Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
It sounds to me like your therapist feels you need to express your deeper feelings and is trying to get you in touch with them. But I get the feeling that you are not ready yet. And that is ok. Sometimes the feelings are just not there yet. They can be under the surface, or deeper inside. You can't really force them to come out. It's like thinking really hard about sleep when you go to bed. Thinking really hard about it isn't going to make sleep come. It's just going to prevent it. It's the same with your feelings. Focusing so hard on expressing your deeper feelings in therapy is going to make it even harder to bring them out, especially if you feel self conscious about it in therapy.They will come up when they are ready, very naturally. As long as you are not having feelings and ignoring them, there is no harm in not expressing them yet.
It also may be that you are not so much sad and in need of a good cry right now, as needing to express your anger. You mentioned playing with a pencil until it broke and wanting to break all the crayons. You also mentioned having the desire to stab one of the perpetrators. From the sound of it, anger is the main feeling you have. How much have you been able to explore your anger?
It might also help you to find other ways to express your feelings. Writing your feelings out sometimes helps, especially writing a letter to the perpetrators that attacked you. It provides an opportunity for you to say what you want to say and at the same time helping you to get in touch with your deeper feelings.
I have not heard of using massage therapy as a way of getting out your feelings. I'm not sure how that would work. But it's worth a try if you feel you might be helped.
I'm glad to hear that you had a better day yesterday. It may be that you were able to get out some of your feelings through the nightmare (though in quite a painful way!). Getting through this is going to take good days and bad. But that is how working through trauma is. It helps to remember days like yesterday when you feel down and have trouble feeling there is any hope.
It sounds like it is your fear holding you back from crying. Crying is a powerful reaction to an equally powerful event and how that event impacted you. So it's going to feel overwhelming when you consider doing it. But you may find that although it initially feels hard to cope with, as you let your emotions out, it gets easier. You have been taught by your parents to hold your feelings in (through seeing them do it) and that there is something wrong with letting them out. You may have unconsciously picked up from them that there is something to fear about expressing your feelings.
There is no reason at this point to pressure yourself. Your therapist is there to support you no matter what you feel, but it may be easier on you if you back off the subject for a while. Talking about your more surface feelings may be enough to trigger your deeper feelings and help you cry.
You may also want to talk to her more about your fear of crying. That may help you feel more free to let your feelings out.
Being angry at yourself could also be a way to avoid your deeper feelings. What do you feel you did to deserve to being angry at yourself for?
Beating on your couch may help you get more in touch with your anger. Yelling into a pillow is a good way to express yourself too. Sometimes anger covers up sadness so if you let your anger out, you may find yourself tearful, which is normal.
I explored the massage therapy idea but besides helping you deal with stress, I cannot find any studies on it that say it is helpful with expressing emotions. I may need to do more digging, but if you find out more from your therapist, let me know. I do agree, someone touching you in that way might trigger some PTSD symptoms for you. I'd mention that as well to your therapist.
You have a very logical mind and I understand that. Trying to write out your feelings in an organized manner tells a lot about how you view your feelings and how you process them. And that is not bad, it's actually good. You want to know more about how you deal with your feelings so you can work better in therapy. It is ok that most of your page was about your feelings toward yourself. That needs to be worked through, I think, before you can deal with your deeper feelings of anger about what happened to you.
Maybe I just need to beat the crap out of my drums. I think that's what I'll do tonight. I'll put some really loud music on my ipod and play along on my drums until I wear myself out. That sounds like a good plan, I think.
Your question about what I feel I deserve to be angry at myself for (wow - there are a lot of prepositions in that sentence!) - surprised me. I thought it was obvious, and I thought I told you. I literally asked them to do things. I offered it. I said I liked it. I did things. When I see these things or think about them, I want to kick my own a**.
I will find out more about the massage thing. She is going to bring me the lady's card tomorrow. She said one of the therapists in the office was assaulted by a client, and she went to this lady and found it extremely helpful. I will ask her to ask the other therapist more about it. Apparently, this woman believes that trauma is held in our bodies as well. Not sure what I think about the whole thing. I will let you know what else I learn.
Meanwhile, I think I will take your advice and not think about expressing my feelings. I will just "be," as my therapist likes to say.
