Trump's Chinese tariff increases begin today, with Apple still threatened – 9to5Mac
Chinese tariff increases threatened by President Trump on Monday have started to take effect.
Trump made two tweeted threats to increase tariffs on Chinese imports, one of which would have hit Apple products. He has now gone ahead with half of what he promised – and says that work is underway on the half that would affect Apple …
The US government previously had a three-pronged approach to tariffs on products imported from China: a 25% tariff on selected product categories worth $50B; a 10% tariff on another $200B worth; and no tariff on the remaining product categories. Apple products currently fall into the tariff-free group.
However, Trump said he would this week be making two changes to this. First, the 10% tariff would be increased to 25%. Second, all tariff-free goods would also be taxed at 25% – which would have hit Apple.
Fortunately for the Cupertino company, Trump has so far made good on only the first half of his claim. All goods that were taxed at 10% are now taxed at 25%, but there has been no change to the tariff-free product categories – yet.
Chinese tariff increases still threaten Apple
However, the BBC reports that Trump still plans to go ahead with the rest of the plan.
US President Donald Trump said a process had begun to place 25% tariffs on a further $325bn of Chinese goods.
Apple could also be harmed even before that happens, for two reasons.
First, economists have warned that the increased tariffs will hurt the US economy. Companies which import affected goods from China will likely have to pass on some or all of the substantial extra costs to customers. That means less disposable income for consumers, which could affect their ability or willingness to buy Apple products.
Second, China is likely to find ways to retaliate. This will almost certainly involve increased tariffs on US goods, which will hurt American businesses exporting to the country (with farmers most at risk), but the Chinese government may also seek ways to punish US companies operating within China.
Deborah Elms, executive director at the Asian Trade Centre, said: "It's going to be a big shock to the economy. "Those are all US companies who are suddenly facing a 25% increase in cost, and then you have to remember that the Chinese are going to retaliate" […]
BBC economics correspondent Andrew Walker said […] there was economic research suggesting that US tariffs hit American consumers, not Chinese exporters, as President Trump argues […]
The International Monetary Fund said the row posed a "threat to the global economy".
"As we have said before, everybody loses in a protracted trade conflict," the body which aims to ensure global financial stability said in a statement, calling for a "speedy resolution".
Negotiations between the US and China continue, but today's move isn't going to make discussions any easier.

Mickey Gilley, seen here in his '80s prime, will play Stafford's Redneck Country Club on Friday night.
Mickey Gilley, the man whose name put a Pasadena honky-tonk on the map in the '70s and lead to a run on cowboy hats and pearl snap shirts, hasn't seen "Urban Cowboy" in a year or so.
"I watch it if it ever comes on TV and I use some clips during my live show," Gilley says, speaking from Springfield, Missouri en route to a gig in Branson, Missouri.
The musician and personality is still active at 82, his speaking voice an unstoppable force not unlike an auctioneer as he speaks about his decades in the country music business. He's playing Stafford's Redneck Country Club on Friday night, promising to play all 17 of his number one charting hits for fans.
Mickey Gilley onstage in 2015.
"The Redneck Country Club crowd is usually full of people who went to the old club and that is always fun," Gilley says. It's not uncommon to see Gilley's rats two-stepping on the dance floor in front of him.
He's fought hard his whole life for this fame and he has the scars to prove it. Earlier this year Gilley and his son Michael were injured in a car crash in Lufkin while en route to a gig in Branson. The elder Gilley suffered a couple of fractures, and his son reportedly walked away from their late-model Toyota SUV with minor injuries.
Gilley told Chron.com on Monday that he's largely healed from the Jan. 2018 accident, but he's still dealing with the lingering impact from a 2009 spinal cord injury which robbed him of his ability to play piano. He still regularly performs in Branson, along with doing his own touring around the country where he still plays to large crowds still high on "Urban Cowboy" lore.
When Gilley opened up the famous Gilley's nightclub with area entrepreneur Sherwood Cryer in the early '70s he didn't anticipate still talking about the club nearly 50 years later. While he racked up an impressive number of country hits, the pair tapped into a market in the area that desperately needed a place to live out their whiskey-fueled barroom fantasies when they weren't in the boardroom or toiling in the nearby refineries. The business relationship between Gilley and Cryer was never an easy one, but Gilley is thankful for how it all turned out.
"I give him credit for one thing, had it not been for him I wouldn't have ever been nationally-known and still have all this," Gilley told Chron.com. The club began to take off when Gilley was on tour promoting his music so he said he missed out on some of the more colorful moments there.

