Intimate relationships are supposed to be a safe place. Your spouse is supposed to be your partner, who shelters you from danger and provides you with love and stability. However, that love and stability might falter when your spouse is an addict in some cases. Suppose a partner or spouse becomes addicted to drugs. In that case, it can result in emotional upheaval, negativity, chaotic decisions that affect the family, a lack of trust, conflict over parental responsibilities, and even violence.
If you are worried about your spouse potentially abusing drugs, you might be asking: what to do if your spouse is an addict? Knowing what to do if your spouse is an addict means knowing:
- The signs of addiction to verify that your spouse exhibits them
- The ways you can help your spouse
- The best way to talk to your spouse about their addiction and rehabilitation
What are the Signs Your Spouse is Abusing Drugs?
In 2015 over 138 million Americans reported alcohol use, and 66.7 million reported binge drinking regularly. 7.7 million adults used illicit drugs, and 22 million used marijuana.
Learning how to deal with a drug addict is not easy, but it starts with recognizing the signs of abuse. No matter how the addiction started, what is essential today is recognizing the signs your spouse is abusing drugs. Every couple is unique so that the signs might be different depending on your circumstances. They can include things like:
- Money disappearing without any explanation is something that is harder to identify if you are unaware of how much money your spouse makes or if you don’t have joint accounts.
- Paraphernalia for drugs and alcohol hidden around your home.
- A spouse who spends a lot of time “with friends” instead of with you or specifically likes to socialize without you.
- A spouse who puts the lives of their children or significant others at risk because of their behavior while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
What to do if Your Spouse is an Addict?
If you believe that your spouse is an addict and you are not at risk for violence, emotional abuse, or openly using drugs at home, there are some steps you can follow:
Ask for help
Firstly, ask for help. This help can come from trusted family members or friends, a physician, recovery resources, or counselors. You might get help from a therapist who can facilitate better communication and help you make sure you are not accidentally encouraging behavior when you are trying to demonstrate support.
Show your support
If your spouse is open about their addiction and they mentioned wanting to participate in any type of support program or recovery program, go with them where you can. Attend things like 12-step meetings, encourage them to read literature, and seek more intense detoxification or inpatient rehab where appropriate.
Care for yourself
Throughout this process, don’t forget to take care of yourself as well. Being married to someone who is struggling with addiction can be incredibly exhausting mentally, physically, and emotionally. You need to make sure you put the mask on yourself before you can help someone else.
Learn about addiction
If you have a spouse doing drugs, you might also wonder about how to live with an addicted spouse, and in that case, family therapy might be one solution. Participating in family therapy with your spouse, especially if you can do so while they are in rehab, can give you a lot of information about addiction.
How to Convince Your Spouse to Seek Help with Addiction?
Learning what to do if your spouse is an addict can help you decide how to help them best, like staging an intervention or finding a rehab facility.
If you are worried about a spouse abusing drugs, you might ask a professional about how to help your husband with addiction, like staging an intervention. An intervention is often a great opportunity for families to come together and explain how addiction is hurting them. If your spouse is showing signs of addiction, you can work with a professional to set up an intervention at their office or at a location that might be more comfortable for your spouse, like your home.
You can address your spouse directly, telling them how their addiction has affected you during that time. A big part of preparing for things like an intervention includes knowing where your spouse might be directed if they agree to rehab.
It’s recommended that you have a rehab facility on hand so that if your attempts to convince your spouse to seek help with their addiction are effective, you can transition smoothly into a reliable rehab facility. Ocean Coast offers residential and detox treatment in Huntington Beach for co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression, or trauma. If your spouse needs initial detoxification, Ocean Coast can assist them through their withdrawals with medications to help ease the symptoms. They can transition smoothly into a residential inpatient program and, when they leave, continue to receive aftercare.
So, if you are asking, ‘what to do if your spouse is an addict,’ rest assured that help is available. Let Ocean Coast help you when your spouse is an addict. Ocean Coast Recovery Center is a rehab in Southern California that provides inpatient addiction treatment in Huntington Beach, CA.

Mumbai, March 10 (IANS) Shilpa Shetty has denied reports that she has been booted out from the second run of her successful West End musical, "Miss Bollywood".
A report in Mumbai Mirror said that the show's promoter Farhath Hussain, who organises Bollywood shows all over Britain, was in talks with Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta to get into Shilpa's shoes for the second innings over price differences.
When contacted, Shilpa refused to comment on Hussain, but said: "The musical has been a wonderful experience. I've been there, seen it and done it. I would love to do it again, but when I have the time and dates."

Cane train change of pace
AFTER nine years underground, Lee Stewart loves his fresh air.
That's the highlight of his new job as a driver's assistant on Mackay Sugar's cane trains.
He's only been in the role a month, but already thought it was "the best".
"I was in an underground mine nine years, now this is what I love, the open air," Mr Stewart said.
"To get the job, I had to pass a 'walking beep test'.
"There's no running because the ground's pretty unstable. When you step on those cane billets, it's like you're rollerskating."
He said the main fitness point was flexibility.
"I passed okay though, luckily gymnastics is my thing," he said.
Mr Stewart works with Terry Bowkett on the Hampden-Narpi line, out of Marian Mill. Mr Bowkett has been driving locos "11 or 12 years".
He started out on a 20-tonne loco but now drives one that is 40 tonnes.
With the bigger engine he can tow up to 160 5½ tonne full bins, or "fullies", on flat ground with a brake on the end.
"If some bins break away, you learn to speed the loco up and get away from it," Mr Bowkett said.
"It happened to me when I first started and bins caught up to us. We were sent flying on the floor."
He said this year had been a slow start to the season.
"By the end of the season, we are flat out; everyone wants to get their cane off in time," he said.
At the end of the six-month season Mr Bowkett said he would switch to driving trucks, but Mr Stewart would look at it like having "long service year, every year". "I think I'll just go out fossicking, take my dogs with me, it'll be good," he said.

The Master Plan was completed in 2007, but was apparently overlooked and wasn't officially adopted then.
Planner Rob Yingling had noticed through his normal routine that the plan had not been adopted and brought the issue to the commissioner's attention earlier this year.
Yingling said the county's proposed zoning regulations were based on the county's comprehensive plan which includes references to the Airport Master Plan, that was discovered to have not been formally adopted.
He explained the issue further to the commissioners.

