Sukhman Bajwa, Inspiring Youth
By Shanel Khaliq, 24 Jan, 2017 03:59 PM
Bajwa is the founder of Unified 4 Change, an organization that creates volunteer opportunities for young people, which he started when he was 15-years-old
Sukhman Bajwa is all set to take on the menace of homelessness in his hometown, Surrey. He is the founder of Unified 4 Change, an organization that creates volunteer opportunities for young people. Bajwa started it when he was only 15; today, two years later, the organization boasts over 450 members from elementary schools, high schools, and post-secondary institutes all across Canada involved in supporting various causes, including the fight against homelessness.
In November 2015, over 600 individuals came together to raise funds for a homeless shelter and start a program to get people off the streets of Surrey. They ended up raising thousands successfully. Since then, Unified 4 Change has taken a number of initiatives; it has held financial literacy classes and bingo nights at Hyland House (Surrey) to prevent homelessness.
Currently Bajwa is enrolled at Tamanawis Secondary School in Grade 12 and is in the process of applying to post-secondary schools. Education has always been a top priority for him but after changing schools in Grade 11, he realised that joining clubs and volunteer activities was a great way to familiarise himself with his new surroundings and make friends.
Initially however, he found out that most of the volunteer opportunities outside of school had a minimum age requirement that he could not fulfil at the time. That is when he realised that he could use this gap as an opportunity to start Unified 4 Change. Since then, there has been no looking back. "Unified for Change also has a mission to provide financial and moral support for young individuals aiming to make their dream become reality," says Bajwa who has had a knack for volunteer work since an early age.
It also led to the creation of the Hometown Hero Scholarship, a $500 scholarship that has attracted over 90 applications. Additionally, Unified 4 Change has also fundraised $1,000 to sponsor a Community Leadership Scholarship.
Unified 4 Change currently has members at the University of British Columbia and a registered club at the Simon Fraser University (SFU). "The knowledge, wisdom, and experiences that these students bring to this organi- sation have enabled us to do so much more. At SFU, the club has been working on many projects and have taken the lead in fighting homelessness in Surrey. In Ontario, Unified 4 Change has partnered up with organizations and local business to fundraise for eye treatment for the less fortunate in India," says Bajwa proudly.
Two years back, Bajwa also founded 'Juvo', a private venture firm for non-profits. The purpose of this innovative organization is to provide grants of up to $500 for youth in the community. As the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), he has helped local youth start their non-profits to raise awareness for their causes.
The young social worker has more plans in the pipeline. "What I see now is that organizations such as Kids Play, SOAR Philanthropic Society, and Unified 4 Change have been working together to hold events and fundraise in the community. Given the resources of all these organisations, working together has enabled us to help so many more individuals and have an everlasting effect. I hope to work with other organisations and truly explore the change we can bring to this world. The support that I have received from my community over the years is a testament of how the community can work together for greater good," shares Bajwa.
In fact, Saurabh Bangar, the CEO of SOAR Philanthropic Society, is one of his greatest inspirations. "After joining SOAR three years ago, I have grown very close to Saurabh and have learned so much from him. From taking me to downtown to the head offices of companies such as Daily Hive Vancouver to just having deep conversations with me, he has opened up my perception of this world. I am blessed to have someone in my life that plays the role of an idol, mentor, and friend all at the same time," says Bajwa, who is a Youth Executive Director at SOAR.
Beyond his involvement with the community, Bajwa enjoys sports. He started playing field hockey in grade four and has been in love with the game ever since. Currently, he is a member of the Junior Men's National Field Hockey Team and has captained both the Under 15 and Under 18 Provincial Teams.

Paul Revere's Ride

About Paul Revere's Ride
The classic poem in a newly illustrated edition. Paul Revere and his famous ride were immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in a poem published in 1861, more than eighty years after the even. Longfellow wrote the poem at the time of the Civil War. He hoped that his story of an ordinary citizen who comes to the aid of his country would stir patriotic feelings and support for the Union. He was right. In face, if it hadn't been for Longfellow, Paul Revere may have remained a local legend. The poem fired the imaginations of Americans and a national hero was born. This illustrated edition of the classic poem features vivid oil paintings by Monica Vachula, whose research into period and place can be seen in the smallest detail. A concluding note by historian Jayne Triber, author of A True Republican: The Life of Paul Revere, explores the poem and Paul Revere's place in American history.

"Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's classic Paul Revere's Ride is newly interpreted with illustrations by Monica Vachula. Throughout, detailed oil paintings are framed against a textured backdrop, which looks like antique linen. Smaller inset illustrations (of the two lamps, or the 'startled…pigeons') appear beneath each stanza. Paintings of New England livestock and a closing portrait of Revere are especially well rendered." —Publishers Weekly

