We provide an overview of being a single mother in the United States, followed by reviewing potential sources of emergency cash for single mothers.
In this article, we provide an overview of being a single mother in the United States, followed by reviewing potential sources of emergency cash for single mothers and listing a few tips that should help single mothers rely less on short-term funding.
The numbers are staggering. In the United States, there are nearly 10 million families led by a single mother. According to the United States Department of Labor, the unemployment rate for single mothers hovers around 25 percent. The ridiculously high percentage means more than two million single mothers at any given time are unemployed. Federal government statistics do not take into account the additional millions of single mothers that are underemployed, which is defined as someone that has a job but works in a position below her professional qualifications.
It is one thing to be a single mother raising a teen; it is quite another thing for a single mother to raise an infant. Not only are the parenting obligations much more significant, but single mothers of infants also have to deal with myriad financial emergencies that often stem from health care issues. With almost 70 percent of infants born to single mothers under the age of 30, we have a recipe for a major financial calamity.
Single mothers of young children have to deal with paying for daycare, which can run thousands of dollars per year. Add to daycare the large list of medical expenses, from mandated inoculations to taking care of common colds, and single mothers have little or no chance of winning the battle with money. Desperation sets in, with many single mothers taking out questionable bank loans or maxing out credit cards to raise emergency cash.
Fortunately, single mothers – even the 40 percent who are below the poverty line – have several effective options for raising emergency cash. The methods we suggest do not require taking out loans that include exorbitant interest rates or pawning off valuable possession to meet a rent or mortgage payment.
The reasons for generating emergency cash for single mothers vary depending on the severity of the financial crisis. As a single mother, you might need just an overdraft loan to help pay a utility bill. On the other hand, the loss of a job requires the implementation of emergency cash plans that have financial staying power.
Let's assume you receive a two-week unemployment notice or something along a similar line that gives you at least some time to prepare for a major financial setback. One of the most effective ways to raise emergency cash for single mothers involves planning and holding a multiple day garage sale. Planning involves selecting the personal items you want to put up for sale, as well as choosing the best weekend to hold the sale. You also need to figure out the times you want to be open for business. Holding a yard sale to generate emergency cash for single mothers may help you avoid needing to borrow a cash advance or payday loan.
Single mothers can address emergency cash needs by taking on a second job. Yes, this requires you to perform more scheduling miracles than you do now. However, a second job not only helps chip away at costly emergency expenses, but it also acts as a security buffer in case you lose your primary source of income. You can also do what you did when during childhood and adolescence by performing odd jobs for friends, neighbors, and relatives. Picking up a few lawn cutting or snow shoveling customers can ease the financial burden caused by the need to raise emergency cash for single mothers.
If you are one of the majority of single others under the age of 30, you probably do not have the option of putting your kids to work performing odd jobs. However, there are still millions of single mothers that raise teenagers. Even if your kid is not eligible to work because of age restrictions, he or she can help out by cutting grass, shoveling snow, and walking dogs that live nearby in the neighborhood. If you have one or more kids that are age eligible to work, you can generate extra cash to take care of emergency expenses.
Although cashing in financial investments to raise emergency cash for single mothers might not gain the seal of approval from the financial gurus on television, it is an effective way to increase cash flow, without resorting to taking out a high-interest short-term loan. We recommend starting with any certificate of deposits (CDs) you own and then move on to stocks and bonds if you need more cash to handle emergency expenses. Just remember that liquidating short-term assets can trigger bank fees, as well as state and federal tax penalties. Use this strategy if you need to raise cash for today or tomorrow.
If you purchased a whole life insurance policy some time ago, you might have accrued enough equity in the policy to access emergency cash. Consider the equity in a life insurance policy like a loan that does not require you to pay taxes. You can also cash out the entire value of a life insurance policy, but tax obligations might kick in and more importantly, you lose the coverage protecting your children.
Instead of having to plan a yard sale or work more hours at a second job, taking out an overdraft loan can be the financial cure for what ails you. Your bank or credit union must offer the service called overdraft protection on your checking account, which allows you to pay a utility bill or purchase a weekly allowance of food by writing a check that otherwise would come back with the word "void." Make sure to verify what your bank or credit union charges for interest on an overdraft loan. One more caveat: you can lose the checking account if you do not pay back the overdraft loan in a timely manner.
According to Pew Research, 22 percent of estranged fathers see their kids more than one time a week. The average amount paid in monthly child support is around $300. Single mothers assume a huge financial responsibility that requires meticulous planning and a bold vision on how to sustain a prosperous lifestyle. Somehow though, single mothers rarely hear about one of the most important financial tips of all.
Earn as much money as you can.
Most single mothers already find themselves in precarious financial situations. This means single mothers must take chances to stay above tumultuous financial waters. Instead of becoming complacent in your current job, spend time outside of work learning new skills that make you more valuable to prospective employers. Consider earning a college degree or if you already have a diploma, shoot for the career stars by enrolling in an advanced degree program. Starting your own business represents another way to achieve financial independence.
Let's review some other ways single mothers can achieve financial independence.
The first order of business is to spend time revising the family budget to reflect spending priorities. Instead of allocating part of the weekly paycheck to dining out and taking in a few movies at an expensive cinema, pare down the family budget by cooking at home and watching movies you rent or stream. Your family budget should include an emergency savings fund that helps you navigate future financial crises.
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of creating a family emergency fund to reduce the financial pressure of a major crisis. Some employers allow employees to contribute to monthly accounts that offer access to emergency funds when the time comes for addressing major financial commitments. You should make establishing an emergency family fund one of your top priorities. Try to contribute to the emergency fund every month.
One of the most effective strategies to avoid falling into greater debt is to reduce debt whenever possible. Although you should carry one credit card to have access to emergency cash, you should stop using the credit card to make purchases that charge you exorbitant interest. Reduce your credit balances by making monthly payments and purchase household items that you need, not want, by using cash. Eliminate other types of debt, such as car and student loans, to free up more monthly cash for family savings.
Daycare is an expensive monthly expense for single mothers. Your employer might offer free daycare, or you can shop for a facility that falls within the family budget. However, chances are the best way to save money on daycare is to lean on friends and relatives to watch your children while you pursue a career. Free daycare can result in just a couple hours out of every day, but the savings add up quickly to give you a larger fund for taking care of emergency expenses down the road.
The apparent convenience of applying for a short-term loan may appeal to you. Payday lenders may not perform credit checks (though most usually do), and the approval process can take only a few minutes. In as soon as one business day, you can have cash in your checking account.
However, payday loans may not be your best option for fast cash. Many loan providers charge higher interest rates for this type of funding. You might enjoy a temporary financial stay, but the money borrowed can be very expensive to pay back.
Single mothers hoping to avoid financial instability likely won't be able to do so through a few money management tips. It is a lot harder than that. Life throws numerous unexpected financial obstacles that can spoil even the best set plans. By preparing for the financial version of Murphy's Law, single mothers may be able to find emergency cash.

