This is a wonderful question that so many parents can relate to. Let's look into how to begin teaching genuine sharing amongst siblings and gradually boost those connections and enjoyable exchanges.
In order for someone to be generous with their belongings, there needs to be a genuine sense of ownership.
So often we forget the relevance of ownership before generosity. I encourage families to allow their child or children to experience ownership by having their own toy box, their own play room or their own bookshelf. Choose whatever is reasonable within your family, so each child has the opportunity to experience responsibility and ownership with their own items i.e toys, clothes or books.
By dedicating a specific area or toy box for your child and allowing them to decorate it and label it as their own, you'll find that feelings of ownership will come naturally.
You can start by using a beach towel, small blanket or sheet. Basically anything that will give your family a designated area to sit on and share – just like a picnic.
Announce to your children that you will be playing a new game. It's called "The Sharing Blanket" or whatever catchy nickname you can think of!
Each member of the family needs to bring an item from their ownership box to the blanket. If you have only recently introduced ownership boxes, then it's very possible that your child might resist bringing any special toys at first. That's okay! They can simply watch you play this with your partner or spouse, the other kids, grandparents, whoever is around – or perhaps they might like to join in with a toy that belongs to everybody. It doesn't have to be a 'special toy' while they're still learning the rules of the game.
When everyone brings something that is significant and special to the blanket, it's important that this is genuine. I know that I would bring a coffee cup to the blanket, my husband would probably bring a tool from his garage. This is most effective when adults initiate and model how to play!
Once everyone has brought their significant toy to the blanket, sit down together and set a timer for 2 to 5 minutes. You can then take turns passing around the toys, so that everyone gets a chance to play or experience the different objects.
Remember – this is only as exciting and engaging as you make it. It's important that you model the behaviour that you would want from your children. Smiles and high-fives go a long way.
Schedule time to play this new sharing game 2 to 3 times every week. Within a couple of weeks, your children will start initiating sharing on their own! This is because you have taken the time to model and teach sharing while everyone is calm. By introducing genuine ownership, your children don't feel the risk of missing out on anything and you've practiced flexibility by incorporating time contingencies with your younger children.
Whilst this may seem like an ongoing commitment, you are guiding your children on how to genuinely share with each other. This is also great way to teach replacement skills to arguing, bickering and fighting amongst each other.
I have taught countless families how to introduce this activity and each time they have come back to me in less than a week, sharing their success story. Their children are suddenly playing beautifully and getting the sharing blanket out on their own – without the parents initiation.
Child-centred activities work wonders when we remember to keep it fun and light – children love learning!

Treats atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). This is a large coming market in cardiac area that is unsolved. The clinical trials they are doing in the US and Europe are indicating that the doctors are really adopting the product. Will probably be the leading therapy in this area. Expecting a takeout, especially if they get FDA approval.
Has some experts telling him he should be looking at this again.
As a medical device company its got its risks. The market they are in is not fully developed, so they need to clear the FDA hurdles, develop a market and hit their milestones. Arctic Circler(R) should be a very big piece of that. Expects to have some very good news in 05/06 on this.
Just did a financing and the stock can't seem to get beyond the financing price. Unfortunately had to raise cash to get to the next level. Likes the product and the management team. Longer term, it's a good keeper, but doesn't expect a whole lot in the short term. Their US revenues have to ramp up before the market gets excited. Selling his position.
Recently did a financing which is typical for a lot of biotech companies. Their research is very interesting. Trying to increase their marketing internationally.
Using freezing instead of heat to treat injuries to the heart will be the big driver next year. Good technology that is being accepted. Long term should be good, but short term would be concerned about general market risk.
Well managed and well financed. Takeover is a possibility.
The market is looking for more sales from this company.
The value for stock will increase to 8 dollars. Therefore, hold the stocks.
Have a better product for surgeons to cure ablation of the heart. Starting to ramp up with approval in Europe and the US. Next quarter is important as you want to see the hockey stick ramp continue.
Likes both the product and the space.
Making substantial progress. The procedure they do takes less time and it had 100% success rate. Starting to see surgeons adopt this. The company will ultimately be sold.
In a very large and growing market. A technology that is getting more and more accepted. Expecting very large revenue growth out of them this year. New products coming out in the third quarter. Could eventually be a takeover target.
Medical device companies are a bit of a minefield because big boys like Abbott, Baxter, Johnson & Johnson control the purchasing through a hospital. Interesting technology. Using a lot of cash. Wait to see their numbers. A high risk situation.

