The Government of Canada and the Epekwitk Mi'kmaq sign agreement toward establishing a new national park reserve in P.E.I.
From: Parks Canada
Memorandum of Understanding provides a framework for collaboration to move forward in establishing the national park reserve.
January 19, 2022 Lennox Island, Prince Edward sland Parks Canada
Today, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, along with Chief Darlene Bernard and Chief Junior Gould, co-chairs of the Epekwitk Assembly of Councils, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to formally work towards the establishment of a new national park reserve in the Pituamkek area (Hog Island Sandhills) in Prince Edward Island.
The sand dunes of Pituamkek (pronounced Bee-doo-um-gek) form one of the most ecologically significant coastal dune ecosystems in Eastern Canada. The Epekwitk Mi'kmaq have been stewards of these lands and waters since time immemorial, and the signing of this agreement affirms the Government of Canada's conservation goals in the cultural and historic significance of these islands.
This MOU agreement helps fulfill Government of Canada's commitment to true and lasting Reconciliation with indigenous peoples and a renewed government-to-government relationship with the Epekwitnewaq Mi'kmaq (the Mi'kmaq of Prince Edward Island).
The signing of the MOU follows a public engagement process that took place between June 4, 2021, and July 23, 2021, to seek input from individuals and organizations on the proposed national park reserve. A data analysis and summary of results of the public engagement process demonstrate strong public support for the creation of a national park reserve in the Pituamkek area ("What we Heard" report).
The MOU outlines next steps and provides a framework for collaboration as negotiations begin for an establishment agreement for the creation of the new national park reserve. Working together, the Government of Canada and the Epekwitnewaq Mi'kmaq are taking action to protect this iconic natural and cultural landscape for future generations.
A copy of the Memorandum of Understanding can be found on the Pituamkek website. https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/cnpn-cnnp/pituamkek
"Pituamkek has been a source of cultural and spiritual significance to the Mi'kmaq people of Prince Edward Island for thousands of years and represents one of the most ecologically significant coastal dune ecosystems in eastern Canada. This agreement is one more step on the road to Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and toward protecting lands and waters of great cultural importance in Prince Edward Island."
Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada
"Our connection to this land is ancient and sacred, as the Mi'kmaq have occupied Epekwitk (PEI) since time immemorial. Our people have always been stewards of the land, so to protect and preserve an important part of our environment and a vital part of our Mi'kmaq cultural heritage is something that we must do – in honour of past and future generations to come. We are eager to work collaboratively with Parks Canada to make this dream become reality."
Chief Junior Gould of Abegweit First Nation
Epekwitk Assembly of Councils Co-Chair
"Pituamkek is considered a Mi'kmaq Heritage Landscape, with a name that honours our long history and deep connection to the land through recognition of our beautiful language. The Epekwitk Assembly of Councils is very pleased to participate in today's announcement which signals significant progress in establishing Pituamkek as a national park reserve. It has been a long time in the making and we look forward to the next steps in the establishment of Pituamkek, which will benefit all Epekwitnewaq (Islanders) and Canadians – historically, culturally, and environmentally, now and in the future."
Chief Darlene Bernard of Lennox Island First Nation
"As the Minister of Environment, Energy and Climate Action, I congratulate Parks Canada and the Abegweit and Lennox Island First Nations on this historic agreement. Pituamkek has long been recognized as a place of high ecological, geological, archaeological, and cultural values. This agreement is the next step in ensuring these values are protected for current and future generations."
Steven Myers
Minister of Environment, Energy, and Climate Action, P.E.I.
"I'm thrilled to see this significant initiative moving forward, at a stone's throw from home. Pituamkek is both a natural and a cultural treasure. Today is a milestone in the work towards protecting such a nationally significant example of natural and cultural heritage and sharing the stories of this treasured place."
Bobby Morrissey,
Member of Parliament for Egmont
The creation of the Pituamkek National Park Reserve will be the first national park reserve to contribute to the government's commitment to create 10 new national parks by 2025.
In August 2019, the Government of Canada, the Government of Prince Edward Island, and the Mi'kmaq Governments of Lennox Island and Abegweit First Nations announced the launch of a feasibility assessment on the establishment of a national park reserve in Pituamkek (Hog Island Sandhills).
The area constitutes a vital living link between Mi'kmaq culture, its history and the environment. For this reason, the Mi'kmaq People of Prince Edward Island have a strong and enduring connection with the Pituamkek area and have recognized the area as a Mi'kmaq Heritage Landscape.
The public engagement phase of the feasibility assessment was held between June 4, 2021, and July 23, 2021. Since then, work has been underway to assess and report the findings of the public engagement phase of the feasibility assessment. The report demonstrated support for the proposed creation of a national park reserve in the Pituamkek area.
The MOU outlines next steps and provides a framework of collaboration as negotiations begin for an establishment agreement for the creation of a new national park reserve in Pituamkek.
In collaboration with Indigenous partners, stakeholders, and other levels of government, Canada is committed to protecting biodiversity and conserving 25 percent of land and inland waters and 25 percent of marine and coastal areas by 2025, working toward 30 percent by 2030.

