Scores according to KAYAK customer reviews
Pros: "We were boarding with one person in a wheelchair. They were extremely helpful and understanding."
Cons: "All was perfect"
Pros: "We didn’t crash."
Cons: "We continue not to crash."
Cons: "Bags didn't get loaded, plane delayed. Poor customer service."
Pros: "Slightly frayed due to weather- we were kept up to date"
Cons: "My SAS flight (which was operated by Air Canada) was delayed by more than 2 hours. A friend who was a fellow passenger was charged for 1 piece of baggage. She should have gotten a break from the baggage fee because of the delayed departure. That's another thing. Why is it that some passengers (like my friends and I) didn't have to pay for our checked baggage, but some passengers (like my other friend) had to fork out a fee for her checked baggage? While we were waiting for our trash (after our meals) to be picked up by a lady crew member, she took so long chatting with a couple of passengers that we had to wait a few minutes before she can get our trash. By then I was dying to get to the bathroom and nearly had an accident as a result. In the future, I'll try to avoid flying with any SAS flight (operated by Air Canada) if I can help it."
Cons: "SFO checkin was very poor. Had to go through 3 different check in agents and 2 terminals. Itinerary showed terminal 3 but the actual check in was at the international and with United! Need to improve on getting this direction communicated better from the start to end."
Pros: "The seating is well laid out and the service aboard the flight was excellent. Wonderful duck entree."
Cons: "Flight left two hours late and provided difficulty in Toronto"
Pros: "I liked how the crew was helpful and wanted to help everyone with their luggage. they didn’t disturb me in my sleep and didn’t walked around a lot. The flight timing was on time and it landed on time as well so that was very satisfying."
Cons: "I didn’t like the sitting of the airplane. It looks more like sitting in a local bus and its not very spacious. On an average these days most people in Canada are tall and above the height of 5’7 feet. I didn’t like how seats are small and have less space for legs and plus the next person to me keep disturbing me cuz he was as tall as me and we both hardly fit in the seat. I am only 6 feet and slim and still had issues. I mean for domestic flight that’s only two hours I can manage sitting in a uncomfortable position but if it was a long flight then i would definitely not be happy and won’t fly with Air Canada again."
Pros: "Was on time both take off and reached"
Cons: "They served frozen food."
Pros: "on time."
Pros: "flight attendants were very nice"
Cons: "not even peanuts! seats seemed even more crammed together than usual"
Pros: "No wasted time, they load you up and get you where you want to be."
Cons: "Be sure to gate check anything larger than a small backpack or purse. There is little room on board for carry-on's"
Pros: "Flight crew was vey nice and flight was on time."
Cons: "Delayed, missed connection"
Pros: "plenty of room, media player, wifi, nice selection of snacks and meals."
Cons: "Several hours late due to repairs, despite the plane originating from Air Canada's hub. Seems they should have had a spare available to not delay us the several hours that they did. As I live 2 hours from the airport, it was not until I got there to check in that I was aware of the delay."
Cons: "Flight was 1h late"
Cons: "No entertainment and poor seat selection process"
Pros: "fast, friendly, clean, courteous, easy to check in and board."
Cons: "No complimentary food, small seats as always."
Pros: "Staff were good, probably doing the best they could with what they had to work with."
Cons: "I'm 6'4" and a Air Canada Rouge 737 isn't built for guys/girls like me. Give us a bit more legroom!"
Pros: "They were on time and boarding went quickly"
Cons: "Even though I checked in online they didn't have 2 seats next to each other for us despite us having booked together under a single booking as couple etc. the food was small portions and mediocre / blunt taste."
Pros: "There are thousands of national brands that are kosher. It's not difficult to find products that all passengers can enjoy."
Pros: "The flight was half empty so was able to have a role to myself"
Cons: "Air Canada Rouge should be renamed Air Canada Rude. Employees are very un-friendly; Seat design on the plane is the most uncomfortable of any airline out there. Very close to each other and very little padding on cushion of seat. Dirty plane; don’t think they serviced it between flights, garbage in each seat pouch. Very cold on flight, crew did not regulate the climate control. Too many unnecessary announcements both in English then French. Each announcement seemed like it lasted about 10 minutes which no one listen. So much for trying to watch a movie that pauses every time the crew feels the needs to talk. Sat at gate for 30 minutes pass departure time without any explanation until right before we departed (waiting on passengers from late arriving flights). At lease they could have told us. Anyhow this is not the Air Canada of old. Air Canada Rouge shows no signs that they care about the comfort of their passengers."
Pros: "A reasonable amount of leg room (I'm 6'1" and didn't have my knees pressed against the seat ahead), decent selection of films, and regular food--airplane food, but decent for that."
Pros: "Delayed without cell phone text notification update."
Pros: "Check in was smooth"
Cons: "I find it unacceptable that 1 bag was free on the inbound flight, but I had to pay extra to check the same bag on my return."
Cons: "Airline oversold seats for my son's flight -- even though I bought my ticket back in April for a flight in November. This is absolutely ridiculous."
Pros: "When I finally got to the US Customs agents they were actually quite nice. This has been my experience with US agents in Vancouver and Philadelphia as well. Yesterday they were especially cordial, while at the same time quite professional. Made me proud to be a US citizen."
Cons: "Don't know what could be done about it, but the security liine was the longest I've ever seen. I've come home from Vancouver many times before, and most times I fly direct to the USA from YVR, where things are much better. Don't think it's Tornoto's fault.....but, yesterday's experience with the security line makes it unlikely that I will come back home this way again."
Pros: "I breathe threw my neck & I'm used to putting the air blower on my neck for extra air. These planes had none. We were surprised. And room between the seats was tight."
Pros: "Small plane but very comfortable. This flight as well as the other 3 we were on were on time with a professional staff. 5 Stars for this Air Canada!"
Pros: "I liked that the boarding process was quick and easy. There were no hiccups."
Cons: "The snacks sucked. There was nothing offered that was really good."
Pros: "A very pleasant 9-hour flight. Plenty of room and good entertainment."
Pros: "Short enough flight."
Cons: "Entirely too little leg-room. Crew kept banging my elbow and knee with food cart-didn't really care either."
