Karan J. "Ma" Peasley
West Belvidere, NY - Karan J. "Ma" Peasley passed away on Monday, September 17, 2012 shortly after her arrival at Jones Memorial Hospital. Born on August 2, 1953 born to Todd H. and Carol Gates Peasley, in Spokane, WA. she spent her childhood years living and working at the family business in Hinsdale, NY until moving to Olean. She graduated from Olean High School in1971 and continued her formal education at Alfred State College, graduating in 1974 from the Medical Records program.
Her career in medical records began as a transcriptionist at St. James in Hornell and Jones Memorial in Wellsville. She went west for a period of time and speant a year exploring southern Arizona in the 1970's before settling down to become a wife and mother. She married Phillip Robins in 1975 (who predeceased her in 1991) and they were blessed with two children Kristofer 1979 and Kara in 1981. Karan worked for the Rochester Psychiatric Center in the late 1970's/early 1980's and was instrumental in the formation of the frst on-site Day Care Center in Monroe County. She relocated to Flagstaff, AZ for a period of time in the late 1980's furthering her career by becoming the Director of Medical Records at the Flagstaff Medical Center. The challenges of being a single mother never hampered her upbeat personality and sense of right and wrong. She moved her small brood back to New York in 1991 where she reconnected with her family and realized her professional dream by becoming the Director of Medical Records at Jones Memorial Hospital (Wellsville) until her retirement in 2004.
Karan had a quirky sense of humor and used it in her struggles through this life on Earth. She was very dedicated to her large circle of friends that she'd accumulated over the years. She was a life member of the Belmont Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary and volunteered much of her time advocating for the Southwestern Association of Volunteer Fireman. Karan was passionate about antiques. She loved auctions and yard sales and relished the idea of getting a "good deal". She loved following politics and made herself crazy following politics. She described herself as a very opinionated citizen and always said "that you can't complain if you don't vote." She held so much wisdom and was a mentor to the youth of the area. She "adopted" many kids and her home was always open to anyone in need.
She is survived by her husband, Lane Baggett, her daughter, Kara Janice Robins of Rochester, two sisters, Lori A. Crawford of Jonestown, PA and Sharon K. Bennett of Hinsdale, a brother, Dennis Peasley of Olean, several nieces, one nephew, and a multitude of friends and extended family. She will also be missed by "the guys" her many feline friends.

John Francis Biedakiewicz
Wellsville, NY - John Francis Biedakiewicz, 63, died Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at the Hart Comfort House. He was born in East Chicago, IN the son of John and Jane (Witczak) Biedakiewicz. On April 17, 1982 in Highland, IN, he married Rada Boljevic who survives.
John was employed at Combustion Engineering in East Chicago, IN and Air Preheater Company in Wellsville for 35 years. He served in variety of positions and ended his career as a project manager. He was a member and past president of the Wellsville Rod & Gun Club for several years and was a proficient trap, skeet and sporting clays shooter. He raced in motocross, played tennis and golf and was a scuba diver. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and boating; especially with his sons. He was an avid baseball and football fan, a Civil War buff, a supporter of Wellsville Lions Basketball and enjoyed going to the Little League World Series. He could fabricate and repair about anything and was a member of the Immaculate Conception Church.
Besides all these wonderful accomplishments and traits, John was also just a genuinely good man. He loved to share his vast array of knowledge with anyone who was interested. This being said he taught his sons so much, such as how to take down trees, swing a golf club, and use a clutch. But the single most important thing he had taught them was how to be gentlemen. He showed them the importance of chivalry, helping others out whenever possible, and the simple but strong impression of saying "please" and "thank you". They were incredibly blessed to have a father like John, and proud (to say the least) to have him as their father. He will be forever loved, and always missed. We like to think he's where the fish are always biting, the greens are always cut, and the sun is always shining. He will never be forgotten.
Surviving in addition to his wife are two sons, John Biedakiewicz of Wellsville and Nicolas Biedakiewicz of Syracuse, his mother, Jane Biedakiewicz of Schererville, IN, a brother, Michael (Arlene) Biedakiewicz of East Chicago, IN, three sisters, Cindy Biedakiewicz of Schererville, IN, Geralyn (Jason) Kirk of Gary, IN and Janis (David) DiMichael of Hessville, six nieces, Ashley, Rhianon, Melissa, Raven, Sabrina, and Angel, and one nephew, Jason. He was predeceased by his father and a sister, Barbara Ann Biedakiewicz
Friends are invited to call on Sunday, September 16, 2012 from 2:00to 4:00 and 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the J. W. Embser Sons Funeral Home Inc. in Wellsville.

