Scholarships for military spouses abound if the seeker knows where to look at to apply. Many husbands and wives of our Armed Forces give up their own pursuit of educational goals in order to support their partners as they move about the country and build their own careers. These family members are as much participants in the sacrifices for our country as their military husbands and wives. These husbands and wives often seek schooling opportunities if an assignment in one place appears to be a long tenured one. But often military families face low pay and cannot afford to face high repayment loans, so scholarships for military spouses are needed to pave the way for degree aspirations.
Listen to these rather depressing statistics. Armed Forces husbands and wives make one to two dollars less per hours than civilian spouses, usually because of the lack of experience or education. Two thirds of all Armed Forces husbands and wives felt that military life adversely affected their ability to get better employment positions. Twenty five percent of all Marine spouses are unemployed much of that reality do the fact of not being trained for marketable careers. And sadly, army spouses are more than three time likely to be unemployed than civilian husbands and wives. Many of these figures are due to very young soldiers marrying right out of high school and many of the husbands and wives left on base are only high school graduates. Certainly no American can deny these brave patriots scholarships for military husbands and wives with any integrity.
Spouses who wives or husbands are or have been connected with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are eligible for tuition gifts from the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association. These gifts are for family members already enrolled in college and the focus is on engineering, mathematics, physics and communications students. The Women's Army Corps Veterans Association offers scholarships for military spouses whose wives have been or are in the army now. Selection is based on academic achievement, leadership expressed through community involvement, biographical sketch and recommendations. The Anchor Scholarship Foundation offers scholarships for military husbands and wives who want to begin his or her bachelor's degree at an accredited four year college or university. Financial need is one of the criteria for this gift.
The United States Air Force Aid Society provides partial tuition assistance for spouses of active duty airmen or officers. Husband and wives will have had to accompany their spouse to overseas locations and will be attending courses in foreign countries. This program provides tuition assistance at a rate of 50% of unmet tuition charge per course up to fifteen hundred dollars per year. The desire of the Air Force Aid Society is to provide help for spouses who want to earn degrees that will increase occupational opportunities for the spouses of active duty airmen. Scholarships for military spouses may be available for all the branches of Armed Forces through each branch's aid representatives.
While not one of the formal scholarships for military spouses, the Military Spouse Career Advancement Account is mean to help Armed Forces husbands and wives to gain credentials in high growth vocational fields. The CAA, as it is called, is limited to seventeen bases at the moment, but is good for up to six thousand dollars in educational expenses over a two year period. The Dependents' Educational Assistance program is also set up to provide up to forty five months of educational benefits for family members of certain veterans. These benefits are for spouses of service members who have died in action, are totally disabled, missing in action or detained behind enemy lines. Check with the Veterans administration for the details on these programs.
Some of the most copious sources of scholarships for military spouses may be the many organizations and non-profits around our Armed Forces bases across the country. Many businesses are extremely dependent upon the financial opportunities that a large base provides and are eager to maintain excellent relationships with the base. Service clubs such as Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions, Elks and others as well as businesses and schools may be excellent sources for scholarships for military spouses. Another source would be churches in and around the base area that may offer yearly gifts to some of their families who need educational assistance. There is a great deal of money that is available for the husbands and wives of our many soldiers, marines and airmen as well as naval personnel. Finding the sources will take a great deal of thorough investigation and not taking "no" for an answer. If you are in the military now, thank you so very much for your service to our country.
Seeking out nursing scholarships grants is important for anyone who wishes to enter this rewarding and in demand profession without incurring significant debt. And since trained nurses are so few in number when compared to the large demand, there are now many resources that are available for educational funding. Such resources could include federal and state funded grants, scholarships, and internships. Disadvantaged students may be eligible for funding in a number of health science related careers such as traditional nursing, dental hygiene, social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, veterinary medicine, and a number of other specialty areas in the medical field. Some programs offer payment for tuition and other educational expenses so long as the student agrees to work for a specified period of time for the providing organization upon graduation.
Nurses who study full time and attend accredited institutions may have certain advantages when applying for this type of funding. If a graduate enters the medical education field, some schools may be willing to help faculty members retire educational debt. While programs will most likely vary from state to state, a number of nursing scholarships grants may be available from the state that the student resides in. It is not only nurses that are in high demand, trained faculty for medical schools are also experiencing a shortage. As more and more students are seeking degrees in this field, the need for effective teachers and quality training facilities is growing.
There are a number of nursing scholarships grants that are available for minority students. Anyone in search of funding that will be used to pursue a career in this field should check with state and local agencies to see if there are any suitable sources that can help to defray the cost of a medical education. It is also possible to find a scholarship or grant within a specific specialty area. Organizations that offer funding opportunities may include the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, the Emergency Nurses Foundation Association, and the Gerontological Society of America. Loans that will be used for educational purposes are also available, but nursing scholarships grants are generally more sought after since these funding sources do not need to be paid back after graduation. In some cases, a student may find that their school has automatically considered them for a grant or scholarship as part of the registration process. Potential nursing students should fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, of FAFSA. This step is required by most schools as students complete registration. While filling out a FAFSA can be a lengthy and complicated process, it can yield some very significant results. Information on the various scholarships and grants that are available can be found on the FAFSA web site.
Obtaining nursing scholarships grants can be challenging due to the great competition for financial aid. Anything that a potential student can do to make their application stand out from others can make a big difference. Examples of community service will certainly give a good impression. Any significant extra curricular activity that took place before applying to an accredited nursing school should be listed as well. Schools and officials who make funding decisions tend to prefer students who can demonstrate a variety of interests as well as a concern for others. Adults in the community may also be willing to write letters of recommendation to for promising students.
Another important element of obtaining nursing scholarships grants is to draft an application essay that is both convincing and well done. Those who make decisions regarding financial awards must read an endless number of theses essays. A skilled and well written approach can propel a candidate to the top of the list very quickly. It is also important not to digress from the original essay question. While it can be important to sound professional, an applicant should also remember to be true to themselves. Clear writing that is grammatically correct will be far more effective than flowery communication. With research and dedication, it is possible to find funding for a medical education.


