'Privately we are not together but professionally we are stronger than ever,' Karen and Kevin Clifton announced on Chris Evan's breakfast show last year.
The couple who were as much partners on the dance floor as they were in life seemed to have it all in front of the Strictly cameras.
Today's top videos
After just three years of marriage however everything fell apart and they announced their split in February 2018.
Since then the couple have maintained that they're the 'best of friends.'
They even danced together on tour immediately after the break-up, something even 'the best of friends' would surely struggled with.
So what went wrong and how have they managed to maintain their united front?
Well, first off, Karen and Kevin have never actually revealed the reason behind the break-up.
Addressing it on This Morning all he would say is: 'There was suddenly this big elephant in the room, and normally you'd deal with those things privately. Obviously being on such a massive show, people are talking about it.'
In spite of their insistence that they parted amicably it's long been speculated that jealousy played a part in the split.
Kevin's friendship with his dance partner on the show in 2016, the then married Louise Redknapp, became fodder for the tabloids. The two were never more than friends but that didn't stop their partners from growing concerned.
The following July, Louise ended her twenty year relationship with Jamie but she kept in touch with Kevin and even hired him to choreograph her musical comeback.
'They know their latest link-up is bound to cause a stir but they’re being professional,' a source told The Sun at the time.
Then it was Kevin's turn to feel jealous. Karen had begun spending time with an accountant named Stuart Wood. Rumours of affair hit the headlines but by December 2017 it was reported that Karen realised that she made a mistake and returned to Kevin.
Two months later and their marriage was over for good. In the aftermath of the break-up Kevin reportedly dropped Karen from his Burn The Floor show.
Earlier this year he began dating his dance partner Stacey Dooley, allegedly breaking up her relationship in the process.
The latest twist in the tale has seen Karen return to using her first husband's name a year and a half on from the split.
Hello Magazine reports that the dancer reverted to using the handle @karenhauer on social media.

Hai, this is very well draw from the neck down I find.The only problem ithat is a possibly making this person seem not porportionate s the head is a bit to small for the rest of the body. The coloring is well done but could use soem shadows and the hair on the head may want to be a bit bigger to make the forhead look more natural. I would say this drawinf is a 6/10 but I'm sure you will keep improving. Also one other side note the hands need some work, the problemwith hand is that they are usally the hardest to draw I find. Good luck and keep up the good work.
The head is actually...too big for the body! Compared to the rest of the human body, heads are actually incredibly small. The shoulders and ribcage at their widest are about the size of two heads; this lady's ribcage is only about as wide as her head, which means she doesn't have enough room for her organs! Either shrinking down her head or widening out her shoulders and ribs (or both, if that's how you want to do it!) would help even things out. Similarly, slimming her neck down would really help with making it look proportionate; while necks are about the same width as your skull, they are also very curvy. Having her neck curve inward slightly in the middle creates a more elegant, slimmer-looking neck. You can play around with just how wide her neck is, to give her her own distinct body type compared to your other characters (some peoples' necks are thicker, some thinner, but all within the same range excluding outliers like body builders or long-necked models for example).
Her torso and waist are really long, too; your waist begins at the bottom of your rib cage, and follows the lines of your muscles down to your hips. I'd suggest finding a few references (especially skeletons!) to find a good balance for the torso length. I still make my torsos too long sometimes, so I know how hard it can be to make them right! Her left thigh (our right) is also too short; trying to gauge roughly without seeing her feet, I'd say her knees should line up arooooound the lowest wrinkle on her right leg (our left). Again, that's very rough, because her feet aren't included, and some of the other proportions are throwing it off a little. Just remember that your leg-bones are very long! Your legs make up roughly half of all your height, and your femur and shins are about the same size. Here's a picture of a skeleton, just to see how long legs are compared to everything else! [link]
I'm not so great with clothes folds and whatnot myself, but I remember making the same mistakes when I was just starting out! Her clothes don't have any reasons to be folding the way that they are; if her jeans are baggy, they should be pulled fairly straight by gravity, except for where her leg is bent. There might be some small folds or wrinkles around her hips or knees if she's walking, but that's about it, I think. For tighter clothes, there can be more wrinkles, because the material is going to be more affected by movement. Around the hips and knees will get the most amount, but I think it's plausible for there to be small folds on the upper and lower thighs especially because the material will stretch and loosen in small amounts as she moves, especially in sitting and standing. But for the most part, unless her jeans are wrinkly from the dryer, only high-movement areas (hips, knees, ankles) are going to need a lot of lines. Ill-fitting things (just a little too loose) or different materials will have more wrinkles in different places, but I don't know nearly enough about that kind of thing to say what! Also, even in baggy jeans, the crotch of the pants will usually form against the shape of the body; it'll have a much flatter or gently rounded shape. I'd suggest looking at some pictures of ladies wearing the kinds of jeans you're drawing, just to see what I mean. I hope that doesn't sound obscene
I don't know enough about shirt wrinkles or anything about jackets! So a reference would probably be best for those. Just looking at the t-shirt I'm wearing now, there are wrinkles around the shoulders, the sleeves have little waves in them, there are folds around my chest, and around the hem, where it gets scrunched up from my movements, especially when I sit and stand. So I guess that's kind of a super rough idea of what to look for, but. Hurm. As to how to DRAW folds well, deviantart has a lot of really helpful tutorials for clothing in terms of details, styles, and stuff like that. So I'd definitely suggest checking those out!
This isn't nearly as important, but just as an aside: not being able to erase well tends to distract the viewer's eye! I keep going to the faint lines, instead of to the subject. See if your scanner will allow you to adjust the contrast and brightness levels of your picture to get rid of them, or download a graphics program (like the gimp or paint.net, both of which are free) to be able to edit out some of that stuff. Again, not such a big deal, but not having the erased lines in the background would really add a level of quality to your pictures.
I hope this wasn't too long or didn't sound too stuffy and harsh! D: Good luck!

Man charged with Kingsley murder appears at Northampton court
A 27-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder of Northampton man Daniel Fitzjohn.
Daniel Quinn, of Wolverhampton, appeared in Northampton Magistrates' Court today (June 21) charged with murder as part of a large-scale investigation.
Daniel Fitzjohn died last Thursday (June 14) following an incident in Brookfield Road and Randall Road, in the Kingsley area of Northampton.
A police spokesman said Mr Fitzjohn was involved in an altercation in the Fairfield News Shop, in Fairfield Road, Kingsley, at about 9.40pm on June 14. That was followed by a foot chase in the nearby streets during which he suffered fatal stab wounds.
The 34-year-old was found and was taken to Northampton General Hospital, but sadly died a short time later.
Two women - one aged 23, one aged 27 - were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and have been released under investigation.
Quinn, who appeared in court with short, dark hair and wearing a grey, red and black sweatshirt, was remanded into custody. He will appear at Northampton Crown Court on June 25.

Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is updated to our contemporary world, where the major characters are competing on a singing reality TV show called The Right Note. At the start of the play, eliminations are down to eight contestants. The upcoming live TV episode will feature “Dynamic Duets,” during which the remaining contestants believe they will be able to pick their singing partners. One contestant has gone missing, though, and his twin sister takes his place during the dress rehearsal to keep him from being eliminated by default.
Spare Stage produced a 6 performance workshop concert of the musical that will include staging, off book performances of book and songs, with light costuming and props as necessary. The performances will include two series of 3 performances with a one to two week break between each set of 3 in order to allow Jerome and Rice to rework book, lyrics, or music.

Growing up my biggest fear used to be that I would die. Not exactly death itself. What really horrified me the most was the thought that it was really over. That nothing would happen once I die. I was also terrified of losing loved ones and never seeing them again. At the age of 18 I stumbled upon a book by Brian Weiss called “Many Lives, many Masters” and that changed my perception of everything and gave me hope.
What are past lives and past life regression?
Brian Weiss used to work as a traditional psychotherapist in the US, having graduated from Columbia and Yale University, and working with Hypnosis in many of his sessions to bring his patients back into early childhood traumas to remember and heal what needed to be healed.
One day, however, he regressed a woman back into what seemed to be a past life of hers by accident. She started recalling past life memories and traumas that seemed to hold the key to her current anxiety attacks and nightmares. She had been in treatment for many years but with not much success until she was brought back to that past life and she finally understood where her anxiety attacks came from and was able to heal. Brian Weiss initial scepticism around past lives had quickly vanished after this incident and since then he has been writing many books and publishing his case studies of remarkable past life regression sessions he has had.
Healing Fears and Phobias with past life regression
Working with energy healing methods such as Reiki, I developed a strong intuition when working with clients, and many times I would see flashes of past lives during treatments. I was also able to regress my clients during treatments so they would be able to see their own past lives.
One client of mine had a huge fear of driving cars. He had never wanted to learn to drive cars and didn’t know why. When I saw the past life it became clear: He had died in a dramatic car accident and had “killed” his wife and three kids. Nowadays he drives cars without any problems.
Another client of mine is writing a book. She came for a Reiki treatment and I saw a past life where she was a hardworking, poor, African woman, who was pregnant and carrying heavy loads on top of her head. Because of that she lost the baby and got expulsed by her husband and the village, dying all alone in the desert. When I told her about what I had seen, she told me that she had written this same episode in her book. I told her she was remembering her past life and was writing it down. What she thought was a novel, was in reality her soul remembering her past life traumas and trying to heal it by writing things down.
Another client leads five lives in one. She feels she wants to experience so many things and is always scared that life is too short to experience everything. When she was brought back to a past life, she was seeing a scene around 1800 and where she was run over by a horse carriage. She was staring at her dead body as a spirit and didn’t know what to do. I directed her towards the light but she refused to go. So I brought her back to one day before the accident to understand who she was. She saw herself working for a rich family serving their food. She was still young and hadn’t even started enjoying her life and experiencing the things she wanted to experience. When she died, she felt she died too young and thought it was unfair. She continued to refuse to go the light, being scared of having to come back again to earth and to experience everything from scratch. I told her she could go to the light and for sure she would be resting for a while “up there” in peacefulness. That’s when she agreed to finally leave and go to the light.
Past lives and karmic relationships
We often reincarnate with the same people, just in different constellations. Who is your husband/wife in this life, could have been a son/daughter or a brother in a previous life. I see many past lives where my clients got killed or wronged by someone who I would identify as someone who is present in his/her current life. And they would always agree that with that person they had a very difficult relationship.
If you find yourself in a relationship or marriage that feels very heavy, yet you are unable to leave each other, most of the times you are experiencing a karmic relationship. And most likely either you or your partner have wronged one another in a previous life.
We come back here in different constellations and will experience karmic relationships so we can let go of the karma. It involves a lot of forgiveness work to move on.
We can also have karmic relationships with our mothers, fathers, siblings or friends. The law of cause and effect states that everything happens for a reason and that all our actions have consequences and will cause a specific result or outcome. Therefore, whatever we wish upon others, whether good or bad, will have an effect and causing us to receive something good or bad in return.
When past lives ended badly, the law of cause and effect will follow you into all your next lives until this issue has been resolved.
I have a client who fell in love with a man, but who was so scared to commit. She would break up all the time and suffer a great deal until they would get back together, only to feel even more fears. After a few sessions we saw a few past lives. All revolved around either her dying or him dying, thus abandoning each other life after life. The fear was deep rooted and once she recognised the pattern she was able to slowly release the fear and enjoy being with him.
Another female client had a series of bad luck when it came to men and staying in a long term relationship. She never allowed herself to fall in love. We then saw a few past lives where she had been married to someone she hadn’t loved and wasn’t allowed to be with the man she was actually in love with. In one of these lives she made a strong affirmation: “I will never love again!” She admitted that even in this life she used this affirmation often. In fact, this affirmation has been hunting her in many lives for she doesn’t allow her heart to feel love again. Once we discovered these past lives she understood that if she wants to experience love, she will have to let go and heal these past lives, as well as stopping to use such strong and negative affirmations.
I could go on and on with case studies about past lives. However, I strongly recommend reading Brian Weiss “Many Lives, Many Masters” instead who just like me believes that with past life regression you can “heal—and grow—your mind, body and soul, as well as strengthen your present-day relationships.”
If you are interested to know more about past lives and how it can help you in your situation, you can contact me here for an initial 20 min free consultation.

