Michael Wayne Heede, Jr.
Sergeant, United States Marine Corps
U.S. Department of Defense
IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 519-09
DoD Identifies Marine Casualties
The Department of Defense announced today the death of two Marines who were supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
Sergeant Michael W. Heede Jr., 22, of Delta, Pennsylania, and Staff Ssergeant David S. Spicer, 33, of Zanesfield, Ohio, died July 13, 2009, while supporting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan.
Heede was assigned to 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Pendleton, Califfornia.
Spicer was assigned to 8th Engineer Support Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
For additional background information on Heede, news media representatives may contact the 1st Marine Division public affairs office at (760) 725-8766.
For additional background information on Spicer,
news media representatives may contact the II Marine Expeditionary Force
public affairs office at (910) 451-7200.
Heede was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
He was killed last month in the Helmand Province in Afghanistan.
Heede was a 2005 graduate of Kennard Dale High
School in the Southeastern School District.
16 July 2009:
He was a cross-country star in high school, an incurable optimist and a young man who wanted to be a Marine so badly that he signed up when he was 16, two years before they could take him in.
Now Michael W. Heede of Edgewood, a combat engineer on his third tour of duty overseas, has become one of the latest casualties in the increasingly deadly U.S.-led war in Afghanistan.
"I'm now a member of a club I never thought I'd join - mothers of young people killed in the war," his mother, Gloria Crothers, said Wednesday.
Heede, 22, was one of two Marine sergeants from Maryland whose remains were returned to Dover Air Force Base Wednesday, two days after both died in an IED explosion during fighting in Helmand province, according to the Department of Defense.
Staff Sergeant David S. Spicer, 33, of Olney, was killed alongside him.
The Pentagon announced the deaths in a statement Wednesday. A few hours later, at 1 p.m., their bodies arrived at the Delaware base, where a Marine Corps transfer team moved their flag-draped coffins from a 747 jet to a transport vehicle during a solemn military service known as a dignified transfer.
As 15 of Heede's family members and several of Spicer's loved ones looked on, a team of seven Marines and a representative of Dover Air Force Base held their salutes as the coffins passed, and the vehicle slowly drove away, its lights flashing.
The event lasted about 15 minutes, said Air Force Captain Heather Garrett, a spokeswoman for mortuary affairs at the base.
"The Air Force and Marine Corps showed the utmost respect," Crothers said, "but nothing can help right now."
Perhaps she never envisioned such an end because her son, who spent most of his formative years in Delta, Pennsylvania, was such a gung-ho Marine. He told her at the start of his junior year at Kennard-Dale High School in Fawn Grove, Pennsylvania, where he was a cross-country star, that he wanted to sign up for a delayed-entry program that would commit him to a Marine career. He only needed his parents' signature.
She made him wait a year as a kind of test.
"As a senior, he still wanted it," Crothers said. "He never wavered. Michael was a Marine through and through."
Heede enlisted in September 2005, went to boot camp at Parris Island, South Caroline, and even wrote letters home praising the grueling training.
"I thought maybe they made him say those things," Crothers said.
According to a letter sent by a superior at Camp Pendleton, California, Heede distinguished himself with his intelligence, discipline, responsibility and positive attitude, attributes that earned him enough trust that he oversaw an armory at the base.
Heede, a veteran of the Iraq war, volunteered
for deployment to Afghanistan, his mother said, because two buddies were
going. He was assigned to the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine
Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force. During his military career, he
won the Combat Action Ribbon, the National Defense Service Medal and a
Navy Unit Commendation Medal, among other honors.
But Wednesday Bowers and other former co-workers of Heede received the bad news that Heede, 22, of Delta, was killed Monday in Afghanistan.
He was a sergeant and combat engineer for the Marines and had previously served in Iraq with the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment from November 2006 to April, 2007, according to the Marines.
"Oh my goodness what a tragedy," Bowers said Wednesday shortly after learning of Heede's death. Bowers said Heede was a hard worker who had been "thrilled" to join the Marines. He said Heede had passed up opportunities to join the U.S. Air Force and the Army in order to pursue a career with the Marines.
Superintendent Tracy Shank of the South Eastern School District said Heede was a well-liked student who was active in several sports, including basketball and cross country. "He was a great kid," Shank said.
Shank said she knew Heede planned to join the military. She said she remembered that Heede wanted to be an underwater welder. Shank said she and the school district have been "very honored and very proud to have him as part of the family here at South Eastern."
Vicki Hammons, who works at Hickory Dicks, said Heede was a nice kid who was excited to join the military. Soon after Heede enlisted, he returned to Hickory Dicks in his full Marine uniform for a Christmas Party, Hammons said.
"It just really upset me when I heard that he died," Hammons said.
Bowers said Heede used to get in trouble "like teenagers do." But Bowers said Heede always came to work on time and worked hard.
Sandy Franke, who bought the Hickory Dicks restaurant from Bowers, said she remembers Heede stopping by after he completed boot camp. "He came back and visited all the time," Franke said. "Everybody loved him. It's a really bad loss."
In a statement Wednesday, the 1st Marine Division said it is mourning the loss of Heede and the Marines wished to send its condolences to the family.
In Delta Wednesday, flags were lowered to half-staff in honor of Heede at the Old Line Museum and the John S. Murphy Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7130.