Monophonic power amplifier carefully finished from the idea "the amplifier for having a music intoxicated."
It returns to the origin of the amplifier design of "amplifying an input signal faithfully and reproducing as an output signal", and the "new super linear circuit" which acquires a property without applying NFB is developed and carried. This banished TIM distortion from the origin and the stability in a high region is secured.
Distortion of switching distortion, crossover distortion, etc. serves as Class-A power amplifier which is not generated theoretically, and the power-source scheme original with M5 which prepared the exclusive power source in Class-A biases is adopted.
By having raised the efficiency ratio of the power source, there is not too much exothermic made into the difficulty of Class-A amplifier.
It puts into practice among all the component partses and constructions, the study is added, the technology which it can have is poured in, and the highest component partses are developed and selected carefully and are used.
The power transformer is designed in quest of the implementation of low leakage flux and the stable regulation.
First, the oxygen-free-high-conductivity-copper line by which polyesters clothing was carried out is adopted as a coil. This coil has improved the regulation by giving the twice as many cross section as this compared with a general thing, and is also suppressing the temperature rise in the one-half. Furthermore, the improvement in S/N is realized by adopting the toroidal scheme which has an effect in a falloff of leakage flux.
In the transformer case, using the resin which are the body not conducting current and non-magnetic material, the silicon carbide powder of a radio-wave absorber is mixed in a fill, and distortion is suppressed. Moreover, the oscillation is reduced by carrying out the floating of the main unit of a transformer from a chassis with rubber.
In order for - quantity region to riot and to prevent a resonance while originating in the structure of a film capacitor, the newly developed film capacitor for pure audios is adopted. tandelta (dielectric loss) has a small polycarbonate and the high degree of insulation, and the material of a film has a compound structure of polypropylene excellent in the RF property. The resonance is prevented by winding this up firmly with a low speed and a high tension, losing wrinkles and stress, and making full use of a still more nearly special volume core and a heat-shrink resin. Moreover, in order to prevent the influence of an external electric field, the double shielding is given with the electric conduction resin case and the electric conduction resin tube.
4 core power cord for audios which added and developed the study from the origin of the power cord is adopted.
By using the high oxygen-free-high-conductivity-copper line of a conductometric for a conductor, this power cord reduced the loss in the wire rod, and has achieved the nonlinear extensive distorted modification. Furthermore, the cross interferencee of two power transformers was suppressed and the reduction of source impedance is realized.
Moreover, the polyethylene with a low dielectric constant is adopted as an insulator. This reduced the loss and the conductor oscillation is prevented.
In order to be stabilized and to supply the high power of 300W to a speaker, the large-sized output-terminal is newly carried.
The opening for a code interconnection is made large with 3.8x14mm, and makes the speaker cable of the very thick the interconnection possible. Moreover, the connection method with a code serves as a vice type which sticks a code by pressure by the plate of two sheets which carried out the knurling tool manipulation of the inside.
The gilding manipulation is performed to the contact surface and the stability and the robustness are improved.
The fuse for audios which added the study to material etc. anew and was developed is adopted as a fuse.
Conductor resistance is suppressed to about 1/3 by changing mouthpiece material into a pure copper from the conventional brass. Furthermore, it changed into the pure gold group from the composition, and the nonlinearity between the heterogeneous metalses generated inside the composition is improved.
Furthermore, nickel plating which is ferromagnetic material was changed into the tin plating which is non-magnetic material, and a magnetic distortion is banished.
The glass epoxy group board developed in audios is adopted as a substrate, and the nonlinearity is improved by leaps and bounds by using oxygen free high conductivity copper of 99.99% of a purity. Moreover, by changing old 35micro copper into 280micro thick copper, conductor resistance is pressed down to one eighth and the transmit of the stable signal is enabled.
By adopting the glass epoxy group board excellent in the wetproof property, the transition of the electrostatic capacity in a Copper foil was suppressed to the relative minimum, and the leakage in a circuitry is prevented.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie 'finalize' divorce
Pitt had previously admitted his drinking became a "problem" after the breakdown of his marriage.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce is being "finalised".
The couple announced their separation in September 2016 and after a lengthy court battle, they have reportedly agreed to share custody of their six children – Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 11, and nine-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox – and agreed other terms of their divorce too.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "The terms of the divorce are now agreed. They are being finalised by both legal teams, but will be filed within weeks. It's a huge turnaround from where the marriage ended, especially given the claims Angelina made against Brad, but they are now on pretty good terms.
"Both decided it was crucial for the children that they had a respectful relationship. The key thing is that they agree to custody sharing, with Brad having access and working with Angelina on logistic issues about work and travel. There were rumours the divorce was being called off, but that's not the case."
Meanwhile, it was previously claimed that Brad goes to therapy every week following his bitter split from Angelina.
The insider shared: "He goes to therapy every week and is mostly interested in learning and bettering himself as a man and father.
"Brad doesn't go out much with the kids or leave the house. But Brad would definitely like to spend more time with them than he does. He prefers to keep things very private and safe. It's his sanctuary and just being there is where he finds peace. He has projects around the house and is always making things or changing things around."
The Moneyball star had previously admitted his drinking became a "problem" after the breakdown of his marriage.
He said: "I can't remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn't boozing or had a spliff, or something. Something. And you realise that a lot of it is, um – cigarettes, you know, pacifiers. And I'm running from feelings. I'm really, really happy to be done with all of that. I mean I stopped everything except boozing when I started my family. But even this last year, you know – things I wasn't dealing with. I was boozing too much. It's just become a problem.