Pros: "Personnel were friendly aircraft was clean"
Cons: "The horrendously long lines going through security!! I am 77. My husband is 81. Standing in those very long lines was extremely fatiguing. To the point we are rethinking ever flying again. They were bad bookends to an otherwise great trip."
Pros: "Great! The passport check in Lisbon was backed-up, but Air Canada held the plane for many passengers. It was a great flight! Highly recommend!"
Pros: "All of our luggage arrived at our destination in a timely manner. Staff was helpful."
Cons: "Checking in our suitcase took exceptionally long."
Pros: "Entertainment selections and accommodations for not being able to make my connecting flight do to delays were good."
Pros: "It was ok."
Cons: "Not clean aircraft. My luggage left behind in Toronto.No entertainment unless you knew by chance that you need to download an application and having your own device.."
Cons: "extreme delays and not a lot of updates"
Pros: "Smooth boarding. Polite staff."
Cons: "Check-in person did not attach priority tag to luggage (business class) until i argued with her. This is the second time Air Canada has done this. We paid a lot extra for this service and should not have to quibble with staff in order to receive it. There was no lounge in Charlottetown, but that's not the airline's fault. However, the Air Canada lounge at Pearson was shabby and poorly outfitted. Shameful."
Pros: "They were on time. We weren't told of any mechanical issues with the plane that could cause delays. Stewardess were helpful and courteous."
Pros: "They were able to put me on standby for the next flight and I made it on. I would have been upset if had to wait for the last flight at 10:55pm. I understand this is not always in the airports control."
Cons: "My flight from Montreal to Ottawa was canceled and I almost had a panic attack. I was flying alone for the first time."
Cons: "IFE and food were awful. Space was cramped, lights left on for a night flight. AirCanada headphone rules are just dumb."
Cons: "Did not appreciate not having a movie screen. Renting an iPad for such an expensive flight is not good business."
Pros: "The bilingual announcements. The movie selections."
Cons: "Most of the staff were rude and made me feel like an inconvenience any time I needed something. Due to delays leaving Heathrow and arriving in Ontario, my 2 1/2 hour layover was reduced to 30 minutes. And because I was transfering to a flight to the US, I had to sprint through 6 security checkpoints. I made it to my flight, but my bag did not. My bag was not delivered to me until 1 am the following day."
Pros: "Every thing was on time. I really like booking with kayak...so simple"
Cons: "Air canada doesn't give a snack with your drink...where as west jet does."

This is the fourth article in our series regarding the roots of Lincoln City. This article focuses on Cutler City, one of the five original communities of Lincoln City, each with an interesting past.
The Early Days
The Dawes Act of 1887 opened up the Oregon coast to settlers. It provided acreages to new colonists and Siletz tribal members. The promise of free land drew people to the area, but getting there was another matter.
North Lincoln County homesteaders used the old Salmon River route to travel in the area, but it was little more than a trail. It followed the Salmon River, rocky slopes and passed through very deep forest. The abundance of timber and the access to the river made it the ideal spot for the lumber industry, but the road was barely passable and only during the dry seasons of the year. It was hardly an attractive prospect for settlers traveling with all their worldly possessions.
Nonetheless, settlers did arrive. The first non-natives came to Drift Creek in 1896, and by 1905 the first sawmill appeared. Even after many road improvements, the area was still almost inaccessible. You could reach it on horseback, by boat, or by wading across the water at low tide. A swinging foot bridge across Schooner Creek improved access by 1911.
The Cutlers from Dallas, Oregon were the first to purchase land in the area and by 1913 the Lincoln County Court approved the Cutler City town site. Within the next decade, a dairy also appeared near Drift Creek, but the lack of a passable road limited the population. This all changed with the completion of the Roosevelt Military Highway in 1927, linking all Oregon coast cities.
The Automobile Boom
The area was suddenly connected to the surge of automobiles traveling on the newly built highway. Automobile camping soared during the 20’s and by 1930 the town had the official name Cutler City, an archway at its entrance, and its own auto park with picturesque cottages.
Cutler City became known for its stunning rhododendrons and the ideal getaway for a vacation. Consequently, vacation cottages sprang up with picturesque views and quaint gardens. The town progressed slowly through the Great Depression, bringing new residents and new businesses to the area.
The start of World War II brought development to a standstill. Gasoline shortages and blackouts quashed the tourist industry and any events designed to entice people to the area. However, the lumber industry continued to flourish due to the need for timber throughout the war.
The end of World War II triggered an economic boom in the U.S., and Cutler City came to life again. The population doubled and many new businesses appeared. Cutler City was less affluent than many other towns, but it had a strong, proud, independent working class community.
When discussions began regarding amalgamating Oceanlake, Taft, Nelscott, Delake, and Cutler City residents were reluctant and skeptical. When the proposal final won approval in 1965, Cutler City’s vote was only 73 yes and 69 no, hardly a landslide. Regardless, Cutler City became Lincoln City along with the other communities.
Cutler City Today
Old Cutler City lies between Schooner and Drift Creeks. It is primarily residential, but a few notable historic buildings still stand. The Cutler City Tavern (photo courtesy North Lincoln County Historical Museum) is now the Bay House and the Kangas Brothers Dairy Barn still echo Cutler City’s early days, although they’ve undergone renovations. You’ll also find antique shops, an art gallery, and the relaxing Josephine Young Memorial Park if you need to unwind.
If you’re interested in exploring historic Cutler City, why not stay in a comfortable Lincoln City beach rental with stunning ocean views and high-end amenities. These well-appointed condominiums offer stunning ocean views and high-end amenities including HDTV, wireless internet, an exercise room, a heated indoor pool and a games room, just to name a few.

No relief: Bama extends UK's slide
Alabama came into Rupp Arena missing its best player and without a quality victory this season. It left with a 68-64 victory that might not qualify as an impressive resume builder, but the Crimson Tide certainly dealt Kentucky another major jolt to the system.
The loss dropped Kentucky to 0-2 in Southeastern Conference play, the first time that has happened since the infamous Team Turmoil year in 2002. It's also the first time the Cats have lost three consecutive games in more than five years. The two home defeats marked the first time since 1974 that UK had lost back-to-back home games.
"I don't know that I can put (how I feel) into words," UK coach Tubby Smith said. "This is a real disappointment. All year long we've struggled with a lot of things."
