At Life, Well Run we strive to showcase and celebrate the incredible work happening in local governments every day, all around the country under the direction of professional local government managers. One of the ways we do this is through highlighting Success Stories that not only share the details of a great initiative, but also of the men and women behind the scenes that make this work possible. While each story is unique in the challenges addressed, or strategies used, it's the common themes that sometimes say the most.
Recently we had the opportunity to feature a fantastic multi-pronged citizen engagement effort from the City of Goodlettsville, Tennessee. As a small community (population 16,000) straddling two large counties, Goodlettsville saw the value in creating a strong sense of place and identity. Over the course of one-year City Manager Tim Ellis, in partnership with a team of city staff, developed four distinct programs to engage their community, establish open communication channels, and create an overarching community brand.
In Decatur, Georgia we see the impact of citizen engagement to transform an economically struggling city into a national model for active living and sustainability. When faced with an uncertain future, city leaders turned to their citizens and together developed three master plans that provided guidance and continue to generate success. Citizens expressed their desire for a more walkable community; and city leaders understood the value of a downtown that was accessible and could be enjoyed by all. By seeking and responding to public feedback through strategic investments in pedestrian infrastructure the city ushered in a new era of economic growth while simultaneously improving public health.
Further west in Longmont, Colorado city leaders have taken community engagement to a new level – hosting "Bike and Learn" events for citizens to join city engineers and leaders along a seven-mile loop to learn of plans to revitalize areas affected by major flooding. Combined with monthly "coffee with the council" and the city manager, citizens were engaged throughout the restoration project. As a result citizens approved $20 million in bonds for the flood restoration and renewed a street tax for 10 years until 2026.
These are just a sampling of the stories you'll find on our interactive Success Stories map with common themes of a committed city manager and creative citizen engagement at the forefront. We know there are countless examples of these themes throughout each community and are eager to hear yours! If you have a success story you'd like to share please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com!

Most people think that if they can see 20/20, they have "normal" vision. However, there is more to vision than just reading the 20/20 line on an eye chart. We need to have good eye tracking, focusing and teaming skills in order to use our eyes efficiently throughout the day. Imagine how difficult it would be to do school work if you are seeing double vision or if your vision keeps fluctuating. Statistics show one out of four children have an undiagnosed vision problem and may be suffering from such symptoms. These children may not complain because they think what they are experiencing is normal. Unfortunately, I have seen many children misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or being labeled as "lazy", when in fact their poor attention and avoidance of school work was due to a deficiency in their visual skills.
When I ask parents when their child's last eye examination was, they often say, "Last year at the pediatrician's office," or, "Two years ago when it was done at the school." It is very important to understand the difference between being evaluated at a pediatrician's office, a school setting and an optometrist's office. A pediatrician may have you read an eye chart, whereas a school may conduct a basic vision screening. An optometrist, on the other hand, will perform a comprehensive eye and vision examination, which is the best way to detect problems other than poor vision.
Children with undiagnosed vision problems may experience any of the following symptoms:
- Eyestrain
- Headaches
- Double vision
- Fluctuating vision
- Words moving/swimming when reading
- Skipping words/lines when reading
- Poor reading comprehension
- Difficulty concentrating
- Poor attention
- Avoidance of near work
- Poor eye hand coordination
These symptoms are present in conditions such as:
- Oculomotor dysfunction (poor eye tracking)
- Accommodative dysfunction (poor eye focusing)
- Vergence dysfunction (poor eye teaming)
- Visual information processing deficiency
- Strabismus (eye turn)
- Amblyopia (decreased vision)
- Traumatic brain injury
These conditions can be successfully treated with vision therapy. Vision therapy is a customized program of vision procedures aimed at teaching an individual how to use their eyes efficiently to improve their visual skills.
Vision therapy can truly change a person's life. I have seen children who were falling behind in school, prior to vision therapy, start making straight A's. Parents have told me their children, who despised reading, will pick up a book and willingly read on their own. Children who struggled with sports, such as baseball, have proudly told me they were hitting home runs. The list of success stories goes on and on.
The earlier these conditions are detected and treated, the better opportunity we are giving children to learn at their highest potential. Many people think that vision therapy is only for children, but it is important to note that it is beneficial for adults as well. I am thrilled to make such a positive difference in my patients' lives, but it breaks my heart when I have an adult patient or a child's parent say, "Why did I not know about this sooner?"

This is day one of my Salamanca Training Camp with 75 children aged 9 – 12. Well things didn't get off to the best start when the bus we all turned up for early didn't show!
We then had to get a public bus to the school and meet the coach, OK picture the scene – 8 teachers fully laden with bags and suitcases taking up most of the public transport; it was like a day trip for gypsies.
Anyway we finally met the coach and then had a 200km trip to Salamanca. The trip was long but kept busy with the hundreds of questions kids ask from "where are you from" to "how many tattoos do you have". They are really perceptive and their grasp of English was better than expected. So I looked forward even more to the camp. Rather than teaching on this one I was going as a 'monitor' to ensure the children behave and are entertained, that at least I can do.
First lessons start and I survey my surroundings – OK first we are in a prestigious golf course, nice facilities; sauna, jacuzzi, driving range, squash court, tennis court, basketball, swimming pool etc you get the picture it's the business, oh and by the way the weather is beautiful. When the lessons finished for the afternoon the games began; my bit. We started with a quick throw with the Frisbee, then joined by another group so we played a capture the flag type game (Quake to computer users) only on the field giving them an object to retrieve, that went well only I was on the girls team and they have obviously never played Quake, needless to say we lost 4 – 1.
However the boys had their own dirty tactics by getting four of them to hold my legs and stop me running or even walking, but it was funny. Then just to finish off a three legged race – which in itself took only two minutes but 10 to untie the laces
Then I took them swimming and to the jacuzzi they loved it, bodies diving in the water in every angle possible and some not so, but enjoying themselves; such a small area though the noise was amplified and soon a headache was on the way.
