On universal credit owes council tax and the bailiffs keep banging on my door. This weeks blog.
Dear readers it appears that winter is most definitely on the way. Today was very cold and wet a deadly combination for street homeless people and people that can't afford to heat their home.
Sadly I also know what it feels like when the electric goes and you can't top it up. Solidarity with all those in the same position, its not one bit enjoyable. Anyway I digress.
Today there was a lot of people waiting for the food parcels to arrive. Each and every one of these food parcels were needed and some of those collecting them hadn't ate properly for a while.
It's easy to fall between the cracks of society and not deemed important enough to help. Many don't like to ask for help because they don't feel that they're deserving of it. Some are barred from local organisations for various different reasons. This makes life very hard for them. Others have had their allowed three foodbank vouchers and have been refused anymore. Can you imagine being in their position?
My first conversation was with a man that I've been talking to every week. He usually brings his dog when he collects his food parcel, his dog is lovely and he takes really good care of him. He told me that he's hoping that his latest job application is successful and I gave him my best wishes. He deserves so much better than this.
After I handed out the food parcels a young woman asked me of she could speak to me privately. She told me that her health isn't good at the moment and being homeless doesn't help, telling me that later today she will be going to the walk in centre to hopefully get some medication. I gave her some money for a phone charger because her phone is her lifeline not only to the DWP but to her children and friends.
I really hope that she's ok because she's really not well at all.
Today we had various conversations about lots of different things, one matter kept popping up and that was council tax payments and visits from bailiffs.
I gave the best advice that I could but its awful when the person that you're speaking to is crying because they're scared. I was speaking to a lovely woman that told me she was absolutely terrified of the bailiffs banging on her door and windows.
It's very easy for someone to fall into council tax arrears and a universal credit application was to blame in this case. Because of the long wait for her universal credit payment to be processed she fell into arrears with just about everything.
After her latest bailiff visit she went into the council offices to see if she could arrange a payment plan with her. Their answer was a flat no. No they wouldn't help, no they wouldn't stop the bailiffs from coming. Even though she was offering a reasonable repayment plan they denied her any assistance. They did however tell her to go to citizens advice and 'they might' be able to contact the council tax department.
This has not helped her one bit,she's living in fear and she's scared. I gave her some sound advice and told her that she can contact me if she needs to.
Although I am very aware of what the council can and can't do in situations like this their refusal to help speaks volumes doesn't it. So many people live in fear of bailiffs coming to their homes and sometimes barging in.
This shouldn't be happening. The current council tax scheme is a punishing system. It .demands that people pay an unreasonable amount of money when they can't afford it.
Council also costs more to implement than what local councils gain from it. It's not working and this system needs to stop asap.
No one should be living in fear in their own homes, scared when the bailiffs come banging on doors and windows or barging their way into their home.
I'm also very aware of the laws surrounding council tax so please no comments saying that I don't know how the system works. I know only too well how it works and I've been campaigning against it for years now.
I had a conversation with a lovely young man, he asked me what we were doing and I replied. He told me that he really didn't know anything about politics but he'd like to learn more. We had a good chat and hopefully he will be more aware in the future.
This did raise my concern about the lack of public education regarding politics. It's not taught as much in school as it should be and many people, like this young man aren't as aware as they should be.
We need to educate those that aren't aware by conversation but I believe that children should be given some political education whilst at school.
I then had a second conversation regarding council tax, and not long after another. I offered some advice and signposted to the best of my ability.
We then had a long conversation with a woman who's homeless. She was worried because she needs to change her care of address but didn't want to be thrown onto universal credit as a result.
To say shes scared and worried is an understatement. The words universal credit often cause people to panic. John was extremely helpful and helped this lovely woman whilst I was helping someone else. We did everything in our power to help her but thank you John.
I can't thank the team enough today, the weather was awful but that didn't prevent us from helping lots of people. We will be back again next week, please come and join us!

Your entitled to universal credit hang on no your not yes you are.
Dear readers this weeks blog is extremely late because WordPress has apparently got some problems and it wouldn't upload my blog. I then followed their instructions which resulted in it being deleted. Never mind here's my second attempt at uploading it.
Thursday was a mixed bag really lots of differing problems mostly because of the DWPs incompetence.
As I arrived there was a queue for the food parcels both at the drop off point and outside the Jobcentre. I had conversations with all of the people needing the food parcels and the common theme was that they're fed up with the DWP messing them around. They also hate not being able to feed themselves off the meagre amount of money that they receive. It's near impossible. Universal credit pushes people into poverty and there's no escape from it.
My first conversation was with a woman who has four children and is struggling to feed both her children and herself. She told me that she regularly has to go without meals in order to feed her children and her health is now suffering, telling me that she's always having to visit the doctors for aliments that she didn't suffer from when she was working and better off financially.
Loosing her job and having to claim universal credit is the worst thing that has ever happened to her and her children she said. She's also worrying about buying uniforms for her children saying that she can't afford to buy them any new uniform but proudly told me that at at least she's managed to buy them new shoes.
Can you imagine how humiliating this is for both her and her children? No doubt that thousands of others will be in the same situation and they too will be suffering in silence. Luckily I could signpost her for help but this is only short term help.
It was then that I had an interesting conversation with a woman struggling with making a claim for universal credit. Telling me that she's tried three times and each time they gave me a different answer. Once they even gave her a payment date then denied her application.she doesn't haven't got a clue what will happen with my latest application. She asked if anyone working there (the DWP) have a clue what they're doing? I answered saying that it depends on who you talk to, its much like playing a game of roulette.
Luckily I could signpost her and advise her and hopefully she will be successful this time. The stress of her situation is immense because she hasn't got a clue where her next meal is coming from.
It was then that I had a conversation with an older lady that told me that she's a registered carer. She's finding it very hard to live off the meagre amount of money that she gets for doing this. As I handed her a copy of our survival guide she told me that the DWP have now decided to give her two payments a month instead of one a month which is messing up her rent payments. She's tried to get her landlord to understand but they refuse they just want their rent.
Luckily I was able to advise and signpost her but it's intolerable that someone who is saving the government thousands of pounds a week is being treated this way. Carer's are invaluable and should be treated as such.
I then had a short conversation with a woman that wasn't happy with being made to attend the Jobcentre twice a week. Not only is this extremely stressful for her but it's also costing her a fortune in bus fares because she lives quite a distance away. Basically it's costing het at least two meals a week.
This is exactly how they control us, they never allow anyone to have a rest or to think independently. They want everyone to be under their beck and call at all times even when ill.
Universal credit is cruel beyond belief, its been created to be like this. Both myself and many others want to see an end to this cruel system and a fairer one created.
We were joined by colleagues from Stockport Against Austerity but unfortunately we had to end the demo early because it started to rain very heavily. As we took shelter elsewhere we were still available to advise people and indeed we helped a woman to understand why her first universal credit payment would take so long.
I'm very glad to have helped so many people over the years and we will be back next week to do it again.

