- More than 110 health staff and industry stakeholders attend summit to explore ways to stop violence against health staff
- A 38 per cent increase in assaults on nurses in our health system between 2017 and 2018
The Western Australian Government will host a summit today to identify strategies to address the increasing levels of violence against frontline health staff across the WA system.
Health Minister Roger Cook convened the Stop the Violence Summit in response to rising rates of violence and aggression against frontline health staff in the WA public health system.
It will bring together health leaders, frontline health staff and representatives from WA Police, St John Ambulance, the mental health, drug and alcohol sectors as well as unions and health consumers to make recommendations for action to the State Government.
Statistics show an alarming 38 per cent increase in assaults on nurses in particular in the WA health system, which represents a jump from 703 incidents in the second half of 2017 to 971 incidents during the same period in 2018.
The discussion is expected to explore a range of issues, including current security measures, the powers of security officers, public education, and other key priority areas which may boost staff safety.
The Department of Health will compile a report on the summit's findings and present it to the Minister for consideration.
This latest initiative strengthens the McGowan Government's commitment to protect health staff, which has included $2.2 million to purchase protective equipment and a $76.4 million (8.4 per cent) increase in mental health, alcohol and other drug service expenditure.
Comments attributed to Health Minister Roger Cook:
"Assaulting health staff is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. I am appalled by the rise in acts of violence and aggression, people who behave like this are not welcome in our public hospitals.
"Violence against health staff has wide-ranging consequences which impact the psychological and physical wellbeing of staff, patients and visitors and, in some instances, puts health care provision at risk.
"The frontline staff who work in our public hospitals perform a vital role, they do an incredible job and should be treated with the utmost respect. Any act of violence against staff who are there to care for people is disgraceful.
"WA hospitals are already working hard to support and protect staff from violent and aggressive behaviour but we know that more needs to be done.
"This summit will bring together expert opinion and experience to galvanise further action surrounding this important issue.

It’s well known that we have parliamentary and district elections coming up on May 7. (Or at least it ought to be.) Perhaps less well known is the fact that local parish council elections are being held on that day as well. But who cares? Everyone knows that parish councils are made up of interfering busybodies, toffs, weirdos and village idiots – right? Certainly you could be forgiven for thinking so if the portrayals of parish councillors in television’s The Casual Vacancy and The Vicar of Dibley are to be believed. Sadly, the reality in King’s Sutton is somewhat more mundane. We are actually very lucky to have a team of relatively well-adjusted, competent and highly skilled people on our parish council who give their time freely for the benefit of everyone else living in the village.
In recent years, King’s Sutton Parish Council has worked with local councils, central government agencies and other volunteers within the community to:
What You Can Do to Help
Have you ever enjoyed being part of a community fundraising effort? Do you care what happens to your local community? Do you like to take part in lively debate? Have you ever thought you could use your skills for the benefit of others? Or do you simply think you could do a better job than the current lot sitting on the parish council?
Even if you’ve done none of these things yet, we need more energetic, skilled and community-minded people (like you maybe) to throw their hats into the ring. There are now vacancies for parish councillors in the village and April 9, 2015 – the deadline to receive nominations for May’s elections – is fast approaching.
We would urge you to come to the open evening hosted by King’s Sutton Parish Council in the Millennium Memorial Hall at 18:30 on March 19, 2015 to find out whether joining the council would suit you. If nothing else, you’ll come away with a better understanding of what we do and how you could bring your skills to the table. And who knows? You may just discover that standing for election to the parish council could make a positive change to your life and the lives of others in the village.

BEAUMONT, TX – Part of a busy athletic Saturday for the University of Iowa included volleyball action in the Lamar Cardinal Classic down in Southeast Texas. The Hawkeyes were ready for action and defeated the Tigers of Grambling State, 3-0.
After starting the match an hour later than scheduled, the Hawkeye volleyball team was anxious to take the court. They turned that energy into a 14-2 lead early on. Iowa continued to build the lead to 21-7, but Grambling State stole a few points the aid of some big hits and Iowa mistakes. Chelsey Garrett served an ace to put the score at 28-14, but Grambling State earned a side-out and another point with a double-block. Iowa earned the 30-15 on a Tiger attacking error.
Grambling State served up a quick 7-2 lead in game two with the help of outside hitter Lacey Cormier who punished the Hawkeyes twice in a row at the net. Iowa shortened the gap to 9-7 on strong blocking and costly errors by Grambling State. Laura Simpson and Garrett teamed up for a kill to turn the tide back to the Iowa side, and Huguelet and Carolyn Giese followed with a successful double-block. The Hawk’s lead was 24-21 when Garrett quick set Giese for a tip that fell in the middle of five Tiger defenders. Justeen Patton came into the Iowa lineup and jump served the final point in the 30-24 win.