Hi Nik, > I had the intention to learn more about how the concurrency model > in PicoLisp compares to languages like Erlang, Termite (Gambit), > Clojure, Scala etc.
OK, I see ;-) This is not well documented yet. The basic model (for the processes on a single machine and operating on the same database), is that a single parent process forks a number of children, and these children can then communicate via objects in the database or with 'tell' and related functions. The communication dispatch is then handled by the parent process. > 1) The efficiency of (traditional) fork and thread models > depends highly on your concrete use case! Any general > statement in this regard will naturally fail. True. > 2) With scalability I mean the ability to create hundert thousands > (or even millions) of "processes" (cf. Erlang, Termite). OK. This cannot be done with normal processes and threads. PicoLisp suppors also some rather limited and lightweight "task"s, which are more like co-routines. But I wouldn't dare to create hundred thousands of them either ;-) So compared to such specialists, picoLisp has not much to offer. Its advantage lies, however, in the flexibility and simplicity, which may well allow to implement a more suitable solution for the problem at hand. For example, I cannot see that a hundred thousand processes on a single machine make any sense, they will get into the way of each other. In such a case the modelling of the situation with with say, objects, which interact with each other, might prove better.

It appears that the rest of the nation is finally catching up with North Carolina ... in joblessness, that is. Headline this a.m.: "Jobless rate rises to 4-year high of 5.7 percent."
'Course, North Carolina has already broken 6 percent, putting us 13th from the top in joblessness (or is it the bottom?).
Things are even worse around these parts, especially in Winston-Salem and the Triad, where the unemployment rate hit 6.4 percent in June, the worst showing in five years, or in other words, equally bad to another bad year in the George W. Bush presidency.

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - The 38th annual PNC Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden wrapped up Sunday evening however, there are more chances to see the lights if you missed them.
“It’s been a crazy year, and we thought for one it would be good to spread people out, give them more nights to come to the PNC Festival of Lights,” Cincinnati Zoo Digital Engagement & Publicity Manager Angela Hatke said.
Bonus nights are Jan. 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17. Zoo hours on those dates are from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Reservations and masks are required.
“We have 4 million LED lights, we have our train which is running right now and our carousel as well as over 20 animal lanterns throughout the zoo,” says Hatke.
There are also fire pits scattered throughout the zoo where Hatke says guests can get a marshmallow kit and make s’mores.
“We were voted the best zoo lights in the country, so we really want everyone to get the chance to check it out but in a safe way,” Hatke said.

Nothing is more important than health
This is also reflected in the figures for the health sector. At €372 billion, the healthcare market will account for around 12% of the total gross value added in Germany in 2019, growing faster than the economy as a whole. In order for this trend to continue in the future, it is essential for all those involved in the industry to actively drive forward its digitalisation and thus ensure its competitiveness. With an industry focus on the healthcare market, highly specialised consultants and a high level of digitisation expertise, Detecon successfully supports its clients from clinics, health insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry.
The Healthcare Ecosystem
The healthcare market comprises various players who face very individual challenges in the context of digitalisation. As Detecon, we support each of them on their way into the future. Through our experience in the industry, we bring an integrated view of the ecosystem that allows us to find the optimal digitalisation strategy for you.
Our focus in Deep Dive
Based on our Big Picture, our portfolio is aligned with the various players.
Detecon understands new technologies and knows where and how they can be used profitably.
In numerous digitalisation projects, both in healthcare and in the pharmaceutical industry, Detecon has a broad pool of blueprints and use cases for the successful application of the latest technologies. In addition, our experienced consultants have repeatedly proven that they can define and implement a suitable digital strategy. This includes the expansion and redefinition of the digitalised service portfolio, the patient experience as well as the digital optimisation of production processes. Especially the expertise in cyber security ensures that risks are well assessed and minimised. Detecon attaches great importance to actively guiding and accompanying the clients in the implementation of the strategies and in the transformation.
Use cases for digitisation in the health sector
Lengthy and paper-based admission processes can be simplified and accelerated through automated primary care data transfer, online or app-based registration. This saves time and protects the environment.
During treatment, data can be automated and digitally recorded. This makes the patient history easier to manage and transfer. This promotes the completeness of the history and a decrease in the risk of treatment errors.
By virtually overlaying patient data, organs and vessels, augmented and virtual reality can empower doctors and better design surgeries. Students can benefit from streaming opportunities for learning purposes.
The prices of medicines and generics differ greatly. The political discussion on this points to misaligned incentives in our health care system, which demand new business model solutions from pharmaceutical companies, among others.
Beds and equipment are expensive purchases and are rarely available. A remedy is the digital tracking of beds or expensive equipment. This means increased efficiency in work processes and optimisation in purchasing.
Medicines can work differently depending on the person. Drug development on gene-based therapies enables individualised treatment, greater treatment success, fewer side effects and more satisfied customers.
Analyses of the insured and the use of exchange channels enable the development of new premium systems. Real-time analysis allows you to offer customers exactly the right product they need.
Self-diagnosis is the trend. The increasing number of smart devices enables extensive examination from home. In this way, diseases can be detected before they break out or become acute.
New regulations such as the EDP require networked devices that must both fit into the hospital systems and provide the right interfaces. With the right safety requirements, these are the products of the future.

Researchers at St. Louis University have reversed the symptoms of Alzheimer's and stroke in mice with a new process that gets drugs past the brain's protective barrier.
The blood-brain barrier is a group of cells that only lets in nutrients and rejects any foreign substances. The barrier makes no distinction between substances meant to help with others that will do harm.
The treatment is named PACAP27 and allows a certain hormone, produced in the body, to get past the protective barrier.
"We went after the guard and essentially told him to go on break for a while so PACAP27 could get into the brain," said St. Louis University professor Dr William A Banks.
In the past, treatment of Alzheimer's and stroke has been limited because the drugs available were blocked from the damaged areas of the brain.
Banks said the mice in the study afflicted with Alzheimer's disease "became smarter" after the protective barrier was shut down. The findings could potentially lead to treating many conditions which affect the central nervous system.
An estimated 5.2 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease.


