Can Chiropractic Help Vertigo?
As a child you probably enjoyed spinning around, making yourself dizzy and falling to the ground enjoying the sensation. However, for people who suffer from vertigo, this feeling of dizziness lasts for a much longer time. Vertigo isn’t a game or a joking matter, it strikes when you are either standing still or in motion. Imagine feeling dizzy and disoriented while you’re driving, giving a speech or playing your favourite sport. This feeling of dizziness may also surface alongside nausea and intense sweating!
Contrary to common misconceptions, vertigo is not a disease; rather, it is a symptom of an underlying problem in the body. Vertigo is often the aftermath of:
- Head and neck trauma.
- Nervous system disorders, often due to disturbance in the pathways of the central nervous system (CNS)
- Inner ear problems
- Neurological disease such as a brain tumour or a stroke
- Problems in the spinal joints and/or ligament
- Misalignment in the C1 and C2 bones in the neck, known as Subluxation
Chiropractic Care is a way to Help Manage Vertigo
You’re probably tired of the symptoms of vertigo, and have consulted with every type of medical Doctor under the sun to resolve the sensation. You’ve tried medication, manoeuvres, coping tactics but it still persists. Don’t worry, we’re here to help.
Over the years, researchers have been exploring various treatment options for vertigo. So far, Chiropractic care has proved to be the most effective alternative options for various types of vertigo. In fact, one study revealed that vertigo patients experienced significant improvements in balance and neck pain after they received chiropractic care. Furthermore, the patients in the study felt significantly less dizzy and less disoriented after they’d received chiropractic care.

How Does Chiropractic Help Vertigo?
- Chiropractic Adjustments
Depending on the symptoms of vertigo, the Upper Cervical Chiropractor is likely to deliver an adjustment. The goal is to address the Upper Cervical spine, where you are most likely to have an injury and neurological dysfunction.
If there is an injury, it’s important to assess your Upper Cervical spine by an Upper Cervical Chiropractor to allow the healing process in the body. Specific Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to solving your vertigo problems. To learn more about this option, read this post titled, Why You Feel Better After A Chiropractic Adjustment.
- The Epley Maneuver
This vertigo treatment option is often employed when vertigo has been caused by problems in the inner ear. This technique involves changing the position of misplaced bone constituent parts (also known as otoconia). You can learn this procedure from an ENT, Physical Therapist or other Medical doctor that specialises in vertigo.

- Specific Exercises
If the vertigo is a symptom of ear problems, the Upper Cervical Chiropractor might recommend particular exercises. The physical exercises are designed to set off a healing process in the inner ear.
After an initial assessment, your Upper Cervical Chiropractor will decide the best course of action for you in managing the condition causing your vertigo.
- Lifestyle Adjustments
Sometimes, specific Chiropractors recommend lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments. This is especially the case if the patient’s lifestyle choices seem to be triggering episodes of vertigo. Below are some of the lifestyle changes your specific chiropractor might suggest:
- Get enough sleep
- Eat healthy foods (e.g. nuts, fruits, vegetables)
- Say no to processed foods, fatty foods, and pre-packaged foods)
- Avoid stressful situations
This option is often recommended alongside relaxation and breathing exercises. Upper cervical Chiropractors sometimes recommend these techniques because they can significantly reduce symptoms of vertigo.
If you’ve been feeling dizzy or disoriented, then you should consider getting consulted to see if Upper Cervical Chiropractic in Singapore can help you to manage vertigo. Research has shown that Chiropractic care provides clinically meaningful effects that last long term, without medication or surgery.

text: Published in 1925, this is an absolute gem of a book. From the author's preface: "In the following chapters I have tried, by quoting lawsuits of all kinds, and explaining the means employed to dispose of them, to show first the conditions under which the Bedouin live, and secondly their mentality and point of view. Although the reader may possibly gather from the pages that follow that I have a real affection for the Bedou himself and admiration for most of his laws and customs, I have tried to represent his character in full, with all his faults and failings. Descriptions of particular cases have been purposely introduced, showing unmistakably that Bedouin Law is no more infallible than any other law, and that in some cases justice is not done. But in the aggregate, it will be found that the Bedou with all his faults is a very loveable person, and his code of laws and customs is remarkable for its practical common sense."

Cryptohopper Review - Cryptohopper.com
All cryptocurrency traders know that making winning trades is the key to success. Many traders are turning to cryptocurrency trading bots to improve accuracy and make winning trades. One of the most popular crypto bots at the moment is Cryptohopper. This cryptocurrency trading bot strives to help traders maximize profits while minimizing loss. Here is a closer look at Cryptohopper and how it might help you trade Bitcoin and other tokens for greater profit.
There are a number of cryptocurrency trading bots on the market right now. Cryptohopper embraces empowerment as a fundamental principle of its trading bot program. Trading bots are software programs that a trader connects to their exchange account. The bot then executes trades on their behalf without the trader needing to manually initiate the trade.
It is important to note that Cryptohopper doesn’t guarantee traders a profit. It does allow traders to make more intelligent and informed trades based on proven trading strategies. Cryptohopper uses a set of algorithms that draw from historical data to predict market movements. It can do so with greater accuracy than most traders can do alone.
Cryptohopper was developed by two brothers who combined their knowledge of day trading and web development. The bot that they created works 24/7 on a variety of crypto exchanges. It is also compatible with many different crypto tokens such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. Cryptohopper uses APIs to connect to a user’s trading account and make trades.
The company behind Cryptohopper is based in Amsterdam and has been in business as Cryptohopper BV since July 2017. The company’s website doesn’t give much information about the company beyond that, and this may be a cause of concern to some who are thinking about buying the bot for trading.
The Cryptohopper bot is described as semi-automated, allowing users to embrace a wide number of customizations. As stated earlier, the company is not trying to replace the human trader. It is trying to empower users to learn about the crypto markets and make more informed trades. At the present time the company claims to have in excess of 75,000 users. Most customer reviews seem to be positive. There are currently 75 tokens supported by Cryptohopper as well as numerous exchanges including Coinbase Pro, Binance, and Kraken.
Let’s explore some of the features of Cryptohopper and what makes it a good choice for active investors of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The overall functionality of Cryptohopper is a big selling point for the company. Cryptohopper is web-based. It has a very user-friendly interface that most traders can master within a very short period of time. There are many functions of the bot that the trader can customize. These include the ability to use algorithms or social trading features.
The trading strategies that are used by Cryptohopper are derived from technical indicators such as Bollinger Bands and Moving Averages. It is also possible to configure the trading bot so that it will follow the advice of third-party trading experts. You can essentially model the trades that these experts are making and reap similar profits.
Cryptohopper uses API integration to provide semi-auotmated trading at numerous cryptocurrency exchanges. This is standard for all trading bots. The bot can be used with a desktop, laptop, tablet, or a mobile phone. We really like the options in this regard, as some trading bots cannot be managed with mobile devices.
Multiple tools are included with Cryptohopper that are designed to improve the trading experience. One of the most impressive tools is a backtesting application that can be used to analyze the effectiveness of trading strategies. There are also templates that are available, and these can be customized by the user. It is possible to set trailing stops with the bot, and this helps to minimize the risk of loss.
This trading bot is currently compatible with the following cryptocurrency exchanges:
- Binance Review
- Bitfinex Review
- Bittrex Review
- Coinbase Pro Review
- Kraken Review
- Poloniex Review
The company has stated that it also intends to announce support very soon for Bitstamp and other popular exchanges.
Cryptohopper does a decent job of providing customer service to its users. The company maintains an active social media presence with Facebook and Twitter accounts, and it also has a Telegram channel where users can interact and get responses to questions. The website has a large FAQ section, and users can also submit support tickets. Most tickets receive a response within a few hours.
Cryptohopper Pricing and Plans
Like many cryptocurrency trading bots that are available today, Cryptohopper is made available as a subscription. Users must maintain the subscription in order to use the service. Some bots have recently made the change to a one-time licensing fee, but subscriptions are still the standard. A 7-day free trial is available for those who are new to the bot, and no payment details are required to claim the free trial.
There are three subscription plans that range in price from $16.58 to $83.25 per month. The lowest of the three is priced competitively enough to encourage new bot users to try out the service. Here is a closer look at the features of each subscription level:
Cryptohopper Explorer – $16.58/Month
- 80 positions
- Supports 15 cryptocurrencies
- Can be run every ten minutes
- Offers basic support
Cryptohopper Adventure – $41.58/month
- 200 positions
- Supports 50 cryptocurrencies
- Can be run every five minutes
- Extended support
Cryptohopper Hero – $83.25/month
- 500 positions
- Supports 75 cryptocurrencies
- Can be run every two minutes
- Arbitrage support
- First line support
Cryptohopper Pros & Cons
- More affordable than other bots
- 7-day free trial
- Multiple exchanges and tokens supported
- Can be used with mobile devices
- Some customizations are limited
- Profit margins on some trades are low
Our View of Cryptohopper
Cryptohopper is a modest cryptocurrency trading bot that has decent success rates. It does not seem to be as robust as other bots in some areas, but features like being able to use the bot with a mobile device make up for that shortcoming.
Subscriptions to bots can be a pain, but we like that Cryptohopper makes its bot available for a 7-day free trial and also has a $19/month plan. That type of plan is perfect for the new bot user that wants to see what cryptocurrency trading bots are all about before they make a larger investment.
Cryptohopper uses technical data to develop trading strategies that are mildly profitable. It would be fair to say that some of the trades made with the bot offer a low profit potential, but in other cases the bot can achieve decent returns. We also like that the bot is designed to help traders sharpen their own skills so that they feel more comfortable trading on their own.