"There was a lot of people that came incognito and we didn't find out who they were later," Gilley said.
Gilley says he doesn't pay much attention to modern country music, with younger acts like Midland and others bathing themselves in the "Urban Cowboy" tight jeans and gold jewelry aesthetic that he helped birth. He says he's too busy to see what the younger generation is getting up, being so busy cementing his own legacy.
"Writing songs isn't the same," Gilley said. "They don't write songs like they used to."

As American as the Stonewall Rebellion
BY ANDY HUMM
Officials and activists at the Stonewall National Monument dedication included US Representative Carolyn Maloney, successful DOMA plaintiff Edie Windsor, New York City First Lady Chirlane McCray, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Representative Jerrold Nadler, City Councilmember Corey Johnson, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, National Park Service director Jonathan Jarvis, White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, State Senator Brad Hoylman, and Assemblymember Deborah Glick. | DONNA ACETO
While not quite as deep as the Grand Canyon or as tall as the Statue of Liberty, the 7.7 acres in and around the Stonewall Inn, scene of the monumental 1969 multi-night rebellion in the streets that sparked the modern LGBT movement, were declared, like those iconic parks, an official national monument by President Barack Obama on June 24. Three days later, in the light of day on June 27, the area was dedicated as such by federal and local officials and LGBT activists, including a handful who participated in the rebellion.

This recognition of an uprising by LGBT outcasts, who were officially criminal, sinful, mentally ill, and almost wholly closeted before that June 28, 1969 night, was an all-American inclusive affair steeped in patriotism. A soulful version of the national anthem was sung by actor Anthony Wayne. Edie Windsor, 88, who won federal recognition of same-sex marriage in 2013 at the US Supreme Court, led a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance — leaving out the words "under God," which is the way she grew up saying it before Congress inserted the deity in 1954 at the behest of the Knights of Columbus. Windsor and her partner and later wife Thea Spyer returned to New York from a vacation the second night of the rebellion and soon became activists themselves.
The crowd heard from Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, National Park Service director Jonathan Jarvis, US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and out lesbian Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, West Side Congressmember Jerrold Nadler, who is credited with quarterbacking the designation locally, and Mayor Bill de Blasio. The Village's out elected local officials –– State Senator Brad Hoylman, Assemblymember Deborah Glick, and City Councilmember Corey Johnson also delivered remarks.

The keynote speech was delivered by Tommy Lanigan-Schmidt, who was an 18-year-old participant in the rebellion and is now a prominent artist, who painted a vivid verbal picture of the Stonewall in 1969 — "a dingy non-descript building that was like a speakeasy, run by the Mafia." When the police hit the bar with a routine raid that night, "we didn't fight back because we loved the management of Stonewall," he said, "but because we were humanized in there," the one bar where slow dancing — "a full embrace" — was allowed.
There was much praise for the administration and local government officials who worked with the near unanimous support of both the LGBT and Village communities to get the national monument designation in place, mainly through the city's transfer to the federal government of little Christopher Park, across the street from the bar.
Secretary Jewell said, "It takes a village to make a national park." She also said, "We want our history to be known and to reflect who we are — the diversity of our people."

Acknowledging the atrocity in Orlando's Pulse nightclub that was fresh in everyone's minds, transgender activist Octavia Lewis said, "We have not come far enough. I want this to be a place where I can bring my children and not be fearful."
"We want to tell the American LGBT story to the world," said Gillibrand, who will continue to work with her congressional colleagues to make it "a national park, not just a monument," though monuments designated by the president, like parks, are run by the National Park Service.
Tribute was paid to the history of activism that led up to the rebellion by Obama advisor Jarrett, who cited Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon of the early lesbian group Daughters of Bilitis, Harry Hay of the Mattachine Society, Frank Kameny and Barbara Gittings who led a gay and lesbian demonstration each Fourth of July in Philadelphia from 1965 through 1969, Stephen Donaldson, the bisexual activist who formed the Student Homophile League at Columbia University in 1966, and the transgender patrons of San Francisco's Compton's Cafeteria who rioted over mistreatment, also in 1966. Jarrett also ticked off the achievements of the Obama administration on LGBT rights, from getting rid of Don't Ask, Don't Tell to its current efforts to protect transgender rights.