A series of virtual game nights hosted by the Thompson Rivers University Students’ Union (TRUSU) during the COVID-19 pandemic brought students together to build a sense of community, while adhering to the provincial health safety guidelines.
More than 350 students from Thompson Rivers University (TRU) attended a total of six virtual game nights hosted by TRUSU between January 2021 and April 2021, winning prizes valued at roughly $2,000.
“The vast majority of students at TRU did not sign up for online courses when the pandemic began,” explained Keegan Lawrence, TRUSU vice-president, “so we wanted to help build a sense of community for students and to facilitate meaningful social interactions for new friendships to form in a fun, yet safe environment. A series of virtual game nights was a humbling way to break up the winter doldrums.”
TRUSU’s entertainment committee pivoted from hosting in-person events for students toward a health and wellness approach focused on disrupting social isolation in a meaningful way. That way students could meet their peers, while staying safe and adhering to the provincial health officer’s safety guidelines during the pandemic.
“We know it has been a long year and it’s easy to feel isolated,” said Parth Patel, TRUSU entertainment coordinator. “As we navigate through this global health care crisis, we continue to look for ways that we can connect students with each other during their academic journey at TRU.”
If you have any suggestions for socially distanced entertainment events in the future, please drop us a line with your recommendations.

Greetings! I am so glad you decided to take this step in your journey of life. I believe counseling is a special tool to allow you to progress in a new direction. I believe we all have the answers, but we need assistance navigating to them. I would like to be the passenger with the map, but allow you to drive.
I work with ages 14 and up that are dealing with challenges such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relational difficulties, and many other areas through an integrative approach. There is no “one size fits all” which allows me to draw from techniques from orientations such as CBT, REBT, person-centered, and psychodynamic therapy to best assist my clients. If you desire to integrate faith, I also provide Christian counseling services.
More importantly, I create a safe, non-judgmental space to be comfortable. Therapy is effective through baby steps and you have already taken the first step by coming here, let’s continue the journey.