You must have have heard about the spat that went on between the Dekker family and the people and powers-that-be in the Netherlands? 14–year old Laura Dekker wanted to sail around the world single handed. The child-welfare authorities took legal action to prevent her voyage and accused her father of being irresponsible and publicity hungry. She was placed under shared state guardianship by a Dutch court, which stopped her attempt to start her world voyage when she was 14, saying it was unsafe and would damage her development.
She left St. Maarten on 20th January 2011 and docked back in the same harbour a year and a day later on the 21st January, 2012 to a heroine's welcome.
Laura now holds the record for the youngest person to circumnavigate the world – all 43,450 km of it. The previous record holder was Jessica Watson, an Australian, who sailed around the world, arriving in Sydney in May 2010, three days before her 17th birthday. Laura turns 17 in September. Prior to Jessica Watson's record it was 17-year-old Michael Perham, from England who circumnavigated the world in 2009 who held the record. However, Guinness World Records will not recognise any of these achievements saying they do not want to encourage minors to take on dangerous challenges.
A record that Guiness would recognise, however, was that of 26-year old Andrew Brown who has just broken the record for rowing solo across the Atlantic. Brown has been a keen sailor since childhood but hadn't done much rowing before deciding to take part in the Talisker Atlantic Challenge, billed as the world's toughest rowing race. He took part in the race on behalf of two UK children's charities.
He took 40 days 9 hours and 44 minutes to cross the finish line, breaking the previous record for the Atlantic solo crossing by Frenchman Emmanuel Coindre in 2004, by well over 2 days.
Let me remind you that rowing across the Atlantic is no mean feat. Organisers say that more people have travelled to space than have rowed across the Atlantic.
Seventeen crews started the race on 5 December but eight pulled out because of problems including poor weather and sea-sickness. One team was disqualified after calling for help – the rules of the race ban external assistance, and yet another team had to be rescued after their boat was capsized by a big wave just before Christmas. Brown arrived in Port St Charles, Barbados only 30 minutes after the two man rowing team Toby Iles and Nick Moore.
He becomes the 26th person from the UK to have rowed solo across the Atlantic.
Sarah Outen hopes to successfully row it at the end of her London2London epic journey which begins again in April.

We've created a new forum at http://foldingforum.org/ . The plan is for this one to be a temporary forum, until we can get the old one back up. However, we'll keep it around to serve as a temporary forum when the main one goes down. The only caveat is that you'll have to re-register (sorry). However, the FAH team and Mods are already set up there, so we're ready to welcome your posts. Sorry to take so long with this — many people (esp Bruce, Py, WW and some other mods and FAH team members) have been working hard behind the scenes to make this all possible.
I think we have a plan which will work long term. This backup forum will always be there, and if needed, it could become the primary forum if we can't get the main one back up.

When Charles Reznikoff was a guest on Susan Howe's radio show
Recordings of Susan Howe's WBAI (NY)/Pacifica Radio programs are available at PennSound as the result of a collaboration with the Archive for New Poetry at the University of California, San Diego. Our digital copies were made from recordings housed at the archive. On May 13, 1975, Howe went on the air with her guest Charles Reznikoff and the outcome of this session was a show titled "Poems for the Jewish Holidays." As of today, thanks to the work of Anna Zalokostas, PennSound is making this recording available in segments, one segment each for a poem or passage Reznikoff read, following Howe's introduction.

ELECTRONIC PEDAGOGY: Magazine story published in 2001 about my use of e-media in teaching. "Postmodern poets focused on the process of their poetry, rather than on what the words in their poems actually said. The purpose was to make poetry and language new again. There's no better way to describe Filreis' teaching style. He uses technology to free class time for discussion, which to Filreis is more important than the course material itself. The point is to develop his students' ability to think critically, not to have memorized every last fact about Gertrude Stein. And yet, he said, through that active engagement with the material, students end up remembering more of the content."
ASHBERY PERFORMS STEVENS: In October of 1989, John Ashbery went to St. John's the Divine Cathedral in New York to be part of the induction of Wallace Stevens at the Poets' Corner. There was a vespers service and Ashbery read six sections of Stevens's "An Ordinary Evening in New Haven." Imagine that--that poem read at a vespers service! Anyway, I certainly don't know of another recording of Ashbery performing Stevens. Stevens was a fairly bad reader of his own poems. Ashbery is deemed by many to be an indifferent reader of his poems. (I don't agree, but understand the point.) But here, reading Stevens, Ashbery is marvelous. Here is a 7-minute recording of sections 3, 5, 12, 17, 18 and 30 of the Stevens poem that comes closest to real serial writing (seriality at the level of the section, anyway).