A study on female condoms
By Hidden Pockets July 22, 2016
Female condoms? Yes they do exist! It isn't a fiction but are yet to be condoned socially.It exists materially but is a thing which is only present in thought for the Indian populace. A thing yet to be brought to use because somehow condoms are synonymous to male condoms in popular conception. So let's find out for ourselves what is a female condom and how is it used?
A female condom is a barrier contraceptive device that is used during sexual intercourse to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs such as gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV) and unintended pregnancy. It is a thin plastic pouch that fits upside down in the vagina. The closed end is held inside by a flexible ring attached to the condom, and a larger ring holds the open end outside the vagina. The pouch collects semen and prevents it from entering the vagina. It is worn internally by the female partner and provides a physical barrier to prevent exposure to ejaculated semen or other body fluids. The first female condom was Femidom, invented by Danish MD Lasse Hessel was launched worldwide in 1991.
Keeping in mind that it's been 25 years that it has been in use, what one wonders is why has it not been a popular mode of contraception in the Indian context. Why for an average Indian a condom usually means or refers to a male condom and i-pill becomes the sole representative for women to avoid unwanted pregnancies? All these thoughts led us to create a survey about awareness on existence of female condoms (FCs).
Check out our video on how to use a female condom.
Results from our Survey:
We collected a survey of 21 people and asked them the following:
Awareness about female condom: 18 of 21 people said yes that they were aware about its existence.
Chemist, online stores, Apotheka (Cosmetic shop)
Usage: Most haven't used it. 17 of 21 to be precise.
Recommend others to use it: Yes, Safe thing to have in the bag, good alternative for most even if they have not used it yet.
Condom Brand and rates: CUPID (Rs 170/- for a pack of 2 on Flipkart), Velvet (Rs 115 for a pack of 3 condoms on Amazon), FC2 (not available in India yet).
The responses received clearly shows that if marketed well, women see female condom as a good alternative to the male condom. It gives more control to women over their bodies and also during the act. Alternatively, emergency contraceptive pills which are commonly used are expensive and have become the 'go-to' option for most women although it doesn't guarantee 100% protection against pregnancy.
Apart from chemist shops and medical stores, the availability of female condoms in cosmetic stores such as Apothem, that make it easily accessible and keeps one away from the judgements and stigma around it.
Even when female condoms aren't advertised much, most people who participated in the survey were aware of it. This clearly shows that women are looking for alternatives to male condoms and emergency contraceptive pills. When it comes to using it, the usage is low. The reason could be lack of knowledge around where to buy it, or how to use it or the naysaying partner who isn't comfortable with the idea of entering a plastic coated vagina.
Government Initiatives:
HLL Lifecare Limited, a Government of India Enterprise has released its female condom brand Velvet which was launched by Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare J.P. Nadda at the two-day National Family Planning Summit in April 2016 . Velvet is indigenously developed natural latex-based female condom.
"The objective of HLL's R&D center is to provide men and women the best and affordable reproductive health solutions. Enabling women to make decisions about when to have children will not only reduce unplanned pregnancies but also lead to healthier families and communities," said Dr. M. Ayyappan, CMD, HLL.
Female condoms seem to have a brighter future with Velvet, a much welcome government initiative. The next step in this process will be education and awareness. It would be interesting to see how the government creates awareness about female condoms among women throughout the country.

Navigating the Archipelago, Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 2015 video
Navigating the archipelago - Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 2015 - 10th September - There is no doubt that the sailing waters of Northern Sardinia are some of the finest in the world. The rugged beauty of the Costa Smeralda attracts the fastest and most advanced racing yachts and the top professional crews. But the fantastic jagged rock formations which make this coastal landscape so impressive also extend below the surface. They create a maze of hidden undersea obstacles that every navigator is determined to avoid.... Published on Sep 10, 2015
Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup: "September 12, 2015 The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup saved the best for last with a gloriously sunny, windy day on the Costa Smeralda. The 19-knot breezes provided a thrilling finale to the 26th edition of a spectacular regatta that is the cornerstone of a longstanding partnership between Rolex and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS). Bella Mente: In fine spirit In the Rolex Maxi 72 World Championship, owner Hap Fauth steered Bella Mente to victory, reclaiming the title he last held in 2012...."
Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup: "Comanche is on a globe-trotting quest to prove that she is the world's most powerful and technically advanced monohull of the modern era. There are few better ways to validate that claim than to compete in three of the most prestigious Rolex sponsored events in her first year on the water. At the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup for the first time, for sheer speed there is no other boat that can touch Jim Clark and Kristy Hinze Clark's 100-footer. Yet there are still very good reasons for this state-of-the-art yacht being here in Porto Cervo, as skipper Ken Read explained: "The priority for the boat is to take part in every great offshore race on the calendar. So far we've done a Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, we've raced across the Atlantic, and we've done a Rolex Fastnet Race." It has been an incredible start for a yacht that was only launched at the end of 2014, withComanche establishing her credentials as the fastest offshore monohull in the world with a searing pace across the Atlantic in July, quickly followed by line honours victory at the Rolex Fastnet Race in August."

