Good Morning Friends,
I had a post all planned out in my head for this morning. In truth, I was going to write about our Friendship Friday Spotlight: Sammich and Lollipops, an ABDL YouTubing couple who hail from the U.K. If you're interested, please go and check them out. But my heart wasn't in that post, and I can't simply write a post to write it. I have to feel it. I write how I speak, and as such if the passion isn't there then it feels impossible to simply cover a topic for you.
This morning my mind is elsewhere. I feel small, fragile, and sensitive. This morning I want to discuss anxiety. Anxiety is one of those strange beasts that I've been walking with for quite some time now. I'm not a mental health professional. I don't have a degree in psychology, so I can't tell you what you should and shouldn't do if you are living with this illness (like I am). I can only bare my soul to you and let you know what works for me, and what hasn't.
Lately I've been pondering if anxiety ever truly "goes away". The concept of being "cured" is interesting, especially when it comes to mental health. No one with depression, anxiety, or any other mental illness wants to live with such a burden. It simply happens. It manifests, and suddenly you have this beast…. this wolf… staring you down face to face. I'll admit that for years my anxiety was menacing. But then, it became more annoying and frustrating. The intrusive thoughts went from being scary to just being a pain in the rump!
After rallying a team of doctors around me and going on SSRI medication for a year, I began to learn how to cope with my anxiety. But that still leaves the question: does anxiety ever truly go away? Or do we simply re-train the brain to not get worked up as fast? I don't know the answer. I wish I had answers for you. For now, I simply cope and strive to be productive. I do small things daily to push myself into a place of optimism and positivity. I pray in the shower. (That's probably weird to admit, but oh well). I'm not really a religious person, but I'd like to think that God can hear my prayers so I envision giving him my anxiety and stress. It's comforting.
I also daydream to lift the feeling of anxiousness. As someone who dislikes the dark, most of my daydreams dance in the light. I think of sunrise. I think of multi-colored balloons. One of these days I'm going to hold a giant bunch of multi-colored balloons just like the movie, "Up"! ❤ That will be amazing. I turn on Irish music, one of my favorite genres, and let my mind be free.
And while this all helps and most of the time my emotional baseline is happy, carefree, and cheerful, there are days when I'm not. There are days when I grow weary from the battle against my anxiety and I feel too tired to push myself into happiness. My heart feels heavy. That tiny voice inside of me cries out to have hope! Have courage! Persevere! And I will…. I will…. I just need a moment to rest. To rest, and to acknowledge that the fight is hard. Anxiety is a beast and one that I wonder if I'll face for the rest of my life.
Do scars ever really go away? Or do we simply become experts at living with our demons?
I try my hardest not to be melancholy in this space, so you all have my deepest apologies. I just feel like I always want to be real on here with you. I want to be transparent. I want to show you my good days, and those days (like today) when things aren't so bubbly. Yes, I'm Penny Berry… this blogger and adult Little, but behind the screen… I'm just me. Just kitten. A woman and person with flesh and blood walking through life trying to find her way. I'm a hippie and a dreamer who is slightly neurotic and lives with anxiety.
If you made it this far in the post, you're awesome and I love you! Thank you all for your amazing support on here. Today I'm going to take the day for self-care and rest. It's Friday which means the promise of good times over the weekend… and… AND!… tomorrow is Chinese New Years! So before I forget, let me wish all my fellow friends who are celebrating:
I'll be back tonight with the next installment of The Dominant's Den, and until then, stay kind to one another.
Much love,

5 Signs You May Need a New Roof
Modern shingles are produced for durability and longevity, but that doesn't mean they're meant to last forever.
Your Roof's Age
Modern shingles are durable and long-lasting, but that doesn't mean they're meant to last forever. Many factors can contribute to the deterioration of your shingles. If your roof is 20-plus years old, then you might want to consider replacing it.
Shingles Are Curling
If your shingles are curling, cupping, missing granules, cracked, or just looking old and worn out then you might want to consider replacing your roof. Also, be on the lookout for dark streaks. This could be a sign of a much bigger problem that will likely lead to you needing to replace your roof.
Neighbors Replace Their Roof
If you are unaware how long it's been since the roof on your current house has been replaced, a good gauge is to check in with your neighbors. The chances are good that if others in your neighborhood are opting for a new roof, then it might be time to look at options for updating yours as well.
Moss growth can occur due to low sunlight and moist climate, presenting problems beyond esthetics. Moss can hold moisture against your roof and can cause severe damage during the winter months. Merely removing the moss is just one step you should take. Be prepared to treat your roof, so the moss does not return the following season.
Stains and Leaks
Water stains on your ceiling are often an indication that there is an issue with your roof. Water seeping down through the tiles can cause all kinds of damage, including providing a breeding ground for dangerous molds. It's best to address these issues immediately as the damage will only escalate if left unchecked.

text: Thunderstorm After a 3-years-abstinence Airpower was back in Zeltweg last weekend. It was my third time in a row and my travel to this spectacle started early in the morning at 5am. Okay, it was 5:30. My deep sleep was stronger than my alarm clock. Getting to Styria (and getting away) was quite relaxed. No troubles, no traffic jam and no waiting period. Neither on the highway nor in the shuttle bus between parking space and airfield. Well organized, Bundesheer. Good job. Regarding the show there was just one I was interested in: the military jets. Eurofighter, F-16, F/A-18 Hornet, MIG-29 and Gripen made my heart beat faster. Awesome. The only downer: speed limitation. Means: no sonic boom.

