#Ukraine - Treating Ukrainian Veterans' PTSD With Service Dogs: Лікування ПТСР українських ветеранів з Послугами Собаки: VICE News

Published on 24 May 2016

Ukraine was in many ways unprepared for the war against the Russian-backed separatists of the DNR in the country’s east. Its army, after years of mismanagement and corruption, was left with just 6,000 combat-ready troops, and its hospitals had never had to deal with the kinds of horrific injuries sustained by both soldiers and civilians.

The embattled country was even less prepared to deal with the psychological aftermath of the conflict; Ukraine had not been at war since the '80s, when PTSD was only just beginning to be recognized as a disorder.

With state care for people suffering with psychological trauma severely lacking, it has been left to a number of different NGOs to fill in the gaps in treatment. Hero's Companion, a Canadian organization, trains service dogs to help Ukrainian veterans with their war trauma.

WTI Crude Oil and Natural Gas Forecast - May 26, 2016: DailyForex

Published on 26 May 2016

The WTI Crude Oil market initially fell during the day on Wednesday, but you can see turned right back around during the US session to show bullishness as we ended up forming a hammer at the top of this move higher. We are sitting just below the vital $50 level, which of course can find quite a bit of psychological resistance. The fact that we did up forming a hammer though tells me that the buyers are becoming more and more aggressive, and as a result we should break above there given enough time.