Properties situated along the waterfront cost 56% more than inland homes in the UK, a survey has revealed.1
The research also found that some waterfront homes require premiums of up to 300%.1
Many homeowners in the UK would love to live near a river, lake, or on the coast, however the cost of doing this reflects the high proportion of dreamers.
This comes despite the greater risk of flooding, and consequent larger home insurance premiums.
The study also discovered that slipways can add an average premium of 128% to a house, a mooring 117%, a pontoon 108%, access to a private beach 93%, a jetty 77%, and to a sea view, 51%.1
The survey also explored how much premiums are around the world, and revealed that houses on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah see the biggest increase for waterside properties, at 75%.1
Within the UK, there are proposals to develop Battersea Park near the River Thames into 3,400 new houses and the first public park built in central London in the last 150 years. This indicates the level of power waterside and park properties have.
It would appear that, despite the risks of a waterside location, they are still the most sought after areas.

I’ve been thinking about buying a pop-up light tent but before doing so I decided to try making one myself. The theory of a light tent is to place your light source outside the translucent material of the tent, thereby reducing glare. Ideally you should have lights on the top and sides to also eliminate shadows.
Start with a cardboard box, the size depends on what you need to photograph. I had an empty dogfood box measuring 15″ wide and approximately 11″ high and deep that was suitable for photographing my jewellery.
I turned the box on its side so what was the top became the front.
Then I cut off the top flaps and cut out the sides and top, leaving a narrow border all around.
I had some leftover white spray paint, so I lightly sprayed the interior white. No need for perfection as I would be lining the sides and back with white paper too.
The plan was to sew a fabric lining for the box, with slits at the top and at the front so I could take photos from above and also from the front. Having the box fully lined would eliminate reflections showing up in the jewellery photos.
I measured the inside of the box and cut out pattern pieces …
pinned the pieces together …
while Neo supervised the work in progress …
and finally sewed all the pieces together and hung the lining in the box.
Here is the result, the pic has not been edited in any way.
I was aiming for a completely seamless look with the lining, hence the reason for hanging it from the inside of the box. Although the pics are quite OK after a bit of editing, I’m not really happy with the result as the fabric isn’t taut enough and it shows.
Take 2 … eliminate the fabric.
To cover the sides and top I cut up two plastic hanging files, cut two halves to fit the sides and stuck them in place. One half of a file was just the right size for the top and I decided to simply place it on top rather than sticking it so I could remove it easily in case I wanted to photograph anything from the top.
That’s it, a simple light tent ready to be used. At the moment we have good natural light and I’m using the box outside in the balcony overlooking our courtyard with no additional artificial light. Come Winter, I’ll find a suitable place indoors and use daylight lamps to provide light from the top and the sides.
Here’s the result, photo has not been touched or edited in any way yet.
Just a bit of cropping and brightening and here’s the final pic:

The “psychedelic album”. A right of passage. A trippy drippy right of passage. Executed well, an off-piste psych adventure can breathe new life into an artist, giving purpose after a mid-career lull. However, quite often, these records signal the start of a midlife crisis, the aural equivalent of buying a bright red convertible to take out on those balmy late summer weekends.
Mahal, Toro Y Moi’s seventh studio album, falls somewhere between these two extremes. The record manages to avoid pure self-indulgence whilst never really breaking new ground. Baggy opener ‘The Medium’ and the Funkadelic stylings of ‘Postman’ suggest that Toro y Moi would be wise to fully lean into this madness. The tracks threaten a brave new future for the former king of chillwave, one filled with technicolour lollipops and swirling caramel rainbows.
Unfortunately though, more often than not, the album falls back on an extremely radio-friendly sound. The faux-pop psychedelia of ‘Magazine’ and ‘Last Year’ offer no real substance, slipping away from funk oddity towards something akin to a decaf version of Jamiroquai. The reliance on the squeaky clean quickly becomes Mahal’s undoing. For every moment of greatness the listener is met with two or three tracks of airy paisley pop. This creates a lack of a consistent groove, sullying what at times promised to be a droopy, floating delight.

Beth Rogers just recently became a member of the Sturgess family though both Abigail and Tracy Sturgess act as if she and her mother are scum. Meanwhile, Beth’s stepfather, Philip is determined to make his wife and stepdaughter feel at home.
A hundred years ago, something horrible happened at the family mill. However, the tragedy has been held a secret for years. Before he died, Conrad Sturgess urged that the mill be torn down, but no one listened and now, years later, people are finally starting to wonder if he was right. Will Philip and Beth’s father, Alan, stop working on the mill and listen to those who say it’s a bad idea to keep it there, or will they continue to work on it against some of the townspeople’s wishes?
Another ghost story is cleverly and skillfully delivered to us by John Saul. While the book starts out a little slow, it soon turns into a fast-paced page turner. Saul is amazing at including imagery that makes us feel as if we are part of the story and he has a great talent for developing characters that we find ourselves feeling strongly about. We know immediately who to root for and who we want to fail.
This story is a little “creepier” than The Unwanted and Nathaniel. While Nathaniel was definitely eerie, Hell Fire contains more violence and frightening imagery. However, that’s part of what adds to the greatness of the story. The plot is filled with mystery, violence, history, and revenge.
Another great thing about Hell Fire is that it touches on so many issues that are relevant in the world today. The story is not only a ghost story, but it also deals with class and the resentment that one side of a town has for the other. The story also touches on the hatred that one sibling can have for another and how jealousy can turn a person into something someone else may have never thought imaginable. If you’re looking for a book that has many facets and is scary at the same time as relevant, Hell Fire is definitely for you!

