Michael Barton comes home to find his infant son gone. There is no trace of the kidnappers, and the police have no leads. Michael is driven by a promise and he will not stop. Detective Jason Strong led the task force to find Michael's son and has become his friend. But as Michael's darkness grows, Jason fears he may be the only one who can stop him. It is a race against time, as the detective tries to stop the events that will change everyone, before it's too late.
Have enjoyed other books by this author. But baby-snatching is not leisure reading for me. Also couldn't get past the mismatch between this narrator and the story. The narrator would be good at reading textbooks.
Suspense about a man driven crazy by kidnapping.
Where's My Son is a solid suspense that starts off introducing us to a nice couple that adopt a baby after three tragic miscarriages. They have a blissful life for 10 years until someone starts harassing the father claiming he stole the man's son. That someone is Michael who was a happily married and loving father until his three-month old son was kidnapped. When Michael's wife dies of cancer three years after the kidnapping, he promises her on her deathbed that he will find their son. The kidnapping changes Michael's life and that of Detective Jason Strong who stay dedicated, even obsessed, with the case for 10 years.
The writer does a good job demonstrating Michael's devastation and slow decline into madness. The pain of losing his son, and then his wife, is so heavy that you want him to take action and find out what happened to his son. However, on the other hand, you see how happy his son is with a loving family who has no idea that their son's adoption was not "real" and that they were the victims of a baby scam.
Rich McVicar's narration really brought the characters to life, completely drawing me into the story. He seamlessly switches between genders and characters with ease. Simply put Where's My Son was a great listen and I definitely recommend it.
What Would YOU do? Great Thriller! !
Where does Where's My Son? rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
'Where's My Son?' ranks in at one of the good audiobooks I've listened to. It was a well thought out story with some really good unexpected plot twists.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Where's My Son??
One of my most memorable moments in 'Where's My Son?' is when Kate and Wade finally get the child they've always wanted. But how? And at what cost? And whose child?
Have you listened to any of Rich McVicar's other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first performance by Rich McVicar that I've listened to but will listen to more of his performances in the future. I like his voice in this story.
I had a reaction of surprise in this story. It went in a completely different direction that I thought it would.
This was a great stay up late, exciting book.. I would love to see a series come out of it possibly built up around Detective Strong. This was a good thriller.I received this audiobook free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review.
This is my first experience with audiobooks, and I'm quite surprised and excited. Listening to the story as opposed to reading it really puts you in the scenes. This may be my first audiobook but it will not be my last. I feel like I've discovered a whole new dimension. From hardback to paperback to kindle to audio - this is pretty fantastic.
My favorite character has to be Det. Jason Strong - I've read other books featuring the detective and I like him a lot.
What about Rich McVicar's performance did you like?
I thought Rich McVicar did a great job with his voice inflections to make the story more listenable. He really made me feel like I was in the moment with the cast of characters. He's a great story teller.
I was so afraid at the end that Michael was going to succeed. I didn't want Jack to find out the truth since he had such a wonderfully loving family.
Short, but an entertaining read.
this is the first book in a series starting this strong Detective. it was a little bit slow at times but mostly the page kept up. It was an enjoyable story. it seems the guy overreact, but I've never been placed in that situation and with mental illness he may have snapped. It was an uncomfortable situation because you had two good families involved. I guess by making the biological father so bad it allowed us as readers to root for the adoptive family. I think the narrator did an excellent job and I would listen to another narration by him.
The story of Where's My Son starts and ends with with a bang! Seriously sad and really pulls on the heart strings as a mother. This book is a series about Detective Jason Strong, but is written and follows the victim and bad guy, not through the eyes of the great Detective Strong. I loved that aspect of the book, following the people involved in the case instead of vice versa.
The book starts with Michael and Tammy Barton having a baby. Baby Christian is taking a nap in his crib while mom Tammy follows suite with a nap on the sofa, while Michael is at work. When Michael returns home from work, he finds Tammy napping on the sofa and goes to check on Christian...he's gone! Wake up Tammy! Where is my son?! Meanwhile Wade and Katie Duncan are expecting their first child. Katie goes into labor at 6 months into her pregnancy. The baby doesn't make it. This was their third child lost, what do they do now?
Let me just start by saying WOW! I have mixed emotions about the story. I loved the writing style, and the characters, but I'm not sure about how the case went down. It is believable, that's not it. I even felt the rage and owned my feelings on revenge! I just didn't feel like Michael got what he deserved...justice. He was a tad overboard with his methods, but can you blame the man! He went through a lot since his son was kidnapped, and he needed closure, hell I needed closure! I was so involved in the story that I wanted to punch Wade in the face for being a lying sack of poop about what he really knew! Wade also withheld a lot of details from not only the police but from his wife! I think this book is a great start to a new series, and I can't wait to dig into the next one! If you love Detective stories Det. Jason Strong is one for your TBR list!
Rich McVicar narrates the first book in a new series, Where's My Son. I enjoyed Rich's voice as a narrator, but when it came to unloading intense emotional dialogue I feel like he fell short. If you are going to narrate a book, there are two ways: 1) Just straight up read it! and 2) Act it out. The narration to me sounded like Rich didn't know which to do, and tried both. I have a saying for this but I will refrain from using it... Rich would have fared a better review from me if he would have just read the book. Like I said, I did enjoy his tone of voice, and how he delivered most of the story. I'm giving Rich 3 stars, and crossing my fingers his performance improves in the future.
Riveting! Didn't even want to stop for gas!
What made the experience of listening to Where's My Son? the most enjoyable?
I listen to audiobooks on car trips and this on made the time pass so quickly! The rhythm of the storyline and the narrator combined to make this flow through my mind like a great movie.
The author, did a great job transitioning between character and time sets, portraying the same incident from two different character points of views.. He was able to take the reader between times and places in such a way that I never felt lost or had the feeling of "wait did I miss something" that happens so often in this style of novel. I must say that this style usually does not flow well in Audiobook form for me but in this case it came together perfectly! Equal credit must go to Rich McVicar the narrator. The skill in his narration is most apparent in the successful character/time transistions.
I have not listened to any of Rich McVicar's other performances, but will be certain to now!
The perfect road trip story!
Very good short story. Amazing that the police couldn't figure it out but the parent did 10 years later.
DISCLAIMER: I received a free copy of this book from in return for my candid review. I really enjoyed how everything came together at the end. And this wasn't a neat and clean ending either, but one to leave you pondering a bit afterwards.


