Othello "Tush, never tell me! I take it much unkindly/ that thou, Iago, who hast had my purse/ as if the strings were thine, shouldst know of this./" (I. i. 1-3) From the beginning of Othello, Iago is portrayed as an antagonist, a villain who acts out of only his own interest. The acts that Iago engages in throughout Shakespeare's Othello are erroneous acts. Iago is not insane and he can comprehend the difference between right and wrong.
Shakespeare is known for his ability to focus on human flaws and teach us lessons from their misfortune.Iago's destiny with evil is due to his own flaws, jealousy, selfishness, and deceit. Because of these insecurities, Iago will stop at nothing to get even with Othello. By the end of the play, Iago becomes blind to all other aspects of life and solely focuses on his enemy.

By using and exploiting others' flaws, Iago pollutes all with his deceit and lies, turning them against each other to get what he wants. This evil villain makes sure he gets what he wants by taking advantage of the gullible characters no matter what the cost. When Iago tells Othello that Brabantio will try to annul his marriage to Desdemona, Othello replies that what he has done (as general of the Venetian army) for Venice will outweigh anything that Brabantio can say, "Let him do his spite./ My services which I have the signiory/ which shall out-tongue his complaints.
'Tis yet to know/ which, when I know that boasting is an honor,/ I shall promulgate – I fetch my life and being from men of royal siege." (I.ii. 18-27) In the beginning of the play, Othello is clearly confident in his prowess as a respectable military general and elite man of the time.
He has no concerns with Desdemona's father and feels he can have whatever he wants because of his status. Othello is already allowing his head to swell and overlook any possible conflict. He is not at all worried and so his demise begins. Iago's jealousy is depicted early when he is suspicious of Othello pursuing his own wife, Emilia.Iago tries to have Desdemona's father do the work for him, but it does not work.
Iago's rage grows and in the end of act I, he reveals his plan. "The moor is of a free and open nature/ that thinks men honest that but seem to be so;/ and will as tenderly be led by th' nose/ as asses are./ I hav't! It is engend'red! Hell and night/ must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light./" (I. iii.
380-385) Iago is filled with hate for the Moor and his whole life is now consumed with revenge.Also at the end of the first scene in Cyprus, Iago speaks of his own motivations for his deceit. He says of Desdemona, "Now I do love her too;/ not out of absolute lust, though for peradventure/ I do stand accountant for as great a sin,/ but partly led to diet my revenge/ for that I do suspect the lusty Moor/ hath leaped into my seat." (II. i.
268-272) He desired revenge for his own suspicion that Othello has gone to bed with Emilia. It is was killing on the inside and Iago would not be happy, "Till I am evened with him, wife for wife;/ or failing so, yet that I put the Moor/ at least into a jealousy so strong/ that judgement cannot cure." (II.i. 276-279) He reveals that he wants to kill Othello from the inside, make him succumb under his own power. Othello was married happily to Desdemona, but Iago planted some doubts in Othello's mind concerning her "unchaste" lifestyle. Iago told Othello that his wife had been unfaithful and was "lying in Cassio's bed" while they were married. Othello chose to believe this false story that Iago schemes up, and because of this his marriage was destroyed.
All he could think about was his sweet Desdemona having a relationship with his first lieutenant. In doing this, he was also acting out of selfishness for not being promoted as Cassio was."One Michael Cassio, a Florentine/ a fellow almost damned in a fair wife/ that never set a squadron in the field,/ nor the division of a battle knows./" (I. i. 20-23) His selfishness is evident for he is not at all happy or pleased that his friend has been honored, he can only focus on himself. Iago easily deceived Othello, but what Othello did not realize was that Iago was good at what he did.
He didn't know Roderigo was also helping him with his plot.He manipulated his wife Emilia to bring him the Moor's handkerchief that he gave to Desdemona to plant in Cassio's room. This eventually lead to Othello finding Cassio with the handkerchief and falsely verifying Desdemona's affair with Cassio. Iago hinted all the time about his evil plan like in Act III, Scene III where he warned Othello to, "Beware, my lord, of jealousy!/ It is a green-eyed monster, which doth mock.
/ The meet it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss/ who, certain of his fate, loves no wronger;/ but O, what damned minutes tell he o'er/ who dotes, yet doubts – suspects loves!/" (III. iii. 164-170) Iago was well aware of what he was doing with Othello.His actions here are completely for his own benefit and he has been blinded by his rage. Othello told Iago at the beginning of the play that he loved Desdemona. Explaining to Iago why he deserved her, Othello said that he loved her so much that he had given up some precious freedom. He said, "But that I love the gentle Desdemona,/ I would not my unhoused free condition/ put into circumscription and confine/ for the sea's worth.
" (I. i. 25-28) The idea is that both the value of his freedom and the strength of his love would be great and would not die.
After Iago lied to Othello he saw Desdemona as an unfaithful wife. The person, whom he loved and was married to, he did not believe. Iago's deceptiveness is perfectly executed here and Othello obviously has no clue as to what is really going on.
Othello has now placed more trust into Iago then into his own wife. Iago is able to expose Othello's tragic flaw, naiveness, and easily is able to fog Othello's mind. Iago knew that pulling off his scheme would be difficult and said on the eve of Othello's plan to kill his wife and Iago to kill Cassio, "This is the night/ that either makes me or fordoes me quite./" (V.
ii. 129-130) As Iago speaks to Roderigo, he reveals some interesting points. "Were I the Moor, I would not be Iago./ In following him, I follow but myself;/ heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty,/ but seeming so, for my peculiar end;/ for when my outward action doth demonstrate/ the native act and figure of my heart./" (I. i. 59-62) Iago reveals that he has lost all respect and loyalty to Othello and is only concerned about the consequences that will await him by God.
He believes that he is doing well, that God will reward him for acting nobly and for his cause. This is an excellent example of his selfishness because Iago doesn't care about what happens to anyone else or whom he hurts to get what he feels he deserves.A great puppeteer, Iago is a deceitful man driven by selfishness. He is the one who runs the show making the characters say what he wants to hear with his cunning ways. He deceives the Othello and Roderigo who he claims to love.
By noticing and using others' flaws, Iago successfully avenged his grudge against Othello, Roderigo, and Desdemona. He steps over everything and everyone in his way to get what he wants and his ways will in turn ultimately end the play in tragedy.English Essays.