Armed Civilians Challenge South Sudan Government
Nenad Marinkovic February 15, 2012 June 8, 2017 No comments
Posted by Nenad Marinkovic on February 15, 2012
BOR, South Sudan — While the government of South Sudan is pondering the best way to tackle growing insecurity and prospects of persistent inter-communal hostility, the restive state of Jonglei, the scene of the recent deadly clashes, is enveloped in fear, anxiety, and anticipation of likely reprisal attacks—a situation which, if not handled sensibly, may escalate.
Nothing but a single metal pole, driven into the ground, marks the border dividing two hostile communities, the Murle in Pibor and the Dinka in Bor County. Civilians from either side rarely cross this ambiguous borderline.
"There are no Murle people in the state capital," said Orozu Daky, a pastor at the Presbyterian Church who hails from Pibor, the epicenter of the recent clashes. Pastor Duky blames the government for marginalizing the Murle community, saying that, unlike other communities, the Murle don't have many high-level advocates.
"There is no one to bring our case out. We don't enjoy basic rights in Jonglei state," Daky told Enough.
Pibor still bears marks of the recent conflict: households burned to the ground, trenches along the town's defense lines, and talk and fear of the massive mobilization in Lou Nuer and Bor Dinka areas to "finish" the conflict once and for all—a continuation of the rhetoric used prior to the December attacks that raised concerns about ethnic cleansing and even genocide. South Sudan police have reported nearly two-dozen cases of raiding and killing just in the past few weeks in both Bor and Pibor County.
In a dramatic show of force in late December and early January, Lou Nuer and Bor Dinka unleashed major destruction against the Murle community in Pibor County. Locals in Pibor town say more then 3,000 were killed, some 1,000 children and women were abducted, and 375,000 cattle were stolen. The United Nations, however, cautioned against such inflated estimates of casualties. Humanitarian aid groups warn the recent clashes could trigger a large-scale humanitarian crisis in South Sudan.
On the way to the Jonglei capital of Bor, the checkpoint along the road looks over the flat and nearly bare grassland and seems to be manned by as many trained men the state government could assemble, from traffic police officers, the wildlife protection corps, and prison guards. Beyond that point, villages stand abandoned, one after another, in troubling tranquility.
Jonglei Deputy Governor Hussein Mar Nyuot said that Bor is overwhelmed by people moving to be closer to overt government presence.
"There are goats and cattle on the streets as people from the villages are moving to town," he said. Security concerns have forced businesses and hotels in town to close earlier than usual, and the increased presence of armed forces is apparent.
John, a Dinka from Bor, said people have left their villages and headed to the capital for safety.
John said he travelled from Pibor to attend the funeral of his young nephew who was killed by Murle. His nephew was part of a group of young Bor Dinka who attacked the town of Gurmuk in Pibor County on February 7, killing nine Murle and wounding 11 more. John said he was in Pibor, helping an international aid agency distributing food to displaced Murle, when his nephew attacked Gurmuk.
"If I was in Bor at the time, I wouldn't let him go," John said.
John's story is a common one in Jonglei state. The poisoning residue of South Sudan's war-ridden past is abundant in these parts of the new country. Unlike educational or economic opportunities, weapons are plentiful for local youth, regardless of the government's recurrent disarmament activities. And Lou Nuer and Bor Dinka hold a massive grudge against the Murle as a whole for their notoriety as child abductors and cattle thieves—a perception government officials and community leaders have done too little to address, and in some cases, have even stoked.
"What criminals from Murle community are doing can only be described as terrorism," Deputy Governor Hussein told Enough. "If we don't disarm civilians, South Sudan may turn into a failed state," he said, and then in an allusion to Somalia, added, "We may start running our country from a hotel while being protected by the international forces."

