The Providence Journal, colloquially known as the ProJo, is a daily newspaper serving the metropolitan area of Providence, Rhode Island, and is the largest newspaper in Rhode Island. The newspaper was first published in 1829 and is the oldest continuously-published daily newspaper in the United States. The newspaper has won four Pulitzer Prizes.
The Journal bills itself as "America's oldest daily newspaper in continuous publication",[2] a distinction that comes from the fact that The Hartford Courant, started in 1764, did not become a daily until 1837 and the New York Post, which began daily publication in 1801, had to suspend publication during strikes in 1958 and 1978.[4]
The beginnings of the Providence Journal Company started on January 3, 1820, when publisher "Honest" John Miller started the Manufacturers' & Farmers' Journal, Providence & Pawtucket Advertiser in Providence, published twice per week.[5] The paper's office was in the old Coffee House, at the corner of Market Square and Canal street.[6] The paper moved many times over the next few decades as it grew.
By 1829, demand for more timely news caused Miller to combine his existing publications into the Providence Daily Journal, published six days per week.[5] The first edition of the Providence Daily Journal appeared July 1, 1829.[7]
Knowles, Anthony & Danielson
During the years 1863 to 1884 the Journal was published by Knowles, Anthony & Danielson.[6] These were Joseph Knowles, George W. Danielson and Henry B. Anthony. During this period the paper would reach new heights of political influence, aligning itself with the Republican party and against Irish and Catholic immigrants.[8] Anthony would become one of Rhode Island's most powerful politicians, and go on to serve as Governor of Rhode Island and United States Senator.
During the Knowles, Anthony & Danielson years, the paper became known for its strong support of the Republican Party, and became known by the nickname "The Republican Bible". The Republican party ruled the state for much of the mid-1800s, and the Journal was their mouthpiece.[8] During the Danielson/Anthony years, the paper was solidly allied with textile mill owners and big business, and frequently gave support to nativist anti-Irish Catholic sentiment.[8]
In 1877, Danielson hired Charles Henry Dow, a young journalist with an interest in history. At the Journal, Dow developed a "news index" which summarized stories of historic interest.[9] It is possible this was an early inspiration for Dow's later development of his "stock index" at the Wall Street Journal.[9] While at the Journal Dow wrote a series on "The History of Steam Navigation between New York and Providence."[9] Dow also traveled to Colorado to report on the Colorado Silver Boom and the Leadville miners' strike; these stories were published in May and June 1879.[9] On the Colorado trip, Dow traveled with a team of Wall Street financiers and geologists, leading Dow to leave Providence for New York City in 1879 to advance his career as a reporter on mining stocks.[9]
In 1863, Danielson launched an evening edition, called the Evening Bulletin.[7] In 1885, a Sunday edition was added, making the publication schedule seven days per week. After Danielson's death, the paper became less partisan, and by 1888 declared its political independence.[5]
Alfred M. Williams, editor from 1884 to 1891, broke from the Republican party and advocated for government reform, women's suffrage, and Indian rights.[10] In contrast to Danielson and Anthony, Williams had a sympathetic appreciation for the Irish culture.[10]
War years
Before American entry into World War I, Journal publisher and Australian immigrant John R. Rathom attempted to stir up public sentiment in favor of the war against the Central Powers. He frequently published exposés of German subversive activities in the United States, claiming that the Journal had intercepted secret German communications. By 1920, it was revealed that Rathom's information was supplied by British intelligence agents.[11] Nonetheless, Rathom remained editor until his death in 1923.[5]
William H. Garrison joined the staff in 1914, and became the publisher and vice president four years later, in 1918. He and his partners sold the paper to Senator Peter G. Gerry in 1923.[12]
The Journal dropped "Daily" from its name and became The Providence Journal in 1920. In 1992, the Bulletin was discontinued, and its name was appended onto that of the morning paper: The Providence Journal-Bulletin.
Starting in 1925, the Journal became the first in the country to expand coverage statewide.[5] It had news bureaus throughout Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, a trend that had been inaugurated in 1925 by then-managing editor Sevellon Brown. Bureaus in Westerly, South Kingstown, Warwick, West Warwick, Greenville, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Newport, Bristol/Warren in Rhode Island, and Attleboro and Fall River, in Massachusetts, were designed to make sure that reporters were only 20 minutes away from breaking news.[13]