C. WEST'S NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL STATUTES ANNOTATED CHAPTER 58. INSURANCE ARTICLE 71. BAIL BONDSMEN AND RUNNERS.
Section 9. This act becomes effective January 1, 2001, and applies to all bail bonds executed and all forfeiture proceedings initiated on and after that date.
The North Carolina statutes contain numerous detailed licensing provisions for bail agents and "runners" (defined below). Only the most relevant sections are listed below, with references to other relevant sections.
(8) "Professional bondsman" shall mean any person who is approved and licensed by the Commissioner and who pledges cash or approved securities with the Commissioner as security for bail bonds written in connection with a judicial proceeding and receives or is promised money or other things of value therefor.
(9) "Runner" shall mean a person employed by a bail bondsman for the purpose of assisting the bail bondsman in presenting the defendant in court when required, or to assist in apprehension and surrender of defendant to the court, or keeping defendant under necessary surveillance, or to execute bonds on behalf of the licensed bondsman when the power of attorney has been duly recorded. "Runner" does not include, however, a duly licensed attorney-at-law or a law-enforcement officer assisting a bondsman.
(a) No person shall act in the capacity of a bail bondsman or runner or perform any of the functions, duties, or powers prescribed for bail bondsmen or runners under the provisions of this Article unless that person shall be qualified and (except as regards an accommodation bondsman) licensed in accordance with the provisions of this Article. No license shall be issued to a professional bondsman or runner except to an individual natural person.
A license issued to a bail bondsman or to a runner authorizes the licensee to act in that capacity until the license is suspended or revoked. Upon the suspension or revocation of a license, the licensee shall return the license to the Commissioner. A license of a bail bondsman and a license of a runner shall be renewed on July 1 of each year upon payment of the applicable renewal fee under G.S. 58-71-75. The Commissioner is not required to print renewal licenses. After notifying the Commissioner in writing, a professional bondsman who employs a runner may cancel the runner's license and the runner's authority to act for the professional bondsman.
(a) An applicant for a license as a bail bondsman or runner shall furnish the Commissioner with a complete set of the applicant's fingerprints and a recent passport size full-face photograph of the applicant. The applicant's fingerprints shall be certified by an authorized law-enforcement officer. The fingerprints of every applicant shall be forwarded to the State Bureau of Investigation for a search of the applicant's criminal history record file, if any. If warranted, the State Bureau of Investigation shall forward a set of the fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a national criminal history record check. An applicant shall pay the cost of the State and any national criminal history record check of the applicant.
A nonrefundable license fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) shall be paid to the Commissioner with each application for license as a bail bondsman and a license fee of sixty dollars ($60.00) shall be paid to the Commissioner with each application for license as a runner.
G. § 58-71-65. Contents of application for runner's license; endorsement by professional bondsman.
(b) If the principal does not comply with the conditions of the bail bond, the court having jurisdiction must enter an order declaring the bail to be forfeited. If forfeiture is ordered by the court, a copy of the order of forfeiture and notice that judgment will be entered upon the order after 60 days must be served on each obligor. Service is to be made by the clerk mailing by first-class mail a copy of the order of forfeiture and notice to each obligor at each obligor's address as noted on the bond and note on the original the date of mailing. Service is complete three days after the mailing.
(a) The court shall give notice of the entry of forfeiture by mailing a copy of the forfeiture to the defendant and to each surety whose name appears on the bail bond.
(b) The notice shall be sent by first-class mail to the defendant and to each surety named on the bond at the surety's address of record.
(c) If a bail agent on behalf of an insurance company executed the bond, the court shall also provide a copy of the forfeiture to the bail agent, but failure to provide notice to the bail agent shall not affect the validity of any notice given to the insurance company.
(d) Notice given under this section is effective when the notice is mailed.
(e) Notice under this section shall be mailed not later than the thirtieth day after the date on which the forfeiture is entered. If notice under this section is not given within the prescribed time, the forfeiture shall not become a final judgment and shall not be enforced or reported to the Department of Insurance.
Section 15A-544.6. Final judgment of forfeiture.
(1) No order setting aside the provisional judgment pursuant to G.S. 15A-544.5 is entered on or before that date.
(2) No motion to set aside the provisional judgment is pending on that date.
(c) Except as provided in subsection (c1) of this section, at any time within 60 days following the date of service, or on the first presentment of the forfeiture calendar more than 60 days after the date of service, the principal or surety may move the court having jurisdiction of the matter, orally or in writing, to strike the order of forfeiture and recall the notice of forfeiture. If the principal or surety appears and moves within the time allowed following the date of service and satisfies the court that the principal's failure to appear on the date set was impossible or that the principal's failure to appear was without the principal's fault, the order of forfeiture must be set aside. If the principal or surety does not satisfy the court that the principal's appearance on the date set was impossible or that the principal's failure to appear was without the principal's fault, the court must then enter judgment for the State against the principal and surety for the amount of the bail and the cost of the proceeding.
(c1) If the principal does not appear before the court having jurisdiction because the principal is incarcerated in North Carolina and unable to appear before the court, but the surety appears within the time allowed following the date of service and satisfies the court that the principal's appearance on the date set was impossible because the principal was incarcerated in North Carolina, the order of forfeiture must be set aside.
B. WEST'S NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL STATUTES ANNOTATED CHAPTER 15A. CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ACT SUBCHAPTER V. CUSTODY ARTICLE 26. BAIL PART 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS § 15A-540. Surrender of a principal by a surety; setting new conditions of release.
Upon application by the surety after the surrender of the principal, before the forfeiture of bail under G.S. 15A-544(b), the clerk must exonerate him from his bond.
C. New Legislation – 1999 North Carolina Senate Bill No. 1267, North Carolina 1999 General Assembly – Second Session (FULL TEXT – STATE NET) VERSION: Introduced Version Date May 17, 2000.