Saints went into the game with the ambition of racking up their fourth consecutive home win.
The Bairns started Lee Miller and Tom Taiwo, with Myles Hippolyte and David McCracken dropping to the bench.
The opening stages were fairly even, with both keepers snuffing out a couple of early half-chances before they developed into full-blown threats.
After 10 minutes, visiting striker John Baird found Craig Sibbald with a neat pass out wide and his attempt at goal was deflected out for a corner, which came to nothing.
The Buddies then upped the ante with a well-executed training-ground free-kick, which resulted in Jack Baird’s header across goal being cleared.
A few minutes later, the lively John Baird teed up Sibbald again, and another corner was won and booted to safety.
St Mirren’s creativity almost paid off in the 25th minute after a defensive lapse when forward David Clarkson laid off brilliantly to youngster Jordan Stewart and his low shot from 12 yards skidded inches wide of Danny Rogers’ left-hand post. And a few minutes later, Lawrence Shankland went close at the same end.
A brave punch from Rogers then denied Shankland as he bore down on goal but Stephen Mallan should have done much better than blast over the bar when the ball landed at his feet.
John Baird was in the perfect position to get on the end of a ball over the top but his namesake Jack did well to marshall the ball and the man to safety.
Calum Gallagher shot wide for the Paisley men after being teed up by the tenacious Shankland just inside the box. Shankland was booked two minutes before the break for a foul.
Referee Euan Anderson waved away a penalty shout after Clarkson was hauled down in the box. Clarkson then had the ball in the net 38 seconds into the second half but the flag had already been raised for offside.
Gallagher was denied by a brilliant Leahy tackle a yard from goal after Stewart found him with a sliderule pass at the back post.
Falkirk’s Alston rattled the bar from 16 yards out with a snapshot in the 54th minute, before Miller headed wide from close range. Langfield held a decent McHigh header from 12 yards.
Gallagher tracked back brilliantly to deny McHugh as he pulled the trigger eight yards from goal. And the youngster was then denied at the other end by Sibbald.
Livingston 0 Greenock Morton 0
JIM DUFFY insists his side are running on empty before their biggest game of the season.
The Morton boss, whose side face Celtic on Sunday in the Scottish Cup last eight, admits Ton are knackered after EIGHT fixtures in a month.
Duffy, who watched his side draw a blank at Livi, said: “In the first half we created a couple of decent chances but it just wouldn’t go in for us.
“After the break, I didn’t think we were anywhere near our best, but I’ve said to the boys in there that we’ve had an awful lot of games in recent weeks.
“We’ve got a very small group and limited options so I think we just ran out of steam.
“In the last 20 minutes I thought they were heavy legged and there was no spark. As a result, the game petered out.
“But Livingston is a hard place to come so we can be reasonably happy with a point and a clean sheet up here.”
Livi were chasing consecutive wins in the Championship for the first time since October following their 3-1 triumph over Alloa on Saturday - however it was Morton who threatened to break the deadlock early on.
After 20 minutes Declan McManus robbed Livi skipper Darren Cole, darted into the penalty area and unleashed a ferocious low shot. However, Marc McCallum produced a magnificent one-handed save.
Jordan White then blew a golden chance to give the hosts the lead. Danny Mullen tormented Mark Russell on the flank before finding the towering front-man unmarked inside the box, only for him to blaze a wasteful drive over the bar.
On-loan Hibs play-maker Sam Stanton, who broke his duck for the Lions with a goal against Alloa, saw a pot-shot from 20 yards drift wide as David Hopkin’s men pushed for the opener.
Morton attempted to turn the screw after the break, with Bobby Barr proving Livi’s tormenter-in-chief.
After a jinking dribble down the left, his low cross found its way to Paul McMullan, however the waspish winger was denied by another fine McCallum save.
Both sides will regret missed opportunities but in the end a draw was probably the right result.

1. Hill driving wouldnt be a problem since you mentioned that the drivers are safe and good. Just keep the hill driving etiquette in mind. For more read here
2. For Dalhousie the best route in my opinion would be to reach Pathankot on NH1A and then take a right for Dalhousie.
3. For Dharamshala the best route IMO would be Delhi-Ambala-Kharar-Ropar-Kiratpur- nangal-Una-Amb-Chintpurni-Kangra-Dharamshala
4. All roads will be accessible.
4. For more information you can read my travelogue on Dharamshala here (A Family Holiday In The Kangra Valley)

In 2010, pundits declared it “The Year of the Woman” yet somehow by the end of the political cycle there were fewer female congresswomen than ever before.
The 2010 cycle was also the first cycle of major participation and candidate support by the Susan B. Anthony List, a political action group that initially focused on electing “pro-life women to office.” It’s a mission that they seemed to have strayed from by the mid-2010 cycle, backing Republican male candidates against female candidates who were pro-choice, or male candidates who were pro-life but were Democrats or, even in one case, a male Republican against a female pro-life Democrat.
Since then, the SBA List seems to take its namesake’s desire to get women into political office… lightly. Rather than focusing on promoting women, or promoting pro-life candidates, they are now a “pro-life women’s group” that supports Republican candidates, regardless of who their challengers are.
The final transformation seems most obvious when you look at their most recent round of endorsements. The SBA has announced support for Republican Senatorial candidates Richard Mourdock in Indiana, Pete Hoekstra in Michigan, and Rick Berg in North Dakota.
Appreciate our work?
Rewire is a non-profit independent media publication. Your tax-deductible contribution helps support our research, reporting, and analysis.
Of these races of interest, SBA is backing two candidates running against Democratic female rivals (Sen. Debbie Stabenow in Michigan, and former Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota), and one candidate challenging a male Democrat who identifies as pro-life. Indiana Senator Joe Donnelly considers himself “committed to protecting life at all stages,” and helped to craft and support the Stupak amendment denying abortion insurance coverage in the Affordable Care Act. He has received a 20 percent rating with NARAL Pro-Choice America during his time in the House, with his only “positive” vote one against letting hospital emergency rooms allow women to die rather than receive a life-saving abortion. But again, just as in 2010, the SBA is targeting anti-choice Democrats who voted for health care reform by claiming it was an “anti-life” vote, even with the denial of coverage for abortions pasted onto it.
“In 2010 Joe Donnelly was one of the ‘pro-life’ Democrats led by Bart Stupak who betrayed their principles and constituents by voting for Obamacare, the largest expansion of abortion since Roe….Votes have consequences and it’s time to send Joe Donnelly home like the rest of those representatives who failed to stand up with the unborn and pro-life taxpayers.”
That the SBA List is supporting male, Republican candidates in order to either defeat female challengers or sitting female incumbents who support a woman’s right to choose is not so surprising, although claiming that Susan B. Anthony’s fictitious “pro-life beliefs” means she’d rather have anti-choice men in office than pro-choice women seems a little presumptuous. But by repeatedly endorsing Republican candidates to defeat pro-life incumbent Democrats, the group makes it clear that despite the historical significance of their name, their real mission is party affiliation.