Black Ops II would be the fifth Xbox 360 Call of Duty game playable on Xbox One.
Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the most-requested game for the Xbox One's backwards compatibility program through the Xbox Feedback site. It has more than 207,000 community votes, far outpacing the No. 2 game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which has 170,000-plus votes.
Fans may be happy to learn that Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said he "really want[s]" Black Ops II to come to Xbox One via backwards compatibility.
"Please don't take my lack of response on [Black Ops II] as a lack of caring. I really want to see this come to [backwards compatibility]," he said to a fan on Twitter.
The original Black Ops is already in the backwards compatibility catalog, alongside other Xbox 360 Call of Duty games like Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 3, and Call of Duty: World at War.
January has already been a strong month for the backwards compatibility catalog in terms of volume and quality. Microsoft has added 10 games to the program this month, including Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, Mega Man 9, and Mega Man 10.
You can see a list of the 300-plus backwards compatibility games here.
In other backwards compatibility news, Spencer clarified on Twitter that Project Scorpio's backwards compatibility program will work exactly as it does on Xbox One, featuring the same slate of games. Microsoft confirmed in November 2016 that Scorpio, a new, more powerful Xbox console, will play Xbox 360 games.

Concept Corner: Avantasia The Metal Opera
I've been playing coy long enough. I covered Operation: mindcrime and called it one of the greatest metal concept albums ever. I even covered one of Ayreon's albums, with just a mention of its long supposed rival metal project. That's right, today we cover the other biggest power metal collaboration project, Avantasia.
Concept Corner: Avantasia - The Metal Opera
Avantasia is a project created by Tobias Sammet, the lead singer and songwriter of Edguy, a German power metal band. Avantasia released its first album, The Metal Opera in 2001. This and the next album, The Metal Opera Part II share an explicit story, while subsequent releases either had a much more subtle story or none at all. Like Ayreon, this project collects singers and musicians from across the metal genre, though Avantasia has a few distinctions from Ayreon in that department. Lucassen's project, at least in the beginning, tended to feature less well-known musicians, which is commendable for finding more obscure talent. Avantasia took a different route, finding the all-stars of the metal community right out of the gate, even bringing Michael Kiske, legendary singer for the band Helloween, back into his first metal project since leaving Helloween. For a Helloween fan, this was the Holy Grail.
The story is communicated almost entirely through liner notes in the lyric book, and let me tell you, it's a doozy! There are a couple instrumentals with light speaking parts and there's plenty to gather from the music, but I wasn't aware of the whole story until I recently knuckled down and read all of it. You'll understand why in a bit.
Our story begins in the year 1602, in the city of Mainz, Germany. We join Gabriel Laymann, a Dominican monk deeply involved in the witch trials of that era. After sentencing one women, Else Vogler, to the flames, he is allowed for the first time to visit the witch tower where the monks imprison suspected witches awaiting trial. He's met with surprise when the first prisoner turns out to be his step-sister, Anna Held. [1. Prelude] He hasn't seen her since he was nine, but he's convinced she must not be a witch. Gabriel seeks consul from his mentor, Friar Jakob. Gabriel meets Jakob in the library, and when he makes his presence known, Gabriel sees Jakob hastily hide the book he had been reading. Offering little more than platitudes, Jakob does little to ease Gabriel's anxiety. Out of curiousity and desperation, Gabriel surreptitously visits the library that night to take a peek at the book. He finds little he can understand, save for a vague inscription about seven seals and a letter folded in the pages from someone named Lugaid Vandroiy to Else Vogler, bidding that she return the book on his imminent visit. Gabriel leaves the library with little to show for it.
The next day when he meets Jakob, now more willing to help Gabriel's cause, the monk sees black stains on Gabriel's hands, left from the heretic book. So Gabriel's locked up in jail, with a weird old guy. After hearing Gabriel's story, the old man reveals himself as Vandroiy, previous owner of the book, and one of the last Druids left in the world. [2. Reach Out For the Light] Learning more than his sheltered upbringing allowed, Gabriel begins to question his previous doctrine, and the recent death sentence he passed, while Jakob regrets betraying his student. [3. Serpents In Paradise] That night, Gabriel recounts the trial of Else Vogler, just beginning to see the barbarism he's committed. [4. Malleus Maleficarum]
Three days after Gabriel's imprisonment began, Vandroiy convinces him to bust outta the joint, since once free, they could work to save Anna. Gabriel wonders what will become of his life if he betrays everything he once held dear. [5. Breaking Away] Once free from prison, Vandroiy urges Gabriel to flee the city, to prevent their recapture. Gabriel rues the decision to leave Anna behind, and vows one day to return. [6. Farewell]
Meanwhile, we join Friar Jakob, taking a nice trip to Rome with his friends Falk von Kronberg, baliff of Mainz, who prosecuted Else Vogler, and the bishop Johann Adam von Bicken. They're going to deliver the evil book to the Pope Clemens VIII, or excuse me, IIIV, himself. As they enter Rome, they're enchanted by the majesty of the holy city. [7. Glory of Rome] Clemens takes them on a little trip through the Roman catacombs, speaking about a world of ultimate wisdom which requires the seven seals, the final of which is contained within the book. Deep underneath the city of Rome, the pope leads them to a door emblazoned with a seal identical to the one on Else Vogler's book. Pressing the book up against the seal opens the door into another realm. [8. In Nomine Patris]
As we reconvene with Gabriel, he wakes up to find the shit kicked out of him, and remembers what got him into this state. Right after leaving Mainz, Vandroiy and Gabriel were set upon by brigands, preventing them from following von Bicken's train to Rome. Vandroy had also helpfully explained about the seven seals, that they were used to gain passage to the spiritual world known as Avantasia. Once Vandroiy returns with some healing herbs, he lays out his new plan now that the book is out of their reach: at a nearby glade, Vandroiy can send Gabriel's spirit to Avantasia though his body will remain in the regular world. Gabriel goes along with it because he figures it'll probably connect to Anna at some point. [9. Avantasia]
Gabriel awakens in a strange place, wide open vistas of resplendent nature open up before him, and what's more, his spirit now resides in a different body. [10. A New Dimension] A dwarf, named Regrin, and an elf, named Elderane, introduce themselves and try to explain to Gabriel how Avantasia works. He's more just miffed that he's not freeing Anna at the moment. [11. Inside]
