What is Mental Health First Aid
When it comes to health, our physical health is the one that we are most concerned about. Mental health is often neglected. There is a lot of information about physical illnesses and treatments but much less awareness about the signs, symptoms and treatments of mental health problems.
Even when we know someone is experiencing mental health problems, we may not know what to say or do to help, let alone know what is mental health first aid? or how to provide them with that.
Mental health first aid has the acronym “ALGEE“, which stands for
- Assess risk;
- Listen non-judgmentally;
- Give reassurance and information;
- Encourage appropriate professional help and,
- Encourage self-help and other support strategies.
These five steps can be followed to provide someone with MHFA. Let’s start with a simple definition of mental first aid.

What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental health means having a positive sense of well-being and coping with life’s challenges. Mental health is essential throughout life, from childhood to adulthood.
This is especially true when dealing with stress and making good choices. Mental health problems are now widespread among people in the UK. According to research, about one in four people will experience it every year.
Just as CPR is a way to help people with a heart attack, mental health first aid is a way to help someone experiencing a mental health crisis.
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a way to make it easier for people to discuss mental health and substance use problems. It teaches people how to identify signs of mental illness and panic attacks and take steps to address them.
You can provide someone with mental health first aid until they receive professional help or the problem resolves.
Youth Mental Health First Aid
Young people are our future. If their mind is not healthy, they won’t be able to contribute to the making of a better world. That is where youth mental health first aid comes in. It is about recognising the signs of mental health problems in young people and providing support.
If young people can talk to mental health first aiders about their problems, it can help speed up their recovery and stop the problem from worsening.
MHFA at Work Place
When you are not mentally at ease, your productivity suffers. Mental health first aid in the workplace can be incredibly beneficial for both employers and employees by providing a safe space for open dialogue.

Employers can introduce mental health first aiders into the workplace, allowing them to support and guide their colleagues.
These mental health first aiders can offer non-judgemental and confidential support to their colleagues, helping to break down the stigma and taboo around mental health issues.
Steps of Mental Health First Aid
The action plan for mental health first aid (ALGEE) is a step-by-step plan that provides guidance on how to support someone experiencing a mental health issue.
There are five steps in the MHFA Action Plan that can be used in any sequence.
A – Approach, assess for risk of suicide or harm
Finding the correct time and place to start a conversation with the sufferer is essential to respect their privacy and confidentiality. If someone does not want to tell you something, you can persuade them to discuss it with someone else.
L – Listen non-judgmentally
Some people want to talk about their challenges or distress first, so please let them do so without interruption. You must be empathic while listening. You can start the conversation by saying, “I noticed that …” Try to be accepting, even though you disagree with what they say.
G – Give reassurance and information
Be ready to offer hope and authentic information when someone tells you their story. Reassure them that there are people who will listen and understand, as well as provide resources and support. Even if you don’t agree with their views, try to remain accepting and offer understanding.
E – Encourage appropriate professional help
Early intervention is vital to helping a person recover from a mental illness. Therefore, it’s essential to be willing to help this person learn more about the different options available to them.
E – Encourage self-help and other support strategies
This will help them find out what resources are available in their community to support them, as well as create a personal plan to take care of them emotionally and physically.
Know What’s Not Helpful
Sometimes, our best intentions can backfire. When you are thinking about talking to someone who might have a mental health issue, it is vital to keep in mind that you are not saying or doing anything that could make the person feel uncomfortable or scared.
Try to avoid the following;
- Saying to ‘snap out of it’ or ‘get over it’.
- Being sarcastic.
- Repeating the same thing over and over
- Trivialising their experience (for example, don’t tell them to get their act together)
- Belittling or dismissing their feelings
- Being patronising
- Trying to cure them
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Mental illness can strike at any time and can affect anyone. However, providing the sufferers with professional help is impossible every time, which is why we need extra help, which mental health first aiders can offer.
Since mental health is no joke or an easy nut to crack, it is important to learn the techniques of becoming good mental health first aider by taking mental health first aid training. This can be achieved easily and quickly by taking our mental health first aid course, which you can complete at your own pace.
Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ]
Is mental illness genetic?
Ans: Mental disorders are often passed down from family members, and if you have a close relative with a mental disorder, this can make you more likely to develop one yourself. However, just because a member of your family is mentally ill does not mean you will be as well.
Can medication cause mental illness?
Ans: Yes, as side effects, drugs can trigger mental illness. It can be temporary or long-term. That is why medicine should only be taken when it is prescribed.
How long does an MFH Aider certificate last?
Ans: After receiving it, it is valid for 3 years. Just like first aid, you will have to take refresher training every three years.
Is mental illness curable?
Ans: There is no cure for mental illness, but treatments can help. People with mental illnesses can improve their symptoms and lead full and healthy lives.
Can pregnancy cause mental health issues?
Ans: During pregnancy, your body, your social circle, and your emotions all change a lot. Sometimes this can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
Does autism fall under mental health issues?
Ans: No, autism is not a mental health issue. It is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication, and behavioural challenges.
Can an infant be depressed?
Ans: Babies don’t have a lot of experience in their lives, but that doesn’t mean they can’t experience depression. Some mental health professionals believe that babies can become depressed based on what they know from case studies and clinical experience.

