1st-Philippine Pro-Democracy Movement's Manifesto versus the RH Bill
From the Facebook page of the 1st-Philippine Pro-Democracy (1-PRODEM) Foundation:
The 1st Philippine Pro-Democracy (1-PRODEM) Foundation is a non stock, non-profit organization composed of professionals coming from different fields of discipline. Our organization advocates for a realization of a progressive, responsible and organized democracy towards a genuine sustainable national development. 1-PRODEM do recognize the importance of life and its value in building a nation The entire country at present is divided on the issue of the Reproductive Health Bill. Numerous sectors of the society such as the church, youth, politicians and the academe made their stand on the issue.
1-PRODEM having the advocacy of realizing peace of national unification, we would like to put in record our strong critical opposition to the RH Bill and do stand for its immediate rejection.
In as much as we recognized the impact of rapid population increase as a deterrent to national development, we do not believe that passing the RH Bill would help decrease the population and will have an impact to economic development, the economic problems in our country is not the direct effect of population increase, the problem of population increase whose effect is poverty is brought about by the terrorism, insurgency and other relevant variables.
Base on the manifestations presented by the proponents of RH Bill, they categorically proclaim that the rapid increase in population causes poverty and economic problem. We strongly opposed this manifestation for the reason that the root cause of rapid population increase and poverty is almost the half a century of bloody insurgency and terrorism in our country. Sadly to say, such problem of terrorism is not being presented on the discussion table as a cause of poverty. These terrorists as classified by the US State Department are the Abu Sayyaf, CPP/NPA/NDF, MILF, and MNLF. These terrorist groups are forcing people from the provinces to migrate to urban center such as the overcrowded National Capital Region in search for peace and of better economic opportunities.
Opportunities of economic growth and development in provinces where terrorism and insurgencies is present cannot prosper for the reason that potential investors are afraid to establish investments that will create employment and livelihood to the local constituents, Also, this migration from provinces to key urban cities causes overpopulation, thus creating problems in job opportunities, housing, food requirements and other variables. These lacks of job opportunities according to studies have a great impact on criminal activities such as petty crimes, robberies, and other crimes against person.
1-PRODEM also conducted a study on the informal settlers in Metro Manila, the findings of the study states that most people who live in squatter areas are those who were displace in provinces, where terrorism and insurgency is present. The finding also states that most people in squatter areas whose head of the family is unemployed have an average children of six to seven, compared to families living in subdivision and condominiums who happens to be employed, their average children is two. This indicates that lack of employment and poverty in our country causes the rapid increase in population.
In a nutshell, other sectors such as the church, and medical community have presented their opposition base on their advocacy and discipline, which our organization, 1-PRODEM categorically support.
1-PRODEM critically opposed the RH Bill on the premise that the passage of the bill will not prevent population increase and this bill would not reduce the poverty in our country. As far as terrorism and insurgency is not suppress in the Philippines, the problem of poverty will still remain, and population increase cannot be prevented. Our legislators must concentrate on proposing bills that would suppress terrorism and insurgency. Ergo, our calls to our honorable legislator are to FIGHT TERRORISM, SUPPRESS POVERTY and REJECT the Reproductive Health Bill.
This is the only way that we could realize a genuine progressive, responsible and organize democracy toward a sustainable national development.

Wow, Ann, you don't even have to be there to do something. I can imagine a lot of uses, as you mention, for this technology. It is really something futuristic and shows the tremendous progress in understanding how we work.
One problem that will need to be solved is that of operator distraction. If adverse things can happen when a distracted operator is actually hands on with a machine, imagine what could happen with one controlled only by thoughts.
TJ, that's a good point. OTOH, the robot only recognizes, and responds to, specific thoughts it's been programmed for. So if it gets thoughts it doesn't understand, nothing will happen. The potential danger will depend on the robot's size, abilities, and what it's doing.
I know what you mean, Rob. But so far, this technology only tells robots to make simply body movements that the "sender" thinks about. I suppose it could eventually be extended to firing a gun or some other wartime function. OTOH, we're already doing remote bombing without thought control.

No bond for foster father charged in toddler's drowning
A foster father has been charged in the death of a 2-year-old boy who drowned in a community pool in September, authorities said.
Travis Henry Wagner, 37, of Greenville, was charged Wednesday with homicide by child abuse, according to a warrant.
Za'Marion Wilcox was with his foster family in the Partridge Ridge community pool on Labor Day when he fell into the water, according to the Greenville County Coroner's Office.
A foster parent pulled the toddler out, and witnesses administered CPR until paramedics arrived, the Coroner's Office said.
He was pronounced dead upon arrival at Greenville Memorial Hospital.
At a bond hearing Wednesday night, Wagner's attorney, Sloan Ellis, said Za'Marion's death was a "tragic accident."
Travis and Rebecca Wagner "loved Za'Marion like Za'Marion was their own child," Ellis said. "This is a nightmare that could have happened to any parent."
Judge Horace Butler denied Wagner bond and said it will be up to a circuit court judge to set an amount at a future date.
Za'Marion's mother, Njamena Wilcox, sat in the front row at the hearing with Bruce Wilson, founder of Fighting Injustice Together.
Speaking on her behalf, Wilson asked that Wagner not be allowed around children as a condition of his bond.
"This child was only in this family's custody for two weeks," Wilson said.
Wagner, a registered foster parent with the state Department of Social Services, was responsible for the child's welfare at the time, an arrest warrant alleges.
In a statement, Ellis said Wagner and his wife "felt a calling to become foster parents in order to provide a loving home for children who had been removed from their biological parents."
Za'Marion was the family's fifth foster child.

