text: This portrait started as a demo for a pastel workshop that I was teaching. I wanted to show how you can achieve the feeling of light hitting the model and a likeness with having a huge set of pastels. I worked with a couple of sticks of vine charcoal and a set of 40 half-stick pastels from Sennelier. I sketch the portrait with the charcoal establishing placement and likeness. I then toned all of the shadow areas with a light layer of charcoal. For the lights, I blocked in my shape with flat color adding to it as I broken down the light shape into smaller shapes and colors.

The following information is regarding TuneCore's Publishing Administration service
It is sometimes possible to collect previously unclaimed royalties. However, it's not quite as easy as collecting royalties from the point that your compositions are correctly registered at the global performing and mechanical rights societies.
How successful this process is will depend on the rules and systems in place at the societies and the digital stores and streaming services, and the time that has passed since the original use. All that being said, it is not unheard of for unclaimed royalties from uses up to three years ago being recovered.

Could've been...
The man you see in front of you all...
But he...
Slipped away...
To put this pride in to a place of hiding.
From everyone...
I watched you wash away any chance of coming clean to anyone
My face pressed against the glass wanting to know
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Denial waits, it's here to claim me now
As I crawl down to him,
For a chance that you'll come around,
And lay down tonight.
I've done hell to my safe holding
Out for my body in such lose feeling
I blame these sad things on me
Cut a smile in my face so you'll intake some fleeting comfort
It must've been very hard
To have lived and never learnt
To be content with who you are
We all want the same things don't we
At night when the voices that come
And flame flows through the woods along the wall
We have nothing left to say
Motivate to forget so I can endure your words
Tell myself it's OK 'cause you say you're finding me pretty enough
Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing the reason that poisons you
Thinking you know what's good for us all
I wish I could reach out...
To silence you
They pretend to be the ones to be afraid of
Caressing our souls away from us
And all of the world to keep us all in line
If we just fold our hands and smile
I've been pushing stones away far from these shores
I pretend that it's all OK
Till on the brink of what can't be adored
If I could separate me from myself, I'd stay away from me.
If you decide I'm wrong, and you can wait that long, maybe it's not too late.

Staying up to date with the latest office design trends isn't easy. After all, office refurbishment is expensive, takes a lot of time, and is disruptive to business operations in general. Thing is, if your company allows itself to fall too far behind, it can be detrimental to your ability to hire and retain top talent.
Remember, office design isn't just about aesthetics, it's also about ensuring your employees have the best possible working environment available to them.
So, if you think it's time to tear down your cubicles, or that the open-plan design you opted for a couple of years ago isn't working, these are the trends you need to know about.
The Flexible Office
For most of its history, going to the office has meant clocking in and spending most of the day at your assigned desk. Thing is, that could make collaborating with people from other departments pretty difficult.
It's not something that the open-plan office made any easier either. Hands up if you know the pain of trying to concentrate while two colleagues have a discussion at the desk next door to yours.
Increasingly though, the idea of a fixed desk will start to seem foreign. Why, after all, should you be anchored to the same desk every day when the devices you work on are all mobile?
Instead, you're more likely to base your seating on the kind of work you're doing on a particular day. Some days, for instance, you might sit with a project team you've been assigned to, others might see you sitting alone in a quiet space working on a big report.
Flexible offices won't just be about employees sitting in different places. The furniture will also be flexible.
A great example of this is audio product company Skullcandy, which has movable desks in its Zurich offices that can be easily reconfigured.
Modular Design
Remember in the introduction to this article, when we mentioned that redesigning your office is often expensive and time-consuming? Modular design aims to change that.
It's an approach that allows you to easily swap out elements that aren't working or update ones that are getting a little long in the tooth.
Soft seating, workbenches, desk pods, meet point tables, collaborative and breakout furniture, and acoustic elements are things you can take a modular approach to.
It's not just about the furniture though. Taking a modular approach to office design also means that you don't have to bury electric and communication infrastructure in the walls, making it much simpler to upgrade.
Technology everywhere
In all but the most advanced of today's offices, identifying the smart devices is pretty easy. In the future though the whole office will be smart.
Embedded sensors in desks, chairs, lights, and even the walls will collect data about where people like to spend time in the office, when and where they're at their most productive, and what configurations work best.
Combine this with the innovations around flexible and modular design we described earlier, and you can see how important adaptability will be to the office of the future.
Putting People First
Anyone who's watched the office design space over the past few years will have noticed that the way we look at offices has changed.
In the past, there was a quest for uniformity and cleanliness. Thing is, people aren't all the same and they don't always respond well to clean, sterile working environments.
Companies are increasingly aware of this, designing offices for the overall wellbeing of their employees, rather than to send out a message of strength and purpose.
Things like airflow, lighting, comfort, and large-scale plant features are all becoming more important.
That's good. The best design is all about people. Applied properly to the workplace, it can turn a good team of employees into a great one.

Advocates commonly highlight the exploitation that hard-working undocumented immigrants commonly suffer at the hands of employers, the important contribution they make to the US economy, and the fiscal folly of border militarization and enhanced immigration enforcement policies. In this paper, I unpack these economic rationales for expanding immigrant rights, and examine the nuanced ways in which advocates deploy this frame. To do so, I rely on statements issued by publicly present immigrant rights groups in six places: California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Texas, and Washington, DC. I also draw on interviews with immigrant advocates in San Jose, CA and Houston, TX, press releases from two alternative national immigrant rights organizations, and an ethnographic photo-documentation of immigrant rights mobilizations in 2012-2014. Economic rationales, I emphasize, can be found in each of these contexts, but are not mutually exclusive to other justifications, including narratives about civil, human, and family rights for immigrants. However, I argue that an economic framing of immigrant rights nonetheless runs the risk reifying work over conventional understandings of criminality, often relies on a narrow definition of economic worth, and could have negative consequences for coalition building.