A new health product brand called ‘Purity’ is set to hit the Indian market soon, a government official said on Wednesday, a move likely to boost PM Modi and his administration’s reputation as a leading health brand in the world.
“We will launch the product on July 31.
We are in discussions with a number of partners and are preparing to launch the new product,” said Nirmala Sitharaman, director-general of the National Health Insurance Corporation (NHAIC), which runs India’s health insurance scheme.
The new product is expected to be a mix of the government’s PDS and PPS products.
“We have identified a few partners who have been interested in this initiative and we will launch it in the coming days,” Sitharama said, adding that the company has already submitted a proposal for the approval of the new products.
The PM and NHAIC are part of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.
Modi is one of its most popular politicians, and his brand of health products has been a cornerstone of the country’s health system.
In 2016, India saw a spike in infections among women aged over 40 due to a rise in the number of PDS products, especially in the Northeast and parts of the Western Ghats region.
PM Modi, who has championed the need for health, has sought to boost the number and quality of PPS-based products as well.

Energy Control Systems introduces a system which is a good balance between cost and the green power/power independence. The system can charge the battery bank from grid power when available and switch to solar power when grid is not available. This arrangement ensures that one can have a bigger better battery bank without establishing a very big and expensive solar array. This arrangement is also particularly important where there is limited space for the panel.
- Low frequency true sine wave high efficiency inverter.
- Large capacity solar and grid chargers incorporated with the inverter, 40 to 80 amps chargers ensure charging battery banks of 600 amp/hr and bigger providing real power and back up where required.
- Five stage programmable chargers with adequate safety features ensure long battery life for all battery types.
- Full UPS mode operation possible.
- Full solar mode with integrated solar charger during day time.

DOESN’T this program kinda remind you of how the gestapo might have been started?
https://www.bizpacreview.com May 20, 2013 by Joe Saunders
Gov. Rick Scott on Monday vetoed almost $368 million in state spending before signing the budget for next year, including $1 million for a violence prevention and mental health initiative sought by thePalm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw.
Bradshaw’s program would have established a hotline for residents to call when they suspected an individual might be planning a violent act.
If a call were deemed cause for concern, that person might be visited by deputies trained to deal with mental health issues.
In interviews, he cited such incidents as the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and a movie theater in Auroroa, Colo., as instances where a watchful eye and trained help might have prevented tragedy. But the proposal drew fire from conservatives when a widespread quote from a Palm Beach Post story fueled fears of government taking action against people because of how they think, not how they’ve acted. “We want people to call us if the guy down the street says he hates the government, hates the mayor and he’s gonna shoot him,” Bradshaw said in the article. “What does it hurt to have somebody knock on a door and ask, ‘Hey, is everything OK?’”
Scott also turned down a 3 percent tuition increase for state college and university students.
5 months ago, on May 31, 2011, Florida’s Republican Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill into law which requires welfare applicants to undergo drug testing.
A 58-year-old Navy vet and business executive before he entered politics in 2010, Gov. Scott said, “While there are certainly legitimate needs for public assistance, it is unfair for Florida taxpayers to subsidize drug addiction. This new law will encourage personal accountability and will help to prevent the misuse of tax dollars.” Scott said the drug testing will save Florida $77 million.
Fast forward to October 24, 2011.
The Associated Press reports that a federal judge temporarily blocked Florida’s new law that requires welfare applicants to pass a drug test before receiving benefits, saying it may violate the Constitution’s ban on unreasonable searches and seizures.
Judge Mary Scriven ruled in response to a lawsuit filed on behalf of Luis Lebron, a 35-year-old Navy veteran and single father who sought the benefits while finishing his college degree, but refused to take the test.
The drug test can reveal a host of private medical facts about the individual, Scriven wrote, adding that she found it “troubling” that the drug tests are not kept confidential like medical records. The results can also be shared with law enforcement officers and a drug abuse hotline.
Scriven’s injunction will stay in place until she can hold a full hearing on the matter on some as-yet unscheduled date.
More than two-dozen states have also proposed drug-testing recipients of welfare or other government assistance, but Florida was the first state to enact such a law in more than a decade.Should any of those states pass a law and face a court challenge, Scriven’s ultimate ruling would likely serve as a legal precedent.
Jackie Schutz, a spokeswoman for Governor Scott, said, ““Drug testing welfare recipients is just a common-sense way to ensure that welfare dollars are used to help children and get parents back to work. The governor obviously disagrees with the decision and he will evaluate his options regarding when to appeal.”
Earlier this year, Scott also ordered drug testing of new state workers and spot checks of existing state employees under him. But testing was suspended after the American Civil Liberties Union also challenged that policy in a separate lawsuit.
Nearly 1,600 applicants have refused to take the test since testing began in mid-July, but they aren’t required to say why. Thirty-two applicants failed the test and more than 7,000 have passed, according to the Department of Children and Families. The majority of positives were for marijuana.
Under the Temporary Assistance For Needy Families program, the state gives $180 a month for one person or $364 for a family of four. Those who test positive for drugs are ineligible for the cash assistance for one year, though passing a drug course can cut that period in half. If they fail a second time, they are ineligible for three years.
The ACLU says Florida was the first to enact such a law since Michigan tried more than a decade ago. Michigan’s random drug testing program for welfare recipients lasted five weeks in 1999 before it was halted by a judge, kicking off a four-year legal battle that ended with an appeals court ruling it unconstitutional.
Hooray for the state government in Florida!
Yesterday, May 31, 2011, Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill into law which will require welfare applicants to undergo drug testing. CBSMiami.com reportsthat Florida Republicans said the measure was needed because if taxpayers are screened at their place of employment, so should welfare recipients.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott
The welfare drug testing bill was a priority for Republican Gov. Rick Scott, a 58-year-old Navy vet and business executive before he entered politics in 2010. He said, “While there are certainly legitimate needs for public assistance, it is unfair for Florida taxpayers to subsidize drug addiction. This new law will encourage personal accountability and will help to prevent the misuse of tax dollars.”
The bill also requires that those who apply for welfare must pay for the drug testing out of their own pockets. However, the cost would be reimbursed if the person passes the drug test. Challenges to the bill are sure to be launched. A similar law requiring random drug testing of Welfare recipients was passed in Michigan in 1999, only to be stopped by an activist judge a mere 5 weeks later. An appeals court ruled it unconstitutional after a four-year legal battle.