Saturday turned out to be an amazing day.
My sweetie and I took advantage of some time together at home to rearrange the furniture in the living room. There’s something cathartic about making changes that begins to free the creativity in my soul. On Saturdays post I chatted about taking a detour while working on the Quilted Block of the Month. I’m actually breaking out the Marcia Derse fabric that’s been waiting for me to use it for quite a long time. While stitching the other day I noticed another charm pack featuring Marcia’s fabric, then found some solids to go with it. Then remembered that I have those fat quarters that have been waiting and waiting for me to use them. Stay tuned to see how this all works out.
When we last encountered our Quilted Block of the Month I’d finished the kaleidoscope block under the needle. Now, I may need to back up and show the finished quilt again, though that will be another day because there are exciting things on the horizon with the whole cloth part of this adventure.
I chose the solid Oatmeal batik from SewBatik, cutting a 20” square. This gives space for the block, and the opportunity to create a border for the quilt, this will be determined later on, once the block itself is complete.
Since this is a light background the lead for the SewLine pencil that I’ve been marking with lately is too light for these old eyes to see, so I turned to one of my handy dandy chalk pencils that wear off with great ease. I used a gray, which actually provides just enough contrast to see the lines.
Batting wise I’m using Quilters Select Perfect Cotton Batting, and Quilters Select Soft Wool. The cotton is the first layer at the back of the quilt, the wool the top layer nearest the oatmeal batik.
Thread wise I’m using Floriani 60 weight in the top, and in the bobbin. I’ll be using this thread through the entire project. This should be fun. I started with hot pink to stitch the bones. There are loads more colors and lots of motifs to stitch out.
Enjoy your stitching,
Lately upon entering the sewing room there is a strong sense of being overwhelmed with ideas. Lots of ideas tumbling over, and over each seeking the deserved attention. While writing that sentence an idea to make a whole cloth using 60 weight thread in the top and bobbin popped into my head. I think I’m going to make a three-fer out of that one to feature the Floriani 60 weight thread, Quilters Select Wool batting, and for the Quilted Block of the Month for the blog. If I get really ambitious I might make more than one to share with a at least one other Educator.
The day started looking for a USB stick to transfer embroidery designs to the machine. While looking I found sample packs of fabric lines by Leslie Jenison – Urban Artifacts, and Alex Anderson – Mirage. So using them in the same quilt seems the only thing to do. Now a disclaimer, I’m not in love with using precuts, I know there are a lot of people who love them very much, and I see their value in the quilting world. And I would not ever tell anyone not to use them. They’re simply not my fave. So using them is a bit of a challenge for me.
After pairing them up, stitching and pressing I looked at the fabric stash, finding a line of striped batiks that I adore. I cut 9 1/2” strips, and 5” squares. Piecing for a good bit of the day yesterday was cathartic. That also meant that I didn’t do the Quilted Block of the Month, for good reason…I had no idea what fabric I wanted to stitch it out on. Gah! Quilters Block! Calgon take me away!
This morning I decided that the SewBatik Oatmeal is the way to go. It’ll show the color of the thread well, and marking it will be fairly easy. Sometimes sitting on a project for an extra day or two is completely worth it, for me, and for the Quilted Block of the Month Project in part to show you that I struggle with determining designs, and colors. What has come to seem intuitive is actually a lot of thought.
After a bit more looking I did find the USB stick that I needed, and have transferred a few Pickle Pie Designs embroidery designs that I want to stitch out as samples. I’ll get going on each of these projects after a few home projects. I’ll post now and again to Instagram…so keep an eye there.
Please pardon the angle of the photo, the layout is on my ironing board as I’m using a product that is still in the design phase and I can’t show it just yet. This is the beginning of a second quilt for the Sew Much Cosplay booth at International Quilt Market. I had an idea, a color wash of sorts with light batik dots, and Plaster of Paris from Frond Design Studio. and it was kind of working but I knew last night it wasn’t quite right. So I set it aside to get some rest.
Diane Magidson of SewBatik saw the fabric I’d originally cut for the quilt and asked if it was Tequila Sunrise Gradation. She knows her product. Diane’s question got me thinking about my two fave times of the day: sunrise, and sunset. (Queue Music!) I got started listening to the idea of the color wash but limiting the number of fabrics being used to Tequila Sunrise. I’m happy to let the fabric do the work for me.
So much better. The dot fabrics are there just in case.
Once I got a few more pieces filled in I grabbed a silicone pressing sheet from C&T and got started pressing. The Teflon sheet I have is just a little too heavy to transfer the heat well. The silicon release sheet allowed the heat to transfer and released the fusible product without any problem.
Shh don’t tell anyone I need an new ironing board cover. I’m going to Market next week and I have my eye on a couple of places to look.
The quilt top is ready to be stitched.
I’ll post an update on Instagram later once the top is pieced and ready for quilting.
Catch ya later,
So, September and October can be a bit dodgy posting regularly. I’m learning how to use the Floriani Total Control U digitizing software. A friend asked me for some help with a bit of digitizing. I’d imported a photo into FTCU and told the software to do it’s thing. I couldn’t remember what I did. Well hello very popular search engine! Looky what I found. Getting Started with FTCU, complete with the solution. The internet has everything.
Now onto the Block. Spirals seem to be the thing, at least for the center, and spiraling out, well, kind of.
Once the spirals were echoed once I wanted to keep the outward moving feel.
The video shows the feather work that continues out.
I’m still learning how to use the mouse and the touchscreen to draw on images. There’s a good feel for what the rest of the quilting will look like.
And here we go with a multi block piece. I do have more kaleidoscope pieces to cut and make into something special.
This coming week will see me preparing for the Dutchess Heritage Celebration, working on Floriani projects, and getting two quilts pieced for Quilt Market.
Oh so you know I have a Sizzix. For anyone who doesn’t like the cutting process, or who has physical issues that limit their ability to cut fabric. Ebony Love of Love Bug Studios has some new dies she’d like to get made. And this quilter would love the dies because the quilts are gorgeous! She’s got a kickstarter campaign to raise the funds. FYI, a kickstarter is akin to a stock IPO on the stock exchange, a way of raising funds to get some work accomplished. What I love about this kickstarter is this allows all of us to benefit from Ebony’s creativity and damn hard work.
Yep, that’s what happened. I took the two plus hour trip to PNQE at the Oaks Sunday morning. I went just to go. Most shockingly of all – duhn duhn duh – I went by Myself. While this isn’t anything unusual, I went to visit with friends. That’s it. Visit. I didn’t buy anything. I didn’t take any pictures of quilts, though I walked the entire show floor. Many friends have quilts in the show, quilts that I love.
I enjoyed simply being there. I did have a lengthy conversation with Linda Pillion-Lease. Then chatted with Lisa Calle, and Sarah Bond. It was lovely. Lovely.
At the end of the day I did help Diane of SewBatik tear down, and load out. I was a wee bit too lazy to go change my into my sneakers. Note to self: change into your sneakers. Your toes will thank you later. No, no damage to toes, however a close call that was my fault. HA.
I arrived home around midnight having thoroughly enjoyed the day of simply being with friends.
Follow me on:
Twitter – @terificreations
If you’ve been following on Instagram you may have taken a gander at this:
I’ve been working on a batik kaleidoscope quilt on and off over the last several weeks. It all started with the Sizzix Big Shot Pro, having the ability to cut the pieces quickly, cleanly and easily. There are a couple of things I want to do with the blocks and hey! I can cut more really easily.
So the first thing is:
September Block of the Month
Thankfully EQ6 is available making mocking up the block super easy.
I am using an orange/gold for the background on all the blocks. The orange in the mock up is a bit more on the hot red side because warm is good!
So this month there will be a mock up block and a pieced block.
Excited yet? Because I am.
I may have let out a little bit squeal when the idea hit for how to quilt this last section of this August Block. I’ve been playing with curved cross hatching a lot lately and loving it.
In giving thought to the shape, that corners look like a house and wanting the Visual to draw the eye to the peak of the roof the curve would head in that direction – generally.
Repeating – not going for perfection rather I’m going for effect. I’m using the dark stitched line as my ditch to move along. Today’s thread is Superior Threads Twist, a 40 weight trilobal polyester twisting two shades of color together. It’s really incredible.
I knew I would like the curved cross hatch. What I wasn’t expecting is to love it, when combined with the other motifs in the block. There is real dynamic and subtle movement.
The curved cross hatch feeds into the twist of the “log cabin” style quilting in the on point squares. Add the spiral in and the visual movement is so cool. I chose print by SewBatik for the quilt top. The quilting ends up having a subtle rather than overpowering effect on the quilt. There are a few things that factor into that: the color in the print, the color of the threads, the weight of the thread, and the density of quilting.
The movement is even more apparent on the back of the quilt block. I can imagine a whole quilt of this block quilted just like this.
This is one reason to sit with a quilt and let it speak to you. All week, while I’ve worked on a couple of other things I’ve been looking wondering what to do. And here we go.
August Quilted Block of the Month an Original
August Quilted Block of the Month Week 2
Because this month isn’t quite as involved I’m going to do a little something special for next week. Not quite sure yet but something is simmering in my head so stay tuned.
August 31st I’m participating in the Back to School Blog Hop.
Monday evening I leave for training on the Floriani Total Control U Software. I’m excited, and looking forward to this new venture. I’ll be blogging here and posting my schedule.

