Privacy is important because: Privacy gives us the power to choose our thoughts and feelings and who we share them with.
Privacy protects our information we do not want shared publicly (such as health or personal finances).
Privacy helps protect our physical safety (if our real time location data is private)..
The right to privacy is alluded to in the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution, which states, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath …
Ninth Amendment, amendment (1791) to the Constitution of the United States, part of the Bill of Rights, formally stating that the people retain rights absent specific enumeration. … The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
The states are violating the 9th amendment by banning same sex marriage. The 9th amendment to the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, addresses rights of the people that are not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
Because the rights protected by the Ninth Amendment are not specified, they are referred to as "unenumerated." The Supreme Court has found that unenumerated rights include such important rights as the right to travel, the right to vote, the right to keep personal matters private and to make important decisions about …
The four most common types of invasion of privacy torts are as follows:Appropriation of Name or Likeness.Intrusion Upon Seclusion.False Light.Public Disclosure of Private Facts.
Even though the right to privacy is not specifically mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, for cases such as Roe V. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court has found that several Amendments imply these rights: … Fourth Amendment: Protects the right of privacy against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.
Invasion of privacy is the considered the intrusion upon, or revelation of, something private. … One who intentionally intrudes, physically or otherwise, upon the solitude or seclusion of another or his/her private affairs or concerns, is subject to liability to the other for invasion of privacy.
We have evaluated privacy as a natural right under every workable ethical theory and have concluded that it is ethical under all four. Although, we have to have certain exceptions. Each current natural right cannot violate the previous natural right.
The right to privacy refers to the concept that one's personal information is protected from public scrutiny. U.S. Justice Louis Brandeis called it "the right to be left alone." While not explicitly stated in the U.S. Constitution, some amendments provide some protections.
Privacy breaches disturb trust and run the risk of diluting or losing security; it is a show of disrespect to the law and a violation of ethical principles. Data privacy (or information privacy or data protection) is about access, use and collection of data, and the data subject's legal right to the data.
The Protection of Personal Information Act (or POPI Act) is South Africa's equivalent of the EU GDPR. It sets some conditions for responsible parties (called controllers in other jurisdictions) to lawfully process the personal information of data subjects (both natural and juristic persons).
That is, rights that are God-given and can never be taken or even given away. Among these fundamental natural rights, Locke said, are "life, liberty, and property." Locke believed that the most basic human law of nature is the preservation of mankind.
The right to privacy is not mentioned in the Constitution, but the Supreme Court has said that several of the amendments create this right.
Privacy is a limit on government power, as well as the power of private sector companies. The more someone knows about us, the more power they can have over us. Personal data is used to make very important decisions in our lives. … And in the wrong hands, personal data can be used to cause us great harm.
Constitutional privacy protections: Section 14 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa protects the right to privacy. 2. Data protection laws: The Protection of Personal Information, Act 4 of 2013 (POPI) is the primary instrument regulating data protection in South Africa.
The Ninth Amendment states that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." But how do we know what those other rights are?
Constitution of India. Protection of life and personal liberty. No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law.

Aroma: Complex; aromas of sherry soaked fruitcake filled with stewed sultanas mingle with sticky medjool dates. Dark chocolate and citrus peel notes develop; a gentle woodiness with a delicate herbal edge comes to the fore. Taste: Elegant, smooth, and sweet; subtle cinnamon and nutmeg flavours balance the mature oak and sherry influences. Notes of fruit and nut chocolate, toasted walnut, and hints of raisin emerge and evolve into zesty citrus. Salted toffee develops towards the end. Finish A modest, medium sweet finish fades; hints of charred oak and chocolate remain.


Elizabeth Lange has arrived at Cypress Point Spa in Pebble Beach, California, weary of heart and soul. Still grieving for her beloved sister, a famous actress who plunged to her death from her Manhattan penthouse, Elizabeth is determined to unearth the truth about how Leila died. Dashing multimillionaire Ted Winters stands accused of her murder, but Elizabeth has doubts.
Along the windswept cliffs of the Monterey coast, in luxurious bungalows, between gourmet meals and beachfront walks, uneasiness stalks Elizabeth while she begins opening doors to the past. As glimpses of the dark truth about Leila's life and death — and about Elizabeth herself — start to crash against her mind, an ominous wave from an unexpected source threatens to engulf her entirely.


Running has been an inherent pastime for as long as I can remember. It's always had a positive connotation because it's an activity I genuinely enjoy, but it wasn't until my twenties that running became a transcendent experience.
Like any American kid, my school years were peppered with an array of run-related activities: P.E., sports practices, chasing potential lovers on the playground, etc. When I moved to New York City after graduation, my relationship with running became rooted in the deepest, most visceral parts of me. For most of my early twenties, I had a weeknight ritual of 'midnight runs' – literally, I would give myself one hour (from midnight to 1AM) to completely decompress while running off some of the excess energy from the day. It was, in every way possible, religious for me.
Counting my steps became a game. I'd see how mechanical I could get. My pace would ebb and flow in response to the soundtrack of the City. Music started to play an important (and now vital) role a few years ago when I found songs that really pumped me up and made getting over those humps, hills, and valleys that much easier. Music became my fuel to push myself harder, faster, and farther.
As many of you know, I'm a (super) fan of Spotify. Recently, Spotify launched Spotify Running, an incredible new feature that lets you choose your favorite music genre and then matches the tempo to your pace. Because every beat matches your step, you're going faster and farther – but most importantly, it's helping you think less about running and more about your favorite music. I love that it connects directly to my phone; my favorite go-to is the "Run Wild" playlist – it's brimming with my favorite hits from the 00s and today.
Hello, my name is Justin and I'm addicted to sugar; I have the most insatiable sweet tooth. Cookies, cakes, candy, ice cream – you name it, I love it. Honestly, there have been many times where I'm running and think, "if you run for 15 extra minutes you can have a bowl of ice cream tonight." And you better believe I will run that extra 15 minutes because sweet satisfaction is just the best.
BONUS ENTRY: Check out Spotify Running on your phone and comment below with your favorite playlist.
I'll randomly pick the winner on 11/25 and contact him/her via email or Instagram Direct Message. Good luck!


Peter Tunstall (1918–2013) joined the RAF in 1937 and after pilot training joined No. 61 Squadron at Hemswell, Lincolnshire, flying the twin-engined Hampden bomber. During the retreat to Dunkirk and the days that followed, he attacked targets in northern France. He was captured by the Germans in 1940 and held prisoner until 1945. After the war, Tunstall remained in the RAF as a flying instructor. He retired in 1958 and joined Laker Airways before moving to South Africa, where he continued to fly and secured a number of parts as a professional actor.

