still a grandmaster, so I did not dare to hold back.
I am truly sorry; I did not want to do this either." Only then did she remember that Yan Xuehen was the master of Zu An's wife.
Zu An sighed and said, "Things have already turned out this way, so just bring her remains to the surface.
We'll find a way to send her back to the White Jade Sect.
We can't just leave her in a place like this that won't ever see the light of day."
He hadn't expected the Medusa's Eye to be that powerful either.
Based on his understanding, the skill was a sort of reason-defying weapon.
It wasn't something that could be evaluated through normal means.
Yan Xuehen had underestimated Yu Yanluo too much and faced the Medusa's Eye head-on.
Zu An carefully walked up to her, scared that she might shatter if he used too much strength.
A cold voice suddenly called out, "At least you have a bit of conscience."
Zu An jumped in alarm, because the voice had come from the stone statue.
He was alarmed.
He was just about to take Yu Yanluo and run, but a terrifying pressure surrounded him.
He felt a bone-piercing chill attack him, making him feel as if every single cell had been frozen still.
Meanwhile, a layer of frost began to visibly cover the surroundings.
This entire cave seemed to have turned into a world of ice and snow.
So this is what a domain is Zu An realized something.
He had sensed a similar thing in Brightmoon City before.
Back then, Chu Chuyan had used a forbidden technique to defeat Shi Kun, who had been several cultivation ranks above her.
However, the technique's power from back then couldn't compare to the one right now at all.
Suddenly, the stone statue cracked loudly.
Then, its surface broke down inch by inch, ultimately crashing down and revealing Yan Xuehen's real appearance.
Her skin that was normally fair like snow had turned an unnaturally dark red.
She said, "I was indeed careless just now.
If you were allowed to grow for a bit longer, I might really have been completely petrified.
Unfortunately, you will never have that chance." She took a step forward, clearly about to make a move.
Zu An panicked.
He used his Fire Phoenix power to counteract the cold around him.
He stood right in front of Yu Yanluo, calling out, "Yanluo, hurry and run!"
A frown spread across Yan Xuehen's pretty face when she saw his choice.
She said, "I planned to spare you before because you still had some filial piety, but it seems you cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
In that case, do not blame me for being rude."
She raised her hand after speaking.
At that moment, however, her movements seemed to be accompanied by brittle cracks.
She looked down in shock, seeing that her clothes looked like butterflies, scattering into the air piece by piece.

Politico: Glenn Beck's 'Bad Bet on Cruz' a Crushing Blow to His Media Empire
Gage Skidmore/Flickr
Kenneth Vogel and Hadas Gold write in Politico about the latest trouble to strike Glenn Beck's media empire, as Beck and one of his advertisers sue each other over unpaid bills and claims that the radio talker's endorsement of Ted Cruz's presidential campaign and increasingly shrill denunciations of Donald Trump alienated his audience. Politico notes that Beck's diminished relevance is juxtaposed by the rising influence of Breitbart News, which — along with Matt Drudge, Sarah Palin, and Sean Hannity — Beck has repeatedly attacked during this election cycle.
From Politico:
Glenn Beck's dreams of building a dominant conservative media empire are faltering amid a tangle of lawsuits, financial challenges, plunging on-line readership, firings and political feuds.
Beck, who in his days as Fox News host was among the leading voices of the anti-establishment right, invested heavily to parlay that influence into a wide-ranging media enterprise including not just a syndicated radio show, but also his own television network, news website, movie studio, book publishing imprint and clothing line.
And now a lawsuit claims that perhaps Beck's biggest bet of all — his endorsement of Ted Cruz's presidential campaign — further undermined his appeal.
People who previously worked with Beck described his decision to devote himself to electing Cruz — for whom he hit the campaign trail and turned his shows into de facto infomercials only months after renouncing politics and the GOP — as a last-gasp bid for renewed relevance.
But as Cruz started falling behind eventual nominee Donald Trump, Beck grew increasingly strident, calling Trump a "narcissistic psychopath" who would lead the country into civil war, and picking fights with big name Trump supporters on the populist right.
"Endorsing Cruz was a last-ditch attempt to get back into the spotlight by a guy who craves attention, but it actually made it impossible for him to run the business," said a former associate who was close to Beck.
Some advertisers complained to Beck's representatives that the host's increasing combustibility was becoming bad for business, two people familiar with the complaints told POLITICO. One longtime advertiser, a solar survivalist company called Solutions from Science (SFS), allegedly stopped paying its advertising invoices after unsuccessfully trying to pull its ads from Beck's syndicated radio show.
And lately, other conservative media outlets have become more influential, most notably the populist conservative website Breitbart News, which backed Trump while openly antagonizing Beck. Breitbart's executive chairman Steve Bannon, who has taken a leave to help run Trump's campaign, has arguably supplanted Beck as the leading media visionary on the anti-establishment right. Beck in turn has peddled wild conspiracy theories about Bannon, whom he called "possibly the most dangerous guy in all of American politics."
In his interview with POLITICO, Beck said he was getting ready to launch a comeback plan for The Blaze, which he dubbed "Project Phoenix, Blaze 2.0." But he also suggested that his enemies on the right and left were working to stymie him after his endorsement of Cruz.
"The world currently is punishing anyone who takes a stand. And that's what's so disappointing," he said. "I'm a guy who's used to being called names. But I was shocked at how the right plays exactly the same game as the left. I've always known that there were dirtbags on both sides, but the exact same tactics used to try to discredit me from the Soros left was used by the Bannon right," he said, adding "there is no difference between those two, practically."
