Nice job, really sweet. Wow, we all knew what was coming when Danny said, 'Out of Date', but I guess Sam was too heart-broken to think about it closer. Good thing Danny further explained it. :)

That's so cute! And it reminded me of something:
This is in texting.
Girl:Whatcha doin?
Boy: About to call the most perfect girl.
Girl:O who's that?
Boy:The girl I love
Girl:O have fun with her
Boy: Don't b sad
(boy calls girl.)
It reminded me of that because he was like "I don't like you anymore" and she's all sad and says "I love you." so great job.

Figure Fix: IsABelt
I don't want to wear high-waisted mom jeans, but I'm also not a fan of plumber butt. I worry about exposing my undies- or worse- when I bend over to pick up the baby. So when I heard about the IsABelt, a clear belt that keeps your pants up without the bulk of a traditional belt, I was excited. IsABelt is a thin, clear-elastic belt that invisibly holds up gaping jeans. To use, just adjust the belt … Read entire article »

^like they did with Clinton?
What's really hilarious about the "scandals" the Republicans have concocted, are the direct result of legislation THEY wrote and passed for "W". "Do as I say, not as I did", is the new phrase of import.
"Patriot Act", "Military Commissions Act", "Defense Authorization Act", just three for starters, Mechanic.
I call BS on BOTH parties for the IRS situation. And on the Supremes for alliowing ANYONE to try to be a 501C4. I believe many of the conservatives that rushed to get that status were unsophisticated as to IRS rules. No, I don't mean stupid. They answered in a manner that could be considered political, and were subject to higher scrutiny based on their application. The IRS questions DID go beyond the bounds of reasonableness, but it's interesting that most conservative groups werte eventually APPROVED! Meanwhile, only 7 "Progressive" groups were approived during that same period!
Today my Senator, Rob Portman, spoke out and asked if anyone has been "disciplined/fired" at the IRS. Once again a rush to judgement before anyone knows the facts. IRS has been consistently underfunded, there was a rush of applications following Citizens United, many with improper/suspect/confusing information. It apears the reviewers involved used an unfortunate and inappropriate shorthand to judge these applications. Discipline before investigation is just as inappropriate. The IG's report was an audit, not an investigation, so there are no charges to be applied at this time.

Tarzan and Arab are budding filmmakers from the Gaza strip. The identical twins (who studied fine art and photography) have never seen in a movie in a theater, or been in a gallery. In fact, until last month, they had never left Gaza.

Twin baby boys have a conversation. Beside music & how-to videos, politics, and whathaveyou, YouTube is an excellent conduit for cute home movies about baby twins (and triplets).

The Twins Who Share A Brain
Tatiana and Krista Hogan are 4 year old twin girls who are joined at the head. Amazingly, their brains are interconnected and share the thalamus, the section of the brain that is responsible for relaying physical sensation and motor function to the cerebral cortex. As a result, it is believed that they can experience one another's sensations, including seeing though each other's eyes.

FACTUM. To produce the series of works collectively titled FACTUM (2010), Candice Breitz conducted intensive interviews with seven pairs of identical twins and a single set of identical triplets in and around Toronto during the summer of 2009, footage from which she then edited seven dual-channel video installations (and one tri-channel video installation). Like Robert Rauschenberg's near-identical paintings FACTUM I and FACTUM II (both 1957), from which the series borrows its title, each interviewee in FACTUM is an imperfect facsimile of their twin: their apparent identicality is soon disrupted by a host of subtle differences.

Jon & Kate Plus 8: raising twins and sextuplets on reality TV
You're a couple in your 20s, with twin girls. Desiring to have just one more child, your fertility treatments result in sextuplets. You are the Gosselin family and your reality TV show is about to start a 4th season. You have your admirers and of course, critics.

Two Spanish women meet in their late twenties and realize that they're identical twins. The hospital had accidentally swapped one with another random newborn, and each family had unknowingly taken home the wrong baby. Now all three women - the two actual twins, and the one fake twin - are suing the hospital, who seriously did not have their act together. But there are all sorts of ways this could happen.

World Series Champs Suffer Mid-Season Contraction? According to Bud Selig, one MLB team might not be able to make payroll next Monday, and another is experiencing cash-flow problems so severe it may not be able to finish the season. The Houston Chronicle reported that Selig might have arranged to keep the Arizona Diamondbacks and Tampa Bay Devil Rays alive financially this past winter. But now Selig says, "Major league baseball's credit lines are at the maximum," and "If a club can't make it, I have to let 'em go."

