We have been delivering evidence-based suicide prevention programs and research for almost 30 years.
Australia has an opportunity to take an all of community and all of service system approach to suicide prevention and better link regional, state and national approaches.
The time for action is now!
Suicide is an issue that affects all communities. Recent preliminary data indicated there were 3,139 deaths due to suicide in 2020. This equates to an average of 8.6 deaths by suicide in Australia each day.
While this is a stark reminder of the work still to be done, it is possible with renewed focus, renewed resources, and renewed ways of working that we can turn this around together.
Our institute works across local, state and national initiatives and can support the coordination needed to deliver successful responses to the communities we serve.
We acknowledge all people who have direct experience of suicide, including those who have attempted suicide and those bereaved by suicide. The voice of people with lived experience is essential in developing our suicide prevention work.
We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land we live and work on and pay our respects to elders past, present and future. We also pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander services and communities who support our work and partner with us to reduce the impact of suicide across Australia.
We acknowledge the many organisations, service providers, and community members who work in partnership with us and share their views, knowledge and expertise, and stories to help shape our work.
#YouCanTalk
Everymind is part of the joint national #YouCanTalk suicide prevention campaign, which gives people the confidence to respond to friends and family when they need help and guide them to the right support services. For more, click here.
Suicide affects many families, workplaces, services, schools and communities.
Suicide prevention is everybody's business, and it's important to understand what prevention approaches are, so we can all work together to reduce suicide.


The Roof is placed on the top of Langstroth or 3/4 Langstroth Box. The roof can also be used as a bottom in summer time. However, since the roof does not have a ventilation hole in a middle of it, it cannot be used as a bottom in the winter time.

Love City Groove were a musical group who represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995, with their self-titled song after being the runaway winner in a public vote. The song finished tenth with 76 points; and peaked at No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart.

Biography

Beginnings and Song for Europe
Love City Groove were formed by the producer and songwriter Stephen 'Beanz' Rudden - who at the time was a staff writer at Warner Chappell publishing company. Rudden had worked with fellow Warner Chappell writer Tatiana Mais also known as 'Q-Tee', producing one of her songs and requested that she rap over a song he had written, called "Sentence of Love". Q-Tee believing that a male rapper was also needed, arrived at the studio with Jay Williams - a student at the BRIT School For Performing Arts & Technology. Rudden had written the song at his West Hempstead studio in December 1993 where he had met Paul Hardy, who later sang the chorus, 'In the morning, when the sun shines'. In February 1994, Rudden took the rap parts and mixed them in with the new chorus track sung by Hardy. He presented the song to his A&R rep, Dave Ambrose at Planet 3 Records, which was to be released later that year. However, Jonathan King heard it at BBC and requested that the song be submitted for A Song for Europe in 1995. The final line up of the band consisted of Stephen Rudden, Jay Williams, Yinka Charles (a.k.a. 'Reason') and Paul Hardy.

After Eurovision 1995
Despite the success of their Eurovision entry which went on to sell over 200,000 copies in the UK, they had trouble repeating the trick. The follow-up "Soft Spot" missed out on the UK Singles Chart. This was followed by "J.U.M.P" which likewise did not enter the official UK listing. Their debut album Hard Times received a limited release, and sold in small quantities. The group then split from their record label, Planet 3. The band returned a year later with a cover of the track "I Found Lovin'". With several line up changes, but not much success, the group finally split up for good.

Rudden then submitted a song originally written for Love City Groove, but sung by a new group called The Collective, for an appearance in the 1998 A Song for Europe contest, to try for a second stab at Eurovision glory but ended up coming last of four performers with the song "When We're Alone (We Dream)". The track was released but missed out on the UK chart.

Solo careers
Rudden began to write and mix music for other artists, television and film. Earlier in his career in the mid-1980s, he worked with various local groups, such as Smell Funky Beast and behind the scenes programming work with British synth-pop dance band Kissing the Pink and then solo instrumental project Plutonic, releasing Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" (CBS Records 1989). This landed him a contract at CBS Records in London and a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music. He then turned Plutonic into the first of many "group projects" he would helm with "Twilight Zone" (Sony – 1991) and, in 1992, an album for Arista Records, including the singles "One Life" (mixes by Frankie Knuckles and Mike "Hitman" Wilson) and "Sentence of Love" (with a remix by Eric Kuppa). Alongside pop co-productions and co-writes, he expanded into film music writing the title theme "Get Crafty" for the Kelsey Grammer film The Real Howard Spitz (Miramax), music for the Disney game Astro Knights as well as music for the UK pre-school series Raindrops. In 2007, Rudden released his follow up instrumental album, Blog on iTunes. It was not until 2011, that Rudden considered re-releasing "Love City Groove" and reconnected with Paul Hardy. They recorded the new single, but in this version, the rap verses were replaced and sung by Moxiie. It was then released in August 2011 on the record label Strawberry Hill, run by the group's original label head, Dave Ambrose.