After taking Gabriel to the elf city Sesidhbana, Elderane gives him a mission: to stop the pope's group from taking the seven seals to the dark tower at the center of Avantasia. For some reason the inhabitants of Avantasia are forbidden from interfering with humans, so Gabriel is the only man for the job. If the procession is victorious in delivering the seals, it will mean the end of Avantasia, which will destroy... philosophy... I guess. Point is, it's bad news. So Gabriel is flown over to the travelers' path to act as their guide and steal away the seal before it's too late. [12. Sign of the Cross]
Gabriel successfully fools the group of clerics thanks to his altered appearance, and they all make their way to the tower. Both Gabriel and Vandroiy start to wonder what exactly is going on, such as what bringing the seven seals to the tower will do, or why Elderane won't explain anything to them. Vandroiy, at least, is actually invested in this whole Avantasia thing, while Gabriel is hoping it gets wrapped up so he can actually save his still-imprisoned stepsister. After trudging between two armies(?) the group arrives at the tower, where an ominous voice demands the seven seals. Before giving up the seals, the pope starts to have doubts of his own, giving Gabriel a chance to nick one of them and get out of there. Also the voice is probably the devil. [13. The Tower] Part one of our story ends with that cliffhanger.
Okay, so there's something you should know right out of the gate: I've tried to read the whole story through the liner notes before, but never have I completed it before writing this review. That's not to say the story as a whole is bad, it's got some interesting themes, the blinding effect of dogma, the way faith can lead one astray if not carefully considered, and all that jazz. The problem is that it's obviously written by somebody who learned English as a second language and never bothered to get an editor. Take a look at this one tiny passage:
A secret mission, as Clemens tells both not to talk to anyone about it, since it's a very special privilege for the guys from Mainz to join him. God usually doesn't want people to see, what they will probably see tonight and he doesn't want people to know about everything, wisdom should not illuminate the wrong ones' minds because on earth there are too many people who don't have the strength to face the whole truth.
That's the typical formatting of the entirety of the liner notes. There's a long section near the end that tries to explain how Avantasia was made and who exactly is in the tower but no matter how many times I reread it I can't make heads or tails of it. The parts in Mainz are pretty straightforward, however once Tobi gets into the metaphysics of the realm of imagination he's lost me.
As a simple fantasy story it's not all bad, just a bit opaque at times. It's got an elf and a dwarf, though whether or not they reside solely within human consciousness is something we'll have to come to terms with never knowing. It's pretty obvious providing a deep story wasn't the main focus of this project. It's nice enough to know, and if you never interact with the story it won't necessarily improve or impair your enjoyment. The lyrics alone are enough to get the gist across, and speaking of which:
Holy geez guys. This is power metal at its very finest. You would be hard-pressed to find a more well put together and well regarded album than this one here, save for perhaps the sequel. This is THE project that got Michael Kiske, legendary singer of Helloween, back into power metal (even though his non-metal albums were great too) where he continues to work today in his current band, Unisonic.
I hardly know where to start; "Reach Out For the Light" is a killer opening, a classic Power Metal track straight out of Helloween. Tobias Sammet displays his immaculate singing throughout this album, easily cementing him among the top metal vocalists, and when you're singing alongside Kiske, that's quite an accomplishment! The guitar solo, played by Henjo Richter of Gamma Ray fame, is one of my favorites on an album full of great solos. Not to mention the little bass interlude, played by Markus Grosskopf, another Helloween alumnus.
"Farewell" is the one ballad on the album, and unfortunately the only one on this album to feature Sharon den Adel (of Within Temptation) as Anna Held. Sammet himself said he hadn't yet chosen a female singer for the project when he wrote the song, so he regretted not giving her more to do. Luckily he rectified that in The Metal Opera Part II, but we won't be looking at that yet. Also of note is Kiske's part at the end, where according to Tobias Sammet, the ludicrously high notes were sent off to Kiske as a joke, but he performed them just as written to astonishing effect.
"Sign of the Cross" is a great bombastic track, with the kind of Catholic vanity you could expect from a song with that name. It features Oliver Hartmann (formerly of At Vance) as the Pope, Rob Rock (of Impellitteri) as Bishop Von Bicken, Kai Hansen (of Helloween, Gamma Ray, and currently Unisonic), and last but not least, the late, great Andre Matos (of Angra, Shaman, and Symfonia) as Elderane the Elf. It's got some of that special power metal magic you just can't find anywhere else, especially with lines like these:
Seven eyes to be blind forever in time:
Sign of the cross...
Hell arise! Castigation under the sign,
sign of the cross -
make us drown in alter wine
I didn't even know the word "castigation" before listening to this album! Sometimes I think this whole album came about when Tobi learned that word.
But my favorite track, hands down, has to be the very last on the album, "The Tower". At a little under 10 minutes, it's one of those longform masterpieces that draws me in no matter what I'm doing. With a melancholy piano melody in the beginning that slowly fades, only for the full orchestration to blast out of the gate and send you reeling for the rest of the song. Sammet works his usual splendor in the vocal department, along with Kiske and Mados. The percussion on this song is phenomenal, played throughout the album by Alex Holzwarth (Rhapsody of Fire, Luca Turilli) who has some of my favorite drum fills of all time. Not to mention the best lines Tobias Sammet has ever written:
Never been a fighter, never been a man
But I must help Vandroiy, he's my only friend.
Nowhere to go and I know that he knows
how we will get her out
Magic of transcendence
brought me to this place
Vandroiy in reality lead me on my race.
Told me to bring back the seal
but I still don't know where I shall go.
That's not even mentioning the evil Voice Of The Tower portion, where Timo Tolkki, guitarist, singer, and songwriter for Stratovarius and other bands, says one line and that's all he had to do with the project. It's great.
The Metal Opera is one of those touchstone albums, the kind where I'm not sure what the state of power metal would be in its absence. It was actually pretty difficult to write about because it's become so ubiquitous, like when you play the original Super Mario Bros and have trouble coming to terms with just how much it changed the game. Yeah, the story certainly isn't making any major strides, but that really goes to show just how good a musician Tobias Sammet is. Avantasia continues today, of course, and is certainly no slouch either. Of course, if I ever get to that one, it'll mean I have to read those liner notes...
Oh geez.