Conjoined twins separated.
Conjoined twins separated. But while that operation is always challenging, this one was particularly bad. The girls were joined at the top of the head, and their brains were merged -- and shared common blood vessels. It took eight-eight hours of surgery to separate them, most of which was spent rerouting blood vessels. Both girls survived the operation. This is only the sixth time this operation has been attempted and only the second time that it has succeeded. (Vertical craniopagus is, mercifully, exceedingly rare.) The operation was only possible at all because the surgeons have spent the last four months practicing it with virtual-reality software on computers (presumably using models based on MRI). Anyone have any idea what software package they used?

A plague on all their houses.
Now the biological father, Aaron Wecker, has begun proceedings to gain custody of the babies. I hope he isn't as despicable as everyone else involved. Let's hope this circus doesn't follow the girls around for the rest of their lives. If there's any sort of lesson in this, I wish someone would tell me what it is.

Now this is really evil. A woman put her twin babies up for adoption through a "private agency" in California and the agency was paid by an American couple here who adopted them. Then after two months the biological mother asked for a chance for one last good-bye with the babies alone, was granted it, and delivered the babies to a British couple who had also paid the "agency", who then took them to Arkansas and adopted them there, and then returned to Wales. Now the biological mother says she wants them back. The American couple wants them back. The Welsh couple wants them, too. British authorities have taken them away and they're being cared for in foster care. Some judge is going to have a real problem. Probably the "agency", actually a woman working out of her home via a web site, is going to have legal problems -- quite possibly including criminal charges. Here's another account.

Last year WADA independent commission found evidence of state-sponsored doping in Russian track and field
European champion gymnast Nikolai Kuksenkov has become the latest Russian sportsman to test positive for the banned drug meldonium, local media reported Sunday, April 3.
"The sample which Kuksenkov gave for testing on March 15 showed the presence of the traces of meldonium," the Allsport agency quoted Russia's national gymnastics team head coach Valentina Rodionenko as saying.

Rodionenko added that the gymnast took meldonium last year, before the drug has been included into the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list on January 1.
The 26-year-old Kuksenkov, who competed for Ukraine before 2012, finished fourth in the all-round event at London Olympics.
He won the 2014 European championship and was the top Russian gymnast at the 2015 World Championships, finishing sixth in the all-around after joining the Russian team.