The attacks on Soros's tactics seem to echo the theme of Beck's 13th book, "Liars: How Progressives Exploit Our Fears for Power," which was released recently and became a New York Times bestseller.
A Soros spokesman declined to comment on Beck, as did Bannon.
Bill Heid, the CEO of Solutions from Science, who has known Beck for years, asserted "delusions of grandeur got the best of Glenn Beck."
The host "became a man possessed when it came to Ted Cruz," Heid said.

Hajj Step-by-Step: A Practical Guide
To assist with your sacred journey to Makkah, this Hajj guide offers useful advice for lodging, transportation and personal safety, as well as other practical Hajj information.
Patience is one of the best Hajj tips to remember. You will be among a multitude of other pilgrims. Try to remain calm and seek less-crowded areas. You also will have a more tranquil trip if you know what to expect and how to navigate the pilgrimage.
Walk, Bus or Train on Your Muslim Pilgrimage
One of the most convenient ways to complete the Hajj steps is aboard the Al-Mashaaer Al-Mugaddassah Metro. Known as the "Hajj Metro," the rail service has modern air-conditioned trains that transport pilgrims between the holy sites of Makkah, Mina, Mount Arafat and Muzdalifah. Speed is a big plus. In mere minutes you can complete a journey that takes hours on foot.
Given congestion along the Hajj route, walking can actually be faster and more convenient than bus travel. Buses offer relative comfort, but they can break down or get stuck in traffic for hours on end. Walking requires more exertion but can enhance your spiritual experience – with the sacred ground beneath your feet and fellow pilgrims at your side.
What to Expect in Mina
The first stop after your initial Holy Kaaba rite, Mina serves as a base for much of your journey. The sight of white tents stretching to the horizon can be both impressive and imposing. While not luxurious, communal tents provide sufficient amenities for comfortable stays. Air conditioning staves off the desert heat. Electricity powers fluorescent lights and wall outlets for charging mobile devices.
Tents are grouped into camps according to country. Each camp has a kitchen, washing facilities and bathrooms (bring your own toilet paper). Breakfast is often a boxed meal of bread, fruit and pastries. You can expect a dinner of rice and meat. Beverages and snacks are available at the kitchen throughout the day. In case you forget where your tent is or become lost along the sprawling network of paths, your badge is color-coded for your country and has your camp's number on it.
Evening Under the Stars in Muzdalifah
After Hajj steps in Arafat, you will spend the night on the hardscrabble plain of Muzdalifah. This is one of the best-known and least-comfortable parts of the journey for many. Rather than a sleeping bag, it's a good idea to buy a cheap sleeping mat in Makkah. An inflatable pillow will also be useful.
While all pilgrims spend a night under open skies, not all spots in Muzdalifah are equal. Some travelers gather in cramped areas by roads, where fume-spewing buses pass by throughout the night. Others are in spaces where travel organizers have erected wooden privacy walls and set up soft mattresses with sheets, blankets and pillows. A good organizer will even provide the pebbles needed for the upcoming Stoning of the Devil ritual.
Safety During the Stoning of the Devil
Exercise caution while performing the Stoning of the Devil ritual in Mina. In years past, the rush of pilgrims performing the rite has led to stampedes. The government of Saudi Arabia has since instituted stronger safety measures, but it's still a good idea to be mindful of crowd issues as you approach the site at Jamarat Bridge. Extreme weather is also a concern. Daytime temperatures can climb to 106°F (41°C) under an unrelenting sun. You should bring an umbrella for shade and plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
After the Pilgrimage
After performing the Farewell Tawaf at the Grand Mosque, you are free to explore. Many pilgrims visit Madinah, home to the final resting place of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). A VIP bus service can take you from Makkah to Madinah in five hours. If you're looking for Hajj souvenirs for loved ones back home, there are a variety of shops along the streets by the famed Prophet's Mosque.
As you prepare to depart for home, it's a perfect time to reflect on the pilgrimage, your stronger relationship with Allah and the deeper understanding of Makkah's heritage you will carry with you on your journey through life.
Hajj with Children: a survival guide for families!
Is Hajj for kids? From packing and preparation to advice for navigating the challenging journey, here's what you need to know prior to performing Hajj with the family.
Before setting off on a trip to Makkah with the family it's important to understand what to bring, safeguards to take and ways to engage children on the sacred pilgrimage.
Find Child-Friendly Hajj Packages
Search for organizers with services that cater to kids. For example, some packages offer to have guides supervise children while you perform Hajj rituals.
Essential Items for Makkah with Kids
The desert sun can be harsh on both you and your children. Bring an ample supply of sunscreen and a hat for each member of the family. You'll also want to travel with plenty of water bottles as dehydration will be a concern for much of the journey. Consider snacks that can withstand heat such as dried fruit, granola bars and individually wrapped hummus tortillas. A travel pillow will be indispensable when your child wants to sleep.
There are pros and cons to bringing a stroller. It's useful to have one while shopping in Makkah and traveling from hotel to mosque. A stroller that reclines to a flat position is also great for sleeping. However, strollers are not allowed in or around the Grand Mosque during Hajj. Also, keep in mind you can hire a wheelchair to ferry children around Makkah. So it might not be necessary to lug a stroller around for the entire trip.