Cincinnati, OH – One Injured in Car Crash on Elberon Ave
Cincinnati, OH (July 27, 2021) – An auto accident reported in the Cincinnati area ended in injuries. Just after 3 p.m., on July 24, emergency crews in Cincinnati were called to the site of a crash on Elberon Avenue.
Reports from authorities show that a collision between two vehicles occurred in the area of 393 Elberon Avenue. The impact of the crash caused one vehicle to begin smoking with one person trapped inside. Firefighters responded to the scene to extinguished the flames and extricate the trapped victim. The injured party was transported to a local hospital for medical care. At this time, the incident remains under investigation.
Each year, more than 66,000 car crashes take place in the state of Ohio. These accidents send tens of thousands of victims to area hospitals where they have to go through emergency medical services for their injuries. Many injured parties are rushed to undergo surgery and have to spend days or even weeks in hospitals to recover. Depending on the type and severity of an injury, many injured parties may have to go through therapy and rehabilitation. Although there are several treatment options available for victims injured in car crashes, they come with no promise of a full recovery. Instead, we see thousands of victims left with permanent disabilities following their accidents.
Although most motorists are careful, we see many accidents take place due to the negligent actions of other motorists. When victims are injured by drivers who are distracted, drunk or impaired drivers, and drivers who engage in other reckless driving behaviors, they may have legal options available to help them get justice following the crash. Seeking the assistance of a knowledgeable Cincinnati car accident attorney can help to ensure you are in the best position possible to move forward following your accident. In many cases, victims are entitled to compensation to help alleviate the cost of medical treatment, the impacts of lost wages, and a variety of other financial burdens they are forced to endure following the accident.

