And when the inevitable question, "should I use my fingers or use a pick?" comes along, again, the answer should be "yes." Think of it this way: each new technique or idea you have when learning the guitar is like getting a new crayon. Yes, you can certainly create marvelous art with five or six crayons but, being lazy myself, I'd rather have a box of one hundred and eighty-eight crayons to choose from.
Moreover (and pardon the pun), finger style guitar is not all that hard to pick up. In fact, it's quite easy for most people to get started. And what I'd like to do with this lesson is to get you started. We'll also toss in an easy song to help you practice your newfound finger picking skills.
Remember that we've done some work on finger picking before. The Guitar Noise Easy Songs for Beginners Lesson on The House of the Rising Sun is an excellent place to start if you've not made any previous attempts to play finger style. Those patterns are simple arpeggios and will help you to just get used to the idea of tossing your fingers about on the guitar strings.
In this lesson, we're going to tackle a style of finger picking called Travis picking. This is named after Merle Travis, one of country music's enduring legends, whose guitar work gained him fame before he was twenty. Nowadays, people say "Travis picking" in much the same way we use words like "Xerox" to mean all photocopying, or "Coke" to mean all soft drinks. But the specific characteristics of Travis picking is the steady, almost metronome-like use of the thumb to play bass notes while the other fingers dance over the higher strings.
And it's this use of the thumb that offers most beginning guitarists something besides a fancy way of playing. Travis picking is an excellent way to help one develop a steady sense of rhythm.
For the sake of this lesson, let's get on the same page as far as finger labeling. And I mean the fingers of your picking hand, not the one on the neck!
"T" will be your thumb.
"i" will be your index finger.
"m" will be your middle finger.
"a" will be your ring finger.
As I mentioned in the House of the Rising Sun lesson, if I was trying to teach you correct form and function, you'd use your thumb to play notes on the three lowest strings (low E, A and D), your ring finger on the first (high E) string, your middle finger on the B string and your index finger on the G string. But, as you can see in our very first example, we're not going to go strictly with those guidelines. The goal here is to use the thumb to keep the beat and if that means it's playing a "forbidden string" for our lesson, so be it.
Okay, back to our thumb. See if you can work Example 1 without looking at your hands. Either hand. A good benchmark to set for yourself with almost anything on the guitar is to try to play a technique without looking at your hands. Then while singing or holding a conversation. If you can get to that point with these simple finger picking exercises in this lesson, then you're well on your way to becoming fairly proficient at basic finger style guitar.
You can see and hear how the notes played by the fingers are coming in on the off-beats, right in between the notes played by the thumb, which are on the beat. The fingers are also moving in the same direction as the thumb, namely one string closer to the floor.
The first time you try this, you want to work slowly. It also helps immensely to count out loud (as I'm doing in the MP3) in order to keep your thumb going with the correct timing. You probably won't have to do that for long. And you'll also be surprised that your fingers will get faster and faster before you know it.
Also, don't be too concerned about a name for this particular pattern, or any pattern for that matter. We're calling it "parallel motion;" some teachers call it "inside out," some call it "Fred" (don't ask!). Rather, think about this: One of the fascinating things about finger style guitar is how quickly most people's fingers take to a pattern. But that's also one of the biggest traps of finger picking. Once your fingers latch on to a pattern, it's hard to break out of it and you can find yourself sounding a bit robotic.
So let's change our pattern, shall we? How about reversing how we play the fingers?
Many of you will find this "contrary motion" (or "outside in," if you prefer) pattern a little easier. It's used in many, many songs and, again with some practice, you should find that your hands take to it pretty well.
Pretty good for someone who's just started finger picking, huh? This is why I'm harping on getting to the point where you don't have to think about it. When you can trust your picking hand to do its job, then you can get fancy with the chord changes and even staying on a single chord offers more musical possibilities than you might imagine.
The patterns for the A chord, since A is a "root five" chord, will also work for Am and C, not to mention A7 and C7 or other variations of these chords that you know in open position. Likewise the patterns for G will serve you perfectly fine if you're playing any other "root six" position chord, such as E or Em.
The other thing to note here is that you also have other options when it comes to which strings you decide to play. I chose these patterns for the A and G chords because I like the sound. For instance, some people might like to play the open G string as the second "thumb" string instead of the open D, as shown in the previous example. And if you play your G with the D note (third fret of the B string) covered, then you're going to have yet another different sound.
Some people like to stick with the inner strings when playing root five chords, so on the A chord you'd be striking the open A string with the thumb, then (if using parallel motion) the G string with the index finger, then the D (thumb again) and then the B (middle finger). If you want a more ambiguous sound, eliminating the B string when playing the A chord means that you're just playing A and E notes, which make up the A5 or A "power chord." And you can also play a pattern for the A chord where you occasionally lift your finger off the B string (temporarily creating an Aadd9 chord), much as we did with the D chord in Example 4.
Telling you all this is not meant to overwhelm you with decisions. Rather, it's to give you reasons to explore what you can do with even the simplest of patterns such as this. While you're practicing these particular chords (and others we've mentioned), don't be afraid to experiment and to listen to all the possibilities that you can come up with. Try to get the sounds into your head and be sure to write down all the ideas you especially like.
As you can hear in this example, you don't really want to just hang on to the same pattern over and over. It feels a lot more organic and real when you sometimes "slip up" or change from one pattern to another. And don't forget about using the ideas in Example 4 when sitting on the D chord for more than one measure.
I hope this brief introduction to Travis picking has been enjoyable for you. Even more important, I hope that you've found that finger picking isn't truly all that hard. We're going to do a number of articles in the near future that will build on what you've learned here, so if you're enjoying working on this, please take the time to get your confidence in your picking abilities built up. It's not all that far a step to go from this lesson to some of our Intermediate lessons, such as Scarborough Fair, Fields of Gold, or Time After Time.
Thank you Thank you for such a wonderfully instructive site. I have been trying to play for a few years now, thought I was beat but you have given me new hope. Thanks again!
David is a brilliant teacher; his explanation is the clearest I have yet seen. Many thanks.
Very excited to have stumbled across this site. If I can't improve with the aid of these great lessons (after 45 years of false starts) , then there's no hope! Thanks, David.
I just wish to tell you how much I enjoyed this article. It was the best I have found yet and the way you explained and illustrated was very easy to grasp and interpret. Before now I always had a tendency to NOT being able to sing along with my playing correctly. I have much hope now of being on the path to correcting that issue.
Do you ever do articles on strumming patterns for various time signatures ?? I am having the greatest difficulty when it comes to reels,jigs,and 9/8,12/8. IF you did I thought that I may be able to understand your explanation and examples. It would be most appreciated !!


