If you want the short answer -- it always was and always will be.
The choice to treat yourself with medication, or alternative (more so in the US), or none, is yours and yours alone.
Some people find the palliative.................
(remember, there really aren't any definitive cures at least in my opinion... maybe stem cell research will get something... you take medication when biochemicals change and shift in your head and you need them)..............
worse than the disorder.
That doesn't mean a lifetime of one or another or any medication. You could go into a residual / remission stage of biochemicals / transmitters and not need medications.
But don't think of them as a crutch.
They are there to help you (hopefully), and some people just go off their medications when they feel great, and discover that "feeling great" meant that the medications were at their peak and their functionality was.
And then things break loose on a decision to drop the medications.
I think some day that becoming medication reduced will be a reality, and that fewer side effects will be a reality.
Whether there is a "cure" or being medication free for life for a particular biochemical disorder (which most of us are born with or have a tendency towards), I can't say... only research and time will tell.

Differences in Features
Hello and welcome to another episode of Optics Trade Debates. Today, we are going to compare the 2 versions of Pulsar's mobile app Stream Vision. For a more detailed look at Stream Vision 2, continue HERE. This debate will only touch on the differences between the 2 apps.
Let us begin by emphasizing that the main objective of Stream Vision 1 and Stream Vision 2 is the same. Pulsar developed SV apps to elevate the user experience of their customers.
The difference between the apps is in which functionalities they enable. Many features are purely functional - like easy access to device settings, media files, and firmware updates.
The first change is in the viewfinder. Stream Vision 1 only allowed landscape mode. With SV2, users can now use the viewfinder in both landscape and portrait modes.
One feature that is no longer available in the Stream Vision 2 is the direct Youtube Livestream. Not to be confused - watching real-time action from a remote location is still possible (if you affix the Pulsar near a feeding station and connect to the optic from home, for example). But the user won't be able to make a direct broadcast of that action on the Youtube platform.
An even bigger difference between Stream Vision 1 and Stream Vision 2 is in the ballistic calculator. SV1 users really liked this feature but it made the app that more complex. Pulsar decided to release SV2 without the ballistic calculator. Instead, they intend to release it as a completely stand-alone Ballistic App. It is not yet known when that will happen.
Motion detection function will mainly stay the same, with a few tweaks and upgrades. Just be aware that the Beta version of Stream Vision 2 went live without the motion sensor feature.
What's completely new is the newsfeed. This added feature will let you know about new Pulsar devices, events, and company announcements. No matter what happens in the world of Pulsar and Yukon devices, you'll be the first to know the details.
|Mobile viewfinder
|Portrait orientation mode
|Device settings control
|Direct YouTube livestream
|Ballistic calculator
|Motion detection
|+ (in later release)
|Firmware update
|Media file browser
|Cloud storage (16 GB)
|Automatic media sync with Cloud
Pulsar Cloud (16 GB)
Pulsar Cloud is the biggest advantage of using Stream Vision 2. Once you register your Pulsar device in the SV2 app, you'll be able to access 16 gigabytes of free storage. From there, you can also share your clips and photos with other users.
Stream Vision 1 cannot compare, since all media files had to be stored either inside the optic or the smartphone phone.
User Interface and App Stability
Perhaps the biggest gripe of Stream Vision users was that the first app was not stable enough. It was easy to lose the connection or the app crashed. Connectivity won't be a problem with SV2, the app is now more reliable and smooth-working.
Last but not least, there is also a slight difference in app design. The user interface was completely reworked. Stream Vision 2 is designed to be more intuitive, with improved workflow. You'll be able to navigate through the SV2 features much faster than it was possible with the SV1.
Okay, that's all we had in mind for today. Thank you for listening to our latest debate. Let us know if you enjoyed the discussion in the comments below or contact us via e-mail: email@example.com

We've been using Leadpages to build landing pages, and we have some good news and some bad news. In this Leadpages page builder review, we'll go over the costs, limited features, and customer support of this tool. We'll also discuss SEO-friendliness as well as customer service. Let's take a closer look! And what are the most common problems with Leadpages?
Limited features
Although Leadpages has a WYSIWYG editor you might find the selection of widgets restricted. While this isn't the case with most page builders, there are some limitations that you must be aware of. Leadpages doesn't allow you to customize your pages for different devices, such as iPads and iPhones. However, if you have a complex website and want to incorporate multiple elements into it, you can use Leadpages's real-time optimization feature.
Although Leadpages may not offer the most advanced features, the landing page creator is an effective tool for online marketing. Its advanced features help you gather and manage leads. Leadpages integrates with many third-party services. Some of these integrations include email marketing software such as AWeber, Constant Contact, ConvertKit, Emma, and Drip. You can also use Leadpages to publish your website on WordPress.
Instapages has a more flexible content editor that allows designers to position items more easily. Leadpages page builders use a row and column structure to display content. If you are interested in fashion blogging, your company could be the best-known SEO tool for fashion bloggers. Leadpages has an email address that can be used to provide support. Leadpages can be used to market your niche by targeting it with relevant ads.
Leadpages is a better option than Instapage for a free trial. It's easy to use and offers many helpful features. It's a good option for beginners who have limited experience in creating a website.