A leader of ISIS learned the hard way this week that Twitter may not be a future option for attempting to reach out to fellow Muslims for his international jihad.
Earlier this week, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi issued a call for Muslims worldwide to join his drive for an international caliphate.
Anti-oppression activist Iyad El-Baghdadi translated portions of the speech and posted them to Twitter, including one quote from al-Baghdadi reading: "ISIS leaders: We urgently call upon every Muslim to join the fight, especially those in the land of the two shrines (Saudi Arabia), rise."
Twitter users — including quite a few Muslims — mocked the request, filling El-Baghdadi's Twitter timeline with hilarious insults, with one user stating, "Sorry, but I can't trust a group that uses a deflating football and Arabic comic sans as their logo."
From there is went downhill for ISIS.

Religion is probably the biggest divider in world history, but for those that believe in God it is central to our existence. Share your views.

Tim and Ruth - beautiful.
A few weeks ago Tim and Ruth were married in the US, and a month or so before they were married in England. (Sadly) I did not photograph their English wedding, and when Ruth emailed the images for me to view (I'm getting real with you all right now) I was thinking... Not fair. I wanted to shoot that wedding too! But after their beautiful day here on the North Shore I was thinking... yea we've got it good! So many beautiful places right here in our backyard. With the mist and the Hamilton/Ispwich location I was definitely feeling the English Countryside vibe. Ruth and Tim are such a joy to be around, and their wedding was lovely and really fun. I laughed so hard during the toasts I thought I might... well never mind, but those English guys are FUNNY! So I hope you enjoy the pictures. Thank you Ruth and Tim for having me. I can't wait to share the rest with you!

Last night I saw a dream..
I saw us
We were sitting at a beach
Me with a guitar
& You with your cutest smile
As we looked at waves coming back & forth
I started playing your favourite song
And you rested your head on my shoulder
Then you started kissing me
on cheeks , nose, ear
Just like you always try to annoy me
And I act like being annoyed
But in fact, I loved getting annoyed by you
I stopped playing & hugged you tight
Placed my head in your lap
You moved your fingers through my hair
& I kept looking in your eyes
Isn't this the dream which we dreamt all the time?
Hello Everyone! This is something new I tried for the very first time. Last Night I Saw A Dream is not the usual poem I write where I repeat a simple phrase throughout the poem.
So, do let me know if I should write more of this or not in comments below.
Have A read !
Hello , If anyone wants someone to talk to or wants to suggest me topics to write on then feel free to reach out.

First, it generates unattractive bumps, lumps, and bulges within your new paint, leaving your house searching a lot less than stellar. On the other hand, the bigger problem is that the flaking old layer will prevent the brand new paint from long lasting as long. So that you can adhere completely for long-lasting, attractive outcomes, the refreshing coat requires being applied instantly to your wood. Consider that, especially in difficult to get to regions, Do it yourself elimination normally leaves a thing being preferred. Pro portray contractors can be certain that the trim, gables, and soffits are all totally stripped of previous, peeling paint therefore the new will adhere properly for total, total protection.

