Welcome to the Course
The course is based on the original writings of the theosophical founders Mme H. P. Blavatsky and William Q. Judge. These, in distinction to some latter writings, remain the most reliable source of esoteric philosophy.
They are incomparable for those who wish to know about the mysteries of being, of the life principle in Nature (the mysterious Jiv-Atma, science's little understood 'life & consciousness'), of the opportunities and responsibilities we have for our evolution, and how we can work harmoniously with greater Nature in the universal task.
This doctrine is proven by the study and time of a great many sound thinkers and compassionate individuals. They are wholly self-consistent and – above all – they lead the diligent seeker to a deep and beneficial transformation by the gradual removal of the barriers of separateness that hold him down. Why 'separateness,' it is asked? In the philosophy this seemingly innocuous 'sin of separateness' is described as the root of selfishness. Its opposite is that feeling of Unity which leads us to altruism.
The Lineage
The views given in theosophy are not new. Nor are they the invention of any single person but arise from the work of countless generations of initiated sages and adepts since the earliest times of humanity.
The course presents this philosophical and ethical system through a series of 10 topics, these themes providing the earnest student with an enlightening and reliable basis for a deeper search, safely and wisely.
Such noble and enlightening ideas are found in many religions, but the claim is made that the perennial wisdom of 'Theosophy' originated and preceded each and every religion, which are more or less faithful copies of it suited and adjusted to time and conditions.
The true theosophical teachings have a constant, ancient and traceable lineage that precedes the great sages and teachers of even the earliest historical periods in both the East and the West.
By taking the course you will gain a knowledge of Theosophy as it was originally given in its purity, beauty, and depth. The invitation is to study and assess it impartially, judging it by its merits and one's own life experience. For those who have charity for their fellow men and who value the truth above all, they will find many of their questions soon answered.
The topics
1. Reincarnation, 2. Karma, 3. The Mahatmas, 4. The Mind, 5. Astral Body, 6. After Death States, 7. Sleep & Dreams, 8. Cycles, 9. Evolution, and 10. Psychic Laws. (each topic has a short Q&A for you to complete)
The course concludes with a final topic on "The Theosophical Movement", a historical summary of how this ancient knowledge has been taught by many of the great thinkers of the ages, to guide humanity's cultural, scientific, and social evolution.
At the end of each topic there are questions to be answered in your own words and sent in. Sample answers are provided and brief comments will be made on your answers.
a) Q: Is the course material available by post or email? A: yes, either.
b) Q: Is it free? A: It is always free of charge, donations are always welcome but are not asked for.
c) Q: I've got questions on the course material, when can I discuss them? A: Yes, you can ask questions by correspondence or in person if you attend any of the meetings at the Lodge.
d) Q: is there a brief description of what Theosophy is, where it came from? A: One of the best is "Who are the Sages?"
The topics are sent free by post or email as PDF documents. Your answers can be returned by email, post, or fax.

Of all the aspects of enchantment that grace the Joffrey Ballet's "The Nutcracker," probably the most winning is the children.
Kudos to the way this particular mounting makes use of its juvenile performers, who stand out, in the end, from all the scenic lushness, special effects, gorgeous costumes and smart ballet. Children are not strangers to professional dance, the line between performance and recital occasionally blurring.
But the late Robert Joffrey and the team he assembled in the 1980s for this, his last production, delivered a young person's extravaganza -- from the nifty ensemble centipede evoked by the contingent who hide underneath Mother Ginger's skirt to the angelic, reassuring chants that come from the children's choir hidden in the pit during the snow scene.
Christmas is about a birth, about a baby, after all, and while the adult cast members also change in "The Nutcracker" year after year, it's really the kids who fuel its air of renewal and provide its shiniest magic. A Snow Queen or Sugar Plum Fairy as star? Not really. It's the youngster disguised as a gingerbread cookie (Riley Miske at Friday's opening at the Auditorium Theatre) who steals the show.
This year's effort by artistic director Ashley Wheater and company is a fine one. The occasional (and insignificant) flub on opening night proved more of the theatrical than the dancing variety. Dr. Drosselmeyer (an otherwise superb Matthew Adamczyk) dropped his top hat, and here and there someone entered the family scene prematurely.
But Joffrey seems to have envisioned much of Act I as controlled chaos anyway, the rush and tumble of the family scene right out of the typical hullabaloo of a holiday feast. Multiple sets of action constantly vie for attention, the children squabbling over a toy on one side of the stage while important players enter the large welcoming parlor at the other. When the dream world takes over, there's a fantasy battle between the Nutcracker Doll and evil-minded mice, and it has always been a bit cluttered, Joffrey throwing in children from Act II into the mix. This year the staging seemed more clear and focused, followed by a well-executed snow scene that's among the most bewitching in all of ballet.
Friday's casting had some twists, Yumelia Garcia portraying the Sugar Plum Fairy with newcomer Ogulcan Borova as her partner. She is always fascinating, short, but never dainty, a strong, athletic ballerina with a killer balance and firm control. Here and there she injects a lyrical delicacy, with the shake of a leg or the haunting elegance of her arms. She is a dancer who embraces every performance, enrapt, it seems at times, by her own inner music.
Borova is a welcome arrival, handsome, sturdy and gifted with sharp double turns. Their final sequence is not among the flashiest, but they're a winning pair. So are Victoria Jaiani and Dylan Gutierrez in various roles, majestic as snow royalty and magnificently limber in the Arabian dance. After one particularly startling extension, Jaiani stares briefly at the audience, as if to wink and say, "No big deal."
Derrick Agnoletti is a deliciously spoiled Fritz, relishing his misbehavior, and a buoyant, stately Snow Prince. Erica Lynette Edwards is beautiful and intoxicating as the Spanish soloist, and the Waltz of the Flowers and its glorious ensemble sweep wowed me yet again.