Drumming sounds like a wonderful outlet, though I hope you live in a house and not an apartment!
You did tell me about how you felt you deserved the anger, but taking a closer look at how you are feeling might help. While blaming yourself might a natural response in your case, finding out why it is natural for you is helpful. Finding out if your anger is about something you are seeing in yourself, or is it because it is too hard for you to face being angry at your attackers? Or is it about something outside of the attack like self esteem? These are all questions that may help you explore your anger further. Although we did talk at length about this before, it may not have been enough to help you find what is behind it. It might be beneficial to find out what it is. Talking to your therapist about it is good too. Or you can put it on the back burner now. It's up to you. I just wanted to throw that out there for you to think about.
I am going to continue to look into the massage therapy. I may also ask a colleague or two if they have heard anything about it. It might be something newer that I haven't heard of yet.
Yes - - I have a house - and pretty tolerant neighbors. And although it wouldn't be the same as banging on my acoustic set, I do have an electronic set with which I can use earphones, so I can play in the middle of the night if I want.
As for self esteem, I actually have pretty good self esteem. I am normally very confident, and I have been accused of being cocky at times. Other than this issue, I think I am fine. In fact, some people have told me, especially at church, that everything comes easy for me and I'm always the favorite and I think I am better than everyone else. Now, I appreciated their honesty, although it seemed odd they would tell me this, and it seemed like something a 7th grader would say, but I guess that's how they feel. So apparently I exude a lot of confidence. But I don't think I'm better than anybody else, and things don't come easy to me -- I work hard. I think I am pretty good at recognizing my skills and talents, but I am also (I hope) cognizant of my shortcomings. I don't think it's an overall self-esteem thing. I think I just have issues with my behavior that night. I think it's because I didn't act like I would have expected myself to act, and I really disappointed myself. Like I have certain expectations, and I fell way short. I never in a million years would have thought I would do what I did. You know how people think in their minds things like "if the house across the street was on fire, I would run into the flames and save the kids" or "if someone tried to mug me I would kick his butt?" We all think things like this, and we can believe them, but they have never been tested. I lost the ability to think that, because I was tested and did the exact opposite of what I would have expected. It was nicer not knowing.
I feel like I helped them -- that after a point, I was a total consenting participant. The thing is -- I didn't know these guys. They didn't owe me anything. This is probably just "them" being "them." But I owed myself something, and I blew it. I feel like at the beginning, it wasn't about me at all. I really think that they were going to do something to somebody that night, and I happened to be the one who fell into the trap. They didn't care who I was. But I feel like later on, it became about me, and what I would do. And this night represents about 80% of my sexual experiences, so it's all tied up in that, too. I had never done most of the things I did that night. I didn't even understand some of it. So now, that can't be changed. I feel like I am tethered to these 2 guys, like they own part of me. Does that make sense?
It's good that you don't feel it's your self esteem that is an issue. You sound like you are aware of your issues and feel secure in who you are.
No one knows how they would react in a traumatic situation. People think about these things because they feel they can prepare themselves if they can plan out how they would react. But there is no way to plan because there is no way to know all of the details of a trauma. And so many things come into play- the circumstances, the person's background, other people involved, and the mindset of everyone involved. Plus, people do not account for the self preservation factor. There is a very strong instinct to protect your own life. People would love to think that as long as they desire something, they can do it no matter what. Or they feel they have themselves all figured out and know what they will do. But until they are confronted with a situation, they don't really know how they will react.
Psychologically, people go into shock when they are confronted with a traumatic situation. It takes a lot of time for the mind to accept what is going on. Because of this, your mind takes over and automatically reacts by preserving your life by whatever means possible. Logic and pre conceived notions about how you would react go out the window. You were in survival mode during your attack and you decided to cooperate in order to survive. If you had not, you may not be here today.
I must respectfully XXXXX XXXXX guys did owe you something. They owed you your own personal space, dignity and respect. They owed you the peace of mind you deserve. They took your peace of mind and selfishly used your body for their own purposes. If that is them being them, that is downright frightening.
It makes a lot of sense that you feel tethered to the perpetrators. They did things to you that you never thought you would have to do, unless you wanted to on your own terms. And they attacked you, hurt you and made you bleed, not something most people enjoy when they want to have sex. This was not about sex for them though. This was about power and control. Sex was only the tool. They acted out violently and hurt you. No matter how they did it, they intended on causing a lot of pain to another human being. That says they are seriously mentally ill.