Hospitals in the region opened drop-in clinics today following increase
Number of confirmed cases in Swansea has risen to 588
Up to 20 new cases a day are being reported by GPs
Around 3,800 children in area have still not had the MMR vaccine
By JILL REILLY
PUBLISHED: 15:22, 6 April 2013 | UPDATED: 17:44, 6 April 2013
More than 1,000 people queued outside special vaccination clinics in south Wales offering MMR jabs in a desperate bid to halt the measles epidemic.
Following an increase in the number of confirmed cases in the area, parents were urged to vaccinate their children, and today four hospitals in the Swansea region opened drop-in clinics.
Parents were seen lining up outside the Paediatric Outpatient department at Morriston Hospital this morning an hour before the doors even opened.
Determined: Long queues have formed outside several south Wales hospitals offering MMR jabs to halt the Swansea measles epidemic
Patient: Oliver Corteen, aged 11 months, is held in his father's arms as they queue
Urge: Following an increase in the number of confirmed cases of a measles in south Wales, parents in the area were urged to vaccinate their children
Lined up: Parents and children queue outside the Paediatric Outpatient department at Morriston Hospital in Swansea
The number of confirmed cases of measles in the Swansea epidemic has risen to 588, according to health officials in Wales.
20 cases of measles a day are now being diagnosed in Swansea epidemic
The latest figures show that 40 new cases of the disease have been diagnosed since Wednesday.
Up to 20 new cases a day are being reported by GPs, with 109 new ones in a week over the Easter period.
Health officials have estimated around 3,800 children in the Swansea area have still not had the MMR vaccine and parents are being asked to act.
Vaccination: Lauren Durbin, aged 10 months, is given an MMR injection by Sister Sian Owen today
Injection: Kieran Elford, aged 13, is given an MMR injection following the epidemic
Dr Marion Lyons, Director of Health Protection for Public Health Wales, said: 'The alarming numbers of cases of measles and continuing spread of the disease in Wales illustrates how vital it is for parents to get their children vaccinated.
'Unvaccinated children aged between six and 12 months living in or travelling to the outbreak areas of Swansea and Neath Port Talbot can be offered vaccination by their GP.
'There's no adverse effect to this extra jab and those children would still need to receive the recommended two doses at 13 months and three years four months.'
Rise: The latest figures show that 40 new cases of the disease have been diagnosed since Wednesday
Dr Lyons added that increasing numbers of people coming forward for the MMR vaccination was encouraging – with just under 600 people in the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board area alone receiving an unscheduled MMR vaccine in the past seven days.
'We are really pleased to see that 586 people have proactively got the MMR vaccine over the past week, on top of those already scheduled to have it,' she added.
'Though this is a good start, there are still thousands of children who have not had both doses of the MMR jab and so are still at risk from becoming infected with the potentially fatal measles virus.
'The risk to unvaccinated children in Wales is increasing as the disease spreads.
'You only need one or two people who haven't had the vaccination in a community to put at risk babies, toddlers and anyone else who is vulnerable, such as children with leukaemia who cannot have the vaccination and pregnant women who haven't been vaccinated.
'Ninety per cent of children receiving one dose of MMR are very quickly protected against measles. For those completing the recommended two-dose course of MMR, 99 per cent of children will be protected against measles.'
She warned: 'Their health is dependent on those with whom they have close contact being fully protected against measles so that it cannot spread to them.
The number of confirmed cases of measles (pictured) in the Swansea epidemic has risen to 588, Public Health Wales has confirmed
'The current pattern of cases and spread of illness indicates that this outbreak is likely to continue into the summer months and the risks to unvaccinated individuals will increase as more people become infected.
'Protection against the risk of measles by getting MMR vaccination is safe, simple and effective.'
Drop-in MMR vaccination clinics are being held by Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board between 10am and 4pm on Saturday April 6 at Morriston Hospital, Singleton Hospital, the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend and the Paediatric Outpatients at Neath Port Talbot Hospital.
No appointments are necessary. Children and adolescents who have not had their scheduled MMR jabs will be targeted, but officials say 'no-one will be turned away, including adults'.

'Fetuses and blood all over the place': Medic's graphic account of 'be-heading live babies' at abortion 'House of Horrors' in Philadelphia	"Why don't they respect us"
Our fascist news service across all channels is earnestly telling us that MMR is safe because the claims against it were all discredited years ago. Yes, they were discredited in the eyes of the public in that the whole fascist medical establishment came out and said the claims are rubbish and Dr Wakefield is a shifty nutter, but they didn't medically prove anything.
Meanwhile the US Supreme Court ruled that measels vaccinations do cause autism and awarded millions of dollars in compensation.
But we live in a country that is so much more fascist than even the US that our poor, brainwashed, idiot people are queuing up to have their children injected with mercury, aluminium, formaldehide and autism.
The news fascists should be hanged first, so they don't even get the pleasure of reporting the hanging of the bankers.
Kevin Mitchell
MMR can increase the risk of autism. I know someone and thier son has autism after having MMR jab as a young child. I won´t let my kids have, even the child nurse and doctor recommend they have it.
PLebHouse
This really concerns me. As a parent of a high risk 6 month old baby living near Bristol, I worry we are too close to the outbreak to be safe enough. I refuse to give my baby a potentially deadly cocktail regardless of whether the original fuss surrounding MMR was discredited or not! Yet despite all the .gov sites in all the countries stating that given before 9 to 12 months the MMR jab could be ineffective (due to still having mothers antibodies), doctors here are now recommending babies at 6 months being jabbed. This means baby would have to have this lethal mix a minimum 3 times! How is that possible good for baby???!?! Yet we are told by Spivey's favourite rag that single measles vaccinations are now unlicensed in the UK. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14303/Single-measles-jab-facts.html). As a concerned parent, what am I meant to do?
Am now in my 60's but remember very well having measles as a kid. It was common for kids to get all manner of the usual childhood illnesses while at school and most were regarded as a blessing in disguise because we naturally produce anti-bodies as a result and therefore become stronger. We never had vaccine for measles and although an unpleasant illness for 8/10 days we were merely given lots of TLC and smothered in Calamine lotion and guess what?….it worked!. Funny how TPTB nowadays always demonise every single ailment and never miss the opportunity to sow doubt and fear into the population while creating the devious illusion that people can no longer manage ANYthing on their own but MUST be cosseted and/or "saved" by the state,…some chance!!!!!
Pete the feet
I'd like to know who is getting paid for the millions of vaccinations being carried out? Who actually own the pharmaceutical companies? and my guess would be the same cunts who are killing our world.Measles wasn't a dangerous disease all my family and almost everyone I know has had it.The thing is all they care about is money and they encourage everyone else to care about money but to my way of thinking trying to live an altruistic (big word I know) life is more important because they ain't taking no money with 'em when they go and they will go, the greedy bastards have a good day spiv
You've gotta be pretty stupid and scientifically illiterate to believe against all evidence that the MMR vaccine can cause Autism. Those who have worked for decades with people with disabilities have known for years that autism was around a long time before the MMR vaccine and that there was no increase in incidence when it was introduced. The scare, exaggerated by the Daily Mail, has led to a massive increase in children with brain damage and resultant disabilities due to them contracting measles. All this stuff about vaccines and 'heavy metals' causing disabilities is without any scientific basis but it fuels the warped, curtain-twitching minds of the average geeky conspiracy theorist who has way too much time on his hands.

The number of autism cases in the UK has soared over the past four decades. At the last count researchers found one in 64 British children have some kind of autistic condition.
In the Eighties, only four in every 10,000 children showed any signs of autism.

The big question you may have now is, Can vaccines cause encephalitis, or swelling of the brain?
AUTISM HAS A DIFFERENT NAME
A study entitled Unanswered Questions from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: A Review of Compensated Cases of Vaccine-Induced Brain Injury found the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) acknowledged 83 cases of vaccine-induced brain damage that include autism. [2] Many of these cases include encephalitis, or swelling of the brain.
One resource many doctors and health professionals use for research on health conditions is called The Merck Manual, published by Merck Pharmaceuticals.
The Merck Manual describes encephalitis as, "…inflammation of the brain that occurs when a virus directly infects the brain or when a virus or something else triggers inflammation." [3]
The Merck Manual explains the causes of encephalitis as:
1."A virus directly infects the brain.
2.A virus that caused an infection in the past becomes reactivated and directly damages the brain.
3.A virus or vaccine triggers a reaction that makes the immune system attack brain tissue (an autoimmune reaction)."
Glyn?

