The dilemma of Yemenite students has been starting and ongoing for decades. It is that have committed these vices and crimes by the tyrants’ regime with his dark, undeveloped and backward mentality. The branches of state security and military as well as civil institutions implemented these vices and crimes. Their aim and objective is to manipulate, destruct and drain the brain in order to monopolize the powerand governance. They also intend to exploit and manage the national wealth randomly, obscurely and violently.

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

This tragedy is old and still ongoing. What has changed is there are new tools and implementations, which they used against students as well as citizens.

The strategies and mechanisms, as well as tactics used include violent oppression, as well as various forms of psychological warfare, including economic, political and social. This is done both openly and in secret. Therefore, their seasoning and poisons change as they continue to destroy the spirit and flesh.

Before and after the era of the Yemenite Imams, custody of education was banned and denied and no more modern schools or universities were built. However, in the modern-day of Republic, they have been opening the educational institutions and establishments. But, they have also been converting these important organizations into military barracks, combings and security organizations. They were managed by oppression, murder, violence, terrorism and crimes. This results in producing the same or worse qualities as before.

Both of the regimes have justified and explained their conduct to preserve the religion and law. Although, the truth is to prevent and prohibit understanding, and the giving of citizens their civil rights, as well as claiming on the urbanization. Therefore, they have been destroying the mind, which is their main purpose .

For instance, in the republican era of the 1970's, the methods and styles of killing, murdering and assassinating evolved and increased. They practiced numerous crimes, including detention and house arrest, pursuit, harassment and killing. As a result of that, students emigrated, were killed or imprisoned, become disabled or committed suicide, or lost their mental health. The regime claimed that all of these things have been done to protect the religion, which is originally lost and damaged.

The regime still believes that science and knowledge are dangerous things and their first enemy, so they fabricate and prepared the accusations for liberals, intellectuals and cadres. For example, they accuse them that they are the ally of global socialism on Arab and Islamic systems, so they accuse them of national and humanitarian treason, in addition they accused them of religious treason, therefore, they consulted the religious people to have the permission of killing them. Then, they judged them and killed them due to the yuppies protocols of darkness. They killed them, aiming to stop the wheel of development and the preservation of the minority interests and their selfishness and aggressive authority.

The situation has not improved at the end of the 1970’s, 1980's or after the theoretical unifying the country, which was announced on May 22, 1990. So, they used the students as black sheep in civil wars or wars against the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. Their aim was to eliminate them because they carried the light and education as well as that they are from the Al-Hojaria region or Taiz or central regions. By doing so, they protect the army because most of the army is from Zaidiyyah tribes. This act is the omnipotent proof of their racism, crime and brutality.

This dilemma of students’ problems involves racial and sectarian nature inherent in the mind of the obscurantist. Their future plans for the students is for calamity because the students' sin that they are the lovers of science, knowledge and life with its virtues, and because they are prophets and messengers of civilization, justice and equality.

The quantity and quality of scholarship is distributed for associates and affiliates, far from the standard of honest competition, rates and skills. What remains is distributed to the students to eliminate them from the country for a period of up to four or five years, in order to lose their productive and active age. Then, they return after graduation to the dark judgments of being baath, socialist, nationalist or islamist or imperialist or other accusations for leaving the country or facing the death. These accusations, which are trumped up and fabricated , are used to ban the educated from being involved in the system. They eliminate them of participation in decision-making. Despite that, the state soldiers, army units and rulers have relations and cooperation with the Russians, the Arabs and the Americans among others. In addition, the state does not possess or consider of real developmental programmes.

The problems of removing the salaries and scholarships of the students is a deliberated case and also part of terrible, frightening, and brutal corruption, which is widespread in the state's institutions and appears not only at schools, ministries, institutions of education but also in the Ministry of Finance, Foreign Affairs, embassies and other government's organs apparatuses associated with mentioned organizations A bribe is necessary in the regime and is a part of its behaviour and doctrine. The exploitation of positions is easy and natural, so the regime gains money and it protects only its individual interests. It also assaults the rights by looting and banditry, where salaries, scholarships and fees of students are deposited in foreign banks for three months and their benefits go for gangs in the diplomatic corps in embassies. It also cuts off a small amount e.g. two dollars from each student. They explain that the exchange rates of the dollar against the riyal are in change. This is disgraced work, because the salaries of students sent reinforcements to the embassies of the full amount, and the announced information to students according to a law of Education and Higher Education Ministries under the issue of foreign mission said to payment of scholarships in American Dollars and in advance.

We also see the corruption and inequality that there are students that have four salaries and they are delegated from more than one ministry. On the other hand, we observe students drop proceedings under the omission or defect in the computer, the case omissions and imbalance lasts for three or four years.

The policy of cutting off students' or the staff salaries is a statement that is taken from the proverb hunger you dog he follows you. Further more, before you became attacked you should start your attack in order to stop them of asking and struggling for their civil rights and providing the equality and equitable distribution of wealth for all, as well as stopping students from participation in decision-making. Hence, full surrounding is a duty under the principle attacked before they are preparing for confrontation.

The objective of starvation also is a psychological preparation to create new conditions to extort students and use them for inhuman jobs. In addition, to sell them in the local, regional and international slave market. The Yemenite modern system based on begging and trading land, honour and rights. They sell themselves and he who sells himself is easy for him to sell others under the slogans of parties or tribes or national and international cooperation.

