Borrowers Eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness Face Massive Delays on Student Debt Relief

After a decade of painstakingly tracking student loan payments, some borrowers on the cusp of loan forgiveness have found themselves stuck in a cruel final stage: the waiting period.
Borrowers in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program are reporting waiting for up to six months for approval of their forgiveness applications, often with little explanation why. Even though loan payments are paused for pandemic relief, borrowers still worry whether their approval will be processed before payments are set to resume in October. What's more, they face the stress of knowing a change in their employment status could upend years of careful preparations.
Data released by the Department of Education last week show a paperwork backlog of about 147,000 forms — though the agency didn't release the breakdown of how many of those were applications from borrowers who've made the required number of payments for forgiveness versus applications from those still in process who are submitting annual updates. The Department of Education did not respond to questions about the delay.
Public Service Loan Forgiveness, often called PSLF, was created to offer loan relief for borrowers who spend at least a decade working in often low-paying government or non-profit jobs. Borrowers have to make 120 qualifying monthly payments before getting their loans cancelled.

Amy Cocuzza hit that 120 mark in January, after years of diligently monitoring her progress. She figured hers was a simple case: she'd worked as a lawyer for a federal agency for 10 years and submitted annual employment certification forms in recent years that showed she had made the required number of payments.
So when she submitted her application, she had no reason to think it'd be denied. But as weeks turned into months with no word, her anxiety grew. She started checking her account five, six, then seven times a day. There was, after all, a lot on the line. She'd planned her entire career and financial life around this promise.
"It just disappears into a void," she says. "There's no transparency. There's no communication. You just don't hear anything for months and months. And you start thinking, 'uh oh, did I miscalculate somehow?'"
In the nearly four years since the first borrowers became eligible for forgiveness through PSLF, the program has gained a reputation for being a bureaucratic mess. Stories of servicers miscounting payments or borrowers getting conflicting information about whether their employer is eligible for the program are common. Denial rates remain high, so that even borrowers who say they've triple checked their eligibility can't ignore lingering doubts that their loans won't in fact be forgiven when they're in this final stage of waiting.
The delay can take a huge mental toll on individual borrowers as they sit and wait for months, says Seth Frotman, executive director of the Student Borrower Protection Center.
"It's just another insult to injury for borrowers in this system," he says. His organization is particularly concerned if the government turns on payments before the backlog of forms is dealt with.
In some cases, there's more on the line than just the discomfort of waiting. The program stipulates that borrowers not only make 120 qualifying payments while working for an eligible employer, but that they are still working for an eligible employer at the time their loans are forgiven.
That requirement added to the stress for Melissa Pennise, of Rochester, N.Y. as she waited. She applied for forgiveness in January. She works in public health at a non-profit organization, and like most non-profits, resources can change based on funding year-to-year. What if her job had been eliminated when this year's budget was set in April?
That, thankfully, did not happen. And she logged on last week to find her $104,000 balance cancelled.
People who've worked toward forgiveness for a decade-plus want to move on with their lives, she says. "But you can't do anything until those loans are gone."
In the past few years, FedLoan, the servicer hired by the government to run Public Service Loan Forgiveness, has gotten a lot better at giving borrowers up-to-date information about their progress toward loan forgiveness, Pennise says. But once she'd applied, it was a lot harder to get answers. (FedLoan referred questions about the wait time for forgiveness to the Federal Student Aid office at the Department of Education.)
Borrowers like Pennise have taken to Reddit, Facebook and Twitter to swap stories about what to expect in the absence of more official information.
It's not just people who are at the end of the road who are dealing with delays. Borrowers who are trying to certify their employment or get an updated count of how many qualifying payments they've made are reporting similar delays.
Arthur DeVore III submitted his paperwork to certify his employer in December. He's still waiting. He also has private loans, so every month, when he pays his private loans, he calls to check on the status of his PSLF employment certification form. He works for the City of New York's Equal Employment Practices Commission. It's a local government agency, so it should be a cut-and-dried case.
"I'm frustrated because this should not take this long," he says. "What kind of extreme verification process do you have that this is taking seven months?"