Internet radio is available in over 100 countries, with over 10,000 radio stations. The English radio station BBC boasts over 6 million listeners per month. It is estimated that over 150 million users tune in to listen to internet radio, and that this number is growing.
Over 1.5 million Arabs live in Israel, of whom 55% of between the ages of 16 and 45, and are familiar with the Internet. At present many listeners tune in to one of two traditional radio stations – Radio A-Shams and Kol Israel, however a significant portion of the younger population do not tune in to these stations. They present a potential audience, for a specialized radio station with focused programs.
What’s in the future?
Internet radio has significant advantages over FM radio, such as the ability to include video streaming, filmed interviews and chats with listeners. The cost of operating an internet station is far lower than the cost of operating a traditional radio station. Today the Internet is accessible from offices, centers, factories and the home. As the leading Israeli Arab news and content site, with over 1,200,000 visitors per day and 87% market share (according to TGI), Panet is uniquely positioned to provide users with a quality internet radio station.
Panet radio will include a variety of programs, including economic, consumer, technology, and news, in addition to sport, entertainment and music (playlist). Panet radio will retain leading media personalities, to act as a catalyst for the Israeli Arab economy.
Panet Radio will offer jingles of up to three seconds, program sponsorships and other advertising options.

In Kyoto, in the oldest market of the city (Nishiki Market), we can find a very modern shop. In the middle of the old stalls held by generations of Japanese. A Snoopy shop has recently opened. You can find many derived products from the famous beagle and his entourage. And as in the Japanese habits, who says shop, say theme food products. So we have to set our sights on a Dorayaki (どら焼き), a Daifuku (大福) and a Manjū (饅頭)
These are 3 traditional Japanese pastries that have 2 peculiarities. The first is that on every cake, there is an element reminiscent of the mascot of the shop, Snoopy or the comics. The second is that despite the choice of traditional Japanese delicacy, the choice of ingredients is a little more fancy. First of all, the Doriyaki, which in the Japanese habits, consists of 2 pancakes glued together by a red bean paste Anko (餡子). In our version, this snack with the effigy of the famous dog engraved on the top, seen again and again to be enjoyed by Japanese children, is composed of 2 pancakes but with mung bean paste flavored with Matcha (抹茶) and a few grains of black beans. Then, the very typical Daifuku of Japanese cuisine is a candy usually consisting of a mochi 餅 (ball made by sticky rice flour) stuffed with Anko or cream. In our well-known canine character, the mochi is stuffed with a white chocolate whipped cream and a small piece of dark chocolate on top. Finally, the Manjū that looks like Snoppy's head, is actually a kind of steamed brioche dough with inside Anko's paste.
Japanese theme cakes like Snoopy can be found all over Japan. The 3 pastries that we taste are actually very sweet because traditionally Anko's paste is a fairly sweet paste. On the other hand, it is an experience that is really fun and it emerges that the Daifuku was very well elaborated as well in terms of texture as of amalgam of the flavors. Nishiki Market is a must-see market in Kyoto, so why not go to Snoopy shop? You will not waste your time :)

Premier League clubs to miss out on cash boost as pre-season cup is cancelled
Premier League clubs are set to miss out on tens of millions in prize money due to this summer’s International Champions Cup being cancelled amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Teams have pocketed up to £16m for taking part in the pre-season tournament each year since it began in 2013, with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur among the previous winners.
No Premier League clubs had been named for the 2020 edition yet, though a number were expected to take part after Arsenal, Manchester United and Spurs all competed last year.
A match between Barcelona and Real Madrid in Las Vegas was among the highlights expected this year and both clubs are expected to miss out on €18m due to the cancellation.
The ongoing spread of COVID-19 across the United States and the lockdown measures in place in China, another host country, have made it impossible to host the International Champions Cup this summer.
It has become the latest in a number of summer tournaments to be cancelled after Euro 2020, Copa America, Olympics and Wimbledon were all postponed.

The 2-to-1 decision allows the state to maintain those voting boundaries for the 2018 election and puts the lawsuit on hold until after the Supreme Court has ruled in a similar partisan gerrymandering case from Wisconsin scheduled for October.
The challenge in Maryland centers on the 6th Congressional District in Western Maryland that was redrawn to include parts of heavily Democratic Montgomery County. The plaintiffs say the state’s Democratic leaders violated their First Amendment rights by diluting the number of Republican voters and ensuring that a Democrat would win.
All three judges on the panel at a July hearing acknowledged plaintiffs had presented convincing evidence that the state’s Democratic leaders intended to make it easier for their party to pick up another congressional seat. But in their split decision, the judges said it was not enough to warrant the “highly consequential” preliminary injunction the challengers sought.

text: A delegation from Georgia, including Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, are seeking to boost ties with Beersheba in the field of cyber security.Israel has put a focus on making Beersheba its “cyber capital,” building an industrial park for cyber security companies there, coordinating with Ben-Gurion University, which has a special cyber security degree, and planning on moving IDF bases into the area as well.Reed told BGU president Prof. Rivka Carmi that he had aspirations for enhancing Atlanta’s cyber security ecosystem. “We want to turn Atlanta into the cyber center of the southeastern United States. We brought officials from the municipal and state levels to see the ‘Best in Class,’ which shows the respect we have for what you built.”In Georgia as a whole, a similar move is underway. The US Army cyber command is based in Augusta, with 1,900 people already working and another 1,400 expected in the next 2 years, plus an NSA encryption center.“Augusta is starting to become similar to Beersheba, because the army and NSA have put their cyber security bases there,” said Ronen Kenan, Georgia’s representative in Israel.Georgia, he said, is a hub for data centers; about 25% of worldwide IT security revenue is generated by Georgia companies.The 33-person delegation, which includes representatives from major companies such as Delta Airlines, Home Depot, Coca-Cola and UPS, follows a visit by Georgia Governor Nathan Deal last June.Already, 50 Israeli companies operate in Georgia, about half of them industrial and the other half high-tech. Amdocs, for example, has 750 employees in Georgia, and companies such as ZIM and IAI also have dealings in the state.“We view the southeast as a strong gateway to the US for Israeli companies,” said Guy Tessler of Conexx, formerly the America-Israel Chamber of Commerce for the Southeast region.The delegation hopes not just to emulate Beersheba or garner investment, but strengthen bidirectional ties and explore the possibility of joint cooperation further down the line.The delegation will also attend the second annual cybertech security conference in Tel Aviv this week.

I, like many, have an OTT love for guac. My recipe? I keep it simple and follow some basic ratios, nothing fancy. On this occasion, however, I thought I'd spice things up a bit. Kraut and avocado were made for each other. The sour, salty flavour that kraut takes on as it develops is just what's needed in guacamole and somehow gives a deeper, rounder flavour than lime juice on its own. I've used the Turmeric + Black Pepper Kraut in this recipe, but the Green Chilli and Coriander Kimchi or Winter Squash Kimchi would work equally as well.
Makes 1 small bowl
1.5 medium avocados
Juice of ½ lime or lemon
Pinch sea salt
Drizzle olive oil
1tsp chopped coriander
1tbsp sauerkraut/kimchi (see above for suggestions)
- Cut in half and de-stone to avocados. Scoop out the contents into a bowl.
- Add the lime/lemon juice, the salt and olive oil and mash with a fork.
- Add the kraut and chopped coriander and lightly stir to combine.
- Serve with a little more kraut and coriander leaves sprinkled on top.