Immaculate Yacht Priced to Sell!
Rarely does a boat come on the market that has been maintained at this level that can boast value with supreme functionality, style, performance and safety all in one. Jeanneau named this model the NC11 which stands for New Concept, aptly named as this boat is chalked full of innovative ideas and usage of space. She has been maintained and upgraded with West Coast boating in mind.
This turnkey yacht is the LOWEST PRICED NC11 in North America and is ready for her new owner. Call today to make an appointment to see this wonderful boat.
Designed by Garroni and Premorel Concept, the NC11 is a totally new take on space and life aboard.
Contemporary elegance is complemented by total transparency and seamless space. The modular internal features are restrained and comfortable: cabins, huge bathroom, salon, storage…and more. Sterndrive transmission and carefully-chosen engine power are responsible design features. A sophisticated product that will appeal to true connoisseurs. A panoramic view and a fully equipped helm station make coastal cruising easy and enjoyable. Bright natural lighting and excellent ventilation bring you closer to the elements.
Boarding through either port or starboard gates, immediately you find one of the many innovative features of this boat, the sliding cockpit lounge. When fully aft, you instantly feel as though you are on a much larger yacht. The transition from the cockpit to the salon is totally seamless, further complimenting the feeling of a much larger vessel. The house is slightly offset to starboard, the result is a safe and generous walk around to port. When the sliding lounge is forward, a large swim platform is revealed and the owner has implemented a very clever removable davit/tender launch system. Large hatches in the deck give access to the engines, new generator and plenty of additional storage. The lounge also opens from both sides and adds a significant amount of additional storage.
The ground tackle has been upgraded to include a Bruce anchor with 200' of chain and 150' of rode, perfect for anchoring in the deep waters off of Catalina. More upgrades by her meticulous owner include the addition of a cockpit salt water washdown, custom canvas bimini for the cockpit and special mesh safety inserts to baby proof/pet proof salon and access to the bow (removable and not noticeable when not in use).
Boarding through port and starboard swinging gates.
The beautiful deckhouse is a brilliantly designed combination of Salon, Galley and pilot house. Connected through four sliding-glass panels that separate the cockpit and house. Cleverly designed to open from the port or starboard side. Three panels can be open at any given time, allowing a seamless transition between the cockpit and saloon.
Interior Laminated cherry floors and cabinetry contrast well with the white upholstery and white panels attached to gloss white fiberglass. Soft-close drawer slides are used throughout. Snap-in carpets fit most floor spaces. All lighting is energy-saving LEDs (with white or blue mood lighting in the cockpit). Handrails are well placed for moving around in bumpy conditions. Great expanses of windows surround the salon and are fitted with dark grey curtains. A massive overhead opening skylight with electronic controls brings the outdoors right into the saloon. The starboard side of the saloon is given over to what at first appears to be a standard dinette for four. In reality, it is one of the best uses of space you will ever see. The aft dinette seat is reversible so that its back flips forward to make a cockpit-facing lounge. With the glass panel doors slid to port, this seat becomes part of the cockpit entertaining area. The hi-low dinette table swivels and has two leaves. It is on sliders and can be moved inboard or outboard and its wide, flat base can be unscrewed by hand and moved out to the aft deck. The forward dinette seat flips forward and rises at the same time to become a forward-facing companion helm seat. And there's more. Two square upholstered stools are tucked under the starboard cabin side. They can be lifted out and used as two more dinette seats.
The helm is situated to port with excellent visibility and a nice dash layout. A sliding door next to the helm gives excellent access to the walk around deck and with a midship cleat right outside which makes docking maneuvers a breeze. Packed with great features like joystick control, digital & analog gauges and a full featured multifunction navigation display. You will have total confidence cruising and docking in complete safety.
Another great feature the owner has added is the Volvo Easy Connect. This gives you engine, boat and route data displayed directly on your smart device via Bluetooth. This is a great feature for planning trips from home and practical while you are onboard.
This full featured galley offers all the standard features you will traditionally expect with much more. When not in use, the galley tucks away and looks like a well-crafted credenza with a wood countertop. There is plenty of built-in storage in drawers and cabinets both fore and aft. Additionally there are two massive lockers under the floor of the salon that include eight (8) large pull out drawers.
Every area on this boat has been thought out and put to use and the master is no exception. The forward island berth pulls aft to give greater length while in use and pushes forward while not in use providing valuable walk-around space. Port lights to both port and starboard along with an opening overhead hatch brings in a lot of natural light.
The Guest cabin extends aft beneath the salon and offers the ability to convert the bed from a large queen bed as shown in the photos to two twin beds. An opening port light to starboard and plenty of storage along with a convertible bed offer guests a comfortable retreat.
This large head boasts a very large separate shower with bench, plenty of storage and an opening port light for fresh air and natural light.
If you have any questions or comments, or if you would like to contact me for more information, please use the form below and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

One in three women experiences urinary stress incontinence in her life.
For example, following one or several pregnancies, during perimenopause and menopause, when practicing high-impact sports, or due to other reasons.
Too many women still think that urinary stress incontinence is an inevitable part of aging and that they have to live with it as best as possible. In fact, women spend an average of $44 per month, i.e. over $500 per year to cope with the inconvenience of urinary leakage without really solving their symptoms.

