Most western countries have disability benefit schemes ostensibly based upon requiring (1) a work inhibiting functional limitation that (2) can be attributed to a diagnosable condition, injury or disease. The present paper examines to what extent current practice matches the core premises of this model by examining how much poorer the perceived health of disability benefit recipients is, compared to the employed and the unemployed, and further to examine to what extent any poorer perceived health among benefit recipients can be attributed to mental or somatic illness and symptoms.
Information on disability benefit recipiency was obtained from Norwegian registry data, and merged with health information from the Hordaland Health Study (HUSK) in Western Norway, 1997–99. Participants (N = 14 946) aged 40–47 were assessed for perceived physical and mental health (Short Form-12), somatic symptoms, mental health, and self reported somatic conditions and diseases treated with medication. Differences associated with employment status were tested in chi-square and t-tests, as well as multivariate and univariate regression models to adjust for potential confounders.
Recipients of disability benefits (n = 1 351) had poorer perceived physical and mental health than employees (n = 13 156); group differences were 1.86 and 0.74 pooled standard deviations respectively. Self reported somatic diagnoses, mental health and symptoms accounted for very little of this difference in perceived health. The unemployed (n = 439) were comparable to the employed rather than the recipients of disability benefits.
Recipients of disability benefits have poor perceived health compared to both the employed and the unemployed. Surprisingly little of this difference can be ascribed to respondents' descriptions of their illnesses and symptoms. Even allowing for potential underascertainment of condition severity, this finding supports the increasing focus on non-disease oriented contributing factors. Rehabilitation efforts aiming at return to work should have a strong focus on the patients' perceptions of their health in addition to symptom relief and social factors.
Despite public health improvements on several parameters over recent decades, many western countries report an increasing number of people living on health related benefit schemes, leading to calls for welfare systems reform [1–3]. A recent review concluded that research on most aspects of disability benefits and sickness absence is limited, with little scientific evidence to inform reforms. This lack of knowledge also affects legislation and clinical decisions within the present schemes [4, 5].
National policies for awarding disability benefits vary, but ostensibly all adhere to a medical model requiring a) work inhibiting functional limitation that b) can be attributed to an acknowledged condition, injury or disease . The degree of limitation was formerly based on objective measures in interaction with actual work characteristics: For a craftsman, a rate derived from what limb was lost and how essential this was for his work. At present, most disability expenditure is for musculo-skeletal and psychiatric disorders, both generally relying on subjective reports of functional limitations and symptoms. Rising levels of claimants, despite generally better population health indices, have led to attempts to elucidate social risk factors such as area level effects and education that interplay with medical factors.
Evaluations of functional limitations from health complaints or disease are largely based on patients' perceived health. This subjectivity has nurtured alternative explanations to the medical model: Pull-factor theories hypothesize that benefit schemes might have become too generous and attract recipients on insufficient grounds[6, 9], while push-factor theories focus on factors that expel people from work, through either health-problems incompatible with available jobs, or structural economic changes undermining financial job-security and forcing the individual into a sick-role or unemployment as alternative sources of income [10–12]. To the extent that health is involved, there is no conflict between the push-model and the existing practice for award of disability pension. The attraction model (hypothesizing the role of "pull-factors" and discounting health) challenges both the push-model and the traditional medical perspective.
Among the few empirical investigations in this area, a recent report from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) conclude that, on average, 1/3 of disability benefit recipients do not classify themselves as disabled, suggesting inclusion errors in disability schemes. In a recent Swedish study it was reported that, among those receiving disability pensions for musculoskeletal disorders, 27.7 % rated their health as "good" or "fairly good" three to eight years later. In these studies, self ratings of disability among disability pension recipients were not contrasted with ratings among the general population or other marginalized groups, e.g. the unemployed, who according to a recent meta-study also experience reduced physical and psychological well-being.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the two core premises of the current model through a) comparing perceived health of disability benefit recipients with both employees and unemployed, and b) examine to what degree self-reported medical conditions and symptoms explain the difference. We hypothesised that these medical conditions and symptoms would account for little of any difference found in perceived health.
The Hordaland Health Study 1997–1999 (HUSK) was a joint epidemiological research project carried out by the National (Norwegian) Health Screening Service in collaboration with the University of Bergen. The base population included 29 400 individuals in Hordaland County in western Norway born 1953–57, aged 40–47 at the time of the data collection. Data were collected by questionnaires and clinical examinations. A total of 18 581 (8 598 men and 9983 women) both answered the first questionnaire and came to the clinical examinations, yielding a participation rate of 63 % (57 % for men and 70 % for women).
After the clinical examinations, the second questionnaire was distributed and prompted for return by mail. Due to non-response to one or more of the variables in the second set of questions, 2893 individuals were excluded, and 742 individuals, who carried no information on either employment or benefits in the registry, were classified as "inactive" and also excluded from the study. Thus, the final population consisted of 14 946 individuals (table 1).
In the health survey there were items on full time work, full time domestic work, education or military service, being unemployed or laid-off. Those who responded positively to either of the first three categories, confirmed shift-work or reported more than any paid work during the week, constitute the group of "employed" (n = 13 156). The 1 790 benefit recipients comprise two groups: recipients of 1) unemployment benefits and 2) disability benefits; the latter group comprising long-term sickness absentees (>14 days of general practitioner (GP) warranted sickness absence, n = 601), recipients of medical or occupational rehabilitation benefits (n = 250), and those receiving permanent disability pensions (n = 500). These three were collapsed into one group as differences between them were minor and considered trivial in this context (data not shown). Information on benefits was confirmed from the National Insurance Administration (NIA) and was merged to the health survey by Statistics Norway through the national identification number. Duration and type of benefit is registered and allow for accurate calculations of benefit spells. Cases with more than one suitable category (e.g. both working and receiving a possible less than 100 % compensation disability pension), were appointed to the alleged most severe and permanent benefit category.
The outcome variables 'perceived physical and mental health status', were measured using the self report Short Form-12[15, 16]. This shorter version of the SF-36 is recommended for large population surveys such as the HUSK. Weighted summation provides summary scores for perceived mental health and perceived physical health. Out of the total twelve items, eight enquire directly on functional limitations due to health. The measurement has been standardized according to US norm data, with a mean score of 50 (SD 10). All results are presented as un-standardized regression coefficients for group differences. Missing values on single items were estimated from the valid responses and the linear regression coefficients predicting the score on the particular missing item(s) derived from those who had completed all items. This procedure was relevant for 1 069 participants, of which 831 had only one item substituted.
Questions on somatic diagnoses were framed in the form of: "Do you have or have you had (one of the following)", coronary infarction, stroke, diabetes, asthma, multiple sclerosis, chronic bronchitis, osteoporosis, or fibromyalgia. A positive response on one or more of these items was considered self reported diagnosis positive. In addition, participants were asked if they used any medication the previous day, and if so, for which condition. From these responses, a team of physicians appointed appropriate ICPC-diagnoses according to ATC-classifications, producing a continuous variable indicating number of conditions for which the person is taking medication.
Anxiety and depression symptoms were assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), which contain seven items each on cognitive symptoms of anxiety disorder and depression. In recent literature review, HADS showed good case-finding properties for anxiety and depression in primary care patient populations and hospital settings and is more accurate than GPs. The HADS-scores are used as continuous variables, reflecting increasing anxiety and depression symptom load.
Participants were also asked about frequency of 17 common symptoms from different organ systems in accordance with the ICD-10 Research Criteria for F45 Somatoform Disorders, on a five point likert scale labelled; "almost never, rarely, sometimes, often and almost always", rated 0–4. The items were summed and comprise the variable organ system symptoms that is used as a continuous variable, with increasing levels reflecting higher symptom load. Total symptom scores are often used in both research and clinical practice to determine severity levels, especially for mental health conditions. In addition, participants were asked if they had been troubled with muscle pain and/or stiffness in muscles or joints continuously for over three months during the last year. If positive, they were further asked to reply to which of ten suggested joints or body areas was affected. This was included as the continuous variable muscle pain, ranging from nil to ten where increasing numbers indicate increasing severity. Finally, information on sleep problems last 30 days was self-reported on a four point likert scale. For all three variables, a higher score reflect more health problems.
Self reported annual household income was measured by one item and coded in three categories from no income to more than NOK 500 000 (approximately € 60 000). Level of education was reported in four categories from less than seven years of schooling up to at least 4 years of higher education in college/university. Marital status was self-reported and dichotomized as being single or not. Self reported weekly consumption of alcohol units was entered as a continuous variable, as was body mass index (BMI), calculated from body weight by squared height from the clinical examinations.
Associations between work and benefit status and perceived health was examined through comparing means of SF-12 scores in linear regression models run in SPSS 13.0, with the three variables indicating each employment-status entered as independent variables. Age adjustment was not considered due to restriction in variance.
In gender adjusted multivariate analyses, blocks of theoretically related variables were entered sequentially in an a priori determined order, and finally in a fully adjusted model. Somatic conditions were entered first, as it was presumed to be an important cause of disability benefits and to avoid overestimating subsequent effects of mental health and somatic symptoms. The mental health variables were entered as the second block, and then the somatic symptoms variables which might be products of either somatic conditions or mental health problems. The same hierarchical model was employed for both perceived mental and physical health. Socio-demographic and behavioural factors were entered last, so that any effect of these adjustments should indicate social inequality beyond health. To examine potential confounding effects from specific health and socio-demographic variables, each of these was entered in separate univariate analyses after gender adjustment. Results are reported with a 95 % confidence interval for the estimates, significance level p < .05. Testing for demographic differences was done by Pearson Chi square and for crude perceived health by t-tests.