Posted on April 7th, 2013 at 11:16 am@@@@@@@@@I don't trust big pharma at all, any more than I trust any big capitalist money making machine. I have read Ben Goldacre's book and I'm a big fan of his. But it's a bit lame to call me a brain dead troll just because I haven't got exactly the same world view as you. The trouble is with conspiracy theorists is not that conspiracies and evil-doing do not exist, they obviously do and are done at all levels of society by all sorts of people for their own ends, but that there are as many theories as there are theorists. A room full of people who all believe that Sandy Hook for instance, was an inside job will not be a unified like-minded bunch of people as every one will all have a slightly different take and each one will think that only their own particular version is correct and everyone else doesn't quite get it. That's the ego at play and sadly this sort of arrogance makes it hard for people to see the wood from the trees and it also makes it easy for those with power to muddy the waters even more.
But YOUR opinion is more valid than others ? Bit narcissistic Glyn ?
In the Eighties, only four in every 10,000 children showed any signs of autism.@@@@@@Oh the arrogance of calling me a troll. (See my last post)
It's obvious that autism has seemed to increase over the last four decades. It's nothing to do with mmr, it's to do with diagnosis, advances in science and changes in our society. Statistics showing an increase in autism include those where autism is one of many disabilities in an extremely disabled person. We now have disabled adults with autism amongst multiliple diagnosis who would not have survived beyond childhood forty years ago. This skews the figures. Also when our society was more industrially based, people with mild autism would not have been diagnosed like they are today. They would have just been considered a bit odd but would would have ended up having productive if not slightly disfunctional lives. People with high functioning autism often end up within the higher echelons of the church or academia and science where their obsessions and poor social skills and sometimes uncanny abilities with certain types of memory for instance are a distinct advantage and where the organisation and structure of their employment masks their own problems. It is also no coincidence that many children with autism nowadays have very high functioning parents. Genes are the biggest contributor to autism and not vaccines.
You further go on to explain vaccines do cause encephalitis as do the manufacturers and that is noted as a causal link between vaccine and autism.
Saying it's nothing to do with MMR when manufacturers know and evidenced themselves it has is absurd.
The answer is yes.@@@@@@@@@@Of course they can and those vaccines of the type that rely on a small amount of a virus to boost our own immunity have also been implicated in brain damage leading to epilepsy. However people forget the brain damage that measles can cause and over the last few years there has been a massive increase in the uk of disabled kids whose parents didn't get them immunised. The brain and it's development is complicated and all medicines have some sort of risk but all in all the benefits of the mmr outweigh the risks until something better comes along.
Hmm Italian courts. Didn't an italian court recently imprison some geological scientists for their inability to successfully predict volcanic eruptions?
T.Hunt
No body mentions all the three "bugs" the MMR vaccine is for. Mumps, Measles & Rubella! Rubella when caught by expectant mums around 6 weeks from conception causes dreadful damage to the foetus. At best, the odd deformed limb, at worst the child is born blind & deaf! Yes, Autism is also to be found amongst the Rubella's foetus victims after birth.
Autism was indeed around well before MMR was invented, but few in the GP section of the medical profession knew of it, or indeed diagnosed it.
Can you actually twitch curtains by the power of the mind alone? I'm going to stay in all week and practise!
Glyn says:
Oh yes, so all Italian court decisions should be void. Berlusconi must be innocent.
Ad hominem attacks like this are pretty easily discounted though, aren't they, Glyn?
"It's about time there was a proper reply/quote option on this site, Spivey. I'd contribute to the running costs to make it happen but the thought of being financially linked to you makes my curtains twitch like a care-home kid at a Freemasons' Ball."
Saying it's nothing to do with MMR when manufacturers know and evidenced themselves it has is absurd.@@@@@@@@@@@@
There's no causal link. As I said there was no spark in autism diagnosis when the mmr was introduced. Encephalitis gets caused by all sorts of things and these people often exhibit behavioural symptoms that could be described as autistic ie but that does not mean that they are autistic in the classic description of the illness. And no my opinion is not more valid than others, i try to examine all the evidence I can and come up with a best fit. If I disagree with someones position does that make me narcissistic? Isn't that what you do by posting comments about viewpoints you disagree with?

Not at all but you appear to disregard everything except that which you have as an opinion, there is no leverage, no open mind.
Merck states difinitely that vaccines can cause brain swelling – what causes Autism ? The answer is unknown, it is however a defect in brain development. Autism has no physiological test, it is based on opinion – damage to the brain by vaccines could/may cause similar defects.
If we take into account :
Exposure during pregnancy to rubella (German measles), valproic acid, and thalidomide, are recognized causes of secondary autism; however, it remains unclear whether those who develop autism after such an exposure are also genetically predisposed.
http://www.genome.gov/25522099
The link is there though.
Medical conditions associated with an increased risk for autism include the following:
•Fragile X syndrome (more common in males; may cause mental retardation)
•Tuberous sclerosis (syndrome that causes seizures, mental disorders, and tumors)
•Congenital rubella syndrome (results from transmission of the rubella virus [causes German measles] in utero)
•Untreated phenylketonuria (PKU; hereditary disease caused by a defective enzyme

Research the polio vaccine, they knew it caused cancer and paralysis but carried on. 70 years later they still do it with all other vaccines. They don't care. Be nice to know if all politicians and members of the royal family had all their jabs. Don't get the flu jab, regardless of the propaganda, don't consent to your daughers having the pap jab at 12+ years. It's all cash driven, as usual and we are little ants.
Also remember that during the original MMR controversy Tony Blair refused to say whether his latest child had had the jab. Obviously it hadn't, otherwise he'd say so.
But everyone else should do as the State tells them.

@@@@@@@@@ He did. He's come out subsequently and said so.
@@@@@@@@@Do you honestly think that there's a big conspiracy whereby those 'in the know' didn't give their kids the mmr while the 'truth' is hidden from the rest of us in the world? How deep does this go? Is my GP in on it as well? Is Ben Goldacre the scourge of big-Pharma in on it also because he was hugely critical of Andrew Wakefields original research and the subsequent hysteria?
Btw my last two posts have not been published? One was a reply to Carl and the other a link to a Guardian article about the charlatan and big-Pharma supporting money making machine that's Andrew Wakefield?
twinkiedooter
I see that these parents are really brainwashed. Just look to America for all the vaccine horror stories. Why is it that the Amish in America don't get vaccinated and yet they have NO incidents of Autism, etc. caused by vaccines? Wonder how many kids held by panicked parents will turn up with Autism? Probably more than they even imagine. One vaccination at a time….as 3 at once WILL overload the immune system and cause major problems.
SOMEONE WITH SOME SENSE
say no to the T V licence, I agree with what you said above
PARENTS WILL BE ALLOWING THEIR KIDS TO BE MICROCHIPPED NEXT
Wake up you MORONS
Have to agree with twinkiedooter comment (#28). But the vaccine advocates choose to ignore the history of the Amish. The statistics being thrown back and forth are only relevant if compiled by independent sources. Anybody can rig data! By my reckoning, people are motivated by revenge, profit or goodwill. So if you disregard those making a profit (Big Pharma), revenge (ex Big Pharma), you are left with people that just want the best for society. We are all capable of making our minds up and I fail to see why refusing a vaccine is anybody else's business! It won't (can't) make the slightest bit of difference to those that have been vaccinated, so look after your own and butt out of other people's lives! Medicines are very useful, but I don't view vaccines as medicine, just business. There are lots of well meaning people working for Big Pharma, but the people at the top have their own agenda.