The latest defeat highlighted some of the same issues the Cats have been facing for most of the season. The Cats continued to moonlight as masons, missing shots from all over the floor, but it was the second half defensive collapse and myriad of critical turnovers that drilled the final nails in the Cats' coffin.
Three times in the final minutes UK threw to ball away, and nearly did a fourth time when Ramel Bradley attempted a horrible entry pass to Randolph Morris. Meanwhile on the other end of the floor, Alabama's Jermareo Davidson was having him way in the post, scoring 10 points in the final seven minutes on with slick post up moves.
"It's another game where we didn't execute, didn't play smart," Smith said. "Alabama executed and did what they had to do. When you let a team shoot 72 percent (in the second half), you are not doing much defensively.
"We turned the ball over in situations where we had to make a play. We want to put the ball in certain guys' hands and we just didn't at all. We were throwing the ball all over the place in the second half for no reason."
UK led for much of the game, but watched a 53-48 lead with nine minutes left slip away. Alabama went on a 12-0 run that turned the deficit into a 60-53 lead with 4:31 remaining. The Cats rallied with eight straight points to reclaim the lead at 64-63 on a Rajon Rondo drive, but Alabama's Jermareo Davidson capped his career day with a three-point play at 1:01 to give the Tide the lead for good.
Davidson was nearly unstoppable in the post, connecting on 10-of-14 shots from the field and 8-of-12 from the line. He also added eight rebounds and had UK shaking its head throughout the afternoon.
"He is an outstanding player," sophomore center Randolph Morris said of Davidson. "I have to give him his props. We got away from trapping in the post. I wasn't as focused as I should have been. It was a lack of mental toughness."
Having lost Wooden Award candidate Chuck Davis to a season-ending knee injury earlier in the week, Alabama ran most of its simplified offense through Davidson and the Cats weren't able to slow him down. Alabama's offense was so dominant Ð or UK's defense so lacking Ð the Tide did not miss a single field goal attempt in the game's final 11 minutes.
"Jermareo, for a stretch, played as well as he has for us," Alabama coach Mark Gottfried said. "We just wanted to go to him. We just tried to keep it simple."
UK didn't go quietly though. Trailing 63-56 at the final media timeout, the Cats came out and got a three from Bradley, a turnover by Davidson and then another triple by Ravi Moss as the shot clock ticked down to pull within 63-62. After Rondo drew a charge on Alabama's Ronald Steele, he drove the lane and flicked in a bank shot while being fouled to give UK the lead, but he missed the free throw attempt.
Those were the final points UK would score, although it did end a three-game streak where 60 were an unreachable goal. Davidson followed up Rondo's drive by spinning on Sheray Thomas and completing an old-fashioned three-point play to put Bama up 66-64.
The Cats called two timeouts in its next possession trying to set up a play to tie the score, but were unable to get the ball inside and settled for a long, errant three-point attempt by Rondo that resulted in a shot clock violation. Steele made one free throw on the other end to push the lead to three, but Bradley barely nicked the front iron with a long three-point effort that sealed the Cats' loss.
"I'm at a loss for words," Thomas said. "It's disappointing. I don't know what it is. We've been playing close games and things aren't going our way because we haven't made them go our way.
"This is the worst feeling."

Purpose: The major objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the coping strategies of glaucoma patients at a secondary eye care unit with a view to deciding whether an intervention programme would be justified.
Patients and Methods: The coping styles of 130 consenting adult glaucoma patients aged 18 years and above who were being treated for glaucoma in the Cross River State Eye Care Programme clinic in Calabar, Nigeria, were investigated by means of the 28-item Brief-COPE inventory in this descriptive cross-sectional study.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 54.2 years (± 14.3) while almost three quarters (73.8%) of them were married. About four out of every five persons examined (81.5%) had a minimum of primary education. “Substance (alcohol and other drug) use”, “self-blame” and “behavioural disengagement” are coping styles that were reported by 33%, 42% and 42% of the participants, respectively. This group of patients should be identified in the clinic for appropriate psychological intervention.
Conclusion: The present study confirms previous findings and contributes additional evidence that suggests that coping strategies should be considered in the holistic management of glaucoma patients. The information from the current study can be used to develop targeted interventions aimed at improving the coping styles of glaucoma patients.
Keywords: adults, coping styles, Brief-COPE inventory, Cross River State
Glaucoma affects an increasing number of people worldwide and is the leading cause of irreversible blindness and significant visual impairment or low vision.1 Low vision has been noted as one of the most important reasons for poor quality of life, anxiety and poor adaptation.2 Thus, coping with stress seems especially important for adaptation to low vision.3 Several studies have associated poor health-related quality of life with glaucoma,4–11 with resultant adoption of different methods of coping with chronic eye disease.
Coping has been defined as
cognitive and behavioural efforts to manage specific external or internal demands (and conflicts between them) that are appraised as taxing or exceeding the resources of a person.12
The use of some coping strategies such as seeking comfort in religious beliefs and practices may prove beneficial for the person.13 On the other hand, the use of some other coping methods such as “substance use” may be termed “maladaptive” and may result in poorer health outcomes for the patients.
Knowledge of coping styles is important in the care of patients, as these coping methods can be identified and to some extent modified by the attending clinician,13
towards ensuring that the glaucoma patient copes positively with the chronic disease.
At the time of this research, no published study was found in Nigeria where glaucoma is a major cause of visual impairment and blindness,14 or in any other part of Africa to have assessed the coping strategies in patients with glaucoma. Since patient perceptions of disease and methods of coping are heavily influenced by culture and ethnicity,9 it would be difficult to generalise results from studies on coping in other regions. It is therefore important that a study on the coping methods of glaucoma patients be conducted in this part of the world. It is against this background that this study was conducted to examine the coping strategies of glaucoma patients at a secondary eye care facility in Calabar, Nigeria with a view to obtaining evidence-based information that could be used to provide psychosocial support to glaucoma patients in the setting.