State employee files $19 million sexual harassment lawsuit
January 16, 2020
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A state employee who says she was sexually harassed and physically injured by a supervisor is suing the state for $19 million.
Toni Prins, a Kenai juvenile justice worker, also said in her lawsuit that she was given a poor performance review when she complained, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
The lawsuit was filed in November. State officials deny that Prins has a valid claim and last month asked that it be dismissed.
Prins’ lawsuit claims a supervisor began to harass her in April 2016. She complained to another supervisor but no immediate action was taken,...

There are times when you would not be able to pay me enough to be part of the NHL’s department of player safety because of the agonizingly difficult decisions they sometimes face. Today is not one of those days. The suspension handed to Nazem Kadri for his crosscheck to the head of Jake DeBrusk – a suspension that will keep Kadri out of the remainder of the series, be it three games, four games or a maximum of five games – was one of the easiest lay-ups the department has ever faced.
In reality, Kadri made it very easy to lower the boom on him. And now, Kadri will not play in the rest of the series against the Boston Bruins. That’s good for hockey, it’s good for the Bruins and it may even be good for the Toronto Maple Leafs, because clearly Kadri playing against this particular team and this particular player brings out the worst in him.
Nazem Kadri is a 28-year-old veteran. Jake DeBrusk is 22 and still has a year to go on his entry-level contract. The fact that DeBrusk has been able to lure Kadri into a smashmouth competition is laughable. What’s even more ridiculous is that Kadri took the bait so hard and lost his composure so easily, which makes it pretty clear he has a difficult time learning from his mistakes. But it has always been that way with Kadri, right from the day he was picked by the Leafs in the first round in 2009. It took five years for the Maple Leafs to figure out exactly what they had in Kadri. Along the way there were trips to the minors and team-imposed suspensions, along with a lot of heart-to-heart talks with him and his parents from anyone in a position of power in the organization.
The funny thing about that was that the on-ice part of his game wasn’t even what worried the Leafs most. Now, though, the only thing that has the organization concerned is what he’s done on the ice. Through much of the regular season, that wasn’t much. It’s pretty clear at this point that playing in a third-line role behind John Tavares and Auston Matthews was a transition that was difficult for him to make. And now, with his history when it comes to a lack of discipline, it’s also clear Kadri is a tough nut to crack when it comes to getting through to him about where to draw the line with his play.
And that’s really unfortunate, because the Leafs really need what Kadri brings to the lineup. There is no reason why Kadri should not be able to transform himself into a shutdown center who is generally a miserable guy to face. His inability to control his emotions may have prevented him from playing that role, and may ultimately provide him a one-way ticket out of town.
In case you haven’t noticed, the Leafs are in a salary cap crunch. As it stands right now, they have just $3.7 million in cap space next season and are faced with the prospect of signing Mitch Marner, Kasperi Kapanen and Andreas Johnsson, the last of which has arbitration rights, as restricted free agents and likely replacing Jake Gardiner and Ron Hainsey. The unfortunate thing is that, with a very reasonable cap hit of $4.5 million for the next three seasons, Kadri could have been a big part of the solution. Having a very good two-way center with a high degree of feistiness to his game at that price point is a very good asset to have.
And now it looks as though somebody else will have that asset in their lineup. The same way he did with the NHL, Nazem Kadri has made the decision to cut him loose from the only big-league team he has ever known an easy one.
And that’s the last thing you want to do as an NHL player. Teams tend to take the path of least resistance and when it comes to Kadri, both from the public relations and practical standpoints, this is a pretty simple one to take. Don’t be the least bit surprised if Saturday night was the last you ever see Nazem Kadri in a Maple Leaf uniform and his crosscheck to DeBrusk his last indiscretion.

What Factors Affect Monthly Mortgage Payments?
A lot has been said about monthly mortgage payments with some advising to pay off higher monthly rates so that the mortgage is cleared off fast, while others say to stick to a reasonable sum for the entire duration, so that your savings are not affected much. Quite a few tools can help you to calculate what your monthly mortgage payment might be, based on the principal amount, interest rate, private mortgage insurance, down payment, and the sum required in the escrow account.
Let us discuss those in detail:
This is the total price of your home. An average term of a mortgage is generally 30 years, with the actual price being divided by 30 and then 12 to arrive at a monthly sum. If you can increase this amount slightly in some months, the overall sum will be reduced since the amount that interest is added to, comes down.
The lender has to be reassured that you hold a vested interest in the property, which is decided by the down payment. It also helps to bring down the financed principal amount.
Appraisal fees, closing costs, and additional assorted charges have to be factored in when a mortgage loan is closed off. However, these expenses can be included in the mortgage so you don’t need to pay those upfront when it is time for closing.
Unfortunately, quite a bit of your monthly sum is allocated to the interest associated with the loan. Therefore, you must decide on a decent interest rate that you can afford every month. Fixed rate mortgages ensure the interest rate is fixed till the end of the term, while adjustable rate mortgages involve changes in interest rates as per fluctuations in the market. If you can’t take risks, it is best to stick to fixed rate mortgage as you know exactly how much to pay.
Private Mortgage Insurance
If the sum you have paid as down payment is low and you have a poor credit rating, private mortgage insurance has to be paid to the lender. This is a precaution in case you default on the mortgage.
This is a savings account that finances amounts including property taxes and homeowners insurance. The mortgage company is basically protecting their interests in the property, by making sure that you can afford to pay for taxes and insurance.
Thus you can see how monthly mortgage payments are influenced by several factors. It is best to consult an expert who can provide you with proper guidance before you purchase any mortgage.

Scientists find two gas giants orbiting a star, and with it up the chances of our discovering another Earth
Less than fifteen years ago, the concept of an extrasolar planet orbiting a star much like our own was only a theory. Since that time, we've discovered nearly 300 extrasolar planets in all, but have consistently failed to find systems which orbit around stars resembling the sun. Today, the BBC is reporting on a find by astronomers from St. Andrews University of two gas giants on par with Saturn and Jupiter in orbit around a star half the size of our sun. While the finding is not a direct link to a system similar to ours, it does present an increased likelihood that our system is not unique.

