The Republican and Democratic party conventions held in July both staged a virtual political reality well removed from what is happening in America's communities. The Democrats produced a carefully choreographed appearance of unity that masked deep divisions between its establishment and Sanders-inspired delegates. The Trump-dominated Republican convention appealed to profound dissatisfaction with the country's prospects, but stoked the demonization of immigrants to protect the billionaires who are actually responsible for outsourcing jobs.
Meanwhile, state legitimacy is dissolving because of unconstrained shootings of non-white Americans by trigger-happy police.
Clinton's acceptance speech showed clear signs of the influence of Sanders' campaign, denouncing factory closings, economic inequality, Wall Street vs. Main Street, and money in politics; but while her speechwriters are attuned to the outcome of the primaries, they are insensitive to the disenchantment of many Americans with the political establishment. For these people, contrary to her message, America is not great. There is a pervasive anti-establishment populist movement in society based on a decline in middle-class jobs and living standards – above all, on a perception that there is no prospect of a better future – that has produced a fundamental shift in the relation between the political elite and the public.
This has created a dangerous desire for a powerful leader who will fix everything. The Associated Press reported: "After a recent Trump rally in West Virginia, countless news articles and academics dismissed Trump's pledge to bring back coal as impossible, tied to market forces and geology. Chuck Keeney, a professor of political science and history at Southern Community College in Logan, often hears his students dismiss the criticism as the establishment, the very machine that ignored them for so long, beating up on Trump now, too. 'What they see in their minds is the elite that looks down on them, mocks them, makes fun of them, thinks they're stupid,' Keeney said. 'They see all those establishment groups ganging up on Donald Trump and that makes them root for him more'."
Trump has leveraged the reaction against globalization and the rejection of political authority to take over the Republican party. Although his convention speeches were politically chaotic, they nevertheless succeeded in convincing his base that he could be president. Moreover, it articulated the appeal of his authoritarian rhetoric to the security forces and the rightwing NRA – not to mention the KKK.
A star speaker at the Republican convention was an African American police officer who denounced the Black Lives Matter movement. Milwaukee county sheriff David A. Clarke told the delegates: "What we witnessed in Ferguson and Baltimore and Baton Rouge was a collapse of the social order. So many of the actions of the Occupy movement and Black Lives Matter transcend peaceful protest and violate the code of conduct we rely on. I call it anarchy."
This is the true danger of Trumpism – its affinity with the authoritarianism of repressive state agencies built up under Bush and Obama. Max Blumenthal commented: "Clarke opened with what was perhaps the most successful applause line of the evening: 'Ladies and gentleman, I would like to make one thing very clear: Blue lives matter in America!' … Invoked on the national stage by culture war icons like Sheriff Clarke, Blue Lives Matter has become an integral component of the Republican base. It is not only a catch-all for opposition to Black Lives Matter and virtually any effort to spur police reform, but also a brand that conveys the racial backlash sensibility cultivated by the Trump campaign."
The Democrats began their convention with party organizers maneuvering to contain dissent from Sanders' supporters, and ended with Obama and Hillary Clinton staking out the Republican territory of American exceptionalism to deliver a message of patriotic optimism. Their election strategy appears to be one of winning over moderate Republican voters disenchanted with Trump and to pivot away from the concessions made to Sanders' representatives on the platform committee.
"America is already great. America is already strong," insisted Obama in his convention speech. According to the New York Times, "Democrats sought to seize on the traditional core of Republican campaign messaging: America as a place of virtue, optimism and exceptionalism. … Democrats celebrated the country's diversity, with Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, the vice-presidential nominee, ladling on the Spanish." It's a welcome sign of the times – but, as Greg Grandin points out, while Kaine speaks Spanish to market the presidential candidate, he still supports "the policies of free trade and militarization that produced the poverty, the violence, and the immigration [from] Central America." The party's leaders are simply blind to the contradiction between their professed aims of social justice and their close connections to corporate financial interests.