When March goes out like a lamb, it's time for landlords and tenants to look at property matters that developed during winter's deep freeze.
Spring maintenance items that affect habitability are most important, but it's also the best time to address small defects that could turn into big ones, if they're left unaddressed. Summer is coming, the best season to make repairs.
Warming temperatures create a good opportunity for landlords and property managers to inspect rental units and make a plan for spring maintenance. Tenants could handle some of the maintenance—especially in the yard or garden—but leaks, burst pipes, and other problems that affect habitability most likely need professional attention.
Check the roof and siding for deterioration. You don't have to get on a ladder to see roof damage. Missing or broken shingles are usually visible from the ground.
Look for gutter leaks. Ice and snow are hard on gutters, and any leak you see should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to the siding or erosion around the foundation.
Test the outdoor faucets. If water froze in the pipes, they may leak.
Inspect the walkways and driveway for cracks. This could happen from earth movements during freezing weather. These cracks need to be repaired or water will seep through them and cause further erosion.
Note any rot. Look on wood siding, trim, fences, or decking. A small amount of rot isn't an urgent problem, but if the rot is extensive, now is the time to deal with it.
Pay attention to the condition of the lawn, garden, and surrounding foliage. Spring is the best time to prune back any branches that threaten to block windows or overhang the roof later in the summer.
Assess the damage caused by roof or siding leaks. This could range from soggy drywall and mold to warped flooring or compromised electrical fixtures.
Note the condition of the floors and carpet. People tend to track salt-laden snow through the house on cold winter days.
Turn on the air conditioners. You want to make sure they work. Now is a good time to replace the filters.
Check for pests. Look for termites, cockroaches, and rodents. Critters tend to hunker down in the walls during winter, and they'll still be there when spring comes.
Related: Ask Lucas 030: How do you perform an annual property inspection?
When it comes to repairs that affect habitability, such as major leaks and resultant water damage, it's the landlord's responsibility to do them or hire someone to do them.
The responsibility isn't as clear-cut when it comes to defects that only affect the tenant's enjoyment of the property. Peeling paint and displaced walkway pavers may be unsightly, for example, but they don't stop life from going on. It may make sense to give tenants the option to make some of these repairs themselves. To avoid confusion over the issue of who's going to pay, include a lease clause or amendment that covers it.
Lawn and garden maintenance is one area that the lease should cover. Many tenants like landscaping and may even consider a green light to do it themselves a perk of living on the property. But other tenants prefer this job be done for them. Landlords might consider charging more per month if they need to provide landscaping services.
General indoor cleaning is another lease topic for areas such as hardwood floors (that can suffer damage from salt and water), an unfinished basement, and the fireplace or wood stove. Whether it's spring maintenance or year-round maintenance, it helps to clarify responsibilities in writing.
Once you've made your game plan, itemize the repairs you need to make with some urgency, and take care of those as soon as possible. Leave the others for later, but keep the list as a reminder. Priorities tend to change as the weather warms up and summer arrives, but winter will come again, and problems you don't handle this year will be there next year. And they'll be that much bigger.
Such a nice information. Good content. Keep it up.

On the Come Up by Angie Thomas

Book Club Pick: April 2020
Title: On the Come Up
Publisher: Walker Books
Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. It's hard to get your come up, through, when you're labeled "trouble" at school and your fridge at home is empty after your mom loses her job. But Bri's success is all that stands between her family and homelessness, so she doesn't just want to make it – she has to.
Even if it means becoming exactly what the public expects her to be.
Sixteen-year-old Brianna 'Bri' Jackson attends a public arts school and is an inspiring rapper. Her father Lawless, an underground rapper, was shot dead by a rival gang when she was a child. Bri is raised by her mother Jay, a recovering drug addict who has been clean for eight years. Jay is behind with the rent and struggling to put food on the table.
Bri is also supported by Aunt Pooh, a gang member and drug dealer, and her older brother Trey, the college-educated golden boy of family, who despite his education is unable to find a good job.
There are racial tensions at her school. There is an incident where two security officers throw Bri to the ground assuming she is a drug dealer. Bri puts her frustration and anger about the injustice black students face into a rap song, which goes viral.
Bri wins a rap battle at a local hip-hop venue. Will this be her breakout moment and her chance to score her a recording contract?
On the Come Up, is set in Garden Heights, the same predominantly black and poor neigbourhood as Thomas' debut novel The Hate U Give. It is not a sequel, but takes places following the events of The Hate U Give.
Thomas herself was rapper as teenage and when I read Bri's raps I could her voice clearly. I usually dislike when authors write lyrics into novels, but Thomas nails it.
On the Come Up is a compelling coming-of-age story about young black woman finding her voice.

The Men of Harvard Lacrosse Documentary
Lars Keil
Title: Operations Assistant
Email: larskeil@fas.harvard.edu
Previous College: Springfield '05
Experience: First Season
Lars Keil is in his first season as the lacrosse operations assistant at Harvard.
Keil joins the Crimson after spending time at Brown, Endicott, Bates, and the women's team at Duke. His journey a stint as head coach at Pfieffer, where he led a top-10 ranked program to its best record in the program's 30-year history. Keil was most recently a women's assistant coach at Bentley.

Keil is a 2005 graduate of Springfield, and he received his master's degree from Endicott in 2013.


Michael White's piece in the Guardian today makes the case I sketched out yesterday, but in more detail. I believe that Alex Salmond is very clever, and actually I think he has left-wing values, so no complaints there. Any clever person in his shoes would be playing his cards in the way that he is. I don't think it's insulting him to say that a wily politician is behaving as a wily politician. The SNP vote is a consolidation of a very wide range of different opinions, and they only hang together for as long as they have the move towards independence as a goal.
The current boost to the SNP has come from the collapse of the right wing vote in Scotland, while the Labour vote has remained more or less stable, making Salmond's current voting bloc even more diverse than it was before. That is: SNP used to attract progressive left wing voters, who are still there, but now it also relies on an increased bloc of less left wing voters, redirected from parties to the right of centre which have lost votes. Therefore it is in his interests, and probably in his view the interests of progress to a more equitable society, to play the game exactly as he is doing, which is to be 'flexible'. In a way, that's what clever means, accommodation to circumstances. On independence the divisions will of necessity come out, and have to be accommodated by a political landscape with a range of choices.
In other words, he is neither the messiah or a very naughty boy, but a wily chap playing a nippy game in a shifting world. Or perhaps he's actually become more right wing in his convictions, but either way the effect is the same.


Schools Matter: Does your candidate hold left wing or right wing views on education?
Does your candidate hold left wing or right wing views on education?
Is your candidate progressive or reactionary on education issues? One measure is to compare their views to those of the notoriously right-wing JBS. Here we look at some critical issues facing students, families, and our public schools.