Even those with no programming knowledge can create a page within five minutes. Leadpages' drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to edit your pages while on the move.
Leadpages page builders are not as cheap as you might think. Pro plans start at $99 per monthly. The free tier includes some features that you can't find in the cheaper plans. But the paid versions are fully hosted and offer more features, such as landing pages. Leadpages is worth looking into, regardless of whether you are a beginner or an expert.
This page builder has a drag-and-drop editor and a variety professional templates. You can customize them as much as you want with a drag-and-drop editor. Leadpages is designed for solopreneurs, agencies, and small teams. You can try the software for free for 14 days. However, be sure to check out the price, as the website contains affiliate links.

The advanced plan offers a library of resources and weekly group coaching sessions. You can also have one-on-one calls with a Leadpages expert. You can also have as many sub-accounts as you like.

Leadpages is a website builder that is easy to use. Its WYSIWYG editor allows you to create a page without writing any code. You can also see a preview of what you have done outside of the page builder's interface. This is great for small-screen viewing. This page builder doesn't offer any tools for customizing landing pages for different devices.
The limitations of Leadpages' page builder are significant, despite its simplicity. The drag-and-drop editor is not flexible enough for complex designs. It is also not capable of tracking page performance in real-time. This feature is useful, but it's not the best for people who don't know coding.
Leadpages has a limit on the number of widgets it offers. It isn't as powerful as other general-purpose page builders but it doesn't hinder its effectiveness. The built-in optimization feature is an incredible tool for landing page creation, but its limitations make it a poor choice for most people. It is better to use a platform specifically designed for landing pages like Kartra which is an all-in one sales and marketing solution.
Leadpages is an excellent choice if you are looking for a page maker that integrates with PayPal and Gumroad. The builder is easy to use, so even beginners can create a website. If you're not sure if Leadpages is right for your needs, try a free trial and see what you think. You won't regret your decision. You can also use the 14-day free trial to see if it suits you before you commit to a full-featured plan.
Leadpages Funnel Builder
There are several reasons to use Leadpages as your primary landing page builder. Although it integrates natively with WordPress, it lacks advanced widgets, affiliate marketing features and conversion tools. You should consider purchasing the Advanced plan from Leadpages to avoid these limitations. Its Advanced plan includes over 1.000 integrations. It can be integrated with hundreds of online services. However, the Pro and Advanced versions have some limitations.
Leadpages allows you to integrate with WordPress natively
If you're running a WordPress site, the Leadpages funnel builder can help. The WordPress native integrations allow you to create beautiful pages and integrate your site with your WordPress theme. This is a great feature but it doesn't feel as intuitive or as easy as other page builders. The layouts are not as intuitive as others and it can be difficult to find certain features such as checkout pages. Leadpages doesn't offer email marketing integrations.
Leadpages is very user-friendly. The drag-and drop editor makes it easy. You can also contact support via live chat. You can also get training through video tutorials. The only downside to this platform is that it doesn't support A/B testing or variant comparisons. While Leadpages is more user-friendly than ClickFunnels, its price tag makes it harder to justify the convenience of an all-in-one platform.
Both ClickFunnels, as well as Leadpages, offer WordPress integration. Leadpages offers a drag-and-drop editor, while ClickFunnels offers a variety of predesigned templates. Leadpages offers more customization options. With ClickFunnels, you can even use HTML. There are native WordPress integrations for WordPress, including Zapier, PayPal, and Stripe. No matter if you're using Leadpages or building a WordPress website, you can expect the same great experience on either platform.
Both services have WordPress integrations. However, both services are simple to use. ClickFunnels lets you connect a custom domain to create a sales channel. LeadPages may require you to enter product details again. LeadPages allows you to attach your existing domain and provides a custom subdomain for use on your website.
Leadpages' native integration with WordPress makes data export and import faster than ever. There are many plugins that can make this process faster and easier. Leadpages is an excellent tool to create beautiful, professional-looking landing page designs. So how can you use Leadpages with WordPress Which features can you use with Leadpages You'll soon find out!
Leadpages doesn't have advanced widgets
The basic leadpages funnel builder is fairly functional, though it does lack features such as animated headlines and Google Maps. Google Maps and testimonials are also missing from Leadpages. It is possible to create custom popups with Leadpages, but they are not as customizable as those available in other funnel builder tools. Also, users can't edit their pages on different views, such as mobile, resulting in a poor user experience.
Leadpages' website builder does more than create landing pages. It's hosted by Leadpages and includes automatic SSL encryption and built in analytics. When visitors click on a specific link or image, Leadpages' leadbox feature pops up. Leadpages also allows users the ability to create custom pop-up forms that can be used for landing pages. Leadpages' Leadbox is a great tool to collect more contact information.