On April 30, BHS will participate in World Book Night*, an annual event where people give away special editions of great books for free. BHS has been awarded with 20 copies of 4 different books. Between now and the 30th, we will highlight each of these four titles. In this post, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, introduced by Ms. Stuart.
* The national day for World Book Night is April 23, which falls during school vacation.
You should all read The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and strive to acquire one on April 30th! This is Burlington’s World Book Night and there will be 20 copies of Perks up for grabs. Trust me, you WANT this book. This is Holden Caulfield meets Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars. Charley is a freshmen who feels lost, out of place, and like he has not quite found himself yet. Chbosky writes the entire novel in letters. Charley is writing to a friend that the reader does not know. Through his letters, Charley tells us about the drama of high school, his ups and downs, victories and failures. Charley is quiet and thoughtful and sometimes finds himself looking on from the outside. We have all had this “wallflower” type experience and can relate to how Charley feels as a shy freshmen. Once his new English teacher tells him to start “participating,” Charley realizes that there is a lot to experience. You will love his quiet, thoughtful, but incredibly honest insight into the world of high school and the challenges of life. He feels lost and like he can’t quite fit in like Holden Caulfield, but is also intelligent and sensitive like Augustus Waters. He worries about others and is careful with their feelings. Charley’s new friends share their love of music with him and we will share it with you if you are lucky enough to nab a copy on April 30th! The Devils’ Playlist has put together a “Perks Soundtrack” with many of the songs mentioned in the novel. You will love reading the book and listening to the bonus soundtrack of Charley’s experiences. Run, don’t walk to be one of the fortunate twenty to get The Perks of Being a Wallflower!

LONDON—British fraud prosecutors on Monday filed criminal fraud charges against two former London brokers, marking an expansion of the investigation into manipulation of the London interbank offered rate, or Libor.
The U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office said it charged Terry Farr and James Gilmour, who both used to work for interdealer broker R.P. Martin Holdings Ltd., with "conspiracy to defraud." The charges come after the agency last month filed similar charges against former UBS AG and Citigroup Inc. C +0.39% Citigroup Inc. U.S.: NYSE $50.91 +0.20 +0.39% Dec. 12, 2013 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 25.03M AFTER HOURS $50.90 -0.01 -0.02% Dec. 12, 2013 7:51 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 2.21M P/E Ratio 12.74 Market Cap $153.80 Billion Dividend Yield 0.08% Rev. per Employee $368,734 12/11/13 3-D Printing Stocks Catch Wall... 12/06/13 Los Angeles Sues Wells, Citigr... 12/05/13 Citibank Website Down for Seve... More quote details and news » trader Tom Hayes . All three men were arrested in the U.K. on the same day last December.
The Serious Fraud Office didn't detail the charges against Messrs. Farr and Gilmour, beyond saying that Mr. Gilmour was charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud and Mr. Farr was charged with two counts. The men, charged at a London police station Monday morning, are due to appear in a London court at a later date, the SFO said.
Libor: What You Need to Know
What it is: Libor—the London interbank offered rate benchmark—is supposed to measure the interest rates at which banks borrow from one another. It is based on data reported daily by banks. Other interest rate indexes, like the Euribor (euro interbank offered rate) and the Tibor (Tokyo interbank offered rate), function in a similar way.
Why it's important: Hundreds of trillions of dollars of securities and loans are linked to the Libor, including $350 trillion in swaps and $10 trillion in loans, including auto and home loans, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Even small movements—or inaccuracies—in the Libor affect investment returns and borrowing costs, for individuals, companies and professional investors.
Lawyers for Mr. Farr, 41 years old, and Mr. Gilmour, 48, couldn't immediately be reached for comment and have not previously commented. Mr. Hayes, who hasn't entered a plea, told The Wall Street Journal in a January text message that "this goes much much higher than me."
The charges against the former brokers underscore the expanding breadth of rate-rigging investigations. The probes initially focused on the efforts of bank traders to profit by manipulating Libor and other benchmarks, which underpin interest rates on trillions of dollars of financial contracts around the world. More recently, authorities also have been homing in on the alleged roles of interdealer brokers such as R.P. Martin, which serve as middlemen between financial institutions looking to buy or sell various products.
But the charges also highlight how the criminal cases that U.S. and British authorities have built thus far focus narrowly on a relatively small group of former traders and brokers. While regulators have said that Libor-rigging was rife across the financial industry, and that more than a dozen other institutions are under investigation, all four people who have been charged with crimes in the U.S. or Britain allegedly worked with each other.

British prosecutors said last month that the charges against Mr. Hayes relate to his alleged activities with the three brokerage firms, as well as seven banks.
Employees at some brokers helped bank traders rig Libor in multiple ways, authorities said in documents accompanying the UBS and RBS settlement agreements. To suit the desires of UBS and RBS traders, the brokers asked traders at other banks to move their daily Libor submissions up or down. Brokers sometimes disseminated inaccurate financial data in an attempt to influence banks' Libor submissions.
In return for their help, bankers sometimes rewarded their brokers with extra commissions or with so-called "wash trades," which are offsetting transactions designed to drum up commission payments for the brokers who handle them, according to the UBS and RBS settlement documents.
An R.P. Martin spokesman declined to comment and the company hasn't previously commented. Representatives of ICAP and Tullett Prebon weren't immediately available to comment.
The Libor investigation has cast a cloud over R.P. Martin, a small London broker that specializes in serving foreign-exchange traders. The firm, which in 2011 had pretax earnings of about £11 million, earlier this year suspended its chief executive and another top executive in connection to the Libor probe, according to a person familiar with the moves.
Monday's criminal charges indicate that British prosecutors, which launched their investigation last July, have leapfrogged ahead of the U.S., which has been conducting its investigation since 2008. The Justice Department last December filed criminal charges against Mr. Hayes and another former UBS trader. Prosecutors in both countries have said they are continuing to investigate.