One way to categorize downward facing dog is as an inverted (or "semi-inverted") yoga pose.
It is inverted because the hips are higher than the head.
It could be thought of as semi-inverted (like plow pose) because the feet are on the floor.
If you are having trouble getting your heels down to the floor in downward facing dog, one simple solution is to focus on lifting the fronts of your feet.
(If you were sitting with your legs straight in front the equivalent action could be pulling your toes and forefeet back towards you.)
An exercise that may help is to lift your heels with knees straight while inhaling then push your heels down and lift the fronts of your feet while exhaling. Or simply hold for a few breaths with heels lifted then sink your heels down for a few breaths and focus on pull up on the fronts of the feet.
In both cases you can keep your knees straight.
If you focus on lifting the fronts of your feet in Downward Dog you activate the muscles at the front of your shins (tibialis anterior.)
In downward dog it may be hard to get your weight far enough back that you can use body weight to press your heels down.
So you'll have to use opposing muscles to stretch your calve muscles instead. This takes advantage of something called mutual inhibition. This is where if one set of muscles is activated to move a joint in a particular direction then muscles that oppose that movement will relax to allow that movement.
In the case of lifting the fronts of the feet, the intended action is to bend the ankles forwards.
Since the calve muscles normally resist this motion they then relax to let it happen.
Even before you get to pushing your heels down it may be helpful to practice using your shoulders in downward dog. The idea is to use the shoulders to push the ribcage up and back away from the hands.
If you were sitting or standing, the action would be that of lifting the shoulders with the arms over head.
This uses the upper and middle fibers of the trapezius muscle to slide the shoulder blades up the back towards the head.
Depending on whether or not you also spread the shoulder blades (protraction) you may also be using the serratus anterior muscle.
(For more about moving and stabilizing the scapula in preparation for down dog and other inverted yoga poses read the scapular awareness article.)
So that you can focus on using your shoulders, keep your knees bent for this downward dog exercise.
Start with your hands shoulder width apart, elbows straight and fingers spread. Bend your knees and lift your heels.
As you repeat the exercise first focus on feeling your hands pressing forwards when you press your ribcage back. Then notice how your ribcage moves relative to your shoulder blades (or notice your shoulders moving relative to your ribcage.)
Once you can feel your shoulders activating you could then additionally focus on:
The idea of both actions is to make your spine feel long. Additionally you could also pull your ears away from your ribcage so that you neck feels long also.
After you've gotten used to the first exercise, take a rest if you need to.
Then do the same exercise but this time straighten your knees and lift your heels as you push your ribcage and hips back and up. Then relax and return to the starting position.
In this version of downward dog do continue to use your shoulders to push your ribcage back and up. Also do continue to make your spine feel long.
But additionally make your legs feel long also.
For both exercises you can inhale as you push back and exhale as you relax forwards.
One additional action you can focus on is making the backs of your knees feel "open."
When doing so, ideally the muscles at the fronts of your thighs (the "quadriceps" will activate.)
For the next exercise, as you push your ribcage back and up using your shoulders, straighten the knees and push the heels down.
For this exercise first focus on your shoulders and spine. Use your shoulders to again push your ribcage back and as you do so make your spine feel long.
Then focus on opening the backs of the knees so that the quadriceps activate. Then to get the heels down focus on lifting (or pulling upwards on) the fronts of the feet. Then lift the heels, bend the knees and move the shoulders forwards again and repeat.
After a few sessions of practicing the above variations of downwards facing dog you may find that you can simply hold downward dog while keeping your shoulders open, your spine long, the backs of the knees open and your heels reaching downwards.
When holding downward dog you could allow your spine to lengthen slightly as you inhale and allow it to relax and shorten while exhaling.
Or you can work at keeping your spine feeling long.
In this case try holding the lower belly in and breath into your upper belly and the ribcage.
One question you may have is whether or not it is okay to sink the shoulders in downward facing dog.
I'd suggest first learning to use your shoulders to push your ribcage back away from your hands so that your arms and torso form one straight line.
In this case your traps are active helping to slide the shoulder blades up the back towards the head.
From there, you can then work on sinking the shoulders by activating the deltoids, the shoulder muscles.
While doing so keep the arms and torso feeling long. You may find that you are activating the upper arm muscles as well as the shoulder muscles.
And you may find that the top of your head sinks down to the floor as a result.
Note to start of with try this action with knees bend then with knees straight.
This action can be a great way to prepare for backbending the shoulders while in wheel pose.
However the main difference between using the shoulders in wheel pose versus in downward dog is in that wheel pose the shoulders are working against gravity to push the ribcage up.
In downward dog, if your goal is to stretch the shoulders then it is very easy to relax the shoulders and leg the ribcage sink down.
This can lead to painful shoulders, so I would advice caution in this variation.
If your shoulders are painful after doing downward dog in this way then change the way that you do it!
Try to figure out how to active the shoulders and scapular stabilizers) or don't do it.
So even if you are sinking the shoulders in downward facing dog, do continue to work at using the shoulders to push the ribcage back, away from the hands.
A variation of downward facing dog is to bend the elbows and place them on the floor with forearms parallel. The resuting pose is called Dolphin Yoga Pose.
Return to Yoga Poses from Downward Facing Dog
Make your yoga poses less wobbly with less effort. Grounding and centering are two techniques for creating stability in yoga poses.

Cecil is a very quiet guy-- the quietest guy in the shelter by far. He is very gentle, friendly, sweet, and just a nice even-tempered boy. He is 6 years old, about 25 pounds, housetrained, neutered, and healthy. He has skin allergies that we think are from the food he eats. He, according to his previous owner, "absolutely hates cats", but likes other dogs and strangers with no problems. Definitely gentle enough to be good with kids as long as they aren't too rowdy. On leash, he walks pretty well until you release him to sniff, then he pulls pretty hard. We use a slip lead and use quick pulls to make sure he is enjoyable to walk with. He is medium-low energy. He loves a good walk around the neighborhood every day, but doesn't need much more than that.