Fresh from refurbishment the Town Crier is now open. We will therefore resume our weekly club nights from Tuesday May 1st.
We'd like your assistance in selecting our choice of logo. Please email Graham (the designer) or Phil with your favourite one or two designs before the AGM using the reference numbers above the design. Alternatively post a comment below. We'll then aim to finalise the choice at the AGM.
The Town Crier is being refurbished in April and will be closed for all Tuesdays. Scheduled league matches will be held at Hoole Community Centre on April 3rd, 10th and 24th.
The club expects to resume Town Crier club nights on May 1st.
Visiting my sister in Ballarat near Melbourne I (Phil C) had the chance to play in the local Begonia Open. The organisers arrange for several Australian GMs/ IMs to play and then throw all the players into one open tournament with big grading prizes. Nigel Short won it a couple of years ago when they had a 50th anniversary.
This year GM Anton Smirnov and IM James Morris won with 6/7. Helped by a favourable draw I managed to join the trailing group on 5.5/7.
If you happen to be in Australia then it's a fun if tiring 3-day tournament to play.
As part of the development process for the new club website it was agreed at committee that a logo for the club be developed. Graham has promptly produced a number of hand crafted designs which can be seen below. A vote on which of these logos we will use as a basis for producing a digital logo going forward will be held at this year's AGM.

Legislative branch

The National Assembly of Belize is a bicameral body which consists of a House of Representatives and a Senate. The 31 members of the House of Representatives are popularly elected to a maximum five-year term of office.

The Senate currently consists of 12 Senators plus the President of the Senate. The Senators are appointed by the Governor General as follows: six on the advice of the Prime Minister, three on the advice of the Leader of the Opposition, one member on the advice of the Belize Council of Churches and the Evangelical Association of Churches, one on the advice of the Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Belize Business Bureau and one on the advice of the National Trade Union Congress of Belize and the Civil Society Steering Committee. The President of the Senate is then selected by the 12 Senators, either from amongst themselves or from the general populace.

The President presides over the sessions of the Senate but ordinarily has no voice nor vote in the proceedings (as would an appointed Senator), except in to cast a deciding vote. Where the President is selected from amongst the twelve, the powers of Senator and President of the Senate are vested in this one person. Otherwise, the President has no powers as would ordinarily be vested in a Senator. Over the past few years, there has been much debate over whether the members of the Senate should be appointed or elected. This discussion continues as Belizeans continue to weigh the pros and cons of an elected versus appointed senate.

As of 8 February 2008, the Government of Belize is controlled by the United Democratic Party (Belize) (UDP) which has a confirmed majority in the House of Representatives after general elections of 7 February 2008. The former government, the People's United Party (PUP) is now in Opposition, after having governed Belize from 28 August 1998 to 8 February 2008. The UDP previously governed Belize from 30 June 1993 to 27 August 1998; the PUP had governed from 4 September 1989- 30 June 1993; and the UDP from 14 December 1984-September 4, 1989. Before 1984, the PUP had dominated the electoral scene for more than 30 years and was the party in power when Belize became independent on 21 September 1981.

Political parties and elections

Judicial branch
Members of the independent judiciary are appointed. The judicial system includes local magistrates grouped under the Magistrates' Court which hears less serious cases, the Supreme Court (Chief Justice) which hears murder and similarly serious cases, and the Court of Appeal, which hears appeals from convicted individuals seeking to have their sentences overturned.  In 2001, Belize joined with most members of CARICOM to campaign for the establishment of the Caribbean Court of Justice, which replaced appeals to the Privy Council in London.

Belize is divided into six districts: Corozal District, Orange Walk District, Belize District, Cayo District, Stann Creek District, and Toledo District. Court cases are also heard in the capital city of Belmopan. The Supreme Court holds hearings from January to December of each year, starting in Belize City and then going to the districts; Magistrates' Court hears cases on most weekdays.

Michelle Arana has served as the acting Chief Justice of the Supreme Court since the retirement of Kenneth Benjamin on 20 March 2020.

A special Family Court has been set up to hear cases regarding child maintenance, domestic violence and spousal abuse, and other similar cases. This court is located in downtown Belize City. A Quick Trial Court processes selected cases especially speedily.

Local government

Belize has a system of local government comprising four types of local authorities: city councils, town councils, village councils and community councils. The two city councils (Belize City and Belmopan) and seven town councils cover the urban population of the country, while village and community councils cover the rural population.

City and town councils consist of a mayor and a number of councilors (ten in Belize City, six in Belmopan and the towns). Mayors and councilors are directly elected to three-year terms, using the first past the post system. The most recent municipal elections were held in March 2006. The mayor (except in Belize City) acts as the chief executive of the city or town, and allocates portfolios to the other councilors.

Village councils consist of a chairperson and six councill-ors, who are directly elected by registered villagers. Village councils in their current form were established by the Village Councils Act 1999, and the first elections for village councils were held in March and April 2003.

According to the Government of Belize website, "urban authorities are responsible for street maintenance and lighting, drains, refuse collection and public cemeteries. They also have discretionary powers over other services including infrastructure, parks and playgrounds, markets and slaughter-houses, public libraries, public buildings and the amenities of the city or town center." Village and community councils have a more limited range of functions: they "encourage and assist co-operation on economic and social development and general welfare", and can run community centers.

Some rural villages in Belize also have an alcalde: a local magistrate who has both an administrative and a judicial role. In addition to presiding over local courts, alcaldes are responsible for managing communal land and act as school officers. This form of local governance is practiced mainly in Mayan communities in Belize, but any rural community can choose to appoint an alcalde.

Defence
The Belize Defence Force (BDF), established in January 1973, consists of a light infantry force of regulars and reservists along with small air and maritime wings. The BDF, currently under the command of Brigadier General David Jones, assumed total defence responsibility from British Forces Belize (BFB) on 1 January 1994. The United Kingdom continues to maintain the British Army Training and Support Unit Belize (BATSUB) to assist in the administration of the Belize Jungle School. The BDF receives military assistance from the United States and the United Kingdom.

Internal security is the domain of the Belize Police Department, currently staffed by about 1,200 police officers established in all six districts. The commissioner of police is Crispin Jeffries (since April 2009)

Drugs in Belize are controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
However, other types of crime are becoming more commonplace, and the murder rate has increased, due to unsolved gang-related issues and the presence of drugs on the streets. Due to this high crime rate, the government runs the Restore Belize platform for the betterment of the country.