I have actually constantly had an interest in the financial markets however, like the majority of us, I had no genuine concept how to break through the castle walls and in fact trade. The gatekeepers of Wall St. and The City have actually permanently been committed to keeping the masses at bay so they can charge their large trading fees (The Wolf of Wall Street — true story).

My performance over the past year. Past efficiency is not a sign of future outcomes. Trading history presented is less than 5 complete years and may not be enough as basis for investment decision. This is not financial investment guidance.

And here it is …
eToro would describe themselves as an accessible trading platform that incorporates a social component into investing. I ‘d explain them as Facebook for trading. They first went reside in 2006, and are now the world’s largest financial investment network with a community of 4.5 million users.
The platform and the broader phenomenon of social investing have actually been extensively covered by mainstream media, including a current BBC documentary called Traders: Millions by the Minute.
The most special function of eToro is most likely ‘CopyTrader’. This allows you to arrange through other users and plainly see their trading history, including how much they have made or lost over any given period. If you find someone you like the appearance of, you can assign some funds to instantly copy their trades.
Another big plus is the ‘Popular financiers’ program. This rewards users based on how many photo copiers they have in the form of monthly commission. The program also incentivises accountable trading, and we’ll discuss this in more depth towards completion of the guide.
So with the social and copying functions, you’ll certainly find out a great deal relatively rapidly! Most of the need-to-knows you’ll get by playing or reading this guide with a demo account. Etoro Zero Commission Review
Relax at the start and make certain you understand what you’re doing prior to investing bigger amounts of cash. Trading on eToro can be extremely rewarding but it is essential to note that, whenever you’re dealing with the markets, you can lose cash too (” your capital is at threat”)!

One of the most profound stories of hope and belief in the Quran is Surah Yusuf. Allah narrates the journey of a father’s unwavering hope and trust in His Divine Ability, which changed the course of history.
For years Yaqoob AS held onto the belief of his missing son returning back to him. It is his unshakable belief in Allah that sustained him through this insurmountable loss. He lost his eye sight due to shedding incessant tears for his lost child.However,despite his full faith,instead of getting his son back,he lost two more of his sons. So as if one was not enough, now three of his sons were missing.
But his reaction was remarkable. Let alone sink in an abyss of doubt and despair, he actually hoped that even though they went missing years apart, Allah would perhaps bring them back together. As things kept getting worse,his expectations kept going up.He never thought Allah’s help was far.Even though things went downhill one by one, he didn’t expect them to get better likewise. On the contrary, he actually believed that Allah would give him everything back at once. Consequently, Allah did not disappoint him. All three of his sons came back together, his eyesight was restored and entire Egypt was saved.
Hope or depair-both can be paralysing. Choose wisely.Choose hope. Choose faith. And allow it to cripple you, leave you incapable of feeling anything else.And then watch miracles unfold,right in front of your eyes.
While you are still trying to figure out a way to get started, I wanted to give you these three words. They are of tremendous benefits (I have listed them) and will get the ball rolling. You can download the images and save as wallpapers. Every time you use your phone you will automatically look at them- so within a day or two you will end up memorizing them, inshaAllah.
The most beloved deeds to Allah are those which are done consistently, even if they are small– Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
Because Islam is such an ocean of knowledge and so is the Quran, it can be pretty intimidating to think of where to begin. So the first bit of advice I would like to give you is, as far as learning and understanding the Quran is concerned, TAKE IT VERY LITTLE AT A TIME.Do not rush or stress yourself out there that you do know everything yet, or you do not how to recite properly yet. It’s okay. Our relation with the Quran is all about QUALITY AND NOT QUANTITY. The second thing is immediately as you become Muslim you feel that pressure of praying all prayers, correctly, like all the other Muslims pray in Arabic. It is quite a long journey. Take your time to memorize the surahs. Start with the small ones. EVEN IF IT TAKES YOU MONTHS, ITS FINE.
The question might arise why do we have to pray in Arabic? Why not in any other language?- I myself am not Arab. Majority of the people in the world are not Arab. We believe the Quran is the literal words of God, His exact words. So we consider the language of Quran sacred, because it is directly From God. So the language is part of its purity.
Finally what I want to share with you is reading a little bit about the meanings of the Quran, listening to the explanations of the Quran in translation, just keeping that going a little at a time is important, not only for new muslims but actually for every muslim. Just a little at a time, it will give you the spiritual boost and open your mind to thinking.
-Transcript From Nouman Ali Khan’s Lecture
But you are not no one. You are someone.
To the world you might be another voice, another of the eight billion lives. To the street you might be another passerby. To the tree you might be another lonely traveller taking in its shade. To the sky you might be another lonely soul staring at. To the vicinity you might be another…another noone.
But you are someone.To the mat on which you pray, you are someone. To the ground which quietly absorbs your tears when you are in sujood, you are someone. To the pillow which gently muffles your incessant hiccups and stiffles your sobs every night, you are someone. Above the skies, up in the heavens, in the gathering of the angels, you are someone.To the angels you are someone.
And to your Lord, you are someone.
Everytime you call upon Him when feel like you cant take it anymore, when the pain becomes too much and you beg Him for relief, you are not noone, you are someone. Every morning when He gently helps you get through one more day, to push through one more time, you are not noone. Everytime you call Allah you are not noone. You are someone. To the One who owns everything in the heavens and the earth, Who controls every matter, and yet loves you more than anyone ever can,you are not noone. You are someone.
You are someone. Above the heavens you are someone. And in the earth too.
Moving on from a tragedy does not necessarily have to involve shrugging off your emotions and desensitize yourself. Emotions are what makes us human. If something traumatising has happened to you and you can’t forget it, its okay. People will tell you to stop. May be because they love you and do not want to be in a state where they can not do anything to ease your pain. But don’t worry about it. They will be alright. Focus on yourself.Take a retreat if you need. Embrace the loss,live in the memories,feel the pain. Grief in its greyish hues is beautiful too.Take all the time you need to understand yourself. Your potential. You will be surprised to see how much pain you can take. How unbelievably strong Allah made you.
Then slowly you will get accustomed to the pain. The ache will eventually eat away lesser and lesser portion of you. Over time it will hurt less and less. Then one day you will feel joy again. You will stand in front of the mirror and gaze at the person you have grown to be. Stand in front of Allah in prayer in the middle of the night-but this time is out of overflowing gratitude and awe; as you present yourself in front of Him. As you recollect how He changed the course of events for you, took you to the world of relief and joy that you never knew existed. Gave you everything of which you had written yourself off.
Allah will teach you to love again,to experience joy again,to laugh again. One Day.
If you dress modestly but you hate it; if you smother your frustration in response to your parents even when you want to scream; if you continue to pray your prayers even though you wonder why you do them; if you would drink but you don’t; if you say no when you so badly want to say yes: it doesn’t make you a hypocrite. It doesn’t mean your belief is weak.
Your doing things even if you don’t want to, your not doing things even when you wish you could, for the sole reason of trying to live your life within the guidelines you believe have been set by God: that’s a testimony of the STRENGTH of your faith, not your lack of it.
Keep doing the right thing even when you’re frustrated with it. And ask God to give you strength to love it, understand it, and have a support system to help get you through it.
You’re not a weak believer. You’re not a hypocrite. You’re a spiritual warrior.
المجاهد هو من يجاهد نفسه على طاعة الله
“The warrior is the one who strives against his/her self in obedience to God, the Mighty and Majestic.” -Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) [At-Tirmidhi]
To the secretly struggling one,
The secret tears you shed
The secret prayers you pray
The secret duas you make
In those secret depths of the night
In those secret moments before breaking your secret fasts
In those secret good deeds you do
The secret sacrifices you make
The secret battles you fight
The secret temptations you resist
The secret desires you control
The secret scars you hide
The secret pains that rip you apart
The secret emptiness you feel
The secret melancholy in your void heart
The secret scream of your torn soul
The secret thirst to reach your destination
You are not alone. I am with you.
Lets raise our hands up together, because He is too Generous and too Shy to return them back to us empty (Narrated by Prophet Muhammad, may peace be upon him.)For verily, He is the best to respond to the distressed one when he calls on to Him.
(“Is He (not best) Who responds to the distressed one when he calls upon Him and removes the evil and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations? Is there any deity with Allah?” [Surat un-Naml 27:62])
A Struggling, Everyday Believer