Rotary District 7030 Governor Waddy Sowma interacting with Kalon Newton and DeJuwan Forde-Davis, reception students of Arthur Smith Primary School, during a visit to view work carried out by the Rotary Club of Barbados South.
Rotary South reaches out to Arthur Smith Primary School
Reception classrooms at Arthur Smith Primary School are now freshly tiled thanks to The Rotary Club of Barbados South.
Focused on the health of the children, Club President Hiranand Thani initiated the project during the summer holiday, finishing just in time for the start of the 2017/2018 academic year.
“When I was shown this school, I realised this project was really a very special one. The classrooms for the children ages four to five were really in a bad state. Seeing the environment of the classrooms when the children ran around, I said that it is going to result in health issues for them inhaling the dust...We tiled the entire floor and the materials were donated by Marshall Trading who joined us on the project,” he stated.
Thani was speaking to members of the media yesterday after touring the classrooms, alongside visiting Rotary District 7030 Governor, Waddy Sowma.
Sowma commended the work of Rotary South noting that it fits perfectly with this year’s theme “Rotary: Making a Difference”.
“I am sure that this project as you see with the difference with the floors, makes a difference in the lives of the children,” he expressed.
“Also, this year for the District especially the focus is on education, so you can imagine having a project within a school... In fact, developing better circumstances for education is something dear to my heart.”
Principal Jennifer Hoyte took the opportunity to not only thank Rotary for their contribution, but the timeliness in which it was done.
“It was quite pleasant for the teachers and students to come into such spanking surrounding for the new term. I want to say thank you to the Rotary Club of Barbados South for their efforts in helping us to make the environment of our children a more friendly one, and one which would be better for their learning in the classroom,” she said.

Now available for the first time in English, Lossberg's memoir explains how he developed, tested, and implemented his central principles flexibility, decentralized control, and counterattack which were based on a need to adapt to shifting conditions on the battlefield. Lossberg first put his theory of elastic defense combined with defense-in-depth into practice during the Battle of Arras (AprilMay 1917), where it succeeded. At the Battle of Passchendaele (JuneNovember 1917), his achievements on the field proved the feasibility of his strategy of employing a thinly manned front line that minimized the number of soldiers exposed to artillery fire. Lossberg's tactical modernizations have become essential components of army doctrine, and Lossberg's War: The World War I Memoirs of A German Chief of Staff will take readers inside the mind of one of the most significant military innovators of the twentieth century.
About the Author
What People are Saying About This
"This memoir is arguably the best of its genre: objectively presented, seeking explanations as opposed to assigning blame, eschewing the backbiting and recriminations that increasingly permeated the German high command as defeat loomed ever larger." Michael Neiberg, author of Dance of the Furies: Europe and the Outbreak of World War I
"David Zabecki brings a lifetime of real military experience as well as deep understandings of Germany, command, staff work, and World War I, among other topics. He has worked in the archives at Freiburg more often than probably any other non-German and can therefore place Lossberg in the widest historical context." Dennis Showalter, author of Instrument of War: The German Army 191418

February 22, 2014 Councilmember Jose Huizar Council District 14 Planning Land Use and Management Committee City Council, City of Los Angeles Re: Resolution 13-1152, Parks & Huizar Resolution 13-1152, S1, Bonin & Koretz Dear Councilman Huizar, Whereas unconventional well stimulation, including but not limited to hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” and acidization has become an important and timely environmental and community issue for the City of Los Angeles and other communities served by the Angeles Chapter, we are concerned about the effects of fracking on air and water quality, community infrastructure, human health and safety, wildlife, geology/seismicity, and energy/climate change. This is especially true in a dense urban environment where residents live in close proximity to oil fields and where water conservation is critically important; Whereas the St. James Oil Company took responsibility for a 2006 blowout in downtown LA resulting in evacuation of over 100 individuals and extensive damage to city streets, businesses and utilities, and disruption of communities and businesses; Whereas Freeport McMoRan (formerly PXP) took responsibility for the 2010 blowout of an abandoned oil well resulting in spills of oil-contaminated water into a Culver City park; Whereas AllenCo’s Oil and Gas operations at the Good Shepherd Production Facility led to their closure and numerous violations and disruption of the surrounding community; Whereas Freeport McMoRan plead guilty to 17 counts of violating State water pollution laws in the 2010 Montebello Hills oil spill which contaminated the Rio Hondo River; Whereas it is the policy of the National Sierra Club and Sierra Club California that there be a moratorium on fracking activities and all other unconventional stimulation methods until these can be performed without risk to public health and safety, environmental quality and natural resources; Therefore, the Sierra Club Angeles Chapter’s Fracking Oil & Gas Committee supports the two proposed resolutions especially if combined to provide an immediate moratorium on and suspension of all oil and gas permits and revisions of conditional use permits pertinent to hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” and acidization within the City of Los Angeles until the municipal code sections pertinent to oil and gas are thoroughly revised and updated to protect the health and ensure the safety of the residents of the City of Los Angeles.