The BBC's director of vision George Entwistle is the bookies' favourite to be the next director general, just ahead of BBC chief operating officer Caroline Thomson and the corporation's director of news, Helen Boaden, according to Ladbrokes. Entwistle is 5/2 favourite ahead of Thomson at 3/1 and Boaden at 7/2. Former Channel 4 chief executive Michael Jackson isn't far behind at 4/1 with BBC1 controller Danny Cohen and Ed Richards, chief executive of media regulator Ofcom, both on 12/1, ahead of ITV director of television Peter Fincham at 14/1 and BBC director of audio and music Tim Davie and Channel 4 creative director Jay Hunt, both on 16/1. Those others in full: 20/1 Mark Scott, 20/1 David Abraham, 20/1 Peter Salmon, 20/1 Sophie Turner Laing, 25/1 Dawn Airey, 50/1 Greg Dyke, 50/1 Michael Grade. Not overly generous on Dyke or Grade, then.


text: Nearly a thousand people have been killed inpost-election and tribal violence [AFP] "The purpose of this killing is to reduce the ODM majority."'Crime of passion' Your Views "This election has been traumatic for Kenya. The major tribes in the country will have to overcome the feelings of fear and domination" Mabraham, Toronto, Canada Send us your viewsAccording to a police commander in Nairobi, the capital, the killing appeared to be linked to a romantic dispute."He was with a girl who is a police officer. He was shot by another policeman believed to be her boyfriend," he said.Earlier this week, Melitus Were, another opposition legislator was shot dead outside the gate of his Nairobi home, in a murder that triggered rioting and ethnic killings. The ODM said Were's killing was a "political assassination", although police said they were treating it as "murder".Too was the legislator for the Ainamoi constituency in the Rift Valley.Rival talksWith the death toll from the post-election violence nearing 1,000 and close to 300,000 people displaced, representatives of Mwai Kibaki, the president, and Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who accuses Kibaki of rigging the December election, met on Thursday for the first time together in Nairobi with Kofi Annan, the former UN chief.Kibaki attended an African Union (AU) summit in neighbouring Ethiopia, despite efforts by the ODM to get the AU to exclude him. The ODM warned that Kibaki's presence in the ranks of the heads of state would amount to a recognition of his election, despite local and international concerns over flaws in the vote count of December 27 polls. Protests against Kibaki's re-election quickly descended into ethnic violence amid longstanding tribal and economic tensions. 'Not ethnic cleansing' The unrest was triggered by a poll disputebut has now become an ethnic conflict AFP]Meanwhile, the US backed away from comments by its most senior African envoy that Kenya's post-election violence is "clear ethnic cleansing". Sean McCormack, a US state department spokesman, said the views expressed by Jendayi Frazer, the assistant secretary of state for African affairs, were not those of the government. "She made some comments based on her firsthand assessment from a trip several weeks ago," he said on Wednesday. "She said what she said. I am going to stick to what I said." McCormack's remarks were aimed at easing reactions to the phrase and potential comparisons to Rwanda's genocide and the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region.On Wednesday, Frazer said machete-wielding gangs had burnt homes and businesses in the western province, and were trying to force out the Kikuyu people, the tribe of Mwai Kibaki, the president. McCormack said much of the violence in Kenya's Rift Valley was the result of "political tensions". "There's a serious issue of people being displaced for a variety of different reasons, including being forced from their homes based on ethnic identification," he said, adding that the department's war crimes office was reviewing the incidents. Tit-for-tat attacks Frazer said that the US wanted an investigation into the violence, including the killing of civilians by police, and said guilty parties must be held accountable. "There has been an organised effort to push out people from Rift Valley... It is clearly ethnic cleansing. I don't consider it genocide," she said. "The cycle of retaliation has gone too far and has become more dangerous."Kibaki, 76, says he is the legally elected president, but is open to sharing power. Odinga, 63, says he was robbed by fraud during the vote count and wants Kibaki to stand down or allow a new election after a period of power-sharing. Kenya's unrest may have been triggered by an election dispute but the tinder for ethnic conflict was there and has burned before at elections in 1992 and 1997. Members of Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe were the first to be attacked, and are now seeking revenge on Luos, Luhyas and Kalenjins who largely back Odinga in what has turned into tit-for-tat attacks.

Feds cut pay of execs at bailed out firms
All three companies have yet to repay what they received from the $700 billion bailout and therefore are subject to pay cuts.
Morgan Stanley CEO Gorman paid $13 million in 2011
JPMorgan Chase CEO Dimon paid $23 million in 2011
Since it was rescued under the Troubled Asset Relief Program after the housing crash, AIG has reduced what it owes the U.S. government by more than 75 percent, according to the Treasury. The insurance company still owes taxpayers around $50 billion.
The government has recovered nearly half of the funds invested in GM, which owes about $25 billion, and nearly one-third of the money injected into Ally Financial, which owes about $12 billion.

Back in February, I wrote this after my men's small group that meets on Tuesday mornings:
"I was convicted this morning of a story my friend shared of a guy who would read through the Bible every month. It was a conviction he felt impressed by God to do.
"This story reminded of the man that inspired Dr. Ron Frost to read through the Bible on a regular basis. When one lives in the world of the Bible, one tends to adopt the Bible's worldview, which demonstrates God's worldview and His kingdom.
"I feel like I don't read the Bible enough. I need to spend more time in it. I think I spend too much time thumbing through the News Feed on Facebook, USA Today app, or tech blogs on my iPhone. I don't spend adequate time reading the Bible or books."
Too be honest, since writing this in my journal back in February, not much has changed. I want it to change, but it hasn't. I guess you could say that I don't really want it to change because I haven't changed it. I could make a few excuses like I'm in seminary and I'm already reading a lot, or that I teach the Bible on a regular basis and therefore I'm in the Scriptures a lot. These excuses are good ones, but I regardless of my profession, I want reading the Bible to be a regular part of how I live my daily life. And not just a chapter or two or even a handful of verses, but chunks of Scripture, regularly engaged with over time.
That is what I want.
…now to change that.