Alternet reported that "for most of the 1,900 Sanders delegates in Philadelphia, the convention was a turbulent and trying affair. It began with DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz being forced to resign a day before it opened, after WikiLeaks posted emails of aides plotting against Sanders, but then she was rewarded with a top appointment to the Clinton campaign. That didn't just affirm their suspicions about DNC bias, but it more ominously signaled that the party and Clinton campaign didn't care about them." Luis Eric Aguilar, a delegate from Illinois, told Democracy Now: "The theme of the DNC was to unify the party, but the delegates for Hillary get there early, reserve seats in the front rows so it shows good to the media, and then they push us to the back. … They tried taking away these signs, the 'No TPP' signs. All the homemade signs were taken away from us. But that is taking away our freedom of speech."
By day four of the convention, Sanders' supporters were arguing passionately about what to do next. They had expected to have more of an opportunity to express their critique of Clinton, but found themselves being shut down. Melissa Michelson, a member of Sanders' California delegation, told Alternet: "We kind of understand where Sanders is going. We understand that he doesn't want Donald Trump to win. However, he also told us that the political revolution is about us, not him… A lot of us are going to start getting involved in local politics. … We're still skeptical how things will work out with this new relationship, you know [with Sanders endorsing and planning to campaign against Trump]. I will not vote for Hillary Clinton and I will not vote for Donald Trump either."
A different view was expressed by a Texas delegate, Fawaz S. Anwar. He said: "I'm scared that Trump's going to win now. And now that Clinton is sagging behind Trump, the most misogynistic, sexist, sexist, racist person that the Republicans have ever nominated, Clinton is slipping up. I just—I don't know how else to say it. But our democracy is in danger if Trump becomes president. I'm in agreement with Bernie. I'm going to vote for Clinton if she's the nominee."
Now that Sanders activists have reached the limits of the Democratic nomination campaign, they face a decision about the presidential election. In a discussion between Robert Reich and Chris Hedges hosted by Democracy Now, Reich said he saw no alternative to supporting Clinton because under a Trump presidency there would be negative changes that would irrevocably worsen the structure of the country, including appointments to the Supreme Court. He suggested that it was still possible to build "a multiracial, multiethnic coalition of the bottom 90 percent that is ready to fight to get big money out of politics, for more equality, for a system that is not rigged against average working people, where there are not going to be all of these redistributions upward from those of us who have paychecks" in order to take back democracy.
Hedges, advocating a vote for Green party candidate Jill Stein, responded that corporate power has already seized all the levers of control and the Democratic party was identical to the Republicans in this respect. "We've got to break away from political personalities and understand and examine and critique the structures of power," he said. Obama "has been as obsequious to Wall Street as the Bush administration. … I don't think it makes any difference. The TPP is going to go through, whether it's Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Endless war is going to be continued, whether it's Trump or Clinton."
However, the majority of Americans are not going to abstain in this election, nor vote for a third party. For African and Latino Americans this is not an academic debate. They will vote overwhelmingly for Clinton because a Trump presidency is literally life-threatening for them. It would give the police carte blanche to gun down minorities without cause and Trump the power to use state force to suppress political opposition. White liberals have the luxury of potentially abstaining or voting for a third party, but this implies walking away from a long-term fight within the ranks of the Democratic party, and within the communities outside it, in order to change its leadership. It means giving up the struggle before it has begun. The left cannot use its criticisms of Clinton to avoid going through the experience of voting down Trump with the rest of America.

Fiery Fairfax Crash Hospitalizes Two
Rush hour can be a stressful time. With cars and trucks alike speeding along, trying to beat traffic, it can be one of the most dangerous times of the day. Though the cause of the crash has not yet been released, one collision this week may have been impacted by the high volume of traffic in the area.
Firefighters and first responders were on the scene of a tractor trailer accident early Thursday morning. The incident occurred just before 6:00 AM the morning of February 23, 2017. An SUV and a tractor trailer collided on Lee Highway (Route 29) and Juniper street in Fairfax. The truck, carrying lumber, caught fire, which quickly spread to the SUV.
Thankfully, both drivers were lucky to escape alive. They were transported to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries. Because the investigation into this crash is ongoing, not much information has yet been released.
While it's not clear what caused this crash, it's easy to understand how fire spread from vehicle to vehicle. With lumber the only material between the two engines, it's incredible more damage wasn't done.
The accident reportedly caused major traffic jams and backups in this very busy area of Fairfax, Virginia. There's a chance traffic is a contributing factor to this incident. Even a minor fender bender can turn life-threatening when large tractor trailers are involved. Given the wide variety of cargo these trucks tend to carry – including highly flammable liquids – there's the potential for real danger.