After dinner we had some games, we got the groups into teams – allowed them to pick their own names, shout out all their energy, and tax them one last time mentally with a quick fire quiz, this went down very well I thought, and it appeared all enjoyed it; even the teachers.We finished off with each group having to make a song using the following words – Spaghetti, Helicopter and Bumble Bee, it was like the Eurovision Song Contest all over again, words that make no sense and no real tune to hum to, but they loved the chance to perform.
Looking forward to tomorrow where we do it all over again, but different, that is if we all get through tonight.

Malcolm Jenkins, two Eagles teammates raise fists in protest during anthem
CHICAGO — Malcolm Jenkins and two other Philadelphia Eagles raised their right fists during the national anthem before Monday Night Football, the latest athletes to join in Colin Kaepernick's protest of racial inequality and police brutality.
Standing at midfield, Jenkins was flanked by defensive end Steven Means and cornerback Ron Brooks. As Jim Cornelison, famed in Chicago for his rendition of the anthem before Blackhawks games, began to sing, the three raised their fists. No other Eagles joined them, nor did any Bears visibly demonstrate on the other side of the field.
Jenkins had made no secret of his plans, saying last week that he and other Eagles wanted to further the national conversation sparked by Kaepernick. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback first sat and now kneels during the anthem to draw attention to police violence against minorities and other issues of inequality, and has been joined by several other NFL players.
"There's just a lot of things systematically that have been set up in this country since its inception that really … put minorities, especially African Americans, at a disadvantage when you talk about quality of life and actually growing in this country," Jenkins said Friday on WIP-FM in Philadelphia. "So we want to continue to keep that conversation going, push it to as many people as we can, obviously while also doing our part in bringing forth change."
Jenkins said the Eagles had talked about protesting during the season opener, but decided against it because they didn't want to take away attention from the 15th anniversary of 9/11.

Bad Girls (Donna Summer song)
|"Bad Girls"
Artwork for French release
|Single by Donna Summer
|from the album Bad Girls
|"On My Honor"
|June 23, 1979
|Donna Summer singles chronology
"Bad Girls" is a song by American singer Donna Summer from her 1979 seventh studio album of the same name, released as the second single from the Bad Girls album on June 23, 1979, through Casablanca Records. The song was produced by Summer's regular collaborators Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and co-written by Summer and the Brooklyn Dreams.
"Bad Girls" became a worldwide success, peaking within the top-ten in seven countries, including Spain and New Zealand. In the United States, it spent five weeks at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100, from the weeks of July 14, 1979 to August 11, 1979; and sold over two million copies, simultaneously becoming, alongside "Hot Stuff", her most successful single. The single, which was the second-biggest song of 1979, also helped the Bad Girls album to reach the multi-platinum status in the US. Summer placed three songs in the Top 12 of the Billboard 1979 year-end charts.
The inspiration for Summer to write the song came after one of her assistants was offended by a police officer who thought she was a street prostitute. A rough version of the song had originally been written a couple of years before its release. Casablanca Records' founder Neil Bogart, upon hearing it, wanted Summer to give it to Cher for her upcoming album.[1] Summer refused and put it away for a couple of years.
A 12" version of the song was released as a medley with "Hot Stuff". Although "Hot Stuff" was extended for the 12" version, "Bad Girls" remained in the four minutes, fifty-five seconds album version. A demo version of the song was released on the "deluxe edition" of Bad Girls.
Awards and Nominations[edit]
The song was nominated and won the award for "Favourite Pop/Rock Single" and "Favourite Pop/Rock Female Artist" at the American Music Awards in 1980. Summer was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 22nd Annual Grammy Awards in 1980.

Ans. 5f$- days.
259. A Decimal Fraction is a fraction whose denominator is some power often.
It, therefore, originates from dividing a unit, first into 10 equal parts, and then each of these parts into 10 other equal parts, and so on indefinitely, so that its fractional units are tenths, hundredths, thousandths, or some like order of parts.
260. Decimal fractions, their denominators being obvious, are commonly expressed by writing the numerator only, with the decimal point (.) before it, care being taken to put a cipher in any decimal place not requiring a digit; thus,
,-fij may be written .9 and be read 9 tenths.
".13 " 13 hundredths.
".005 " 5 thousandths.
".0105 " 105 ten-thousandths.
261. By examining the foregoing fractions, it will be seen that, —
1. The denominator of a decimal fraction is 1 with as many ciphers annexed as the numerator has places of figures.
2. In writing a decimal fraction without its denominator, every decimal place not having a significant figure must be filled by a cipher.
3. The first ^figure or place of a decimal fraction on the right of the decimal point is tenths; the second, hundredths; the third, thousandths; the fourth, ten-thousandths; fyc.
4. Each figure in the expression of decimal fractions, as in whole numbers, represents value, according to its distance from the place of units.
262. A whole number and a decimal fraction, in a single
expression, constitute a mixed number. Thus, 17.63 is a
mixed number, and is read seventeen, and decimal sixty-three
hundredths; 150.302, read one hundred and fifty, and decimal
three hundred and two thousandths.
Note. — For the sake of brevity, especially in reading mixed numbers, as in the instance just given, a decimal fraction is commonly called simply a decimal.
263i If ciphers are placed on the left of decimal figures, between them and the decimal point, those figures change their places, each cipher removing them one place to the right, and thus diminishing the value represented tenfold. Thus, .9 = T90, but .09 = and .009 = Ti&".
261. If ciphers are placed on the right of decimal figures, or are taken away, since their places remain the same, the value represented is not changed. Thus, .7 = -fa, and .70 = Tvct = T7?! = ,'•
265. By regarding the dollar as a unit, we may consider cents and mills of United States money as fractional parts of a decimal character. Thus, 3 dollars and 25 cents, is 3 dollars and 25 hundredths of a dollar, or $3.25; also, 10 dollars 12 cents and 5 mills, is 10 dollars and 125 thousandths of a dollar, or $ 10.125.