Sales and piracy reached even for children, the God's loved, and the sale of the governor for himself, his groups and citizens are done in different ways according to their laws they legalize everything, so, there are spiritual, physical and psychological sale. They are specialist and expert in this field, moreover; they have implementations. The most important thing for them is money.

Their ignorance and stupidity make them blind to see the wealth in the land and people, and they do not know how to manage them to benefit from its' eggs, milks, fruits and brains. So they sell the expensive things to earn the cheaper, which is the money, which they spend it for their selfish purpose. By this behaviour, attitude and mentality all is lost .

Recently, they cut off and banned the students from their scholarships as well as jobs and privileges and they distributed and gave only for those who want to give. They kill students by their hands as well as across international criminal mafias. Hence, many students have disappeared or lived without any human emotional feelings. The condition of students is a tragedy in abroad and inside the country. They are in between a rock and a hard place. Where does your train drive and lead science, the homeland and us?

The followed solutions by the corrupt regime are a palliative for a short time by sending delegates from the ministries for disguising. Nobody gains anything from the followed procedures of solving the dilemma of student except the delegates, who benefit from travel allowance, the leeway and spend their objectives. Finally, they declare through their false media that the problem is solved and they eliminate corruption and spoilers. Although the solutions must begin at home and no need for traveling, the delegates from the ministries are the useless people of knowledge and science and are gainless and deadly.

I am neither pessimistic nor optimistic, but pessoptimist, and when the train starts working for the establishment the state of institutions and law my optimism will achieve the optimum and maximum.

There is nothing good comes by the unfair and corrupt as well as their institutions. For instance, in the embassies there are diplomats, who are murderers and the government protect them, they are fugitive from other tribes, because the revenge is a legal things in the state. In addition, embassies is full of sorts of whom are blind, prostitutes and thieves, who believe in the doctrine of vice. This is the same-called technocrat from the ruling and those who are illegal investments internationally and dealing with other nations Mafiosi. They fled laundering and criminals in the eyes of the world and even mafias. They become with their nations money in a history and in dilemma. Certainly, the end such these groups are the dustbin of history.

Problems after graduation are harsher and worse than before graduation. Some of absolvents had harm and hard life, so few of them immigrate and most of them accept inappropriate jobs, which are not related to their level of education, morality and ethics. When the absolvents morally fall, they become psychologically able to do anything and become acceptable be the authority too, unless he will be thrown into unknown determination to face million harmful obstacles as well as brutal and wild characters.

To homeland, students, scientists and citizens the almighty God says “help one another in goodness and piety, and do not help one another in sin and aggression". We do not have any choice except fighting and struggling. Both ways are the best thing for the emancipation of where we are, and God and humanitarian law gives us the rights to proceed.

Brother, sons and, friend, student, professor's partners, farmers and workers we should in solidarity working together to better ourselves and homeland. My brother student in life and path you need only to demand full rights for yourself as human beings and citizens. If your only demand for salary and scholarship it is what the corrupt authority wants, and it is not going to give you it or deliberate and debate with you of it. So, demand your full rights to get a part of it. Finally, you must hitch you wagon to a star, stand up with the voice of the people, which is the voice of God and strike while the iron is hot.

Brother, student and teacher this is your case and it is in your hands to absorb and understand it. If you believe in what it contents then, you should spread and distribute it to all Yemenite students in the World as well as to students' unions, federations and associations of Arab World and the globe. In addition to international human rights organizations. This is the first step in the journey of a thousand miles.

RCMP are stopping hundreds of vehicles as they step up their investigation of a man who abducted a seven-year-old girl in central Alberta before releasing her two hours later.

The girl was riding her bike near the arena in Bowden, south of Red Deer, on Thursday evening when a man drove up and forced her into the back seat of his truck. He also threw her dog and bike into the truck.

The suspect then drove south on Highway 2A through Olds and stopped north of Carstairs. At that time, the bike was discarded, said police.

Two hours after she was taken, the girl and her dog were dropped off on a gravel road northwest of Bowden. She walked to a farmhouse to get help.

The girl's bicycle was found near a pond north of Carstairs on Saturday but police are still looking for her abductor. (RCMP)

RCMP officers set up two checkstops in the town of Bowden and off Highway 2A near Carstairs on Thursday to canvass motorists and to hand out posters in an attempt to collect more information in the case.

Investigators will not say if the girl was sexually or physically assaulted. She was treated in hospital and has since returned to her Grade 1 class.

Police found the girl's purple bicycle near a pond north of Carstairs on Saturday but have not found the man described as having a thin build with an olive or darker complexion. He has short, spiked black hair and stubble.

Investigators are also looking for a full-sized, pickup truck that may be grey or gold with a dark-coloured interior and rubber floor mats.

Sources tell CBC News the highest levels of the Canadian government have known for years that foreign countries have been trying to win influence over Canadian politicians and public servants.

Richard Fadden, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, in an exclusive interview with the CBC. (CBC)

Sources tell the CBC the PCO was well aware of those concerns, even if it hadn't been told the details of who was involved.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, the minister responsible for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Canada's spy agency, refused to discuss Fadden's bombshell allegations.