(3) A hearing on the motion shall be scheduled within a reasonable time in the trial division in which the defendant was bonded to appear.

Appeal shall be as provided for appeals in civil actions. When notice of appeal is properly filed, the court may stay the effectiveness of the order on such conditions as it considers appropriate.
Section 58-71-25. Procedure for surrender; exoneration of obligors; refund of deposit.
The person desiring to make a surrender of the defendant shall procure a certified copy of the undertakings and deliver them together with the defendant to the official in whose custody the defendant was at the time bail was taken, or to the official into whose custody he would have been given had he been committed, who shall detain the defendant in his custody thereon, as upon a commitment, and by a certificate in writing acknowledge the surrender.
Upon the presentation of certified copy of the undertakings and the certificate of the official, the court before which the defendant has been held to answer, or the court in which the preliminary examination, warrant, indictment, information or appeal as the case may be, is pending, shall upon notice of three days given by the person making the surrender to the prosecuting officer of the court having jurisdiction of the offense, together with a copy of the undertakings and certificate, order that the obligors be exonerated from liability of their undertakings, and, if money or bonds have been deposited as bail, that such money or bonds be refunded.

(e) At any time within 90 days after entry of the judgment against a principal or surety, the principal or surety, by verified written petition, may request that the judgment be remitted in whole or in part, upon such conditions as the court may impose, if it appears that justice requires the remission of part or all of the judgment.