The refugee is one of the immigration programs that suits those who were forced to leave their country for several reasons beyond their control. Refugees refer to the category of people who are forced by circumstances to leave their homeland to obtain asylum in another country, in this case in Canada.
The Government of Canada pays great attention to the refugee problem and allocates special quotas for the accommodation of foreign citizens who need asylum and protection from various persecutions.
The applicant can submit a request for refugee status in the territory of his/her country. But if a person has already arrived in Canada, then already at the airport or port, the applicant must inform the immigration authorities about his/her intention to obtain refugee status. Alternatively, the applicant can apply to the Immigration Office after they have passed the airport screening procedure.
Let’s consider the options for which a candidate can obtain refugee status in Canada:
- Belonging to a certain social group;
- Political convictions.
LGBT people fall under the fourth basis.
The process of obtaining refugee status for LGBT people
Applicants have two options for applying for refugee status when crossing the border (usually at the airport) or already in Canada at one of the immigration offices.
If you decide to apply at the border, you will have to fill out Eligibility Forms. These forms will be reviewed by the Border Guard Officer, who will decide if you have a basis for the application. If the decision is positive, you will be given additional questionnaires, which you will need to fill out and submit within 15 days (Basis of Claim). After submitting the questionnaire, you will be assigned a date for your hearing (approximately 45 days after the questionnaire was submitted).
If you choose to apply while in Canada, you will need to complete all required application forms. You can submit these forms at one of the immigration offices in Canada. After submitting the questionnaire, you will be assigned for a preliminary interview (Eligibility Interview). There, it will be decided whether you have a reason to apply. If the decision is yes, you will receive the date and time of your hearing (approximately 45 days after the application was filed).
You will have several options to update your firmware. It is important to remember that these updates/changes should not be significant. In other words, you will not be able to mention some big and important event that could have influenced your decision to seek protection in Canada if you have never mentioned it in an interview or on any of the questionnaires.
10 days before your hearing, you must file any documents you plan to rely on during your hearing. The Immigration Board has very limited exceptions that allow important documents to be filed 10 days before the hearing.
The entire administrative process is described in detail on the website of the Immigration Commission.
The main nuances of applying for refugees for LGBT people
To apply for refugee status in Canada, the applicant must either be physically present in Canada or be outside the country of their citizenship.
To obtain refugee status, an LGBT person is not required to have proof that he/she lived openly as an LGBT person in his/her country. The analysis of the applicant’s situation focuses on the prospect and serious possibility that upon returning to their home country the applicant will be persecuted because of their sexual orientation.
Typically, at a hearing for granting refugee status in Canada for LGBT people, the following issues are raised:
Questions about identification and Questions about the accuracy of the information provided as grounds for the request
Applicants who have lived in hiding their sexual orientation sometimes find it very difficult to prove their LGBT affiliation during a hearing. It is especially true because the short deadlines are given to applicants to prepare for the hearing (the hearing is scheduled 45-60 days after the petition is filed). Therefore, we would advise all potential applicants to first consult with a lawyer to determine which documents may serve as evidence of LGBT affiliation.
Granting state protection
Each applicant must prove that his/her government is unwilling or unable to protect the applicant. The applicant must show that he/she either tried to seek protection and did not receive it or explain why he/she did not try to seek protection from state authorities.
Internal deployment to avoid harassment
The main idea of this concept is that the applicant must show that there is no geographic place on the territory of his/her state where he/she could live peacefully without being persecuted.
Difference between discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation
Harassment of LGBT people is not only about imprisonment, bullying, or death. Persecution is a serious violation of fundamental human rights and can take many forms. In some countries, for example, this violation may be the refusal to hire an LGBT representative. However, it is worth noting that discrimination based on sexual orientation may not be classified as persecution that could lead to refugee status. The difference between discrimination and harassment in immigration law remains the most problematic topic in immigration law and requires serious preparation to build a convincing argument.

Nationwide registry-based ecological analysis of Q fever incidence and pregnancy outcome during an outbreak in the Netherlands.
Bottom Line: In contrast, we found a weak significant association between residing in a Q fever-affected area in 2008-2010 and small for gestational age (adjusted OR 1.06 (95% CI 1.01 to 1.12)), with a population-attributable fraction of 0.70% (95% CI 0.07% to 1.34%).This study found a weak association between residing in a Q fever-affected area and the pregnancy outcome small for gestational age.Early detection of infection would require mass screening of pregnant women; this does not seem to be justified considering these results, and the uncertainties about its efficacy and the adverse effects of antibiotic treatment.

Mentions: Areas not affected by Q fever were selected in two stages. First, four-digit postal-code areas with zero Q fever notifications in 2008 through 2010 were identified. Then, for each Q fever-affected area, we selected three postal-code areas not affected by Q fever (figure 1), which resembled the affected area in their proportion of adverse pregnancy outcomes in 2003 through 2004 (before the Q fever outbreak). With this method, we created two area types (areas affected and not affected by Q fever) which were comparable with respect to the risk of obstetric complications before the start of the Q fever outbreak.