The study protocol was approved by the Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics, Western Norway and by the Norwegian Data Inspectorate.
Of the 14 946 participants, 88.0 % (87.5–88.5) were employed, 2.9 % (2.7–3.2) unemployed and 9.1 % (8.6–9.6) were disability benefit recipients. The overall sample means on the SF-12 scales were 50.10 (SD 8.18) for perceived physical health and 52.54 (SD 8.56) for perceived mental health, similar to US norms. Among those 10835 who were invited to the health study, but did not attend, a greater proportion, 18.5 % (18.1–18.9), were recipients of unemployment or disability benefits at the time. Of the 3 619 who attended, but failed to complete the necessary items in the study, 13.3 % (12.1–14.4) received unemployment or disability benefits.
In pair-wise comparisons of the groups' demographic profiles, the unemployed and the disability benefit recipients were different from the employed on all parameters (p < .001). However, there were no significant differences between the unemployed and the disability benefit recipients in terms of gender (p = .66), income (p = .52) and marital status (p = .24), whilst they were different on level of education (p < .05). In contrast to these demographic similarities, the unemployed were more similar to the employed in terms of perceived health, which was better than among disability pensioners (all group comparisons p < .001) (Table 1).
Disability benefit recipients perceived their health to be much poorer than employees (Figure 1). This difference was more pronounced in perceived physical health, where they scored 1.86 pooled standard deviations lower than the employed. On the perceived mental health their average was 0.74 pooled standard deviations lower. The perceived health of the unemployed was closer to the employed than to those on disability benefits with scores of 0.26 and 0.25 pooled standard deviations below employees on perceived physical health and perceived mental health respectively.
Perceived mental and physical health across employed, unemployed and disability benefit recipients.
In the gender adjusted blockwise linear regression, adjustment for "somatic conditions" had no effect on the differences in perceived mental health between the employed and disability benefit recipients, while "mental health" explained more than half of the difference, and left the association statistically non significant. Adding "somatic symptoms" had more explanatory power, but adjusting for demographic variables added nothing further.
The gender adjusted differences in the perceived physical health were surprisingly not attenuated by neither "somatic conditions" nor "mental health": the two blocks together only explained 8.5 % of the group difference. However, "somatic symptoms" was an important confounder and attenuated the perceived physical health difference by a further 27.7 %. The fully adjusted model showed a small confounding effect of "socio-demographic and behavioural factors" on top of the health variables. The differences between employed and the unemployed were non-significant in the fully adjusted models (Table 2).
In the univariate analysis only organ system symptoms and in particular muscle pain demonstrated a reasonable confounding effect on the association of benefit status and perceived physical health. The association of perceived mental health and employment status was also attenuated by these variables, as well as by depression and anxiety, sleep problems and income (Table 3).
The group differences in perceived health (both mental and physical) between the employed and disability benefit recipients were substantial, whilst the perceived health of unemployed was comparable to that of the employed rather than those on disability benefits. The markedly more pronounced difference in perceived physical than mental health was only modestly attributable to somatic conditions, mental health or somatic symptoms. Socio-demographics and health behaviours had little additional confounding influence upon these strong associations.
The present study has several strengths. The classifications of benefits were obtained from highly reliable national registries. The design of the study, employing several sources of data in a health context, reduces biases from selective symptom report to gain or avoid access to benefits as the participants were unaware of the outcome. The Short Form-12 is developed for use in general populations, and the semantics of the items resemble likely questions in clinical settings to determine patients' health perceptions relating to work ability. Furthermore, it differentiates between mental and physical aspects of perceived health. The study covers somatic conditions, mental health and somatic symptoms that encompass the most prevalent diseases and illnesses in benefit recipiency, as well as socio-economic variables relevant for both health and benefit recipiency. Finally, the response-rate of the study was satisfactory, the included age span is highly relevant as participants potentially have a number of years left as members of the work-force, and the population was drawn from the general population in a representative area with both urban and rural communities.
The study also has some limitations. The non-response rate among the benefit recipients was higher than for the employed. This could cause an underestimation of the true differences between the groups, although usually non-responders are more functionally limited. The list of symptoms and conditions is not complete and relies upon self report, potentially limiting our ability to adjust fully for a confounding effect of health. Residual confounding from random measurement errors is probably the most important limitation, resulting in underestimation of the proportion of group difference in perceived health attributable to somatic and mental health conditions and symptoms. Type of employment can have an effect on health, and by attributing any confusing exposure to the benefit group we have used a conservative approach, likely to reduce any observed differences in perceived health. Any confounding effect of income may be overestimated due to circularity between income and employment status. Finally the minimisation of the age range prevents analysing interactions with age, or generalising to other age groups.
The first criterion, that there must be a functional limitation, was supported from the poorer perceived health among disability benefit recipients. This very strong association, particularly with physical health, suggests the current system is successful in identifying those less capable of working. On the other hand, reverse causality may explain these findings if deprivation of normal role functioning is in itself disabling and that perceived health decreases following disability benefit award[7, 22]. Our results suggest that such a process may operate as a much smaller, but significant, reduction in perceived health is observed among the unemployed who, in a similar vein, are deprived of normal role functioning. One explanation is that cognitive processes among benefit recipients decrease perceived health to match their present status as exempted from work due to "deteriorated health". Causal explanation aside, there is support from other studies that the severity and longevity of sickness absence is associated with adverse outcomes and can predict grave endpoints like mortality.
The second criterion, that this reduced ability to work must be ascribed to an acknowledged diagnosis was only partially supported. Anxiety and depression scores (a proxy for diagnoses) alone explained more than half of the difference in perceived mental health between the disability benefit recipients and the employed. However, this criterion was not supported for perceived physical health, as somatic diagnoses barely attenuated the group difference. It might be argued that these adjustments do not account for the severity of a condition whereby the severity of conditions in the disabled is greater than that in those still able to hold down a job. Severity might be approximated by the total symptom count, certainly in the case of mental symptoms where counts are frequently used as measures of condition severity, and to some extent also in physical conditions. Somatic symptoms did have attenuating accounting for approximately a quarter of the variance. The substantial residual differences are unlikely to be completely explained by misclassification in the responses of the employed and disability pension recipients, or enormous other health related differences not detected in the health survey.
The cross sectional nature of the study cannot exclude that some of the unexplained difference could be a derivative of elevated symptoms levels at the time of applying for benefits that later have regressed towards a normal level either through a natural course, treatment or that the induced absence from work has ameliorated the symptoms. If the latter is the case, careful evaluation of whether re-entry to work is likely to cause the symptoms to remit is needed. If as suggested, cognitive changes in perceived health is caused by changes in work role, and these changes persists beyond symptom relief, negative health perceptions that do not self-resolve needs to be specifically addressed. From studies on working age populations, it is reported that measures of mental and physical health are the most important determinants of self-rated health. The results of the present study suggest that additional factors are important in explaining the worse perceived health among disability benefit recipients.
To our knowledge, the importance of perceived health in disability benefits has rarely been subject to empirical examination. Supporting evidence is found in a study where a single dichotomous item of self-rated health strongly predicted disability pension over an eleven year follow-up among men. As in the present study, adjusting for baseline somatic disorders, musculoskeletal disease, mental disorders and medication use, did little to attenuate this risk.
If even some of the large difference found in perceived physical health between individuals claiming disability benefits and the employed cannot be attributed to somatic conditions or mental and somatic symptoms, this implies that interventions aimed solely at medical problems amongst benefit recipients would have a limited effect on return to work for many. Thus, in (medical) rehabilitation and treatment efforts to alleviate work disability, patients' own perceptions of health and ability to work should be addressed in addition to symptom relief. In the UK work rehabilitation trials it was found that the health status of the individual had little predictive power for identifying those likely to return to work whilst individual's perception of their likelihood of returning and job satisfaction were strong predictors. Following on from observations that health perceptions were important predictors of return to work after a myocardial infarction, a small RCT demonstrated that a short intervention designed to alter individuals health perceptions improved the likelihood of post-MI return to work.
These results are relevant for the current dissonance in benefit practice, where physicians formally are appointed as gate keepers, but rarely exert their authority in confronting patients motivated for disability benefits [29–31], generally taking what patients say at face value The impact of sick-roles and personal attributions about work ability and prospective return to work needs further attention, as do factors beyond health influencing disability benefit influx, including both push- and pull-factors.
The perceived health among disability benefit recipients is markedly poorer compared to both employed and the unemployed. This difference is largest in perceived physical health, but less than 1/3 of this difference is explained by the self reported diagnoses and symptoms. Symptoms of anxiety and depression account for 2/3 of the difference between the employed and the unemployed in their perceived mental health, and more than 1/2 of the difference between the employed and the disability benefit recipients. Interestingly, the unemployed resemble the disability benefit recipients in terms of demographic characteristics albeit their perceived health is more like that of the employed. The implications of these findings for policy are several; according to current policy disability benefits are awarded for impaired work ability due to a diagnosable condition. Disability benefit recipients perceive their health to be poor, but surprisingly little of this can be attributed to the symptoms and diagnosable conditions reported. This indicates that an individual's perception of ones health takes many more factors into account than could be identified in this survey. This may reflect health behaviours e.g. smoking and fitness, varying social acceptability of health complaints and subgroup or geographical variation in health assessment. Finally the effect of being given a label of permanent disability may be more deleterious to an individual's self appraisal than previously thought. This suggests that rehabilitation efforts aiming at return to work should have a strong focus on the patient's perceived health in addition to symptoms relief.