(3) The defendant has been surrendered by a surety on the bail bond as provided by G.S. 15A-540, as evidenced by the sheriff's receipt provided for in that section.
(5) The defendant died before or within the period between the forfeiture and the final judgment as demonstrated by the presentation of a death certificate.
(d) Motion Procedure. –If a forfeiture is not set aside under subsection (c) of this section, the only procedure for setting it aside is as follows: (see the statute in full for a detailed description of the Motion Procedure).
A. WEST'S NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL STATUTES ANNOTATED CHAPTER 15A. CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ACT SUBCHAPTER V. CUSTODY ARTICLE 26. BAIL PART 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS § 15A-540. Surrender of a principal by a surety; setting new conditions of release.
(a) A surety may surrender his principal to the sheriff of the county in which the principal is bonded to appear or to the sheriff where the defendant was bonded. A surety may arrest his principal for the purpose of returning him to the sheriff. Upon surrender of the principal the sheriff must provide a receipt to the surety, a copy of which must be filed with the clerk.
New Legislation – 1999 North Carolina Senate Bill No. 1267, North Carolina 1999 General Assembly – Second Session Introduced Version Date May 17, 2000. "Section 15A-540. Surrender of a principal, defendant, by a surety; setting new conditions of release.
(a) A surety may surrender his principal to the sheriff of the county in which the principal is bonded to appear or to the sheriff where the defendant was bonded. A surety may arrest his principal for the purpose of returning him to the sheriff. Upon surrender of the principal the sheriff must provide a receipt to the surety, a copy of which must be filed with the clerk. Upon application by the surety after the surrender of the principal, before the forfeiture of bail under G.S. 15A-544(b), the clerk must exonerate him from his bond.
(b) A principal surrendered by his surety is entitled to an immediate hearing on whether he is again entitled to release and, if so, upon what conditions.
(a) Going Off the Bond Before Breach.–Before there has been a breach of the conditions of a bail bond, the surety may surrender the defendant as provided in G.S. 58-71-20. Upon application by the surety after such surrender, the clerk must exonerate the surety from the bond.
The Commission discussed the professional bail bondsman. It finally decided that he still provides a service in a number of counties, and except for proposed § 15A-541 the proposal does not mention the professional bondsman. He is treated in law as any other person acting as a surety upon a bail bond, although certain restrictive provisions are obviously written with the bondsman in mind. The Commission also discussed the advisability of revising the provisions relating to licensing of professional bondsmen in Chapter 85A of the General Statutes, and making the chapter applicable to all counties. In the press of its work, however, the Commission never found time to develop this as part of its 1973 proposal.
(a) No sheriff, deputy sheriff, other law-enforcement officer, judicial official, attorney, parole officer, probation officer, jailer, assistant jailer, employee of the General Court of Justice, other public employee assigned to duties relating to the administration of criminal justice, or spouse of any such person may in any case become surety on a bail bond for any person other than a member of his immediate family. In addition no person covered by this section may act as agent for any bonding company or professional bondsman. No such person may have an interest, directly or indirectly, in the financial affairs of any firm or corporation whose principal business is acting as bondsman.
(1) The person seeking relief was not given notice as provided in G .S. 15A-544.4.
(c) Procedure. –The procedure for obtaining relief from a final judgment under this section is as follows: (See the statute in full for a detailed description of the procedure).
Arrestee sued bail bondsman, asserting breach of contract and tort claims in connection with bondsman surrendering arrestee and her husband to authorities. After permitting arrestee to amend her pleadings at close of all evidence to assert claim for punitive damages, the Superior Court, Rowan County, Thomas W. Seay, Jr., J., submitted case to jury only on breach of contract claim, and thereafter entered judgment on jury verdict awarding arrestee, inter alia, $150,000 in punitive damages. Bondsman appealed. The Court of Appeals affirmed, 133 N.C.App. 350, 515 S.E.2d 495. Bondsman appealed. The Supreme Court, Lake, J., held that: (1) bondsman preserved his claim that punitive damages issue could not be submitted to jury, and (2) punitive damages were not recoverable. Reversed and remanded.
Sureties brought action for full remission of bond after delivering principal to authorities. The Superior Court, Forsyth County, Thomas W. Ross, J., denied remission on ground that action was time-barred. Sureties appealed. The Court of Appeals, McGee, J., held that: (1) three-year statute of limitations governing actions against sureties did not apply, and (2) trial court had discretion to grant relief if sureties demonstrated "extraordinary cause." Reversed and remanded.
Defendants, licensed bail bondsmen, were convicted after jury trial in the Superior Court, Cabarrus County, James C. Davis, J., of breaking and entering, and one defendant also was convicted of assault on female and injury to real property. Defendants appealed. The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded, 126 N.C.App. 688, 486 S.E.2d 475. Certiorari was granted. The Supreme Court, Mitchell, C.J., held that defendants were entitled to jury instruction on common law powers of bail bondsmen to break into residence and use force against third party when searching for their principal. Court of Appeals' judgment affirmed.
Judgment of forfeiture against surety for appearance bond of criminal defendant was null and void under requirements of bail forfeiture statute where surety was not personally served order of forfeiture and was not mailed copy of order of forfeiture or notice, though sheriff had record of surety's address throughout proceedings.