NBL Partnership Meeting
Newington Community Centre
21st October 2015
Liam Clark (NBL Apprentice)
Cara Thorpe (NBL Community Development Officer)
Marie Thomas (Newington Community centre manager)
Charlie Fox (LTO)
Carl Adams (NBL Rep)
Tammy Sains (Resident)
Hannah Todd (Resident NBL Ambassador)
Richard Nicholson (NBL Chair)
Mike Harrison (NCA board)
Sam Voak (Resident)
Sandra Herring (Resident)
Bob Mower (Academy FM)
Becky Vincer (People United)
Sarah Fox (People United)
Hannah Rhodes (Forrest School)
Keven Gabrial (NBL Gardener & Resident)
Carl was chairing the NBL Partnership meeting welcomed everyone to the Newington Community Centre where the meeting was held.
Carl read the names from the list which were Stephanie Todd, TessLuetchford, SimonCrouchman and Sarah Nicholson.
The next part on the agenda was the chair update. Stephanie Todd the former NBL chair stepped down from her position for 6 months due to personal issues. Richard Nicholson was suggested to be the Standing Chair until Stephanie was ready to return, the group had a discussion about this subject and there were positives and negatives about Richard taking this position. Here are some examples.
- Very well resected
- Easy to get along with
- Former councillor
- Not a Resident in Newington
After the discussion about these positives and negatives the group voted and it was decided that Richard would become Chair.
The new Apprentice Liam Clark was introduced by Sam Voak. Sam explained who Liam is and what he does as an Apprentice for NBL.
Carl introduced Keven the NBL Gardener. Keven explained how he works with Simon in the Copse and also explained what he does for NBL, he explained how he is working on the Secret Garden project with Hannah Todd, SandrraSudds and Sandra Herring. Keven then went on to explain his Background and what he has done in his life, he mentioned that he was in child care for 20 years and how he changed careers a few times going from child care to a maintenance man to now being a gardener for NBL.
Hannah Rhodes from the Forrest school came into the meeting and introduced herself and told the group what she does. Hannah explained that she worked at the Chilton free school, at the school she does a project which is the Forrest school which gives children from the age’s11-15 experience on how to live and survive in a Forrest. Hannah mentioned how she is trained and qualified to do the Forrest school and wants to give up her job at Chilton and become a full time Forrest school teacher because at the moment she is only doing 2 days a week Forrest school. Hannah went on to say that she would like to have the children that are said to not be able to handle being in a class rooms. Richard asked what she would like NBL to do to help her and she said she would like to use the Copse area for the Forrest school but there was a downside Hannah wanted to charge people to use the Forrest school, but NBL use the Copse as a free space for the schools to use for fun and educational reasons. The group was worried that If Hannah used the Copse for her Forrest school that it may push Simon out of the Copse which can’t happen because Simon has built the copse up to what it is now and is where Simon works. Another issue that was raised with Hannah was insurance which Hannah said she would insure herself. At the end of the discussion it was decided that the group needed to talk to Simon as he was absent at the meeting to get his views on the Hannah and the Forrest school.
Bob Mower from Academy FM was invited to the meeting to discuss the issues and what was happening on the radio station Academy FM. Bob mentioned that they have recently gained a new apprentice for the radio station which could help bring new skills and new people to Academy FM, he also mentioned that if NBL decided that they need to do a broadcast of some sort that there is a spare studio in the radio station that we could use if necessary this shows that Academy FM are committed and supportive of NBL. NBL have worked with the radio station before and done a broadcast at the opening of the Green Roof Shelter, which is the community hub for Newington. Emma, Hannah Todd and Ben have the option to go into Academy FM and use their facilities in needed. Bob also raised an issue of money problems because the radio station is no longer being financially supported by Roger De Han who was the chairman of the Marlowe Academy before it was merged with the Ellington & Hereson School to become the Royal Harbour Academy. Bob requested if NBL could support them financially due to a Donation NBL made to the Radio station last year.

Should Cities Run Subways Later to Attract Young Professionals?
Late-night transit options may make a city more attractive to younger generations, but running trains around the clock has its drawbacks.
Do you want your city to become the next mecca for the young, talented and tech savvy? Then do as they’re doing in Boston and expand your late-night transit service. This spring Boston plans to extend service until 3 a.m. on the weekends, in the hopes of gaining an edge with young professionals.
Judging by the enthusiastic reaction (especially on Twitter), you would think the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, often the target of commuters’ laments, was now as popular as the Red Sox. That’s obviously a stretch, but it’s true that the extra hours the city’s subways, light rail, streetcars and buses will run—while modest—will add a certain cachet to the city. “It gets us closer to the 21st-century transportation system we’ve been fighting for,” Lizzi Weyant, an advocacy director for Transportation for Massachusetts, recently told The Boston Globe.
That’s the same language used to describe the impact of London’s plans to run some of its subway lines 24 hours on weekends, starting in 2015. The announcement portrayed the move as a way to create a “21st-century tube service.” As young professionals, many of whom are car-free, seek out vibrant cities in which to live and work, this is seen as a way to attract them, especially those who work in the burgeoning tech industry, which is known for its unconventional working hours.
Already, Chicago, New York City and parts of Philadelphia run transit systems 24 hours a day. Washington, D.C., also has weekend service until 3 a.m. But for most of America’s cities with extensive rail and bus systems, service barely extends past midnight. Urbanists say hot spots such as Denver; Los Angeles; Portland, Ore.; San Francisco; and Seattle, may want to rethink their hours of service if they want to attract and retain young workers. Taking a bus or a train is less expensive than a cab and more convenient than walking, says Yonah Freemark, a transportation expert who writes the Transport Politic blog. “Transit at all times ensures that mobility is available to everyone.”
But running trains around the clock has its drawbacks. The main one is that it’s costly. Boston will spend $20 million (though the city will rely on some private funding to cover costs) on its one-year extended-hour pilot program. London is already battling transit unions to add automation and cut 750 ticket booth jobs to help defray the expense of 24-hour service on the weekends. Extra hours could also make it harder to schedule maintenance, which is usually done in the wee hours of the morning during the week and on weekends.
Both London and Boston hope to make the new service attractive by running trains every 10 to 15 minutes. It will undoubtedly be great for bar hoppers, but it will only help a small segment of those who happen to work the graveyard shift. Freemark says city transit officials have to ask themselves whether providing improved service after midnight is more valuable than just increasing service during the day when the vast majority of people ride the trains. “If it is, then 24-hour operations might be a good idea,” he says. “If not, then transit systems should be focusing on the times when most people use them.
An earlier version of this article incorrectly identified the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. It is not the Metropolitan Boston Transit Authority. We regret the error.