We are dedicated to helping every child make that precious, transformative moment his or her very own - again and again. We believe that just as independent reading is a critical part of every child's learning and growth, finding the right book at the right time is an important first step in their individual development. With support from teachers, parents and schools, children choose from Scholastic the books they want to read, and in doing so, they empower themselves with their own choices.

Happy President's day! In today's "Monday Meet," we are excited to introduce you to our newest intern, Lizzy Jarvis!
Lizzy is a junior at the University of Texas at Austin where she studies Art and Art Education with a focus in Special Education. She will be graduating in 2013. Lizzy says that her initial motivation for wanting to join the Nisolo team was the chance to be involved with a socially responsible company that provides opportunities to impoverished communities. She adds that, "as an education major, I was drawn to the fact that Nisolo donates 10% of the proceeds to programs that support quality education. Not only are they empowering the community, but the youth as well!"
Lizzy is also actively involved in many other organizations including Arc of Austin, a non-profit organization that provides art programs to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She has been participating with the ARC since high school. With an obvious passion for art, she feels privileged to work with artists who are creative and passionate about the art they produce. The best part about it, she says, is seeing everything come to fruition when she gets to attend the participant's art shows!
Like many of us here at Nisolo, Lizzy also has a bit of the travel bug. Recently, she spent a month traveling throughout Thailand. For two weeks she worked at the Gibbon Rehabilitation Program in Phuket, Thailand. While there, she helped assemble cages, formed trails in the forest, and tracked the rehabilitated gibbons in the wild. She also had the chance to travel around Northern Thailand, where she was able to kayak around islands, hike private trails, take tours of watts (temples) and even bathe and feed elephants! Nisolo trip to Thailand, anyone…?
We are excited to have Lizzy on board as an intern with the Nisolo team! We also want to let everyone know that we are currently accepting applications for our Spring/Summer internships. For more information please visit the following link: http://www.nisoloshoes.com/about-us/jobs/
Lastly, thank you for "Meeting Lizzy this Monday."

The FDA has suspended the food facility registration of SM Fish Corporation of Far Rockaway, New York after finding Listeria monocytogenes at that location during three different inspections. In addition, whole genome sequencing (WGS) matched one of the strains found at SM Fish to isolates from four people sickened with listeriosis. Anyone with un-expired ready to eat food manufactured by SM Fish should not eat those products. This is an expansion of the July 29, 2016 recall of Ossie's Herring Salads to include all RTE foods from that facility. Ossie's ready to eat seafood salads were also recalled on September for possible Listeria contamination. Listeria was first fond in the facility in 2015 and found Listeria bacteria in 15 of 105 locations swabbed throughout the building. An … [Read more...]
FDA Too Slow To Issue Recalls, HHS Audit Says
The FDA is too slow to get food companies to recall contamianted products, according to an audit by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In some cases, firms waited for months before they recalled their products that caused many illnesses. The HHS Office released a report that states "we found that the FDA did not have an efficient and effective food recall initiation process that helps ensure the safety of the Nation's food supply. Specifically, FDA did not have policies and procedures to ensure that firms or responsible parties initiated voluntary food recalls promptly. This issue is a significant matter and requires FDA's immediate attention." FDA relies on firms to recall food that can be harmful to the public health. The government did not have the authority to … [Read more...]

Should You Be Worried About the Listeria Recalls?
A multistate outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes linked to CRF Frozen Foods products was first discovered in March 2016. Since then, the company has recalled al of its organic and traditional fruit, vegetable and fruit products processed in its Pasco, Washington facility since May 1, 2014. And dozens of secondary recalls for products containing those ingredients have flooded the market. And a massive recall of sunflower seeds for possible Listeria contamination has triggered secondary recalls. Now, a new recall for walnuts that may be contaminated with Listeria has been issued. So should you be worried about these recalls and the outbreak? First, know that there is zero tolerance for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes bacteria in ready to eat foods. In frozen foods, especially … [Read more...]
Issues Found at CRF Frozen Foods Linked to Listeria Outbreak
The FDA has released a 483 inspection report about the conditions at CRF Frozen Foods plant in Pasco, Washington. That report, released on May 12, 2016, gives more information about the conditions at that plant. Food produced at that facility has been linked to a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak that goes back to 2013, and has led to dozens of frozen produce recalls. At least eight people in three states have been sickened in this outbreak. Damaged equipment described as being "impossible to clean" could be a factor in this contamination. The inspection, conducted March 14 to March 17, 2016, may provide some insight into how the produce was contaminated. The company was told on April 25, 2016 that a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak going back to 2013 was linked to its products by whole … [Read more...]

