Famous names, including Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Usher and Kim Kardashian all helped to raise $1m for Keys' Keep A Child Alive charity. The stars vowed to maintain their silence on the social networking site Twitter until the donations target had been reached for the Digital Life Sacrifice campaign.
Daybreak presenter Kate Garraway has launched a Christmas charity campaign through her discount website goodypass.com. A proportion of proceeds from gift purchases made on the site will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which works with sick children.

Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron helped to raise money for her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project by auctioning a date with herself in New York last night.


100% agree mowtowncowgirl. OP appears to be only looking for validation.
Is this a normal thing to do ?
None of us know for sure what we would do in this situation until we are faced with it. It's all well and fine to say "I would do ____" but none of knows. Kudo's to those that have stayed.
I've seen people take care of a spouse with Alzheimer's, I have a friend that has her 36 year old daughter with Down Syndrome still living at home happily and a friend who put her 25 year old son with Cerebral Palsey in a group home as he was just getting too big to take care off. Whatever decisions they made, they made with love and it works or it's works until it doesn't anymore.
And OP, don't be too hard on your friend's wife, she may have told you an easy answer instead of the real answer.
Geez all I asked was what others thought about this situation. And yes, I already have my opinion formed on this ; I am not looking for validation.
Wow there are some here on the forums who have serious anger issues ; why is it all of a sudden that some of you are turning this around and starting to insult me ?
To those who offered constructive comments , thank you very much. To the ones who turned this on me and started bashing me .... really ? If you don't have anything positive to offer then please keep your negative comments to yourselves.
Why would I make this up ?
Really if you don't have anything constructive to offer please stay quiet .
How many men have abandoned their partners when the sh!t hit the fan?
But I would like to know if opie is helping out his friend now in his care taking?
Papouille 008- I have been a nurse for almost two decades.
I have seen disability bring people closer or drive then apart.
It's awfully easy to be on the outside, looking in, and say what you are sure what you would or would not do, but you won't know until YOU are there.
Your friend could have changed how he treated his wife completely, he may have become abusive, this is more common than people think. I'm not saying he did, but you just don't know because you aren't there ALL the time.
I'm not saying it was a "good" thing that she left, but maybe she just couldn't cope and who am I, or you, to judge?
No one can stay awake 24/7, no one can care for someone else full time without a break.
If you have a support system that you could turn to if you were in your friends wife position, be thankful, because not everyone has that.
I'll tell you what, move in with your friend and take care of him, for at least three months, if you still feel his wife was wrong to leave him, get back to us.
Something tells me not to wait for that to happen.
Jeez, a few gals posted similar tales.
We women still love men.
Tough situation and hard to know for sure what any of us would do faced with it - and all the elements that accompany the situation.
Sure, I understand the marriage vows regarding "In sickness and in health" but marriage vows get broken all the time because the reality of them isn't always as simple as they seem when stated. It's all well and good to have the intention of sticking to them as both stand their healthy and strong but their are some situations where it's just too much and an endless pit of misery for all.
I have a friend who recently was diagnosed with cancer on his spine. Great guy, young family, three kids under 10, lovely family. He's a pretty up beat person. The operations, the cancer treatment, his restriction to a wheelchair, he knows a huge weight is currently on his wife's shoulders and he makes an effort to stay upbeat as much as he can, and not make it any harder on his young family than it has to be. I drove him into the rehab centre a couple of times and met others in similar situations adjusting to life (at least for the time being) in wheel chairs. Some were angry and aggressive, mad at the world, intimidating and don't get me wrong, I could see that they were also scared. I can see how much harder this mindset would be on marriages and families. What if they blamed the World for their unfortunate situation for years? What if their spouse and young children were subject to this treatment indefinitely? Is that level of abuse acceptable under the circumstances? Or if a spouse determined the aggression and anger were too much and walked away, who would be viewed as "at fault"? From the spouse's view, I imagine it could be justified as a safety concern, from the aggressors view, they'd likely consider that ole "In sickness and in health" vow as being walked away from. There's always two sides to a story and I get this man is your friend, but what goes on behind closed doors, is only known by those present.