Sanctioned whilst working. Apparently for not 'committing enough' to finding work.
Dear readers it's Thursday again, I hope that you're all ok and surviving this rotten system. I know that it's hard but keep going because you are valued and are important.
Guess what folks, it was raining today and it was cold, it looks like autumn has arrived a tad early. This time last year we were experiencing a heatwave.
As usual I'll list some of the conversations that I had today. It's awful that we are being treated in this manner and I pray that one day it will stop. We deserve much better than this.
Today I read an article about a disabled man that had slit his throat because he was scared of claiming universal credit. You can bet that Amber Rudd won't mention that upon questioning.
https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/man-terrified-move-universal-credit-3206672
Back to today. We handed all the food parcels out as usual I just wish that there wasn't a need for them. I know that I keep saying that but it really bothers me.
I met Jim as he was walking towards the Jobcentre after climbing the horridly steep steps. He looked frustrated but nevertheless he went inside for his appointment. I spoke to him as he left the building, he looked quite distressed and I asked him if he would like a leaflet. Jim told me that he hadn't received his payment as usual because he had three addresses. Of course Jim doesn't have three addresses but this was their reasoning for stopping his payments.
It honestly isn't rocket science is it. Most people don't have three addresses so this must be an error on the DWPs part. He will be appealing this decision, in the meantime Jim has no money.
I had a brief conversation with a young woman that appeared to be having an argument with someone on the telephone about a bank account so when she walked towards me I asked her if she was ok. She wasn't ok, her bank account had been shut down and she needed to find another bank account that she can use. Luckily she managed to find one but this is one of the perils of everything being online. It can't always be taken for granted that a person has a bank account even though most have. There is a distinct lack of understanding about this and as a result some people will be prevented from claiming because they don't want to open an account.
I spotted Bill as he was walking towards the Jobcentre clutching a piece of paper. I asked him if he would like a copy of our leaflet and he said yes and that he was having a hell of a time with the DWP at the moment.
Bills situation is this, he's working and has made a claim for universal credit. The DWP haven't given him a date for when he might expect his first payment and so far to date he owes £600 in rent arrears. I did tell him that he can get a loan off the DWP whilst he waits but he didn't want that saying that he'll have to pay this back. Bill makes a very good point. Most universal credit claimants never actually receive the full amount which drags them deeper into poverty.
Both myself and Gordon then spoke to a woman as she was walking towards the Jobcentre. I handed her a leaflet and as I did so she told us that she is working but has been sanctioned apparently because she isn't 'committed enough' to finding work. This is absolutely ludicrous, she's more than committed because she's already working. She then went on to tell me that upon asking what dates she wasn't committed enough for, they still wouldn't tell her. She is now appealing this decision, it's appalling that shes being treated in this manner. If that wasn't bad enough she's got children to care for on next to no income. Never believe the DWP when they say that universal credit helps people to find work, it does the complete opposite.
I then spoke to Ron. Ron is having a horrible time at the moment, his monthly payment was stolen and he doesn't have enough money to survive on. He told me that he was going to ask about applying for a loan.
We had lots of conversations today ranging from sanctions, housing problems, not knowing their national insurance number etc etc. I'm just glad that we were there to help them.
Please read and share my blog also tweet, rt and email it. This is just a small snapshot of what happens up and down the country everyday.
We will be back next week as usual.
Thank you to everyone that supports my blog and the work that we do. It does mean a lot and I couldn't do it without you.

