Epilepsy is a lightning storm in the brain, shocking isn't it. A photographer friend once said that epilepsy is a shocking development. Seizures are silent, unless you saw them having a seizure or they told you that they had epilepsy you'd never know. That is why it is called the hidden disability or hidden handicap. Mr. Miller now has had epilepsy for 43 years, 4 months and has gained unwanted by him, epilepsy expertise, he might not know it all but darn it all, he's an expert, been both a physical and online support group leader (12 years total), 1 year contact person about vagal nerve stimulator for Minnesota Epilepsy Group, 2 years a contact person for the Western Wisconsin Epilepsy Center. Was force committed to a Psych Ward, fortunately only 5 days, was co-educator to 3rd and 4th grade classes so that children could be educated properly before misperceptions should take root, co-educator in epilepsy for day-cares and on one memorable occasion at a nursing home, victim of hellish diagnostic tests, high pain tolerance, has been diagnosed with mental health issues. At age 50 you are eligible for membership in AARP (American Association of retired persons), Mr. Miller has been eligible of 4 years and 8 months. Mr. Miller is available to speak to your group for a negotiable fee, his base fee is $350 per person, 50 persons minimum, the fee can be negotiated by equivalencies, have an AV department, a video taken by them is worth $25 taken off the fee per person, 5 endorsement letters by doctors and administrators is worth $100 off the total fee, Mr. Miller can speak on disability sexuality, coping, trust, acceptance, hostility, and though he really doesn't care for psych people about mental health and what it's like being diagnosed as mentally ill, with active paranoid schizophrenia, anxiety syndrome, panic attacks, controversial myths about epilepsy (3 dozen if my math is right), what it's like living with memory loss due to brain atrophy caused by chronic anticonvulsant use, about harassment and alcohol addiction, a discussion with a woman he once dated he calls the masturbation conversation, he barely remembers it but knows it actually occurred (she enjoyed riding her hand and was sure he was jacking off as they talked on the phone, he was remembering old times and got big and erect and hard and sensitive, it was like tickling and a massager combined and he ejaculated, had no option, there is a term disability masturbation and Mr. Miller would be willing to discuss that whether he does, doesn't, will, or won't.

Jon has lived with epilepsy for over fifty years. There were times when he was broken and defeated by seizures; then discovered the power of hope. Jon believes he can provide that hope to others dealing with seizure disorders by sharing his experience. In Sailing through the Storms of Seizures, he provides the perspective of the child, student, father, and caregiver. Jon had his first seizure at the age of four and was treated with medication for several years. His seizures returned while in college. At the age of forty-six, his seizures became intractable, and brain surgery his only option to regain control. There were many people who helped him with his recovery: his family, church, counselor, and those he met who faced similar situations. Soon after his surgery, Jon met a man who was distraught over his four-year-old son, who suffered from intractable seizures. As Jon shared his experience he witnessed hope being instilled in the man and his family. He is now a mentor and a counselor, focusing on helping people live with epilepsy. His greatest joy comes from his two sons, who have been there when needed, and accomplished much in their lives and careers.

This book exposes, for the first time in modern scholarship, the role that the rise of the Carry Trade played in British financial crises between 1825 and 1866, how in reaction the Bank of England improved its management of monetary policy after 1866 and how those lessons have been forgotten since the 1970s. Britain is one of the few major capitalist economies in the world to have avoided policy-induced systemic financial crises for more than 100 years of its history—between 1866 and 1973. Beforehand, it suffered a series of serious banking panics, in 1825, 1837, 1847, 1857-58 and 1866. Since the 1970s banking instability has returned again, with the global financial crisis of 2007-09 hitting Britain hard. Economists and policymakers have asked what can be learnt from Britain’s experience of the disappearance and reappearance of crises to help efforts to prevent future ones. This book answers that question with a major reassessment of Britain’s financial history over the past two centuries. It does so by applying the long-neglected ideas of the British Banking School to explain how crises can occur because of the Carry Trade. This book is essential reading for economists and historians of modern Britain, practitioners and policymakers, as well as anyone who is affected by financial crises and their consequences.

