Rosser to speak at businesswomen's meeting The Business and Professional Women's Club of Halton will focus on Women in the International Arena at its Wednesday, Sept. 22 meeting at the Glen Williams Town Hall. Starting at 7:30 p.m., there will be a presentation from Emily Rosser titled: Women's Activism as Survivors of Violence: The Struggle Towards Justice in Guatemala. From 1960-1996, a U.S.supported counter-insurgency war decimated indigenous Maya populations in Guatemala. The United Nations declared it a genocide. They mandated a truth commission, which highlighted the use of rape as a weapon of war, but the perpetrators were never punished. Many retain political power, and continue to support the exclusion and inequality of all women, and particularly of Mayan women. Rosser, who has spent time in Mexico and Guatemala will discuss this historic event in the context of women's fight for justice for wartime sexual violence internationally and for all women's rights to be full citizens. Rosser, who grew up in Georgetown, is a doctoral candidate in women's studies at York University, a Canada Graduate Scholar and a research associate with the Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC). She spent the summer conducting field research for her dissertation in Guatemala City. Tickets are $10. Please contact Connie Karlsson at 905-877-2436 or Bridget Rosser at 905-702-9083 to purchase. A donation from this event will be made to UNAMG, a Guatemalan women's organization working directly with survivors and currently providing some relief for women affected by the devastation of tropical storm Agatha in May 2010. 11 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday, September 7, 2010 PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING SERVICES By Cory Soal R.H.A.D. . . .

It appears to affect the nervous system, signalling the peripheral blood vessels to constrict as though under attack/ This triggers a surge of adrenaline and other fight-orflight chemicals into the bloodstream - a response that carries with it the potential for glandular or cardiovascular changes, in other words, unwanted noise creates the same final results as increased stress (try to avoid)!

I am now seeing five gentleman every day replied Gramma. As soon as I wake up "Will Power" helps me get out of bed. Then I go to see "John"! Next, "Charlie Horse" comes to get me. When he leaves, "Arthur Ritis" shows up, and stays for the rest of the day. He doesn't like to stay in one place very long, so he takes me from "Joint to Joint", after such a busy day I'm really tired and glad to go to bed with "Ben Gay"! The next day, a preacher came to call. He said at my age I should be thinking of the "Hereafter." I told him I do that all the time. No matter where I go, upstairs, downstairs, or in the basement, I ask myself... "Now what am I hereafter???"