Man 65 and living on meagre savings. Too scared to claim universal credit.
Dear readers, we were extremely busy today and I left my phone at home. Typical of me these days but at least I'm lucky enough to have a mobile phone in the first place. So apologies to anyone that was trying to contact me.
We had good weather for a change which we really welcomed both it makes a nice change. We've been lucky so far with the weather.
The food parcels went almost immediately, a sad incitement of how the government treats the poorest and most vulnerable. They're actually proud of the fact that we have foodbanks when in reality it's shameful.
Most of the people that we spoke to today were having problems with their ESA or universal credit claim. I found it extremely concerning that most of the people that I spoke to didn't know what benefit they were receiving. The systems far too complicated and most of them didn't know how to use a computer. This almost always inevitably results in them getting a sanction and of course the DWP don't give a stuff.
As usual I'll list some of the conversations that we had with people. All of them were extremely vulnerable and shouldn't have to be going through this.
As I was sat waiting for Gordon to arrive I had a conversation with a chap who was extremely confused. He had a stroke not long ago and as a result his short term memory isn't good.
I engaged him in conversation and he asked if he could have a food parcel. I said yes of course he could and I asked him why did he need a food parcel. To say he's confused is an understatement. He doesn't know what benefit he was getting, he only knew that his payments had been stopped. After asking him some more questions it sounded like he had been claiming ESA and hadn't attended one of the DWPs farcical medical examinations.
This is how the DWP and government treats the most vulnerable people in society, they don't give a shit if they live or die. If they can't make any money out of you they'll bin you like yesterdays newspaper, which will most likely be a copy of the Metro newspaper their favourite propaganda tool.
Luckily I was there to help him and I advised him of what to do but I shouldn't have to be there to help people should I. I'm meeting him next week to help him further. He also took a food parcel home with him.
It was then that I spoke to another disabled chap. Here is a brief outline of his situation, I'll name him Bob.
Bob is claiming the disability related element of universal credit. Bob was due to go into hospital for a hip operation and he informed the DWP of this. Thinking that everything was ok he went ahead with the operation.
A few months later he received a letter in the post from the DWP. It informed him that he was going to have to undergo a telephone compliance interview. Bob didn't have a clue why he was sent this letter but it worried him.
The day of the compliance interview arrived and the DWP asked him why he'd missed an appointment given to him whilst he was in hospital. They threatened him with a sanction but luckily he'd kept all the paperwork to prove that he was in hospital.
It gets worse for Bob.
Not long after the compliance interview Bobs mobile phone was stolen. He informed the DWP that he couldn't receive calls etc on his mobile phone because it'd been stolen.
Any reasonable organisation would have taken note of this and would act accordingly but not the DWP. They sanctioned him for three months because he couldn't answer phone calls etc because his phone had been stolen. You couldn't make this up could you.
Bobs only just started to receive his payments again, he told me that he was scarred for life, that he'd never felt as low as he did for the three months he was sanctioned.
Bob could and should have appealed their decision but he didn't know that he could do this, saying that he just accepted it and tried to struggle. He will be appealing any wrongful decision made by the DWP in the future.
It was then that I spoke to a lady I shall name Diane. Diane very proudly told me that she'd worked all of her adult life until she became ill and had to stop working and started to claim ESA.
Diane was then told that she needed to have an operation in the very near future so she informed the DWP. The DWP responded by stopping her ESA because she failed to attend a farcical DWP medical on the day of her operation.
Remember that Diane did inform the DWP that she was unable to attend the appointment but they stopped her ESA regardless. Luckily Diane knew that she could appeal this decision and she did. She appealed and then attended a tribunal and won.
Not content with this the DWP sent her another appointment for a farcical DWP medical examination. She attended and she failed. Diane appealed and went to her tribunal and won again.
Diane told me that the DWP treat her like scum, she knows that they hate her and she's lost any confidence that she once had. No one should be treated in this manner but it happens to thousands of people everyday. As we were talking we spotted two of our local Tory councillors entering the Tameside One building. Diane recognised them and said that it's their fault and their parties fault that she was being treated like this.
Diane's correct of course but they don't give a stuff, they deny anything like this is happening.
Meet Brian. Brian's an older chap who was handing his latest fit note in. He told me that he'd recently finished a CPC course and had a letter stating that he had a job offer if he can show them his CPC qualification.
Guess what, the DWP are refusing to help him and he's extremely frustrated about this. What Brian said next was quite poignant. "They do this because they have to justify their jobs, they have to justify their existence. Without people like me going into the Jobcentre they'd be out of a job themselves"
I noticed a man that I shall call Jack climbing the stairs to the Jobcentre and I asked him if he wanted one of our leaflets. He took one but he was angry, angry at the world, angry at himself because he feels like a failure. He told me that he'd been working for a local company and his employer was taking £50 a week off him supposedly for his tax payments.
Jacks payslips tell a different story though and basically he's being ripped off. I asked him to contact GM Law centre because they're interested in employment cases like these.
No wonder Jacks angry I'd be furious as well.
Last but not least we spotted an older chap walking towards us. I asked him if he needed a leaflet and he said that he didn't know so I asked him why.
His problem is this, he's 65 and living off his very meagre savings. I asked him why he hadn't made an application for benefits and he told me that he was too scared. He knows how awful the system is and he doesn't think that he'd be able to cope with it.
If this isn't bad enough he's recovering from cancer and has a big hernia that causes him a lot of pain. He lifted his top up and showed me the strapping round his lower waist that covers his hernia. "They'd declare me fit for work with this and the cancer, I'd rather struggle like this than have to go through that".
The amount of people that make the same decision up and down the country is enormous. It's a reliable bet that there's thousands of people that take themselves off they system and try to live another way. Many of these people become homeless and find it hard to escape their circumstances. To them it's less stressful than living on the street.
Other conversations that I had included questions about deposits for flats, not being able to eat whilst claiming universal credit and universal credit wants me to fail and how do I appeal DWP decisions etc.
The problems that occur whilst claiming universal credit appear to be never ending, once you get over one hurdle another appears and you have to climb another one.
Not one of the people that I speak to are 'scroungers' or 'waste of spaces'. They're lovely genuine people that are struggling due to no fault of their own. It angers me greatly when I see Tory mps and councillors laughing at us whenever anyone asks them questions on this subject. They think that it'll go away if they ignore it and pretend that it isn't happening. Most of them deny the very existence of our suffering and aren't scared of saying so.
The only way that we can stop their cruelty is to use your vote and vote them out because if we don't I honestly don't know how much more of this cruelty we can endure.
Needless to say we will be returning next week. Please come and join us if you're in the area it would be wonderful to see you.
Please read, share, tweet and email my blog. It's very important that we tell people that this is happening.

The best way to find your bra size is to take lots of bras into a stall with you and try them on. Try lots of different sizes, shapes and brands until you begin to find one that's best for you. At shops like Victoria's Secret, sales assistants can measure and fit you! There's no need to be embarrassed, they do it everyday!
If you would like to you can always measure yourself at home. That way when you go bra shopping you'll have an idea of what size bra you need to look for.
The first thing you need to know is how bra sizes are written. Bra sizes are written with a number then a letter. The number indicates how big the waist band is and the letter indicates the size of the cup. The smallest waist band there is, is 28 and the smallest cup size is AA. Although in some shops they don't go down this small. You shouldn't worry about the largest bra size, they get really big so you'll definitely find one that fits you!
Here are some steps to follow in finding your bra size! You will need an inches measuring tape!
♥ Step 1: While wearing only your bra measure under your bust.
♥ Step 2: While still wearing your bra measure the fullest part of your bust.
Here's a picture to make things easier.
♥ Step 3: Now follow your first measurement along the top row and your second measurement along the bottom row to find your bra size!
Always make sure you try on bras. This chart is only an indication as bras can differ from brand to brand.