I’ve recently started building stuff with NodeRED, which I really enjoy. Since I’m using MQTT as the central message bus for my system, I find myself regularly in need of knowing the current state of my MQTT topics. There are a couple of tools around, for instance MQTT.fx, which are specifically built for this purpose; but I found that MQTT.fx likes to cause high CPU load when the topic scanner thingy is running. So I’m looking for an alternative, and I thought, why not build it in NodeRED? So that’s what I did.

ChildAbuse and Violence
Child abuse and exploitation is a sad and sensitive issue in themodern world. It would be expected that after years of humanevolution, human beings would treat each other better. Sadly,children are the most vulnerable members of society are exposed toabuse constantly. Child abuse not only presents a major threat tothe health and well-being of a child but also impacts on the adultlife on that child. The US Child Protection Services defines childabuse and exploitation as any activity or situation that infringes onthe rights of a child as a human being. Thus, child rights should bepromoted and child abuse and abuse fought by all means. To highlightthe importance of this issue, I intend to define child rights andanswer what are the various types of child abuse? What are theireffects? And what are the prevalence levels? Thus, in this paper Ishall seek to provide basic information and create awareness in thegeneral public on child abuse and violence, the various types and theeffects of child abuse by drawing support from relevant sources.
First, it is important to differentiate between a child and adult.The word child is basically borrowed from the Latin word infanswhich means a person whodoes not speak. However, under the regular English languageunderstanding and as per the English law and the Convention on theRights of the Child of 1989, is anyone below the age of eighteen.Thus the discussion on child rights includes infants to teenagers whohave yet to attain the legal age of eighteen. Some countries may havedifferent caps on the legal age (Humanium.org 2016). Based on this,one may what makes the rights of a child different from the rights ofadults.
Child rights deserve particularinterest simply because of the vulnerable nature of children and aspart and parcel of basic human rights. Thus children’s rightsrecognize the basic human rights such as right to life, human dignityand non-discrimination. According to the United NationsChildren`s Emergency Fund (2016), therights also encompass economic and cultural rights such as access toeducation and decent living standards. The rights must also exist onthe individual and collective level. At the individual level a childhas the right to live with his or her parents, the right toprotection from any form of abuse, the right to food, childcare andhealth among others (Unicef 2016). On the collective level, childrenmust be protected from autochthonous groups, be guaranteed refugeestatus among others. Simply put, children rights are human rightsadapted to the needs of children highlighted by their vulnerabilityand fragility which demands protection.
There are four mainly recognizedcategories namely: physical, neglect, sexual and psychological. Thesedifferent forms of abuse are categorized based on the actualactivities involved and the effects that they have on children bothat the individual and collective level. Other forms of categorizationmay rely on the level of prevalence and geographic distribution ofthe same. However, for the purposes of this essay, I have examinedthe four main types. In total, the global prevalence rates of casesof child abuses have been on a decline as shown in fig 1
Figure1. Prevalence of child abuse (source:http://www.childtrends.org/?indicators=child-maltreatment)
The first type is the physicalabuse. This type of abuse involves physical assault on childrenincluding kicking, biting, punching, scalding threatening and evenburning. In most societies, a certain level of physical punishment orcorporal punishment such as whipping children has been socially andsometimes legally sanctioned as a form of disciplining children. Fromfigure 2 below, high prevalence of child abuse among non-Hispanicblacks and Native Americans may be explained by high prevalence ofsubstance abuse or socially acceptance of caning and other forms ofabuse as a disciplinary measure for children. However, in extremecases, it is perceived as child abuse. The Child Protection Servicesin the US reported about 612 cases of physical child abuse in 2012(CDC 2014).
Figure2 Child abuse by ethnic groups (source:http://www.childtrends.org/?indicators=child-maltreatment)
The other type of child abuse isneglect. This is defined as the lack of provision of parental care tochildren by parents or guardians. Parental care in this case involvesmoral and legal guidance, care love and support, as well as provingthe basic necessities such as food, housing and healthcare. Parentsor guardians may neglect children due to substance abuse or lack ofenough knowledge on the level of parental care needed. In the US,this is the most common form of child abuse with 78% of 3.4 millioncases of child abuse cases in 2012 pertaining to neglect (CDC 2014).
Psychological or emotional abuseis another common form of child abuse. All activities and behaviorstowards children that cause mental anguish or deficits are classifiedas psychological abuse. This form of abuse commonly follows otherforms of abuse such as physical and sexual. However, subtle acts suchas shouting, belittling and even mocking children can cause majormental disturbance in children. Other behaviors such as substanceabuse and family violence have a similar impact. The CDC (2014)reports the prevalence of the cases as per 2012 data at 11% of allchild abuse cases.
Sexual abuse is the other majorcategory of child abuse. This form of abuse not only involvesphysical sexual abuse but also sexual abuse by instilling certainharmful sexual beliefs. Sexual abuse if more common among girls thanboys and disabled children are up to seven times more likely tovictims of abuse than non-disabled children (Richardson &Williams 2008). This form of abuse is also likely to be perpetratedin organized from through child sex rings child phonography andchildren prostitution and trafficking. The prevalence in the US stoodat 9% of 3.4 million child abuses cases reported in 2012 (CDC 2014).
The symptoms of child abuse varyby category and by type perpetrator. Going by the CDC report widelyused in this paper, most of the perpetrators of child abuse are abuseat 80.3% of cases followed by 6.1% relatives and 4.2% of unmarriedpartners of parents. While it is possible that children as peers maysubject one another to abuse (3%) majority of child abuse is carriedout by adults (82%) with women (54%) being more likely to be involvedin child abuse compared to men (45%). Children aged less one year,who are also the most vulnerable and fragile are the largest victimsof child abuse at 21.9 per 1000 children. Again, girls are morelikely to be abused at 8.7 per 1000 compared to boys at 8.7 per 1000(CDC 2014). With such gender differences, the symptoms of abuseacross the gender divide and over time vary significantly.
There are general symptoms andother specific to type of abuse. General symptoms of child abuseinclude anxiety, depression, dissociation, difficulty concentrating,academic problems in school-aged children and adolescents, withdrawnand/or difficulty connecting with others, flashbacks and increasedhypervigilance. In cases of neglect, malnourishment, sores, woundsand general hygiene may indicate cases of negligent. In case ofphysical abuse, wounds, unexplained body marks, anger and physicaldevelopment issues may point to a child facing physical abuse. Moodswings, bed wetting, urine incontinence, excessively advanced sexualknowledge, behavior and language may point to cases of sexual abuse.Emotional abuse can be detected through emotional difficulties, useof abusive language and restlessness (Humanium.org 2014).
Symptoms of childhood abuse canbe manifested in adulthood in different ways. Adults who experiencedpsychological abuse in their childhood are likely to have mentalproblems and experience difficulties in establishing and maintainingrelationships both at personal and professional levels. They mostlymisinterpret clues and other people’s behaviors which generallyhamper how they interact with others. In adulthood, victims ofphysical abuse exhibit polarized behavior. They are likely to be shyand avoidant to exhibit aggressive and violent behavior. Men arelikely to violent compared to women. Victims of sexual abuse in theirchildhood are likely to exhibit Dissociative IdentityDisorder and other dissociative spectrum disorders. They are alsolikely to engage in self-harm attempt suicide and thus are alsoburdened by mental and physical challenges (Children’sbureau 2013).
In conclusion it is clear that child abuse is a complex issue. Commonbehaviors among adults and parents may inadvertently result in claimsof child abuse. However, it is important to always consider childrenas human beings with human rights like any another human being. Atthe same time, they rights should be adapted to their situationmainly fragility and vulnerability. The discussed symptoms of childabuse are critical in identifying cases of child abuse and the sametime promote better understanding for adults who suffered childhoodabuse. Thus, the paper has answered the question on prevalence, theeffects and the various forms of child abuse as intended by thepaper.