What some might view as a mixed bag, Dr. Sarah Tulane sees as beautiful variety.
She works with students who are young and not-so-young, online and face-to-face. She prepares her students to work in the fields of gerontology, community education, graduate school, marriage and family therapy and many other careers. This spring, she was named the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services Teacher of the Year.
"I couldn't ask for a better job. It really feels like a dream job," Tulane said.
She is an assistant professor in the Family, Consumer, and Human Development department. She has taught a range of courses, including Balancing Work and Family, Human Development across the Lifespan, Infancy and Child Development, Middle Childhood, Adolescence, Research Methods, and Family Life Education Methods. And she loves it.
Whether she's teaching in person or online, Tulane strives to deliver a quality education. Her primary responsibility is online, which means that she and her students will be working at different times. She tries to compensate by responding promptly to their questions.
She provides opportunities for her students to chat by phone, pose questions online and start discussions with fellow students. In one class, she had her students develop teaching outlines and upload video clips on a class wiki page. They were asked to explain why they chose their videos.
Students also learn from each other. "My students are resources," Tulane said. "One thing I really love about online classes is the variety of students I get in there. … It would be such a shame to let that go to waste in my class." They come from all walks of life, from different points on the lifespan. Some are parents, who can comment on raising children or going through childbirth. If she has graduate teaching assistants, she finds out what their specializations are and encourages her students to ask questions.
"It makes discussion awesome," Tulane said.
Even among such a diverse group of learners bound for various careers, there are things they all need to know. They have to learn to deal with diverse populations, recognize their biases and overcome them, be prepared to deal with burnout, make ethical decisions, respect boundaries, work with people whose values are different from their own, and recognize needs.