How Georgette became cancer free!
There's so much more than just conventional chemo and radiation – find out what you're missing.
Georgette is a 66-year-old woman from British Columbia, Canada, who'd been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SCLC). Although she'd smoked a pack of cigarettes per day for much of her life, she'd quit smoking many years ago.
Since her tumours were localized, her doctors decided to remove them via surgery. After surgery, Georgette was told that she was completely cured; no follow up was required. Her doctors told her that she'd soon be released from her local cancer agency, BCCA (British Columbia Cancer Agency) and her file there would be closed.
This seemingly good news was, in reality, quite disconcerting. You see, a few months after her surgery, Georgette had gotten a PET/CT scan. And this PET/CT scan had shown two potential tumours. Her doctors assured her this was most likely due to residual inflammation from her surgery.
But Georgette's instinct told her she needed more information. She wasn't ready to trust her life to guesswork, so she reached out to CTOAM for a second opinion.
First, we reviewed Georgette's medical records and history. Georgette had very poor nutrition, so we created a healthy diet plan to reduce the growth of the cancer. We based this on human clinical trials and association studies that linked the intake of certain foods to the survival rates for her particular type of lung cancer.
Interestingly, our research found that both the intake and avoidance of specific foods often led to a reduction in the risk of SCLC and the progression of disease. Interestingly, the protective benefits of these foods was only found for lung cancers in smokers and ex-smokers.
We then obtained a sample of Georgette's tumour tissue and sent it for tumour DNA sequencing. We looked for cancer-causing mutations in the DNA of over 340 genes involved in lung and other cancers.
The results from Georgette's tumour DNA sequencing showed that she had an EGFR L858R mutation. This mutation is a negative prognostic feature and patients with this mutation have minimal response to standard chemotherapy.
However, this mutation allows for the use of EGFR targeting drugs, such as tarceva. Patients that receive EGFR targeted drugs such as tarceva live about two to three times longer than patients receiving standard chemotherapy. And because this is a targeted drug, it also has minimal side effects.
We immediately wrote up a patient report for Georgette's public healthcare treatment team urging them to put her on this life-saving drug.
Unfortunately, her doctors told her that this drug was not approved for her type and stage of lung cancer: they would not be able to prescribe it for her until she was palliative and had advanced stage IV cancer.
We then asked her to contact an independent community oncologist near her home town (whom CTOAM had prior experience working with). Georgette's community oncologist was able to prescribe tarceva for her. Significantly, he was also able to get her healthcare plan to cover the cost of the drug.
Our cancer experts needed a) to know the current status of her cancer and b) a way to measure the benefits of the tarceva. To achieve both, we performed a liquid biopsy to detect the level of her EGFR mutation prior to her treatment.
What is a liquid biopsy? This liquid biopsy detects circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA). It also measures the ratio of the mutated EGFR to the non-mutated EGFR genes. This provides us with a rough idea of the actual amount of cancer cells in her body at a given time.
Since Georgette's EGFR mutation was unique to her tumour cells, we could measure the amount of the EGFR mutation prior to and during her therapy. This would give us an idea of the relative amount of tumour cells in her body. If the treatment worked, we would see a significant decrease in the percentage of the EGFR mutation from a sample of her blood.
Testing all of the body's tumours at the same time using liquid biopsies is a much more accurate way of determining responses to EGFR inhibitors than other standard methods. (The public medical system often uses radiographic imaging and other non-specific blood-based tumour markers, such as CEA and 19-9.) Plus, liquid biopsies remove the need for patients to be subjected to ionizing radiation (as with CT and PET/CT scans).
Looking at a complete body-wide, drug-induced, anti-tumour response is essential for determining how well the treatment is working.
Prior to her treatment, Georgette's EGFR levels were undetectable.
During the course of her treatment, a government funded PET/CT scan showed that there were still two remaining suspicious growths in her lungs.
PET/CT, unlike other forms of medical imaging, is able to identify active tumours at a very small size, based on the biological activity of the tumour.
While most forms of imaging look at the density of the tumour and compare it to the surrounding tissues, PET/CT uses a harmless radioactive isotope that is bound to a sugar molecule.
Since tumour cells are constantly growing and therefore highly metabolic, they drink up more of the sugar-isotope solution than the surrounding tissues and any tumours will glow like Christmas tree lights.
Importantly, since only live tumours will drink the sugar-isotope solution, PET/CT can tell if a tumour is alive or if it has been affected (killed) by a specific treatment. No other form of imaging can reveal this essential information!
Furthermore, since the amount of the sugar-isotope solution a specific tumour drinks depends on how fast it is growing, a PET/CT can determine how aggressive a specific tumour is compared with other tumours in the body. This is referred to as the serum uptake value (SUV), and allows doctors to focus on the tumours that are most likely to metastasize.
Unfortunately, Georgette's PET/CT showed sites of very low SUV activity: while this could be indicative of a tumour, it was not conclusive.
So we performed another ctDNA liquid biopsy, which also came back as negative. This indicated that the PET/CT was most likely based on inflammation from her previous operation.
While Georgette remains stable on tarceva, recent studies identified that another EGFR targeting drug (afatinib) was actually superior to the tarceva. Better yet, afatinib was available at her local cancer agency.
Reduced risk of progression: Afatinib irreversibly binds to both EGFR and HER2. Compare this to tarceva, which is just a reversible inhibitor that only binds to EGFR. This is important because dysregulation of ErbB receptors (such as HER2) play a role in SCLC progression.
Beneficial as initial treatment: Afatinib given as the initial treatment significantly reduces the risk of progression by 27% compared to gefitinib. Furthermore, these improvements in PFS were found to be more pronounced over time: a significantly higher proportion of patients were alive and progression-free at 18 months (27% versus 15%; P = 0.018) and 24 months (18% versus 8%; P = 0.018), when compared to other EGFR inhibitors.
Beneficial as second line treatment: Afatinib offers significant benefits as a second line treatment in patients with SCLC that had progressed while taking tarceva. In these patients, treatment with afatinib reduced the risk of cancer progression by 19%, and reduced the risk of death by 19% compared to tarceva.
Improved quality of life: Importantly, further research confirmed afatinib was also associated with improvements in patient reported outcomes. Studies showed that more patients had improved overall health-related quality-of-life (36% versus 28%; p=0.041), reduced cough (43% versus 35%; p=0.029), and reduced shortness of breath (51% versus 44%; p=0.061) with afatinib than with erlotinib.
In other words, regardless of whether afatinib was given as the initial treatment or given after the patient received tarceva, the benefits were significant and the overall health and well-being of the patient was improved.
Currently, Georgette is still cancer-free and taking tarceva almost three years since her initial diagnosis. Unfortunately, BCCA will not provide Georgette with the new and improved EGFR inhibitor afatinib unless her disease progresses. However, she can pay out of pocket if she so chooses.
Furthermore, when tarceva and/or afatinib stop working, she has a variety of other targeted therapies that have the potential of providing her with more time – without the damaging side effects of standard chemotherapy.
Currently, Georgette is feeling very well. Her oncologist recently assured her and her loved ones that she is still cancer-free, since both her PET/CT and tumour markers remain negative. Further, she's been able to reduce the dose of tarceva: she now alternates between taking 100mgs and 50mgs daily. This helps to reduce the side effects of the drug, as well as the overall cost.