"I'm afraid I can't comment on any operational issues involving CSIS," Toews said Thursday.

In an exclusive interview with CBC News earlier this week, Fadden said Canada's spy agency suspects that some municipal politicians and cabinet ministers in two provinces are being swayed by their connections to foreign governments.

Semitic illegal drug calls Khat spreads in North America and Europe

China was one of the countries Fadden mentioned.

The remarkable comments sparked outrage from some provincial politicians and have led some observers to call for Fadden to resign.

But senior intelligence sources say the highest levels of the Canadian government were "absolutely" aware of the issue.

"These problems are very well-known," one source said. "This information did not blindside the government."

Fadden 'not wrong': source

A source suggested the prime minister was personally aware of the issue of foreign agents trying to win influence over politicans and bureaucrats — even if he didn't know the details.

"The prime minister is strongly of a view that this is a problem," a source said.

The source said Harper has an appetite for intelligence beyond that of his predecessors. Intelligence briefers now routinely provide the prime minister with detailed written reports, in addition to their regular verbal briefings.

On Wednesday, the Prime Minister's Office denied it was warned by CSIS of any specific agents of influence in provincial cabinets. Fadden himself later issued a retraction on that key point.

But sources tell the CBC the issue was very likely "verbally briefed " to intelligence staff who work for the prime minister.

Fadden "had to swallow hard," a source said, "but he's not wrong."

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

The Netherlands remained perfect in Group E play with a 2-1 win over Cameroon on Thursday to advance to the Round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup.

Main storyline

The Netherlands became the second team at the World Cup to win all three of its group matches. Argentina is the only other team to accomplish that feat so far.

The Oranje, which had already assured a spot in the next round before its final game against Cameroon, used its dominant midfield to take control of the match from the start and, though the Indomitable Lions scored on a second-half penalty by captain Samuel Eto'o, the result was never in doubt.

The Netherlands is now unbeaten in 22 international matches (17 wins).

Dutch midfielder Arjen Robben, who missed the opening two games with a hamstring injury, saw his first taste of World Cup action when he was brought into the game in the 73rd minute.

A classy move was made by Cameroon to get Rigobert Song into the game in the final 10 minutes. He's the first African player to enjoy a World Cup career stretching over 16 years, joining Antonio Carbajal and Hugo Sanchez of Mexico and Lothar Matthaus of Germany as the only players to do so.

What this result means

With the victory, the Netherlands takes the No. 1 seed in Group E, pitting the team against the second seed in Group F, Slovakia, in the Round of 16 (June 28, CBC, CBCSports.ca 9:30 a.m. ET).

Japan earned second seed in the group after posting a 3-1 result over Denmark. Japan will play Group F winners Paraguay in the next round (June 29, CBC, CBCSports.ca 9:30 a.m. ET).

Cameroon finishes the tournament without a win, becoming the fourth African country to be eliminated, joining Algeria, Nigeria and South Africa. Ghana is the only African team to advance to the Round of 16.

The winning goal

In the 83rd minute, Wesley Sneijder played a long cross-field ball to Robben on the right-hand side of the pitch. Robben controlled the ball, pushed it onto his left foot and cracked a curling ball off the far post. Substitute Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, the top goal scorer for the Netherlands in qualifying, followed up the rebound and buried it at a tough angle in the back of the Cameroon net to make it 2-1.

Turning point

Huntelaar's winning goal deflated the spirits of the Indomitable Lions, who were attempting to earn at least a point in their final tournament game.

Goal of the match

Robin van Pierse's marker at the 36th minute was less about the finish and more about the build up through the midfield starting with Dirk Kuyt. The Liverpool workhorse knocked the ball to van Pierse, who essentially made something out of nothing. He linked a textbook give-and-go with Rafael van der Vaart finishing it off by scoring goal through the legs of Cameroon keeper Hamidou Souleymanou.

Man of the match

Van Pierse gets the honour for not only his opening goal, but also his willingness to take risks and charge ahead in the offensive third of the field. He was always a threat, whether he was holding up the ball with his back to the goal or running on to through balls.

The Dutch perspective

"We were far too nonchalant in the second half. Our final spell put us on the right track again, but consider this a serious warning." — Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk.

The Cameroonian perspective

"I ended my mission. Now I will reflect carefully." — Cameroon coach Paul Le Guen.

Hon. Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey (1784-1857), a young London importer and ship insurance broker, emigrated to Canada in 1820 with a small fortune, to develop an estate in the Canadian wilderness. He soon established himself as a leader of society in eastern Upper Canada (Ontario) and became a member of the Legislative Assembly, Reeve of March Township, Warden of Carleton County, and a member of the Legislative Council of Upper Canada. He developed HORACEVILLE, on the Ottawa Riverfront of March Township (now the City of Ottawa), as his residential estate, operating grist and sawmills and building St. Mary's Church, which opened in 1827.

HAMNETT KIRKES PINHEY'S HOUSE : HORACEVILLE, the residence of the Hon. Hamnett Pinhey, was named for Pinhey's eldest son. In keeping with British aristocratic practice, young Horace was intended from the start to be the heir to the property.

The house was built in four stages, from north to south.