The Boone County Office of Emergency Management will go ahead with its monthly test of outdoor warning sirens Wednesday despite a statewide tornado drill that included the use of those sirens Tuesday.
The sirens are tested on the first Wednesday of each month at noon.
"The monthly test is an important part of our preparedness as a community and provides a reminder to citizens to reflect upon their individual, family and community preparedness," Tom Hurley, deputy director of Boone County Emergency Management, said in a news release. Including Tuesday's test, residents are getting two reminders in one week just before severe weather ramps up in the spring, Hurley said.

(Amtrak 176)
(Amtrak 20)
Photos by George W. Hamlin, Sweetbriar, Virginia, May 11, 2018
Last week I had the opportunity to photograph two Amtrak trains in close proximity. One was a long-haul train with a historic name; the other was a nameless Northeast Regional schedule. They were Amtrak 176 on its way to Boston from Roanoke, and Amtrak 20, the northbound Crescent. The location is Sweetbriar, Virginia, north of Lynchburg.
Let's make it clear that this is not about the relative profitability of the two service types, cost allocation, accounting methods, etc. I don't have access to the data necessary to do this, and thus, will concentrate on what I see as trends that might impact their relative importance going forward, including the long-term prospects of both.
To start with the obvious, long-haul services have been in decline for many years at Amtrak. Many remember the Lone Star, Desert Wind, Pioneer and North Coast Hiawatha, for example, and the Broadway Limited in the east. Take a look at this photo of the Crescent arriving Atlanta on November 17, 1984. Fifteen cars are behind the two F40PH locomotives; the rear six operate only between New York and Atlanta.
Today's Crescent typically utilizes nine cars, including four coaches, two sleepers, diner, lounge and baggage. To put this in perspective, between 1984 and 2018, the population of the U.S. has grown by about 90 million people, yet today's Crescent has less capacity than it did in 1984.
The ostensible purpose of establishing Amtrak was to preserve a "national network" of passenger train service. In reality, the Penn Central bankruptcy had produced an urgent need to get passenger train losses off the backs of the freight railroads, lest the bankruptcy disease spread elsewhere. Providing a 'national' mandate would help to accomplish this, and, in any case, there was a belief that this would be an interim solution until all intercity passenger trains would be discontinued.
Following the establishment of Amtrak, other travel options expanded as the Interstate highway system's growth continued, and airline deregulation produced a crop of "new entrants" that had the effect of reducing the cost of airline tickets, particularly on longer hauls.
At Amtrak's inception, "corridors" didn't really exist outside the Northeast. While there once had been extensive service on short and medium-haul routes in the Midwest, for example, this had essentially dried up by the early 1970s.
Today, six pairs of Amtrak Northeast Regional trains are extended into Virginia: two each to Richmond and Newport News, along with single trips to Norfolk and Roanoke. The very successful San Joaquin service began with a single round trip between Oakland and Bakersfield, and now has seven round trips, including a pair to and from Sacramento. Other short/medium markets have also experienced frequency increases.
California, once famed for its "car culture", has developed significant corridor operations in both northern and southern California. Interestingly, with the exception of Amtrak's Coast Starlight, there is no rail connectivity between the two entities; both are region-centric.
Maine wasn't on the map in 1971, it now has frequent Amtrak service to Boston. North Carolina's "Piedmont" service between Charlotte and Raleigh will add a third round trip in June. Frequencies on Amtrak's Cascades and Hiawatha routes are far greater than what was available on April 30, 1971, prior to Amtrak.
Apparently we have been ignoring the obvious, even though the evidence is in plain sight: conventional long distance rail travel in the U.S. has entered into a long, slow and likely, terminal, decline. To borrow a previous Amtrak phrase, it seems to be on the glide path to oblivion.
Thus, I assert that there are two very inconvenient truths about Amtrak's "national" route system mandate:
In reality, if there had been a desire for a really "national" passenger train system in 1971, the goal of those planning what became Amtrak should have been finding the source of funding for continued service on, for example, the Union Pacific from Omaha to Salt Lake City and beyond to Los Angeles and Portland. Were Rock Springs and Green River truly less deserving of access to a national system than Dodge City and La Junta?
While useful in getting Amtrak launched politically, the idea of widespread geographical support resulting from inclusion of long-haul routes may actually been a trap, in terms of meeting Amtrak's financial needs. What has resulted is essentially a "subsistence stipend". Politicians seem leery of killing the long-haul routes, but the level of support that is being provided is not enough to effectively fund Amtrak's needs.
On the other hand, as demonstrated by growth in corridor-type services, where there is a real need for intercity rail passenger service, and constituents receive benefits that can be claimed politically, money can be found.
This suggests strongly that Amtrak should continue to expand its corridor operations, including working with political coalitions to secure funding for them on a project-specific basis. Even when they are not geographically contiguous, there should be economies of scale in procurement, and probably other areas such as training and maintenance, for example. The recent acquisition of Siemens Charger diesel locomotives for use in multiple state-sponsored services provides an example.
Finally, what should be done about the remaining long-haul services? It seems unlikely that the current equipment can be replaced when it is obsolete. Current trains should be evaluated carefully, on a system basis, with those that don't make the cut eliminated.
In this process, it would be useful to consider non-traditional solutions, including reduced frequency; VIA Rail operates the Canadian twice or three times weekly. Another possibility is having Amtrak operate long-haul trains, with on-board service contracted out.
Passenger rail, including Amtrak, can continue to contribute to America's mobility needs. Done properly, an Amtrak considerably larger than today's version could evolve; its route system probably won't be contiguous. Forcing Amtrak to conform to political needs of fifty years ago is not going to produce a viable future.