Sinfonietta is a composition for 10 instruments and a conductor. It was written between August of 2013 and March of 2014. The length of Sinfonietta is approximately 14 minutes. This piece is an exploration of the musical idea presented at the beginning. The idea gradually develops, but it is left unsatisfied until the end. In the ending phrase, the idea is fully realized.

Il nicatore golagialla (Nicator vireo ) è un uccello passeriforme della famiglia Nicatoridae.

Etimologia
Il nome scientifico della specie, vireo, deriva dal latino e significa "io sono verde" (oltre a rappresentare in tardo latino il nome di un non meglio identificato uccelletto di colore verde, forse la femmina dell'oriolo), in riferimento alla livrea di questi uccelli.

Descrizione

Dimensioni
Misura 16-18 cm di lunghezza, per 21-26 g di peso.

Aspetto

Si tratta di uccelli dall'aspetto massiccio e slanciato, muniti di grossa testa ovale e allungata con becco conico forte e allungato dall'estremità vistosamente adunca, ali lunghe e digitate, zampe corte e sottili e coda piuttosto lunga e dall'estremità arrotondata.

Il piumaggio si presenta di colore verde oliva su faccia, calotta (fronte, vertice, nuca), dorso, ali e coda, con tendenza ad assumere sfumature di colore verde-giallastro su quest'ultima e sul codione, mentre le ali sono più scure e tendenti al bruno, con presenza sulla punta di copritrici e remiganti secondarie di una cospicua macchia arrotondata di colore bianco-giallino: guance, petto e bavetta sono di colore grigio (il secondo con infiltrazioni verdastre nell'area scapolare), mentre il sopracciglio e la gola (come intuibile dal nome comune sono gialli e l'area ventrale è biancastra, con sottocoda sfumato di giallino.

Becco e zampe sono di colore nerastro: gli occhi sono invece di colore bruno-scuro.

Biologia
Il nicatore golagialla è un uccello diurno e molto schivo, sebbene territoriale: questi uccelli vivono generalmente da soli o in coppie, passando la maggior parte della giornata fra la vegetazione arborea alla ricerca di cibo, pronti a nascondersi precipitosamente nel folto delle fronde al minimo segno di disturbo.

I richiami di questi uccelli consistono in serie di 8-11 note fischiati alte e rimbombanti, emesse quando l'animale è ben nascosto nel folto della vegetazione.

Alimentazione
Si tratta di uccelli insettivori, la cui dieta si compone in maggioranza di grossi insetti (ortotteri, mantidi, coleotteri) e delle loro larve, ma anche di altri artropodi e, sebbene sporadicamente, anche di bacche e di piccoli invertebrati.

Riproduzione
Nonostante l'osservazione di nidi (strutture a coppa molto piccole e grossolane, costruite con rametti intrecciati nel folto della vegetazione arborea o cespugliosa) e di esemplari in amore in periodi circoscritti, che vanno da ottobre a marzo, si pensa che questi uccelli abbiano stagione riproduttiva estesa a tutto l'anno: monogami, è la femmina ad occuparsi della costruzione del nido e della cova, mentre il maschio sorveglia i dintorni del nido ed imbecca la compagna impegnata con le operazioni legate all'evento riproduttivo, collaborando con essa nell'allevamento della prole.

Distribuzione e habitat
Il nicatore golagialla è diffuso in Africa centrale, occupando un areale che va dal Camerun sud-occidentale al nord-est dell'Angola, attraverso Repubblica Centrafricana sud-occidentale, Gabon, Rio Muni, Repubblica del Congo e basso bacino del fiume Congo: questi uccelli popolano inoltre la porzione orientale della provincia orientale ed il Kivu in Congo-Kinshasa, "sconfinando" ad est nell'Uganda sud-occidentale.

L'habitat di questi uccelli è costituito dalla foresta pluviale tropicale primaria: essi possono essere avvistati anche in ambienti più degradati ma in ripresa, come la foresta secondaria matura o le aree coltivate ed i campi da taglio abbandonati.

Press Release Sites is the best way to hire sufficient press release editing services to allow content to be submitted to various press release websites and even Google News. Prewritten press releases are common. One might have had someone write one in house. Some companies hire a writer. In either case, the text may not be suited for Google News just yet.
Press releases are the traditional way to get noticed in the press. One usually writes a press release with the hope that a radio station or newspaper will pick it up and carry it as a regular news story. The format used by the print media is somewhat different than that used by Google News. Many people want to be noticed online. Press releases that are correctly formatted will be syndicated to many websites. Those sites will provide back links and lift one up in the search engine results. However, they have to go through an appropriate press release editing process before they can get to this point. That's where Press Release Sites comes in.
Anyone who receives proper press release format can actually have Google News list their release as a regular piece of news. This is an excellent way to generate buzz, but its too risky to try press release editing on one's own. Its far better to hire a professional organization to handle press release editing. This group will stay in touch with its clients to ensure that it knows precisely what they need when they go out for press release distribution.

Awesome! I love the log at the end too, really cements the whole thing together. And for some reason, the idea of a lighthouse in the middle of nowhere really creeps me out, lol.

Sorts 18 May 2010 23:12
They could just be a little paranoid given the average life expectancy of retrieval teams around here, but that's a little meta for this one page. As a standalone it does seem odd that they'd pull an armed team out at the first sniff of weirdness—if they were expecting the possibility of losing a whole team so suddenly they'd not send in a bunch of armed men to begin with.
Like Photo said above, it's the way the team's equipment was retrieved that really puts this over the top.

Aelanna 19 May 2010 14:20
The reasoning, really, was that the initial team was just a "peek" team of undercover agents looking for incriminating documents or mostly mundane objects. Lightly armed and not carrying their full equipment, they probably weren't equipped to deal with severe paranormal activity. Hence the call for backup.