Clothing for Hot Days and Cool Nights
Children should dress for hot weather in Makkah. While kids are not required to wear Ihram clothing, the loose lightweight garment is still a good idea. It's also a good opportunity to teach them that simple clothing is worn to express that all are equal before Allah. Evening temperatures drop in the desert climate so you should also have clothing for cool weather. It's a good idea to bring blankets or sleeping bags for your night under the stars at Muzdalifah and Mina.
Document Hajj Steps in a Family Diary
Keeping an account of one's pilgrimage is a time-honored tradition in Makkah's heritage that's almost as old as Hajj itself. It's also a wonderful way to bring the family together to recount shared experiences, discuss each day's events and record how they impacted members of the family. Let the older kids write about the activities in their own words and have a parent write for younger children. Encourage them to draw pictures depicting what they witnessed each day. The diary will be a memento that's cherished for generations.
Educate and Entertain with Digital Devices
Your smartphone or tablet can be an invaluable tool that both educates and occupies young minds on the journey. Online stores have lots of Hajj-related apps that will come in handy on long rides. Check out Learn Hajj Games and Salah for Kids. You can also download e-books such as Tell Me About Hajj and Muslim Child to teach about the importance of Hajj in inspiring and interactive ways. If you have a reliable Internet connection, watch any number of kid-friendly YouTube videos that illustrate the significance of the pilgrimage. Feeling retro? Buy some animated Hajj DVDs from Amazon to play on your laptop.
Make a Hajj Map
Visuals are a great way to engage children. You can download and print an online map of the Hajj steps or create your own. Make the map in black and white and have the kids color each step as they're performed. Let children draw the hill of Mount Arafat as you explain the importance of the site where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) preached his final sermon. Fill the sky over Muzdalifah with stars as you teach your children why pilgrims spend a night in the open. The map will also make a wonderful keepsake your family will treasure for years.
Consider a Safety Plan
Getting separated from a child is one of every parent's greatest concerns. An identification bracelet for your child can give you peace of mind. You can order one online. YouTube videos can help you make a fun and fashionable wristband. Include the names of both the child and parents, your hotel and a local phone number in both English and Arabic. Keep in mind that Hajj locations can get crowded and chaotic. So it's a good idea to always agree on a meeting point in the event of separation.
A pilgrimage during childhood doesn't free one from the obligation of Hajj during adulthood. But the journey can be an inspiring spiritual experience that helps children gain a deeper understanding of their faith.
How to prepare for a Hajj pilgrimage
Wondering how to get to Makkah and what to bring? Enjoy a smooth trip with essential Hajj tips to help with booking, packing and budgeting for your sacred pilgrimage.
From important rituals and spiritual preparation to package pitfalls and financial considerations, here's what you need to know before setting off on your Makkah travels.
Overall Planning for a Pilgrimage to Makkah
Your once-in-a-lifetime journey requires physical, spiritual and practical preparation. While modern transportation makes Hajj accessible to pilgrims of all fitness levels, it can still be an arduous trip. Start a workout regimen that includes walking and strength-building exercises at least a month before you leave. Add more fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods to your diet. If necessary, consult your physician to get approval for travel. Your paperwork needs to be in order, so pay attention to visa requirements. It's a good idea to make a will before you leave.
Spiritual preparation is equally important. To attain the needed state of purity, you must repent sins, redress wrongs and reconcile unsettled issues with people in your life. Practice patience, avoid conflict and refrain from sin as you strengthen your relationship with Allah. Learn your prayers by heart and study the Hajj rituals you will soon perform.
Booking a Trip to Makkah
Don't trust just any Hajj organizer you find online. Book with an agency authorized by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. For protection against fraud, pay with a credit card instead of a debit card or bank transfer. Get as many details as you can about the Hajj package, such as Makkah hotel names and the number of people who will share a room. Inquire about included meals, in-country transportation and the distances between locations on the itinerary. As Muzdalifah has limited facilities and can get crowded, it's a good idea to get specifics about your night under the stars.
But booking Makkah travel isn't just about logistics and physical comforts. Read online reviews to find agencies that can cater to your spiritual needs as well. Consider group dynamics to make sure your companions have like-minded spirits.
Packing for Your Muslim Pilgrimage
As you could be away from home for weeks, begin with a complete packing list. Three sets of Ihram clothing are advisable, as you're almost guaranteed to get them dirty while outdoors. Bring two types of footwear — durable waterproof slippers for bathroom visits during the pilgrimage, and comfortable shoes for long walks. A pocket Quran will come in handy, as will a pocket prayer mat when you find yourself on the go at Salah time. Consider downloading the sacred text to your phone, along with a guide to Hajj rituals.
You'll want a small backpack for incidentals on your trip to Mina. An umbrella will shade you from the desert sun. Remember that toiletries should be scent free. Search online for halal-friendly travel kits that include sunscreen, conditioning shampoo, unscented soap and lip balm.
Considering Hajj Costs
During the journey, pilgrims must be debt free with enough savings to provide for dependents at home. While the pilgrimage is affordable for most locals, those living outside of Saudi Arabia can expect the total cost to range from US$3,000 to US$10,000 per person. You will use cash for many of the day-to-day expenses. See if you can exchange money at home so you'll have at least 500 Saudi riyals (US$130) when you arrive. To get cash while in the Kingdom, you'll find an ample number of banks, currency exchanges and ATMs in and around Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah.