In 1937, the only competing Providence-based daily, the Star-Tribune, went bankrupt and was sold. The Providence Journal company bought it and kept it running for four months, then shut it down.[5]
The paper also had a variety of regional editions, which it called "zones", that focused on city and town news. The system produced an intense focus on local news typically seen only in small-town newspapers. For example, everyone who died in the Journal's coverage area, rich or poor, received a free staff-written obituary.[citation needed]
Postwar Pulitzers
Chief editorial writer George W. Potter won the Journal's first Pulitzer in 1945 for a series of essays, and the entire editorial staff won in 1953 for local deadline reporting.[5]
Uncovering Nixon tax scandal
During the 1970s, reporter Jack White, then manager of the Providence Journal-Bulletin bureau in Newport, Rhode Island, cultivated sources among Newport's elite.[14] One source passed on to White evidence that President Richard Nixon had paid taxes amounting to $792.81 in 1970 and $878.03 in 1971, despite earning more than $400,000.[14] White discovered that Nixon had illegally back-dated the donation of his papers to the National Archives, in order to avoid a new law which made such donations ineligible for tax deductions.[14]
The night he was prepared to write the story, in September 1973, the union representing reporters at the newspaper voted to go on strike.[15] White would later recall rolling the story out of his typewriter, folding it up and putting it in his wallet.[15] He said he never thought about giving the story to management, even though he risked missing the story.[15] Twelve days later, the strike ended, and the story ran on October 3, 1973.[15]
At an Associated Press Managing Editors convention the following month, Journal reporter Joseph Ungaro asked Nixon about the story.[14] Nixon replied with a quote that was to become associated with him for the rest of his life: "People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I am not a crook."[14] Shortly after this, the I.R.S. audited Nixon's tax returns. By December 1973, Nixon, under pressure, released five years of tax documents.[14] This set a precedent for Presidents and presidential candidates to release tax returns, a custom that continued to 2016.[14] White's story forced Nixon to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in owed taxes. The story won White the 1974 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting.[14]
In 1988 the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSICOP) presented reporter C. Eugene Emery Jr. with the Responsibility in Journalism Award for his researched claims of faith-healer Ralph A. DiOrio and wrote about the results in his journal.[16][17]
In the 1990s, rising production costs and declines in circulation prompted the Journal to consolidate both the bureaus and the editions. The editors tried to reinvigorate the coverage of city and town news in 1996, but competition from the Internet added fuel to the decline.
In 1997, the Livingston Award, sometimes called the "Pulitzer Prize for the Young,"[18][19] was awarded to Journal reporter C. J. Chivers for International Reporting for his series on the collapse of commercial fishing in the North Atlantic.[20] Chivers, aged 32[18] when he won the award, left the Journal in 1999[21] to go to The New York Times.[18]
Labor troubles
In 2001, reports in industry journals suggested that the Providence Journal was suffering from labor troubles, in which a "poisoned" workplace atmosphere led to a "talent hemorrhage."[22] At least 35 news staffers left the paper between January 2000 and summer 2001, including 16 reporters, seven desk editors, two managerial staffers, and 10 administrative staff members.[22] Publisher Howard Sutton denied there was a high turnover and called it normal attrition.[22]
In 2001 the Providence Newspaper Guild filed 44 charges of alleged unfair labor practices with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) between December 1999 and June 2001. Judge William G. Kocol held a hearing on the complaints and found in the union's favor on 28 complaints in his ruling.
In June 2001, Livingston Award-winning former Journal reporter C.J. Chivers added to the allegations when he wrote an open letter to Belo chairman Robert Decherd, critical of Belo's management.[21] In the letter he expressed concern that poor management was responsible for the departure of 57 employees.[21] He accused management of "assuming a counterproductive attitude toward its staff," which included fights over expenses, and over-reliance on freelancers and interns.[21] Executive Editor Alan Rosenberg retired in December 2020 after four decades, replaced by David Ng.[1]
Financial problems and sale
In the face of declining revenue, the paper began charging for obituaries on January 4, 2005.
The paper's last Massachusetts edition was published on March 10, 2006. On Oct. 10, 2008, the paper stopped publishing all of its zoned editions in Rhode Island and laid off 33 news staffers, including three managers. Even during the Great Depression, the Journal had not terminated news staff to cut costs.