Today's associations face an incredibly challenging landscape of building, engaging and maintaining their membership. With increased access to information, current and prospective members are demanding that organizations play a more visible and quantifiable role in advancing their fields. What's more, those professionals are expecting associations to provide opportunities that allow them to engage on key issues.
One way to truly make an impact with members is to build an effective advocacy campaign. Formulating a year-long engagement strategy that keeps them involved with the association is a key element to driving successful engagement when urgent industry issues arise.
The advocacy calendar is the foundation for regular communication throughout the year. Engagement can begin early with a "Nice to Meet You" campaign wherein advocates introduce themselves to elected officials at local, state and federal levels. In August, it's a good idea to thank representatives for their service, and in December, your group can send holiday greetings. During election years, associations can also lead initiatives to encourage voting participation. Thoughtful messaging is as fundamental as it is considerate. It helps keep an association top of mind with members, increases influence and ultimately primes elected officials to take immediate action when called upon.
For many organizations, designing and leading campaigns that advance their industry or mission are crucial. This can be achieved in a number of ways.
Building a Movement. The American Society of Interior Designers communicates with its membership at least three times per month. Text messages break through the morass of emails, and the association has found that text-messaging tools generate a much higher response rate. Texts create more of a direct connection, one that encourages community members to take immediate action and empowers them with the tools to also engage friends and colleagues.
Promoting Engagement. Organizations that focus on establishing a foundation for engagement throughout the year tend to be more successful when it comes time to take action on specific issues. The National Association of Manufacturers does this in a variety of ways. For example, on a recent lobby day, the association's CEO issued a call to support trade legislation by encouraging everyone present at the keynote dinner to contact lawmakers from their smartphones. Approximately 70 percent of those in attendance participated, and thousands of communications were sent. The organization also uses technology to encourage members to vote in upcoming elections. This is of great importance because if association members don't vote, the organization's influence on local and federal policy could be limited.
A Call to Action. The Professional Beauty Association uses advocacy initiatives throughout the year to cultivate engagement with its members. Regular communication paid off last year when it came time to rally members in support of the passage of Indiana's House Bill 1172, which sought to clarify the definition of cosmetology. The association uses a variety of channels to communicate with its members, including text and social media messages. For its "Support HB 1172" campaign, however, it chose a different approach; it tested using an image in an e-blast rather than sending a message with text. More than 300 members participated in the grassroots effort and, to the association's pleasure, the bill passed in March. The campaign was successful because association members saw and understood the tangible impact of the bill, they felt a sense of urgency, the campaign was simple, and the tools to take action were easy.
The Follow-Through. Many savvy associations regularly use technology to communicate with members and establish a foundation for successful advocacy engagement. But advocacy doesn't have to—and really shouldn't—end after members have taken action. Associations can maintain participation among members by keeping them informed of the outcomes of their actions and providing more opportunities for them to engage with issues that matter to your group and industry.

We should always be cautious about what we grab hold of in our lives. Sometimes, without even realizing that we're putting ourselves and loved ones at serious risk, we become too consumed with things that are potentially injurious to our wellbeing.
When you peruse the various posts on this website, be sure to insulate yourself from potential harm. A lot of the content we write about here is heavy material. It can potentially suck the life out of you if you're not careful. Having stated that, it's still important to be aware of what is happening in our world and the machinations constantly taking place.
An electrician often handles dangerous wires that contain deadly electricity. As long as the electrician takes proper precautions and wears special gloves that insulate him from the electric current, there is no chance of the person getting shocked.
Remember as you read the various articles here to properly insulate yourself so that you are not harmed. We're not trying to promote fear and negativity on NoFakeNews. Unfortunately, there's a lot of negative stuff happening throughout the world and it's important to know the truth and be informed about this information.
Understand the world we live in, but also take the time to protect yourself and loved ones.

In the kingdom of God, God always is the first one to move. God is always first in reaching out to you. Our response to the Holy Spirit when God is reaching out to us determines our destiny.
There was a season when I had been getting out bed every morning for several months, usually between 4 and 5 a.m., reaching out to God for some major answers. Now, I am not an early-morning-prayer type of person. I like praying later in the morning or late at night. But I was determined for my breakthrough in my life and ministry.
One morning I became overwhelmingly exasperated. My heart was frustrated and annoyed. I lifted up my voice and said, "God, I have been reaching out to You for weeks. I have been pursuing You with all my heart. Where is my breakthrough?" Then I heard His voice to my heart. It was like a thought, but I knew it had not come from me. His voice said, "You think you have been pursuing me. You are confused, as I am reaching out to you. The breath you feel on the back of your neck, that's me. That is how close I am. I am pursuing you, and I will never stop. You are the object of my love."
Nothing changed that day except for my love deepened for the one who was reaching out to me. That was the day I discovered the supernatural power of reach. I believe those who understand the power of God's reach in 2019 will experience a year of great harvest both in their lives and ministry.