Refinance My Student Loans
Under normal circumstances, receiving a final notice of loan forgiveness under Public Service Loan Forgiveness typically takes between 45 and 90 days, according to Betsy Mayotte, founder of The Institute of Student Loan Advisors, which offers borrowers free advice on student loan repayment. The timeline is definitely longer than that now, she says, likely because of disruptions brought on by the pandemic.
She expects the timeline to shrink again over the next few months. And the government has created a new tool that should help speed up the process of certifying employment if your employer is already in the system as one that's been approved for PSLF. Mayotte says that, anecdotally, borrowers who have used the tool seem to be reporting a much shorter timeline than people who submit their paperwork by hand.
One simple improvement, in the meantime, would be if borrowers were given clearer information about the timeline when they applied for forgiveness.
"Even if the time frame is not ideal, at least it sets expectations," Mayotte says. Right now, instead, some borrowers report that the customer service representatives say they are not allowed to give any timeline. So, people call repeatedly for updates or submit multiple applications, which only further clogs the system, Mayotte says.
That tracks with what Cocuzza went through. When she first submitted her application and asked for a timeline, she remembers being told it could take two or three months. But on subsequent calls to FedLoan, she got inconsistent answers.
"My sense is that you could probably call three times in an afternoon and get three different stories about what's happening with your application," she says.
Despite those challenges, Cocuzza's is a success story. Last week, after 154 days, she logged on on after lunch — her second check of the day — to find her application had finally been processed. Her loan balance dropped from $227,609 to $0.
"When I realized that the loans had zeroed out, I just started sobbing."

SEPARATE YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS.. It's estimated that 64% of couples pool funds, and only 14% keep separate accounts. You should keep a joint account to shared expenses and a separate account for your own personal spending and saving. This will help both spouses track and manage their spending habits.
TIL DEBTS DUE US PART. Debt is a major reason for marital splits. Let's face it, once you get married, the debts become a shared responsibility (maybe not legally.. i'm referring to practical matters now). Get together with your spouse and make a plan to retire those debts. The sooner you eliminate pre-marriage debts, the less chance of future arguments.
SHARE INCOME INFO. One of biggest concerns is disclosure. Has all income being disclosed to each other? Each year, when income taxes are filed, both spouses should be present and review each other's tax returns. Take the mystery and guessing if incomes out of the equation.
SHARE ASSET INFO. Any investment or bank account statements should be reviewed shared regularly.. at least annually, but preferable semi-annually. This will help you track investment performance and allow both spouses the opportunity to watch their wealth. Fewer secrets is best for all.
MAIN INCOME EARNER PAYS PARTNER AN ALLOWANCE. Doing this will empower the receiver to manage their finances. It gives them financial responsibility. And should a marital split occur in the future, then finances can easily be tracked back and fewer money arguments will ensue.
SPEAK WITH YOUR OWN FINANCIAL ADVISOR, MORTGAGE BROKER, INSURANCE BROKER, LAWYER, etc…I can't stress this point enough. Get independent, unbiased advice. Someone that doesn't know your spouse. It's about 'no potential conflict'. Take no chances. You'll never second guess if your advisor had your best interests at heart.
And if you have a question or just want some advice, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to share my opinion or offer any assistance.

Frederick Jowett (c1851-1921)
Shire Secretary
Location: CofE*Z*603
Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, Jowett spent a short period in New Zealand before migrating to Victoria where he was for several years Town Clerk at Horsham. Appointed Shire Secretary of Caulfield (1887-1921) over some 200 applicants on 3 February 1887, Jowett soon became a 'super-citizen' serving on innumerable local bodies earning high praise for "his courteous, gentlemanly demeanour". During the period as Shire Secretary, he oversaw an increase in the population from 2,554 to 42,000, and the rateable value from £85,000 to £531,663.
As President of the Metropolitan Town Clerks' Association, Jowett was acknowledged as an authority on the Local Government Act – his counsel was "frequently referred to for decisions by Town Clerks of other municipalities, as well as by members of his own Council".
Residing at Wyuna – 25 Wyuna Road, Caulfield, he died on 1 July 1921 after being granted extended leave in March 1921; the Jowett Memorial Drinking Foundation outside the Glen Eira Town Hall on Hawthorn Road was erected in his honour. Amongst the pall-bearers were the Mayor Cr John Packer and Sir Robert Best (1856-1946).