Expanding charter schools, creating state-run districts, and focusing on state-regulated in-house district solutions are the key strategies to watch for as states figure out how to manage school turnaround under new federal education law, according to a recently released report.
A center-right think tank, the Fordham Institute partnered with the nonprofit group Education Cities, to issue a report, “Leveraging ESSA to Support Quality-School Growth.” The report’s goal is to give state leaders guidance for how to best craft school turnaround strategies under the new educational law of the land, the Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA.
ESSA was passed in 2015 and was written to return policy-making power to states and local school districts after over a decade of centralized control from Washington. The sweeping changes are being implemented gradually, and states are currently working to submit their ESSA compliance plans for April 3rd or September 18th deadlines of this year.
For much of the Bush and the Obama administrations, Washington largely dictated how states were supposed to intervene in the nation’s lowest performing schools (typically measured as schools with test-scores in the bottom five percentiles of a state, or those with low high school graduation rates). The federal education department would tie its grant funding to whether states adopted Washington’s preferred school turn-around strategies. In an embarrassing report released just before it left office, the Obama administration was forced to recognize that this strategy was largely ineffective.
One of the reforms instituted by ESSA was a consolidation of federal grant programs. As this week’s Fordham report notes, school turnaround funds are now included under ESSA’s Title I, a nearly $15 billion pool of money intended to support students from low-income families. Under ESSA, states must use seven percent of their Title I dollars to fund school turnaround initiatives.
While states now have more freedom to decide how to improve low-performing schools, Congress did tighten restrictions on the evidence-base that states must use to allocate federal funds for interventions. According to the Fordham study, expanding charter schools is the safest way for states to avoid running afoul of the statute’s more stringent research-based requirements (though a recent move to further take the federal education department out of the policy-making equation suggests that states should not be overly concerned about rigid enforcement).
The study argues that converting chronically low-performing traditional public schools into public charters is a promising approach, particularly in urban settings. While the study acknowledges that charter school performance nationally “ranges from amazing to awful,” the authors pointed to large charter sectors in Washington, D.C., New York City, and Newark, New Jersey as success stories.
The authors say that when robust authorizing and support frameworks are in place, charters have had a demonstrated impact on improving student outcomes. Some reformers have also suggested that competition from charters can improve the traditional public school system as well. One drawback to the charter expansion model for school turnaround, however, is that charter school operators tend to prefer startup-style approaches where they can manage a school from the ground-up, rather than reforming schools that are already struggling, according to the report.
The next intervention model highlighted in the Fordham report looks at examples where a state education agency steps in and assumes direct control of a chronically underperforming school, or school district. The key example for this approach is in Louisiana, where the state’s “Recovery School District” ended up assuming de facto control over nearly all of New Orleans’ schools in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
While the state-run school district model has been successful in Louisiana, results were mixed in Nevada and Tennessee, according to the study. The report also noted that local school districts and local communities are often reluctant to cede control to state bureaucrats.
Finally, the authors examined state-overseen, locally-based interventions. Typically these models involve appointing a “receiver” with broad powers to turnaround struggling schools. The study cautioned states that opt for this approach to ensure that the reforms initiated by the receiver are anchored in scientifically proven strategies.
The prototype for a locally-based intervention is the school reform effort undertaken in Lawrence, Massachusetts, according to the report. In that city, the state appointed receiver, Jeffrey Reilly, reportedly oversaw a 14 percentage point increase in the high school graduation rate in three years. Again, as with the direct state-takeover model, some areas have had more success than others with this approach, and resistance from local leaders to give up control remains an obstacle, according to the report.
As states put the finishing touches on their ESSA plans, more clarity will emerge on how states plan to tailor federal support to the specific needs of their most needy schools and districts. As the Fordham report notes, the decision of which school turnaround strategy a state picks will in large part hinge on that state’s politics and the pros and cons inherent to the various strategies laid out above.


Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski has been killed in a plane crash in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Macedonian officials say Mr. Trajkovski was killed Thursday when his plane went down near the Bosnian city of Stolac. Details of the crash are unclear, but bad weather was reported in the area.
Bosnian police said they found the plane's wreckage about 80 kilometers south of Sarajevo.
President Trajkovski was on his way to attend a two-day economic conference in the Bosnian city of Mostar. The French news agency reports Macedonian Prime Minister Branko Crvenkovski cut short a trip to Ireland and was on his way back to Skopje.
Mr. Trajkovski, an ordained Methodist minister who studied theology in the United States, was elected Macedonia's president in late 1999. He was praised for taking a neutral stance in a country where tensions persist between Macedonians and minority ethnic Albanians. He was a frequent advocate of including ethnic Albanians in Macedonian government.
Before becoming prime minister, Mr. Trajkovski served as Macedonia's deputy foreign minister.

All players playing for the Hounds/Hurricanes this fall are welcome to participate in the skills competitions. Players, family and friends are welcome at the family open skate.
Congratulations to Hurricanes players Sydney Rarick and Maya Gite for winning the Easton AAA Independent Classic 12U Girls Pacific Division this past weekend in Minnesota.

Congrats to all of the girls on an outstanding championship run!
Squirt Hounds Last Game at SCIS
It was a bittersweet moment when the scoreboard ticked down to zero on a 6-4 victory for the Hounds squirt team as the players, coaches and parents realized it would be the last Hounds game played at Space City Ice. Only an hour earlier the Hounds mite team finished their final game with one last chant of "Who are we? Hounds!" before saluting the crowd at center ice.
While the only home the Hounds have ever known will be sold to a car dealership early in October, we all took one last day to remember all that Space City Ice has given us. As the kids marched off to the lockerroom with big smiles on their faces, we realize that this is not the end... this pack of Hounds will play on together! Go Hounds!


100+ Puppy Mill Survivors Cared For
Over 100 survivors from an Arkansas puppy mill have found a safer place at the Washington Animal Rescue League in Washington, DC. It was mostly small-breed dogs like terriers, poodles, pomeranians, and shih tzus that were found in filthy conditions at the Arkansas puppy mill. The owner was charged with three felony counts of animal cruelty. Some of the dogs found by authorities were no longer alive..
The Washington Animal Rescue League’s CEO said, “We are prepared to give them everything they need – though it may take months of intensive work – to help them make the transition from caged animals being bred like livestock to cherished family members.” (Source: Washington Post)
It was a very good reminder during holiday season, when impulse purchases of puppies from pet stores are somewhat common for members of the public to properly inform themselves about puppy sourcing. Meaning, if they don’t understand some of the puppies for sale in pet shops have been kept in deplorable living conditions at puppy mills, they are more likely to buy them and unknowingly support animal cruelty.
In some cases, the puppy mill dogs have been kept in very small cages and have not been socialized in a healthy way, so they are very weary of being around people which makes it harder for them to be adopted at an animal shelter after being rescued.
Consumers can play a role in reducing the number of puppy mills by refusing to buy puppies and dogs from pet stores and make sure they are properly informed before making a purchase, or even better – adopting a puppy or dog from an animal shelter and saving it from being euthanized.

