Category: Caregiver Services
As we approach the challenges of an aging population, it is more important than ever for all of us to take an active role in caring for the seniors in our communities. Care can be as simple as running an errand for a grandparent, checking in on a neighbour, even saying hello or holding a door for a stranger. This kindness not only benefits the person it is extended to; it can cause a ripple effect that creates connections in the greater community.
Throughout our history, Home Instead Senior Care has worked within our communities to make an impact in the lives of older adults. The Home Instead Senior Care Foundation of Canada runs programs such as GIVE65 that match donations to local campaigns, and every holiday season we partner with local businesses and community organizations to provide gifts to vulnerable seniors through our Be a Santa to a Senior program. We have continued our mission to change the face of aging by launching Ready to Care, a social movement aimed at improving the lives of seniors through individual actions.
It takes no time at all to become a part of the Ready to Care movement. Once you've signed up at www.imreadytocare.com, you'll receive weekly care missions delivered directly to your phone. These simple, everyday acts of compassion and understanding go a long way to making a difference in a senior's life. When you join the network, you'll also receive tips and inspiration from others who are creating positive change in the lives of the elderly.
Together, we can expand the world's capacity to care for seniors. Join our movement today at www.imreadytocare.com and see how your actions can have a powerful impact.
Toronto, May 25, 2010 –Maria Freda could barely eat or sleep during the weeks her 77-year-old mother languished in a hospital bed, deemed too frail to return to her daughter's east-end home, but not sick enough for the constant care of nurses and doctors.
Freda knew her mom needed a long-term care facility, but she was overwhelmed by the choice. She spent days scouring the Internet for advice, talking to hospital discharge staff and workers with Ontario's much-lauded Community Care Access Centres, who are mandated by the province to help needy seniors connect with services.
"They were all very nice and gave me tonnes of pamphlets. All I remember them saying is, 'You just have to choose three (nursing homes) and put in applications.'
"I didn't know what to do, where to turn or what was the best option. One of the social workers at the emerg gave me a nice big book on retirement homes in Ontario and said, 'This may make the decision easier.' But I didn't know any of these places. I didn't want to abandon my mother. I almost had a nervous breakdown."
In desperation, Freda sought out pricey help to get her, and her mom, through the maze of care options in Ontario. She hired one of the growing number of "geriatric care consultants" springing up across the country — private-sector "experts" who are helping frazzled baby boomers find care for their aging parents.
Freda felt comforted immediately by the reassuring voice and take-charge attitude of Jill O'Donnell, the founder of Iris Consulting for Seniors (www.irisforseniors.com).
"I think a lot of baby boomers are the same — we want to do the best for our parents because they've done so much for us. But I wasn't getting the information I needed. I was being expected to do a lot of the legwork myself, and in my gut I couldn't tell what was the right place for my mother," says Freda.
O'Donnell met with Freda and her mother at the hospital, took a look at medical records, then assessed the elderly woman's needs based on her rapidly worsening dementia.
Within a week, O'Donnell gave Freda a list of suggestions, including Alexis Lodge on Ellesmere Ave., a 16-bed home specializing in the care of people with dementia. In the end, Freda opted for another of O'Donnell's options, Harold & Grace Baker Centre, across the city from her Logan and Danforth Aves. home.
The whole thing cost $850 — although more complicated cases can cost thousands.
"I was prepared to pay anything, I was so frazzled," says Freda. "This is not my area of expertise."
O'Donnell was one of the first to start offering geriatric care advice back in 1981 after spending years working in hospitals and long-term care facilities and seeing families overwhelmed by both the lack of adequate resources, and knowledge.
In many ways, things are even worse know, says O'Donnell. The growing number of elderly, and especially those with dementia, is putting even more pressure on the limited number of long-term care beds, many older nursing homes are in need of updates and it can be difficult to know, even if you can come up with a shortlist and do a personal tour, whether the care provided is best for your relative's specific needs.
O'Donnell has not only seen all the facilities she recommends personally, she knows the administrators and some of the staff. She knows their strengths and weaknesses. And sometimes a personal call can make the difference between a wait and a bed.
Increasingly, busy baby boomers, especially those who live far from their aging parents, will pay her to drop in from time to time and keep an eye on how their folks are doing.
"We're like surrogate adult children," says O'Donnell.
They've also become an alternative to public-sector social workers and CCAC staff who can be overloaded with cases. O'Donnell and her staff handle about a dozen cases at a time, which allows them to highly customize their efforts.
But a lot of people can't afford her services — or the growing number of private home-care companies and retirement facilities that are springing up to pick up the slack as the first wave of baby boomers hits 65 next year.
"Families are often waiting until a crisis hits, rather than working proactively (to plan ahead for where their parents should go as they age)," says Jacqueline Campbell, of Campbell Consulting (www.campbellconsulting.ca).
"What you hear from families is they've always thought the government would take care of everything, and (politicians) certainly do talk a lot about Ontario's 'aging in place' strategy," for providing services and supports to seniors.
"Families are often surprised to find that they can't get what they thought they would for free, and they're shocked to find how much money they're having to spend."
Campbell says geriatric-care consultants can be especially valuable if family members can't agree on the best options for aging relatives, or have parents who are determined to remain in charge, despite their failing health. Sometimes an independent assessment, delivered by an outsider, can make the choice more obvious.
"A lot of people aren't willing to pay for consultants because they don't understand or appreciate the value that they bring. Or they tend to think they can handle it all themselves," says Bruce Mahony of Home Instead, a private-sector company often called upon by geriatric-care consultants to provide interim care for frail seniors in their homes.
"In a sense, they can be a financial planner — if you don't have the means, they're going to help you find a place that is safe, affordable and sustainable. If you have lots of means, then there are more options. So they're not just for the rich."
The best consultants, Mahony stresses, are those who have worked in the health- and long-term care system.
"A lot (of people now advertising themselves as geriatric-care consultants) managed their parents through the system and consider themselves experts. The reality is that when you get into health care, it's a life-long learning experience."
Who will care for Mom?