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) - Acts 8
8 And Saul was [not only] consenting to [Stephen's] death [he was [a]pleased and [b]entirely approving]. On that day a great and severe persecution broke out against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles (special messengers).
2 [A party of] devout men [c]with others helped to carry out and bury Stephen and made great lamentation over him.
3 But Saul shamefully treated and laid waste the church continuously [with cruelty and violence]; and entering house after house, he dragged out men and women and committed them to prison.
4 Now those who were scattered abroad went about [through the land from place to place] preaching the glad tidings, the Word [[d]the doctrine concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God].
5 Philip [the deacon, not the apostle] went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ (the Messiah) to them [the people];(A)
6 And great crowds of people with one accord listened to and heeded what was said by Philip, as they heard him and watched the miracles and wonders which he kept performing [from time to time].
7 For foul spirits came out of many who were possessed by them, screaming and shouting with a loud voice, and many who were suffering from palsy or were crippled were restored to health.
8 And there was great rejoicing in that city.
9 But there was a man named Simon, who had formerly practiced magic arts in the city to the utter amazement of the Samaritan nation, claiming that he himself was an extraordinary and distinguished person.
10 They all paid earnest attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that exhibition of the power of God which is called great (intense).
11 And they were attentive and made much of him, because for a long time he had amazed and bewildered and dazzled them with his skill in magic arts.
12 But when they believed the good news (the Gospel) about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) as Philip preached it, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Even Simon himself believed [he adhered to, trusted in, and relied on the teaching of Philip], and after being baptized, devoted himself constantly to him. And seeing signs and miracles of great power which were being performed, he was utterly amazed.
14 Now when the apostles (special messengers) at Jerusalem heard that [the country of] Samaria had accepted and welcomed the Word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
15 And they came down and prayed for them that the Samaritans might receive the Holy Spirit;
16 For He had not yet fallen upon any of them, but they had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Then [the apostles] laid their hands on them one by one, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 However, when Simon saw that the [Holy] Spirit was imparted through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he brought money and offered it to them,
19 Saying, Grant me also this power and authority, in order that anyone on whom I place my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.
20 But Peter said to him, Destruction overtake your money and you, because you imagined you could obtain the [free] gift of God with money!
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is all wrong in God's sight [it is not straightforward or right or true before God].(B)
22 So repent of this depravity and wickedness of yours and pray to the Lord that, if possible, this [e]contriving thought and purpose of your heart may be removed and disregarded and forgiven you.
23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in [f]a bond forged by iniquity [to fetter souls].(C)
24 And Simon answered, Pray for me [beseech the Lord, both of you], that nothing of what you have said may befall me!
25 Now when [the apostles] had borne their testimony and preached the message of the Lord, they went back to Jerusalem, proclaiming the glad tidings (Gospel) to many villages of the Samaritans [on the way].
26 But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Rise and proceed southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza. This is the desert [[g]route].
27 So he got up and went. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship.
28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah.
29 Then the [Holy] Spirit said to Philip, Go forward and join yourself to this chariot.
30 Accordingly Philip, running up to him, heard [the man] reading the prophet Isaiah and asked, Do you really understand what you are reading?
31 And he said, How is it possible for me to do so unless someone explains it to me and guides me [in the right way]? And he earnestly requested Philip to come up and sit beside him.
32 Now this was the passage of Scripture which he was reading: Like a sheep He was led to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so He opens not His mouth.
33 In His humiliation [h] He was taken away by distressing and oppressive judgment and justice was denied Him [caused to cease]. Who can describe or relate in full [i]the wickedness of His contemporaries (generation)? For His life is taken from the earth and [j]a bloody death inflicted upon Him.(D)
34 And the eunuch said to Philip, I beg of you, tell me about whom does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this portion of Scripture he announced to him the glad tidings (Gospel) of Jesus and about Him.
36 And as they continued along on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch exclaimed, See, [here is] water! What is to hinder my being baptized?
37 [k]And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart [if you have [l]a conviction, full of joyful trust, that Jesus is the Messiah and accept Him as the Author of your salvation in the kingdom of God, giving Him your obedience, then] you may. And he replied, I do believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he ordered that the chariot be stopped; and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and [Philip] baptized him.
39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord [[m]suddenly] caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus, and passing on he preached the good news (Gospel) to all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

Not your typical mom and pops cg, this place is huge. Wouldn't be our first pick but we got stuck here for Columbus weekend so kind of a mixed review. When you have kids this os the place to go probably won't be seeing a lot of them. But just the two of us in a small truckcamper on the overflow parking it was ok. Very friendly staff, loads of amenities etcetera, wifi was ok for email.
We camped here for four nights as part of a group of 80+ Roadtreks for a fall chapter rally. The campground staff went out of their way to be very accommodating, helpful, and we're extremely friendly and nice. The CG is large and offers many activities. The sites are close together but designed so that you don't feel crowded in. There are trees for shade and lot's of green around the sites. Being a part of a large group we got a good price break for our stay. Coming on your own this is one of the more expensive places to stay. For the price, you get a well maintained, clean, and friendly place where you have the opportunity to swim, fish, hike, bike, frisbee golf, relax and have fun.
Best campground in the northeast! We love starting out camping season out in April here. Indoor pool, hot tub and jacuzzi, great lounge for adults and children, and by far the MOST impressive dog park ever! Can't wait to go again!

REIWA reveals Perth suburbs where houses are rented out quickest in the 2022 rental crunch
As rental prices soar across Perth, tenants are swooping on some of the city's hottest rental suburbs.
With interest rate hikes and a property boom resulting in record median house prices across the State, homes close to train stations and schools are in more demand than ever.
But tenants have to be quick. Homes in some Perth suburbs take as little as nine days, on average, to be snapped up.
Here are the Perth suburbs where properties are leased out quickest.
10 – East Perth
It takes an average of just 11 days for a rental property to be filled in East Perth, with the river and the city on its doorstep. But tenants need a fat wallet to afford the convenience of the city's fringe. Median rents in the suburb cost $585 – well above the city's average of $470. But the high price appears to have been no deterrant – in the year to May, 52 houses were snapped up in East Perth.
9 – The Vines
The lure of the Swan Valley remains strong for those looking to rent. The Vines is in hot demand, with properties taking an average of just 10 days to rent out. Even though it's 25km out of the CBD, it still costs a whopping $520 a week on average to rent here. In the 12 months to May, 35 homes have been rented out in the suburb.