I understand that the mind sometimes goes on automatic pilot in these kinds of situations. But for my mind's "automatic pilot" to respond by causing me to act like a whore, is disturbing to me. I understand that this kind of thing is not about sex, that it is about power. But it involved sex, and I think that because I did not have much experience before that, it is all the same to me. I feel ruined in that way.
My therapist called to day to confirm our appointment tomorrow and to check up. She suggested maybe we do some EMDR tomorrow to try to make me feel better. I think I told you that we were going to start EMDR before this stuff came to a head. We had only done a "dry run," so to speak. What do you think? Will it help at this point or do you think I need to work on this other stuff first? I said "sure," but now I'm thinking that it may not be good to go in yet another direction right now. I am confused as it is. I felt, several months ago, that my therapost was all over the place. I told her I was overwhelmed and I would like to go with only one or two things at a time. She understood. But sometimes I feel like she goes in one direction, and because it does not immediately have results, she starts something else, too, trying to find the "magic formula." But this stresses me out and makes me feel like we aren't sticking with something. ?? Maybe I need to say something again. I need a plan. I need (would like) to know exactly what is going on and what is going to happen. I feel uncomfortable jumping around. However, I really really like my therapist. I feel totally comfortable with her and I now believe her, for the most part, when she's telling me things. I definitely DO NOT want to start over with someone else. But I feel like we need to stick with something. You know?
It is perfectly ok for you to have constant thoughts about how you feel and even to lose some sleep over it. Your mood is ok too. The only thing I would say is check with the doctor about why the meds are not working for you. Sleep medications sometimes have very strong side effects and everyone is different in how they respond. So you just want to rule out any physical reason for your wakefulness and mood.
But if it's not the medications, then you are probably experiencing the normal ups and downs of working through a trauma. Being preoccupied about how you feel, memories of the event, nightmares, feeling ok one minute and down the next are all normal reactions. Your mind is adjusting to all the new feelings and facing what you went through. It's much like any other event that happens in your life. You go through the stages of grief and of adjusting to what you have been through. Eventually you will absorb and adjust to the trauma and be able to accept what happened.
You can trust that you are not going nuts. It may feel like it because you are adjusting to all these new feelings and trying to find a way to deal with them. It's normal to feel unsettled and lose your equilibrium. Eventually though, you will adjust and the attack will become just a part of your life rather than your focus.
Sorry about that! I get your responses on my email and the only one that showed up this morning was the bottom response. JA is changing some of the systems and I think there are some glitches.
Just because you did what you had to do to survive does not make you a whore. You gave in because you could do nothing else. What would have happened if you had refused? They were already talking about killing you or cutting you again. You were bleeding and didn't even know how badly you were hurt. What do you feel your other choices were?
I have heard of EMDR but I've never used it. So far there are no studies that show it works or doesn't work that I am aware of. I'm not sure how it would work given the nature of the exercise. But it is one of the newest types of treatment so many therapists are trying it maybe just to see if it does help.
If you feel pressured by your therapist to jump around and find quicker answers to your issues, then you may want to tell her that you need to stick to one plan of treatment. She may feel it's important to help you the best way she can so she is searching for therapies that she feel may make you feel better sooner. But she does seem to have your best interest at heart so she probably is fine with you wanting to stick with one plan too. This is your treatment so you should do what is most comfortable for you.

Mumbai: Sachin Tendulkar is optimistic about Team India defending their World Cup title next year. "I have no hesitation in saying we are a talented side and there are some special players in the team. I know that they have not been able to produce the kind of results or rather live up to the expectation of the people, but things can change," he said.
"This is the time that I feel the team requires support. When you are winning, you are in a good frame of mind, but when you and you a billion people are behind you, with you, the mindset changes immediately. That is the need of the hour," he said, at the launch of the special edition silver coin in his honour.
Sachin was a part of the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led squad that emerged triumphant in the 2011 World Cup. He recalled how they had struggled before finishing runners-up to Australia in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.
"I remember in 2003, the New Zealand tour before we got to the finals (of World Cup) wasn't a great one for us. We went to South Africa and there were some side matches that we lost. And then we all started thinking that we need to plan differently, play differently and it worked for us," said Tendulkar.