As Saudi Arabia can be an expensive country, make a budget and consider what costs you will incur. If your mobile plan doesn't have international coverage, a local SIM card (about US$100) allows you to stay in touch while away from home. Does your Hajj package include dining at local restaurants? You will also want to budget money for sadaqah (charitable giving) and the Eid al-Adha ritual; the obligatory animal sacrifice costs between US$80 and US$150.
From upscale boutiques to bustling open-air markets, Saudi Arabia has some of the world's most memorable shopping opportunities. Make a list of people you wish to buy Hajj souvenirs for, and plan how much you intend to spend on each.
But the best Hajj preparation tip is also the simplest: Open your heart to the wonders that await.
Discover the 5 key benefits of Hajj
Are you considering performing Hajj? Here are some major benefits of Hajj for you and your family.
Islam involves daily acts of worship such as prayer, weekly acts such as Friday prayers, and annual acts such as fasting over Ramadan. The Hajj pilgrimage is a once-in-a-lifetime act of worship. It brings great spiritual benefits to the pilgrim and his or her family.
The Hajj helps you learn patience and self-restraint
A pillar of Islam
Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, required of all Muslim adults who are physically and financially able to make the journey. Those who perform the Hajj, known as Hajjis, may be treated with renewed respect in their communities. They may also gain self-esteem for having paid this respect to Allah.
Learn patience, self-restraint and endurance
However you make the Hajj journey, it will probably involve long and tiring travel. The rituals themselves may be strenuous, particularly during Makkah's hot summers and amid crowds of other pilgrims. With good planning and high-quality accommodation, you can avoid some hardships. However, one of the benefits of Hajj is to learn patience and to stay strong even when experiencing temptation or tiredness.
A spiritual and historical travel experience
Before, during and after Hajj, you can visit places where historical and religiously significant events took place. For example, you can pay your respects at the cemetery of Jannat Al Mu'alla, where some of the Prophet (PBUH)'s ancestors were buried. Museums in Makkah include the Kiswa Factory, where the Kaaba cover is crafted each year, and the Exhibition of 2 Holy Mosques Architecture about the Grand Mosque in Makkah and Prophet's Mosque in Madinah.
Strengthen the unity of Muslims
Hajj cleanses the soul, bringing purity, hope and renewal. By strengthening individual faith, it also strengthens the unity of all followers of Islam. Ihram clothing minimizes differences between Muslims of different nationalities and social classes. The Hajj, by bringing together so many Muslims in one place at one time, enhances communication and strengthens shared identity.
Discover Saudi Arabia
As well as visiting Makkah, pilgrims can discover some of Saudi Arabia's other important cities and destinations. In the port city of Jeddah on the Red Sea, you can explore the old town, Al Balad, and walk along the Corniche next to sandy beaches and the sea. East of Makkah in the Sarawat Mountains, the resort town of Taif is popular for its cooler weather and greenery. After the Hajj or Umrah, pilgrims often travel to Saudi Arabia's second holiest city, Madinah, to pray in The Prophet's Mosque.
Booking Hajj or Umrah
As the Hajj is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and can be strenuous, it is important to stay in a comfortable hotel. When booking your Hajj trip, consider staying at one of these 5-star hotels in Makkah, located in Abraj Al Bait within walking distance of the Haram.
The Hajj brings together followers of Islam from around the world
Learn what to wear for the Hajj and Umrah
Do you ever feel confused about what to wear during Hajj or Umrah? Ihram clothing is obligatory during the pilgrimage and is an essential part of entering the state of purity and devotion known as ihram. Here are some essential guidelines to help you plan your clothing.
Family of pilgrims wearing ihram clothing
Ihram clothing symbolizes the unity of Muslims and minimizes visible differences between them. Its simplicity and uniformity make it hard to tell the rich from the poor, the rulers from the ruled. Note that you can change ihram clothing at any time if it is torn, dirty, invalid or contaminated by perfume.
Ihram clothing for men
Men's ihram clothing consists of two white cloths, without seams, hems or buttons.
The bottom half, the izar, is wrapped around the waist covering the area between the navel and feet.
The top half, the rida, covers the left shoulder at all times. The right shoulder should be exposed while performing the tawaf.
Don't wear underwear, socks or any other clothes, and don't cover your head.
Wear footwear that reveals the ankles and toes.
Ihram clothing for women
Women's ihram dress is a loose (not tight-fitting) robe covering the whole body.
The robe can have seams and buttons, but should be free of adornments or colors.
It can be white or black.
Your hands and face should remain exposed.
Wear shoes that cover the entire foot.

The Many Benefits of Zamzam Water
Aside from being one of the most important rites of passage in Islam, Hajj and Umrah are wonderful pilgrimage experiences that enable visitors to discover the hidden secrets and beautiful locations of the holy city of Makkah in Saudi Arabia. One of the most astonishing features of the city is the Zamzam Well located within the Masjid Al Haram, a mere 20 metres east of the holy Kaaba.
Ancient mythology tells the tale of Abraham's infant son, Ishmael, and his mother Hagar, who were left stranded in the desert, thirsty and tired, when a source of miraculous water sprang up at their feet to satiate them. This became known as Zamzam Water.
Today, the Zamzam Well is one of the most visited places in Islam and considered one of the rewards of Hajj and Umrah. Part of Accor Hotels' Hajj & Umrah Packages, the visit to the Zamzam Well is one of the tour highlights as Zamzam Water itself has long been considered as one of the purest on earth, with a slew of health benefits associated with it.