Rudden also collaborated with up and coming artists as well as penning songs that were to be submitted to Eurovision artists, from his Hertfordshire home studio. Hardy continued to sing, performing tribute shows throughout the country and abroad. Williams retired from the music industry. Charles started to work with new artists. Yinka Charles, a.k.a. Reason, worked with other artists and had a new track that came out in March 2013 called "Tings Hafi Runn". Yinka also collaborated with Johnie D, Mista Stixx and Mono Chorus.

Paul Hardy, a.k.a. 'Phoenix', appeared in series 5 of The Voice UK in 2016.

Sanctuary - Syfy: Video: Sneak Peek of 'Kali, Parts 1 & 2'

Everything you need to know about this week's sci-fi TV
By Kathie Huddleston
...Sanctuary (Syfy), Friday at 9 p.m.
Two-hour season finale!
It's hard to believe we're at the end of Sanctuary's second season already. But at least the season is ending with what creator Damian Kindler believes are "two of the most original episodes Sanctuary has ever done." In "Kali, Parts 1 and 2," when all the abnormals in the world begin to behave irrationally, it leads to an ancient abnormal who could destroy billions of lives if left unchecked. The episodes are "completely outside the box," said Kindler. "You will see monster and creature design on a scale we've never attempted before. 'Kali, Parts 1 and 2' are really about a global threat, and we take the audience places they've never been, and we show footage we shot in Tokyo when we were there. And then we take you to our version of Bombay, the ocean depths, the middle of the Indian Ocean. In part two there is, believe it or not, an amazing Bollywood dance by Will Zimmerman." Beyond the dancing Zimmerman, Syfy announced it's picked up Sanctuary for a third season.

Stargate Universe - Pink Paper Magazine: Ming-Na Interview
At Pink Paper Magazine:
(Please follow the link for the complete interview.)
"My husband was super thrilled when he found out I was playing a lesbian"
Ming Na was Deb in ER and the voice of Mulan. Yes, Disney's Mulan. Now she's playing gay as Camille Wray in Stargate Universe.
Pink Paper Magazine
Working on a show like Stargate Universe, how does it differ from something like ER?
Ming-Na: "Well I've been so impressed with Sci-Fi and MGM, with a station that's a little bit smaller there is a great deal more support and a comfort that you get from the executives of MGM and Sci-Fi. They're friendly, completely approachable, super-supportive. I mean, right now, MGM will be showing a 90 second trailer in movie theatres which is fantastic. It's amazing support. It feels like a big family. That's one aspect of it. Another aspect of it is that the whole Stargate franchise has been around for 15 years. They have Brad Wright and Robert Cooper and the crew and the writers have all been involved for many, many years. It's just such a well-oiled machine and they've embraced all of us newbies with open arms and there's a lot of comfort so I'm really thrilled about that. Most of the time you're there biting your nails thinking 'oh God, I hope they like it and god, I hope they enjoy it. I hope the numbers come in', and so on. Of course, we want big numbers and I think at the same time they're excited to see the show air in general."

Q: Programmatically adding products to tags in Magento I'm currently working on a custom import script for Magento and now I want to add products to the Tags from the CSV file. I've used a snippet from another question here on StackOverflow, but for some reason it doesn't do what is expected.
function addTag($bundleProductId, $tagArray) {
    $tags = explode(',', $tagArray);
    array_walk($tags, 'trim_value');

    $customerId = NULL;
    $storeId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getId();
    $productId = $bundleProductId;

    $tagModel = Mage::getModel('tag/tag');
    //$tagModel->loadByName($tagName); // if not using a loop
    foreach ($tags as $tagName) {
    $tagModel->unsetData()->loadByName($tagName); //if using a loop

        if (!$tagModel->getId()) {
             $tagModel->setName($tagName)
                  ->setFirstCustomerId($customerId)
                  ->setFirstStoreId($storeId)
                  ->setStatus($tagModel->getPendingStatus())
                  ->save();
        }
   $relationStatus = $tagModel->saveRelation($productId, $customerId, $storeId);
    }
}

After the script has run, the Admin Panel shows the new tags with a "1" in the "Products" column, (as expected,) but when I edit the Tag nothing has been selected.