The highest point in the district is Bepotsin (212 metres), west of Mfuom. The Pra River and its tributaries including Obuo, bimpong and Ongwa drain the district. The Kakum River also takes its source from the Kakum forest reserve. The District has a rolling landscape.
The district lies within the semi-equatorial zone marked by double maximal rainfall which peaks in June and October, and with a mean annual rainfall of 1750mm. It has fairly high uniform temperature ranging between 26˚C (in August) and 30˚C (in March). Relative Humidity is generally high throughout the year, ranging between 70 – 80 percent in the dry season and 75 – 80 percent in the wet season.
The District's vegetation consists basically of semi-deciduous forest. Portions of which have been largely disturbed by the activities of man through farming, logging and mining among others. There are however, large areas of forest reserves including the Kakum National Park, Bimpong Forest Reserve, Pra Suhyen Forest Reserve, Minta Forest Reserve, and Bonsaben Forest Reserve. These forest reserves and the Kakum National Park altogether cover an area of 288km2 that is 24.0 percent of the entire surface area of the district.
GEOLOGY AND MINERAL DEPOSITS
The land is underlined by Birimian and Tarkwaian rocks which are very rich in mineral deposits. The minerals found in the distric include: Gold at Mfuom, River Botro, and Afiafiso. Diamond deposits can also be found at Afiafiso and Manganese at Asamang and Twifo Mampong. Within the Pra River can be found Birimian and Tarkwaian rocks. These rocks hold the potential for the exploitation of gold, and manganese. The bed of the River Pra has alluvial gold deposits which are currently being mined illegally by local Galamsey operators to the detriment of rural communities who drink the river water. The rocks in the Pra River could be used for quarrying purposes. These potentials need to be studied to establish the economic viability and feasibility of exploitation. The Pra River could also be used for fishing and river transport when properly dredged. However, these activities are limited by the presence of large rock outcrops, which prevent the use of canoes on the large scale.
SOILS, ECOLOGICAL ZONES AND AGRICULTURAL LAND USE
The District has five (5) main soil types namely:
The Nsaba-Swedru Compound: These are soils developed over granite that are well drained and respond well to phosphorus fertilizer application. They are excellent for the cultivation of tree crops such as cocoa, oil palm, citrus, and coffee, and food crops such as plantain, cocoyam, banana, and cassava. They can be found in the northern part of the district around Mampoma, Morkwa, Agona and Nkwankyemaso.
Nta-Offin Associates: These soils are developed over rocks which are poorly drained. They are generally suitable for the cultivation of tree crops such as citrus, cola and oil palm. In addition to the tree crops, these soils tend to support semi-perennial food crops, dry season vegetables, sugar cane, and rice. They are found around Brofoyedur and Bukruso.
Asuanzi-Kumasi Associates: These are soils developed over Tarkwaian rocks, which are moderately drained and are good for the cultivation of tree crops such as cocoa and forestry products. They also support food crops such as plantain, cocoyam, maize, cassava and banana. They have low soil nutrients and require nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer usage. Leaching needs to be avoided. These soils are found in the southern section of the District around Jukwa, Mampong, Ntafrewaso, Watreso and Krobo.
Bekwai-Nzema-Oda compound: These soils are suitable for the cultivation of perennial tree crops such as cocoa, oil palm, coconut, coffee and food crops such as maize, cassava, and cocoyam. They are found around Bepobeng, Moseaso, Nyinase and Tweapease.
Juaso-Manso-Kyekyewere-Kakum Compound: These soils support perennial tree crops such as cocoa, oil palm, coconut, coffee and food crops including maize, cassava, and plantain. They can be found around Mafi, Bonsaho, Ashire, Mbraem Afiaso Mampoma and Wawase areas.
DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS
Basic Population statistics
Year Estimated Population
The current Population growth rate is 4.1 %. This is higher than the corresponding regional growth rate of 1.8 %. The alarming situation is that the district growth rate is far higher than the national growth rate of 2.7%.
This calls for serious concerns in running population control programmes. The relatively high population growth rate is attributed to the fertile soils which support the cultivation of crops like oil palm, cocoa, plantain, cassava and others; and the fact that many migrant farmers and other vocations like Galamsey are living in the district.
FOOD CROPS PRODUCTION
Food crop production over the years has declined especially maize and cassava which are the main food stuff for the people in the district. This could be due to excessive commitment of lands into cocoa, oil palm and rubber. Details could be found in the tables below.

Crop farming in the District is mainly traditional whiles majority of the people are engaged in subsistence farming. This is basically due to the problem of limited access to finance, machinery and modern tools for farming. The major crops cultivated are cassava, Maize, Yam, Plantain, Vegetables, Oil Palm, Cocoa and Oranges. Most farmers cultivate three or more of these crops at a time and take advantage of their different seasons.
The district has four (4) main markets that are geographically well located in the district. Greater volume of trade takes place at Twifo Praso, Jukwa, Hemang and Wawase markets. The Twifo Praso market handles the largest proportion of farm produce. There are other satellite market centres at Nuamakrom, Kwamoano, Mbem, Twifo Mampong, Ampenkro, Aboabo, Agona, Mintaso, Mbraem, and Kyirenkum.
In view of the above, urban based middlemen within and outside the district undertakes marketing of farm produce. Most of the farmers sell their produce at the nearest local market to middlemen who in turn sell them to other marketing centres, especially Twifo Hemang, Jukwa, and Cape coast for sale.
Prices offered by the middlemen are very low and may serve as disincentive to the farmers. The poor conditions of the road network to the farming areas limit access to the bigger markets which can offer better prices.