1. Zamzam Water enhances energy levels in our cells
The head of the largest medical center in Munich, German scientist Dr. Knut Pfeiffer, has long been studying the effects and benefits of Zamzam Water. One of his most fascinating theories was that the water increases energy levels and strengthens the cell systems of the human body, which he was able to prove with plenty of research and countless trials.
2. Zamzam Water contains no germs or bacteria
While Hajj & Umrah benefits are endless on a religious and personal level, your visit to the Zamzam Well will surely prove to be one of the highlights of your experience. According to Dr. Yahya Koshak, and following a series of tests using ultraviolet tech through Europe and Saudi Arabia, Zamzam Water was found to be completely free of germs and bacteria because of its high levels of fluoride.
3. Zamzam Water is known for its purity
With a perfect bicarbonate amounts higher than the total found in water sourced from the French Alps, Zamzam Water is commonly known to be the purest on the planet.
4. Zamzam Water is rich in Calcium and Magnesium
You might want to take this into consideration on your next Hajj & Umrah procedure. Zamzam Water has been scientifically proven to contain very high levels of Calcium and Magnesium, which can help decrease fatigue. This also provides the water with healing qualities thanks to high fluoride levels similar to conventional medicine properties.
5. Zamzam Water encourages the growth of healthy bones
Because of Zamzam Water's abundance of Calcium, the water positively affects the human body, especially the bones as they absorb the vitamins and benefit from them for better growth.
The list of Zamzam Water health benefits can go on and on and on. Zamzam Water, after all, has long been regarded as one of the purest and most spiritually-healing bodies of water on earth. So next time you book one of our luxury 5-star hotels in Makkah that are specially designed for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages, make sure to try the Zamzam Water and experience its qualities and benefits for yourself.
Your Guide to Umrah Rituals
Assalamu'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
What is Umrah
Umrah is a beautiful spiritual journey taken by every single Muslim to acknowledge Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala – Glory to him, the exalted) as the harbinger of peace and to commune with him to purge the impurities within. Any pilgrim who proceeds on this journey, goes along the path to purifying their soul, heart mind and body from the sins committed in the past to be distinguished from others on Resurrection day.
Essentially, the Umrah means 'a visit' to the Holy Kaaba (the Sacred House of God) in Arabic and can be performed by anyone, anytime of the year; unlike Hajj, which is an obligatory pilgrimage to Makkah, performed every year within the first 10 days of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah.
Umrah Rituals – How to Perform Umrah
The acts of faith performed by all pilgrims during their spiritual journey to the Holy Kaaba are collectively known as the Umrah rituals.
Depending on whether one wishes to perform Hajj after the commencement of Umrah rituals, there are two types of Umrah: Al Umrah Al Mufradah (optional before Hajj) and Umrah Al Tammatu (obligatory before Hajj).
Following are the four acts of Umrah Al Mufradah that involve fulfilling some religious duties and rituals, each anchoring the pilgrim in the right moment towards complete atonement.
Ihram from Miqat – The intention to perform Umrah
Before pilgrims wish to enter the Al Masjid Al Haram (the sacred boundary of Makkah) and move across to perform Umrah, they should wear Ihram in order to make haram and traverse the five different areas of Miqats in the Haram boundary:
Dhu'l Hulaifah (Abbyar Ali) is for pilgrims coming from or through Madina
Al-Juhfah (near Rabigh) is for pilgrims coming from or through Syria, Morocco, or Egypt.
Qarn-al manazil (As-Sail Al-Kabeer) is for pilgrims coming from or through Najd or Taif.
Yalamlam (Sa'adiyah) is for pilgrims coming from or through India, Pakistan or Yemen.
Dhat `Irq is for pilgrims coming from or through Iraq.
Prior to visiting the sacred boundary of Makkah, pilgrims are mandated to assume a state of Ihram, which is the combined sacred act of Niyyah and Talbiyah necessary to perform Umrah. Niyyah is the innate intention to perform an act of worship, while Talbiyah is a special prayer said in supplication.
To become a Muhrim (a pilgrim that has attained the state of Ihram), a pilgrim must prepare himself for Ihram by following the below steps as instructed by the Prophet (PBUH):
Performing ablutions – cleansing the body to attain physical purity, which involves some rituals that are mandatory (Mushtahab) and others, are preferable for Ihram:
Ghusl (Mustahab)
Perfuming the head & beard. (Mustahab)
Clipping finger & toe nails (Preferred)
Trimming moustache (Preferred)
Shaving off unwanted body hair (Preferred)
Changing into the sacred attire of two-pieced white Ihram sheets (Izar and Rida) for men and ordinary Islamic clothes for women. Both, men and women, should wear the flip-flops or sandals that expose the middle bones of the midfoot.
Performing the two Rakats of Salah al-Ihram while covering the head.
Pronouncing the Niyyah as the Miqat approaches
Reciting Talbiyah repeatedly while traversing the Miqat stations in the sacred boundary of the Grand Holy Mosque until the commencement of Tawaf before travelling to Makkah for the next step of Umrah.