In the third game, Iowa went ahead 22-16 when the Tigers started to make things happen on their side of the net. Grambling State’s Latasha Smith had consecutive kills to bring her team within five points, 23-18, when Simpson hammered down for an Iowa side-out. Tiana Costanzo took a set from Patton home for a successful kill to put Iowa on top 28-22 and Giese closed out the game with her 12th kill of the match to earn the 30-24 victory.
Giese and Simpson each had 12 kills to lead the Hawkeyes, who has a team had a .179 hitting percentage. Garrett did the majority of the setting for a total of 34 kills. Costanzo had 12 digs to go along with her four service aces. Pam Kavadas also had three ace serves. The Hawks had 12 blocks compared to just four by the Tigers.
“I was really happy with the plays from our middle blockers because we really need to get that position established. Laura and Carolyn lead the team in kills and that great,” said Iowa coach Cindy Fredrick. “Our serving was also much improved. Tiana and Pam especially did a good job of keeping them out of their offense.”
Iowa (5-1) has one more match tonight at 7:30 p.m. against host school Lamar University. Next Tuesday, the Hawkeyes face Creighton University in Iowa City and next weekend host the Holiday Inn-Hawkeye Challenge.

On the eve of recessions in 1990, 2001 and 2007, many Wall Street economists economists proclaimed the U.S. was on the cusp of achieving a soft landing, in which interest-rate increases corralled inflation without causing a recession.
Since World War II, economists say, the U.S. has achieved only one durable soft landing, in 1995. “We steered the economy very expertly, but in addition, we were lucky. Nothing bad happened,” said Alan Blinder, an economist who was Fed vice chair from 1994-96.
Here is what could go wrong this time.
First, if the Fed holds rates too high for too long, it would risk an unnecessarily severe downturn.
The economy stays too hot
Energy prices take off
A financial-market mishap. The Fed held interest rates near zero for seven years after the 2008-09 financial crisis and lifted them to still-historically-low levels in the years before the pandemic brought rates back to zero. As a result, some financial firms and businesses might have made investments or plans that counted on rates staying much lower for longer.
JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Jamie Dimon warned of risks posed by large, widening U.S. budget deficits that have to be financed by investors at the same time the Fed is shrinking its $8.1 trillion asset portfolio of government securities.

"WARREN J. BELCHER, OI HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO THE WHITNEY MFG. 00., F HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF. CONNECTICUT.
DRIVE CHAIN AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME.
Application filed November 1, 1921. Serial No. 512,052.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WARREN J. Brmcrmn, acitizen of the United States residing at Hartford, in the county of Ifartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in, Drive Chains and Methods of Making the Same, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in drive or transmiss on chains of that character or type comprising side plates or links provided with transverse members by which the side plates or llIlkS are connected to eachv other to make up the chain structure, and particularly contemplates improved means, and the method of effecting the same, for rigidly connecting a transverse member, either in the form of a pin or bushing, to a side plate or link,
whereby the latter and sald transverse memher are rigidly and securely un1ted.
The invention consists in the improved article and method to be more fully described hereinafter, and the novelty of which will be particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed.
I have fully and clearly illustrated the.
invention in the accom anying drawings to be taken as a part of t is specification, and wherein Figure 1 is a view in front elevation of a chain side plate of one form to whlch my invention is applicable;
Fig. 2 is a view in side elevatlon of a transverse member in the form of a pin adapted to be assembled with the plate shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an end view of the transverse member shown in. Fig. 2'
Fig. 4 is a view'in side elevation of the plate shown in Fig. 1, showing the transverse member or pm in assembled relation thereto at an intermediate stage in the assembling operation;
Fig. 5 is a view in side elevation ofthe side plate shown in Fig. 4, but having the pin removed from the opening therein;
Fig. 6 is a view in side elevation of the side plate shown in Figs. 4.- and 5, but 50 viewed from the opposite face, as shown in said figures;
Fig. 7 is a view on the line 7-7 of F1 9;
ig. 8 is a viets in side elevation showing the side plate and transverse member the latter in end elevation when in completed assembled relation;
Fig. '9 is a section on the line 9-9 of Fig. 8;
F'1g. 10 1s a view in side elevation of an embodlment of the invention, wherein the Y transverse member comprises a tubular member or bushing, as distinguished from a solid pin member;
Fig. 11 is a view in side elevation of a bushing member as employed in the form of the invention shown in F i 10, and
Fig. 12 is an end view 0 the bushing member shown in Fi 11.