While the rising cost of living continues to burden Australians’ wallets, research has emerged revealing smart shoppers are turning to one of the most obvious places to stretch their budget further: the supermarket.
While groceries are a non-negotiable line item on the household budget, a survey conducted by Canstar Blue has revealed shoppers are finding savvy ways to make their money go further at the supermarket offering a ray of hope as Australians navigate the tough economic landscape.
While Canstar Blue’s editor-in-chief Christine Seib highlighted that “in previous years convenience was the main factor driving where people would shop”, their annual survey of 3000 shoppers found that 36 percent of people now spread out their weekly shop between different supermarkets in order to save some much-needed cash.
“Thirty-six per cent of people currently do that,” Seib told Nine News.
For added convenience, some savvy shoppers are choosing to head to shopping centers that host multiple supermarkets all in one place.
In addition to seeing what multiple outlets have to offer in the way of price, Seib suggests preparing a shopping list prior to your next supermarket to avoid buying “things you wouldn’t normally buy”.
Another effective strategy is to purchase own-brand products over the more costly name brands.
“The pricier branded products tend to be in the middle shelves right where your eyeline is while the cheaper own-brand products are usually on the bottom shelf,” Seib explains.
Opting for the generic brand has become a popular option for many Australians with recent research from Compare the Market finding that nearly three-quarters of Australians have chosen the generic option over the more popular name brands during their weekly shop in the past 12 months.
Compare the Market’s study found that the generic version of items such as pasta, cheese, teabags and bread came in at half the price of the popular name brands.
“A lot of people are feeling the pinch and are looking for more ways to claw back cash,” Compare the Market spokesperson Phillip Portman explained to 9News.
“If you are willing to make that switch, there are savings there.”
These clever savings techniques will no doubt be especially welcomed by older Australians after research from the Council on the Ageing (COTA) found that 60 per cent of seniors reported that the cost of living is placing strain on their budget. This is a significant jump from the 31 per cent who held similar concerns just two years ago.
COTA Chief Executive Patricia Sparrow said that “the report’s findings underscore the need for the Australian government to develop a national strategy for older people so policymakers take urgent steps to address the concerns of older Australians to ensure they are more secure and resilient in the future.”
While the federal government has taken steps to provide relief to cash strapped seniors there has been a call for more assistance.

I really like your content! I do have one comment, I feel like your mic records really loud, I'm sure I am way off as for as the technical lingo goes but basically I have to turn my volume down when I watch your vids.
Anyhow keep it up! love the content.
Another one I recommend getting is enter the gungeon. It’s a fast paced dungeon game but with guns and the 2D style it has makes it look awesome and fun it also has co-op. It’s either 15 or 14 bucks on the Nintendo Eshop.
Yo seriously, Severed is FUCKING FANTASTIC!!!! I swear to god, do not doubt it. The gameplay is fucking awesome and the way it gradually increases difficulty and teaches you new mechanics and continues to combine them all in combat as you progress is epic. Plus it's absolutely gorgeous
pixel games are trash. I just can't play stardew, the pixel graphics ruin it for me. After coming from Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons/Rune Factory, I just can't play a low budget indie ripoff. I don't get how people can just ignore the low budget graphics and all these flaws in indie games. I mean they're neat and all, but I prefer quality over quantity. I'll take 1 solid game over 10 mediocre indie games. I consider Stardew a mediocre games. I have never played a solid indie game; I don't think such a thing exists.
Planning on getting Stardew Valley, Shovel Knight and Golf Story to add to my Nintendo Switch game collection. I currently only have 3 games so these will be great fun to play once I finish them - and at a great price, too.
Okay guys, I just got my first job. It's part time. I just recently got a Switch, and I don't have enough money at the moment to be able to buy any big AAA games like Odyssey or Zelda right now. (I still have to be able to afford gas :/) So I'm going to have to buy a cheaper game. I'm trying to decide between Golf Story or Retro City Rampage. Which one gives me the best bang for my buck?
Some perhaps lesser-known and fairly cheap Switch EShop games I enjoy: Fe (weird alien 3d platformer), Earth Atlantis (submarine shmup), and now trying out Mulaka (3d adventure/platformer steeped in Native American mythology).
That fragments of midnight game isn’t great, but oddly, I kinda recommend it as a time-killer game, if you have no qualms with letting go of three bucks. I bought it to keep me occupied while updates, demos, and other games download, and for that purpose, it’s excellent. It’s something I can have a little fun with for a few minutes, and drop at a moments notice, without getting too invested. Sometimes you just... don’t have time for a masterpiece.
most of the 5 dollar switchgames have a free mobile counterpart that doesnt lack in quality.
i feel kinda dumb for buying one without knowing that i could play it for free.
when you see a 5 dollar game
open your app store first!