Leonardo DiCaprio is set to kick another cutie to the curb!
Sources revealed to RadarOnline.com that the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor, 45, is being nagged to “commit or quit” with Argentine model Camila Morrone, 22, and leaning toward giving her the boot.
“Leo loves being with Camila, but he’s been getting so much pressure to put a ring on it, he’s ready to hit the bricks,” said a source.
The two reportedly started dating in 2017, and new photos show a growing chill between them while sharing the holidays in beautiful St. Bart’s.
Despite their surroundings, DiCaprio was glued to his cellphone and ignored brunette stunner Morrone, who looked annoyed.
The Titanic star also played it cool with Morrone at W magazine’s pre-Golden Globes party at the Chateau Marmont penthouse in L.A., said a source.
“Leo sat at a corner table chatting with Armie Hammer and another pal, drinking and smoking,” noted the source. “He refused to cut his evening short when Camila felt sick and wanted to go home.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, The Revenant Oscar winner’s mom, Irmelin Indenbirken, has urged him to marry Camila — especially after his endless flings with models and actresses.
“Irmelin wants grandkids, and she’d like to be able to enjoy them in her golden years. She’s telling Leo to get a move on and marry Camila,” the insider said.
But Indenbirken’s nudge only served to push her son further away from a trip to the altar.
“Leo’s a bachelor through and through,” said the source. “He wants to do what he wants to do, and when he starts feeling cornered, that’s his cue to end it.”
DiCaprio and Morrone did not respond to requests for comment.