According to a baseline survey conducted, farmers engage in crop farming keep livestock as well. These farmers are in the 75% majority. The types of animals kept include poultry (both exotic and local), pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, grass-cutters and snail.
They are reared as supplementary activity to meet the protein requirements and to earn additional income. The largest livestock activity is poultry. The animals reared are kept in pens and hen-coop while the goats, pigs, and sheep are kept by the free range, or Semi intensive system. The others especially poultry are fed in enclosed areas.

The number of cattle slaughtered dropped sharply in 2008. However, it is picking up again in 2010. Small ruminants (sheep and goats) slaughtered has increased steadily since 2008 and is still progressing. This could probably be attributed to the consumption pattern of the communities around and also the availability of the animals for slaughter. It must also be mentioned that there is a large community of miners prospecting for gold through dredging of the Pra River hence the increase in slaughter.

Animal diseases in the district are of great concern. These include endo-parasites, ecto-parasites, new castle, fowl pox, Gumboro and coccidiosis.
The other constraints are the non-availability of improved breeding stock, inadequate veterinary staff, the high cost of animal feed (poultry) and veterinary drugs.
The high levels of poultry vaccinations can be attributed to continuous education of those keeping poultry and the farmers themselves sensing danger of high loses if routine vaccinations are not followed.
INFORMATION ON FISHERIES
Aquaculture is the main method of fish captured production in the district. The number of farmers involved in aquaculture in the district is ninety-five (95). Out of this number, sixty-five (65) are active members of the District Fish Farmers Association. Apart from fish produced by the fish farmers, fresh and frozen and smoked fish from other parts of the country are also consumed in the district.
Below is detailed information on fish farming in the district.

SUMMARY OF FIELD DEMONSTRATIONS
The district directorate of agric conducted field demonstrations on maize and vegetables in seventeen different communities in the district in the period 2008 and 2009. Sixty-eight (68) acres of maize and seventeen vegetables plots were set up as a demonstration for farmers by 17 AEAs in the district during that period.

THE GOVERNMENT FERTILIZER SUBSIDY PROGRAMME
The government fertilizer programme started in the year 2008. The district registered all the fertilizer agents and agro-chemical sellers in the district. However, there was only one fertilizer agent in the Twifo Hemang District which had enough capital to start business. That is the Cocoa Inputs Shop at Twifo Praso. The table below indicates the number and types of fertilizers that was traded.

POTATO TRIALS
The district collaborated with Soil Research Institute (SRI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) to set up two (2) trial fields at Jukwa. The fields were demarcated into plots. Two well known potato varieties in the district namely Sauti with a purple tuber coat and a local variety called Santom with a yellowish-brown tuber coat were matched against five (5) different rates of fertilizers including;
Control plot (no poultry manure no fertilizer)
Poultry manure,
Poultry manure plus N. P. K.,
N. P. K. plus Sulphate of Ammonia
N. P. K. plus Sulphate of Ammonia plus Poultry manure
In the final analysis, the Poultry Manure treatment gave higher yields compared to the other treatments for both potato varieties. Farmers as well as patrons of the potato tuber prefer the santom due to its firmness when subjected to boiling or deep oil frying.
COCOA FERTILIZER TRIALS
The district in collaboration with Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG) is conducting a four year fertilizer trail on cocoa. The trail which started in May 2009 is expected to end in the year 2012.
Below is the detail information on the cocoa fertilizer trail.

HIV/AIDS EDUCATION FOR FARMERS
Awareness of the disease is very high but preventive measures need to be tackled as the youth in the communities do not mind about the consequences of the disease. Most of the young girls are involved in premarital sex resulting in teenage pregnancy. The farmers were also advised to do away with the stigma attached to those living with the disease and see them as part of the society. The Table below gives details of number of farmers sensitized on HIV/AIDS annually since 2008.

The World Vision International Twifo Praso provided fund for a training programme on Food Based Nutrition. The main purpose of the training was to re-introduce soybean, a crop which has almost the same nutrient as fish and meat. The training also educated the participants on the use of food stuff and available leafy vegetables to prepare a balanced diet. The sensitization was successful in sixteen (16) communities. Five hundred and two (502) people participated. This is made up of three hundred and ninety (390) females and one hundred and twelve (112) males.