6 Trick Ways Win Playing DominoQQ Terpercaya. Even the name is no stranger, dominoes are games that use dominoes. In general, what is commonly known may be that the cards are share equally among the players.

If you've been running Facebook ads over the last year, you've probably noticed the cost of such ads is going up. You get a lot less reach for your buck and your organic reach is next to nothing.
However, over any paid marketing media out there, Facebook is by far the most profitable way to go…when you know this "secret" strategy I'm about to share with you!
This strategy will literally cut your marketing costs in half and give you the opportunity to double—if not triple—your ROI.
The Way Most Bars Advertise on Facebook is Killing Their Pocket Book
When bar or restaurant owners reach out to me for help with digital marketing, the first thing I look at is their Facebook ads. I'd say 9 out of 10 are just "boosting" their posts and trying to hit the masses. Their "goal" is to put their ad in front of as many people as they can.
This is a waste of money as you're hitting a very broad audience, a large percentage of which don't have any interest at all in doing business with you. Making good money from your marketing isn't about hitting as many people as you can, it's about hitting the right people with your marketing.
Read this: This New Marketing Strategy Will Pack Your Bar with Little Effort or Money
Don't you think you'd get much better results if you only hit people who actually had an interest in doing business with you?
Here's the New Facebook Strategy that Gives You the Best Bang for Your Buck!
In the video below I'm going to cover what I like to call "building your warm audience." The benefit of only marketing to your warm audience is that you spend less money because you're not hitting the masses. You're only targeting people who have an interest in doing business with you, which means you'll get a much higher ROI from your ad dollars.
A warm audience is built up of three to four different audiences:
- People who engaged with your Facebook page over the last year.
- People who engaged with your Instagram page over the last year.
- People whose phone number and email address you have.
- People who have hit any page of your website in the last 6 months.
You take all these groups, put them into one audience, and this is the audience you should be focusing on when you want to promote specials and events. This is not a strategy for generating new customers.
This is about 10 to 15 minutes' worth of upfront work that will give you the best success rate with marketing your specials and promotions to your most profitable audiences.

I see your point.Still, I'd argue that the lack of control in the middle of the park has as much to do with our bad defending as the defenders themselves.
Joyce just tweeted...Ashley Williams, Kevin Mirallas, Cuco Martina and Nikola Vlasic have been told to train away from Evertons first team squad by Marco Silva.Im surprised re Vlasic but ruthless all the same. (Pochettino does this type of thing - see Lennon)
Sounds like his Turkey move is on hold until/if we bring in a forward.
I hope never to see the likes of yannick bolasie play for us again.Horrible footballer.
Let's not forget that we were also playing Valencia, who are a better team than us and a CL team. And we have a new manager just starting to build his team. Everton wasn't built in a day.
Agreed. But were you expecting that to be solved this summer?I'm not having a pop, but the reason I'm maybe going a bit easier and not expecting too much is that I think we need to calm down and give Silva time to build his side. I feel like if the expectations are too high, then the fans might get on Silva's back far too quickly and then we'll end up putting pressure on him, and changing manager again, and back to square one.We finished 8th last year with all manner of chaos going on, 3 managers etc. We've improved the squad this summer, and I think we'll get somewhere around 7th-9th without too much trouble.I'm not even thinking about the Top 6, unless one of them has a complete meltdown season. Maybe people will accuse me of being unambitious and not following NSNO, but the last few seasons have been pretty awful and I genuinely think we need a stabilising season.
So we're pretty much coming from the same place, worried about the new regime not getting time to build. You're just focusing more on the team side, and I'm focusing on the fan expectation side.
Forgotten all about him already, not sure the Russian league will help him advance as a player.
@brap2 You saying we need to be looking at replacing Coleman in the not too distant future.Get a load of Wan-Bissaka for palace. Im already going all in on this one.
Got sent off didnt he.

ella Cinnamon Group 5 is Chaired by Charles McLachlan, a professional coach who works with business leaders to transform their businesses and break through personal barriers to success from 25+ years of experience of developing and growing business: start-ups to global organisations.
Charles started ella Cinnamon Group 5 three years ago and it is one of the special ella forums Partner groups. This one is sponsored by the Cinnamon Network which encourages social action charities to partner with churches using a social action franchising model. The Group meet monthly at the offices of Stewardship in London.
Quotes from some of the members of this unique group:
"Inspiring, informative, challenging and encouraging. The Cinnamon ella group coaching is proving to be all of these and more. As a fairly new CEO, it's great to have some safe, confidential space to discuss pertinent issues facing the charity, staff or myself and be challenged on my role in making things happen that will be for the benefit of all. I would really encourage those who would value some space and time out to think and learn more about the next steps to up your game in being a CEO to join in. It's also a highly valuable experience and environment for new CEO's learning the ropes. I always encourage more women to join in."
Mandy Marshall, Co-Director of Restored
"Membership of the Cinnamon ella group has already helped me to focus my leadership on what I need to do in order to move forward, at a very significant time both nationally and personally. Within the first couple of Forum, I found an impetus for new focus in what I am doing. There is a real sense of renewed purpose through activities that expose each participant to self-evaluation and reflection. In the sharing of real and current issues, the group coaching offers many insights but also confirms and affirms the 'inner voice' too. I could believe that 'nobody else is experiencing what I am going through', but the evidence is that this is not true. It becomes evident, by exposing myself to sharing issues in this non-threatening, confidential forum of colleagues, that the collective mind – an amazingly shared empathy, insight and understanding – provides inspiration for personal leadership action."
Chris Jones, CEO The Storehouse Project
"The 1-2-1s included in the package have offered me protected time to accelerate understanding and the energy to do what I need. When I've been stuck with certain issues, my coach, Charles McLachlan, has opened up a surprising number of alternatives and insights. Working with someone who believes passionately that God's people are called to bring about Kingdom transformation in the marketplace has meant that our sessions have been prayerful as well as profoundly productive."
Neil Perry, CEO of Romsey Mill
"A wise person asked me: 'If you want to make an organisation really fly then who is the most important person in that organisation to invest in?' 'Invest in the leader.' I said, 'Without a great leader, the organisation will never be great."
Richard Beard, CEO of The Jericho Foundation