The next few years included an extensive campaign to make the Internet version of the paper profitable. The Journal aggressively marketed its news on the web, pushing to get detailed stories onto its website, projo.com, before competing radio, television and other print outlets. But circulation continued to decline and online advertising failed to compensate.
In June 2011, the Journal laid off more than a dozen employees and eliminated its Promotion Department which had internally handled the newspaper's marketing and community affairs events for decades.
On Oct. 18, 2011, with circulation down to about 94,000 on weekdays and 129,000 on Sundays (down from 164,000 and over 231,000 in 2005),[23] the Journal renamed its website providencejournal.com, a move which meant that most of the previous Internet links to its content no longer worked. It also began implementing a system to require online readers to pay for content. Interactive images of its newspaper pages were initially available on personal computers and on the iPad for free. The paywall was put in place on February 28, 2012. The new website was part of a larger rebranding project by Nail Communications which also included a campaign entitled "We Work For The Truth".[24] The rebranding failed to stem the circulation decline.
Throughout most of its history, the paper was privately owned. After the Journal became publicly traded and had acquired several television stations throughout the country (as well as cable television systems under the banner of Colony Communications; these systems were sold to Continental Cablevision in 1995), it was sold to the Dallas-based Belo Corp. in 1996. Belo also owned several television stations. The company later split into two entities and one, A. H. Belo, took control of the newspapers.
On Dec. 4, 2013, A. H. Belo announced that it was seeking a buyer for the Journal, including its headquarters on 75 Fountain St. and its separate printing facility.[25] The company said it wanted to focus on business interests in Dallas. Workers were not surprised because the announcement came after the company sold one of its other papers, the Riverside Press-Enterprise in California.[26]
A. H. Belo announced on July 22, 2014, that it was selling the paper's assets to New Media Investment Group Inc., parent company of Fairport, N.Y.-based GateHouse Media, for $46 million. By then, the Journal's Monday through Friday circulation had dropped to 74,400, with an average of 99,100 on Sundays. Its website was getting 1.4 million unique users on an average month.[27] The sale was completed on Sept. 3, 2014, as several employees, including widely respected columnist Bob Kerr, were told they would not be transferred to the new company.
Bernie Szachara, senior vice president for publishing and group publisher at Local Media Group, a division of GateHouse Media, assumed the title of interim publisher, succeeding Howard G. Sutton.[28] On Feb. 27, 2015, Janet Hasson was named president and publisher of the Journal. (The GateHouse Media news release announcing the appointment [29] incorrectly reported that Hasson was the paper's first female publisher. That distinction belongs to Mary Caroline Knowles, who was publisher from 1874 until 1879.[30][31])
In 2019, Journal parent company GateHouse Media purchased Gannett, the publisher of USA Today.[32] This purchase established GateHouse as the largest newspaper company in the United States "by far,"[32] and also provided the Providence Journal with access to publish stories from the USA Today Network of newspapers.[33]
Falling circulation
In October 2015, average daily paid circulation was 89,452 on Sundays[34] and 70,600 on weekdays.[35] By June 2017, circulation was down to about 72,000 on Sundays and 56,000 on weekdays.[36] In 2021 those figures dropped to 38,500 on Sundays and 29,957 weekdays; by contrast, both figures in 1990 were over 200,000.[3]
The paper in its early days changed headquarters frequently as the paper grew.[37]
The paper's original office was in the old Coffee House, at the corner of Market Square and Canal street.[6] In 1823 it moved to the Union building, on the west side of the bridge, and in the following year to the Granite building, Market Square.[6] In May, 1833, the office moved again to the Whipple building on College street.[6] From 1844 to 1871, the paper was housed at the Washington buildings.[6] In July, 1871 the paper moved to the Barton block on Weybosset street.[6] In May, 1889, the paper purchased the Fletcher building at the corner of Westminster, Eddy and Fulton streets.[6]
In 1905 the paper announced its move from Eddy Street to a brand new building next door at the corner of Eddy and Westminster St.[37] The old building was demolished, and the new building extended over the site of the old.[37] The ornate new building was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by Robert Swain Peabody of the noted Boston firm of Peabody & Stearns. It was completed in 1906.[38] The Journal moved in 1934 to its present building on Fountain Street where the original Benny's store was located.[37][39]