Radio Frequency Skin Tightening helps shrink pores and regenerate collagen to tighten skin in a non-invasive and pain-free manner. With sophisticated devices specially designed to treat men and women's common skin aging problems like wrinkles, sagging, excess fatty tissues or cellulite, Radio Frequency Skin Tightening is becoming a popular choice. Mainly for delivering consistent firming and tightening results. The results can last up to two years!
It is an innovative aesthetic technique. The primary purpose is to increase collagen, a protein that is naturally produced by the body but that which diminishes with age.
Collagen is the most abundant protein (approximately ¼ of all protein) in the human body. Collagen provides body's structure and form. It is found in the bones, muscles, skin and tendons. Not just inside, collagen is found on the outside too. It is in skin, hair, nails and teeth as well. There are 28 different types of collagen with a specific role. The first three are identified as types that tend to dominate the sphere.
Has numerous benefits for health and well-being.
Main component of cartilage and benefits cartilage health.
Body depends on both collagen and cartilage to function normally.
Our body makes less collagen with advancing age. Say, in mid to late 20s, the body stops producing as much as it used to. The levels begin to drop by 1-2% each year. This affects skin's structural integrity. Exposure to the sun's UV rays and smoking also contribute to compromising skin's structural integrity.
What does it lead to? Wrinkles, fine lines and sagging are the first obvious signs. Radiance and fullness reduces. The skin doesn't appear healthy and youthful as before. Further, joint cartilage weakens. Added to this is deficiency in Vitamin C which is absolutely necessary for healthy collagen. This also leads to less collagen and whatever collagen made is of inferior quality. Bones become brittle. New bone formation is obstructed. Capillaries burst. Old scars or wounds don't heal. Old scars reopen as the body is constantly substituting the collagen in scar tissue.
Process of RF Skin Tightening : Actually the idea of using Radio Frequency to heat is nothing new. Your Microwave oven uses RF waves falling under the spectrum of Microwaves - specifically at a frequency of 2450 MHz to heat. Cosmetologists have been trying to use any technology available in their fight against aging. Laser skin resurfacing technique has surfaced. RF Skin tightening - specifically the type which uses RF to heat the skin - non ablative kind (which does not vaporize skin tissues) has gained wider acceptance owing to lesser risks and faster recovery times. Many studies indicated that low frequency Radio Frequency waves from 1 MHz to 6 MHz at fairly moderate power - about 50 W or so caused increase in epidermis temperature to about 35 degree C to 45 degree C (95 degree F to 113 degree F). Many devices available now vary widely in their power output - from 50 W - 250 W. They provide power adjustment controls to modify the power output to suit the area of treatment. They can heat the epidermis to 40 degree C/ 104 degree F while the upper layer of the skin - dermis will rise all the way up to 50 to even 75 degree C. But typically the time duration is about 5 - 10 minutes per unit area of about 1.5 square inch. Most of the time, you should not even feel any pain - Other than the mild discomfort due to heat you may experience when you sunbathe in a tropical climate.
The results can be dramatic. Radio Frequency Skin Tightening reduces the appearance of wrinkles and loose skin. The main physiological effects, you will see are the contraction of collagen in the short term and the stimulation of collagen synthesis through the tissue repair process in the long term. The skin looks enriched with a smoother and more youthful appearance.
If you have decided to go ahead - the very next question to arise would be - is it safe? Yes, provided you choose an experienced provider, such as a board certified cosmetic surgeon, who offers FDA approved or FDA cleared technologies.
Now let us understand how it works. Radio Frequency is (energy) technology. Radio Frequency uses energy to heat the skin below the surface. Heat is the key. The Radio Frequency waves create heat for skin treatments. It heats the different layers of the skin to over 40 degrees.
In the process, the heat penetrates both the epidermis and dermis while protecting the upper visible layers and keeping them intact. This causes the body to immediately accelerate production of collagen and elastin. Two things happen. The existing collagen fibers tighten and the collagen producing cells within the area are stimulated to produce more or new collagen - a process known as neocollagenesis. These devices stimulate changes in collagen conformation and induce neocollagenesis by converting the alternating RF waves to thermal energy induced in deep layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
There is visible immediate change in skin laxity. The skin is smoother, softer with a more youthful appearance. To a large extent, even cellulite deposits are reduced.
Well, you can do this at home and buy a D-I-Y Radio Frequency Skin Tightening kit. Or, opt for a professional who administers Radio Frequency Skin Tightening. For at home use, there are portable devices which are easy to carry in a bag or a suitcase. The kit consists of a clinic skin renewal device, a 50ml preparation gel, a 50ml treatment gel and an instruction manual. In terms of how often to use, it may be one to three treatments a week and for desired results it may take from one to three months.
Call it pre-treatment steps. These aren't absolutely necessary but highly recommended by experts to get better results and to make results last longer.
At least a week earlier, avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory or herbal supplements as it increases the chances of bleeding.
Two weeks before the procedure, do not use self-tanning lotions or tanning booths.
Do not sunbathe two weeks prior to appointment.
Few hours before the procedure, stop using topical creams, lotions on the skin.
You have arrived at the center on the appointed day. Here is what to expect.
Wash face with mild soap and warm water to remove excess oil or cosmetics, if any.
Lay down comfortably on a treatment bed.
Just before the treatment, a numbing cream will be applied to the skin to reduce chances of discomfort, if any.
Numbing cream is used one hour before beginning the actual process.
After ensuring the cream has sufficiently numbed the skin, it will be removed.
An ink grid transfer is used to identify and mark the target area of treatment.
A gliding gel will be applied to the skin to ensure RF waves are delivered to the skin.
Bipolar or multipolar hand pieces deliver RF waves deep into the skin.
It is limited to the select area.
The epidermis is bypassed via a cooling hand piece tip.
This keeps surface of skin cool and comfortable.
After treatment is over, a topical gel will be applied to minimize discomfort.
Make an informed decision. Before you go ahead and spend money on Radio Frequency Skin Tightening, read the FAQ on Radio Frequency Skin Tightening.
Is Radio Frequency Skin tightening suitable for all skin types?
Yes, it is. Anyone who wishes to benefit from tighter, healthier looking skin can opt for Radio Frequency Skin Tightening.
What areas of the body are best suited for Radio Frequency Skin tightening?
Experts opine that Radio Frequency Skin Tightening will not tighten skin in all parts of the body. It is best where there is loose skin with less or not much of muscle attachment. The best areas are the jaw line, near the eyes and on the neck.
Each treatment session lasts 30-40 minutes and depends on the area.
How often should I do Radio Frequency Skin Tightening?
One treatment would suffice to get desired results. A normal course of treatment includes four to twelve sessions. A treatment course of 3-6 sessions is recommended for optimal results. Regular sessions make the skin improve its production of collagen, filling in the lines in the skin, renewing skin contours. Yet, be informed that the results will vary from person to person. It depends on age, lifestyle habits, skin type and medical history etc.
What are the possible reactions after Radio Frequency Skin Tightening ?
Any precautions required while undergoing the procedure?
Avoid doing anything that may damage, irritate or over heat the skin (sunbathing or using hot tubs or tanning beds).
Refrain from applying any creams or lotions that have not been provided to you for the first 90 minutes after treatment.
Do not scratch if scabs are formed. Consult doctor immediately.
Wash the skin with lukewarm water with gentle cleanser for at least 3 days.
Post Radio Frequency Skin Tightening, is there a recovery period ? How soon can I resume normal activities ?
As such there is no downtime. Many persons who have done Radio Frequency Skin Tightening have resumed normal activities soon after the procedure. According to them, the procedure was akin to a warm, relaxing massage. It is also pleasant and comfortable.
Who should avoid Radio Frequency Skin Tightening ?
Anyone with pacemakers, heart valves or artificial metal joints should avoid the procedure. Pregnant woman should not opt for Radio Frequency skin tightening till delivery. People prone to skin infections and allergies should never try Radio Frequency Skin Tightening.