This is the third in a series of briefing notes setting out the key differences between dietitians and nutritional therapists (NTs).
Nutritional therapy practice is often attacked for not being 'evidence-based' in contrast to dietetic practice. In fact leading expert dietitians readily admit the lack of evidence underpinning their current practice: the 2007 edition of the BDA Manual of Dietetic Practice, page 134, states:
"Section 1.16.8 Evidence based practice ..In order to be able to access and assess clinical evidence, dietitians must be able to search the literature and have skills in critical appraisal.... They also need to be aware of a major constraint in using an evidence-based approach in dietetics, i.e. the shortage of coherent, consistent scientific evidence for much of dietetic practice."
What dietitians do regard as 'evidence-based' are the national dietary guidelines based on 1991 Department of Health recommendations. However in November 2009 the UK Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition published new proposed calorie guidelines after admitting that the 1991 calculations were flawed and inaccurate. This may have huge implications for other recommendations across dietetic practice and food labelling.
In 2009 rapid advances have been made in nutrigenomics/nutrigenetics but as early as 2002 Artemis Simopoulos of the Centre for Genetics, Nutrition and Health in Washington DC said "there may be no such thing as a 'normal' population with respect to nutrient requirements, as was assumed when dietary reference values were established", and "...populations should not copy each other's dietary recommendations for the prevention of coronary artery disease, and cancer, or any other disease for that matter". In 2006 the US Institute of Medicine President Fineberg spoke about the challenge facing the public health paradigm: "It is not just possible but likely that there are nutrients that affect some population groups differently than others, and public health guidelines will have to take such differences into account...A public health paradigm of universal education is going to have to be adapted to the scientific reality and scientific knowledge as it develops and unfolds". And in 2007 experts from the European Food Safety Authority advised that food-based dietary guidelines could not be set at the European level, at most at the national level but even then special groups would have to be considered.
So the answer to the question "Why do nutritional therapists exist if dietetic practice is evidence-based and works?" is that NTs have long-recognised the extent of biochemical individuality and the potential flaws in transferring population guidelines to recommendations for optimising individual health. Public appreciation of NT as effective and meeting individual health goals grows year on year. Put simply, professional advice for optimal health has to take account of unique dietary and nutritional needs – and that is what NTs are trained to give.

There are reports that the Cubs signed Kyuji Fujikawa for 9.5 Million over 2 years. This is a good deal for the Cubs as they can see what Kyuji Fujikawa can do in the span of two years. There also reports that go along with thus that Carlos Marmol is out the door. I would imagine the Cubs will keep Carlos in the closer spot until Kyuji Fujikawa is comfortable. Kyuji Fujikawa will most likely be in the setup role. Depending on his performance, he may move to the closer role. Carlos is familiar with this as this is how he moved into the closer role.
What is interesting about Kyuji Fujikawa is that he has an ERA under 1.50 for the last two years. However, this year his ERA went up and he played in less games. He also has less saves and less strikeouts than last year. These numbers may be the reason that only a few ball clubs were looking at him.
Although the numbers look great. They great numbers for Japanese teams. He has not faced Albert Pujols, Lance Berkman, A-Rod, Matt Holliday, or Carlos Beltran to name a few. Having Kyuji Fujikawa in setup role will give the time to get settled in to Major League Baseball. His abilities combined with Carlos's abilities will bolster the back end of the bullpen. This is a big win for the Cubs and some much needed support for Carlos Murmol.

A local man faces one charge of arson in connection with the two-alarm fire that destroyed a home and sent a mother and four children fleeing the burning structure.
DOVER — A local man faces one charge of arson in connection with the two-alarm fire that destroyed a home and sent a mother and four children fleeing the burning structure.
Nineteen-year-old Shawn Hoyt, of 8 Lincoln Ave., was arrested at 12:45 this morning and charged with the Class A felony in connection with setting the fire that destroyed the home at the corner of Pierce Street and Broadway Tuesday night.
He is being held on $5,000 cash bail and will be arraigned at Rochester Circuit Court this morning.
Crews responded to 28 Broadway at about 9:02 p.m. A mother and her four children inside the home at the time were able to safely evacuate the residence before firefighters arrived.
Fire Chief Richard Driscoll said upon their arrival, firefighters discovered heavy flames in the garage, where the blaze originated. The flames extended into the first and second floors of the home causing significant damage.
"The first-in crew did a great job in line placement," Driscoll said.
City Manager Mike Joyal, who is notified of any major fires, arrived on scene and said firefighters performed an aggressive attack and knocked the fire down.
"They prevented the fire from spreading," he said.
An aggressive attack by firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to neighboring homes, though a second home did suffer some external damage.
Just as the flames began, loud popping sounds were heard coming from the direction of the home. One witness, who wished to remain anonymous, said she saw flames from her deck nearby and immediately noticed a group of teens running up New York Street.
Mutual aid was called for on-scene assistance and station coverage from numerous area departments including Newington, Rollinsford, Somersworth, Portsmouth and Berwick, Maine.
Though the ambulance had been at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital at the time the call came in, Joyal said this was one of the rare times the department was not responding to back-to-back calls.
"All the firefighters were able to respond," he said.
According to a press release from Dover police this morning, the fire was the latest in a series of fires that have occurred in that part of the city. Those fires are under investigation by the Dover Police Department and Dover Fire and Rescue.
The Dover Police Department encourages anyone with information regarding these incidents to contact the Dover Police Department at (603)-742-4646. People wishing to remain anonymous can call the Dover Crimeline (603-749-6000) or go to dovernhcrimeline.org on the Internet.

Earlier on Wednesday, Michael Masters, the respected hedge fund manager turned 90s commodities icon, testified before the Senate just as crude oil was soaring another $4 in intraday trading. Masters effectively said that new forms of speculation are now as instrumental as simple demand in driving the price increases we're seeing.
His solution? Keep pension funds from investing in oil (as well as other commodities) and make it harder for financial institutions to forgo limits on speculative positions.
While Masters is "on to something," as far as commodities trader Dennis Gartman is concerned, much of his solution flies in the face of free market fundamentals. What we need to do, according to Gartman, is make it harder for speculators to take oil and other commodities off the market by "storing" them for long-term positions. That is the crux of the problem with speculation, he said, and when you add that into a mix of new demand from China and India and emerging markets, it creates a perfect storm for prices.
The U.S. government actually did the right thing by deciding to halt additions to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Gartman said. But in order to actually prick the oil bubble and send prices back to reality, something much more drastic would have to be done. Gartman said if it were up to him, he'd be selling 100 million barrels from the SPR, but the chance of the President doing that is slim, he said.
Until the bubble is pricked, this perfect storm will continue to transform into a hurricane, he said.
For crude, it looks like the sky's the limit.
Gartman Owns (QQQQ), (FXE), (GLD), (CEF), (BPT), (SDS), (DIS), (AGU), (RIMM); Gartman Is Short (BAC), (WFC), (WFMI); CIBC Gartman Index Is Long Hang Seng China Enterprises Index; CIBC Gartman Index Owns Copper, Aluminum, Sugar, Corn, Soybean, Natural Gas; CIBC Gartman Index Is Short Crude Oil; CIBC Gartman Index Is Short 10 Yr.