Volume numbering
Through the paper's long history, there have been some inconsistencies in its volume numbering. In 1972, when the Saturday editions of the Journal and Bulletin were combined to create the Journal-Bulletin, the Saturday edition was reset to become Volume 1, Number 1.[2] The daily edition of the paper followed suit in 1995 (becoming Volume XXIII) upon the termination of the Evening Bulletin.[2] In July 2017, the Journal announced it was reverting to the original volume numbering. The Friday, July 21, 2017, edition of the newspaper was set to become Vol. CLXXXIX, No. 1, to mark the first paper of the 189th year.[2]
In the television series Gilmore Girls, Rory Gilmore has a job interview at the newspaper.
In the Farrelly brothers film Hall Pass, Owen Wilson's character Rick can be seen reading a copy of the newspaper in one scene.

Joe Biden Launches LGBTQ Youth Program: ‘Every American Deserves to Be Treated With Dignity’
Written by Alexander Kacala on May 22, 2018
Former vice president Joe Biden, along with the YMCA of the USA, are launching an initiative to help LGBTQ youth and their families. In an op-ed written for CNN, Biden and Kevin Washington — CEO of Y-USA — reveal the obstacles and challenges faced by LGBTQ youth, and lay out exactly what their solution will be. The Joe Biden LGBTQ youth programming will first begin at selection of Ys, before rolling out to Ys nationwide.
“Today, too many members of the LGBTQ community continue to face discrimination, harassment, rejection and physical violence every day at school, at work, in their neighborhoods and even in their homes,” write Biden and Washington.
The pair cite staggering statistics that reveal the painful obstacles LGBTQ youth face. This includes the facts that “LGBTQ youth are five times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers,” and “they represent up to 40% of the homeless youth population even though they make up only about 7% of the overall youth population in the US.” They also point out that issues such as food insecurity, hate crimes and poverty affect queer people and need addressing.
“Every American deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, but too many in the LGBTQ community are denied this basic human right today. This is unacceptable in a country founded on the belief that we all are created equal,” write Biden and Washington. “Equality and opportunity for all is the way to a brighter future, and at the Biden Foundation and the Y, this is the future we are working to create.”
At first, a selection of of Ys will develop locally focused strategies designed to engage and support local LGBTQ individuals and their families. These strategies may include “staff training; member outreach and engagement; program innovation for LGBTQ youth, adults, seniors and families; and community collaborations.” Over time, the best practices and tools developed by the initial selection of Ys will be taken to organizations nationwide.
RELATED | These 5 Organizations Are Dedicated to Assisting Homeless LGBTQ Youth
“This kind of work — work to ensure everyone has a fair shot at the American dream and to build stronger, more welcoming communities — is what drives our organizations, and we call upon others to join,” the pair write.
Biden has been a longtime advocate and ally to the LGBTQ community. Back in 2012, he beat Barack Obama by publicly declaring his support for same-sex marriage first during an interview with Meet the Press.
“I am vice president of the United States of America,” Biden answered when asked . “The president sets the policy. I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties. And quite frankly, I don’t see much of a distinction — beyond that.”
Then President Obama followed suit a few days later. A book published in 2016 revealed that Biden’s support for same-sex marriage forced Obama’s hand on the issue.
That same year, Biden called transgender rights the “civil rights issue of our time.” He used that phrase again in October 2015 when announcing he wanted to end the military’s ban on transgender people serving openly. “No longer is there any question transgender people are able to serve in the United States military,” he said, while the administration was still reviewing the policy.
Biden is the rebel ally the LGBTQ community has always needed. We’re looking forward to seeing him continue to fight the good fight for us, especially when it is in the name of our youth, a population in our community who needs the support most of all.