Environmental Activism and the Urban Crisis: Baltimore, St. Louis, Chicago (Urban Life, Landscape and Policy)
Robert Gioielli (Author)
Available / dispatched within 1 - 4 weeks
Environmental Activism and the Urban Crisis focuses on the wave of environmental activism and grassroots movements that swept through America's older, industrial cities during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Robert Gioielli offers incisive case studies of Baltimore, St. Louis, and Chicago to show how urban activism developed as an impassioned response to a host of racial, social, and political conflicts. As deindustrialization, urban renewal, and suburbanization caused the decline of the urban environment, residents--primarily African Americans and working-class whites--organized to protect their families and communities from health threats and environmental destruction. Gioielli examines various groups' activism in response to specific environmental problems caused by the urban crisis in each city. In doing so, he forms concrete connections between environmentalism, the African American freedom struggle, and various urban social movements such as highway protests in Baltimore and air pollution activism in Chicago. Eventually, the efforts of these activists paved the way for the emergence of a new movement-environmental justice.

“We are troubled by [American Airline’s] wealth transfer of nearly $1 billion to its labor groups,” JP Morgan analyst Jamie Baker said. Wall Street doesn’t want the money wasted on the little people, like workers and customers. (From the Huffington Post). Wall $treet investment banks like J.P. Morgan are most noted for their greed and snootiness about it, and their hiring nasty corporate lawyers and lobbyists to get their way. Investment bankers are bullies. But no one in the recent history of Wall $treet has ever uttered as contemptible a remark as did JAMIE BAKER, this carnival barker for profiteering off airline workers and consumers. JAME BAKER Sounds like the kind of sick, twisted, capricious person DONALD JOHN TRJUMP would hire in his Whitey House. From Huffington Post:
At 40 of the 100 largest airports, a single airline controls a majority of the market, as measured by the number of seats for sale, up from 34 airports a decade earlier. At 93 of the top 100, one or two airlines control a majority of the seats, an increase from 78 airports, according to AP’s analysis of data from Diio, an airline-schedule tracking service.

In organic stores, supermarkets, parapharmacies and above all, in our plates, food supplements are everywhere. But is this craze justified? Answer on July 9, 2019 on France 5 with the documentary “Dietary supplements: cure of intox?”.
In addition to having invaded our dailies in a very short time, food supplements make many promises. Weight loss, hair growth, stress reduction … their (pseudo) benefits are many. But is the craze around all these pills really justified? This is the question that the director Ludivine Favrel asked herself. She signs Dietary supplements: cure d’intox?, A documentary broadcast this Tuesday, July 9, 2019 at 23:55 on France 5. Back for the occasion on four things unknown about them.
# 1 The French people consume a lot (too much?)
According to the INCA 2 study conducted in 2007 by the National Agency for Food Safety, Environment and Labor (ANSES), the French and French are major consumers of supplements food. One in five adults would take it all year for 23% of them. Thus, 150 million boxes of these pills are sold each year in France to solve all kinds of problems. And they seduce more and more people. According to a recent OpinionWay poll for Synadiet, 46% of French people have already consumed dietary supplements in their lifetime. However, the National Agency for Food Safety, Environment and Labor (ANSES) has already made some recommendations about them. “In the absence of pathologies” and as part of a “varied diet associated with physical activity”, “consumption of food supplements is not necessary,” said the experts.
# 2 The market is extremely lucrative
This great fervor brings a lot of money to the various laboratories. In 2018, the French market for food supplements weighed almost two billion euros in sales, 1.9 billion precisely (OpinionWay survey for Synadiet, January 2019).
# 3 Their marketing is not regulated
While this is the case for all drugs in France, the sale of food supplements is not regulated by a marketing authorization and this poses several problems. The first is the absence of a clinical trial. They are only controlled by the Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) which has no obligation to do so. Second problem, and not least: they can be taken without a prescription and strengthen, not without risk, self-medication.
# 4 They are now closely scrutinized
To cope with this massive and sometimes excessive consumption, ANSES launched a program to monitor the adverse effects of nutrition and dietary supplements in 2009, Nutrivigilance. This program plays a key role today in identifying the potential risks associated with food supplements, but also with energizing drinks and foods. Since its launch, more than 4,000 adverse events have been reported, 9 out of 10 being fully attributed to these supplements.