266. The relation of decimals to whole numbers and to each other, and also the names of their different orders and places, are shown by the following
II ill
Of the mixed number expressed in the table, the part on the left of the decimal point is the whole number, and that on the right the decimal. The decimal part is numerated from the left to the right, and the value represented is expressed in words thus: Two hundred thirty-four million five hundred sixty-seven thousand eight hundred ninety-two billionths. And the mixed number thus: Seven million six hundred fifty-four thousand three hundred twenty-one, and decimal two hundred thirty-four million five hundred sixty-seven thousand eight hundred ninety-two billionths.
267. From the table we deduce the following rules:
1. Read a decimal as though it were a whole number, adding the name of the right-hand order.
2. Write a decimal as though it were a whole number, supplying with ciphers such places as have no significant figures.
Express orally, or write in words the following numbers: —
25. Three hundred twenty-five, and seven tenths.
26. Four hundred sixty-five, and fourteen hundredths.
27. Ninety-three, and seven hundredths.
28. Twenty-four, and nine millionths.
29. Two hundred twenty-one, and nine hundred-thousandths.
30. Forty-nine thousand, and forty-nine thousandths.
31. Seventy-nine million two thousand, and one hundred five thousandths.
32. Sixty-nine thousand fifteen, and fifteen hundred-thousandths.
33. Eighty thousand, and eighty-three ten-thousandths.
34. Nine billion nineteen thousand nineteen, and nineteen hundredths.
35. Twenty-seven, and nine hundred twenty-seven thousandths.
36. Forty-nine trillion, and one trillionth.
37. Twenty-one, and one ten-thousandth.
38. Eighty-seven thousand, and eighty-seven millionths.
39. Ninety-nine thousand ninety-nine, and nine thousand nine billionths.
40. Seventeen, and one hundred seventeen ten-thousandths.
41. Thirty-three, and thirty-three hundredths.
42. Forty-seven thousand, and twenty-nine ten-millionths.
43. Fifteen, and four thousand seven hundred-thousandths.
44. Eleven thousand, and eleven hundredths.
45. Seventeen, and eighty-one quadrillionths.
46. Nine, and fifty-seven trillionths.
47. Sixty-nine thousand, and three hundred forty-nine thou, sandths.
268. Decimals, since they increase from right to left, and decrease from left to right, by the scale of ten, as do simple whole numbers, may be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided in the same manner.
269. Ex. 1. Add together 23.61, 161.5, 2.6789, and 61.111. Ans. 248.8999.
We write the numbers so that figures of the same decimal place shall stand in the same column, and then, beginning at the right hand, add them as whole numbers are added, and place the decimal point in the result directly under those above.
Rule. — Write the numbers so that figures of the same decimal place shall stand in the same column.
Add as in whole numbers, and point off in the sum, from the right hand, as many places for decimals as equal the greatest number of decimal places in any of the numbers added.

With the recent Greek referendum on the bailout package yielding a pretty resounding "no" to further austerity, the Greek-Eurozone crisis is set to move into a new and unprecedented phase. No solution seems in sight to this seemingly intractable and persistent tragedy. The ways forward are all fairly unappetizing to at least one large group of voters. One approach involves some sort of continued and largely European financial support for Greece. Such a solution would represent a considerable climb-down for many European governments, who would likely suffer potentially severe domestic political costs that have just been increased by the Greek government's negotiating tactics. The other main option is for Greece to effectively declare bankruptcy and, most likely, leave the Eurozone. While it is certainly easier and safer to just sit back and watch how it unfolds rather than try to prescribe or predict a solution to this mess, I am going to instead sketch out what I think could be the outline of a way forward.
There are a few basic elements of the crisis that underpin my analysis. First, the ultimate cause of the debacle is excessive lending, primarily to the Greek government by the European financial sector. The origins of this excess are multiple, but the essence is that entering the Eurozone allowed Greece to borrow at dramatically lower interest rates (falling from well over 10 percent in the pre-Euro period to under 3 percent post-Euro and pre-crisis); not surprisingly they began borrowing a lot more. Simultaneously Euro-enthusiasm – not to mention the endless search for even a few extra basis points of yield – clouded the judgement of lender's regarding Greece's capacity to carry debt. Mixed in there, undoubtedly, has been the international financial system's chronic inability to deal intelligently and credibly with sovereign bankruptcy (the inability of a government to repay its debts) and the concomitant reliance on bailing out the banks by replacing them with financing from official bilateral (in this case read other European countries) or multilateral (the IMF) sources. So ultimately the banks ought to be bearing much of the cost of the crisis, since they did not do the due diligence required to ensure the safekeeping of their depositor's savings. They have been bailed out, however, as the political economy of crisis induces governments, with frightening regularity, to bail out the financial sector for fear of a wider collapse in the economy, and even greater fear of a widespread collapse in their votes from citizens suddenly dispossessed of their savings. Any solution to this crisis must address this fundamental failure of domestic politics and the international financial system.
Second, the Greeks themselves certainly bear a significant amount of the blame for this mess. Many of their fellow Europeans would put a lot of emphasis on the fact that Greek voters elected in serial fashion governments that were, at best, fairly imprecise on matters of financial reporting and management. The apparent cooking of the government's books went some way in misleading lenders. And, while understandable, there seemed to be little appetite on the part of Greek voters to question in any serious manner why many of their social services were provided at levels beyond their EU counterparts, but without an equivalent tax effort. This collective Panglossian indulgence facilitated a social pyramid scheme that now seems to have reached its painful but inevitable end. Consequently it is not unreasonable to place a significant component of the blame for the crisis on the Greeks themselves, a perspective being taken in many of the coffee shops and governments of most other European countries, and particularly or most significantly in Germany.