Referring to the Erawings by characters of reference, 1 designates a side plate or link of a chain member of the'well-known sprocket type, the same consisting of an intermediate portion 2 and end heads 3, 3, each of the latter containing a central circular opening 4. I desire it understood that the invention is illustrated inconnection with a side-plate or link of a sprocket chain of well-known type merely by way of example, and is not to be limited to such type, as it is applicable with equal facility to any chain wherein a transverse member is rigidly fixed in a chain side plate or its equivalent.
5 designates one end portion of a transverse connecting member, the same consisting of a pin, including a cylindrical art 6 and an end part 7, the latter being a apted to'be seated in one of the openings 4 in the side platel. The end portion 7 is formed with a plurality of flat faces 8, in the present embodiment being six in number, said faces being of equal transverse width and arranged symmetrically in such relation that the pin is formed with a hexagonal polyfaced end portion, as will be clearly understood from Figures 2 and 3 of the drawings. The hexagonal end portion of the pin member at its outer end is of a diameter between opposite faces 8 substantially equal to the diameter of the opening 4, but said hexagonal portion is slightly tapered from a shoulder 9 at its base toward the extreme end 10 of the pin. The extreme end of the hexagonal portion ofthe pin is preferably chamfered. off, as at 11, in order to facilitate centering of the same relative to the opening 4 when the parts are to be assembled. When the pin is to be assembled in the opening 4 of the plate 1, said plate is held ri idly, in
' any suitable manner, and the endo the pin 5 set ad'acent to the opening 4 and centered relativ y to the latter, whereupon sufficient pressure is applied to the pin longitudinally of the latter to force the same into position within said opening. The pressure necessary to force the pin into the opening may be six (6) tons or more, and is effected, if desired, by a hydraulic press. The length of the hexagonal or polyfaced end portion of the pin is such that the extremeend portion will project preferably beyond one face of the side plate when the shoulder 9 is brought up against the opposite face of the plate. By this operation, the metal of the wall of the openin 4 is forced to conform to the form of the pol yfaced head of the pin and the latter is held strongly and rigidly in said opening by the friction resulting. The act of forcing the pin in place results in the outer face of the plate-that is, that face from which the poly-faced end of the pin projects,
' being given the novel formation shown in Figs. 4 and 5--that is, with recesses 12 located at and spanning the angles between the polyfaced faces 8, and intervening projec tions 13 which conform to and engage said faces 8, respectively, at portions intermediate the angles between said faces. This is due to displacement of the metal of the plate by the cutting edges formed at the,
angles on the pin between the faces 8. It wil be seen, upon examination of Figs. 4;, 5, 6 and 7, that the opening 4 at its end portion adjacent the shoulder 9 is hexagonal or pol faced and conforms to the pin 5, and
that t. e recesses 12 are formed at the ends of the angles or corners at which the polyfaced walls of the opening 4 join. The projecting end .of the pin may then'be riveted,
over, as at 13, on the outside of theside plate or link,'so that the metal of the pin 1n being headed is thrown over, as at 14, and enters said recesses 12, and the pin is held not only against longitudinal displacement, but also against turning inthe opening 4, the metal portions 14 of the pin entering the recesses 12 acting as keys. It will be understoodthat the riveting can be accomplished with the pin either hot or cold? In the form shown in Figs. 10 to 12, inelusive, the invention is applied to the assembling of bushings or tubular members instead of pins, in connection with a side plate or link. In this case, due to the thinness of the bushing wall, it is desirable to use more faces than are used on a solid pin, in order to prevent distortion of the bushing when the latter is forced into the opening 4.: under heavy pressure, for example,
the polyfaced end of the bushing may have ten faces arran ed symmetrically. However, when the ushing is centered in the opening and forced into place, the wall of the opening conforms to the polyfaced end -of the bushing. In this embodiment of the invention, the peculiar recesses 12 do not result, due to the fact that by the use of a larger number of faces on the bushing the angle between said faces is not sufficient to cause the displacement of the metal of the sideiplate resulting in such recesses. It will also be understood that in this case the bushing is not riveted over into place as is done when the transverse member consists of a solid pm.