In 2012 the BDF had developed a new unit they call their intelligence cell. "the Intelligence Cell is the unit that does the gathering of intelligence with respect to both our borders, national security and internal security." They travel around the country and to remote areas via motorbikes that were donated to the BDF.

Foreign relations

Over the decades, Belize's foreign policy has been a left-leaning one. It allies with nations like Cuba, Venezuela and recognises states such as Palestine, Taiwan and the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic based on the principles of non-interference, anti-imperialism and self-determination. It also maintains cordial relations with the United States and other western nations which traditionally are its most important trade partners. In a regional context, Belize is a member of the Central American Integration System and the Caribbean Community, the latter of which it is more aligned with due to historical and cultural ties. Belize maintains very close relations with Mexico as well.

Romney has demonstrated an ability to absorb and process information we've seen in no Republican candidate for president since Dwight Eisenhower. And the finest accomplishment of his governorship, Romneycare, is the work of a man who takes seriously the obligations that society owes to each and every one of its members, the 47% as well as the 53%. Romney has the capacity to excel at the job of president.
The question over his head is not a question about him at all. It's a question about his party – and that question is the same whether Romney wins or loses. The congressional Republicans have shown themselves a destructive and irrational force in American politics. But we won't reform the congressional GOP by re-electing President Obama. If anything, an Obama re-election will not only aggravate the extremism of the congressional GOP, but also empower them: an Obama re-election raises the odds in favor of big sixth-year sweep for the congressional GOP – and very possibly a seventh-year impeachment. A Romney election will at least discourage the congressional GOP from deliberately pushing the US into recession in 2013. Added bonus: a Romney presidency likely means that the congressional GOP will lose seats in 2014, as they deserve.
Ezra Klein, meanwhile, half agrees. He says that Romney isn't either a moderate or a conservative – he's a manager, who has shown great talent for improving the performance of organizations under his administration. And he'll take cues from others as to what an organization's mission is. So, in Massachusetts, he did a better job than many would of implementing universal healthcare in that state, which was a Democratic priority. But in Washington?
Some argue that the president holds the ultimate power to "agenda set," even if much of that power is derived from Congress's willingness to let him set its agenda. There's truth to that, but it obscures the very substantive negotiations between White House and Congress. When Obama chose to push health-care reform in 2009, for instance, he did so in large part because key members of Congress also wanted to push it. If they had wanted to push cap-and-trade legislation instead, that's probably the agenda the president would have set. Presidents trying to govern set an agenda Congress is willing to pass.
The answer, then, to the question "What does Mitt Romney think?" is this: It matters even less what Romney thinks than it matters for most presidents. Romney's policy preferences are unusually weak, his deal-making instincts are unusually strong and his party will be unusually aggressive in policing his agenda. George W. Bush used his personal prestige to convince Republicans to vote for Medicare Part D, a debt-financed expansion of the welfare state that conservatives would typically have found noxious. Obama convinced his party to support the individual mandate, a Republican idea that he had vigorously opposed in the Democratic primary.
As the head honcho at Bain Capital, a private equity firm, Governor Romney made huge profits by borrowing heavily to acquire companies and then operate them with the goal of getting an operating return on capital or selling the companies for a profit. He turned the art of using leverage into an art form. I should add here that I fully understand that Bain was not and is not a slash and burn private equity firm. They put people in their acquired companies to try to improve operations rather than just slash costs. But that is not really the issue here. Governor Romney knows how to invest using debt.
The real issue is that rather than saying that he thinks it's a horrible idea for the government to invest in companies and that he would not permit it, I really, really would love to see him take the opposite approach and own and crow about the fact that he is a MASTER of USING DEBT.
Let's get back to our debate with a Democratic candidate Romney and a hypothetical Republican candidate.
I have been harping on two themes in this space for some time. First, that Mitt Romney isn't really the problem here; the problem is his party. Second, that we've been having the wrong economic argument – arguing about whether taxes and spending should be higher or lower when we need to be arguing about how to deploy our national resources better. All of these writers are saying, in different ways, that Mitt Romney might be a good guy to tackle the right economic argument, if it weren't for the fact that his party is committed to not doing so. And I think they're right about that.
Mitt Romney would be a mediocre candidate for any party because he's not a very natural politician. But he's not a pathological liar (like Clinton) – he's just an unusually bad one. And he has some very substantial personal virtues – as attested to by his long experience managing diverse organizations. If we want someone to oversee a large increase in Federal infrastructure spending, Romney seems like a great guy for the job, the kind of person who would bring in high-speed rail on time and under budget. And, as Steve Sailer said, if we want someone to oversee a sensible, gradual but substantial draw-down of American defense spending, Romney seems like a great guy for that job as well. He seems much better-suited to either job than President Obama is. And a lot of Americans seem to know that. And we actually need both of those jobs done!
But Mitt Romney can't do either of those jobs sensibly because he's a Republican, and the GOP is committed to, among other foolish policies, ramping up wasteful defense spending and slashing discretionary non-defense spending.
America needs two responsible governing parties, representing somewhat different coalitions of interests, who can check each other from growing too complacent or corrupt. Our political system is structured on the assumption that that's what we have. But we don't. And we won't get them by pretending we already do.
Tagged Mitt Romney, David Frum, Steve Sailer, extremism, Ezra Klein, Mark Cuban, GOP.
Exactly. When I absentee-ballot voted for Obama a couple of weeks ago, I wasn't so much voting against Romney, but against the rightwing/fundamentalist/delusional group that today's GOP has become. Romney himself seems like a perfectly solid President but he twisted himself to appeal to the base. For me, a deal breaker.
Thanks for this analysis. My principal problem with Frum's argument – and this has been my issue with his championing of Romney from the start – is that the support is premised on the assumption that Romney is "cynical": you know in your heart of hearts that he, Romney, cannot quite believe any of the lies he spouts and any of the economic policies he advocates, and for that reason, you can trust him to do the right thing.
Well. There are any number of things wrong about supporting a politician because he is a cynical liar, but I don't want to get all moralistic about that. The problem with that line of argument is that precisely what you have identified: not so much whether Romney lies, but why he does. He does so, he has done so, because of his party. He cannot just ignore the oiks because he wins – and if he does, it will be with a razor-thin "mandate".
And this does not take into account the foreign policy concerns you have been raising all along. Someone described Romney, after the disastrous Benghazi statement, as a "heedless foof". That's about right. For me, aside from every other consideration, this was Romney's McCain moment: he demonstrated a monumental lack of judgement, followed by one lie after another, that simply disqualified him from the Presidency. Even if he was being cynical about it all.
I came for the subject line — even with the clarification of the post, an excellent bit of punnery — and I'm posting for your core premise: Romney is an excellent manager, and would raise our expectations for a well-managed government.
I can buy that. The comparison with Ike is a good one, but not perhaps for the reason stated: Ike proved himself to be an excellent manager of a war effort during a time when international relations could not have been more important, but those relations where highly politicized. His administration reflected that competency, his leadership style and his communication skills very much in evidence.
Hoping not to strain this analogy too much: A war fought with a focus on the lives of people — soldiers and civilians in the battle zones, politicians and voters at home — is a war fought with character and ethics. That (for me) was Ike's greatest skill. Romney, however, was a manager in an environment where people's lives — workers, residential neighbors of the businesses, local and state regulations — take a distinctly back-seat position. Profit is the primary motive. It needn't ignore the rest, but can easily overshadow it or address it only by consequences rather than planning.
Hasn't the pitiful performance of Romney's campaign done something to take the shine off Romney's supposed uber-competence? How many times has his campaign changed gears and arguments? How many times has it been caught flatfooted by events or easily predictable problems? How many times has it been distracted by whatever shiny object happened by? How can a guy be considered a good economic manager when his own economic plan can't pass middle school math?
If you EVER want to see an example of racial and class bias, just look at Romney and try to imagine a black guy named Barack Obama being able to overcome so many of the same self-inflicted wounds on the campaign trail.
So are the Democrats a "responsible governing party"? David Frum is such a weasely waste of skin he wants Pelosi back! He's not any kind of conservative, he's just Obama's, well for a word in polite company his mouthpiece. We need a government that will cut spending but he doesn't like that.