Leadpages has a simple but effective landing page builder that is easy to use. Even those without any design experience can use it to create compelling pages. Advanced widgets can be used to track conversions, collect data, and create a sales funnel. Leadpages allows you to design any page you want without having to hire a web designer. It's also flexible, making it an ideal platform to use for non-designers. This tool is great for business owners who want to sell more products and generate more leads.
ClickFunnels has more advanced features than Leadpages but it's still not the best choice for beginners. Clickfunnels can help you grow your business, but Leadpages is better for beginners who only need simple landing pages. The landing page builder at Leadpages has a large number of templates and a very low learning curve. This tool also integrates with Google Analytics to allow you to track key performance indicators and retarget your audience based upon behavioural data.
Pricing for Leadpages starts from US$99 per monthly, but this price is based upon a yearly subscription. It is easy-to-use and offers a free trial. However, its pricing depends on how many funnels you'd like to create. The Start Price of Leadpages funnel builder features is low. However, it lacks advanced widgets. This is a great option for beginners as it doesn't require any coding or website design skills. Unbounce offers a 14-day complimentary trial.
Leadpages doesn't have conversion tools
ClickFunnels is well-known for its marketing and sales features, but Leadpages is more known for its landing pages builder. Both are great options for converting cold traffic into customers and capturing customer payment. The key difference between these funnel builder tools and others is the customization they allow you to make. ClickFunnels has dozens of templates and icon sets. ClickFunnels also offers event-triggered popups as well as exit-intent and delay popups.
ClickFunnels is more feature-rich than Leadpages but costs twice as much as Leadpages and doesn't provide the same level value. Leadpages drag-and-drop editor is great for creating sales funnels that are optimized. However, adding products into sales funnels can be complicated and time-consuming. Other plans from competitors lack conversion and marketing features which leads to higher costs and less flexibility.
Although Leadpages funnel builder isn't as robust as ClickFunnels in terms of features, it's still much cheaper than its rival. There are many templates available, including some that look professional and modern. It also provides full email marketing campaigns as well as sales funnels. It is a good choice for those who need landing pages, but not too many.
Although Leadpages does not offer a fully-featured sales funnel maker, it has enough tools for creating stunning landing pages and sales pages. Its drag-and-drop editor allows you to easily position widgets on your landing page and promote your business through social media. Leadpages has more than 160 templates to choose from, despite not having conversion tools. It also has social media integration and e-commerce integration.
The two funnel builder softwares share a lot of similarities, but they are fundamentally different. The former provides a wide range of templates and is more user-friendly, while Leadpages is more comprehensive. Clickfunnels is a powerful marketing funnel builder and Leadpages offers an impressive library of templates. The former is better for traditional websites. The former has a better range of features for landing pages, while the latter offers a wide variety for websites.
Leadpages lacks affiliate marketing
While both click funnels as well as leadpages can be used to create high-converting landing pages for affiliate market, Leadpages' funnel builders lack affiliate marketing functionality. Click funnels can be used as a marketing tool all in one, while Leadpages funnel builders are designed to generate leads. Click funnels work best for businesses that offer multiple products and services. You can use both tools to create a sales funnel.
Although Leadpages is primarily a website builder and editor, its landing page builder allows users to create highly customized pages with advanced features that convert traffic into subscribers. Leadpages can also be integrated with major email marketing services such as MailChimp. Click funnels offer more advanced features such as automation, affiliate marketing, and gated content with membership sites. Leadpages provides dozens of templates as well as a drag-and drop builder. There are also a variety of plug ins for email marketing and landing pages.
ClickFunnels offers automation and personalized content at every step of the buyer's journey. Click funnels are all-in one solutions for your digital marketing business. You can choose one of the hundreds of pre-designed templates or follow the many tutorials. But, if you don't have any prior experience with funnel building, you might want to consider Clickfunnels. These tools can help increase your sales and profit margins.
While Leadpages funnel builder features lack affiliate marketer functionality, the company's entry plan offers free trial and two-tier pricing plans. The Standard plan includes one site, Pop Ups, Alert Bars and free hosting. The PRO plan provides 3 sites, Tech support and mobile-responsive templates. The Advanced plan is ideal for businesses with multiple products and dozens of websites. The Advanced plan includes priority tech assistance, online sales and payment, 5 pro sub accounts, email trigger links, and priority tech support.