A: Its hard to find until to see full code. But anyway here I have include another bit of code that I have used it regularly and its working fine.

The 1955 Orange Bowl was the 21st edition of the college football bowl game, held in Miami, Florida, on Saturday, January 1. It matched the Duke Blue Devils of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and the Nebraska Cornhuskers of the Big Seven Conference. Duke, ranked fourteenth in both polls, was favored by two touchdowns, and won, 34–7.

Unranked Nebraska was the Big Seven runner-up to undefeated Oklahoma, the defending Orange Bowl champions. The Sooners were not invited due to the conference's no-repeat rule for the postseason.

Included in the record attendance was Vice President Richard Nixon, an alumnus of Duke's law school.

Teams

Both teams were making their first Orange Bowl appearance.

Duke

The Blue Devils won all four of their conference games; they tied Purdue and lost to both Army and Navy. This was Duke's fourth bowl game appearance, and the first in ten years.

Nebraska

Wondering what the future of enterprise food services holds? Get ready, because 2019 and beyond would see some amazing things to bring to the table. The consumer-related food tech advancements that we have seen in the previous decades are truly exciting, but the enterprises continue to be on outdated systems. We predict that enterprise legacy systems will pale in comparison to the types of innovative food technologies & services that will be created in the coming years which will have a deep impact on an employee choice, convenience, and overall food experience.
While it is impossible to say how the future will unfold for sure, with close to decade of our deep customer knowledge & the data insights, we expect to see and be part of building disruptive products & services. Focusing on leveraging the rapidly advancing fields like the cloud kitchens, food robots, waste management, IOTs and deep learning frameworks in a manner that will improve the health of every enterprise, individual, food supply chain ecosystem. It will also assist in ensuring consistent food security around the globe.
Traditionally, employers would hire one caterer for a year-long contract, bringing food to the office canteen for employees to purchase. Even when it's good, it's the same thing every time. There are multiple use cases of an employee where food ordering and expectation standards differ. To bring innovation, imagine daily food served by a different caterer while still having just one vendor to handle the contract and end-to-end services. This allows for food variety where your corporation could do a food trial from a pool of caterers, home chefs who have the capabilities to serve for smaller companies and shortlist different caterers who could bring in daily food on a rotation basis. We like to call this concept "Cloud Cafeterias" where we create a pool of cloud caterer brands, get array of menu options like a healthy meal, local or global cuisine based specialities and satisfy the taste buds of your employees and delegates. While providing the variety, collecting daily feedback from the employees allows you to improve performance & experience. As we know the preferences of the employees, individual custom menus being available on daily basis, systematic suggestions and ordering will be a reality soon.
From restaurants to grocery stores, robots will play an increasingly important role in the way we prepare and get our food. And since robots can run 24 hours a day, they are the perfect solution for making food and even food deliveries on demand, all around the clock. We are already seeing them in places like Spyce, Caliburger, Creator, and Cafe X.
Now things are moving from pilot programs and tests to become integrated in our everyday lives. We are bound to see these revolutions coming into the offices captive cafeterias and kitchens as well. Restaurants of high-traffic and high-volume locales will be the first to dive deep into the robotics games. Be ready to see food robots in corporate offices, airports and food courts in malls. Need a visual? Check out below video.
As the old saying goes, "You are what you eat." With more and more employees ordering their daily office meals online, the data insights can show us what kinds of eating habits they have. When you compile this data together for each organisation, an enterprise health report can be crafted. This way, your company can know the overall health and wellness of your employees compared to other companies. By encouraging healthy eating habits, you can encourage healthier employees that are more productive. They will need less sick days and will be less likely to suffer from major health issues which will keep health insurance costs lower.
One aspect of future food technology that is sure to take hold is the adoption of rebate-enabling food journals by health insurance providers. As an individual's diet is one of the greatest ways to determine their overall health and risk factors for serious diseases, we wholly expect health insurance providers to create a system where the upkeep of an accurate food journalcould potentially lead to lower health insurance rates for those who work to upkeep healthy lifestyles.
With technology on your side, your office can help to minimise food wastage and implement new techniques to reuse food. An example of this is donating excess to the needy instead of letting perfectly good, unused food go to waste from the office cafeteria.
Ever wonder how much time that banana you're snacking on takes to travel to where you have purchased it from? What about those seemingly-healthy apples coated in sugary wax? Knowing where our produce comes from is essential for better health.
There's currently a huge demand for food transparency, one where consumers want to know where that banana or apple was picked and how much time it took to arrive at the point of purchase. Block chain technology is just one approach we're experimenting with to solve this dilemma. There's much room for tech-enabled solutions to bring a clearer vision of the foods we eat before we bite into them.
Thanks to the online food discovery and ordering platforms which provide restaurant rating and ranking systems, consumers can provide instant feedback which could help restaurants take action to improve. Likewise, when it comes to the daily office catering industry, there isn't a systematic way to provide feedback mechanisms. Expect to see this change quickly where all feedback is revealed so that every enterprise can see the caterer infrastructure, employees, and overall service health report to see if they meet proper service standards.
Augmented & Virtual reality, Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform office and personal meal journey.
In the coming years, we may be able to take an instant photo of the food being served in office cafeteria (or anywhere) and know the quality of food through deep image processing techniques. That would be a huge asset to those who want instant information for how many calories they'd be consuming if they were to eat everything in their photo. Through artificial intelligence and machines learning data insights, algorithms can be built to suggest personalised food recommendations.
Everyone loves biryani. Getting it at the touch of a button would be heavenly! Just like the coffee vending machine, dosamatic, roti maker etc., biryani is the most preferred food item which can be cooked through a assembly machine. It would bring in scale, predictability and more efficiency, plus it would minimise pilferage and wastage. Automating simple repetitive tasks like this are more measurable, and benefit everyone.
Embracing food tech doesn't mean we should fear robots will take over our jobs. After all, there are some things that they just can't do, like add a personalised human touch. But as we look to mature markets like the US, China, and Europe and watch them move from pilot to adoption phases of deep food tech solutions, it's getting better and better. Are you ready to taste what's next?
Sooner than later we all have to build multiple technology enabled products & services and embrace the new wave of foodtech. It's not a question of if the revolution will happen, and it's increasingly less of a question as to when the revolution will happen–because it's already started!