Sailer's right about Mitt that he's not W or Johnny Mac.
Over in another TAC article, a commentor surmises the possibility of a "national manager"; essentially, a city manager whose scope is the administration of the Federal Government, instead of that of a municipality. Like a city manager, this hypothetical post, one surmises, would be an apolitical, administrative position with no policy-making role.
Leaving aside the question as to whether a non-political "manager" is appropriate for an agency as large as the US government (it's a form of government that doesn't seem to scale beyond a mid-sized city), would Mitt be good at the job?
Perhaps–though given that his specialty in his business career was finance, as opposed to operations or R&D or logistics, I'm not sure how much of his skills would translate. Romney excelled at squeezing blood from stones; often to the detriment of other stakeholders, under the theory that only shareholders have any claim to a company's wealth–this skill has no analog in a non-dsyfunctional government. Whether Romney could make the proverbial trains run on time remains to be seen; this wasn't his gig in private industry.
That said–Romney isn't running for "national manager", he's running for President of the United States; a role which requires skill in politics, diplomacy, and yes, some of the military arts. His tenure as Massachusetts governor was lackluster; he's exhibited little diplomatic ability, and seems to have a minimal grasp of foreign policy. Some of the same claims could have been made about Obama four years ago (especially if one replaces political skills, which Obama has, with executive experience, which he lacked); but Obama has proven himself competent in the job.
Reading all this one gathers the conclusion that if Romney wins tonight we all better pray for a Democratic Senate otherwise Romney isn't a manager, he's a puppet of party's faction, the way Grover Norquist envisions.
I read the Klein piece too and I agree with much of it and maybe what he and yourself Noah would be true if…he had selected Rob Portman as his VP and not Paul Ryan. To think Romney will operate in the manner you describe you have to believe he can successfully isolate the Republicans in the House (who may well gain seats tonight) but also isolate his own Vice President, a true believer whose back-channels to the House Republicans would easily undermine anything Romney tried to accomplish with Harry Reid.
Now perhaps if Romney were an Eisenhower, a towering figure of such stature or even a Nixon, a cunning and ruthless practitioner of power, this might work. But nobody thinks Mitt is an Eisenhower or a Nixon. These persons not only had stature, they had a vision for where they wanted the country to go. The only vision Mitt has is how comfy the chair behind the desk in Oval Office is. That's as far as it goes. I manage therefore I am. No, Mitt is no Eisenhower or Nixon, he's another Bush I or Jimmy Carter in waiting.
One other to remember too about Mitt's Massachusetts days: Romney did not have to worry too much about his own party because the Bay State's GOP is a miniscule grouping in the state legislature. He could make his deals with the Democrats and play their factions off against one another. So happened after he left office in 2007? The Democrats retook control of Beacon Hill, which they had not had since 1990, because Romney had left the state party in wretched shape. He did nothing to build it because he was too busy cutting deals with the Democrats to "get things done." That's not going to happen if Mitt becomes President. Again how he deals with his own party will be just as important as anything in his Presidency but I'm not as confidence as some that he will be successful. Bush II used 9-11 to basically control the party in Congress. What does Mitt have to make Congressional Republicans feel deferential to him. All they're going to do is pass bills and say "Sign this." What is he going to say? No?


ATRI/WAZIRGANJ (Gaya): In Bihar's high-stake political battle, Musahars – an influential group of dalits within the 16% Mahadalit voters in the state – continue to survive in terrible living conditions, without even enough food and clothes.
A drive through Banganga-Atri road off National Highway 82 (Nawada-Gaya), reveals that Musahars, an extremely poor community of mostly landless agricultural labourers, are largely deprived of the benefits of all social engineering their political masters have been planning for decades to get their votes.
The politicians are back fighting for Musahar votes. Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Union home minister Rajnath Singh, chief minister Nitish Kumar, former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi have held rallies in the two assembly segments and promised change once again. Before elections, almost nothing happened at the ground level to improve the plight of the Musahars which is aggravated by abject poverty, lack of foods, clean drinking water, pucca houses, irrigation facility, skills and jobs. The condition of Musahars in the two constituencies, which have a sizeable population of Musahars, is the real story of the Mahadalits beyond the political drama being played by politicians of all hues.
In 2014 when he was chief minister, Jitan Ram Manjhi visited Dashrath Manjhi's village, a predominantly Musahar village, and was flooded with request from people for getting them pucca houses. "The huts look better," Dashrath quoted Manjhi as replying to locals.
The Wazirgaj-Fatehpur road is dotted with Musahar settlements. It is tough to find villagers who have got Indira Awas among all the settlements. Some houses are also made of tarpaulins. "My father works as a loader in the bazaar," said Subodh Manjhi, 13, a school drop-out who works at a tea stall at Mamarchak in Wazirganj assembly constituency.
The state government's Mahadalit Mission has also done little to improve their life. Gaya district welfare officer of the Mahadalit Mission Sanjay Kumar said the mission is working at the ground level. But in the Musahar settlements no one knows what Mahadalit Mission is all about.