As the Winter Solstice promises the world brighter days in the coming future and the end of the current Mayan Calendar suggests a new era of transformation, No Borders Iceland—an activist movement working with and for refugees—is preparing to add weight to the journey of radical social change and transformation.
Under the auspice of No Borders, two Puerto Rican rappers—Rayzer Sharp and M.I.C. of The Welfare Poets, an Afro-Caribbean hip-hop band based in Harlem, New York—will be spending the next three weeks in Iceland, performing alongside local musicians and poets, facilitating workshops on the history of hip-hop as cultural resistance, and studying state repression and activism in Iceland.
The band retains strong ties with liberation movements in their home country of Puerto Rico, which have fought a long struggle against US occupation. "For over a hundred years, since the ousting of the Spanish rule of the island, the US has occupied and ruled Puerto Rico," M.I.C. explains. "We basically have the status of a colony." This, they say, has led to the exploitation of the country's rainforests and natural resources, a forced turn from agricultural economy to an industrial one, countless US army bases, and particularly the persecution of those committed to fight for liberation.
Seeing society's short historical memory as one reason for the commercialisation of hip-hop, the band is also involved in community education and organizing. That's in fact how M.I.C. entered the picture approximately ten years ago. "We were running an afterschool program in Harlem around hip-hop and he was a student in the class," Rayzer recalls. Having noticed the talents and potentials of this sixteen-year-old, Rayzer invited M.I.C. to join the group.
When No Borders invited them to come to Iceland, they didn't hesitate to accept. "The cops tried to stir us up the day before we were supposed to come here," M.I.C. tells me. They were filming a music video on a rooftop in New York when the cops stopped them. This would typically have resulted in small fines for trespassing, but this time was different. "My shirt had a Puerto Rican independence flag on it, so they made an association between us and Los Macheteros," an armed Puerto Rican resistance group that has been fighting for independence for a number years. The Poets were arrested and kept in jail for thirty hours until they got out with the assistance of lawyers and all charges were dropped.

The House of Representatives Repeals the ACA Cadillac Tax
July 23, 2019 • by Emerald Law in Compliance
UPDATE 12/19/19: On 12/19/19 Congress passed the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, which permanently repealed the Cadillac Tax. This means that the Cadillac Tax will never take effect.
The House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to repeal the "Cadillac Tax" under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Cadillac Tax ("tax") is a tax on high-cost health care plans that was passed to finance health care expansion under the ACA.
The tax was originally set to take effect in 2018 but was delayed twice by legislation until 2022. The Senate still needs to vote on the repeal before the tax is eliminated. It is unclear whether Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will bring up the bill for a vote.
The tax is unpopular with both Republicans and Democrats, as the tax impacts high-earners and union-sponsored plans and does not appropriately account for the annual increases in health care costs. The tax is especially unpopular with employers, who have the burden of calculating the tax and are expected to absorb the 40% tax on employer-sponsored plans whose cost exceed a statutory threshold. Below are some frequently asked questions about the tax.
What is the Cadillac Tax?
The Cadillac Tax ("tax") was originally passed as a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010 to finance health care expansion and control the cost of health care.
The tax is on employer-sponsored "Cadillac plans," or expensive health care plans. A 40% tax is levied on the cost of coverage over a statutory amount, which was projected to be $11,200 for single coverage and $30,100 for family coverage in 2020 (which would be adjusted annually).
The cost of coverage includes the total amount in employer and employee contributions to health insurance premiums, health savings accounts (HSAs), health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and medical flexible spending accounts (FSAs). This means that these employer and employee contributions "count against" the statutory maximum, and any amounts above the statutory maximum will be subject to a 40% tax.
Who is subject to the Cadillac Tax?
The tax is calculated by employers on a per employee basis. The tax is levied on carriers for fully insured health care plans, employers for HSAs and Archer MSAs, and third-party administrators for other health benefits. It was expected that carriers and third parties would pass the cost of the tax on to employers.
How does the Cadillac Tax effect employers?
Employers were projected to modify employees' health benefits in order to avoid the tax by eliminating higher-cost insurance options, lowering contributions to FSAs, HSAs, and HRAs, and eliminating covered services. In addition, employers are responsible for calculating the tax for each employee.
Most employers will welcome the repeal of the Cadillac Tax, as it will allow employers to offer their choice of health care benefits to their employees without having to consider whether they will be subject to additional taxes and reporting requirements.
Since the repeal of the tax garners bipartisan support and the start date has been pushed back on two occasions, it is likely that the tax will be repealed prior to its 2022 start date. In the meantime, employers should keep an eye on whether Congress repeals the tax.