Tawaf – Circumambulation of the Holy Kaaba in worship
After assuming a state of Ihram, the Muhrim performs the obligatory act of Tawaf in the Al Masjid Al Haram. The Muhrim must stop reciting the Talbiyah and start circumambulating the holy Kaaba seven times (as a reminder of the angels that circumambulate the celestial realms of Allah's house, al-Bayt al-Ma'mur), by setting their right foot in and making Idtiba'a. Men must bare their right shoulder by placing the Rida under their right arm and the lower parts of it over their left shoulder during the entirety of Tawaf.
They must circumambulate the Masjid Al Haram by starting from the Black Stone and completing it there at with the sincere intention of seeking closeness to Allah. The worship is validated only if the pilgrim recites the prescribed du'aa (supplication) during each one of the seven circumambulations.
Pilgrims can to Istilam (kiss or gesture towards the Black Stone), if he/she can during the circumambulations. Otherwise, they can touch it with their right hand and start moving towards completing the seven anticlockwise circumambulations while reciting du'aa with the holy Kaaba on their left, without any interruptions or distractions.
During the first three circumambulations, only the men must make Ramal (fast-paced walk on entry into the holy Kaaba) and the remaining four are completed by walking (at a normal pace) between the al Rukn al Yamani (the Rukn of the holy Kaaba) and the Black Stone.
The last circumambulation ends exactly where the first one began, to ensure that the pilgrim completed all seven rounds without moving or falling behind a single step or more. And with the seventh round of circumambulation and performance of eight Istilam, the state of Tawaf concludes. At this point, men must cover their shoulders with the upper part of the Ihram sheet.
Upon completion of Tawaf, pilgrims can go behind Maqam Ibrahim (the station of Ibrahim) and perform Salat of Tawaf to offer the two short rak'aa's and thereafter drink the holy Zamzam water from Well of Zamzam in the basement of the Sacred Mosque while supplicating to Allah.
After drinking Zamzam, pilgrims then proceed to the Multazam, a section of the holy Kaaba between the Black Stone and the door of the Kaaba, to supplicate to Allah and offer du'aa.
Sa'iy – Walking seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah in worship
Umrah pilgrims intending to make Sa'iy must make their way out of the Al Masjid Al Haram towards the Masaa' (the place of Sa'iy) which commemorates the struggle Prophet Abraham's wife Hazarat Hajra went through to search for water for her son in between the hills of Safa in the south and Marwah in the North. In essence, Sa'iy is a great way to spend some time on self-reflection and self-realisation.
Pilgrims start Sa'iy by going up the hill of Safa to see the holy Kaaba from the Safa door. They must face the Kaaba with utmost devotion and love, while raising their hands to supplicate to Allah. They must then descend from Safa and walk towards the hill of Marwah while reciting the supplication Subhan Allah and keep moving until they reach two green pillars between which only the men have to run through while the women walk at a normal pace. When on top of Marwah, praise Allah facing the Kaaba and recite the supplication mentioning Allah.
The procedure continues with pilgrims going from Safa to Marwah and returning back to Safa, until the they complete seven laps in total. Each round is nearly 450m long. The seventh round will end at Marwah where all pilgrims must stand facing the Kaaba and repeat the same supplications that were recited at Safa. Men must perform Sa'iy with their shoulders covered.
After offering two Raka of Nafl (at a desirable time) in the Al Masjid Al Haram, pilgrims should come out of the Holy Mosque with their left foot out and then offer a du'aa.
Halq (shaving the head) or Taqsir (clipping or shortening of the hair for men and women)
Finally, the last step of your journey, shaving or clipping the hair in Mina. Men should get their head completely shaved, or get their hair clipped. While women are forbidden to shave their heads and only allowed to have a lock or strand of their hair clipped. The act of cutting the hair symbolizes one's detachment from physical appearances and complete subjection to Allah.
All the prohibitions imposed on the conduct of pilgrims by Irham are lifted, upon completion of this last obligatory ritual. They can then remove Ihram sheets and change into their regular clothes.

Makkah climate
Like most cities in the Arabian Peninsula, Makkah has a hot, dry desert climate. At the start of summer, around June, the temperature can rise to as high as 47°C (117°F). Summer sees regular sandstorms.
In winter, Makkah enjoys a warm climate with temperatures ranging between 25°C (77°F) during the day and 17°C (63°F) at night. There is some rainfall during winter, plus occasional storms and strong winds.
Top tips for dealing with hot weather in Makkah
Walking or hiking during Hajj or Umrah, especially in the middle of the day, can cause heat stroke. Protect your body from the scorching sun by following these simple tips:
Use umbrellas to avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
Rest between rituals and avoid making more effort than necessary.
Use sunscreen to avoid sunburn and dry skin, especially before performing sa'ay and tawaf in the afternoon.
Drink plenty of fluids (especially Zamzam water!) and avoid fizzy drinks because they can make you feel thirstier.
Take a light jacket in case of wind and carry a blanket for overnight stays.
Avoid crowds as much as possible in tents and when walking or performing rituals.
Of course, stay in a hotel with reliable air conditioning and good ventilation – such as one of the AccorHotels in Makkah.

Elsas hus var ett kulturhus för drogfri ungdomsverksamhet som låg på Elsa Brändströms gata 3 i Linköping. Elsas hus drevs mellan 1998 och 2018 av Studiefrämjandet i Östergötland på uppdrag av Linköpings kommun. Linköpings kommun valde att inte förnya avtalet under 2018, och därmed stängdes kulturhuset i juni samma år. Delar av verksamheten planerades fortsätta på Skylten i Linköping.