When spouses leave "out of the blue with no warning", it's rarely an accurate account of events. With no warning you as an outsider saw, sure, I can go with that. With no warning or sign to him, nah, I'm not convinced of that.
There are a whack of people here who when a long term relationship ends, might view it initially as having been "out of the blue with no warning" but in time and with some hindsight, the warning flags were being waved franticly, it's just they weren't always seen.
[QUOTE]When she left he asked "how am I going to take care of myself, let alone a house and four cats" .... her answer was "you're going to have to find a way".
When someone has made the decision to go, it's really an easy one. Having stuck by him this long, having lived with the effects of his accident, having tried to find a way to help him, his spouse would have considered all these things in depth. You really believe that she didn't lay awake at night wondering how he'd manage? I don't believe that. I think she likely considered all these things for a long time, and stayed longer than she maybe wanted to, because she felt guilty about her decision.
She knew he'd lay this at her door once told and still she decided that her best option was to go. She gave him honesty, not false hope to fob him off. You have to respect her for that.
Just wondering if this is a normal thing to do ? I don't think that it is, as I would never even consider doing this.
No. You would like to believe you wouldn't. But until you a living that reality and with all the side issues that accompany it, you don't know for sure.
And to top it off she wants to stay friends ( I know what my answer would be if it was me ).
Meh. It's a common statement upon splitting. It translates as "I don't intend being a jerk about this split unless you are". It's often made by the party leaving and they mean well by it. I imagine it's hard to hear for anyone not wanting a split and likely feeling they wouldn't want to be friends with someone who drops them in the shyte from a great height.
It's interesting too to consider that your whole post is detailing his views about how hard it will be without his wife as a caregiver and not a word about how he loves her, is going to miss her or anything related to a relationship where he's fulfilling her needs for love, support. It's all one sided about how his new life following the accident depends on her for day to day care. I imagine that's a tough role for anyone if it's the sole role within the marriage.
Take your friend's comments with a pinch of salt. Chances are, if he was healthy and the marriage ended, you might have questioned what went wrong, if communication ended, if her needs were being met, if he was loving and supportive of her, if the relationship was one sided with one always giving and the other always taking. Don't be blinded just because he's in a wheelchair that all these other elements of a successful marriage suddenly become mute. Looking after someone 24x7 who behaves like a jerk isn't easy. If someone treats their partner like crap endlessly, and expects them to hang around based only on obligation, that's a tough life. Seems like if an abled bodied spouse made a relationship all about one person and their needs, most of us would think "Ya know, you treated her like total crap, what did you expect". The accident isn't a free pass for this to be okay.
Now I know that you're just making things up as you go along.
You only give info that makes the wife look bad....if you can't give all the pertinent information, then you shouldn't post.
but the so-called unconstructive comments ARE what others think about this situation.
and since your mind is already made up, anything else we can say is by definition 'non-constructive'.
this thread will now take on a life of its own until people get bored with it. so please stay quiet if you don't have anything entertaining to offer.
There are two sides to every story and I bet you what happened did not happen in a vacuum. I agree with what Waltt said 100 percent.
I am also sorry about what happened to you and your lady. It happens. A friend of mine's daughter is a lesbian and the interesting thing is that she has lost several girlfriends not to other women, but to the sausage farm. Also, someone I know was married, came out of the closet, was in a relationship with another woman for a bunch of years, and just recently decided to come to the other side.
So I believe that is more common with women to experiment and find men as well as women attractive. Also there those, like my friends daughter, that do not cross to the other side at all.
I agree. It changes things, and many folks aren't built for that. For most, ya don't Really know exactly how you'll feel until you're knee-deep in the situation.
I guess OP's situation calls for this: Should you stay with someone over the long-haul if you're not into them? For how long, if you're married? Combined with (and much of it instigated by) having to take care of them? The OP's friend's situation is going to Affect BOTH people individually on some level, and affect the relationship. It's easy to say wedding vows "...in sickness and in health...," but let's also be realistic. Say they didn't get married but lived together for umpteen years. Would that be better/worse? Make the injured guy say "Oh, that's cool. We never had wedding vows. Hey, just send me a Xmas card sometime... good luck in your search!" -- No. Not much of a difference.