Audiomeca - Pierre Lurne SL5
Linear Tracking Tonearm
The arm tube and headshell of the Pierre Lurne SL5 are machined from one solid piece of aluminium alloy for extreme rigidity.
The pure mass concept is critical in tonearm design. The character has to be negligible to satisfy the neutrality requirement.
A pure mass has no special tendency to vibrate by itself, and moving a pure mass always needs the same force in any direction.
Complex forms, incoherent mass distribution, elastic decoupling, for instance, cannot achieve a pure mass.
Laboratory measurement using a tiny accelerometer fixed on the Pierre Lurne SL5 headshell easily shows how neutral the arm is and, consequently, its outstanding level of sound quality.
Features integrated servo control, automatic arm lifting at the end of the record and electrical cueing.
Pivot to stylus length: 200mm
Total length: 245mm
Total rail length: 342mm

Today is May 15, 2012, the birth date of a noble person who opened my eyes more than ever before, Hakeem Omar Khayyam, and as a tribute I wanted to release the song on the birth date of this Persian legend. I believe that from time to time we all have to pay our tributes to the treasures we own, our heritage.
As usual, the song is a combination of electronic, pop music and Persian traditional music influences written in C#major. The lyrics of the song, written by the legendary Hakeem Omar Khayyam, mostly refer to the hypothesis of reincarnation mixed with some of Khayyamâs factual beliefs in enjoying your given life the best way possible and not thinking of the past (which is gone) nor the yet-to-come unpredictable future. Live in the moment with all you have and enjoy the given gifts as much as possible and have in mind that you are going to become a part of this world when your soul flies out of your shell until you get to the point of perfection. I had to change the name of the song from âReincarnationâ to its Persian translation âTanasokhâ as the English name was too long to be remembered.
And last but not least, I would love to dedicate this last release to two of my dearest friends (of course, they have always been more than friends to me) and by this dedication i would like to show them my love and respect and my gratitude for all the things they have taught me through the years. First my dear friend (who is more like a brother to me) Shahram, who taught me the facts about Khayyamâs beliefs and was the person who actually made me aware of Khayyamâs poetry in the first place; and next, another dear friend closer to me than my heart, Lucy, who was the main reason I finished the song. In my heart is where I will always keep these lovely existences. Shahram joon & Lucy joon, love you both to death and hope my dedication finds you well.
From the links please find the song and the poster.

Very Impressive! The song and its lyric best fit together. The best song I've heard these days. Too pity this is your last song. I have many good memories with your songs. That is not the fair that you leave music community and some unmusicals be the leaders!
Any way best wishes AmirBahador and have the best Tanasokh! You will be always in our mind. According to Forough: Remains the only sound.

Review: MIDNIGHT WALTZ by Jennifer Blake
I've loved every Jennifer Blake book I've read. Midnight Waltz is no exception.
In antebellum Louisiana, young wife Amalie settles into marriage with her new husband, Julien. Handsome, rich and charming, Julien is everything a woman could ask for, but slightly distant--until he comes to her bed at night. Then he turns into the wildly passionate lover of every woman's dreams.
The difference confuses and alarms Amalie, especially when attraction develops between her and Julien's newly arrived cousin, Robert. Secrets abound in a society that owes its existence to strict conformity, and Amalie's placid life ruptures when long-hidden truths surface.
Vivid descriptions and lush storytelling rocket you through this vibrant and compelling historical romance. Ms. Blake's extensive research and detailed descriptions insert you firmly into 1850's Louisiana plantation life. As a product of her time, Amalie starts out as a bit of a doormat, but her difficult situation rapidly transforms her into a woman capable of directing her own course, even if society disapproves. The hero (and I won't tell you who he is) is again my favorite type, the decent man.
While Midnight Waltz is everything a romance novel should be, the story is also a sad commentary on the futility and the tragedy of obeying society's precepts at any cost.
First published in 1984, Midnight Waltz remains a winner.
Thank you all,

"Midnight Waltz" has been a favorite book of mine from the day it was written--not least because my former agent tried to tell me the plot couldn't be done in a believable fashion. Many thanks for the affirmation for the story, as well as for your lovely and insightful comments. May I have permission to quote from them?
@Catslady: Many thanks to you, too, for reading my books, but most of all for saying you enjoyed them!
Warmest wishes, Jennifer Blake

You're welcome, catslady. Jennifer Blake has written tons of books, so you may have missed this one. And since she's written so many, there are lots more for you to enjoy!

Jennifer, thank you. I found MIDNIGHT WALTZ very believable. You drew Amalie as just naive enough at the beginning to believe what the powers that be wanted her to. But she learned to trust her own judgement as the book went on. The best books show growth in the hero and heroine, and MIDNIGHT WALTZ has it. I love your books. Please keep writing them.
And I'd be honored for you to quote my reviews.

A bit over six months ago, we ran a shot of Ken Block's 171-foot insane-o Subie-leap for the Stunt Junkies television programme. After watching this clip, we would not want to be the man's spine. Even if you've already caught the episode, this flight — exceeding the Wright Brothers' first powered trip into the air by 51 feet — is totally worth watching again.