Education is obviously a financial instrument. Think about that for a minute – it is an investment like any other investment. Wall Street has an arbitrage instrument for every market anomaly – why not education?
What would happen if teachers were given an equity position in their students? Isn't this what families do to prepare their kids to take over the family business? Isn't this what happens in corporations where executives pick proteges? Isn't this what happens in politics where knowledge is traded among a closed group?
A school like Harvard University or MIT certainly hold and equity position in their students. What if every community viewed every child as an asset instead of a liability?
Then Fox, in their fair and balanced tradition, portrayed their subjects as the poster children of a failed education system (some children left behind after all) and further testimony to the failure of the Obama Administration. because obviously "These kids don't know how the real world works".
The Pundits can't climb the tree any better.
Unfortunately, nobody else has an answer to that question either – none of the pundits or anchors produced anything except the tired argument that we tried Socialism and it failed so therefore more Capitalism is the only way to fix Capitalism.
Market Capitalism only articulates value in the things that people make which can physically sit on a market shelf. Market Capitalism does not articulate the value of individual people; those things that people make in society.
Of course, it is also a double edge sword since those that really don't produce anything – like hedge fund managers, pundits, and politicians – will become impoverished. Meanwhile, those who really do produce things – like teachers, engineers, and firemen – will become wealthy. So watch how the lines are redrawn in this debate.
The Internet and social media have shifted the factors of production away from land, labor, and capital to a higher order of human organization. This is what we need to be talking about. People today produce things with knowledge – social, creative, and intellectual knowledge. These are the factors of production for that 99% of the value that exists on Earth.
After many a blue face, I'll say it again; there is no way to build anything meaningful without an inventory of parts. Car companies have inventories of parts, Banks have inventories of assets, even biology has an inventory of genomes – but there is no knowledge inventory for our communities. We don't know what we do or do not know. We have absolutely no idea how valuable we are yet we complain that we're impoverished. Meanwhile corporation create technology to replace people when people could be just as easily be creating technology to replace corporations.
How on Earth can we determine supply and demand for knowledge assets without an inventory? How can we expect to create any type of fair and rational economy from a bunch of invisible stuff milling around the parks? There is no escape from Market Capitalism and no path to Social Capitalism without a Knowledge Inventory, period.
This is a very easy problem to solve and we have all the cards waiting to be stacked in our favor using the tools that are right in front of our collective noses. If we fail at something so simple, then we deserve to be enslaved. After all, 100,000 years ago, such people would have been eaten by tigers. It's time to Evolve.
The Hub and Spoke system is a time honored formation of commercial aviation. People accept hub and spoke as the most rational way to organize people and planes much like they accept the corporation as the best way to organize production of goods and service.
Meanwhile, social media is challenging every assumption that we hold dear to our hearts as new applications role out which steadily increase the ability for people to organize their selves.
The newest applications such as Google + show us that people are the hub and their various forms of social networks are their spokes. A person has a group for their family, one for their friends, their colleagues, their schoolmates, etc. While G+ fatigue may wear in as people get tired of classifying their casual contacts, the real value of G+ may arise in the intentional Organization of people for social and financial efficiency.
The similarity between the airport and G+ Hub and Spoke is not a casual coincidence. There is a very real and physical connection between the way people organize themselves in social media and the way they organize themselves in corporate production and the way their organize themselves in air transportation systems.
Suppose we make the analogy that the person in the center is the customer, the circle that they belong to is the market, and the person in the market is a client. The analogy hold when we try to "preserve college friendships". College is the social market and the friend is the mutual client relationship where the currency is a social currency.
The analogy is still very young, but it is truly profound. This way of thinking will drive a form of social organization that may rival corporations, government, and even international boundaries. It is also no coincidence that Social Flights has been modeling this analogy for the 2 years since we first started developing our business plan.
Today, Social Flights is working on some important concepts for defining Travel Tribe Leader functions. The objective is to duplicate the function of a "concrete" hub and spoke system denominated in dollars with a virtual hub and spoke system denominated in social currency.
Each Travel Tribe Leader is responsible for 10-20 city pairs from their own location.
Conclusion: The organization of people it figuratively (with G+) and literally (with corporations) is the exact same thing. This will become obvious when people discover the necessity to organize their selves into productive communities in the absence of corporations and government. But why wait – we can, and we will use social media to form a new system of social organization.
What is more valuable, their Influence or their intentions?
Obviously, money is supposed to represent productivity otherwise why would people work for it? But, everyone is pretty much resigned to the fact that the dollar – and indeed most global currency – is irreversibly divorced from actual productivity.
The reason why people must trade dollars is that there is no other alternative, and the computer algorithms that control the value of the currency have yet to tell us otherwise. That's it, really. The questions remain, how, why, and when will people stop working for it and what will they work for which can replace it?
This will not be as simple as living in yurts, trading cheese cultures and tweeting about it. Complex infrastructure like a judicial system, transportation, medical care, clean water, energy and food production rely on a financial system that can capitalize and securitize whatever the replacement currency may be.
The latest twist in the new currency movement is the idea that on-line influence can be used to support a currency. There is no shortage of noble leaders aspiring to "define the standard" in their own image as a service to the lesser masses who seek their respective place in the great new economic void. PeerIndex and Klout are the two main players that promote a social score based on influence, obstensibly to mimic the credit score upon which all currency depends.
Unfortunately, influence is a flawed measure. Marketers are the target beneficiaries of such influence which is clearly defined as the ability to get other people to take action on a marketing message. My ability to influence others to buy Twinkies does not an economy make. In other words – influence is a consumption currency, not a production currency.
For comparison; today, money is conjured into existance by banks based on the signature of a loan candidate who states in writing their intention to produce enough value by their future words and actions to exceed the value of the currency being borrowed (created from thin air) plus interest. That's how debt works. That "intention" is then capitalized, combined with the intentions of others, and securitized into bonds that finance important social services and institutions that support those intensions.