8 – Seville Grove
By far the most rented suburb in the top 10 was Seville Grove, in Perth south-east, perhaps owing to its affordable rental price. It costs an average of just $435 a week to rent in the suburb, which is a student and family haven with two schools and a TAFE and had 120 new tenants in the year to May. It takes an average of just 10 days for a rental to be snapped up in Seville Grove.
7 – lynwood
The eastern Perth suburb of Lynwood is also a parents' haven with a primary and high school in the region. The median rent is also below Perth's average at $460 a week. Rental properties are advertised for an average of 10 days before they're filled in the suburb.

6-Langford
Also in Perth's eastern suburbs, this is by far the cheapest place to rent on the list. It costs an average of just $410 a week to rent a home in Langford, which is close to the Westfield Carousel Shopping Centre. Homes take an average of 10 days to be snapped up in the suburb.
5 – Karrinyup
The redevelopment of Karrinyup Shopping Center and its proximity to both the city and beach has resulted in a flood of tenants vying to rent nearby. Rental prices cost a whopping $555 on average but that hasn't deterred 84 tenants from taking on homes in the suburb.

4 – Huntingdale
With below-average rental prices of just $440 a week, Huntingdale, 20km south-east of Perth is also popular. It takes an average of just 10 days for a home to be snapped up in the region, which has several schools and has attracted 59 tenants in the year to May.
3-Eglington
Smack on Perth's average rental price of $470 a week, this northern suburb has been dubbed "one to watch" for investors and tenants by the Real Estate Institute of WA, because of the potential for future development in the area. It may be 43km north of the city, but 55 tenants chose to live there in the year to May.
Trig, City Beach and Cottesloe are the top three suburbs driving Perth's property boom
2 – Marangaroo
Also in Perth's northern suburbs, Marangaroo is considered a family-oriented suburb with heaps of schooling options. But tenants have to move quickly to find a home in the suburb, with an average leasing time of just nine days making it one of Perth's hottest rental suburbs. In the year to May, 43 homes were rented out at an average price of $500 a week.
1 – Camillo
But Perth's hottest rental suburb is south of the river. In Camillo, homes are advertised for an average of just nine days before they're snapped up and, it's no surprise why. With an average rental price of just $380 a week it's one of the cheapest places in Perth to rent a home. It's also a commuter's dream, close to the highway and train station. In the 12 months to May, 39 homes were leased in Camillo.

Here you will find answers to some of our most asked questions.
Tell me about Smokey Paws?
We are a not for profit company working to donate pet oxygen masks to the UK first responders.
You can visit our Donations page and choose the format of your donation.
Yes – visit our donations page and choose 'Regular Donation', before selecting your amount.
Our Founders, Lynn and Brian were talking about fire escape plans for our house and the subject of our dog came up. Lynn was familiar with the pet oxygen masks as they are used in the USA, (Lynn is from New York) she mentioned them. Brian did not feel it was something available in England and Lynn felt he had to be mistaken. SO… they visited their local station and they were very receptive so we decided to import a set and donate it to their local station in Weston-super-mare. After the local papers covered the handover, they were contacted by other members of the public who wanted their local brigade to have the masks as well. So they could not do nothing…and so Smokey Paws was born!
What is the mission of Smokey Paws?
To equip every first responder in the UK with pet oxygen masks.
To date, how many units have been delivered?
How do you decide which stations get the masks?
Why can't human oxygen masks be used on animals?
The human masks are not the correct shape and the animal masks have a conical shape to fit over the snout. The fire service uses the human masks now but they only give the animal about 10-15% of the oxygen, the animal masks give the animal 85-90% oxygen so are much more effective.
How do people get involved and help with Smokey Paws?
They can contact us and we can brainstorm what would work best for them. We have had everything from school walks, to people running marathons…so we are open and happy to support anyone's efforts.
What's your target for the number of units you want to get out to fire stations?
There are 3551 fire appliances in the UK and we would like to get them on all of them.

Apex Landfill Possibly Disposing Liquid Waste at Amsterdam Plant
After the Jefferson County Health Department received complaints about the odor from the Apex Landfill, the company decided to take a different approach to disposing of some of its leachate
Apex landfill officials are in the process of speaking to Jefferson County commissioners about disposing of some of its leachate in Amsterdam's new wastewater treatment system.
The Jefferson County Health Department has received many complaints about the odor from the Apex Landfill in the past few years, according to WTOV9.
"We're looking to upgrade our capabilities at the landfill," said COO Anthony Rizzo. "I'm aware Amsterdam is in the midst of a wastewater treatment project and wanted to see if there was a way we could combine our efforts."
The landfill currently hauls its leachate to about four different locations, reported the Herald-Star Online.
In January, Prophet Equity announced the merger of Apex Environmental Resources Holdings with the Action Environmental Group Inc., now known as Collectively Interstate Waste Services Inc.
According to Commissioner Tom Gentile, the issue they have had in the past is how concentrated leachate is.
"At one point when we talked to Apex some time back, what they wanted us to take on a daily basis was more than the entire capacity of the plant we're building," said Gentile.
The sewer project will total $11.4 million and should be done by the end of 2020, reported the Herald-Star Online. It will service approximately 400 homes, with a quarter of them in Carroll County.
The system is needed due to faulty septic tanks in that area, which are dumping wastes into Yellow Creek, added County Water-Sewer Superintendent Mike Eroshevich.
According to Gentile, there will not be much excess capacity with the new sewer system, especially in regards to leachate, but the plant is possibly expandable to some extent.