Blog: Embedding a culture of public engagement
By Cassandra Hugill and Dr Charlotte Thorley
Since 2018, the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging have been running a long-term culture change study on the attitudes and perceptions of staff towards public engagement. In 2020, the study found that the culture of public engagement remains strong and is something the Centre and the public engagement team should be truly proud of.
"Over the past 3.5 years it has been a joy to work with the staff at the Centre to foster a strong culture of public engagement. The passion of the research teams has really made this work possible and I am looking forward to building and continuing this important work."
– Cassandra Hugill, Public Engagement Manager
Staff at the Centre not only value public engagement but understand the importance of two-way mutually-beneficial engagement practice. Some respondents* were particularly grateful for the support of the public engagement team, but overall a lot of support from colleagues and managers was felt.
Staff understanding of the purposes and possibilities of public engagement has improved significantly since 2019. Respondents felt that the ability to share the potential benefits of their research to society and the societal and ethical considerations of their work were the most important elements of their public engagement work.
Time constraints continue to be cited as the number one barrier to contributions to engagement, which is something future studies will explore further. While some staff felt they were not the right seniority level to be doing engagement, this was not reflected within senior management, demonstrating their commitment to public engagement.
Over 77% of respondents felt they were supported by both their managers and colleagues in getting involved in public engagement, although 12% felt their colleagues are supportive, but their manager was less so.
Line manager approval, pre-organised activities and support from colleagues were the most important factors in getting involved in public engagement. While we know that public engagement is highly supported by the Centre, it is now important to focus on ensuring that support is felt across the Centre as strongly as possible. Staff overall feel positive towards engagement, but the opinions of colleagues and peers weigh heavily on them when deciding whether to get involved or not, both positively and negatively.
"It is a privilege to be watching the culture of engagement flourish at WCHN and I am so impressed at the thoughtfulness of the work being done. I have no doubt that next year we will see even more improvement and understanding."
– Dr Charlotte Thorley, Public Engagement and Involvement Consultant
Overall, there is a strong culture of public engagement which is improving each year. While the next survey will capture the impact of COVID-19 on our work, these results drive the engagement team to continue the work that we do.

ND's driving under influence of drug laws questioned

By Kalsey Stults
BISMARCK -- One local woman is looking to challenge the North Dakota laws in place for driving under the influence of drugs.
Jan Kuhn, director of Sacajawea Substance Abuse Counseling in Dickinson, stood before law enforcement officials involved with the North Dakota Association of Counties on Thursday to ask members to sign a petition to amend the current driving under the influence of drug laws.
Kuhn said the penalties for driving under the influence of drugs are far less than alcohol because how vaguely the law is written. The North Dakota Century Code only states a person cannot drive under the influence of any drug or substances to a degree which renders that person incapable of safely driving; or if they're under the combined influence of alcohol and any other drugs or substances that make them incapable of driving.
Kuhn is proposing a bill to make .05 nanograms the legal limit for marijuana and other drugs to better enforce driving under the influence of drugs laws. Kuhn said this number is the same threshold currently used in Colorado, Washington and Oregon.
"Basically we are brainstorming on what it would cost for the departments," Kuhn said. "A lot of things have to be put in place, but we are starting the conversation."
Dickinson Police Sgt. Nick Gates said the current cost for a drug recognition expert training is around $6,000, which is paid by the department and are held throughout the country.
"There's not enough places to train drug recognition experts and the requirements are pretty stringent," Kuhn said. "So you know, departments need grants to send their people to training. "
Gates, a drug recognition expert, knows how stringent that training is. He needed 100 hours of drug training, two weeks of in-classroom training and one week of on-site training to achieve the distinction.
During his training, he went to California and had to test individuals under the influence of drugs to be able to properly identify them.
Gates is in support of having more trained drug recognition experts in the state. He said with this bill, it would also be easier to identify those with drug addiction and legally get them the help that they need.
"You would be able to track people that have a problem," he said. "If nobody forces their hand on getting clean, they won't get clean."
However, Dickinson Police Capt. David Wilkie said he is concerned about how much this bill would cost law enforcement departments.
"This would have to be financially affordable for a department," he said.
Wilkie said it would also mean having more staff unavailable to complete these specified trainings.
He's also concerned with the costs for testing. Currently, the Dickinson Police Department sends its urine samples to a national toxicology lab in California for testing.
"If you do 150 DUIs a year and you are going to start charging $85 a test to do all of those, it is going to significantly impact the budget of a department," he said.
Those suspected of driving under the influence of drugs in North Dakota are currently urine tested, though Kuhn said she hopes the state will adopt saliva testing like in Colorado.
"In Colorado right now, they are doing a pilot program using hand-held saliva rapid instruments so they can get accurate readings on the nanogram levels instantly," she said.
Her hope is the tool would be made available to every drug recognition expertofficer in the state.
Sen. Kelly Armstrong, R-Dickinson, noted there are many more steps that must be taken before Kuhn's proposal can be passed legislatively.
"Our law enforcement is busy and they are doing their best to protect our community," he said. "We have to make sure that if we do something like this that we give them the resources to implement it, because otherwise it would not be fair to local law enforcement for the Legislature to go and write some sweeping legislation without a mechanism for them to implement it and make sure they have the resources to do it well."
Kuhn said she hopes the association will give their answer on the petition in September after they have had time to discuss the issue and their concerns in depth.
In the meantime, she said, "I'm going to continue pushing legislators on moving forward."
Kuhn said she hopes to see this bill passed sooner rather than later.
"I'd like no less than two years and if anything would happen in the Legislature about legalizing marijuana in the state of North Dakota, then I would absolutely say than, 'Before you legalize it marijuana, you would have to have DUID laws on the book,'" she said.