Score: Match One: Oral Roberts 3 - Abilene Christian 0 | Match Two: Texas Tech 3, Oral Roberts 1
Records: ORU (6-4) - ACU (1-10) - TTU (9-2)
Location: United Supermarkets Arena - Lubbock, Texas
LUBBOCK, Texas -- The Oral Roberts volleyball team split its final day of action at the Texas Tech Invitational Saturday in Lubbock. The Golden Eagles were able to pick up a sweep over Abilene Christian (25-20, 25-16, 25-18), but dropped its match to Texas Tech in the nightcap, 3-1 (25-19, 25-12, 20-25, 25-16).
Junior Laura Milos garnered her third All-Tournament Team selection of the season after leading the way for the Golden Eagles over the weekend. The outside hitter came into the weekend leading the nation in kills, kills per set and aces. She finished the the three matches with 69 kills and 14 aces.
In the opener of the day, ORU was able to steadily attack the Wildcats )1-10) defense with great success. As a squad the Golden Eagles hit .207 while the Oral Roberts defense held ACU to a .000 attack percentage.
In the final match of the tournament, Texas Tech increased its winning streak to nine matches after finishing off ORU in a four-set win. The Golden Eagles led by as many as five points in the first set, but a late run by the Red Raiders gave TTU the win. Texas Tech carried over its momentum into the second set, cruising 25-12, into intermission.
ORU made the adjustments and led from start to finish in the third set, and pushed its lead to as many as five points before TTU called a timeout late to regroup. Red Raiders' outside hitter Chandler Atwood picked up a kill to cut the deficit to just three points, but ORU closed out the set with three-straight points for the win.
The Texas Tech offense was too much to handle in the fourth and final set as Tony Graystone's squad jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. Two players recorded double-digit kills for the Red Raiders as the team hit for a .300 percentage on the night.
Inside the Box Score
- Milos finished the TTU Invitational with 69 total kills, 14 aces and five block assists.

We were very fortunate to snag Pete Peterson, aka famous owner/chef of Tapawingo in Ellsworth, to teach a class for us at Oryana. For a class this time of year we thought it fitting to feature all the wonderful, local foods available. And Pete did not disappoint with a colorful, flavorful menu full of local veggies like tomatoes, corn, potatoes, green beans, chard, carrots, and more. Here is what we made:
Corn Sformati, an Italian-style souffle
Roasted Pork Tenderloins with Roasted Vegetables and Tangy Tomato Sauce (to die for!)
Heirloom Tomato Galette (out of this world!)
Tacos of Greens, Shiitakes, Onions with Tomatillo Salsa
New Potato Salad with Green Beans
Tapawingo’s Chilled Cucumber Soup
Carrot Cake Scones
Pete cutting his just-out-of-the-oven Heirloom Tomato Galette. The crust was melt in your mouth tender.
Prepping the fresh tacos. Pete said he wished there were a place in town to get “real” tacos, not the Kraft cheese versions everyone thinks are tacos.
The Corn Sformati coming out of the oven. A rustic version of a souffle where it doesn’t matter when it “deflates.”
The mise en place for the New Potato Salad. (Mise en place: [MEEZ ahn plahs] A French term referring to having all the ingredients necessary for a dish prepared and ready to combine up to the point of cooking.
Ray Isaacson with the finished scones. They were topped with a cream cheese glaze and toasted coconut. Yum!
Searing the pork tenderloin before it goes into a hot oven. The vegetables – carrots, fennel, red onion – follow. And all is topped with a homemade tomato sauce that is better than any canned sauce in the world.
We have a new line of cooking classes starting in September. See the class descriptions HERE. Classes tend to fill up quickly so don’t delay signing up if you are interested. We will ask Pete if he would teach another class this winter so stay tuned!


An AI-Driven Cloud Computing Infrastructure
DeepCloud AI is building an AI-driven decentralized cloud computing platform for running decentralized applications ? IoT and Web 3.0 dApps.We will provide a spot market for computing and storage resources for enterprise-level users and individuals, for the purpose of sharing their excess capacity on our decentralized cloud, and with our AI matching engine. Applications will execute in a secure sandbox on the peer-to-peer resources, and all transactions are managed on the blockchain via smart contracts.
DeepCloudAI is building an AI-driven decentralized cloud computing platform for running decentralized applications, specifically what we would consider IoT and Web 3.0 dApps. We believe that these are not just trends in the making, and are preparing technologies that will support both existing and upcoming use cases for technology. Our platform will provide a fully functional marketplace for computing and storage resources for companies and individuals - enabling them to share their excess capacity via our decentralized cloud. More importantly, instead of leaving it up to users to perform p2p matching of the resource transactions, we are applying our expertise in AI technologies to create a Matching Engine that will easily and smoothly pair these resources for application developers. Applications will execute in a secure sandbox on the peer-to-peer resources, with transactions managed on the blockchain via automated smart contracts. Our application marketplace for developers with pre-validated applications will speed up development of end-to-end solutions. We believe that our vision to democratize cloud computing and level the playing field for both resource providers and application developers will become one of the pillars of the next generation of internet technologies. Stay tuned to our project as we will be releasing more details, especially technical implementations and our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) before our crowdsale.?


The May 27 Outlook commentary “D.C. has boomed” pointed out the impending shortage of playgrounds in some vibrant neighborhoods of the District, including Mount Vernon Triangle. Recently, a developer announced a proposal for placing farms atop new buildings that would sprout in the air rights space above Interstate 395 [“Developer courting Georgetown” news article, April 30]. Wouldn’t playgrounds be great up there instead? They would be mostly green and would have a great positive impact on the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood.

Overclocking is not a new phenomenon, and it is usually a system's processor that is the main candidate for tweaking. However, the CPU is not the only piece of hardware which can be pushed harder and made to perform beyond its advertised speed. There are obvious risks associated with overclocking, but if you take things easy, it is a great way to gain an extra performance boost free of charge.
RivaTuner is a free program that can be used to overclock NVIDIA GeForce and ATI Radeon graphics cards. Overclocking can be performed on a per application basis or for the entire system. This means that games can be accelerated as they will benefit from it the most, but the strain can be taken off the graphics card when other programs are in use.
There are various options available such as boosting the performance of the core clock, shader clock and memory clock. You can also take control of fan settings to help conpensate for any extra heat that may be generated by the extra power.
Hardware overclocking is not something that should be undertaken lightly, but RivaTuner makes the process as simple as possible so even the uninitiated can try their hand at this form of tweaking. Used with care, RivaTuner can help you to get more power from your machine without having to upgrade hardware, and this is something that few people are likely to turn their noses up at.
Gaining an extra turn of speed, particularly for gaming, is something that is to be welcomed, and RivaTuner makes it accessible to all.

For more than ten years, I have committed myself to learning web design. In the beginning, I was just playing around and seeing what I could do. Over time, I realized that I had both a passion and a gift for web design. I now consider myself an artist, reveling in the creative process and constantly looking for ways to push the boundaries of the field.
Long-term, I just want to learn as much as I can and do great work. I have already collaborated with some high-profile professionals in the advertising industry, picking up some invaluable knowledge and insight from them and continuing to hone my skills. I would be thrilled to collaborate with project managers, small agencies, and small businesses to help them give their customers proper web presences. To date, I have worked on projects in such industries as manufacturing, non-governmental organization, building and development, education, and community organization.