As the investigation continues, we'll be keeping an eye out for details – and rooting for a full, speedy recovery for the victims, too. We encourage anyone injured in a car accident like this one to reach out for a free, no-risk consultation from our firm. Talking with an experienced, knowledgeable Virginia truck accident lawyer can help clarify your legal rights and put you on the path to recovery.

Serpe, P.C. conducts immediate investigations to identify crucial witnesses and preserve important evidence.

So, besides being a sucker for packaging I'm also a sucker for anything that smells good enough to eat. I mean my fave scents are cinnamon, cherry, blueberry, melon and…um, petrol, after all, Okay, so let's just overlook the last smell. Basically anything that smells like a baked good or slightly fruity is usually right up there on my favourites list. I was aimlessly wondering through the aisles of Dis-Chem the other day, you know as one does. Other people do do that, right? After eyeing the shelves for anything new I stumbled across a few body creams that I've never seen before. Have any of you tried Fennel cosmetics? I think the brand originates from Poland but I might be wrong. Anyway, I'm one of those people that like to sniff the product before purchasing it, so I was a tad bit disappointed when these body yoghurt's (cool name, hey?) had a stubborn layer of foil between me and yummy scent discovery. After checking out a few I did however discover one with a hole in. Boom! These smell EXACTLY like what they are described as. Four words for you – good enough to eat!
After my sister and I basically demolished the poor shelf looking for the best 'flavours' we settled on "Strawberry Ice-Cream", which my sister describes as a Yogi Sip in body lotion form, and "Ginger Bread", which pretty much sums up every scent I've ever loved. This was a difficult decision that needed to be taken very seriously. I mean with yummy options like Chocolate Chip Cookie, Coconut Cream Pie, Coco Lime and even Carrot, how is a girl supposed to choose? I am a Libran after all. When I got home and opened one up I discovered the reason behind the maddening foil wrapping. These body yoghurt's have a creamy appearance, with a very light, sloppy consistency. It's like no other body lotion I've used before. It's almost like the texture of a pudding. This might not suit everyone, but it doesn't really bother me as they still absorb quickly and a little bit goes a very long way. The non-sticky formula melts into your skin and leaves your skin soft and smelling just like the name of the product suggests. This might be better suited for Summer time as they're quite moisturising but might not be rich enough for very dry skin.
I love how authentic the scents are and the best part is the price. These sell for only R30 at Dis-Chem and if you're a fan of the strawberry range at The Body Shop then the Strawberry Ice Cream flavour is a pretty decent dupe scent-wise. I haven't seen the Pumpkin Pie scent on the shelves, but I did see it on the Internet so if you happen to spot it at your local Dis-Chem then immediately pop that into your trolley, ring it up, box it and post it to me that same day. Hehe. That's like my ultimate scent right there. Yummmmy! Now please excuse me while I go find something sweet to eat as all this talk has made me very hungry for cake. 😉

NOW AVAILABLE: 500 Hostels in Australia, New Zealand, & Pacific Islands
If you like hostels, then you're going to love Australia and New Zealand, for here is the greatest concentration of backpackers' hostels in the world, on both coasts and everywhere in between. These are some of the nicest people and the nicest landscapes in the world, too, something of a cross between America and Europe, and maybe the best of both, loads of spectacular nature and some of the most refined cities, ranging in latitudes and altitudes from tropical to Antarctic, from beaches and nightclubs to glaciers and fireplaces. The attitudes are almost universally warm.
The Pacific Islands are something else entirely, of course, and one of the most unique areas of the world, all tropical, true, but there the similarity ends, because there is a diversity that runs the gamut from the modern mega-cities of Jakarta and Manila to the remote outback tribalism of Borneo and Papua New Guinea. There are surprises, too, like thousands of islands, and thousands of miles of beach, but few cruise ships; like a third of the surface area of the planet, but few people. For, outside of heavily populated Indonesia and the Philippines, remote sparely-populated islands define the landscape. But there are hostels. Fiji has a beach hostel scene to rival Greece, and even the remote archipelagos of Tonga and Samoa, Vanuatu and Timor are represented, also. And they're good ones, too. C U in Nadi, or Apia, or Dunedin, or Sydney, or… you decide.