Aging population and high demand fuel the growth for seniors' caregiving services
Toronto, January 13, 2009 – For the first time in history, it would seem that Canadian adults now have more parents than they do children. One implication of this is that caregiving for seniors will be a high-growth occupation in coming years. Despite the depressed economy, all indications are that the need for caregiving for seniors will only increase in the future. It is already huge.
A newly released Statistics Canada study on eldercare says that some 2.7 million Canadians aged 45 and over were providing care for elderly family members or friends in 2007, which was up from 2 million in 2002. Most of these caregivers were women, and more than half of them were working. Thus, these people need help. Professional caregivers can provide it.
"The needs of seniors drive the demand for our services, which in turn, creates more caregiving jobs," said Bruce Mahony of Home Instead Senior Care. "Surveys consistently show that seniors want to remain at home. As aging occurs, staying at home without help can become more difficult, which is why many older adults need caregiving assistance. Our caregivers don't just care for seniors, but also care about seniors, many of whom are suffering from loneliness, depression and anxiety."
Home Instead Senior Care is an international organization whose professional caregivers go into the homes of seniors to help them with such needs as companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, errands, palliative care and shopping. It has 21 locations across Canada, and employs about 2,500 caregivers from coast to coast.
The fact that Canadians are living longer and the population is aging propels the need for caregiving for seniors. What's more, the first Boomers will turn 65 in 2011 and will soon need caregiving services for themselves.
"The potential for the caregiving industry is absolutely huge," says Dr. Amy D'Aprix, Founder and President of The Caregivers' Coach, and an expert on aging, caregiving, palliative care and retirement issues. "The non-medical, home care business is going to explode. Boomers come from a culture of independent choice and freedom, and as they get older, they will want to maintain that for themselves. Hiring an outside professional caregiver will let them do that as they age. Boomers already want these services for their own parents." D'Aprix says an increasing number
of family caregivers are stressed out caring for aging parents, and that professional caregivers provide a "partnership" with the family in need.
"The goal is better care for seniors and less stress for the family," she said. "Professional caregivers fill three needs – allowing seniors to remain independent in their home, providing emotional support, and providing family support.
The advantages of elderly care at home include (home helper services):
Direct cost saving – A visiting nurse, home health aide, or personal and home care aide are all cheaper than a senior staying in a seniors' residence or a long-term care facility.
Convenience – It's much more convenient to leave a hospital sooner when all a senior might need is assistance with their daily activities.
Quality of life – The senior still lives in the comfort of their own home.
The advantages of a career in caregiving are that:
The job is a viable option for those taking care of their own families, or for individuals who are looking for a second job in homecare in Toronto.
It is a flexible career since you can do it on a full-time or part-time basis.
The demand for caregivers will be high for many years to come.
Education requirements are not high, so it may appeal to someone who is new to the country or to one who wants to put off their post-secondary education for the time being.
A 2002 Statistics Canada study called Balancing Career and Care said that more than 1.7 million Canadian adults aged 45 to 64 were providing informal care to almost 2.3 million seniors with long-term disabilities or physical limitations. Of those caregivers, most were employed and many felt they were being pulled in two directions. Another Statistics Canada study called the General Social Survey, which is from the same year, said that 2.6 million people between the ages of 45 and 64 had children under 25 living with them, and that 27% of those people – or 712,000 – were also performing some type of elder care for aging relatives. This is the so-called 'sandwich generation.'
The history of healthcare in Canada over the past three decades demonstrates the obvious need and subsequent growth for home care services. In 1970, the province of Ontario first established a publicly funded home care program, and by 1988, every province and territory in Canada had done the same. According to the Canadian Home Care Association, the number of Canadians receiving home care benefits almost doubled from 1995 to 2006, and today there are an estimated one million Canadians receiving home care services.
In 2002, the Romanow Report examined Canada's healthcare system, and described home care as the next essential service and "one of the fastest growing components of health care" in the country. Two years later, the Romanow Report's 10-Year Plan to Strengthen Health Care said that "home care is an essential part of modern, integrated and patient-centred health care."
Jim Beck, who is Director of Public Affairs at Home Instead Senior Care, recently spoke on the State of Aging in Canada at the Summit on the Mature Work Force. He observed that:
Worker to retiree ratios will be cut in half.
In the next 20 years, Canadians older than 65 will increase from one in ten to one in four.
The needs of older citizens will shift medical care from treating communicable diseases to providing chronic care for the old.
Three- and four-generation families will become the norm.
The cost of caring for an older population will place enormous pressure on governments.
Present senior care systems will be overwhelmed, and the family will bear the burden.
About 90 percent of Home Instead Senior Care caregivers work part-time, and while no formal education is required, the company offers a multi-phased, safety and caregiving education program. This involves case studies, senior illness information, stimulating activities, nutritional recipes, and tips for coping with stress, all of which are followed by testing. In addition, the company offers an industry-leading Alzheimer's training program to caregivers. The Alzheimer's training program is the first of its kind in Canada for non-medical caregivers.
"Our primary mission is to keep seniors independent for as long as possible, and that means making sure that caregivers have the tools they need to provide seniors with the highest quality of care," said HISC owner. "We offer resources and experiences that will benefit our employees in many future endeavors they might choose."
Home Instead Senior Care has developed a caregiver career self-assessment to help people gauge whether caregiving is a good career option for them. Anyone is fee to try the self-assessment
Home Instead Senior Care and Dr. Amy D'Aprix have prepared a list of questions to ask when searching for a professional caregiver:
Have they been adequately trained as a caregiver? Dealing with people who suffer from such illnesses as dementia or Alzheimer's is very demanding.
Are they experienced?
What are their limitations? Some caregivers, such as independents, may not be willing to perform certain functions on behalf of seniors in need.
Can they pass a background check?
What about backup? If the caregiver is sick, it is important to know that another professional will cover for them.