Hoylman called Obama "our first gay president."
De Blasio said, "We are not going to sanitize our history, we are going to remember the struggle."
The Stonewall, after all, was a direct rebellion against oppression by the NYPD.
Two mini acts of rebellion took place at the ceremony. Ken Kidd and Ann Northrop of Queer Nation unfurled a big Gilbert Baker rainbow banner reading "Equal in Every Way" behind the speaker's platform, and none of the many government security or NYPD personnel on hand tried to remove them.
Veteran gay activist Jim Fouratt, a rebellion participant, walked out on the ceremony, writing in an email later that while he supported the monument designation of the streets where the rebellion unfolded, the Stonewall Inn itself "was a symbol of our oppression not our liberation." He objected to the fact that no "reference was made to how the following three nights were organized in part by a small group of political gay men including myself, disillusioned members of the Mattachine youth component, and gay anti-war activists and lesbians kicked out of the Women's Liberation Movement."
Fouratt also objected to the "erasure of the Gay Liberation Front birthed in the third night of the Stonewall Rebellion."
Congressmember Jerrold Nadler. | DONNA ACETO
Indeed, the historical significance of Stonewall was that it led to immediate and ongoing militant organizing in the community. Historian David Carter, author of a book on Stonewall, said after the ceremony that there were around 30 gay groups at the time of the rebellion and 1,500 just two years later nationwide.
Transgender activist Stefanie Rivera, 37, talked afterwards about the continued peril "of going out and not knowing whether you will make it back" and the challenge of finding employment.
"This should have happened years ago," said her friend, Elizabeth Rivera.
Veteran gay activist Steve Ashkinazy, a founder of the Harvey Milk High School, said he went to the Stonewall at 16 "because they didn't card us." He said of the ceremony: "I am emotionally moved and thankful every time I see progress and change."

Means of Introduction: Primarily introduced through stocking, either intentional release by fisheries agencies or bait-bucket transers by anglers.
Status: Established in most areas where introduced. Extirpated in Arkansas.
Impact of Introduction: Yellow Perch compete with trout for food and likely prey on young trout (Coots 1966). Nonnative predators, including Yellow Perch, have been shown to reduce the abundance and diversity of native prey species in several Pacific Northwest rivers (Hughes and Herlihy 2012).
Remarks: Although Yerger (1977) and Lee et al. (1980 et seq.) considered this species to be introduced into the Apalachicola River in Florida, it may actually be native. Because the Apalachicola drainage was not adequately sampled in early years, introduced status may be incorrectly assumed for some species. Yellow Perch was first collected in the Mobile basin circa 1850, long before any stocking took place, indicating the species was native to this region. This record was overlooked by Lee et al. (1980 et seq.). Hence, Perca flavescens may be native to eastern Gulf drainages in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia, not introduced. Populations in Atlantic coastal drainages of Georgia, such as the Altamaha and Savannah, have been reported (Dahlberg and Scott 1971b) to be introduced. In fact we believe these populations are more likely native. Dill and Cordone (1997) gave a detailed history of this species and its introduction into California.