Patients and Methods
Study Design and Setting
This descriptive cross-sectional research was conducted among adult glaucoma patients (aged 18 years and above) of the Cross River State Eye Care Programme clinic in Calabar, Nigeria from 1 February 2016 to 21 May 2016. The clinic which is a secondary eye care facility is in Calabar Municipal within Calabar Metropolis, the capital city of Cross River State of Nigeria. Calabar has an area of 406km2 and a population of 371,022 at the 2006 national census.15 The clinic is a high-volume centre that attends to an average of 100 patients a day with a range of 80 to 120 patients. About 8 glaucoma patients are attended to each working day. The participants for this study were drawn from this population of patients.
Ethical clearance was obtained from the Cross River State Health Research Ethics Committee. The ophthalmologist in charge of the Cross River State Eye Care Programme clinic in Calabar also gave approval for conducting the study.
Participant consent was written informed consent, and this study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
Sample Size Determination
The sample size was determined based on the primary outcome and calculated using the formula:16
n = minimum sample size (when population is >10,000)
z = Standard error of the mean which corresponds to 95% confidence level (1.96)
p = Proportion of coping strategies we anticipated within the sample size which was 0.92 (92%).
q = 1-p
d = Precision with which p is determined which is 5% (0.05)
10% of 113 = (10 x 113)/100
Allowing for 10% attrition, n becomes 113 + 11.3 = 124 (to the nearest whole number).
Thus, the minimum sample size required for the study was 124 as illustrated above.
The study population comprised men and women aged 18 years and above who had been diagnosed with glaucoma and had been on some form of treatment for glaucoma prior to the study. Lower age limit of 18 years was chosen because the targeted study populations were adults with glaucoma.
Individuals with the following criteria were included:
- Individuals aged 18 years and above with a diagnosis of glaucoma for a minimum period of 3 months.
- Daily use of topical glaucoma medications for at least 3 months.
- Individuals who gave informed consent.
These criteria helped to ensure that participants had an experience of living with glaucoma and receiving treatment and follow-up care.
Participants with concomitant ocular diseases that could significantly affect vision were excluded from the study.
The Cross River State Eye Care Programme clinic in Calabar was purposively selected for the study because it is the only public secondary eye care facility in Calabar that offers comprehensive eye care services to a teeming population of patients. All consecutive patients with glaucoma that attended the clinic during the period of the study who met the inclusion criteria and consented to the study were recruited as they presented to the clinic.4,17 An average of 4 participants were recruited per clinic day twice a week to achieve a total of 130 patients over a period of 4 months.
Instruments and Data Collection
With the help of pretested, semi-structured, self-administered questionnaires, information on sociodemographic characteristics was obtained. Written informed consent was obtained from each participant before data collection. Each participant was then administered the Brief-COPE inventory. The Brief-COPE inventory (available online: http://www.psy.miami.edu/faculty/ccarver/sclBrCOPE.html) developed by Professor Charles Carver at the University of Miami is one of the most commonly used validated coping measures. It is a 28-item questionnaire on 14 different ways of coping (2 questions per type) with the stress of a chronic disease.18 This includes, for instance, “religion” (I have been praying or meditating), “venting” (I have been expressing my negative feelings), and “substance use” (I have been using alcohol or other drugs to make myself feel better).13 Some of the participants that present to the Cross River State Eye Care Programme clinics are not literate, these items were therefore paraphrased into questions so that the questionnaire became interviewer-based. For instance, for “venting”, “Have you been expressing your negative feelings?” The responses to these questions were assessed on a 4-point Likert-type scale with answers ranging from 1 (“I’ve not done this at all”) to 4 (“I’ve been doing this a lot”).13 The questionnaires were administered in Pidgin English without back translation by a trained research assistant.
The scales in The Brief-COPE Inventory were computed as follows (with no reversals of coding):18 Self-distraction (items 1 and 19), active coping (items 2 and 7), denials (items 3 and 8), substance use (items 4 and 11), use of emotional support (items 5 and 15), use of instrumental support (items 10 and 23), behavioural disengagement (items 6 and 16), venting (items 9 and 21), positive reframing (items 12 and 17), planning (items 14 and 25), humour (items 18 and 28), acceptance (items 20 and 24), religion (items 22 and 27) and self-blame (items 13 and 26). There is no such thing as an “overall score” on The Brief-COPE measure. The developer of the scales recommends that each scale should be looked at separately to see what its relation is to other variables.18
As part of screening and service provision, ocular examination including presenting visual acuity was tested in each eye in all participants with an illuminated tumbling E Snellen chart at 6 metres. Anterior segment examination was carried out with a loupe magnification and a pen-torch. The intraocular pressure of each eye was assessed with a Goldmann applanation tonometer attached to a Carl Zeiss slit lamp mounted on a motorized stand. The posterior segment was examined in a dimly lit room, with a direct ophthalmoscope (HEINE BETA200 LED ophthalmoscope, HEINE Optotechnik, Germany) through an undilated pupil and a slit lamp biomicroscopy with a Volk 78 D lens through a dilated pupil. Ocular examination of all the participants as well as documentation of the findings in examination proforma was performed by an ophthalmologist (ENE).
The questionnaires were reviewed daily and entered in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) database (Version 20, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) for analysis. Descriptive statistics (frequencies and proportions) were used to summarize variables.
A total of 130 participants, from an initial sample of 137 (95% response rate), took part in the study. There were more males than females in the study sample (69/130, 53.1%). The mean age of participants was 54.2 years (±14.3). Most of the study participants were in the age range of 41 to 60 years (64/130, 49.2%) (Table 1). Nearly three quarters of the study population (73.8%) were married while almost 9 out of every 10 persons examined belong to the most popular religion in southern Nigeria: Christianity. Just below a fifth of those surveyed had no formal education (Table 1).
Table 1 Socio-Demographic Characteristics of Study Participants (N=130)
Frequency of the Coping Mechanisms Adopted by the Study Participants
It can be seen from the data in Table 2 that the commonest coping strategies reported by the respondents were the subscales: “Acceptance” (130/130, 100.0%), “Active coping” (129/130, 99.2%), “Religion” (124/130, 95.4%) and “Venting” (124/130, 95.4%).