First, Cheektowaga employers may be required to formulate company policies concerning sexual conduct and post them for employees to see. The policies should at least include: contact information for the reporting of sexual harassment incidents, an outline of procedures to be followed in filing a claim, and the remedies available when a claim successfully proven.
Additionally, federal and New York laws create specific agencies which are responsible for handling sexual harassment cases. The agencies are given authority to investigate workplaces in Cheektowaga to determine if the incidents alleged in the complaints they receive are true. Furthermore, these laws prohibit employers from firing an employee for alleging sexual harassment or taking any action in retaliation to a claim.
A claim for sexual harassment may be difficult to investigate and show without the proper expertise in the relevant areas of law. It's fairly common for federal officials who investigate these matters to be overworked. Therefore, hiring an attorney in Cheektowaga can be the safest way to file your claim within the deadlines for sexual harassment claims that New York has defined.


GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) � A spooked cow killed a Palestinian man who was trying to slaughter the beast yesterday during the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Adha, a Gaza health official said.
Muslims across the world slaughter sheep, cows and goats, during the four-day holiday that began Friday, giving away much of the meat to the poor. The Muslim holiday commemorates the sacrifice by the Prophet Ibrahim, known to Christians and Jews as Abraham.
But accidents are common as people frequently buy animals to slaughter themselves instead of paying professional butchers. The festive atmosphere at the site of the slaughtering also tends to make the animals fidgety.
The 52-year-old man died after being trampled to death, and another three people were seriously injured, when the cow ran wild in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah, said health official Ashraf al-Kidra.
In all, he said some 150 people were hospitalized in the Palestinian territory with knife wounds or other injuries caused by animals trying to break away.
Two similar incidents occurred in Pakistan yesterday.
In the northwestern city of Peshawar, a bull escaped from untrained butchers and injured three people, including a 12-year-old boy. Police official Abdul Waheed said dozens of people chased to the bull, and it was recaptured an hour later.
In the southern city of Karachi, a young boy also was lightly wounded by a runaway bull.
Owner Abdul Quddoos said it took two hours to reclaim the animal.
In Gaza, where more than a third of the territory's 1.6 million residents live in poverty and nearly 80 percent rely on food aid, few people ever eat fresh meat regularly, making the holiday a big treat.
During the holiday's first day in particular, Gaza's alleyways and main streets are drenched in blood. Curious, war-hardened children stick their hands in the blood and watch in fascinated crowds as their elders butcher the livestock.
Impoverished families save all year to pay for an animal to slaughter, with many families often pooling their resources.
About 2.2 pounds of fresh beef or lamb costs about $12 in Gaza � more than a day's wage for a worker, said Ibrahim al-Kidra, an agriculture ministry official. He is related to the health official.
He said some 3,700 cows and sheep are imported for consumption on a regular day, while 42,000 are brought in for the holidays. Most of Gaza's livestock comes through Israel's commercial crossing with the territory, he added, although female breeding sheep are still smuggled in.
This represents a change from years past, when Palestinians hauled most of their sheep, goats and cows through smuggling tunnels linking Gaza to Egypt, a move they resorted to because of Israel's blockade on the territory imposed when militant group Hamas seized power in 2007. That blockade has since loosened.
During the festivities, residents give at least a third of their meat to the poor, and another third to neighbors, giving the celebration a sense of communal solidarity.
Public slaughtering is common in Gaza, where professional butcher shops are pricey.
"It's neither healthy nor good. But it's a tradition," al-Kidra said.
"Killing an animal has standards," Sami Abu Ajwa pleaded on Gaza's al-Quds radio yesterday.
He said under Islamic law animals shouldn't see each other being killed, they should be soothed, fed water and slaughtered quickly with a sharp knife to make the suffering minimal.

Binance announces that users won't be able to use SWIFT for transfers below $100,000
Binance informed its users that they would no longer be able to perform transactions below $100,000 via the SWIFT financial network. According to Binance, this was because their banking partner, Signature Bank, had announced they were implementing that floor for all cryptocurrency exchange clients.
Signature Bank has suggested it intends to step back somewhat from the crypto industry. It is one of the relatively few US banks that services crypto clients, and provided services to FTX among others.
Patrick McKenzie speculated that the change might have been related to AML/KYC, and Binance's "Bond villain compliance strategy".