But he's always responding super-late with one-word answers.
On the plus side, you get to think about what you're going to text your crush instead of having to come up with cute, clever things to say on the spot.
But the downside is it's really hard to tell for sure if someone you're texting is really into you or just stringing you along.

can friends help me to overcome these obstacles?

A: I suggest you to use print and see your data result from api-call..
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'dart:convert';
import '../model/login_model.dart';

class APIService {
  Future<LoginResponseModel> login(LoginRequestModel requestModel) async {
    String url = "http://192.168.100.211:8080/login";

    final response = await http.post(url, body: requestModel.toJson());
     print (response)
    if (response.statusCode == 200 || response.statusCode == 400) {
      return LoginResponseModel.fromJson(
        json.decode(response.body),
      );
    } else {
      throw Exception('Failed to load data!');
    }
  }
}

Fleet News Awards winner: Bullish Mercedes-Benz talks up electric appeal
26/06/2020 in Case studies
Mercedes-Benz has enjoyed a strong period of sustained success in fleet dating back to the launch of the third-generation A-Class in 2013.
Over that time, its true fleet registrations – as a measurement of 'contract hire/leasing' and 'fleet other' by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders – has risen 49%, from 53,600 to almost 80,000.
Mercedes-Benz's own true fleet calculations, which remove certain channels from fleet other, put the number at 63,067 cars in 2019, a year in which it collected best compact premium car for the A-Class and best premium car for the C-Class at the Fleet News Awards. It represented a small 2% fall year-on-year in a sector down 6%.
The priority this year is to build the momentum by targeting growth in the corporate and SME (small-to-medium enterprise) markets.
Head of fleet sales Tom Brennan is bullish about the opportunities for two reasons: new product and a restructured fleet team.
One year on from his appointment, Brennan has divided his team into three components: leasing/Motability, rental and end-user/retail. He recognises that it follows a path well-trodden by other manufacturers, but it is a fundamental change from the previous structure which lumped together end-user corporates with leasing.
Brennan has also created four new roles: two contract hire and leasing managers (one for north and one for south), one fleet operations manager and an aftersales development manager.
"We made the changes last October and it will help us to grow in the SME and corporate markets," says Brennan in his first official interview with the fleet press.
"It feels like there is big pent-up demand in fleet and we expect to see a move back from grey fleet and PCH because of the BIK options offered by ultra-low emission vehicles, especially BEV and PHEV."
Under its Ambition 2039 strategy, Mercedes-Benz is targeting a carbon-neutral car fleet within two decades for which it requires more than half of global sales to be full electric or plug-in hybrid by 2030.
Ten battery electric models will be launched by 2022, of which three – including EQV (V-Class) and EQA compact car – are scheduled in the UK this year.
"We are building 50,000 EQs this year. In the UK, we hope to have a sizeable chunk of that, especially as we go into Q2, 3 and 4," Brennan says.
He is confident of fulfilling fleet demand for electric product; unlike some manufacturers, vehicles will not be exclusively reserved by deposit, which has excluded many businesses from placing a pre-order.
"We see a bigger opportunity in fleet and so we will have the supply to deliver our growth ambitions. I've built my team around this product," he says.
Consequently, the roll out of electric and PHEV models is crucial to Brennan's fleet aspirations, not least as they counter the potentially damaging impact of the WLTP tests on diesel/petrol CO2 emissions.
He is dismissive of the Government estimations of a 10% jump in emissions as the figures move from NEDC to WLTP – "it is absolutely not what we are seeing" – with Mercedes' own data showing 20% increases for petrol and 30-40% rises for diesel. Conversely, CO2 emissions have fallen slightly for plug-in hybrid models as the battery element is more prevalent under the WLTP test cycle.
"The biggest issue is the data – it doesn't exist in the way it should," Brennan says. "It can require API (application programme interface) links, which are hard to manage, and you have a range for emissions dependent on the model derivative. It's a grey area."