German traffic patrol is about to get a touch more refined and luxurious. According to CarScoops and a press release by Daimler, Mercedes is set to unveil their new line of European police cars at the General Police Equipment Exhibition and Conference in Frankfurt later this month.
One of the new additions to the fleet is the Mercedes GLC 350 eMatic, the plug-in hybrid version of the GLC. That's all well and good. I'm sure fuel-efficient police cars save a lot of money. But I think the new X-Class is the real star addition. It's the most recent attempt by Mercedes to make a real pickup truck and they are sure as hell going to use it. I don't think it looks half bad in "POLIZEI" livery.
With to the GLC and X-Class, Mercedes is also going to unveil the new police versions of their Vito van and E-Class estate. Mercedes did not mention, however, if there would be an E63 AMG estate police car but we will just have to wait and see if anyone wants to order one.
So the next time you're in Germany, watch out, because you might get pulled over by a luxury station wagon.


I thought I'd share a video I made about 12 months ago.
It was gonna be part of a bigger course but due to my laziness… I never got round to making it!
So yeah… My laziness is your gain!
So what's this video about I hear you cry!
Well this video is all about writing killer headlines that are solely designed to grab your visitor's attention and to make them curious enough to read on!
As usual, it's all super ninja stuff and this is great if you're new to copywriting and you need an hand writing a headline for your next sales letter or optin page.
Anyway, I hope you dig it. And if you do, feel free to share it and to leave a comment… Love to hear your thoughts on it.
Hi Jacob… Nice to meet you, buddy.
Regarding your question: have you checked out my free course yet?
If not, then I recommend you do 'cause its free to get access to and it's free to implement too.
Great video James! Definitely some great tips. Always split test!
Thanks, Jonas… Glad you enjoyed the video.
And yes, always split-test… Absolutely must.


Winner of the Best Director award at Sundance in 2012, Ava DuVernay is a veritable trailblazer in the independent film world. In addition to writing, directing and producing her own films, DuVernay launched a groundbreaking film distribution venture, the African American Film Festival Releasing Movement (AFFRM), in 2011. Through a strategic alliance with a network of African American and African diasporic film festivals, AFFRM achieves wider theatrical distribution for the independent films on its carefully-curated roster than through dominant distribution channels. By challenging the terms of participation for black filmmakers in American cinema, AFFRM is, as DuVernay has noted, not so much a business as a call to action.

Q: Why does every class in .NET inherit from Object? I don't understand it...
Why do they need a common base?

A: Because its in the spec:

8.9.9 Object type inheritance
  With the
  sole exception of System.Object, which
  does not inherit from any other object
  type, all object types shall either
  explicitly or implicitly declare
  support for (i.e., inherit from)
  exactly one other object type. The
  graph of the inherits-relation shall
  form a singly rooted tree with
  System.Object at the base; i.e., all
  object types eventually inherit from
  the type System.Object.

There are several benefits to this design approach.

A: The question presupposes a falsehood. They don't need a common base type. This choice was not made out of necessity. It was made out of a desire to provide the best value for the customer.
When designing a type system, or anything else for that matter, sometimes you reach decision points -- you have to decide either X or not-X.  Common base type or no common base type. When that happens you weigh up the costs and the benefits of X to determine the net value, and then you weigh up the costs and the benefits of not-X to determine the net value, and you go with the one that was higher value. The benefits of having a common base type outweigh the costs, and the net benefit thereby accrued is larger than the net benefit of having no common base type.  So we choose to have a common base type.
That's a pretty vague answer. If you want a more specific answer, try asking a more specific question.

A: Some reasons why many / most are:
To provide common members such as Equals, Finalize, GetHashCode, ToString....
To help with boxing....

A: I think, mainly in order to have a type to refer to any object. An argument of type object could be a primitive type, a struct, a reference type, just anything. It is important to have such a type.
Then there are some common members that are implemented by every type, like Equals, ToString, GetHashCode. This could indeed be a common interface as well, but then you wouldn't inherit a default implementation.

A: Java and C# took a different approach to this.  It's mainly to do with performance.
If you imagine that every object can be nullable, then it has to be a pointer to a value, which can be changed to a pointer to null.  Now this means that for every object you need at least a pointer and a chunk of memory to store the value.
Java has the concept of a primitive value, which is NOT an object.  It doesn't have a pointer and it isn't nullable.  This breaks the OOP paradigm but performance wise makes sense.
C# (or more correctly the CLR + BCL) attempted a good compromise, the ReferenceType and ValueType derivations.  Anything that derives from ValueType are treated like primitives to the CLR, avoiding having an object reference.  However this value can still be treated like an object via boxing, allowing you to have the performance benefits of primitive types but allowing everything to be treated like an object.
The real key difference between these things is the semantics of passing parameters to methods.  If everything is an object, then you are passing references to the object, i.e the object can be changed by passing it to a method.  Primitives and C# value types are passed by value, so they are effectively copied into the method call and the original value is unchanged.
It's the standard story of development.  Try and get it right first, then see if you can optimise it later once you see the bottlenecks.  Having pass by value semantics also allow you to prevent coding mistakes from mutability. (eg. passing a class vs a struct in C#)

A: ToString.  For example.

A: Useful for Boxing and Unboxing
see reference

A: Every object in .NET shares common properties and methods.  However, these are then divided into two categories: value types and reference types.  Value types (ie, int) are stored on the stack, Reference types (ie, your custom class) are stored on the heap.  Reference types store a reference to the actual data (thats on the heap).  Value types directly contain their data.
You can read more over at MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.object.aspx

A: As a side note to other "answers" a struct is a value type, that also inherits from object.
Maybe the answer is that its assumed that we are programming object-oriented style/paradigm?  A ball is an object.  A sword is an object.  An employee is an object.  A purchase order is an object.
Some companies design their .NET (or Java or Ruby or PHP) applications to inherit from a common base class, so that they can all be treated the same way in their system.  If I remember correctly from back in my old Java days... all EJBs share the same base class so that they can be managed and identified uniformly.