According to the 40-year-old, more than scoring centuries, contributing to the team's success was far more important.
"Scoring hundreds was something that I never thought of, I just wanted to go and bat for India and win matches. I remember one game against Sri Lanka at Cuttack and I was batting on 97. Dinesh Karthik was on strike and asked me what he should do. I told him just hit the ball and finish the game."
Tendulkar said his intense practise sessions was for his own satisfaction. "It was about my own satisfaction and not the number of hours or minutes or the number of balls that I faced," he explained. He admitted that he admired Viv Richards but did not try to emulate him after a failed attempt.
Asked about the innovative shots, he said: "Like any other sport, cricket is also changing. The shots (being) played today, I don't think anyone was playing those shots in 1980 or 1990 or even 2005.
Tendulkar had a fair share of being at the wrong end of dubious umpiring decisions during his career, but did not hold any grudge against the erring officials, some of who had later even apologised.
"I did vent my anger. I am a normal person and I have ways to take my frustration out. There were times when I got angry and doing that on the field was not the right way to handle things. I didn't get carried away with anything if somebody has made a mistake," he said.

60 Plus Association
The 60 Plus Association is an American 501(c)(4) organization founded in 1992 and based in Alexandria, Virginia. Its stated purpose is to promote solutions to seniors' issues that are grounded in free markets, less government, and less taxes.[1] Over the years, it has sought to offer a privatized option for Social Security, end the federal estate tax, and strengthen gun rights.[2] Current issues include opposing certain health care reform proposals,[3] opposing federal energy standards,[4] opposing the structure of the General Motors bailout,[5] supporting the Stop Online Piracy Act,[6] and opposing tax increases.[7] 60 Plus is a member of the Cooler Heads Coalition.
60 Plus is led by its Chairman James L Martin, a 77-year-old veteran of the US Marines. Martin has previously led several conservative advocacy groups, and also was chief of staff for six years for former Republican congressman and senator, the late Edward Gurney of Florida.[1] Martin also served as a member of President George W. Bush's health and human services transition team.[8]
In 2010, Amy Noone Frederick (b. 1978) was named president of the 60 Plus Association. Frederick, wife of former Virginia legislator Jeff Frederick, is a former lobbyist and political consultant. For eight years she served as a senior adviser to Virginia legislative candidates. Frederick graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania with a degree in government.[9]
In 2002, the Washington Post reported that 60 Plus received an unrestricted educational grant (which can be used as most needed) from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, also known as PhRMA.[10] Ken Johnson, senior vice president and spokesman for PhRMA said that as of 2009 the association had not provided any funding to 60 Plus for at least five years.[11] In 2009, Carl Forti, a political consultant and spokesman for 60 Plus said, "I don't believe PhRMA has ever given 60 Plus money." He added that 60 Plus is funded by donations from its 5.5 million members.
60 Plus also earns income from sponsoring life insurance and health screening for its members.[12]
In 2014, documents left behind by an attendee at an exclusive "donor seminar" put on by Charles and David Koch (of Koch Industries) revealed that the billionaire brothers count the 60 Plus Association as a part of their massive political network.[13][14][15]
In 2014 as a sign of how unwieldy the vast Koch network is, the Freedom Partners supported 60 Plus Association ran TV ads that the Koch brothers did not agree with.[16]

Sure. The external parser and external converter features override
the internal parsers for exactly this reason. For your task, you may
find it much easier to use an external "converter" since this would
just require your script to record the information you want and pass

Use more ink!
Use more ink!
I'm writing to you about the printing of the Valley News Dispatch. It is far too light and very hard for us to read.
Remember, most of your readers are over the age of 50 or 60. The young people out there are busy doing things other than reading the paper. Someone else wrote in concerning this a few months ago and apparently nothing has been done about it.
I've been a subscriber for 57 years. If there was another local newspaper, I'd be tempted to switch to it.
Please use more ink!

None of it was real, of course. The man who sat at the place of honor at the table, slightly elevated before the other two in a mammoth carved chair that was not quite a throne, understood this. He was dreaming; he had been dreaming for a long, long time. The hall, the shoveltusk trophies, the fire, the table—the orc and the boy—all were simply a part of his dreaming.