Table 2 Frequency of the Coping Methods (Brief-COPE Subscales) Practiced by Study Participants
Glaucoma has a huge impact on the quality of life of patients owing to its chronic nature, associated deterioration of visual function and its lifelong treatment.19 It may affect an individual’s quality of life in various ways: psychological sequelae of diagnosis (e.g. fear of blindness), the visual effects of glaucoma (such as visual field loss), the side-effects of treatment (medical or surgical) and the economic impact from direct and indirect costs.20 The Brief-COPE Inventory was used to assess the coping methods that are commonly adopted by glaucoma patients in an attempt to adapt to the reduced quality of life that is associated with this eye disease.
In this study, nearly half of the participants were in the age group 41 to 60 years. This finding is consistent with the widely held view that glaucoma is commoner among those over 40 years of age.21 The lower number of participants in the age group 61 years and above (compared to the age group 41 to 60 years) (Table 1) can be explained by the report that the life expectancy for Nigerian males is 52.4 years and 53.1 years for females.22 Nearly three quarters of the study population (73.8%) were married and therefore had some form of family support. Family support has been found to have a significant association with good mental health.23 These findings may, therefore, help us to better understand the coping strategies reported by the participants in this study.
Individual’s coping responses to threats and stressors (such as fear of blindness from glaucoma) are key determinants of their psychological adjustment and well-being.24 The commonest coping strategy reported in the current study was acceptance. This was followed by active coping which has been found to be associated with better quality of life and less depression in a recent study.25 Active coping involves taking actions aimed at eliminating the stressor or reorganising its effects.26 In the present study, religion and venting was the third commonest coping strategy, after acceptance and active coping. These findings differ from a previous research in Pakistan which reported religion as the most frequent coping strategy in patients with anxiety and depression.13 The study which utilised the 28-item Brief-COPE inventory that was used in the current study, however, also reported acceptance and active coping as other commonly used coping methods. Even though the Pakistani study was not conducted primarily on glaucoma patients, it can be compared to the present study since glaucoma has been associated with anxiety and depression.27 The overlapping of acceptance and religion in our study may be explained anecdotally that those who are religious are more likely to accept glaucoma as the will of God. This could probably explain why acceptance tops the list of the reported coping strategies. Religion and spirituality offer a source of hope. The belief in an omnipotent God who helps an individual through a difficulty can be mentally beneficial and enhance acceptance.28 A previous study that was conducted in Shanghai, China found religious involvement to be associated with better outcomes in the physical and mental health of the glaucoma patients that were studied.29 Religion plays a predominant role in the lives of many patients and may help them cope with their symptoms.28 These results provide further support for the hypothesis that incorporating a positive aspect of faith into health care may make medical practice more holistic.
The “Denial” scale of the Brief-COPE inventory was reported by some of the study participants as a coping strategy, including those that reported beneficial coping strategies (Table 3). Although in the short-term denial may offer an individual temporary relief from the stress of a “horrible” diagnosis or the fear of blindness, in the long term, denial can lead to deteriorated health outcomes.30 Denial has been associated with worse outcomes for a number of other chronic diseases such as type 1 diabetes31 and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.32
Table 3 Tallied Score of Beneficial and Maladaptive Coping Strategies
The least reported coping strategy in the current study was substance (alcohol and other drugs) use, followed by self-blame and behavioural disengagement which are all maladaptive coping styles that were also reported by some participants that reported positive coping methods (Table 3). These findings could be explained by the well-documented report that maladaptive coping strategies such as substance use are under-reported when assessed by self-reporting.33,34 The present findings seem to be consistent with another research which found substance use and behavioural disengagement the least used coping strategies.25 Behavioural disengagement involves giving up attempts aimed at tackling the stressor.26 Maladaptive coping styles may result in poorer health outcomes for the patients.35 A group of researchers in Malaysia who also found substance use and behavioural disengagement to be the least frequently used coping mechanisms reported that higher perceived stress was associated with frequent use of behavioural disengagement coping, lack of religious coping and lack of emotional support coping.26 An implication of this is the need for the attending clinician to identify this group of patients in the clinic through detailed clinical history-taking and institute appropriate psychological intervention (which may involve a psychiatrist) with the aim of modifying or replacing such negative coping strategies with more adaptive ones. Interventions (educational and self-care interventions) to target maladaptive coping strategies such as denial have been effective in other chronic diseases such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and chronic kidney disease.36 Thus, to improve the overall quality of life of glaucoma patients, there is a need to empower them with positive coping styles or discourage negative coping strategies. Counselling on positive coping strategies should be incorporated into the routine care of glaucoma patients. Such counselling can be provided by appropriately trained counsellors. This opens the door for consideration of an integrated biopsychosocial approach in the management of chronic illnesses like glaucoma.
Limitations of the Study
This study had a relatively low number of elderly respondents and a preponderance of the participants were married, had tertiary education and a constant source of income. This fact might have biased the results towards more positive coping strategies.
In this exploratory analysis of the coping strategies that glaucoma patients adopt in a secondary eye clinic in Calabar – Nigeria, positive coping strategies such as acceptance and active coping which have been associated with better quality of life and less depression were the most common coping strategies reported. Some glaucoma patients were however found to adopt maladaptive coping strategies such as substance use and self-blame which can lead to deteriorated health outcomes. These findings underline the importance of incorporating coping strategy assessment in the management of glaucoma patients. Furthermore, the findings from this exploratory study can be used to develop targeted multifaceted interventions (such as health education and counselling) aimed at improving the coping strategies of glaucoma patients.

This week has been a busy within the studio, as you can see from the below picture essay writing and sketchbook work have been colliding this week. Causing my desk to become an absolute mess. Lesson learned you must always keep the two separate. Drawing in the studio, writing stays at home.
But I have had an interesting breakthrough in my work, I was working one thread piece where I was wrapping a hoop on thread but it wouldn’t stay on. The thread feel onto my empty sketchbook and made this fantastic, intricate black line ‘drawing’ onto the page. As a result of this, I went to the photocopier and scanned it and I haven’t stop for the past week.
I have started “drawing” directly onto the photocopier glass. Using black and red threads and then I began printing onto plastic. I have found this amazingly interesting and I’m excited to try and show a relationship between the red and black threads through just the line of the thread (storyboard type drawings are the next step I think). But I’m also really interested within the display aspects of this, the layering of the plastic giving the images a great depth to them.
