Combat Drill was the perfect choice to represent the show. You're initial interpretation of the image is that the event it's capturing are taking place in a real combat zone. But when you see it in the context of the other photos it's presented with, you can see that it's only a training exercise and there is no real danger present.
Your initial reaction is in direct conflict with reality.
All the works at CONFLICT tie into this them.
Jason Cohn's black and white series', all dealing with socio-economic difficulty, clearly have telling stories behind them, but because you don't know the story, it makes the imagery all the more moving.
Chris Hondros's image Liberian Fighter causes mixed emotions. The man depicted is ecstatically happy in the middle of a war zone. Hondros also has a very moving set of images from Iraqi framed by the window of a Humvee.
Chris Hondros - Liberian Fighter, 2003
You can see more of Hondros's work here.
I recommend that you save Larry Rippel's installation No War Here for last. No War Here is a critique of the mainstream media's lack of war imagery.
Rippel's work is the most overtly political at the exhibition, and is given greater context after you've looked at the other pieces.

Three To See over Christmas and New Year – comedy: The Harry And Chris Show 2, A Very Serious Christmas – The Improvised Panto, Shelf Word Xmas
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 15 December 2017
And our seasonal ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
The Harry and Chris Show 2 | Leicester Square Theatre | 29 Dec
"When many shows are about how depressing the world is at the moment, it was nice to finish on a song with a positive message, which some were still singing as they left the venue." Is what our reviewer wrote about this show when he saw it in Edinburgh in the summer. And that sentiment made me feel as though this show would be just the sort to take in between Christmas and New Year. To the uninitiated: expect fairly unique and funny music stylings of a comedy-jazz-rap nature. Head this way to book tickets. Quickly, they'll be going fast.
A Very Serious Christmas – The Improvised Panto | Rosemary Branch Theatre | 28 Dec
After a run at the Baron's Court Theatre in the days running up to Christmas, the Very Serious People improv troupe take their improvised pantomime shenanigans to slightly more northerly climes with this one night stand at The Rosemary Branch. Very probably the kind of high energy hilarity that will help ping you out of that self-inflicted post food-and-alcohol stupor you might well find yourself in by the 28 Dec. See this page here to book.
Shelf Word Xmas | White Bear Theatre | 22 Dec
This one's to get you grinning ahead of Christmas Day, just in case you've got a shift of hard kitchen labour and difficult relatives planned. Perhaps plan better next year, but this time maybe head to the White Bear Theatre for a night of funnies helmed by the excellent and award-nominated Elf Lyons, and also featuring the talents of Flora Anderson, Kemah Breon Bob and Amelia Stubberfield, and possibly more, if the promises of the blurb are to be believed. See this page here for details.

Bell-Sleeve Velvet Dress is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aunt Betsy from Comfortable and stylish dressy dress I bought this dress for the Christmas/New Year holidays, but it's appropriate for any dressy occasion. It fits comfortably and perfectly, and it has pockets! I am 5'1" and weigh 150 pounds; I purchased the 14P.
Date published: 2020-01-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by Diane23 from Very flattering! I bought this to wear to a holiday party. It was very comfortable all evening and I had many compliments.
Date published: 2019-12-08
Rated 4 out of 5 by Seouljai from Beautiful and comfortable I had been looking at this dress for months. Finally with a sale decided to go ahead and try. The mahogany color is not toward the brown family but more rich deep purple undertone as it appeared on my computer. I used the dress measurements for ordering instead of GH sizing chart. I am 5'4" and about 124#. I got the size 0. It is very loose through the body and fitted through the arms and shoulders. I do have broader shoulders. Pockets make this dress for me! This dress makes me look dressy but still completely comfortable. Boots, flats, heels. All work. Yay.
Date published: 2020-01-30
Rated 4 out of 5 by jg21 from Cute dress I love the look and feel of the dress, but it was too big/baggy and I had to return it.
Date published: 2019-11-27
Rated 1 out of 5 by BeccBas from Not a good fit I loved the look of the bell-sleeve velvet dress and thought it would be perfect for an upcoming Holiday party. Unfortunately, I found the fit to be horrible and shapeless. Sadly, I am returning the dress.