The Seven Most Legendary Moments In State Of The Union History
Paul Szoldra
President Barack Obama is set to kick off his second term with the State of the Union address tonight, but the question is — will it make history?
Sure, it will be historic in the sense that it's a grand speech from the President of the United States, but there have been some big moments in past State of the Union addresses that Obama will have to live up to earn his place in SOTU history.
Abraham Lincoln - December 1, 1862
Although it was a written report, Abraham Lincoln delivered an enduring message to Congress in the midst of the Civil War, and dedicated a substantial portion to addressing slavery:
"One section of our country believes slavery is right and ought to be extended, while the other believes it is wrong and ought not to be extended," Lincoln wrote.
While he addressed other topics throughout, Lincoln returned to this central issue as he closed, paving the way for the Emancipation Proclamation:
"Fellow-citizens, we can not escape history. We of this Congress and this Administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We, even we here, hold the power and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free--honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth."
Woodrow Wilson - December 2, 1913
Although delivering a State of the Union to Congress is mandated by the Constitution, it doesn't actually require a speech. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both spoke their State of the Unions, but subsequent presidents delivered a written report to Congress.
It wasn't until Woodrow Wilson gave his address to a joint session of Congress in 1913 that the practice was revived. Every President since Wilson has delivered the State of the Union to Congress in person.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt - January 6, 1941
Less than a year before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, precipitating U.S. involvement in World War II, FDR gave one of the most memorable addresses, commonly referred to as his "Four Freedoms" speech.
The first two freedoms he mentioned were enshrined and protected by the Constitution, but in his last two, the U.S. first saw the scope of progressive thought that would come to shape FDR's presidency:
"In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world."
Lyndon Johnson - January 4, 1965
LBJ's "Great Society" speech in January 1965 laid the groundwork for Democratic social policies in the 1960s, including the War On Poverty.
"The Great Society asks not how much, but how good," Johnson said. "not only how to create wealth but how to use it; not only how fast we are going, but where we are headed."
With the help of an overwhelming Democrat majority in Congress, a laundry list of programs were enacted after Johnson's speech, including medical insurance for the poor and elderly, extension of the minimum wage, increased funding for education, and voting rights protections.
Gerald Ford - January 15, 1975
While most presidents report that "the state of our union is strong," Gerald Ford took a different tack in his first State of the Union address, delivered five months after Richard Nixon's resignation:
"I must say to you that the state of the union is not good," Ford said to Congress, adding "I've got bad news, and I don't expect much, if any, applause."
Ford went on to talk at length about high unemployment, recession and inflation, and the problem of the federal deficit.
Bill Clinton - January 23, 1996
In a speech given after the government shutdowns of 1995 and 1996, President Clinton famously proclaimed, "the era of big government is over," and began his tack to the political center.
With Republicans in control of the House, Clinton largely followed through on his rhetoric, signing a major welfare reform bill, and tackling the federal budget deficit.
George W. Bush - January 29, 2002
Just months after the attacks of 9/11, Bush opened his speech by stating that the union was strong:
"...our nation is at war, our economy is in recession and the civilized world faces unprecedented dangers," Bush said. "Yet the state of our union has never been stronger."
But the most famous part of the speech was the coining of the term "Axis of Evil," a phrase that singled out North Korea, Iraq, and Iran as the states posing the most significant threats to U.S. national security.
"States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger."
The statement went on to influence foreign policy throughout his two terms in office.
Barack Obama - Jan 25, 2011
In a rather infamous moment in State of the Union history, the President lashed out at members of the Supreme Court, who had delivered the controversial Citizens United decision a week prior:
"With all due deference to separation of powers, last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections. I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests or, worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people. And I urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps correct some of these problems."
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was caught on camera muttering and shaking his head in disagreement while the President spoke.