The third element, however, is that Greeks have already shouldered an enormous burden of adjustment through the course of successive bailout packages. The extent of the fiscal shock has been almost unprecedented. Two points are worth noting. First, we are well beyond the point where further austerity can improve the creditworthiness of Greece, since the numerator of the debt-to-GDP ratio is falling more slowly than the denominator. The simple fact, as the IMF itself has recognized, is that Greece is effectively insolvent and there needs to be debt relief. We have already seen this stage play, part farce and part tragedy, through successive rounds of developing country debt restructuring and debt relief. The lessons from these earlier episodes seemed clear enough: debt must be reduced to create incentives and free up resources for new investment and growth, and to hopefully ease hardships for the poorest. While Greece's rich-country status and EU membership has obscured this lesson, it nonetheless is equally relevant here, just as the basic principle of debt write-downs is widely accepted in bankruptcy law for the private sector within a national jurisdiction. And just as is the case in corporate bankruptcy, the process of debt relief must also be accompanied by often painful adjustment (traditionally formalized in IMF "conditionality") as well as losses for investors (the proverbial "haircut").
The irreconcilable element of this puzzle is that many Europeans do not want to let Greece of the hook partly because of their culpability in the whole affair, but also for fear of setting precedents that induce irresponsible behavior by other member states in the future. Not accepting a debt write down, or at least a meaningful easing of the debt burden for the foreseeable future, however, is a recipe for more needless economic pain. The current impasse has already contributed to a damaging liquidity crisis that only threatens to get worse. Wishing to punish the Greek population, while understandable at an emotional level, has nothing to do with economic efficiency. Greece has already endured a 25 percent decline in economic activity; how much more suffering is necessary?
Economics suggests that debt relief is indeed necessary. The Europeans should offer it with grace, since the alternative is to accept it anyway along with a healthy dose of justifiable Greek anger and serious concerns about the viability of the European project. Their more serious concern is the implications for the future. We have to accept that failure in the financial system has occurred, but just because the Greek (or Trojan?) horse may have bolted from the Eurobarn doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't try and shut the door on future crises, the only sensible policy when there are other horses inside. The following sketch is a suggestion of the broad elements of how to achieve such closure.
First, the Europeans should look for better tools to impose strict limits on debt sustainability measures for member states. Such limits are already part of the Fiscal Compact (known more formally as the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union), which replaced the earlier Stability and Growth Pact. The compact is enforced through fines on governments for exceeding prescribed limits on debts and deficits. The Stability and Growth Pact, however, failed miserably, in large part because of breaches in it by the French and German governments, and because it is not very sensible to ask near-bankrupt countries in crisis to pay fines. The enforcement mechanism needs to be reinforced by placing greater onus on the private financial system and financial regulators. Banks collectively should not be allowed to hold a European country's debt beyond a predetermined limit of that country's carrying capacity. In addition, the total exposure of these institutions to government debts should be strictly monitored and limited to protect their depositors. Since private lenders will undoubtedly find loopholes around this limit, debt holdings consistent with the rules would need to be registered with financial supervisors and cross-referenced with the borrowing reports of the governments themselves. These registered debts would then be covered by a preferably explicit insurance scheme in case of a default. There will be complaints that such a system will induce moral hazard by backstopping the lending decisions of the financial market, but the sad fact is that this moral hazard already exists due to the presence of de facto implicit insurance that is well-recognized by borrowers and lenders. If insurance is to be provided, it is better to do so transparently, within a rules-bound system, and with the possibility of charging premiums in some form. Other lenders, those not taking private deposits, could take the risk of lending above the limit, but they would also bear the consequences. While these limits would have to have some technical complexity to deal with changes in debt maturity (which would threaten the seniority of previously issued legitimate debt of longer maturity), the principles of such rules are pretty straightforward. Europe's financial regulators need to be given the responsibility of formulating and enforcing these rules, hopefully insulating the process from political interference.
The second element of the program would have to make debt flows much more transparent. The pre-crisis misinformation about the Greek government's financial situation needs to be avoided in order to enforce such regulations. Common standards and a European statistical framework needs to support these regulations (just as they are needed for the current rules to be enforced with any hope of success) and the numbers need to be made completely public in a transparent and timely fashion.
With a credible framework to minimize and hopefully avoid future problems of misbehavior on the part of governments, and more importantly on the part of financial institutions, the Europeans can perhaps take the politically difficult but economically necessary step of providing or promising some form of debt relief for the Greeks. The relief can be contingent on future economic performance, with some allowance for improved economic circumstances leading to additional (but necessarily modest) repayments (a little bit of ambiguity on the details might go a long way in allowing both sides to claim some sort of victory). Greece still needs to undergo adjustment, but these conditions need to focus mostly on longer term productivity and public finance reform, less on the short-term austerity that Greece has already endured. Hopefully this option can be adopted and facilitate Greece's continuation in the Euro, but dealing with the failures of the financial system is equally relevant under Grexit.
Many economists have long observed that solving this crisis means walking a fine line between having just the right amount of adjustment that is enough to credibly lead to a stable medium and long term debt outlook, but not so much that it induces further recession. Walking this tightrope was never going to be easy and the Greek crisis illustrates just how tough it is. After tough negotiations and political grandstanding the two sides have painted themselves into seemingly incompatible corners defined by political absolutes. The only apparent solution is to provide relief for the short-term pain being suffered collectively by the Greek population, while assuaging the legitimate concerns about the future that are held by many of their European partners. Europe has a unique opportunity to take some positive steps towards dealing with the problem of sovereign debt and bankruptcy, ones that might ultimately help construct a more effective global system.

The most anticipated movie of the year, the Power of 1 Movie which stars Nollywood favourites Alex Ekubo, Annie Idibia, Ramsey Noah, and several others, premiered yesterday December 5, 2018.