The Bible is full of examples of the importance of reach. The clearest example of this is God Himself. The entire Bible is the story of how much God loves us and what He is willing to do for that love. He reached for us first in the beginning, even when He knew we would turn away from Him and choose sin (See 1 John 4:19). He reached for us by making a way to restore us back to Him and gave His only Son to die so we could live in His presence for eternity. He reaches for us now, every day, through blessings, His Word, His Holy Spirit and even through other people. There was never, is never and never will be a time when God is not reaching for us and pursuing us with His love.
Jesus teaches us to reach for God. When Jesus went to the cross, died, overcame hell and death, and then resurrected, He tore the veil between us and God. Jesus made a way for us to be able to reach out to and communicate with God for ourselves.
Nonetheless, it is up to us to reach for Him. We cannot develop our relationship with God if we do not spend time with Him. You don't have to make it complicated. You can simply pray throughout your day and thank Him in your heart. God is always with you, so talking to Him is one of the easiest things you can do. You can also reach out for Him by spending time in your Bible, worship, tithing and going to church.
Jesus also teaches us to reach to others and bring them to God. Why is it that when we first accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we don't just pop up into heaven? What is the point of spending 80-plus years around distractions, pain, sin and grief? We are still here because we have a job to do. There are billions of people in the world on their way to eternal separation from God and suffering, and they don't even know it. It is our job to reach those people with the love of God and help bring them to Him. Thankfully, God didn't leave us to this on our own. God shows us how to love in His Word and moves us to love through His Spirit.
The next time you are afraid, alone, happy or going through a big life moment, remember you don't have to go through it alone. Reach to God, because He is reaching to you. Then reach to other people to help show them they can be connected too. This connection with Him and with other people will change your harvest this year and forever after.

text: Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr Sartre called it a "nervous condition": That destructive compulsion felt by people of color to view themselves through the eyes of white supremacy. Dev Hynes, the British multi-instrumentalist and producer behind Blood Orange, deconstructs that nervous condition on his fourth full-length album, Negro Swan. At times a heartrending lament of black depression, and an ebullient assertion of black existence, it has at its epicenter the power to transmute suffering into flourishing—a metamorphosis not unlike that of a duckling into a swan. With the dancehall-flavored Freetown Sound and the pastel '80s retro of Cupid Deluxe as precursors, it's evident early on that Negro Swan is Hynes's darkest album to date. But it's also his most streamlined and cohesive. The music here is thoroughly pensive in its subject matter and disjointed in its unconventional beat switches. Hynes's ability as a tastemaker comes to the forefront as well, with fruitful features from Steve Lacy, A$AP Rocky, Diddy and Ian Isiah, to name a few contributors. Hynes is personal, searing and close to the bone on Negro Swan, easily making it the most exceptional record of his career thus far. Police sirens emerge in the murky reverie of "Dagenham Dream." A gunshot pierces the melancholic piano of "Vulture Baby." These instances of violence rupture the woozy soundscape of Negro Swan, serving as an indicators of the brutality of racism and casting a shadow of uneasiness over the 16-song project. On the hazy "Dagenham Dream," Hynes relives a childhood memory of getting sent to the hospital after being jumped for his painted nails and makeup. Not conforming has dangerous consequences, Hynes is forced to learn, and performing normalcy is necessary for survival, transgender right activist Janet Mock tells us in a monologue at the track's end. But, as much as they might want to, people of color and queer folk cannot belong, no matter how much they perform. As clouded synths unfurl over warped guitar, the solemn yearning of "Charcoal Baby" is palpable: "No one wants to be the odd one out at times/ No one wants to be the negro swan." Despite these woeful conclusions, other tracks here remarkably manage to glimmer with hope and resilience. "Jewelry" is a fragmented mélange of feather light saxophone, honeyed synths and sputtering drum machines, capped off by a self-possessed respite of distorted guitar. Mock again provides an illuminating interlude at the song's beginning: "We were not ever welcomed in, we were not invited/ Yet we walk in and we show all the way up." This urge to overcome is the bedrock of the album and the centerpiece of album closer "Smoke." Backed solely by a springy guitar, Hynes repeats over and over the last lyrics of the album: "The sun comes in, my heart fulfills within." In the music video for "Jewelry" and the album's cover art, the artist Kai the Black Angel sits on the base of a car's open passenger window as the vehicle crawls down a city street. His posture is that of a dancer's, just as strong as it is emotive, and perched on his back are a pair of fluffy white-feathered angel wings. With Negro Swan, Hynes paints a similar portrait of the black psyche. Like Kai, it is precariously suspended above danger, but it is also ethereal and irrepressible.