Yesterday I went to the auto shop of a friend of mine to ask him some questions about some repairs that I need for my car. While walking through the workshop, I could hear the sound of various tools doing their job very quickly in the hands of the mechanics. I was impressed by the agility with which they worked, so I thought that they should surely use the best and most useful automotive air tool for mechanics.
So I took the opportunity to ask:
Why should I use pneumatic tools?
And he told me,
If you have a hard and frequent repairing work to do, you should have a reliable and efficient set of pneumatic tools. Air tools have characteristics that make them ideal for a mechanical workshop; they will usually be small, light, and very manageable and their maintenance will be more economical compared to other tools such as electric ones. They can also be used in almost any environmental condition and consume much fewer resources.
How to use air tools?
A set of pneumatic tools is made up of 3 elements: a compressor, an air supply line (hose), and the air tool at the end of the line; all of them joined by connectors that generally allow quick change of tools.
These elements work thanks to the movement of air from the compressor to the air tool. When the tool is pulsed and activated, a burst of compressed air is pushed through the line, this drives the tool and the required mechanical work is generated, all this happens at great speed.
Known Types of air tools:
In the market there is a wide variety of pneumatic tools; each one specializes in a different kind of work. This is a list of the types of tools that cannot be missing in your workshop:
– For drilling or cutting: drills, hammers, chisels, and saws.
– To tighten or loosen: ratchets, impact wrenches and screwdrivers.
– For finishing works: Sanders, polishers and paint sprays.
– To fix or hold: riveters and staplers.
There are also other tools such as tire inflators and blowguns.
My recommended list of air-driven tools:
If you want to begin your own collection of automotive air tools, to get an air tool starter set is a great idea. Generally, they contain the tools needed for the main type of job you can face. One of the best pneumatic tools set you can find is the Craftsman 10 pc. Air Tool Set.
Its main pieces are:
– 3/8 in. pneumatic ratchet wrench that works at 160 RPM of speed, provides 45 ft./lbs. of torque and has a 1-1/8 in. ratchet head.
– 1/2 in. impact wrench that features 1300 strokes per minute at 7000 RPM with 230 ft./lbs. of torque.
– One air hammer formed by an alloy treated barrel and heat-treated piston.
– 3/8 in. 25 ft. high-pressure air hose.
And below you can see our list of the best and most useful automotive air tools for mechanics:
Impact Wrench: 1/2″ Impact Wrench, Air Impact Driver W/550'/Lbs. Torque (Campbell Hausfeld TL140200AV).
Air Ratchets: Ingersoll Rand 105-L2 1/4-Inch Air Ratchet.
Inflator Gauge: AstroAI Digital Tire Inflator with Pressure Gauge.
Spray Guns: TCP Global Brand HVLP Spray Gun Set .
Each spray gun comes with their respective cup. Also is provided an air regulator and a maintenance kit.
Cut-Off Tool: AirCat 6505 Composite Quiet Cut-Off Tool .
Air Sander: Professional Air Random Orbital Palm Sander.
Air Hammer:Ingersoll Rand Air Hammer 114GQC.
Air Drill: Campbell Hausfeld TL054500AV Reversible Air Drill Keyless.
Finally, if you are a fan of mechanics or if you plan to start your own repair shop, with the information we provided here, you can select the best automotive air tools that a mechanic could desire.