Pension Reform in the Baltic Countries
Reform of the pension regime is continually evolving in the Baltic countries. This publication contains individual country reports, comparative analysis from a regional perspective and examines key policy issues in the private pension sector. It includes perspectives on these issues debated during the Pension Conference organised by the OECD in co-operation with the EU in April 2003 in Tallinn, Estonia. The analyses benefit from in-depth knowledge of OECD experience in these sectors, as well as from experience in other emerging market economies.

The Development of Private Pensions in Lithuania
The Lithuanian pension system experienced two major reforms, one in 1995, which introduced social insurance principles, and a second one in 2000 which established a voluntary funded pension pillar. Strict regulatory measures, an unfavourable tax regime, and high social security contributions largely explain the failure to attract investors in fund management companies. After a long debate, a new law was approved in December 2002 to be implemented in January 2004. Workers will be able to choose between making their full social contribution to the PAYG tier and diverting part of it (up to 2.5% of their salary in the first year, increasing up to 5.5% in later years) to mandatory pension funds and specific life insurance contracts...

"Since when do we turn away outlaws?" – Luca
Number of Times Seen – 1 (18 Dec 2013)
Brief Synopsis – An investigator goes undercover in an anarchist group to find out who are their next targets.
My Take on it – I took a chance watching this movie and didn't know what to expect.
I actually enjoyed it very much especially the fact that as the movie moves along, we realize how it's possible to start to like the people you are investigating when you spend a lot of time undercover.
What's interesting is the fact that the movie grew on me in the same way. At the beginning, I partially regretted watching it because I felt that the storyline was very distant to me, but as it moved along, I started to like the characters more and by the end could understand what they were trying to do and why.
Another aspect that I liked was how we don't know very much about the main character Sarah and only see her based on the persona she has taken on as an undercover agent. Even in the scenes with her boyfriend, the viewer gets the feeling that she is out of place there and that she herself feels more comfortable in her persona than in her real life.
Bottom Line – Enjoyable movie. Shows what can happen when you become part of a group and begin to get to know it's members. Recommended!
Rating – Globe Worthy