I really like the way the Common English Bible puts this. Those who WERE blind are able to see. Those who WERE crippled are walking. To me, it makes the transformation seem more complete. Like a complete change of person.
I think one of the best part of that is, that can happen for each one of is. When our current problem meets Jesus it becomes a thing of the past. And if we let Him, He will take us to the point where people don't recognize us anymore. Because when our problems meet Jesus, they don't have any power anymore. And then what's satan going to hold over you? Nothing much, but he can go ahead and try. It's good for him to fight losing battles, that's what he's best at, it reminds him of who he is. Plus, it reminds us of who we are, and who we aren't anymore.
We've all seen the movies where it's pretty loud while a baby is being born then all of a sudden it gets really quiet and this baby starts screaming at the top of its lungs and it's the most beautiful thing ever right? I don't know what it's really like, I was only ever around for one of those and I was a little preoccupied. But, that's what they make it look like in the movies. Well, one day a baby was born into a world full of chaos and darkness. That night, all of heaven and earth felt the release of that baby's cry, because the silence was OVER. Two worlds collided and darkness was on it's way to a losing battle and chaos had no place in the world any longer.
But wait it gets better. Each and every one of us can have that moment in our hearts. In the darkness, in the pain, and in the chaos, we can have that moment where two worlds collide. Collision is a big deal when I think about stuff colliding I think of an explosion. So it's like this when heaven and earth collide in your heart it explodes and burns up all the dirt and nastiness inside of you and all that's left is this beautiful innocence.
In those moments, all of heaven is on the edge of their seats. They're all watching, and as soon as you let God deal with the mess and the darkness and the chaos. It's not just the collision that explodes, all of heaven explodes. It's one of the biggest parties ever but above it all, you can hear God shouting it out louder than everyone, "That's my kid!" Like the proud Father He is.
But wait, there's more (I've always wanted to say that). This isn't just a one and done experience. You don't surrender once and be done and if you mess up, well I guess it stinks to be you. No! We need to be surrendering to God every day and if there is stuff we need to deal with we need to let it explode. Darkness and light can't be in the same place it's impossible. So let the light take over.
And I could go on and on about how much more there is. But in truth, I'd never be able to tell about it all. Never, because the best is ALWAYS yet to come and God's love ALWAYS has another level that we don't even know about. There's no end to Him and no end to His love. I know I keep saying that but I just can't get over the fact that we can't exaggerate Him or anything He does. We can't! Because anything we say, He already is. We can't make Him love us any more because He already loves us like crazy. And all He asks in return is that we love Him back.
Sometimes God gives us promises and I can't see how they will ever come true. It seems as if God always tries to operate just on the edge of the explainable. However, that still means it is unexplainable. A great part of worshipping an unexplainable God is that we can never exaggerate Him. We can never tell someone about Him and go into too great details. People for centuries have exhausted their vocabularies in thousands of languages to try to explain our God in a way that justifies Him for who He is, but it's impossible.
Historically, God has chosen to work in some crazy ways. Just imagine trying to explain the battle of Jericho without God's hand in the story. No really, just try it. Still, it worked, the people marched around the city and when they blew their horns it fell to the ground. Why did God do it that why? I don't know. The important thing is, God had the Israelites' yes of obedience first.
When God promises is something, we can always believe it. So when God gives us His promise we can always tell Him yes we believe it and we will do whatever He asks us to do. Every promise God makes will come true in time, you can count on it.
In all the rushing around of the holidays, it is easy to become distracted. There is so much to do and so many things to prepare. But through it all, Jesus is still calling to us. He wants to show us new things even this morning. If we will call out to God and seek His face, He will show us the wonder of His glory.
In the story of Mary and Martha, Martha got so busy "making sandwiches that Jesus never ordered" (as my dad said in his sermon at one point). That she didn't take the time to just sit with Jesus and listen to Him. But if we will take the time to be still and listen to Him, He will tell us about the great and hidden things that we would not have known if we hadn't taken the time to listen.
When our lives are at peace, it can be easier to thank God for His peace. On the other hand, when it feels like things are collapsing all around us, and we don't know where to turn or what to do, God is still the God of peace. That is one of the great things about worshipping an unchanging God. Our circumstances may change, but our God never will.
This reminds me of the story of Peter walking on water with Jesus. We often paint Peter in a bad light with this story, but we do the same thing all the time. We will be walking with Jesus and everything's great, but then the storm comes. All of a sudden we aren't so confident anymore. We let ourselves get distracted by everything going on beside us and we take our eyes off of Jesus. The moment our focus leaves Jesus is the same moment we get overwhelmed.
When we are locked in the eye-to-eye connection with Jesus, the enemy can't shake us, and he knows that. So, he will try to get us to take our eyes off of Jesus. He shakes things all around us and tries to get us to look away – if only for a moment – because that's all it takes. In a single moment of distraction, the enemy will flood us with stress and worry and anything else he can find.
But, if we call out to Jesus in the midst of it all, He won't let us drown. When we lock our eyes back on Jesus, the wind can howl and the waves can rise; but the God of peace won't let you drown. As you watch Him, eventually the storm is going to run out of rain, Jesus will silence it all with a wave of His hand, "that's enough," and it will just be you and Jesus.
A quote that just keep running through my mind is one from Brian Johnson (I think) and it says: "The storm came and went, and I never moved." We can say it right out loud in the middle of the storm. The storm came, but it has to leave; and until then, I'm not moving.
Has anyone ever tried looking in a mirror without turning on the lights in the bathroom? It's kind of hard to see anything like that. You can make out a couple of features, or you think you can. But it is hard to tell anything for sure.
That is kind of how we see God in this life. We can look for Him where we know He is, and we can even catch glimpses of His glory. But no matter how hard we look, we aren't going to see Him fully until we get to heaven.
I think that is such an amazing thing. God is good here on earth, we can all agree to that. But when we get to heaven, and we see Him face to face, there will be no end to His glory.
As good as it gets here on earth, we will never fully know God the way He knows us. He knows everything about us, but we don't know that much about Hum. If we knew everything about God an truly understood what He did and who He was and how He loves, we would probably blow up. Because it's too much, He's too good.
So, as we each go to our own churches today, can we just praise our God who knows everything about us and loves us anyway? And as we experience Him this morning, I hope we all remember that the best is yet to come.
That's just how it would go. We always wanted to have the best players on our team because nobody wants to lose.
That is really good news for us. All the struggles we face, the problems we deal with, and the fears we have, they are all nothing compared to Jesus. We don't have to worry about anything because the Lion of Judah has already won the victory. And – I'll tell you a secret – HE'S ON OUR TEAM! And if our team has already won, we have nothing to worry about. Any problem we have, we can bring it Jesus and leave it at the foot of the cross, never to look at again. Just like that quote says, when Satan tries to remind us of our past, we just have to remind him of his future.