Likewise, a social currency may be similarly conjured into existence – based on a person's promise to increase human productivity in the future, not however, to increase human consumption in the future. The social marker for the next currency must be an intension to produce something, not an intension to consume something. The real danger, of course, is if we define the next currency as just another consumption currency or whether it can truly be married to productivity.
Obviously, it would be helpful to have an inventory of what value an individual is willing and able to produce in the future since this is the best marker of intensions. It would be even more helpful if there were a public knowledge inventory of what value people in a community are able and willing to produce together. I'll stop here because a knowledge inventory for communities does not exist – and curiously, none of the great minds in Social Media are clamoring to define that standard.
Likewise, that is where the great opportunity for the future resides.
I have been approached by many brilliant social entrepreneurs in recent weeks. They each have several things in common. Each has an incredibly creative idea and a strong passion linked to a deep seated observation that social currency has value. As nebulous as that may sound, it is very real, specific, and clear in the minds of those who I'll call, The New Entrepreneur.
Nothing Economic can happen until two or more people get together to build something. Likewise, when two or more people get together to build something, economic things happen. The objective of this post is to demonstrate the 3 underlying actions of a new class of business plans that will become dominant in the next economic paradigm.
This simple recipe forms the basis of the business plans for several start-ups including Social Flights and The Social Value Network as well as numerous other projects that we consult to in the US, Greece, Brazil, Australia, China, and Mexico.
The Old Business Model: Suppose you buy a truck and you use it to haul stuff for your own personal and business interests. After 5 years, you can sell the truck for about 1/2 what you paid for it.
The New Business Model: Suppose that you buy a truck to hauls stuff for your own personal or business interests. Suppose that you also let The Boy Scout troop leader borrow it to pick up christmas trees for sale. Suppose you let the Kiwanis use it to pick up supplies for their annual salmon bake. Suppose you let the YWCA haul donated furniture to their satellite facility. Suppose you help your neighbor use it for a home improvement project. After 5 years, you sell the truck for about 1/2 of what you paid for it.
The difference is that now your community is engaged with your personal interests. You have converted financial capital into social capital and created new value denominated in social currency. One notable example includes Neighborgoods, but there will undoubtedly be thousands of variations of this leveraging every conceivable physical asset.
Now, how do you transform this back social capital into financial capital? Well, that's what the emerging science of Social Capitalism is all about. Social Profit is like a fungible option with a face value. If structured correctly, an option can have a face value equal to the difference between discount and full price. That face value can be traded like money. When you are engaged in a community, people know who you are, they trust you and they share with you. People are trading options – the right without the obligation to exercise a financial position in the future.
I'll keep this simple because it is simple. Most people know exactly what I am talking about. Most people feel that a huge change is underway. Most people feel deep in their hearts that whatever we are doing today will be different tomorrow. Most people feel a strange combination of anxiety and optimism.
No, it's not just a political change or an economic change or even a social change. All of these, in their simplicity, would not do justice to the magnitude of what is really about to happen. The forces now in play will resolve to the equivalent difference between the hunter gatherer civilization, and the Renaissance. The next economic paradigm will be as different as the abacus is from the computer itself. Yet, the process by which this is happening is so simple, that the mind is repelled.
In the Industrial revolution, a machine would make widgets. It did not matter whether you or I ran the machine, the same widget would emerge.
Today, the machine is a computer. Your interaction with the computer is entirely different than my interaction with the computer. In fact, you could swap out the computers and our individual output would remain unchanged.
Factors of production are no longer the land, labor, and financial capital of Classical Economic theory. The factors of production are social, creative, and intellectual capital of people and their communities.
Classical economic theory is breaking down. There is a huge change on the horizon. The new economic paradigm is in the process of siphoning off the old economic paradigm. We're approaching mid-span; both tanks are half empty or half full, depending on how you look at it.
I can say with great confidence that anxiety and optimism are the correct emotions to be experiencing today. So go ahead and tell the children in your life that everything will be OK.
The US Senate recently blocked a measure designed to reduce the outsourcing of US jobs that many corporations pursue in the relentless drive to reduce costs.
Globalization must be analyzed like a system. Data, Information, knowledge, Innovation, and wisdom are profoundly related in a system. If you take away one of the components, the others become worthless. If you destroy one component, the entire structure could fail.
Everyone knows that data, information, knowledge, innovation, and wisdom are related. If I corrupt the data, then the associated information, knowledge, innovation, and wisdom are also corrupted. Likewise, if I eliminate any of these elements, the system fails.
Focus on Core competency – what core?
The standard argument for outsourcing is that knowledge workers are better allocated in innovation jobs so "we can better focus on our core – and heck, we can all save a little dough in the process". But when we outsource our knowledge economy, the innovation economy is choked off. The knowledge economy is the source of the Innovation Economy. The Knowledge economy is also the recipient of the information economy which transforms data and information into useful tools, ideas, and products.
The rate of change of the innovation economy is directly proportional to the INCREASE not the OUTSOURCING of the knowledge economy. This is the calculus of outsourcing. If, on the other hand, it is in you best interest to keep a population poor, weak, and unable to organize into powerful collectives, then yes, outsourcing is an effective method.
The term "Vetting" comes from the sport of horse racing where the animal is "vetted" by a veterinarian to determine if the animal is in suitable condition to race. Today, there are many vetting mechanisms acting in society and communities. Think of it as the referee that keeps the game fair. This is important because if the game is not fair, people will stop playing.
Where the vetting mechanism fails, the system fails. This has happened in countless instances from the current financial crisis to nearly every product, market, environmental calamity, or political failure in recorded history – the referees who were supposed to keep their eye on the ball, did not. Likewise, where a vetting mechanism is effective, the system is efficient.
Today, we find severe problems in finance and government and people are investing their knowledge assets in social media as the place to "store and exchange" their present and future productivity – instead of deploying money or debt. As such, social vetting is taking many different forms to validate, qualify, and quantify knowledge assets in communities.
While the progression may not be noticeable, there will be a tipping point where the medium has built enough trust that it can support a currency. This new currency needs to be only a little bit more "trustworthy" than the currency it will replace. This is the point where knowledge becomes tangible.