text: Murine colon 26 adenocarcinoma causes a progressive weight loss and physiological changes associated with cachexia when it grows to a certain size. By the use of this tumor model several types of cytostatics were examined for their ability to alleviate cachexia. Among them, 5′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine could reverse a progressive weight loss and improve hypoglycemia, hyperglucocorticism, and hepatic malfunctions, as well as inhibiting the tumor growth. Cyclophosphamide, nimustine, and 2′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine were only slightly effective in reversing the wasting, while 5-fluorouridine, tegafur, mitomycin C, cis-platinum, and doxorubicin were not active. Within 3 days after 5′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine was administered to cachectic mice with large tumor burdens, the wasting was immediately reversed even at doses in which there was increase or no significant reduction in tumor growth. These results indicate that the anticachectic activity of 5′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine is independent of its antiproliferative activity.

News Release| Veterans Affairs; Cal State L.A.
New Veterans Affairs Coordinator Laura Shigemitsu to address the needs of student military veterans at Cal State L.A. with compassion and vigor
University launches Office of Veterans Affairs to assist veterans, and students who actively serve
Los Angeles, CA – Though her path changed, Cal State L.A.’s new Veterans Affairs Coordinator Laura Shigemitsu has found a way to serve her country; by helping student veterans navigate the ever-changing GI Bill and assisting in their assimilation to college life so they may succeed and graduate.
Growing up in a military family, Shigemitsu, too, decided to enlist in the military, with an interest in the Navy. Tragically, at 17, while she was being courted by a Navy recruiter, she suffered a traumatic brain injury that derailed her dreams of service.
“I had to learn how to read, walk and speak all over again. And in the end, I was ineligible to serve, which killed me because I wanted to be part of the nuclear propulsion program,” she said. “I kept trying to get in, but ended up just being kicked out of recruiters’ offices in my early 20s because they now had access to my records. So for me, working with veterans in this way is the next best thing.”
Long since recovered from the brain injury, Shigemitsu believes the experience may provide her with unique insights when working with veterans attending CSULA who have suffered similar injuries. Fortunately, they are a very small percentage of the more than 800 “known” student veterans currently enrolled at the University.
“This is my calling. I found this great doctoral program in educational leadership. I’m doing my dissertation on female veteran persistence in college,” she said. “So this is how I’m serving. I wasn’t able to put on the uniform, but I now can do my best to help those who did.”
Before the Veterans Affairs Office was created, Shigemitsu worked in CSULA’s Office for Students with Disabilities in the TRIO program. Prior to CSULA, she volunteered for 10 years with the 100th/442 Veterans Association and the Go For Broke National Education Center, which preserves the stories of World War II (WWII) veterans. While there, she managed the Oral History Program, which conducted extensive interviews of WWII veterans, specifically Japanese Americans who served. She is also the current president of the WWII 100th/442 Veterans Association for Japanese American Veterans.
The Veterans Affairs Office at Cal State L.A.
The Veterans Affairs Office is responsible for ensuring student military veterans have access to a streamlined system of support. Besides helping veterans manage and receive their Montgomery GI Bill or Post-911 GI Bill benefits (which were recently overhauled), Shigemitsu and her team of work-study student veterans provides a variety of assistance to those on campus who have served.
The Veterans Affairs Office will also partner with the East Los Angeles Vet Center, which will offer free psychological counseling for students with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other issues. They will also focus on helping student vets adjust from active duty to civilian life and college.
“The great thing about the counseling the East L.A. Vet Center will provide is that it’s completely confidential. They don’t report it to the VA [Veterans Administration],” said Shigemitsu. “Women vets develop anxiety and depression at a higher rate than men, so we are going to be working with the East Los Angeles Vet Center and CSULA’s Health Center to find counselors who are specifically trained to work with them. We especially want to help women who have suffered sexual trauma in the military. Unfortunately, it is very common.”
She added, “Women veterans have a higher dropout rate than men, which is the opposite of non-veteran students,” said Shigemitsu. “Approximately two-thirds of female veterans have significant issues, and one-third of them drop out. “
Octavio Reyes, a psychology major and U.S. Marine veteran, who will be a work-study student in the Veterans Affairs Office this fall, knows from experience some of the stigmas that accompany being a military veteran. He has witnessed the uglier side of anti-war sentiment, and was actually spit on during one occasion. He understands why former soldiers looking to avoid negative experiences and interactions often hide their service, which makes it difficult for many campuses, including CSULA, to take an accurate count of student veterans.
“We face a lot of apathy when we get out. It’s not necessarily that people don’t care about what’s going on. There is just so much going on right now, such as the poor economy, that most people are looking out for number one. If the wars don’t affect them directly, they can often care less about veterans,” he said. “It’s tough. There’s a saying, ‘America is not at war. The American military is at war.’ So some veterans think, ‘If I can get by without people knowing what I did, then I will.’ It helps them avoid a lot of incidents where they’re asked to answer uncomfortable questions, or have to debate if what they did was right.”
CSULA’s VA Work-Study program, Golden Eagle Vets student organization President Keith Bandoske, and the Veterans Affairs Office will also work to build camaraderie among student veterans on campus by developing social groups and activities that will create bonds and develop peer-to-peer networking.
A long-term goal of the Veterans Affairs Office is to open a Veterans Resource Center. Shigemitsu and her team are trying to generate outside funding from organizations that could offer scholarships and grants.
“We would love to have a center that features computers and printing services, a lounge area, pretty much everything our students are going to need in one building,” she said. “That is our dream. In the mean time, we are looking for other grant and scholarship opportunities because some vets have already exhausted their GI Bills. We also want to support our students who have children, because having children and having to pay for childcare are other reasons student veterans drop out of college.”