Nevertheless, Mercedes-Benz has supplied all its data to leasing companies and pricing guides, assisted by a model simplification strategy which removed low uptake single options and created packages with high uptake single options and model lines.
This has reduced the data complexity and will enhance residual value forecasts as the packaged options now have a Cap code. Simplification also makes it easier for drivers to build their car online, catering for the growing demand for digital purchasing.
With the rise in CO2 emissions due to WLTP, does Mercedes-Benz anticipate a move away from diesel towards petrol? Brennan sees it as less a migration, more an opportunity to attract new customers.
"Diesel still has a role to play, especially in small cars," he says. "In bigger cars, E-Class upwards, because of BIK, it will be more challenging. Here, we see a move to PHEV and BEV."
The one caveat to a full-blown stampede towards electric is the uncertainty created by muddled Government messaging.
"We need clear policy and the infrastructure," he says. "Home charging is critical and work charging is very important. But we need public charging – our view is that it's there when it's needed."
In 2019, Mercedes-Benz increased its rental registrations in three of the four quarters, taking it to a year-on-year rise of 12.5%, although Q4 was down 58%. It was the second fastest growth channel, behind Motability which was up 36%.
Despite the rise, rental accounts for a manageable 7.8% of total volume, behind the industry average of 9% and it is lower than BMW but higher than Audi.
"We have a stable supply of rental; it will ebb and flow, but we don't see it changing," says Brennan. "We have a fixed position with our big five rental partners where we manage the supply. It's a good marketing opportunity and they are also being used for car clubs as well."
He adds: "We see Motability as an opportunity for our network, especially with small cars. There is no remarketing risk because they are good three-year-old low mileage vehicles."
Mercedes-Benz established its CASE (connected, autonomous, shared services and electric) division four years ago to future-proof the business. Research is continuing across all elements, but the two most relevant for today are electric and connected.
The company is building a business version of its Mercedes Me driver app to help fleet decision-makers and leasing companies manage their vehicles more efficiently.
It will offer a pick and mix for customers with real-time data on driver behaviour, car tracking/location, usage/utilisation, SMR diagnostics and even predictive maintenance. Already available in Germany, a UK launch is imminent.
"We have sight of the customer types and where we want to go first," Brennan says. "It will come with a cost, so we have to look at where the most value is for fleets and leasing companies."
Mercedes-Benz has a three-pronged attack in the electric market:
1. EQ Boost: mild hybrid and hybrid assist
2. EQ Power: plug-in hybrid including A-Class, C-Class, E-Class and S-Class
3. EQ: full battery electric, including EQC and Smart ForFour and ForTwo

Music Monday – Tell me why?
February 8, 2016, by Vadim, posted in Music
This weeks edition of Music Monday is brought to you by our very own Patrick Dunne, enjoy:
I recently found out that you guys have an anime music blog.
So when the Prez asked me if I wanted to write about music……about anime music. I couldn't really care, but because I love you guys, I'm willing to give you a sloppily written Sunday hangover review about my journey into the heart of madness that is the world of anime music.
There is one song, that –only you Hipsters out there will get– that I love more then "Cruel Angel's Thesis".
And that song is…. (*Drum Roll*)
'Tell Me Why' -By the Penpals.
Look, There's no secret that I'm the #1 fan of Berserk in Oceania.
But "Tell me why" is the worst OP for any franchise ever made. Particularly for a show that is a rad as 'Berserk.'
For those of you who don't know what a Berserk is, it is a 1997 slice of fantasy life anime adapted from Kentaro Miura's 1989 critically acclaimed Manga. It follows a young man named gutz in a time of social upheaval as he explores the meaning of friendship, gets caught in comedic situations, and even finds love while all struggling against his own existential crises.
Berserk is like 90's Naruto and One Piece, If you like these cartoons then you would love Berserk. But Berserk is better because