Keep your favorite blends close to your heart with this aromatherapy locket necklace in sterling silver. Simply add the essential oil blend of your choice and be immersed in benefits all day long.
Apply a few drops of your favorite diffuser blend or essential oil to pad and place inside pendant.
Love this necklace. It was a birthday gift from my partner. The cotton pads hold up well, and the oils seem to last a good while. I love wearing it when I'm out and sniffing it when needed. The necklace can be shown beautifully over a top, or tucked away under a top. Would definitely recommend, and would consider buying for someone else as a gift to pass along its benefits.
I wear it every day! When I get stressed out at work I just hold it to my nose and take a big sniff (usually peppermint or lavender).ahhhh it going to be ok😁!
I'm wearing mine right now and I love it.
This was a gift from my beautiful daughters. It is intricately beautiful, the chain is long enough to hang at my solar plexus. It shimmers and although I suspected, I was happy to find it is sterling. I would recommend this to any lover of nice things, and essential oils.
I love this pendant...it is really pretty! Love the length and love the detail on the heart! Waiting to purchase an oil when I can actually go to the store and ask questions! The catch is slightly stiff and was a bit difficult to open, but assuming will loosen as I use it.

Q: What is the smallest cardinality of a base of an ultrafilter on $\omega$ related to an almost disjoint family of cardinality $\mathfrak c$? Let $(A_\alpha)_{\alpha\in\mathfrak c}$ be an almost disjoint family of infinite subsets of $\omega$. The almost disjointness of the family means that $A_\alpha\cap A_\beta$ is finite for any ordinals $\alpha,\beta\in\mathfrak c$. This almost disjoint family generates a filter $$\mathcal F=\{F\subseteq \omega:|\{\alpha\in\mathfrak c:A_\alpha\not\subseteq^* F\}|<\mathfrak c\}.$$
Let $\mathcal U$ be any ultrafilter on $\omega$ containing the filter $\mathcal F$.

Question. Can $\mathcal U$ have a base of cardinality strictly less than $\mathfrak c$?

A: Lyubomyr Zdomskyy informed me that the answer to my question is affirmative and follows from a recent (still unpublished) result of Osvaldo Guzman and Damjan Kalajdzievski who proved the consistency of $\mathfrak u<\mathfrak a=\mathfrak c$.
Take any ultrafilter $\mathcal U$ on $\omega$ that has a base $\mathcal B\subseteq\mathcal U$ of cardinality $|\mathcal B|=\mathfrak u$. Next, choose a maximal almost disjoint family of sets $\mathcal A\subseteq [\omega]^\omega\setminus\mathcal U$. Consider the filter $$\mathcal F=\{F\subseteq \omega:|\{A\in\mathcal A:A\not\subseteq^* F\}|<\mathfrak c\}.$$ We claim that $\mathcal F\subseteq\mathcal U$ under $\mathfrak a=\mathfrak c$. Assuming that $\mathcal F\not\subseteq\mathcal U$, we can find a set $F\in\mathcal F\setminus\mathcal U$. For the set $F$ the family $\mathcal A'=\{A\in\mathcal A:A\not\subseteq^* F\}$ has cardinality $|\mathcal A'|<\mathfrak c=\mathfrak a$. Then the family $\{A\setminus F\}_{A\in\mathcal A'}$ is not maximal almost disjoint in $\omega\setminus F\in\mathcal U$. So, we can choose an infinite set $B\subseteq\omega\setminus F$ such that $B\notin \mathcal A$ and the family $\{B\}\cup\{A\setminus F\}_{A\in\mathcal A'}$ is almost disjoint. Replacing $B$ by a smaller infinite subset we can additionally assume that $B\notin\mathcal U$. Then $\{B\}\cup\mathcal A$ is an almost disjoint family in $[\omega]^\omega\setminus\mathcal U$, which is strictly larger than $\mathcal A$. But this contradicts the maximality of $\mathcal A$. This contradiction shows that $\mathcal F\subseteq\mathcal U$.

Each person's DNA contains the code used to build the human body and keep it functioning. Genes are the small sections of DNA that code for individual traits. For example, someone with naturally red hair has a gene that causes his or her hair to be red.
However, in some people these tumor suppression genes do not work properly. When a gene becomes altered or broken, it doesn't function correctly. This is called a gene mutation.
A small percentage of people (about one in 400, or 0.25% of the population) carry mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. A BRCA mutation occurs when the DNA that makes up the gene becomes damaged in some way.