Navigating Economic Storms and Emerging from Fragility
Springer International Publishing AG

sidottu
This book examines the economic and political challenges faced by Sierra Leone and sub-Saharan Africa. It explores the impact of commodity price volatility, climate shocks, and the difficulty of financing development projects. Through analysing the different challenges Sierra Leone faces, from the legacy of the Ebola crisis to the sharp decline in the price of iron ore, it highlights how sub-Saharan Africa has become vulnerable to economic, environmental, and health shocks. This book sets out a framework for increasing economic resilience in Sierra Leone and enabling the country to maximise its rich natural resources and unlock its development potential. Practical suggestions for tackling fiscal challenges, climate change adaptation, effective monetary policy, building institutions, and creating gender equality are also covered. It will be of interest to students, researchers, and policymakers working on African and development economics.
Risk Assessment of Storms in Coastal Zones: Case Studies from Cartagena (Colombia) and Cadiz (Spain)
Nelson Rangel-Buitrago; Giorgio Anfuso
Springer International Publishing AG
2015
nidottu
This book assists the reader in determining storm risks, focussing on sandy coasts and cliff coasts in the context of expected sea level rise from littoral transformation and climate change. It examines storm impacts through matrixes concerning physical parameters, socio-economic activities, ecological and historic resources, and it presents the Coastline Risk to Storms Index as a single numerical measure of the risk for a given area.The methodology is described and tested against two coastal areas: one in the Caribbean Sea (Cartagena, Colombia) and the other on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean (Cadiz, Spain). Both areas record an important flow of tourists associated with the “sun, sea and sand market” which represents an economic recourse for the hinterland too.Chapters describe this approach and explore three particular types of variables: i) the forcing variables contributing to storm-induced erosion, ii) dynamic variables that determine the resilience to erosion (Susceptibility) and iii) the vulnerable targets grouped in three different contexts (socio-economic, ecological and heritage). These are combined into two separate indices, the Hazard Index (combining forcing and susceptibility) and the Vulnerability Index, which together constitute the Coastline Risk to Storms Index.Maps created using this semi-quantitative approximation method can help to determine the causes, processes and consequences of storm-related processes. This book is therefore important to anyone considering coastal development programs, especially decision-makers: the work presented here can assist in the development of preventative management strategies for the most vulnerable areas.
Solar Particle Radiation Storms Forecasting and Analysis
Springer International Publishing AG
2018
sidottu
Solar energetic particles (SEPs) emitted from the Sun are a major space weather hazard motivating the development of predictive capabilities. This book presents the results and findings of the HESPERIA (High Energy Solar Particle Events forecasting and Analysis) project of the EU HORIZON 2020 programme. It discusses the forecasting operational tools developed within the project, and presents progress to SEP research contributed by HESPERIA both from the observational as well as the SEP modelling perspective. Using multi-frequency observational data and simulations HESPERIA investigated the chain of processes from particle acceleration in the corona, particle transport in the magnetically complex corona and interplanetary space, to the detection near 1 AU. The book also elaborates on the unique software that has been constructed for inverting observations of relativistic SEPs to physical parameters that can be compared with space-borne measurements at lower energies. Introductory and pedagogical material included in the book make it accessible to students at graduate level and will be useful as background material for Space Physics and Space Weather courses with emphasis on Solar Energetic Particle Event Forecasting and Analysis.This book is published with open access under a CC BY license.
Adaptation to Coastal Storms in Atlantic Canada

This brief is based on an analysis that was performed on the 2010 winter storms that caused considerable damage to coastal communities in Atlantic Canada. The hazards that occurred were associated with storm surge, high waves, coastal erosion, and flooding. The analysis covered a large multisite longitudinal project, where a participatory action research (PAR) approach was used to understand how people in 10 coastal communities perceive and experience extreme weather events and to enhance their capacity to adapt and improve their resilience. This brief exposes the outcome of two series of interviews and activities that were conducted during the project, as well as the lessons learned, and general elements that should be considered when researchers collaborate with communities to define adaptation and resilience strategies. It makes an important contribution to the application of PAR as an integrated (social-ecological) approach to resilience and how such an approach can be adapted also to other communities.