Music Monday – Knockin' on the Golden Age
February 6, 2012, by Alex, posted in Music
With all this new-fangled anime I think it's about time to take Music Monday back to it's roots… or at least to a period where music was a much more valuable asset to anime than it is today – where music would make a good series great and memorable. So I think it is more than appropriate to again give Yoko Kanno the spotlight (this being the umpteenth time) for her music that defined a period of anime that remains unparalleled and completely untouchable – all you composers – you Gotta Knock a Little Harder~

In celebration and commemoration of Yuko Miyamura and Tiffany Grant's awe-inspiring appearance at Smash! last Saturday, the natural thing to do would be to feature the famous 'A Cruel Angel's Thesis'. However, following in the same vein of what Gainax is doing with Rebuild of Evangelion nowadays, I also thought that it would also be appropriate to present an alternative version – a retelling, if you will – of an old classic.

Stealing this idea off of another blog, every Monday we'll be posting up a music clip that caught our attention in the past week.
To start this off I thought I'd take it back to, for what many of us, was the start. Neon Genesis Evangelion was for many anime fans the first series that they latched onto. Either from late night SBS showings or terrible quality VHS recordings, Evangelion had a lot of people clambering for more and the same. The anime had a depth that people could explore, themes that everyone could relate to (even if it was just teen angst) and a level of maturity that people hadn't seen before in "cartoon" form.
Even despite the endings of the series (note the plural) dicking us around, it has maintained a level of following that really hasn't been seen since. And with the remake movies coming out, there seems to be a lot of renewed interest in the series. And that's why its this week's pick for Music Monday.
They just don't make anime like they used to.

Combat NCD with Curative and Preventive Healthcare
By Cephas Larbi	 On Jun 23, 2018
Dr Henry Nagai, a Public Health Physician, has called for the urgent need of the country's health sector to focus on preventative and curative care simultaneously to reduce non-communicable diseases especially diabetes and hypertension.
He recommended that the move could be done in a number of strategies including medical outreach at various religious and social gatherings as well as screening relatives of patients who visit the hospital for medical care.
"Most of the non-communicable disease does not show major signs. Blood Pressure and diabetes have no notice symptoms until it gets to an escalating stage where the fellow gets a mild stroke before it is detected," he said.
Speaking at a symposium in Accra organised by the University of Ghana Medical School Class of 1998 to mark their 20 years after medical school, on the theme "Double Burden; of Communicable and Non-Communicable diseases", Dr Nagai suggested that various hospitals and public health workers needed to collaborate and work together towards reducing death through early detection.
He said that one out of two people in the country is prone to have high blood pressure while between one and two persons out of 10 people were likely to have diabetes.
He appealed to traditional, opinion and religious leaders, as well as social event organisers, to include health screening in their activities to keep their people healthy.
Meanwhile, Professor Agyeman Badu Akosa, former Director-General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS) reiterated the need for regular physical exercises in order to keep the body healthy.
He said non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and diabetes were steadily causing more deaths as a result of lack of regular exercises by many people.
Prof Akosa described the situation as alarming and stressed the need for Ghanaians to change their attitude and use part of their leisure to engage in exercises to keep the body strong.
Questioning why leaders and management of the country continued to seek medical healthcare outside the country, he said the trend showed the country had many problems in the health sector.
The Former Director-General of GHS said the country's health sector was riddled with many challenges from inadequate personnel, tools, equipment, resources and drugs.
Due to the many challenges in the health sector, patients now resort to prayer camps when they are sick and only visit the hospital when the situation worsens.
He urged Ghanaians to have a positive change of attitude and take their health seriously.