ALBANY — Nearly 19,000 Dougherty County residents may have been infected with the novel coronavirus this year, far eclipsing the official tally gleaned from previous testing, according to the results of a study conducted earlier this year.
The report from Augusta University Health, which collected samples that were tested for blood antibodies in September, comes with some caveats, however.
Some of the data gathered was shared on Friday during a coronavirus news conference with city, county and medical leaders. The testing was funded jointly by the city of Albany, Dougherty County and the Dougherty County School System.
The study missed the target goal of at least 1,000 participants, with only 613 residents participating. Also, south and east Albany, which were the hardest hit by the pandemic in the spring, were underrepresented in the samples.
Of those who provided samples for testing, 21.53 percent tested positive for antibodies to the virus, indicating that they had been infected at some point.
“If representative of the population, this would suggest that as many as 18,900 persons in Dougherty County have experienced and recovered from COVID-19 as opposed to the 3,354 reported to date,” was a conclusion noted in the report.
The 3,354 figure comes from those residents who have had positive test results from testing performed in the county.
“This goes to reinforce what we had already been told, that many, most of the people, who have been infected with the virus show little or no symptoms,” Albany Mayor Bo Dorough said.
The highest infection rate among those who had antibody testing was among those 71 years and older. Out of 38 tested, 10 had blood antibodies, indicating exposure to the covonavirus, a rate of 36.3 percent.
The largest sample was provided among those ages 51 to 60, with 205 participating, of whom 47 were positive, a rate of 22.9 percent.
The tests partially confirmed what already was known. Dougherty County was one of the biggest hot spots in the world during the worst of the crisis here beginning in mid-March. There have been 198 confirmed virus-related deaths of county residents since then and five listed as probably COVID-related, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health.
According to researchers, “21.53 percent was a very high number for this community in comparison with other communities where they have done antibody testing,” Dougherty County Commission Chairman Chris Cohilas said.
On Friday, 24 patients were being treated for COVID-19 at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, Dr. James Black, the hospital’s director for emergency medicine, said. Of those, 25 percent were from surrounding communities, some of which helped out Phoebe at the time it was overwhelmed with patients.
During the crisis, some people have been reluctant to seek help for treatment of serious health conditions, Black said, which could have serious implications. One elderly stroke victim recently waited three days before seeking medical care, he said. During the time lost, the patient could have received medications to reduce the severity of her condition.
“She said she knew she was having a stroke, but she was scared,” Black said. “Coronavirus is in front of us, but let’s make sure we are taking care of our chronic and acute health conditions.”
Nearly all COVID patients are being treated at the hospital’s North Campus on Palmyra Road, and there are protocols in place to prevent the spread of the disease at the hospital’s facilities, Black said.
The physician also suggested that residents think about how they will celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Traveling to, or having guests from, a hot spot could spread the disease in the community.
“We realize that brings certain challenges,” he said of celebrating a holiday during a pandemic, where elderly family members in particular may want to see loved ones. “I think we can do that the smart way. We want to continue to be disciplined.
“We’ve been recommending limiting your travel, limiting your gatherings and consider having meals outside. Just because they’re related to you doesn’t mean they don’t pose a risk.”
While virtual gatherings online are not ideal, it is one option to consider to protect those who may be at risk, Cohilas said. Compared to where the county was in the spring, conditions are now much improved.
“I am thankful for that in this Thanksgiving season,” Cohilas said. “Here in Dougherty County, we have so much to be thankful for. We have overcome tremendous odds, maybe more than any other community I have seen that has faced something of this type.”

Connor Watson is set to return to the field for the nib Newcastle Knights in time for this weeks Old Boys Day clash with the Gold Coast.
No.9 to return and forward sidelined
Watson missed last week’s game in Campbelltown with a knee injury, however Head of Physical Performance Balin Cupples says the handy utility has progressed well since copping the knock.
“Connor went down last week with a minor MCL strain, he’s worked through last week with Alter-G running and come out of the brace,” Cupples said.
“He’s nailed those early return to run sessions on the field in the last couple of days.
“He’s still got some key sessions he’ll need to hit tomorrow and Wednesday, but all going to plan we should see Connor return to the squad this weekend.”
Glasby: Disappointment and playing for pride
The good news continues on the injury front, with Danny Levi cleared of any serious damage after coming from the field on Saturday night.
“Danny came off with about 15 to go on the weekend,” Cupples said.
“He’s pulled up really well, so will be another one available come the Titans game.”
The news wasn’t so good for Pasami Saulo, with the young prop’s season likely over thanks to an injury to his finger.
“Last week in the Cup game he (Saulo) got a central tendon injury with his index finger,” Cupples said.
“That rules him out of the next few weeks and takes him into the off season.
“He’ll be able to build through all his running progressions with a hand injury and we’ll make sure he’s ready to go come season kick-off.”