12.5 FARMER REGISTRATION
The farmer registration is an on-going programme initiated by MoFA to collate data on farmers in general. Data collected include farm type; crop or animal production, the kind of commodity and the size of the farm. This is to enable the Ministry to plan and assist the improvement of agricultural activities in the district.
13. NEW INITIATIVES
The District wrote proposals on food based nutrition, tiger nuts production, sweet potato and chilli pepper production to solicit for funds from the district Assembly, NGOs and other philanthropies.
The programes aimed at training farmers on how these crops are produced. With these efforts, the Word Vision International (NGO) helped the directorate to train farmers on food base nutrition over the last two years.
Despite all limitations, the District uses the opportunity to organise fora in communities or Operational Areas without resident AEAs. This is often done to bridge the gap between areas without AEAs.
The District also distributes improved root and tuber planting materials to farmers in order to boost up production in the district.
14. 0 INFORMATION ON ACHIEVEMENTS 2008-2010
The District made achievement in different areas. These include;
Training of farmers on improved technologies such as row planting, safe use of agro-chemical, Breed improvement techniques, Soya Utilisation etc in Agriculture
85% Recovery of maize under the 2008 Maize demonstration.
61% recovery of loans under the Block Farm concept during 2009 farming season
100% recovery under the vegetable Block Farm during 2010 farming season.

Bonilla v. Hudson County
Bonilla v. Hudson County, Health Justice, Immigrant Justice
The family of Carlos Bonilla, a father of four who died from internal bleeding in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention, has filed a lawsuit against Hudson County and those responsible for his medical care while he was confined to immigration detention at Hudson County Correctional Center.
New York Lawyers for the Public Interest and Dechert LLP filed a civil rights and tort lawsuit in federal court today in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey arising out of Mr. Bonilla's wrongful death. The case details how Hudson County, Hudson County Correctional Center, CFG Health Systems (the contracted medical provider at the time), individuals in charge at those entities, and individual medical providers responsible for treating Mr. Bonilla egregiously failed to evaluate or treat deadly complications from cirrhosis, a chronic and life-threatening liver disease. There have been more than 17 deaths since 2013 at Hudson County Correctional Center, and multiple reports have detailed a long history of serious problems with medical care at the facility.
Mr. Bonilla's youngest daughter was eight years old when he died. He had a scheduled bond hearing in his immigration case but was never able to make his argument for release. Instead, he was hospitalized with severe internal bleeding and died two days later, just over two months after he'd been arrested by ICE and confined at Hudson County Correctional Center.
Mr. Bonilla, a long-time resident of Long Island, was the loving parent of four children whom he helped support by doing construction work. Prior to his detention, Mr. Bonilla received medical treatment in the community for complications of cirrhosis. Hudson County Correctional Center was aware that Mr. Bonilla had been diagnosed with serious medical conditions and had a history of prescribed medications to manage complications of cirrhosis. Mr. Bonilla had multiple interactions with medical staff at the Hudson County Correctional Center, including requesting additional medical care. Nevertheless, Defendants did not have a medical plan for him or provide evaluation or care for Mr. Bonilla's cirrhosis.
The lawsuit contains constitutional and state law claims seeking to hold Defendants accountable for Mr. Bonilla's untimely death, and to recover damages for his children.

Comic Bill Maher and actor Robert DeNiro openly date black women. Another white actor could be added to this category if his family wasn't against interracial romance. This man is one of the most powerful men in white Hollywood. He's worth a fortune. To avoid the wrath of his parents, he has always married white while sleeping black on the side. He has one criteria for black women: They have to be drop-dead gorgeous and if you meet that qualification, he goes out of his way to spoil you. Once, he went to a top modeling agency and asked to see the portfolios of their top black models. He leafed through photos, found someone he was attracted to and was later set up on a date. Although this affair lasted six months. He took her on a $100,000 European shopping spree on a private jet for her birthday. She still brags about this excursion. Despite his father's objections, oddly, the actor has dined with several black mistresses in the company of his father on many occasions. His father doesn't mind him dating black women, he just doesn't want him to get married. The black women who have been involved with him-continue to speak fondly of him and his generosity. Limos, private jets, sunken tub bubble baths with Dom and chocolate covered strawberries, shop to you drop sprees, private yachts, allowances, Black Amex cards, etc. A few were gifted with diamonds, homes and luxury automobiles. A few have come to the conclusion, 'He seems to be on a mission to spoil as many black women as he can in a lifetime.' We were recently informed that he is growing frustrated because he can't be himself but he also doesn't want to alienate his family. His wife has an inclination he fools around but she is not aware of his attraction to black women.
Hint: It's not Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks.
I have heard numerous complaints from black entertainers (not A-list) and black patrons, that they have a hard time getting into some of L.A.'s trendiest nightspots. Some of these clubs have a "black quota," and they employ African-American doormen to reject black patrons to protect themselves from racial discrimination suits. But, I recently learned, their is another element at play here. A white female celebrity has called a few of these clubs and openly complained about the number of blacks in attendance when she attends. She says, "being around too many blacks make me uncomfortable." If you don't exclude some of them, I will make sure, "my young white Hollywood friends," find another club to attend. I will call them all and ask them not to patronize you establishment. Club owners cave in to her demands because this celebrity and her friends bring notoriety to their clubs as well as good publicity. This white celebrity is often in the company of blacks despite the deep resentment she harbors and she talks about these same blacks like a dog behind their backs with her white friends. It's common for her to use racial epithets to describe her "so called black friends," when they're out of earshot.
Methinks: Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian (because it says she is often in the company of blacks and as Princess Zippy noted below, Kim only does black guys and is always around black men). That said Paris is sometimes around black guys too, hello, Suge Knight anyone?
Which celebutard whose racist language has recently been back in the news, thanks to the Internet, has developed a code word for her bigotry? She now refers to African-Americans as "Lolas."
A blind item in The New York Daily News asks, "Which celebutard whose racist language has recently been back in the news, thanks to the internet, has developed a code word for her bigotry? She now refers to African-Americans as 'Lolas'."
Methinks: Paris Hilton. She had a video of her making racist remarks surface recently, she is also the living definition of a celebutard.