In the current studies, we explore the relationship between anxiety / perceived stress and time perspectives. Study 1 tested the relationship between the dimensions of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) and anxiety in a male sample. Study 2 examined the relationship between time perspectives and perceived stress in a sample of students. Both studies considered the Deviation of the Balanced Time Perspective (DBTP). In Study 1 psychiatrists of the Mental Health Centre of the Armed Forces in Athens diagnosed gen-eralised anxiety in a number of male participants of the overall sample (n=204). All participants completed a validated Greek translation of the ZTPI. In Study 2 a sample of students (n= 71) of Panteion University completed the Greek translations of the ZTPI and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14 items). In Study 1 a negative correlation between Future orientation and anxiety was found. The DBTP was higher in persons with anxiety. In Study 2 the Past Negative and Present Fatalistic orientations correlated with high-perceived stress as assumed. Furthermore, high-perceived stress was associated with a higher DBTP. The ZTPI is particularly important for the explanation of perceived stress. DBTP, Past Negative and Present Fatalistic perspectives are important factors of influence. The measurement of anxiety should be reexamined .

Students in New York not only got to witness the incredible impact of home fire sprinklers--they helped build its power.
High schoolers from Troy and Rochester, New York, with an interest in construction built from scratch two pods simulating living rooms. One unit included a home fire sprinkler, the other didn't. According to a recent article on the construction, "the participating students gained practical construction experience in building the structure. More importantly, they also learned about fire codes and fire safety, the importance of home fire sprinklers, and how a sprinkler system is installed and operates."
NFPA, FEMA, and others supplied funding for the demonstrations, which were spearheaded by the New York State Association of Fire Chiefs, a member of the New York Fire Sprinkler Initiative. The demonstrations received stellar coverage from a number of local news outlets. One student told a reporter that the effect fire had in the nonsprinklered unit made him realize the necessity of fire sprinklers in homes.