If I was seriously injured and needed help, I wouldn't want my LTR live-in to be burdened by it. Apart from that, I wouldn't want to indefinitely be with her if she lost feelings about me. I wouldn't want her to bolt the second she started feeling that way, but I would expect a normal transition over time and mutual understanding, etc. And if I was in OP's friend's shoes, not only would I change (like anyone would in his situation) over time, but so would the Significant Other.
If we only allowed those who would want to be with & taking care of a disabled Significant Other Indefinitely to be married -- very few people would get married. And it'd be hard to tell which is which. Many would claim, but when the sh!t hits the fan, many of those wouldn't given enough time, and few would who thought they wouldn't.
I guess my feeling is as an individual who comes from a very long line of very very long term marriages.....In a perfect world, people would truly keep their commitments and not gripe and complain about it and do what they could to help the other in need.
My own parents - my dad in particular, in the last 2 years has suffered some health issues - not life threatening - thank goodness, but some stuff that kept him homebound for short periods of time.
My mom stood with him - went to every doctor's appointment, got prescriptions for him, and took care of him.....while I continued to help run the family business.....and yes went home to help mom with what I could do.....whether it be sitting with Dad while she went to the store or bank, or running errands because she was a afraid to leave Dad alone even for five minutes because he was on some pretty heavy pain killers at the time.
Leaving my dad NEVER entered my mother's mind. - ever. - and yes....I'm sure even she got frustrated, stressed out and tired - although she never complained. She was just grateful she was able to take care of him.
My mom even went on a business trip with dad not too long after a surgery he had....and he told anyone and everyone who was there if it hadn't been for mom, he wouldn't have been able to make the trip and he was mighty grateful to be there....and still here on this earth breathing, enjoying life, and still meeting people. He loves what he does for work and has never met a stranger in his life.
But then again....those are my parents....and yes, I am very proud of them. - They come from the generation that sticks things out until the end. My parents have worked hard, put themselves through college, have done very well for themselves, helped ME get through college, and now I have the privilege to help run a very successful family business. Sure, they had their hard times, but they got through it and are still together.
I did not live within the walls of the OP's friend....there are many couples out here of all ages who can not deal with the face of adversity. In that case....it's better to be on your own than to deal with a bitter and resentful spouse due to an illness.....It just goes to show how people's true colors come out.
In spite of the OP's friend being disabled with 4 cats....he is truly better off without her. If he can't take care of the cats, he can place in animal shelter for adoption. He can find other choices and options for his care. - Sure, he may have to pay for it, but it's better than being belittled by someone who doesn't want to be there.
Sure....it's always great to have good times and the fun times, but your character is always defined within the face of adversity.
she didn't want to be married anymore and wanted to have fun.
OP don't get bent out of shape because of the responses you're getting. You asked if her leaving was normal people answered that apparently it is, many folks here have been on the wrong side of a bad situation. We all hope that we will behave in an exemplary manner in the face of trying times, but the fact is a crisis can exacerbate an already sh1tty situation. Your friend assumes he would have stuck around and played nurse, but until you have had to bathe someone and help them use the toilet you have no idea how you will react.
You still haven't told us the length of the marriage, whether they had kids and how happy they were prior to his injuries or for that matter how long his illness has lasted. He worried more about keeping house and feeding cats, not that the love of his life had left.
People walk out every day, because they meet someone new, or don't want to grow up, work hard or raise kids. Her excuse is no worse than most.
We do like you, Mr. Tiffalation.
You had me with the Love Bus....but the hearts and flowers....well...they just touch my romantic soul!
But I have to know....are you creating these...or are you copy and pasting?
some of us love some men. Fishing in somewhat murky ponds does not get a great catch I am afraid.