Just in the last few days these news items reveal the truth. Despite this the "R" word can never be acknowledged by politicians. None since Enoch Powell has embraced the truth. (Described by Richard Smith, former BMJ editor as "the best book written on the NHS". A new look at medicine and politics: 1975 and after. Pitman Medical 1976. 2nd edition. )
Link to his book published by the Socialist Health Association
Why do you think we had no PET scanners until 20 years late! Why are there waiting lists longer than any other G7 country (and the results to match)? Why have the two countries that emulated the original NHS reconsidered? (NZ and Scandinavia). Why are we only appointing 1 doctor for every 10 who apply and have been encouraged to do so by their careers officers? Why are botched operations so commonplace? Why does the NHS Ombudsman produce reports which have no notice taken? Do the politicians read these reports?
If you believe in honesty and transparency why not use the correct word? We will never win the hearts and minds of the health service staff if politicians and media and public collude in the language of denial.
Henry Bodkin in the Telegraph 14th September 2019: NHS bosses tried to "gag" father of boy whose life was ruined in botched operation
In The Guardian 30th August 2019 Dennis Campbell: 'Crumbling' hospitals putting lives at risk, say NHS chiefs – Four in five NHS trust bosses in England fear Tory squeeze on capital funding poses safety threat
Why cannot Cheshire recruit enough GPs? Pulse reported by Lea Legraien 14th September
Why do we still get fraudulent managers promoted (The Independent 19th December 2018)
Why are half of the 4 health services' trusts using out of date radiotherapy equipment? ( Andrew Gregory in The Sunday times 15th September 2019 )
This is particularly important for Pembrokeshire and West Wales as we have a long distance over difficult roads to travel to Swansea at present. Our planned new Hospital, wherever it is, needs Radiotherapy, Radio Isotope Investigations, and STENT treatment for Coronary Heart Disease if our options are to be the same as those in more favoured areas. I reproduce the article at the bottom of this post.
Adam Shaw for the Harrow Times reports 13th September 2019: North-West London CCGs dismiss claims of "rationing" services.
Kat Hopps September 13th in the Express reports: IVF: How NHS IVF treatment is unfair postcode lottery and keeps couples childless
A disgrace and a shame on politicians: "Surge in patients raising own cash for amputations". Rationig by waiting and by incompetence.
Pembrokeshire Oncology cancer services in crisis
There is a "need to put doctors in charge and force them to take account of patients' views. Cancer survival rates are (just) one of the prime examples of NHS mediocrity."
Desperate NHS needs a desperate remedy – care is already rationed
The 3 myths of the NHS…..& …No learning from other countries – no co-payments, and more scandals..
Britain ranked last (out of 20 rich countries) by a wide margin in the number of CT and MRI scanners per head of population. Australia has six times as many CT scanners per head, and spends roughly the same as Britain on healthcare overall as a share of GDP.
Why are half of the 4 health services' trusts using out of date radiotherapy equipment? ( Andrew Gregory in The Sunday times 15th September 2019 )
Almost half of NHS trusts are using outdated radiotherapy machines that are far less effective at killing cancer cells to treat patients.
The revelation comes days after the UK came bottom of an international league for cancer survival rates in The Lancet Oncology journal.
In 2016 the NHS said it was investing £130m in upgrading radiotherapy equipment but the figures, revealed via freedom of information requests, found 46% of trusts are still using outdated linear accelerator (Linac) machines beyond their recommended 10-year lifespan.
Dr Jeanette Dickson, president of the Royal College of Radiologists, said more advanced radiotherapy techniques enable "greater precision when targeting specific tumours and have been shown to be less harmful to surrounding tissue than older types of radiotherapy, depending on the complexities of the cancer being treated".
Rose Gray, policy manager of Cancer Research UK, said it was "deeply concerning" to hear outdated radiotherapy machines were being used.
She said: "The NHS has grappled with the question of how best to replace outdated equipment for many years, and the government has repeatedly been urged to put a long-term plan in place.
"But . . . that still hasn't happened. These investigation findings prove the urgent need for a solution to this persistent problem."
In total, 57 of the 272 Linac machines used this year are 10 or more years old. One of them that is still in operation has been used for 17 years.
Dr Peter Kirkbride, the former chairman of the government's radiotherapy clinical reference group and spokesman for the Radiotherapy4Life campaign, said: "That radiotherapy has been put on a lower footing than other cancer treatments — such as chemotherapy — by successive governments is an open secret within the NHS."
The Liberal Democrat MP Tim Farron, chairman of the all-party parliamentary group on radiotherapy, described the figures as "shocking".
He said they proved the investment in 2016 had been a "drop in the ocean" when compared with what is required to meet soaring demand.
Saffron Cordery, deputy chief executive of NHS Providers, which represents hospitals, added: "What we do know is that for year after year, money earmarked for capital investment has been siphoned off just to keep services running."
An NHS spokeswoman said 80 radiotherapy machines had been upgraded since 2016 and patients were benefiting from "a range of improvements" to cancer services.

Visit Cala d'Albarca
One of the most exciting activities for couples to do in Ibiza is to enjoy a boat ride.

It only opens in spring and summer and has private tables next to the sea for lovebirds.

Joys Luggage
Got my Rich black ts luggage and I love love love it! Great size! Taking a trip this summer to Sturgis!!! Can not wait to use it! Hubs is going out of town over night and one piece will be perfect for a quick trip. Feels great quality too. I am glad I got it! Also got the leather tote and it is wonderful!
Hi. My JM luggage arrived today and the pieces are perfect for my needs and I love the color (Platinum Gray). I got the weekender bag too. Really like that the pieces are for carryon. This is my first luggage set purchase in years and I am very pleased with the quality, especially since it is Joy Mangano (I've read reviews of her other luggage set/ pieces and I was concerned), plus this is so lightweight. This is just what I've been waiting for and the nesting for storage is the best.
My daughter recently ordered Samatha Brown's TS from February. Her set arrived today which took some time to get here because she ordered one of the newer colors (Caramel) and the box is heavier than mine was. No doubt it will be just right for her because she travels quite often.
I now have my eye on Joy's matching clothes-it-all and the double decker duffle.
I have a LOT of Joy's luggae and I love all of it. I didn't purchase this lastest line of luggage because I didn't need anymore.
I have the carpet bag…I LOVE IT!!!!