Upon completion, a link will appear to access the found materials.
The human being is designed to move, but it seems that in recent times being sedentary 'has become fashionable'. What can we do to break this trend? We are designed to move, but being sedentary seems to have become 'normal'. Here we leave you with some tips and physical activities to stop childhood sedentary lifestyle and do it from the family and from home.
Did you know that between 60-70% of the Spanish population does not perform minimal physical exercise to be healthy? Adults spend many hours sitting in the office, in the car and at home. In this society, we increasingly find more comforts thanks to the advancement of new technologies, which facilitate many tasks, but at the same time they weaken us because we stop developing many capacities for which we are designed.
We move less and less and this lifestyle is transmitted and directly affects children. We are your example to follow and your best references. Not only in physical exercise habits but also in eating, reading, behavior ...
Adults must lead a healthy lifestyle and move more to improve not only our own health but also to be the best model for the little ones in the house, transmitting to them that physical exercise is necessary and we enjoy practicing it.
The second problem that we find is that children are forced to spend too many hours sitting studying at school, with homework or watching TV. A position held for so many hours that it entails problems in the medium and long term:
- Bad posture: Back in flexion (kyphotic position), shoulders rounded forward, head forward generating tension in the neck ...
- Muscle deactivation important like glutes and core
- Shortening in hip muscles: psoas, hamstrings ...
- Loss of mobility of some joints: shoulder, ankles ...
- Normalization of the lack of activity in the day to day.
Physical education and sport are the perfect tools by which through movement we can improve the health of children. In this way we will achieve a good development of the basic skills that improve the state of general form, at the same time that we instill good healthy habits to, in the long term, minimize the risks related to sedentary lifestyle. And it is that doing some physical activity can only be synonymous with health:
- Improve basic motor skills.
- More muscular strength.
- Improves body composition.
- Lets have a better bone health.
- Promotes motor control.
- Provides a greater psychosocial well-being.
At this point, many parents may be wondering what is best for children. On the one hand, more extracurricular activities: multisport. And it is that 2-3 hours of physical education in school is not enough. Enrolling them in extracurricular sports classes is a great option to increase the minutes of weekly physical activity.
It is recommended that programs for children are designed and supervised by qualified professionals. The ideal is to group them according to their biological maturity and to practice the widest variety of sports possible without specializing them until at least 12 years of age.
Another important point that parents can work with at home is the variety of postures. While they perform tasks, watch TV or play with some technology, encourage them to carry out other different activities, thus leading them to other postures and stimuli, improving their attention span and oxygenation of the brain. Perform them on different surfaces and with a variety of positions: floor, on the bed, face up, legs crossed ...
And of course we can't forget practice sports as a family, both indoors and when we go to the field or take a walk in the park. How about a yoga session? Yoga is a great discipline with origins dating back more than 10,000 years ago. Isn't it interesting that today we continue to practice something that began thousands and thousands of years ago?
Yoga can be said to encompass four different paths: asanas (postures), pranayama (expansion of the vital force), dharana (concentration) and dhyana (meditation). Yoga for children helps promote movement, physical expression, and their innate spiritual side. Scientific evidence shows that yoga appears to be an effective modality for helping children cope with stress and anxiety.
This is a great activity for the whole family to do at home, increasing the number of minutes of exercise per week. Being a good complement to school and extracurricular activities, in addition to promoting physical exercise as a family, the practice of yoga creates a much healthier relationship between everyone, thus offsetting the hours of passive leisure.
Assuming that it is always a good time to exercise, my recommendation would be to do it at the end of the day, when they have finished their school responsibilities. Right before shower and dinner. And, like any other activity, it can be done from ten minutes onwards, taking into account the possibilities of children and parents.
Finally, one of the good things about doing this activity, in addition to the benefits it can bring to children, is that it doesn't require much material. We only need a rug or mat, comfortable sportswear, a bottle of water and relaxing music.

Zim's Brigadier Sends Journalists Running For Dear Life
Nyikayaramba, the commander of the 3rd infrantry battallion in Manicaland province allegedly threatened to beat up two journalists from The Mail after they asked him respond to a comment in parliament by Masvingo Central legislator Tongai Matutu that the Brigadier General is an 'idiot' for his comments he made on the leader of the mainstream Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) Morgan Tsvangirai whom he labelled as a national security threat because he supports Zanu (PF).
Matutu withdrew his statement in Parliament when Defence Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa called for the withdrawal of the statement arguing that it was 'unparliamentary' adding that Nyikayaramba was not a Member of Parliament and could not defend himself from the allegations.
The two journalists, employed by the recently launched The Mail newspaper, whose names are being withheld for their security, had been assigned by the paper's editors to interview Nyikayaramba on a wide range of issues, including calls for reforms in the security sector.
"Our two staffers (names supplied) were threatened by Douglas Nyikayaramba on Friday last week. They called to meet with the Brigadier General; they met him in his car to have an interview. But he became angry when asked what was his comment on Matutu's comment in parliament that he was an idiot," a senior editor at The Mail told Radio VOP.
"He then threatened our journalists with unspecified action resulting in our staffers running away from the interview. We are shocked about his behaviour because he had agreed to the interview in the first place."
The paper, though claiming to be independent of Zanu (PF), is seen by many as having strong links with the former ruling party's establishments, with claims that some of its major shareholders are Zanu (PF) heavyweights of associates of the party.
Names such as Van Hoog Straten, Mines Minister, Obert Mpofu, Zanu (PF) strongman Emmerson Mnangagwa, among others, are linked to the newspaper although the publishers are yet to disclose the "direct" owners of the publication.
According to one of the two journalists, all went well throughout the interview which centred on mostly, on Nyikayaramba's sentiments regarding the armed forces perceived support of President Robert Mugabe.
"We were given an assignment to interview Nyikayaramba by the editors," said one of the reporters.
"All was well until we received a phone call from one of our editors who asked us to ask Nyikayaramba to respond to claims, accusations, and description by one parliamentarian that he was an idiot. That is when all hell broke loose," the journalist added.
Radio VOP is told Nyikayaramba went ballistic, speaking from the top of his voice and threatening to shoot the bemused journalists.
"When we realised that he was very angry and threatening to shoot us, we opened the doors…and took to our heels," the journalist added.
In its Monday edition this week, the paper downplayed the story, preferring to run it as part of its gossip column, Corridors of Power.
Reads part of the column: "Two reporters from The Mail ran for dear life on Friday after an army commander threatened to manhandle them for asking tough questions.
The reporters had called the senior officer seeking verification of a tip-off they had received that he had been involved in an accident as he had rushed to hospital after a fight with his wife."
Nyikayaramba has been at the centre of political discussion in the past month for labelling Tsvangirai a national 'security threat'.
Nyikayaramba's political statements were given as one of the reasons why Mbizo MP, Settlement Chikwinya moved a motion in parliament this month for security chiefs to re-affirm their allegiance to the Constitution of Zimbabwe and for the military chiefs to desist from making political statements.
Several security chiefs have made public statements in the past years saying that they will not support a democratically elected leader in Zimbabwe who does not have war of liberation credentials.