So excited to share a progress report on my home remodel. September has been an incredibly busy month with lots of little details of the house finally coming together. It looks like we'll be moving back in next month and I can hardly wait. As thrilled as I am with making a larger master bedroom and creating the new staircase and opening up the kitchen, the 4 bathrooms that we created from scratch are delighting me the most right now. After a lot of bathroom shower remodeling ideas, I decided on this round tub and I'm glad I did. I'm so looking forward to soaking in it after our move.
A quick shot of the deck – which is almost finished – plus a look at our new staircase which is a vast improvement from the crazy one that was right in the middle of the living room before.
Thanks for following along with me on my home remodel. I can't believe it's been nearly a full year of work on this house!

Requests to use the small grants mechanism or emergency facility for HRDs should be addressed to yourdelegation or to the EIDHR team providing us with some information about the particular case to assist: name of the defender(s), background on the case(s), amount of grant requested, and for what purpose.

Kim Kardashian had to evacuate her Hidden Hills, California, mansion after the wildfires got close on Friday.
And the 38-year-old siren was quick to give an update on how she was doing.
Meanwhile, her former step parent Caitlyn Jenner saw her Malibu mansion burn to the ground.
'I heard the flames have hit our property at our home in Hidden Hills but now are more contained and have stopped at the moment,' Kim wrote Friday, just a day after the forest fires were sparked.
'It doesn't seems like it is getting worse right now, I just pray the winds are in our favor. God is good. I'm just praying everyone is safe,' her message continued.
Before Kim's update flames reportedly breached her estate, according to TMZ.
The night prior, Kim and her three children were given just one hour to evacuate her home as wildfires swept through Southern California.


"Collecting DNA from the whole population and every visitor to Britain would be an extraordinarily expensive and ineffective way to tackle crime. The recent massive expansion of the Database has not increased the likelihood of solving crimes, because so many people being added to it are not criminals".
However, GeneWatch supported the judge's concerns about the unfairness of the current system, which allows DNA, fingerprints and police records to be kept permanently from anyone arrested for any recordable offence in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, even if they are not charged or are acquitted (1).
"DNA is a powerful tool to track individuals and their families. The database is open to abuse by governments or by anyone - including criminals - who might infiltrate the system. Existing legislation has already gone too far. Time limits on how long DNA samples and police records can be kept should be reintroduced. A massive expansion of the database has already taken place by stealth: people in Britain should have a say about who should be on the database and how long their records should be kept."

| How-To - Interior and Electrical
The Rywire Touch
Functional race wiring meets slick customization
RodrezWriter
(This story is something I chased down at Rywire's a few years ago, but it was lost during a website transition for the Super Street Network. Browsing through an old back-up drive over the weekend, I came across the info and images and once you see what he's done, I think you'll agree that it's every bit as relevant now as it was a few years back. A quick note, this car seemed to be put on hold for quite some time and recently resurfaced on the Evasive Motorsports social media pages and looks incredible. I tried to contact the owners in an attempt to get a full story on the finished product, but they weren't interested. With that said, enjoy - Ed.)
When it comes to motorsport electronics, Ryan Basseri of Rywire has seen and done it all. From basic tucked wiring harnesses for the show-car crowd to one-off, mil-spec harnesses for Motec-equipped racecars, and even complete front-to-back wiring systems for competitive trophy trucks. After being approached by AKH Trading, Inc., to properly wire their RSX track car, Basseri came up with a unique idea to build something that would consolidate crucial elements, yet remain completely driver and pit crew friendly.
Rather than relying on fuses, Basseri chose to incorporate push/pull circuit breakers for their reliability and assistance in pinpointing potential issues using a manual reset function. When and if something goes awry, the push/pull switch will turn white when popped, alerting the driver. If it's something minor, he can reset immediately while remaining on track. If it's something potentially catastrophic, he'll know to get off track for the sake of safety for both himself and the car. In order for these to be driver friendly, they needed to be mounted within arms reach. Additionally, Basseri's set up relies on a bevy of relays, a number of switches for basic function, and he intended for all of this to be easily installed and removed time and time again, without complications.