Nexo fined $45 million by US SEC
More bad news for Nexo, whose Bulgarian offices were raided a week prior amidst allegations of organized financial crime. Now, the United States SEC and state securities regulators have fined the company a total of $45 million for violations of securities law — only the latest in a string of regulatory enforcement actions against companies offering interest-earning cryptocurrency accounts or lending services.
In a spin attempt rivaling those of Olympic gymnasts, Nexo wrote that the large fine was good, actually: "Nexo believes that the company has been recognized for what it truly is - a pioneer, like Uber and Airbnb, providing disruptive solutions in a fast-paced environment," they wrote.
In February, following similar action against BlockFi, Nexo stopped offering their interest program to new customers in the US. Now, Nexo will also stop offering its lending product to US customers as part of the settlement agreement.

Genesis files for bankruptcy
The Genesis cryptocurrency lending platform filed for bankruptcy, following weeks of turmoil after the FTX collapse. Genesis halted withdrawals shortly after FTX's failure, and shortly afterwards warned of possible bankruptcy if they couldn't raise at least $1 billion in new capital. The past few months have also featured a public conflict between Genesis, along with its parent company DCG and DCG's CEO and founder Barry Silbert, and the Winklevoss twins behind the Gemini crypto exchange.
It remains to be seen what the impact of a Genesis bankruptcy may have on its parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG). DCG owes Genesis more than $1.65 billion, according to bankruptcy filings, including a $1.1 billion promissory note created to absorb Genesis losses in the Three Arrows Capital collapse.

Seated show with Pitside and Balcony sections. Seats are first come, first pick within the section.
"It's the freest album we've done, the most independent album we've done, and was the most fun we've ever had making a record," says Oliver Wood. "And most importantly, this is the most purely Wood Brothers' album we've ever made." Indeed, The Wood Brothers'sixth outing, 'One Drop of Truth,' dives headfirst into a deep wellspring of sounds, styles and influences. Whereas their previous outings have often followed a conceptual and sonic through-line, here the long-standing trio featuring brothers Oliver and Chris Wood along with Jano Rix treat each song as if it were its own short film. The plaintive, country-folk of the album's opening track "River Takes The Town" gives way to the The Band-esque Americana soul of "Happiness Jones." The wistful ballad "Strange As It Seems" floats on a cloud of stream of consciousness, standing in stark contrastto "Sky High"-a Saturday night barnburner built upon stinging slide guitar funk. "Seasick Emotions" is rife with turmoil, yet "Sparking Wine" is jaunty and carefree.The end result is undeniably The Wood Brothers' most dynamic recording to date. "Often, when you're making an album in the traditional way, there will be a unifying concept, whether that be in the approach to the music stylistically or lyrically in terms over the overallnarrative. And even though there are some themes that revealed themselves later, this one is all over the place," explains Oliver Wood. "What I really love about this record is that each one of these songs has its own little world. Thereare diver-se sounds and vibes from one track to the next." Building off the success of their previous studio album, 2015's 'Paradise,' which was dubbed "the warmest, most sublime and occasionally rowdiest Wood Brothers release yet," by American Songwriter, the band found themselves at a fortuitous crossroads. Following a tour with Tedeschi Trucks Band, high profile festival dates and sold out headline shows, the band felt free from the cyclical album release, tour, write, record and do-it-all-over-again pressures of the traditional music business.

Q: Synchronous loop with async calls This is what I need to accomplish:
I have a function (we will call it thePromise) that returns a promise.
I have an array containing different arguments to run thePromise.

I will sum the resolved value to a variable, let's call it total.
Here is where I'm stuck:
I need to run the promise with the next set of arguments only if the result of the promise summed to total is below a defined amount.
I tried to use async.each(), but this doesn't work becouse the next promise is called before I call the next() function.
Current (not working) solution:
async.each(paramaters, function(options, next) {
   thePromise(options).then(function(value) {
      total += value;

      if (total > 10) {
        return next('limited');
      }
      next();
   }).catch(next);
}, function(err) {
  if (err && err !== 'limited) { // Handle error }

  // Handle success
});

A: You need to use async.eachSeries, from the docs:

The same as each, only iterator is applied to each item in arr in series. The next iterator is only called once the current one has completed. This means the iterator functions will complete in order.

This way you can acheive a synchronous iteration of async calls

Kaitlyn Siragusa (Amouranth) Wiki Bio
Kaitlyn Siragusa was born in Houston, Texas USA, on 2 December 1993 so under the zodiac sign of Sagittarius and holding American nationality – better known online as Amouranth, she is popular for her modelling career, and for her amazing cosplaying skills.
Tell how much spicy you can handle, then check the link in bio to see if it's too much ??
A post shared by Amouranth | MEMES NINJA (@amouranth) on Apr 16, 2019 at 11:10am PDT
Kaitlyn fell in love with cosplaying at a very young age during her second year of elementary school, and has never stopped since. Kaitlyn is somewhat secretive when it comes to her early life, as she hasn't shared much about it with the public – she was supposedly liked by her peers in high school because of her nice style and her great skills at cosplay.
Not much is known about Kaitlyn's parents as she hasn't talked about them – she is said to be very respective of their privacy, and it is only known that they are middle-class people both born and raised in the US. It is said that Kaitlyn is an only child.
After she matriculated from high school, Kaitlyn decided to focus on her career, and continue cosplaying rather than to enroll at college and pursue a degree.
Career of a model
Kaitlyn is a special kind of a cosplayer who designs her own costumes – most cosplayers around the world order their costumes online or ask professionals to design for them, however, Kaitlyn does everything herself. Thanks to her skills and to the fact that she was attending every single cosplaying event, she was spotted by Houston Grand Opera and Houston Ballet in 2010, and was invited to work for them as a costume designer.
Kaitlyn was intrigued by the offer and accepted – it was her first job of this kind, and she enjoyed working for the Houston Opera as it gave her an opportunity to improve her skills, and to meet a lot of people from the industry she loves the most. It also made it possible for her to attend numerous cosplay conventions organized around the country.
Kaitlyn Siragusa
Five years after she started working for Houston Opera, Kaitlyn launched her own character company called A Charmed Affair. The company has a single goal which is to fulfill the wishes of children who would like to see their favorite heroes and princesses during their birthdays and other events. Judging by the company's website and social media accounts, it seems to be working very well.
Even though Kaitlyn is not really an actress, she had a wish of appearing in a movie or TV series, and it happened when she appeared in "The Little Couple" Discovery Network production, which originally aired on TLC.
Her idol and inspiration
As with most people, Kaitlyn's inspiration didn't come out of nowhere. She looks up to popular Chinese-American cosplayer Yaya Han, including for his skills at costume design – Kaitlyn's dreams are apparently about to come true, as she has announced that she is soon going to start working with Yaya Han on an important project.
Kaitlyn is also very popular on internet platforms such as YouTube and Twitch – she launched her YouTube channel on 17 January 2011, and her description reads 'Hi, I'm Kaitlyn, otherwise known as Amouranth. I'm a cosplayer and a variety streamer. Here you'll find cosplay videos, parodies, vlogs, convention adventures, and whatever else! Subscribe to join the Famouranth!' The channel is currently followed by more than 225,000 people, and counts over 15 million views of all her videos combined – Kaitlyn uploads a variety of content including online challenges, random events from her everyday life, while she is also advertising clothing of several brands.
She often goes livestreaming on Twitch, currently having more than 1.1 million followers, making her the most followed Twitcher when it comes to cosplaying – her livestreams have so far been viewed nearly 84 million times.
Love life and relationships
Kaitlyn is very secretive when it comes to her love life, and hasn't shared any details with the public. She avoids talking about her past boyfriends, and isn't interested in answering questions regarding whether or not she is currently seeing anyone. As with most other celebrities, there are rumors surrounding her – she is rumored to be going out with a certain Nick Lee, which started thanks to Kaitlyn's Instagram account. Some people have claimed that the two got engaged a couple of months ago, and that they've already exchanged their wedding vows, however, none of this has been confirmed by the popular cosplayer.
Besides cosplaying and modelling, Kaitlyn is a huge gamer and finds most of the motivation for her costumes while she is playing video games. She loves watching movies which is another place where she finds motivation – she once dressed as Harley Quinn from the "Suicide Squad" movie released in 2016. She enjoys watching animated movies and TV series – her favorite animated TV series is "Pokemon", and she also loves movies made by "Disney", and in love with art and musicals in general. She is a big animal lover, especially dogs and horses. She also exercises, even visiting the gym a couple of times a day – she also occasionally goes running.