Calming a Demon Heart
A Paranormal's Love: Book Six
Matthew Beakman's life just got turned upside down. His brother, Marty, stumbled across something strange and fascinating and amazing! Gargoyles exist! Matthew wants to know everything about them. First, though, he wants to find the gargoyle that saved his brother's life and thank him. Their people's leader, Maelgwn, points out a blood-red, behemoth of a gargoyle named Vane, then warns Matthew away from him. Never good at following orders--and because he can't help but find himself intrigued by the huge creature across the room--Matthew tracks Vane down anyway. At first he's confused by the way his body responds every time Vane growls at him, until a conversation with Logan makes him suspect that he and Vane are mates. Unfortunately, he also learns Vane went through some extreme torture in the hands of humans. How can he convince the stubborn gargoyle that not all humans are the same?
Excerpt - Calming a Demon Heart
Even with Maelgwn's warning ringing in his ear, Matthew couldn't get the idea of thanking the obviously reclusive gargoyle out of his mind. When Vane finally rose and left the room via a nearby door, he could no longer contain himself. Matthew turned to the gargoyle leader next to him and asked, "Where's your john?"
Maelgwn pointed his fork toward a door across the room, not too far from where Vane had sat. "Take a right out that door. On your immediate left is a set of double doors, which will lead into a rec room. Head in there, then the first door on the left is a bathroom."
"Awesome, thanks," Matthew stated, hurrying to his feet. Maybe if he was quick enough, he could figure out where the big red muscle-bound hotty had gone. He mentally rolled his eyes at his thoughts. Damn. Did he really think the huge bruiser was hot?
Matthew reminded himself that he was just going to thank the guy.
Even with that thought lodged firmly in mind, he couldn't help feeling a fissure of excitement course up his spine.
Why the fuck was that?
Not really wanting to dwell on that reaction, Matthew tried not to appear in too big a hurry as he rounded the table and headed toward the door. He closed the door behind him while glancing in both directions. Thinking he spotted movement to his left, he headed that way.
Hustling swiftly down the hallway, Matthew stretched his stride, using his six foot one inch height to advantage. Still, he only managed to keep catching a fleeting glance of red and black each time he rounded a corner.
Finally, after several minutes of pursuit, Matthew saw the gargoyle he followed disappear through a doorway. At least, this time, he caught sight of it enough to know it really was Vane. The blood-red body and black wings were unmistakable. He paused outside the door, debating, but since it'd been left open several inches, decided to risk it and head inside.
As Matthew gently pushed the door open, he peered around it, trying to differentiate the objects inside the darkened interior. He could just make out a sofa and a chair, plus some dark smudges behind that which might have been an archway.
Matthew had about convinced himself to back out of the room—hell, going in there was more nosey than even he wanted to be—when a big hand clamped a firm grip on his arm. Matthew found himself yanked the rest of the way inside, spun around, and pressed into the wall. Grunting, he felt a heavy weight press against his backside while huge hands grasped his wrists and forced them over his head.
His heart raced in his chest, and he gasped for air.
"Why are you following me, human?"
The low growling voice vibrated through his chest and over his senses. To Matthew's shock, his prick began to thicken. Knowing it was completely inappropriate, he breathed slowly through his nose, trying to calm his ill-timed erection. It didn't help. If fact, breathing in the gargoyle's heavy musk, had Matthew fighting back a moan as he went from perking up to hard as steel.
"Well?" The gargoyle rumbled the one word, his grip tightening infinitesimally on his wrists, accentuating his rising ire.
Matthew knew he needed to find his tongue. Swallowing hard, he finally managed to gasp out, "To thank you."
Vane glared at the thickly muscled neck of the oddly pleasant smelling human.
Damn it! I did not just think that! I do not like humans…how they smell or otherwise.
Instead, Vane focused on the male's unexpected answer. To thank him? "For what?"
"Saving my brother," the man replied breathily.
Realizing he probably crushed the much smaller male, Vane eased his body away from the human. As soon as he drew away, he discovered he wanted to press his body right back against this male's, except not because he felt he needed to subdue him.
Irritation flooded Vane at his body's ridiculous responses.
Releasing the stranger's arms, he gripped the human's shoulders and spun him around, thudding his back to the wall. He peeled his lips away from what he knew were prominent—and razor sharp—teeth, offering the guy a feral snarl. Bending down a bit, he got right into the guy's face and demanded, "What's your name? Who's your brother?"
The human's hazel eyes widened slightly. His mouth hung open just a bit as he swept his gaze over Vane's features. Yeah, Vane knew what the human would see, a face flat and bony around the eyes like a skull, a sunken nose, prominent jawline, and red eyes that almost seemed to glow. He'd had enough people tell him that, and not all had been human.
Hell, Cornelius—who happened to be a rhino shifter and mated to Einan, the clutch's lead enforcer—had given him the kindest description. He'd called Vane sexy…in a creepy crypt master way. Hell, he'd take it.
"What?" Vane rumbled. For some reason, he couldn't resist leaning closer and scenting the human. "Cat got your tongue?" Fuck, the guy tilted his head, offering more room, in the most sexy of ways.
"I-I'm Matthew. Matthew Beakman," the human whispered. "You saved my brother, Marty. Th-That's—"
"Raymond's mate," Vane interrupted gruffly. He couldn't help inhaling Matthew's scent, couldn't resist slowly sliding the tip of his nose bone up his neck—less than an inch from the man's delicate column of flesh. Gods, why did the human have to tilt his head, offering more? Vane just resisted the urge to open his mouth and swipe his tongue up that same skin, touching, tasting.
Growling, angrier at himself than at Matthew—hell, the human'd had enough balls to not only learn who he was, but to follow him through multiple corridors—Vane shoved away from the wall…and the man.
Vane forced his features to remain still and impassive as he straightened to his full seven foot height. He stepped back and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Fine. You thanked me, which is unnecessary. I was following orders. Please leave."