Well I hate to add something to a post when I think it's "done" but I forgot something pretty significant! The doctor told me that I need to kick the marijuana habit!!!!!!!!!! Oh Lordy-Jeezy this is gonna be a hard one. The reason is, he says the Wellbutrin is a big honkin' dose of depression for me, and then he said adding the marijuana, which is so much more powerful than it used to be, especially here in Colorado where it's legal and they've refined it and got it down to a science, is like adding a second dose of depression to my brain. FUCK!!! I have been using the Sativa strains (Sativa=speed, revs you up) to help with my ADD symptoms during the day with mixed results, but sometimes it really helps with my focus and I can totally kick ass. I also use Sativa when I exercise and walk for miles & miles. At other times it just spaces me the fuck out. At night I use Indica (knocks you the fuck out, what you usually think of a stoner, sinking into the couch) as a kind of reward for getting through the day and it helps me sleep. I know at this point it's really no different than being an alcoholic and drinking yourself into oblivion, I am stoning into oblivion, except there's no hangover. This is going to be really, really hard to kick. Oh fucking twelve-step programs, I don't want you!!!!!!!!!!! I might need one. Fuck!!!!! Yes people I tell you all truth. Ok I'm off to start my day and mull this over. Peach out, homies!
12 thoughts on "Psychiatry Appointment #3 – Postscript"
Just cut down on the marijuana first gradually, as it messed me up when I went cold turkey!
Ah thank you. Did you go completely off the Mary? I like to call it Mary. Mary has been such a good friend to me (sob).
Yeah completely! I've tried to smoke it since for a one off and I can't enjoy the feeling of being stoned anymore, I do miss it I must admit
Wow thanks for letting me know! I am keeping an open mind to being mary-free even though it's freaking me out a bit…
It's hard to do, but better to cut down on it and then get off it so that you don't need it on a regular basis– the psychoactive drugs don't mix well, and there's a condition called tardive dyskinesia that's a result of drugs/alcohol + psychopharm meds that is UGLY and horrible to have to suffer through. Fingers crossed for you.
Oh dear, off to google tardive dyskinesia, boohoo I'm scared now.
Let us know how you get one with this new challenge. I have never been able to use marijuana or drink alcohol with successful outcomes. I am the stereotypical one sniff of a bottle cap and I am anyones. I go manic after that initial drink,and I can be found on hands and knees picking fluff off someones carpet at a party …not a good look. Marijuana I tried once and I tried to jump out of a moving car.That was a good reason to never try it again for me. I can imagine how hard it is going to be for you right now. for me it would be like saying you can't have your daily chocolate fix.
Yeah I really like my Mary. It helps me with pain and it is a cure-all for feelings. i just keep hoping that if I'm less depressed, that I'll be less inclined to use it. Hey. I can hope, right?
Absolutely you can.Hope is all we have to go on,right?!
My meds have my hair falling out and all..my moods are a daily roller coaster but I have to keep hoping something will work one day…good luck with mary:)
thank you
Yeah, I've had a couple docs tell me that. I even went dry for quite awhile. All it did was promote insomnia. Getting mood swings under better control with Rx's helped so I didn't feel like I needed Mary to get by.
But I'm a bad example and will continue to be. My current doc, therapist, and I all agree that it's not a problem so long as I'm not self-medicating myself into a stupor. For me, smoking a little marijuana seems to be better than additional prescriptions for anxiety and insomnia and severe pain. Effective, fewer/lower intensity side effects than Rx's, makes it easier to avoid alcohol, etc.
There are basically no scientific studies (at least that I have ever been able to find) that have any findings of merit on the topic of marijuana as a mood stabilizer or how marijuana interacts with bipolar or how marijuana interacts with any prescription medication or pretty much anything related. Given the lack of solid scientific findings, I'm going with my evidence-based approach for now. 😉
I like your response very much. The only thing is, I usually go until I'm in a stupor 🙂

Today, January 14, 2015, we had a great phone call with USAT. We outlined our current efforts and are seeking out ways to try to work with USAT and organizations like member league like the Mid-West Collegiate Taekwondo Conference and the Mid-Atlantic Taekwondo Conference, and organizations like NCTA if they are willing.