So You Want To Be A Talent Agent?
In Hollywood, talent agents act as the middlemen between the actors and the studios. Talent agents came into existence because actors had many financial and legal disputes with the big studios and needed someone to represent them. Today, major studios are still a dominant force in the industry, but talent agents are just as powerful if not more powerful than the studios, because the studios must go through the talent agents in order to hire the actors.
Agents can be basically broken down into different categories, A, B, and C. An "A level" agency has the greatest power, "pull", and prestige. Most new actors are not even considered by these top agencies because they mostly handle the big stars. The top five agencies in Hollywood are Creative Artists (CAA), The William Morris Agency (WMA), International Creative Management (ICM), United Talent Agency (UTA) and Endeavor. However in recent times, The William Morris Agency and Endeavor have joined forces to compete for the place as the number one agency in tinsel town. Yes, there are smaller boutique agencies in between these Hollywood powerhouses, but just about every major star you see in the movies or on television most likely are represented by one of these five agencies.
Most up and coming actors seek representation from agents on the B and C levels. Furthermore, a legitimate talent agent is always considered "SAG Franchised", meaning they are licensed and registered with the main actor's union, The Screen Actors Guild.A talented individual is wasting his/her time with any unlicensed SAG talent agent. Legitimate agents receive 10% commission off the jobs they book for actors and never charge you upfront fees. However, many talent agents will have agreements in place for themselves for when they achieve extra deals for talented individuals, such as endorsements or sponsorships. For example, when an actor does commercials for a company, the agent will receive a percentage for how much the deal is worth and some royalties of how many commercials their client pursues in the future.
As a professional talent agent, you are ranked depending on how much wealth you can create for your clients, the agency you work for, experience, contacts, the years in the business and who you represent in the business. Through an actor's eye, having an agent on a "higher level" can determine you getting a role (job) over another actor just as talented as you.
Professional talent agents are known to have great business savvy and expertise to negotiate contracts on how much money their clients receive from jobs and future projects. With this in mind follows the question of, what do talent agencies look for in a trainee and where do agents start their training?
In most cases, talent agencies will recruit graduates with a minimum of a four-year degree and relevant work experience. But it is also known that talent agencies favor people with professional educational achievements and who can bring more to the company in terms of skills and business knowledge, such as MBA and Law graduates.
The starting point for a prospective talent agent at an 'A level' agency is in the mail room, where the individual spends four to six months sorting, routing and delivering mail, manuscripts, packages and internal documents to different departments of the company. While performing these day-to-day duties, trainees are given the opportunity to learn as much as possible about the agency's various businesses and be able to rotate positions so that they have a taste of the different divisions of the organization.
The next step for a trainee is to become a floater. This is where a trainee acts as an assistant to agents in many departments on a temporary basis, to learn the skills required to be an effective assistant to the agency.
If you do well as an assistant, you are eligible to apply for a full time position, as an agent's assistant, where you will work one-on-one with an agent on a regular basis to learn the ropes of how to be an effective agent within the company. If you then perform well in this role, your achievements will be reviewed by a selective team of senior agents to evaluate if you are worthy to work as a full time talent agent.
As a full time talent agent, most of your day will be spent trying to get auditions for your clients. There are many other factors that can determine them getting the role though, such as, do they fit the part of the role? How much will they get paid? The job of the agent at this point is to negotiate with other parties, such as studios, producers and directors, to ensure that the right deal is in place for his/her clients. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the talent agent to phone and secure deals, look through the "breakdowns" (a daily listing of all the acting roles the studios/casting directors are seeking) and submit pictures to casting directors, hoping to get a client in on an audition.
Finally, as in any occupation, you must have some experience in order to get the job, and the entertainment business is no different.
Realistically, working as a talent agent can be hard work, stressful and will be long hours, but if you want to work as an agent and represent actors, celebrities and models etc, it is not impossible. All you need is persistence, courage, motivation and to keep abreast of what is happening in your industry on a day to day basis to achieve first class results.

By the time you read this, it will be possible to visit our brand new Atlantis Rising online archives. Just go to our regular web site at AtlantisRising.com and click on "Archives," or go directly to it by logging into "AtlantisRisingMagazine.com." Awaiting your easy access now are all the articles and many of the accompanying graphics for the last ten issues, prior to this one (to read the latest issue you will continue to need an actual printed or PDF copy). The content on the web is free to all, though at some point, we may reserve certain issues for members only. Eventually we hope to be able to post all of our back issues in this manner, but it's a big job and will take awhile.
We are very excited about our new web offering as it already is and we think you will be, too. Not only does this great new resource provide the full text of all the articles, including news from our "Early Rays" sections, but it also includes all special text emphasis (bold, italics, etc.) to aid your reading comprehension. (Previously, for technical reasons, the articles in our archives section—from our first 17 issues only—were entirely in plain text, so book titles, for instance, were indistinguishable from the rest of the text). Moreover, our new web site will provide you with the opportunity to post comments on articles. We are also tagging our text to make our content more accessible to the search engines and thus to more Internet surfers looking for our kind of material.
These images show how particular issues and articles are displayed, but there is no substitute for actually visiting the site and seeing for yourself. We also hope that this project will make it easy for you to refer friends to special articles you would like them to read. Don't hesitate to pass along the links to pages that you like. Also, just by clicking on words in the "Tag Cloud" at the bottom of the right-hand column, you will easily be able to find various articles on the same, or a related, topic.
Of course it goes without saying (but I will say it anyway) that a tremendous amount of work has already gone into preparing our material for the new site. I would particularly like to thank our longtime office manager and proofer Darsi Vanatta, whose tireless efforts in combing through hundreds of pages of material to make edits, place links, and identify key tag words, were indispensable. There were others whose help was also essential, and maybe someday I will have the space to name them, too. But for now, I would just like to say that I am very grateful for what has been accomplished so far; and I look forward to the full completion of this immense project, which, I believe, will provide, for years to come, a refreshing oasis to many a weary wanderer in that vast wilderness also known as the world wide web.