Greeley CO Orthodontist Answers: What Happens If I Miss My Orthodontic Appointment?
Our top-rated Greeley CO orthodontist explains that missing orthodontic appointments can prolong your specific treatment. State-of-the-art orthodontic treatment is achieved by micro-precision corrections that our orthodontist in Greeley utilizes to perfect your smile. However, it can be easy for your smile's progress to stall—or, in some cases, reverse—if you don't go to your orthodontic appointments.
Why Are Orthodontic Appointments with Your Greeley CO Orthodontist So Important?
Your initial orthodontic appointment will consist of a consultation. At the following appointment, the orthodontic appliances best suited for your smile will be applied. Our orthodontist in Greeley CO works to prescribe the most effective treatment plan that will ensure lasting results in the timeliest manner.
Our Greeley orthodontic office will also explain how often follow-up appointments are necessary. Once you have begun your orthodontic treatment, your orthodontic appointments are crucial to keeping your progress going. Our orthodontist in Greeley makes decisions based on rather predictable patterns of teeth movement, but every smile is different.
Some teeth move slower or faster than others. Regular orthodontic appointments are necessary to account for that. Your teeth may move quickly and respond positively to the initial settings of your orthodontic treatment. Your progress may halt if you skip your next orthodontic appointment and don't have your treatment adjusted for further movement. Our 5-star orthodontic office near Greeley works to ensure you never wear your orthodontic appliances without working towards a result. This saves you time and money!
If you must miss an appointment, our Greeley CO orthodontist recommends calling your orthodontist's office and rescheduling as soon as possible. Many orthodontic offices are happy to help accommodate changes in schedules. However, be sure to check the policy of your orthodontic office, as some charge "no show" or broken appointment fees.