What I claim ,and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. The method of uniting side plates and transverse members of a chain, which consists in providing a plate with a circular opening, and a transverse member with a polyfaced end portion, the diameter of the transverse member between opposite faces being substantially equal to the diameter of said opening, and forcing said polyfaced portion into said opening under sufficient pressure tov cause the wall of said opening to conform to the saidpolyfaced portion.
2. The method of uniting side plates and transverse members of a chain, which consists in providing a plate with a circular opening, and a transverse member with a tapered polyfaced end portion, the diameter of the transverse member at its outer end and between opposite faces being substantially equal to the diameter of said opening, and forcing said polyfaced portion into said opening under sufiicient pressure to cause the wall of said opening to conform to the said polyfaced portion.
3. The method of uniting side plates and transverse members of a chain, which consists in providing a plate with a circular opening, and a transverse member with a polyfaced end portion chamfered at its extreme end, the diameter of the transverse member between opposite faces being substantially equal to the diameter of said opening, and forcing said polyfaced portion into said opening under sufficient pressure to cause the wall of said opening to conform to the said polyfaced portion.
4. The method of uniting side plates and transverse members of a chain, which consists in providing a plate with a circular opening, and a transverse member with a tapered polyfaced end portion bevelled at its extreme end the diameter of the transverse member at its outer end and between opposite faces being substantially equal to the diameter of said opening, and forcing said pol faced portion into said opening under suficient pressure to cause the wall of said opening to conform to the said polyfaced portion.
5. The method of uniting late and transverse members of a chain, w ich consists in .of recesses in said plate about said 1,1s11,eaa
providing a plate with a circular opening and said member with a polyfaced end portion, the diameter of said member between opposite faces being substantially equal to the diameter of the 0 ening in the plate forcing said polyface portion into said opening under suflicient pressure to cause the wall of said opening to conform to the said polyfaced portion and to form a plurality member, and moving the metal of said member laterally into said recesses.
6. The method of uniting a side plate and a transverse chain member, which consists in forming a side plate with a circular opening, formlng a transverse member with an end portion having a plurality of flat faces of equal width and arranged symmetrically at angles to each other, the diameter of said member between opposite faces being sub stantially equal to the diameter of said opening, and forcing said end portion into said opening under sufficient pressure to cause the o ning to conform to said end portion. 7. he method of unitin side plates and transverse members of a c ain, which consists in providing a plate with an opening, and a transverse member with a polyfaced end portion, and forcing said polyfaoed portion into said opening under sufficient ressure to cause said transverse member to he held therein, and riveting over the end of said transverse member. 8. In combination, a chain side plate or link having a polyfaced opening, and a transverse member having a cylindrical art and a polyfaced end portion tapered romthe cylindrical portion and recelved within and conforming to said polyfaced opening and frictionally held therein.
9. In combination, a chain side plate having a polyfaced opening, and a transverse member having a cylindrical part and an end portion having a plurality of faces forming shoulders with said cylindrical part, said end portion being received within said opening and conforming thereto with said shoulders engaging said plate, the end of said member being riveted over.
10. A chain side plate or link having a polyfaced opening, a transverse member having a correspondingly polyfaced end portionseated in said opening and held therein by friction, recesses at the angles between the faces of said opening, and the transverse member being riveted. over so that the metal thereof is deposited in said recesses.
11. A chain side plate or link having an opening havin of equal widt arranged symmetrically at angles to each other about the center of the opening, a transverse member having a corres on ingly formed end portion seated in sai opening and held therein by friction, recesses in'the wall of said opening at the angles between said fiat faces, said member being riveted over so that the metal thereof is deposited in said recesses.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto a wall composed of flat faces signed my name in the presence of two sub scribing witnesses.

Kitaj. Obsessions, englischTogether with his artist friends Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud and Leon Kossoff, the American artist R. B. Kitaj was one of the pioneers of a new type of figurative art in the 1960s.
Ten years later, in the mid-1970s, Kitaj positioned himself as a Jewish artist and saw himself as an instigator of a modern Jewish art movement. It is worth rediscovering the importance of this aspect of Kitaj's oeuvre. Strong colours and a wealth of motifs and pictorial citations, which add to the mystery of the painting, are characteristic of all his works.

[Editor’s Note: The second in a three-part series, this article picks up right where Part I leaves off and continues the discussion on student loan debt-borrowing and repayment. In the article below, it is presumed that the reader has borrowed FEDERAL student loan debt for the purpose of completing a legal education.]
Recently, I shared with you a little bit about my legal education journey, my acquisition of student loan debt, and my goal and strategies toward repayment. If you have not already done so, I suggest that you read that post prior to reading this one, to familiarize yourself with what has been discussed thus far.