When I was 22 years old, I was officially diagnosed with anxiety and depression—finally putting a name to something I never properly realized I had. Throughout my teen years I always thought my experiences were due to teen angst or a result of not knowing how to control my emotions, or even that I just wasn't good at being a person.
There wasn't a lot in the way of understanding or encouragement when it came to telling other people. Even now, revealing that I have some kind of mental health issue is met with "You should think positive thoughts," which is a nice sentiment but just reveals a misunderstanding of how mental illness works and serves to dismiss the issue.
Similarly, in the media I've consumed since I was a child, optimism is shown as a cure to all ills. How many times have you watched a TV show or movie where a character's problem is solved by a rousing speech or being told that everything is going to be fine? There's hardly any acknowledgement of ongoing issues. So I was surprised when, earlier this year, I decided to replay the entire Kingdom Hearts series and realized that throughout each game, the characters recognize and accept their problems and actively work towards fixing them.
The Hero's Story
For those who don't know, the Kingdom Hearts series is a videogame series that features crossovers between the different worlds of Disney films as well as Square-Enix properties like Final Fantasy. It was an odd idea when it launched back in 2002, but the formula worked and it's developed a massive following.
There are two scenes in the first Kingdom Hearts where the protagonist, Sora, laments losing his friends and worries that his companions Donald and Goofy—again, odd idea but it works—won't accomplish their goals. These are relatively short scenes, but for me, having Sora worry about what will happen in the future was reassuring. Too often in videogames, manga, and anime, the protagonist is happy-go-lucky and optimistic to a fault. There's nary a falter to their confidence—they're absolutely determined no matter what. But Sora doesn't know if he'll succeed. But with the support of his friends, he's able to keep going despite his doubts.
This attitude carries on through the entire series. In Birth by Sleep, the prequel that takes place ten years before Kingdom Hearts, all three protagonists are met with an uncertain fate as they are tasked with finding out who has put the various worlds of the game in danger. To the very end of the story they are met with adversity and betrayals, but they stick together—supporting one another through the worst. The unusual part of the story is that the heroes fail anyway, the villain triumphs. But we're told that despite this loss, there's still hope.
In A Fragmentary Passage, taking place during the end of Kingdom Hearts, a character named Aqua, is wandering the Realm of Darkness for an entire decade. As the name implies, it's not a great place to be. During this period, Aqua has no clear goals and no concept of time. It's the perfect metaphor for long-term mental illness. But even in uncertainty, Aqua finds her purpose and realizes she still has important work to do. Sora and every other protagonist of the series know they have to keep going, but they always carry the pain of their past. Rather than dwelling on them, though, they come to understand their feelings and grow as people.
It's always been frustrating for me when the protagonist learns nothing from their journey and continues on with the story—as a 12-year-old, I was upset about Ash losing the Indigo League in Pokemon and continuing to be a terrible trainer afterwards. In contrast, at the end of Dream Drop Distance, the latest game in the timeline, Sora fails his important Keyblade Master exam. He knows where he messed up and he realizes what he has to do to fix it.
Heroes Helping Heroes
I have always and will always find characters who acknowledge their weaknesses to be far more interesting than those who exhibit blind confidence and faith in their own abilities. Izuku Midoriya of My Hero Academia begins the story as a kid who is trying his best to become a hero in a world where 80% of the global population has some kind of power—Midoriya is one of the unlucky few without one. He's nervous and emotional but portrayed in a sympathetic way. He's a huge nerd who loves the heroes who become professionals and idolizes All Might, the world's number one hero.
After a chance encounter with All Might in which Midoriya recklessly attempts to save one of his classmates from a villain, All Might reveals that he can bestow his own power, One For All, to him. The man he looks up not only giving him a power which he's wanted since he was a child, but also offering to train him is too much for Midoriya—he bawls his eyes out in a scene that anticipates how deftly the series will deal with intense emotions.
But All Might tells Midoriya that he can't just give him this power—he has to work for it. And so, Midoriya spends all summer training so his body can handle the strain of accepting the powerful quirk. But even when he finally receives it, he can't fully control his power. He often hurts himself when attempting to do anything involving his quirk, learning to use his self-destructive strength in more clever ways.
My Hero Academia also features a character named Shoto Todoroki, who is the result of his father's deliberate breeding program to produce a hero to surpass All Might. His dad isn't a great guy, and Todoroki has a strained relationship with him. In battle, he refuses to use his father's fire powers as a small protest against him. Todoroki also hasn't seen his abused mother in years. He shuts himself off from other characters and is often quiet and reserved.
In season two, Todoroki faces off against Midoriya in a tournament match. Midoriya expresses how disappointed he is that Todoroki refuses to use his full potential, vocally insisting that Todoroki can use his fire side without letting down his mother or becoming his father. And he does, unleashing his flames in a climactic finale that's also notable because Midoriya, the main character of the series, loses. But even in defeat, he's happy that he's helped Todoroki.
Picking Each Other Up
I didn't see a therapist for my anxiety and depression until 7 years after I was diagnosed. The dismissal of mental illness encourages sufferers to bury our problems deep down and put on a brave face, like the heroes of so many stories. But nothing will get better if we don't stare our issues in the face.
If Sora didn't acknowledge his worries, if Aqua didn't acknowledge her fears, if Midoriya didn't acknowledge his failings, and if Todoroki didn't acknowledge his past, they would all be vastly different characters with none of the emotional weight that makes them so appealing.
In life, we're often looking for a quick cure to whatever ails us—why wouldn't we? Pain is by definition awful, and it's natural to want to escape it. And yet mental illness is often rooted so deeply that it takes years to address. It can be invigorating, then, to engage with power fantasies where simple determination solves all of the protagonist's problems.
But for me, it's been more valuable to see stories where the protagonists really struggle, where individual willpower and bravery isn't enough, where they don't always win. These stories remind us that we're not alone. They remind us that we're human and fallible, but that by reaching out to others and working to face our problems rather than avoid them, we can pick ourselves up, dust off, and try again.

The Swing: USB hubs get classy
USB hubs being the neccessity they are, it's always nice to see one that looks like it could class up the joint. And this one really is a nice bit of architecture. They merged a Newton's Cradle with a USB hub. The Boynq Swing gracefully suspends four USB cables underneath an arch. It just sits and waits and looks classy.
Aside from it's awesome design, it's pretty much your typical USB hub, sporting DC power for multiple high-powered USB devices and fuses to protect against power surges. It's got a sweet look and I hope other hub designers are taking note. We'd like to see more like this.