The celebrity-studded premiere held at the Silverbird Galleria, Victoria Island, Lagos with amazing social-icon-inspired-costumes on the red carpet.
The movie which was earlier scheduled to hit the cinemas on the 7th of December 2018, has been rescheduled to a later date this December, due to technical issues with the final cinema copy. Buckwyld Media, the producers of the movie made the announcement, and also stated that the movie will be available in cinemas all around the country.
The movie is loosely based on real-life occurrences that have massive social and political impact. It tells a story, and preaches a message totally worth seeing.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama talks Peace through Compassion
April 27, 2009
Tibet Custom (UK)
April 26 2009
Dharamshala -- His Holiness the Dalai Lama told a
standing room only crowd of some 7,000 at UC
Berkeley's Greek Theatre on Saturday that peace
and nuclear disarmament can be accomplished if
only the world's leaders could talk to one
another in a compassionate and understanding way.
"We must promote dialogue with full respect and
consideration of others' interests," said the
world's best known Buddhist as he sat
cross-legged in a maroon robe on a cushy chair
placed atop a platform covered by a rug, presumably Tibetan.
"We should have a very clear vision that the
whole world will demilitarize," he said, near the
end of his speech, which lasted close to an hour.
"There should be some restrictions on selling arms."
It was the third time His Holiness the Dalai Lama
has spoken at the campus. The last time was a decade ago.
The three words resonated loudly through the
Greek Theatre as Tibet's spiritual leader addressed thousand.
"Young, bright generation& You are the real
people, who really belong to this century," said
the Dalai Lama. "You are the source of hope."

A woman who was sexually assaulted by a psychiatrist at the QE2 Hospital in WGC has accused her tormentor of trying to manipulate her mind.
Welwyn Hatfield Times
Sex assault doctor 'was trying to manipulate my mind' says victim
March 25, 2013
By David Burke
Shamed Dr Harmadan Singh was spared jail by a judge, but told he was unlikely to ever practice again.
Jurors heard the 67-year-old had touched the patient in a sexual way during a consultation, and had made her undress.
The assault was branded a "breach of trust" which caused the 30-year-old woman anxiety and distress – worsening the conditions Dr Singh was supposed to be treating her for.
After the guilty verdict, the woman – who cannot be named for legal reasons – told the WHT: "The ultimate thing I felt was embarrassment of allowing someone to do that to me.
"I just feel like he manipulated the situation, he was trying to manipulate my mind."
During two consultations in 2011, Singh had twice asked her to remove her trousers, claiming he was checking for a hormone imbalance.
On the second occasion, he fondled her between her legs, and was clearly aroused.
The patient, who was being treated for anxiety, depression and panic attacks, said the assault had a huge impact on her.
She told the WHT: "It affects every aspect of your life, in the way you conduct relationships with people and whether you trust them.
"It affected everything, it affected me being able to give people a hug, it affected me when I was in a crowd of people.
"It took a long time to come to terms with the fact that not everyone was bad."
Despite the ordeal, the patient says she only felt anger at the psychiatrist's lies, and was glad he had been found guilty.
After the trial, which saw her testify from behind a screen, she said: "I didn't feel angry, but I was scared of going to court.
"I was just pleased that they believed me.
"It wasn't that I was so bothered about the punishment, I just wanted to make sure he couldn't do it again."
Giving evidence from behind a screen, she told the court: "The way he was touching me was sexual, not like the way a doctor does it."
But she said because he was in a position of authority, she trusted him.
She said he questioned her about her sex life, and in the weeks that followed he rang her at home six or seven times.
Judge John Plumstead said the disgraced doctor is unlikely to practice again.
He sentenced Singh, who lives in Stevenage Road, Hitchin, to 18 months in jail, but suspended it for two years.
Judge Plumstead told him that a condition of the suspended sentence Singh is banned from working as a psychiatrist or counsellor without a chaperone being present.
He was also told he must pay his victim £1,500, as well as the prosecution's costs of £3,500 and his name will go on the sex offenders register for the next five years.
Giving evidence Singh, who qualified as a doctor in India in 1971, said he thought she might have a hormone imbalance, and said that too much testosterone in a person's system could promote hair growth.
The doctor said he explained to her the differences between male and female pubic hair and male hormones could affect her pubic hair.
He said because of that he asked to see it so he could briefly check its texture.
Singh said he carried out an intimate inspection solely on medical grounds.
He said he now accepted that a chaperone should have been present and the best way to check for a hormone imbalance would have been by a blood test.

Join me at the Bamboozled IPA Pre-Game 5K
The Bamboozled IPA Pre-Game 5K was conceived by a group of friends who share a love of running, beer and football, while sitting around the taproom at Barrel House Z sampling the Bamboozled IPA in November, 2017. The idea was to create a race on the morning of The Superbowl to fill the void during the long wait for the game to begin. Thus the Pre-Game 5K, the only race held on the South Shore on Superbowl Sunday, was born. There was no turning back once they toasted to it and were committed to getting it done. The lesson learned is never to make serious commitments while drinking good beer.
The fast and friendly 5K course was designed by Fitz and Michelle of New England Runner Magazine. Because it's a new course, the group decided to limit registration to 300 entrants in the first year. It begins and finishes directly in front of Barrel House Z, which was a serious consideration in order to provide warmth to the runners before and after the race. They are also planning to install outdoor heaters and a firepit near the start line. The registration fee was minimized so that it's one of the lowest priced races in the area. On-line registration will close on Friday, Feb 2nd at midnight and there will be no late registration. Packet pickup will be available on Feb 3rd at Marathon Sports in Norwell from 11-2 and at Barrel House Z from 3-6.