Melphalan is an anti-cancer medication used in the treatment of cancer of the ovary and cancer of the bone marrow.
The medication kills the cancerous cells by stopping them from dividing and increasing in number. Once the cells die, the cancerous tumor shrinks.
Melphalan is known to cause what is described as 'œdelayed' side effects. These are effects that may show symptoms months or even years after treatment was completed.
Serious delayed side effects include other types of cancers, for example, myelodysplasia and leukemia (blood cancers).
Patients need to take extra precautions while using Melphalan and monitor themselves for side effects way after they completed treatment with this drug.
The medicine may lower white blood cell levels and weaken the immune system. This makes it easier for patients to get infections.
The drug may also reduce blood platelet levels. When this happens, it is difficult for blood to clot causing excess bleeding if certain injuries occur.
This generic drug, Melphalan, is sold in the US as the brand named, Alkeran. It is supplied as an oral tablet which is available to patients by doctor's prescription only. It is also used to treat other conditions and administered in other ways not discussed here.
Unwanted symptoms may occur due to taking Melphalan. These are called adverse side effects. Other side effects that occur may be expected or required as the medicine works to treat your ovarian cancer or bone marrow cancer.
Side effects may range from mild to severe. Some of them are transient (go away after a short period of time). Serious or severe side effects usually need urgent medical attention.
You should pay attention to unusual symptoms even after your treatment ends. Patients have experienced side effects of this drug many months or years later. The development of leukemia (blood cancer) is one of the delayed side effects that have occurred in patients.
There are side effects that may occur that you can manage without having to seek medical attention. Some of them tend to go away on their own as time passes.
The following is a list of such side effects. If any of them occur but get worse, bothersome or do not go away, tell your doctor.
Some patients may experience other side effects not listed in this guide. If you notice any unusual symptoms that bother you, let your doctor or healthcare professional know.
You may talk to your doctor or healthcare professional about ways to manage side effects when they occur. They may also tell you how to reduce or prevent them from occurring.
You may report side effects by calling the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Melphalan (Alkeran) is usually supplied as 2 milligram (mg) tablets. The tablets may be given to you by itself or in combination with other drugs. You may have to take several cycles of treatment. Your doctor will decide on a treatment plan and tell you how to follow it.
Your dose, the strength of it, how often you take it, and the time between each dose will vary from other patients. It all depends on the condition you are being treated for and how long your treatment will last.
Follow all directions given to you by your pharmacist, doctor and the prescription label found on the packet of your medicine. You should also read the patient information leaflet that may be inserted into the medicine packet.
If you have any questions about the directions, ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain.
If you missed a dose of your medicine, take it as soon as possible or as directed by your doctor. If it is time to take the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue to take your doses as scheduled. Do not take an extra dose to make up for the missed dose.
Call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222 if you overdose on this drug. If the patient collapses or is not breathing, call 911.
Your doctor may take precautions when treating you or give you special instructions regarding the use of food, alcohol, tobacco or other substances during treatment. Follow them carefully.
The following medicines may cause significant adverse interaction when used during treatment with Melphalan. It does not always mean that you must stop taking any of them in order to take Melphalan.
Your doctor may need to take precautions or make changes to ensure you are able to take all your medicines safely.
It is not recommended for you to use any of the following medicines with Melphalan. Your doctor may still go ahead and treat you with it but may change some of the other medicines you take.
Usually, it is not recommended for you to use the following medicines during treatment with this cancer drug. If you are required to take any of them with Melphalan, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use any of your medicines.
To avoid an increase in the risk of certain side effects, the following drug should not be used together with Melphalan. Your doctor may decide that due to your health it is best for you to use both medicines but may change the dose or how often you use any of them.
There may be other medicines that cause adverse interaction with Melphalan that are not listed here. Speak with your doctor for more information.
Ensure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical conditions, since they may be affected while you are taking the cancer treatment.
Do not use Melphalan unless it was prescribed for you by your doctor.
Do not use it if you are allergic to it, to any of its inactive ingredients, or to any other medications.