Student loan debt has plagued our nation and continues to be a front-line topic in recent political debate. In the past five years, much legislation has been passed on this issue and much more is still being debated on the state and federal level. Recent legislation includes the elimination of government-subsidized Stafford Loans for graduate students and the temporary elimination of the long-standing interest subsidy during the six month post-graduation grace period. Likewise, the interest rate rebates given to borrowers who make their first 12 monthly payments on time has been temporarily eliminated. Over the past five years, there has been a surge in repayment options ranging from unemployment deferment to income-based repayment plans, as well as public service and public interest repayment and forgiveness options. I am extremely grateful for the work being done on the national and state level to assist students like myself who are plagued with student loans.
I firmly believe that student loan debt repayment can be managed if borrowers are better informed about their rights and responsibilities. It is not my aim to tell borrowers how to immediately rid themselves of student loans (anyone who knows this secret, please do share it with me). However, I hope to share with the readers some of the lessons that myself, my former law school classmates, and my colleagues say that we wish we had known about student loan borrowing and repayment. As I stated in my previous article, debt is debt and student loans must be repaid.
1. Be Realistic
If you are funding your lifestyle with massive debt, it is important to consider the implication of each major financial decision that you undertake. At this point, it is probably too late to dwell on whether attending law school and/or spending a semester abroad was a smart decision. However, going forward, consider whether it would be rational to obtain yet another degree funded with student loans or to take a cross-country “discovering myself” European tour. Take a closer look at your complete financial picture and be realistic when making major financial decisions, especially if eliminating student loan debt is a concern or priority of yours. Also be realistic in your efforts to repay your student loans—do not become over-zealous in your efforts so as to sacrifice your health, sanity, and well-being.
2. Consider Part-Time or Contractual Employment
The first piece of advice often given in the area of personal finance and managing debt is “earn more, spend less.” In other words, find ways to increase your income while reducing your expenses. In Part I, we briefly discussed ways to reduce expenses. Here, however, we will discuss ways to generate additional streams of income.
Looking back at my law school experience, I would urge current law students to consider paid part-time work while enrolled in law school,but only to the extent that doing so would not compromise the law school experience or cause the borrower to neglect his/her academic duties. Working part-time should not necessarily entail clocking in hours at a company. Be creative! Can you afford to tutor youths at a nearby school? Can you babysit for a couple who needs one or two date nights a month? Are you a comedian or entertainer or do you have special photography or MC’ing skills? Can you contribute written pieces to an online or print publication or can you review books and company products? These skills can be tapped into as a source of additional income to support your day-to-day living. Keep in mind that the American Bar Association (ABA) stipulates that a full-time law student may not work in excess of 20 hours per week.
The advice above is not limited to law school students; the notion of “earning more and spending less” is applicable to law school graduates who want to eliminate their student loan debt. A law license arms attorneys with a plethora of income-generating opportunities. Among these are the opportunities to develop a side solo practice, draft legal documents periodically, edit bar review or bar exam essays, teach at a nearby community college or university, or contribute to an online or print legal publication. Be creative as you seek ways to generate additional sources of income!
3. Begin Repayment ASAP
Borrowers do not have to wait until graduation or until the grace period is up to begin making payments on student loans. If you elect to begin repayment prior to the scheduled repayment day, the primary focus should be on repaying the principal first. As with other forms of debt, remember that paying the monthly minimum is not always the smartest move to make. If it is financially feasible for you to devote more funds towards the elimination of your student loan debt, consider paying more than the monthly minimum amount due.
A concept that I recently adopted was that of treating my debts as a utility bill. I would not go a month without paying my electric, gas, or water bill. Why then should I go a month without paying on my student loan debt?
4. Pay Attention During Exit Counseling
Prior to law school graduation, all federal student loan borrowers are required to complete an Exit Counseling session. During this session, each borrower will be instructed on the borrower’s rights and responsibilities as it relates to their student loans. Additionally, borrowers are provided with useful tips and information on how to manage student loan repayment post-graduation.
I urge all borrowers to pay attention during this session for a number of reasons. First, during this session, you will most likely receive a print-out of all of your federal loans (undergraduate and graduate). This print-out will include the principal balance of each loan, the amount of interest accumulated on each of your loans to date, the name of your lender and servicer, and the repayment status of each loan. Personally, this was my first time seeing all of my federal student loan debt (balance and interest) listed cumulatively. Second, because this session is federally mandated, the instructor should be well-versed on all legislative changes related to student loans, and will likely be abreast of all proposed legislation in this area. This is your opportunity, as a borrower, to ask a knowledgeable professional about your rights, responsibilities and repayment/loan forgiveness options. Third, as a component to the exit counseling, most law schools will include a brief discussion on personal finance with focus on debt-management and budgeting. All in all, pay attention during exit counseling and periodically review the materials provided to you during the session.