- If the Scissormen keep getting born into the Maxwell family, how did they get born into the Barrows family in the first place?
- My guess is that the two families are closely related.
- Hmmm...the golden statue is the clue. Although unconfirmed, just like the Barrows family, the Maxwell family must have had a Deal with the Devil as well. The only difference is that the Barrows/Burroughs family knew what they were getting themselves into and willingly did it to worship their deities. While the Maxwell family must have just recently found out about this, did not bother to do much research, tempted fate, and made the pact anyway. Which in turn made their whole family line geniuses, and also gave out unforeseen consequences.
- If my theory is correct, then this makes the Maxwell family very Genre Blind.
- So the first act of The Struggle Within tries to lead Alyssa/Bates and the players into believing the threats against them are all supernatural. But then subsequent acts reveal that most everything was due to cerebral toxin or a zombie plague. That everything was a (relatively) more realistic sci fi horror story rather than a fantasy horror story. Okay fine, fair enough. Except this is underminded by the multiple instances of explicitly supernatural stuff going on, like objects floating around, or the golden statue having mysterious repelling energy when Alyssa tries to touch it (but not Bates), or the fact that Stephenie gets cured of what we're later told is toxin madness...by burning the statue, resulting in a spooky ghost cloud billowing out of her. Between all that and the threatening phone calls (which might have been from Maxwell), and you get the feeling the devs working on act one were not in communication with the devs for the later acts.
- Yeah, that's the thing this game is horribly criticized for it's plot holes, it's only by reading the wiki or other supplementary works made, can you truly make sense of the plot.
- The devs did mess up, as stated above, they wanted to cash in on Resident Evil. Thus, it diminished the quality of the story writing.
- In the drama cd, although I'm not really good at Japanese, so i don't really understand much. I believe It was explained that Alyssa was just hallucinating or imagining things. There is also, a hint in the game that Maxwell had magic powers, in Allen's letter to Phillip. So that could be another explanation. Although, this belongs in the WMG section, Stephanie could have been possessed by an entity, and since Alyssa Hale is a powerful demon, she could have unknowingly expelled it out. That is, if you believe all the Clock Tower games are related.
- Also, although this is as much trivia, there was supposed to be a manga, possibly covering all the plot holes, but it was never finished. Unless you know Japanese however, the drama CD is your best bet. The scenarios are more realistic.
- Yeah, that's the thing this game is horribly criticized for it's plot holes, it's only by reading the wiki or other supplementary works made, can you truly make sense of the plot.

Toning Balls vs. Medicine Balls
With the variety of exercise equipment spilling out of the health club weight room, some pieces might seem redundant. You may wonder why it's necessary to have both a toning ball and a medicine ball at your disposal. Though they're both types of fitness balls, they're made differently and have distinctly different uses. There are instances, however, when you can substitute a toning ball for a medicine ball.
Medicine balls are one of those old-school pieces of equipment that have been used in fitness for years, while toning balls are relatively new on the fitness scene. Toning balls were developed for a type of Pilates program; they are used in a manner similar to that of the hand weights used in Pilates toning exercises. Medicine balls are mostly used for plyometric-type training to improve speed and muscle strength.
The sizes of the two types of balls can overlap, but toning balls tend to be smaller in general than medicine balls. Both can be as light as 1 pound, but the toning balls typically top out around 4 or 5 pounds and are small enough to be held in a single hand. Medicine balls, on the other hand, typically come in weights up to 50 pounds and can be larger than a basketball. The American College of Sports Medicine says that athletes who are training for power can find even heavier medicine balls if they need to more than 50 pounds.
Soft and pliable, medicine balls are typically made of rubber or leather and filled with sand, saw dust or other material to make them heavy. Toning balls, however, have a PVC shell, so they are hard and not at all supple. An iron sand filling is what gives toning balls their weight.
Toning balls are specifically used for exercises such as butterflies, side-lying arm circles and arms pulling straps, in which you hold a toning ball between your ankles to employ your adductors while your arms work the ropes on a reformer. They can also be used for typical medicine ball exercises like windmills, rotational crunches and wood choppers, but don't try to substitute a toning ball for a medicine ball when you perform a ball slam, as the toning ball won't bounce like a medicine ball does, and it could crack or break.