HAMNETT KIRKES PINHEY'S HOUSE : HORACEVILLE, the residence of the Hon. Hamnett Pinhey, was named for Pinhey's eldest son. In keeping with British aristocratic practice, young Horace was intended from the start to be the heir to the property.The house was built in four stages, from north to south.

The original house, built in 1820-1821, was "a nice tasty cottage with viranda [sic]". It was a two-storey log building, covered with clapboard. To the rear was a square stone kitchen with hip roof. (National Archives, NMC-22119). In 1841, Pinhey began to look ahead to the day Horace would marry and take over the farm. He planned a large addition in two stages. The central hall-kitchen wing was built in 1841-42, with a gracious sweeping staircase leading upstairs to a dining room at the head of the stairs and a bedroom over the front entrance. The new kitchen wing to the rear was to become Mrs. Pinhey's kitchen when a daughter-in-law took over the older part of the house. On August 21, 1847, Horace Pinhey married Kate Greene at neighbouring St. Mary's Church, and in September work began to enlarge the old stone kitchen to better serve the young couple. In 1848-49 the final, south wing was added, including a library, pantry, and drawing room on the ground floor. Upstairs, several bedrooms and an interesting second-storey privy, which Pinhey called the "sanctum sanctorum", Latin for "the holy of holies", were added. Horace and Kate moved into the older part of the house and took over management of the farm, turning over half the produce each year to his parents. Hamnett retained control of the gardens and moved with wife Mary Anne and daughter Constance into the newer part of the house. At Hamnett Pinhey's death in 1857 he willed the new half of the house to daughter Constance. However, she married her cousin John Hamnett Pinhey and moved to Bytown (Ottawa) shortly thereafter, deeding her inheritance to Horace. In the nineteenth century, the Pinhey house had been expanded to accommodate a growing family. In the twentieth century, it was home to an aging family and the side wings were boarded up. The family rejected proposals to make HORACEVILLE the home of a Hollywood actress or a summer residence for the Governor General. HORACEVILLE remained the Pinhey family farm until the 1970s. In the end, Miss Ruth Pinhey alone occupied the deteriorating central wing of her ancestors' great house. She died in 1971. Pinhey's Point, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 270 Pinhey's Point Road, Dunrobin, Ontario (A Historic Tourist Site in Canada's National Capital Region) The Pinhey Estate, HORACEVILLE, is an 88-acre heritage site scenically situated on the Ottawa River in rural Ottawa, in the hamlet of Dunrobin northwest of the downtown core. This estate is owned and operated by the City of Ottawa. The Honourable Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey emigrated to Canada from England in 1820 to develop his estate, HORACEVILLE, Pinhey's Point. That same year, 1820, he built the first Pinhey house to which additions were made over the next 28 years. This property remained in the Pinhey family until 1971 when March Township purchased it. In 1990 the City of Kanata (now part of the City of Ottawa) acquired Pinhey's Point. One of the City's biggest projects was the restoration of the Hamnett Pinhey mansion. Today, the City of Ottawa continues to develop the site's heritage and waterfront potential. The Pinhey's Point Foundation, established in 1980, has played a significant role in preserving and developing the estate as an historic site and recreation area. The Foundation's Museum Committee along with Pinhey's Point staff plan and prepare exhibits each year. The Pinhey's Point Foundation is pleased to acknowledge the generous financial support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) http://www.trilliumfoundation.org/, and the Government of Ontario in 2003/2004. Funding has been provided for interpretive planning and development projects incorporating artifact assessment, preservation and restoration, in order to share with the community and public the rich heritage of March Township. The Pinhey's Point Foundation is also pleased to acknowledge the generous financial support of the City of Ottawa in accomplishing a number of collections management, exhibit and community outreach projects through its Ottawa Cultural Facilities Fund for 2003, 2004 and 2005 and the Heritage Funding Program for 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. The Foundation greatly appreciates the generous funding provided by the Ontario Ministry of Culture through its Heritage Organization Development Grant for 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Police say Venus Dejong, 2, was taken from her home in southeastern Alberta on Sunday morning. (RCMP)

Charges have been laid against the grandmother of a toddler who was taken from her home in southeastern Alberta on Sunday morning, police said Tuesday.

Johan Dejong, 47, of Fort Macleod, Alta., is charged with abduction and breaking and entering in connection with the alleged kidnapping of her maternal granddaughter, Venus Dejong, 2, from her home in Redcliff, about 300 kilometres southeast of Calgary.

Dejong turned the girl over to officers at the RCMP detachment in Jasper, Alta., late Monday morning. Investigators believe she was headed to B.C.

The girl's mother, Lola Katherine Dejong, 25, was charged on Monday with abduction in contravention of a custody order, and breaking and entering.

Johan Dejong is in custody and will make her first court appearance in Medicine Hat provincial court on June 24.

Father's Day was started 100 years ago to dispel the notion that men were lazy, sleazy and drunk. (iStock)

Last Updated: Friday, June 18, 2010 / 1:38 PM E: Sunday is the day fathers around the world are celebrated, gifted with neckties and cologne and given a day free from lawn mowing and garage cleaning.

https://poetsofottawa.ning.com/events/fathers-day-marks-100th

The first celebration of a fatherhood day was 100 years ago, and it was intended to change the perception of men in U.S. society.