Another thing thats interesting is the display aspect of this work. Hanging from my textile pieces or hanging in front of my larger drawing. How these two objects could interact with each other and change the elements of each item. This could push my work in a new direction.
I always know when I’m on to something within my studio work. When I obsess over it and repeat it with as many different variations as I can think of. Finally a new process that has me excited!
Stay tuned to see how it develops!!

I’m tailoring an older boat trailer for an older aluminum Grumman canoe. The canoe is in good shape, and I want to keep it that way. The gunnels will ride on two supports spaced approx. 11ft apart. I’m deciding between lumber and PVC pipe for the supports, wanting something plenty strong with the right amount of give/flex for a gentle ride. The horizontal supports will each mount to two vertical pieces approx. 40" apart. What schedule and diameter PVC pipe would you recommend? Or, if wood is a better choice, how wide should the board be? All thoughts/advice appreciated.
I wouldn’t know how to secure PVC to the trailer. Grummans are tough as nails; pine won’t hurt aluminum beyond maybe burnishing a shiny spot. I’d over-engineer it with 2x4s flatwise and maybe eyebolts sticking up on the sides to make it easy to secure.
You don’t want a “gentle” ride. You need it to be securely and solidly mounted to the trailer without movement. A small, thin rubber pad where the gunwales contact give you good slip resistance and as much give as you want.
I carry my canoes on Yakima Keel over brackets and a similar one from Malone. They give a positive stop which prevents side to side movement and good grip to prevent front to back sliding.
You could also use pieces of vinyl tubing placed on the gunwales at contact points.
Use 2x4’s flat with eye bolts on the end. Go to an Industrial supply house that sells conveyor belts. Get strips of rough top rubber conveyor belt and screw it to the boards. Tying the canoe down using the eye bolts and belt the canoe won’t move.
A round support like PVC provides little contact with the gunwales even in large diameters. I like lumber or flat steel stock. I use old fire hose to cover the racks with. I have used a trailer for years after acquiring a heavy 18 foot cedar and canvas Old Town. The suspension is important. My little trailer has leaf springs and wants to hop on dirt roads.
I don’t recommend PVC pipe for a transport rack. In very hot weather it will sag and in cold weather it will become brittle with a tendency to beak. I use a custom 1¼" black steel ladder rack on my truck with Yakima saddles. In my shop I use the same pipe with Kee clamps to build a wheeled two kayak rack padded with foam pipe insulation…
These are expensive options, though. I would just use 2x4s. To pad it I would suggest pre-split closed cell foam pipe insulation. It’s sold in 6’ lengths at most hardware stores and is very inexpensive. It can be tacked down with roofing nails or tie-wrapped in place. I use it on my truck rack to protect the kayak when loading and it lasts for years exposed to the weather. If you don’t see the size of pipe insulation you need at a hardware store, check a plumbing supply store.
Unistrut or superstrut is a good material for this. The holes serve as tie down points, they are easy to mount to various items and the edges are rounded over

Serves good food, hot chapatis, and dosas. Looks clean. Very close to the temple. We didn't stay here. Just had some quick mean in the evening after Temple darshanam. Its at a walkable distance from the Chidambaram Nataraja Temple.
Very good eatery with lodging facilities. Good and tasty food with fast and smiling service. The taste of the food is just apt as South Indian cooking.Worth eating once at least. Very close to the Temple.
We had our dinner here after a visit to the temple. We were the only people in the place at 7:30 PM. They had a range of both North and South Indian food which was well prepared but nothing exceptional. It was also clean with...good filtered water. It was nice to have a quiet respite after three hours in the crowds at the temple. I ordered some stir-fired noodles with mushrooms and they came with veggies and no mushrooms. Otherwise the service was accurate.More
We had Lunch at this restaurant, though we arrived at 3 PM we had good food service. We ate the full meals and the servers were very attentive and provided us unlimited rice and kootu & poriyal varieties. The cost was very reasonable and the...service was very nice.More
Hotel provides delicious south indian meals and breakfast, do not try north indian and chinese food, it is not upto the standard. When you stay in hotel akshaya they give complementary breakfast for 2 persons. Breakfast is reasonably good.
The rooms are renovated with contemporary styles; rooms are very spacious now. Very comfortable. Stayed for 2 days in # 101. Staff are courteous. Maintenance is good and neat. Veg restaurant is ok. Breakfast which is complimentary, is really good and sumptuous. Parking space though...available, is cramped. My Honda city got scratches and minor dents while negotiating! Overall excellent place for a sojourn in a temple town.More

There seems to be much debate and difference of opinion about how to claw back excess profits as a result of granting planning permission (17 February). Is a strategy based on the following a possibility?
- The government or authorities buy up sites for future development (compulsory purchase and at appropriate market rates)
- Provide basic infrastructure
- Grant planning permission
- Sell at an appropriate market rate
- Allow purchasers to propose planning permission they would prefer (an alternative price is acceptable).

Updated from 9:34 a.m. EDT
says preliminary results of its large stock buyback proposal suggest that Carl C. Icahn will sell most of his shares in the company.
On Monday, Mylan's shares dropped 76 cents, or 3.9%, to $18.64. One hour after markets opened, more than 2.2 million Mylan shares had been traded. The average daily trade is 2.06 million shares,
This past weekend, Mylan reported that an initial count indicates it had met its goal of repurchasing $1 billion in stock. Mylan expects pay $19.50 a share for nearly 51.3 million shares tendered by investors, representing 19% of its common shares.
As for Icahn, the company's largest shareholder, Mylan said it had received a tender offer of almost 26.3 million shares at or below a price of $19.50 per share.
"While the exact identity of the shareholder responsible for this tender has not been disclosed, the company is aware that entities controlled by Carl Icahn" filed documents with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
on Nov.1 "that reported ownership of approximately the same number of shares," Mylan said.
Mylan expects to purchase about 94%, or 24.7 million shares, from the as-yet unnamed investor. Mylan is paying for 94% because the buyback was oversubscribed, so the company is repurchasing shares from all investors on a prorated basis.
Some analysts had predicted Icahn would sell some, but not all, of his Mylan shares.
By holding on to some shares, he can still press his case that Mylan's directors be replaced by a slate of directors that he nominated. The directors will be chosen at the company's annual meeting in late October.