The Eagle River Youth Coalition is committed to addressing the most critical needs of local youth and families to help create a safe, healthy community. We are fortunate to receive support from generous partners to help grow our youth prevention strategies and parent education efforts.
We would like to acknowledge the generosity of the 5th Judicial District and their charitable contributions program. The goal of this program is to provide assistance to nonprofits committed to preventing crimes and criminal activity, and to providing assistance to victims of crimes and criminal activity. The most interesting aspect of this program is that it aims to seek justice by linking offenders with financial commitments to local nonprofits, allocating fines from offenders to the tune of $20,000 year-to-date in our region of Eagle, Summit, Lake and Clear Creek counties.
Eagle River Youth Coalition has been able to utilize these funds to support safe driving initiatives, in-school substance use prevention programs for middle and high school youth, and skills-building opportunities for parents. Other local recipients of this program include Bright Future Foundation and Red Ribbon Project; partners of ours working diligently to support victims and undertake critical prevention initiatives. Zero administrative fees are retained by the district, so 100 percent of the offender fees go directly towards supporting local services.
Thank you to the 5th Judicial District for offering a program that so beautifully pairs critical community needs with relief opportunities. We look forward to many more years of strong partnership with the Eagle River Youth Coalition. Please learn more about the Eagle River Youth Coalition at eagleyouth.org or about the 5th Judicial District at DA5.us/programs.