Will Any Catholic School Survive The Next Decade ?
Posted on April 24, 2021 by royfmc
Memories of 80th and Belmont, and Lessons to be Learned
With the recent closing of St. Joseph High School in Westchester, Illinois, this event has resurrected my memories of the closing of my high school, Holy Cross High School, in River Grove, Illinois, in June, 2004, and the consolidation of the remaining student body and some of its traditions and alum with the sister school on the same property, Mother Theodore Guerin, ultimately being renamed Guerin Prep, and sadly closing at the end of the school year in 2020.
For those not familiar with Holy Cross High School it was an all-boys, Roman Catholic high school in River Grove, Illinois, United States that operated from August 1961 until June 2004. In December, 2003, the school announced that they no longer had enough funding or interest in enrollment to continue. Only 79 students took the entrance exam for the 2004-2005 school year, and at least 125 were necessary to keep the school open. In June, 2004, the neighboring all-girls high school Mother Theodore Guerin High School accepted all Holy Cross students, becoming coed and changing their name to Guerin College Preparatory High School. Students from Mother Guerin and Holy Cross had already been sharing each other's facilities for certain classes, such as drama, music, and foreign languages.
At one point, Holy Cross's enrollment was as high as 1,556 students. The school expanded its facilities in 1969 with the construction of a humanities learning center.
The Holy Cross had a close connection to the Chicago Cubs baseball team in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Third-baseman Ron Santo ran a baseball academy on the Holy Cross grounds,[5] and the Cubs helped fund equipment for the school's baseball team. The Cubs even held their workouts at the school in spring 1972, in the midst of a strike which had shut down all of the major league training camps
Notable Alumni of Holy Cross High School
Yashar Ali, American freelance journalist
Val Belmonte, former college hockey coach and college athletic director, winner of the 1987 CCHA Coach of the Year Award
John Carpino (1977), current President of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Tony Fiore (1990), pitcher drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1992 MLB Draft (28th round)
Joseph Grendys, billionaire meat processor, Owner Koch Foods
Joe Principe, bass guitarist of Rise Against
Mike Rizzo (1979), current President/General Manager of the Washington Nationals
Bobby Stevens (2005), shortstop drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 2008 MLB Draft (16th round)
Garrett Wolfe (2002), All-American running back at NIU, 2006 NCAA leading rusher, drafted by the Chicago Bears in the 2007 NFL Draft (3rd round)
If it was not for the superior educational and athletic faculty of Holy Cross High School, these notable alum, and many others not mentioned. would not be here to make the world a better place today.
We should never forget the Holy Cross High School Glory Days:
http://www.illinoishsglorydays.com/id426.html
As Holy Cross, Mother Guerin and Guerin Prep alum, it was not about the "brick and mortar" but the classmates and instructors that we connected with during our journey at 80th and Belmont. That is what we should never forget. We can be sad that the institution is "never more", but the memories, friendships and lessons learned live on.
It has become a recurring theme with the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago's school system: mounting concern over declining enrollment and rising costs; parish leaders devising a strategy to address the problems; parents mobilizing to prevent their children's schools from shutting their doors. And in the end, another round of school closings.
This bleak reality has become familiar for many of the nation's Catholic school systems: hit with rising expenses and shrinking enrollment, many are fighting for survival.
The Archdiocese of Chicago, has been beset with similar troubles, with total enrollment dropping to about 65,000 this year from more than 95,000 nine years ago.
What will the next decade bring for Catholic education in Chicago and the rest of our country ?
First, we all who enjoyed that education in our lives, need to step forward and support efforts to reverse this trend and preserve such a system for tomorrow's youth.
Despite its dwindling size, Chicago's Catholic school system remains one of the largest private school systems in the country. And its schools have received more Blue Ribbon Awards, a distinction given by the U.S. Department of Education to school for academic excellence, than any other school system in the country.
Since 2009, the number of Catholic schools in the United States declined by more than 1,200, and there are roughly 400,000 fewer students attending Catholic schools, according to the National Catholic Educational Association.
The archdiocese's school system does outpace Chicago Public Schools in many academic standards, although critics point out private schools are able to be selective about their students.
More than 98% of the Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic schools' students graduate from high school, compared to 77% of Chicago Public Schools students, according to the Illinois State Board of Education. And more than 96% of Catholic school students go on to attend a four-year college, according to the archdiocese.
According to the National Catholic Education Association's Annual Statistical Report on Schools, Enrollment and Staffing., "U. S. Catholic school enrollment reached its peak during the early 1960s when there were more than 5.2 million students in almost thirteen thousand schools across the nation. The 1970s and 1980s saw a steep decline in both the number of schools and students. By 1990, there were approximately 2.5 million students in 8,719 schools. From the mid 1990s though 2000, there was a steady enrollment increase (1.3%) despite continued closings of schools. Between the 2000 and the 2011 school years, 1,755 schools were reported closed or consolidated (21.5%). The number of students declined by 587,166 (22.1 %). The most seriously impacted have been elementary schools"
Personally, it saddens me to see any private school in decline. It is even worse to discover that schools have closed. But the sheer magnitude of these numbers is just plain scary. Let's examine some of the reasons why Catholic education finds itself in this state across the country.
The economy has been a major factor in the decline in the number of Catholic schools. The Great Recession of 2008 cost millions of people their jobs. As a result, when parents have to struggle just to make ends meet, then a private school education becomes unaffordable and out of the question. Historically, Roman Catholic parochial and high school educations have been some of the most affordable private school educations available. Fewer students mean more seats available. More seats available means less tuition income. It is a vicious cycle not easily broken. Once the cycle starts, it becomes very difficult to turn around.
Back in the 1950s nuns staffed Catholic schools. These wonderful teachers were also paid very little. Consequently, schools could keep their tuition low. Unfortunately, as the number of nuns declined, schools had to hire lay teachers whose compensation was more than the religious they replaced.
Changing Social Customs
Church membership nationwide in just about every denomination has been on a decline for decades. The Catholic Church has been particularly hard hit as it faced changing demographics in thousands of parishes. Whereas 50 years ago, Sunday masses were well-attended and parishes seemed to flourish, nowadays the neighborhoods have changed, leaving small, aging congregations struggling to keep the doors of their beloved old church open. Soaring energy and maintenance costs, as well as a lack of priests, have further exacerbated the problem.
The Child Abuse Settlements
The scandals which have rocked the American Catholic Church from 2000-2018 effectively drained the coffers of dozens of Catholic dioceses, requiring enormous settlements to bring a conclusion to the legal process. Church property and other tangible assets were sold to raise money to fund the settlements. Hundreds of schools which had been kept afloat with diocesan support had their financial lifeline cut off. The diocesan and archdiocesan authorities had no other choice.
I know that Catholic education will survive long term. But what will in look like in the next decade. In my opinion, what we have seen is a winnowing process in which schools which already had financial and enrollment issues have been forced to face up to those issues. If those schools found answers to their problems, they survived. If they didn't, they closed their doors. In many cases, diocesan authorities consolidated several schools which had low student populations into one larger school. The schools which are left are the ones which have weathered all the economic and cultural onslaughts which have been thrown at them over the past decade. They will probably continue to survive and find new ways to thrive. Many catholic schools are proactively reaching out to their communities.
There are lessons to be learned from the closing of Holy Cross High School and Guerin Prep High Schools in River Grove, Illinois. But will we take it to heart and preserve Catholic educational institutions over the next decade. We as alum of Holy Cross, Mother Guerin and Guerin Prep know the value of catholic education, but does the world really understand it. We do know that the world is a better place because of those that chose to attend high school at 80th and Belmont in River Grove, Illinois.

Carol Czarnecki says:
The catholic high schools that thrive both academically and athletically will continue to do well. St. Ignatius, Loyola Academy, Fenwick, Benet Academy to name a few. The mediocre schools will probably close because families are not going to pay 10000 plus for their kids to attend these schools. Also Montini and Nazerath Academy won girls state volleyball titles in their classes. Fenwick won its first state football title in their class. DePaul Prep built a new state of the art high school in Roscoe Village.

Britney Spears Breaks Her Silence In Lengthy Post Addressing All The Rumors!
Holy s**t!!!
Ask and you shall receive!!
After hearing TONS of rumors (some too disturbing to process) about her current wellness situation, the pop princess took to Instagram late Tuesday evening to address it all:
I wanted to say hi, because things that are being said have just gotten out of control!!! Wow!!! There's rumors, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things crazy things being said. I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that's happening is just making it harder for me. Don't believe everything you read and hear. These fake emails everywhere were crafted by Sam Lutfi years ago… I did not write them. He was pretending to be me and communicating with my team with a fake email address. My situation is unique, but I promise I'm doing what's best at this moment 🌸🌸🌸 You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want! Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you ❤❤❤
A post shared by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) on Apr 23, 2019 at 6:30pm PDT
In the video, she says:
"Hi guys, just checking in with all of you who are concerned about me. All is well. My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately, so I just needed some time to deal. But don't worry, I'll be back very soon."
Then in her caption she wrote:
"I wanted to say hi, because things that are being said have just gotten out of control!!! Wow!!! There's rumors, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things crazy things being said. I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that's happening is just making it harder for me."
She stresses how important it is to not believe everything you read:
"Don't believe everything you read and hear. These fake emails everywhere were crafted by Sam Lutfi years ago… I did not write them. He was pretending to be me and communicating with my team with a fake email address. My situation is unique, but I promise I'm doing what's best at this moment.

Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you."
Consider us SHOOK.
Despite this, there will still be people will of course say she was coached. What do U think?