Although this tablet is an affordable device, its design is pretty stylish. The back cover is gray and on it you can find some product inscriptions and along with the model name there is also an Intel logo, reminding us of the CPU manufacturer. Additionally, there is also a rear 2.0MP camera, which may not be that great but is still good to have. Taking a look at the silversih sides, we can notice that they are slightly chamfered, which contributes to the attractive design.
The left-hand side is where all the connectivity options are located, and the top side holds the Power button and volume controls. As we mentioned, you can use an external keyboard by connecting it to the bottom side where the contact points are located. We must note that the offer above does not include a keyboard or a stylus, so if you consider purchasing these devices you can use the following links:
As far as the front side is concerned, the most notable feature is the 1920 x 1200 p IPS display, which ensures good viewing angles and saturated colors. Above the display there is also a 2MP front-facing camera for video calls.

The New York Times has announced that Somini Sengupta has been appointed the newspaper's next Delhi bureau chief.
The decision is historic in that Sengupta, currently the Times' West Africa bureau chief, becomes the first reporter of Indian origin to assume the position.
"Ms Sengupta will take up her position sometime in early 2005," Foreign Editor Susan Chira told rediff.com
Chira acknowledged that no other Indian reporter had run the Delhi bureau, but said "there is no conscious plan for this."
"She is a superb reporter who is eminently qualified and wanted the position and earned it," she said.
She added that David Rohde and Amy Waldman, who currently cover South Asia, would be leaving the region.
Sengupta, who was traveling through Nigeria and unavailable for comment, was born in Calcutta. She graduated with a BA in English and Development Studies from the University of California at Berkeley in 1988, and worked as a radio producer and cocktail waitress before turning to journalism. Her career began in 1992 with a stint in the minority training program at The Los Angeles Times.
She then worked at Newsday for two years before joining The New York Times in 1995. In West Africa, she has closely followed such dramatic stories as the overthrow of Liberian president Charles Taylor and the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.
As the Delhi bureau chief, she follows in the footsteps of some of the Times' most illustrious reporters, including Pulitzer Prize winners A M 'Abe' Rosenthal, Joseph Lelyveld, Barry Bearak and John Burns. Rosenthal and Lelyveld went on to become the newspaper's executive editors.
Sengupta has received the 1997 Newswomen's Club of New York Feature Writing Award. Her work is included in The Poynter Institute's Best Newspaper Writing 2000.

Snapshot: It’s sort of hard to fathom that the backside of a coach with six 10-win seasons and two conference championships could be anywhere near tepid let alone warm, but that’s the position Mark Richt’s rear finds itself in heading into the 2011 season. Of course, when you’re coming off back-to-back poor seasons — including last year’s sub-.500 debacle — and compete in the hyper-competitive SEC, that all comes with the territory.
There are three things, however, that could give credence to the thought that the past two seasons were mere aberrations, and that Richt’s in Athens for an even longer haul. First, and despite the loss of A.J. Green to early entry into the NFL draft, the play of quarterback Aaron Murray. In his first year as a starter, and as a freshman, Murray showed that he has the talent, poise and football acumen to be one of the top QBs in the country sooner rather than later, with that sooner very likely coming during the 2011 season. Secondly, a defense that was surprisingly solid in the first year in Todd Grantham’s 3-4 defense should be even better a year later thanks to two spring sessions, two summer camps and one full season of adjusting to the new scheme. Finally, the arrival of two outstanding back-to-back recruiting classes generally and running back Isaiah Crowell specifically.
Simply put Crowell has the talent to be to the Bulldogs as a true freshman what Marcus Lattimore was to South Carolina as a true frosh last season. With the loss of the top two rushers the past two seasons this offseason, Crowell, Richt and the Bulldogs will likely have no other choice than to allow the youngster to carry the bulk of the running game load. If — and it’s certainly a sizable if — all three of those issues come to fruition in a positive way, Georgia will go a long way in putting the past two years in the rear-view mirror and will be looking ahead to what appears to be, once again, a very bright future for the football program.
Make-or-break game: Sept. 10 vs. South Carolina
Georgia would love nothing more than to rise once again to the level of being a real threat to win the East Division. The second week of the season, the Bulldogs will get their measuring stick as they’ll face the runaway preseason favorite to take home their second consecutive East crown. This game will serve as their stiffest conference test of the season as they manage to avoid seeing both Alabama and LSU on the schedule, with the added bonus that the Gamecocks game will be played between the hedges in Athens. Regardless of the outcome, though, Georgia should have a pretty good idea how far it has to go to back to a championship-contending level. Or how close it already is.
Heisman hopeful: Murray
Three of the last four Heisman winners have been sophomores, redshirt or otherwise and nine of the last 10 have played quarterback. Why not this redshirt sophomore quarterback? All he did in his first year as a starter in the toughest conference in the country was throw for over 3,000 yards, 26 touchdowns and, perhaps most impressively, just eight interceptions. Not saying Murray will win the Heisman this year — next year may be the real Heisman push — but I will say I’d be very surprised if he’s not in the discussion as the calendar turns from October to November.
Postseason projection: Chick-fil-A Bowl

19 Unposted Trained Teachers granted Self recognizance Bail
The Adjabeng District court has referred the case between the state and some 19 Unposted Newly Trained teachers who were arrested at the forecourt of the Ghana education service to the alternative dispute resolution, ADR.
The court also granted the trained teachers a self recognizance bail.
Counsel for the accused persons, Bede Tukuu, described the action of the police as pathetic stressing that the Unposted teachers received text messages from the Ghana Education Service, GES, indicating that they were needed to continue with the process for their postings but upon arrival, they were told the GES had not sent the said messages and that what they received was fake.
The teachers, therefore, insisted they wanted confirmation from the human resource manager but the police were rather called in to arrest them.
Bede Tuguu argued, they did not cause any harm nor attempted to destroy any property as the charges from the police indicated.
He, therefore, expressed shock by the action of the police.
The court after some suggestions from the legal team of the teachers settled on an alternative dispute resolution mechanism to settle the matter.
The trained teachers would appear before the ADR on January 28, to commence the resolution.
The 19 teachers were arrested on January 13 at the forecourt of the Ghana education service with the charges of unlawful assembly and offensive conduct which they pleaded not guilty.
The case has been adjourned to January 29.