Are there still Quakers around here?
To the editor:
"Many people remember mention of Quakers in American history in school. Quakers settled Pennsylvania. Quakers worked for public education and prison reform. Quakers were part of the Underground Railroad. Then somehow Quakers disappear from the history books and people think we must have disappeared altogether," said Nelda Hawkins, a local Quaker historian.
"There are still Quakers around here," she said. "Salem's first Monthly Meeting records are dated September 1805 and we have been meeting in the current meeting house on Sixth Street since it was built in 1872. In 1975 Salem merged with Upper Springfield Monthly Meeting, which was located in Damascus, Ohio, and 2016 merged with Winona Meeting. Quakers have been here in Salem for more than 200 years, and we're still here."
Middleton began meeting in Columbiana in 1802, and became Middleton Monthly Meeting of Friends in 1803. Quakers have been in the Columbiana area for more than 200 years.
"Salem and Middleton Friends Meetings will each hold a special public meeting and open house Oct. 13 and 14. A member will give a short explanation of our practice and then a chance to experience a traditional meeting for worship.
"Middleton Friends (Quaker) Meeting will host their open house at 7 p.m. Oct. 13. The building is located at 44866 Crestview Road, Columbiana (actually 4.5 miles east of Columbiana). Salem Friends (Quaker) Meeting will hold a meeting at 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, at the close of the Quaker Fest. The meeting house is located at 338 Sixth St., Salem. We welcome visitors. This is an opportunity to learn about and experience authentic Quaker Christianity, in person, in real time, not in a history book," she said.
"Our meetings are affiliated with Ohio Yearly Meeting (Conservative)."

It all started in 1977 in Windermere, the Lake District, with holiday property management and lettings agency Traditional Lakeland Cottages – the oldest holiday lettings agency in the region.
In 2000 current Chief Executive Officer Paul Liddell joined the holiday letting business.
Today, under the name of Lakelovers, the passion for premium self-catering holidays has driven an exciting story that continues to unfold.
2017 was an important year for Lakelovers in the Lake District.
9th July 2017 the Lake District received World Heritage Status, joining the likes of the Taj Mahal and the Great Barrier Reef.
Also 2017 Lakelovers celebrated 40 years of providing the best end-to-end holiday cottage management in the Lake District. And that year VisitEngland announced that Lakelovers now held the largest collection of VisitEngland gold award accredited self-catering cottages in the region. Subsequently, as a recognition of the Lakelovers commitment to quality delivered by a truly dedicated and expert team, Lakelovers Gold was launched on 4th December 2017, offering devoted sales personnel to this exclusive portfolio of 100 select holiday cottages.
Before the Ruby celebrations were over, on 11th December 2017 Lakelovers Chief Executive Paul Liddell successfully led a management buyout with investment from LDC, the private-equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group PLC.
Over the next two years, as part of an ambitious strategy to drive scale in the Lakelovers business, a string of acquisitions then followed, as Lakelovers and LDC sought to capitalise on the bourgeoning 'staycations' trend.
In the spring of 2018 Lakelovers expanded outside of the Lake District for the first time. On 20th April 2018, Lakelovers and LDC announced the acquisition of Character Cottages, a luxury holiday cottage agency in the Cotswolds. This was the first of a focused acquisition trail that led to another procurement 6 months later.
Returning to the Lake District, on 27th November 2018 Lakelovers acquired family-run cottage agency Heart of the Lakes, together offering guests over 900 self-catering cottages in the region.
A little over 1 month later, the Lakelovers Lake District holiday agency added over 100 luxury holiday lodges in the Lake District through its acquisition of Lake District Lodge Holidays Limited on 4th January 2019.
In 2018 The Pure Cottages Group was launched to bring these brands together under one umbrella.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Iowans do not mince their words when it comes to feelings towards Brett Kavanaugh. "Screw you," said David Vawter of Johnston who opposes Kavanaugh. They are also not afraid to give Kavanaugh protesters a piece of their mind. "That's the most idiotic thing in the world," said Vickie Johnson.
An historic Senate vote looms at our nation's capital. "I've had demonstrators in my office for two weeks now both for Kavanaugh and against Kavanaugh," said republican United States Senator Charles Grassley.
Outside of Grassley's office in Iowa's capital, residents are weighing in on how Senators Joni Ernst and Grassley should vote when it comes to Kavanaugh's supreme court fate. "This is america. You are innocent until proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are guilty and the facts were not there," said Johnson.
Others like former Lieutenant Governor Sally Pederson believe the facts that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford claimed are being overlooked and a yes vote would be detrimental to more than just the supreme court. "By extension that makes a lot of women who are survivors feel that they are ignored and not heard and that it does no good to step forward and tell your story," said Pederson.
David Vawter of Johnston feels too many red flags should make the Senators' decision an easy no. He said, "There's more than enough going on with this guy that we should just move down his list from the federalist society that doesn't have such a muddled past."
Disregarding any alleged sexual misconduct Pederson feels it is a past that makes him unfit for the bench. "I think we saw in his testimony that he feels very partisan and it is very difficult to believe that he can be a fair and impartial Supreme Court Justice," Pederson said.
Senator Grassley believes an FBI investigation will be impartial and that's what will lead senators in a direction of confidence. He said, "Let the FBI do what the FBI is hired to do and keep political interference out of it."