Life recently necessitated a picture frame to honor my Mom. Red was her favorite color and just so happens I had some Ruby Glass by Avonite leftover from a job years ago.

Looking real forward to doing more with this material in the future.
Haven't seen that particular material before, Kinda reminds me of "Bloodglass" we had in a Victorian front door....Thanks.
Sure to be appreciated by your sisters!
Never heard of bloodglass and had to look it up. Must have been a beautiful door!
The Avonite Glass Series is really quite stunning particularly in backlit applications.
I imagine it's beautiful when backlit!
Closest I found was this.
Dad threw a hissy fit when Hysterical Society(Historical) demanded glass could NOT be replaced with similar.
VERY nice Homage to your Mother!!
We have some from my wife's grandmother.
Thank you so much for the sentiment Scott. I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. I really wish I had the right thing to say but, unfortunately, I don't. I will add this though...I believe our generation was raised with the idea that the strong man does not show emotion. BS in my book! I believe that it IS the strong man who reveals his emotion without fear nor shame. I don't know you but something inside tells me you have a very good heart and your Dad raised a strong man.
Yep that's the Avonite product on the Aristech link.
And today I learned about Bloodglass. There was a cup my Mom cherished with a name and date of 1903 that now I know is Bloodglass. Funny how things unfold as I was admiring it just a couple months ago.
Strong,True and Brave words in that first paragraph!!
I don't think there ARE correct words to say when it comes to us all....Just being there for someone is enough!
Got an email from a very good friend in Oz finally describing HIS Dad's end, and comparatively...I've got it easy.
Those 5 years brought us much closer together as he learned Wood,and I learned CNC production, so we could get a business in the Black and give second machine and company away.
But I studied and learned until even the salesmen knew to give me a call when some "squirrelly" wood came in.
..front door the same except two pieces the same size as the lower clear glass door...lovely Southern exposure, and backlit was beautiful!!
Victorian was built in 1875, and had been unlived in since the 80+ yr recluse and his Jamaican(?) female servant died 8 yrs before we bought it....ceilings sagging/dry rot and roof leaks.
MOST impressed by the Art of plastering back then, BUT if I never see horsehair plaster and lath again...it'll be too soon!!
DID like the weather notes on the back of the trim I tore carefully down...and a LOT of notes written on the carriage house beams!! And encouraged my carpenters to do the same.
1903......Before blood glass became common..cherish it!!
Looks like a serendipitous thread all around!!!
And don't have words to say what it meant to me.

Is it really that deadly?
COVID now less deadly than the flu
In this March 10, 2022 article for Daily Mail, Luke Andrews reports on the analysis made by Professor Paul Hunter, an infectious diseases expert from the University of East Anglia. According to Hunter, current data being released by the UK government indicates that COVID is now less deadly compared to the flu.
COVID mortality before Omicron was around 0.2%, but this figure has since plunged seven-fold to as little as 0.3%. Estimates show that seasonal influenza's infection fatality rate (IFR) sits between 0.01 and 0.05%.
Professor Robert Dingwall, a former member of the UK's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), confirms that Omicron is no longer a major health concern. He says, "What we are seeing now is consistent with a transition to a world where Covid is just one ore respiratory illness, circulating alongside the 30 or so other respiratory viruses that commonly infect humans and not presenting any exceptional risk…There is no justification today for any measures that we would not have adopted in November 2019 ahead of the flu season."
Both Dingwall and Hunter credit both the vaccines and natural immunity for creating a "wall of immunity" against the disease.
Editor's Note: When will Filipino health "experts" see that Omicron has already changed the "pandemic" in the Philippines? [See Why can't the Philippine government give up its unscientific, illogical, and useless COVID policies?, Will 90% COVID Inoculation Rate Protect Filipinos from Surge of New Cases and High Mortality?]
Consider the following data (see above) from Baguio City. In this city with a population of that is nearly 370,000[1]https://www.philatlas.com/luzon/car/baguio.html, as of March 15, 2022, only two new cases have been detected from a total of 410 RT-PCR tests ran on this day by the government. Both of these two cases are asymptomatic.
Despite this, however, the city still operates as if we are still in the middle of a pandemic. It requires travelers to register and present a QR code, and proof of vaccination (or a negative test taken within 14 days prior to arrival for the unvaccinated).[2]https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=508605650629416&set=pcb.507548227401825 There are checkpoints in all the city's entry points, masks are still required, the government still monitors cases of Omicron, and there is still no assurance that the emergency measures implemented from two (2) years ago will be lifted anytime soon. This, despite the city's 104.15% vaccination rate.efn_note]https://www.thestar.com.my/aseanplus/aseanplus-news/2022/03/17/no-surge-in-covid-19-cases-amid-tourist-influx-in-philippines039-baguio[/efn_note]
Is the Philippines using a different science than that of other countries which are already saying that COVID is no longer a major health concern?