UK Oil & Gas Industry Further Invests in Oil Production
The UK oil and gas industry continues in a practical and effective manner to respond to calls for additional investment in global oil production and refining capacity.
The UK Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA) reports that UK oil and gas producers are playing their part and investing hard in the mature North Sea to maximize recovery of the country's reserves, estimated to be up to 28 billion barrels.
It adds however that he industry's efforts to stem the rate of UK production decline would be derailed by further tax hits, poor regulation and escalating costs.
Malcolm Webb, Chief Executive of industry trade body, UKOOA, points out that the Chancellor recently called for additional investment in oil production, and that UK oil and gas producers are in fact already doing just that.
"Exploration of the UK continental shelf for new fields is up this year as is the number of new production wells drilled to date," states Webb. "The industry invested over £8 billion last year. This year, we expect that figure to rise by as much as 25% to £10 billion.
"The industry's efforts to stem the rate of UK production decline are paying off and current investment plans will see the rate halved to 7% per annum. This means we expect UK fields to be producing for decades to come, and in 2020 should still be meeting 65% of all our oil needs and a quarter of our gas needs."
Webb continues that if UK production does not continue, oil and gas will of course have to be imported. "Producing our own oil and gas saves this country £30 billion on its balance of trade and will generate more than £10 billion in tax for the Treasury, more than double the amount paid last year. Not only does it provide a secure source of primary energy, but is also supports over a quarter of a million jobs across the UK.
The oil and gas industry has evidently invested a total of over £330 billion since the first exploration licenses were issued more than 40 years ago, and has recovered 34 billion barrels of oil and gas from Britain's often hostile offshore environment. This, contends Webb, has been done without risking a penny of taxpayers' money but, on the contrary, earning the country more than £200 billion in tax revenues in total.
He states: "The next chapter in the industry's history is now being developed on the already considerable presence of UK expertise, goods and services in the world energy market, which can continue to grow and create wealth for many decades yet to come.
"We should therefore be doing everything possible to build on and sustain one of the UK's most remarkable post-war industrial success stories. The country's reliance on oil and gas is growing, and government forecasts suggest that by 2020, 85% of our primary energy needs will be met by these resources.
"Oil companies sustaining high levels of investment in production is only one side of the coin. The other side is for government policy makers to work with industry to create the right business climate that will support UK oil and gas production in the long term."
Helping to achieve and sustain investment in production is the fact that last month three of the North Sea's most innovative and ambitious independent oil and gas exploration and production companies joined the UKOOA as members.
Canadian subsidiary Oilexco North Sea, Texas-headquartered Newfield Exploration and British-built Dana Petroleum have taken up UKOOA membership within the last six months, bringing the total number of companies represented by the industry body to 34.
Commenting on this development Webb says that all three represent the fresh blood arriving in the North Sea today, this being businesses that are taking advantage of the improved access to UK acreage to bring state-of-the art exploration and development techniques to the chase for new oil and gas discoveries.
"There is still huge potential for business growth in the North Sea, but the risks associated with fiscal instability, inapt regulation and escalating costs remain. Industry debate on such issues is strengthened by our members' input and support, and ensures UKOOA's voice continues to represent the industry's interests.
"It is particularly important that as a representative body, UKOOA's membership reflects the diverse range of companies currently active in UK oil and gas exploration and production," Webb concludes.

Way to go 8) ...you are doing a great job doing what you do... you are on the right track.. there is nothing more you can do while you are at senior year high school... attending ER several times with may be doctors/friends can give you an idea on how an ER doctor can be like....u should take full shifts with them and attend their meetings...
being an ER doctor is very stressful but it has a wonderful phsycological feedback...especially when you're good at it and helping a lot of people with your skills.. anyone can be a doctor....but few who become pioneer in it :wink: or even do it well :!:
it's a good thing you're reading medical terminology , anatomy and physiology... these are the basics... by which you can at least understand what's going on in the ER while you are there.... then you can learn new stuff and go back to read about it, ok?
keep up the good work,

The new YZ125 is also equipped with a handlebar mounted clutch adjuster as well as wider footrests and the latest pattern Dunlop tyres.
Every YZ125 is supplied with a GYTR developed race kit to increase the appeal of this winning machine. The race kit includes: - GYTR oversize front brake rotor and caliper bracket

- Kit RRP value $940
2015 YZ125 Ride Review: (Aaryn Miners) Clubman / Vet Rider.
One of the things I missed during my years of riding and racing was the chance to spend any quality time riding a 125cc two-stroke.
After riding from the age of 5 until the age of 11 as a youngster then not riding again until my early 20's and jumping straight onto a YZ250 in the early 2000's before moving to four-stroke machinery, the total time spent riding a 125cc stroke before the 2015 Yamaha medial launch would have been around 30 minutes in total!
After spending a little to long getting geared up at QMP for the launch, by the time I was set to ride the only bike left was one of the 2015 Yamaha YZ125 two strokes fitted with the GYTR race kit that comes supplied with each 2014 Yamaha two stroke race bike.
Being in the mid 90kg weight bracket I was a little worried that the small bore two stroke would not have the power to pull me around the natural terrain track at QMP! I quickly found out that I need not worry and proceeded to have the most enjoyable 30 minutes of riding that I have had in a long long time!
The little 125 had a surprising amount of punch out of the corners, though it did require me to be exactly in the right gear and still with a bit of play with the clutch.
The bike is so light and feels so small you instantly gain a sense of confidence that you can put the bike anywhere you want at any time and with a power hit that you know that is not going to scare you no matter how hard you try, the YZ125 two banger has you feeling like you are a pro rider in not time flat!
The reality was more along the lines that I was actually going through corners slower than I would an just about any other bike, but the fact that I could open the throttle and flick on the clutch and flick up through the gears with the bike on the pipe made it feel like I was flying and to be honest if I was timing my laps, I don't think my lap times would have been much slower on the 125!
It was not until my second ride in the afternoon aboard the YZ125 that I really took notice of how easy this bike was to ride and it certainly was a strange feeling being at the entry to a turn coming out on to a fast straight, turning throttle all the way back on the stops clicking up a gear, only to look up and realise you still only half way through the turn!
I could have spent all day riding the YZ125, it was a very enjoyable bike to ride.
Would I purchase one for myself as a Vet rider over 35 years of age weighing in at over 90kg to use as my main bike to race on? Nope it just would not be practical.
Would I purchase a YZ125 for myself If I had the spare cash and wanted a bike to take out every now and then to have some fun on and hit up some practice tracks? For sure, after spending a good hour aboard the bike at QMP there is nothing I would like more than to have a 2015 Yamaha YZ125 with a GYTR kit sitting in my shed ready to take out at any given moment for a ride.