COVID-19: Parallels from the past, and hopes for the future
Posted on November 28, 2020 by Sabina Becker
Back in the 1940s and '50s, a spectre was haunting young people the world over. Its formal name was poliomyelitis, but it was informally known as "infantile paralysis", because of its propensity to afflict the very young. For many, it was actually a killer. For others, it fell in varying degrees of severity, from asymptomatic or barely detectable to downright paralytic.
My own grandfather had it as a young man in northern Germany; he had a mild case, but it left him with a crippled foot. His toes were curled under due to shortening of the tendons in his sole; they had to be cut so that he could walk again. The slight resultant disability kept him out of the military — which was fine by him, as he wanted no part in that fiasco. But very near the end of Hitler's disastrous war, when, while still in a hospital bed after a follow-up treatment, he was visited by stern-faced military recruiters, he "volunteered" to join the Kriegsmarine. It was that or be conscripted by the Wehrmacht and sent to the eastern front. If you got sent east, you went to Siberia and never returned. He couldn't walk without limping, so long marches were out of the question, but he could drive a horse-drawn supply wagon, so that was what he did. Until the British front passed over Nordrhein-Westfalen, he drove a team of horses, supplying the German navy.
When the front passed over and he knew the war was lost, Opa let the horses run, and himself began the long walk back home to his family — his wife, and four small children. Once, as he rested at the foot of a big tree, a gang of hostile Russians — former POWs, who had often worked on farms in the area during the war — confronted him. They thought he was a soldier, and that his limp was due to a war injury; he had to convince them that he wasn't, and it wasn't. Had he not succeeded, they might have killed him. (Such revenge-killings, near war's end, were disturbingly commonplace.) Another time, unable to run, he had to dig himself into a manure pile to hide from the British army as they rolled through the countryside, looking for stragglers to capture and take prisoner; the farmer, who had seen him, gave him some old work clothes and helped him dispose of the uniform. Once dressed as a civilian farmhand, he was safe, and made it home undetected — a deserter with a pronounced limp, but free, and alive.
After the war, however, a new generation of youngsters fell victim to polio. Not all of them lived in iron lungs. Scott Young, a journalist in Omemee, Ontario, wrote a short but moving account of his son's battle with the disease, not long after the boy's recovery. He included it in his memoir, Neil and Me. It was later excerpted in Reader's Digest, under the title "One of God's Requestmen". Yes, Neil Young is a polio survivor…fortunately, one who didn't end up paralyzed (or even with a clubbed foot like my grandpa), though he did spend some time at Sick Kids in Toronto, in an isolation ward with what he later called "the worst cold I ever had". He grew up to become a rock star, a versatile super-talent who was equally adept in folk, rockabilly, and even early-'80s synth-pop and '90s grunge. (His synth-infused album Trans, released in early 1982, was what turned me into a fan of his. I roller-skated in endless, foot-crossing circles on the driveway with his robotic remake of his classic from his Buffalo Springfield days, "Mr. Soul", playing in my head as I recovered from an injury that had landed me in Sick Kids for 2 1/2 weeks the previous winter.)
And in the political sphere, other prominent Canadians who also survived the disease became advocates for the sick and disabled. Paul Martin Sr., who became a leading Liberal and federal health minister, was blind in one eye and partially paralyzed by polio; the condition made him that much more determined to do his job well. His son, Paul Jr., who eventually became prime minister, also contracted the disease, although he was left with no lingering ill effects. And David Onley, who grew up to become a TV reporter (he did his job with the help of a mobility scooter) and later, became the first visibly disabled lieutenant-governor of Ontario, is another polio survivor. CTV tells their stories here:
In the mid-1950s, the Salk and Sabin vaccines would end up banishing the spectre of polio from the developed world; schoolkids lined up to receive their shot (or their sugar cube, depending on which version of the vaccine they got.) Infection rates dropped to near zero. The dreadful visions of iron lungs, leg braces, and child-sized wheelchairs gradually faded.
Today, polio is seen mainly in still-developing countries. The danger of a comeback here is low, but it could increase dramatically if antivaxxers gain enough influence, and if enough credulous parents fail to learn from our past.
And now, with several COVID-19 vaccines in development, the spectre that is currently haunting us could soon be banished, too. Most of the projections I've seen would have large-scale roll-outs of the COVID shot coming as early as the first quarter of 2021. Our government is already committed to supplying enough doses for the entire country. Hope is on the horizon. Rates of infection, currently climbing again, must drop, and drop soon.
But this spectre, like that of polio, won't go away unless we all get that shot in the arm.