A sea of yellow and orange leaves covers the yard, rippling ever so gently with the wind. The mailman trudges through the colorful debris wielding a handful of letters in front of his body and an official USPS bag slung over his shoulder.
"Lazy people," he curses under his breath as wades to the mailbox on the outside of the small and otherwise tidy house.
He knows so much about the people on his route and so little at the same time. He knows their names and titles, their subscriptions and bills. He knows when they get home from work and the cars they drive. He knows where ferocious dogs are apt to be chained up and where an evil-eyed cat waits all day in the window, glaring out at the world with disdain.
He knows that it's time for raking; actually, its past the time for raking, and still the leaves on the corner lot cover the ground, turning from gold to brown and killing the grass underneath.
"Don't worry about the grass, if it dies, we won't have to mow next Summer," I reassure my worried husband about his silly lawn related concerns.
He does not respond with the expected appreciation at my problem solving. Instead, he arrives home with a box of leaf and refuse bags, two scooper claws, a new gimmick for picking up leaves, and drags out the rakes from the back of the garage. Navigating the garage without tripping over a level or having a ladder crash onto his head is quite the feat, so I know he means business when he shows up with his gear.
He gives a rallying cry for his leaf army to assemble and begin the long awaited, annual battle against the leaves before the city ends the leaf-bag-pick-up period. Of note, I am unwillingly drafted, but still fulfill my duty to restore order to the yard. Soon, the leaves are gathered into huge piles, with one sweep from my husband to every three of mine.
Thanks to Daylight Savings, it is too dark to continue until the next day.
By the end of the weekend, blisters on our hands and a garage sized pile of plastic bags filled with leaves are all we have to show for our time, but we are nonetheless proud of our work. We stand back and admire the newly created Mt. Leafmore and the mostly leaf free, partially dead yard, when neighbors from down the street stroll by wearing matching black track suits and wave.
"Too bad the last day for leaf pick up was on Friday," they snicker to themselves and walk on towards their perfectly manicured lawn.
And so it goes, it was too little, too late. Why did we wait? Why didn't we double down and get it done a week earlier?
There is a simple answer, we are leaf peepers. People who would rather admire the leaves as they change colors and marvel as they drop from the trees and fall to Earth than to try and clean up after Mother Nature. Blessed are the Leaf Peepers, for they shall inherit the leaves.
Bags and bags of leaves.
The screen door slowly opened with a squeak. The hinges were reddish-brown with rust and curls of white paint peeled away from the wooden door. A pink noise poked out and sniffed at the air; the nose was followed by the black and white body of a small dog. The animal slipped the rest of the way out of the house and the door slammed behind it with a bang.
Scents of all kinds bombarded the tiny but powerful nostrils of the dog. It looked left and then right, orienting to its new surroundings. A squirrel watched from the branch of an oak tree in the front yard, holding a nut in its claws and waited to see what the domesticated creature would do next.
The dog took off in a beeline towards the edge of the yard, running with muscular strides, quickly drawing away from the house.
"Beanie!" a boy yelled as he pushed through the screen door. He wore jean shorts and striped tank top; dark hair fell over his forehead and hit the top of his ears, in a perfect bowl cut.
A girl followed the boy through the door, letting the door slam behind her. Bangs obstructed her view and she pushed heavy locks away from her nearsighted eyes. She wore a faded pair of jeans, rolled up at the bottoms with a thin t-shirt.
With bare feet, the pair raced after the dog, leaving mashed grass and flowers in their wake.
"Beanie! Beanie! Come back!" they yelled in unison.
Suddenly the dog stopped and looked back, it waited for the kids to catch up. Its sides heaved in and out and its tongue fell from its mouth as it rested for a second and then it took off again like a shot.
Chase me, shiny eyes begged as it risked a quick glance back at its pursuers.
The siblings laughed and resumed the chase after the dog.
An engine revved over the hill and a car appeared trailing a cloud of dust from the gravel road as it sped towards them. Screaming, the girl grabbed the boy with both arms, pulling him back from the road as the car flew past them.
The car intersected with the escaping dog. They watched its body hit the front of the car and shoot off to the side of the road. The girl's heart pounded in her chest, she was still screaming. The car sped on, never once hitting its brakes as the dog lay still on its side. Its life whiffed out in the same moment as the fleeting innocence of childhood.
Once a year, we open our door, flip on the light and wait for monsters to visit. We welcome them, in spite of their threats of tricks and unreasonable demands to smell their feet, with candy.
It's my husband's favorite holiday, far surpassing that of Thanksgiving or my birthday. He prepares in advance by selecting special treats, canceling any plans that don't involve passing out fun sized candy bars and waiting in excited anticipation.