I got the 'peek team' idea from the log, so you're probably good there. Also, I just wanted to say: The log is really what makes this, good job on that.

I liked this and voted accordingly. One minor nitpick, though: I don't think they'd have gone in carrying an unloaded weapon, even for a quick "peek-and-grab" mission. Much more likely that they'd be armed but not readied. That way, if suddenly attacked it's just a matter of cocking and firing. If they don't have a magazine in, they have to grab one, load it in, THEN cock it. Two or three seconds can make an awfully big difference :)

Wolfgang Müller (* 15. Dezember 1901 in Bad Rehburg; † 6. Januar 1986 in Mettmann) war ein deutscher Offizier und Widerstandskämpfer des 20. Juli 1944.

Leben
Wolfgang Müller stammte aus einer Arztfamilie. 1912 trat er in das Königlich Preußische Kadettenkorps ein und war zunächst im Kadettenhaus Bensberg stationiert, später dann in der Hauptkadettenanstalt Groß-Lichterfelde, wo er auch sein Abitur ablegte.

1919 trat er dem Freikorps Landesjäger des Generals Maercker bei, wo er für die Überwachung linksradikaler Zeitungen zuständig war; 1920 erhielt er die Funktion eines Kompanietruppführers.

1921 wechselte Müller zur Infanterieschule München und wurde 1922 im Rang eines Leutnants in die Reichswehr übernommen. Von 1924 bis 1926 war er als Ausbilder der Schwarzen Reichswehr im Wehrkreiskommando IV tätig und unterwies unter anderem Angehörige des Jungstahlhelms sowie des Jungdeutschen Ordens.

Ab den 1930er Jahren stieg Müller permanent in der militärischen Hierarchie auf (1934 Beförderung zum Hauptmann, 1939 Major, 1941 Oberstleutnant und 1942 Oberst). Im Juni 1944 wurde er zum Abteilungschef der Infanterieabteilung des Oberkommandos des Ersatzheers in Döberitz ernannt.

Politisch hatte Müller während der Weimarer Republik konservativ-revolutionären Kräften aus dem Umfeld von Oswald Spengler, Otto Strasser, Ernst Niekisch und Ernst Jünger nahegestanden und sich antikapitalistisch, antiegalitär und antibürgerlich verstanden. Sein Verhältnis zum Nationalsozialismus, dessen Parteigängern in der Wehrmacht er "Bonzentum" unterstellte, war vor diesem Hintergrund gespannt. Als Bataillons- und Regimentskommandeur im Zweiten Weltkrieg lehnte er den Vernichtungskrieg gegen die Sowjetunion aber nicht ab. Seine Sympathien mit dem militärischen Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus wuchsen mit der sich verschlechternden militärischen Lage. Den Umsturzversuch am 20. Juli 1944 sollte Müller mit Truppen der Infanterieschule Döberitz unterstützen. Er wurde am 13. August 1944 von der Gestapo verhaftet und verbrachte fünf Wochen in Einzelhaft. Nach eigenen Angaben konnte er den Ausstoß aus der Wehrmacht nur durch Fürsprache General Heinz Guderians vermeiden. Hitler verfügte seine Degradierung zum Schützen, der Müller sich mit Glück entziehen konnte, indem er sich in den letzten Kriegsmonaten in mehreren Lazaretten aufhielt. Bei Kriegsende geriet er in britische Gefangenschaft, aus der er im März 1946 entlassen wurde.

Bereits in Kriegsgefangenenlagern hatte Müller Offiziere, die auf Distanz zum Nationalsozialismus gegangen waren, um sich geschart und eine Arbeitsgemeinschaft "Die Wahrheit" gebildet, gleichsam einen Prototyp der späteren Historischen Forschungsgemeinschaft "Das Andere Deutschland". Als deren Vorsitzender amtierte Müller ab 1948 und ab 1949 als  Geschäftsführer. Von 1947 bis 1949 arbeitete er auch an der Publikation Das Andere Deutschland mit. Parallel dazu war Müller von 1946 bis zu seinem Austritt 1950 stellvertretendes Ratsmitglied der Vereinigung der Verfolgten des Naziregimes.

Am 20. November 1951 beantragte Müller beim Amt Blank, bei der absehbaren Wiederbewaffnung berücksichtigt zu werden; sein Anliegen wurde aber abschlägig beschieden.

In den 1950er Jahren hatte Müller leitende Positionen in verschiedenen Vereinigungen der Verfolgten des nationalsozialistischen Regimes inne; 1955 wurde er mit der Adenauer-Gedenkmünze der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Demokratischer Kreise ausgezeichnet. Von 1957 bis 1967 war Müller als Chefredakteur der Wehrausbildung in Wort und Bild – Ausbildungszeitschrift der Unteroffiziere der Bundeswehr tätig und setzte sich als Unterstützer der SPD für die Bildung der Großen Koalition von 1966 ein.

Many of our clients are curious about what they can expect from the Medicare supplement policies that cover the Foreign Travel Emergency Benefit.
There are only 6 Medicare supplements offered today that fill in this gap, but it's important to understand this benefit has some limitations.
Plans C, D, F, G, M & N all cover Foreign Travel Emergency. There are no other Medicare supplement plans sold today that fill in this gap. If you travel extensively, then you may want to consider one of these six options or at the very least, High Deductible Plan F as it would cover this gap once the deductible has first been met.
Plans E, H, I & J also cover this benefit, but they are no longer for sale. If you purchased once of these four plans before June 1, 2010, then you are covered. Fortunately, these 10 total plans are the most commonly purchased Medicare supplements, so most people have this gap covered.
What Does Foreign Travel Emergency Actually Cover?
That is a good question. First, you have a $250 deductible. After the deductible has been met, then Plans, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J M and N pay 80% of medically necessary emergency care received outside of the U.S.
It is also important to note that their is a $50,000 lifetime limit on the amount this benefit will pay. This limit is something to be mindful of if you travel abroad frequently.
Should I Purchasing Health Insurance For Travel Abroad?
Maybe. If your trip will be longer than 60 days, it might be a good idea. Foreign Travel Emergency does not pay after day 60. You might also consider a separate short term health policy for travel abroad if you live outside of the country for more than a couple of months at a time.
You might also consider a separate policy if you are close to reaching the lifetime $50,000 limit. Or you might consider additional insurance if you travel frequently and just want piece of mind.
On the other hand, if you only take the occasional trip abroad once every year or so, then the above mentioned Medicare supplement plans should be fine. The benefits provided should be enough to get you on the mend and home again where you can receive care in the U.S. if needed.
Hyers and Associates is a full service, independent insurance agency. We specialize in plans that supplement Medicare as well as health insurance coverage for those who travel abroad. We can help you find the plans that will best fit your needs and budget. Contact us today for quotes and information.