Even though the big news of this week undoubtedly is represented by the one trillion session in London and the smaller than expected nudge from the gents at Kaiserstrasse I am going to wonkishly stay on the topic with respect to my latest long piece on the land of the rising sun and its economic woes. One issue which I dealt with was the skewed nature of Japan's growth path dependent on exports as well as the derivative issue of how to raise consumption in Japan or put more broadly; how to spur domestic demand in a sustainable way? My answer to this question is more or less implicit in the analysis linked above, but before we get to that let me present two alternative suggestions or, as it were, arguments. One in the form of a piece by the Economist fresh off of the newest print edition and one more wonkish and academic by economist and investment adviser Cesar Molinas.
The OECD predicts that public-sector debt will approach 200% of GDP in 2010, so the scope for further fiscal stimulus will be limited. Nor can Japan rely on exports for future growth; to the extent that it had enjoyed an export bubble, foreign demand will not return to its previous level. Japan needs to spur domestic spending.
One possible option, which the government is exploring, is to unlock the vast financial assets of the elderly. Japanese households' stash of savings is equivalent to more than five times their disposable income, the highest of any G7 economy, and three-fifths of it is held by people over 60 years old. Gifts to children are taxed like ordinary income, but if this tax were reduced, increased transfers could boost consumption and housing investment since the young have a much higher propensity to consume. In theory, this could give a much bigger boost to the economy than any likely fiscal stimulus.
Of course, one reason why the elderly are cautious about running down their assets is concern about the mismanaged pension system and future nursing care. Services for the elderly should be among Japan's fastest growing industries and create lots of new jobs, but they are held back by regulations which restrict competition and supply. Deregulation of services would not only help to improve the living standards of an ageing population, but by helping to unlock savings might also drag the economy out of deep recession.
The key to notice here is that the Economist talks about unlocking the savings of Japan and thus about making those large coffers of assets, primarily held by the mature parts of the population, work. What is Particularly interesting here is the idea to move money from the wealthy old generations to the young and further to implement tax incentives to optimize the effect from this. This sounds intuitively right and seems a sound policy proposal. But there is a big difference between transfers in kind (bequests) and investments (see Molinas' article).The Economist seems to be talking about cutting taxes for transfers in kind which would increase consumption in the sense that that the propensity to consume is higher amongst younger generations. In principal I am not in disagreement here although one has to wonder whether in fact those ever smaller younger generations really do have such a high propensity to consume. Basic ricardian equivalence and life cycle theory suggest that these transfers would be saved just as much by the young as by the old in the sense that as the young cohorts grow ever smaller relative to the burden they have to support through the tax system they also need to start saving earlier (and more) for their own retirement However, the most important point is that the Economist's suggestion effectively amounts to rapid dissaving and, in fact, even more rapid dissaving than if the elderly cohorts were to spend their wealth themselves. Note that this would effectively be dissaving and thus effectively not a good thing for Japan in the sense that it is not easy to see how Japan would replenish these savings. Moreover, as I have argued time and time again societies do not dissave they same way as their microagents do since this would effectively amount to a society/economy having an end point. Rather, they need to make those savings work.
Enter the article by Molinas.
Now, I could say a lot of interesting things about Molinas' piece and especially about how to operationalize demographics (and deflation) through the use of that illusive subjective discount rate. Essentially, this would allow us to approach the issue through the use of representative agent models and even though this may create a host of issues on its own and essentially be inappropriate, it means that we can start with a model well grounded in traditional neo-classical methodology. This may not be a virtue in itself, and for some not at all, but it is a place to start and an important one in the context of economic modelling.
It is important to note the distinction, albeit timid, with the Economist here.
Molinas' suggestion is consequently different in one key aspect. What Molinas suggests is that the eldery be more inclined to invest in the younger generations and that this this is pushed through e.g taxation on stashed savings. Basically, Molinas talks about mobilising the wealth and that this is invested in the (assumed) portfolio of profitable projects held by the younger cohorts. Like the Economist, Molinas talks about using taxation (or the lack thereof) as a weapon and actually my guess is that when Molinas talks about a more generous gift tax he is talking about the same thing as the Economist is.
Now,I am of course molding the arguments of the Economist and Molinas to fit my own agenda here but I still think that a clear message can be taken from these two pieces. Whether it be through transfers in kind or through investment Japan should attempt to channel the vast sum of wealth towards its younger generations in order to make the money work in stead of just sitting in deposits and under the mattress.
At this point, I am intrigued, very intrigued. Consequently and while these two contributions sound plausible they miss some crucial points. As for the Economist, I have already highlighted the fact that Japan is going to fight dissaving simply because they have to. This may sound rather unjust to simply wave off the argument like this. But we should also think about the fact that for Japan as an economy these savings are best mobilised if they are invested to earn a corresponding return . In short, we will see dissaving but it won't solve any of Japan's problems to transfer older cohorts' wealth to younger generations for them to spend.
Moving on to Molinas he goes for the capitalist solution as it were; go forth and invest in the Japanese entrepreneur! This is a very appealing proposal, but tell me something; where are these entrepreneurs again, how many are they and what is the capacity for the young generation to absorb all those savings with the aim of delivering a return that can help Japan generate the income it needs to increase domestic demand and subsequently rid itself of the dreaded deflation.
I am almost done now and in order to move forward on this it is important to realize one major point about the arguments presented above. They are both made in the context of a closed economy. Whether it is in the form of transfers in kind or investment flows both the Economist and Molinas argue within the boundaries of Japan moving money from the elder to the younger cohorts. In doing so however they miss, or neglect, the fact that ageing as a demographic process manifests itself through changes in the age structure of society and thus that the kind of transfer they are talking about are not viable simply because the mismatch between generations is too great (and will grow larger as we move forward). Moreover, and even though it would in principle be possible for Japan to do as proposed above, it would not be rational let along fruitful from the point of view of fighting the slump in domestic demand.
The crucial link to incorporate here is to allow Japan the possibility to trade with the rest of the world. Then I don't think it is implausible to imagine that Japan indeed will fight dissaving through investing its stock of savings, but that this has to be through a leakage. Quite simply, Japan can increase consumption by investing its wealth abroad for a higher return than at home as well as by maintaining a structural excess investment surplus towards the rest of world by letting domestic capex and production decisions respond to foreign in stead of domestic demand (at least on the margin). This finally means that the way Japan as an economy can fight off dissaving and attempt to battle deflation is to rely on the ability to keep a structural surplus towards the rest of the world.
Once we have established this point we can start to look at the real issue at hand here. What happens when everybody gets as old as Japan is now? Think global imbalances and the discussion we are having right at this moment about how to find a batch of economies with the ability to run a sustainable deficit to counter others' need to run a surplus. Basically, there are externalities at work here and essentially market failures. These are produced, in part, by ageing and since we know for sure that one country after the other will venture down Japan's road in terms of demographic structure we would be wise to give these points more than a scant thought as we move forward.
 Here we could of course also open the can of worms in the form of Japan's public debt and how, at least part, of those well earned savings need to be put aside in order to finance the deficit spending by the government which again is only set to worsen as Japan gets older (and on and on we go).