This year, he positioned himself by the door with a bowl of candy. He cracked his knuckles, stretched his arms, and bent over to touch his toes and stood back up like he was preparing for a half marathon.
"We're in for a big night, we have to be ready. I can feel it," he explained with unexplainable certainty as the clock ticked towards six o'clock.
Sure enough, a steady stream of visitors arrived shortly after the designated start time, one after another. The first friends of the night were a cluster of superheroes with shiny, plastic masks and capes.
A group of golden wig wearing princesses followed closely behind the boys. They gave a respectful thirty seconds to allow the superheroes time to walk down the steps and onto the sidewalk before bounding up to the steps to the door. Their parents waited at the edge of the sidewalk, close enough to give a pseudo impression of independence or to rush in at a moment's notice.
Meanwhile, the giver of candy generously continued to pass out handfuls of candy as the night went on, and the visitors began to arrive by vehicle instead of on foot. They came from nearby neighborhoods where it's not safe to knock on a stranger's door and visitors are not welcomed with smiles and snacks.
We watched as an old van with a missing tail light and a wide array of dents puttered past our lookout point/house and pulled off to the side of the road to unload what seemed like 10 or 20 kids. They organized and dispersed as quickly as a group of sugar-crazed and costumed children are able to do under the direction of an over worked and exhausted set of adults.
They came to our house twice, assuming we wouldn't notice perhaps because they were in disguise. With each visit, they held out their little bags and baskets, and some said thanks and others simply ran off once they had a few pieces of candy.
A straggler arrived after the group's second visit, close to the end of the approved trick or treating hours, a tiny child with an eerie green glow to her face. She wore a mop on her head, dyed the same color, covered with cotton cobwebs. It was an elaborate but low-cost costume that was hard to forget. She was accompanied by her mother, a woman in a black hoodie with a huge purse on her shoulder.
"You can pick what you want," the Candygiver leaned down and offered the dish of treats to the little girl.
Her brown eyes shone in the night, catching the porch light and reflecting it back like two cosmic stars. She reached into the dish with a pudgy green hand and grabbed a packet of Runts and Gobstoppers.
The man nodded in encouragement, the green creature smiled up at him for a brief second of human connection. She glowed a brighter green, invigorated by the praise and strengthened with his kindness.
The woman glared at the man with butterfly wings for eyelashes that made their own wind with each flutter. The little girl dropped the hard candies and stepped back; she stared at the Candyman in anger at his betrayal. She wasn't sure what a choking hazard was but her mama's tone told her all she needed to know. Candyman was a bad man.
"Shame on you," the woman said as she reached into the candy dish extracting no fewer than five bite sized Milky Way candy bars with orange and black striped artificial nails.
She shook her head in disappointment as she dropped the candy into her daughter's bucket and went back for another handful of candy. This time, she included the dangerous Runts and feared Gobstoppers in her claw and dropped this loot into her purse. Grabbing her daughter's hand, she marched down the steps and sashayed into the darkness of the night.
Until next year. Farewell and good luck, little green monster.
"Why don't you just go to the doctor?" my husband asks after hearing my chest crack and pop.
"It's complicated," I moan in pain.
Maybe he doesn't know about the extent of my white coat syndrome and that merely making an appointment makes my heart race and my palms get sweaty. Or that as a kid, I never went to the doctor outside of ingesting a battery or being covered with purple lesions. And if we did go, it always resulted in the occurrence of something uncomfortable or more painful than the original issue.
As an adult, there is little difference except that now the pain comes from the initial cost of the copay and then later the portion of the bill not covered through insurance.
Trickery and crooks! I scream in my mind, and then passively settle on a monthly payment of six months to pay off the balance. It's easier than taking a stand and getting sent to collections. The bitter sting of that bill is still on my mind as I refuse to get the cracking and popping evaluated, not just yet anyway.
Let's follow the journey of Papa Puney who decided not to wait until there were no other options and his proactive approach to his healthcare.
Papa Puney is fit man in his fifties; he sits in a hard plastic chair at the doctor's office, off to the side and away from the sick people. There are stacks of germ covered magazines next to a pump bottle of hand sanitizer. It's a nice gesture but too little too late for most.
He calmly waits and peruses through emails and Facebook on his phone. He has been working to lower his blood pressure through diet, exercise and limiting his views on the Donald's latest tweets. He moves his upper lip unconsciously and the mustache above it bristles out, not unlike a well groomed porcupine, as he flips through the online posts.