It rose like the smoke, the deep bellowing noise, wordless but full of meaning; a chant, carried by a dozen voices. The sounds of drums and rattles and bone striking bone formed a fierce undercurrent to the wordless call. The worst of the wind's anger was deflected from the taunka village by the circle of posts and hides, and the lodges, their curving roofs arching over a large interior space in defiance of the hardships of this land, were strong.

You may have heard of the popular computer game World of Warcraft (WoW), which recently released its fifth expansion, which adds more quests, dungeons, and other content, in November. WoW has over 10 million players and there are few signs of this slowing down, which is impressive for a game originally released in 2004. What you might not have known is that there are complex economic and social structures in place everywhere in the game. But do these systems mirror real life in any meaningful way? I'd argue that making profit in WoW's auction house reflects on one's understanding of a free market since it employs similar principles. One Manhattan College professor recently likened playing WoW to a religious experience since it "tests a person's' ethics and values, and also gets them to think about things like environmentalism and moral issues." I'm not sure if I'd attend a WoW church service, but the game is a great example of a virtual economy and being kind (or unkind) to your neighbor.
How is WoW's virtual money made? This "gold" is used to buy everything from player items to goods from vendors placed around the game. It is created and destroyed when players interact with the world. By completing a quest or killing a monster, players receive gold. In an interview with the Call to Auction podcast, WoW's lead designer gave some insight on how the game controls money supply:
In addition to many of the challenges that real-world economies face, WoW's economy has other complications. The amount of USD introduced into the U.S. economy is controlled by the United States Treasury and the Federal Reserve. In WoW, however, the amount of gold that goes into circulation is determined by our players' behavior. Every monster that is killed, every quest that is completed, creates more fresh currency that is added to the economic system. Gold is taken out of circulation not by a central bank, but by how much our players choose to interact with NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) to purchase various items and services.
The Auction House
As the primary way to make virtual gold, the auction house is an all-out free market with few restrictions. Players sell goods like crafting materials, pets, gems, armor, and weapons that other players need. Items are posted for 12, 24, or 48 hours at a time with varying deposit costs depending on the quality of items being posted. These deposits exist to deter too many trivial auctions. Big ticket "epic" items that are more powerful fetch significant amounts of gold, and undercutting is the name of the game for selling items quickly. Supply and demand is in full effect on the auction house, and items that players use often are more liquid, especially as player population increases.
Player population in WoW is a great example of the benefit of increasing a market's size and encouraging more people to enter a market. If you want to find an audience for your goods, simply having more people is the best things one can do to improve that chance. WoW bluntly shows us how population control is detrimental to everyone in a free economy. What happens when people stop playing WoW and don't participate in the virtual economy? Each person serves a purpose in this puzzle. Christianity tells us that the human person (even one playing a computer game), created in the image of God, is individually unique, rational, the subject of moral agency, and a co-creator. Players of WoW have intrinsic value, both as people and creators of its virtual economy. Having more players means more opportunities for everyone and a flourishing virtual market.
Populations in WoW are a quaint example since the controlled gold supply guarantees everyone will have some, but it also shows the good of having access to important in-game items with an active auction house. I used to play on a WoW server with thousands fewer players, and important items were simply not available at normal prices due to price gouging by the few suppliers. On a very populated server these issues disappear and those with less gold find common items more affordable due to market competition.
As you can see, this one system provides an interesting outlet for players to practice free market economics in a mostly harmless environment. If you have some time on your hands I'd recommend World of Warcraft as a fun way to do some virtual value investing.Read More
So there was an interesting announcement out of Blizzard yesterday, apparently they're going to be releasing some names that have been parked with old characters. Specifically any characters that have not logged into the game since 13 November 2008 will have their names forfeited letting anyone snap them up once 6.0.2 hits live.
I know that reclaiming old names isn't something new, you can already petition to have unused names released on a case by case basis. I'm not sure what the current requirements are, but I'm guessing the character in question will have to be thoroughly abandoned before a Game Master will give its name to you.