Pakistani Public Opinion Ever More Critical of U.S.
Following a year of tensions between their country and the United States, Pakistanis continue to hold highly unfavorable views of the U.S. and offer bleak assessments of the relationship between the two nations. And President Obama is held in exceedingly low regard. Additionally, over the last few years, Pakistanis have become less willing to work with the U.S. on efforts to combat extremist groups.
Widespread Condemnation for Assad in Neighboring Countries
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is widely unpopular in neighboring countries and the vast majority of Jordanians, Egyptians, Tunisians and Turks would like to see him step down. Even though many would like to see Assad out of office, there is limited support for tougher international economic sanctions or Arab military intervention, and very little support for Western military action.
Global Opinion of Obama Slips, International Policies Faulted
Global approval of President Barack Obama’s international policies has declined significantly since he first took office, while overall confidence in him and attitudes toward the U.S. have slipped modestly as a consequence. In nearly all countries surveyed, there is considerable opposition to a major component of the Obama administration’s anti-terrorism policy: drone strikes.
Russians Back Protests, Political Freedoms
A solid majority of Russians see attending protests as an opportunity to speak out about how the government is run, and more than half specifically approve of the mass demonstrations that followed the December 2011 parliamentary vote, which was marred by fraud allegations. Nonetheless, 72% of Russians voice a favorable opinion of Vladimir Putin.
Egyptians Remain Optimistic, Embrace Democracy and Religion in Political Life
A year after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak, a new nationwide survey finds that Egyptians remain upbeat about the course of the nation and prospects for progress. Most Egyptians continue to support democracy, and most also want Islam to play a major role in society.
China Seen Overtaking U.S. as Global Superpower
The United States continues to receive positive ratings in much of the world, but it faces the new challenge of doubts about its superpower status. Publics around the world increasingly believe that China either will replace or already has replaced the U.S. as the world’s leading superpower.
U.S. Image in Pakistan Falls No Further Following bin Laden Killing
America’s image among Pakistanis remains poor, and most disapprove of the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden. Extremist groups also remain unpopular, although support for using the Pakistani military against extremists has waned. Most name India as the top threat to Pakistan. Overall, the public mood in Pakistan is grim – 92% are dissatisfied with the country’s direction.
Egyptians Embrace Revolt Leaders, Religious Parties and Military, As Well
Egyptians of all ages, from all walks of life, and parts of the country continue to celebrate the dramatic political changes their nation has undergone. Overwhelmingly, they say it is good that former president Hosni Mubarak is gone. Nearly two-in-three are satisfied with the way things are going in Egypt, and most are optimistic about their country’s future.
Indians See Threat From Pakistan, Extremist Groups
More than seven-in-ten Indians have confidence in Barack Obama and about two-thirds express a favorable opinion of the U.S. Indians are also upbeat about their country’s economic situation and its role in world affairs. Still, most say India faces major challenges, including crime and corruption. And there are widespread concerns about Pakistan and extremist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Brazilians Upbeat About Their Country, Despite Its Problems
Brazilians are relatively upbeat about the state of their country, although they still see serious challenges, including illegal drugs, crime and political corruption. And Brazilians are confident about their country’s place in the world: most say Brazil already is or will eventually be one of the world’s leading powers.
Concern About Extremist Threat Slips in Pakistan
Overwhelmingly, Pakistanis see terrorism as a major problem in their country and most have negative views of the Taliban and al Qaeda, but they have become less concerned over the last year that extremists will take over Pakistan. Meanwhile, Pakistanis continue to express serious concerns about the U.S. and their longtime rival India.
Obama More Popular Abroad Than At Home, Global Image of U.S. Continues to Benefit
As the global economy begins to rebound from the great recession, people around the world remain deeply concerned with the way things are going in their countries. Less than a third of the publics in most nations say they are satisfied with national conditions, as overwhelming numbers say their economies are in bad shape. […]
Pakistani Public Opinion
Pakistani public opinion has turned against al Qaeda and the Taliban, and no fewer than 69% of those polled express worry that extremists will take control of the nation. Ratings for President Asif Ali Zardari have also plummeted, as Pakistanis see their country in crisis.

It’s been one year since a shooting spree shook the community of Penticton, and one year later the trial for the man charged remains ongoing.
‘Community reeling after shooting spree’ reads the front cover headline of the Penticton Western News on Wednesday, April 17, 2019.
At the time, RCMP called it a ‘dark day’.
John Brittain, a former engineer with the City of Penticton, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder in connection with the shootings that left Darlene Knippelberg, Susan and Barry Wonch and Rudi Winter dead.
It was previously reported that Brittain, 68 at the time of the shootings, knew the victims, who were all in their 60s and 70s.
The initial call of shots fired was reported to police around 10:30 that morning. The front page of the April 17 Penticton Western News reads:
A man working at a nearby business said he heard several loud noises then went outside to see what was happening and saw the alleged shooter walking up the street with a long gun in his hands.
Following this, RCMP said they believed the shooter then drove to Cornwall Avenue where he shot three more people and two different residences.
Police arrested Brittain at 11:27 a.m. when he arrived at the detachment in his vehicle and turned himself in.
RCMP had explained that they were glad Brittain did this.
“This devastating and catastrophic news has shaken everyone who calls Penticton home or who regularly visits our beautiful community,” wrote mayor John Vassilaki at the time.
“Yesterday (April 15, 2019) marked an unfortunate chapter in our community’s history, but it also demonstrated our commitment to each other through acts of assistance and compassion in the aftermath of tragedy,” he said.
On March 17 a candlelight vigil was held to honour the victims.
Then on April 20 of this year, Brittain was scheduled to appear in Penticton Supreme Court on fix a date for trial.
However, Supreme Court is among the many things put on hold due to COVID-19. In March the Supreme Court of Canada issued a statement saying cases previously scheduled for hearing in March, April and May are adjourned, tentatively, to June 2020.
On April 2, the Honourable Chief Justice Hinkson suspended regular operations of the Supreme Court of British Columbia at all of its locations to protect the health and safety of court users and to help contain the spread of COVID-19.
It is possible Brittain’s appearance will also be put on hold, however, more information will be known closer to the scheduled date.
In March the Western News reported that the trial for the accused Penticton shooter was anticipated to take four weeks.
Breaking coverage from the day of the shooting can be found here.