As the title of this blog suggests, I’m firmly in proof-reading mode at the moment. I’m looking for typos everywhere: in the newspaper while on the tram, on menus in restaurants, and of course in my novel. Although I’ve read, re-read and read the novel again since it’s been edited, there are still some cheeky typos hidden right in front of my nose (a very unfortunate one where “six months” appeared as “sex months”)! Luckily I’ve enlisted the editing help of some esteemed colleagues who have been tremendous in helping me spot the last remnants. It’s amazing what a fresh pair of eyes can offer.
As the weather turns cold here in Melbourne, I reflected on the day that I “finished” writing The Devil’s in the Detail. It was the day after New Year’s Day and it was a sweltering 40 degrees Celcius. After typing the last line, I didn’t quite know what to do or who to tell. I decided to celebrate with a dinner and a solitary drink at the local pub and eventually slid into bed exhausted. Exhausted, but finished!
Or so I thought.
How wrong I was to think I’d really finished. After multiple rounds of editing, searching for an agent, trying to get a publisher and eventually confronting the world of self-publishing, the “post-production” of the novel has been every part as difficult as actually writing it. In many ways, the last six months have been the steepest part of the journey, but I’m pleased to report that I can finally see the summit!
So with the final proof-read almost done, and a printing company secured, I’m excited to announce that in coming weeks I’ll be able to announce details on the release of The Devil’s in the Detail in paperback and eBook. So stay tuned to my Facebook page or at Twitter (is there any truth to the rumour that they are merging into one site called TwitFace?) for details.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Distaff contenders for the 37th Breeders’ Cup World Championships arrive for their first works on the Keeneland track.
Ce Ce – Bo Hirsch’s Ce Ce got her first sampling of the main track at Keeneland at 6 o’clock Tuesday morning galloping under exercise rider Osman Cedeno for trainer Michael McCarthy. Ce Ce had galloped on the all-weather training track Monday morning following her arrival from her Southern California base.
“I was hoping for somewhere between four and eight,” McCarthy said. “Coming out of a seven-eighths race (the Derby City Distaff in which she finished fourth), I expect her to be forwardly placed just in behind the first flight.”
Dunbar Road – Peter Brant’s Dunbar Road, one day after arriving from New York, jogged a circuit of Keeneland’s main track. The 2019 Alabama winner has pleased trainer Chad Brown with her preparation and will run in the Longines Distaff for the second consecutive year, having finished fifth of 11 in 2019 at Santa Anita. She enters off a lackluster performance in the Beldame at Belmont, finishing third by 5¼ lengths after going off as the even-money favorite.
“I don’t know what happened in her last race,” Brown said. “The only thing I can say—I know it’s an unpopular excuse—but maybe she didn’t like the track. She trained really, really well, but then just never picked her feet up in the race. I was so shocked by it. She’s come back and trained brilliantly.
“She has a run at Keeneland before, last year, and I thought she ran quite well,” Brown continued. “She had a tough, tight trip down inside and should have won the Spinster.”
This season, Dunbar Road has raced just three times, winning the Shawnee Stakes at Churchill Downs in May before landing July’s Delaware Handicap by 3 lengths.
Harvest Moon – Alice Bamford and Michael Tabor’s Harvest Moon was back on the main track at 6 o’clock to gallop a day after jogging on Keeneland’s all-weather training track.
Trained by Simon Callaghan, Harvest Moon drew post two for Saturday’s Distaff and will be partnered as she has in her past four starts by Flavien Prat. Harvest Moon is 12-1 on the morning line.
“That should be OK,” Callaghan said. “All the speed is to her outside and she should be able to get a good position.”
Horologist – New Jersey-bred Horologist—owned by Medallion racing, Abbondanza racing, Parkland Thoroughbreds, There’s A Chance Stable, Paradise Farms Corp. and David Staudacher—will attempt to give trainer Bill Mott a record-extending sixth win in the Longines Distaff on Saturday and drew post four of 10 in the race. Junior Alvarado will ride, seeking his first Breeders’ Cup trophy.
“I feel really good about her,” Alvarado said. “She ran a big race at Belmont. They were going pretty quick and I was worried, but when I asked her, she really kicked for me and came home fast. I know it’s a good race, but I have a lot of confidence in her and I think she could be one of my best chances on Saturday.”
Alvarado has five mounts in this weekend’s Championship races.
Lady Kate – Lady Kate jogged and galloped at Churchill Downs and will train again there Wednesday prior to shipping to Keeneland. All Breeders’ Cup entrants for Saturday’s races must be at Keeneland by 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Lady Kate, fourth behind Distaff entrants Valiance and Ollie’s Candy in Keeneland’s Juddmonte Spinster Stakes Oct. 4, drew the No. 6 post position in the field of 10.
“We are happy with the post position,” trainer Eddie Kenneally said. “It is a strong, deep race with very good fillies and mares and we are not under estimating any of them. This is the biggest race of her career and she is coming into it phenomenal. She couldn’t be doing any better and she couldn’t look any better.”
Monomoy Girl – The 2018 Longines Distaff winner Monomoy Girl left the barn to gallop with regular exercise rider Fernando Espinoza at 7:50 a.m. and continues to impress as she attempts her second victory in the 1 1/8m race. She missed all of 2019 because of a series of minor setbacks, but has been perfect in three starts this year, including the La Troienne on the Kentucky Oaks undercard Sept. 4 in her most recent start.
“We considered the Spinster (Oct. 4) after the La Troienne, but we thought with the timing it worked out better to go straight into the Distaff given the fact that we have spaced her races out this year,” trainer Brad Cox said. “It seems to be working well. We wanted to stay on the same pattern. She couldn’t be doing any better.”
Ollie’s Candy – Paul and Karen Eggert’s Ollie’s Candy galloped 1 1/2m on the main track under Juan Leyva for trainer John Sadler.
Rated as a 10-1 chance on the morning line for the Distaff, Ollie’s Candy will break from post nine under Joel Rosario.
“The post is fine,” Sadler said. “It is a little bit outside but I prefer it to being inside.”
Fourth in the Distaff last year at Santa Anita, Ollie’s Candy is winless in 2020 but has three runner-up finishes and two thirds from five starts that all came in Grade 1 races.
“It is tremendously frustrating being a head or neck from winning Grade 1s,” Sadler said. “Her owner (Paul Eggert) has a saying that maybe she is saving her luck for the big day.”
Ollie’s Candy has raced at five tracks in 2020, most recently at Keeneland where she was second in the Juddmonte Spinster Oct. 4.
“I don’t think she cares that much for the main track at Santa Anita,” Sadler said. “She has run all over … Oaklawn, Belmont, Keeneland … and even though she hasn’t won, I think her form is better and her speed figures are better.”
Point of Honor – Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Stetson Racing LLC’s Point of Honor galloped 1 3/8m over Keeneland’s main track Tuesday morning in preparation for a start in the Distaff.
Despite finishing 1-2-3 in 10 of 11 career starts, including five Grade 1 placings, Point of Honor was rated at 30-1 following Monday’s post position draw for the particularly deep Distaff field.
“She’s shown up every time. Even though she’s not winning, she hits the board,” trainer George Weaver said. “You always see her face coming down the lane.”
Weaver understands the imposing challenge the 4yo daughter of Curlin will face while meeting the likes of Monomoy Girl, the 8-5 morning line favorite who won the 2018 Distaff and is undefeated this year, and Swiss Skydiver, the 2020 Preakness winner who is rated at 2-1.
“They don’t give these races away. They’re championship races. You don’t find easy spots,” he said. “Throughout the year, you might find an easy one, but this is where everyone comes together, which makes it a special event.”
Swiss Skydiver – Peter Callahan’s Swiss Skydiver made her usual early appearance Tuesday morning with regular rider Robby Albarado on board and jogged once around before an easy 1 1/2m gallop.
The Daredevil filly has only made one start at Keeneland in her career when second in the Blue Grass to Art Collector in July, but she does hold a bit of a home-court advantage in the Distaff.
“She’s stabled here a lot in her career, that bottom barn has been our base for a long time,” trainer Kenny McPeek said. “She knows the routine of walking up the hill. Robby’s getting on her all week. He wanted to, which I like. She’s just doing pretty basic stuff.”
Swiss Skydiver, who was second in the Kentucky Oaks, enters the Distaff off her victory against males in the Preakness Stakes, which was a very satisfying victory for McPeek.
“It was pretty awesome,” McPeek said. “We stuck our necks out because we thought she deserved a chance. It was a tough call because we had to decide to go against straight 3-year-olds or go against older horses. We felt like the upside was there and she came through for us. It was very cool.”
Valiance – The winner of Keeneland’s Spinster on Oct. 4 got reacquainted with the track Tuesday morning after arriving Monday from trainer Todd Pletcher’s Belmont Park base.
“I love the way she has been training,” Pletcher said. “She was very enthusiastic this morning.”
Valiance has won six of eight career starts by racing just behind the leaders in the early parts of the race.
“I think (the eight of 10) post position in the Distaff is fine,” Pletcher said. “With a mile and an eighth race, you have time to get over and see how the race unfolds. What is important for her is to get in a good steady rhythm. There is enough pace in there, so I suspect she will be in the second tier.”