Be mindful to allow enough time for your body to recover after rolling. Rolling too frequently can be excessive and harmful to soft tissue which may lead to bruising. Try some stretching to as an alternative form of tissue relief between rolling sessions.
Foam rolling in itself is a workout. It requires balance, strength and stability in order to work on certain areas. Think about it you pretty much have to plank in order to roll out the quad muscles! So, try to roll out at a time where you are still feeling energised both physically and mentally so you can manoeuvre around easier and really focus on that mind-muscle connection and feel that fascia lengthen and melt away.
If you would like specific tips and help to ensure that you are completing these exercises correctly – contact the team at Hands on Health Care.

When the Woman is the Breadwinner: 3 Men Tell Us What It's Like
by Dana Sitar
Heather Comparetto/The Penny Hoarder
During our first five years together, my partner Stefan and I contributed pretty evenly to our meager budget.
He was a touring stand-up comedian, and I was a freelance blogger.
Each comes with income ebbs and flows, and we just hoped one would flow if the other was ebbing.
By the time I started a full-time job that moved us to a new city in August 2015, he was ready to get out of comedy, but not sure what to do next.
He'd been sort of out of the workforce for almost five years and working for himself, so he didn't want to just jump back into a full-time job working for someone else.
"I realized how much I liked having the freedom to work on creative projects at my own pace," he explained. "Any kind of restaurant job or office job is just not the kind of life I want to live, so if I have the ability and the opportunity to have my creative freedom and also live a decent life, it's kind of hard to pass up."
"Creative freedom" also meant not needing to hustle in another creative career after clawing his way up through the last one for years.
We came up with the perfect solution for both of us: Instead of getting a job, he'd stay home and take care of the house — and me.
My new salary doubled what the two of us had been earning together. Even though our household budget remains well below average, living on one income has hardly been a financial concern.
I was more worried about the stigma of a man in his 30s staying home while his partner worked full time.
I love our life, but I know it's not typical. I come from a blue-collar background, where a job is considered a necessary hardship of adulthood.
My traditional roots had me wondering if we were doing it wrong. Shouldn't we be like other couples, who both find time to work, take care of the house, raise kids, feed pets and water plants together?
Stefan doesn't worry as much about the stigma, though.
"I don't ever feel guilty about not working. (Our relationship) is a pretty good balance," he explained.
"She doesn't want me to work, and I don't really want to work. I do check in every couple of months (to see if I should get a job). She likes the dishes to be cleaned and dinner on the table at 5:30 p.m."
And we have time to spend with each other, which I hear a lot of couples with plants and kids and everything struggle to find.
When Your Partner is the Breadwinner
Stefan also doesn't think our situation is so out of the ordinary.
"Everyone knows at least one family (now) that has a stay-at-home dad or a stay-at-home husband," he said.
His understanding of what "everyone knows" is probably influenced by his progressive parents, though. His mom, Jacque Preston, works full-time as a professor at Utah Valley University, while his stepdad, Brad Fraley, is a stay-at-home husband.
Brad's reasoning behind their decision mirrors our own:
"[My wife] can really give 110% to a job she likes," he pointed out. And, "she's got business ideas that she's spinning off. The only way that works is if she has nothing else she has to do, and the two of us can really relax when she has time off. We can just hang out. That's the life we want to live."
Brad has been "fully supported" for about four years. Before he and Jacque met, he'd been a Tai Chi teacher in Ohio for 10 years, a job that supported him but only required a commitment of about 25 hours per week.
"When I met Jacque, I had already established a lifestyle of minimal work … I really had no intentions of working a full-time job or doing something that I didn't enjoy for money," he explained.
Brad said she respected that, and it was simple to negotiate into their relationship.
When his wife started graduate school in Madison, Wisconsin, he moved with her and cut his teaching down to part-time, periodically traveling back to Ohio to run workshops. Not working gave him time to assist his wife with her graduate studies and to audit classes himself.
In Madison, the couple were living on Brad's part-time income, plus his wife's student loans and stipend as a teaching assistant.
When I asked him if this move meant a big cut in income for them, he said casually, "Yeah, I'd say so. We were probably living on less money."
When she took a full-time job with UVU, the couple moved to Utah, and Brad "went full-time retirement."
At first, this move posed more of a strain on their budget.
"We were pretty broke, but within about a year we had gotten to a point where we were comfortable," he said.
They rented cheaply, cut costs for a while, and were able to save and pay off bills as Jacque's new full-time income boosted their budget.
"I think there are times when we both realize it would be nice to have more money, especially when we think about the future, but I think we imagine my having a job and how that would change everything, that does not seem very appealing at all."
Stefan and I echo that sentiment. Sure, more money would always be welcome. But it would mean a lifestyle neither of us wants to live.
What Does a Stay-at-Home Husband Do All Day?
We do make what some people would consider sacrifices to live our single-income lifestyles.
We rent instead of owning homes — not so unusual for us millennials, but atypical for Brad and Jacque, each in their 50s. Each couple has a single used car. Brad and Stefan, respectively, often handle car repairs, a money-saving benefit we might not have if the men worked.
I asked Brad if he faces any stigma for the lifestyle. He responded to this just as casually as to questions about money, "I think that there probably are some, but I don't notice them."
"Maybe I'm just thick-skinned," he added. "I've always been alternative. I've always lived an alternative lifestyle and lived in alternative communities."
When people ask what he does for a living — the standard get-to-know-you question — he either says he's a "stay-at-home husband" or a "retired Tai Chi teacher." Sometimes, he said, "You notice them straining to be polite or accepting of that."
Stefan answers the question more plainly. "I say I do the dishes and cook dinner, and my girlfriend works, and people get it."
Brad also pointed out, "I actually have projects that I work on," mostly reading, research and writing. "They just don't make money, so I don't go into details about the things that I like to read, or my passion studies. I just feel like I've got a whole life of stuff I'm doing."
Stefan's days are similar, though his projects are different. He takes care of the house, but, "I have a lot of free time. There are no kids here, so it's not like I have a ton of work to do. I work on creative projects for most of my day."
Since our move, he's been able to pick up the hobbies he neglected for years when our nomadic lifestyle didn't allow time or money for them: music and video production, photography, animation and graphic design.
Not working, and talking to people about not working, makes Brad realize just "how much making money is a part of a justification for being alive."
"I actually have gotten to the point where I feel almost guilty that I've managed to construct my life in such a way that I'm not being ground down by excessive labor," he told me.
But, his guilt is quickly assuaged.
"I guess I feel like other people should be more careful not to get stuck in jobs they don't like" — but he said he tends to keep that thought to himself in polite conversation.
When You CAN'T Go to Work
While Stefan and I, and Brad and Jacque, love our respective lifestyles, I know some people simply prefer to work. And I can't ignore those couples or families who are forced to live on a single income.
Ryan Gurnett and his wife Kelly are stuck in that situation. Ryan has been out of work for three and a half years, but not by choice.
He has a disease called Mitochondrial Dysfunction, which affects cognitive skills and energy and causes pain and gastrointestinal problems.
The disease requires energy management, so he can only be active for about an hour at a time. He's applied for disability insurance, but that doesn't come quick.
"Disability takes forever," he told me. "I've been waiting for three and a half years, and probably still have another two years of waiting."
What do you do when living on a single income is thrust upon you?
Ryan makes money from home doing odd gigs online, like survey sites, focus groups and UserTesting.com. He also works as a research assistant for Kelly, who is a full-time freelance writer.
He's able to get things done during the day as long as he manages his energy.
He operates on a "one hour on, one hour off" schedule — going shopping, taking care of the house or working online to earn money for an hour, then recovering for an hour.
Gurnett also started a support group for people around his age who are not working because of chronic illness. The group meets during the day to provide some of that community he misses from work, and they watch movies, play board games, or do arts and crafts.
"I hate not working," Gurnett said. "When other people ask me about whether or not they should leave work and apply for disability, I always tell them to work as long as they're able to, because once you leave [the workforce], it's hard to get back in."
Unlike Stefan and Brad, Gurnett would prefer a traditional workday.
"It's weird not having co-workers around," he said. "It can feel very isolating. It can also be strange not having any structure to your day. When you're at work, at many jobs, you know what you'll be doing. … Once you leave work, it's all free time."
And he does feel the stigma associated with his situation.
"Explaining to other people that you're not working and your spouse is supporting the household can be humiliating," he said.
He's been told, "You're lucky you have a wife to take care of you," and he's not happy to hear it.
Ryan's inability to have a job is pinching the couple's budget while they await approval for disability income.
"We are in the red most months," he told me. "Our savings is gone and our credit is most likely permanently damaged. We now have to sell our house, and we're moving into my parents' basement while we wait for my disability to come through."
To stretch their tight budget, "We've had to cut more coupons, shop more thriftily and often find ourselves having to decline invitations to go out with friends because we can't afford the activities they can."
His wife, however, understands the illness and knows he's doing what he can.
"My wife is the reason I get off the couch every day," he told me. "The thought of me sitting on my (butt) while she works all day helps motivate me to get what I can done."