Juvenile Center Under Construction
Photo By Erasmus Williams
Basseterre, St. Kitts – Nevis
March 20, 2009 (SKNIS)
Officials from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) toured the ongoing construction of the Juvenile Coed Rehabilitation Center of St. Kitts and Nevis on Thursday, and reports suggest that they were pleased with the progress.
Funding for construction was secured from the Caribbean Development Bank at an approximate cost of $5.2 million.
Project Coordinator Raphael Archibald told SKNIS that Mr. Stephen Sandiford and Dr. Martin Baptiste were grateful for the opportunity to review latest developments. The team was informed that the project remains on schedule in the construction of the juvenile center as well as training for the consultancy services.
As a policy, CDB representatives do not make public comments until a project is completed, and as such, none were issued after the visit. However, Mr. Archibald noted that the visitors were generally satisfied with developments.
The center is being built at Harris’ Village on a 3.1 acre lot. The facility is one component of Government’s Child Development Project (CDP) which seeks to improve the status of children at risk by supporting programmes of early detection and remediation of behavioural and learning difficulties as well as rehabilitative care for persons who have committed offenses.


Everything HR professionals need to know about the FLSA overtime exemption rule.The Department of Labor (DOL) filed a motion for an expedited briefing of its appeal of a federal judge’s decision to put the brakes on the federal overtime rule, but that shouldn’t affect what companies do.
A federal judge in Texas put the brakes on the DOL’s new federal overtime rule on Nov. 22. The rule would have doubled the Fair Labor Standard Act’s (FLSA’s) salary threshold for exemption from overtime pay.
The judge’s preliminary injunction effectively halts the implementation of the new rule, scheduled to take effect on Dec. 1, 2016. Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans plan for the House of Representatives to adjourn early for the year. So they can buy time until President-elect Donald Trump takes office to try to override the new overtime regulations.
- Federal Judge Halts Overtime Rule
- Overtime Rule Blocked: Now What?
- How to Proceed After Overtime Rule Freeze
- When Will There Be a Final Decision?
The U.S. Department of Labor published monumental changes to the overtime rule. These changes make approximately 4.2 million currently exempt employees eligible for overtime pay later this year.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime rule determines whether employees are eligible or exempt for overtime pay. Exempt employees, because of their rate of pay and type of work that they do, do not qualify for overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Nonexempt employees must be paid time and a half for any hours worked more than 40 in a workweek.
Before the Nov. 22 preliminary injunction, all employers had to comply with the changes made to the overtime regulations of the Fair Labor Standards Act by Dec. 1, 2016. That deadline is on hold while a federal judge reviews the case.

Growing your own fruits and vegetables is an easy thing to do if you use proper techniques. Being motivated to take care of your garden and wanting to put some time and efforts in it is a great thing. That is very admirable. As any other skill, your organic gardening skills will only grow with time and experience. Here is some advice for you.
If sustainability and organic gardening are appealing to you, leave a portion of the property you own undeveloped to give wildlife a place to thrive. Doing this will allow creatures that help plants to produce and pollinate to continue their actions, which will have a positive effect on the garden you develop.
Try to work as efficiently as possible when gardening. Have your tools laid out in an orderly way so you do not have to search for them. Keep your tools well-maintained and stored away in a designated place. That way you always know where they are and they are ready to use when you need them. You may also wish to invest in a tool belt to keep all of your tools within reach while gardening.
Be sure you plant strawberries in your garden for your children, you want to make sure you especially plant everbearing strawberries as well. Strawberries are a favorite of children due to their sweetness. And since they’re so easy and fun to pick, it’s also a healthy, productive, safe activity that children can assist adults with.
To avoid tracking the mud and dirt that will get on your gardening shoes, use plastic bags. Having these available lets you keep your flow in movement, and helps you return to your gardening fast so you can finish up your day.
Pine can make a great mulch. Some plants are more acidic, and prefer soil that contains higher acidic levels. For such plants, pine needles function both as a handy mulch and as a soil amendment to lower the pH. If you spread a few inches of pine needles around your garden beds, when they break down, the acid they contain will leach into the soil.
Water infused with aspirin is great for combating plant disease. Dissolve aspirin (1.5 pills per 2 gallons of water) in a bucket and administer to your plants. The solution can then be used to spray the entire plant, and will offer protection naturally. Plants should be sprayed once every two to three weeks.