If Icahn sells most of his shares, it's unclear whether he will pursue his offer of paying $20 a share for the rest of Mylan's stock. Mylan's board has rejected his offer. It is also unclear if and when Icahn would try to sell his remaining shares.
Icahn has built up his stake in Mylan, reaching a peak of 9.8%, since the company made a bid for
( KG) 12 months ago.
Icahn opposed the deal, which was cancelled in February, and has kept up his attack on the company's strategy and management.
Mylan announced plans for a stock buyback last month, setting a price range of $18 to $20.50 and choosing the best price that would enable it to achieve its buyback goal. Mylan also plans to repurchase another $250 million in stock on the open market after the auction is completed.
Analysts have put Icahn's cost basis for his Mylan shares at $17.46 a share. Mylan's stock closed at $17.70 on June 13, the day before the buyback was announced, and at $19.40 on Friday.
Icahn's involvement with Mylan is a near duplicate of his campaign at oil company
, which recently completed a Dutch auction of its own at a price that was well above market. In both cases, Icahn effectively brow beat management into investor-friendly actions including the buybacks and discouraged potentially dilutive acquisitions.
Icahn threatened a proxy battle for board representation at both companies before each borrowed heavily to finance their buybacks. Mylan repeatedly said its decision to launch the Dutch auction was not prompted by Icahn. At Kerr-McGee, an Icahn lawsuit predated the auction.

South Russian region drafts bill on denaturalization of terrorists
The legislative assembly of Dagestan has prepared and drafted a bill that, if passed, would strip Russian terrorists of their citizenship in the event of attacks on Russian military and law enforcers or other Russians in any part of the world.
The authors of the draft wrote in an explanatory note that such a step was necessary to secure the safety of the Russian Federation against international extremist and terrorist organizations, including groups which contain Russian members.
In its current form the draft orders the denaturalization of Russian citizens who participate in attacks on Russian military servicemen, including peacekeepers, and those who prepare and carry out terrorist attacks targeting Russian citizens and organizations, as well as the offices of Russian state bodies. The criteria of “participation” are strict, as even a trip abroad to join a terrorist organization can lead to the revoking of citizenship.
Dagestani lawmakers drafted the bill just days after the infamous terrorist group Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS and ISIL) circulated a video in which a man identified as a Russian citizen executed another Russian citizen by beheading him. The terrorists accused their victim of working for Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
The head of Russia’s Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, said on Thursday that the man killed in the video was a Russian citizen from Chechnya and promised to avenge his death by killing all those responsible for the beheading.

The music business is an ever-evolving industry. Let’s go in the music time machine for just a second. The Doo-Wop era of the 1950s; The British Invasion and the powerhouse known as Motown in the 1960s @TheRealDTLew
Episode #399 http://tobtr.com/9653637
GETTING TO KNOW DERRICK T. LEWIS
by Jacqueline Jax host of A.V.A Live Radio
The music business is an ever-evolving industry.
Let’s go in the music time machine for just a second. The Doo-Wop era of the 1950s; The British Invasion and the powerhouse known as Motown in the 1960s. The Funk and Disco era of the 1970s. The New Wave Sound, The Golden Age of Rap, Hair Bands, Pop artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Prince that was the 1980s, all the way to what’s going on now with music genres crossing over drastically. Like electronic dance music or dance hall music being intertwined into top 40 pop. Now in the spirit of all of that, think of how buying music has grown since the advent of Napster, iTunes, Amazon, then that evolves into music streaming services. Music is so accessible these days through multiple digital platforms, although I do miss the days of going to a record store and buying an album. The pros as an independent artist are that I’m enjoying the journey. The process of everything. It’s teaching me patience and I can appreciate it a lot more. The cons are trying to get everyone to hear your music. That takes what I call the Three P’s; Patience, Persistence, and Perseverance.
I would love 5 minutes alone with Madonna.
She’s 34 years in and is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. So I would love to pick her brain on some of the keys to her longevity, how she continues to evolve musically, creatively when it comes to her tours and how to balance life as a parent and an entertainer.
The name of the song is “Selfish Pride”.
The song is about being in love with someone and all of a sudden that person falls out of love and into the arms of someone else. It tells the story of the hurt and pain you go through when it comes to heartbreak and learning how to start over and never lose faith. I wrote the song about two years ago not knowing what I was going to do with it. I’m an actor so my primary focus is film, tv, etc. It was always a goal of mine since I was young to get into the studio and record. That’s mainly due to both of my parents being in the music industry and me being a music fan all of my life. My nephew who is a recording artist himself connected me with his producer Stefan Moessle who was in Jersey City, NJ. I went over some ideas I had and he had some concepts that I was on board with and that led to us having a great studio session with getting the track done and laying down my vocals. Then my other producer Aswad Samad who I was introduced to by my sister Erica, contributed his ad-lib vocals and sounds to the song to bring it home. Once Aswad mixed and mastered the song, “Selfish Pride” which was just a thought, then became an idea, had become a reality. I’m very lucky to have worked with some talented individuals that saw my vision and believed it could go far.
What the people can expect from “Selfish Pride” is the realism of the song.
The lyrics I feel are what everyday people go through in relationships. What’s special about it, in my opinion, is whether if it’s an avid music listener or a casual music listener, they can all connect with a song when it feels real. Just like the movies, you watch a film, get emotionally invested in the story, certain characters, and you hold onto that for a long time. That’s the lasting impression I want to have on people with my music.
Well, this is an interesting question.
I was raised in Newark, New Jersey. I’ve been living in Delaware for the past 11 years, but I’m New York City quite a bit for acting so my heart is always in NYC/NJ. I feel a but nomadic so to the speak due to life here in DE, then having to travel for acting in NYC and working on the song in NJ. The music scene in NYC and NJ has always been great because every time I’ve gone out to see artists perform, no matter how many people are there watching, they are giving it their all and putting on a great performance. Philly has that same vibe too. I used to watch my buddies in Even The Slept perform all the time in Philly and the bands that would go on before and after they were good. I don’t have a specific place that I go to listen to music. Whether its an 18000 seat arena, a 5000 seat amphitheater or a bar, if the music is good, that’s all that matters.