Can hypnotism get respectable?
Everyone reading this could probably perform the trick above. It takes no magic powers to be a hypnotist. But as long as this strange phenomenon is exploited by showmen how can Canadian doctors and dentists use it openly?
ROBERT PARRIS September 3 1955
Can hypnotism get respectable? ROBERT PARRIS September 3 1955
ROBERT PARRIS
AT A private demonstration before the Ontario Dental Nurses' and Assistants' Association in the Royal York Hotel last year, Dr. Donald S. Moore, a Hamilton dentist, showed how usually painful dental work could be done painlessly without the use of anesthetics. Specifically denying that he used hypnotism, he talked his patient into a state of "psychosomatic relaxation." He demonstrated how he could, at will, make the patient feel no pain on only one side of his face while the other side remained normally sensitive. Moore had previously demonstrated his technique before the dean and professors of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons at the University of Toronto. Newspapermen were not permitted to attend either of these demonstrations.
In the previous summer of 1953 an itinerant stage hypnotist called The Great Doctor Zomb put a Banff girl named Betty Black into a trance. The next day the effects had not worn off completely and she fell asleep three times. The Great Doctor Zomb, by then appearing at Wainwright, Alta., wired instructions to Banff doctors on how to get Betty completely out of her trance. She was last reported improving in Banff Springs Hospital.
These two news items—one an officially approved report of a scientific demonstration handed to the Press by a highly reputable profession organization; the other a piece of tragi-comedy wired out over the Canadian Press as a "summer filler"
-—in a way sum up the hypnotism problem in Canada today.
On one hand, you have the British Medical Association this spring approving the use of hypnotism in medical practice and recommending that anesthetists, psychologists and obstetricians be taught how to use it. On the other, you have The Great Romeo hypnotizing a teen-ager in Maniwaki, Que., in a well-publicized effort to help the police find a lost child.
Doctors and dentists, many of whom are using hypnotism regularly without talking about it publicly, become understandably angry when stage hypnotists venture into medical preserves. And many professional men believe that even stage demonstrations of hypnotism should be outlawed. Britain took this step in 1952 when the Hypnotism Act was passed to protect susceptible persons from harmful effects at the hands of a hypnotist with no medical or psychological training. But the act prohibits only stage demonstrations; it does not specifically block the lay hypnotist from treating people. One incident that prompted the British action was the case of a woman who was placed in a state of catalepsy (in which the body becomes rigid) by a stage hypnotist. The showman placed chairs under the woman's head and feet and left the rest of her body unsupported. Then he invited members of the audience to come forward and smash a rock that he placed on her stomach. One willing watcher swung the heavy hammer, missed the
rock and hit the woman. She died.
Sunday-supplement stories and films about Rasputin, the Mad Monk who supposedly bewitched a Russian empress, and Svengali, who became synonymous with hypnotism after his appearance in George du Maurier's Trilby, have kept the public's curiosity whetted about this phenomenon and Canada has always been a good pitch for the traveling hypnotist. They all seem to be Great—The Great Dr. Zomb and The Great Romeo already mentioned, The Great Morton, The Great Raymond (none other thanj an ex-Toronto Star photographeij named Ray Munro). Morton, a bearded Australian, filled the Roya! Alexandra, Canada's biggest legitimate theatre, for an astonishing eight weeks in a recent year.
Some of them perfect their trade before the footlights then retire to the shaded lights of an office suite and offer their hypnotic services to the public. The best known of these is thirty-one-year-old Stephen Steiner, a self-taught hypnotist and head of the Institute of Hypnotherapy, with an office on Toronto's Bay Street.
The neat and serious Steiner, unlike many doctors, is most affable with newspapermen and has thus earned considerable publicity. His institute was the subject of a series of articles by the science reporter of the Toronto Telegram, has demons strated on CBLT's Tabloid, ha¿ helped a Toronto detective regaiij the memory he lost after a gun duel with a trio of bandits, has advised mothers who desire childbirth withi out anesthetics. He offers individual instruction to stammerers and stutterers and consultation in cases of overeating, insomnia, nail biting, bed wetting and other conditions.
Steiner claims that in Montreal he worked with doctors "on special cases" and that he has started nine Toronto dentists studying hypnosis. The medical and dental professional organizations, however, will have nc truck with Steiner, or with any medically unqualified hypnotist. Thej are convinced that serious trouble could befall a person treated for any kind of ailment by a lay hypnotisteven where an apparent "cure" was effected, the hypnotist's lack of; medical knowledge could result ire deeper psychological damage.
The doctors can point to wide evidence of quackery in the hypnotic field. William Lewis, of Lake Park, Chicago, advertises: "Hypnotism can help you! Control your chffdren, control the sex function by suggestion! Happiness in marriage can be yours! Send today for this breathtaking course. $1.50 complete." Many "hypnology schools" now in operation offer to train you for a career in stage hypnotism. They are mostly run by persons who call themselves "doctor," yet never list theii degrees. In the U. S., the Chicagc Institute of Hypnosis, directed by Edwin Baron and the Wilshirf School of Hypnotism in Hollywood run by Melvin Powers, are cases ir point. At Rexford North's Hypno tism Centre
Fiction's wicked Svengali keeps giving hypnotism a bad name
in Boston ("a complete ten-lesson course for only $20") advertisements list an oriental perfume ("a soothing aid in producing an atmosphere conducive to the induction of hypnotism; one ounce, with instruction, $1.50"), hypnodisks and miniature crystals for the induction of hypnotism, and hooks such as How To Get Publicity With Hypnosis and How to Make Money With Hypnotism.
The opponents of popular hypnotism can also point warningly to the case in Copenhagen last year where Bjorn Nielson was sentenced to life imprisonment for hypnotizing Palle Hardrup and causing him to rob a bank. Two cashiers were killed during the robbery and Hardrup was committed to a mental institution.
Hypnosis already has a long medical record. There are evidences that primitive man used it, perhaps unwittingly. The ancient Egyptians were skilled in its use, as were the Greeks. The Austrian physician and mystic Franz Mesmer developed a flourishing business around it in the eighteenth century, though subsequently the claims he made for his powers were largely discredited. In the mid-nineteenth century a French doctor named Jean Marcot made use of the science in his studies, and later Sigmund Freud, the Austrian neurologist, reported trying it before he settled on psychoanalysis. World War II with its thousands of cases of battle fatigue—once known as "shell shock"—is considered largely responsible for the current renewed interest in hypnosis as an aid in the treatment of mental ills. Because hypnosis enables the psychiatrist to approach the subconscious mind of his patient directly, it often permits him to uncover as much repressed material in six months as he could in a year or more using the more common psychotherapeutic techniques.
In civilian life, it has the added advantage-—in those cases where it can be employed effectively—of sometimes reducing the cost of psychotherapy, because of the fewer sessions required.
Still, some doctors have reservations about its value in psychotherapy; Freud himself, they point out, found that simple knowledge of repressed or forgotten material was not helpful. It is suggested by these doctors that perhaps the only value hypnosis has in this field is in building up confidence in the therapist. Certainly hypnotherapy is not replacing other forms of psychotherapy, but the lessons learned during the war have done much to encourage many doctors to adopt it as an aid to straight therapeutic discussion or the free association method of Freudian psychoanalysis.
It is no cure-all; there is no such thing as a miracle cure through hypnosis. "Hypnosis," according to Dr. Bernard Raginsky, of Montreal, "is only a highly specialized instrument to be used by specially trained individuals only as an instrument."
The use of hypnosis is not confined to psychotherapy. In obstetrics, dentistry, minor surgery and in the treatment of compulsory habits such as over-smoking, it has proven itself an effective medical tool.