Iron helps to create the hemoglobin that carries oxygen in your blood. It’s also important to maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. Due to the amount of blood lost during menstruation, women of childbearing age need more than twice the amount of iron that men do—even more during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, many of us aren’t getting nearly enough iron in our diets, making iron deficiency anemia the most common deficiency in women.
When you do high-intensity interval training (and if you’re not, you should be!), follow a 2:1 work-to-rest ratio, such as sprinting one minute followed by 30 seconds of recovery. [Tweet this secret!] According to several studies, the most recent out of Bowling Green State University, this formula maximizes your workout results. The BGSU researchers also say to trust your body: Participants in the study set their pace for both running and recovery according to how they felt, and by doing so women worked at a higher percentage of their maximum heart rate and maximum oxygen consumption than the men did.

Women who are socially marginalized are more likely to die at younger ages than women who are not. Women who have substance abuse disorders, who are homeless, who are sex workers, and/or who are imprisoned have significantly shorter lives than other women. At any given age, women in these overlapping, stigmatized groups are approximately 10 to 13 times more likely to die than typical women of the same age.
Internationally, many United Nations agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and UNICEF maintain specific programs on women's health, or maternal, sexual and reproductive health. In addition the United Nations global goals address many issues related to women's health, both directly and indirectly. These include the 2000 Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and their successor, the Sustainable Development Goals adopted in September 2015, following the report on progress towards the MDGs (The Millennium Development Goals Report 2015). For instance the eight MDG goals, eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality and empowering women, reducing child mortality rates, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS malaria and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and developing a global partnership for development, all impact on women's health, as do all seventeen SDG goals, in addition to the specific SDG5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
When you’re at the bar or a party and starving, your options aren’t always the best. But if it’s bruschetta, chips and salsa, or wings, go for the chicken (though nuts would be even better). Protein fills you up faster than carbs do, making it less likely that you’ll overeat, says Christopher Ochner, Ph.D., a research associate at New York Obesity Nutrition Research Center at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center. And since it’ll keep you satiated longer, you won’t be as tempted when your friend orders a brownie sundae or brings out a tray of blondies.
Women's Health magazine focuses on the emotional and physical process of healthy living. Featuring sections such as fitness, food, weight loss, Sex & Relationships, health, Eat This!, style, and beauty, this magazine focuses on the health of the whole woman. Although the magazine is relatively new, the success it has reached since its inception in 2005 speaks volumes about the magazine's ability to connect with women everywhere.
In addition to diet, exercise and other lifestyle factors can also play an important role in bone health. Smoking and drinking too much alcohol can increase your chances of developing osteoporosis, while weight-bearing exercise (such as walking, dancing, yoga, or lifting weights) can lower your risk. Strength or resistance training—using machines, free weights, elastic bands, or your own body weight—can be especially effective in helping to prevent loss of bone mass as you age.
Similarly, the interview with Brooks is great, highlighting the beauty of her latest Lane Bryant ad with Ashley Graham, Candice Huffine, and Denise Bidot. Which makes it even harder to get past the “How to finally lose those last 5 pounds” tip posted on the front page of the magazine’s website. Mixed messages, Shape. Is it “love your shape” or “keep striving for hard-to-obtain body goals”?
Laparoscopy (lap-uh-ROS-kuh-pee): A minor surgery to see inside the abdomen. The doctor does this with a small tool with a light called a laparoscope (LAP-uh-roh-skohp). She or he makes a small cut in the lower abdomen and inserts the laparoscope. With the laparoscope, the doctor can check the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus for disease and physical problems. Doctors can usually find scarring and endometriosis by laparoscopy.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death (30%) amongst women in the United States, and the leading cause of chronic disease amongst them, affecting nearly 40% (Gronowski and Schindler, Tables I and IV). The onset occurs at a later age in women than in men. For instance the incidence of stroke in women under the age of 80 is less than that in men, but higher in those aged over 80. Overall the lifetime risk of stroke in women exceeds that in men. The risk of cardiovascular disease amongst those with diabetes and amongst smokers is also higher in women than in men. Many aspects of cardiovascular disease vary between women and men, including risk factors, prevalence, physiology, symptoms, response to intervention and outcome.
The total fat in your daily diet should average no more than 30 percent of your total calories consumed. And saturated fat should be no more than 10 percent of those 30 percent of calories. The amount of fat and saturated fat you eat depends on the foods you select and consume that have fat in them. Consider consulting with a nutrition professional to learn more about how to calculate your fat needs and to not exceed what are healthy amounts. There are many tools available to help you determine how much fat you should consume each day based on your current energy and nutrition needs. Reading food labels is one way to begin to identify where and how much fat is in particular food items.
Nutrition-sensitive approaches are difficult to link to women's nutritional status (5, 102). This is due to limited measurement of benefits to program beneficiaries, families, households, and communities, limited timeframes to evaluate long-term impact, logistical and political realities that make implementation difficult, and different priorities of different stakeholders in multisectoral programs (102). Many nutrition-sensitive approaches, as will be described, thus focus on more distal measures of impact (e.g., coverage, knowledge) and not more proximal measures of women's nutritional status (e.g., BMI, anemia status, etc.).

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world and the most common among women. It is also among the ten most common chronic diseases of women, and a substantial contributor to loss of quality of life (Gronowski and Schindler, Table IV). Globally, it accounts for 25% of all cancers. In 2016, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed among women in both developed and developing countries, accounting for nearly 30% of all cases, and worldwide accounts for one and a half million cases and over half a million deaths, being the fifth most common cause of cancer death overall and the second in developed regions. Geographic variation in incidence is the opposite of that of cervical cancer, being highest in Northern America and lowest in Eastern and Middle Africa, but mortality rates are relatively constant, resulting in a wide variance in case mortality, ranging from 25% in developed regions to 37% in developing regions, and with 62% of deaths occurring in developing countries.
The impact of income-generation interventions on women's nutrition has not been sufficiently evaluated. Income-generating interventions were associated with increases in women's income, empowerment, and household decision-making (161, 164–166). However, these gains were often at the expense of more work for women (5). Income-generation interventions have been associated with increased food-related expenditures, improved household food security, and greater household dietary diversity (160, 161, 165–168). Income-generating interventions targeting adolescents improved their social status; however, these showed no impact on their access to food, nor on individual and household food security (169). There was also limited evidence of impacts of income-generating interventions on women's anthropometric and biochemical nutrition outcomes (5, 169, 170). Increased income was associated with reductions in maternal underweight and anemia, but the reductions were modest (171). Studies suggested that the limited impact was related to continued poor access to health services (167), poor measurement, and the need for longer evaluation periods (164, 165, 167, 169).
There are many well-documented challenges in disentangling empowerment interventions from other interventions with which they are delivered. Empowerment interventions are often integrated into income-generating activities and agricultural extension, and many empowerment approaches are retroactively classified as “nutrition-sensitive” despite a lack of nutrition components in the original intervention designs (5). In addition, many studies are limited in scope and their evaluation of nutrition outcomes (159), and it is difficult to evaluate which dimensions of women's empowerment matter most for nutrition (162). Notably, indicators to quantify women's empowerment are also not used consistently and vary widely between individual studies (158).