A team comprised of doctors and special medical researchers from Mount Sinai Health System and Sorrento Therapeutics – a pharmaceutical company – is working on cloning protective antibodies from COVID-19 survivors and then mass-producing the treatment.
If everything goes well, the pharmaceutical cocktail shall be available by the end of the year. The whole world is currently looking for preventive treatment to battle coronavirus. Doctors have enlisted thousands of survivors for the sole purpose of cloning their immune systems’ antibodies thus being able to save people who are being infected with COVID-19.
Mount Sinai Health System’s Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Innovation Officer Erik Lium said, ‘We’re working with pharma and biotech partners, such as Sorrento, to bring much-needed therapies to the clinic. We look forward to advancing the development of an effective antibody cocktail with Sorrento.’
Once these antibodies have been administered to an uninfected person, their immune system might be able to stand a chance against the coronavirus. Sorrento CEO Henry Ji believes that the treatment might be able to provide protection to patients for up to two entire months. Ji said, ‘A vaccine takes time to generate immunity and not everyone will respond to a vaccine, especially the elderly and immune-compromised patients. A neutralizing antibody cocktail bypassed the need for a patient to respond to a vaccine and gives instant immunity upon injection.’
Thanks to the partnership with Mount Sinai, Sorrento Therapeutics will have access to blood samples of 15,000 patients. All of these patients have undergone the coronavirus screening thanks to the diagnostic test that was developed by Florian Krammer who is a microbiologist at Mount Sinai.
Henry Ji also said in a press release, ‘It is our belief that as we re-open the country and the economy, we will see local flare-ups of the infectious spread of SARS-CoV-2. Unfortunately, with coronaviruses, mutations are part of the equation and could render therapies ineffective over time.’ Clinical trials are scheduled for the following months and will be carried out on uninfected and sick patients. The team will be submitting an experimental treatment to the FDA for approval by September 2020. Henry Ji also said, ‘We anticipate that we will have the antibodies identified by the end of May and product ready for the clinic mid-July.’

Parents were outraged after a law passed in Arizona made it so any contact between an adult and a child's genitals, including giving your own child a bath or changing their diaper, would be considered criminal.
A law intended to help protect children from child molesters left parents distressed and outraged after the specifics of the law, which stated that diaper changing would be considered an offense, were revealed, according to Mad World News.
Following the initial controversy, the Arizona State court continued to back the law, stating that "prosecutors are unlikely to charge parents engaged in innocent conduct."
The law stated that an individual is guilty of child molestation if he or she "intentionally or knowingly ... touches ... any part of the genitals, anus, or female breast," of a child "under fifteen years of age." It did not require that the "touching" be sexual.
The court then ruled that defendants would need to prove their "lack of sexual intent" in such cases.
John Pfaff, a law professor at Fordham University, discussed the potential negative implications of the Arizona law.
"The majority’s logic has one final defect: It utterly ignores the reality of plea bargaining, which is how more than 90 percent of criminal cases in America are resolved," Pfaff said. "Given the immense expense and hassle of a trial, many defendants are pressured into striking a deal with a prosecutor, trading a lighter sentence for an admission of guilt. Arizona prosecutors can now dangle the threat of a probable child molestation conviction to coerce any parent of a young child into taking a plea deal on unrelated charges. With the state Supreme Court’s help, Arizona’s child molestation laws have been weaponized into a tool for prosecutorial harassment, allowing the state to target any parent or caregiver -- out of spite or malice, or simply to boost their conviction rates."
He continued: "This terrible decision has gutted constitutional rights and turned many of the state’s residents into unknowing criminals. Barring intervention by the U.S. Supreme Court, due process has now been suspended for Arizona’s parents and caregivers."
After several months of the law being in effect, a federal judge ruled that the law is unconstitutional, reports Slate.
U.S. District Judge Neil V. Wake said the government is responsible for proving each element of a crime beyond reasonable doubt. He said the law shifted that responsibility to the defendant, forcing him or her to disprove "the very thing that makes child molestation child molestation."
Because of this, Wake said that the law "violates the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantees of due process and of proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."

BBC greenlights Les Miserables drama
Writer Andrew Davies reunites with the production team behind War and Peace for Victor Hugo classic.
Harvey Weinstein, Weinstein Television, says: “Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables is one of the greatest novels of all time – and while the musical is one of my favorites this will be completely different. An intense and serious drama that will find contemporary relevance to what’s going on in the world today.
“I’m thrilled to be reunited with Faith Penhale and Simon Vaughan, my partners from War and Peace, with Charlotte Moore from the BBC, and of course, with Andrew Davies who wrote War and Peace. I think the BBC and Weinstein Television collaboration are a new paradigm in the telling of classics – they’re modern and yet respectful. And, with the exception of James Bond, nobody does it better than Andrew Davies.”


When it comes to the former Greenpoint Hospital Campus, Community Board #1 has run out of “patients” with the City of New York over the future of the campus. “CB #1 remains utterly dismayed at the continuous delays plaguing the sites development,“said Board Chair Dealice Fuller. Three competitive requests for proposal (RFP’s) have been released for the campus over 30 years and have yet to produce one unit of affordable housing! However in contrast under the GREC Community Plan together in partnership with HPD has produced 45 units of housing and a community Facility.
Board members were angry that HPD presented a new planning process they call a visioning session that totally ignored and disrespected the long-term community planning. “HPD made no mention of the GREC planning process. My husband and I have devoted 30 years to rebuilding the campus and HPD just ignored our effort in their presentation at Community Board 1’s October 14th meeting. The Board spoke with a united clear voice that the RFP process has not worked and only delayed development,” said Jane Peterson, Chairperson for Greenpoint Renaissance Enterprise Corporation.
The HPD presentation did not make reference to the existing community plan for the former hospital complex. Jan Peterson, the Chairperson for Greenpoint Renaissance Enterprise Corporation indicated that the community has successfully renovated 5 buildings within the complex and did these developments all in partnership with HPD. Moreover, the community has made continuing efforts to develop the property that has encountered one obstacle after another.
The City’s plan calls for bringing in a private developer through a RFP process. However, community leaders indicate that the City has now used three competitive RFPs processes and has not built one unit of affordable housing in over 30 years.