Just don't call it an echo chamber
The main thrust of the course correction in studying online information and misinformation has been to challenge the received wisdom that the internet traps us in ideological bubbles of news and opinion we agree with. This pervasive notion among academics, policymakers, and journalists — one overview calls it the 'echo chambers about echo chambers' (Guess et al. 2018) — finds little empirical support in large-scale studies of online media habits. Still, the refutation only highlights the need for a better vocabulary to describe the deeply partisan dynamics of the media ecosystem in many countries. As the preceding discussion suggests, a structural view is essential to studying misinformation: where and how it circulates, how it reflects shifting incentives for political elites, and how it becomes a resource for political identity and influences behaviour as a result.
Research on echo chambers and filter bubbles has focused on what might be called the strong version of the hypothesis: that in a high-choice media environment, the preference for congenial information from like-minded sources leads citizens broadly to 'sort themselves into echo chambers of their own design', in Sunstein's (2009, 6) phrase, through selective exposure and/or algorithmic selection. Studies suggest only a small minority of partisans inhabit such bubbles; while evidence is mixed, for most users who do engage with political news online, search engines and social media appear to be a source of diversity (Flaxman et al. 2016; e.g. Dubois and Blank 2018; Fletcher and Nielsen 2018a, 2018b; Eady et al. 2019). An important caveat, though, is that the minority with narrower, ideological news diets also tend to be the most politically engaged (Guess, Lyons, et al. 2018; Tucker et al. 2018). Nyhan (2016) calls this the 'paradox' of echo chambers: 'Few of us live in them, but those who do exercise disproportionate influence over our political system'.
That caveat becomes very important when we consider how misinformation spreads and takes on political valence across discursive networks of media and political actors. For instance, the pandemic offers several cases of flawed research being rapidly 'weaponised' to downplay virus risks in a cascading dynamic across right-wing news outlets, conservative voices on social media, and Republican politicians (Bajak and Howe 2020; Starbird et al. 2020). A starker illustration is the perplexing political influence of QAnon, the far-right online subculture and 'conspiracy movement'born in the wake of the 2016 US election. QAnon metastasised during the pandemic, gaining adherents and absorbing COVID-19 conspiracies into its core narrative of a 'deep state' scheming against President Trump (LaFrance 2020). Remarkably, dozens of candidates in 2020 US congressional races endorsed QAnon — some obliquely, others quite openly — in a bid to court Republican primary voters (Rosenberg and Steinhauer 2020). Beliefs cultivated in something like an echo chamber can resonate far beyond it.
Some scholars approach echo chambers in this wider sense: as coordinated, mutually reinforcing patterns of messaging among politicians, partisan media outlets, and outside issue or interest groups (Jamieson and Cappella 2010; Benkler et al. 2018). This is broadly in line with how scholars understand the potential structuring influence of populist or tabloid media, which offer a ready outlet for populist messages, help define an audience for populist politics, and also 'serve as vehicles reflecting people's sentiments back' to populist leaders (Mazzoleni 2008, 54). The question becomes not whether the typical media user is in an ideological bubble that promotes specific attitudes, but how the bubbles that do exist affect political discourse and behaviour more broadly.
Finally, this looser definition of echo chambers raises a thorny question, one that provides a useful cautionary note to conclude this argument for scholarship that looks past individual effects to take a more structural view of mediated misinformation. The question is, what separates harmful echo chambers from the cause- or party-oriented press that forms part of a healthy, pluralistic society? As Nielsen (2020) has observed, 'the women's movement, the labor movement, and the civil rights movement were arguably echo chambers in many ways'. Likewise, contemporary movements like #MeToo and Black Lives Matter take shape across ideological media networks used to share information, develop arguments, and build social ties.
What distinguishes harmful echo chambers from healthy digital activism is, precisely, the extent to which they promote dangerous misinformation like QAnon conspiracy theories. Making this distinction requires judgment and may invite disagreement — but no more so than other normatively freighted categories, such as 'misinformation' and 'populism', which communications scholars employ widely. More important, though, this offers a reminder that the same structural arrangements can and do produce very different outcomes in democratic terms. The challenge is to take seriously how media structures and mediated discourses matter in public life while avoiding the pull of determinism that too often accompanies such perspectives.

The Voice of Marilyn resonates at St Barts Pathology Museum
The sultry voice of Marilyn Monroe poured out of the speakers like treacle in St Bart's Pathology Museum on August 8th. Guests perused the recently conserved historical specimens with a complimentary glass of wine and chatted easily despite the surroundings. What may once have been considered a mausoleum is now a testament to the potential of rebirth – like many anatomy museums and old buildings in general, St Bart's is experiencing a new lease of life.
The lecture was organised to commemorate the untimely demise of the Hollywood star 50 years previously, on August 5th, 1962 and was a celebration of her life as well as another look into the circumstances of her death. Murder? Suicide? Accident? There are still so many questions, and with recent reports of FBI files on Marilyn going 'missing' and the deaths of most of the people involved in the investigation back in the 1960's, it seems we may never know the truth. However, it does seem that ultimately her premature demise has secured her one thing: Immortality.
A personal account
Our first speaker was the renowned British journalist Peter Evans who wrote for The Daily Express, The Los Angeles Times, The Daily Mail, Vogue and numerous other publications throughout his career. He wrote the book 'Nemesis' about the relationship between the Onassis couple and Robert Kennedy which is to be made into a feature film, and during his time in America he met Marilyn Monroe several times. He had said, ""I hope to put a personal piece together on the Marilyn I knew - my first encounter with her at the Savoy in 1957. Cut to the early winter of 1961 when I found myself in the next room to hers in a New York hotel and, although all outside calls to her room had been blocked, I discovered I could talk to her on the in-house phone. We chatted all the time 18 months later I covered her funeral in Los Angeles. She was 36 years old. I liked her very much."
He didn't disappoint and gave an incredibly heartfelt talk about the Marilyn he knew, with many anecdotes and funny tales of this extraordinary woman. It was an honour to be privy to such information and his contribution was priceless.
The Toxicology of Marilyn
The second half of the lecture was a fantastic presentation by Atholl Johnston, Professor of Clinical Pharmacology at Queen Mary. He is currently a government advisor on drink and drug driving and has over 30 years' experience in the measurement of drug concentrations in the human body. He talked the audience through the history of barbiturate use and their short and long-term effects. He also discussed the details of that fateful night in August 1962 and asked us to draw our own conclusions. His talk was energetic and humerous and a great introduction to toxicology: full of facts and figures but easy to understand.
The seminar ended with a free raffle for 5 brand new books entitled 'Marilyn Monroe: The Passion and the Paradox' by Lois Banner which were generously donated to me by Bloomsbury and another chance to mingle and listen to my 'Modern Monroes' playlist: a list of all those contemporary female performers who've been inspired by her style and her spirit, and who help to ensure she still lives on to this day.
(This article has been written in memory of the journalist and contributor to 'The Life and Death of Marilyn Monroe', Peter Evans, who sadly passed away this Saturday 1st September, less than a month after giving this talk)
Report by Carla Connolly, Pathology Museum Technician, St Barts