Father's Day was started a century ago because inventor Sonora Smart Dodd was upset by widespread mocking of fathers in popular culture as lazy, sleazy and drunk.

While today's fathers have come a long way, some would say they could once again use an image boost thanks to the much-mocked antics of the likes of Tiger Woods and Jon Gosselin.

It's easy to take shots at dads who mess up, but it's important to focus on the important role of men, said Michael Gurian, an author who specializes in the struggles of men in the modern world.

"Making fun of guys to get them to perform and prove themselves, that's always going to exist," Gurian said. "But we have to equally celebrate them and empower them."

For Dodd, the last straw was a church sermon in 1908, when her priest rambled on about the newly created Mother's Day and the importance of mothers.

"I liked everything you said about motherhood," Dodd recalled telling the priest in a 1972 interview. "However, don't you think fathers deserve a place in the sun, too?"

Her father, William Smart, survived the Civil War and then moved west to seek his fortune. His wife died in the winter of 1898, while giving birth to their sixth child.

But Smart, with the help of Dodd, the eldest child and only girl, held the family together. Dodd became convinced of the importance of fathers, at a time when they were not considered that relevant to the family.

"Without fathers you would have no civilization," Gurian said.

He acknowledged that men tend to take more risks, fool around more and suffer more crippling addictions than women. They also seem slower to mature these days, often living at home into their 20s.

"Father's Day is hopefully a time when the culture says, 'This is our moment to look at who our men and boys are,' " he said. "If we don't protect fathering, we are going to really be messed up."

Dodd certainly did her part. She pushed for the first Father's Day celebration, which was held in June 1910 in Spokane, Wash.

'She was a businesswoman and knew how to get things done'—Father's Day founder's granddaughter

"Father's Day is hopefully a time when the culture says, 'This is our moment to look at who our men and boys are,' " he said. "If we don't protect fathering, we are going to really be messed up."

Dodd certainly did her part. She pushed for the first Father's Day celebration, which was held in June 1910 in Spokane, Wash.

Fathers in church were given red roses, and people whose fathers were deceased wore white roses.

Some also credit the invention of the holiday to Grace Golden Clayton of Fairmount, W.Va., who is said to have suggested to the pastor of her church in 1908 that he hold a service in honour of fathers.

The campaign for a national holiday

But it was Dodd who campaigned nationally for the holiday.

Mother's Day was quickly accepted as a national holiday, with U.S. Congress in 1914 designating the second Sunday in May. Father's Day had a much longer road, perhaps reflecting the societal split involving mothers and fathers. It was not until 1966 that president Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honouring fathers and set the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.

In 1972, president Richard Nixon signed the law that made it permanent, to the delight of necktie and golf club makers everywhere.

Dodd died in 1978 at age 96 and is buried in Spokane.

"She was a businesswoman and knew how to get things done," said Barbara Hillerman, Sonora Dodd's only grandchild. "I sent my grandmother a Father's Day card every year."

“Meeting someone from the Peer Support program 3 days after my son had a spinal cord injury was so important to me. I was so scared and I had so many questions that needed to be answered right away. Learning from others who were in the same situations as me, helped me have a better understanding of what I needed to do to help my son. I encourage all families to contact CPA Ontario if your loved one has just had a spinal cord injury.”

"Finding my Peer Support Volunteer was a real turning point for me. He opened my eyes to what was possible. He answered my tough personal questions with honesty and a positive attitude. That made my recovery a whole lot better."

Kevin

Trained Peer Support volunteers are people with personal experience with a SCI and family members of persons with SCI. They have made a positive adjustment and are willing to help those who are newly injured and their families throughout their journey to rehabilitation. For people with new SCI, thinking about the challenges of the future can be daunting. But, nobody should have to contemplate these life changes in isolation. By listening, sharing their own experiences and providing practical information, volunteers provide one-to-one support to persons who have sustained an injury and their families.

Nelligan O’Brien Payne’s Personal Injury Group

Nelligan O’Brien Payne is a locally-owned law firm that first opened its doors over 40 years ago. Our firm has a long history representing individuals and their families who have been injured as a result of an accident. This includes automobile or other motorized vehicle accidents, slip and falls, assaults, as well as injuries caused by the negligence of another person or entity.

We often provide contingency free arrangements, so our clients can move forward with their case without incurring legal fees, until the matter is settled or a judgment is obtained at trial.

Over the years we have seen many individuals who have not been aware of the various sources of financial support that are available, have missed important time limitations that prevent them from obtaining full benefits, or have jeopardized their rights by signing off too early on a settlement. For those who have seriously injured, it is important for them to have this information.

The legal problems in such cases are often complicated and require detailed information to be collected from the individual and/or family members. To facilitate the gathering or relevant information, flag various sources of assistance and identify important issues we have developed a Personal Injury Guide. This guide has two main section:

1. Information about your legal rights, important next steps and other assistance that is available.
2. A workbook to assist you with recording relevant information.

For a free copy of our 27-pages personal injury guide, please contact Sylvie Vanasse at (613) 231-8205;

His voice and musical work started to emerge during the national protests the early 70s on the streets of Guatemala City, rapidly Tito was touring the country side of his native Guatemala with his bands Camino and Grupo Taller, then with the Estudiantina of the University of San Carlos and later with Kin-Lalat Revolutionary Music Ensemble. Freedom, equality, hope, love and consensus have been Tito’s inspirations across the time.