Dental Care Routines For All
Everyone wishes for a healthy and beautiful smile. But having and maintaining it is a difficult task needing a lifetime of care. Even if your teeth look good on the outside, it's important to take the right steps every day to care for them and prevent any issues. For good oral health, it is crucial to use the right oral care products as well as follow healthy food habits.
It is recommended that you visit your dental hygienist in Dubai for removing stains and discolouration of teeth. Further, he or she can help you find the best dental care routines to follow for maintaining healthy teeth.
Here are 10 useful tips you can make part of your life for improved oral health –
- Brush your teeth before hitting the bed
For many of you, brushing your teeth at night is probably a childhood memory. As people grow, they stop following this very important routine that could save their teeth from most of the daily damages. Brushing your teeth before hitting the bed can get rid of most of the bacteria and plaque that accumulate on your teeth throughout the day.
- Learn the right way to brush your teeth
The way you brush your teeth makes a lot of difference in your dental care techniques. If your brushing is not doing a good job of removing all the plaque, it is time to unlearn it and do it better. The proper way to do your brushing is by taking the time to move the toothbrush in gentle circular motions.
- Clean your tongue
Did you know that plaque can also build up on your tongue? This is one of the common reason for bad breath and can lead to many other dental issues. Brush your tongue every time you brush your teeth to remove the plaque.
- Use a fluoride toothpaste
Choosing the right toothpaste can make a lot of difference in your dental care efforts. The quality of an effective toothpaste is not it's whitening powers or flavours. Your toothpaste must contain fluoride for it to be an effective cleaning agent. Fluoride is one of the best defences against tooth decay and can fight bacterial decay in your teeth.
- Learn to floss
Brushing your teeth and tongue doesn't end your oral care. Flossing is something that many people ignore due to the difficulty associated with it. But dental hygienists consider it as the best way to stimulate the gums, reduce plaque building between the teeth and help lower gum inflammation. For people who find flossing really troublesome, ready-to-use dental flossers are available in drug stores.
- Stay hydrated
Water is the best drink you can ever ask for. Not only does it quench your thirst and keep your body hydrated, but it can also easily wash out the negative effects of sticky and acidic foods when taken after meals. Make it a thumb rule to drink a lot of water for the best results.
- Watch what you eat
Fresh foods with high fibre content are the best choice for your teeth. Overly mushy and processed stuff will stick to your teeth and cause bacterial growth. Sugary foods are also a big no-no for good dental teeth. Sugar takes an acidic form inside your mouth, which can erode the enamel of your teeth, leading to cavities. Acidic fruits, tea and coffee can also wear down the teeth. Caffeinated beverages can also cause stains on your teeth. So be mindful of the food you eat.
- Visit your dentist hygienist/dentist
Your everyday oral habits are very important for overall dental health. However, you must visit your dental hygienist at least once in 6 months for thorough removal of plaque and check for cavities. If they spot any potential issues, they can offer treatments or solutions you can easily follow.
So, follow these simple steps to maintain healthy teeth and a bright smile. And contact your dental hygienist today if you have been missing your checkups.

If I spoke Spanish (which I don't) my favorite word would be mañana (tomorrow). I put everything, and I do mean everything, off until later—much, much later. This goes for planning Confirmation class and writing children's sermons (which I've been known to do on the way to church), also grocery shopping (I put it off till the only edible in the refrigerator is ketchup) and laundry (there's a reason we own 312 towels). I've never gone to the doctor or dentist when I should—the way I figure it, no news is good news! The final day to register for a class or program without penalty is the day I do—often at 11:59 PM. And sometimes, I'll admit, I have to pay the penalty—which is galling, but clearly not galling enough for me to change my ways.
You see, I live in the ProcrastiNation, and in our family I have a fair amount of company. The Seyfried motto: It'll wait! Steve can write an entire play in a couple of days, which is good because the first performance is usually only a week away. Sheridan stays in bed until 6:40 and can still catch a 6:47 train (I swear to God, and this includes getting fully dressed and eating something). Evan has vastly improved, thanks to the Naval Academy, but I still remember the quarter-long high school Biology project done in three days (this involved various types of bread and how fast they grew mold, so it was quite the challenge!) Back in the years of her baking business, Rose mastered sticking the hot cookies in the freezer so they cooled fast enough to wrap for a customer who needed them a half-hour earlier. And what can I say about PJ? He is the president of the ProcrastiNation, a man who never orders replacement contact lenses until the last pair (the pair he's wearing) has been in for weeks. Julie is a chip off the Seyfried block, as her fish swims in a bowl full of murk and her room gets so messy she has to sleep upstairs on the sofa.
We get it all done, always—eventually. Meanwhile, we're addicted to the adrenaline rush of delay, the extra spice those zero-hour saves give to life. Let others start the project on time, let others plan ahead. Promptness is for wimps. We need to bump up against the absolute deadline to get the juices flowing!
I read about fellow bloggers who map out their posts far in advance, who know what they will be writing about next week, even next month. Not me—I put off the whole project until, in a panic, I have to quickly come up with a topic upon which to expound, 500 words worth. So here I sit, telling the tale of our tardiness, as all around me my neglected household chores scream for attention. "Mañana!" I yell back to the dusty furniture and dish-clogged sink. Whatever it is, it'll wait!
|PJ will order contacts tomorrow. You have a problem with that?