My son is two now.
Two years I've spent loving him, holding him, wishing so many good things for him.
Some mothers wish the world for their babies, but the world that we live in was, quite literally, made for my son. Being white and male alone will give him advantages many will never have.
If I could wish one thing for my son, it wouldn't be the world.
If I could wish one thing for him, it would be that he would know that this world is not his for the taking. He isn't entitled to anything, or anyone, ever.
I wish for him to recognize the importance of working hard and being honest.
I wish for him to recognize that an archaic system exists that stands to benefit him based on mere circumstances he does not control, but that does not make him a bad person. It does not make him responsible for the past wrongdoings of others long before him, but he does have a responsibility as to how he uses this advantage.
I wish for him to desire to use his privilege for good and to benefit others.
I wish for him to have the discernment of when to step up, when to step back, and when to step down.
I wish for him to stay gentle, loving, and attentive to others, and to know that those traits are not in opposition to being male.
I wish for him to embrace the title of feminist, but even moreso, embrace the qualities, attributes, and vision that go with it.
I wish for him to understand that strength is not the absence of weakness, but in knowing your weaknesses and persevering anyway, working to overcome them. I want him to know that strength is not measured by the loud or grandiose, and that it's okay to be quiet.
I want him to know it's okay to not get the last word in. It's okay to not be right.
I wish for him to know that good will ultimately triumph over evil. I want him to have the hope that comes with knowing this. I want him to channel that hope into action and desire to bring about good himself.
I wish for him to be true to himself, always.
And if I could wish one thing for myself, I would wish that I can do enough to teach him all that he needs to know.

Infectious Disease > COVID-19
CMS Sets Path for Resuming Elective Surgeries as COVID-19 Eases
— Agency also will require nursing homes to report COVID-19 cases to CDC, patients, and families
by Joyce Frieden, News Editor, MedPage Today April 20, 2020
WASHINGTON -- Healthcare facilities should be able to begin performing elective procedures again if they follow certain protocols, according to guidelines released Sunday by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Although many hospitals and health systems have quickly set up telehealth services to address non-urgent medical issues, "the reality is that not everything can be addressed by telehealth," CMS administrator Seema Verma said at a briefing held by the White House's coronavirus task force, citing breast cancer surgery and cataract surgery as two examples of elective procedures that can't be put off for too long.
With some hospitals around the country seeing a decline in COVID-19 cases and reporting unused capacity, "we're issuing guidelines today about how we can re-open the healthcare system; these are recommendations around Phase 1," Verma said, referring to the administration's "Guidelines for Opening Up America Again." That guidance outlines a stepped approach to resuming normal activities based on trajectories of syndromic illnesses, diagnosed cases, need for hospital "crisis care," and testing availability.
"Every state and local official has to assess the situation on the ground," she said. "They need to be able to screen patients and healthcare workers for the COVID virus, and we need to make sure that patients feel safe when they come in to seek healthcare services by showing they have the appropriate cleaning in place and that they observe social distancing inside the healthcare facilities." Verma added that this will be a gradual process in which "healthcare systems across the country need to decide what services should be available. We want to make sure systems are reopening so they can stay open, and doing that in a very measured way."
The new CMS guidelines specify that "non-COVID-19 care should be offered to patients as clinically appropriate and within a state, locality, or facility that has the resources to provide such care and the ability to quickly respond to a surge in COVID-19 cases, if necessary. Decisions should be consistent with public health information and in collaboration with state public health authorities."
Once the facility has reopened to patients needing elective procedures, "evaluate the necessity of the care based on clinical needs," the guidelines state. "Providers should prioritize surgical/procedural care and high-complexity chronic disease management; however, select preventive services may also be highly necessary."
As for getting the practice ready to accept patients, "Consider establishing Non-COVID Care (NCC) zones that would screen all patients for symptoms of COVID-19, including temperature checks. Staff would be routinely screened as would others who will work in the facility (physicians, nurses, housekeeping, delivery and all people who would enter the area)," according to the guidelines. "Sufficient resources should be available to the facility across phases of care, including PPE [personal protective equipment], healthy workforce, facilities, supplies, testing capacity, and post-acute care, without jeopardizing surge capacity."
In addition to a NCC zone for screening, the guidelines recommend that "in a region with a current low incidence rate ... the facility should create areas of NCC which have in place steps to reduce risk of COVID-19 exposure and transmission; these areas should be separate from other facilities to the degrees possible (i.e., separate building, or designated rooms or floor with a separate entrance and minimal crossover with COVID-19 areas)."
"Within the facility, administrative and engineering controls should be established to facilitate social distancing, such as minimizing time in waiting areas, spacing chairs at least 6 feet apart, and maintaining low patient volumes," the authors write. "Visitors should be prohibited, but if they are necessary for an aspect of patient care, they should be pre-screened in the same way as patients."
The guidelines also address PPE for patients and staff. "CMS recommends that healthcare providers and staff wear surgical facemasks at all times. Procedures on the mucous membranes including the respiratory tract, with a higher risk of aerosol transmission, should be done with great caution, and staff should utilize appropriate respiratory protection such as N95 masks and face shields. Patients should wear a cloth face covering that can be bought or made at home if they do not already possess surgical masks."
The American Hospital Association (AHA) praised the guidelines. "We welcome and support today's guidance from the CMS, which complements the work that the AHA has been doing with other partners in the health field, including the American College of Surgeons, the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses ," AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack said in an emailed statement.
"This CMS guidance is clearly focused on addressing important health care needs for non-COVID patients, with decisions being made by providers in collaboration with local and state public health leaders. CMS also rightly expects hospitals and health systems to maintain the flexibility needed to quickly respond to a surge should one occur in their community, and to maintain separate caregivers and locations within a facility for non-COVID care."
In addition to the elective surgery guidelines, CMS also said it will soon issue new transparency rules for nursing homes. "It's important that nursing home patients and their families have the information they need," said Verma. "We're requiring nursing homes to report to patients and families if there are cases of coronavirus inside the nursing home. We're also requiring them to report directly to the CDC when they have cases of coronavirus."
"Current requirements ... and CDC guidance specify that nursing homes notify state or local health department about residents or staff with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, residents with severe respiratory infection resulting in hospitalization or death, or ≥3 residents or staff with new-onset respiratory symptoms within 72 hours of each other," noted a memo issued Sunday to state survey agency directors from the director of CMS's Quality, Safety, & Oversight Group.
"At present, these data are not collected by CMS, CDC, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) ... The required collection of this information will be used to support surveillance of COVID-19 locally and nationally, monitor trends in infection rates, and inform public health policies and actions," and it will be available to the public.