Dr. Monia Mazigh: Finance Professor / Writer/

Dr. Mazigh was catapulted onto the public stage in 2002 when her husband Maher Arar, was deported to Syria where he was tortured and held without charge for over a year. During that time, Dr. Mazigh campaigned vigorously for her husband’s release and later fought to re-establish his reputation and sought reparations. In January 2007, after a lengthy inquiry, her husband finally received an apology from the Canadian government and was offered compensation for the "terrible ordeal" his family had suffered. Dr. Mazigh has since authored a new book called Hope and Despair which documents her ordeal after her husband was arrested and how she campaigned to clear his name.

Hawa Kaba: Painter / Drummer (Guinea)

Kaba's art is greatly influenced by her early years in Africa. Her interest in women and women’s issues stems from wanting to push beyond the injustice of existing boundaries - a push for freedom to fulfill life’s dreams regardless of perceived limitations. In her native Guinea, art has traditionally been the exclusive domain of men, while women are left to mind the household and raise children. Through her art, Kaba hopes to encourage women, in particular African women, to become interested in painting as a means of expression.

His work developed into the prestigious international “Arawi” Music Workshop. He has performed in Canada, Bolivia, and Chile.

Jessica Solomon - Comedian (Montreal)

Jessica was working as a war crimes lawyer for the U.N. when she decided to pursue a career in comedy. Frankly, she thought, it was time to get serious. Jessica works out of Montreal, Canada, where she performs regularly at the Comedyworks and the Comedynest as well as every alternative comedy room in town. No audience is too small. Seriously, a single bus stop dweller will do. But she does love a crowd, so Jessica has also traveled to cities with large amounts of English speakers. She has performed in Ottawa and Toronto at Yuk Yuks and Absolute Comedy.

Internationally, she’s hit the Comedy Café in London and the legendary Zanies Comedy Club in Chicago, amongst others. She has also auditioned for Just for Laughs. When she’s not writing and performing Jessica likes to check in with her old colleagues in The Hague. She enjoys hearing how sad the war criminals are without her observational wit and storytelling to keep them going. She believes they are jealous of her comedy audience and regret what they have done.

Nubia Cermeño: Singer / Songwriter (Venezuela)

Boys and Men Healing is a documentary about the impact the sexual abuse of boys has on both the individual and society, and the importance of healing and speaking out for male survivors to end the devastating effects. The film portrays courageous non-offending men whose arduous healing helped them reclaim their lives—while giving them a powerful voice to speak out, and take bold action toward prevention for other boys. Boys and Men Healing is being produced in association with International Documentary Association. "It is and excellent film for teaching about children's experiences of sexual abuse and the multiple experience that support their recovery..a marvelous gift!"--Ernesto Mujica, Ph.D, Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst, NYSPA Division of Psychonanalysis.

The film features David Lisak's moving and poignant personal story of facing his own childhood sexual abuse, his dedication to speaking out, and his professional work educating about the impact male child sexual abuse has on the cycle of violence. David's powerful story is witness to the hope available when men heal, and a serious call-to-action to address the potential impact on men and communities.

Mark Crawford's story is a true hero's journey of a survivor working relentlessly and successfully against all odds to change unjust laws and to seek justice for male survivors. Mark’s own personal and arduous healing, and consequent commitment to help survivors, along with his ongoing efforts to educate about pedophiles in communities, and his tenacity and determination to change still unjust laws, will have us cheering him on, and joining him, by film’s end!

Tony Rogers, raped by a pedophile when he was 9-years old, breaks the cycle of violence and self-destruction through his commitment to heal.

After being unable to find a support group for male survivors in his community, he joined with other men to start a much needed peer-led group. Witnessing his fellowship with other men, and the sensitivity and authenticity in their sharing, is a beautiful testimony of men breaking silence and isolation, taking the initiative to join together, and rebuilding a sense of deep trust with other men.

Boys and Men Healing is a source of hope and inspiration for all men who have suffered sexual abuse and violence. The men are candid about a seemingly hopeless issue which effects us all. The film is witness to survivors' ability to thrive and lead fulfilling lives, while advocating

for prevention and education to protect children.

Synopsis

Boys and Men Healing is a documentary about the impact of male sexual abuse on both the individual and society, and the importance and power of healing and speaking out for male survivors for the well being of individuals, families, and communities.

The film portrays courageous non-offending men whose arduous healing helped them reclaim their lives, speak out, while taking action toward prevention for other boys. The film is an important statement promoting a societal shift from cycles of abuse to cycles of healing for males, and is a bold voice revealing a secret crime that effects us all, while pointing the way toward hope and solutions.

This is a film that digs deep into the issues and effects related to male child sexual abuse, yet bursts forth with the beauty and celebration of men’s emotions and voices that transform—too long veiled under masculinity stereotypes and silence. Jim Hopper, Founding Board Member, 1i6.org states: “Kathy Barbini’s film has the potential to transform those stories and voices into healing –not only for individuals but also for families, communities, and even societies”.