Recognition of earth as one of the four classic elements in the context of garden design would seem almost obvious in the fact that all gardens are inherently outside and already "of the earth". Hence, all gardens are earthly by the nature of their physical proximity to the ground.
Earth can be seen as the home of all the aspects of nature, the ground, the soil, the plants, water, fire and air. Earth is our home into which we grow roots and plant seeds of aspirations and desires. We are anchored and nurtured by its solid foundation.
Mother Earth is a term derived from ancient cultures and religions including Native American and Pagan beliefs. Father Sky and Mother Earth are seen as entities that are revered because of what they provide all living things whether that be warmth, shelter, or food. The earth as a mother figure is the feminine energy of the planet -- nurturing and supportive.
So in regards to designing with the four elements, earth can be represented in a number of ways while its manifestation in a garden may be obvious or symbolic.
One must have an appreciation of what earth means to them and revere its inclusion in the physical design of a garden for it to not lose its recognition.
Its manifestation may be so subtle that one may overlook its use as in looking upon a typical Zen style dry garden without using your "symbolic eyes".
Our physical bodies are born into the lifecycle of a three dimensional existence that we call planet earth. Hence, life on earth is part of a larger cycle of birth, growth and death.
The earth as a physical form is grounding. Its surface contains an abundance of electrons that heal and stabilize life forms. When we lose that sense of being grounded, we feel disconnected with nature and yearn to renew that connection. By simply standing barefoot on the ground, we can rejuvenite the healing forces between our bodies and the earth.
Raw nature is by virtue, a natural garden so to speak. The Garden of Eve was considered to be a kind of paradise or Heaven on Earth. But then man began to manipulate his surroundings by creating spaces within nature to accomodate his needs. He later became more ambitious with his creative abilities to the point where the creations were not seen so much as natural beauty, but as aesthetic creations by man and referred to as artistic expression.
The picture above is quite impressive in its complexity and visual appeal, yet what is it accomplishing in terms of reverence for nature or the earth? Some people find order and balance in such a design while others see the control over natural forms. Just because it is not natural (manmade) does that make it less remarkable?

An inborn error of metabolism characterized by inability to N-oxidize trimethylamine.
Fish-Odor Syndrome; TMA Syndrome; Flavin Mono-Oxygenase Syndrome; FMO Syndrome.
Epidemiologic studies have established the incidence of this condition in Britain at 1:25,000 individuals. Incidence varies with ethnicity. The populations of Ecuador and Papua New Guinea have especially high rates for the disease. The heterozygous carrier state is estimated to be as high as 1% in general population.
Although an autosomal dominant inheritance has been suggested, the possibility of an autosomal recessive trait was suggested by Ayres. Gene locus 1q23-q25. This genetic defect is characterized by the inability of the body to produce the enzyme FMO3 (flavin-containing mono-oxygenase 3), which is needed by the liver to process the protein trimethylamine (TMA). Unprocessed TMA leads to offensive body odor known as the fish-odor syndrome.
Trimethylamine is produced by gut flora in the presence of cholineand carnitine-containing foods such as saltwater fish, soya bean, and egg yolk. Trimethylamine is readily absorbed and usually undergoes N-oxidation by hepatic flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMO), which are part of the mixed function oxidase group of enzymes. In trimethylaminuria, the FMO3 isoenzyme is defective, resulting in failure of N-oxidation. Trimethylamine, which has the odor of rotting fish, is subsequently secreted in the saliva, sweat, urine, and other body fluids.
History of malodor; demonstration of trimethylamine in the urine.
Strong and repulsive odor from sweat, urine, and breath is the predominant finding. The implications are predominantly social and have resulted in poor progression at school, anxiety, and clinical depression. Suicide is not uncommon. Menstruation, stress, and pyrexia exacerbate the odor. There is one report of a patient with trimethylaminuria developing hypertension and tachycardia after ingesting tyramine-containing foods and after using ephedrine nasal drops for epistaxis. Management includes dietary restriction of carnitine and choline, and occasional use of neomycin and metronidazole to reduce bacterial production of trimethylamine.
Routine anesthetic assessment. Inquire specifically for reaction to tyramine-containing foods and catecholamine-containing medications such as nasal drops. Record drug history.
Anxiety generated by stress-related body odor may make premedication desirable for the patient.
The effect of abnormal flavin-containing monooxygenases on drug metabolism remains to be determined; however, it is advisable to use catecholamines with extreme caution because of severe hypertensive response. Desflurane should be considered relatively contraindicated.

For distribution, Nexans has several MV underground applications. Directly Buried Cables free the skyline from overhead lines, and reduce truck movement and burial activities to a minimum.
Hybrid power and fiber optic cables provide important multifunction capacity for enhanced monitoring and control. Smart Accessories, able to supply information, allow you to keep a constant eye on your network.
A Nexans retrofitting solution saves civil engineering, installation costs and the time required to expand your network. Existing pipes for housing fluid-filled cables are reused to accommodate next-generation XLPE cables. With a range of high-voltage cables available, a power transmission network can continue to grow according to actual power needs, and in a sustainable way.