Obstetricians have for years been seeking a method of pain relief for the woman in labor. While all chemical anesthetics in current use produce an adverse respiratory or circulatory reaction and are therefore not entirely safe for either mother or baby, hypnosis, when induced by an expert, is claimed to be altogether harmless;
moreover, it does not alter the normal mechanism of labor. Under drug anesthesia, the sensitive area is "frozen," so that the pain impulses do not reach the brain. Under hypnosis, however, the state of heightened suggestion makes it possible for the brain to ignore those sensations which would otherwise be painful. Anesthesia induced by hypnosis, since it depends directly on the depth of the trance, can be regulated by the hypnotist; drugs, on the other hand, once let loose in the body, are far less subject to the anesthetist's control.
Dr. William Kroger, of the Chicago Medical School, has used hypnosis in childbirth. One of his patients, Mrs. June Brindel, reported that during her prenatal treatment "there was no mumbo-jumbo or making with the hands. Suggestions were given in a quiet voice and consisted chiefly of statements like 'The birth of your child will be a very pleasant experience. You will feel no discomfort. You will look forward with joy to the birth of your child.' " At the onset of labor, some weeks later: "There were a few
minutes when I felt very uncomfor-
table, but Dr. Kroger asked me to close my eyes at the count of three, breathe deeply, start counting and relax. Then he repeated the familiar formula I had heard so often on my visits to his office. Immediately, all sense of discomfort vanished. I was very calm and could concentrate without effort on the alternate rhythm of contraction and relaxation. Just at the moment of birth, there were a few instants of tremendous tension, followed by a feeling of utter peace ... I felt such a surge of affection and pity for the tiny, helpless creature that I was surprised at myself. I
realized then what a real pity it is to deprive a mother of active participation in the birth of her child . . ."
In dentistry, the use of hypnosis to induce anesthesia is becoming routine. A recently completed survey by Dr. Thomas O. Burgess, of Concordia College in Minnesota, reveals that five hundred dentists in Canada and the U. S. are using hypnosis to induce relaxation and anesthesia. All types of operations have been performed under hypnosis: cavity preparations, fillings, taking of impressions for dentures, extractions, and even root canal work. Most dentists, of course, don't expect hypnosis to replace the usual chemical anesthetics completely, any more than obstetricians do. Under certain circumstances, drugs may be used in conjunction with hypnosis, as in the doctor's early efforts while he acquires a certain amount of skill in the induction of the trance.
Hypnosis can be used to induce anesthesia for most minor operations, and if the patient is capable of a deep trance, major ones as well. A few years ago an eighteen-year-old recruit checked in at the Regina military hospital to be treated for two abscesses under his arm. Dr. S. R. Cooper decided they had to be lanced. Forty-five minutes before the operation, one and a half grains of nembutal, a sedative, were administered. The boy was asked to lie down and relax. Repeated suggestions of sleep, relaxation and fatigue, in addition to anesthesia of the right arm and shoulder, were continued for about ten minutes. When the young man was resting comfortably, the doctor tested him for pain with the scalpel. The patient stirred, but there was no indication of sensitivity to pain. During the incision, while there was considerable grimacing, the boy remained in a deep trance. The doctor suggested that on awakening he would be comfortable, and that he would recall nothing of the operation. Awake, he had no pain, and fell into a natural sleep almost immediately.
The exact nature of hypnosis is still somewhat mysterious. The Canadianborn scientist, G. H. Estabrooks, head
of the Department of Psychology of Colgate University in New York, once defined it as "a state of exaggerated suggestibility, brought about by artificial means." A hypnotized person can reason and remember; he is not unconscious, and therefore not asleep—at least in the ordinary sense. Hypnosis can be induced by thinking of sleep, but a hypnotized individual will respond to stimuli and obey commands, and scientific recordings prove that the heart and lung action show more resemblance to those of the waking state. Dr. A. A. Brill, who worked with Freud for many years, writes of his embarrassment when a woman whom he had hypnotized by giving repeated suggestions of sleep, sat bolt upright, still in a trance, and exclaimed that she wasn't asleep at all.
Can you be hypnotized? Probably. With the exception of children under five or six, practically all normal people can be hypnotized. How deep a trance you can achieve, however, is another matter; only about one person in five can be hypnotized to the point of being able to turn somersaults and still remain in the trance. This is usually considered the last, or somnambulistic stage; in this deep a trance, you are able to have hallucinations involving any of your senses: at the hypnotist's suggestion a cup of tea will taste like apple pie, look like apple pie and smell like apple pie, and what's more, you'll eat it with a fork.
For most medical purposes, the medium stage is necessary; you may open your eyes without breaking the trance and, at the hypnotist's suggestion, you can be completely anesthetized. Suggestions that you will act in a specified manner after waking up will be carried out.
There are two common methods of achieving this trance (though many other methods do exist): suggestions of sleep, and eye-fixation. In the first, the hypnotist sees that you are comfortable and asks you to relax. "Relax every part of your body. Now when I pick up your hand, I want it to fall like a piece of wood, with no help from you. Now relax your legs the same way.
Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Now relax your jaws. Now your cheeks, now your eyes. Your eyes are getting heavier and heavier. You can hardly keep them open. Soon they will close. Now your cheeks, now your eyes. Your eyes are getting heavier and heavier. You can hardly keep them I open. Soon they will close. Now make your mind a blank. You see a blackness spreading out in front of you. Now sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Your entire body and mind are relaxed. Your sleep is becoming deeper. You are in a deep, deep sleep." The hypnotist's voice gradually becomes softer and softer, i and he speaks more and more slowly. The eye-fixation method consists of tiring your eyes by having you stare at j a bright object held just above your j line of vision. You are asked to stare at ! the object and try to keep all other j thoughts out of your mind. Eventu! ally, you will go out in a glassy blank;
I you have reached the first stage. Now ¡ the hypnotist may carry on from here j with the sleep suggestion method to in! duce a deeper trance.
An old method seldom practiced nowadays involves the use of "passes," or various complicated movements of the hands. But the hypnotic pass, as used by Mandrake the Magician, is now largely a theatrical gesture used to attract the attention and to impress the audience in popular demonstrations. In fact, the blind can he hypnotized.
You can probably, with the help of a hypnotist, learn to hypnotize yourself, either by the eye-fixation method or by talking yourself to sleep. Although only the first stage is usually reached, some persons are able to produce a deep trance by autohypnosis, and anesthetize themselves. You need not worry about waking up. Whether you've hypnotized yourself, or someone else has hypnotized you, either the trance will gradually turn into ordinary sleep, or you will wake up naturally.
As you go into a trance, your conscious mind gradually blots out everything and everybody but the hypnotist; your attention becomes focused on him (or, in the case of autohypnosis, yourself) and what he is saying. There can be a dozen others in the room with you—you will be oblivious of them, and will obey only the hypnotist. You are able to recall forgotten or repressed ideas and events and this permits a psychiatrist to make extensive use of hypnosis in the treatment of a variety of abnormal mental conditions. One of these is loss of memory.
Dr. Norman Viner, a Montreal psychiatrist, twenty-five years ago reported the case of a twelve-year-old boy who disappeared after school one day and was found eight hours later in a ditch in a suburb of Montreal. Taken back home, he didn't recognize his mother, his sister, or his dog, nor could he remember what school he attended. Viner hypnotized the hoy several times over a two-month period and eventually helped him to complete recall.