The date they chose is the release date for Wrath of the Lich King (yeah, that came out over six years ago now) so basically if a character hasn't been played since The Burning Crusade, that name is now up for grabs. It's a good date in my opinion, I mean if you haven't played a character since then, it's thoroughly been forgotten. Plus, the character isn't being deleted, it's just loosing it's name. They've also given us plenty of warning, so if you are particularly attached to a name you haven't used in six years, you can still save it.
Originally I didn't think this would free up many names, but then I remembered that this game came out in 2004 (wow), and now I've had to revise that. This is going to free up a lot of names, especially the simpler and more generic names. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them get snatched up again though, I know several people are planning on swooping up as many names as they can when they're released.
The Godmother over at Alt:ernative Chat speculated that this may be a draw for old players with lapsed subscriptions, but I don't agree. People who haven't played in six years aren't very likely to care about character names, and I don't think this will bring them back.
No, I think this is just a logistical issue, Blizzard is running out of names. Think about it, especially since we're no longer allowed to use characters outside the Latin alphabet, there's only so many possible names. I think this is simply so new characters can be added to old servers.
Still, good move by Blizzard, I'm sure there's a lot of people excited about this.

Why "Lost" Still Matters
The ABC TV series "Lost" left the air almost a year ago, yet it continues to generate lots of emotion from fans and detractors. Recently the show's Executive Producers, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were blind-sided by insults from popular fantasy author George R.R. Martin, whose book Game of Thrones has been turned into an HBO mini-series, and who continues work on his Song of Fire and Ice book series.
Martin expressed concern about finding a satisfying ending for his series saying, "What if I f--- it up at the end? What if I do a Lost?"
That comment struck Lindelof and Cuse as unnecessarily harsh; they had poured their hearts and souls into "Lost's" storytelling. Both men responded on Twitter—Lindelof with some zingers directed at Martin; Cuse more succinctly with the statement, "We never raise ourselves up by demeaning the work of others."
Having watched "Lost" from the beginning, I think the level of animosity directed at it is completely unwarranted. The show told a brilliant, engaging story in a way that made it matter to people. In fact, it's a story that I believe continues to matter.
For the uninitiated, "Lost" dealt with a group of plane crash survivors who landed on a mysterious, mystical island. Initially, these castaways were emotionally-crippled souls without any genuine human connections, but through the love and responsibility they exhibited toward each other, they were able to grow as human beings—to move past the tragedies, mistakes, and obsessions that haunted them and eventually arrive in a state of grace. Despite everything you may hear about the show's complicated mythology, these are the issues the show was about at its core.
Before the haters and naysayers chime in, I do acknowledge that "Lost's" mythology grew unwieldy, and numerous threads were not tied up. But to paraphrase Shakespeare, "Lost" is a show far more sinned against than sinning. It dared to deal with big issues—faith and doubt, sin and redemption, earthly life and the afterlife—through some of the most well-drawn and acted characters ever created on television.
Take the issues of faith and doubt: There was an ongoing clash between the characters Jack Shephard and John Locke about whether our actions and experiences in life have some unseen purpose, or whether only those things that can be scientifically proven and deduced are real.
In one heated exchange, Locke screams at Jack, "Why do you find it so hard to believe?" Jack responds, "Why do you find it so easy?" Locke exclaims, "It's never been easy!"
Right there, you've got an encapsulated version of questions that most believers of all stripes have grappled with. In a world where earthquakes and tsunamis kill thousands, where people who've made evil decisions live to a ripe old age while innocent children die in accidents or from diseases, there can seem like plenty of reasons not to believe in a benevolent God. Yet if people are humble enough to consider the possibility that a reality exists beyond what the senses can experience, they may come to notice connections and meanings they never knew were there. "Lost" did an excellent job of bringing those questions and struggles to light in a way that resonates with the open-minded.
Lost's themes about the journey from sin to redemption was reflected in all the primary characters, but none quite so well as Ben Linus. He was a Machiavellian villain who justified his own self-aggrandizing actions as being for the good of the island. As the story progressed, however, we began to see hints that he genuinely cared about his adopted daughter, Alex.

About Me
I have just begun modelling and am looking to promote myself as much as possible. I think that my main look is the classic English Rose but I am able to adapt to many other varied styles. For example, I have photos where I have worked on a very Russian look and I have recently been involved in an Asian Fashion Show where I was dressed in classic Asian Bridal Wear.