WAKE FOREST, N.C. (WTVD) -- Dozens of hot dogs on a grill manned by Wake Forest firefighters were part of an outreach campaign organized by Town Commissioner Nick Sliwinski Saturday.
The food, along with music and more interactive activities outside and inside the Wake Forest Renaissance Center were part of the town's first Wellness and Self Care Fair.
"Absolutely," said the town's community outreach manager Andrew Brown.
He told ABC11 the fair's focus included depression, suicide awareness, veterans benefits, and senior benefits.
"Some of the things that we're most concerned about. But you also do have family that are coping with youth and family issues, especially when you get into the holidays. You want to have just shown where resources are available in Wake Forest," Brown said.
Commissioner Sliwinski choked up several times while sharing his struggles in college with depression.
"It turned out a couple of months into my freshman semester, things were more difficult to adjust. Tough to wake up in the morning, tough to fall asleep at night. It was kind of this, I guess, the struggle of how to really function on my own, which I thought everyone was going through," he said.
"It turned out it was a lot more than that. After my first year, you know, grades came in and I remember my mom sitting with me on the porch and going. 'Oh, your grades are in. What's this all about?' And all I could get out was, 'Something's not right.' So 19-year-old me went and saw my family physician, and he said pretty definitively, 'This is absolutely undiagnosed depression where I do everything we can to help you' and gave you the name of the therapist to go see."
Sliwinski said nothing made sense at the time but after sitting with the therapist 'it finally clicked.'
"I loved going back to school. The following semester and back on my own, something wasn't right again, to the point where at 20 years old, I had decided that 20 years was enough. And if it weren't for a good friend who knocked on my door ...I would not be here today. I would not have my wonderful wife, my two beautiful children, and even two years later, every time I see that man or talk to him, I thank him," he said.
"It wasn't something that was typically talked about growing up. So, yeah, I fear that people are unable to not only speak in front of folks but to loved ones, to people, because there is still a stigma. There is that feeling that, well, you're just sad when it can be a whole lot more than that."
The resources provided to those who attended the fair were designed to help people of all ages feel better while learning how to help themselves and others cope.
"Yes. And that's why we got the music playing at the free food," said Brown. "We also have our police department here because people need to know where we have several crisis intervention officers so that if there's a mental health emergency, you don't necessarily want to call 911, and that lets them know that it's a mental health emergency."
If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health concerns and would like help, text or call 988 for help and assistance.

Top ODM MP quits party over ‘poor’ leadership
Mr Arama announced that he will be seeking re-election on a different party ticket come 2017.
Arama – who was speaking in his constituency – accused the ODM party of lacking leadership and discipline.
He further pointed out that his relationship with the party has gotten worse and he is not comfortable.
Arama added that he has a right to decide on which party to use since politicians often change parties during elections when they seek votes from the electorate that best represents them.
The MP at the same time vowed to work with the Jubilee government saying that his constituents have benefited from various development projects courtesy of his good working relations with the Jubilee administration.
The ODM legislator though has to contend with the Political Parties Act of 2011 that states that any political member who in any way or manner, publicly advocates for the formation of another political party; or promotes the ideology, interests or policies of another political party; shall, notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) or the provisions of any other written law, be deemed to have resigned from the previous political party.

The 3 main printing techniques for classic stamps
For classic French stamps, those issued between 1849 and 1876, two printing techniques were used: surface-printed and lithography.
These simplified diagrams below present a summary of these printing techniques. Line-engraved was also added because it was being used, around the same time, to print the first British stamps.
|Printing techniques for stamps. Source: Faux et truqués, JF Brun, 1980.|
All classic French stamps, from Yvert & Tellier #1 (Scott #1) to Y&T #60 (Sc. #58) were printed by the surface-printed (typography) technique except those called "Bordeaux issues" (Y&T #39, Sc. #38 to Y&T #49, Sc. #48), printed in lithography.
|Y&T#1,Sc.#1, Ceres 10 centimes, bister on yellowish, surface-printed.|