Following the race, participants and volunteers will retire to the taproom for an awards ceremony featuring custom BHZ tap handles to the winners, Marathon Sports gift certificates to overall and age group winners and a Craft Beer Cellar gift card to the runner wearing the best football themed costume. The post race celebration will feature a free Bamboozled IPA from BHZ and a soft shell pulled pork taco from The Sarcastic Swine for all participants. They'll also be offering a full beer selection of beer and BBQ to enjoy at the celebration or to carry out for the game.
So, get out and run and have some fun at the Bamboozled IPA Pre-Game 5K. For information go to: www.pre-game5k.com
See you at the starting line!
Mayflower Brewing Summer 5K
It was a back-to-back race weekend this past weekend with the HussDog Jog 5K on Saturday followed by the Mayflower Brewing Summer 5K on Sunday morning.
The Mayflower Brewing Summer 5K is hosted by Mayflower Brewing in Plymouth, Massachusetts and takes place on the roads of an office/industrial park making it for a rather traffic-free 5K course. The race starts and finishes on the road in front of Mayflower Brewing and kicked off at 9:30 AM.
I have run the 5K course for other races and there is a humdinger of a hill on the course that makes for some intense climbing. In addition to this hill, the overall course seems to have a rather uphill feel to it which makes it a quite challenging 5K route. The major hill comes around the one mile mark and is out in the open without any shade so the warm temperatures coupled with the climbing certainly made for a good challenge.
The course had volunteers manning two water stops along the route, one of which could be hit twice on the out-and-back course. The Plymouth Police Department did an excellent job patrolling the course and directing the limited amount of traffic on the roads of the course. Race organizers could have had water available at the finish line, particularly given the heat, as runners had to walk about 100 yards or so to the brewery to get a bottle of water.
After finishing the race, runners were invited to a free offering from Mayflower Brewing and their beer was quite well received by runners looking to cool off with a solid craft offering! Additional beers were available for purchase and a food truck was available if runners wanted to purchase food.
I finished the Mayflower Brewing Summer 5K with a time of 25:39, good for 8:15/miles. This has been my first back-to-back race weekend in a little while and it felt good to push the legs a bit more, particularly on a hilly and hot course.
Winter Classic in Cambridge
This morning it was off to Cambridge, Massachusetts for the Winter Classic Road Race. The race is part of the Cambridge Classic series which offers a package of races throughout the year taking runners through Cambridge followed by a significant post-race party complete with fresh and free beer from Jack's Abby Brewery.
I've taken part in several of the Cambridge Classic road races and the course is quite crowded with runners and the course is never going to be one that you are going to PR on just given the sheer volume of people tackling the race course. The race course today, unfortunately, was extended from the normal 5K course to a 3.45 mile course due to the Cambridge Police Auxiliary cruiser leading the way making a wrong turn in the first mile of the race.
Huge kudos to the race director for immediately having an email blasted out to all race participants admitting to the error and apologizing for the error. Having run the course before, it was apparent where things went wrong so having the RD step up and take ownership of the issue was smart.
I completed the Cambridge Winter Classic 3.45 mile race with a time of 27:27, good for 7:57/miles. That extra .35 miles made the Hoponius Union from Jack's Abby taste all that much better!
Fort Taber 5K
Last night was a beautiful summer night and it was down to New Bedford, Massachusetts for the Fort Taber 5K. This race was co-directed by Charlie Breagy and two-time Boston Marathon winner Geoff Smith and took place right along the gorgeous New Bedford coastline alongside the Atlantic Ocean.
The race started at 6:30 PM as the sun was a little lower in the summer sky and the race time temps were just shy of 80 degrees. The race started off through some residential beach neighborhoods and some nice crowds of locals cheered runners on in the early part of the course. After running past the first mile marker, runners then made an about face and headed toward a bike path alongside the ocean. The salt water air was in full effect as we hit the second mile marker. The last mile of the run was past historic Fort Taber which added a nice, New England running element to the race. I had previously competed in another run at Fort Taber but this course was much better and allowed runners to gain a much better perspective of the fort's importance situated right on the Atlantic.
After the race, runners were invited to The Pour Farm in downtown New Bedford for a free pint of Buzzards Bay Brewing's IPA which hit the spot after the hot evening run. After we had our pint, we crossed the street to the dynamite Mexican restaurant No Problemo for a killer burrito, chips, salsa and guacamole: all key ways to refuel in my book!
I finished the Fort Taber 5K with a time of 24:23, good for a pace of 7:51/mile. As this was the first running of this race, my hunch is that based upon the early success of this race the race will only continue to grow and I look forward to next year's run.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The Mississippi Commission of Environmental Quality has fined Columbus steel mill Severstal $135,000 because the company's pollution control monitors didn't function properly after the plant expanded in June 2011.
Chris Wells, a lawyer for the state Department of Environmental Quality, says Severstal agreed to install a continuous emissions monitoring system when it made a $550 million plant expansion, adding a second steel-melting furnace. Wells says Severstal later told regulators its system couldn't work inside its emissions-handling system before pollutants were filtered. The plant lacks traditional smokestacks, making monitoring challenging beyond filters.
Wells says Severstal has been conducting traditional emissions tests during the dispute. Some tests have showed Severstal exceeding emission limits.
Severstal has submitted a report outlining its plans to fix the problems by a state-ordered deadline of Dec. 31.

It's been a long night for the 66 players that have managed to hang on to their seats throughout 14 levels of play tonight. They will join the 65 players who have already qualified for Day 2 in yesterday's Day 1A.
It was a grueling evening of unforgiving and aggressive poker. The players meant business and were hungry to bag as many chips as possible for what promises to be a huge turnout for this first tournament of the MILLIONS North America Event.
When the clock stopped and all was said and done, the boards were showing an average stack of 95K. This makes chip leader Yirui Zhang's 311,000 stack a pretty impressive achievement. Zhang is also the only player to have bagged more than 300,000 chips tonight. Behind Yirui, there are three players above the 200K mark: Scott David Hite (288,000), Rasvan Rimniceanu (233,000) and Michael Khan (216,000). Nghi Van Tran, who was among the chip leaders all night, bagged a respectable 157,500 chips.