I love a statement necklace, me, but I'm poor and can't afford to buy any. Luckily, I have craft on my side! Here's one I made earlier!
Cutesy-pie nursery decorations ain't just for girls, chaps, and the perfect baby blue hanging mobile for your little bundle of joy is but a mouse click away.
Here's a great little crafting project for you all – a rather gorgeous table runner that wouldn't look out of place beneath the Queen's good china. Doilies to the rescue!


For weight loss, I recommend following my Bone Broth Diet for at least 21 days. This entails mini-fasting for 2 non-consecutive days a week. But, enjoying as much fat-blasting bone broth as you please during your fasts.
There are some foods that actually work against your weight goals. Mainly because they promote inflammation, which can significantly impact your waistline.
Pro-inflammatory foods are anything your body can't fully utilize, metabolize, digest, or eliminate…causing waste, debris, or harm to your gut and beyond.
Unfortunately, pro-inflammatory foods are found EVERYWHERE. At minimum, you should avoid sugar, gluten, seed oils, and soy.
There are SO many remarkable benefits to cutting out sugar. One of them is waking up energized in the morning from a night of restful, undisturbed sleep.
You also defy aging and get glowing skin, lose weight, and so much more.
Gets you addicted to eating MORE sugar!
Essentially, sugar gunks up your body and makes your cells old, sick, and sluggish.
It's worth noting that I'm talking about added sugars. And unfortunately, added sugars now show up in many foods like mustard, salad dressings, deli meats, dried fruit, nut butters, and so on.
Fructose — one form of sugar — has been linked to cancer, liver damage, increases in "bad" cholesterol, and even changes in skin collagen that can cause wrinkles. And while fructose in fruit is safe, it's extremely dangerous in the form of high fructose corn syrup.
As a rule of thumb, if it has an –ose, or –tol, it's a toxic sugar you should avoid.
Recently, researchers took sucralose (a popular artificial sweetener in diet soda) and tested them on stem cells in a Petri dish. After only 12 days, they found more genes showing fat creation and inflammation. Plus, they noticed more fat droplets in the cells themselves, which could contribute to metabolic dysfunction.
Artificial sugars can also mess with your brain and nervous system…and definitely won't make you drop any pounds. That's because as soon as you taste them, your body releases insulin BEFORE it realizes there isn't actually sugar there. This makes you crave more sugar, and makes you hungry. So, you may end up overeating, and gaining weight!
So what sugars can you have?
While on the my 21-Day Bone Broth Diet, you should avoid all added sugars on the days you're not fasting. However, once you complete the diet, a little sweetness in moderation is okay.
When it comes to grains, the first thing to know is that your body doesn't need them. You may feel like you need them — but that's partly because highly processed grains, much like sugar, are addictive.
The second thing to know is that all grains — even supposedly "healthy" whole grains — are packed with carbohydrates. These carbs age you by raising your blood sugar levels, forcing your body to produce more insulin and leading to insulin resistance, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. This process also makes you tired throughout the day.
Moreover, grains contain high levels of two anti-nutrients: phytic acid and lectins. Phytic acid binds to minerals, cutting down on the anti-aging nutrients you get from food. And lectins damage the lining of your intestines, causing a "leaky" gut and allowing toxins to leak into your bloodstream, which leads to pro-aging inflammation throughout your body.
Finally, there's gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and spelt. And it specifically causes a ton of inflammation in your body…giving you belly fat, unnecessary weight, and a sick gut.
A weakened gut not only contributes to further inflammation and weight gain, but it also leaves you at risk for mostly every modern disease out there.
In addition, gluten negatively impacts the beneficial microbes in your gut. And these microbes play a significant role in your metabolism, immune health, and just about every other system in your body.
The truth is, our bodies aren't adapted to eating gluten, especially in large quantities. So, your gut has no idea what to do with it.
And many people these days are gluten-sensitive or gluten-intolerant. For these people, eating gluten can trigger autoimmune disorders, digestive problems, arthritis-like joint pain, and a host of other ailments that make people look and feel old.
Which is why gluten-free diets are so popular. People are finally waking up to the truth–that gluten poisons your body.
But beware of all the "gluten-free" products out there. Just because it doesn't have gluten, doesn't mean it's healthy. Many gluten-free breads, crackers, cookies, and pastas simply swap refined wheat flour for other refined flours and starches. These starches will also pack on the pounds and zap the energy right out of you.
Luckily, there are fabulous gluten-free and even grain-free substitutes, like almond flour, coconut flour, cassava flour, and arrowroot for baking. Squashes, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and zucchini are also all ingredients you can use to create hearty, satisfying meals.
Consuming bad oils is like putting regular gas in a diesel car. And sadly, most processed foods contain poor quality oils (a.k.a. "vegetable" oils).
They're Heavily Processed: Because rapeseeds (canola), sunflower seeds, corn, and soybeans don't contain much oil, these ingredients must be exposed to extreme conditions to extract the small amount of oil they do contain.
They're Already Damaged: Heat, light, and air cause oils to oxidize. It's similar to an apple browning after being cut and left at room temperature. Thus, most vegetable oils are already damaged from the heavy processing I just mentioned. In addition, the clear plastic bottles they're often packaged in allows light to penetrate, which promotes even more oxidation.
They're Rancid: Oxidation causes oils to go rancid. And this process gives oils a foul odor and unpleasant taste. However, the oils are deodorized and bleached as part of their processing so you would never know.
They're Inflammatory: Consuming oxidized and rancid oils causes inflammation. However, as if that's not bad enough, "vegetable" oils also create inflammation because they contain high levels of inflammatory Omega 6 fatty acids as opposed to anti-inflammatory Omega 3 fatty acids.
Millions of years ago, diets were abundant in seafood and high in Omega-3 fatty acids. They were also low in omega-6 seed oils. In fact, our hunter-gatherer ancestors consumed omega-6 and omega-3 fats at an estimated ratio of 1:1. And this is the ideal ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3.
However, today's ratio ranges from 15:1 and 22:1. This means we're consuming 20 times too much of inflammatory oils!
Avocados: Full of monounsaturated fats, which are incredibly healthy. Add some in your salad, mash it up and use as a dip for veggies, or just eat it with a spoon.
Butter and ghee: Butter from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows is great. And and organic, grass-fed ghee (also known as clarified butter with milk solids removed) is a fantastic cooking oil. It stays stable at high heat. It's great for those sensitive to milk proteins. And it also tastes great.
Coconut fats: Incorporate coconut through coconut butter, flakes, coconut milk, and fresh coconut. You can add a little bit of coconut fat to your coffee for an extra boost.
Nuts and nut butters: Nuts can get tricky, and I've talked about this on the Dr. Oz show before. I recommend almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, chestnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts (BEST Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio of all), pecans, pistachios, and walnuts. This gives you plenty to choose from. But just remember to keep them in moderation. And note that peanuts and peanut butter are off the table. They're actually a legume and are very inflammatory.
Oils: Try avocado oil, coconut oil, macadamia nut oil, walnut oil, and olive oil.
Seeds: You can sprinkle your salad with pine nuts, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds. They taste great and give salads a wonderful texture.
Animal fats: Don't throw away that extra fat! Animal fats can be health promoting when they come from a healthy animal–organic, grass-fed, and pasture raised. Some examples are tallow (beef fat), lamb fat, duck fat, and schmaltz (chicken fat). These animal fats make anything you use it for taste rich and decadent. Try sauteéing some veggies and smell and taste the difference.
It's also worth mentioning that eating healthy fats won't make you fat. You can blame carbohydrates from refined grains and sugars for that.
And if you're worried about heart disease, worry more about vegetable oils than the list of healthy fats I recommend. Research shows us that inflammation is like charred glass on our vessels causing heart attacks–not healthy fats.
If you believe that soy is a super healthy food, you've been misled.
And unfortunately, soy is found in almost every processed food in our modern world. Pick up just about any box or package at the grocery store. You'll see soybean oil, soy flour, soy isolate, or soy lecithin as one of the ingredients.
The "beef" tacos at Jack in the Box even contain a ton of soy. Talk about mystery meat!
Soy phytoestrogens disrupt hormone function…causing infertility and breast cancer in women.
Just one cup of soy milk a day could lower a man's sperm count by 50%.
Babies fed soy-based formula have 13,000 to 20,000 more estrogen compounds in their blood than babies with milk-based formula. Infants taking soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent of at least five birth control pills per day!
Soy contains phytic acid, which reduces the absorption of calcium, magnesium, and zinc–all minerals your body needs to stay healthy.
Processed soy (like the soy you get in soy burgers, hot dogs, etc.) results in the formation of lysinoalanine and carcinogenic nitrosamines–both toxic substances your body does not need.
Eating soy increases your body's need for B12 and Vitamin D (which too many of us are low in as it is).
MSG, a neurotoxin, is formed during soy processing.
Women consuming the equivalent of 2 cups of soymilk a day receive the estrogen equivalent of one birth control pill.
Asians don't consume as much soy as you think. Average soy consumption in China is 10 grams (2 teaspoons) and about 30 to 60 grams in Japan. Soy is used as a condiment, not as a meal or replacement of meat like we do in the U.S.
The soy we eat is HIGHLY processed. Whereas, soy products in Asian countries are fermented and unrefined. The fermentation process increases the nutritional value of soy and neutralizes the pro-inflammatory properties in soybeans.
If you absolutely must have soy, it's important to keep it as natural and unprocessed as possible. It's also important to stick to fermented soy foods, such as tempeh and unprocessed tofu. And make sure it's organic and non-GMO.
Otherwise, get soy out of your life for good. Opt for (unsweetened) almond milk and grass-fed beef burgers. It's better for you, and tastes a WHOLE lot better!