Ben Perotin (COL '14) was depressed for four months before he realized something was wrong. "I had an extremely lowered mood, lack of appetite, hopelessness, suicidal ideation [and was] completely withdrawing socially," he says, speaking with a sort of clinical precision. He taps his fingers on the desk as he enumerates each symptom of the illness that struck in full force during his freshman year.
"There were some times two years ago that I didn't leave my dorm, other than to maybe eat … for maybe a week at a time. It was completely debilitating," he said.
And yet, for a long time, Perotin never realized that the feelings that kept him from eating, from engaging with his friends — even from getting out of bed — were signs of depression.
"I was thinking, 'Maybe I'm just in sort of a funk,'" he said. "I don't think anyone really realizes when they have something like that. It's very hard to self-diagnose when you're actually in the situation to put two and two together and be like, 'Oh, I am depressed.'"
The realization came when he was at home over winter break. His parents noticed that he was different physically — he had lost 20 pounds — and emotionally. They asked what was wrong, and he told them.
"[My mom] was like, 'This is more serious. … This is depression, what you're describing. And we're going to get you help. This is not something you could or should handle by yourself,'" Perotin said. "And I cried. Because it felt good at some level, because I was like, 'Okay, they're supporting me. They're going to help me. They're not mad at me.' … But at the same time, it was just, 'Oh my god. This is really horrible. This is worse than I thought it was.'"
Isolating as his depression may have been, Perotin is not alone in his experiences. A survey conducted by the American College Health Association in spring 2012 found that almost 11 percent of college students had been diagnosed or treated for depression within the previous 12 months. Nearly half of respondents also reported having felt as if things were "hopeless" during that period, and 86 percent reported feeling overwhelmed by all they had to do.
These numbers are roughly the same as at Georgetown, where about 10 percent of the student body goes to see Counseling and Psychiatric Services each year, according to CAPS Director Phil Meilman. Most students are seeking help for depression and anxiety.
"Throughout the day, I'll have moments where I just feel overwhelmed with anxiety," Joe Donovan (COL '13) said. "Everything tightens up. … I'll be walking down the street and I'll just want to curl up in the middle of the street."
Donovan has dealt with depression since his freshman spring — for nearly three years. He attributes the depression mainly to the academic and extracurricular pressures he felt in college.
"Georgetown has not been a healthy place for me. There are these pressures to succeed that only fit within a very narrow definition of success," Donovan said. "It's a way of living that fits some people, but it doesn't fit me."
Donovan said he interpreted the exhaustion, disappointment and slipping grades that accompanied his anxiety as signs he needed to work harder. He forced himself to buckle down on schoolwork, but the self-imposed pressure just worsened his depression. By his junior year, Donovan found himself unable to get out of bed some mornings.
"There's this disconnect between my thoughts telling me what to do and actually doing it," he said. "Trying to translate thought into action is like trying to crawl out from under a heavy curtain. It's a lot easier to lie there and let it trap you."
Like Perotin, Donovan had trouble identifying his emotions as depression. He felt he had to have a particular tragedy to justify his depression, such as a grave illness or a death in the family.
"It was easy for me not to accept my own struggling as legitimate," he said. "It took a while before I was able and willing to look at what was going on inside."
According to Meilman, this struggle is typical of the students that go to CAPS.
"People have different capacities for recognizing emotions. Part of our job is to help students achieve a better self-understanding, recognize issues and engage in problem solving," he wrote in an email.
Once students realize they are depressed, the prospect of asking for help can be daunting. This can be particularly difficult at a school like Georgetown.
"There's a stigma at Georgetown for not being perfect … and an exceptional pressure to to keep the facade up," biology professor Heidi Elmendorf said.
Elmendorf, who herself suffers from depression, teaches a "Foundations of Biology" course that centers on mental health issues. Every student in the class writes a research paper about a particular aspect of mental health, and Elmendorf devotes a full day of class to discussion of her own — and her students' — experience with mental illness.
Common misconceptions about depression made it difficult initially for Elmendorf to discuss her personal experiences with students, but over time that became a motivation to share her story.
"The fact that I had to think to myself, 'Woah, would I really tell them this?' made me think, 'Well now that's part of the problem, isn't it?'" she said. "I became even more committed to sharing it with my students because I thought that that was the exact sort of thing [in which] you need to tip the scales toward openness."
Lydia Valentin (COL '16), who took a year-and-a-half-long leave of absence after experiencing a severe depressive episode during her first semester at Georgetown, took Elmendorf's class in fall 2010 and recalled being shocked by Elemendorf's discussion of her own illness.
"It was so remarkable because you would never know. She's there every morning with so much enthusiasm and so much eloquence. It's just incredible to hear that she's struggling with this thing that takes such a toll on so many people, that takes such a toll on me," Valentin said.
According to Elmendorf, many of her students' reactions are similar to Valentin's.
"I think it's because I don't look like many people's perception about what it's like to be depressed," she said. "People somehow see depression as the thing the successful person is not, and there's a misconception that if you're depressed, you're just getting by."
For Perotin, the opposite is true. He believes his drive stems largely from his depression.
"I always say the reason I'm successful is that I have this insatiable desire to succeed and this crushing weight of expectations," he said. "A lot of successful people are very troubled. And it's not like I want to be depressed to be like them … but I do I really want to relax and just be okay with my life? … How can you be successful if you're happy — ever?"
Michelle Johnson (COL '15), a psychology major who went through a period of depression and anxiety during midterm season this semester, said that a lack of dialogue about these illnesses is part of what makes them so isolating and dangerous.
"At Georgetown, people joke all the time about how stressed out they are [or] how little sleep they got, but it's sort of taboo to talk about your actual stress. It's taboo to say, 'This is affecting me seriously,' and that's really dangerous," she said.
When her mother pointed out how much she had changed and persuaded her to ask for help, Johnson turned to professors and her dean — all of whom reassured her and offered their support — but she never sought professional counselling.
"I think I saw CAPS as an extreme that wasn't necessary for a case like mine, and that might have been a mistake," she said. "We don't want to be associated with … 'psychiatric services.' We don't want to admit to ourselves that we've gone that far."
Elmendorf said that this attitude toward CAPS is common.
"Going to see CAPS feels like … a formal declaration that you're officially struggling," she said.
Instead, many of Elmendorf's students come to her asking for advice, just as Johnson sought help from her professors. Elmendorf says her own depression makes her a particularly appealing "sounding board" for students trying to figure out what they are feeling.
"Depression gives me challenges in life, but the silver lining is it has given me empathy and capacity to be there for my students, which I think is the job of adults on this campus. … In that way, I think of it as a gift," Elmendorf said.
Donovan and Perotin both went to see CAPS, but neither had particularly positive experiences. Both agreed that counselors at CAPS were well-intentioned but ill-equipped to handle the kinds of severe depression they described.
Perotin said that his counselors at CAPS pressured him to take a medical leave of absence during the spring of his freshman year when they saw that his illness required more extensive therapy.
"I can understand from their perspective why the whole medical leave of absence might be an appealing option, but it needs to be handled in a better way, because it makes the student feel like they don't have a choice," he said.
Donovan, who first visited CAPS during his junior spring after struggling with depression for almost two years, also said that the counseling was not hugely helpful.
"[The counselor] basically told me 'I have no idea what is wrong with you.' And I was looking for direction at that time, so to hear someone say that they didn't know what was wrong was not a comforting thing," he said.
CAPS, however, would argue that Donovan and Perotinare anomalies. Meilman declined to comment on Perotinand Donovan's experiences, but according to a CAPS survey of students who have used their service, 90 percent of students said they benefitted from counseling and half said that the guidance they received helped them academically.
Valentin said that counseling from CAPS has been a critical component of addressing her depression. She regularly met a CAPS counselor before taking her leave of absence in the middle of fall 2010 and resumed therapy with the same counselor upon returning to Georgetown this fall.
"It's hard to connect with anyone, but he's been really helpful," she said. "He listens … but at the same time he helps me discern my behaviors. … He helps me to see the qualities that I never see in myself. He gives me that vicarious strength."
Nearly every student who suffers from depression must find his own way of cobbling together a coping strategy. Donovan, Perotin and Valentin all take medication that helps them deal with their illnesses. They seek outside support as well — from friends, family and professors but also through hobbies like writing and music.
"I am still struggling with this, but the thought of doing it all without my family, without my support system … I'm incredibly lucky to have that," Donovan said.
Valentin stressed the importance of unexpected acts of kindness in hedging against her depression. She recalled an afternoon in O'Donovan Hall when a girl she didn't know smiled at her as she walked by. Valentin was so surprised by the anonymous smile that she started smiling back.
"Smiling at a stranger makes a world of difference," she said. "We're all going through something. Maybe that's the only smile someone will see in their entire day, and people who are suffering so greatly inside can have at least one positive thing happen to them."
Perotin said he tries to keep his mind occupied in order to prevent negative thoughts from seeping in.
"If I give myself too long without anything to think about … these interior voices always crawl back up and are like, 'You're worthless, no one likes you, you have no future, you're always going to feel depressed,'" he said.
To keep out these thoughts, Perotin listens to music constantly — while walking to class, while waiting for a bus — and immerses himself in schoolwork and mock trial.
"I think that the times that I'm most happy are during finals week," he said, laughing. "I don't do vacation well."
Even so, Perotin said there are days when determination is all that keeps him going.
"Sometimes I can treat [my depression] as an invasive organism … like it's a bully in my head and I have to actively defend myself. … But emotionally and personally, I'm more afraid it's just a part of me. And then it's pure willpower. You can argue all you want, but in the end, you have to will yourself on and continue living your life and use that as a way to spite it."
Johnson emphasized the need for a broader conversation about mental illness on campus. She said she's amazed sometimes to find out that some of her friends who never seemed to have a problem are actually struggling with depression.
"It's shocking how good we are at concealing these things," she said. "But this is an issue that spans kids our age, and we need to be able to talk about it."
Donovan agreed.
"Dealing with pressure is something that is, if not universal on this campus, then close to that. But no one talks about it. … Everyone puts on that mask, and then it becomes easy to feel isolated," he said. "A lot of the conversations about these things tend to happen on a one-to-one basis. … But if the conversation was brought into a group setting, then it becomes a community issue, and that's how we can start to have an institutional change."
According to Elmendorf, Georgetown has made efforts to expand discussion about depression on a more institutional level during her 14 years teaching here. Her "Foundations of Biology" course is part of the Engelhard Project, an interdisciplinary program initiated in 2005 to bring discussion of mental wellness issues into Georgetown classrooms. More than 50 faculty members in 25 departments teach Engelhard courses each year, incorporating discussion of mental health into their syllabi in a variety of ways. Elmendorf said that the Engelhard Project has helped launch a broader conversation about mental health on campus.
"I think having brought the discussion into the classroom makes it feel like it's a part of who we are in an important way," she said.
Donovan concurred, explaining that openness has been helpful to combating his own depression.
"I do think that dealing with depression has shaped me in a lot of ways. It's taught me that I need to be honest with myself, that I can define meaning and purpose in my own ways. It's helped me be a better listener … and led to a lot of really wonderful relationships," he said. "But at the end of the day, I don't know what conquering depression will mean, or what that would look like. But I'm confident that I will."