You know you're onto a good brunch location when you visit the same place twice in one weekend.
I spent both Saturday and Sunday morning in Osteria Dell'arte on Clapham High Street, catching up with friends, sipping on frothy cappuccinos and filling my tummy with amazing eggs royale.
The family run business serves up a great brunch menu feature the usual eggs benny, florentine and royale, but being an Italian restaurant you can also tuck into sharing platters with cured ham, prosciutto and cheeses or an open omelette with whatever Mediterranean themed fillings you like.
Unsurprisingly, I stuck with eggs royale both mornings, but go even for the toast. Sourdough, thick crust with buttery goodness all over. To die for.
They also have a table covered with croissants, pain au chocolate, cornetti (cone shaped pastries filled with sweet cream!) and even gluten-free biscotti. And that was dessert sorted.
Osteria Dell'arte also has an obvious arty feel and it supports local artists by hosting exhibitions for them and selling their work from the restaurant. The wall decor is constantly changing for that reason and you'll see some great art and sculptures around the room. Not to mention the tree covered in fairy lights – we all agreed it felt like we were on holiday and not just a 10 minute walk from home.
So next time you're in need of a bit of coffee and culture, it's a good place to pop into to while away the morning.

Sunyani, Aug. 29, GNA – Safe motherhood is often glorified in the Ghanaian society and this makes the pregnant woman or mother feel guilty about experiencing negative emotions. Maternal mental health is a public health priority due to its impact on both maternal and child health.
What is it?
Although the impact of maternal mental health on child development starts from conception, research in the area of antenatal mental health has gained momentum only in recent years.
Once considered a time of emotional well-being, and "protecting" women against psychiatric disorders, it is now well established that several psychiatric disorders are common during pregnancy, with depression being the most widespread.
Risk factors for poor mental health during pregnancy, according to health experts, include; personal or family history of psychiatric illness or substance abuse, sexual, physical or emotional abuse, exposure to intimate partner violence or coercion, social adversity and coincidental adverse life events.
Maternal mental illness or mental health in general, according to medicine is a chronic disorder diagnosed most often by a psychiatrist, of a behavioural or mental pattern that may cause suffering or a poor ability to function in life.
Such features may be persistent, relapsing and remitting, or occur as a single episode. Many disorders have been described, with signs and symptoms that vary widely between specific disorders.
Remote causes of mental disorders are often unclear. Theories may incorporate findings from a range of fields.
Maternal mental disorders are usually defined by a combination of how a person behaves, feels, perceive or thinks and this may be associated with particular regions or functions of the brain, often in a social context.
It is believed that cultural and religious beliefs, as well as social norms, should be taken into account when making diagnosis.
Services are based in psychiatric hospitals or in the community, and assessments are carried out by psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and clinical social workers, using various methods but often relying on observation and questioning.
Any treatments?
Treatments are also provided by various mental health professionals and psychotherapy and psychiatric medication are two major treatment options.
Other treatments include; social interventions, peer support and self-help while in a minority of cases there might be involuntary detention or treatment. Prevention programmes have been shown to reduce depression.
According to psychiatrists and historians, common maternal mental disorders in Ghana include; depression, dementia and schizophrenia.
Stigma and discrimination could also add to the suffering and disability associated with mental disorders, leading to various social movements attempting to increase understanding and challenge of social exclusion.
Maternal mental health problems could cover a broad range of disorders, but the common characteristic is that they all affect the affected person's personality, thought processes or social interactions.
They could be difficult to clearly diagnose, unlike physical illnesses.
Sometimes clinical history, family history and outlook are similar among a group of people with mental disorders and in these situations; their condition could be defined as a specific disorder syndrome.
Although the symptoms of a disorder may affect any part of the body, the electrical events that produce the symptoms occur in the brain.Societal myth surrounding maternal disorders is a huge challenge that impedes treatment of patients.
According to Mr. Joseph Yere, the Brong-Ahafo Regional Mental Health Coordinator, maternal mental health situation in the region is soaring.
He told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview that the region recorded 1,526 maternal mental health cases in the region from January to June, 2018. Marital problems are major causes of depression, which recorded 269 cases.
Mr. Yere said maternal mental health problems remained a major health challenge and required concerted efforts to tackle.
Globally, he said, 10 per cent of pregnant women and 13 per cent of women who have given birth experienced mental disorders primarily due to depression.
In addition, about 20 per cent of mothers in developing countries experienced clinical depression after child birth, thus impeding the holistic upbringing and development of children.
Depression, Mr. Yere said, caused enormous suffering and disability as well as reduced response to child health, adding that though cases of psychosis were much less in the region, it remained the contributory factor to suicides.
UKAID Intervention
But, in Brong-Ahafo Region, an opportunity has been created to support and treat women and pregnant mothers with mental disorders.
Thanks to MIHOSO International Foundation and BasicNeeds Ghana, health focused Non-Governmental Organisations are implementing a two-year maternal mental health project in parts of the region.
Titled, "Enhancing maternal mental health of pregnant women and mothers and their children to realise maternal and child health in Brong-Ahafo", the project is being funded by the United Kingdom Agency for International Development (UKAID).
It is being implemented in: Sunyani, Wenchi, Techiman, Atebubu-Amantin, Kintampo North, Nkoarnza South, Berekum and Tano North Municipalities, as well as Sunyani West, Pru, Sene West, Banda, Jaman North, Tain, Techiman North and Nkoranza North Districts.
Outcomes and Conclusion
In an interview with the GNA, Dr Gabriel Gbiel Benarkuu, the Chief Executive Officer of MIHOSO, said the project is expected to reach out to 180 communities, 3,590 pregnant women/mothers aged between 20 to 40 years and children below two years.
The project seeks to contribute to improved maternal health and livelihoods outcomes among poor and vulnerable women and girls, through enhancing the quality and accessibility of maternal mental health services.
This, Dr Benarkuu National President of the Coalition of NGOs in Health, explained was in combination with behavioural change communication and income generation activities.
He said the project would yield useful outcomes depending on the commitment of the various mental health officers and appealed to traditional authorities in the beneficiary communities to also provide their support.