In ihren eigenen Worten:
"Our principles
• Liberty of peoples, communities, and individuals to associate in order to live according to their beliefs, their customs, and their conscience.
• The nobility of humanity lies in its quest for knowledge, beauty, and strength. The meaning of human life is to act in fulfillment of this quest.*
• We advocate the formation of fraternal communities in order to fight actively against the social and spiritual standardization of industrial society.
• We oppose uniformizing globalism in all its forms and the financial, political, and religious lobbies that serve as its relay stations.
• We see in nature the intelligent forces of life in action. We oppose practices and sciences that violate the natural order.
* Nous nous inscrivons ainsi dans le courant platonicien, qui formula cette quête de noblesse comme la recherche du Vrai, du Beau et du Bien: intelligence, beauté et force."
"Our initiative
We start from the observation that individualism is the worst ill that afflicts Westernized man. We note that today's culture, thought, and technology reinforce this individualism to an ever increasing degree, in total contradiction to the spiritual and political principles we have defined.
We watch the mutation of man into a citizen of the world without cultural roots or a true religious spirit. This citizen is isolated in the mass of his fellows, with whom he shares only the pleasures, frustrations, and financial anxiety of the consumer.
Turning our backs on this culture of zombifying individualism, we have organized ourselves in a fraternal clan. We thus demonstrate our freedom to associate for the purpose of sharing a worthy human life. We no longer wait passively for an electoral victory that will in any case be incapable of changing society as profoundly as it needs to be changed. Witnessing the robotization of man into a consuming automaton, we see the clan as the only way to escape being crushed by the social machinery of industrial society.
Our clan is made up of about ten families working together to support themselves. By an intelligent division of resources, we manage to free up time and energy to live in accordance with our spiritual principles and values. That is the goal of true civilization, which aims to lift human intelligence higher than bestial fear for survival and robotic unconsciousness.
The clan is the level of social organization between the family and the nation. It is the soil in which the culture and identity we have lost will germinate. It is up to us to awaken the cultural forces now asleep in the West and everywhere else Americanization has struck. Today, to defend European culture and the true interests of France, we must band together to demonstrate, on a daily basis, the free, rich, brotherly life that was once the glory of our civilization."

Refugees secretly flooding into these U.S. states
Posted by Raising Up A Standard on July 23, 2016 at 2:27pm
Source: Refugees secretly flooding into these states
Despite more reports in recent weeks about Muslim "refugees" raping and attacking people in the U.S. and Europe, President Obama has ramped up his Syrian refugee program – delivering 625 to U.S. cities in one week and crossing the 6,000 mark for total Syrians who have entered the country since October.
With a little over two months before the Sept. 30 deadline to fulfill his promise to the United Nations to resettle 10,000 Syrians, Obama has delivered 6,227 Syrian migrants to 38 states and dozens of cities.
That means more than 1,000 have arrived just since July 1.
Of the 6,227 total who arrived since Oct. 1, 2015, only 23 have been Christian and 10 Yazidi. All the of the remaining 6,194 Syrians, more than 98 percent, have been Sunni Muslim. That's the same sect that makes up the ranks of ISIS, al-Nusra Front and other groups that are viciously persecuting Christians in Syria.
Michigan, California, Arizona, Texas and Illinois are the top five states for numbers of Syrian refugees received so far in fiscal 2016. These refugees are hand-selected by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to be permanently resettled in the U.S.
Only 12 states and the District of Columbia have not received any Syrian refugees so far in fiscal 2016. Those states include Alaska, Alabama, Delaware, Arkansas, Hawaii, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming and West Virginia.
Wyoming is the only state that does not participate in the federal refugee program. Montana has been among the states being eyed for future resettlement of Syrians. A resettlement office has been opened there but so far no Syrians have arrived.
More than 99 percent of the Syrians being permanently resettled in the U.S. are Muslim, with less than 1 percent being Christian.
The U.S. resettled 1,682 Syrians in fiscal year 2015 and only 105 in 2014.
The 10,000 Syrian refugees coming in fiscal 2016 are in addition to the 75,000 refugees being delivered to U.S. cities and towns from all other countries. They come from Somalia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq, Burma, Bosnia, Congo and many other countries. The refugee drop-offs are done in almost total secrecy, often without the knowledge of even the mayor or schools superintendent.
WND reported last week that in Lowell, Massachusetts, a 13-year-old girl was twice groped at a public pool July 7 by a 22-year-old man freshly imported into the community from Syria as a "refugee."
The city manager of Lowell told his local newspaper Tuesday that he was not even notified by the U.S. State Department or its resettlement contractor that Syrians were being delivered to his community.
Is your city a Syrian destination?
Cities receiving Syrian refugees over the past nine months include the following:
Arizona: Glendale, Tucson, Phoenix
California: San Diego, Sacramento, Los Angeles
Connecticut: New Haven, Hartford, New Britain, Stratford, West Haven
Florida: Tampa, Clearwater, Jacksonville, Del Ray Beach, Palm Beach, Miami, Orlando, Kissimmee, Lauderdale Lakes, Opa-Locka, Pensacola and Tallahassee

Washington: Spokane, Seattle, Richland, Kent
Wisconsin: Oshkosh, Sheboygan, Milwaukee, Madison.
One city listed above that has received Syrian Muslims, Palm Beach, Florida justarrested 3 Muslims who had a Syrian contact.
Where Muslims migrate, mosques are built. Where mosques are, sharia and jihad are preached. Where sharia and jihad are preached, freedom of non-Muslims erodes quickly and terrorists are bred. Your town or city is next.