My name is Mari Spetz, and I've worked in this type of role for 18 years. I work with an extremely professional team of wonderful colleagues, consisting of internal project managers and external professional business and conference interpreters.
So what is business and conference interpreting?
In brief, our role involves simplifying communication at international meetings, regardless of the native languages of the participants and speakers. Our professional interpreters ensure that the choice of words, the nuances and the technical terms are conveyed in full. Our job is to ensure that you get the best interpreting solution for each individual occasion, whatever the language, type of meeting and location, and we ensure that any necessary adaptations are made in order to achieve this.
We enable all participants to express themselves in their native language and to listen to a language they fully understand. This type of interpreting is suitable for various kinds of meetings, such as scientific conferences, product launches, negotiations, seminars, delegation visits, AGMs, board meetings, press conferences and training sessions. Our customers are therefore a mixture of authorities, importers and exporters, organisations and associations, universities and colleges, legal firms and event management companies, and so on. Some are Swedish, and some are based abroad. It is the meeting situation rather than the number of participants that determines what a business and conference interpreter can facilitate.
We have a very large and unique network of quality-assured interpreters. At conferences, for example, we work with simultaneous interpreters who are members of the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC). These interpreters are well qualified after many years of conference interpreting, and often have experience of working at the various EU institutions.
How does an interpreter work in these contexts?
A business interpreter works in contexts such as business negotiations, study visits or training sessions. Here, the most common method is dialogue interpreting, whereby the interpreter interprets several sentences at a time. In certain situations, whispered simultaneous interpreting is preferable. This involves the interpreter quietly interpreting while the speaker speaks. If an interpreter will be carrying out whispered interpreting for several people at the same time, portable equipment is generally needed.
Conference interpreting is mainly carried out at conferences and other meetings with many participants where there is a need for interpreting in more than one language direction. The most effective and most straightforward solution in such situations is simultaneous interpreting where the interpreters sit in soundproof booths and interpret while the speaker speaks. The listeners hear the interpreted speech through personal headphones at the same time as the original speech.
If you need business or conference interpreting or would simply like to discuss the available options for different meeting contexts, just get in touch – we have a wealth of knowledge and experience at your disposal!


Ashbourne prides itself on offering a vast array of different subjects for students and due to the flexible timetable, is able to offer GCSE students a variety of choices when deciding subjects other than core required subjects (Mathematics, Science, English Language and English Literature). Additionally, A level students are given flexibility because we permit any subject combination.
Each year, Ashbourne offers students different choices.
As stated earlier, Year 12 and 13 students are permitted to take any combination of subjects.
Usually, Year 12 students will take 4 subjects and decide to continue with 3 subjects for Year 13.
Year 10 students are allocated 4 hours per week for Mathematics, 6 hours per week for Science & English and 2 hours per week for the remainder of their subjects.
Year 11 students are normally allocated 4 hours per subject, except for GCSE Science, which is allocated 8 hours per week.
Year 12 and Year 13 students are allocated 6 hours per subject per week, except for art subjects, which they are timetabled for 8 hours per week.
Year 13 students taking modular subjects (non linear), will be allocated 1 hour per subject per week to revise modules covered in Year 12 to help prepare for them to retake these modules in the summer.
Year 12 students will usually take C1, C2, M1 and S1 in Year 12 and C3 & C4 in Year 13. For further information about Mathematics at Ashbourne, please refer to the Mathematics policy.
For HT1 and HT2, Year 12 students will be allocated 4 per week for their chosen Arts subject (Fine Art, Graphics, Textiles or Photography) and will join the Arts Carousel for 4 hours per week, which will expose them to a variety of different arts. After HT2 students will decide which Art subject to specialise in.
Students who take Art, Craft and Design (ACD), a combination of two Arts subjects, will have 2 hours per week for each of their ACD Arts subjects and 4 hours per week for the Arts Carousel. After HT2, they will be given 4 hours per week for each of the Art subjects that they decide to specialise in.
In Year 13, Arts students will be given 8 hours per subject per week. For ACD students they will be given 4 hours per week for each of their chosen ACD Arts subjects.
Arts students will also have the chance to attend Life Drawing classes that take place from 6-8 on Wednesday and Portfolio classes (Year 13 students) that take place on Thursday 6-8.
All timetable choices must be communicated to the timetable team before 6pm on 30th June. Any changes after this date are subject to confirmation from the Director of Studies.
The decision makes sense from an academic point of view. For Year 13 students, the Director of Students may not permit students to take a subject where it is felt that it is not realistic for the student to be able to gain a B grade or above for A2.
Ashbourne always tries to be flexible with students. Our first value is "students come first" and we try and take on board all of the feedback from students to try and tailor their education to suit their needs.
Special requests must be communicated to the timetable team before 6pm on 30th June. Any changes after this date are subject to confirmation from the Director of Studies. If the special request involves changing teachers in a subject after the timetable is set, please note that Ashbourne does not permit this. In general, only where a Safeguarding concern has been raised will Ashbourne allow group changes and/or timetable amendments later within the calendar year.