December is here and that means Christmas is just around the corner. And because it's almost Christmas I had a chat with Ms. Kate (you remember her, she's the center's cruise director) and we came up with a great idea.
Good morning!
December is here and that means Christmas is just around the corner. And because it's almost Christmas I had a chat with Ms. Kate (you remember her, she's the center's cruise director) and we came up with a great idea. Since Christmas is a great time for buying and receiving new things that everyone in your family would like, we thought you just might want to find a place for some of those items you are replacing. So, we had this thought. I asked everyone who works at the senior center to think of something to put on a "wish list" that would make their working life easier or more efficient (or maybe even more fun).
So, here is the list by person and their explanation on why they would like what they asked for.
Beth, Enhance Fitness Instructor: They have some 1, 2, 3, and 5 pound weights for fitness classes. They need more. They also have music CDs that they exercise with and she would like a lap top to play them on.
Sharon, TaiChi Instructor: She agrees with Beth about the weights but, she says she has some big guys in her class and they would like some seven and a half and ten pound weights and the center has none of those two sizes. And, if there are no lap tops out there that need a home she would welcome a CD player for the music they need to "move" too. More TaiChi CDs would be welcome, too!
Bobbie Jean, Cook: She knows exactly what she would like. A kitchen Aid mixer (preferably with a 4.0 motor) that's big enough to mix a double batch of biscuits (or cookies) without overheating. Any other little helpful kitchen items are always needed.
Johnna, Environmental Specialist: (Hint: she's the one who makes sure everything is neat and clean). She was very specific in what she wanted and that's a Silver Hoover Steam Vacuum Carpet Washer that's 12amps. Right now she's using her personal carpet cleaner to get rid of those spots on the floor and if she gets one at the center she can then take hers home. But, just in case she doesn't get her carpet shampooer she does also have a need for a new mop bucket (a commercial one) with a mop wringer and she could use a couple new mops.
Valorie, Program Coordinator: If you've seen the commercial for the standup desk that shows a person removing it from the box, unfolding the desk top and then setting it on their desk, you have already seen what Val's request is for. A desk she can stand up at and still work on her computer. She did have one other request but I can't put it on this list. If you're interested in knowing what it was, come ask me!
Kate, Cruise/Executive Director: She has been trying to get the same number one request on her Christmas list for the center since I've been there (and that's three years now) and it's still Number One on her list. New flooring for the carpeted areas of the center. It's expensive but really needs to be replaced.
Bobbi G: I would like to see everyone on the list get what they need to make their job easier and to make the Shawnee Senior Center even more enjoyable for everyone who visits. Come in grouchy, go out smiling….that's always my goal.
I know that a lot of the things on this "Employee Wish List for the Center" are expensive and most of us cannot afford to buy them. But if you are replacing something with a newer or bigger model, remember the senior center would love to have your working "old one." We will, however, certainly accept your monetary contribution, whether it be $1 or $10,000 dollars or any amount in between and around!
If you have something on this list and you are looking for a new home for it, we want it! We'll take it! We'll use it!
If you have something that's not on this list, give us a call, tell us what it is and let Kate make the decision as to whether we can utilize it or not.
Thank you for anything and everything that you all do for our Shawnee Senior Center. We strive every day to make time spent at the venter enjoyable for all who visit here.
And while you're visiting pick up a calendar. Check out the menu on the back side and say "Hi" to the person at the front desk. Remember that Kate Joyce always chats with Mike Askins on "Mike in the Morning" (KGFF Radio FM100.9 or AM1450) every Wednesday morning at 8:35. They always have information about new things coming up at the Center.
Check out the center's website at ShawneeSeniors.org and the Facebook page at Shawnee Senior Center, and remember that at the center "age is just a number."
And, as always, see you at the center!

Pain Control
Pain is the result of stimulation of sensory nerve endings, often following injury or disease.
Of course, pain exists as a warning that disease, or an injury, is prevalent. Any unusual pain, therefore, should be referred to your General Practitioner to diagnose the cause.
Ease your pain with hypnosis
Pain can also often be associated with distress and anxiety, and sometimes with fear. People vary considerably in their pain threshold or the level of discomfort that they can endure. Also a person's response to pain is modified by their past experience. Factors such as insomnia, anxiety, and depression will equally lower tolerance to pain.
Many descriptions are used to express the form of pain, such as throbbing, penetrating, gnawing, aching, burning and gripping.
Pain relief
The standard medical treatment of pain is with drugs, with analgesics being used for mild or moderate pain. Severe pain may require narcotic drugs, such morphine or pethidine. Chronic or recurrent pain may also be relieved by acupuncture or hypnosis.
Hypnosis and Pain
Hypnosis has been used to alleviate pain for a very long time – probably over thousands of years. More recently, there have been several televised programmes of surgery where no anaesthesia was used. The only means of blocking or reducing the pain had been hypnosis.
The patient was fully aware of the surgery, being awake throughout the operation, yet in that lovely state of focused relaxation - we call hypnosis - he experienced no discomfort. In fact, when asked what it felt like when the surgeon made an incision, he replied his only sensation was a slight tingling feeling!
Certainly, the surgeon was very impressed as the patient just walked away immediately after the operation. There were no after-effects from more conventional anaesthetics! So, hypnosis is a very powerful and effective means of dulling major pain.
For those millions of people who suffer from chronic pain, there is also no question that hypnosis can substantially ease suffering and greatly improve their quality of life. A session with Alan will include instruction in self-hypnosis which can be used to dull pain wherever you are.
A consultant surgeon's experience of hypnosis for pain control and other conditions is here.
The common condition Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) causes abdominal pain associated with a build-up of tension and stress. The intestines are the 'barometer of the mind' and can over-respond to any emotional event. As a non-drug treatment, hypnotherapy has proved to be very effective at resolving this uncomfortable and embarrasing condition. It is the treatment of choice for the open-minded.
With all pain
• It is often a reflection of emotional feelings.
• Initially pain is a warning and if it persists should be investigated by your medical practitioner.
• Symptom relief will only be temporary until the real (emotional &/or physical) cause is identified and treated.