Boys and Men Healing is produced by Big Voice Pictures in association with The International Documentary Association, is a prophetic call-to-action and answer the need for prevention and educational resources for male survivors. The documentary joins with others leading the way in breaking silence and paving new and healthier roads for boys and men.

Although men’s healing and voices are celebrated in Boys and Men Healing, the effects of child sexual abuse can never minimized. Rhonda Perkins, Prevention Education Child help, USA says: “the film shows the link between early sexual abuse and subsequent substance abuse, criminal activity, and continuing the cycle of abuse against future generations of innocent children--we as a society cannot afford to ignore the important messages this film has to offer.”

In one powerful segment in the film featuring respected forensic psychologist and researcher, Dr. David Lisak, reveals on-camera for the first time his personal story of facing his own childhood sexual abuse during his riveting interview with death row inmate, James Thomas, also sexually abused as a boy. David’s own courage and healing instills a passion to educate about his groundbreaking work researching the impact male child sexual abuse has on the cycle of violence, and is a call to action for breaking silence and attending to the deep, insidious scars of child sexual abuse. His honesty about his own abuse and it’s effects on his life, and his commitment to heal and speak out, is a humbling witness to his courage, as he lights the way for other men beginning their healing journey.

Christopher de Serres, Co-Founder of (Wo)Men Speak Out says, “I am a male sexual abuse survivor and I say this with more courage than I did the day before because of films like Boys and Men Healing”. The film also profiles, Tony Rogers, raped by a pedophile when he was 9-years old. From touting a gun on the streets of Oakland, California, to choosing to heal and interrupting a life cycle of crime, Tony is a model black man rising from the ashes and creating a productive and hopeful life.

But his choice to heal was thwarted by lack of services for non-offending male survivors in his community. Yet, by taking initiative, Tony, along with other men, initiated their own peer-led group in San Francisco. Witnessing Tony’s fellowship with these courageous men, and the sensitivity and authenticity in their sharing, a heartwarming and beautiful testimony of men breaking silence and isolation, by joining together, and rebuilding a sense of deep trust with other men unfolds throughout the film.

Survivor advocate, Rev. Patrick Kennedy, Priest in the Washington Baltimore area states: “Becoming able not only to live with, but to heal these wounds - to bridge this abyss - is by its very nature a spiritual journey, one undertaken with great effort, honesty, courage and, most of all, the finding of new meaning. Just such a journey is evident in what the filmmakers have done in Boys and Men Healing. Through the lives of men who have begun this healing themselves, those who see it may begin to know that such a meaning-filled healing is even possible.”

Mark Crawford's story is a true hero's journey of a survivor working successfully against all odds to change unjust laws and to seek justice for male survivors. Mark’s own healing and consequent availability to help other survivors, along with his relentless efforts and tenacity to change still unjust laws and passion to educate about pedophiles in communities, will have us cheering for him and joining his cause by film’s end. Senator Joe Vitale, New Jersey State Senator who was instrumental in helping Mark change important laws benefiting survivors says , “While it is clear this film will help survivors heal and providers treat, I see an even greater purpose. Use this film to educate lawmakers, serve on Commissions, run for public office, and become the agents for change”.

And ultimately, this film is also for boys and children, and a call to action to speak out, protect and advocate for children. Eileen King, Regional Director Justice For Children/Washington, D.C. Chapter, speaks about the film, “ I predict that Boys and Men Healing will have a profound effect on the ears that are still closed to the message that we must hear, care, act and protect, especially when the voice is quiet and small”.

Boys and Men Healing is a celebration of courage, the power of truth, and the power to transform.

Carol Little reads from "A Study in Love" , with paintings by Kristy Gordon - 7:30 p.m.

A Study in Love is a visceral analysis of love and loss, their mutability and interchangeability, and the pain derived from both. Written over a two-year period, these poems explore emotionally sensitive territory in order to garner a deeper understanding of human relationships, boundaries, and tendencies. Award winning novelist and poet Carol Little offers a fresh, innovative voice in the landscape of modern Canadian poets. This collection pairs her pieces with stunning paintings by critically acclaimed artist, Kristy Gordon.

Carol Little is a novelist and poet. Her first novel, Hide Your Life Away, was nominated for the 2009 Montaigne Medal, winner in the General Fiction category of the 2009 Eric Hoffer Book Awards, and a finalist in the 2009 Indie Book Awards. Little has had poems printed in publications in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. She is a member of the League of Canadian Poets, and has been invited to read at numerous universities and festivals, including the 2009 Canada Games Artistic Mentor Program. A Study in Love is Little's first collection of poetry.

Author Little Shows Big Flair, Potential

June 11, 2010

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, Canada – Beset by a constant craving to write, author and poet Carol Little clings to big literary aspirations. Luckily, she also possesses hefty doses of the perseverance and talent needed to achieve them.

“I've been writing for as long as I can remember – from childhood,” said Carol when interviewed at one of her favorite workplaces, a tiny table at Timothy's coffee shop in Charlottetown, the capital city of her home province.

Thirty-four-year-old Carol's impressive (although short) first novel, Hide Your Life Away (2008, Meanwhile Studios, Canada, 142 pages), shows a pleasing flair for dialogue and details. On June 14, she does an encore by launching A Study in Love, her first poetry book, at the Collected Works bookstore in Ottawa, Canada's national capital.

