Understanding...*!

Joy Hibbins, a former teacher in Gloucestershire, England, became suicidal following a devastating incident and developed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Her own traumatic experience in 2012 led Hibbins to set up the Suicide Crisis charity a year later  a lifeline she says helped her also recover personally.

“Their person-centered approach and emphasis on being understanding, kind and gentle is very inspirational, yet so simple and practical. People who have used the service are in no doubt that it has helped save lives,"

More than 800,000 people commit suicide globally every year and many more attempt it, the World Health Organization reported.

Suicide was the second leading cause of death in 2012 among 15- to 29-year-olds, after accidents.
Just a thought.

San Francisco 49ers fullback Bruce Miller was reportedly arrested in one of the stranger stories you’ll hear. And it cost him his job.   Miller was arrested for assault after knocking on a hotel room door and attacking two men inside according to KTVU. The 49ers announced shortly after the news broke that they had released Miller.

According to KTVU, which cited San Francisco police sources, Miller knocked on a hotel room in Fisherman’s Wharf on Monday morning. He was told by the room’s occupant that he had the wrong room. Miller then allegedly attacked the guest, KTVU said, and also attacked his father when the father came to his son’s aid.

The father is 70 years old, KTVU said, and Miller allegedly punched him in the face. The 70-year-old man suffered broken bones after allegedly getting punched by a 248-pound NFL fullback.

Miller fled, but was apprehended and arrested, KTVU said. The ABC affiliate in San Francisco confirmed the arrest.

KTVU reported that Miller had tried to check into the hotel on Sunday night but was told it was booked. He returned Monday morning.

Miller was arrested in 2015 for suspicion of domestic violence, and later pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace, a misdemeanor. Miller had been with the 49ers since 2011

More than 7,000 New Yorkers have signed up to obtain non-smokeable marijuana preparations early this year through one of the most cautious medical marijuana programs in the nation. Now, the state is looking to expand it, with plans for home delivery and more dispensaries.

State health officials say they will also allow nurse practitioners to authorize medical cannabis, and are weighing proposals to make chronic pain a qualifying condition for medical cannabis. To make it easier for patients to find doctors, the state may post an online list of physicians who participate in the program.

Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia now have medical marijuana programs. Enrollment rates vary considerably.. Michigan has 182,000. Rhode Island, which has a population 1/20th of New York's, has nearly 12,000.

healthcare providers are stumped when drug after drug failed to curb children's violent seizures.  
For sick patients, it really works.
Many joined New York's fledgling medical marijuana program. Early great results reported. Need more info.  Just a thought.

Lost Cell?

The case began when Denise Huskins' boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, reported that kidnappers broke into the couple's Vallejo home, abducted her, and demanded an $8,500 ransom.
Quinn's lawyers have said he awoke to a bright light in his face, and two kidnappers bound and drugged him.

The 29-year-old Denise turned up safe two days later in her hometown of Huntington Beach, [200 miles plus], where she says she was dropped off. She showed up just hours before the ransom was due.

Later that day, Vallejo police said at a news conference the kidnapping was a hoax.

"The fact that we've essentially wasted all of these resources for really nothing is upsetting," said Lt. Kenny Park during an interview in March.

The case  took another bizarre twist when federal prosecutors announced they charged a soon-to-be disbarred Harvard-trained lawyer with her abduction.

Authorities say this case may have finally come together because the suspect in all of this, 38-year-old Matthew Muller, apparently left his cellphone behind at the most recent home invasion. He's now suspected in a string of violent crimes.

The FBI says Muller was charged last month after he was arrested in South Lake Tahoe in connection with a home-invasion robbery that had similarities to the kidnapping.

The couple, stood with their hands held tightly, with the  attorneys who called for the Vallejo Police Department to issue an apology.

Many thought this case is a hoax. It came to an end because of the police actions or lack thereof which emboldened the kidnapper.   Just a thought.

Is it over...?

Okay, everyone can go home now. Time to wrap this election up. The Almighty has cast his vote for president, and the forecast is grim: cloudy with a chance of Trump.

Do you see it? The sweeping wisps of hair, the angular nose, the smug mouth, the soft chin (weak!).

The undeniable likeness of presidential candidate Donald Trump was spotted in the skies over Chicago on August 15, and we humans carried on like this wasn't a sign from God himself that Donald J. Trump will certainly be the next president of the United States.

The image was originally posted by Fox 32 Chicago and then tweeted out by Trump's executive vice president, Michael Cohen (of "Says who?" fame), late Saturday night. [By Peter Wade Sep 4, 2016 ]

For some, this may be itttttt.    Just a thought.

Hillary Clinton’s Plan for Lowering Prescription Drug Costs.   [Summery]

A typical senior on Medicare spends over $500 per year out of his or her own pocket on prescription drugs. And individuals with chronic health conditions or serious illnesses can spend thousands of dollars each year in out of pocket spending.

Americans are having a hard time paying the bill.  “One of out every four people facing higher drug costs were also unable to afford medical bills or medications; one in five said they missed a payment on a major bill.”

In her 2008 campaign, she called for allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies to reduce prices and rein in costs.

1. Her plan will demand a stop to excessive profiteering and marketing by denying tax breaks for direct-to-consumer advertising and demanding that drug companies invest in R&D in exchange for taxpayer support – rather than marketing or excessive profits.
2. She will encourage competition to get more generics on the market and create a Federal backstop for when there are excessively high-priced drugs that face no competition.
3. She will cap what insurers can charge consumers in out-of-pocket costs, putting money back in the family wallet. Monthly $250
4. Require drug companies that benefit from taxpayers’ support to invest in research, not marketing or profits.  
5. Prohibit “pay for delay” arrangements that keep generic competition off the market. 
6. Allow Americans to import drugs from abroad – with careful protections for safety and quality. 
7. Allow Medicare to negotiate drug and biologic prices.

The efforts of Hillary Clinton as written here is Half Hearted efforts. Too much dancing with the words. No full explanation to the conditions people are in.

Not enough Hill. Do better Assasmant. Show some passion to fix it.                                                 Just a thought..