Being that the car's audio and temperature control units were already removed and replaced by custom carbon fiber block-off plates, Basseri decided to use the empty space to house the necessary components. He carefully measured the dimensions of the opening, noting it's unique shape, width and depth, and sent those measurements to Jared Seganti of Seganti Metal Works in San Diego, Calif. Seganti fabricated an aluminum box that includes a front faceplate to match the factory RSX dash opening perfectly. Removal is as simple as twist-releasing the Rywire-built mil-spec harness under the console, removing three fasteners, and simply pulling the box out of the dash for inspection, repair or replacement. It's a clever concept and the fit and finish, thanks to Seganti, is factory-like.
An overview of the box and its components includes: A) Flasher relay; B) Main power bulkhead stud; C) Mil-spec accessory connector; D) Assorted relays for fuel pump, fan, ECU, etc.; E) Push/pull circuit breakers; and F) Switches for various functions that were later labeled for ease of use.
Here, Basseri unfastens the mil-spec harness that only takes a moment to disengage and can be done by feel, rather than having eyes on the actual connector.
A closer look at the mil-spec harness that connects to the back of the custom console box
The entire unit quickly slides into place and can be mounted in mere seconds.
Built for competitive use, this RSX's power source is an ITB-equipped, all-motor setup, shown here with an ITG filter assembly.
An EP3 electronic power-steering swap replaces the DC5's original unit.

The event was split into four discussion groups focusing on the service delivery areas of � Education, Community Health and Care, Environment and Community Services, and Culture and Leisure Services.
Community Councils were restricted and prevented from attending the groups that related to Education, Community Health and Care.
We are aware of at least two community councils who specifically requested permission to attend these particular groups, and were denied access by ERC.
The irony is that ERC set up a specific email addy for replies at 'Listening'.
HOWEVER the 'listening' council did what they do best on the day. They did not listen. A member of a local group, who is also an ousted chair of a community council attempted to sit in on the Health group and was ejected from there by council staff, as they claimed he had no permission to join that particular group.
Yet the chair of Giffnock Community Council, Savio D'Souza was permitted to sit on the Health group as he had been provided with special permission.
Community Councillors were banned from this group by ERC, another community group representative was removed on the evening, yet Savio D'Souza has yet again received special privileges and was permitted to sit in on the group discussions.
A person who has been proven to be a repetitive rule breaker when it comes to community councils, and has a past record of being investigated by the council regarding non compliance with land lord legislation and has been arrested by the police on warrant.
Restriction on democratic rights and special privileges to one. Would this ring any bells with historians out there.
Mr D.Souza preparing to offer 'Massages' to punters at the Giffnock Xmas Fair 2014.
Is ERC hemorrhaging money ?
WHILST the council are looking to bridge a �20 million pound budget gap over the next three years, and some of the plans are to lay of staff and close the only council care home, have they failed to stop the basic and unnecessary flow of cash out of the Eastwood Park doors.
Just how did they end up in this mess, did they fail to take care of the pennies which has resulted in the loss of the pounds, which is now leading to the loss of front line staff.
Was it necessary or indeed prudent to gift thousands of pounds to voluntary groups looking to improve Rouken Glen Park, only to find that one group have now disbanded, due to what they claim are the actions of ERC and the other has just disappeared, and all the work that was carried out is now going to waste.
Was is prudent to gift thousands of pounds to a community council, only to find that their accounts did not appear to be wholly accurate and show the distribution of the cash.
Was is wise to gift thousands of pounds to a Gala project, only to find that accounts were not provided.
There are numerous examples of monies being gifted to local groups and never being accounted for or the expenditure fully explained.
Is it really necessary for the Convenor of Community engagement to have access to a fund and permitted to take decisions without the approval of the cabinet as to where she gifts the cash.
Is it prudent that the Provost also has a fund and he to can gift cash as and when he pleases with out the approval of the cabinet.