Penny Wright (ex Greens Senator) officially opens the 5th Annual National BPD Awareness Conference and reflects on her time within the Greens Party and expresses empathy with the daily struggle consumers experience.
Senator Wright's comment resonated with participants when she said "I have learned how difficult it is for some people to get out of bed – every day takes courage".
Prof Andrew Chanen gave the keynote address at Annual BPD Awareness week conference on 2nd October 2015 in Adelaide. He speaks very passionately about the many advances made in therapy options and the importance of acknowledging that BPD is a treatable illness.
Professor Andrew Chanen is Director of Clinical Services at Orygen Youth Health Clinical Program, Melbourne, and Deputy Research Director at Orygen Youth Health Research Centre & Centre for Youth Mental Health, The University of Melbourne. He established and directs the Helping Young People Early (HYPE) program, a clinical, research and training program investigating the understanding of and prevention and early intervention for severe personality disorder, particularly borderline personality disorder in youth.
He is President of the International Society for the Study of Personality Disorders (ISSPD). He has previously served on numerous expert groups including The Australian Government's Expert Reference Group on Borderline Personality Disorder, the Development Group for the NHMRC Clinical Practice Guideline for Borderline Personality Disorder and the NHMRC/beyondblue Clinical Practice Guideline for Depression in Adolescents and Young Adults. Andrew has over 70 scientific publications and serves on the Editorial Boards of Early Intervention in Psychiatry, Personality and Mental Health, Borderline Personality Disorder and Emotion Dysregulation, and Psychopathology. He is a member of the ICD-11 Review Group for the Classification of Personality Disorders.
The Australian BPD Foundation wishes to acknowledge the support of Flinders University SA in making this video available. NB Unfortunately due to a technical hitch the slide for the previous speaker is shown for a short period at the start of Andrew's speech and the final couple of minutes cut off.
Karen has been in a caring role for people with Borderline Personality Disorder for over 10 years, and works part-time as a librarian. She has attended Carer Support groups, courses and workshops, and wants to share her life experiences as well as difficulties in navigating the confusing Mental Health system. Currently, Karen is passionate about, and has been active in lobbying politicians for a statewide specialist BPD service in South Australia.
Professor Brin Grenyer. Brin is Director of the Project Air Strategy for Personality Disorders (www.projectairstrategy.org), a NSW Health funded priority project. The ability to diagnose and respond appropriately to a person with a personality disorder is crucial for effective treatment.
The Project Air team works with local health district staff to develop their skills and confidence in responding to the needs of people with personality disorders. They also work with consumers, carers, parents and families, and they develop clinical pathways for patients to be referred for evidence-based treatments. Professor Grenyer is Professor and Clinical Psychologist at the Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute, University of Wollongong.
Dr Clara Bookless gave the first presentation in the 'Commonalities in therapeutic approaches" concurrent session. In this presentation she talks about MBT (Mentalisation Based Therapy).

Guthrie, A History of Greek Philosophy
By: Xenotheka
All volumes of Professor Guthrie's great history of Greek philosophy have won their due acclaim. The most striking merits of Guthrie's work are his mastery of a tremendous range of ancient literature and modern scholarship, his fairness and balance of judgement and the lucidity and precision of his English prose. He has achieved clarity and comprehensiveness.

Intercept's (ICPT) NDA for NASH Treatment Accepted By FDA

Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (
ICPT - Free Report) announced that the FDA has accepted the company's new drug application (NDA) for obeticholic acid (OCA) that seeks accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with pre-cirrhotic liver fibrosis due to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
The FDA indicated that it considers this a complete Class 2 resubmission and has assigned a target action date of Jun 22, 2023, for the NDA.
The NDA, submitted last month, is supported by two positive interim 18-month analyses from the phase III REGENERATE study in patients with pre-cirrhotic liver fibrosis due to NASH. Data showed OCA 25 mg consistently demonstrated double the response rate of placebo in reduction in liver fibrosis stage without worsening of any of the three histologic components of NASH, an endpoint consistent with the FDA's draft guidance. Additionally, a detailed assessment of 2,477 patients in REGENERATE, including nearly 1,000 patients on a study drug for at least four years, provides a well-characterized safety profile that is monitorable and manageable and supports the chronic administration of OCA.
Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Price and Consensus
Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Quote
In June 2020, Intercept received a complete response letter ("CRL") from the FDA stating that its NDA for OCA for the treatment of liver fibrosis due to NASH could not be approved in its present form. The CRL indicated that the FDA has determined that the predicted benefit of OCA, based on a surrogate histopathologic endpoint, remains uncertain and does not sufficiently outweigh the potential risks to support accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with liver fibrosis due to NASH. This analysis was based on the data reviewed by the agency. The FDA then recommended that Intercept submit additional post-interim analysis efficacy and safety data from the ongoing REGENERATE study in support of potential accelerated approval and that the long-term outcomes phase of the trial should continue.
OCA is approved under the brand name Ocaliva for treating primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in adults with an inadequate response to UDCA alone or as a monotherapy for adults intolerant to UDCA.
Intercept's shares have gained 6.4% in the last six months compared with the industry's growth of 1.7%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The successful development of OCA for NASH will give a significant boost to Intercept.
While the NASH market promises potential with no approved therapies yet, it is challenging.
Quite a few players are trying their hand at successfully developing a treatment for the same condition.
Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (
MDGL - Free Report) skyrocketed significantly on Dec 19 after the company announced positive top line results from the phase III MAESTRO-NASH biopsy clinical trial of resmetirom, a liver-directed selective thyroid hormone receptor agonist. The study achieved both liver histological improvement endpoints as proposed by the FDA, which is likely to predict clinical benefit for supporting accelerated approval of resmetirom to treat NASH with liver fibrosis. Madrigal intends to file an NDA seeking accelerated approval of resmetirom for treating non-cirrhotic NASH with liver fibrosis.
Earlier this month, Chemomab Therapeutics, Ltd. (
CMMB - Free Report) announced that its mid-stage study evaluating CM-101 in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients was successful. The trial met its primary endpoint of safety and tolerability, and CM-101 achieved reductions in secondary endpoints that include a range of liver fibrosis biomarkers and physiologic assessments measured at baseline and at week 20. Shares of Chemomab gained on the same.

Multilayer dielectric optical coatings, nominally consisting of 1000 or more optical-quarterwave layers, have been prepared by reacting SiC14 and a halogenated dopant (e.g. GeCl4) with 02 in a microwave-driven plasma. The dopant concentration is such that the index difference (An) between adjacent quarterwave layers is about 0.02 or less. The deposition is carried out at high substrate temperatures (850 to 1100°C) producing a fully dense, fused silica coating. Surface damage thresholds of high reflectivity (HR) coatings prepared by this plasma process are comparable to those for fused silica. For example, at 1.06 p.m and 16-ns we measure surface damage thresholds greater than 45 J/cm2 compared to about 45-60 J/cm2 for super-polished optical fused silica.