5. Flee from Bar Study Loans
A new trend among law school students is to borrow a bar study or bar exam loan prior to graduation. These loans are traditionally given for the purpose of assisting graduating law students with bar exam related expenses including payment for exam preparation course, exam registration costs, housing and living expenses, licensing fees, etc. Students are likely taking these loans as a cushion, just in case finding post-graduation employment takes a while longer than expected. Before electing to borrow a bar study loan, be certain to inquire of the lender and understand their responses to the following questions: (1) what is the interest rate; (2) is there a grace period, and if so, what is the grace period; (3) are there any loan fees (repayment or disbursement or reserve fees) and if so, can these fees be waived; (4) what is the repayment term; (5) when must repayment begin; (6) are there any repayment incentives; (7) what is the loan limit; (8) is there a prepayment penalty; and (9) is your individual credit history and credit score sufficient to qualify for this loan or would you need a co-signer?
To the extent possible, I would advise graduating law students to flee from bar exam or bar study loans. These are private loans and their interest rates are traditionally variable (and typically higher than those of federal student loans). Furthermore, your bar loan cannot be included in your federal student loan consolidation package and the various repayment plans may not be available. Speak with your financial aid counselor about other scholarship or borrowing options before resorting to bar exam/ bar study loans.
6. You Do Not Have to Consolidate
Caveat: the information discussed in this section applies primarily to FEDERAL student loans (Direct and FFEL Stafford subsidized, unsubsidized and PLUS), and not necessarily to private loans or Perkins loans.
As a student loan borrower, you will frequently hear the term “consolidation” being used when discussing student loan repayment. Consolidation is a process whereby a borrower works with his/her lenders to combine all or a select number of his/her student loans into one new loan with the hope that the monthly payments and interest rates will be reduced. For federal student loan consolidation, all of the borrower’s student loans are combined into one package (a new loan) with a fixed rate for the life of the loan. What does this mean for the borrower? This means that rather than having to make separate monthly payments to different creditors each month, the borrower can make one payment to one lender. This also means that the borrower creates a new loan with a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan without the hassle of undergoing a credit check or obtaining a co-signer.
Before one elects to consolidate, it is important to understand the implication of this decision, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of consolidation. Among the most-frequently cited reasons why borrowers consolidate are convenience and cost-savings. As mentioned earlier, by consolidating, a borrower will only have to make one payment a month (unless the borrower elected to do several consolidations or elected to exclude certain loans from his/her consolidation package). When loans are consolidated, the fixed interest rate of the new loan is based on the weighted average of the interest rates on the loans being consolidated. In exchange for the borrower making lower monthly payments (extending the repayment life of the loan), the borrower will pay more on the debt due to the continued accruing interest. Once loans are consolidated, they cannot be removed. Therefore, it is important for a borrower to ensure that the cost-savings being offered are actually beneficial to the borrower.
For borrowers who are currently receiving borrower benefits on their original loans, bear in mind that some of these benefits may be lost if and when the loans are consolidated. Before consolidating, make sure that the benefits you will gain from consolidation will outweigh the benefits that you currently retain if the loan debts are kept in their original form (interest rate discounts, principal rebates, and any other previously acquired cancellation benefits).
Additionally, it would be wise to inquire into the following matters before undertaking consolidation. First, how is the previously acquired interest being treated when all the loans are consolidated? In other words, will the principal and interest retain their separate identities or are they capitalized in creating the new loan? Second, if and when making “extra” monthly payments, can you direct the money to “principal only” or “interest only” portions of the loan? Third, does the lender charge a prepayment penalty or fee to individuals who elect to pay the loan off before the term of the loan?
Personally, I am not an advocate of student loan consolidation because I do not believe that stretching out the repayment period of a loan or refinancing the loan at a mildly lower interest rate in exchange for a lower monthly payment is the wise loan repayment strategy. The truth of the matter is that while consolidation may help a borrower attain a lower monthly payment, that borrower will accumulate several thousand dollars of additional interest (“debt”) as a result of extending the life of the loan.