Report From Washington – June 15, 2012
Jun 15th, 2012 | By wjmurray | Category: Weekly Washington Updates
ISRAEL FACT FINDING MISSION – A once in a lifetime mission led by William J. Murray, William Federer and Frank Gaffney, all three experts on Israel and Islamic affairs. Not a standard "tour," the mission includes visits to settlements and military bases plus evening panels. Read more
IN THIS ISSUE: Obama generals name June "celebrate sodomy in the military month" / Barack Obama's message and a warning in Isaiah / Proof Obama joined a socialist party / Senators speak out in defense of marriage / Senate Bill for D-Day Prayer at FDR monument / Bloomberg says keep the pot but hand over the pop corn / Disney sodomy day / Arab Spring riots in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt with death squads, plunder, murder and rape – Does Obama get another Peace Prize for this?
OBAMA'S GENERALS CELEBRATE GAY PRIDE MONTH – One day is set aside each year to honor those who died in the service or our nation, but Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has set aside the entire month of June to celebrate acts of sodomy. Penetta declared June as "gay pride" month." In a video prepared for homosexuals in the military Panetta said, "Now you can be proud of serving your country, and be proud of who you are." John Paul Jones probably would have jumped ship had he known this was coming.
BARACK OBAMA AND ISAIAH – This past week President Obama visited Ground Zero and with a marker wrote on the wall of the new building: "We remember. We rebuild. We come back stronger!" Oddly this is eerily similar to Isaiah 9:10 (KJV) "The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: The sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars." When Israel was attacked as a waning from God, rather than obey Him the leaders shouted that they would rebuild stronger. Obama says we will rebuild stronger, but with an army that allows sodomy. How does that work? Read more
OBAMA JOINED A SOCIALIST PARTY IN 1996 – During his run for the Illinois State Senate in 1996 Barak Obama addressed the New Party, a socialist party made up mostly of ACORN members. He spoke at a meeting of the New Party where he signed a "candidate contract" and joined as a member. Old internet documents from the party show him as a member, even reporting when he later failed to pay his dues. Read more
SENATORS SUPPORT DOMA – Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) today led a group of Senators who had supported the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) when it passed Congress in 1996, in filing a friend-of-the-court brief defending DOMA's constitutionality with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Joining Hatch are Sens. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Dan Coats (R-IN), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Charles Grassley (R-IA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Richard Shelby (R-AL.), and Roger Wicker (R-MS). More than 80 percent of both the Senate and House voted for DOMA, and President Bill Clinton signed it into law on September 21, 1996. Read more
SUPPORT OF D-DAY PRAYER – D-Day Prayer-Senators Portman and Lieberman have introduced the "World War II Memorial Prayer Act of 2012" (S.3078), a bill to honor the 68th anniversary of President FDR's D-Day prayer with a plaque or inscription at the World War II Memorial. Current cosponsors include Rubio, Vitter, Manchin, Hutchison, Ayotte, Inhofe, DeMint, Landrieu, Blunt, Wicker, and Begich. Is your Senator listed here? If not please contact your Senator about the D-Day prayer bill.
KEEP THE POT, BUT HAND OVER THE POP CORN – Let's look inside the mind of a man who pays no attention to God at all, to see how this man thinks. Mayor Bloomberg of New York City has blocked the reconstruction of a church at Ground Zero while promoting the construction of a mega mosque. He wants to legalize "small amounts" of marijuana but outlaw "large portions" of popcorn at theaters. He also wants to limit the size of all soda drinks sold in New York to 16 onces (goodbye Big Gulp). Good comment on this issue here
DISNEY SODOMY DAY – Speaking of godless, on June 2nd Disney World held its annual sodomy day. (Advice: Don't let young boys go into the men's room during sodomy day at Disney unless accompanied by a family member.) The same week the Disney Corporation celebrated sodomy at its amusement parks, the company announced it would ban "junk food" ads from its children's TV shows. The Disney Corporation firmly believes that sodomy is good in kid's amusement parks but that Twinkies are bad for kids. A final question: Why do adult homosexuals want to go to Disney World anyway? Never mind, I know the answer to that question.
MORE FROM THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM COALITION
NEW JUNE CHAIRMAN'S REPORT – Now available, the June 1st, 2012 edition of William J. Murray's Chairman's' Report. IN THIS ISSUE: Updated information on the advertising campaign to expose Barack Obama's war against religious freedom. Congressman Todd Akin fights to protect the rights of military chaplains. More!