My interests include fitness, dance and modern foreign languages. I take my health very seriously and attend a gym very regularly to try to keep myself in the best shape possible. I enjoy running very much and have taken part in a couple of charity 10k challenges. I am also very interested in dance as I have studied ballet most of my life and have also had some experience of modern Indian dance and Russian folk dance.
I have just graduated from the University of Bristol with a 2:1 BA French and Russian. I am looking forward to beginning my Masters Course in Politics, Security and Integration next year at UCL. I feel that all these interests go towards making me an interesting model with much insight into the world who is able to work in a number of areas.

Does anyone really think Romney has a shot? Frankly, is that really a great idea?
I don't know. I don't care for Romney and I'm not a huge fan of Obama. I think the Republican party is just a sincere joke at this point. I would have really liked to see a strong candidate go against Obama because I don't think Romney has any chance at unseating him.
Was Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, Ron Paul, and John Huntsman really the only candidates they could come up with?
Rick Perry - bat shit crazy religious zealout.
Michelle Bachman - bat shit crazy over-emotional woman.
Newt Gingrich - womanizer, smart guy, hasn't been involved in politics for the better part of a decade.
Mitt Romney - massive flip-flopper, not really a republican, out of touch with reality, good businessman.
Rick Santorum - religious zealout, hypocrite, wasn't even a good congressman.
John Huntsman - who? Such a small blip on the screen.
Hermain Cain - womanizer, too many skeletons in the closet, obvious superficial pitch to minorities.
Ron Paul - probably the best foreign policy & deficit ideals, old as dirt, really polarizing social agenda.

Threatening workers with death may not be the best message for West Virginia AFL-CIO bosses to broadcast, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Following the lead of the national AFL-CIO, the state union coalition is trying to block right-to-work — which lets workers opt out of paying unions — by calling the policy a deadly corporate plot.
Warning that right-to-work has "been shown to increase workplace injuries and deaths by as much as 54 percent," a West Virginia AFL-CIO radio ad asks, "doesn't that make it a 'right to die on the job' law?"
Republicans plan to introduce a right-to-work bill in the West Virginia Legislature in January, and think they have enough votes to override Democrat Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's likely veto. Polling shows most voters in the state support right-to-work.
RELATED: West Virginia union bosses panicking over right-to-work
Based on AFL-CIO's own 2015 Death on the Job report, the fatal workplace injury rate in West Virginia is worse than in 23 of America's 25 right-to-work states.
Right-to-work simply lets workers choose whether to pay unions. It doesn't stop workers from unionizing, and it doesn't stop unionized workers from negotiating over safety issues.
Logic suggests — and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data confirm — workplace fatalities are more common in professions involving heavy machinery and dangerous work. Many of those professions are more prevalent in right-to-work states than in forced-unionism states.
But the West Virginia AFL-CIO is essentially telling workers they'd be more likely to die in car crashes, falls, wild animal attacks or other workplace accidents if they were free to choose whether to pay unions.
A West Virginia AFL-CIO spokeswoman failed to respond to questions from Watchdog.org about how workers' lives are endangered by letting them choose whether to pay unions.
Union bosses are furious with West Virginia Radio Corporation for its decision to stop airing the "right to die on the job" advertisement and two other West Virginia AFL-CIO spots after broadcasting the ads on its network of stations for several days.
"We're working to get the truth out there through our own advertisements, exercising our free speech rights, and we're effectively banned from the airwaves in a major portion of the state," West Virginia AFL-CIO president Kenny Perdue said in a news release.
In a Charleston Gazette-Mail interview, West Virginia AFL-CIO secretary-treasurer Josh Sword suggested libertarian billionaires Charles and David Koch were trying to "control the airwaves."
In 2013, West Virginia AFL-CIO and affiliated groups paid Sword $122,565; Perdue got $98,541. The labor unions' revenue comes from workers in the form of dues and mandatory fees.
"The 'right to die' campaign borders on the absurd and is an insult to our intelligence," Garrett Ballengee, executive director of the free-market Cardinal Institute, told Watchdog.org.
"We should remember, labor leaders have been telling us that wages in right-to-work states are much lower than in forced unionism states — which isn't true, by the way, when we account for cost of living," Ballengee said.