Many people living in New York City know how frustrating it can be to receive a package in the mail. The redelivery notice asks you to be home when you're supposed to be at work. A birthday gift finally delivered to your apartment door gets stolen. Most chalk it up to life in the Big Apple. But what if that package is the prescription your mother needs to fight breast cancer, or the antiretrovirals that keep HIV at bay? Missing that package transforms an inconvenience into something dangerous to your health.
This is the crisis facing countless New Yorkers with life-threatening and chronic conditions — including cancer, lupus, HIV, multiple sclerosis, hemophilia, rheumatoid arthritis, and many others — who are required by the health insurance industry to use mail order pharmacies. The industry is exploiting a loophole in a law passed in 2011. The law was meant to ensure consumer choice, but instead it allows the insurance industry to compel New Yorkers to receive their prescriptions by mail. The law enables insurance companies to mandate unachievable "terms and conditions" on local pharmacies, preventing them from qualifying to fill prescriptions deemed "specialty" by the industry, even if they match the cost.
The result? Prescriptions are lost in the mail or stolen, requiring consumers to pay the full cost for replacements. Drug regimens are interrupted, which leads to resistance and more expensive treatment. Prescriptions that require refrigeration are left to spoil at the front door, and confidential health information is disclosed to neighbors who receive medications in error.
|Janet Weinberg
Insurance companies claim to offer individual exemptions, enabling the use of a local pharmacy. However, they do not provide consumers with transparent and adequate notice of how to apply. Often, exemptions are granted arbitrarily and only to those who have the time and health to work through a long and frustrating appeals process, with no guarantee of relief.
Mandatory mail order pharmacies are not only bad for public health; they're also bad for small businesses. Pharmacies, from local stores to the big chains, are being shut out by the health insurance companies and millions of dollars are directed out of state. The important community connection between a patient and her neighborhood pharmacist is replaced by an unfamiliar voice on the phone that has no relationship with patients, no incentive to ensure that medications arrive on time, and no accountability if a prescription is lost in the mail or stolen. In 2012, the Legislature and Governor ensured that State Medicaid enrollees were not forced to use mail order pharmacies. The law should be the same for all New Yorkers.
|Letitia James
This bill enjoys bi-partisan support from a broad coalition of over 60 healthcare and patient advocacy organizations representing New Yorkers across the state. As the bill works its way through the state legislature, insurance companies can do the right thing by notifying all consumers about their right to request a hardship exemption and by laying out a clear process for obtaining it.
Twenty-nine years ago, GMHC launched AIDS Walk to engage the public on the growing AIDS epidemic. Since then, we have fought to protect and promote public health issues affecting all New Yorkers, including those living with HIV/AIDS. Now, as we walk to commemorate those we have lost and to show our collective resolve for fair public health policies, let's make sure all New Yorkers can choose to fill their lifesaving prescriptions by mail or at their local pharmacy, whichever is best for them and their loved ones.
Janet Weinberg is the Interim CEO and Chief Operating Officer of GMHC; The Honorable Letitia "Tish" James is New York City's Public Advocate

Victoria Falls – one of the seven natural wonders of the world – has long welcomed millions of tourists drawn in by the spectacle of the Zambezi river cascading into a huge gorge///CRIMSON TAZVINZWA
But the arrival of the worst drought in a century has reduced the usual torrents of water to little more than a trickle, fuelling fears that climate change could destroy the attraction, which borders Zimbabwe and Zambia.
It's currently the dry season in the region and it's not unusual for the waters to slow, but this year officials have declared an unprecedented decline in the water level.
Richard Beilfuss, head of the International Crane Foundation, who has studied the Zambezi for the past three decades, thinks climate change is delaying the monsoon, "concentrating rain in bigger events which are then much harder to store, and a much longer, excruciating dry season".
Stretches of the kilometre-long natural wonder are currently nothing but dry stone.
"In previous years, when it gets dry, it's not to this extent. This [is] our first experience of seeing it like this," Dominic Nyambe, a seller of tourist handicrafts in his 30s said outside his shop in Livingstone, on the Zambian side.
"It affects us, because… clients… can see on the internet [that the falls are low]… We don't have so many tourists."
Zimbabwe and Zambia have suffered power cuts as they are heavily reliant on hydropower from plants at the Kariba Dam which is on the Zambezi river upstream of the waterfalls. Data from the Zambezi River Authority shows water flow at its lowest since 1995, and well under the long term average. Zambian president Edgar Lungu has called it "a stark reminder of what climate change is doing to our environment".
Yet scientists are cautious about categorically blaming climate change, as there is always seasonal variation in levels.
Harald Kling, hydrologist at engineering firm Poyry and a Zambezi river expert, said climate science deals in decades, not particular years, "so it's sometimes difficult to say this is because of climate change because droughts have always occurred".
"If they become more frequent, then you can start saying, ok, this may be climate change," he added.
He said early climate models had predicted more frequent dry years in the Zambezi basin, but that "what was surprising was that it [drought] has been so frequent" ― the last drought was only three years ago. As the river gets hotter, 437 million cubic metres of water are evaporating every second, he said.
In Livingstone this week, four tourists stared into a mostly dry chasm normally gushing with white water. German student Benjamin Konig was disappointed.
"Seems to be not much [water], a few rocky stones with a little water between it," he said.
Whilst the northern hemisphere experienced record-breaking temperatures during summer 2019, the southern half of the globe also experienced an unusually warm summer.

From April 25 to 27, a quintet of students from the School of Business traveled to the International Collegiate Business Strategy Competition in Anaheim, California. Accompanied by associate professor of management Duncan Duke, the group took home first place at the prestigious competition featuring dozens of schools from around the globe.
The students — Meryl Berger '19, Ginny Fimmano '19, Ferdinand Mase '19, Demetri D'Orsaneo, and Dalton Elias — were selected from the School of Business capstone Strategic Management course. The opportunity was made possible by Jay and Sandra Gelb, who personally funded the grant proposal which made the team's trip possible.
The competition required the students to take over the management of a simulated manufacturing company and to assume responsibility for key strategic and operational decisions in marketing, finance and operations. They were also responsible for delivering a strategic business plan, an annual report and a formal oral presentation to judges who acted as the company's Board of Directors. The first stage of the competition required a tremendous amount of work to be done remotely in Ithaca, with assistance from Duke.
"Prior to arriving in Anaheim, we would need to make decisions to plug into our forecaster model on a weekly basis, while it turned into bi-weekly once the trip came closer," Elias said.
Once in Anaheim, the groups were no longer able to rely on their faculty advisors, which required intense collaboration. This is where the group was able to distinguish themselves from their competition and impress the judges enough to take home top honors.
"Our team's ability to make decisions internally and generate strategic policy speaks to the value of a School of Business education," he said.
In addition to bragging rights, the group members earned valuable practical experience and networking opportunities that will serve them well as they leave South Hill and enter the workforce.
"Congratulations to our team of students and Professor Duke for making all of us extremely proud," said Sean Reid, Dean of the School of Business. "It's a great day to be a Bomber!"