In deciding whether to consolidate or not, borrows should keep in mind the following four pivotal points. First, if you are struggling to make your monthly payments, talk to the lender about their various deferment options or repayment plans (we will discuss these in part III of this series). Second, if you have federal student loans, the interest rates are now fixed (and have been since July 1, 2006) so your concern should not be having higher interest rates than the current market rates. Third, if you want additional time to pay your loan, keep in mind that the longer it takes you to pay the loan, the more money you will have to pay back as a result of the accruing interest. Fourth, if you are tired of the hassle of making multiple student loan payments each month, consider setting the student loan repayment on an automated withdrawal from your bank account.
Another reason why I am not an advocate of student loan consolidation is because of my belief that “debt can be handled if you break it down into smaller repayment pieces.” By keeping your loans separate, the borrower can target the debt with the highest interest rate for accelerated repayment (making extra payments on this debt with any available funds) while paying the minimum on all other student loan debt. This debt elimination strategy is often called the avalanche approach. Conversely, a borrower can target the debt with the smallest balance and once paid off, can divert that money to the next smallest debt and so forth. Why the smallest balance, you may ask? Some individuals find it the most rewarding because of the perceived “small victories”—it fuels motivation and re-energizes a commitment to rid oneself of debt. Whichever strategy (avalanche or snowball) works for you, adopt it and stick with it.
7. Take Advantage of Education Tax Incentives
Attaining a law degree is an expensive endeavor, but don’t worry, the federal government knows this as well. Consequently, there are several tax incentives available to individuals paying and/or borrowing to pay for education related expenses. We will focus on two in particular in this article, although I will advise that borrowers visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website and/or speak with a tax professional.
The first tax incentive worth pointing out is the student loan interest deduction. If your modified gross income is less than $75,000 (or $150,000 if filing a joint return), the IRS grants a special deduction for the student loan interest that you paid during the year. This deduction can reduce the amount of your income subject to taxes by up to $2,500 per year. The second tax incentive worth discussing is the lifetime learning credit. This tax benefit provides that an individual can claim a lifetime learning credit of up to $2,000 for qualified educational expenses paid while enrolled at an educational institutional.
Keep in mind that these are just two of the tax benefits available for education. Law school students and graduates should inquire into other tax benefits such as the tuition and fees deduction and business deductions for work-related education.
8. No Matter What, Do Not Avoid Your Lenders/Servicers
Please, whatever you do, stay in contact with your lender. Report all changes of your address and other contact information. Open and read every mail and email sent to you by your lender or servicer. If repayment gets burdensome or impossible, contact your lender immediately to discuss your options. Do not dodge or ignore your lender or servicer or their collection agency representatives. Keep in mind that ignoring your lender and not paying your debt can lead to serious, severe, long-term financial consequences.
As I conclude part II of this three-part series, it is my hope that the information presented is useful and informative. I do not attest to know the ins and outs of student loan borrowing and repayment. Like many borrowers, I am learning as I go along the process and I invite you to share your experiences and information learned with me, as well as our readers. Join me in part III as I conclude with a detailed discussion of the various repayment plans available to federal student loan borrowers.

The Ukip MEP hilariously referenced several Abba songs as he explained how the EU’s budget will “bring down” the bloc after Brexit.
Speaking in European Parliament on Monday, Mr Woolfe said: “In 1976 Abba released its famous song ‘Money Money Money’ with its lyrics ‘it must be funny living in a rich man’s world’.
“Well, Mr Oettinger, you and the European Union must have adopted Abba’s song as the new EU anthem.
“As the UK leaves the EU, instead of cutting the budget, you increase it by £192bn to £1.135trn. It is this lack of economic sense that will bring down the EU and the euro.”
Brexit news: UK MEP Steven Woolfe said the EU's budget will "bring down" the bloc
You and the European Union must have adopted Abba’s song as the new EU anthem
Mr Woolfe continued: "Instead of dealing with 25 percent of EU poverty and social funds, you increase an EU army budget. Instead of closing the borders in 2014 you increased now the cost of immigration and asylum to Europe by 392 percent. The EU’s problem is that you think there is a magic money tree. There isn’t.
"If you don’t spend less, maybe the EU and other countries within the EU will adopt another song by Abba – ‘SOS’ or like the UK ‘Hasta Mañana’."
British officials have been allowed to help decide the EU’s next £1trn budget as the country continues to pour money into the bloc after Brexit despite fierce opposition from Brussels bosses.
One EU official said: “We have told member states that Britain is only using the Multiannual Financial Framework to influence rules defining third-country participation.”
The plan has also dismayed Brexiteers as Bill Cash, chairman of the Commons European scrutiny committee, who said: “This is the type of trickery that the EU gets up to.