Students of New Jersey’s constitutional framework will appreciate that New Jersey’s governor enjoys a very high level of institutional authority. One manifestation is that she or he (with the lieutenant governor) is the only statewide elected official and appoints the attorney general, the state treasurer, and the state comptroller — offices that are separately elected in most other states.
This, in turn, gives rise to a series of governance issues that are unique to New Jersey. One of the most detrimental to good government, but least understood, is the peculiar concentration of legal counsel functions within the Department of Law and Public Safety under the attorney general by virtue of Executive Order 6 [issued by former Gov. Jim Florio).
Generally, public agencies need access to two broad types of legal services: representation in proceedings before courts or other quasi-judicial bodies (“legal representation”), and legal advice in handling day-to-day decisions and issues, from drafting regulations and interpreting legislation to negotiating contracts and disciplining employees (“legal counsel”).
Generally, in states with an elected attorney general, the attorney general is primarily responsible for legal representation while agencies reporting to the governor typically have legal divisions staffed with lawyers who provide legal counsel to the agency head and other managers.
By contrast, New Jersey law generally charges the attorney general — appointed by the governor — with providing both legal representation and legal counsel to all state agencies. Up until 1990, this unusual structure did not present too much of a challenge to the day-to-day management of state agencies, as agencies maintained independent legal staff who routinely interfaced with their counterparts in the Department of Law and Public Safety.
In March 1990, allegedly in response to a bitter dispute between the then-attorney general and an agency head, Florio issued Executive Order 6.
Although presented as a reaffirmation of existing roles and responsibilities in the name of “consistency” on legal matters, Executive Order 6 broadly asserted that the attorney general “shall have the sole authority to provide legal advice of any nature whatsoever to any State entity” and, most significantly, ordered the consolidation of all agency staff “giving legal advice” within the Department of Law and Public Safety and similarly barred state entities from creating or filling such legal positions. Over time, and with some exceptions, this has been interpreted and applied as a blanket prohibition on state agencies having their own legal staff. Instead, State agencies must rely on assigned assistant attorneys general and (now unionized) deputy attorneys general at the Department of Law and Public Safety for day-to-day legal counsel.
Unfortunately, the Executive Order 6 paradigm doesn’t work and has contributed to a debilitating governing culture that, despite the inexorable growth in compliance-related complexity both within and outside government, discounts the vital role of legal counsel in decision support.
In the real world, agency managers are obliged to make decisions with complex legal ramifications on a daily, even hourly basis. The attorneys at the Department of Law and Public Safety are generally competent and dedicated, but they have limited resources and simply cannot provide the immediate “line-of-scrimmage” legal counsel that is a prerequisite to informed decision-making. Some, indeed most, agency heads have developed informal “workarounds” that involve hiring lawyers in non-lawyer titles, but this is at best a poor substitute for access to sound and timely legal counsel. Too often, agency managers find themselves “flying blind” with respect to legal ramifications in making major decisions with lasting implications and potentially disastrous consequences.
Instead of promoting efficiency, Executive Order 6 has created bottlenecks. Frequently, agency staff (lawyers or not) with relevant experience and deep technical expertise must wait for attorneys at the Department of Law to come up to speed on an issue and almost inevitably “bless” their preliminary analysis, imposing delay and added costs on constituents waiting for permits, licenses, and approvals.
I strongly suspect that every major agency head and most, if not all, governors and their chief counsels subsequent to Florio would privately agree that Executive Order 6 is a managerial nightmare that warrants reexamination and revision.
So why is Executive Order 6 still in effect? Certainly, there has been the institutional opposition of the Department of Law and Public Safety, which can hardly be expected to welcome a perceived diminution of power. And, of course, who wants to waste political capital and argue for more lawyers in the face of potential criticism that agencies will waste money in building up unnecessary new legal bureaucracies?
In response, I can only assert my opinion, based on painful experience, that the cost of under-informed decisions has already far outweighed the incremental cost of providing accessible legal counsel to state agencies.

Asprolithos Villas is a three stone house complex, located in Kalo Livadi beach in the Cycladic island, Kythnos. The site is facing west and is overlooking the islands of Serifos and Syros. The 40 square meter houses are situated in such a way so each one of them can enjoy the magnificent Aegean sea view.
The houses have been constructed using local stone by local craftsmen and have been whitewashed as this is a most usual practice in Cyclades in order to achieve sun reflection and the best cooling conditions in the interior of the house.
Each house has its own private mini pool, which someone can enjoy during day or night since the pergola protects the exterior space from direct sunlight as well as strong wind. The division between the houses is quite loose, we wanted to give some privacy without creating stiff boundaries. It was a conscious choice to maintain a certain level of contact between the houses thus the dividing walls have holes through which light, wind and sound can penetrate and circulate.
The interior of the houses is divided in two levels, the lower one with the small kitchen and the living space and the upper level with the bedroom and bathroom. The color tones used are white and earthy while the materials are natural, such as wood, metal, cotton fabrics and ceramics.
The main entrance to the complex is a stone archway with is left in its natural color in order to stand out and also frame the white houses.
At the back of the houses a corridor is formed in such a way that the summer breeze can swirl around the houses but this corridor emphasizes on the view of the mountain which we consider equally lovely and important as the sea view.