Kacey Ko 高嘉莉
高嘉莉(Kacey)，出生於香港，主修心理學科並以獎學金成績榮譽畢業。Kacey 認為都市人一直努力地應對 家庭、社會期望和情感困惑, 但隨之而來的孤獨感給內心留下了一個難以修補的缺失。自 2013 年接觸油 畫開始,一直專注探索藝術與心理之間的連繫，並研究藝術如何以最純粹的形式重新連結內在的自我。 一份充滿活力、完整和富有同情心的內心深處, 是靈魂所居住的世界。kacey鍾愛以特別的雲彩、樹、河流和山脈，來配合其風景題材，作品通過一層層色彩的交疊、形態和變化，流露大自然那份自由的本質，試圖啟發觀賞者觀照內心深處那份活力、圓滿和富有同情心的感悟。
Kacey Ko is an up and coming artist who fell in love with oil painting the moment she started painting in 2013. She has been developing her own unique style since, through trial and error and by exchanging ideas with other artists. Ko studied psychology and continues to explore its relationship with the arts. She is particularly interested in experimenting how art as a medium helps us reconnect with our true selves. The depiction of natural scenery is undoubtedly a sight to behold for those who have long been barred from travels, yearning for a means of escape. However, rather than painting a realistic account of natural landscapes, the artist blends moments of realism and fantasy to conjure works that will seem familiar, yet foreign, and as such refreshing to the eye.

- 1 Stonyfield Organic Plain Whole Milk Probiotic Yogurt.
- 2 Siggi’s Vanilla Skyr Whole Milk Yogurt.
- 3 GT’s Cocoyo Living Coconut Yogurt, Raspberry.
- Best High-Protein Yogurt.
- 5 Chobani Greek Yogurt, Less Sugar, Low-Fat, Wild Blueberry.
- 6 Yoplait Light, Strawberry.
Does store bought Greek yogurt have probiotics?
High-quality yogurt contains scores of beneficial bacteria that boost your gut health. The problem is that most store-bought varieties miss the quality mark for three main reasons. Ideally, “good yogurt” should contain only full-fat grass-fed raw milk and live probiotic cultures.
Does Oikos yogurt have live bacteria?
What bacterial cultures are used in Oikos greek yogurt? Oikos greek yogurt is made from two bacterial strains, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, which are found in all yogurts. Since Oikos greek yogurt is drained, it contains even less lactose than regular yogurt.
Why Greek yogurt is bad for you?
1. Because Greek yogurt can be made with bones and bugs. As with many yogurts, some Greek varieties add gelatin, which is made by boiling animals’ skin, tendons, ligaments, or bones. Many also add carmine to make the yogurt appear to contain more fruit than it does.
Does Greek yogurt have more probiotics than regular yogurt?
Regular yogurt has more calcium and probiotics than Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt. Kefir has more probiotics than either of the yogurts.
Which brand of Greek yogurt is the healthiest?
The 15 healthiest Greek yogurt brands.

Is Activia better than Greek yogurt?
According to Dannon, Activia Greek offers the same digestive health benefits as Activia, but with the taste and texture of Greek yogurt that US consumers are increasingly demanding.
Which Greek yogurt has the least sugar?
1. Chobani Less Sugar, Gili Cherry. Strained yogurts (like Greek varieties) have more protein and fat, which satiate you and keep you full and fueled for longer periods of time. This Chobani option is great for that reason, plus it contains less sugar.
Which yogurt brand has the most probiotics?
In this article, we will be looking at which yogurt has the most probiotics.
- Fage Total Greek Yogurt.
- Stonyfield Farm Organic Yogurt.
- Brown Cow Whole Milk Yogurt.
- Dannon Activia Yogurt.

Does 0 fat Greek yogurt have probiotics?
Plain, Nonfat Greek Yogurt Also, it contains probiotic cultures and is lower in lactose and has twice the protein content of regular yogurts.
Does Activia have more probiotics than other yogurt?
Dannon (of course) says yes. Their Activia yogurt contains Bifidus regularis, a probiotic strain trademarked by Dannon that is not in other yogurts, and they claim that this particular strain speeds wastes through the digestive system and improves immunity in the intestines more effectively than other strains.
Is Oikos Greek yogurt good for you?
The whole thing only has 200 calories and eight grams of sugar — and you feel like you’re eating something naughtier than plain yogurt. Oikos is Dannon’s Greek yogurt line, and the Triple Zero products are the healthiest offshoot. Those zeros stand for zero fat, zero added sugars, and zero artificial sweeteners.
What’s the healthiest yogurt?
While this list is by no means exhaustive, here are a few types of yogurt that are healthy choices.
- Stonyfield Organic. Stonyfield Organic is a good brand to choose if you like to buy organic.
- Dannon All Natural. Dannon’s All Natural line of yogurts is a good example of healthy yogurt.
- Fage Total Plain.
Is Oikos yogurt good for weight loss?
Boosting metabolism Despite its protein content, eating Greek yogurt alone is unlikely to make a person burn more calories. But eating Greek yogurt, as part of a balanced diet that includes enough protein, fibrous carbohydrates, and healthful fats may aid weight loss and boost metabolism.