Bladder Cancer Can Be Tough on Mental Health. How to Cope
Sneha Santiago
AAlthough Mac Howard has spent the past 16 years without a recurrence of bladder cancer, he never really feels free. The 58-year-old Indiana resident still examines his urine for traces of blood, and every time he marks another anniversary of his diagnosis, there's a fear in his stomach.
"It's always in the back of my mind," he says. "At times the fear was paralyzing, and I know my wife and three children have been affected by it. The recurrence rate for bladder cancer is quite high, and going for as long as I have doesn't feel like success – it's more like suspense. Will this be the month it comes back?"
More than 81,000 new cases of bladder cancer will be diagnosed in 2022, according to the American Cancer Society, and the recurrence rate after five years is 50% to 70%.
According to a 2020 survey of nearly 600 people with bladder cancer conducted by the Health Union online patient community, 18% of respondents were diagnosed with depression and 16% with anxiety. About 60% said they experience anxiety about their cancer returning, and 23% searched online for the terms "mental health and bladder cancer". Only about 38% reported feeling emotionally supported during their cancer process.
"Bladder cancer can be very stressful because you often have to deal with changes in body function and sometimes body image, as well as potential changes in sexual health," says Dr. Shawn Dason, a urologic surgeon at Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. "There may also be shifts in sleep quality or the need to quit smoking, as bladder cancer is strongly linked to smoking, and it can all feel overwhelming."
Fortunately, there are some strategies that can be helpful no matter where you are on your cancer journey.
Concentrate on what you can control
Coping with a bladder cancer diagnosis is hard enough, but it's common for patients to have even more going on, such as secondary cancer, which can lead to feelings of helplessness.
In the Health Union survey, 30% of respondents had been diagnosed with another cancer before or after being diagnosed with bladder cancer. And 87% reported other health problems such as high cholesterol, hypertension and arthritis.
Have a… secondary cancerin particular, can make it feel like bad news is always just around the corner, says Rebecca Capizzi, 52, a New Jersey resident who was diagnosed with bladder cancer in October 2020 but has ovarian, thyroid, and breast cancer therefor.
"It's hard not to be in a fight-or-flight response all the time, especially with tests coming up," she says. "I have fear in my stomach when I think: what now? I've been through so much with surgeries and chemos, but it still feels like it will never end for me."
How to support cancer patients during mental health struggles Anderson Cancer Center
That's why Capizzi focused on finding what helps her feel a stronger sense of control over her body and mind: exercise, especially walking. Even when she is actively treated and can only do minimal physical activity, she takes short walks because it improves her mental health so much.
"Staying active is a huge stress reliever for me," says Capizzi. "When everything feels like it's too much, I know I can move my body, and that makes a difference."
It's important to understand how destabilizing a cancer diagnosis can be, adds Naomi Torres-Mackie, a clinical psychologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, New York. There can often be a conflation of "sick" with "weak," she says, and bladder cancer treatments can reinforce that feeling. Incorporating more exercise can be one way to build an emotional sense of strength, as well as the physical resilience needed for treatment, says Torres-Mackie.

Accept help from others
Even when friends and family are eager to offer help, it can be difficult to accept help because it can feel like a loss of autonomy, says Dr. Shanthi Gowrinathan, a psychiatrist who specializes in psycho-oncology at Saint John's Cancer Institute at the Providence Saint John's Health Center. in Santa Monica, California.
"With bladder cancer, especially when you have changes in your body function, it can be difficult to navigate social situations," she says. "There is social stigma, shame, awkwardness and embarrassment. As a result, people tend to withdraw and become more isolated. Unfortunately, this can leave you feeling demoralized."
Allowing others to lend a hand can counteract that sense of isolation, as well as the idea that you have to do everything yourself, says Capizzi. It has been a challenge for her to accept the many offers from her family, friends and colleagues to provide support, such as bringing food and walking her dogs.
"Most people want to be helpful, and they love it when you take them up on their offer, because they want to be helpful," she says. "You quickly learn who you can lean on. But it's up to you to lean.
Consider talking to a therapist
Although being open with friends and family can help relieve the pressure associated with the bladder cancer diagnosistreatment and fear of recurrence, talking to a trained therapist can give you more freedom to express all the anger, fear, frustration, and sadness that's inside you, says Howard.
'We've lost track of who we are': How one group is helping people support farmer mental health
"My number one piece of advice to anyone with bladder cancer is to see a therapist," he says. "Family means well, and they have the best of intentions if they're willing to listen, but it's hard to unload all this on your loved ones. For me, I needed a safe space where I could cry and rant and just let go. A therapist doesn't just listen. They help you deal with what is happening, and they can help you make a plan that will give you a way forward."
Specific mental health treatments have been proven to be effective for cancer patients, Torres-Mackie adds, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). A 2019 study in the journal Urological oncology found that CBT and other mental health interventions, both before and after bladder cancer treatment, played an important role in health outcomes. The researchers noted that depression and anxiety can increase postoperative complications and affect long-term survival rates. That means therapy isn't just about helping you feel better emotionally right now — it can have a profound effect on your physical health for years to come.
Connect with other patients
When Atlanta resident Brittany Tellekamp, 32, was first diagnosed with cancer, there was debate among her doctors about what type it might be. She was 28 at the time – and the average age for bladder cancer diagnosis is 73. About 90% of those diagnosed with the condition are over 55 years old. In addition to being younger than most patients, Tellekamp had none of the major risk factors associated with bladder cancer, such as to smoke or regular exposure to chemicals such as paint or solvents.
When the doctors finally arrived at a diagnosis, the news was worse than she feared: stage IV metastatic bladder cancer. A doctor told Tellekamp's husband and mother that it was doubtful she would make it to her next birthday, which was three months away. Thanks to immunotherapy, she's passed that birthday and a few more since, but she feels like she's in "extra turns" now.
The confusion, terror, and dramatic news in those first few months—combined with frustrating insurance issues—led Tellekamp to start a blog, even though she didn't think anyone would read it.
"It felt like I was screaming into the void," she recalls. "But from the beginning it was very cathartic. Also, I thought there might be a chance I could find other young people with bladder cancer, which isn't usually the case in support groups." Not only did she find those connections, but she expanded her reach to social media and started to update. contribute to a group chat of people with metastatic cancer.
The Added Health Benefits of Walking in Nature
"Knowing you're not going to ring that bell that signals the end of your cancer treatment can make you feel really alone," says Tellekamp. "Community is going to be hugely important." Deepening those friendships gives her a sense of control, she adds, as she feels like a patient advocate, helping others through feelings and situations that have also been challenging for her.