By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
Mayor Lore Christopher dumped plenty of water on Keizer parks Monday evening.
Three members of the Keizer Parks and Recreation Advisory Board – chair Richard Walsh, vice chair Brandon Smith and departing member Rick Day – came to the Keizer City Council meeting on Monday to give an update on several projects.
The one garnering the most feedback was a plan by Parks Board members to have a public hearing in February to elicit feedback and comment from community members about what improvements they would like to see in Keizer’s parks.
Parks Board members planned to take that information and form recommendations for park improvements, which would be forwarded to the council. If approved by councilors, a payment plan would have gone to voters next fall.
At least, that was the plan coming into Monday evening.
By the end of the meeting, Parks Board members found themselves being asked to not touch the subject again until October, courtesy of statements by Christopher, who acknowledged her stance dumped “cold water” on plans.
Based on a recent e-mail exchange between Walsh and councilor Dennis Koho – as mentioned in the Keizertimes last week – regarding the issue, some fireworks were anticipated for Monday. Shortly before the meeting, however, Koho sent an e-mail that he was in the hospital.
“The hospital has kindly invited me to stay over a night or two,” Koho wrote. “Looks like I will miss council tonight.”
In a follow-up e-mail with the Keizertimes Tuesday morning, Koho gave some more information.
“I really wanted to be there but my doc told me to get (to the hospital) ASAP,” Koho wrote. “He was worried about a possible small stroke. No definitive word yet.”
With Koho absent, Parks Board members touched on several subjects before coming to the funding issue.
“It will be millions to do all the projects that are wanted done,” Walsh said. “There’s no way the city has those resources in our lifetime, so that started a dialogue. We also got the charge from this council in January to work on a long-range plan. We thought you wanted us to engage the community, which includes talking with the community. We looked at different ways and decided to have a public hearing.”
Walsh noted various funding mechanisms were discussed, including levies which can be no more than five years in length.
“It requires a public vote, which we’re fine with,” Walsh said. “But once you build things, if you don’t have a way to maintain it, that will suck money from departments like police. You would need a way to maintain, so we frowned on it.”
The favored approach was a fee – tentatively targeted at $2 per household – to pay for capital improvements and parks maintenance, with that fee being sent to the public for a vote next fall.
Day said the fee would raise an estimated $300,000 to $350,000 a year, in addition to the 3.2 percent of general fund money parks currently get.
“It’s badly needed,” said Day, who has completed three terms on the Parks Board. “That dollar figure is not crazy. If it’s $2 per house, $350,000 per year, it’s about one-third for maintenance and about 55 percent for equipment. You have to have a continuous cycle.”
Smith noted the majority of the Parks Board meetings for the past year have been focused on creating stable long-term parks financing.
“We wanted to have everything lined up first before going to council,” said Smith, himself a former councilor. “We want to have these improvements around forever.”
Christopher balked at the idea of adding something to the water bill.
“We did learn from last time we elected to collect a fee on the water bill, and that was the 9-1-1 bill,” Christopher said. “That election was 80-20 against. What I got from that was not just a no, but a hell no. I would never advocate adding anything to the water bill unless it was directly for water or sewer.”
The mayor agreed there is need for stable parks funding.
“Long term, we’re all concerned with parks financing,” she said. “We want to have financing for a capital improvement plan. What we weren’t prepared for was undertaking a huge project in the community build play structure, which takes a lot of community catalyst activity. My concern is we can’t take on two big projects at the same time. Let’s do the community build first.”
Christopher said she talked to a half-dozen people recently who felt the money raised for parks long-term would be used for the Keizer Rapids Park Playground Project.
“What I’m saying is I don’t think there’s the will on the council to take on two long-term projects, doing this simultaneous with the community build,” Christopher said. “They are getting mixed up. People think money on the water bill will go to the community build. It will be difficult to explain the two as separate issues. When the community build is done, we can look at this.
“I know that’s a little bit of cold water and I don’t mean it to be,” she added. “Let’s do the community build, then build upon that success.”
Walsh sought clarification.
“So what you’re telling me is, no, we’re not doing the election in 2014?” he asked.
Christopher confirmed that was correct.
“No, we are not doing the election in 2014,” she said.
Mayor noted she and Koho were for sure against it, then let other councilors speak.
“The community build has put the brakes on this,” said Marlene Quinn, who chairs the community build task force along with Walsh. “Trying to do this community build and the election is a lot to put on our plates. I agree with the mayor.”
Cathy Clark said she wanted more public input, while council president Joe Egli had a concern about how the process was handled.
“You guys have worked so hard, I hate to throw cold water on this,” Egli said. “I feel you already put the target out there with the tax. I feel like you’re getting the cart in front of the horse.”
Walsh emphasized plans were just being discussed.
“In my mind, we were getting a general idea range people might be okay with,” he said. “We purposely did not have specific ideas. That’s why we left it open. If all the people came to the hearing and we don’t need anything, then fine. Nothing was set in stone. I’m sorry if the impression came out the other way. We noted clearly we hadn’t heard from the people yet.”
Christopher suggested the hearing be moved back several months.
“So schedule it for October of next year,” she said. “Complete the community build, then talk about the capital improvement plan.”
Day respectfully disagreed with the idea things can’t be done at the same time.
“We have 60 to 120 initiatives in my business this year,” said Day, owner of Advantage Precast. “I hear you mayor, but I feel we can do more than one project. Parks are massively underfunded.”

Hilliard police Lt. David Plesich recently completed the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Va.
"It was a terrific experience," said Plesich, 48.
He said the networking opportunities with other officers would prove as valuable as the classroom training he received.
"I can pick up a phone and call a police chief in Atlantic City or a captain in Boise, Idaho, and ask, 'What is your department doing about this problem ... or that problem?' " Plesich said.
"I was able to meet and learn from officers from all over the world ... and departments of all sizes. There were officers from NYPD, LAPD and officers from departments of fewer than 20 officers."
Chief Doug Francis and Deputy Chief Bobby Fisher nominated Plesich, who was vetted before being accepted as one of 221 members from 23 different countries of the FBI National Academy Class No. 256.
Plesich is one of the only members of the Hilliard Division of Police to graduate from the academy. Retired chief Rodney Garnett graduated from the academy in 1996, and ThisWeek was unable to identify any others.
Fisher said Plesich was nominated because of his leadership role in the department, and his knowledge will benefit the department and the community.
Plesich attended the FBI academy from Jan. 20 to March 28, attending classes 40 hours a week and completing a fitness challenge.
The fitness challenge at the FBI Academy began in 1981.
Since 1988, those who completed the final but optional test of the fitness challenge receive a yellow brick. The course itself is known as the "Yellow Brick Road" and is a 6.1-mile run on a hilly, wooded trail, on which runners must climb walls, crawl under wire, climb a cargo net, cross creeks and maneuver around other obstacles, according to the FBI.
The academic portion of the academy included instruction in behavioral science, forensic science, leadership development and communication, including working with the media, Plesich said.
In workgroups, each officer was asked to share a story about a specific investigation so others could learn from the procedure and tactics of the investigation, Plesich said.
Some of the classes dealt with profiling and creating a plausible identity for a suspect based on the committed crime, including studying terrorism, Plesich said.
Plesich said he was working with the Hilliard chiefs to schedule a "leadership development series" to share what he learned with the department's other officers. The series likely will be in early May.
Plesich is a graduate of the Ohio State University and joined the Hilliard Division of Police in 1987.
"I applied at Hilliard and Columbus. The first one that called would be the first one to get me," and the call came from Hilliard, Plesich said.
Plesich was promoted to sergeant in 1995 and lieutenant in 2012. In between, he graduated in 2006 with a law degree from Capital University.