Nearly every shot in winter is more difficult that in summer. Wet and muddy conditions lend themselves to more heavy strikes, leaving you covered in mud having only advanced the ball a fraction of the distance that you had intended.
With this in mind, it is important to be able to create an efficient strike in order to hit the shots that are required.
I know from experience, that throughout the winter months, you are often required to hit a low shot when faced with an approach to the green which is into a forceful wind. Unfortunately however, I hear a lot of conflicting advice.
One of the most common suggestions I often hear or read, is that you should move the ball to the back of your stance and hit more down on the ball in order to keep the ball down.
In principle this seems a logical idea. Placing the ball back in the stance will help to reduce the amount of loft on the face, lending itself to a much lower ball flight. It will however, create a list of issues, one of which is the quality and consistency of the strike.
As I have written in one of my previous articles, when Pitching I prefer my players to have a very SHALLOW angle of attack into the ball. In my opinion, the lower you can keep the club to the ground, the more likely it is for you strike the ball properly.
Think about skimming a stone across a pond. Throw the stone from too high, it simply plunges into the water. From just above the water line on the other hand, can produce a long skimming stone that lightly skips across the surface.
For me, this method would apply to hitting a low golf shot. Instead of placing the ball at the back of your stance, place the ball in the middle, or very slightly behind! This will help to you keep the club closer to the ground, leading to a more consistent strike.
So how do you keep the ball down then? I hear you ask. Simple
If the shot requires an 8 iron, use a 6 instead. The naturally less lofted face, and the longer shaft length will mean that you don't have to swing the club harder to hit the ball the same distance. Not only will it help to increase the consistency of strike, and the slower speed also helping to reduce the ball's initial launch angle, there will also be another added benefit – LESS SPIN.
So by playing the ball in the middle and using a less lofted club, not only do we achieve the lower initial launch angle required to start the ball low, but we also reduce the amount of spin on the golf ball, keeping the ball low throughout its flight.
Try this next time you are faced with a shot into wind.
Happy Golfing!

Warner Bros. has an interesting program that they've recently expanded a bit—mail in an old DVD movie along with $5 to swap it for the newer, Blu-ray version. After mulling it over, I think I like the idea.
It's $5 to upgrade most titles (some run a few bucks more)—titles I really would rather rewatch in HD because, to be honest, all of my SD DVDs have looked a lot less appealing since upgrading the old home theater system. There are shipping charges and up to a two-month turnaround, but if you exchange 7 or more movies, at least the shipping is free.
Only 90 titles are offered at the moment, which, to be fair, surely has at least a touch of correlation with the fact that Warner Bros still doesn't have their entire catalog released in BD. But premium titles, like the Batman films, are off the table.
I mean, I think the deal is OK. Warner Bros. isn't doing charity work here, but they're not completely insulting us, either.
But where I think the deal could be very appealing is if you were to pick up used WB DVDs for a buck or two, then mail them in, scoring yourself a $7 BD movie rather than spending double that or more.
Now, I'm too lazy to enact such a plan. But maybe you're not.
Either way, how do you feel about the offer? [WB]

Melodie Yvonne Ramey grew up in the small southern Indiana town of North Vernon. Her love of photography began at the age of 5 when her family would go on Sunday drives just to take pictures of the countryside and marvel at nature. She then grew her ability by turning her friends into models to learn about photographing people and turning every trip to even just the local park into a fantasy scene of her own imagination. Melodie spent her teen years learning from and mentoring under professional photographers such as The Grand Conundrum and John Sheckler. She received an Associates of Applied Science in Visual Technologies from Ivy Tech in 2002 after studying photography under acclaimed photographer Darryl Jones and many other masters in the field.
Melodie moved from North Vernon to Indianapolis to better pursue her career in photography in 2002. She founded the Southport Artistry Committee in July of 2010 to help other artists grow and network and also to help her current home of Southport take a broad step into the spectacular Indianapolis arts scene. Melodie ?has done numerous art shows and photo jobs around southern Indiana. She has taken many types of jobs from general portraiture to working for bands on the local Indianapolis scene, and she has even had the privilege to be the official photographer on many southern Indiana Poker Runs. Her specialties are in black & white and digital photography. Melodie still does photography jobs occasionally, but has spent the last few years concentrating on her artistic photography and creating works of art to share another side of her chosen trade.
says, ?I started out with a Tweety bird camera and a dream and I never let go. I will always love photography and the vessel it has given me to share the images of my heart and mind with the world. I have found that every single person on this earth visualizes the world in very different ways. Some people are optimists, some are pessimists. Some people are daydreamers, and others keep their feet firmly planted on the ground. Artistic photography allows me to show some of these different visualizations. It allows the rationalist to see that it's okay to dream, it can show the monsters hidden in the dark, and it can show even the saddest of people that there is still joy in the world.?