The long list of WWE Superstars that have sustained serious injuries in the last year or so has gained another name.
After Daniel Bryan needed neck surgery, Roman Reigns suffered his hernia, Bad News Barrett went under the knife and Darren Young missed most of the year, we have a new star who is going to be off our television screens long term.
Ryder under the Knife
It has been confirmed today, that Zack Ryder will be out for the next six months after it was decided that he would be needing surgery on a torn rotator cuff suffered in his match against Rusev last week.
John Cena confirmed it on last night's WWE RAW that Ryder has to have surgery and will be out of action for 6 months. Cena went on to blame Ryder's injury on Rusev and The Authority after Ryder made a tweet about Team Cena.
It was revealed yesterday that Ryder revealed that he may have tore his rotator cuff and would possibly need surgery. This has now been confirmed. Ryder's last match was against Rusev on last week's RAW, where he got completely destroyed by the Bulgarian Brute and obviously not in a way that was planned.

- WWE Raw Review from the UK
The former Tag team champion waited almost two hours before he posted the actual reason for his absence: "The Internet people love to twist words to make a story...here's the deal...I tore my rotator cuff...MMMAAAYYY need surgery...relax."
Well that was yesterday and now it is known that he does need surgery and will miss significant time out with a quite serious injury.
With all the budget cuts in the WWE going on, this could well signal the last time we have seen Zack Ryder in a squared circle in the WWE. That would be a huge waste of his talent and career that went downhill immediately after his stupid story line with John Cena.
So WWE fans, what do you think. Should Ryder be released or does he deserve another chance in the WWE after his injury? Tell us what you think in the comments below...

A dad on paternity leave plunged to his death in front of his entire family as he put in the last few bricks of a DIY project.
Devoted Paul Fenwick, 31, died instantly after he fell 14ft head first as he finished building an extension to his home for his growing family.
Maintenance officer Paul, known as "Podgie," fell from the scaffolding tower onto the concrete below.
The tragedy was witnessed by his family who had all arrived to see the work finished, including his parents, partner of 11 years Ixchel Morris, 28, and their two-year-old son Noah.
His little boy ran up to stricken Paul, shouting "daddy, daddy."
Dad Paul had been on paternity from the hospice he worked at for two weeks, since the birth of his second child daughter, Emilia Chloe.
His father, also called Paul, said: "Podgie was about to put the last few bricks onto the extension when he fell from a scaffolding tower.
"The whole family had come over. Everyone was there. We all saw it. We are still numb and trying to get through it day by day.
"As a family, we are just pulling together and helping each other come to terms with what has happened. We take comfort from the fact that he died happy. He was so proud of the extension he had built.
"There is no wondering what happened, because we were there. That makes a big difference."
Mr Fenwick, who lives nearby with his wife Lorraine, in east Hull, said his young grandson is aware of his father's death, which happened on July 1st.
He added: "Noah was there. It was traumatic. Noah ran up to Podgie shouting, 'Daddy, Daddy'.
"I tried to keep everyone calm, as he would have wanted, and got everyone indoors, while we rang for an ambulance. We knew he had died instantly. There was no suffering."
Mr Fenwick said his son and his family had moved into their home about 18 months ago.
He added: "He had a lot of plans for that house. Every spare moment he had, he would be working on that extension.
"His stepdad, Nick Baldwin, is a builder and had been helping him a bit. Podgie was so proud of it. It looked marvellous and he had built it for his family."
Paying tribute to his son, he added: "You couldn't get enough of Podgie. He was just that type of person. Knowing how well-loved he was is helping us all.
"We were mates as well as father and son. He was also a great dad. He was so giving. He was, what I would call 'passionate angry' about things close to his heart. Podgie just wanted to help people."
Paul's step-mother, Lorraine, said: "Podgie was a real cheeky chappy. He would get away with anything when he gave you that smile of his."
Paul is also survived by his mother, Pam Baldwin, brothers Adam, 21, Luke, 27, Sean, 31, and sisters Lisa, 32, Marie, 32, and Sherrena, 34.
His funeral will be held on Friday, at 2.30pm, in the large chapel at Chanterlands Crematorium, West Hull.

Exactly. Many people seem to believe Criterion UK releases titles "at random", because the majority of the releases so far have been titles that were released in the US before April 2016, when Criterion released its first UK titles. In point of fact, since April 2016, some twenty Criterion new releases issued in the UK have almost always come within a month of release in the US, with (as far as I can see) only two titles being delayed: One was Carnival of Souls, which was released in July 2016 in the US, and not released in the UK until October 2017, and the other was the box set of the Lone Wolf & Cub films, which was released in November 2016 in the US and March 2017 in the UK. This also includes the forthcoming concurrent UK releases of Night of the Living Dead in February, The Age of Innocence in March and The Awful Truth in April.rapta wrote:As has been speculated elsewhere though, you would think they would announce it at the same time as the US, as they have been doing for most new restorations where they have the rights in both territories (generally Sony/Janus titles, but not always). In fact, the same month they announced The Silence of the Lambs for North America, here in the UK we got Something Wild instead - obviously still top-tier Demme, but not the blockbuster hit some of us were expecting to be announced.
The very fact they didn't announce it leads me to believe another UK label managed to grab it just before them. My guess is Arrow Video (I'd be pretty surprised if it was anyone else).
Now, maybe there is some other grand scheme at play, and Criterion UK are withholding a major title--possibly their biggest title since launching in the country--from the UK for other reasons, like a month in the US where they don't have a new title to release, but I still believe that if they had the ability to release the film in February 2018, it would be released in February 2018.