The Two Dot Bench from Nomess Copenhagen is a simple and elegant design given a modern feel with the metal dots. It's slim profile makes it ideal for small spaces, for example, in hallways or at the side of a sofa.
Solid ash with white metal detail.


First off: be warned. Making these fabric pop-ups is addicting. They're cute, they're functional, and they pop-up! This can not be overstated. Something about collapsing them and popping them up again is very satisfying.
These are great to have in the craft room or any room for an instant place to put tools, scraps, yarn – all kinds of things. Once you no longer need it just collapse it and stash it anywhere. The finished popped-up size is about 5.5″ x 6″ tall.
This Pop-Up Kit from Fat Quarter Gypsy contains a heavy duty metal spring, an elastic binding band and pattern for making a collapsible canister from one fat quarter of fabric.
The pattern contains everything but a fat quarter and 3/8 yard of light to midweight fusible interfacing. You'll also need 4 large safety pins. I found Dritz Curved Safety Pins easier to use than regular safety pins in this application. Clover's Wonder Clips and a Frixion pen are super helpful, too, but not required.
After you've made the first pop up and need to make a few more, you can buy the pop up as a refill without the pattern.
The directions are easy to follow and have important tips written in red. Pay attention to these as they are very helpful!
I decided to get fancy with the 4th pop up. (I told you they were addicting.) Digging through my stash, I found 2 great cat themed fat quarters. After constructing the pop-up, I roughly fussy cut a cat from the 2nd fat quarter and fused it on with HeatnBond Ultra.
I then trimmed around the cat and peeled off the paper backing. I found a spot for it between the ribs of the pop-up. I rolled up a bath towel (you could use anything that is heat proof) stuck it inside the pop-up and ironed it in place. A Clover Iron is perfect for this tight little spot. I think it turned out pretty cute!
(addition 3/2018 – Fat Quarter Gypsy now makes Mini Pop-Ups! Find all the patterns at Craft Warehouse).