Local pattern mining on attributed networks is an important and interesting research area combining ideas from network analysis and data mining. In particular, local patterns on attributed networks allow both the characterization in terms of their structural (topological) as well as compositional features. In this paper, we present MinerLSD, a method for efficient local pattern mining on attributed networks. In order to prevent the typical pattern explosion in pattern mining, we employ closed patterns for focusing pattern exploration. In addition, we exploit efficient techniques for pruning the pattern space: We adapt a local variant of the standard Modularity metric used in community detection that is extended using optimistic estimates, and furthermore include graph abstractions. Our experiments on several standard datasets demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed novel method MinerLSD as an efficient method for local pattern mining on attributed networks.

How Manhood Tropes Limit Men's Ministry
We see male archetypes everywhere, each subtly held up as a standard to live by. It's not just the culture leaving guys confused; it can also be the church. Here's how manhood tropes limit men's ministry—and how you can break the cycle.
By the Man in the Mirror Team
We spoke with a young man who had a remarkable story.
After briefly attending college, he joined the military and served for five years. Now he is out and has landed his first civilian job.
Yet, it was obvious in talking to him that he has had very few—if any—male role models who could show him what it meant to be a real man. His dad was not really involved in his life and his mom, while well-meaning, had trouble providing emotionally, economically, and spiritually.
So here he sits, in his mid-twenties, wondering what a man really is and how to become one.
You might be thinking, What's so remarkable about that? The remarkable thing is that his story is not remarkable at all.
We've created a culture where what should have been the exception—young men drifting through life without mentors, training, or direction—has instead become the norm.
Manhood Tropes
Consider how confusing it can be for men today. They see various tropes of manhood paraded before them. And each one is subtly held up as a standard to live by.
Do you recognize any of these male archetypes?
Success Man. This image promises that the key to happiness is getting your act together and doing well in every area of your life. Get a great job, drive a nice car, marry a beautiful woman—then you will be a real man.
Macho Man. In some versions of manhood, men have to be able to handle anything and everything. Nothing is too difficult for a real man; just grit your teeth and bear it. And don't let anyone disrespect you. Real men are willing to do anything to preserve their reputation.
Outdoors Man. This perspective says that men today are too tame and timid. Real men hunt things and then eat their bloody hearts. The more you can be in the woods or on the water, and the more dangerous the activity, then the more that you will become a true man.
Sensitive Man. This image tells men that they need to always connect with people emotionally (especially women) and talk about their feelings. Tears are good; tears over a good book with some wine and cheese are even better.
Bumbling Man. It doesn't take seeing many commercials or sitcoms to realize that men are incompetent and incapable. They can't shop, cook, take care of the kids, or remember birthdays and anniversaries. But it's okay because they are kind of cute and everything works out in the end.
Family Man. This idea emphasizes that real men are committed to their kids above all else. They don't have time for themselves; they're too busy carting their children across town from one activity to the next. Whatever their kids want, they get.
Religious Man. Men need to be committed to their churches and do what their pastors tell them to do. Playing by the rules is the most important thing in life. Being a man of integrity who is respected by others in the church is the ultimate biblical manhood.
Sports Man. Real manhood is derived from watching and playing sports. Being a loyal fan—even when your team gets worse year after year—is the highest badge of honor. Real men spend a lot of time arguing over and cheering for other guys who are actually doing something.It doesn't take seeing many commercials or sitcoms to realize that men are incompetent and incapable. But it's okay because they are kind of cute and everything works out in the end.Click To Tweet
I'm sure some of those seem familiar to you, and you could probably add a few more. No wonder men are so confused! But men aren't just confused by the culture; they can also feel confused in the church.
Preacher, author, and professor Dr. Rhyne Putman wrote on Twitter about his own experience with this confusion amid the backdrop of men's ministry:
"There was a time in my life when I truly felt out of place for not conforming to particular "masculine" stereotypes. I was never athletic and generally uninterested in sports as a kid.
"I ran the other direction when my dad tried to show me how to fix things. I couldn't wait to go inside and play Nintendo. Honestly, I wish I had paid more attention. I'm still playing catch-up. I didn't hunt or fish. The thought of it bored me (and still does).
"Though I tried to hide it well, I was shy, awkward, and uncomfortable around many boys who matured more quickly than me. In middle school and high school, I was always frustrated that the girls I liked were more into those guys than me. I was painfully oblivious to the girls who actually did like me during that awkward phase of my life.
"I get that we associate masculinity with physical activity, outdoor life, and mechanical competence. But that's cultural conditioning. It took me a long time to feel comfortable in my skin as a movie geek, a lover of the arts, and someone who had a great passion for the written word. […]
"I recently learned from an adult friend how painful some of these struggles can be in the life of a local church when "men's retreats" or "manly weekends" were associated with these activities he had little or no interest in participating in. I regret any pain I caused him by endorsing some of these activities as the way to be a biblical man. I learned that he felt marginalized by me—in some sense because I overcompensated for my own insecurities.