There have been quite a few different recalls of food products for possible Listeria monocytogenes food poisoning this week. A huge recall of 42 brand names of frozen foods produced by CRF Frozen Foods was prompted by a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak that has sickened at least 8 people in 3 states.

Five main risk factors for criminal victimization
Cohen, Kluegel, and Land in their article Social inequality and predatory criminal victimization: An exposition and test of a formal theory adopts the interpretation of five factors in association with criminal victimization risks. These factors include
Exposure: The three authors define this risk factor for victimization as the "visibility and accessibility of persons or objects to potential offenders at any given time and place" (Cohen et al., 1981). This represents the capacity of the criminal offender to encounter the victim of the crime. The more frequently this factor (exposure) occurs, the more chance or opportunities to harm the victim or his or her property by the offender. For this factor to be effective, the victim must experience physical relationship or distance with the offender for the crime to occur. Accessibility of the victim would determine if he or she is in danger for prominent criminal attacks.
Proximity: The three authors define proximity as "the physical distance between areas where potential targets of crime reside and areas where relatively large populations of offenders are found" (Cohen et al., 1981). The difference between the first and the second factors for victimization is that the former illustrates the physical visibility aspects while the later evaluates the effect of offenders in relation to physical distance of the residential. When the distance between residential location of the victims and the offender is minimal, there would be high chances for victimization risk. This argument bases its foundation on the social interaction and gravity law of distance.
Target Attractiveness: The article defines target attractiveness as "the material or symbolic desirability of persons or property targets to potential offenders, as well as the perceived inertia of a target against illegal treatment" (Cohen et al., 1981). This factor focuses on the mass or weight, size, and physical abilities of the victim of crime to attain protection against criminal offenders. The ability of the property to appeal effectively to the criminal offender might prove to be a motivation to commit a crime. The essence of victimization risk depends on the extent of the target attractiveness. This illustrates that when the target attractiveness is high, victimization risks would be high.
Guardianship: The article refers to this factor as "the effectiveness of a person (housewives, neighbors, pedestrians, private security guards, law enforcement officers) or objects (burglar alarms, locks, barred windows) in preventing the violation from occurring, either by their presence alone or by some sort of direct or indirect action" (Cohen et al., 1981). The presence of effective guardianship would scare off the criminal offenders thus reducing the elements of victimization risk. Absence of the guardianship factors would enhance the ability of the criminal offenders to attack their targets. This would be because of the reduction on the security system.
Definitional Properties of Specific Crimes: The article refers to this factor as "the features of specific crimes that act to constrain strictly instrumental actions by potential offenders" (Cohen et al., 1981). The notion to this factor is that some crimes prove to be difficult to commit hence reduces the victimization risks to individuals within the target groups.
The main cause of property crime
The main cause for property crime is the presence of social inequality in the society. The presence of social inequality promotes the development of anomie (state of norm less) thus an opportunity for crime to take place. The difference between social status in the society results in the development of tension in the society. This creates the mood for property crime thus the main cause for the criminal activities in relation to physical property. Social inequality divides the society into different classes depending on the economic status of an individual. The creation classes lead to the development of tensions in view of exploitation and bridging of economical gaps. This is an indication that social inequality and poverty are the reasons behind numerous criminal activities in the contemporary world.
How guardianship relates to income level
Guardianship has direct, proportional relationship to the income levels. Increase in the income levels enhances the level of guardianship thus reduction of victimization risk. Individuals with higher income levels have the capacity to purchase guardianship instrumentals such as alarms, locks, and security gadgets. Higher income levels also allow society members to marry easily thus increasing the guardianship capabilities. This is through an increase in the number of potential targets that routinely attach to the victims of criminal offences. Individuals with low-income levels have minimal capacity to purchase guardianship instrumentals. Such instrumentals include alarms and locks. This situation enhances the victimization risks in relation to crime targets.
Relationship between Cohen, Kluegel, and Land's article and Sacco and Kennedy's book
Proximity: Sacco and Kennedy in their book Criminal event: an introduction to Criminology in Canada, illustrates the fact that for crime to occur within the society, there must be a connection of time and space between the criminal and the victim. Sacco and Kennedy came to recognize this notion as the "victims and offenders, intersecting in time and space" argument. This was the original view of Cohen, Kluegel, and Land in their article. Cohen et al. gave the proximity term or name to the argument in which criminals and victims had to relate or intersect for crime to occur. The relationship of crime and proximity (space and time) results into development of tension (anomie) thus execution of criminal activities.
Guardianship: Sacco and Kennedy note the fact that individuals tend to adopt instrumentals reducing the extent of criminal activities. Such activities might offer direct or indirect minimization of the rate of criminal activity or victimization processes. This idea represents one of the five factors of victimization risks Cohen et al. were explaining in the article. Instrumentals such as security guards offer direct protection to the subscribers thus reducing chances of criminal activities to the subjects or societal members. As noted in the article, the book explains the relationship of guardianship and income levels. There is a direct relationship between guardianship and income levels. Lower income earners within the society experiences limitations in adopting the guardianship models or instrumental hence have high chances of facing victimization risks. Higher income earners in the society have access to security alarms, doorbells, security guards, marriage partners and barred windows. This represents enhancement of the security systems hence minimization of the risks in relation to victimization process. The overriding factor in guardianship is the inequality of the social status or prestige within the context of the society.
The book notes that the presence of anomie state within the society is the main cause of crime. Cohen et al. describe the main cause of crime as the social inequality within the community. Social inequality leads to the creation of anomie sates where societal members abandon the routine ways of life. Individuals engage in criminal activities due to the development of tensions among different persons. The development of tensions results into the commitment of crime in order to bridge the gap of social inequality. There is a connection between social inequality in the article and the anomie state in the context of the book. Poverty and social inequalities are the reasons behind the ever-increasing cases of criminal activities in the society. This is view in both secondary sources thus a connection of ideas and arguments to illustrate reasons behind criminal activities.
Compare and Contrast
Both articles (Social inequality and predatory criminal victimization: An exposition and test of a formal theory. American Sociological Review and The cost of inequality: Metropolitan structure and violent crime) illustrates that inequality is a significant cause of criminal activities. The Cohen et al. article notes the fact that social inequality leads to the development or enhancement of crime in relation to property (Cohen et al., 1981). This is an illustration of the development…[continue]