Complementing income-generating interventions with interventions that more directly target women's nutrition has potential to have greater impacts on women's nutritional status (171). Integrated interventions were associated with improvements in health knowledge and behaviors, as well as increased intake of nutrient-rich foods (5, 164, 169, 170, 172). In Bangladesh and Cambodia, the aforementioned EHFP program was associated with increased income, decision-making power in the household, food expenditure (including on oils, salts, spices, fish, rice, and meat), and consumption of fruits and vegetables from home gardens (160, 173). There was also limited, but mixed, evidence of income-generating interventions and behavior change communication causing improvements in maternal anemia and BMI (164, 168, 170).
WASH interventions were typically community-based. WASH interventions were delivered to households and communities through community mobilization, mass media, home visits, and infrastructural development (126, 130, 136–138). There were some examples of facility-based delivery of WASH interventions, such as in health clinics and schools (139, 140); however, this was not representative of the majority of delivery platform coverage. Health clinic delivery platforms had limited reach, often targeting pregnant women and women with young children. In an evaluation of WASH interventions delivered in India (141), more demanding behavioral practices, such as handwashing and consistent use of latrines, required more intense contact (e.g., multiple home visits) than less intense interventions, such as sweeping of courtyards, that could be effectively delivered in small group meetings such as those in health clinics and community centers. More research is needed to evaluate the benefits and barriers of different delivery platforms for women across the life course.
Our women’s fitness programs are designed for women from the ground up. We teach from the female anatomy and physiology, the feminine psyche and include all the subtle bodies – the emotional, mental and spiritual that have an impact on the physical. We understand the different needs of the woman as she exercises through pregnancy, postnatal, menopause and the later years of her life and how these changes affect her women’s fitness needs and goals.
If you do decide to diet, you still need to maintain good nutrition. You want to cut back on calories, not nutrients. And while you want to reduce fat, don't eliminate it entirely. Some studies suggest that older women who maintain a higher body-fat percentage are less likely to suffer from osteoporosis and other conditions associated with menopause. Fat cells also retain estrogen, which helps maintain the calcium in your bones. Younger women should be careful, too: a low body fat percentage can lead to infertility; below 17 percent may lead to missed periods, also known as amenorrhea.

According to the American Heart Association, it's better to eat more complex carbohydrates (vegetables, fruits and whole grains) than simple carbohydrates found in sugars. Complex carbohydrates add more fiber, vitamins and minerals to the diet than foods high in refined sugars and flour. Foods high in complex carbohydrates are usually low in calories, saturated fat and cholesterol.
A 55-year-old woman who gets less than 30 minutes of daily physical activity should eat five ounces of grains; two cups of vegetables; one and a half cups of fruit; three cups of milk; five ounces of meat and beans; five teaspoons of oils, and no more than 130 calories of additional fat and sugar. If she got 30 to 60 minutes of daily exercise, she could increase her intake to six ounces of grains; two and a half cups of vegetables; and up to 265 additional calories of fat and sugar.
UN Women believe that violence against women "is rooted in gender-based discrimination and social norms and gender stereotypes that perpetuate such violence", and advocate moving from supporting victims to prevention, through addressing root and structural causes. They recommend programmes that start early in life and are directed towards both genders to promote respect and equality, an area often overlooked in public policy. This strategy, which involves broad educational and cultural change, also involves implementing the recommendations of the 57th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (2013). To that end the 2014 UN International Day of the Girl Child was dedicated to ending the cycle of violence. In 2016, the World Health Assembly also adopted a plan of action to combat violence against women, globally.
Equally challenging for women are the physiological and emotional changes associated with the cessation of menses (menopause or climacteric). While typically occurring gradually towards the end of the fifth decade in life marked by irregular bleeding the cessation of ovulation and menstruation is accompanied by marked changes in hormonal activity, both by the ovary itself (oestrogen and progesterone) and the pituitary gland (follicle stimulating hormone or FSH and luteinizing hormone or LH). These hormonal changes may be associated with both systemic sensations such as hot flashes and local changes to the reproductive tract such as reduced vaginal secretions and lubrication. While menopause may bring relief from symptoms of menstruation and fear of pregnancy it may also be accompanied by emotional and psychological changes associated with the symbolism of the loss of fertility and a reminder of aging and possible loss of desirability. While menopause generally occurs naturally as a physiological process it may occur earlier (premature menopause) as a result of disease or from medical or surgical intervention. When menopause occurs prematurely the adverse consequences may be more severe.
Women and men have approximately equal risk of dying from cancer, which accounts for about a quarter of all deaths, and is the second leading cause of death. However the relative incidence of different cancers varies between women and men. In the United States the three commonest types of cancer of women in 2012 were lung, breast and colorectal cancers. In addition other important cancers in women, in order of importance, are ovarian, uterine (including endometrial and cervical cancers (Gronowski and Schindler, Table III). Similar figures were reported in 2016. While cancer death rates rose rapidly during the twentieth century, the increase was less and later in women due to differences in smoking rates. More recently cancer death rates have started to decline as the use of tobacco becomes less common. Between 1991 and 2012, the death rate in women declined by 19% (less than in men). In the early twentieth century death from uterine (uterine body and cervix) cancers was the leading cause of cancer death in women, who had a higher cancer mortality than men. From the 1930s onwards, uterine cancer deaths declined, primarily due to lower death rates from cervical cancer following the availability of the Papanicolaou (Pap) screening test. This resulted in an overall reduction of cancer deaths in women between the 1940s and 1970s, when rising rates of lung cancer led to an overall increase. By the 1950s the decline in uterine cancer left breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer death till it was overtaken by lung cancer in the 1980s. All three cancers (lung, breast, uterus) are now declining in cancer death rates (Siegel et al. Figure 8), but more women die from lung cancer every year than from breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers combined. Overall about 20% of people found to have lung cancer are never smokers, yet amongst nonsmoking women the risk of developing lung cancer is three times greater than amongst men who never smoked.
Ovulation problems are often caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a hormone imbalance problem which can interfere with normal ovulation. PCOS is the most common cause of female infertility. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is another cause of ovulation problems. POI occurs when a woman's ovaries stop working normally before she is 40. POI is not the same as early menopause.
I tried out a couple classes with my class pass. I really love the Tabata class with Quincy. It's such a good work out! An intense 30 minute work out that will leave you feeling the good kind of sore the next morning. It was challenging but fun. Quincy is super helpful and she keeps the motivation high for her class. She takes the time to make sure everyone is doing the workouts in correct form. She's actually the reason why I'm writing this review. Although I've only taken her a class a couple times, she deserves recognition!
Changes in the way research ethics was visualised in the wake of the Nuremberg Trials (1946), led to an atmosphere of protectionism of groups deemed to be vulnerable that was often legislated or regulated. This resulted in the relative underrepresentation of women in clinical trials. The position of women in research was further compromised in 1977, when in response to the tragedies resulting from thalidomide and diethylstilbestrol (DES), the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prohibited women of child-bearing years from participation in early stage clinical trials. In practice this ban was often applied very widely to exclude all women. Women, at least those in the child-bearing years, were also deemed unsuitable research subjects due to their fluctuating hormonal levels during the menstrual cycle. However, research has demonstrated significant biological differences between the sexes in rates of susceptibility, symptoms and response to treatment in many major areas of health, including heart disease and some cancers. These exclusions pose a threat to the application of evidence-based medicine to women, and compromise to care offered to both women and men.