FREEPORT — The Town Council on Tuesday banned retail marijuana establishments and social clubs.
The ordinance prohibits five uses of retail marijuana: stores, cultivation facilities, product manufacturing facilities, testing facilities and social clubs. The banned uses do not include the medical or private use of marijuana or medical marijuana production facilities.
The vote was 4-1, with Vice Chairwoman Melanie Sachs absent. Councilor Bill Rixon abstained.
The council also unanimously awarded a contract to Atlantic Recycling Equipment for a solid waste and recycling single-sort compactor.
Joyce Veilleux spoke on behalf of about 12 other residents attending Tuesday's meeting in support of the prohibition on retail marijuana sales and social clubs.
"We like your ordinance. We want your ordinance," Veilleux said. "Please pass your ordinance tonight and get on with other business."
Councilor John Egan acknowledged the attendance of those supporting the ordinance.
"If you want to have an impact, you (have) to show up," Egan said.
Former Councilor Andy Wellen was in the minority, pointing out that Maine voters last November legalized recreational marijuana sales, and Freeport voters supported legalization, too.
"(Who) I want to be talking to are the 57 percent of people in the town who voted for (the legalization of) marijuana," Wellen said. "You'd have to have a really good reason not to support these uses when 57 percent of people voted for it."
Wellen suggested the 57 percent weren't represented at Tuesday's meeting because of the sensitivity of the issue.
"How many people want to get up here and say that they support the legalization of pot," Wellen said. "But (57 percent) of people said it in the privacy of their own voting booth."
Chairwoman Sarah Tracy and Rixon were in favor of sending the ordinance to Freeport residents for a vote.
Tracy said she was "conflicted" and would be open to passing the ordinance conditionally, as long as it was subject to a referendum in November. She noted that three of the five uses banned by the ordinance – cultivation facilities, product manufacturing facilities, and testing facilities – are commercial endeavors not "typically open to the public."
Councilor Scott Gleeson countered Tracy, saying he is confident the council can make a decision without going back to residents for an affirmative vote.
"That's what representative government is," Gleeson said. "We've been talking about this for a really long time."
After several discussions and a Planning Board recommendation last year, the council enacted a 180-day emergency moratorium on retail marijuana sales or social clubs in January 2016. The moratorium was extended in June.
In other business, with a bid of nearly $30,000, Atlantic Recycling Equipment was awarded a contract for a single-sort compactor over Maguire Equipment.
The compactor will replace the "silver bullet" in the recycling center sometime between late August and early September.
According to Adam Bliss, the solid waste facility director, the compactor is expected to result in an increase in recycling because it will make the process more convenient.
In a memorandum to Town Manager Peter Joseph, Bliss vouched for Atlantic Recycling Equipment, saying that the "low bidder is reputable and installed the solid waste compactor during 2015 to the town's satisfaction."

In WWI they were used in scouting, communication, transporting materials and combat. They were also utilised in WWII, notably during the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Images have survived that show soldiers taking bicycles ashore. Others exhibit how the paratroopers used collapsible bicycles that they would unfurl once safely on the ground.

Matthew has been really into baseball this year, and the Nationals' pitcher, Strasburg, is his hero. It was Stras' first game back after having been on the DL. Of course Matthew had to buy a Stras shirt, and insisted on the white one against my better judgment.
Jeremy is not so much into baseball, but he made it to the middle of the first before he asked to go to the playground. :) I took him there, then we got ice creams for all and went back to our seats. We stayed through the 6th, when the fun and excitement of the trip was catching up with the boys - they were clearly exhausted!

Combine first five ingredients in a blender and blend until drink is smooth.
Top with whipped cream and then drizzle with more caramel syrup.
By Deeli from Richland, WA
Make your own frappe. If you've tried the mocha or caramel frappes out there, you know how expensive they are. Don't pour out your leftover morning coffee! I fix mine while it's hot with cream and sweet and low, and put it in a jar in the fridge. For an afternoon pick me up, I pour a cup in my blender, add a scoop of frozen whipped topping, 2 or 3 ice cubes and a tablespoon of caramel ice cream topping. Hit the frappe button on the blender and you're in for a treat! And it didn't cost you $3.00 a cup!
By shirley felts from Tallassee, TN
Place all ingredients in blender on high for 45 seconds.
By IMAQT1962 from Illinois
Mix first 4 ingredients. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add whipped cream last.

I have tried to "like" coffee for many, many years; the smell of it brewing is wonderful, but I have never been able to acquire a taste for it. My daughter, however, recently insisted I try a McDonald's caramel frapuccino, even though it has coffee in it. Surprisingly, I loved it! I've had several since, but because it's a bit pricey, I'd love to make it myself. Do any TF family members have a recipe you could share? I sure would appreciate your help! Blessings.
By Caseye
I found this recipe at www.food.com I don't know if it tastes like McDonald's but you could probably tweek it to your taste.
Caramel Frappuccino
1/2 cup cold coffee
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 cups ice
3 tablespoons caramel sundae syrup
whipped cream
Combine all ingredients into electric blender.
Blend drink until ice is crushed and drink is smooth.
Serve in coffee cups and top with whipped cream and caramel syrup (if desired).
Add straw for ease in drinking.
Here's the recipe I've used for quite awhile. I prefer using 'or more to taste' of both the sugar and caramel but others I've served it to thought what I like is too sweet - LOL ;-)
Caramel Frapuccino
1/2 cup cold coffee
2 tbsp sugar, or more to taste
1/2 cup milk
2 cups crushed ice
2 tbsp caramel ice cream topping syrup, or more to taste
Whipped cream
Combine first five ingredients in a blender and blend until drink is smooth.
Top with whipped cream and then drizzle with more caramel syrup.
Thank you so much! I can't wait to try the recipes. Any thought about what kind of coffee to buy? Would "instant" be o.k., or do I have to buy a coffee pot and do the whole "brewing" thing?
Thanks again. Blessings...
Caseye, try it with instant first then try purchasing a cup of regular coffee 'to go' from anywhere and try it that way too :-) If you like the regular brewed coffee flavor better than the instant then spend the money to purchase a coffee maker, filter and ground coffee and save the instant for 'in a pinch' :-)