CONSTITUTION OR SHARIA CONFERENCE DVD – This is the complete set of DVD's from the November 11, 2011 Constitution or Sharia conference in Nashville, Tennessee. The Constitution or Sharia: Preserving Freedom Conference was the first true national conference on Sharia and the Islamization of America sponsored by major freedom oriented organizations! It was not just another educational conference. How do deal with and stop implementation of Sharia law in the United states was outlined by speakers and in panels. Order today
ARAB SPRING TUNISIA – Until 18 months ago Tunisia was considered to be the example of a "moderate" Islamic nation with tolerance for all. Then Baracck Obama and European leaders managed to back a revolt by Islamists against the secular government. Now Tunisia is a nation of strife and upheaval, with Islamist attacks on those who want to live a modern Western lifestyle. Read more
ARAB SPRING EGYPT – The Supreme Court of Egypt, which was appointed by the former secularist government, has dissolved the recently elected Parliament which was controlled by Islamists. Christians were encouraged and hopeful of the return of secularism. Islamists threaten to overthrow the military while calling the dissolved parliament a "coup." In reality Christians will suffer regardless, in a majority Islamic state.
ARAB SPRING LIBYA – Sidney newspaper headline: "Libya descends into militia chaos as hostages still held." there is not much in the news about the Libya that Barack Obama and EU leaders "liberated" but there is plenty of action there. The US Ambassador car was hit by an RPG, UN workers have been kidnapped and there is a full scale war going on in the south by different tribes. Yes … This is what Barack Obama got a Noble Peace prize for at the beginning of his presidency. Read more
AND IN FRANCE – A Muslim kills Jewish school kids and his family then sues when he dies in gun battle with police. They claim he was "murdered" by cops so stop him from telling his side of the story. The family must believe he had a good reason to kill children … That is Sharia law. Read more

Alexander von Meilenwald is a German multi-instrumentalist and vocalist known for his former band Nagelfar and his project The Ruins of Beverast.

At the age of 15, Meilenwald read an interview with Darkthrone member Nocturno Culto which fascinated him, after he had realised the supposedly extreme band Cannibal Corpse were "just normal metalheads". He then bought Darkthrone's A Blaze in the Northern Sky and believed "that this must be music made by deranged people". He got to know Sveinn Hackelnberg and founded Nagelfar with him and two other members.

In April 2002, Nagelfar disbanded, a decision that surprised the scene. Years later, Meilenwald explained that Zorn had told Nagelfar vocalist Zingultus and him that he lacked the energy and motivation he would have needed for Nagelfar, and Zorn and Meilenwald had decided that the band would not exist without one of them. Nagelfar refuse any offers for reunion concerts.

After the band's breakup, Meilenwald went on to form the one-man band The Ruins of Beverast and became the drummer of Heemat and a session member of Kermania (whose leader Weigand is influenced by early Nagelfar) and Truppensturm. He, Zingultus and Hackelnberg founded the Wòd-Ván, a group of black metal fans mainly (but not exclusively) from the region around Aachen.

A 2009 article by Rock Hard journalist Wolf-Rüdiger Mühlmann mentions that Meilenwald is age 31 and a student of history, linguistics and psychology.