While lobbying for bill HB 28322, some of the Royal News staff witnessed the Red 4 Ed rally in front of the capitol building in Richmond, Virginia. The rally was organized by Virginia Educators United, which is a campaign made up of teachers and members of the community that "fight to ensure that public schools get the resources they need." According to the VEU website introduction.
The VEU webpage states that Virginia teachers' salaries are in the "lowest tier nationally," but teachers are still expected to teach in overcrowded schools that lack maintenance. Since 2009, the enrollment in Virginia public schools has increased by over 50,000 students, and the staffing has decreased by over 1,000. Areas with high poverty rates are affected the most by funding cuts, causing up to three times more damage when compared to areas with low poverty. According to VDOE, public schools are financed through a combination of federal, state, and local funds, with most of the responsibility falling on the state and locals.
The rally was scheduled for January 28th, 2019, from 12:00 pm-1:00 pm, with crowds of supporters dressed in red to support the cause. While at the rally staff members had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Erika Zimmerman Damer, a professor at the University of Richmond.
"Both of my kids go to Richmond public schools and will go to RPS their whole educational experience. I think it's vital that we fund public education much better than we've been doing," Damer said when asked why she supported this event.
The VEU concludes its mission page with a powerful statement.
Virginia has made strides towards improving education for its students, but maybe teachers were left behind.

Our Rich History: William Behringer's 1904 visit to the St. Louis World's Fair changed a young man's life
Apr 30th, 2018 · 0 Comment
by Jason French
Special to NKyTribune
Is there a time that you can point to in your life that, through some amazing experience, your life changed? One hundred years from now, could an historian look at your diary and determine that same conclusion? It seems to me that the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis was the point that changed everything for William Behringer (1884-1948).
William Behringer as a young man, circa early 1900s. (Courtesy of the Behringer-Crawford Museum)
William Behringer was born to German immigrants in West Covington, Kentucky in 1884. His childhood was not exceptional. Behringer's family did not seem to have much money. He left school in the "sixth reader," at the age of 13, to join "the battle of life." On June 1, 1897, he started working in the varnish room at Bremenkamp Furniture Company, located at John and Wilson Streets in West Covington. It was not long, however, before young William found himself exploring several different employment opportunities.
William Behringer was initially employed in foundries for a few years. This ended in 1903 when he made the fateful decision to join a labor union, and management abruptly fired him. After he took some time off for a three-week hunting trip to Lincoln County, Kentucky, Behringer sought new employment. By early 1904, he held several jobs, from foundry work to unloading train cars for the B&O Railroad.
It is, however, a trip that Behringer took in July 1904 that is of interest to us today. It was in that month that he and a friend, Garfield Wallace, boarded a night train to St. Louis, Missouri to attend the World's Fair.
The St. Louis World's Fair was open from the last day of April through the middle of December 1904. In Behringer's journals of this trip, he explains that the exposition covered 1,200 acres in St. Louis's Forest Park. He further notes that roughly 200,000 people attended the fair daily, "which didn't seem crowded at all except on the pike [an entertainment venue] at night where there was certainly a jam."
Throughout his life, Behringer kept journals and scrapbooks. The one that covers his trip to the world's fair was actually written later, in 1907, which may have been his first year of journaling. Either that or he compiled previous journals and experiences into this diary.

Behringer's 1904 World's Fair trip gives us a window into his interests and personality. He figuratively walks us through the fairgrounds day by day, pointing out what captures his attention: technology, anthropology, archaeology, zoology and wildlife, to name just a few. His somewhat frenetic writing, often lacking proper punctuation and spelling, seems to reveal the process of an active mind that jumps around a lot.
Reading through the entries, it is easy to see that the 1904 World's Fair was a spark that ignited a fire of curiosity and exploration in Behringer's life. For example, he wrote of July 26th and 27th: "We passed the first day in the Government Building which was certainly grand," next "we also went in the Fish Aquarium.

The exhibits must have seemed overwhelming for a poor young man from Northern Kentucky. "Mounted birds and fish[,] a skeleton of a whale 88 feet long. I can't write everything." The next day he noted "I woke up at 630 the next morning but I could not hardly wake up Wallace[;] we reached the grounds at 9 AM[;] we took in the Building Mines and Metallurgy, set where they had a statue of Vulcan a man 60 feet high" then "liberal arts building which didn't interest me very much also the building of education and social economy[,] all little knickknack businesses and all handy appliances of day by day use[,] also the building of manufacturer which interested me very well."
Behringer writes about how they ate very simply, more so than when they were at home. For example, he and his friend never drank coffee in St. Louis, and he said that they only drank one glass of beer during the entire trip.

William Behringer's description of his trip to the world's fair gives us a rare chance to explore the inquisitive mind of a man who spent his life collecting and exploring environments around him and around the world. I can't help but think that this trip may have been the spark that ignited it all.
Reading Behringer's journals, you start to understand why he later collected what he did. This, in turn, gives us a better understanding of the founding collection of the Behringer-Crawford Museum. Without his thirst for knowledge and his desire to collect, we wouldn't have a museum like Behringer-Crawford in Northern Kentucky and we would not have the treasures that we do. There is much that can be gleaned from this one week of his life, a story full of nuance and discovery.
His diary is truly one of the Behringer-Crawford Museum's treasures.