Once More With Feeling: Banning TikTok Is Unconstitutional & Won’t Do Shit To Deal With Any Actual Threats
People keep saying “but they do the same to us.” That’s no excuse. We shouldn’t take a page from the Chinese censorship playbook and basically give them the moral high ground, combined with the ability to point to this move as justification for the shenanigans they’ve pulled in banning US companies from China.
If we’re doing what China is with regards to censorship, we’ve failed. This whole thing reeks of bad reasoning, and curtailing people’s speech.
Public sentiment in the US regarding China is reaching record lows, with the vast majority of Americans reasonably concerned about China’s role in the world. So if China is using TikTok to propagandize to Americans, it’s doing a shitty job of it.


Managing Compliance in the Cable Pathway
When installing structured cabling systems it is of the utmost importance to adhere to any and all applicable codes whether from the NEC or from the local Authority Having Jurisdiction. Codes are intended to ensure safety during the installation and use of all materials, systems, and premises. Not abiding by codes or knowingly violating codes can not only cause injury and property damage, but can also result in fines and potential lawsuits.
- NFPA 70 2020 Edition, Article 800.26 Spread of Fire or Products of Combustion states: “Installations of communications cables, communications raceways, cable routing assemblies in hollow spaces, vertical shafts, and ventilation or air-handling ducts shall be made so that the possible spread of fire or products of combustion will not be substantially increased. Openings around penetrations of communications cables, communications raceways, and cable routing assemblies through fire-resistant-rated walls, partitions, floors, or ceilings shall be firestopped using approved methods to maintain the fire resistance rating.”
- NFPA 101 2021 Edition, Article 184.108.40.206.1 Firestop Systems and Devices Required states: “Penetrations for cables, cable trays, conduits, pipes, tubes, combustion vents and exhaust vents, wires, and similar items to accommodate electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and communications systems that pass through a wall, floor, or floor/ceiling assembly constructed as a fire barrier shall be protected by a firestop system or device.”
Part of ensuring that your installation is code compliant is firestopping. Products such as the STI EZ Path and the EZ Path series of Retrofit Devices can help make the pains of firestopping a thing of the past. EZ Path’s are easy to install and are an all in one UL listed firestop solution for cabling pathways or bringing overfilled pathways back into code compliance. Read more here.
Having the right products and programs is only part of your overall DataComm solution. If you intend to have in-house personnel install and maintain your data systems, we can help ensure proper installation and management. BICSI is the worldwide preeminent source of information, education, and knowledge assessment for the constantly evolving information transport systems industry. At Schaedler Yesco we offer trainings for beginner to advanced installers looking to increase their knowledge. From voice, data, electronic safety & security, project management and audio & video technologies, BICSI training is designed to support those who are involved in the design, installation, implementation and maintenance of systems and associated pathways and spaces.

What’s NaNoWriMo, you may ask? NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and it takes place in November. Started in 1999 by Chris Baty in San Francisco, it soon evolved into a worldwide event organized by The Office of Letters and Light. You can join here.
The only real criteria is that you write 50,000 words in 30 days. There are forums to help you if you get stuck, if you have questions on a plot point, if you need a title, if you need inspiration, or if you want local support.
Our novel, Titanic Deception, started out as a NaNoWriMo rough draft. It’s a lot of fun, and if you’ve never written a novel before, it’s a great way to get started. If you’re an established writer, it can be a a fun way to get that rough draft written quickly. Writers of all calibers participate from all over the world, and for people who don’t care for the solitary aspect of writing, it offers a social aspect we don’t get the rest of the year.
Even if you don’t ‘win’ this year, it’s a wonderful writing exercise. Meeting a daily writing goal can be challenging, but it’s a good discipline to practice. If you don’t do that now, NaNoWriMo can be the perfect excuse to start.

INEC said no election could hold under martial law such as a state of emergency.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said on Tuesday that it would conduct elections in states under emergency rule, if the security situation in those states improved.
The commission’s spokesperson, Kayode Idowu, made the statement in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.
Mr. Idowu explained that it was obvious that elections could not hold under the present security situation in the states.
He, however, said that the commission would conduct elections in the states if the security situation improved before the 2015 general elections.
“It is simple logic that state of emergency is martial rule in which armed soldiers are in control of daily routine in these states.
“So INEC cannot deploy its workers to these areas and cannot also guarantee the safety of the electorate,” Mr. Idowu said.
However, INEC expressed the hope that the security situation would improve to enable it to conduct the 2015 general elections.
Meanwhile, Alaba Yusuf, the Media Advisor to the Chairman of People’s Democratic Movement (PDM), said INEC should allow voters in the three states exercise their franchise.
Mr. Yusuf also said that INEC should consult with the political parties before taking a decision to hold general elections in February 2015.
The Chairman of INEC, Atahiru Jega, had earlier said that the commission would prefer to hold the general elections in February 2015.
He said that the measure was necessary to enable the commission address likely challenges that could arise from the elections before the actual hand over to a new government in May.
Mr. Jega also said that elections might likely not hold in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe in 2015.