There's no doubt that fashion is a difficult business. Trends come and go, and consumers can be fickle. However, making bank can be easier to do when expanding your target market and trying your hand at producing one-size-fits-all items. Take Coach for example. This leatherware company started out as a family-run business in 1941 manufacturing pocket wallets and billfolds made by hand and employed a mere 6 people. 73 years later and still located on 34th street in Manhattan (although a new headquarters is slated to open at the Hudson Yards in 2015), the company has experienced such growth and success that it employs approximately 12,000 people and has been able to expand from inception to include men and women's handbags, laptop cases, accessories, ready-to-wear lines, shoes, fragrances, and even launched a luxury brand (which has since broken off) under the name of its former Executive Creative Director, Reed Krakoff. (Krakoff was the Vice President of the CFDA and is noted for his designs which boosted the company's sales turning it into an accessories giant worth billions).
While there are several key factors that have contributed to Coach's long-term success, such as talent, organization, owning office real estate in New York City, outsourcing manufacturing to China, and creating high quality products (the kind that retain healthy resale value), it is certain that offering one-size-fits-all, functional merchandise has been paramount in the company's growth. Statistically speaking, women's handbags account for 58% of the company's net income, followed by women's accessories at 23%.
What does the national market look like for handbags? United States sales in this sector alone reached up to $8 billion in 2011 (up from $6 billion in 2006) according to market researcher Mintel. This makes sense considering women are willing to pay more for decent handbags these days.
Today, Coach is a leader in leather goods and the fashion industry under the direction of Victor Luis (CEO), Lew Frankfurt (Chairman of the Board), and Executive Creative Director Stuart Vevers that generates about $5.07539 billion a year (2013), proving that one-size-fits-all merchandise is a great way to go in this industry. Yet there is still high competition. Coach continues to be active in the $200-$400 space, but is fighting for market share with brands such as Michael Kors, Kate Spade and Tory Burch in the United States, and Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Burberry in Europe.


The Philadelphia Convention (now also known as the Constitutional Convention, the Federal Convention, or the "Grand Convention at Philadelphia") took place from May 25 to September 17, 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to address problems in governing the United States of America, which had been operating under the Articles of Confederation following independence from Great Britain. Although the Convention was purportedly intended only to revise the Articles of Confederation, the intention of many of its proponents, chief among them James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, was from the outset to create a new government rather than "fix" the existing one. The delegates elected George Washington to preside over the convention. The result of the Convention was the United States Constitution. The Convention is one of the central events in the history of the United States.

The Ascona Chess Festival will take place from the 3rd to the 9th of December, 2007, in Lugano, Switzerland. It will consist of 3 tournaments – The Ascona Open, the U25 Young Masters, and the InterNET Open. The total prize fund is 32 000 CHF, very attractive amount that will surely convince more strong players to sign up. The time control is 40 moves in 120 mins + 60 minutes, and it will be Swiss.
The main event will feature many strong GMs and IMs. Among them will be GM Boris Chatalbashev (champion of Bulgaria and participant in the ETCC 2007), GM Mihajlo Stojanovic (a frequent Chessdom contributor), GM Ivan Ivanisevic, GM Vadim Malakhatko, GM Christian Bauer, IM Elena Sedina, etc. In the Young Masters U25 we will see GM Merab Guganashwili, GM Sebastien Maze, GM Leonid Kritz, WGM Sabina Foisor, WGM A.

Besides the three main events, the Ascona Chess Festival will feature blitz and rapid tournaments, which makes a total of 5 events! A true festival of chess. Expect updates of the participants list and interviews with players later this month.


Jodie Carey's Untitled (Slabs), 2012, is an ambitious installation of seven large (about ten feet tall) cast plaster slabs, reinforced with burlap and mounted on wooden armatures. Crowded into this small gallery, they have a stronger, more intimate presence than their display last year in the roomier premises of the New Art Gallery in Walsall, England-an intimacy wholly beneficial to their effect.
Gently and painstakingly tinted with colored pencils, the surfaces of the "slabs" bring to mind a portable Sol LeWitt wall drawing, covered as they are in delicate fields of pastel hue that form a striking contrast with their heavy-duty supports, which in turn function as a kind of reality-check. The wooden frames are pinned down by hand-sewn burlap sandbags, an expedient (otherwise the frames might topple forward) that becomes an important part of the design-more "reality." If at first the "slabs" appear as freestanding paintings, the manner in which the support reveals its construction-suggesting traditional plastered supports bound with organic materials such as horsehair-clarifies their status as sculptural works to be experienced in space.
Carey belongs to a new generation of sculptors, predominantly female, who combine an exploration of materiality with a strong sense of craft, and an aesthetic of construction verging on the Brutalist. She avoids the common pitfall of overlaying meticulous construction with unnecessary connotation, opting instead to adopt a refined and restrained "it is what it is" aesthetic. Carey will open two new exhibitions in Berlin later this month, at the Galerie Roland Anselmi and the Neue Berliner Räume; Untitled (Slabs)bodes well for these shows and for her future work overall.

Reinventing the Wheelbarrow: A Mini Documentary on Overland Carts
by Overland Staff | Apr 29, 2016 | Overland Carts
Overland Carts Hits the Big Screen!
Overland electric carts and wheelbarrows were featured on a local morning show last year in Toledo, OH. Soon after that, Overland Carts was contacted by Voices In America about doing a mini documentary on electric wheelbarrows. The show is hosted by James Earl Jones and instantly drew an interested ear from the Overland Team. It was quickly decided that we would take the opportunity to educate American people about the benefits of electric power and advantage of Overland Carts.
Who is Voices In America?
Voices In America is a well respected short form documentary company. They work by capturing unique stories and then distributing them through Public Television. Voices In America works through a variety of industries and people. There have been features with presidents, Fortune 500 CEO's and many innovative companies. Their success has been found in finding truly unique people and products and then beautifully crafting a media experience around them. James Earl Jones, yes THAT James Earl Jones, hosts the program, introducing each segment and doing the outro.
Why Did Overland Carts Get Involved?
Overland Electric Carts has been continually cutting the front edge of the electric wheelbarrow industry. Being a pioneer in development has presented a core set of issues, primarily, most potential customers are not aware that an electric wheelbarrow exists. Overland Carts is continually introducing the concept and then following up with the sale. This seemed opportunity seemed like a great way to inform the general viewing public about the joy and advantage of electric power. Voices In America was very interested in filming the manufacturing process and highlighting the fact that all Overland Carts are made in America.
What did Voices In America shoot all day?
Voices In America did a very thorough job of covering every reason that makes Overland Carts great. The day started with interviews of the president, general manager and marketing director. The shoot then moved out to the manufacturing plant. The crew documented the various metal working processes go into an Overland Cart chassis. These processes include: plasma cutting, welding, bending, powder coating and final assembly. After that it was moving to an on site location. The filming included various carts in action, plus an interview with two users of Overland Carts. The videographer was quite impressed with the Overland Wheelbarrows and even offered up a marketing slogan "We didn't reinvent the wheel, we reinvented the wheelbarrow". Time will tell if that takes off.
All the photos from the day can be viewed on facebook: Overland Facebook Page
When will the production be live and aired?
In about six to eight weeks the production will be through editing. It will be aired 2-4 weeks after that. The mini documentary will be on the air for an entire year. Overland will release more information as the time draws near.