Officials have told The Associated Press that a man shot dead in Tehran last weekend was a scientist involved in suspected Iranian attempts to make nuclear weapons and not a student as officially claimed.
The man, who was killed last Saturday, was initially identified by state-run media as Darioush Rezaei, a physics professor and expert in neutron transport. The media then backtracked, with officials subsequently naming him as Dariush Rezaeinejad, an electronics student.
Foreign officials contacted by the Associated Press have verified the name, but say that Rezaeinedjad participated in developing high-voltage switches, a key component that is crucial to setting off the explosions needed to trigger a nuclear warhead.

We were charged $220 per night for a tiny, old and not very clean cabin. The shower leaked into the kitchen, the bathroom smelled of urine and the couch was so filthy we would not sit on it. We were not able to park in our spot next to the cabin as there was a dirty great gum tree growing in the parking spot. Look elsewhere.
Before arriving you wonder about the quality of the venue. Well there was absolutely nothing to be concerned with. The cabin we stayed in, with air -conditioning - phew! was very comfortable and then there was the pool which provided a great social platform to mix with other holiday makers. A great location and would not hesitate to stay there again. Close to the wineries and the Hunter Valley Gardens we were very happy cabin campers....lol
Really disappointed with this caravan park. Extremely lacking in facilities for children, although the website depicted it to be a family friendly park. No hand soap in the bathrooms for days and we got told to turn the music down at 6:30pm on Christmas Day. Was advised upon booking that our dog wasn't allowed at the park over Christmas, yet we found ourselves frequently dining with other holiday makers canines and pet lizards! Save the trouble and go elsewhere. Not worth the money.

It became known about Microsoft‘s plans to integrate the chatbot ChatGPT, which is gaining popularity, into the future Windows 12. Moreover, the first developments of this integration can be implemented already in the next updates of Windows 11.
Updates for Windows 11 will be released in the next one to two months, but how the bot integration will be implemented is not reported. Judging by the insider information, ChatGPT will be fully integrated into the “Calendar”, “Mail” and other Microsoft services. Again, it is not known whether it is already in Windows 11 or still in the 12th.
Microsoft uses artificial intelligence algorithms now, but only to blur the background, auto-correct brightness when video calling, and filter noise and other tasks.
According to representatives of the company, with the help of ChatGPT for users, the line between a computer and a cloud platform will become almost invisible. Most likely, some of the data will be processed in the cloud since ChatGPT already uses the power of Microsoft Azure to work.

One support system your aging father or mother can gain as a veteran of the U.S. Military is compensation in the form of veteran financial assistance for assisted living or skilled nursing care. While this financial assistance is a benefit all veterans deserve, don’t forget to also evaluate additional ways you can support the emotional needs of your parent as both an aging adult and a veteran.
Many children often don’t realize the importance of an emotional support system for their parent as a veteran. Or, if they have seen signs that cause concern, they simply don’t know where to turn to find support.
Why PTSD Occurs As a Veteran Ages
It is not uncommon for older veterans to have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms even 50 or more years after their time of service. You may notice your parent is often tired due to not sleeping and having nightmares; he may be easily startled, or he’s reliving events from the past. You may also notice symptoms of depression and a loss of interest in activities.
The National Center for PTSD says there are a number of reasons why PTSD occurs with age, including:
- More time to think about memories and less distractions, such as they may have had with work and busy family lives
- Medical problems that make them feel as if they have lost their strength
- More time spent watching the news and seeing traumatic events that bring back memories
- The natural part of aging that involves looking back, reflecting on life and trying to make sense of experiences
Some veterans experience increasing stress as they age, known as Late-Onset Stress Symptomatology. If this occurs, it is important your parent gets support for his emotional needs.
Emotional Support for an Aging Veteran
Emotional support can be provided in a variety of ways, whether it’s through a veteran support group or resources you and your family can use to help provide support. Also, this may be the time to contact professionals experienced in working with veterans.
- Look to specially-trained professionals for support. At Maine Veterans’ Home, our team of specially-trained healthcare professionals work together with you and your parent to develop a customized plan based on your parent’s needs as an aging adult and a veteran. As a long-term care facility serving veterans, we understand the physical, emotional and mental needs and work closely with state and federal agencies, veterans’ service organizations, the Department of Veterans Administration, and local community organizations.
- Focus on brotherhood. Find opportunities for your parent to be surrounded by other veterans who understand him and with whom he feels a connection. Don’t underestimate the power and strength this bond can provide as an emotional support system.
“There is a sanctity and fraternity to military brotherhood that is nearly impermeable. This tight-knit bond and unwavering trust serves as a valuable survival skill and creates lifelong bonds that are almost unimaginable to those of us who have not walked in your boots,” writes Lida Citroën, who assists veterans in making a military-to-civilian transition.
- Equip yourself with resources. MakeTheConnection.net is a website where veterans and their families can connect through the experiences of other veterans. The site provides online information, resources and solutions to issues and challenges veterans may face. At Maine Veterans’ Home, our services include not only providing support to veterans, but also to their families.
- If a crisis arises, call a crisis line for veterans. The Veterans Crisis Line connects veterans in crisis and their families and friends with qualified, caring Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) responders through a confidential toll-free hotline, online chat, or text. Veterans and their loved ones can receive confidential support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Many Veterans Won’t Ask for Help
A RAND Corporation study from 2008 found that only 30 percent of veterans diagnosed with PTSD or depression sought help from the VA health system. That means the majority did not seek help from the professional organization set up to assist them.
This study was based on veterans having served since 2001; many predict the number is even higher for veterans who served decades ago.
Many veterans hide symptoms of mental illness from family and friends as they fear embarrassment, disappointment and a lack of understanding, amongst other things, according to an Army 2007 Mental Health Advisory Team IV study.
What’s even scarier is the high percentage of veterans whose emotional struggles increase as they age. Sadly, suicide rates for veterans increase with age. A Department of Veteran Affairs Suicide Report found that more than 69% of Veteran suicides are among those age 50 and older.
Provide Support Beyond Financial
Whether you’ve noticed changes or are helping your parent align living arrangements for needed care, don’t forget to consider what he, as a veteran, may need emotionally. While emotional scars are not as visible as physical, they are often more impactful and challenging. They require a lifetime of support.
At Maine Veterans’ Home, we are more than an assisted living, skilled nursing or long term care center. We are veterans’ advocates. We’re committed 24/7 to Maine’s veterans and their families.
We welcome you and your family to visit any one or all of our six locations throughout Maine, or to contact us for any additional resources you may need. Contact Maine Veterans’ Homes online or give us a call at 800-278-9494.