SEESEN, town in Lower Saxony, Germany. Throughout its history the Jewish community of Seesen was small, its numbers never exceeding 200. In 1801 the financier and Court Jew Israel *Jacobson founded and richly endowed the Jacobson Schule in Seesen as a means of implementing his humanistic and reform ideals. Modern subjects and vocational instruction were emphasized. The school began to accept Christian pupils in 1805, and later in the 19th century lost its Jewish character. In 1810 the Seesen synagogue (the controversial Jacobsontempel), featuring for the first time in Germany an organ, choir, and sermons in German, was consecrated as an offshoot of the school. There were 54 Jews in Seesen in 1819; 178 in 1871; and 209 in 1895. In 1852 a nonsectarian orphanage was founded by Jacobson's son Mayer. It was closed in 1923 and reopened in 1929 as a Jewish youth sanatorium. Only 30 Jews lived in Seesen in 1933, when Jewish teachers and pupils were expelled from the school and its foundation funds confiscated. After World War II, a short-lived community of 60 was established, but by 1952 only nine remained. A liberal Jewish community was founded in 1997. It numbered 43 in 2005. All the members are immigrants from the former Soviet Union. They use a room in the original Jacobson school. The community is a member of the Union of Progressive Jews in Germany.

29250 Panorama of Medical and Nursing Staff at Yungaba Kangaroo Point Military Hospital 1917
During the First World War over 57,000 Queensland men and women served between 1914-1918.
On 3 September 1939, Australia entered the Second World War, sending just under one million men and women into battle, between 1939 - 1945, this time experiencing conflict in Northern Australia, the Torres Strait and North Queensland.
In recent decades, Queensland's sons and daughters have served in conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, and Papua New Guinea, including peace-keeping service in East Timor.
Explore the collections housed in the John Oxley Library, search the resources compiled during the First World War commemoration and learn more about the impact of war on the people of Queensland and the Homefront.
Troy Rodgers collection
The digital photographs in this collection include pictures of Australia's Federation Guard, World War II veterans, and military portraits of Troy's father and grandfather who were both from Queensland.
During his service, Troy served in Papua New Guinea (1997-1998), Bougainville Island (1999), East Timor (1999), Afghanistan (2002) and Iraq (2005). He served initially as a Queensland reservist in the 25th Battalion then enlisted into the Regular Army as an Infantryman with the 6th Battalion the Royal Australian Regiment (6RAR) in 1990.
After six years he transferred into Army Public Relations as a photographer where he completed 16 years in the regular Army and discharging in Townsville. [Acc 31926]
Mal Lancaster photographs Royal Australian Navy and Defence Public Affairs
The 51 digital copies of photographs by award winning military photographer Malcolm (Mal) Lancaster record his military service with the Royal Australian Navy (1959-1969) and as a civilian with the Office of Air Force and Defence Public Affairs (1969-2000).
During the Vietnam conflict, Mal's images and film footage were seen in Australian homes for the first time. He also captured the moment F-111 aircraft arrived in Brisbane, the coronation of the King of Tonga and the 1982 journey of lone British rower Peter Bird on his epic journey from the US to Australia. Newspaper clippings summarise Mal's contribution to recording this history through photography. [Acc 31655]
John Thomas Castles World War Two Photograph Album, 1941-1946
This collection of 460 original photographs, mostly identified, records the entire wartime service of 2nd Lieutenant John Thomas Castles of H. Battery, 2nd Battalion, 94th CA (AA), United States Army.
He refers to views of 'Doombon' (Doomben) 'Archer Field' (Archerfield) and Lennons Hotel in Brisbane; kangaroo hunting and a property on the Reid River where the U.S Army Air Force established an airfield. Townsville and Magnetic Island are represented and over 100 photographs of Horn Island in the Torres Strait where he was stationed. [Acc 28220]
Australian Women's Army Service Association Queensland Inc. [1941-1947]
The Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS) was formed in 1941 with the approval of Sir Percy Spender, Australia's Minister for the Army. The Women's Australian National Service (WANS) had previously demonstrated that women were capable of filling roles traditionally filled by men.
The objective of AWAS was to release more men for active service by employing women in roles such as first aid, signalling and mechanics. The AWAS was demobilised by 30 June 1947. [Acc 3336]

Victory in Europe Day was declared on 8 May in 1945. Celebrations in Australia were more muted as fighting in the Pacific continued until August. Anzac Square was described as ablaze with floodlights attracting an estimated 10,000 people.
Lieutenant Patrick McHugh collection
The four albums documenting Patrick McHugh's service include interesting captions and images of Australian troops. Born in Atherton, Queensland, on 5 August 1916, he enlisted for World War II service in Townsville on 27 March 1941.
Research uncovered

One of the most beautiful moments of the day (while in separation) is when my Twin Flame falls asleep. I can't know what he's going through in his daily life, but I can feel how his busy mind takes a break for a while, how his body relaxes while his worries are drifting away every night.
When he closes his eyes it starts to feel so peaceful and safe… His soul is free. It can travel back home and I can feel how happy it is. This is the time I can physically feel his presence in every inch of my body. It's impossible to describe this feeling - it's like diving in the ocean full of unconditional love. Total bliss… Sometimes it's so intense that I have a hard time returning to my daily duties and responsibilities. I just want to stay there... Forever...
And when I feel his soul leaving and this loving warmth pulling away, I want to catch him with my hands and hug him tightly in my arms. Unfortunately, his invisible body can't stay. It has to go back to his physical body which is waking up, to continue his story called "Life". It's passing through my fingers like smoke... It feels like trying to catch sparkling dust dancing with a beam of light in the air...
It feels like a part of me is suddenly missing... I can only hope to meet him again in my dream state. I wish to be there for him as he's here for me. Always…❤