A Tea dance at a cost of how much, corporate tables at charity functions which start at �500 and go up to �4,000 per table, attended by invited councillors to accompany the Provost for a full meal and drinks throughout the evening, paid for by the Provost.
Housing Benefits overpayments of �15.624.24 written off.
Sports equipment valued at �20,000 gifted to an Pacific island, instead of being sold off.
�40,000 put into a Town Centre Resilience fund for such things as Hanging Baskets and fence painting in Thornliebank.
�120,000 put into a Town Centre Resilience fund for Barrhead in relation to the same type of projects.
Is this council top heavy with overpaid chiefs.
A current advertisement for a Head of Education in East Ayrshire Council shows the salary to be �85,734. Whilst ERC are recorded in 2011 as paying their Head of Education �108,507.
ERC have a Chief Executive and a Deputy at a cost of �135,096 and �116,695 which many other councils only have a Head and no requirement for a deputy.
This council have a large legal team
2 trainees
2 solicitors
1 solicitor (Environment Dept)
3.8 FTE senior solicitors
1 principle solicitor
1 Chief Officer (Legal and Procurement)
The last senior solicitor was on a salary of �113,686
WITH a team of this strength why has the council required to spend and increasing amount of cash on external legal advice, year on year.
THE current administration have been in situ for the past three years and to date they have spent 1/2 million pounds on EXTERNAL legal advice.
It would appear that Jim Fletcher and his band do not understand the meaning of the proverb "look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves"
Meanwhile residential care homes face the prospect of closure, schools will be without police officers and teachers, at least two community wardens will be looking for new jobs.
In addition the cabinet were asked in September 2014 to note a shortfall - in our language 'an overspend' of �357,000
The only exception is that the PR section appears to have recruited yet another member of staff. (Newsline is unable to confirm this as Louisa Mahon, Head of the PR section has refused to converse with us)
How does East Renfrewshire fair with regards to the accuracy of crime recording
THERE has been recent debate concerning the accuracy of crime statistics in England and Wales.
NEWSLINE is aware that during a recent spate of vandalism undertaken on vehicles in the Stamperland area of East Renfrewshire there was concern over the recording of these by the police.
Seven cars in two adjacent streets had their wing mirrors broken off. Many were electric and cost on average �300 per mirror to replace, and the cost of the damage ran into thousands of pounds.
However the costs do not appear on police statistics, it is only the crime and the numbers of crimes.
NEWSLINE would have to suggest that on this occasion recording all of the crime on one crime report, whilst still recording them prevents them appearing on the national crime statistics for East Renfrewshire as seven vandalisms, the national crime statistics shows this as one vandalism, a fact well known to senior officers who would have been responsible for directing that all seven be recorded on one crime report.
IN addition recent activity at Clarkston Toll has gone unrecorded.
DURING the recent referendum campaign this sign was attached to the advertising billboard at Clarkston Toll.
A complaint was made to JCDecaux the advertising company and they sent a team of workers out who uncoupled the sign and removed it.
A complaint was made to the police at Giffnock, however at a recent Community Council meeting the community police sergeant stated that his officers had contacted the advertisers and as they said no damage had been caused, there was no act of vandalism and no report / record / investigation would take place.
Despite JCDecaux requiring to pay for staff to attend and remove the item, despite members of the public being exposed to serious injury or death should the heavy wooden structure have fallen onto any passing pedestrian etc.
NEWSLINE is aware that the placing of this structure could have been treated as a Breach of the Peace by the police and recorded as such and investigated.
In Scotland there is also an offence of Culpable and Reckless Conduct and is a Common Law offence under Scots Law.
The offence has no specific definition but deals with acts involving a criminal degree of recklessness which cause injury to other persons or create a risk of such injury.
Yet East Renfrewshire Police would appear to have chosen to ignore this matter completely.
Has a Cllr 'handed a golden ticket to terrorists' by posting pictures of his security pass on Facebook?
What cost the referendum ?
Parking misery continues in Clarkston.