Visitors get a glimpse of Tulum's primary center both ceremonially and politically once they get to the pre-hispanic website. The city was encircled monumentally by Mayan's most commonly known wall. A number that is large of and palm homes were situated around this wall. Presently, this area cannot be accessed, and there is no evidence of these homes.
The square, which lies at the center associated with town, was in all likelihood used for ceremonies and rituals. It's flanked with a Castillo or castle to the western. The Castillo is usually touted as the building that is tallest in Tulum. It's named the lighthouse. It really is situated on the bluff mentioned above. It gives a view that is breathtaking of ocean and coastline. This structure underwent several stages of construction. Top of the spaces are carved with the motif of this plumed serpent. Spaces are vaulted in classical type of Mayan culture.
The Temple for the Descending Jesus is another intriguing structure. The facade comprises a figure that is sculpted head down. The walls that are inner traces of ancient pigments employed by the Mayan individuals. The figure is considered to express a deity, where Tulum appears to be during the center associated with cult.
The last year of news coverage associated with Mexico would have many individuals thinking that Mexico being a country is really a high-risk place to go to because of the present H1N1 (Swine flu virus) and tales of drug kidnappings and shootings mainly centered around a few US border towns. Regional occasions have regrettably possessed a negative effect on the neighborhood tourism economy half a country away regarding the Yucatan Peninsula.
To be aware of Tulum Airport Shuttle and Airport Cancun to Tulum Shuttle, please go to our website Tulum Airport Shuttle.
Riviera Maya weather has much in common with Cancun and Cozumel simply because it lies between those two popular Mexican locations.
This stretch that is resort-filled of Caribbean coast of Mexico starts just south of Cancun and stretches even further south past Cozumel.
Two of Riviera Maya's most popular destinations are Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Playa del Carmen is well known for its great shopping and district that is dining Fifth Avenue and Tulum is well known for the Mayan ruins.
Like Cancun and Cozumel, Playa del Carmen weather is hot during the summer time and extremely wet through the rainy period.
The best times to go here just take careful planning with climate at heart.
Typical temperatures that are high 90 degrees Fahrenheit or maybe more throughout the months of might through August, according to historic documents for the area.

America's Fat Asses – Turning Our Greatest Weakness Into A Glorious Triumphant Strength
Post author By Eric Patton
No Comments on America's Fat Asses – Turning Our Greatest Weakness Into A Glorious Triumphant Strength
It's no secret we're the fattest nation in the world.
If you want to take a gander at how much damage this is doing both in terms of actual costs and opportunity costs, turn to the Jihad:
http://www.fatgirljihad.com/267/fatties-are-destroying-society
The medical costs were estimated to be as high as $117.2 billion, and that was in 2000. The fat lobby prevents further estimations to be made. A more recent estimate says it's $147 billion a year, which is 9 percent of all medical spending. Everyone wants to blame the infidel insurance companies for rising health care but a lot of that blame should go on the fatties, the biggest public burden on American citizens.
While the nuclear family and competitive capitalism has increased the cost of childbirth making it less attractive for the middle class, it also true that fat women lose their fertility much faster than normal ones. Their children also suffer more complications than normal weight women, further increasing the expense and depriving society of valuable human capital:
"Consuming a diet high in fat causes damage to eggs stored in female ovaries. As a result, when fertilised these eggs are not able to undergo normal, healthy development into embryos," Ms Minge says. Source
Obesity is a known risk factor for ovulation problems, but it also contributes to infertility in women who ovulate normally, new research shows Women in the study who were severely obese were 43% less likely to achieve pregnancy than normal-weight women or women who were considered overweight but not obese during the yearlong study. Source
Studies indicate obesity doubles a woman's chances of having a baby with neural tube defects, and even adequate folic acid intake does not fully protect against the increase in risk. Compared with normal-weight women, obese women have a greater risk of developing complications during pregnancy. Their babies are also more likely to be admitted to neonatal intensive care units. In a report published today, the public affairs committee of the Teratology Society officially declared obesity a pregnancy risk factor, adding that women should be told about the risk in the same way that they are warned about the dangers of smoking and drinking alcohol during pregnancy. The Teratology Society studies the causes and processes of birth defects to improve diagnosis and prevention. Source
Imagine being so fat that you poison your own child in your womb.
I propose we apply the can-do American attitude to obesity, and turn one of our greatest weaknesses into a great strength. Until pre-commitment devices can force people to stop shoveling crap down their throats, we're stuck with less techno-utopian methods, like plastic surgery.
Enter the Brazilian Buttlift & Breast Fat Transfer:
About six months ago, and because of the reabsorption dilemma, the Viel brothers – who have been carrying out forms of fat transfer surgery for 18 years – decided to offer the recently developed PIFT, which had been proving successful in America.
During the two-hour procedure, liposuction is used to remove fat from the patient's stomach or thigh area.
'Traditional liposuction involves the surgeon manually breaking up the fat with a cannula – a tube that removes fluid – often rupturing blood vessels within the fat, causing bruising, bleeding and possibly nerve damage,' says Dr Roberto Viel.
'So we use Vaser Lipo, a machine that uses ultrasound waves to liquidise the fat, allowing us to remove fat cells while causing minimal damage.'
Dr Roberto Viel says: 'We believe the platelets slow the reabsorption process. Traditional fat transfers last approximately six months in total and require top-ups once a month. The PIFT enhancement should last for up to two years.
'Fat can be refrigerated safely for up to two years before it starts to decompose, so we take a little more than is needed. We expect patients to have a first top-up at eight weeks and then one every six months, or until the supply runs out. After that, we would need to repeat the whole procedure. Link
See, they have an excuse for getting fat now. The spare parts are actually useful, not just for making soap like in Fight Club.
This process is not without complications from the ultrasonic lipo, however there is no better place to test it than on women who have virtually no sexual market value:
Fat injection consists of mainly dead cells, with a disputed amount of living cells (Our research showed 20-25% alive, other studies have shown as low as 3% if you look at the ability of the cells to "breathe" (metabolize).
Those dead cells, when injected into the breasts, either are dissolved away by the body's white blood cells, or form chronic inflammatory reacitons and are walled off (granulomatous reactions) or form fatty cysts. Lumpiness can also occur with the above problems as well.
It is the walling off process that causes the most worry. Calcium formation is common in granulomatous reactions. Calcium is what clues off mammographers to the presence of cancer. So will there be false positive mammograms for cancer in patients who have this technique? We'll have to wait and see.
In five years' time, we will have our answers. Until then, patients receiving this technique will take a certain risk. We won't be using this technique in our practice until more data are available.
UAL, by the way, (and also the laser) melts and destroys fat cells with ultrasound waves (or laser heat). This technique would guarantee only dead cells are introduced. Lintk
As for the classic hip-to-waist ratio and fat-but-flat ass syndrome, the brazilian butt lift provides solutions. Behold an entire gallery of sort of safe for work images:
http://www.realself.com/brazilian-butt-lift/before-and-after-photos
It not only lifts but provides an eye pleasing hip to waist ratio, for the appearance of a coke bottle figure.
We must learn from Korea, and begin augmenting our own not so passable women.
One way or another, the sexual marketplace is going to be completely overturned in the coming decade.
P.S. The sexbots are coming: http://www.projectaiko.com/faq.html