By neesha
Frosty Caramel Cappuccino
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup 2% milk
3 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons caramel sauce
1. In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine the 1/2 and 1/2, milk, 3 Tablespoons of the caramel sauce, espresso powder, and the ice cubes. Cover and whirl until the mixture is smooth.
2. Pour the cappuccino into two chilled glasses. Top with whipped cream and drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons of caramel sauce. Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings. I hope you like this.
Frozen coffee based beverages are quite delicious, but also rather pricey to buy regularly. Try making your own for much less. This page contains frozen coffee drink recipes, like a Starbucks Frappuccino.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
I am looking for any recipe(s) for Frappuccinos. Someone out there surely has their version that taste just as good as those sold in the stores in the glass bottles, that are very expensive.
Thanks in advance.
Michele from Western, KY
My sons think I am crazy, but I use my leftover coffee, add two tablespoons of sugar, a capful of vanilla, chipped ice, and whole milk. Put in the blender til frothy and add cool whip on top. Voila, a French Vanilla Frappucino that tastes just like the one I have paid $4.50 for down the street.Works for me. (07/07/2006)
By Trina
Here's a Frappuccino recipe my family enjoys and it's very easy.
By Judy
I use instant coffee (1 tsp) to 8 oz milk, 1-2 tsp sugar (and 1 tsp vanilla if desired) put in jar or container with lid and shake until instant coffee is dissolved. (07/07/2006)
By suzanne
I buy the flavoured instant cappuchino mixes to make them at home. Instead of mixing them with hot water I dissolve the powder in a little hot water (a couple of tablespoons, it won't mix well directly into milk) and then fill up the rest of the cup with milk. The mixes come in different flavours, but you can add vanilla extract or chocolate syrup to get the flavour you want.
You can also put it in the blender with some ice to make it more frosty. (07/07/2006)
By Trix
Copycat Starbuck's Frappuccino (4 servings)
Combine coffee and sugar and chill. Add milk and pectin, shake together thoroughly and chill again. To serve, zap in a blender for 30 to 45 seconds, or shake mixture in ice, strain and serve. For vanilla add a capful of vanilla extract; for mocha, add a pinch of cocoa powder.
Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffee maker approximately 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup of coffee. Chill before using.
Like Starbuck's Frozen Frappuccino (2 large servings)
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until ice is crushed and drink is smooth. Pour into two 16-ounce glasses, and serve with a straw.
For caramel, add 3 tablespoons of caramel topping; for mocha add 3 tablespoons of Hershey's syrup. If desired, top with whipped cream and drizzle additional sauce over top of cream.
By Mary
Put 1 cup of skimmed milk (in a plastic cup) in the freezer till it is chilled as you will be able to see the milk forming flakes. Its better than adding ice to the blender as you add the rest of the ingredients and it is rich and creamy with no added ice.
Mix all in the blender till its smooth and creamy, top it with additional creamy foam spray and caramel. Wow.
By frappulover
I like to put 1/2 cups of ice, 1 scoop of chocolate ice cream, and 1/2 cup of coffee. (03/22/2008)

The best Fappe ever. Put two cups of water, 1 cup of ice, 1 cup of coffee, and any ice cream. Mix, then add 1 egg. Very tasty try it. (07/02/2008)
By gudubachani
Here's a healthy version of the Starbucks' frappuccino:
Mix all in a blender, then add about 2 cups crushed ice (or 3 cups cubed). As soon as the drink gets thick, like a milkshake, you can stop adding ice, and it should be perfect. Delicious. (07/21/2008)
By Kathryn
Make and use coffee ice cubes, add cream, sugar, chocolate, and blend. (02/26/2009)
By Bob
I live in Florida and I need something to drink when its 95 degrees outside. I didn't have any vanilla or syrup on hand so this is what I did. Here is an iced Frap made with what I had on hand and it worked out great. Place everything in a blender.
PS. If you are over 21, you can add a shot of dark rum and kick it up a notch. (06/14/2009)

Early indications are that I am the kiss of death for four teams in the baseball division series.
A couple of days ago, I picked the Phillies, Cubs, Angels and Yankees to advance to the next round.
Through last evening's play, those four teams are a combined 0-6 this postseason!
If I were a gambling man (which, thankfully, I am not) I may have been making several trips to the plasma center next week.