Criminology Criminal Victimization Crime is the breaking of rules or laws for which a legal system can provide a conviction (Darrow & Baatz, 2009). Historically, individual human societies have defined crimes differently. Crimes can be considered local, state, or international and can occur in several stages such as planning, disclosure, and intent (Darrow & Baatz, 2009). Many crimes are often unreported, not recorded, not followed through on, and unable to be proved. According
Risk of Committing Violence Among Individuals Suffering From Bipolar Disorder Several studies argue that most psychiatric symptoms are closely correlated with criminality, since such symptoms impair judgment and violate societal norms. In this regard, several studies have been conducted regarding the risk of violence among individuals suffering from mental illnesses but few have highlighted the possibility of bipolar individuals engaging in criminal behavior. The common disorders known to be highly related
Criminal Justice Management Mapping Crime Hotspots to Deter Crime Reducing crime is a constant concern of law enforcement and community leaders. Police strategies for reducing crime rely heavily on deterrence, in the form of police patrols (reviewed by Koper, 1995, p. 649-650). Research has shown that a police presence reminds offenders and potential offenders of the certainty of punishment, which is a more effective deterrent than the promised severity of a punishment.
This had lead to a growing number of states segregating juveniles and adults within the adult prison. Judges are also taking into account the availability of beds when they determine sentences for juveniles that have been tried as adults and may go so far as putting the youth on probation rather than putting them in an adult prison with adult prisoners (Should Juveniles Be Tried as Adults, 2007). It is
Crime In the beginning the main focus of the drug addiction theory was on the habituated pleasure reinforcement as well as the potential of the drug for the reward. Drug affects the dopamine receptors that are present in the brain and the individual is flooded with the desirable emotions by using dopamine, these desirable emotions are considered to be the reward for using the substance (Pinel, 2009). When the relationship of

(Sherman, 1998, p. 82-85). From the results, the reviewers were able to come to several different conclusions. First, they concluded that there is widespread interest in the use of scientific evidence in criminological policy-making. However, they also