About 9 months ago, my whole world started to unravel. My husband wanted a divorce. I'd been a stay-at-home mom for 4 years, and spent my days caring for our two young kids (3 and 11 months at the time). Sure, our marriage had lots of problems, but so does everyone else's during this hard season of life of raising young kids and building careers. After a quick trial separation, an even quicker few sessions in couples' therapy, and a disastrous final family vacation, it was over.
During those first early days as a single mom, I thought I was doing well enough, all things considered ("well" is a relative term, I gave myself a lot of grace while i grieved). Then one day it hit me like a freight train, all the tell-tale signs of adrenal fatigue. While I was trying to keep my little family afloat, Cortisol was in the background pumping out at full force, wreaking havoc on my body, until one day, a couple of months into this whole mess, my adrenal gland was officially exhausted.
Headaches…oh, the headaches. And the CHRONIC fatigue, only to be followed by sleepless nights. My normally clear complexion was constantly breaking out. I realized my immune system was shot when, night after night one week in the summer, I broke out in fever (which is even less fun when you still have little ones to care for 24/7 alone). During the worst of it, my appetite was mostly gone and I lost 5 lbs. in one week, and I had an unquenchable thirst (which is indicative of extremely low blood pressure linked to stress). My brain was in a constant fog and my short-term memory was basically gone.
The first thing I wondered was, "is this what depression feels like?" Emotionally and mentally I was able to work through a lot of things, but none of this reconciled with my physical state. I'm extremely fortunate to be part of the huge online health and wellness community, so I was familiar with adrenal fatigue. I looked at my symptoms, did some research, and decided to try a more holistic and natural approach to healing myself.
The first thing I did was add in some adaptogenic supplements. Within 48 hours, my face stopped breaking out. The next thing I did was cut out coffee. Since coffee stimulates the production of adrenaline and cortisol, it's further taxing an already fatigued system. After the first few foggy days, I felt better. Like, a lot better. And I started sleeping better too.
Since I already ate a very clean diet, I didn't have any processed foods to cut out, so I focused on adding foods that would heal me. The three areas I focused on were 1) my adrenal gland 2) my immune system and 3) my digestive health. You see, when our body pumps out cortisol, we are essentially in "fight or flight" mode, which redirects our body's energy to survival, and slows down less essential functions, like immunity and digestion.
While I am still on the road to recovery, I feel that I have been able to bounce back from the lowest lows much quicker than I would have had I not taken deliberate steps to heal my body with a combination of food, yoga, counseling, and a strong support system. If you suffer from any of these symptoms, I hope my story will inspire you to take your health into your own hands. It's incredibly empowering because not only are YOU able to strongly influence the way you feel by what you put into your body, but you will also realize just how resilient your body (and spirit) can be.
Your story is inspiring – thank you for sharing!
🙏 thank you so much for your kind note!
You're an amazing woman, mom and inspirer of wellness! Thank you for sharing!

Q: kCBAdvDataManufacturerData data format changed in iOS 13? When using my app on iOS 13 the manufacturer data has changed format.
When accessing kCBAdvDataManufacturerData in iOS 12 I get in this format:
<13376400>
but in iOS 13 I get this format:
{length = 4, bytes = 0x13376400}
Does anyone know why this has changed?
How can I retrieve the "1337" part as a string?
This is how I access and print the data:
    NSData *manufacturerData = [advertisementData objectForKey:kCBAdvDataManufacturerData];
    NSString *manufacturerString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", manufacturerData];
    NSString *companyIdentifier = [manufacturerString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(1, 4)];
    NSLog(@"%@", companyIdentifier);

Prints: leng
I tried manufacturerData.bytes but it gives me EXC_BAD_ACCESS error.

A: Since iOS 13, the description of the kCBAdvDataManufacturerData NSData has been changed.
To be able to extract and parse the advertisementDatayou should not base on description any more.
Following is a Swift solution version that is working on both iOS 13 and old iOS versions:
According to your code above, you are able to extract the manufacturerData NSData.
let publicData = Data(bytes: manufacturerData.bytes, count: Int(manufacturerData.length))

let publicDataAsHexString = publicData.dataToHexString // this result is same what ever the iOS version.

//// Data extension
extension Data {
    var dataToHexString: String {
        return reduce("") {$0 + String(format: "%02x", $1)}
    }
}

Anti-Muslim Conspiracy Theorist Trained Senior U.S. Marshal, National Guard Members, Documents Show
Instead of fading into obscurity, John Guandolo has leveraged his status as a former FBI agent into a lucrative career training law enforcement.
Alex Kane
May 25 2017, 3:23 p.m.
A former FBI agent with a penchant for spreading anti-Muslim conspiracy theories trained a senior U.S. marshal, five federal contractors, and five National Guard members at a three-day event in Louisiana, according to documents obtained by The Intercept through a Freedom of Information request.
John Guandolo, a prominent figure in what has become a cottage industry of ex-national security professionals exploiting fear of terrorism for cash, ran the March training on behalf of his firm, Understanding the Threat. Guandolo was paid $12,500 for the seminar, sponsored by the Rapides Parish District Attorney's Office in Alexandria, which promised to show how "jihadis" operate in the United States, why understanding sharia is important to law enforcement agents, and how to "find and research jihadi organizations and leaders" in local communities. At a previous event, Guandolo labeled a local Muslim community leader as a religious extremist with no proof.
The documents obtained by The Intercept underscore how federal law enforcement and members of the military continue to frequent anti-Muslim trainings, despite past attempts to stop Islamophobic instructors from teaching soldiers and federal officers. Advocates have long expressed concern that such events encourage racial profiling and further corrode trust between government agencies and Muslim communities already weary of surveillance and infiltration by informants. They say these trainings are particularly troublesome at a time of rising anti-Muslim sentiment — sentiment that has been blessed by members of the Trump administration.
"Under no circumstances should federal law enforcement agents gain credit for attending anti-Muslim trainings, or be under the impression that it could be a legitimate part of their duties," said Lindsay Schubiner, senior program manager at the Center for New Community, a Chicago-based group that tracks anti-Muslim trainings, referring to the continuing education credits often required of law enforcement officers. "Federal law enforcement agencies have to clearly send the message to their agents that anti-Muslim bigotry is unacceptable and that anti-Muslim conspiracy theories that Guandolo promotes should not be driving the implementation of federal law."
Guandolo, a former FBI counterterrorism agent, resigned from the bureau in 2008 while he was being investigated by the FBI for affairs with female agents. The following year, he confirmed to the FBI that he had a sexual relationship with a key witness in a corruption case against a Democratic lawmaker in Louisiana.
But instead of fading into obscurity, Guandolo has leveraged his status as a former FBI agent into a lucrative career. Guandolo has made tens of thousands of dollars in recent years giving dozens of law enforcement trainings, many of them taxpayer funded. Sheriffs' departments or police associations that put on conferences for local law enforcement sponsor most of Guandolo's events. But the trainings are usually open to federal agents as well.
Guandolo has said that all American Muslim groups share the "same ideology as ISIS" and that President Obama committed "treason" by working with Muslim groups to combat terrorism. He has also called for the majority of mosques in the U.S. to be shut down and for the arrest of leaders of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation's largest Muslim American civil rights group.
"Guandolo's training is basically terror porn for people who want to be scared into fearing segments of society," said Imraan Siddiqi, the executive director of CAIR in Arizona, a state in which Guandolo has given multiple trainings.
Guandolo and the Rapides Parish District Attorney's Office did not return The Intercept's requests for comment.