A young woman with dry, dyed black hair pops her head out of the door next to the receptionist's desk.
She holds the door open with shiny, red nails. The man looks up in acknowledgement of his name.
Opening the door wider, she waits for the proactive patient to follow her down a tile hallway that smells of antiseptic cleaner.
The woman chews gum as she leads the man into his own room. PP feels a seed of irritation begin to grow with each snap and pop of the gum.
"Sit right here and the nurse practitioner will be right in," she gestured with her hand to another hard backed chair.
"Oh, he is too busy to see you today. The NP will be right in," the woman explains cheerfully and leaves before PP can say anything else.
PP waits and feels his heart rate increasing and the blood pulsing through his veins. PP waits and waits, keeping busy by cruising the internet until he reaches the end of the interwebs and still he waits.
Finally, the door opens and a chubby blonde woman in her early thirties with purple Crocs enters the room.
He feels a pounding in his head as his blood pressure rises like a tribal drum urging him on to stand and leave. No, this is not going to work. There are other ways to lower blood pressure. PP excuses himself from the clinic and takes a trip to Burger King to reassess his health goals and the price of proactivity.
Hospice, it's a real conversation killer.
So death, what a bummer, amiright?
The couple, Jack and Jill, rode in silence with the occasional interjection about the weather and the Grammy's. When they arrived, it was a relief to leave the car. They stepped out of their temporary vacuum world onto a freshly sealed, asphalt parking lot.
"This is nice," Jill said with a grimace against the cold.
She pulled her coat together with one hand and held a bouquet of wilted flowers in the other. At the top of the inclined parking lot was a light grey stone, two-story building with clean, white trim around the windows. Along the edges of the building dry, brown, stick bushes waited for Spring to come alive with bright and vibrant colors, unlike the occupants of the building, grey and prostate, watching the world turn from their beds.
Jack studied it for a second, pushed the red button and waited; he was very good at following directions. The door clicked after a few seconds and was opened by an unseen hand.
"After you," Jack said gesturing for Jill to walk in front of him.
Jack was also known for his good manners and gentle nature. Once inside, they met with another obstacle, Doris. Doris sat at a table in the foyer, posing as a receptionist, bouncer, and tour guide, depending on the day.
"Bev DeMonn?" Doris cut him off eagerly as though to say yes, we know the same people, isn't that a coincidence.
Doris was a small woman with short hair done up in that old-lady-way requiring weekly visits to the beauty shop for a wash and style. She nervously adjusted her glasses on her face and shuffled a stack of papers on her desk.
Jack stood tall and looked Doris in the eyes. He shook his head in confirmation and gave a warm smile.
Jack and Jill followed Doris's shuffling steps as she led them down a hallway and through an open sitting area. There was a fireplace pumping out dry heat, warming two empty arm chairs and an empty couch. The place was strangely quiet and still for such a large facility.
"That must explain all of the locks, everyone wandered out," Jill snickered.
"Not funny," Jack hissed without looking at his companion.
Suddenly, the lights grew brighter as they stepped into a cafeteria. The kitchen area was against the far wall. The rest of the area was taken up by empty tables and chairs.
A shriveled up human, presumably a female from the fuzzy pink sweater with shoulder pads that she wore, sat alone at a table. In front of her, there was a small dish with a half-melted, purple Popsicle. A wooden stick leaned out over the edge, like a riderless teeter-totter. With a weak shove, the woman pushed the dish to the side and folded her bluish hands on the table.
"Bev, you have company," Doris announced and readjusted her glasses.
Bev looked straight ahead, her eyes a bleary blue with pupils drawn into pinpoints.
Perhaps he was as unrecognizable to her as she was to him; her once black hair was now gray, her face shrunken in without dentures to support a shape, and her body was half of its previous size.
A dehydrated apricot, apple, plum? Jack tried to match up the fruit with the woman without any luck.
Doris reached into the pocket of her sweater and pulled out a letter, postmarked and stamped from Florida. Bev turned to Doris, reached out with a claw like hand and grabbed the letter without a word. She sliced it open with the long nail on her index finger and extracted the contents.
Slowly, she read each word of the epistle, feasting her eyes as she refused to allow her body. Jack pulled out a chair and sat next to his grandmother while Jill selected a seat across the table from the two.
On Bev read and still she refused to acknowledge her company.
"How are you, Grandma Beverly? We heard you were sick and brought you these flowers," Jill spoke loudly.
For the first time, Bev looked up at Jill.
"Hmmm…too bad," Bev exclaimed and returned to her letter.
Dying was not about to change her mind about these unsaved heathens. It was simply too late to do anything about it. So Jack and Jill went back down the hill, got into their car and drove away with a sad promise not to return until another much, much later day.