Philip Seymour Hoffman portrayed Capote in the biopic with the same title. It focuses on the years when the author was writing his book In Cold Blood. His acting got the nods of the Academy Award jurors. This performance is laudable, but I must say that in the film, I am more intrigued by the epilogue where it is said that Capote, in his last unfinished novel's epigraph, chose this: More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.
As if the film isn't devastating enough. What is with this book? It is, according to Capote, the novel of the decade that would keep the literary tongues wagging for his genius in coming up with a new genre, the nonfiction novel. I agree, and it is more than a sensation. It is an event hardly ignorable for the cunning stringing of facts that created a compelling novel about the murder of the Clutter family that set the "out there" Holcomb, Kansas into a key town of the United States. That is, at least, in the world of letters.
But we do not go and read the Clutters' family history with accounts of the parents' childhoods and all that. Yes, we are given basic information regarding the Clutters' stature in the town and a background of how they came to be. The novel sheds more light instead on the murderers, Richard Eugene Hickock and Perry Edward Smith. More so, it makes us see what drives a murderer to commit an act so violent and that is apparently devoid of any motive. Surely, we have our own preconceived notions of murderers, but is the description below, spoken by an outsider, a proper "characterization" of one?
"And that night, of all nights, we had to leave him alone, Wendle and I almost never go out, but we had a long-standing engagement, and Wendle didn't think we ought to break it. But I'll always be sorry we left him alone. Next day I did fix the rice. He wouldn't touch it. Or hardly speak to me. He hated the whole world. But the morning the men came to take him to the penitentiary, he thanked me and gave me a picture of himself. A little Kodak made when he was sixteen years old. He said it was how he wanted me to remember him, like the boy in the picture."
The novel opens with a description of that town even Kansans barely know. Far-flung, quiet, almost idyllic, it is the kind of town whose silence is laboriously detailed as an evidence of its only redeeming quality, for soon enough, after finishing the first quarter of the novel, this very silence is irrevocably shattered by four shots at the dead of the night.
The reader thinks he knows what's going on. True, Dick and Perry kill the Clutters, but is that enough? The reader knows and he doesn't know. We do not bother to read this to find more details about the crime as if one were a federal crime investigator. In fact, the scene of the crime is incapable of producing any hard evidence. The crime is not even solved by the heads of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. So what is there to expect from this?
We get quite close to the murderers' heads, and this creates a sympathy so surprising for what they did can be hardly condoned. We go through a montage of their cross-state and cross-country sprees, hitching rides, stealing cars, siphoning gas from other cars, selling cars. And then hitching rides again, repeating the same cycle until their itinerary is abruptly cut by their capture.
And then their confession, their imprisonment, their trial, their death.
The pages go through the psychological make-up of the murderers as they careen through the bleak flat lands of America. We think what a world power this country is, but what we are given are long stretches of roads that go on and on with occasional crimes that are most likely left unsolved. Had Capote not noticed a small column on the paper briefly describing the crime, the murder of the Clutters would not have been worth mentioning and its violence could have been easily lost as fast as the settling dust of America's forgotten highways.
But no. The details produced by the years of research Capote spent allowed him to frame a documentary and use his tools as a novelist to erect the foundation of a colossal book that defies genres. We are gripped by the murders, slightly because the things we are reading happened out there once upon a time, and mostly because of both the involvement and detachment of probably one of the loneliest persons to ever receive the capital punishment, Perry Smith.
And we wonder still: is this creative writing? Or journalism? It doesn't matter, and that is always the case for something that has left you both transfixed with its unflinching storytelling and unsettled with its sneaky way of shaking your own judgments. Indeed, this is one rare book that allows fact to overpower fiction. It is Capote's answered prayer. He got what he wished for, and he was never the same again.

I've been drinking cider for many moon. Apparently it's becoming hip. Well, so did cupcakes. Whatever, I still love cider (better than cupcakes!). Here are some new ones that made me take notice.

French hard cider is often my "go to" for a refreshingly funky apple beverage. But recently I found a more locally based product; Bad Seed Cider, a Highland Hills, New York state-based producer. Devin Ritter, one of the owner-brewers periodically sells his brew at the Union Square Green Market. If you get a chance to visit the market, try to find him. He'll give you an education in cider varieties. Meeting him, I purchased a few bottles of his "IPC," which uses IPA beer yeast, along with some "semi dry," which Devin said wasn't quite as funky as French cider but has similar crispness. What I like about these ciders is the clean taste, effervesence more akin to a champagne. They drink well and go good with almost any food.

Cidre, or cider, is a refreshing apple beverage with a bit of alcohol. It's been a favorite of mine since I was introduced by my brother when I was a wee lad. Sundays we'd sometimes enjoy a lobster brunch, drenched with butter and quenched with, what else, cider!
On a recent outing to the supermarket, I found a bottle of Cherry Tree cider, produced by Original Sin. Black and sitting in the craft-beer section of the market, it comes in non-descript bottles but has a highly describable impact. Refreshing, delicious, satisfying. I have heard of Belgian kriek, the Belgian ale that's cherry flavored, and generally I detest flavored drinks, but my curiosity prevailed. Fast forward - a long 13 hour day, a cold bottle of cherry cider in the fridge, and some liver pate, ok....pop!
It's almost a shade of rose, with a bouquet that's not overly dry and not coyingly sweet, well balanced. It reminds me of Norman cidre more then most of the other ciders I've had on the market that usually are either too sweet or extremely dry and with out complexity.
Oh, and it went great with liver pate and German mustard!

On the way there, the boy just wouldn't shut his mouth. Perhaps we should start calling him "Mouth". I don't remember what he was talking about, but he likes to repeat things.
"Dad, I have my ball. It's a golf ball."Now I'm always happy deep down inside whenever he says anything at all, but I wasn't feeling that deep down warm and fuzzy feeling at that point. I was beginning to tune him out.
"That's great buddy, you have a golf ball."
"Dad, I have a ball. A golf ball."
"I see that Drew, you have a golf ball"
"I have my golf ball."
A few minutes later, I start to realize that he's talking to me. Not about the golf ball. So once I tune in I realize he's a little upset. What's he saying?
"Daddy, PLEASE talk to me! Talk to me DaDa!"
It was wonderful. I might have had a tear. It was another one of those moments that make some of the rough times worth it - a moment where you remember just how special it is that he is able to continually improve his speaking ability, and a time to be so thankful that he can talk and likes to be talked to. Nothing can diminish that feeling!
"Yes, Drew?"
"I have a golf ball. It's my golf ball, Dad."