To Prescribe or Not to Prescribe: That is the Question
The last time TCPR covered the topic of psychotropics in pregnancy was less than two years ago, in February of 2009. Since then, however, some new treatment guidelines have been published, and they appear to be useful to clinicians —a nice change from most guidelines that are so all-inclusive that they might as well be called textbooks.
These new guidelines were issued jointly by our APA and by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and were published in both a psychiatric journal (Yonkers et al, General Hospital Psychiatry 2009;31(5):403–413) and an obstetric journal (Yonkers et al, Obstetrics and Gynecology 2009;114(3): 703–713). In addition to providing a nice summary of the neonatal risks of antidepressant exposure, the paper offers clear, concise, and easy to follow algorithms for the management of depression in three scenarios doctors are likely to encounter. (See the sidebar on page 2 for a summary of these recommendations.)
The guidelines suggest an individualized approach. Psychotherapy might be your first line treatment for depressed women who present to your office either already pregnant or who are planning to become pregnant and want to avoid medications. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) have both been shown to be effective in these circumstances (Spinelli M, Endicott J, Am J Psychiatry 2003;160(3):555–562). The guidelines advise you to use antidepressants for women with moderate to severe symptoms (ie, a patient with suicidal or psychotic symptoms), women with a history of severe or recurrent depression, women with significant psychiatric comorbidities (ie, panic disorder, eating disorder, or substance use disorder), or women who did not respond previously to psychotherapy.
Since these guidelines were released, a number of articles have been published expanding the evidence base further. Here's an update.
The risk of cardiac malformations from SSRIs
In 2005, the FDA required GlaxoSmithKline to change Paxil's (paroxetine) pregnancy risk category from C (ie, not enough studies to feel confident) to risk category D (ie, there is positive evidence of fetal risk, so try to avoid if at all possible). Most psychiatrists have studiously avoided prescribing Paxil to pregnant women since then. But as Adrienne Einarson discusses in this month's interview, Paxil's black sheep status is rather controversial.
Recently, two meta-analyses investigating the effects of exposure to SSRIs in early pregnancy (with a focus on paroxetine) have been published (Wurst et al, Birth Defects Research 2010; 88:159–170, and Gentile S et al, J Clin Psychiatry 2009;70(3):414–422). In the Wurst paper, which included a review of twenty reports, first trimester paroxetine use was associated with an increased prevalence of both cardiac defects specifically (prevalence odds ratio, 1.46; confidence interval, 1.17 to 1.82), and all congenital defects (prevalence odds ratio, 1.24; confidence interval 1.08 to 1.43). The Gentile meta-analysis, on the other hand, appeared to give paroxetine a clean bill of health. While both papers included some of the same studies, the Wurst meta-analysis included only published studies, whereas the Gentile meta-analysis included data from unpublished and not yet published studies to minimize publication bias. This may explain the two papers' different conclusions.
In a retrospective cohort study of more than 490,000 children born in Denmark, researchers mined a huge teratogenic database called Eurocat (European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies). (For an explanation of some of this methodology jargon, see this month's interview.) After analyzing prescription records and reported birth defects, they found an apparent increased prevalence of cardiac septal defects in children whose mothers were prescribed an SSRI (particularly sertraline (Zoloft) and citalopram (Celexa)) in early pregnancy. Children born to women who had taken an SSRI in pregnancy had a rate of cardiac defects of 0.9%—nearly twice that of children born to women who had not taken an SSRI in pregnancy, 0.5%. Interestingly, the highest prevalence of cardiac defects (2.1%) was found for children of women who had filled prescriptions for more than one type of SSRI (Pedersen LH et al, BMJ 2009;339:b3569).
However, these results have to be taken with a grain of salt because of the inherent methodological shortcomings of retrospective studies. For example, the study relied on mothers' memories of which drugs they took, and people may be more likely to remember taking an SSRI if their baby was born with a heart defect. This so-called "recall bias" could artificially inflate the dangers of antidepressants.
The risks beyond congenital malformations: other adverse outcomes of antidepressant use
Antidepressant exposure in pregnancy may lead to adverse outcomes other than birth defects, such as pre-term birth, small for gestational age (SGA) birth, or birth complications. A recent well-designed controlled prospective investigation gives us some insight. A total of 238 pregnant women were enrolled in the study, and they fell into five categories: 1) Continuous SSRI during most or all of the pregnancy (N=48); 2) Partial SSRI at some point during pregnancy, but at least one full trimester without exposure (N=23); 3) No SSRI, but continuous depression (N=14); 4) No SSRI, partial depression (N=22) (these were women who were depressed during some portion of their pregnancy, but who took no SSRIs); 5) No SSRI, no depression (N=131). All women were followed with maternal assessments at 20, 30, and 36 weeks of gestation, and after birth, with neonatal outcomes assessed by a blinded review of delivery records.
The results were mostly reassuring. Neither SSRIs nor depression increased the risk for minor physical anomalies or reduced maternal or infant weight. The major finding of the study, however, was that infants exposed to either SSRIs or depression continuously during pregnancy had preterm birth rates exceeding 20%, compared to 6% for nonexposed, nondepressed women (Wisner et al, Am J Psychiatry 2009;166(5):557–566).
Contrary to these results, however, Toh and colleagues found that SSRIs taken late in pregnancy were associated with a significant risk of small for gestational age (SGA) babies, and women receiving non-SSRI antidepressants were more likely to deliver both premature and SGA babies (Toh et al, J Clin Psychopharmacol 2009;29(6):555–560). This was a retrospective cohort study and is therefore prone to the same methodological deficiencies previously noted.
As you can see, the research findings throughout the field of "perinatal psychiatry" are frustratingly contradictory. It is clear, however, that antidepressants are unlikely to cause significant birth defects, which is good news. But whether they cause other problems such as preterm births or miscarriages is a matter of continuing debate. The problem is that untreated depression alone can cause a variety of poor pregnancy outcomes, and it has been difficult to control for this effect in studies of antidepressant exposure.
Beyond therapy: Non-prescription options for the treatment of depression in pregnancy
Potential alternatives to medications or therapy for depression in pregnancy include acupuncture, exercise, phototherapy, natural remedies, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. (For a review of these, see Tjoa C et al, Women's Health 2010;6(4):565–576). As an example, researchers at Stanford University enrolled 150 depressed pregnant women into a controlled trial of acupuncture. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either acupuncture specific for depression, sham acupuncture, or massage. Women receiving the specific acupuncture regimen had a higher antidepressant response rate (63%) than the combined control groups (44%) (Manber et al, Obstet Gynecol 2010;115(3):511–20).
TCPR VERDICT: Antidepressants, in general, probably do not cause birth defects, though there is still debate regarding paroxetine's effects. Antidepressants may cause problems with premature birth, low birth weight, and miscarriage, but the data are too contradictory and incomplete to know how significant these risks are.