Mourn your loss
Tellekamp's mother, who had thyroid cancer a few years ago, has been an important source of support through treatment. One piece of wisdom she shared that has been particularly meaningful is, "Let yourself grieve for who you will no longer be."
That means that even if you go into remission or are declared cancer-free, you will never again be the person who existed before cancer. That realization can feel like a gut feeling, says Tellekamp. There may also be tension around the desire to stay positive and cheerful whenever possible. But Tellekamp believes that if you don't acknowledge that your identity has shifted, those feelings settle in you instead of being released. It is important not to live in the darkness of deep loss to the previous version of yourself that you had to leave behind.
"Sometimes I set a timer for 15 minutes for sadness, and then I cry and scream," she says. "When the timer goes off, I get up and go fold the laundry. You can't stop living and living in your grief, but you can't pretend it isn't there either. You have to respect the grieving process and find ways to let it out."
When considering the effects of bladder cancer, the term "silver lining" may seem incongruous. But Howard notes that even fear of possible recurrence can be an advantage, depending on what you do with that energy.
"One thing cancer has done for me was sharpen the understanding that if I want to do something, I better get around to it," he says. That led to a stint as a part-time prison preacher, and he also got tattoos that he had previously hesitated about, worried about what people would think. He also takes more time just to be present and attentive, and to indulge in feelings of gratitude for how far he's come.
"If I could go back in time, I wouldn't change a thing, not even get cancer," he says. "It made me who I am, and I've had 58 great years. I don't know how many I have left, but I will be here, fully, for all of them."

- To support the growth of IoT, manufacturers are actively investigating alternative sources of energy to power their designs, helping to reduce environmental impact and lower manufacturing and maintenance costs. With this solution, established on the RSL10 Bluetooth Low Energy radio, we are proving that a battery-free and maintenance-free approach to smart sensor development is not only possible but can help manufacturers improve their designs.
There are a growing number of IoT sensor applications where the duty cycle is low enough to support intermittent communications, allowing the energy needed to support operation to be harvested using renewable sources.
The energy efficiency of the RSL10 is augmented by the highly efficient power management system and the ultra-low-power sensors implemented in the platform. Applications are expected to include smart home and building automation such as HVAC control, window/door sensors and air quality monitoring. Asset tracking including package open/close detection, shock monitoring, and temperature and humidity data logging are also possible applications.

Announcing the launch in a tweet, President Solih stated that he is confident that the magazine would prove useful for the industry stakeholders, students and visitors. The magazine depicts the Governments' plans to advance the tourism sector in the Maldives.
President Solih also contributed to the foreword of the first issue. He stated that our natural assets and the tourism sector's care and expertise had established the Maldives as a standard-bearer for the industry and one of the world's most popular destinations. He expounded on the hardships the industry has had to endure due to the Covid-19 pandemic, affirming that through the combined efforts of stakeholders, and stringent safety measures taken to ensure that the Maldives is a safe-destination, the number of visitors to the destination is now steadily on the rise.
Proud to launch the first issue of "Maldives Tourism Bulletin" – a tourism magazine by the @MoTmv. I'm confident that the magazine would prove a useful source of information for industry stakeholders, students and visitors. https://t.co/6i7YnKgOte pic.twitter.com/xthjGS3ndN
— Ibrahim Mohamed Solih (@ibusolih) January 1, 2021
He also expressed his optimism that we will continue to see the tourism sector strengthen as the Maldives, and the world, recover in 2021. The magazine can be accessed at tourism.gov.mv/en/news/maldives_tourism_bulletin
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge effect on the tourism industry and as Maldives recovers from the pandemic, continuous efforts are made by the government and the industry to restore former tourism level in Maldives. Due to the hard work and effort from all those working in the industry, the country has managed to successfully welcome more than its targeted amount of tourists to the country with 554,800 tourist arrivals recorded for the year 2020, despite the pandemic.
While the island nation does not require tourists to go through quarantine or testing on arrival, all the tourists are required to complete an online health declaration form given by the country and to also provide a negative PCR test result along with it. The PCR test must be taken at least 96 hours prior to departure.
However, due to the newly found Covid-19 variant in United Kingdom, tourists arriving from UK on work visas and locals who spend over 12 hours in UK will have to go through a mandatory 10 day quarantine period in Maldives upon arrival. As the new variant of the virus has now been discovered in neighbouring countries India and Pakistan, health officials urge the public to remain vigilant to avoid another outbreak in Maldives.
Attention to service quality and natural beauty must be prioritized: President Solih
The vision is to expand tourism across the Maldives: President Solih
Gov will diversify tourism industry through partnerships with private sector: President Solih
Allowing private sector to work without Gov't interference has yielded positive results: President Solih