Calories. Most times, women need fewer calories. That’s because women naturally have less muscle, more body fat, and are usually smaller. On average, adult women need between 1,600 and 2,400 calories a day. Women who are more physically active may need more calories. Find out how many calories you need each day, based on your age, height, weight, and activity level.
For healthy bones and teeth, women need to eat a variety of calcium-rich foods every day. Calcium keeps bones strong and helps to reduce the risk for osteoporosis, a bone disease in which the bones become weak and break easily. Some calcium-rich foods include low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt and cheese, sardines, tofu (if made with calcium sulfate) and calcium-fortified foods including juices and cereals. Adequate amounts of vitamin D also are important, and the need for both calcium and vitamin D increases as women get older. Good sources of vitamin D include fatty fish, such as salmon, eggs and fortified foods and beverages, such as some yogurts and juices.
It’s the fourth week in January, the time when many new year’s resolutions are faltering, if they haven’t fallen away altogether. If the diet/exercise/fitness menu was on your list for 2018, you’re not alone, as many people try to eat less in the beginning of the year to help combat their excesses from Halloween candy, Thanksgiving dinner, and end-of-year sweets.
Getting enough water also is important. Many experts recommend at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily—more if you exercise frequently or are exposed to extremes of heat and cold. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans emphasize drinking more water and other calorie-free beverages, along with fat-free or low-fat milk and 100 percent fruit juices, instead of calorie-packed regular sodas.

HELL OR HIGH WATER, directed by David Mackenzie, is a story about the collision of the Old and New West; two brothers -- Toby (Chris Pine), a straight-living, divorced father trying to make a better life for his sons; and Tanner (Ben Foster), a short-tempered ex-con with a loose trigger finger -- come together to rob branch after branch of the bank that is foreclosing on their family land. The hold-ups are part of a last-ditch scheme to take back a future that powerful forces beyond their control have stolen from under their feet. Vengeance seems to be theirs until they find themselves in the crosshairs of a relentless, foul-mouthed Texas Ranger (Jeff Bridges) looking for one last triumph on the eve of his retirement. As the brothers plot a final bank heist to complete their plan, a showdown looms at the crossroads where the last honest law man and a pair of brothers with nothing to live for except family, collide.
Featuring a cast that also includes Gil Birmingham, Dale Dickey and Margaret Bowman, the film features an original screenplay by Taylor Sheridan, and is produced by Sidney Kimmel, Peter Berg, Carla Hacken and Julie Yorn. The original score is composed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. The crafts team on the film includes director of photography Giles Nuttgens, BSC; production designer Tom Duffield and set decorator Wilhelm Pfau; film editor Jake Roberts; supervising sound editor Frank Gaeta; sound mixers Andrejs Prokopenko, Frank Gaeta, Chris David and Jason Gaya and visual effects by Daniel Holt, Michael Prawitz, Scott Hastings and Jeremy Cox. Costumes were designed by Malgosia Turzansk with make-up by Karla Muenze and hair by Mary Lampert.

In little over a year’s time, sub-Saharan Africa’s maps may require some edits. As part of a 2005 peace deal that ended a 22 year civil war, itself following an earlier civil war from 1955 – 1972, the region of Southern Sudan is due to hold a referendum on independence early in 2011. Southern Sudan may be a new entrant in the community of nations as early as July 2011, following the end of the latest peace agreement’s interim period. If, as is the aspiration of many, independence does occur, Southern Sudan’s ongoing process of state formation will remain challenging; the 10 states of Southern Sudan, collectively the size of Afghanistan, represent a region containing one of the greatest vacuums of state governance on the planet. Even the most basic role of the state, a monopoly of control over the machinery of violence, remains a struggle for the nascent Government of Southern Sudan. In a land in many areas bereft of a viable state presence, individuals and communities take responsibility for their own security, often in a zero sum game that results in insecurity for others, in what the Small Arms Survey describes as “a deeply militarized society that sanctions the use, or the threat, of force.”
Sudan’s peace agreement contains unique provisions. Two national armies, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) of northern Sudan, and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) of Southern Sudan, are retained as separate and legally permitted forces, in addition to a special joint force of SAF and SPLA known as the Joint Integrated Units. The semi-autonomous government in the south has wide ranging powers, with a regional presidency independently commanding the SPLA.
National elections in April saw both incumbents—national president Omar al-Bashir, and President of Southern Sudan Salva Kiir Mayardit—re-elected. In his inauguration speech, Kiir noted this challenge to his administration and to the stability of Southern Sudan:
“The prevalence of arms in the hands of unauthorized persons poses an imminent threat to peace. In this regard, the SPLA has collected to date some 22,838 various arms including RPGs [rocket propelled grenades], PKMs [Kalashnikov machine guns] and rifles. I shall see to it that the SPLA continue with those efforts until the whole of Southern Sudan is free of illegal weapons.”
Yet since disarmament efforts in Southern Sudan began several years ago, the process has itself proved deeply difficult to execute and controversial as a policy. Conservative estimates suggest that as many as 700,000 small arms are held by Southern Sudanese civilians alone. In such a context, piecemeal disarmament may in fact create more difficulties than it solves—privileging one community or ethnic group over another, marginalizing local authorities, and stoking further resentment in an already impoverished populace. Is the proliferation and availability of small arms the cause itself of insecurity or merely the means to provide security and opportunity for people with little of either?