Outsourcing production of critical parts was putting a crimp in Gilson Company's plans to move from strictly distributing products made by other companies, to making and selling some of their own.
While local CNC shop Miller Precision Mfg. Industries, Inc. also has its roots in traditional manufacturing, the company is far from an ordinary job shop. It is, in fact, a full- edged production facility.
The U.S. headquarters of SEW- EURODRIVE in Lyman, South Carolina is an impressive 250,000-sq.-ft. facility that produces over 300,000 gear sets and gear boxes each year.
CNG is a greener, cleaner burning alternative fuel that creates less pollution. When Rusty took a close look at the manufacturing process for these parts, he identified it as an opportunity to convert the existing approach to robotic automation.
Recently a global supplier of compressors decided to rethink its process for making a series of bearing housings.
By implementing a new, automated machining process, Gosiger and Hypertherm Inc. proved it is possible to achieve dramatic improvements in efficiency without sacrificing strong environmental goals.
The automated cell in this video has a unique method of managing both chuck face changeovers and loading and unloading a variety of parts.
With 90 years of machine tool experience the Gosiger team has the experience to provide you with service, support, and machine tool accessories that will optimize the performance of your CNC machines and provide the greatest ROI.
The following article appeared in the April 2014 edition of Modern Machine Shop entitled "CNC Shop Employees Benefit from Robotic Automation".
Manufacturing challenges come in varying degrees on complexity and sometimes it's easy to dismiss an application as too simple to warrant robotic automation.
Stevensville, Montana is not exactly a hotbed of manufacturing. In fact Glacier Tool & Die (GTD, Inc.) is one of only a handful of manufacturing facilities in the area.
Landing a major manufacturing contract in a highly competitive market can be a challenge for any CNC shop. Part of that challenge is satisfying the customer's requirements while still turning a profit.
Investing in factory automation for the first time is a big decision for many CNC machine shops. Questions and concerns you may have are answered in this Case Study.
CNC machines that perform admirably in all other circumstances may simply be unable to master the high temperature alloys that are used for many aerospace parts because the job requires characteristics uncommon to most machines.
According to Joe Serot, Connext Regional Vice President, there are seven common equipment leasing mistakes that he has seen during his 30 years in the machine tool business.
Vertical vs. Horizontal Machining Centers: Which is Best for You?
Both horizontal and vertical CNC machining centers have roles to play in today's competitive world of manufacturing.
According to Gosiger's Marc Goerlich, Director of Technical Sales, the largest users of machined titanium are located on the west coast, primarily in the aerospace industry (especially for landing gears and engine parts).
This white paper explains the advantages of in-process gaging using CAD based measurement software linked to the CNC machine control to provide Coordinate Measurement Machine capabilities within the machining cycle.
If you are considering automating your CNC machining operations but are concerned about the true cost, payback and impact on your overall manufacturing operations, this white paper will help you make a more informed decision.
The prospect of making parts overnight with little or no labor cost is extremely tempting to any CNC machine shop. Competition is keen and customers demand better parts and products to be available precisely when they need them.
We'll expore what hard turning is, its advantages and limitations, the best machine for the job, and how to be successful when implementing hard turning into your operation.
Replacing worn cutting tools is a fact of machining life that we all accept, but that doesn't mean we have to like it. Sure, in the grand scheme of manufacturing costs, the amount of money we spend on tooling is relatively small.
Face it: We're all addicted to our apps. They're on our computers, laptops, iPads and other tablets and, of course, our mobile phones. It seems that there truly is an app for virtually everything we want or need to do — including CNC machining.
Since their invention, robotics for parts machining production have been associated with their fair share of myths. With today's robotics, according to Mark Eddy, Gosiger Automation Division President, these myths are not defensible.
Successful manufacturers understand the importance of improving part-making processes to increase productivity and, therefore, be more competitive and profitable.
It's a constant challenge to make high-quality parts while reducing cycle time, material waste and operator involvement. Yet remaining competitive in today's manufacturing environment demands nothing less.
Generally the more data you have, the better off your shop is when making decisions big and small. But for a small shop, the enormous amounts of data on customers, processes, and parts collected in a shop's day to day business – can be hard to manage.
Are You Ready to Machine Unleaded Brass?
In almost every case producing these parts is unlike making parts for consumer goods, automotive, construction and many other industries. The materials tend to be more exotic, the tolerances are often stricter, and the traceability requirements more stringent.

CANADA TO SOON HOST A 'NATIONAL INTERFAITH DIALOGUE' CONFERENCE……..
Any "inter-faith dialogue" with members of a highly totalitarian/supremacist ideology that refuses to tackle its own record of abuse, intolerance, subjugation, and history of anti-Semitism and out right hatred of 'the other', cannot be trusted to engage in real "dialogue". They can't even own up to Islam's history of African and European slavery, so what can be expected from this "national interfaith dialogue", is more scheming by Muslims to get sharia as common place in Canadian society as possible.
Imam Syed Soharwardy of Calgary.
The Islamic Supreme Council of Canada is planning to hold a national interfaith dialogue with Christian and Jewish leaders in Canada.
Calgary Imam Syed Soharwardy said the council wants to hold a series of interfaith dialogues in all major cities, including Montreal, Toronto, Mississauga, Halifax, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Surrey and Vancouver.
He said the purpose is to discuss: religious and secular fundamentalism and extremism in Canada; the role of religion in Canadian society; the impact of international events on faith communities and their relationships in Canada; the perceived threat of sharia law; Canadian values versus religious values; Jewish-Christian values versus Islamic values; freedom of speech and the freedom of religion in Canada and around the world; and improvements in interfaith relationships in Canada.

Syed Soharwardy is just an hypocrite and has no credibility as far as religion is concerned.
Interfaith dialogue has been described as a subversion of institutions by the one -sided dialogue of islam. It's just another opportunity for islam to promote it's dawah and one way tolerance. Christians and Jews because of their religions are very susceptible to this , like sheep to the slaughter. Call it what it is, infiltration by the muslim brotherhood.

The first one of its three CDs contains material that was supposed to become a studio album before the band broke up. The second CD is for the most part unreleased live material, and the third disc is a live performance by Kullervo Kivi & Gehenna-yhtye at Vanha Ylioppilastalo in Helsinki, March 1990.