VA Unemployability Calculator
HomeVA Unemployability Calculator
Use this form to determine if you meet the required threshold for an unemployability rating.
1.	Do you have a single disability rated 60% or higher?
2.	Is your current combined rating 70% or higher?
Use Calculator to Find Your Combined Percentage
a.	Do you have multiple disabilities of your arms?
Is the combined rating of these multiple disabilities 40% or higher?
b.	Do you have multiple disabilities of your legs?
c. Do you have multiple disabilities from same problem (i.e. diabetes and secondary problems like neuropathy or back and radiculopathy down the legs)?
d.	Do you have multiple disabilities affecting same body system (there are 11 body systems)?
e.	Do you have multiple disabilities from same accident?
f.	Do you have multiple disabilities from combat (this includes if you were exposed to Agent Orange)?
g.	Do you have multiple issues from your time as a POW?
3.	Is your combined rating at 60%?
Is the combined rating of these multiple disabilities 60%?
f.	Do you have multiple disabilities from combat (this includes if you were exposed to Agent Orange or have Gulf War syndrome)?
Done! You meet the rating threshold to receive IU. Now you must prove that your service connected disabilities prevent you from working. For more help on this please review our IU guide or contact us for a free case evaluation.
Based on your answers you do not meet the threshold for a scheduler IU rating. Even so, your claim is not done but you must go through the extra schedular unemployability process
Hill & Ponton VA Unemployability Calculator
What is an Unemployability Rating?
If a veteran receives entitlement to individual unemployability (IU), that means he or she is considered to have a 100% rating. When determining entitlement to IU, the VA will first look to see if a veteran's service-connected condition(s) meet certain ratings. Use this calculator to see if your current disability ratings meet the VA's rating threshold for IU.
What are the Rating Requirements for Individual Unemployability?
There are two ways a veteran can meet the rating threshold for IU:
The veteran has one service-connected disability rated 60% or higher
The veteran has multiple service-connected disabilities that combine to a rating of at least 70%, and at least one of those disabilities is rated 40% or higher
Single disability Rated at 60% or Higher
An example of this would be a veteran who has a 60% rating for coronary artery disease.
Combined Rating of 70% or Higher with One Disability Rated 40% or Higher
The combined rating is the rating that the VA uses to determine a veteran's monthly compensation. If you are unsure what your combined rating is, you can use this calculator from our website.
If a veteran has a combined rating of at least 70%, the next question is whether one of his service-connected disabilities is rated at 40% or higher. For example, a veteran has a combined rating of 70%, and his service-connected PTSD is rated at 50%. This veteran would meet the rating threshold for IU.
Sometimes a veteran might have multiple service-connected conditions that the VA will treat as a single disability for purposes of determining whether a veteran meets the rating threshold for IU. The VA considers the following to be one disability for purposes of determining whether a veteran meets the rating threshold for IU:
Disabilities of one or both upper extremities, or of one or both lower extremities. For example, the veteran has neuropathy in his right and left arms and/or both his right and left legs.
Disabilities resulting from a common etiology or a single accident. Examples of these include disabilities that result from the same problem (conditions that are secondary to diabetes), disabilities that are a result of exposure to Agent Orange, or disabilities that happened in an IED blast or a car accident.
Disabilities affecting a single body system. For example, multiple orthopedic conditions can combine as "one disability."
Disabilities incurred in combat
Disabilities from time as a POW
An example of when multiple disabilities can combine as one disability for IU purposes would be a veteran with a combined rating of 70%, has a service-connected knee disability, neck disability, and low back disability. The knee, neck, and low back ratings combine to 40%. This veteran would meet the rating threshold for IU.
Combined Rating of 60%
If you have multiple service-connected disabilities that combine to a rating of at least 60%, and all of these disabilities fit into one of the five situations described above (i.e. the VA will consider the multiple disabilities as a single disability) you would meet the rating threshold for IU. For example, if a veteran is service-connected for diabetes mellitus type II and for peripheral neuropathy secondary to diabetes and these conditions combine to a rating of 60%, then he has met the rating threshold for IU.
Even if you do not meet the above rating requirements, you MAY still be entitled to individual unemployability. If your service-connected condition(s) keep you from working, the VA must consider entitlement to individual unemployability regardless of your ratings. This is referred to as individual unemployability on an extraschedular basis.


A neighbor found the 4-month-old alone, crying and covered in feces and urine, warrant says.
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — A Clarksville woman was arrested after her 4-month-old son was found alone in her apartment, crying and covered in feces and urine, according to an arrest warrant.
Detectives estimate the infant was left unsupervised for 24-48 hours before he was found.
According to an arrest warrant, Clarksville Police went to an apartment on Cobalt Drive Monday evening. There they met a woman who said the infant's aunt called to check on the baby.
The aunt thought the woman had been caring for the boy because that's what his mother told her, according to a warrant.
The woman went to the apartment, and from the parking lot could hear a child crying. She knocked on the door but no one answered.
The woman used a card to get inside and found the baby on the floor by himself.
He was wearing only a t-shirt and diaper, and his diaper was full and overflowing. His t-shirt had feces and urine stains going about three-quarters of the way up the back, the warrant said.
The woman turned the shirt over to police.
The warrant said, "It is believed the child was left in the residence without any supervision for approximately 24 to 48 hours."
The boy's mother, Brooke Jenkines, 21, was charged Tuesday with aggravated child abuse and neglect. She was booked into the Montgomery County Jail on $25,000 bond.
According to her arrest warrant, she told a Department of Children's Services investigator that the child was left alone for approximately three-and-a-half hours.