Players have two more chances to fire bullets in Day 1 flights for this event, both of which are tomorrow:
- Day 1C (Turbo): Wednesday May 15th, at 12:00pm
- Day 1D: Wednesday May 15th, at 7:00pm
Day 2 gets underway this Thursday, May 16th at 7:00pm for 10 levels. Day 3 is on Friday May 17th, at 7:00pm.
A combined list of all qualified players for Day 2 of the Playground 200 can be found here.

Art Coviello, the President of RSA welcomed delegates to the RSA Conference Europe 2008 by calling for a radical approach to information security and appealed to vendors to develop intelligent adaptable solutions.
"Security practitioners need to master the risk/reward equation and adapt to the changing nature of risk or be exposed to failure." he warned.
He also said that organisations may shrink back from investment in the current economic climate but that just as experts were saying that the way out of the financial crisis is likely to be innovation then the same should be true for security.
Addressing his audience as the "best and brightest" he told them that information systems need to enable innovation and not inhibit it. According to IDC, security is likely to reach 5% of overall IT spend in 2009 but Coviello argued that businesses were spending "way too much" and in often the wrong direction.
"We are paying more but not feeling more secure as a result. There is too much spending on the wrong things. Security strategies have been driven and sold on fear and compliance issues with spending on perceived rather than genuine threats." he said.
Coviello also appealed to vendors to develop solutions and mechanisms that last. Reflecting on the Turing theme that the organisers have given to the conference he said they needed to develop a "kind of thinking security system".
"We need to look at the work being done on the web by Amazon and others in user behaviour data collection. Vendors need to develop behaviour and content-based solutions and technologies need to be adaptable to threats we have not yet conceived.
"The burden on the end user and the practitioners needs to be eased. Practitioners need systems that are easy to implement and maintain so that they can concentrate on policy." he said.
The RSA Conference Europe 2008 is being held at the ExCel Centre in London from 27 – 29 October.

Love when the tree gets put up 🙂
Every year my wife and u disagree about how many lights. I like more she likes less…I win. That's nearly 1000 lights, and I wanted another 200 lol.
Ever have one of those times where you look at something, and even though it is right in front of your eyes, physically, you can't believe it is real? As I looked down at my picture glaring back at me, it just didn't seem that it could be ME. Wanna guess what this picture was? Not a before picture, not really an after picture. It was a picture that my wife took in front of our fireplace, that was now printed in the Weight Watchers Weekly!
My weight watchers leader was asked if she had any members that would fit a specific article, a sort of "fake it till you make it" type piece. After speaking to me, she contacted weight watchers, and was told that they had everyone they needed. Being the awesome leader that she is, they were informed that no really wasn't the answer she was looking for. "This guy has done amazing! You have to use him somehow and in something" is more or less what she said. After hearing more about my story their interest was peaked, they contacted me and asked me to write up a piece.
That is when it happened, no one knows this, accept my wife, but I almost backed out. 750+ days of non-stop tracking, yet my weight has been out of control. I felt like a hypocrite, how could I write about doing well, when I was sliding down head first in to candy land castle? It was a tough struggle, I wrote up my bit, put my best smile on for a picture, and submitted it. I thought I felt bad before, after hitting send the real pain began. Fraud, I am a fraud, I AM A FRAUD.
I felt such an inner turmoil! On one hand, everything I wrote was true, I haven't missed tracking a meal yet. On the other hand, can I really say I am even on plan? When I have weeks where I am -250 points, does it really matter that I tracked it? ARGH! I did eventually come to peace with it though, I was NOT a fraud. I only shared what was true, and I know that if I help even ONE person, it is worth it.
That is what it was really about after all. I was looking at it wrong the entire time, it isn't about me, it is about others! Words can be a gift, that continue well beyond what they were intended. While on a bus ride from Seattle to Wisconsin, I once gave my opinion about something to a woman. I never though anything of it till about 4 years later, I received an e-mail from her! She told me that the advice I gave her changed her entire life, she married the man of her dreams, 3 kids, house, etc. all from the tiny bit of advice I gave her. As I read this back to myself I realize this whole paragraph seems very narcissistic, but that is not my intent. I know the power that words can have, for good and evil, they can be a gift or a curse. Which, will be left up to you.
Here is the snip of the part I am in. It is still an unreal feeling to see myself listed in those pages, it makes me feel very proud about my achievements(regardless of my failures).
Thank you Weight Watchers, for giving me the tools to change my life!
*I hope you enjoy this great guest blogger! When I heard about his story, I knew I had to reach out to him!
Tale of Two Family Photos
I started a journey a little over a year ago now. Back in November 2013, I found out that I am a Type 2 diabetic, my cholesterol numbers were not where they should be, my blood pressure was through the roof and my triglycerides were over 500. All of these were not new problems. I had dealt with blood pressure issues previously as well as recurrent migraines and sleep apnea.
I had another number that was plaguing me – my weight.
I weighed in at 361lbs. The family pic below shows me at my heaviest.
Things had to change. I had dieted before and actually lost close to 90lbs only to gain it all back. I decided to go off plan around the holidays and never got back on track. I felt so defeated. I felt like everyone that had congratulated me before on my weight loss was only talking about the weight gain now. I was sure of it. I would need to do things differently this time around. Besides, I had 3 of the best reasons in the world to make a change – my wife and daughters.
Because of the issue with the diabetes, I chose a low carb plan and stuck to 20 carbs or less a day in the beginning. Some people saw it as an extreme diet, something that would not be sustainable in the long term, but I knew it was something I had to do. It was going to be extreme. I was considered morbidly obese so I had to take extreme measures. I was taking a handful of pills every morning and I had two goals at this point – lose the weight and lose the pills!