Byggnaden uppfördes 1875-1876 av Linköpings stads missionsförening (grundad 1858), och användes fram till mitten av 1990-talet som en kyrka tillhörande missionsförbundet och blev sedan fritidsgård. 1998 blev det kultur- och mediahus. 2001 startade Östgötateatern en scen för barn- och ungdomsteater i den gamla kyrksalen.

A Small Georgia Town Was Trying to Play by the Rules. The State Seized Its Vaccines Anyway.
"We're concerned that we'll get the virus before we get our shot."
Kiera ButlerFebruary 18, 2021
Update, February 19, 2021: After this piece was published, Dr. Poon reported that the Georgia Department of Health restored vaccines access to the Medical Center of Elberton. The clinic will be able to order shots starting March 8 and resume vaccinations March 15.
It was a gloriously sunny Wednesday in early February, but Dennis Fowler was worried. The 77-year-old retired transit worker sat in the waiting room at his doctor's office at the Medical Center of Elberton, a bustling clinic in rural Elbert County, Georgia. He was there for a routine appointment, but he had also come to ask his doctor about his COVID-19 vaccine. Weeks earlier, as soon as they'd heard they were eligible, Fowler and his wife called to make appointments to get their shots. The prospect of an immunization was a big relief: Dennis' wife had kidney failure, and the two had spent the last 11 months under strict quarantine to protect her. But a few days earlier, the Fowlers' doctor had called to tell them the bad news. They may not get a vaccine after all and would likely have to start the process all over again. "We're concerned that we'll get the virus before we get our shot," Fowler said.
The Fowlers are not the only ones in this Georgia community whose vaccinations were canceled. In late December, the county had finished vaccinating health care professionals and first responders, so the Elberton Medical Center opened up appointments to what they'd thought was the next tier: people over age 65 along with essential workers, including teachers. Most people in town cheered this development. The schools had been open since August, since remote learning was impossible for the community's many children who lacked internet access. But the doctors at the medical center didn't realize that the Georgia Department of Health had changed the guidelines in January, and teachers were not eligible after all. When the Georgia DPH found out that the Medical Center of Elberton had vaccinated 177 school workers with Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, state health officials meted out a harsh punishment. They suspended all vaccine shipments until July and seized most of the remaining doses in the clinic's freezer, leaving only enough for those who had already gotten their first dose to receive a second.
The state's seizure of the clinic's vaccine supply comes at a critical time. At the urging of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, many states have opened vaccine appointments to broader swaths of the community to speed the process and prevent wasted doses. Yet some local leaders are cracking down hard on anyone who doesn't rigidly adhere to guidelines. The New York Times recently reported that a physician in Houston was fired this month for giving away vaccine doses that otherwise would have gone to waste. Many public health experts question the logic of disciplining providers. "I think it's really important that we stop punishing groups or individuals for vaccinating those outside state or [national] COVID-19 vaccination guidelines," Peter Hotez, a vaccinologist and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, told me for a previous story. The guidelines, he said, "mostly serve as a barrier or hindrance to vaccinations rather than their intended purpose."
I visited the Medical Center of Elberton last week and chatted with Dr. Jonathan Poon, a physician who practices at the clinic, which is the largest in town and the main supplier of COVID-19 vaccines. He planned to distribute vaccines to the more than 3,000 patients the clinic sees every month. Now, like the Fowlers, most will struggle to get immunized elsewhere. About 70 percent lack private insurance, and many don't have internet access they'd need to book appointments at other locations. "We're in a very precarious situation," he said.
Kiera Butler/Mother Jones
Elbert County is in the far northeastern corner of Georgia, close to the South Carolina border. Many of its 20,000 residents are employed making tombstones and memorial statues out of stone—a mural downtown in Elberton, the county seat, boasts the town is "the monument capital of the world." Trucks bearing slabs of granite rumble through the modest downtown, a square of municipal buildings and a few storefronts still open for business: Stan's Music World, say, and Tena's Fine Jewelry & Gifts. On Friday nights, people go to see the the Blue Devils football team from the high school play at the Granite Bowl stadium, which is carved out of 100,000 tons of blue granite. The people here live modestly: In 2018, the median household income was about $44,000, and nearly 20 percent lived below the poverty line.
On the day that I visited, I watched as residents stopped to greet each other around town. The older ladies had names like Sarabelle and Shelly Anne. "How's your mama?" They asked neighbors at the pharmacy. "She managing okay?"
Almost everyone in this county knows Dr. Poon because he's lived here almost his whole life. His family, originally from Hong Kong, moved to Elberton when Poon was 3 months old so his father could practice family medicine. Poon decided to follow in his father's footsteps, and after medical school and residency, he moved back home to practice family medicine. Today, he sees patients down the hall from his father.
Poon, who has an unflappable air about him and speaks in a slow Southern drawl, isn't used to being in the spotlight. He spends his days at the clinic, seeing local patients at all phases of life: children with sore throats, pregnant women, elderly people who need medication for diabetes. But in the last few weeks, Poon has appeared on TV news shows, talking about how much the people of Elbert County need the vaccines that the state took away. As he and I walked from the parking lot of the medical center to the pharmacy, neighbors greeted him like a conquering hero. "Thank you so much for what you're doing for our town," a man in a pickup truck said through his window. "I really mean it."
"Thank you so much for what you're doing for our town. I really mean it."