Your taste of life in Paris and France!
(Mask by Genuine France)
Putting a Smile on Mask-Wearing
Monday, May 4, 2020 • Paris, France
Don't miss a single issue of Parler Paris! "Whitelist" Parler Paris by adding "[email protected]" to your address book.
Adrian Leeds Group Facebook Pages
If you haven't done so already, LIKE us today!
Dear Parler Paris Reader,
Friday was May Day, or Labor Day in France. Normally, everyone takes the day off and everything is closed, but, it seemed like any other day to me. In past years, I'd host a picnic with friends as a way to force myself to do something fun and not to work...but, no picnic this year.
Saturday morning, like the Groundhog Day life we're in, I did my usual routine. "Sans la femme de ménage" (housekeeperless), I changed the sheets and washed them, watered the plants, cleaned the toilet and bathroom, wiped down all the surfaces and mopped all the floors. My housekeeper of 25 years, who I hope will return when lockdown is over, should be quite proud of me — I've found things to clean we didn't even know existed. I must admit, however, that I'll be very happy when she returns and while she's making the whole apartment sparkle, I can head out for other more important things...like a manicure.
Like the rest of you women who are spoiled like I am by having regular manicures, lockdown has been a disaster for my hands and nails. Washing of the hands a zillion times per day (at least, it feels that way), then creaming them up, hasn't really done much to help. It's a small price to pay for staying healthy, however, and knock on wood...so far, so good. I've managed to stay away from infection. But, the moment my manicurist calls to make an appointment for me, count me in...no, count me out and there!
Fortunately, I'm not paranoid about catching Covid-19. I gave up fear of death a long time ago, along with fear in general. It's a worthless emotion based on what we imagine, not what we know. Twenty-first century philosopher Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now, told an interviewer, "The reason why you don't put your hand in the fire is not because of fear, it's because you know that you'll get burned. You don't need fear to avoid unnecessary danger — just a minimum of intelligence and common sense." Further on he clarified it more: "This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something that is happening now." So, I do what I can do, knowing what I know, and then let life take its course. The absence of fear is the definition of courage and quite empowering. If you aren't already letting go, now's a good time to remove the words "fear," "concern," "anxious," "worried," etc., from your vocabulary for good.
Daily I've taken to long walks, making use of the one hour granted us and staying somewhere near the one kilometer radius from home restriction. The weather in Paris has been extraordinarily beautiful since the beginning of lockdown mid March, begging us all to take advantage of it...so I have been doing just that. The skies have been bluer and the air cleaner than ever before, likely due to the lack of pollution. As a result, I've been getting more exercise than normal and going further from home than usual, too.
Saturday, there were more people and cars on the streets than I've seen since it all began here March 17th. Rue de Bretagne looked relatively status-quo except that the purveyors of food were open for business. All the cafés and other merchants are still shut tight and will be for some time to come. Social distancing meant dodging people, but doable, now that conditioning keeps us all so remote from one another. With traffic busier, the noise level was up and I found myself wishing the cars and motorbikes would all go away again.
It's interesting what aspects we actually will like from this period of confinement and what we will continue to do long after it's over. When confinement in France ends May 11th, it won't really end fully. We'll gradually go back to a more normal life, "petit à petit." Even without the government decrees, my prediction is that we'll all be putting our toes in the water to test the temperature before we dive in.
The government decrees, as recently announced May 1st, have first classified the various departments, marking three maps of France by zones as green, orange or red, first depending on the percentage of emergency visits made for suspected Covid-19 cases (whether confirmed or not) in the previous seven days.
The second map is based on the proportion of usually open intensive care beds that are now occupied by Covid-19 patients (a rate that can exceed 100%, as additional beds have been created to cope with the epidemic). It shows departments' ability to cope with new severe cases.
The third map is a synthesis of the first two.Every day, new maps are presented with a decisive map issued on May 7th to determine how deconfinement measures will be applied, department by department as of May 11th. Those living in green departments will find themselves the least confined, while those in red departments will be stricter.
Click here to see the most recent maps.
What's in store for us, as proposed as of the May 11th deconfinement, to be discussed today in parliament, are:
* No travel outside of 100 kilometers from home...
See the official infographic explaining the full measures here.
How this plays out in reality is still to be seen. I am not counting any chickens, at least not yet. There are lots of eggs yet to lay. One thing I know for sure, protective masks are now part of our wardrobe and I might need one for every outfit. It's hard to tell how long mask-wearing will be "de rigueur," so best be prepared. The masks I ordered from Les Indiennes de Nîmes haven't arrived yet by post, so I am masklessly holding my breath when I'm less than two meters from someone else, but not holding it for the postman since delivery these days is so uncertain.
In the interim, while Patty Sadauskas is in confinement in Nîmes, she has taken her exceptional photos of France and created a variety of cool masks now purchasable on Redbubble. So, if you want to be more stylish than any of your friends and show how much you love France, be sure to order a few for yourself (buy 4 or more and get a discount) and then as gifts for all your friends. They'll love you for it.
A la prochaine...