Durbin: Republicans Have Beaten the Filibuster to the Point it is Hardly Recognizable
Durbin reiterates his support for reform of the filibuster, including the use of the 'talking filibuster'
WASHINGTON – In a speech on the Senate floor, U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) today once again voiced his support for reform of the filibuster. Durbin argued that as filibusters and threatened filibusters have increased in recent decades—especially under Senator McConnell's leadership—real debate and bipartisan cooperation has plummeted. From 1917 to 1970, the Senate took 49 votes to break filibusters – fewer than one each year. Since 2010, it has taken the Senate, on average, more than 80 votes each year to end filibusters.
"They [Republicans] have beaten the old filibuster to the point where it is hardly recognizable and it is now regular order of business in the United States Senate. And that's why many of us, frustrated with having worked so hard to come here, wanting to do the best we can to represent the people who sent us here, are so frustrated by the current state of procedure," Durbin said. "And for Senator McConnell and other Republicans to come to the floor and plead for hanging on to this tradition is actually pleading for the Senate to continue to do less and less each year. There are those of us now in control of the majority side… who really believe there is much more to be done in the Senate. The American people expect us to respond."
Yesterday, Durbin voiced his support for reform of the filibuster and called on his colleagues to join him in this effort.

18.06.2019 - "I resolutely choose to break the spiral of anger"
COLUMN | Chokri Ben Chikha
Dear Flemish voter,
My performance in De Afspraak on May 28 caused a lot of controversy - especially when Chris Janssens (Vlaams Belang) made his appearance in the same programme, about a week later. I would have claimed that 800,000 Flemish voters are racist, as they decided to vote for his party. Consequently, he threatened to reduce the grants of our theater company Action Zoo with 18 percent. I felt encouraged by the fact that a far-right politician showed such a profound and passionate interest in art. It's touching that a leading figure considers the power of art to be this strong.
After the broadcast, I was fortunately given some pats on the back as well, but the hate actions and personal threats clearly dominated. It was painful to realize how the majority overlooked all nuance: what I had actually said was that 18% of the Flemish voters 'approve of a racist discourse' and are probably aware of this. I did not accuse anyone of racism, but I did note that certain parties, through their discriminatory statements, tend to fuel xenophobic sentiments. The fact that they go against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights seems to escape a part of the Flemish population.
Flanders' grief
Yet I decide to be neither angry nor indignant today. I resolutely choose to break the spiral of anger. For it is not only anger that controls us. Flanders is mourning. We, Flemings, are grieving. We live our lives in a period of loss. And it is a challenge to be a worthy loser.
"The recent election results reflect Flanders' grief"
The recent election results reflect Flanders' grief. Vlaams Belang in particular is reaping the benefits of it. We, Flemings, feel sad about the fatal consequences of "promoted diversity" and "imposed multiculturalism" in our region, as Chris Janssens likes to refer to the trends. We grieve for the downfall of ancient Flanders, which had unity, individuality and unity as its greatest assets. For the long gone pride of the Flemish Lion. For the loss of real solidarity among socialists, of Christian charity among Christian Democrats, of the real fight for freedom among iberals. And, of course, for having lost the elections. I truly understand where the pain originates.
The richest inhabitant
I understand Flanders' pain so well that I take my role as Flemish grief mentor more seriously than ever before. For fifteen years I have been investigating who or what 'the Fleming' is and how I comply with that image (or don't). Since De Leeuw van Vlaanderen (2003) and Onze Lieve Vrouw van Vlaanderen (2005) I have been analysing the identity crisis in our region - by acknowledging our suffering and then easing it. Today, I want to invigorate this mission. I want to lead the grief of Flanders in the right direction and involve every (potential) inhabitant in doing so. From the richest and most powerful one to the most disenfranchised, the illegal, unknown refugee.
"De onbekende vluchteling belichaamt het nostalgische verlangen naar de cultuur die hij of zij moest achterlaten"
As far as I'm concerned, the latter symbolizes grief. Like no other, the unknown refugee embodies the nostalgic longing for a culture left behind. A feeling that the Fleming is all too familiar. Just think of the 19th-century poverty flight to Wallonia and the United States or of the Flemish Jews who had to escape the German occupation. A feeling that lives on today in spiritual escapism to ancient Flanders, far away from the multicultural reality.