The fundamental and primary purpose, as well as obligation, of any business is to provide a service or products to satisfy customers that will provide employees compensation and job retention commensurate with their skills, as well as remuneration to their investors. To do all this, the company must make a profit.
That in and of itself is the fulfillment of their responsibility to the community at large. A company that cannot meet these standards and goes out of business is abrogating its principal social responsibility to its customers, its employees, its investors and the community.
If it can, in addition to its mission as we have outlined it, provide some measure of social responsibility to the community, so much the better.
To whatever extent time and profits allow and are available good business practice recommends contributions to the communities' needs. Companies have for many years donated resources and money to this endeavor.
Way back in the 30's this was called community service. The Little League baseball parks in all the small towns had its outfield walls covered with ads from local businesses—the gasoline station, cleaners, grocer and drug store. This paid for the players' jerseys and the equipment.
By the time we got to the 60's, this endeavor was called "Public Relations" and went way beyond Little League. Now there were sponsorships of community-wide events and civic affairs on a large scale, and then became "Community Relations."
This all grew into the naming of sports venues, big money sponsorship of spelling bees, debate competition, golf tournaments, and all manner of community activities. Companies do this to help the communities and present a good image.
As we got past the turn of the century, with growing concerns for the environment, all this community outreach expanded into "Corporate Social Responsibility" (CSR). How do you define CSR?
CSR programs allow companies to plan the elimination of their waste and have as little impact on the environment as possible. A positive impact on society may be accomplished through educational and social programs. The social programs can include charities and using locally-grown products.
The term CSR originated in the 1960s as a term used to explain legal and moral responsibilities of a corporation.
This new paradigm was brought home to me in hearing about Gabriele's grandson's immersion in CSR as a business school graduate at the University of Colorado.
Here is a partial description of Nathan's outline of the CSR educational goals:
"The Six Prime Principles of CSR provide us with a roadmap for how best to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) into management education through the implementation of transformative, issue-centered learning and extensive reflective practice and fieldwork. Transformative learning involves profoundly understanding oneself in relation to colleagues, communities, ecosystems and their interdependencies. In the implementation of PRME Principles 2 and 3, individuals undergo a process of introspection, exploring and revising their beliefs, values, behavior, and their unconscious bias. In issue-centered learning, students apply their values to global issues through a methodological framework that entails a holistic and inclusive perspective of society, the environment and economics. Issue-centered learning is fundamentally multidisciplinary, adopting a systems approach to problem-solving, which enables future globally responsible leaders to practice complex decision-making processes while maintaining consideration for all aspects of the triple bottom line. Lastly, reflective practice and fieldwork include a non-textbook approach to education, where students receive invaluable experiential learning. Internships and project work can substitute for the textbook and give students a hands-on experience of business concepts through practical ventures. This empirical form of learning coincides with the last three PRME principles of research, partnership, and dialogue. Future globally responsible leaders develop invaluable connections, tools, and experience to successfully better the world by helping to achieve the SDGs with business knowledge as their weapon.
"The implementation of this roadmap empowers students to become set to deliver immeasurable impact as sustainable entrepreneurs, responsible leaders, and enlightened statesmen capable of reflective awareness. As sustainable entrepreneurs, they will maintain a visionary and long-term perspective, ensuring that SDGs such as responsible consumption and production and climate action are valued. As responsible leaders, they will focus on inclusion and promote gender equality and reduce inequalities."
Heavy stuff…and now he's successfully practicing this course of action with a firm in San Diego.

"Uncle Sam" Closing in on Andrew Bennett
The Office of the Attorney General has completed the requisite paperwork and is awaiting Foreign Minister Wilfred Elrington's signature before proceeding with the extradition request for attorney Andrew Bennett, who is wanted for extradition to the United States on money laundering charges. His freedom, however, may be cut short in the days to come as it is expected that at the earliest, Foreign Minister Elrington will sign the paperwork on Friday morning. Once those documents have been penned, the Attorney General's Office will then present the bundle to Chief Magistrate Sharon Frazer, who will in turn prepare a provisional warrant for Bennett's arrest. The forty-six-year-old attorney is wanted by U.S. authorities following charges of money laundering that were brought against him in Puerto Rico. Bennett was indicted on seven counts in absentia by a grand jury in that U.S. overseas territory and a warrant for his arrest goes back to July 2015. Bennett was busted in a sting that was organized by the Drug Enforcement Administration after it was informed by an informant in 2013 that political figures and high-profile bankers were operating money laundering activities through two international banks in Belize. He is said to have received a bag of money containing two hundred and fifty thousand U.S. dollars at the Riverside Tavern from the undercover agent.