The Zac Brown Band is another game changing group. Lead singer Zac Brown (again, from Georgia) set the table for early success by making a strong jam band following in smaller clubs in the South Eastern side. Shortly after number one airplay of "Chicken Fried" they were playing arenas, then stadiums and creating their own music fests. The unconventional and organic approach struck a chord with all music fans winning them a Grammy Award for the best new artist and a non stop string of number one songs. Selling tickets is a brilliant way of cash. In fact, many a person has made this their bread and butter. But for those wanting just yet another income, this task is also cut recycle online. Teens, students or parents who apparent part-time job should search in to selling tickets. With folks wanting notice a show everyday, question this job will all of them with that most needed amount.

Gov. Larry Hogan lifts state of emergency in Baltimore
Hogan: 'Baltimore City is an amazing city, a city that I love'
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has rescinded the state of emergency in Baltimore and pledged state resources to help rebuild the city.
Mobile users tap here for video
Hogan made the announcement at his Baltimore office during a press conference Wednesday morning. Baltimore City went from chaos to peace, and the relative tranquility appears to be holding to the governor's satisfaction.
"I am pleased to report that all National Guard, state police and other police personnel, and all the assets that we brought in have now been removed from the city, and I have rescinded the executive order which instituted the state of emergency," Hogan said. "We believe the city is safe."
The state of emergency was declared last week after protesting turned violent in Baltimore City. Over the course of the next week, 3,000 Maryland National Guard members and 1,000 law enforcement officers from across the state and country converged on the city to help restore order.
"They worked tirelessly around the clock, they practiced discipline and restraint to keep the peace and they did so superbly. They are heroes walking among us," Hogan said.
The governor said he and state officials visited every corner of the city, visited injured police officers, had lunch with National Guard members and met with state troopers and local police officers and firefighters.
"I saw things that I will never forget. We saw devastation and destruction, but we also saw incredible acts of kindness," Hogan said. "While I will never forget the violence and lawlessness that tore the city apart, I will always remember the acts of charity and forgiveness."
The governor said more than 250 businesses were damaged or destroyed and 170 cars were vandalized. He said 159 fires were set in the city Monday night alone. He said 130 police officers and firefighters were injured or hospitalized in the line of duty.
Hogan said Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford, who managed state operations in Annapolis while the governor was in Baltimore, will lead the state's role in Baltimore's cleanup and recovery efforts.
"The events of recent days have only strengthened my faith in our ability to work together to overcome our common challenges," Hogan said.
While the total costs of responding to the crisis has yet to be fully calculated, Hogan said the state will withdraw $20 million from the Rainy Day Fund to cover part of the expense. He also announced the appointment of former state Delegate Keiffer Mitchell Jr. as director of community relations, acting as the state's liaison to the city.
"Baltimore City is an amazing city, a city that I love, but it's obviously a city with long-standing, serious issues and problems. The state has a role in assisting Baltimore City government's efforts to find common sense, creative and new solutions to these urban challenges," Hogan said.
The governor said work continues to resolve issues in the city and the state, and that it will take time.
"Tensions still remain high. Emotions are still inflamed. Nobody has dealt with this in Maryland since 1968," Hogan said. "These problems have taken many decades to grow and they will likely take decades to repair."
The governor thanked a number of state and local officials for their efforts and leadership, and specifically thanked those who helped restore calm to the city.
"No one deserves more thanks than the brave police officers, soldiers, firefighters and first responders," Hogan said. "They are heroes walking among us and they deserve the deep thanks of a grateful city and state."
The governor also thanked state workers for their hard work during the crisis. He said the administration has found $68 million to fund a 2 percent cost-of-living increase for state workers, which had been in contention over the legislative session.
Through the governor's website MarylandUnites.org, the state has collected more than $292,000 in donations that will be shared with organizations in Baltimore City.
According to the governor's office:
- The Maryland Food Bank made deliveries to food pantries in the following areas: Mondawmin, Druid Hill, Pimlico, Forest Park, Union Square, Howard Park and Irvington. An estimated 1,500-2,500 cases of food (approximately 31,500-52,500 pounds) of primarily frozen chicken, canned goods and water have been delivered.
- The Governor's Office of Community Initiatives organized 2,600 volunteers who volunteered for clean-up on Pennsylvania Avenue. There were 20,000 meals and 1,000 bottles of water provided to law enforcement and first responders.
- Due to the closure of the Maryland Department of Human Resources offices on May 28, many food stamp and cash assistance recipients were unable recertify their eligibility for benefits. DHR is extending their benefits by one month.
- In addition to the food and water donations, transportation, shelter and other resources provided during the state of emergency, all state agencies will continue to work with members of the community to provide both information and resources in the coming months.
The governor declined to comment on the ongoing investigation and charges filed against six Baltimore police officers in the death of Freddie Gray.
The Hogan administration marked its 100th day in office on Friday.

Province Minister Benson Kapaya paid a courtesy call on him at his
The acting DC says there is urgent need for relief food for the
islanders as they are faced with a serious hunger situation.
Mr. Hajongola said the situation has been made worse by the fact that
the recent skirmishes in the neighboruring Democratic Republic of
Congo (DRC) brought refugees to the area who contributed to the
depletion of food.
He said the other factor that has contributed to the hunger situation is the
lack of an alternative source of food on the island.
And General Kapaya said Government is concerned with the
development at the Island and is working round the clock to ensure
that relief food is provided for the people of Kilwa.
General Kapaya said the geographical location of the Island made it
difficult for the resident to access the main land to get food.
The Provincial Minister said Government has through the

Vice President has already done an assessment of the required relief