“We have agreed to pay £39billion to get out of the EU’s treaty structure. Taking part in these budget talks risks ensnaring us again.”
Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg said: “While we might be comfortable supporting a small number of limited projects that were in our common interest I think it very strange that we would want to participate in the whole multi-annual framework.”
The EU budget is a seven-year spending programme in which member states decide on the total amount of contributions and how the money will be spent.
Britain pays in £12.2bn a year and most European governments believe it will continue to pay into the EU budget after Brexit as an “entrance fee” into the single market.

Is it anxiety???
Okay, here is my story....
I'm a 24 year old female, 5'3 about 145lbs. I guess you can say I'm fairly healthy, about three years ago I was put on Lamsil for a few months. I had such bad side effects that I ended up not finishing the dosage, during that time I started having all these kind of symptoms. I didn't eat for like 2 weeks and lost 20 lbs, I was afraid of sleeping, I would cry for no reason whatsoever and I had this huge fear that I was dying.
I went to a doctor who said the symptoms where not related to the pills and were probably caused from stress or anxiety. They eventually went away but about 6 months later I started up with other symptoms...my left arm would go numb, not completely numb but it just felt numb...i would get a numb like feeling in my face too, I kept thinking I had cancer or was going to die. I went to another doctor, explained the symptoms...he ran a blood tests and everything came back fine. He even ran a CT scan of my head to make sure and it all came back normal...he said it was stress/anxiety. That was about 3 years ago, and I was fine up until a few days ago.
Now, I've been on vacation for the last few months...having no school and no job it leaves me alot of time to think. My uncle passed away in December, a high school teacher of mine passed away about a month ago...I feel like I might not have really grieved but all the symptoms have returned. I feel like the left side of my face goes numb but I can still feel everything, that slight numbness in my arm...the constant fear that I might have cancer or am going to die young. I get slight discomfort in my left eye, the more I think about it the more it bothers me though. I know I have to think about other things but I cant help it...I also have this constant feeling that I am going to die young, like I can't picture myself 20 or 30 years older. I am so afraid that it is going to come true, I just don't know what to do.

A native Italian and former international model who lived in Miami, New York City, and Milan as part of his modeling career, in 2011 Michele discovered his true passion resided far away from the cameras of modeling and jet-set lifestyle. He then started running ultramarathons and in January 2012 he won a 50-mile race through the Everglades in South Florida, and since then, has won virtually every race he has entered.
Specializing in trail and extreme races through some of the most demanding terrain on Earth, Michele has run over 30 ultras to date, including several 100 miles or longer, including a "sub-24" finish at the grueling Leadville 100 in Colorado (2013), a win at the UltraMilano-Sanremo, a breakthrough 2nd place overall finish at the highly competitive Angeles Crest 100 in California (2014) and another strong win and Course Record on the Alps at the Cro-Trail in France/Italy (2015)! In 2016 Michele won the Yukon Arctic Ultra, in the frozen northern regions of the Canadian Arctic Circle with temperatures dropping to -40' degrees Fahrenheit. Then, with his 2018 win at Badwater135, the "world's toughest ultramarathon", right through Death Valley (California) with temperatures reaching up to 130' degrees Fahrenheit, he became the first person to win both the Coldest and the Hottest races on the Planet.
That same year, Michele set out to cross on foot the 4 most extreme environments on the Planet: In 2018 he ran the 1.000km (600 miles) of the Atacama Desert in Chile (driest desert) in 8 days and 12 hours, setting a new Guinness World Record for the fastest crossing. In 2019 he then crossed the 1.700km (1.100 miles) of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia (windiest desert)in 23 days and 8 hours, with a pending GW Record. The next two chapters involve the crossing of Antarctica and the Sahara desert (when Covid will allow it).
Michele found running as a means to pursue adventure and exploration in the most primal and simple way. No matter the weather, the conditions, the terrains... From a very young age his family instilled in him a deep passion for the outdoors, especially for the mountains. He sees running as wild and free, connecting with nature in a pure, simple, almost primal state. He considers it as a meditative and introspective experience.
In a highly demanding, fast paced and always-connected society, running offered an outlet, it represented an escape. Running became a means to dedicate and reconnect with himself and with wild places.
He now resides in Big Bear Lake, California where he balances his life between ultra running, yoga teaching, guiding hikes, endurance coaching, nutritional planning, and being a dedicated husband to his beautiful wife Lauren... and "dad" to a white fluffy pup named Charles."