When Poon and his colleagues heard in November that vaccines would be available by the end of the year, their planning went into overdrive. The clinic purchased a special freezer for $7,000, and a trailer to use as a vaccination clinic for $90,000. They wanted to make it as easy as possible for their patients to get vaccines, and they aimed to get the process started quickly. They saw how their community was suffering.
COVID-19 ripped through Elbert County this winter. So intense was the spread of disease that the small local hospital had to send patients to ICUs as far away as Jacksonville, Florida. The county EMS team has been stretched thin, transferring patients while also trying to provide regular emergency services to the county. In the three local nursing homes, the COVID-19 mortality rate was 30 percent. Poon estimates that 30 or 40 people died of the virus.
The county's plight did not move the state public health department to reverse its decision despite Poon's efforts. When I contacted the Georgia DPH for a previous story, spokesperson Nancy Nydam responded, "It is critical that DPH maintains the highest standards for vaccine accountability to ensure all federal and state requirements are adhered to by all parties, and vaccine is administered efficiently and equitably." In other words, there was little hope for recourse.
When the state seized the medical center's vaccines, the pharmacy next door, Madden's, attempted to pick up some of the slack, applying to receive more vaccine doses from the state, a process that took several weeks. The gregarious head pharmacist, Don Piela, has been working hard to book appointments every day. As he stood behind the prescriptions counter, he told me he had to bring in help to cope with the demand for vaccine. His wife, who usually works as a pharmacist in another town, came into assist with booking appointments and performing vaccinations. The pharmacists also had to contend with unscrupulous line jumpers. An Atlanta couple in their 50s, for instance, drove two hours from the suburbs for a vaccine, claiming they were caregivers for the woman's elderly mother, who lived in Tennessee. The pharmacists had to turn them away.
Piela told me he's grateful that his pharmacy was able to help with vaccines, but he's worried that the state's decision to punish the medical center could have consequences beyond the pandemic. "If the state is coming in and suspending vaccines to a medical facility, there's part of your population says, 'Well, they must have been doing something wrong,'" he says. "If you damage the reputation of anybody, that's damaging. But especially somebody that's in health care, that's really even more damaging."
Dennis Fowler, 77, at the Medical Center of Elberton;
Poon and his colleagues are working hard to try to convince state officials to restore their vaccine supply. They've been meeting regularly with county leaders, who have appealed the state's decision twice, with no luck. State public health representatives responded with a letter stating that the decision to withhold vaccines will stand. Poon is worried that all the delays are wasting valuable time. Every day that Elbert County residents don't get vaccinated is another day they could contract the virus. Meanwhile, more contagious variants are spreading quickly; the one that originated in Africa already has been identified in neighboring South Carolina.
Fowler, the 77-year-old whose vaccine appointment was canceled, is frustrated about being stuck in the house indefinitely, always worried about the fragility of his wife—and himself. If the state doesn't restore vaccine shipments, he'll make an appointment at Madden's, but he doesn't know how long he'll have to wait—it could be weeks. He misses seeing his neighbors and going for a date with his wife to the Outback Steakhouse. He's eager to get back to church. "I'm hoping something will come through," he said, "and we will be able to get our shots."
Standing in front of the clinic, Poon looked at the vaccine trailer his practice had purchased and shook his head. He intends to keep trying to impress upon the state that his patients deserve vaccines, and that he and his colleagues never meant to flout any rules. "There's nothing we're doing for personal gain," he said. "We're just trying to do the right thing."

I agree that achieving projects would be a huge help and a reason to pay for premium.
Is there any update on this? I COMPLETELY agree that an option to archive teams would be extremely helpful and would add tremendously to the organization solutions that Asana is built around!
It's completely short sighted that this feature doesn't exist. It's almost becoming a deal breaker for how we use Asana as a creative agency working with many different clients. It's too convoluted to keep moving things around rather than just archiving a team that might need to be revived at a later point.
+1 for this feature as well. We're at 24 teams for our agency and will be adding more. When we made the switch to Asana, we assumed this feature existed because it seems so standard. It will likely reach the point of being unmanageable in the near future and we're already talking about moving to another system. We love most everything else about Asana and would prefer not to switch. Is there any update on whether this is coming?
Tacking on another upvote to this for all the same reasons mentioned.
I agree with what everyone is requesting above. The ability to archive teams would be extremely helpful to our agency.
If I try to Delete the team via Team Settings, a note pops up that says "Deleting this team will delete all the projects and tasks associated with it. All team members will no longer have access to any of the information". Does deleting the team ALSO delete all of the archived projects that were listed under this team or is it just the open projects that are deleted?
BUMP, this is a must for any agency using the system. Please prioritize this simple feature.
Yes pls! We don't use team level communication because of the fact it's gone after deleting a team. Archiving or the possibility to set teams (or projects) to 'invisible' would be a feature more than welcome!
+1 to this option - it would be incredibly useful!
We've been using Asana for 10+ years now, and as our company has grown, we've naturally changed the way we use Asana + structure our teams and departments.
It would great to be to able to archive our historical teams without losing information and without cluttering up certain peoples' Asana workspace with lot of old, private teams.
We agree too! We're an agency and upgraded to the paid version hoping we'd have this feature (archive but not delete), but in searching for a solution, I found this page. Please add!
Just like dragging a card to another column, when user start to drag a card, an area for trashing cards will appear on UI, so if user drags the card into that area it will be removed quickly. Offering a short "Undo" time afterwards, of course.!