This call left everyone agreeing on a common theme: The advancement of Taekwondo is what is important.
A reminder we will have an open call tomorrow, January 15th at 2pm Eastern for anyone interested.

If your Internet connection isn't working or you've mucked around with your modem settings, you might be wondering if hitting the modem reset button will solve your problems. Maybe you're wondering what happens if you simply unplug your modem. Before you do anything, read on.
The reset button is on the back of your modem. It's probably red and labeled RESET. Since it's not meant to be used often, it's recessed to prevent it from being accidentally pressed. You will need to use the tip of a pen or the end of a paperclip to reach it. You will likely feel a slight click when you press it.
You use the reset button to restore your modem to its factory default settings (which also erases any customized settings you may have programmed into it).
Resetting your modem can fix gaming troubles, routing errors, "can't get on the Internet" problems, slow connection speeds, choppy VOIP, port issues, wireless issues and device conflicts.
Tip: If you're trying to connect a wireless device to your network, look for a sticker on the bottom or side of your modem. The sticker will have the modem's factory default settings. If you changed your credentials to something you were sure you'd remember later (but now are drawing a blank on), perform a factory RESET (as described above), and your network credentials will be reset to match what you see on the modem sticker.
"Power cycle" is just a fancy way of saying, "turn your modem ON/OFF." If you search the Internet, you'll see this term used frequently.
To RESTART (reboot) your modem:
Restarting your modem can fix Internet connection problems, improve slow moving connections and resolve wireless issues.

Toto's "Africa" is one of my favorite songs, and it turns out that the song lends itself quite easily to a queer reading. See if you can spot what I mean in the lyrics (or read the lyrics here):
I have always loved this song, but listening to it now, I realize that it actually seems to make more sense if it is about a bisexual man reassuring his insecure girlfriend:
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
Those are some quotes of the lyrics from the chorus. The first verse is merely about a man waiting for his girlfriend to arrive in Africa (though it does sound like an excuse, for why he stopped the old man). But the entire second verse seems to support my theory.
The wild dogs cry out in the night, as they grow restless longing for some solitary company.
I always took "solitary company" to mean that the restless dogs wished to pair off and mate. "Solitary" and "company" aren't usually put together. The singer certainly has the topic of sexuality on his mind.
I know that I must do what's right, sure as Kilimanjaro rises like a leopress* above the Serengeti.
*(I thought it was "like a leopress," a female leopard, but according to the websites I've seen, it's "like Olympus." My mom, who remembers the eighties like it was yesterday, swears that she saw the lyrics in a magazine, and the word "leopress" was plainly visible. My word processor does not recognize "leopress" as a word, but we have the word "tigress," so why wouldn't we have "leopress" too?
It even sounds like "leopress," in the original music video. I suppose both of them work, though I prefer my version. Then again, the Olympic gods were notorious bisexuals--do a quick search about Zeus and Ganymede, if you don't believe me.)
It is not uncommon for LGBT to have a crises of conscience upon discovery of their sexual or gender identities. Especially if they were raised to believe that what they are is wrong. It's not clear what "do what's right" means here--simply not cheating on his girlfriend with a man, honorably breaking up with her before exploring his gay side, reassuring her that she will not lose him, or even--
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
Oh wow. That got dark quickly. I guess he thinks conversion therapy will work for him. If he needs it, he's probably more than bisexual. And it usually doesn't work in the long run.
So is there any evidence in the music video that is about bisexuality? Unfortunately, I didn't find bisexuality. I found racism.
The video is...problematic, for in a song praising Africa for its inspiring and cleansing effects, the singer's black love interest is killed by a savage native. (What else could her glasses falling to the ground symbolize?) And she is most definitely the love interest, for in the romantic song mentioning "she" so very much, this actress is literally the only woman. Books and a kerosene lamp topple because of the attack, and the singer's life and love, and all symbols of such things, go up in flames.
The "good" African, the black woman, has been westernized, and is sitting at a desk, writing something in the white man's study. (Is she his secretary, taking care of his correspondences for him while he loafs with his books?) But the "civilized" African is killed--defeated--by her violent, untamed counterpart. There is apparently no room in an African's life for both peace and education on the one hand, and traditional tribal garb and way of life on the other. Why not have both, in the same individual? People are capable of both.