Submerged Arc Products Coming Soon
Submerged Arc Welding is an automated process where operators are not needed for handling the welding equipments. Submerged Arc Welding or Subarc works by using a constantly fed wire electrode and a layer of fusible, granular material called flux. This flux protects the arc and molten metal.
Arc welding is an excellent process for rebuilding and hard facing. Some of the advantages of this process include great operating factors in mechanized applications and deep weld penetrations where distortion is less. Slag must be removed post-weld and during inter-pass.
Advantages of submerged arc welding include:
* You can easily perform this welding both indoors and outdoors.
* You do not need to apply any pressure for this welding process, thanks to the electric current.
* Creates good fusion and quickly welds the thin metal sheets.
* Automated, comfortable and environmentally friendly.
How to weld using the submerged arc welder?
* Check all the equipment that you use for welding and always read the manual before welding.
* Protect yourself by wearing welding gears such as welding helmets, welding gloves and welding clothes.
* After welding, do not rub your eyes immediately, and unplug the submerged arc-welding machine.
* Clean your working area properly and always properly clean your eyes.
Prepare metal before welding:
Always prepare the metal before welding so that you can acquire the quick welding process. The surface you are going to weld should be flat and clean, to achieve a firm welding process. If any rust is present on the surface, remove it and ensure that there is no rust on the metal. Always remove the grease from the metal surface.

With two advanced degrees, 13 years in business positions at large European companies, and 32 years of teaching and administrative experience at universities around the globe, Hermant has built an impressive résumé.
Equally impressive are his humanitarian credentials.
The homeless and unemployed, domestic abuse survivors, financially challenged students, and children with heart defects have been aided by the benevolence of Hermant and his wife, Marylene, who have opened their home and hearts to people for decades. And this spring they will join thousands of others by hosting a Syrian immigrant at their home in Nantes, France, a port city on the Loire River. "We've been married forty years and have always had someone living in our home," Hermant said. "Now we are quite used to it."
What may seem ordinary to Hermant—unbounded generosity, a spirit of kindness, and a lasting commitment to help others—is nothing short of extraordinary to many others.
Born in Lyon, France, Hermant transferred to Colby his junior year. Encouraged to study international business by Colby's late Professor of Administrative Science Walter Zukowski, he went on to earn an M.B.A. from the University of Indiana, Bloomington, a D.E.A. from the University of Rennes, and two faculty development certificates from Harvard.
Hermant worked in France for Fiat Iveco Trucks and Mobil Oil France and consulted for clients that included British Petroleum and others before moving into academia in 1977. He's served as a dean at business schools in Paris, Angers, and Nantes. Specializing in management and banking strategy, he's been a visiting professor at universities in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the United States, including at the Harvard Business School. Since 1992 he's been at Audencia Business School in Nantes, where he's professor emeritus.
Hermant's penchant for giving began at Colby. His first effort was volunteering at a blood drive at Colby, followed by assisting an elderly woman in Indiana. He's corresponded with prison inmates and accompanied cancer patients to appointments. Over time he worked with different populations and broadened his involvement.
"For people in despair, taking the time to listen to them, to be with them is most important."—Jacques Hermant '71
It's not about donating money, but giving of himself. "For people in despair, taking the time to listen to them, to be with them" is most important, he says. He goes way beyond listening to connect with individuals and truly help them.
"He's very generous of his time and his energy," said Sara Crisp '80, who worked as Hermant's au pair when he lived in a Paris suburb in the 1980s. Crisp, now a painter living in southern Maine, felt welcomed into his family, and she grew personally from the conversations, history, and culture to which he exposed her.
Hermant's family includes four children: two biological, one adopted from Korea, and one integrated in the clan when he could not afford $10,000 school fees. "The mother was making a hundred dollars a month as a teacher in Madagascar," Hermant said. "One day we called him and invited him to live with us. He's been with us for six years."
Another student came to Hermant after being rejected for funding for a fellowship because he lacked a sufficient track record. So Hermant established a foundation to provide grants for him and other such students, funding one project a year from 1992 to 2002. His Fondation Internationale pour l'Humanitaire awarded travel grants to students that in turn triggered funding from larger organizations. He watched joyfully as his "very little travel grants" opened doors.
These days Hermant is involved with a domestic abuse organization in Nantes and he shelters survivors in his home. He's also involved with Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque Enfants du Monde, an organization that provides cardiac surgery for children from medically underserved countries. Since 2005 the Hermants have been host parents to eight children, including an 18-month-old Iraqi toddler who had heart surgery Feb. 15. These children, in France without their parents, stay with the Hermants for two months.
After the toddler returns home, Hermant will prepare for the Syrian immigrant, who will rest in Nantes to acclimate and assimilate into French culture while awaiting permanent housing and employment.
Though retired, Hermant travels worldwide teaching bankers and professionals in countries that include Vietnam, Morocco, Lebanon, and Australia. He plans to work a few more years and then spend more time with his children and grandsons. And, of course, "We'll keep having people in our home," he said with a laugh. "You feel good when you help people."
"It is more agreeable to give," he said, "than to receive."