IRR: 58%.
Payback period: 4.6 years.
1 All-In-Sustaining-Cost "AISC" and C1 cash costs are non-IFRS financial performance measures. See "Use of Non-IFRS Financial performance Measures" in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, dated August 4, 2021 and filed on sedar.com for further information regarding these measures.
Ricus Grimbeek, President and CEO, commented, "Since providing the results of the Expansion Pre-Feasibility Study in August 2020, the team has optimized and de-risked the project, delivering a Feasibility Study that reaffirms robust project economics, while reducing our carbon intensity and water consumption usage on a per tonne milled basis. The RP2.0 project will modernize and expand the 50-year-old mine, increasing throughput by 86% and enabling the operation to increase production at a significantly lower operating cost, all while working more safely and reducing our environmental footprint.
In parallel with advancing the technical aspects of the project, we have had productive discussions with our existing lending syndicate as well as numerous financial institutions on securing project debt financing to minimize equity dilution."
Rosh Pinah Expansion " RP2.0 " Feasibility Study
Processing Plant: The FS incorporates a planned upgrade to the comminution circuit to include a new, single-stage SAG mill and pebble crusher. The expansion also includes primary crushing upgrades and an ore blending area, along with other circuit modifications intended to provide increased flotation, thickening, filtration and pumping capacity to achieve the target throughput of 1.3 Mtpa. The upgrade will also include several flowsheet modifications aimed at improving both the concentrate grade and metal recoveries.
Underground Development and Infrastructure: A dedicated portal and decline to the WF3 deposit will be constructed to support the increase in mine production levels and to reduce operating costs. The planned trucking decline is 3.9 km in length, excluding level access and stockpiles. The trucking decline will act as an additional fresh air intake within the ventilation network and will enable direct ore haulage from the WF3 zone to a new surface primary crusher station utilizing large-scale (60 tonne) trucks. Ore sourced from other areas (EOF, SF3, SOF, and BME) will be transported to the existing underground crushing system using the existing 30 tonne truck fleet and conveyed to surface via the existing conveying system.
Paste Fill Plant: A paste fill plant designed to operate at both the current 0.7 Mtpa and the 1.3 Mtpa targeted throughput rate has been included. Paste filling the stopes rather than leaving them void is expected to improve ground stability, increase ore recovery, and reduce dilution, and also to reduce surface tailings as a portion of new tailings will be redirected underground to be used as paste fill. A water treatment plant has been added to the paste fill plant system which is expected to significantly reduce water consumption. The system in conjunction with the paste fill plant system is anticipated to reduce the water intensity of the Rosh Pinah operation from 1.54 m 3 /t to 0.65 m 3 /t of ore.
Mobile Equipment: The existing, small-scale underground trucks and load-haul dump (LHD) fleet will continue to be used primarily in the current mining areas. As mining extends deeper and average haulage distances increase in WF3, new large-scale trucks and LHDs are planned to be purchased for the more efficient transportation of material to surface which is expected to reduce costs over the life-of-mine.
Renewable Solar Energy Power Purchase Agreement: Trevali has entered into a fifteen-year Power Purchase Agreement (the "PPA") with Emerging Markets Energy Services Company ("EMESCO"). The PPA with EMESCO is anticipated to deliver 30% of Rosh Pinah's power requirements during the life of the agreement. EMESCO will be responsible for the design, permitting, financing and implementation of a solar energy system on a neighbouring property at no cost to Trevali. EMESCO will sell the power generated to Trevali at a fixed rate that is expected to reduce energy costs by 8% over the fifteen-year term of the agreement.
Onsite Operating Costs: Once the project is commissioned, onsite operating costs are expected to reduce by approximately 26% on a per tonne milled basis. Mining costs per tonne milled are expected to be reduced due to the planned change in the mining method to include paste fill allowing for increased ore recovery and reduced mining dilution. Mining costs are also expected to benefit from the dedicated underground decline to the WF3 deposit which should allow for more efficient material handling and reduced cycle times. The processing unit costs are expected to decrease as a result of treating increased tonnages following the upgrade. Fixed on site costs on a per tonne milled basis are also expected to decrease as the mine ramps up from 0.7 Mtpa to the FS target of 1.3 Mtpa as a function of higher annual throughput.

Mineral Resources and Reserves
The Mineral Resource estimate for the Rosh Pinah deposit covers numerous lenses. A total of seven mineral lenses are included in the updated Mineral Resource estimate as of March 31, 2021 .
To convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves, mining cut-off grades were applied, mining dilution was added, and mining recovery factors were assessed. Only Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources were used for Mineral Reserve estimation.
A cut-off value of US$50.0 /t was used to report the Mineral Reserves. The selected cut-off value is above the projected full breakeven cut-off value.
Updated Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates are planned as part of the Company's annual year end process. The conversion of additional resources and further optimizations may be included in this process, which, if included, will further enhance the project's economics.