So is there any evidence, other than the lyrics, that they wrote this song with the experience of bisexuality in mind? None that I could find.
"Africa" is credited to band members David Paich and the late Jeff Porcaro. And while Paich has an...interesting...history on LGBT matters, there is nothing on Porcaro (except his very sudden and mysterious death at age 38).
In 2003, the band announced that Paich would be undergoing a gender reassignment surgery. Turns out that was a joke--and a bad one. When I saw the announcement while doing research for this article, my suspicions were raised when fellow member Steve Lukather referred to Paich as "he" throughout. If Paich was really a transgender woman, would Paich not have asked to be referred to as "she"? And if they were as supportive as they seemed to be, wouldn't they respect her wishes?
There was also Paich's name on a list of musicians on the site Drowned In Sound, from a poster claiming to be a closeted gay man. The list appears to be of musicians that he believes are LGBT. The list was posted in December of 2008, and it is unclear whether the poster believes Paich is gay, bisexual, transgender, or something else.
There was no other evidence that I could find.
And I could find nothing about Porcaro. But again, his death seems suspiciously young, and band members claim that he was not a drug addict, only an occasional user, so that it probably did not contribute to it. I don't think he would be killed for being bisexual per se, but then again there are some people out there who would take a life because the victim was queer. Perhaps there are some of those people in high places.
And the band does claim that the song was literally about working too hard. That this "thing" the man had become was a machine, an automaton. That could very well be, but a lot of people work too hard, and they don't usually get scared that they are monsters because of it. That seems like a very lame excuse, and a queer reading makes much more sense to me.
However it was originally intended, it makes more sense if it was actually not just about a straight romance or a white person "finding himself" (the writers had never been to Africa at the time they wrote it).
All in all, we may never know for certain what the character of the song wished to "cure" deep inside him, and what thing he had become. But what other thing is treated like this not only in the West, but in many African nations? We do not even treat mental illness like it's both a curable disease, and that it makes people into monsters (or at least, most people should know better). Where else does talk of sexuality, and the words "do what's right," "cure," "deep inside," and "become" fit perfectly together? (Though one doesn't "become" gay that we know of, some people believe that others do.)
I love this song, but it is a very dark song. A man goes to Africa, away from his girlfriend, and has a bisexual awakening, then decides to try conversion therapy, "frightened of this thing that (he's) become."

7 Signs That Something Is Missing From Your Diet
by: Marina Wildt
It shouldn't come as any surprise to you that the food you eat directly affects your health. You may be aware of how certain nutrients can help you. But do you know the signs your body shows you when it's not getting enough in the first place? Keep an eye out for the following physical signs:
Dry Eyes
There is always the possibility that your dry eyes are due to allergies or from wearing your contact lenses for too long. But if these two options don't seem likely. You may want to check that you are getting enough essential fatty acid Omega 3 in your diet, which are essential for healthy eyesight.
You can get high sources of Omega 3 from fish, whole grains, nuts and seeds.
Regular Nosebleeds
Unless you have the flu, and are blowing your nose incessantly there is really very little reason to have regular nosebleeds. Therefore it should be taken seriously if you do. In this case, it's very possible that you may have a Vitamin K deficiency which is essential for blood clotting.
If you think this is the problem, up your intake of leafy greens that are high in Vitamin K, such as spinach and kale. Otherwise, best to go and see a doctor to have your nosebleeds checked out.
Hair Loss
As you age, gradual hair loss could just be draw of the genetic luck. However, certain loss of hair could also be a sign that you are not getting enough iron. This is especially likely for women under 50.
In this case, it's time to increase your lean protein intake and possibly snack on some nuts and seeds in between.
Bleeding And Sore Gums
Bleeding and sore gums is one of the most common signs of gum disease. However if that is not the diagnosis, you could be lacking a serious amount of Vitamin C from your diet.
Make sure to get enough leafy greens, citrus fruits and berries through your diet. If this is still not enough, you may need to use a Vitamin C supplement…..