- Updated : De Blasio Faces Protest for NYPD Pick * Democracy Now!
(Revised : Tuesday 10 Dec 2013 16/04)
Activists Protest Outside The Nation Magazine Gala, Honoring Bill de Blasio, Who The Nation Had Endorsed. Now, de Blasio Was Rewarding Them By Appearing At Their Gala In Exchange.
Protest against Bill Bratton's record on Stop-And-Frisk and against Bill de Blasio for picking him as NYPD commish ; at The Nation Magazine Gala at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street, NYC.
Bill Bratton is the architect of Stop-And-Frisk, a police policy that has been shown to be a state-sponsored program of racism that targets minorities.
Watch as activists jeer former NYC Public Advocate Mark Green, former TV talkshow host Phil Donahue, former GMHC CEO Ana Oliveira, Manhattan Borough President-elect Gail Brewer, and The Daily Show contributor Lewis Black for standing by Bill de Blasio's pick of Bratton as NYPD commish. Bill de Blasio, and possibly Bill Bratton, snuck in through the freight entrance at the back of the building, avoiding protesters. They used an FDNY practice exercise as a decoy to close West 19th Street from some activists.
This was a private event, but yet there was Bill de Blasio abusing his authority over NYPD and FDNY to use public resources for a private event -- a similar complaint that reform activists used to have about Christine Quinn. This is not change ; rather, this is more of the same.
de Blasio misused FDNY resources by deploying a fake emergency practise exercise at the back of the building, where activists were protesting last night.
Was the FDNY decoy exercise deliberately planned to interfere with last night's protest ?

By Ifeanyi Chijioke
For Family Writers
Apostle Suleman, I did not read in details the comment credited to you, I once said that I won't write open letters again but recklessness and irresponsibility of people would not let me be. I have not said you are reckless or irresponsible, I have only said people and even El-Rufia is reckless and irresponsible but I am waiting for his burial as you prophesied, I will shred him after death but while he lives, let me engage you.
I have double mind because I don't trust Nigerian media, family writers were with Annkio Briggs when she passionately sided Niger Delta Avengers but the next minute, we saw online where everything she said was twisted. The reality remains that Nigerian media without enough brown envelopes would always be partial or most times twist things to suit the government of the day. There are enough pro-government media that would do everything to discredit reality of Biafra facing them.
I understood that you expressed your view over Biafra, but for the purpose of clarity, was that prophesy of a thought? I have a reason for asking this question, Biafra will disclose a lot of things and help shine the light of truth everywhere. Biafra will not just come; Biafra will destroy evil and uncover secrets that have bedeviled her people. If this is prophesy, I want to put it in record so when Biafra comes, you can resigned on the ground that you are a fake prophet. If it is a thought, I will also have it in record and tell you tomorrow that you have a poor brain.
Many prophets came against Biafra; they were not only disappointed but disgraced and today have fallen by the way side. I can teach you why it is always that way, Biafra is a spirit and a good spirit, 3.5 million of God's children were sacrificed for Biafra and many still being sacrificed and you are not afraid to speak against such alter of sacrifice. I have no option but to pity you, I still have doubt because I can't trust Nigerian media with what I have seen so far.
You are right to share your view while I am right to counter your view, Biafra is the last miracle and if you do not believe in the words God said through Nnamdi Kanu, I have no reason to continue this letter because you are not worthy of my pen. It becomes antagonistic of you and fighting God when you speak against Biafra. Don't hiss yet, I will explicitly channel you where I am going.
Mohammadu Buhari shot to death over 22 Biafrans on a prayer ground, fasting and fervently praying to God. They have fasted and prayed that God may answer their prayer and grant them Biafra, these are Christians that believe only God can give them Biafra. Suleman, I make bold to ask you, does what was credited to you imply that God cannot give Biafra or God cannot answer prayer? Are you discouraging men from praying and trusting in God? Are you telling me God is ineffective? I am afraid somebody will fall by the way side for carnally and falsely calling the name of God.
Some of your members have already run to your defense, saying that they have not seen you in video say anything against Biafra. One even said you have warned that Nnamdi Kanu should be released and that this is media propaganda with you name. I agree with them because Nigerian media can be disastrous, in this case I logically address the purported propaganda.
Finally, it is important to remind you that prophets come in many forms and opposing the mission of Prophet Nnamdi Kanu is opposing God. Just like Yashua came and sacrificed his life for us, Nnamdi Kanu has sacrificed everything for us. We are fanatical about Biafra and we are challenging God with Biafra. If God did not give us Biafra then to us the African Jews, God is not a living God.
It would be right you come plain and make your position clear because we will keep the record for you to know that God is not a man. If to you God cannot give Biafra, if to you Biafra is impossible for God. I will keep words for action, that when Biafra shall come, I will tell the world that "this man is nothing but instrument of devil".

So I have had insomnia. It makes me a very cranky and very fragile. I can barely keep this shit together. But... usually, every day I laugh. And since most of us suffer with insomnia in cycles I was wondering how I could share that gift of laughter with you.
I am not sure you'll get quite the kick out if it that I do, I actually just spat a mouth full of water over the floor... again.
My kitty Cooper refuses to acknowledge my insomnia and instead has decided to assume the position of head pain the ass and mini terrorist which involves him waking me when I do finally sleep.
This is what he woke me with this morning.
Sigh, it's a shame he is so flipping cute.