If only I could tell them I feel just the same.
Whatever is the problem, whatever is on your mind,

Manager Ricardo Moniz was delighted to claim his first Notts win, but is cautious that the job hasn’t been completed yet…
The Dutchman’s squad claimed a vital three points with a 2-1 win over Doncaster Rovers, a win that helped lift them out of the drop zone and a step closer to League One safety.
He told the local media post-match that his side nearly gave him a heart-attack as they conceded a late goal, but admitted his side was more efficient despite having less possession than recent games.
He told Magpie Player: “The defence deserved the win. They responded.
“The early goal was needed, we had the initiative, but they came back into the game after 30 minutes. We weren’t organised and we must do that better.
“They had two distance shots and they can play, we made it 2-0 and didn’t do what we said and we concede and almost gave me a heart attack!
“We had a free-kick and we must stay behind the ball, we lost our discipline.
“The second goal was crucial, both goals set up by Burke. Creativity is always important. He showed everyone he can play football, but he has a lot to learn. He was efficient and deciding for us.
“We didn’t have much of the ball, but we were more efficient.
“Everyone must be on board for Sunday, we must wait to see what happens in midweek, today is a good feeling, but we aren’t safe yet and we have to remain focussed.”

The game library is no longer the sole basis of players when choosing an online casino. Bitcoin casino software and solutions now play integral roles.
When looking at various online casinos, a lot of Bitcoin gamblers check for various factors to gauge whether or not a place is worth playing at. These factors can range from casino bonuses to the registration process. One of the big factors that should not be ignored by potential gamblers, however, are the Bitcoin casino software and solutions used, which can make or break a player’s casino experience.
The difference it makes
The Bitcoin online gaming environment is rather unique. For one, there are a lot of independent developers around. This is because Bitcoin allows for small gambling sites to exist. Easy transactions that provide both security and anonymity allow websites to offer gambling without licenses or prohibitive transaction fees. Many people have seen the advantages of Bitcoin when it comes to gambling and have set up their own sites accordingly.
If a gambler wants to go beyond the single-game websites, though, they will need to go to the bigger online casinos like BitStarz and mBit Casino. These sites operate with full licenses and regulation. This means that they need to meet a certain level of competency. This is where game and software developers step in.
To be profitable, many casinos outsource their software and game development from other companies. There is a noticeable difference when a person plays in these casinos compared to betting on gaming sites that offer only one or two games. For one, these developers often do not just provide games, but the entire platform for which a site operates. This includes account registration, banking, and other aspects of how an online casino is run—in short, the complete suite of turnkey solutions. Different developers have different approaches, but all of them do so in a professional manner.
Moreover, games designed by expert developers have a more professional look to them than others. There are distinct characteristics when comparing professionally developed games with independently developed game sites. They have better graphics and have often gone through rigorous testing to ensure that they do not have any bugs that would cause problems for the players. They also tend to go beyond basic gameplay and often present a unique game experience.
Online gamblers often have their favorite developers, and newbies in the online gambling world will soon develop a preference on which developer that they like most. Some of the biggest names in casino development are SoftSwiss, UltraPlay, Microgaming, and NetEnt. Each has contracts with various casinos, enabling them to provide a wide range of games and solutions that stand out in the online gambling world.
Different developers offer different features for their clients. For instance, Microgaming’s premier offering is the Viper software, a downloadable casino platform that ensures players have quick access and a secure way to play games. It also features Bitcoin games through the Quickfire platform, enabling players to bet on the popular Microgaming games using bitcoins. Other game developers like NetEnt, BetSoft, and Endorphina also constantly produce top-quality games.
Bitcoin casino software platform developers like SoftSwiss, on the other hand, also have licenses and certifications that can prove their products are trustworthy. Its cutting-edge technology leads the Bitcoin casino market, and this is reflected in the collection of top Bitcoin casinos operating on SoftSwiss. Meanwhile, UltraPlay also makes a name for itself as it specializes in sports betting and eSports.
Online gamblers can look at these crypto casino platforms to guide their choice of where to play. With the many choices out there, the features, reliability, and technology become the core factors that help players decide which Bitcoin casinos to spend most of their time and bets on.

Hello, I am looking at cats and came aross a 5 month old boy that has a very mild case of CH, and a very tiny girl kitten that has a VERY severe case. Having recently lost my first cat to a fatal illness, I want to make sure CH only effects mobility and is not linked to any other illness. Also, I want to make sure cats with CH do not require expensive meds or treatments. The boy cat, Kenny Dance, lurches a bit when he gets excited, but otherwise he was active and got around just fine. He flipped his bed over onto himself, it was funny. The little girl meowed at me when I went to put her back, which made me want to take her right that second, but she's too small.

Appeal from the Circuit Court of the 10th Judicial Circuit, Peoria County, Illinois. Nos. 88-TX-52, 89-TX-89, 90-TX-54, 90-TX-55, 90-TX-56. Honorable Robert J. Cashen, Judge, Presiding.
Rehearing Denied and Released for Publication March 8, 1994. As Corrected April 1, 1994.
Present - Honorable Peg Breslin, Justice, Honorable Tom M. Lytton, Justice, Honorable Michael P. Mccuskey, Justice
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Lytton
JUSTICE LYTTON delivered the opinion of the court:
This consolidated appeal involves five separate petitions for sales in error brought by petitioner, Dean L. Johnson (Johnson), pursuant to the Revenue Act of 1939, 35 ILCS 205/1 et seq. (West 1992) (Act). The trial court granted petitioner's request for sale in error on all of the parcels, and respondent, the People of the State of Illinois ex rel. Edward T. O'Connor, Treasurer and ex-officio Collector of the County of Peoria (Collector), appeals. We reverse.
For purposes of organization, we will refer to the five petitions by their trial court docket numbers. The parties have stipulated to certain facts concerning the dates the parcels were purchased and the dates the petitions for sale in error were filed: (1) 88-TX-52, parcels purchased on 12/16/85; petition filed on 8/24/88; (2) 89-TX-89, parcels purchased on 12/15/86; petition filed on 8/8/89; (3) 90-TX-54, parcels purchased on 12/7/87; petition filed on 7/24/90; (4) 90-TX-55, parcels purchased on 12/16/85; petition filed on 7/24/90; (5) 90-TX-56, parcels purchased on 12/15/86; petition filed on 7/24/90.
Pursuant to 35 ILCS 205/260 (West 1992), a tax purchaser may pursue a declaration for a sale in error if the property is subject to certain enumerated occurrences. In the instant case, there were two occurrences alleged by Johnson under section 260: that a substantial destruction to the improvements of the property occurred after the tax sale, and that the property was the subject of a bankruptcy petition filed after the tax sale. Johnson also alleged grounds for a sale in error pursuant to 35 ILCS 205/271.1 (West 1992), which allows a tax purchaser to pursue a sale in error if the property is subject to a municipal lien. The Collector does not contest the validity of these grounds.
The Collector argues that the trial court erred in applying a five-year statute of limitations to the petitions for sale in error pursuant to Burroughs v. Tazewell County (1982), 110 Ill. App. 3d 464, 442 N.E.2d 623, appeal denied 92 Ill. 2d 574. He contends that Johnson failed to surrender his certificates of purchase (which are issued to a tax purchaser for each year's delinquent taxes paid on each property) and neglected to complete the sale in error proceedings within the time prescribed for taking out a tax deed, which is one year following the expiration of the two-year redemption period pursuant to 35 ILCS 205/271 (West 1992); because Johnson failed to satisfy these statutory requirements, the certificates of purchase became null and void by operation of law.
Johnson responds that the trial court was correct in applying a five-year statute of limitations pursuant to Burroughs, claiming that the Collector's reading of section 271 is incorrect because this section is only a limitation on tax deeds and the certificates of purchase that underlie them. He contends that section 271 cannot be read as a limitation on a party's ability to petition for a sale in error because sales in error are not addressed in that section.
We agree with Johnson that the statute of limitations is five years, so the issue before this court is whether the time requirements for acquiring a tax deed under section 271 are applicable to petitions for sale in error.
Generally, and for purposes of our Discussion, a property owner who has a right to redemption must redeem the property within two years after the date of the tax sale. (35 ILCS 205/253(b) (West 1992).) The period of redemption may be extended by the certificate holder to three years after the date of the tax sale pursuant to 35 ILCS 205/263 (West 1992). Absent an extension of the redemption period, a certificate holder must take out a tax deed within three years after the date of the tax sale. In the instant case, Johnson did not extend the redemption period. Therefore, under section 271, he was required to take out a tax deed within one year after the expiration of the redemption period.
The procedures for acquiring a declaration for a sale in error are contained in sections 260 and 271.1. Section 260 provides, in relevant part,
"Whenever upon application of the county collector, tax purchaser or a municipality which owns or has owned the property ordered sold it shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of the court which ordered the property sold * * * solely upon application of the tax purchaser that such a voluntary or involuntary [bankruptcy] petition has been filed subsequent to the tax sale and prior to the issuance of the tax deed, or solely upon application of the tax purchaser that the improvements upon property sold have been substantially destroyed or rendered uninhabitable or otherwise unfit for occupancy subsequent to the tax sale and prior to the issuance of a tax deed * * * the court which ordered the property sold shall declare such sale to be a sale in error * * * and the county collector shall, on demand of the owner of the certificate of such sale, refund the amount paid, pay any interest and costs as may be ordered pursuant to Section 260.1 of this Act, and cancel such certificate so far as it relates to such tract or lots." 35 ILCS 205/260 (West 1992).
Thus, section 260 delineates who may apply for a sale in error, where and on what grounds the application must be made, when these grounds must occur, and the county collector's responsibilities in ...