Like most guys, you probably want smooth, unblemished skin. As the years pass, good skin becomes harder and harder to retain. Fortunately, there's help available.
Check out the following eight tips for maintaining vibrant, young skin despite the passage of time.
Every inch of your body is affected by what you put in it. Your skin requires plenty of nutrients, which are primarily obtained from food.
So eat a good diet with plenty of lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and fruit, but relatively few fatty or processed foods.
Skin needs hydration for elasticity and strength. Individual skin cells require lots of water to filter out damaging substances and process critical nutrients through cell walls.
Toxins and metabolic waste will stay in your skin if you don't consume enough water, so drink on up.
The surface of your skin needs moisture too. Dry skin should be treated with a good moisturizer on a daily basis.
If you have issues with acne and breakouts, choose a moisturizer that isn't too oily. Keep things simple, since using too many products can do more harm than good.
A great product to consider is the Tiege Hanley Skin Care system. It has everything in one kit. And the best part? It works! See Amazon for pricing.
Treating your skin harshly is harmful. It might seem like a good idea to scrub your skin vigorously, but strong soaps remove beneficial layers of oil.
Similarly, bathing in warm, rather than very hot water will keep your skin in better condition. When shaving, go with the grain of the skin and use a clean razor and shaving cream or gel.
If you have acne, don't mess with it — pimple popping can result in swelling, infection, and even scars.
Your face is especially sensitive to dirt and oils, which clog up pores and cause breakouts. Unfortunately, most people's hands aren't very clean, so refrain from touching your face as much as you can.
Keep your hair out of your face as well.
Smoking is as bad for skin as it is for the rest of the body. Your skin will be lined and older-looking if you smoke regularly.
Part of the problem is that smoking narrows the blood vessels that carry vital nutrients and oxygen to the skin.
Plus, smoking damages collagen and elastin, two structural proteins that preserve the skin's strength and elasticity by helping hold together connective tissue.
The sun might allow life to exist, but it is still bad for your skin. Sunlight damages skin, causing it to age and wrinkle quicker. Worse, the likelihood of skin cancer is increased by ultraviolet sunrays.
You might think you look better with a tan, but you'll regret it later.
Wear sunscreen every time you are in the sun for an extended time, and apply another layer every few hours. Sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more is best.
Hats and other protective clothing aren't a bad idea, either. If you have time, check out this post on how older men fight back against the signs of aging.
A strong, healthy body results in better skin, too. Getting enough sleep helps your body produce collagen, while exercise aids circulation. Improved circulation means additional nutrients and oxygen for your skin.
Meanwhile, the less stress, the better your skin. Tension and anxiety can trigger breakouts and acne, or worsen skin conditions like eczema.
There's nothing inevitable about the advent of bad skin, so don't simply accept that your skin will look worse with time.
If you follow the eight tips shared above with dedication, your skin will stay stronger, younger, and smoother than you would have ever thought possible.

Mini Medical School Inspires Future Grenadian Doctors
April 26, 2019 /in Campus News and Notes, Events, Front Page News, School of Medicine /by bpmauser
As part of its mission of diversifying the face of medicine, St. George's University chapter of the Student National Medical Association (SNMA) hosted a mini medical school for students from Westmorland Secondary School (WSS) in hopes of sparking their interest in becoming Grenada's future physicians.
SNMA members set up interactive medical stations that allowed the 22 high schoolers to receive hands-on lessons such as listening to a person's heartbeat and lungs, identifying signs of anemia, and learning to take a patient's pulse rate. WSS students also enjoyed the physical education station, where they participated in a relay race promoting physical fitness.
"Our students always enjoy learning outside of a classroom setting," said Mr. Frankie Noel, chemistry teacher and lab technician at WSS. "Sharing in the mini med school experience and hearing directly from SGU medical students what it's like becoming a doctor has definitely convinced many of our students to strive to become physicians at St. George's."
Along with a presentation on sickle cell disease and diabetes, two common conditions affecting many Grenadians, the visiting students learned about the different components of the blood, how to perform CPR, and how to conduct mini objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE). At the end of the day, the young visitors took part in a mini-graduation ceremony and were treated to taking photos while dressed in the white coats of the SNMA members.
"One of the primary purposes of SNMA is to serve the health needs of underserved communities and communities of color," stated fifth-term medical student Michelle Adibe, who serves as president of SNMA. "Through our outreach and education programs like the mini med school program, we give students of our host country a chance to feel what it's like to be a doctor for a day. We hope that by exposing them to medicine as an occupation we can show them that it is possible and that we're rooting for them."
SNMA chapters based at allopathic and osteopathic medical schools in the US are committed to supporting current and future underrepresented minority medical students, addressing the needs of underserved communities, and increasing the number of clinically excellent, culturally competent, and socially conscious physicians. In addition, SNMA serves as a credible and accurate source of information relevant to minority issues in the field of medical education.

Fujitsu Computer Systems is set to unveil upgrades to the company's Primergy tower and rack-mounted servers that will use the 64-bit capable version of the Xeon processor, code-named Nocona.
The company is set to announce two new tower servers, called the Primergy TX200 S2 and TX300 S2, as well as two rack-mounted servers that include the 64-bit processor, the Primergy RX200 S2 and the RX300 S2.
In addition to the new processors, the S2 systems will also include a redesigned cooling system that features bigger fans and air tunnels designed to double the amount of heat the systems can dissipate, said John Rodriguez, product manager for Primergy. Because of a Nocona feature called thermal throttling, which slows down processor performance under high temperatures, the cooling system will also improve the S2 systems' performance, he said.
The TX200 S2 will support as much as 12GB of DDR1 (Double Data Rate) memory and will come with Xeon processors running at between 2.8GHz and 3.4GHz. The clock speed of the TX300 S2's chips will range between 3.2GHz and 3.6GHz, and it will support as much as 16GB of DDR2 memory. Pricing for the systems will start at US$2,219, Rodriguez said.
The new servers will begin shipping worldwide within the month, Rodriguez said.


Why should we care about home accessibility? For me, it gets personal. When my family heard about the accident that happened to one of our own, we didn't know what was ahead. A spinal cord injury leaves everyone hoping that she would walk again, but the doubt grows. As the days went by, everyone just hoped she got better and came home. After things stabilized, it was every day at the hospital, and everyday something good and something bad happened. But slowly, but surely, she got everything back, and learned to live again. I was amazed to see that living with a wheelchair was more than possible, it was a good life. Then she went home.
It was tough all over for her, as every barrier, steps, doorway, bathroom, every room. It was like she was injured all over. Home Accessibility is part of the healing process, but it shouldn't be a the worst part. She learned quickly what was needed, and overcame the extra hardship.
When I learned what could be done to make sure homes are the hardship, there wasn't a single company that could do what was needed. Contractors wanted to help, but they didn't know how to remodel for accessibility. Handymen would do anything, but we had to design everything, and we had to learn what was needed. Medical Equipment stores wanted to provide a solution in a box, but it never fit right. As more and more people go home healthy after something like this, why wasn't there anyone with the experience and expertise to help.?
Eleven years later, Home Accessibility is still a learning experience, but we take it personal. After life changing event, going home means that life goes on, and we are proud to be part of that. Making homes accessible is why we are here, and helping our customers overcome their disability, injury, or the aging process is our mission.
I want to say thanks to my cousin, Cristina, for showing me the overcoming tough times are what family is for. We are proud of her courage and what she has accomplished. Now, we get to enjoy the world of home accessibility.
She has accomplished so much and shown everyone that life is what you make it. Here is a great picture of her surfing at Virgina Beach.