Dragged back from abroad to face justice - the people who fled the UK after committing serious crimes
Their efforts to leave the country frustrated the authorities but they were brought back to face justice in the courts

Don't miss out on the big stories from Manchester's courts with our weekly newsletter
When criminals flee the country in a bid to avoid being prosecuted, the authorities have ways of bringing them back to the country to face justice.
Arrest warrants can be issued, and law enforcement colleagues across the world engaged in the search and capture.
Some of serious crimes in the last 12 months would have gone unpunished were it not for international cooperation.
Here, the M.E.N looks at Manchester cases where people have been brought back to the UK to face justice in our courts.
Irmantas Zvybas

Zvybas faced justice nearly a decade after committing crimes, acting as a 'foot solider' in a criminal gang which helped people illegally enter the UK.
Back in 2011, Zvybas was living in Cheetham Hill and made trips to Italy and France, where he met two Albanian people he didn't know.
He returned to the UK with them, giving them a legitimate passport belonging to someone else 'who bore physical similarities' to them.
The first trip was apparently successful, but after returning from France he was questioned at Luton Airport.
Zvybas was not arrested and was released, believing there would be no further prosecution, Manchester Crown Court heard.
It was only about a decade later that he faced justice - arrested at Riga airport in Latvia, 'out of the blue,' while on holiday with his family.
A European arrest warrant had been issued nine years earlier, and Zvybas was extradited to the UK and remanded in Strangeways.
In January last year, Zvybas, 30, was jailed for 10 months after pleading guilty to two counts of assisting unlawful immigration.
The National Crime Agency said neither of the two people who accompanied Zvybas back to the UK were granted entry.

Choudhry Ikhalaq Hussain

Hussain was 'living the good life' in Pakistan when he should have been in jail.
During his 2016 trial, at which he was later convicted of the rape and sexual abuse of a child, Hussain told his barrister that a relative had died and he wanted to attend their funeral at a mosque in the west Midlands.
As he was on bail, and was free to leave court each evening, the judge gave him permission.
But the funeral was a lie and he fled to Pakistan.
Hussain, 42, from Rochdale, had earlier been ordered to hand over his passport, but he said he had lost it and would order a new one.
In fact he hadn't lost the passport and used it to leave the country.
He was caught in Pakistan in 2019 and brought back to the UK following a 'long and drawn out process'.
Hussain had been convicted at trial and sentenced in his absence to 19 years in jail in January 2016 for two counts of rape; three counts of sexual activity with a child; and one count of conspiracy to rape.
In January last year, Hussain was brought before the same judge at Minshull Street Crown Court, who imposed the sentence and described him as a 'devious sexual predator'.
'Wicked sexual predator' who raped child ran for three years. He was hunted down 4,000 miles away - and has finally been locked up
Hashem Abedi

Abedi was brought back to the UK to face justice for his role in the Manchester Arena bombing.
Abedi had left the UK for Libya in April 2017, a month prior to the atrocity which claimed the lives of 22 people.
Unlike his brother Salman Abedi, who returned to Manchester to carry out the suicide bombing, Hashem Abedi remained in Libya.
Hashem Abedi was extradited to the UK in July 2019.
Prosecutors said Hashem Abedi helped plan the atrocity.
Following a trial at London's Old Bailey, Hashem Abedi, 23, was convicted of 22 counts of murder; attempted murder; and plotting to cause an explosion likely to endanger life.
He was handed 24 life sentences in August last year, and ordered to serve a minimum term of 55 years before he can be considered for parole.
'His sentence will never compare to the sentence we have' - bereaved families speak out as Hashem Abedi jailed for life
Michael Davis (Image: GMP)
Davis fled to Spain after being arrested.
Police searched a flat above a takeaway where he was living and found seven firearms, 145 rounds of ammunition and class A drugs worth more than £38,000 on the streets.
Those firearms were linked to a number of shootings which took place across Greater Manchester.
After being arrested and bailed 54-year-old Davis fled to Spain, where he remained at large until he was brought back to the UK on an international warrant.
Prosecutors at Manchester Crown Court said a locked bedroom in the flat in Blackley was being used as a 'safe house' to store the items.
Davis was the key holder for the flat and acted as a 'warehouseman', the court heard.
Sentencing in December, Judge Suzanne Goddard QC told him: "There is no evidence to link you to the shootings, but what this shows is how such weapons can be used in a criminal way in the crime fraternity."
Davis, of Shaw Road, Rochdale, was jailed for six years and six months after admitting conspiracy to possess prohibited firearms and ammunition.
Brothers Safeer Ali, 36, Khateer Ali, 35, and Qabeer Ali, 32, had been previously jailed for their part in the conspiracy.
Safeer Ali was jailed for nine years and six months for conspiracy to possess a firearm and ammunition.
Qabeer Ali and Khateer Ali admitted supplying drugs. Qabeer was sentenced to six years and Khateer to four-and-a-half.