I saw results quickly – in three months, I had already lost 60lbs! By this time, many people had really starting noticing, giving me compliments, and asking questions. I'd get the usual, what are you doing to lose it? Once, I explained I usually got the crazy looks of there's no way. I started getting people telling me that I had inspired them or similar sentiments. I never saw myself as being inspiring. I just saw myself as this stupid man that had made himself fat and sick and had to do something about it now.
It's now a year later and I'm down a total of 113lbs to a weight of 248lbs and I have a new family picture to show off.
In one year's time, I have cut all my numbers down to normal levels (my A1C went from 9.0 to 5.0 and my triglycerides from 530 to 74 – I'm proud of those). I've also gone from taking 4 pills for my diabetes to only one a day. I've gone from size 5x shirts, 50 waist pants to 2x shirts and 38 pants! I'm also proud of those numbers too! I can shop it the normal size clothes section again.
I get asked all the time "how did you do it" or "how can you help me". I wish I had some awesome advice or plan to give people. I found what worked for me and I made up my mind that I was going to stick to it. That was my plan. It hasn't always been easy; it hasn't always been fun, but I've stuck with it.
There was a quote that kept me pushing on:
I didn't want to wake up a year later and still be at 361lbs. I'm looking forward to where I'll be next year!
Check out more from the The UnWorthey Dad
I was called a name today, some thing that really strikes me to the core. It honestly was a name I had heard before, but had been able to always shrug off. This time however, it really got to me. How could someone call me it? Even better, WHY would they? I never understood, and I am not sure if I ever will.
The labels we use towards people are, in my opinion, hard wired into us. We LIKE to label, we like to organize, categorize, and put things where they go. We call someone a bitch, so we can put them in the bitch box, or we call someone a fat-hole, so we can label them as such. Nice neat little boxes for everyone and every thing. After all everything must have a name and everything must a have a place. The name I was called though, puts me in a category that really bothers me, even though it shouldn't.
The name I was called? I was called a "friend"! My first thought is, they know me right? They must be mistaken, I don't make friends. In fact, I am 199% sure I just annoy everyone, and they simply put up with me, hoping I will leave soon. I am talkative, opinionated, fat, and rather annoying in general. Still people keep calling me that name! Trying to label me and put me in a box.
I will impersonate a child, a boy, about 10 years of age. The setting, mid 90's in central Florida, suburban area. This child, being overly hyper often found himself in trouble during school. Due to this trouble he was placed in a separate class for other similar children. Think of it as a jail for school kids, with all the "bad" kids lumped together. In this class our character, frank, was not well liked, teased and bullied everyday. One day another boy in the class, Peter, came up to befriend frank! Despite being mocked and bullied by Peter in the past, frank accepted this friendship. Frank told himself that people change and maybe it was finally time for him to have friends.
They talked often, and soon Frank found out that Peter lived in the same sub-division! Peter invited him over one afternoon to play some video games and hang out. Frank was excited, no one ever ever ever invited him to do things! In fact one year no one even showed up for his birthday party, but that is a different story. Frank got on his bike and started off towards Peters house, but being out of shape it took him a little longer to get there. Arriving out of breath near his house, he got of his bike and started looking for the house number.
"Hey Fat Fucker!" Frank heard Peter yell. Turning towards the noise he saw a group of boys in from of a garage, laughing and pointing at him. In the center stood Peter, his hand clutched something, and soon Frank was going to find out what it was. As Peter started walking towards him, he brought up to his shoulder the item he was carrying, a lead pipe.
"Hey look, fatty showed up! Perhaps we should beat the fat out of him?"
What happened next though was not to be expected. Instead of running away, like most people would, Frank started walking towards him. "Bring it on!" he shouted. Peter was shocked and stood still. Frank had about double the weight on him, and perhaps the lead pipe didn't seem like such a good idea. Peter started backing up, Frank kept coming a bit closer.
"You want to start something? I WILL finish it, now let me leave or else!" Frank shouted with a commanding tone.
Peter and his crew decided that today wasn't a good day to "die" and all went back into the garage. Frank got back on his bike and started home. Yet before he got home he stopped by and empty playground. Dropping his bike to the ground he went and sat next to a near by tree, and cried. He realized, from that day forward, no body could REALLY be his friend. NOBODY EVER!
Thus ends the sad tale of Frank, whom in case you didn't know was really me. So when people call me friend, it is always hard for me to accept it, and I struggle when it seems that so many people actually like me. Though slowly, I will learn that they mean it, and to accept it.

But as of today, the Roku Streaming Stick+ costs £20 less: it's gone down from £79.99 to £59.99. It's about the only thing dropping in price this close to Brexit.
Hopefully you haven't just bought one. Because otherwise it's good news all round. Buy it here.

Dallas Home Prices Jump 7.1 Percent In May
Posted by Kenneth G. Cox on Saturday, July 8th, 2017 at 9:38am
In news that likely won't surprise anyone living in DFW, home prices throughout the Dallas area were once again on the rise in May, increasing by 7.1% according to the latest numbers from CoreLogic. With the spring season usually one of the busiest times of the year for the housing market, the increase certainly isn't surprising for a variety of reasons, although the 7.1% jump is still higher than the reported nationwide increase in May of just 6.6%.
But even with the steady spike in home prices, home sales in DFW are also still on the upswing despite activity likely being slowed somewhat by a lack of inventory in just about every major housing category. As of the end to May, the median home price in the Dallas-Fort Worth region is already hovering around an all-time high of more than $250,000, and it's hard to see that number not continuing to rise throughout the rest of 2017.
According to the same report from CoreLogic, median home sale prices in North Texas have already spiked by roughly 12% through the first five months of this year compared to that same timeframe in 2016, which ranks among the largest gain for any major market in the country. But as it relates to May, Dallas still didn't see the biggest year-over-year jump in median home prices overall, as Denver home prices jumped 9.2% in May, and Las Vegas home prices 7.3%.