This 118th issue of Doctor Who Magazine had a cover date of November 1986. This was the last cover the feature Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor before his last regular appearance in The Ultimate Foe. The last appearance in his tenure would go to DWM 125, however.
The Daleks - Fish and chips, the Royal Family, Doctor Who and the Daleks: British side by side. If Doctor Who ended tomorrow, for years to come we would still see children playing at being Daleks, just as they did in the lengthy gap - five years - between Evil of the Daleks and The Day of the Daleks. What made them quite so popular no one knows; perhaps they fill a gap that most fantasy creations in the 1960s were unable to. They made their creator, Terry Nation, a rich man and their designer, Ray Cusick, little better off, as they swept across Britain in a wave of merchandising. By Philip Dickson.

The To The TARDIS logo is largely unpopular and a replacement is being sought.
A reader writes that the TARDIS sound effect in the comic strip has gone from "Vworp! Vworp!" to simply "Vwoorp!". Replacement suggestions are invited.
A reader (Ian Marter, Los Angeles) writes thanking Gary Russell for his generous remarks.
In the TV Preview for Story 3, no name is actually mentioned, but in the Off the Shelf column it is suggested that the adaptation will go under the very working title of Terror of the Vervoids.

Your Kitten is Hungry
Original Title: Hungerik dayn ketsele
Performer: Daniel Kempin
Lyricist: Mordecai Gebirtig
Composer: Mordecai Gebirtig
Poland Jewish communities before the war musicians
Lyrics (translated)
Mordecai Gebirtig, born in 1877 in Krakow, Poland, was a Yiddish folk poet and songwriter. Gebirtig had three daughters, for whom he wrote and performed his poems. The words were set to improvised melodies, and most of his songs resemble entries in a diary. Many of Gebirtig's poems contain themes of eastern European Jewish life in the 1920s and 1930s. The lullaby "Your Kitten is Hungry" dates from the early 1920s. The lyrics, addressed to a hungry child, evoke the themes of hunger and deprivation.

NACCIMA seeks legislative action for establishment of customs, excise duties appeal tribunal
The Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) has called for a legislative action to establish an independent appeal ombudsman to be known and called Customs and Excise Duties Appeal Tribunal.
The tribunal will serve as a vehicle for resolution of disputes arising from, relating to, and connected with assessment, payment and collection of duties and tariffs by the Nigeria Customs Service, thereby making going to court unattractive and as a last resort.
It is in pursuance of this, that the National President of NACCIMA, Ide John Udeagbala, held several advocacy meetings with the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Customs, Excise & Tariff, Senator Francis Alimikhena, requesting the Committee to present a Bill for the Amendment of the Customs and Excise Management Act to allow for the establishment of an appeal tribunal.
In response to this request, the House of Representatives Committee on Customs & Excise invited NACCIMA and key stakeholders to a Public Hearing and Call for Memoranda on a bill for an Act to repeal the Customs & Excise Management Act, CAP. C45, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, and to Enact an Act to Establish the Nigerian Customs Service and other Related Matters Act 2021.
Udeagbala who was represented by 1st Deputy President of Abuja Chamber of Commerce, Chief Emeka Obegolu presented a position paper for NACCIMA.
While making his presentation, Udeagbala stated the need for a customs & excise duties tribunal by shedding light on growing conflicts/disputes between Nigeria Customs Service and importers/investors on matters of product valuation and harmonized system of product classification (HS code), among other issues.

"The situation has made port users that have options to shun our ports. It has also presented myriad of difficulties for importers/investors and discouraged trade and investment."
Udeagbala further cited examples of existing tribunals for similar revenue agencies like FIRS which has Tax Appeal Tribunal, and Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) which has Securities & Exchange Tribunal; and urged the Senate Committee to move for the establishment of a Customs appeal system in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 10 of the General Annex to the Revised Kyoto Convention of which Nigeria has assented to.

Q: How can I use the same CSS attribute on several selectors? Please say there's a simpler/shorter way to write this CSS:
.ads h3{
color: #f7f7f7;
}
.ads p{
color: #f7f7f7;
}
.ads blockquote{
color: #f7f7f7;
}

It's a right pain at the moment and takes up space in the CSS file...

A: You can group selectors that you wish to share common rules by separating them with commas. So, the following will work:
.ads h3, .ads p, .ads blockquote {
   color: #f7f7f7;
}

See the CSS 2.1 Specification, Section 5.2.1.

A: God says: "Yes"
"Your prayers have been answered my child"
.ads h3, .ads p, .ads blockquote {
    color: #F7F7F7;
}

And even taking it further (if there are no child elements which should not be colored as well):
.ads * {
    color: #F7F7F7;
}

And if you're OK with the text inside the paragraph itself to also have this same gray color:
.ads {
    color: #f7f7f7;
}

This will be overridden by any other styles that have been set on p, blockquote or h3, so you might want to take it further:
.ads, .ads * {
    color: #f7f7f7;
}

A: Unless there are any other overriding rules you haven't shown, this will be fine:
.ads
{
color: #f7f7f7;
}

A: You can write it like this to make it simpler/shorter.
.ads h3, p, blockquotes{
color: #f7f7f7;
}

A: .ads h3, .ads p, .ads blockquote{
  color: #f7f7f7;
}

A: .ads h3,
.ads p,
.ads blockquote {
  color: #f7f7f7;
}

A: You don't need the trailing ; either (per YUI CSS Min)
.ads h3,.ads p,.ads blockquote{color:#f7f7f7}