Joseph Morley

Morley spent years on the run after conspiring to smuggle cocaine and heroin into the UK through Manchester Airport.
He spent time on cruise when he was supposed to be in jail.
More than 20 years after receiving his sentence, he was back before the courts.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that in 1995 Morley was jailed for 15 years for conspiring to smuggle cocaine and heroin into the UK through Manchester Airport, but he spent 17 of the last 20 years on the run across Europe.
He used a number of bogus passports and forged documents.
By May 7, 2000, Morley was allowed periods of home leave from prison.
But he failed to return to HMP Kirkham in Lancashire, despite having only 20 months of his sentence left to serve.
He was given another four month sentence in 2010 after admitting breaching custody requirements, was released on licence in 2012 but left the country after being recalled to prison in 2013.
Morley, 57, was arrested in November after applying for a passport in his own name.
Morley, of Alvington Road, Hightown, admitted remaining unlawfully at large after recall to prison and three counts of making a false instrument.
In December he was jailed for two years and four months.

Kelly Gray

Gray fled to Ireland and was brought back to the UK after a European arrest warrant was issued.
She had killed 23-year-old David Gavin, stabbing him once to the neck after a row.
A dispute over damage to a van escalated and left the young dad fatally injured.
A kitchen fitter who had been working at Mr Gavin's home in Rochdale had his van damaged.
Mr Gavin believed members of the Gray family were responsible for the damage, and after he and others confronted them, a fight broke out.
Gray, 32, arrived at the scene shortly after, running towards the brawl armed with a knife and stabbing Mr Gavin once to the neck.
Mr Gavin died following the incident in May last year.
Gray was caught three months later and brought back to the UK.
She admitted manslaughter on the grounds of a loss of control and was jailed for 10 years in October last year.
It began with an argument over damage to a van... escalated into a fist fight and ended with a mum stabbing a young dad to death

Bob Saget Dead at 65
Erica Russell Published: January 9, 2022
Emma McIntyre, Getty Images
Bob Saget has died, according to a report by TMZ. He was 65.
According to "multiple sources" who spoke to the tabloid, the Full House icon passed away Sunday (Jan. 9) while at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Orlando.
According to TMZ's report, the Sheriff's Department as well as the fire department responded to Ritz-Carlton around 4 PM ET Sunday, after hotel security discovered the actor's body in his hotel room. Saget was pronounced dead on the scene.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office confirmed Saget's death via their official Twitter account.
The exact circumstances surrounding his death are unclear at this time, though the Sheriff's Office confirmed that detectives "found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case."
Robert "Bob" Saget, who is perhaps best known for his role as patriarch Danny Tanner on '80s and '90s sitcom Full House and its Netflix sequel series, Fuller House, as well as for his stand-up comedy career, was in town in Florida for his ongoing I Don't Do Negative comedy tour.
The former America's Funniest Home Videos host performed in Orlando at the Hard Rock Live on Friday night (Jan. 7) and then in Ponte Vedra Beach at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall on Saturday night (Jan. 8).
On Saturday, Saget tweeted about his love for stand-up comedy following his show the same evening.
"Loved tonight’s show @PV_ConcertHall in Jacksonville," he wrote. "Appreciative audience. Thanks again to @RealTimWilkins for opening. I had no idea I did a 2 hr set tonight. I’m happily addicted again to this sh--."
Saget is survived by his wife, Kelly Rizzo, as well as three children: Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer.

