(NAPSI)—Americans are living longer these days. The number of older adults is expected to reach 73 million by 2030.
With 30 percent of Americans serving in a caregiving role, it is important to remember that caring for a loved one can be both rewarding and difficult. Often, caregivers don’t know where to turn for advice and assistance. That’s where the Eldercare Locator—a program of the U.S. Administration on Aging and administered by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a)—Comes in. By connecting older adults and their caregivers to local resources and support, the Eldercare Locator makes life a bit easier all around.

Peace in Palestine will never happen!
The (Free) Irish have been fighting for their freedom from British occupation for a thousand years.
They don’t seem to understand Golden Rule which says “The guy with the gold rules!” and “Might Makes Right!”
Israel prefers the status quo. Seventy years of peace plans, international summits, secret negotiations, UN resolutions and state-building programs, have and will continue to fail.
The political leaders of Israel have openly stated for decades that they will never agree to a so-called “Two-State Solution”. Continue reading

In 1968, Florida became the only state to allow for its state constitution to be revisited and changed through a regularly scheduled commission called the Constitution Revision Commission. Once every 20 years, Florida’s Constitution provides for the creation of a 37-member revision commission for the purpose of reviewing Florida’s Constitution and proposing changes for voter consideration. The Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) meets for approximately one year, traveling the State of Florida, identifying issues, performing research and possibly recommending changes to the (State) Constitution. Any amendments proposed by the CRC would be placed on the 2018 General Election ballot. You can visit their web site at flcrc.gov to see all of the proposed Commission and Public Proposals, the full text of each proposed ballot amendment and additional information about the commission.
You might want to consider voting by mail, mailed to you by the Supervisor of Elections 35 days prior to the election. This will allow you plenty of time to review the eight (8) amendments being proposed by the CRC. In addition, there are numerous other amendments and perhaps a few local issues for consideration. The eight proposals by the CRC are as follows: Continue reading