Another day, same
stamp. I used the Hero Arts Large Floral Background stamp (cg403) again but this time stamped and embossed and then colored the WHOLE image. Then I found an area in the image where I felt it could be divided and so cut the colored area into two panels that I trimmed out and mounted on white, purple and lavender card stock. These really were pretty easy peasy cards to make.....one of these no think images to color while watching tv! But I think that they make really lovely cards and will probably stamp a "thank you" sentiment on the inside. My son needs some thank you cards to send out and he LOVES it when his mom makes him pretty floral thank you notes! NOT! I also believe I am going to enter these cards into the contest/challenge at A Blog Named Hero . Well, anyhoo...here are my cards. This first one is the smaller of the two panels and I left it "plain" with just a bit of GA on the Candi Button.
The second card I blinged up a bit with lavender Stickles on the flowers as well as the Candi Button. Not really sure which one I like better. I guess I like them both!
Both cards are 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 and I love that I was able to get two nice cards out of one colored image!
I hope you are having a nice day. It is sunny and mild (er) here today and after my walk I hope my 18 year old college daughter will be awake (it is 10:00 am sheeeesh!) so she and I are able to do something!

Jan Winberg's 60th birthday
Post on 10-Jul-2016
Jan Winberg's 60th Birthday Jan Winberg celebrated his 60th birthday on April 11th, 1983. In the recent past we have had the great privilege of sharing some exciting years of research with him. It is a pleasure for us to write this in honour of a teacher and a friend.
Jan Winberg received his paediatric training at the Paediatric Clinic of the Karolinska Hospital. In 1959 he presented his dissertation on renal function in urinary tract infection and in
malformed kidneys. Since then, he has devoted much of his interest and time to children with diseases of the urinary tract, especially children with urinary tract infections. Epidemiological studies resulted in a great number of useful findings which raised questions essential to further basic research on the pathogenesis of UTI. In the early 70s at the Ume~ University Hospital he initiated research in several fields, such as neonatal behaviour in relation to breast feeding habits and neonatal colonization and malformation epidemiology, which resulted in several important studies in this field. Since 1975 he has been head of the Paediatric Clinic of the Karolinska Hospital and Karolinska Institute. A large group of young people of various capacities and inter- ests has gathered around Jan Winberg. This work has concen- trated on the pathogenesis of pyelonephritis and has resulted in a number of publications focusing on the importance of bacterial adhesion in urinary tract infections, with special reference to P- fimbriated Escherichia coti and their receptors. It was at an early stage that Jan Winberg realised the need for international contacts and communication in science. He was a founder of the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology and is also councellor of the International Paediatric Nephrology Association. By offering his help and advice he has also made a valuable contribution to the development of INFECTION from its founding. All of Jan Winberg's research is based on keen clinical observa- tions. His heart has always been with his patients, and he is one of the few remaining paediatricians who unite broad clinical knowledge with scientific merits of highest international stan- dards. We wish him every success in the continuation of his work for many years to come.

For instance , there are many methods ukrainian women for marriage to travel about informal dating that could involve spending things sluggish.

Nuance Communications Inc. has recently unveiled a new voice to text or diction that is available for iPhone users.
All that is required of the user is to speak a message in the phone, and then hit send. I haven’t tried it for myself, but generally, applications like this don’t work as simple as companies would like you to think.
Still, if it makes Twitter and Facebook updates easier, I say, let it fly. In the meantime, you should be able to pick up the Dragon Diction for free, for now.

Civil rights investigator and PINAC correspondent Jeff Gray caved under pressure and did something yesterday he normally would not do.
He gave his I.D. to a police officer called on him by a security guard as he conducted an investigation into how well officers who approached him would respect his First Amendment right to record in public.
After all, if you’ve followed us at PINAC or Jeff Gray’s YouTube channel for any amount of time, you would know that Honor Your Oath normally doesn’t give his I.D.
But it wasn’t his real I.D.
In fact, while conducting an investigation at the Jacksonville Port Authority Administration Building in Jacksonville as to how well officers would respect his right to record in public, in this instance, Jacksonville police officer Flores, who PINAC would like to commend, passed Gray’s investigation with flying colors.
Gray never really gives him his state issued I.D.
Instead, he hands him two rubber letters, an “I” and a “D.”
The apparent good cop has a laugh then leaves Gray alone since he wasn’t breaking any laws, which doesn’t always happen if you’ve followed PINAC or Gray for any amount of time.
The video begins in typical fashion with Gray describing the time, place and reason he’s there.
That’s when officer Flores approaches.
“Security just called me.”
“I’m just taking some pictures. I’m not going to go on to their property or anything like that.”
“No, OK, it’s not illegal. You’re just out here taking pictures.”
“Do you have any I.D. on you?”
“I do,” Gray replies, pulling out two rubber letters from his pocket.
“It’s not necessary,” officer Flores replies.
“I just gotta ask.”
“Here’s my ‘I,'” he says.
“And here’s my ‘D.'”
Officer Flores has a laugh, then kindly and respectfully leaves Gray alone to continue taking pictures.
The way officer Flores operated while following the Constitution is quite the contrast to what happened to Gray just weeks ago.
Earlier this month, Gray was conducting a similar investigation in Moultrie, Georgia — a city where Gray has no particular gripe or association — holding a sign outside of city hall that said “Fuck City Hall.”
Gray wanted to investigate to test if his right to freedom of speech was respected on Independence Day in small town Georgia.
In that instance, which can be seen below, it wasn’t.
And, with the Moultrie City Manager looking on, Gray was arrested after brass ordered Gray to be arrested for a sign the city manager claims is obscene.
You can read the full story and watch the full video involving that arrest below.
The story was also covered by news station WPTV, who requested permission to use the video to educate its viewers.