2019-20 National League | 18U Girls Preview
PLAYER NOTES SChedule History & REcords
The 18U Girls Black Division has several accomplished teams, highlighted by the defending US Youth Soccer National Champion, Cleveland FC 02 (OH-N). Cleveland qualified for Nationals by winning last year's Black Division title, as the Ohio North side earned six wins and a draw during the National League season. It will look to replicate that success in 2019-20, as Cleveland looks to repeat its Black Division title and earn a chance to defend its National Championship.
Another team that is looking to earn a berth back to Nationals is Team Boca 2002 White (FL). The Florida side showed off its potential at the US Youth Soccer Southern Regional Championships, as it conceded just one goal while scoring 19 during the tournament in Baton Rouge, La. That performance helped Team Boca claim the Regional title, and it will look to continue that balanced play this year in the National League.
Solar (TX-N) is heading into the upcoming season after winning the US Youth Soccer Frontier Conference FPDL with a 10-2-1 record. The defense keyed Solar's success, as it allowed just six goals in its 13 conference games. Fullerton Rangers G02 White (CA-S) had similar league format success while finishing on top of its group in the US Youth Soccer Pacific Conference.
Meanwhile, New Jersey Rush 02 Grey (NJ) is looking to finish on top of the Black Division after a couple of close calls in previous years. The New Jersey side has finished second in its National League division each of the last two seasons, and is also coming off a semifinal appearance at the 2019 US Youth Soccer Eastern Regional Championships.
With plenty of past National League triumphs within its club, Legends FC 02 Academy II (CA-S) is ready to compete for the 18U Girls Blue Division title this season. Legends is coming off a run to the semifinals of the 2019 National Championships and a title at the US Youth Soccer Far West Regional Championships. At the regional in Boise, Idaho, the Cal South side recorded four shutouts, and five of its six wins came by multiple goals.
Another Blue Division team looking to earn its way back to Nationals is HMMS Eagle FC 02 Impact (PA-E). HMMS strung together four wins and a draw in West Virginia to claim the Eastern Regional Championship. Prior to that, the Eastern PA side had a strong showing in its Conference, so it should be ready to test itself against top competition in a league format.
A few other teams with past league success will be among those aiming for the Blue Division title. Sparta FC 02 Elite (TX-N) won the Frontier Conference Premier I Division with a 5-0-2 record, and it followed that performance by making a run to the Southern Regional Championships final. Similarly, 02 CISC North (NC) was a Southern Regional quarterfinalist after winning the US Youth Soccer Piedmont Conference with 10 wins and a draw in its 11 matches. Meanwhile, STA 2002 USYS (NJ) went 7-0-1 to win a tight race in the Club vs. Club Division of the US Youth Soccer Mid Atlantic EDP Conference — making it one of several teams looking to replicate past league success during this year's Blue Division action.
The smallest margins often separate the top teams in the National League. Should that be the case in the 18U Girls Red Division, Pipeline SC 02 Pre-Academy (MD) will be ready. Last season, the Maryland side won a tight Blue Division in which one point separated each of the top six spots in the standings. Pipeline carried the momentum of its National League title to the National Championships, where it advanced to the final match. With a first-place finish in the US Youth Soccer South Atlantic EDP Conference Club vs. Club Division also on its résumé, Pipeline has plenty of experience in league formats.
Plenty of other Red Division teams are coming off strong conference seasons, as well. CFC Tammany Tigers 02/03 (LA), Sunrise Prime FC 2002 X1 (FL) and WA Timbers 02 Red 1 (OR) each won their respective Conferences before advancing to the quarterfinals of their respective Regional Championships. Additionally, Beadling 02G Showcase (PA-W) finished first in the US Youth Soccer Great Lakes Conference Premier I Division, making it one of several teams with recent success in league formats.
Meanwhile, Nationals Union 02 Black (MI) is coming off a trip to the National Championships as the Midwest Regional representative. The Michigan side advanced to the semifinals of the tournament in Saginaw, Mich., and then earned a shutout victory in a play-in match to punch its ticket to the National Championships. Nationals Union will look to improve on its third-place finish in the National League from a season ago as it looks to earn a trip back to Nationals through the Red Division.
The 18U Girls White Division features several teams looking to take the next step after narrowly missing out on some first-place finishes a season ago. They'll all need to overtake North Shore United 2002 Blue (WI), which is coming off a White Division title and a 2019 Midwest Regional Championship. The Wisconsin side compiled one of the largest goal differentials in National League history while going 6-0-1 last season. In addition to its triumphs in the league and at Regionals, North Shore also won the US Youth Soccer Midwest Conference Premier I Division with an 8-0-1 mark.
After a strong showing in the US Youth Soccer Mid South Conference, NUSA 02 Maroon (TN) made a run to the semifinals of the Southern Regional Championships — showing it can string together results in both league and tournament formats. It will look to improve on those results and add a first-place finish this season.
PSA National 02 Girls (NJ) came one point short of a National League division title last season, and it also finished one game out of first place in the Mid Atlantic EDP Conference Club vs. Club Division. With that experience and knowing the impact each result can have during league play, PSA should be locked in and ready to go when White Division action kicks off.