A single mom expresses her hopes and dreams for her little baby boy in a letter.
I love you so much, baby. You are the most wonderful baby in the world. I am so proud to have you as my son. You are only six and a half weeks old, but you have grown so much in just this little time, that I know our future is full of happy times and wonderful memories.
Your father and I love you very dearly and though we have a strange sort of relationship, no matter what, we will always be there for you and will always love each other because we are your parents and care so much about you that it bonds us for life. For the many reasons that Daddy and I are not together as a married couple, I want you to always understand and know this for sure, none of those reasons are your fault. You are what drives us to be better people, the best parents, and have a better outlook on life. Your existence makes us whole. I will tell you this throughout your life so that when you read this letter, it will not be the first time that you have heard it. You are my angel.
I love to watch you when you sleep because you look so peaceful. You are at an age where you know no sorrow, no worries, and you are completely innocent taking in the world and having a perfect faith that we all should have, but sometimes lose along the road of life. I wish for you to always stay this way, but I know that that cannot be.
I know there will be times in your life when you will fall, when some kind of pain will find its way into your heart, and when you will start to doubt everyone including yourself. With this knowledge, I also know that I have to teach you the right lessons in life, have to teach you how to have confidence in yourself and give you all the moral foundation that you will need in order to deal with these situations. Never fear that you are alone. You never will be. You have me, you have your father, and you have angels sent from Heaven to watch over you all the time.
There is also one very important person that you have in your life to count on and that is yourself. Always be true to yourself. Never be selfish and don�t ever take anyone else�s feelings for granted or purposefully hurt someone, but always stay strong and true to what you believe in. If you can look in the mirror and like who you see, love who you see, you will be the richest person in the world. You are the most special child in the world and I love you. I pray for you to have a rich life, full of family, friends, love, dreams that come true and everlasting hope. Hope is one thing that can never be taken away and it gives you so much in return. You can carry it in your heart and pull it out whenever you want to, whether it be for a rainy day or one full of sunshine, whether you use the hope for yourself or for others...always hope.
Always remember that you are loved. There is nothing you could say or do that would make my love or Daddy�s love for you any less. It grows every day even though I think my heart is so full of love for you that it couldn�t get any bigger, every moment you�re alive it adds to the love. Please remember also, that you can share anything with us that you want to. We will always listen and will always have advice to guide you with and we will try to always support you even if it�s not something that we agree with.
I sang this song to you when I was pregnant with you and I�ve sung it to you at least once a day since you came home from the hospital. It epitomizes everything I hope and want for you in your life. I love you my darling son, always keep that in your heart.

Q: How to make pycharm use a different cuda toolkit I want to run an MXNet module in GPU.
I have a system which has Ubuntu 18.04 along Cuda 10.0 installed. Apparently this is not covered yet by MXNet binary files so I was focusing on installing 2 cuda versions in my pc (see also here).
Anyway I now have 2 cuda toolkits in my pc in different folders. I need a way to direct my system to use Cuda 9.2 when run from PyCharm. The funny thing is that from a typical console I can run it just fine (at least the MXNet loading part that is of course).
In the module I want to run the program is stuck in:
import mxnet as mx

which leads to base.py in MXNet:
def _load_lib():
    """Load library by searching possible path."""
    lib_path = libinfo.find_lib_path()
    lib = ctypes.CDLL(lib_path[0], ctypes.RTLD_LOCAL)  # <- This is where is throws the error.
    # DMatrix functions
    lib.MXGetLastError.restype = ctypes.c_char_p
    return lib

the strange thing is that lib_path[0] just points to the location of libmxnet.so (which is correct by the way) and suddenly it throws an error:

OSError: libcudart.so.9.2: cannot open shared object file: No such
  file or directory

Even if I follow the error trace the last command is this:
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)

with self._name being the same location of libmxnet.so.
I have tried to make it work by changing the system variable with
os.environ["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] = "/usr/local/cuda-9.2/lib64"

as the second line of the module (the 1st is of course import os!) but this does not seem to work. Apparently it's taken into consideration.
So, how can I bypass this?
Any solution would be acceptable being on the MXNet side or pyCharm side.

A: Well, to make this available to anyone facing the same problem I will post my solution.
I managed to make it work by defining the environmental variable inside pycharm from the run configuration menu (the one that it's available from Run->Run... or Alt+Shift+F10) and defining it there as environmental variable.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /usr/local/cuda-9.2/lib64

I am not sure why for that case pycharm is working fine while when the same variable is defined inside the code it does not though (any explanation welcome).

Q: "The program 'ruby' is currently not installed" error after reboot After the reboot which was required to update all the packages,
ruby -v

doesn't work. It says rails is not installed either, but I guess it should be the similar issue. when I do:
sudo apt-get install ruby

It says the newest version is already installed.
When I do:
dpkg -L ruby

I get the following output:
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
[and other stuff..]

But I realized $PATH already includes /usr/bin:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/ubuntu/.rvm/bin

May I know why I'm still getting the following error message?:
The program 'ruby' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install ruby

My .bashrc already has this too:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin

A: dpkg will be checking in a database that it maintains, whereas trying to execute ruby uses the PATH. If I recall correctly, Ubuntu has a bash handler configured to execute when any command is unresolvable; it seems that it just displays that generic message rather than checking with dpkg first.
It is possible that ruby has disappeared from your filesystem (or at least the directory it previously resided in), or that your PATH was changed.
What do you get if you execute "which ruby" and "where ruby"?
Lastly, Ubuntu can complain that a program cannot be found when it is present. This occurs when running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, without the necessary x86 libraries installed, and trying to execute a 32-bit binary. However, I recall the error message being more along the lines of "file not found".


Vitamin K has been shown to keep your bones strong and help with proper blood clotting. It's also been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and heart health, as well as reducing the risk of cancer. The vitamin is split up into two groups: K1 and K2. K1 is responsible for the clotting factor in your blood and comes mostly from plant sources. K2 activates inactive proteins in the body to keep your all of your systems healthy. Sources of K2 are mainly from animal sources and fermented foods. The recommended daily amount of Vitamin K for females is 90mcg and for males it's 120mcg.

Before I left for Haiti, Carter and I memorized the numbers 1 – 10 in Haitian Creole. I had intended to learn a variety of sewing terms so I might be able to communicate at least a tiny bit with the sewing students, but the only thing I really learned concretely was un, de, twa, kat, senk, sis, set, wit, nef, dis.
Being able to count was more of a novelty than anything else. I didn't really think I'd have any reason to use this itty-bitty bit of knowledge other than to have fun with it. But God is the God of the big things and of the little things, and he can use even creole numbers for his purposes.
Thankfully, the caretaker Ti Fre's son, (pictured standing at the left), noticed my conundrum and saved the day with his excellent interpreter skills, but how fun that God allowed me to use the 10 creole words I knew how to say.
I am excited about this upcoming trip to Haiti for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the opportunity to meet these two boys. We sponsor these guys through Mission to Haiti's sponsorship program and Carter and Owen correspond with them a couple times a year. They don't love to write, but I can get them to sit long enough to pen a couple sentences every now and then. And we just got these new photos and letters from Lucson and Pierre yesterday.
When I found out Lucson and Pierre go to school right next to the place we will be staying, I was thrilled! Carter, Owen, Lewis and I went shopping and bought them some gifts. I can't wait to see them in person.