The Louisiana seminar was one of nine trainings Guandolo has given in 2017 alone. He is scheduled to give two more in June, according to the Center for New Community. Sign-in sheets for the Alexandria training obtained by The Intercept indicate that officers from nearly two dozen state and local law enforcement agencies attended, in addition to the federal employees and contractors.
Bernard McLaughlin, a mediator and former U.S. Army colonel who attended the seminar, said the training could prove especially useful for local law enforcement officers. "They don't get taught a course on Islam or domestic terror or how radicals may plan attacks," McLaughlin told The Intercept. "So you have to look at an introductory training just to get people oriented so they have a better understanding of Islam, what it is and what its proponents are."
However, as critics of Guandolo have pointed out, he does not speak Arabic — the original language of the Quran — and has no scholarly expertise in Islam.
The most senior federal officer who attended the Alexandria seminar was Drew Koschny, chief inspector of the U.S. Marshals Service and deputy assistant director of Interpol Washington, the U.S. branch of the global police force Interpol.
U.S. Marshals are required to get approval from the Marshals Service before attending external trainings. But for the Guandolo training, Koschny "accepted the invitation and attended the event without completing the required USMS request for external training; therefore, the training course was not vetted and approved by the USMS," said Drew Wade, a U.S. Marshals spokesperson. "Mr. Koschny felt the training would support his work at Interpol. He was not aware of any views attributed to individuals conducting the training."
Four employees of Centerra, a security contractor that guards government facilities across the country, also went to the training. Three of the Centerra employees were listed in the documents as working for the Department of Energy. Another federal contractor who works for Fluor Federal Petroleum, the sole company guarding the U.S. government's Strategic Petroleum Reserve, attended the training. The Department of Energy, Centerra, and Fluor did not respond to The Intercept's requests for comment.
In addition, five Louisiana National Guard members, including an anti-terrorism officer, went to Guandolo's three-day training.
"It is very commonplace, and very typical for us as a statewide organization, to get invited to attend and participate in training that is being conducted by any number of our various partner agencies," Col. Ed Bush, a spokesperson for the Louisiana National Guard, told The Intercept. "The fact that we attended this training is a best practice for us, and whenever possible we always try to have representation at these training events, just for our own situational awareness and to maintain those partnerships that are key to our ability to respond as a state." He added: "Attendance isn't an endorsement."
This was not the first time members of the military attended a Guandolo class. In an email obtained by The Intercept through a separate public records request, Guandolo told a local detective planning an upcoming training that Department of Defense employees had signed up for his February 2014 event in Culpeper County, Virginia. And in July 2011, he gave a guest lecture at the Joint Forces Staff College to a class for captains, colonels, and commanders. In that class, Guandolo used material that justified the Crusades and claimed that Muslims were enemies of the West and commanded to hate Jews and Christians.
After Wired exposed that class and other anti-Muslim material given to FBI agents, the Obama administration ordered government agencies to review their counterterrorism trainings. The FBI purged hundreds of anti-Muslim documents from its training material.

But the problem of anti-Muslim counterterrorism training persists. The documents related to Guandolo's seminar in Louisiana suggest that federal government workers have attended locally sponsored anti-Muslim events with little oversight.
And the problem isn't limited to Guandolo. In March, CAIR asked the U.S. Air Force to cut its ties with Patrick Dunleavy, an instructor who lectures at the United States Air Force Special Operations School in Florida. Dunleavy has written that the values of religious freedom and free speech are "contrary to the moral code of Islam" and that "to many Muslim parents, visions of violence and death" are the future they aspire to.
"It doesn't look like this is an area where the federal government is doing its job and ensuring that its employees don't participate in bigoted trainings," said Farhana Khera, the executive director of Muslim Advocates.
In 2011, Khera secured a commitment from John Brennan, then President Obama's counterterrorism adviser, to create an interagency task force to ensure that law enforcement training material was not biased. But in 2014, after The Intercept published a document showing anti-Muslim bias in National Security Agency training documents, Muslim Advocates and dozens of other organizations called on the Obama administration to go beyond that task force. They asked the administration to be more transparent about how pervasive anti-Muslim trainings were and to ensure that the officials responsible were disciplined and the participants in those trainings were retrained. It is unclear if the Obama administration took any of those steps.
While biased trainings for federal employees are not a new issue, civil rights groups say they are especially disturbing in light of the election of Donald Trump, who has brought anti-Muslim activists like White House strategist Steve Bannon — who hosted Guandolo on his Breitbart radio show — into the halls of power.
"It's even more troubling today because we now have a president and senior members of his administration who traffic in anti-Muslim bigotry," said Khera. "So our concern is that you have the senior most official in the U.S. government giving a wink-wink, nod-nod to exactly this kind of bigotry."

Q: Check if a TextView text is cut off the screen
I have a calendar view which is based on a GridView.

It basically a school tests calendar. When you click on one of the cells you can see information about the test. In some phones the TextView containing the information is not shown, or partially shown because the calendar catches the whole screen.
I decided that if the TextView is cut off, I want to show an AlertDialog instead of showing the information on the screen.
The problem is, I don't know how to check if the TextView is cut off.

Here are 2 pictures to show you what I mean:
Thats how it should look:

Thats how it sometimes looks:

Thanks!

A: You can find out what is screen size category (small, medium ...) see here, and then can have different behavior for different screen sizes. In your case you can show AlertDialog in case of small or medium size screens.

A: I have found a solution on my own.
I checked the height of the GridView and the height of the TextView.
then,
if (gridViewHeight + textViewHeight >= containingLinearLayoutHeight)
it means that the Text is cut off.