The authors of CEPR DP6477 believe that it is important to provide a model-based macroeconomic estimate for the cost of wage discrimination to aggregate output. They find that the costs are indeed quite substantial which should be a certain concern in any macroeconomic policy aimed at increasing output per capita in the long-run.
It is widely recognised that gender discrimination is a pervasive and costly phenomenon and all economies, to a greater or lesser extent, present a gender wage gap which results in lower female labour participation rates and higher fertility. The authors of CEPR DP6477 believe that it is important to provide a model-based macroeconomic estimate for the cost of wage discrimination to aggregate output. They find that the costs are indeed quite substantial which should be a certain concern in any macroeconomic policy aimed at increasing output per capita in the long-run.
The authors design a growth model in which, by choosing suitable values for the parameters, the baseline economy mimics the performance of the actual U.S. economy. Then it is possible to compute the output cost of an increase in discrimination and the findings show that a 50% increase in the gender wage gap leads to a decrease in income per capita of a quarter of the original output. The explanation involves two effects: a direct decrease in the female labour market participation and an indirect one through an increase in fertility.
Overall, for several countries a large fraction of the actual difference in output per capita between the U.S. and the different economies is due to gender inequality. For countries, such as Ireland and Saudi Arabia, wage discrimination actually explains all the output difference with the U.S. Moreover, the authors find that the increase in fertility due to discrimination is responsible for almost half of the decrease in output per capita. Therefore, many countries may increase their output by discouraging gender inequality and promoting better use of their workforce.

A: Try changing the justify-content for the team. Don't really know about your environment and your preview


We've got to act to protect consumers first. Whether they have traditionalhealth care coverage or managed care, we have to make sure they don't haveinferior care.... [W]e will never have a health care system as strong asit can be unless we strengthen our efforts to root out fraud and abuse inthe Medicare program.
Today President Clinton addressed the Service Employees InternationalUnion Legislative and Political Action Conference. In his speech, thePresident announced the addition of three new weapons to the anti-fraudarsenal to combat fraud and abuse in the home health industry. Inaddition, President Clinton called on Congress to take immediate action topass existing legislation toimprove consumers protections and quality health care.
Declaring a First Ever Moratorium to Allow New Protections and Safeguardsto be Put in Place. The moratorium will give the Administration theopportunity to implement new regulations to provide better safeguards andprotections to screen out problem home health providers. This action isconsistent with strong evidence that the best way to stop fraud and abusein our Medicare program is to prevent "bad apple" providers from everentering the program. Home health care is the most rapidly expanding partof Medicare, with nearly 100 new home health providers entering Medicareeach month.
Imposing Tough New Standards on Home Health Agencies Through a NewReenrollment Process. Under this new rule, the Health Care FinancingAdministration (HCFA) will re-enroll home health providers every threeyears. Home health agencies will be required to submit an independentaudit of its records and practices at the time of re-enrollment. The newregulations HHS will implement during the moratorium will apply to allhome health agencies -- making it easy to kick out "fly-by-night"operators who are more likely to cheat Medicare. Currently HCFA can kickproviders out of Medicare only if they have been convicted of fraud.
Doubling the Number of Audits and Increasing Claims Reviews to Weed outBad Apple Providers. HCFA will nearly double the number of comprehensivehome health agency audits it performs each year -- from approximately 900to 1800. They will also increase the number of claims reviews by 25percent from 200,000 to 250,000. This increased oversight will build onHHS efforts already underway to increase investigations, prosecutions, andaudits under Operation Restore Trust, the Department's comprehensiveinitiative.
Ban Drive-thru Mastectomies -- Allow Women to Stay in the Hospital atLeast 48 Hours Following a Mastectomy. The President strongly encouragesCongress to hold hearings and pass this bill -- legislation that wouldensure that a women will be allowed to stay in the hospital at least 48hours after undergoing a mastectomy. It would guarantee that decisions ofwhen to leave the hospital are made between a woman and her doctor ratherthan a health plan.
The President also called on Congress to pass two other bills currentlybefore the legislative body that he has already endorsed. (1) Put inplace anti-gag rules that give patients the right to know their treatmentoptions and (2) prevent health plans to discriminate on the basis ofgenetic information. The President also urged Congress to passlegislation to adopt the new strong federal standards on medical privacy.


Big news! We need more room....good for you because everything in the store (except handcrafts and sale items) are 25% off for one day only.
The big day is Saturday June 11, 2016 from 10am to 4pm. Build up your stash, buy that notion or tool that you really, really want.
Remember, this is a one-day sale only.