"If I had an urgent plea for a church speaking into a very different world for millennials and Gen-Zers: don't buy into these gender stereotypes. […] We are a largely urban generation that does not know much of the world loved and appreciated by former generations. And that's okay.
"God still loves me and calls me a son."
Exclusive Men's Ministry
As ministry leaders, we are constantly sending spoken and unspoken messages to the men who come our way. Through the activities we offer and the way we communicate, we may unintentionally send the message:
Only ____________ men are welcome.
We heard from a man who commented on our blog about his experience:
"I married in my late 30s and noticed how my social and church life changed instantly. Suddenly I was taken seriously, included, noticed! My years prior to marriage were full of frustration at being alone—sometimes lonely, but always isolated. There was no connection at church."
Another man, Rick, recently emailed us:
"I am 61, 42 years in Christ, and, in some ways, just now stepping into manhood. Growing up with a dad who chose work over family and rules over relationship and an overprotective but perfectionistic mother, I entered adult life able to achieve academically and vocationally but highly passive and compliant. […]
"Over the last 20 years or so, God has led me through situations that walked me toward manhood. Even having made this journey, I find that I am still very much out of sync with most of what I see in men's ministry today. Images of the point man or knights don't resonate with me. I am not interested in sports or hunting or cars or the other touch points that men's ministries offer. I know I am not alone in this. I recognize other men in the church who relate to the world more cognitively than physically."Through the activities we offer and the way we communicate, we can unintentionally send the message that only ___________ men are welcome.Click To Tweet
In addition, here are a few other reasons given for disconnect that we've heard recently from men:
- There are zero activity-based opportunities for me to get to know other guys while having fun together; it's ALL cerebral study.
- As a "blue collar" worker, it seems like the men's ministry only tries to include the businessmen in the church. I feel out of place and unwelcome.
- It appears I'm too old to be useful; I'm not invited, not seen, and not valued by the men's leaders. I believe I have experience and wisdom to offer, but no way to do it.
- I'd love to grow in my faith with some other men but everything the church offers is in the early morning. As a teacher, I have to be at work earlier than most and it rules me out completely.
- Our church only offers couples' groups. As an unmarried man, I have nowhere to plug in.
- The women have things going on all the time and so the kids. But there isn't anything for the men except landscaping, setup, and maintenance-related service projects around the church. It's like we're good for being workhorses and not much else.
Whether you're a pastor, men's leader, elder, or small group leader, pay attention to what you're indirectly communicating to men about their value, purpose, and identity.
Are the messages and opportunities available for men in your church narrowing your mission field? Are they keeping some men isolated or on the fringe of the life of the church?
No Man Left Behind
The vision of Man in the Mirror is to see every man discipled. For this reason, our leadership training model is aptly named No Man Left Behind.
What might your church's ministry model be called, if someone from the outside were to name it based on observation?
No Successful Man Left Behind?
No Married Man Left Behind?
No Young Man Left Behind?
No Athletic Man Left Behind?
No Retired Man Left Behind?
No Educated Man Left Behind?
No Republican Man Left Behind?
No Outdoors Man Left Behind?
No Respected Man Left Behind?
How might that observer fill in the blank, "Only _______________ men are welcome here"? If it's with any adjective but "all," you're excluding some of the men you're trying to reach.
So how do you avoid excluding men when it's unintentional?
It's not that you can't offer interest-based activities (such as basketball or choir) and studies aimed at specific audiences (such as fathers or recovering addicts). You should! There is value in that and it will ultimately help get men involved in ways that are meaningful to them personally.
But here are three ways to avoid exclusive ministry—one related to your ministry message, one related to your ministry calendar, and one related to your ministry leadership:
- Message. Make sure your messaging is geared toward all men, with the focus on who they are in Christ as their primary source of identity.
- Calendar. Be deliberate about offering a variety of opportunities for guys to get engaged with others and grow in their faith, no matter where they are in their stage of life, circumstances, or spiritual journey.
- Leadership. If the leadership team also reflects diversity in these areas, it will go a long way in communicating #1 and it will make #2 an easier and more natural process.
If everything your church makes available to men is geared toward new Christians, outdoorsmen, guys with young families, or Saturday morning retirees, then you have an exclusive ministry model, and you will see limited involvement and limited life change.
What changes can you make to move your men's discipleship efforts toward a more all-inclusive model?
THE BIG IDEA: Don't allow the cultural archetypes of manhood to narrow the impact of your ministry. The goal of your discipleship efforts should be no man left behind.
Foundation for Real Manhood
The Bible clearly demonstrates that real manhood is grounded not in cultural expectations and norms, but in the gospel of Jesus Christ.The Bible clearly demonstrates that real manhood is grounded not in cultural expectations and norms, but in the gospel of Jesus Christ.Click To Tweet
Without the gospel, all of us are broken shells of what we should be. No matter what we pursue to satisfy our hearts, outside of the gospel it will never be enough.
But through the gospel, Jesus changes everything. When a man finds himself forgiven and healed in Christ, he is then free to pursue manhood—not from need or duty or obligation or insecurity, but rather as an overflow of who God has made him to be.
Men, if we must fill in the blank, let's work together to see no man created-in-His-image left behind—which is every single one of us.