After a minor disagreement, my only coworker, Earl, stopped talking to me. I thought he was in a meditative state, reflective and quiet. Perhaps he was dealing with a health issue or his aunt died seven years ago on this date and he was remembering the cinnamon apple muffins she used to make.
Then I asked him a question about office supplies and he ignored me. I asked him another question about the mail and he still ignored me.
Ah-ha, he isn't wearing his hearing aid, I assumed. No need to make a mountain out of a molehill. He simply cannot hear me.
I walked by his desk to drop off an extra pack of staples as a good-will gesture and he spun his office chair away from me towards the wall. He pretended to study the blank calendar. From his new position, it was clear that his hearing aids were both firmly in place. Suddenly, I realized what was happening.
This was the silent treatment.
I thought the mostly unwarranted punishment would end by noon. Much to my surprise, it did not. In fact, it grew worse as he refused to eat lunch with me. I ate my peanut butter and jelly sandwich alone, remorseful of whatever thing we argued about earlier in the day. The silence of the office was deafening until he started watching videos of old stand-up comedians, starting with Richard Pryor.
As I struggled with the peanut butter sealing my tongue to the roof of my mouth, I flashed back to grade school. I sat alone with a PB&J at the end of a long white table, unfolded from the cafeteria/gym wall with a bunch of confident, athletic, and well-adjusted kids. In retrospect, I see that they were actually mutants and I was the normal one.
I wished for a carton of cold chocolate milk to wash down the pangs of childhood loneliness but more so for the all- natural peanut butter as it clung to my throat.
It was only at the end of day that the ice melted and Earl began to communicate again. I breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a passing phase. We were both in the parking lot and Earl raised his hand to wave as I got into my car. I waved back, humming Hakuna Matata, when I realized he was waving to the police officer who had pulled up next to my car, likely investigating a 911 call in the immediate area.
Too bad throwing shade isn't considered a crime.
I drove off a little sadder and certain that life is too short for a grudge, even if the grudge is only for a day.
The man who stood in front of me was ecstatic. He wore his usual flannel pajama pants and dirty collared shirt, turned inside out.
"This is for a car dealership and you can't drive," I said.
I looked over the flyer more closely; it was addressed to Preferred Customer or Current Resident. The prize could only be claimed during the "event" described as a HUGE VEHICLE SELL-OFF in all capital letters. The prize winnings were to go towards the purchase of a vehicle which would be a problem since he didn't have any money for the purchase of bread and milk, let alone a vehicle, and again, he couldn't drive.
This was beyond smelling fishy.
"You gave them all that information?" I asked in disbelief.
Just like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he held the ticket tightly in his fist, not about to give up his claim to something magnificent.
"Nope, I can't make it," the maintenance man flatly refused without offering a reason.
I handed the phone over to Earl with a shrug, "He won't come out and he wants you to do it," I whispered with a twinge of guilt in the pit of my stomach.
Earl is a tiny, old black man, made about ten years older due to his health. He wore the same self-assigned uniform of a black pants and a collared shirt every day, pressed and ironed, with pleats sharp enough to slice a blade of grass in half. He walked slowly with heavy, thudding steps that announced his presence before his actual arrival. Orthopedic shoes make it very difficult to sneak up on someone.
Fortunately, Earl was not a one to sneak, steal, lie or cheat. He kept a demanding moral code and held tightly to the training he received in the military, meaning that he never shirked responsibility or refused an order from a superior.
The maintenance man, on the other hand, received no formal training other than from the School of Hard Knocks and had no moral code. He had no scruples about assuming a superior position to which he had earned no right and making Earl do his work.
Without complaint or hesitation, Earl hobbled away with a strange new limp.
Something was wrong, but what, I wondered.
"Wait, let me do it," I shouted after him and raced across the room to cut him off at the door.
Earl pled with his eyes. Please, don't take this from me.
Over an hour passed before he returned, perspiring and covered with cobwebs and grease. He dropped into a chair and pulled a plain, white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. If he was in pain, it was a mystery to me.
It was a little later that I discovered the origin of the new limp and the teeny, tiny feeling of guilt exploded into that of a massive fireball and my admiration for Earl grew at the same rate.
I learned the following things about Earl.
Earl's toe was just amputated one day earlier.
The stub was wrapped in gauze and stuffed inside of his orthopedic shoe.
Earl refused all pain medications so he could come to work in spite of having lots of PTO.
Earl needs a vacation. And a new third toe. He really misses it.