One of the most fascinating facets of the hypnotic phenomenon is post-hypnotic suggestion. If the doctor suggests while you are in a trance that you will no longer have, say, a sore throat on awakening, you will wake up to find it gone. This sort of direct symptom removal is usually frowned upon, however, since the underlying cause of the problem is left untreated. Most psychiatrists agree with Dr. John W. LovettDoust, of the University of Toronto, who says that "if a patient comes to me with a headache, I can relieve him of the headache by hypnosis, only to find that he will shortly after develop a pain in the back." Nevertheless, in such conditions as paralysis brought on by hysteria, the removal of the symptom usually affords such vast relief that
the patient is in a healthier frame of mind to face the real cause of his difficulty.
Doctors tread very cautiously in using hypnosis in treating alcoholism or over-smoking. Suggestions such as "You won't want to drink any more" or "Just the very sight of tobacco will make you sick" might well have the effect of causing the patient to give up one compulsion, only to take up a more serious one, such as drug addiction, which is not easily treated by hypnosis. (Since the body develops a real need for narcotics, once the habit becomes established, treatment involves physical rehabilitation as well as mental.) In such cases, it is not primarily the symptom which must be removed, but its underlying cause which must be determined.
The hypnotherapist can sometimes get at this basic difficulty by using a technique called "age-regression," which makes it possible for the patient to relive earlier periods of his life as vividly as if he were experiencing them for the first time, and with his mind in the same stage of immaturity. Even his handwriting changes.
Hypnosis can also be used successfully in conditions where no deepseated neuroses are necessarily involved, such as general depression, stage fright and minor speech disorders. It is in cases like these that suggestions for direct symptom removal are likely to be effective and permanent.
Can You Be Hypnotized?
The story of how Sergei Rachmaninoff came to write his familiar Second Piano Concerto is a case in point. In the early weeks of 1900, after suffering such severe apathy and depression for over a year that he hadn't written a note of music, he consulted Dr. N. Dahl, a pioneer in medical hypnosis. Rachmaninoff wrote, in part, of his experience:
Dr. Dahl asked me what sort of composition I wanted to write. I told him that I had promised a piano concerto to the people of London. Consequently, I heard the same hypnotic formula repeated day after day: 'You will begin to write your concerto, you will work with great facility, it will be an excellent piece of work.' Although it may sound fantastic, his cure really helped me, and already by the beginning of summer I had begun to compose. I felt that Dr. Dahl's treatment had strengthened my nervous system to a miraculous degree. Out of gratitude, I decided to dedicate my concerto to him.
Hypnosis has been quickly effective in the treatment of some speech disorders that have no organic basis. In 1951 a high-school boy was treated by John J. Levbarg, of the Harlem Eye and Ear Hospital in New York, for a high-pitched falsetto voice. Under hypnosis, his voice dropped an octave at the first session and, by the third, his voice was fuller and more masculine. Extremely nervous and shy when he began treatment, after eight months of occasional hypnotic sessions he was considerably more confident and poised and his voice was completely normal.
Certain skin ailments, also, seem to lend themselves to hypnotherapy.
Can a person be hypnotized against his will? Can a hypnotized person be made to commit a crime while in a trance, and to harm himself or others? These questions cannot be answered definitely. Most authorities would say, in answer to the first question, that while you can't be hypnotized against your will, you can be hypnotized without your knowledge, if the hypnotist goes about his job quickly and cleverly enough. Many college psychology
courses teach that a hypnotized individual will do nothing in a trance that he wouldn't do otherwise: an honest person won't steal, and a person with the normal sexual inhibitions won't disrobe in public. But there is much evidence to the contrary.
Dr. Ludwig Mayer, a German psychiatrist, tells of a woman who had been treated by a hypnotist who posed as a physician. Over a period of seven years he compelled her to steal money for him and to make several attempts— all unsuccessful—to kill herself and her husband.
In 1950 Dr. Loyd Rowland, of Baylor University in Texas, put a black rattlesnake in a box which was surrounded by invisible glass. Four highschool students were put into a deep trance. Rowland asked them, "Do you all see that box?" They all said they did. Rowland went on, "There is a rattlesnake in that box. Go up to it and reach through the opening in the screen wire and pick up the snake. Go right ahead." One of the four subjects woke up immediately. The other three went right up to the glass, felt around for a while (one of them even began to push at it), then hesitated and looked questioningly at the experimenter. It was perfectly obvious that, had there been no glass, very shortly there would have been no students, either. Rowland maintains it is highly unlikely they could have seen the glass. In the second part of the experiment, a hypnotized boy and girl watched while Rowland poured sulphuric acid in two glasses. Ke said to both subjects, "Do you know what sulphuric acid is? It's very dangerous and can put a person's eyes out." The subjects were then told, in turn, to pick up a glass and throw the acid in the experimenter's face. (Again, they didn't know that he was protected by invisible glass.) They both threw the acid.
Hypnosis for amusement presents another example of how this phenomenon, which is capable of immense good, can be employed for perverse ends. Because most people are not aware that anybody can practice hypnotism, individuals with a flair for showmanship are passing themselves off as having special powers and appearing before audiences in virtually the role of magicians. The hypnotist has no "power" whatsoever; in fact, he is required to exhibit the very minimum of hypnotic ability on the easiest of subjects. He seldom, if ever, explains that he is demonstrating only a small fraction of hypnotism—the induction of a deep trance in specially selected, highly suggestible people.
Rexford North, publisher of the now defunct Journal of Hypnotism, describes how the selection of subjects is done: "Say to your audience, 'Your
hands are growing tighter and tighter together.' Wait and look. Then say, 'Breathe evenly and deeply ... as I count to three—one, two—' look around . . . and try to spot, and have your assistant trained at this moment to select those who are in definite trouble and cannot release their hands, then say, 'Three, you cannot release your hands, as they are glued together as one hand.' By this time you have selected your subjects."
Since, by post-hypnotic suggestion, a person can be trained to go into a trance at a prearranged signal, stage hypnotists find it easy to have two or more "plants" in the audience. Indeed, they could hardly do without them. It is usually a plant who will nudge his neighbor with a "Come on, let's volunteer, what can we lose?" In view of the fact that stage hypnotism is almost invariably aimed at making the subject look ridiculous and amusing the audience, the most significant effect such
demonstrations produce is to discredit the legitimate use of hypnosis by the medical profession. Moreover, the highly suggestible people who are suitable subjects for such demonstrations may easily suffer considerable mental and physical harm.
In December 1948 Miss Diana RainsBath was hypnotized on a stage in Brighton, England, by Ralph Slater. He "age-regressed" her back to a little frightened child crying for her mother. The audience thought it all very funny, but Slater forgot to bring her back to the present before removing the trance, and the girl consequently suffered an acute depression and anxiety neurosis for eighteen months following the incident. She was finally treated and cured by Dr. S. van Pelt, president of the British Society of Medical Hypnosis, but the victim sued Slater for three thousand dollars. The jury reached a verdict of negligence on the part of Slater.
In everyday life we have all had some experience with heightened suggestion, even though it may seldom reach the point of hypnosis. I, for one, have tipped tables and played the ouija board, and will affirm, with thousands of others, that no physical effort was involved. But the tables and disks don't move by themselves, and a sort of light autohypnosis must be responsible. Most of us have had the experience of waking up just ahead of the alarm clock; the same force is at work here.
But only when hypnosis has been stripped of all the superstition and mystery that has surrounded it for centuries will it come to be accepted as a natural and rational phenomenon which has immense possibilities for good when used as a tool in the hands of highly skilled and medically trained persons. if