Young Enterprise Scotland's (YES) aim is to inspire young people to learn and succeed through enterprise. Each year they support over 15,000 young people across Scotland. One way they support young people is through the Pathways Programme. Pathways supports students aged 12–18 who face barriers to accessing formal education and employment, getting them out of their normal routines and comfort zones.
YES approached us because Pathways wasn't getting the attention it deserved. They had worked with over 20 schools since launching in 2015 and saw that there was room for more young people to get involved. Internal promotional materials had not been successful and, because staff weren't sure about how to talk about Pathways, the message was inconsistent. They asked us to look at the message, revitalise the way they were talking about Pathways and help them show the world the positive impact the programme makes.
YES had collected plenty of information about Pathways, including positive statistics and case studies. There was a story in this information that was yet to be uncovered. We identified an evidence-focussed approach would lead the reader through the information and create a convincing case for Pathways.
YES staff visit schools and events often to talk to students, teachers and department heads. These visits are their opportunity to talk about the great work YES does, so they need to have the right material on hand. These interactions are brief or on the fly so this material would have to be small enough to fit in a trouser pocket or small bag.

Ryan and Schvartze?

Is it possible? Tell me it isn't so, Paulie R! Several media outlets, including CNN, report that Rep. Paul Ryan's college sweetheart was a black woman. And if that wasn't bad enough, his sister-in-law is black, too. This interracial activity cannot be tolerated by the Republican Party in 2012. One has to wonder if Mitt "My Running Made Dated a Black Chick" Romney did a background check on Ryan before he made his decision for V.P.
The fact that Ryan dated a negro immediately reminds me of Clayton Bigsby, the black white supremacist who was made famous by Dave Chappelle on the Chappelle Show. Having a Republican candidate for vice-president who had interracial relations is as hypocritical as Clayton Bigsby.
Mr. Bigsby espouses the Republican platform on interracial dating more accurately than this reporter ever could when he was quoted as saying: "N*****s, Jews, homosexuals, Mexicans, Arabs and all kinds of different chinks stink. . . . and I hate them all!"
Watch for yourself and tell me this doesn't remind you of Paul Ryan:

Name: Clickbank University
Website: www.Clickbank.com/university
Type of Business: Clickbank affiliate marketing
Price: $47/ month with up sells of $297/ year and $97 (one-time)
Owners: Adam Horitz and Justin Allen.
Overall Rank: 70 out of 100 (Green light)
Clickbank is the biggest and most reliable digital product vendor on the web.
In fact, it was actually one of the first few online business websites that I know of 4 years ago when I first started internet marketing as Clickbank is the main hub for affiliate products.
I got to know of Clickbank University through their own website as I was browsing through new products to buy on dating (I wanted to impress a girl).
So I was clicking all over Clickbank but somehow, it lead me back to the Clickbank University promotion and since the course was released again on December, I thought of giving it a try and see what new updates they have.
So do bear with me as this is going to be a long review!
Pros and Cons
- Perfect for newbies (Lessons are simple),
- High quality videos,
- You can actually make some decent money.
- Clickbank is an established company so they have great customer support and it's easy to get a refund.
- Too expensive for simple lessons that barely touch the surface on promoting affiliate products.
- Their lessons do not cover much of SEO which is essential in order to have a successful website.
- Locked modules which doesn't allow you the freedom to access other lessons at your own pace.
- Too much information that it can be a bit overwhelming.
- They used to have a 7-day trial but they removed it soon after.
- Training is only catered to promoting Clickbank products and NOT other affiliate opportunities.
- Clickbank doesn't provide promotional tools such as banners which means that you have to ask from the vendors themselves and see if they provide.
- Although ClickBank is a reputable site, the vendors on the other hand has very high rates of refund due to its 60-day policy (Some products have 90-day money-back guarantee).
Golly that's a lot of cons! Gotta check out my #1 recommended program here instead!
What is ClickBank University?
Ever felt curious on how people make money online legitimately?
There are a lot of methods which people use to make money which are really unethical such as stealing credit details and spamming honest communities to buy their scam products, but one of the most legitimate method of earning online is actually through affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is basically selling other people's products and leveraging their hard earned fame to get a percentage of commission based on your sales.
Think of it like a salesman in real life, only that now you're doing it online…in your pajamas.
But in affiliate marketing, you can actually choose whatever products it is that you want to promote so how do you find these products?
That's where Clickbank comes in.
Clickbank is an online marketplace where vendors can put up their products and affiliates can choose which ones to help sell for commission.
Pretty easy huh?
That's not the hard part.
You still need to know how to promote your chosen products online, which mediums is great to sell on, and how to convince people to buy and THAT is what Clickbank University is all about.
It's basically a course to teach you how to sell their stuff.
Tools and Training
Like many educational course, Clickbank University also have its own tools and training.
As you can see from the picture of the member's area navigation menu, there are:
1) Home
This is basically just a page where Adam and Justin will welcome you.
2) Orientation
A show around on how to use Clickbank University member's area and those confusing tabs.
3) Site Builder
As the name implies, this part shows lessons on how to build a site such as how to build a sales page and planning your own sales funnel.
I couldn't access this area though, because I didn't pay for the website builder upsell (I will explain the pricing strategy later on)
4) Beginners
The first tab everyone will click on which will cover an 8 weeks' worth of modules to learn.
The lessons cover more on creating your own products, learning how to create a sales page and driving traffic to it.
5) Advanced
More advanced lessons which I would say is just a fancy word for "Week 9, 10, and so on" which basically just covers more on driving traffic.
6) The Affiliates Training
Alright so the Beginners area was meant to teach you on becoming a vendor right?
So that means the Affiliates training is aimed at teaching you on how to become an affiliate simple as that.
I like Affiliate Marketing mainly because I can just help other entrepreneurs sell their stuff in exchange for a sweet commission (From 50%-75%).
It gets even more interesting knowing that Adam and Justin is also into affiliate marketing as well (it's no surprise as they do work with ClickBank after all) so the lessons for this section is based on their own experiences which include:
- PPC ads and how to do it effectively
- A very quick class on creating backlinks and the importance of them
- How to create an emailing list and market to that list
- Social Media marketing tips
- A class on SEO and the best practices to use
7) Live Seminar Classes
One of the best parts of the module because the video seminars are based on Clickbank's Top Sellers.
You will be taught on what methods these ClickBank sellers are using and how do they get to where they are.
8) University talks
Similar to the live Seminar classes which are taught by the top ClickBank sellers, university talks is hosted by Justin and Adam themselves.
9) Done for you
Truth be told, I find this pretty ridiculous.
The "Done for you" part as the name implies is where you can pay ClickBank University for them to build a website for you and it depends on how much money you are willing to spend for them to tailor a website around your likes and passion.
My advice is to NOT opt for this one because again, building a website is free even if you have no prior skills or knowledge. (Here's my blog post on that!)
10) Community
This part is just a forum where you can post questions and hope to be answered.
Who is Clickbank University for?
Definitely for beginners who are new to the world of Internet Marketing.
I have to admit, there are great lessons which are also really attractive and fun however veterans or those who have been in this game long do not find this really helpful as ClickBank University doesn't cover the essential lessons such as SEO and keywords
To make matters worse, the lessons are also locked which means that you can't just stray away from your scheduled lessons – you NEED to do them one step at a time.
This means that you won't have the freedom to learn as you please which is also a trick ClickBank University uses to get more time out of the users hence more money as you will of course be paying for since you can't finish all those lessons in a month.
This is also one of the main reasons as to why it can never beat my top ranked program which is more detailed and evergreen.
Pricing Strategy
Clickbank University used to charge a whopping $97 per month (Ridiculous pricing) with a 7-day $1 trial but now they removed that trial as they reduced the price to $47 per month which means that even if you want to have a peek inside, you need to pay $47.
Guess they finally realized that $97 a month is a bit too much eh?
Take a look at the ClickBank University Funnel below…
Don't get your hopes up high yet, because ClickBank Unversity still have some tricks up their sleeves on sucking more money from you.
Even though they reduced the price to $47, they also locked some features which are:
- Clickbank Builder – $297/year
- Advanced Master Classroom – one-time fee of $97.
So supposing you want full access on ClickBank University, well that will cost you a whopping $861/year plus a one-time fee of $97!
Due to the unethical price range which will drain your money faster than the amount you earn, this is one of the main reasons as to why it will never match up to my top ranked program.
Does it offer quality support?
ClickBank University has one of the best supports I've seen out there.
Clickbank has always had great service and I believe it is because they have been around for a really long time.
They do however, fall short on an online community which is really important for the users to communicate with each other as making friends will not only ensure trust and hope, it is a way better source of help than customer service.
The only community I see in Clickbank University is through forums which frankly, isn't actually a proper community.
Instead, it's a discussion on a particular thread.
It's very rarely that online business companies provide good customer support because most of them are too busy filling their own pockets so they won't really care about their users' well-being.
Support is an important aspect of any business and product because there are a lot of scam gurus out there who like to sell hype but not giving back what they promised.