"Do labor leaders expect us to believe workers in right-to-work states are that naive and have some sort of death wish that they're willing to accept lower pay and higher risks of fatalities when they could simply move to another state?"
"This type of desperation on the part of labor leaders tells us that we are simply witnessing the death rattle of a rigid, coercive and outdated labor system in the Mountain State," Ballengee concluded.
Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin have all implemented right-to-work since 2012. West Virginia's legislative session begins Jan. 13.
Listen to the West Virginia AFL-CIO's "right to die on the job" ad here:
A full transcript of the advertisement follows:
West Virginia families face tough times. But instead of improving our economy, the new legislative leadership is taking orders from out-of-state corporate CEOs and pushing a so-called right-to-work law that does nothing to create jobs. In fact, it's been shown to increase workplace injuries and deaths by as much as 54 percent. Doesn't that make it a 'right to die on the job' law? Tell your legislator right-to-work is wrong for West Virginia. Paid for by the working men and women of the West Virginia AFL-CIO.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated West Virginia's fatal workplace injury rate was worse than 24, as opposed to 23, right-to-work states

Community health centers under pressure to improve care
Hundreds of the nation's nearly 1,200 community health centers, which serve millions of mostly poor people, fall short on key measures such as vaccinating children and helping diabetics control blood sugar, federal data show.
More than 20 million sought care at the non-profit, mostly privately run centers last year — double the number a decade ago. The centers are poised to take an even more central role in the U.S. health system if President Obama's health law is upheld, because it would give 30 million people health coverage starting in 2014.
A Kaiser Health News-USA TODAY analysis of 2010 health center data showed:
INTERACTIVE: Kaiser Health News' Community Health Center Chart (Updated with corrected national average data)
MORE: Kaiser Health News
STORY: Community clinics have odds stacked against them
•Centers in the South generally performed worse than those in New England, the Midwest and California
•Nearly 75% of the centers performed significantly worse — at least 10% below the national average — in screening women for cervical cancer. The national average reflects the care of all Americans.
•About 73% performed significantly below average in helping diabetics maintain their blood sugar levels.
•Roughly 28% performed significantly below average for immunizing two-year-olds.
"We feel good about quality overall, but there is clearly room to improve," says Jim Macrae, who oversees the health centers for the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration.
Consumer advocates worry about the implications for patients.
"Of course this (data analysis) raises a concern for us," says Cindy Zeldin, executive director of Georgians for a Healthy Future, an Atlanta-based consumer health group. "We have so many uninsured for whom the community health centers are one of the few places where they can go for primary care."
Claude Earl Fox, a top health official in the Clinton administration, says community health centers have had a good reputation for providing quality care.
"If some centers are failing to provide a certain level of care, that needs to be corrected," says Fox, who now heads the Florida Public Health Institute.
Macrae points out that some centers do better than the national average in certain areas. For instance, three out of four centers performed significantly better in helping hypertensive patients keep their blood pressure under control, and more than four in 10 do significantly better in making sure women get timely prenatal care.
The centers face greater challenges than the average doctor's office because their patients are nearly six times as likely to be poor, more than twice as likely to be uninsured and nearly three times as likely to be on Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for the poor.
Those that treat large numbers of migrant workers and the homeless also tend to have worse outcomes because their patients face more challenges, Macrae said.
The centers have been required to report data to the federal government since 2008 on six performance measures, including how well they care for their patients with diabetes and high blood pressure, screening rates for cervical cancer, vaccination rates for children, provision of timely prenatal care and rates of low birth-weight babies.
"We are asking for more transparency to help drive better performance," Macrae says.
Georgia was the only state to rank near the bottom on four of the six performance measures the federal government collects from clinics. Four other states — Louisiana, Virginia, Kansas and Kentucky — ranked near the bottom for three measures.
Zeldin says she's not surprised that patients at Georgia's 27 health centers fare worse, given the state's high levels of obesity and diabetes.
But there were bright spots, even in Georgia: Albany Area Primary Health Care, a center with 11 clinic sites in southern Georgia, keeps more than 80% of its diabetics' blood sugar under control.
Elizabeth Rayes, 38, of Warner Robins, Ga., credits a nurse at the center for counseling her on how to control her diabetes even though she can't afford a blood glucose meter to test herself. "They do a great job," she says.