Do not use the medicine if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant or become pregnant while taking it. Call your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment. The medicine can harm an unborn baby.
Your doctor may advise you to take birth control. This advice may be given to either a male or a female patient. Follow your doctor's recommendation on forms of birth control that may work best.
If you are breastfeeding, tell your doctor. There is a chance the medicine could pass through your breastmilk and harm your breastfeeding infant.
The medicine may be safely used in children and elderly patients without causing any specific side effects different from those seen in younger adults. Use and dose in children must be determined by their doctor.
The drug may affect fertility (the ability to have children) in women and men. Speak with your doctor about precautions you can take to reduce the risk of this happening.
The use of the medicine may affect normal cells in the body and cause other side effects or medical problems. 'œDelayed' side effects may also occur months or even years after the medicine was used.
Therefore, call your doctor right away if you notice any unusual symptoms that bother you.
Melphalan is known to weaken the immune system of some patients, making it less able to fight off infections. Avoid contact with persons who have infections.
Call your doctor right away if you notice symptoms of an infection such as body aches, chills, fever or pain or difficulty urinating.
Do not take immunizations during or after treatment before talking to your doctor. Because the medicine weakens the immune system, there is a risk of you getting the infection the immunization is intended to prevent.
Avoid people who took the oral polio vaccine. This includes people in your household. Household members could pass the polio virus to you if they took the vaccine within several months before you began treatment with Melphalan.
To prevent this, avoid being in close contact with them, such as being in the same room for long periods. If this is not practical, you should wear a protective mask to cover your nasal and buccal cavities (nose and mouth).
The medicine may also lower the blood platelet levels in your body causing blood clotting to become difficult.
To reduce the risk of bruising or bleeding, your doctor may advise you to clean your teeth and gums in ways other than by using a toothbrush, toothpick, or dental floss.
Also, use sharp devices such as razors or finger or toenail cutters with care to avoid cutting yourself.
Avoid any activity, such as contact sport, which increases your risk for bruising or injury.
Check with your doctor before doing any dental procedure.
Take Melphalan only as directed by your doctor. Do not take more or less of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer period than your doctor ordered.
If you vomit after taking your dose, call your doctor for directions on what to do next. You may have to take it again.
Before taking this cancer medication, let your doctor know if you have or have a history of any other medical conditions.
Let your doctor know, especially if you have or have a history of liver or kidney disease, a weakened immune system due to certain diseases or from taking certain medication.
To avoid adverse interaction with Melphalan, tell your doctor of all medicines you are taking or plan to take. These include prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, and health products such as multivitamins, nutritional supplements or herbal products.
Let your doctor know, especially if you are taking or plan to take medicines such as cyclosporine, cimetidine, interferon alfa, carmustine or cisplatin.
If you have a history of taking radiation or chemotherapy, let your doctor know.
Keep all follow-up appointments with your doctor or lab to keep track of side effects and your progress during and after treatment.
If you are taking Melphalan together with other medicines, ensure you take each of them at the proper time. Your doctor may help you create a plan for taking all your medicines regularly and on time.
Store the medicine in a closed container, at room temperature. Keep away from moisture, heat, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Using a safe method of disposal, throw away the medicine once it expires or is no longer needed.
You may ask your doctor, pharmacist or local waste disposal agency about safe ways to dispose of your medicines.
Melphalan is an effective medicine for the treatment of cancers such as ovarian cancer or cancer in the bone marrow.
But, it is not safe to use in pregnant women due to the risk of harm to an unborn baby. In addition, the cancer drug may cause problems with fertility in both men and women. The use of birth control becomes necessary to reduce the chance of infertility.
Despite its effectiveness, Melphalan causes post-treatment or 'œdelayed' side effects. Serious delayed side effects include other types of cancer, for example, myelodysplasia or leukemia (blood cancers).
These delayed effects may show up months or even years after treatment has ended. Due to this, patients are required to carefully monitor their symptoms during and after treatment with this medication.
Because the medicine decreases the number of white blood cells in the body, it becomes easier for patients to get infections. It also reduces the body's ability to fight off infections due to a weakened immune system.
Easy bruising and blood clotting problems are known to affect some patients. This may increase the risk of excessive bleeding if the patient suffers certain injuries.