A Temecula father, his teen daughter and her friend have pleaded guilty in connection with the vigilante beating of a man the girl had accused of raping her.
The father, David Ray Mills, 36, pleaded guilty Tuesday, Dec. 4, to being an accessory to the Jan. 13 attack at a Temecula park in which ____ ____ ____, 20, was beaten with a baseball bat. Mills was sentenced to four years’ probation and time served.
Mills’ 16-year-old daughter, who was charged as an adult, pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to time served and four years’ probation. The Press-Enterprise does not routinely identify victims of sexual crimes. Full Article
I object to the young woman who attacked the man with a baseball bat being identified as a “victim of sexual abuse.” The article plainly states that there has been an accusation made. Not a conviction. This irresponsible, yellow journalism is unconscionable. It certainly implies that the man who was beaten is a sex offender and deserved what he got! “Innocent until proven guilty” no longer exists in this country.
The sentences are a total farce. These criminals should have been at the very least charged with mayhem along with the attempted murder. I agree with the comment that basically says this girl/criminal is the one that placed herself in a position to be harmed. And what is a teenager doing getting totally wasted on vodka anyway? To me this indicates a teenager plagued with some grave emotional problems and a father with some sub-standard parenting skills. These are some creepy people; (I’m also referring to the prosecutor and judge)

The State of Florida is diverting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to fund a foreclosure system that is succeeding primarily in returning homes in foreclosure back to the banks. The pressure from Tallahassee to “Clear the Foreclosure Backlog” is turning Foreclosure courtrooms into gladiator pits of chaos, confusion and recklessness that diminishes the dignity of the entire judicial system.
Not nearly enough people are asking the question.
Why has the state of Florida decided that clearing the foreclosure backlog (as opposed to keeping families in homes) is the priority of the court system?
Having spent many years traveling to Tallahassee and trying to address the insistence of the legislature that foreclosure laws must change, I still have heard no good answer to that question. Over and over I hear policy makers say, “real estate is the key to Florida’s economy”. Real estate certainly is and if the homes in foreclosure were making their way into the hands of private parties, to local realtors, to local property investors and ultimately to local families….I could understand why policy makers think “Clearing the Foreclosure Backlog!” is a proper public policy mandate.
But the general public and policymakers first need to understand that their perception of what the end result of a foreclosure case is is not reality. Most people think that at the end of a foreclosure the “bad” family is forced to move out so that some new and deserving family moves in, starts taking care of the yard and putting up a new white picket fence. The data here in Pinellas County shows this is not at all the case.
Look at the total numbers for foreclosure Auctions so far in Pinellas County, 2014:
Click on this link and work through the spreadsheet. The data tells the most important story in foreclosures that is not being told.
The next data set is even more compelling. The State of Florida is in fact diverting hundreds of millions of dollars away from productive and constructive uses like schools and health care to fund the 2014 foreclosure purge which (see data above) does nothing but reward “The Banks” with more foreclosures. Take a look at this
Total Number of Foreclosure Auctions Scheduled Pinellas County First Half 2014: 3359
Think about that number. We could find the budget figure and determine exactly how many millions of taxpayer dollars were spent on foreclosure courts and see just how much each auction “cost” taxpayers. And when you consider that the vast majority of auctions result in properties being returned to banks, you see that this taxpayer money we’re spending is being spent to return assets back to “The Banks”. Hardly an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars in my estimation.
In Pinellas county there were 14,057 foreclosure cases opened in 2012 and 6,712 case “re-opened” So a “closed” foreclosure case is hardly the end of the story. Back to that question…how many millions of taxpayer dollars are we spending to fund a court system that closes foreclosure cases for the banks…and then just reopens a vast number of them?
And then this data set. In 2013, there were 4,437 foreclosure cases dismissed, 5,142 cases disposed by judge for a total number of foreclosure cases “disposed” of 9,632. Two questions. Divide court expenditures by teh number “disposed” to determine how much each “disposal” cost taxpayers. But the bigger and more troubling question…..how many of those 9,632 “disposed” will not actually be sold, but will be either returned to “The Banks” or the case re-opened?
That’s the bigger public policy question…the question no one is talking about.
Florida’s court system receives less than 1% of the state’s total budget. But the recession that gripped the United States still forced significant cuts in court budgets and staff positions – even as Florida’s citizens and businesses turned to the courts in greater numbers.
The judicial branch is the last, the only check that citizens have against the gross and out of control abuses we see all around us. How can we ever expect to have any real justice when we do not have a properly funded judicial system?

TRIBUTES are being paid to celebrated Liverpool naval son Ray Hedgecock MBE, who died this month aged 87.
Ray’s name was revered within the Royal Navy Submarine Service and his death is a tragic loss to them.
Ray, who lived on Park Street in Bootle, was part of a group of veteran submariners who formed the Merseyside branch of the then Submarine Old Comrades Association 52 years ago.
He would go on to be secretary and treasurer for 33 years.
Influential throughout his time, Ray was credited as founder of the annual service of remembrance for the HM/Submarine Thetis and the 99 on board who lost their lives in 1939 in Liverpool Bay.
The service is held annually in Holyhead, Anglesey, close to Moelfre Bay where the Thetis was eventually salvaged.
Peter Dickinson, a friend and fellow submarine veteran, said: “We want to celebrate the life of a good man and submariner who I am honoured to have called a friend. He was a selfless and giving human being who gave his all for the two loves of his life – the Submarine Service and that special band of brothers, its submariners.”
In 1976 when Liverpool became the focal point of the Submarine Service 75th anniversary, Ray was the ‘mastermind’ behind the large scale planning involved when numerous warships and submarines from the world’s navies visited Liverpool.
His vast efforts, including commendable charity work, and service to the Royal Navy and Submariners Association were rewarded when he was honoured by the Queen with an MBE.
The title was bestowed upon him by the Prince of Wales – an honour of which he was immensely proud.
Rear Admiral Tony Whetstone CB said: “Ray was a true friend, a brave man and a fine Christian gentleman. Our life will be poorer for his passing.”
Mr Dickinson added: “Ray may be gone but his indomitable spirit will live on as a legend and inspiration within the Submariners Association, and more especially within the city of Liverpool and its Merseyside branch for many years to come.
“May you have fair winds and following seas on your final patrol to the Promised Land.”