From the Chicago SunTimes.
"David P. Schippers Jr., the Republican Party's chief counsel in the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, died of pancreatic cancer Friday at 88 at his home in Grayslake.
In 1998, U.S. Rep. Henry J. Hyde, R-Illinois, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, appointed Mr. Schippers to be the committee's chief investigator as it weighed whether to endorse the impeachment of Clinton.
After independent counsel Ken Starr had recommended 11 grounds for impeachment, including obstruction of justice and lying under oath, Mr. Schippers, a Chicago criminal defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor, said there were at least 15.
"If you don't impeach, then no House of Representatives will ever be able to impeach again," he said. "The bar will be so high that only a convicted felon or a traitor will need to be concerned."
In December 1998, the House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment for perjury and obstruction of justice, sending the question to the full House. Days later, for just the second time in history, the Republican-controlled House voted to impeach a president–in this case, for misleading officials about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
After a trial, the Republican-controlled Senate voted on Feb. 12, 1999, to acquit Clinton.
"In the U.S. Senate, politics trumped principles, and polls trumped honor," Mr. Schippers said in a book he wrote with Alan P. Henry, "Sellout: the Inside Story of President Clinton's Impeachment."
He felt "he had a solid case, and he didn't think all of those people in the Senate were honoring their oath of office," according to his son David. But his son said he also knew this: "You win some, you lose some.""
"He used to tell his kids, "Never bet against God, Notre Dame and the Democratic Party," according to his son, who said, "After he got old and the Clinton impeachment, he said, 'At least, I'm two out of three.' "
As a federal prosecutor in Chicago in the 1960s, Mr. Schippers headed an organized-crime division under then-U.S. Attorney Edward V. Hanrahan. He helped prosecute Sam Battaglia, a successor to Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana. And his unit's work led to a yearlong stay at the Cook County Jail for Giancana, sent there for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury."

"In fact, Clinton's behavior (in office and in hotel rooms) is disgracefully consistent. He lies, cheats, betrays and exploits without qualms. Whether it's Kosovo and taxes, or testimony under oath, he can be trusted only to be untrustworthy.
Still, the majority didn't care about revelations of adultery and draft-dodging in 1992. When the president turned the White House into a cat house, they only shook their heads and blamed Kenneth Starr. Even though opinion polls showed most thought the president lied under oath, they were insistent that he not be removed. Therefore, the tendency will be not to disbelieve Broaddrick's accusation, but to simply blot it out of our consciousness".

I started reading his book 'Sellout' about the impeachment and it got me so ticked off i couldn't finish it. He described how the Republican senators sold us down the drain. They told him in advance they were never going to impeach Clinton.
The entire impeachment was just a stunt for them to look like they were doing something.

In any courtroom in America a sitting REPUBLICAN POTUS would have been REMOVED FROM OFFICE……….NOT BECAUSE OF HIS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR, but because he saw fit to LIE WHILE UNDER OATH, at which point he violated his Oath of Office with the absolute worst CARDINAL SIN. A couple of slimy senators, and a crooked judge saved his A$$, and agreed to CENSURE……..which meant NOTHING to slick willy. Today he is showing the attrition of advancing illness. We might soon enjoy the pleasure of watching him depart for GOD'S COURTROOM.
……….such people think they are going to live forever, and therefore they believe they are invincible. TEDDY WASN'T INVINCIBLE, and eventually Mary Jo Kopechne had her day in court with the BASTARD………HE LOST!!!!!!!……….so will SLICK WILLY, and all the others who follow. It is not a question of IF…………rather a question of WHEN. We are all born on earth to be TERMINAL.
A 181 year ban on hats in congress is about to be reversed in order to please new muslim members who want to wear hats.

It's been 8 weeks since @nytimes reported that Rod Rosenstein talked to subordinates about recording the President and invoking the 25th Amendment.
Why has Mr. Rosenstein still not testified in front of Congress?
……….President Trump made a tweet in which the POTUS referred to ATOM SNIFF, as Adam SCHITT. Cracked me up big time!!!!
……….four "JINGLE JAWS" at FOXNEWS all sound like they are mentally ill.