My Take on Affiliate Marketing
Call me old school but when it comes to affiliate marketing, I like to do it the old fashion way – by building a "proper" website according to your passion, getting it to appear on the first page of Google search and monetizing it.
Why I say "proper" is because I have come across so many scams that teaches shortcuts to make money through a website.
I have no problem with shortcuts but I DO have a problem if those shortcuts are unethical and illegal within Google.
To have a successful affiliate marketing business, you need an authority website that is NOT built solely to put in promo links because Google will see that as a spam.
So why Google you might ask?
Take a look at this…
To have endless traffic (Visitors) that will go to your website forever, you NEED to have your website on the first page of Google and having proper education on website SEO is important for that which is how I managed to get my site up there (Still so psyched!).
Because when you have your site on the first page, traffic will go to your site non-stop which means that you will be making money even when you sleep because once you have traffic, your awesome website will do the conversions for you.
There is a term for that and it's called SEO which I learned from my #1 recommended program Wealthy Affiliate which is something lacking in Clickbank University.
My Final Verdict
ClickBank University is actually pretty cool and will actually make you some money.
However due to the unreasonably high cost which will drain your money before you even make any profit , the lack of proper community as well as the shallow lessons which barely touch the surface on SEO, ClickBank University receives a rating of 70 out of 100 and is still a pretty LEGIT course.

Families Sue New York State to Stop the Repeal of the Religious Exemption to Vaccines
Albany, NY—Attorneys Sussman and Kennedy filed a lawsuit in New York State (NYS) Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of the NYS legislature's June 13, 2019 repeal of the religious exemption to vaccination, Public Health Law Section 2164(9). The plaintiffs, 55 NYS families who held lawful religious exemptions, request that the court enjoin the enactment of the repeal temporarily, preliminarily and permanently.
The plaintiffs are of diverse religious faiths, including Christianity, Judaism and Islam. As a result of the repeal, these families can no longer educate their children in any schools or camps in New York without violating their religious faith. The parents who bring the suit seek to represent thousands of other families likewise affected by the repeal.
The complaint argues that the repeal violates both state and federal law. And, the repeal of this longstanding religious right, without a single public hearing, unreasonably interferes with religious freedom.
"To deprive families of the rights to freedom of religious expression, parental rights, and the right to either a public or private education, the state must demonstrate a "compelling state interest" that the state has failed to prove here," said Sussman.
Furthermore, the state must act with neutrality towards all religious faiths and may not display impermissible animosity or hostility to religion. Yet, in this case, many NYS legislators showed great animosity to those with religious exemptions, calling the nature of the exemption "utter garbage," "a myth and fabrication," "a loophole," and many other slurs.
While irreparably harming plaintiffs and similar families, the state has failed to prove even a rational basis to mandate all the vaccines on the NYS schedule to those who hold genuine, sincere religious beliefs against them.
Kennedy, Chief Legal Counsel for Children's Health Defense, stated,
"Religious rights are fundamental. It is unconstitutional for the state to deprive people of such important rights when religious animus has played a key role. To enact such harsh legislation without any legislative fact-finding, and with the legislators' open display of prejudice towards religious beliefs different than their own, is simply un-American; it is essential that we fight this."