E40 in Jabbeke
Starting today, we will go through a process of mourning together in order to achieve a social catharsis. I would like to guide you as a grief mentor and to make use of a remarkable incident: the death of the unknown refugee who was hit by a car on the E40 in Jabbeke last year. He was hiding in the woods, as he was hunted by the police and their dogs, and crossed the highway panic. He left his culture, his identity and finally also his life behind for a better future. He was a worthy loser.
Defeated by the feeling of emptiness he leaves behind, but thankful that he has been spared further suffering, we inform you of the death of the Unknown Refugee. He died on his way to a safe haven.
We invite you to commemorate his young life on Wednesday 3 July. The ceremony, a funeral with music and dance performances, takes place at 4 p.m. in the church Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Hemelvaart in Beauvoorde, a stone's throw from the highway. He loved white roses.
After the ceremony, you can give your condolescenses to his relatives.
I hope to meet you there. To find the unknown refugee in ourselves. To practice being worthy losers.

House Approves Paid Family Leave for Federal Employees
Press Release July 12, 2019
Washington D.C. – Federal employees could use paid leave to care for new children or ill family members under legislation approved today by the House and endorsed by the National Treasury Employees Union.
The Federal Employee Paid Leave Act was part of the defense bill that passed the House Friday.
"Federal employees are just like everyone else and when a family member is in need, they should be able to afford to take time off to care for them," said NTEU National President Tony Reardon. "We commend Rep. Carolyn Maloney and many others who have fought long and hard to secure this important benefit for the federal workforce, and we will continue to encourage Congress to pass it into law."
Federal employees would be eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a new child, including foster children or adopted children, or anyone in the family with a serious health condition.
"When NTEU first started working on this legislation many years ago, our goal was to make the federal government a leader on the issue of paid family leave. But now in 2019, many private sector companies are already providing this benefit and the federal government will have to keep up in order to compete for skilled workers," Reardon said.
A paid family leave policy would improve recruitment and retention in the federal workforce and make the government a more pro-family work environment.
"We've all been there, whether it's a newborn or an elderly parent. Our families need us and we shouldn't have to choose between them or our paychecks," Reardon said.
NTEU represents 150,000 employees at 33 federal agencies and departments.

The Journey of T.D. Jakes


Neil Sterritt has made major contributions to British Columbia and to First Nations over many years, working tirelessly and selflessly both to strengthen his people's proven ability to embrace opportunities while holding onto traditional values. He has brought all British Columbians together on the common ground of hope and possibility.
Born in Gitxsan territory, Mr. Sterritt left the northwest as a young man to study and work in the minerals exploration industry throughout Canada, overseas and in the USA. He returned in the early 1970s as manager of the 'Ksan Historic Village and Museum, and served as president of the Gitxsan-Wet'suwet'en Tribal Council. While president, he was involved on behalf of his people in the National Aboriginal Constitutional Conferences during the 1980s and the Charlottetown Constitutional Conference in the early 1990s.
Mr. Sterritt served as Director of Land Claims and Self-government with the Assembly of First Nations in Ottawa. He worked with more than 100 elders in identifying and mapping the traditional Gitxsan territories, an effort that was the basis of the court action that became known as the Delgamuukw case.
For many years, Mr. Sterritt led governance workshops aimed at assisting Aboriginal communities make the difficult transition from paternalism to self-reliance. In this work with most of the B.C. and Yukon First Nations, he has explained legal and fiduciary responsibilities in the context of First Nations' culture and traditions.
A leader in land claims and other First Nations issues over many years, Mr. Sterritt is well known outside of Canada, having been invited to lecture, advise and tour aboriginal communities in Australia, East Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Thailand and the United States.
This year, Mr. Sterritt was awarded the BC Book Prizes Roderick Haig-Brown Award for his book Mapping My Way Home: A Gitxsan History and an honorary doctorate of laws from the University of Victoria.