Former Bluffton High softball pitcher Courtney Smith was recently recognized by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) for her performance at Limestone College as a senior this season, the school’s athletic site announced on Tuesday.
Smith earned the Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Year award in April, and was recognized with the same honor by the D2CCA.
She holds the seventh lowest ERA in the country (1.02) according to GoLimeStoneSaints.com, and recorded a 21-3 season on the mound. She threw eight complete games, had five shutouts and went 10-0 in conference play this season.
Nationally ranked in several categories, she has seven total shutouts, is 36th in strikeouts (163) and has 21 wins (19th).
Smith was also named to the 2016 Conference Carolinas All-Tournament Team after starting 15 games for the Saints. She had an 11-4 record in that season with eight complete games, five saves and a 2.47 overall ERA for a 6-2 conference record.
She previously helped the Bobcats reach the SCHSL Class AAAA softball state final in 2014, where the Bobcats lost to Byrnes in a three-game series.

Check out this GEM from the ‘Night of the Living Dreads’ tour, where Head and Munky from Korn, joined their co-headliners on stage for a rendition of Diamond Head’s “Am I Evil“. Brian ‘Head’ Welch, who writes a weekly column called ‘Head’s Korner’ for Loudwire, said about the tour “Man, these shows have been off the charts! We are playing smaller cities and you can feel how hungry all these fans are for rock music because not many concerts come to town for them. The energy has been incredible!”

Lifted from her new seven-track album titled ‘Love hard’, California R&B singer SIMONE TELEASE presents single, ‘Do you?’ produced prod by Pdub The Producer.
Speaking of her latest release, Simone says: “This song is a tale of best friends turned lovers gone wrong. When I first began this project, I flew back home to Oakland, California. I was hoping to draw inspiration from this man I was madly in love with. This project was supposed to come from a good place. We were best friends turned lovers, and I just knew he would be my happily ever after.
We literally had been close friends since high school. He took me to my very first prom, and I had my very first slow dance with him. There was a lot of history there. A couple months later after I returned back to Atlanta, he ended up ripping my heart to shreds when He ghosted me and got a girlfriend. He didn’t even have the nerve to tell me, I had to find out through social media, and that’s what really broke my heart. So I texted him and told him goodbye forever and that at this point, we cant even be friends anymore..but, as much as I hate to say it, I still miss him, and I guess he will always have a special place in my heart.”
Be sure to check out Simone’s album ‘Love Hard’ on your favourite music provider…but for now, wrap your ears around ‘Do You?’ below…

Encodes an inositol polyphosphate 5' phosphatase (5PTase) that is required for the proper recruitment of cells into developing vascular tissue in leaves and cotyledons. It is most similar to Type I 5PTases that are known to cleave a phosphate from IP3 or IP4. cvp2 mutants have elevated levels of IP3 and are hypersensitive to ABA in seed germination assays.
Encodes an RNA Slicer that selectively recruits microRNAs and siRNAs. There is currently no evidence that AGO1 Slicer is in a high molecular weight RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Mutants are defective in post-transcriptional gene silencing and have pleiotropic developmental and morphological defects. Through its action on the regulation of ARF17 expression, the protein regulates genes involved at the cross talk between auxin and light signaling during adventitious root development. AGO1 seems to be targeted for degradation by silencing suppressor F-box-containing proteins from Turnip yellow virus and Cucurbit aphid-borne yellow virus.
Encodes a peroxisomal protein involved in the activation of fatty acids through esterification with CoA. At4g05160 preferentially activates fatty acids with medium chain length (C6:0 and C7:0) as well as even-numbered long-chain fatty acids (C14:0, C16:0 and C18:0). At4g05160 was also able to catalyze the conversion of OPC-6:0 to its CoA ester and is therefore thought to be involved in the peroxisomal β-oxidation steps of jasmonic acid biosynthesis.
Encodes a protein with similarity to carotenoid cleaving deoxygenases, the enzymes that cleave beta-carotene. Involved in the production of a graft transmissable signal to suppress axillary branching. Protein is localized to chloroplast stroma and expressed primarily in root tip. Mutants in the gene exhibit increased shoot branching, and light-dependent defects in hook opening and hypocotyl/root elongation. Only upregulated by auxin in the root and hypocotyl, and this is not required for the inhibition of shoot branching.
4-coumarate--CoA ligase family protein / 4-coumaroyl-CoA synthase family protein
Encodes a peroxisomal protein involved in the activation of fatty acids through esterification with CoA. At5g63380 preferentially activates fatty acids with increased chain length (C9:0 to C8:0) and thus shares characteristics with long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthases. Also able to catalyze the conversion of OPDA to its CoA ester and is therefore thought to be involved in the peroxisomal β-oxidation steps of jasmonic acid biosynthesis.
ettin (ett) mutations have pleiotropic effects on Arabidopsis flower development, causing increases in perianth organ number, decreases in stamen number and anther formation, and apical-basal patterning defects in the gynoecium. The ETTIN gene encodes a protein with homology to DNA binding proteins which bind to auxin response elements. ETT transcript is expressed throughout stage 1 floral meristems and subsequently resolves to a complex pattern within petal, stamen and carpel primordia. ETT probably functions to impart regional identity in floral meristems that affects perianth organ number spacing, stamen formation, and regional differentiation in stamens and the gynoecium. During stage 5, ETT expression appears in a ring at the top of the floral meristem before morphological appearance of the gynoecium, consistent with the proposal that ETT is involved in prepatterning apical and basal boundaries in the gynoecium primordium. It is a target of the ta-siRNA tasiR-ARF.
The chemical reactions and pathways involving any hormone, naturally occurring substances secreted by specialized cells that affects the metabolism or behavior of other cells possessing functional receptors for the hormone.