There is no way to speed up the rate your body gets rid of alcohol. While small amounts of alcohol leave your body in your urine, sweat and breath, your liver breaks down most of the alcohol. A healthy liver breaks down less than one standard drink per hour. If your liver is damaged it takes even longer.... Give the dog access to twice as much water as his body size needs per day and keep the bowl full. A dog needs an ounce of water for every pound of weight, daily. A 20-pound dog should be given at least 40 ounces of water per day.
Drink quality water such as purified water or even better, fresh spring water (tap water usually has fluoride in it and is very toxic to the body, which your dentist may not tell you.) Use natural household cleaning agents such as diluted apple cider vinegar.

Turkey bombs Iraq —again!
May 1, 2009 CounterVortex
Turkish warplanes again bombed PKK strongholds in northern Iraq on April 29 and 30 Anakara said. The new strikes targeted positions in the Zap and Avashin-Basyan region of Iraq's Kurdish autonomous zone, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) said in a statement on its Web site. "The targets … have been hit effectively and with full accuracy," the statement said. There was no estimate of casualties.
The new raids came a day after a powerful bomb blast, blamed on the PKK, killed nine soldiers in Turkey's Diyarbakır province. Presumed PKK guerillas also shot dead a soldier near the town of Şemdinli, close to the border with Iraq. On April 29, two more soldiers were injured while trying to defuse a bomb in Eğriyamaç village, Tunceli province. The bomb was detonated by remote control.
Turkish warplanes have been hitting the PKK in northern Iraq for months under a parliamentary authorization first obtained in October 2007 and extended for another year in October 2008. Ankara says about 2,000 PKK members are taking refuge in northern Iraq. In November, Iraq, Turkey and the United States formed a joint committee to track and crack down on the PKK. (Hurriyet Daily News, April 30)

"I made more money at the end of the day when I was a smaller business".
"I'm thinking about shutting my online store down for a day. This is just too crazy to keep up".
All businesses want to grow, but with growth comes an entire onset of new challenges.
If the two above risks are not proactively managed, you'll find yourself along the same lines of the quotes listed above.
Get a hold of your expenses by shortening the cash cycle. What is a cash cycle? It represents the time it takes for money you spend today on expenses (like inventory, materials, staff, etc) to return BACK to the business (when customers pay you for your product / service). Put more simply - the average length of time from spend to receipt.
Example: a T-shirt company. Day 1 is buying the raw cotton + polyester blend materials. Day 60 is the purchase your online customer makes to buy from you. In between these days, the following tasks occurred: you designed the shirt, cut the materials, sewed the shirt, took a product photo of the shirt on a model, photoshopped the photo, wrote the marketing description for the shirt, listed the product online, advertised the shirt. From day 1 of the first expense to day 60 when you made the sale means your cash cycle is 60 days.
Good news: These steps above are relatively straight forward and totally possible to implement. It is very feasible to start quickly and start making a dent in those diminishing profits!
The bad news: These aren't quick band-aid fixes you can put in haphazardly and hastily. These will need some real analysis, and you / your staff will most likely not be able to do it by yourself - to attempt to do so may result in a waste of time.
So here is what you do. The best approach is to seek external expert advice. When you hire an expert in finance and operations, ask them to explain what they are doing in detail - how they are doing it (don't be shy about asking for thorough explanations, either) - and that way you can still remain in control by following up with them, time and time again.
The most important thing is to take action - now that you have sales growth, don't waste time! Growth won't stay forever, grab that profit while you can so you can be prepared for whatever the business climate brings in the future!
Questions on how to manage growth? We would love to help.

Mental Health: An Association To Support In Portugal
Marialma Team
Balanced Life healthy lifestyle mental health mental health and social media mental health association mental health at work mental health illness mental health therapy mental illness partnership
Find out all about our new partnership with ENCONTRAR+SE.
MARIALMA® bases its concept on the well-being and in the balance of the human being. And as mental health is crucial for a balanced life, we've decided to donate 1% of all our sales to projects related to Mental Health promotion, developed and led by ENCONTRAR+SE. This Portuguese Association arises from the need to develop solutions to the difficulties encountered in the development, implementation, evaluation, and research of effective responses to the promotion of mental health and the prevention of mental illness in Portugal.
If you want to know the reasons why we support this cause, all you have to do is to keep scrolling!
RELATED: The Key to Happiness is a Balanced Life!
A contribution to the promotion of mental illness in Portugal.
ENCONTRAR+SE seeks to actively contribute to the development of projects that contribute to the promotion of mental health and the prevention of mental illness in Portugal.
One of the main areas of intervention is related to the psychosocial rehabilitation of patients with severe mental illness through scientifically validated initiatives including training, intervention, evaluation, and research, filling the well-recognized treatment gap in mental health care by public health services in Portugal.
ENCONTRAR+SE uses an intervention approach based on the community model of action, with a strong focus on empowerment promoting the active participation of people with mental illness and their families in the different processes related to recovery and rehabilitation.
The role of the Centre of Integrative Care (CAI)
After 13 years of existence, ENCONTRAR+SE's Center for Integrative Care (CAI) has already helped hundreds of people in their process of recovery from a mental health problem. CAI supports most of the costs of these treatments, and to this end, it is financed by private companies and other benefactors that believe in the project. That's why it makes sense for a brand that shares MARIALMA's values to support this association to help them to fulfil the mission.
The services provided by the Centre of Integrative Care (CAI) include:
Psychotherapy;
Cognitive rehabilitation;
Academic/professional rehabilitation;
Occupational activities;
Social support;
Intervention with families.
Get to know some of the projects we support:
1. Mind at work
The promotion of mental health and well-being in the workplace has been progressively identified as essential in a globalized and competitive market. Indeed, studies demonstrate that companies that promote and safeguard workers' mental health and well-being are among the most sustainable and competitive ones (WHO, 2010 Report).
ENCONTRAR+SE has been a pioneer in raising awareness to the importance of mental health in the workplace. The Mind at Work project seeks to provide means that can adequately meet the issues related to mental health workers to develop individual and collective strategies to ensure the welfare of workers and the proper functioning of organizations.
2. Taking mental health to further places
One of the problems/obstacles in the field of health is the high number of people suffering from mental illness that are also victims of exclusion and segregation, hence constituting a human risk group.
Following this, the project aims at addressing the lack of answers to this level and support people with greater financial need and/or with no response from the National Health Service. This project is intended for adults (age>18 years) with mental illness and/or psychological distress and/or family/caregivers of people with mental illness.
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