In Hide Your Life Away, Carol's protagonist, Jason Mahoney, glides along as a vaguely familiar 32-year-old grocery-store stock-boy beset by problems and stuck in a “generic small town”. This novel competed for the Montaigne Medal, won an Eric Hoffer Award for fiction and was a finalist at the 2009 Indie Book Awards.

“Being a novelist was always my fantasy occupation,” Carol said. “When younger, I thought it wasn't a realistic idea. Maybe it isn't, but I'm trying.

“Writing's very important to me. It's a big part of who I am. I need to write. It's necessary for my well-being. At times, I've been physically ill due to not being creative.

“Since I don't make a great living from writing, I doubt if it's something most people would do for money or glamour – because there isn't much. I do it because I have to – it's a compulsion, an urgent need.”

Not long ago, Carol lived in Kensington and commuted nearly two hours several days per week to write at Timothy's. There, the staff members knew her and brewed her favorite coffee. Now she has moved to Charlottetown.

“I do the bulk of my writing in coffee shops. Every now and then, someone comes in and asks me to sign a book,” Carol said. “And there's nowhere better to drink soy lattes.”

But the need to write follows no schedule. “I carry a pen and notebook everywhere,” Carol said. “I'll stop on a street to write, or when driving, which I shouldn't, but when an idea strikes me, I'm writing it down. Actually, I write everywhere and all the time. I sleep with a pen and notebook by my bed. Regularly, I wake up with an idea and then write in the dark.”

Despite the computer age, Carol prefers to write with a pen and paper. “I love the connection of pen to paper, its tangibility. For some reason, my words flow better that way. And I like being able to write anywhere. I don't need to carry a computer or stay near a power outlet.”

Initially, Carol wrote much of Hide Your Life Away in the International Three-Day Novel Competition on a long weekend in 2007. “That was a challenge I'd wanted to accept for about five years, but kept delaying and being intimidated by it,” Carol said. “It's astounding to think of writing so quickly, and I almost can't fathom having done it. I started that weekend with just the title and an idea for the beginning. I didn't know where the plot would go or how it would end.”

The setting emerged from years of observations in and near Summerside, Carol's earlier hometown. “You write what you know,” she said. “In my head, the hospital scene is at Prince County Hospital. The farmers’ market scene is at the Charlottetown Farmers Market. The fictional town pulls together different bits of Prince Edward Island.”

Carol spins the mundane intricacies of her characters’ daily lives into a pleasing mix of comedy and tragedy. Realistic dialogue and recognizable details make the readers feel like honest-to-gosh participants.

“Readers comment on the fluidity of the dialogue,” Carol said. “All aspects of writing are a bit difficult, but for me, dialogue is the easiest part. I enjoy writing it, maybe due to studying human nature. For me, it's natural to watch nuances, how people use their words and bodies when talking. It's a constant study.”

Carol even gains mileage by enduring food allergies. “The novel mentions a lot of food,” she said. “Having food allergies, I really notice food-related details.”

As for A Study in Love, Carol's friend, Kristy Gordon, an artist from British Columbia, illustrated the poems. “Kristy's a fantastic contemporary painter,” Carol said.

Many of Carol's public appearances are to read poetry. She's a member of the League of Canadian Poets.

Her second novel, A Life Within Limits, should appear soon. “I also have an idea for a third,” she said.

Along with Carol's creative work, she focuses on another huge task. She's a mother of toddling three-year-old twins. “They're happy, busy girls,” she said. “When I'm at home, they get most of my attention, which is why I don't try to write there.”

Earlier, Carol worked as a screen-writer in the animation industry. More recently, she has done freelance writing and editing.

In the 1990s, she studied “to become a psychiatrist”, first at the University of Prince Edward Island and then at Carleton University in Ottawa. So she's competent to analyze her obsession with placing words on pages.

No matter how much Carol writes, her compulsion remains: “I can't stop. For me, there's no question of retiring. Even if I had the money of J.K. Rowling (who wrote the Harry Potter books), I'd still write. It's necessary.

“I'm already doing what I want, which is to spend my days writing – as a novelist and poet. Of course, I'd like to be really successful and get my work out there too.”

As afflictions go, her “writing ailment” has a lucky consequence for everyone else – the prospect of more good books.

Dalton Higgins reads from Hip Hop World at Collected Works - 7:00 p.m.

Hip hop is arguably the predominant global youth subculture of this generation. Artists around the world have taken hip hop's blueprint and fused it with their own music, language, dance rituals and art to create something new and innovative to serve their local region's needs. In Hip Hop World, Dalton Higgins takes vivid snapshots of the hip hop scenes in Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and more. American hip hop has gone through growing pains, and is questioned for being too commercialized to articulate the hopes, concerns and dreams of marginal youth and community members - what it was originally created for. Outside the US, hip hop culture is often just the opposite - a political tool to mobilize disenfranchised communities around hard issues, with little support from mainstream corporations or sponsors.

Dalton Higgins is Canada's foremost expert on hip hop culture. A music programmer, pop culture critic, author, broadcaster and journalist, he takes his analysis beyond North American parameters to consider the social and political uses of hip hop around the globe. Hip Hop World is his third book.