Hire Purchase car finance (HP) is one of the more simple and traditional ways of financing a vehicle. An agreed amount is paid over a time period of 12 to 60 months and in some cases, an initial deposit will be required. However no deposit car finance is available. These steps are taken instead of paying for the value of the car in one big payment.
As is the case of most other loans, interest is added to the loan amount. Therefore, it's wise to assess your monthly income and calculate whether you will be able to afford the proposed outgoings. It should also be considered that a 10% deposit may be required in most scenarios.
Hire Purchase is a good option to consider if you are looking for bad credit car finance. Hire Purchase means you eventually own the car, which is unlike any other means of finance. In addition, having to repay a monthly amount of a loan can help increase your credit score, as well as having the option to own the car at the end of it.
Another advantage of Hire Purchase is the ability to budget your funds correctly. From the outset, you will know the total outgoing each month, including the fixed interest rates.
During the process of Hire Purchase car finance, a loan is secured against the car until the last payment has been made. Therefore, the hire company will own the car until all outstanding payments have been cleared, which can be done over a period of 12 to 60 months. The hire company also has the power to take the car away from you if any payments are missed.
When considering Hire Purchase car finance, it's important to consider the deposit and the amount you are willing to pay. Essentially, your loan will be lower if you pay more towards a deposit.
One of the disadvantages of Hire Purchase car finance, is that essentially, you're tied into a contract for one to five years so you have to be certain it is the right option for you. You should also consider that even though you are not paying a lump sum upfront, the monthly payments with added interest will usually amount to more than you would have paid for the car outright.
After considering all the information on Hire Purchase, there may be other avenues you want to explore. Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) is suitable for those with a good credit rating, where Hire Purchase caters for those who don't necessarily have a good credit score. In a PCP finance arrangement, you will only borrow the amount the car will depreciate by. At the end of the contract, a balloon payment will determine whether you can own the car or not. This is optional and is only necessary if you want to own the vehicle.
Another car finance option is Leasing – Personal Contract Hire (PCH). You pay a fixed monthly amount which covers services and maintenance, providing the car does not exceed a certain mileage. The downside to this is that you will never own the car but on the other hand, the addition of including maintenance and services means the total monthly cost works out cheaper overall.

Brazil Maru was a Japanese cargo ship requisitioned by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II as a troop transport and prisoner of war (POW) transport ship.

Japanese POW transport ships are usually referred to as hell ships, due to the notoriously bad conditions aboard and the many deaths that occurred on the ships. The Japanese did not mark their prisoner transports, leading to numerous casualties from friendly fire attacks.

On December 27, 1944 Brazil Maru, along with Enoura Maru, were enlisted to transport the survivors from such an attack, by American forces on  in Subic Bay. Although both ships had been hauling livestock, no attempt had been made to clean out the manure prior to the boarding of the prisoners, nor was any food for the prisoners loaded. They docked at Takao (now Kaohsiung) in Japanese Formosa on New Year's Day 1945. Enoura Maru was bombed during an American air raid on Takao on January 9, and the surviving prisoners were loaded onto Brazil Maru. It departed on January 14 bound for Moji, where it arrived on January 29. An estimated 500 prisoners died aboard Brazil Maru during the voyage from Takao to Moji, although sources vary.

Brazil Maru was sunk by a mine at Kobe on 12 May 1945.

Ozark County commissioner Greg Donley estimates that repairing this section of County Road 142, which runs between Souder and Rockbridge, will require about 1,047 tons of gravel. The road was extensively damaged in the floods of spring 2017.
The county has a "staggering amount of rock to haul" to repair damage from last year's historic flood, Ozark County Western District Commissioner Greg Donley said Monday at the weekly commission meeting. While the east side of the county "only" needs about 80,000 tons of gravel for road repairs, the west side roads will require an estimated 204,000 tons, which equates to about 17,500 dump-truck loads, commissioners said.
With five trucks hauling six loads a day, working four 10-hour days a week, Donley estimates the project will take two years to complete. "A vast majority of the roads will see base rock added, some culverts replaced and several low-water crossings repaired or replaced," he said.
The western district currently has only three trucks, but the county opened bidding recently to add two more trucks to its west-side fleet.
Summit Equipment of West Plains presented the winning bid of $119,810 per vehicle for the two trucks. The dump beds will come from Bus Allen of Springfield.
At their Feb. 12 meeting, the commissioners voted to accept Southern Bank's bid for 2.96 percent to finance the trucks. Donley expects the new trucks to be here by June 1, bringing the county's fleet to nine total trucks.
Discussing questions they had received about road closures related to last weekend's heavy rains, the commissioners reminded residents they can only provide information for county-maintained roads and bridges. It's up to the Missouri Department of Transportation to determine whether state bridges are safe to cross, they said.
The high water deposited debris and caused some gravel washout on the County Road 318 bridge over the North Fork River at Dawt and at Warren Bridge over Bryant Creek on County Road 328. But both bridges were cleared and reopened Monday. Eastern District Commissioner Gary Collins said a slab will be poured at one end of the Dawt bridge to prevent future washouts.
On the west side of the county, the crossings at Haskins Ford and Steel Tracks both remained closed due to high water as of Monday evening.