How Toni Morrison influenced the 2019 horror film 'Us'
The American writer Toni Morrison, who died Monday at 88, influenced all stretches of culture, from the literature of her era to music and movies today.
For example, viewers of Jordan Peele's 2019 horror film "Us," starring Lupita Nyong'o, may not have realized that the film borrows heavily from "Beloved," Morrison's seminal novel about a woman haunted by a "doppelganger" symbolizing a secret past. This novel-to-film connection was explored in a March episode of the New York Times podcast "Still Processing," in which co-hosts Jenna Wortham and Wesley Morris dissected the similarities between Peele's film and Morrison's novel.
In the episode, Wortham and Morris pointed out that in "Us," a ghost-of-sorts comes to haunt the protagonist, Adelaide (both the "ghost," named Red, and Adelaide are played by Nyong'o). The ghost represents Adelaide's secret past, and Red's return is a grand and horrific gesture that reveals their shocking connection.
Similarly, a woman is haunted by a ghost in Morrison's Pulitzer-Prize winning 1987 novel "Beloved." Sethe, a former slave who escaped from a plantation in the South, is visited by Beloved, who she sees as an incarnation of her daughter. Sethe had killed her daughter in order to prevent her from living a life in captivity.
Both ghosts are symbols of a past trauma that resurfaces years after a drastic course of action was taken to prevent a life of servitude, the "Still Processing" co-hosts point out.
The spiritual connection between these two works appears even stronger when looking at the 1998 film adaptation of "Beloved," Morris says in the podcast, comparing the performances of the "ghost" in both films.
"It's useful to get a sense of what these characters have in common by just thinking about them in terms of what Thandie Newton is doing in 'Beloved' and what Lupita Nyongo is doing in 'Us,' and the way both of them speak," says Morris.
"It's froggy, and the voice of someone just learning how to imitate those around them," Wortham adds. "They both sound possessed."
The co-hosts also reflected on what "Beloved" says about what it means to be an African-American person in America, a country where for so long they were not considered to be fully human. Morrison's writings are considered to be among the most important in the history of American literature, and she one of the few American writers to receive a Nobel Prize in literature. In a bitingly ironic scene in "Us," the freakish doppelgangers are asked who they are. "We're Americans," says Red, a response rife with Morrison-esque symbolism.
"You and I are the descendants of slaves," Morris notes, speaking to Wortham. "An interesting thing that happens is you are simultaneously extremely aware of yourself of being American. But in rereading this book with this movie in mind, it brought home to me the idea that you also get conditioned, in the way that the Founding Fathers were conditioned, not to think of enslaved Africans as Americans."
"Not legally considered human," responds Wortham. " 'Us' and 'Beloved' are both pointing out the ways in which we don't think of the black experience as the American experience or an American experience."

I have a real-life Christian Grey and damn, he's diiiiirty.
With the introduction of Christian Grey and Ana Steele in 50 Shades of Grey, the sexy film that took the world by storm, the concept of Dominant/Submissive (or D/S) relationships was introduced to a whole new audience. Suddenly, men and women everywhere realized, "Hey, it would actually be really hot to be the submissive in a relationship."
And when you're interested in learning about and connecting to someone in this type of bond, it's important to have someone that you trust, first and foremost. Unlike the pretense of 50 Shades where Ana Steele gets pushed into doing things that made her uncomfortable, real dominant/submissive relationships are about creating a place of safety and trust—and being absolutely hot as hell, to boot. Are you obsessed with the idea of having a "master" who orders you around? Then you'd likely get pretty excited over being the submissive, as I am. If you're more the domineering type, however, then maybe having someone to bend to your will is what gets you hot and bothered.
So, after realizing that a D/S relationship was something I was interested in, I went and did my homework. After months of research and learning about healthy, well-structured D/S relationships, I happened upon a gentleman who was interested in taking on and training a submissive of his own. I was unbelievably excited to get started. Not only because it would push me from my comfort zone sexually, but also because it was new and exciting.
After some serious negotiations in regards to what was and wasn't allowed on both sides, we began to assume our roles as Dominant and Submissive through text.
Now, we both agreed that neither of us would ever want to assume these kinky roles with life partners as they are mentally and emotionally demanding on both parties — but the rewards for each of us in regards to giving up and taking complete control are intoxicating. And, I've found, better than any therapy session I've ever been involved in, in most cases.
So without further ado, here are 8 kinky sexting examples from my real-life dominant for your viewing pleasure:
1. Some days when he knows I'm working from home, he'll give me explicit instructions.
2. His instructions are explicit down to the last detail.
The satisfaction for him comes from knowing I'm doing as he commands, while the reward for me is to be shoved out of my comfort zone and forced to notice the reactions of my own body.
3. Other times, he'll text me detailed scenarios...

4. They make my knees weak and my pulse quicken every time I read them.
5. One morning I woke up angry (perhaps you're familiar with the feeling), and using keywords, I signaled my desire to role play a rather intense punishment scene.
In less than 15 minutes, I felt as though he'd hit a reset button on my brain and I floated through the remainder of the day. (Keep in mind that he never even touched me.)
6. I willingly let him take control and refer to him as "Sir."
7. His direction, control, and praise are just plain hot as hell.
8. And knowing that I make him hot makes me even hotter.
We all have things, and this is one of mine. I love handing over complete control at times and I'm relieved to have a partner whom I can trust to stay within the parameters of control I've set for myself outside of our more formal relationship.
I don't want to marry him. I don't even want to date him. I just want to know that on the days I feel as though I'm falling apart, he'll break me completely and then smash me back together, stronger than I was before.

How to Identify and Unveil the Illusions Within You
Do you know how to identify a writer? Do you really know how a writer looks like? Do you think anyone knows that?
Most people have so many expectations and stereotypes, that they completely miss out on the chances of meeting a great writer in their life. Here are some great examples of weird jobs that some writers had before becoming famous:
Chuck Palahniuk - Dishwasher;
Ken Kesey - Janitor in a mental hospital;
Stephen King - Janitor in a high school;
Jack London - Oyster pirate;
Charles Dickens - Shoe factory worker.

Intro to biking in Amsterdam
Emmy likes her "omafiets". It's by Gazelle, a large Dutch bike manufacturer. It's called "Ambiance" and has 7 gears, so it is much more advanced than a classic omafiets, which is a black single speed coaster-brake bike. By the way, "omafiets" means grandma's bike, which is not applicable to Emmy, as yet.
Lewis brought his gear-head folding bike. It's a Bike Friday Tikit, the like of which has not been seen in Amsterdam. They have Brompton's, but no Bike Fridays. No one knows how cool he is… (maybe that's because–you know). To look a little more Dutch, he added a milk crate to the back.
Rental bike shops are all over Amsterdam. Instead of renting a bike for the two months we are here, Emmy decided to buy a used bike at a bike shop just one street over from Vondelpark.