Fear sells, and the media loves it. If it's scary, no matter how tenuous the link or inconclusive the study, you are going to see it on the news. How many times over the years have you heard that your cell phone might give you brain cancer, even though it never turns out to be true? Once such a claim is made, however, it becomes lodged into the public's psyche and is accepted as true, even after refutations and retractions are published (see Wakefield, Andrew).
Typical alarmist fear-mongering. When has any health care professional claimed that radiation is harmless? This is not cutting edge research; Wilhelm Röntgen, the discoverer of x-rays in 1895 and winner of the Nobel Prize in 1901 for his research in the field, advocated the use of lead aprons for protection from the ionizing radiation way back when. Further, trying to lump one study linking dental x-rays to meningioma to another study linking them to thyroid cancer is taking quite the kitchen sink approach. But if there are multiple alleged possible potential theoretical adverse effects from our dental death rays, it must be true, right?
Let's play a fun game. We'll ask you, the astute and intelligent reader of the Science Based Medicine Blog, to recall your dental x-ray history for your entire life. Can you recall the exact dates when a full series of radiographs were taken? What about a panelipse? Corrected tomograms? Cone beam films? Individual films called periapicals? What about bitewing x-rays?
Not very well, did you? Well, don't feel badly; we're dentists and we wouldn't be able to recall our own radiographic history from memory even if threatened with homeopathic hemlock! Asking meningioma patients if they remember having x-rays, and comparing with the memories of people not preoccupied with having brain tumors, is not only inaccurate, but also raises the obvious possibility of reporting bias by the study participants.
We are also concerned that the authors apparently did not survey for other potential confounding factors, such as tobacco history, diet, occupational exposures, etc., or if so, they were not disclosed in the paper. It might even be that having had dental x-rays is correlated with going to the dentist regularly, and that those people are also more likely to see a physician regularly and have a timely diagnosis of medical conditions like meningioma. Or perhaps people who live healthy lifestyles and thus have healthier teeth and gums require fewer dental x-rays over their lifetime. In this scenario, quantitative measurements of dental x-rays are an indirect indication of systemic health, and thus meningioma risk. Who knows, but the point is that there are a myriad of risk factors not considered in this study, and the one variable they attempted to measure was vague and nebulous.
And One More Thing. We are really getting a bit tired of hearing everyone who publishes or pontificates about x-rays opine sagely that x-rays should only be used where necessary, as if they have invented the concept of radiation hygiene. This implies that physicians and dentists routinely take unnecessary x-rays. But this is not a new idea. Keeping radiation exposure As Low As Reasonably Achievable is a cornerstone of diagnostic radiography, and has been for decades. It's called the ALARA Principle, and it has been taught to everyone who uses x-rays in Medicine and Dentistry for ages. If you go to your dentist (or your physician) and announce that you don't want any unnecessary x-rays he or she is NOT going to say "no problem — we never really needed the ones we used to take!". If he or she is any good, chances are that radiographs are prescribed (and that really is the correct term) because the diagnostic benefits of the bitewing or the angiogram vastly outweigh the risks. It's good to discuss this with your healthcare provider, but bear in mind that doing many invasive procedures without the benefit of adequate diagnostic radiographs is often regarded as malpractice, and for good reason.
And One More One More Thing. We have devoted most of this blog post pointing out some of the flaws of this study and how it may have adverse effects upon your dental health. We would be remiss, however, if we didn't point out that the fallout from studies such as these rests squarely upon the shoulders of irresponsible reporting by the media. In a desperate battle for viewers/listeners/readers, these stories are belched to the public uncritically, with fear being the primary angle. Rarely is equal time given to rational responses, and sadly, the personalities who spout the loudest are often physicians contracted with the news networks. This is unfortunate for many reasons; among them being that 1) as doctors, they should know better; they should read the article themselves and be able to interpret it correctly, and 2) their opinion is held in high regard by the public, making our job of discussing it with our patients that much more difficult. We can't tell you how often we have heard from our colleagues the fallout we've received when the Great and Powerful Oz (a cardio-vascular surgeon) informed his disciples that one can effectively whiten one's teeth with raisins and lemons. Not only is that patently false; it's harmful to teeth, as putting something almost as corrosive as battery acid on one's teeth is generally frowned upon in the dental community.. Stories such as these can often create a wedge in the relationship we dentists try so hard to establish with our patients.
So, do dental x-rays cause meningiomas? We have criticized the original article and the reporting thereof, but the fact remains that we don't know. They might, of course, but unfortunately the article only gives us a smattering of data that may or may not be relevant. The signal to noise ratio contained in this study was too low to be of much use, and it's hard to understand how higher-dose x-ray exams could be safer than the lower dosed single bitewings, or why far higher doses from other sources would not contribute to the same problem. Hopefully a more thorough study will be done to add to our body of knowledge and either confirm or refute the findings of the original article.
We do hope this has helped pull at least some of you back from the brink of a total freakout about your next dental visit. If you still need more dental fear, stay tuned — we hope to tell you soon about another dire threat from your dentist: silver amalgam fillings.

U.S. veteran spreads awareness for Post Traumatic Stress
By Irene Rondon / Tuesday, 24 May 2016 12:49AM
A Conroe resident and his service dog went for a walk on April 16 and they have not stopped since then. Ken Meyer and his white dog 'Hope' are walking all across Texas to raise awareness for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
A U.S. Air Force Security Police veteran is marching 628 miles around Texas in a march he has called 'Never Quit March.'
This was part of a campaign he's carrying out about the awareness of Post Traumatic Disorder. Interestingly enough for a local veteran, Meyer is also LSF Retreat Attendee, Advocate and Volunteer.

As part of his campaign motto, Meyer excludes the 'D' from PTSD because he states that the word "disorder" causes confusion. People who are not aware of the mental condition may have a misconception of Post Traumatic Stress. When hearing the word disorder in no matter circumstances, people tend to stigmatize the issue and the main idea of his cause might get lost in the way.
On April 16, Meyer started the journey at 10 a.m. from VFW Post 4709 in Conroe down to Galveston's Bolivar Peninsula. On May 28, Meyer hopes to attend to Texas Frog Fest 2016. The event intends to offer a sort of tribute for veterans and their families. It's worth mentioning the event includes a getaway as well as counseling sessions.
During his 628 miles march, Meyer has alternated between 19 and 22 miles per day. All along his way, he has tried to spread a message of awareness for 'PTS' and to educate about the purpose of the Lone Survivor Foundation. Notably, Meyer is one of the most renowned advocates within the foundation.
Good luck Ken Meyer 628 mile march w/ service dog, Hope on walk Never Quit March 4 Post Trauma Stress Awareness w/ all $ to @LS_Foundation
— John Carter (@JudgeJohnCarter) March 31, 2016
Also, Meyer's miles per day has meaning he wants to expand. On one hand, 19 miles to honor the 19 servicemen who died during Operation Red wings, a military operation during the war in Afghanistan in 2005. On the other hand, 22 miles stand for every 22 U.S. veterans who commit suicide per day.
Meyer also states that veteran's daily suicides are not reported by media or any entity and for him, it is a tragical statistics that he uses as a motivation to walk further spreading PTS awareness.
PTSD is a mental disorder that can develop in people who have suffered or faced a shocking, dangerous or scary event. These traumatic events weaken the human mental stability and the trauma occurs. With his campaign, Meyer hopes to raise awareness nationwide about the seriousness of this condition in those who have served their country.
'Meyer's experience with Post Traumatic Stress
Meyer has stated he tried to commit suicide three times. He affirms his post-traumatic stress disorder started when he found a partner who had killed herself in a car. Meyer affirms that his post-traumatic condition started with vivid nightmares about gunshots, deaths and the smells of bloodshed.
However, the trauma was just beginning with the car's suicide. After participating in deployments in Bosnia, Croatia and Honduras, his memory was all full of dark scenes that were hard to leave behind.
When Meyer realized he had tried to commit suicide three time he looked for help, but, those traumatic events lasted four years before he "put his gun down and went out for help". Meyer is aware of what is the internal struggle soldiers go through after living war's terrifying events. And this is way he is walking to honor casualties and to help those who are in a dead-end street.