The Bitch is back! CRUELLA announced for NW Metal Fest in 2018
Please welcome Portland heavy metal masters CRUELLA to the 2018 Metalfest! Formed in early 1986 by guitarist Roger Decarlo and bassist Kate "Fate" Wilson. Soon Dave Hval joined on drums, Rick Nolen on vocals and Kirk Johnson on second guitar. They did a couple demo tapes and had two albums out on US Metal Records (a German label) - Vengeance is Mine (1988) and Shock the World (1990). They weathered various band lineup changes over the life of the band and played many shows in the NW at Starry Night, Pine Street Theater, Metal Palace, Ballard Firehouse, etc. The band broke up in early 1990, but reformed a short while later as a trio with DeCarlo on guitar,Robert Conrad on bass and lead vocals and Charles Nelson on drums and continued on playing shows until late 1992. DeCarlo and Nelson went on to join Arachnid and Conrad joined Lawless. NW Metalworx Music put out a 30th Anniversary vinyl LP reissue of Vengeance Is Mine in July of this year and Heaven and Hell Records reissued both albums on CD a couple of months later (with the latter album including never-before released demos from a last recording session in '92). This is the first time the band has played live since a one-off reunion in 1999 and features Roger DeCarlo, Rob Conrad, Charlie Nelson and new member Jym Harris on lead vocals.

Go backcountry skiing, snow tubing, kayaking and more with Joint Base Lewis-McChord's Northwest Adventure Center this winter and into the new year.
Every year, the center provides various winter activities for service members and their family members to experience in the Pacific Northwest.
One of the most popular events is snowshoeing.
"We snowshoe at night in the mountains, and it totally changes your perspective because the snow gives off a different light in the moonlight," Hinton said.
Military Appreciation Days at Crystal Mountain and Stevens Pass is also popular.
"Everything is half price or extremely discounted on those days," he said.
According to Hinton, snow tubing is an obvious favorite for families.
Any military ID cardholder can attend these events and can bring up to four guests.
Something new at the center is the JBLM Alpine Club, which is a new group that implements three-division alpine mountaineering, rock climbing and backcountry skiing.
"We're doing it in a club format as a social component. (At) the end result after two years of training, you'll be able to climb on your own and keep coming back to us for additional improvements," said John Dorman, JBLM recreation specialist mountain guide.
The JBLM Northwest Adventure Center plans to offer 40 hours of skill-based education that includes an overnight trip to the mountains to practice those skills. Dorman said he hopes to run about 10 trips to Mount Rainier over the summer and in-between — also going to Mount Baker, Mount Hood and Mount Stuart.
The club covers all three activities; people can sign up which ones they want or take all of them.
The first club meeting will be next year in January and next class in February.