1979 Mercedes-Benz 500 TE AMG Wagon
AMG has built a household name as Mercedes' performance wing. Far less well-known in the late 1970s before merging with Mercedes, AMG already had a reputation for modifying the German company's sedans and wagons with serious performance parts. But this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 500 TE wagon is a mystery, despite being equipped with the best AMG had to offer at the time. There is no record of the 5-liter V8 in the car having been assigned to any chassis by Mercedes, meaning that a swap from a donor is highly unlikely. The motor has AMG headers and exhaust, oil cooler, and motor mounts custom-made for the car, and the rear suspension has been replaced with AMG-exclusive aluminum alloy pieces. AMG wheels, badging, monochrome paint scheme, and Recaro seats are all consistent with AMG's offerings at the time, and only someone with deep knowledge of AMG could have performed the modifications — meaning that it's either an unrecorded factory build or a passion project built by an unknown AMG employee in-period.

1987 Ferrari F40 LM Coupe
The last Ferrari overseen by Enzo himself, the F40 was released in 1987 to celebrate Maranello's 40th anniversary and to capitalize on the 288 GTO that was developed for the now-defunct FIA Group B racing formula. The F40 was as raw a road car as was ever built, with almost nothing in the way of luxury appointments, and was never intended for the race track — until French Ferrari importer Charles Pozzi wanted to race one. Bigger IHI turbochargers and intercoolers brought the 2.9-liter V8 to over 700 horsepower from 471 in stock trim, and weight was reduced by over 400 pounds along with chassis modifications. The F40 LM here was a factory prototype and finished 12th overall and 6th in class at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, eight years after it was built — an impressive feat for a car that wasn't designed to race.

1982 BMW Alpina B7 S Turbo Sedan
Founded in 1965, Alpina has been customizing BMW sedans as an independent manufacturer for over 50 years. Famous for their spoked wheels and turbocharged motors, Alpina brings the best out of BMW's machines, often getting performance figures that rival the M-series. This 1982 Alpina B7 S features a twin-turbo 3.5-liter inline six that makes 330 horsepower — an insane amount for the period and capable of rivaling dedicated sports coupes of the era. Alpina's philosophy was that owning a sedan shouldn't mean giving up the performance of coupes, and along with the engine, Alpina made a host of upgrades to the suspension, with new shocks, springs, and additional bracing. This Alpina B7 S is the 22nd made of just 60 total. With an extensively documented history and driven only 36,000 miles since new, this B7 S is a perfect example of high-performance German sedans.

French Barn Find Vintage Car Collection
Dreams still do come true, and this 81-car barn find in the French countryside proves it. Inside a massive barn and strewn about in the weeds outside, 81 cars from the 50s to the 80s were found calmly rotting away. A diverse collection, everything from massive, high-end American luxury cars like the Lincoln Continental, Cadillac Eldorado, and Chrysler Imperial were found next to European classics from Porsche, Jaguar, and even Lamborghini. The absolute star of the show is a numbers-matching 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 with just over 48,000 miles on the odometer and expected to bring between $456,000 and $684,000. A Series I Jaguar E-Type is also in the collection, along with a pre-A Porsche 356 — although the latter is in extremely bad condition. Some other interesting models are a C3 Corvette and a 1930s Citroen van. The auction begins on January 20th in France.
Released in 1964, the Ferrari 275 GTB was an instant classic and the ultimate road car the Italian company had yet produced. The 275 GTB was the first Ferrari production car with independent rear suspension and a transaxle — the transmission being mounted over the rear wheels for optimal weight balance. The car received several tweaks throughout its lifetime, the most notable being a revised V12 in 1966 that raised horsepower up to 300 from the previous 260. The 275 GTB/C6 pictured here is the rarest of the rare. The car is one of eight alloy-bodied cars with completely different bodywork from the production version. A torque tube was added along with six Weber carbs that brought horsepower up to over 320. The first of the eight built, the car was with the original owner's family for 36 years. An immaculate restoration, original numbers-matching parts, and factory colors make this one of the most desired 275 GTBs to come to market in years.

1972 Maserati Ghibli SS 4.9 Coupe
Maserati took the wraps off of the Ghibli grand tourer at the 1966 Turin Auto Show. Penned by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro while at Italian design house Ghia, the long, low two-seater perfectly represented the wedge-shaped profile that dominated Italian auto design into the 70s and 80s. Continuing the practice of naming their cars after winds, the Ghibli derives its name from a scorching south-westerly wind the blows across the Libyan desert. The production version arrived in 1967, with a 2+2 layout and a front mid-mounted 4.7 liter, 306 horsepower V8. In 1969, the Ghibli SS got a slightly larger 4.9 liter V8 that was capable of pushing the car to 174 MPH — the fastest Maserati production car ever at the time. With its classic lines and raw power, the Ghibli SS is another beautiful page in Maserati's history.
Porsche 924 DP Cargo
When you think of shooting brakes, the likes of Aston Martin and even Ferrari come to mind — not Porsche. DP Motorsport, the company behind the aftermarket version of Porsche's legendary 935 Le Mans-winning race car, combined the British shooting brake and Teutonic engineering to create this 1976 Porsche 924-based DP Cargo. As with anything DP Motorsport touches, this is anything but a weekend hack job. The fit and finish of the conversion is second to none, with the hatchback being seamlessly integrated with the 924's lines. Even the seals around the new side windows and rear glass look good and weather-tight — a feat considering that DP Motorsport completed this 1986. The car also got the full-but-underwhelming 924 Turbo treatment while in the shop. Though the 924 isn't one of Porsche's sought-after models, the uniqueness and quality of the work, along with being one of only between three and nine made justify the steep asking price.