It inspired an OVA sequel series called Orguss 02. Orguss was the second part of The Super Dimension trilogy from Big West, preceded by The Super Dimension Fortress Macross and followed by The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross.
Big West initially sponsored the Super Dimension series (超時空シリーズ, Chō Jikū Shiriizu, "Super Spacetime series"), composed in chronological order of the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Century Orguss, and Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross.
Orguss was originally planned to be used as the third season of Robotech in the United States, just as the two other Super Dimension series (Macross and Southern Cross) were used for the two first seasons.
The line consisted of mecha model kits imported from Japan and featured in anime titles such as The Super Dimension Fortress Macross (1982), Super Dimension Century Orguss (1983) and Fang of the Sun Dougram (1981).
It was followed by The Super Dimension Century Orguss (1983) and The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross (1984).
Discotek Media has since licensed the series for a DVD re-release in 2015.
This science fiction series followed two other series created by Studio Nue with Artland: Super Dimension Fortress Macross (1982–1983), sponsored by Big West and animated by Tatsunoko, and Super Dimension Century Orguss (1983–1984), sponsored by Big West and animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha.
They were available in dub-only format in the early 1990s on video tape from U.S. Renditions, before the majority of the company's shows (excluding Orguss) were bought up by Manga Entertainment.
The Super Dimension Century Orguss - Later licensed by ImaginAsian, now licensed by Discotek Media.
Noboru Ishiguro was a Japanese animator who was noteworthy for directing the anime series Space Battleship Yamato II, Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Century Orguss, Humanoid Monster Bem, Megazone 23, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Noozles, and the 2008 completed series Tytania.
Super Dimension Century Orguss is an anime science fiction series.
However, rights issues resulted in Harmony Gold using the Genesis Climber Mospeada anime instead.
On April 16, 2007, ImaginAsian announced that they would broadcast Super Dimension Century Orguss on ImaginAsian TV, and would thereafter give the series its first complete North American DVD release.