Tweak says, "I thought I told you...!"
xavier delamere {the count of monte cristo} ( whatbefell) wrote in bellumlogs,
Entry tags: count of monte cristo, mercedes mondego
Who: Xavier and Gina
What: It's a surprise! AKA, Gina's coming downstairs and we have no idea what's going to happen ...Or it's the great reveal.
Where: 1003
When: August 1, Afternoon
Warnings: No clue. Xavier's thoughts tend to be dark.
After not hearing from the Renauds from several days left him antsy, hearing from Gina didn't help matters. Before he knew it his newest vase was in smithereens on the floor and Gina was set to come down. He didn't know where that idea came from - especially per the Count's suggestion he should be avoiding her. It didn't sit well with him that the man he was supposed to be disapproved of him. But what could he do? How was Edmond able to push Mercedes in the end? Was it a matter of time?
Xavier got out the broom, cleaning up in short time. The apartment was given a once over and decided as clean enough before he paced. Returning to the computer would only agitate him more. There was too much to think about now and to figure out what he was going to do if Gina pieced things together. But if she did, like Mercedes had then she needed to hear the truth from him - even if the last thing he wanted was for her to know.
The knock at the door came at last and he took a deep breath, before putting his Xavier illusion in place. He opened it with a small smile that stayed firm despite how she looked. "Come on in."
justonefish
At his comparison, she stiffened. "I'm not Mercedes!" she snapped, a show of backbone that she seemed to have lost over the last hour or so. Pressing her palms to her knees, she sighed. "I...don't know either...he helped my family a lot..." He didn't need to hear this. Anybody that was even remotely close to Gina knew that her family was one giant Dysfunction Junction. Between her father's love of booze and her mother's golddigging values, it was a wonder that her sisters weren't worse. Though really, they weren't exactly good. Gina was the one that made something of herself - the other two had stagnated. Once Lucas came into the picture, it was game over. With a lake of money to draw from, the Berry family was fat and happy.

Xavier filed the information away, frowning slightly. His family, at least in comparison to hers, had never depended on him. They were all too eager to cut ties. "I'll do some research," he promised once more. His hands went to his pockets, before he asked, "Can I do anything else for you?"
Somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew that his formal mannerisms should have hurt. But she honestly didn't care anymore. She felt like she had been split open, her insides scooped out and replaced with cotton stuffing. At his question, she shook her head numbly. "No, thank you," she said dismally. "I'll get a bag with some clothes in a little while...I usually take a duffel to the hospital, Lucas won't be suspicious at all."
He nodded, unsure of what else he could do for her. "Alright," he said softly. His hands shoved further into his pockets, trying to ignore the feeling of awkwardness now. There was a long pause before he managed, "I'll just...will you let me know if there's anything else?" He needed to hide in his office. Grab a vase and smash it.
Just like the hurt, Gina knew she should have felt awkward. But she didn't. Instead she just sat in the silence, appreciating it, until he spoke. Glancing up at him, she nodded. "I will," she lied. "Go to sleep, Ed-" She cut herself off, unsure of what to call him. She settled on just sighing. "It's been a long day."
He raised an eyebrow at her. Even though this visit had dragged on, it was still the afternoon. "I have work to attend to," he said simply. He gestured to the guest bedroom. "That's yours...whenever you want to head off. I showered this morning so there's no need to worry on that."
With a final glance, he headed to his office. A moment later a crash could be heard, but fortunately his door was locked behind him.

Sarah Volunteers Skills For Overseas Mission
Townsville Hospital My Health Record HHS integration officer Sarah Glendon is combining her passions for travel and health care by embarking on a volunteer placement in Kenya, providing medical assistance to communities living in extreme poverty.
The placement is part of the Nurses in Action program by World Youth International who run regular four-week volunteer placements for nurses and allied health professionals.
Ms Glendon said she was looking forward to combining travel and health care while helping those less fortunate. “I love travelling overseas and have travelled extensively. I have also always wanted to spend time abroad providing health care to communities that are not as fortunate as ours,” she said. “I made a decision that my overseas travel from now on would be based on giving something back to the communities that I visit. “The program is a great opportunity to combine the two areas and I think it makes your travel a little bit more meaningful.”
Ms Glendon said the role would complement her previous nursing experience. “I am an endorsed enrolled nurse and I also have a Bachelor of Health Promotion with a background in both clinical and health promotion roles,” Ms Glendon said.
“The placement involves a range of health-care activities including assisting with HIV testing, visiting sick people in their homes, wound management and incredibly busy medical clinics. “We will also do some health education for both the townspeople and health professionals covering issues like hand hygiene and sexual health. “I look forward to using both my clinical skills and my health education skills to try and make a difference in their community.”
Ms Glendon is aiming to raise $2,200 for the trip to further assist the communities. “The fundraising money goes towards continuing to fund the programs as well as clinical resources in Kenya and Nepal such as the medical centre and dental clinic,” she said. Ms Glendon’s placement begins next June.