What a night to remember – made possible by Joan Osborne and the Holmes Brothers when they brought their craft to the intimate surroundings of Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley in Seattle. I’ll call it a fantastic “twofer.”
The Holmes Brothers can still deliver and reach their audience. They started out with some tunes from their latest release, Brotherhood, to a very appreciative crowd. They were then joined on stage by Osborne and her pianist Keith Cotton, to solo on a few of her standards, including “Spider Web.”
The Holmes Brothers then joined in to accompany Osborne on a few more tunes, and they finished the show with her 1995 hit “One Of Us.”
The applause said it all. Yet another stellar show hosted by Jazz Alley.

During the design phase of the next solar car, more than 500 different aerodynamic models were constructed. The best design was chosen based upon drag resistance. In order to get this value as low as possible, the design was often changed millimeter by millimeter. It’s therefore of great importance that the aerodynamical shape is produced perfectly. This is ensured by molds that fit the chosen design. The molds of the seventh Belgian solar car were made in Slovenia and had to be transported to our production facility in Belgium. And this needs to be done as fast as possible.
DSV Road nv was prepared to provide the transport at three different moments to make sure the molds were transported directly so there wouldn’t be any delay on the production. DSV Road nv has also done this for the previous team and were immediately prepared to take on the transport of the molds. They help green projects like ours, since they believe it’s their corporate responsibility to help for a better environment. They are also working on tests with the first electrical truck in Germany. Because of this green mindset, they are very enthusiastic to support sustainable projects like the Solar Team.
The contact was always very easy and DSV Road nv was very flexible regarding the transport of the molds. They were prepared to do some last-minute adjustments in the dates of transport to make sure our molds would be on location as soon as possible. If you ask us, the collaboration with DSV Road nv will continue for a long time!

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday questioned the central government on how the private healthcare facilities were getting COVID-19 vaccines, when the Delhi government is allegedly not getting them.
“I want to ask the central government, if the Delhi government wants to vaccinate its youth, what is your problem? When the Delhi government says we want to vaccinate the youth, then you say that companies don’t have any vaccines. But the central government arranges vaccines from these companies to private hospitals and they vaccinate people at high rates.”
“If the central government doesn’t have vaccines for youth to give to state governments, then where are vaccines coming from to give to private hospitals?” he asked.
Delhi has been facing a shortage of vaccines and vaccination of 18-44 age group has not been happening in government schools for the past five days.

The art-making process can be one of doubt and self-criticism. The book Art and Fear suggests that artists are not alone in their existential quandaries. The book offers a psychological exposition of the artist in any medium and suggests how to avoid the major pitfalls on the path of making art.
The authors, David Bayles and Ted Orland, go through extensive detail explaining how artists can eventually talk themselves out of making art, as well as how to silence the voices of uncertainty in order to fulfill their goals.
Art and Fear openly discusses issues of jealousy, the difficulties in making art, how to view outside criticism, fears about one’s self, and fears about seeking approval from others.
It proposes the idea that art is an internal process as much as it is an external one of gaining an understanding of a medium.
“Making art is dangerous and revealing. Making art precipitates self-doubt, stirring deep waters that lay between what you know you should be, and what you fear you might be.” There again, the authors say that “making art gives substance to your sense of self.”
We inevitably find out who we are through making art, and our art informs us of who we are.
The idea of perfection invites particularly interesting discussion. The authors state that “to require perfection is to invite paralysis.” Striving for perfection, one loses one’s self in an idea with little substance.
To illustrate this point, the author detailed a study conducted in a ceramics class.
“The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of the work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality.”
The authors go on to explain the results of the experiment, which as you’d expect, favor the quantity-over-quality group. The quantity group in the end produced pottery that was of higher quality.
“It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work –and learning from their mistakes—the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.”
There’s also the question of following your own parameters and what works for you. The authors likened “habit” to “style.” Having a set framework for your art may be a good thing; to make art based on who you are and your personality instead of using an external, and unfamiliar source.
Aspiring artists and anyone in a creative field can undoubtedly take a much way from Art and Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Art making.
“Art and Fear” is published by Image Continuum Press, 2001.
Tim Gebhart is an artist residing in Menasha, Wisc.