If you want to experience the fun of land-based casino games without leaving home, live casinos are the answer. They bring the Las Vegas vibe to your living room and all you need is a smartphone or tablet with a stable Internet connection.
Live Casinos use video streaming technology and a Game Control Unit to broadcast real-time games. They also offer a chat feature that allows you to interact with the dealer and other players in real-time.
Real-time streaming technology lets players play live casino games on their desktops, tablets or smartphones. This makes them feel like they are sitting at a table in a real casino.
The gaming experience is enhanced by the fact that you can interact with real dealers who are in a specialized studio. This is also an ideal way for players to enjoy the game from any location and at any time.
This kind of streaming has many benefits for players, especially those who are new to the industry. They can learn the rules and strategies of the game, allowing them to maximize their chances of winning.
But streaming is not enough – real-time systems need to be built with data processing capabilities and be in a position to respond to data as it arrives in the system. In addition, it is important to be in a position to support hybrid cloud and real-time applications with a reliable data movement platform.
Wider variety of games
There are a variety of different types of live casino games to choose from. Some of the more popular options include roulette, poker and blackjack. Others, such as Baccarat and Craps, are less common but offer a fun and exciting experience for players. You can also try your hand at bingo and keno.
The best live casinos are licensed and regulated and feature the latest in gaming technology. Some even have mobile applications, meaning you can play on the go. These aforementioned games are also a good place to start if you are new to the world of online gambling.
It is no secret that live casino games are a hot topic with online gamblers, but the top notch ones can be found at reputable online casinos. Some of the best live casino sites will also have a huge selection of games, so you should be able to find something to suit your taste. The best part is that you can play them for real money or simply for fun.
Graphics are a vital part of any business, from web design to product packaging. They can make a website more memorable and compel visitors to take action.
A recent study found that people remember images better than text. That means that high-quality graphics are a key way to boost your CTR (click-through rate) and increase your SEO rankings.
The most reputable live casinos provide high-quality graphics to give players a real-life gaming experience. They use HD cameras and broadcast the games in real time so that you can see the dealer and interact with them as if you were in the casino.
Live casinos are a great way to enjoy your favorite games without having to travel. They’re available 24 hours a day and can be played on just about any device.
The main benefit of playing at live casinos is that you can interact with your dealer and other players in real time. This makes the experience more social than playing against a random number generator (RNG).
Some people feel that online casino games lack a human touch, so they want to play with a live dealer. These dealers are fully-trained professionals and provide an authentic casino experience for their clients.
Many reputable casinos offer live dealer games from renowned gaming developers. These games are often more expensive than traditional gaming alternatives, but only licensed and top-quality operators offer them.

An Orientation Program for M.B.A. Foreign Students: Directions and Questions.
Arguing that eliminating formal grammar instruction and concentrating instead on instruction in style and organization will improve the program, this paper describes Tulane University's language orientation program for foreign students in the M.B.A. program. Following an introduction, the paper describes the students in the class and the nature of the writing section of the course, and then analyzes the techniques used in teaching writing. This section includes writing samples that characterize the culture-based writing problems of the Latin and Oriental students in the course, and discusses test scores indicating that the students' writing improved during the five-week course but that their knowledge of grammar did not. The paper concludes that instructors should treat grammar problems as they arise within the framework of the group discussions, and that they should emphasize exercises which develop the students' organizational abilities as well as style.

More rail disruption after trains withdrawn for repairs following fires
Rail services in Shropshire and parts of the West Midlands were hit by fresh disruption on Tuesday after a number of trains were withdrawn for repairs following several fires.
Transport for Wales said it had temporarily withdrawn a number of its Class 175 trains for additional maintenance checks after the issues.
The company, which runs a number of routes through Shropshire and Mid Wales, said that the disruption is likely to continue into early April.
It comes after more than 100 services were disrupted at the start of the month, due to three 'mechanical failures' on the Class 175 Trains.
Today there has been significant disruption throughout the county and Mid Wales, with a several trains cancelled.
The 12.29pm from Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury was cancelled, along with the 6.31pm train on the same route, as well as the return train at 6.33pm.
Transport for Wales said that services between Wolverhampton and Birmingham may also be cancelled as a result of the issues.
Customers are being asked to check before they travel.
Jan Chaudhry-Van der Velde, Chief Operations Officer at Transport for Wales, said: "The safety of our customers and colleagues remains our top priority.
"Our Class 175 trains will not be allowed into passenger service again until each train has had its engines checked and repaired, and has passed the relevant safety inspections. This programme of work is happening as we speak, at Chester depot, where these trains are maintained on our behalf by CAF Rail UK.
"An initial supply of materials is available for the repair programme, and further parts are being sourced from overseas to speed up the process. The position will improve each week, and the completion of the repair programme is expected to go into April.
"Whilst this leaves us with a temporary shortage of rolling stock, other fleets are being spread out across the Wales and Borders network, and timetables have been adjusted to try and impact the fewest number of passengers.
"We’re very sorry for the disruption to customers’ journeys while we carry out this essential work."

BLUES ENTERTAINER HAS CD RELEASE AT JAX
New Orleans blues entertainer Scott Detweiler, a former Burbank resident, will celebrate the release of his new CD from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. today at Jax Bar and Grill, 339 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale. There is no cover and no minimum.
“Made In New Orleans” contains 11 original songs from Detweiler’s catalog of music.
The CD has been produced by VAVV Records. In March, Detweiler walked into VAVV Recording Studios while scouting for a studio to produce a CD for a client. Ironically, he was offered a recording contract. During the course of his career, spanning more than 20 years, Detweiler has independently released eight CDs and countless live CDs; however, this marks his first affiliation with a recording company.
He premiered an original blues chamber composition, “The Sun Will Rise,” and then performed a set with his band in October at the Madrid Theatre in Canoga Park.
After studying jazz at Loyola in New Orleans and music composition at the University of New Orleans, Detweiler privately studied orchestration in the home of Ellis Marsalis.
In Los Angeles, he studied writing for strings with Henry Mancini and lyric writing at with K.A. Parker. For more information, go to www.myspace.com/ scottdetweiler.