Mardi Gras Make Your Own Mask
With Mardi Gras seemingly early this year, the stores have been stocked with King Cakes, beads, masks and decorations. My kids are already getting excited so we thought it would be a great theme for my son's recent 3rd birthday.
The kids created their own Mardi Gras mask. I purchased plain masks, feathers, glitter stars, stickers, ribbon and other bobbles. I set out the accessories in a plastic veggie tray so the kids could easily access them. I also set out tape, glue and scissors.
The masks were spectacular and everyone enjoyed making them. Make one of your own for Mardi Gras this year. (or your own Mardi Gras-themed party anytime. We also played Zydeco-musical chairs.)

Par Solidarité
Hollande is calling this an act of war. I wish we had more to offer than hashtag activism, but that's probably all you're getting out of Barry's regime. But despite our inherited tendency to mock the French, they are arguably the second most potent military power in Europe after the Russians. In retrospect, it may not be the very best of ideas to mess with people whose national anthem roughly translates as this:
Though, they don't sing those lyrics anymore, just like the Germans don't sing the "Deutschland Uber Alles" part of "Deutschland Uber Alles" anymore. But I'm going to bet you'll be seeing a lot more of the forbidden lyrics being sung if this kind of shit keeps up. Arguably the biggest casualty of this evenings events will be the European Union.
The big question in my mind is whether the French are going to cozy up to Vladimir Putin because we're mostly useless as allies these days.
14 Responses to "Par Solidarité"
Oh they sing those lyrics all the time. It's the refrain to the song. Look at any French national team soccer match. Even when Sarkozy was elected in 2007, the sang those lyrics.
Hard to make out the words since they're French and I'm not, but this crowd seems to be singing the same:
"Why do the French plant trees along the road-side? So the Germans can march in the shade."
Apparently there were marches in Germany, as news got out, and it wasn't in solidarity with they Syrians, and when Germans get their marching boots on things, happen in Europe.
The Islamic State is not a "terrorist group" – they are a state actor. They have territory, laws, an economy, perform international trade, and possess a military capable of seizing and defending wide swaths of territory from professional militaries.
So France was attacked by a foreign power who claims responsibility.
Where's NATO?
ISIS is no Al-Qaeda. They are pretty clear about their intent to establish a fully functional, global caliphate. They already have plenty of territory and their leaders have no problem saying (far-fetched or not) that eventually, European lands will be in their path.
And I'm sick of the progressives here screaming about how if we "Just pull out of the Middle East" ISIS will stop attacking the west. These primates are raping, enslaving, and killing plenty of their fellow Muslims in Iraq and Syria. They don't care where you live or what you believe, if it's not their ridiculous set of beliefs you deserve to die.
How about we pull out, and if they try anything, we kill them all?
That progressive enough for you?
Try anything where exactly? Here in the US? Turkey? The UK?
We can't pretend this is some decentralized group of terrorists, we need to realize that they are how Patrick explained above: For all intents and purposes they are a de-facto nation. They don't just attack to tell the west to "get out", they want to expand their caliphate. These attacks are a means to an end.
The time to kill them all was back in 2007-2008 when it was still known as "Al-Qaeda in Iraq" to us, nothing more than a loose collection of insurgent groups operating out of Al Anbar. The surge weakened them and they were facing backlash even from their fellow Sunnis. Now they've been doing nothing but growing since 2009, and arming them in Syria was one of the biggest mistakes we've made.
I will agree not getting involved in the first place would have been preferable, but what's even worse is getting involved and either doing a half-ass job of knowing who we're supporting/opposing or just leaving with absolutely no regard for what the current situation is.
France is not part of NATO. They like to go it alone. They have to be the leader, or they don't play. Look up the definition of "snob", and you find a picture of a Frenchman.
France is part of Nato.. a quick google search proves that.
I guess the real question now is, what response occurs?
ISIS or ISIL or whatever has been given waaay too much room to operate.
Unfortunately our President is weak.. ISIS knows this and so does the International Community at large. I can see France looking to Russia for some sort of Coalition and running with it.
It's time for boots on the ground…
But – they are able to safely hide and plan in Paris Muslim neighborhoods that are no-go areas for French police. Bombing Syria is purely for show.
Like bombing Vienna while the German Army is camped outside Paris.
Kinda makes you wonder what's the point of Nato anymore with the Visegrád Group assembled.
That's four North-Eastern European countries: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia – building fences and uniting to guard their borders against the immigrant tidal wave.
France is on the Verge of … What?
"According to the Le Figaro, when asked by IFOP, a respected French polling agency, if they would accept a non-democratic form of government to bring necessary reforms to France, 67% of the French said they would opt for a government of non-elected technocrats. 40% percent said they would back a non-elected authoritarian regime."
I think it's time that a lot of Countries start looking at the original words to their anthems…
The US could start singing the 4th Stanza of the Star Spangled Banner:
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Canada can sing the Maple Leaf Forever:
The full version of Deutschland Uber Alles….
Its time for the adults to take charge and exterminate the vermin

School Says Official Embezzled Millions
ALBUQUERQUE (CN) – A public school district claims its business manager embezzled $3.4 million in six years. Jemez Mountain School District sued Kathy Borrego, the Accounting & Consulting Group, an independent auditor that failed to catch the embezzlement, and three friends to whom Borrego allegedly wrote checks from school district accounts.

A state audit put the total embezzlement at $3,378,710, according to the complaint in Bernalillo County Court.
The district and The New Mexico Public School Insurance Authority seek damages for fraud, negligence, conspiracy breach of contract and other charges.
Also named as defendants are Jerry Archuleta, Andrew Duran and Rosana Lopez.
The district is represented by Stephen French.