Exhibition "Liquid World, Solid World"
The exhibition of the Canary Island artist Gabriel Ortuño will be open to the public until 19 September at the Sala la Lonja del Pescado in Alicante.
The exhibition presents 25 works that have liquid as a central element and in which it is treated as a means of expression and as a symbol of existential shipwreck, emptiness and the sinking of values in the world in which we now live.
The exhibition is divided into two axes, on the one hand the pieces from the first stage (2014-2016), which seek the light within the darkness; and on the other hand the works made during the pandemic (2019-2021), in which drama and beauty are mixed.

When your business gets to a point where there are more clients needing your assistance then you have time for…how do you handle that?
Nobody wants to turn down business, well good business away. However there are some pitfalls for taking on more than you can handle.
The saying "stretching yourself thin" comes to mind. Having numerous (paid) clients is one way to keep your business profitable. Keep in mind that your time put into the services and payment for the terms should be at a point where each business involved is benefiting. We can't make everyone happy but stay firm and let your potential or current clients know that business is business.
Every business at one point or another will end up losing customer/clients/vendors.
Your time management needs to come into place. If you are running a business with 1-2 employees, it is nearly impossible to service a large volume of clients. Your time is better spent figuring out all the needs of each client and how many hours per month or week you can devote to them.
1)Know your limits
Taking on more clients that you have time for will make a business owner suffer. Your lack of time needed to devote to your clients may result in a poor quality of service or commitment. If five full time clients has you at your max, do not add more clients unless time allows you to do so. For example, say you have 5 clients and 3 major deadlines coming up. A potential client who you have been reaching out to for months decides to work with you on a last minute huge project. If you take on the project, you are taking way from your current clients.
Suggestion: If this contact/client is worth the time and money, consider taking on the project but hire a part time assistant to help you complete the current or new project. If you don't have those resources, then it will lead me to the next item…it's okay to say no.
2) It's okay to say no
Ideally we all want to be flooded with so much business so our bottom line will be successful. Is that correct? There's a fine line between wanting to be busy with new business and losing your mind. Sometimes turning down new business is ok. What benefit will that client get if you are already overwhelmed and overcommitted to your current clients? It's not fair to you or the people you work with. There's only 24 hours in the day and there is no magical wand that will make the day 30 hours or more. If you so desire to want to add more business to your plate, it will lead to the next line…offering a smaller service now and doing more later.
3) Offer a smaller service with the possibility to do more in the future
So, you are slammed with new projects but have a new customer that you have been wanting to get for months. It's a huge contract with the possibility of growing into something even bigger in the future. You are telling yourself "I can't turn down this opportunity." What do you do? Step 1 and step 2 are not good enough for me. Consider offering a smaller service int he beginning until your larger contracts slow down or until those major deadlines have passed. Utilize that assistant or gain an intern to help you get through that slump. Also consider hiring a VA, Virtual Assistant or asking another business owner to work with you on a project. This leads to number 4.
4) Refer them out to a networking friend or contact that does similar work
I got the large contract I wanted but I no longer have time to do it. I don't have additional funds to give more work to my assistant but landing this would be beneficial for my business. What should I do?
Consider reaching out to a networking contact or business friend that does similar work. You can negotiate the terms of payment and let that business handle part of the project. It is risky so choose carefully and make sure that company has a good track record. All business owners should understand that risk is inevitable in this industry. Some will rise and others will fall.
You need to understand your limits, not be afraid of saying no, look for other ways or options to work with potential clients and lastly consider hiring or partnering up with another business.

Dr. Schroer grew up in Delaware where she completed her undergraduate degree in animal science. She moved to California in 1993 to attend graduate school at UC Davis. After completing a master's degree in physiology in 1996, she spent two years working in a small community in Ecuador as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Following this great adventure, she came back to California and entered veterinary school at UC Davis.
Dr. Schroer began her career as a veterinarian at Ferndale Veterinary in 2003. Four years later, she moved to Sonoma County and spent 10 years working in both large animal and small animal practices. She eventually returned to Humboldt County, where she is very happy to get back to both small-town life and mixed animal practice.
Dr. Schroer spends much of her free time exploring backroads and trails on her bicycle. She shares her home with a feisty orange cat named Ginger.

I know it's painful, but I would still go ahead and max out your 401-K. Reason being you will most likely not be in that job for long enough for the fees to eat up the tax savings. Most people just do not stay in the same job for their whole career anymore, and for various reasons. Once you leave that job you can immediately roll to a low fee IRA.
Complain to HR about the quality of the plan. The more people that do this, the more likely it is to gain traction for them to switch to a provider/plan that's not screwing their employees.