Many judge the worth of a college diploma utilizing measures such as graduates' employment and starting salaries. The main final result focus is on offering related learning for young (usually traumatized) youngsters (underneath eight years of age) who reside within the dense, tent camps with out access to education because of the destruction of their colleges and/or lack of money. They keep for a couple of years, advancing their portfolio with a signature venture that then launches them into a higher orbit and plunges the college into a downward spiral of accumulating debt. These cuts are of concern to all of us working within the fields of feminism and gender studies, across UK greater schooling institutions.
The practices used in schooling have changed a lot from generation to era that the technology earlier than this generation would be arduous pressed to keep up with the practices this generation uses immediately. The general greater education and coaching that takes place in a university , school , or Institute of Technology normally contains significant theoretical and abstract parts, in addition to utilized aspects (though limited offerings of internships or SURF programs try to supply practical purposes). Dumbing down schooling to create a degree playing area has been an enormous problem in academic thinking for some time.
The Governor has a somewhat completely different model for CSU, compared to UC, as his CSU widget principle of upper education focuses extra on four yr graduation rates. When the Black lady has more education than the person the relationship, the wedding was extra more likely to end in divorce. Much of the US research that is influencing coverage discussions facilities around providing access to postsecondary schooling and students aside of traditionally marginalized groups. Education usually exposes one to totally different horizons, methods of considering, opportunities and social circles. Education is a public good, part of the commons, not a business, nor a job-training factory.
Presented at Canadian Society for Study of Education (CSSE) submit-convention, WERA Global Ethics International Research Network Symposium Intellectual Autonomy and Social/Global Accountability in Higher Education in Times of Crises: International Lessons, May 29. In 2013, six million students throughout OECD nations graduated from a better schooling institution with a bachelor's diploma; fifty eight% of them had been ladies.
Freshmen who indicated that education costs have been a 'very important' factor in their faculty selection reached a record excessive of 46% – up almost 15 proportion points since 2004, in accordance with the survey of the nation's first-12 months college students carried out by UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute. Population education subsequently requires emphasizing analysis, starting from collective inquiry and leading to appraisal of points or issues that affect the learners and their social environments. A typical MBA might take two years out of your life and cost you greater than $a hundred and fifty,000 in tuition and alternative cost.

Expert sales and marketers project a 3D vision of their customers' world to their customers. They show a world that is all about those customers, seen through their customers' eyes, depicting their ideal, sometimes aspirational, position.
Then they demonstrate how that recognised and desired world is achieved by using the product or service that's being pitched.
That's really the hardest bit: knowing the target customer well enough to convince them to buy what you're offering, in preference to anything else. And if you can do that really well, you'll get them coming back of course.
And it's the coming back, because they're satisfied (if not delighted), first time around, that's really the nirvana position, right?
If you really want to succeed by generating customer loyalty and securing repeat custom, the linked article by the First Round Review team is an 'invest the time in' read. The story of the excitedly anticipated toy car and what happened to spoil that experience for the small boy who was to become a hugely influential Amazon c-suite exec (Kintan Brahmbhatt), is striking and thought-provoking.
It's also not just a story. It's a user-friendly guide to how to avoid the mistakes that the toy car makers made and how to lever instead the learnings from that episode, just as Amazon has grown increasingly masterful at doing. The examination of the 'friction' elements that get in the way of customers, both before and after a sale is made, and that risk displacing all-important customer loyalty, is instructive.
As First Round point out, friction can manifest itself in a number of different ways, such as creating an experience where customers simply can't relate to the product or service on offer and therefore don't appreciate a need for it; or not knowing how to use it because the operation of it isn't intuitive; or needing to jump through too many hoops before you can properly enjoy its benefits - a classic set-up frustration.
We live in a plug and play society. Anything that is not instinctive and feels like hard work and/or time-consuming, particularly when there is an alternative, is likely to get little attention from most of us.
The linked article explores Kintan Brahmbhatt's well-tested techniques to identify and mitigate experience-damaging frictions. It's excellent advice.
Interestingly, he also advises that a little friction, at the right time and place, can actually create user loyalty, if properly managed. He tells you how to get this right too.
All great food for thought. Because when, as consumers, we evaluate a product or service, it's typically the whole experience that we instinctively rate when someone asks us: 'so what did you think?' What sticks first in mind is always what didn't work or frustrated or annoyed us. And that first recollection is the opportunity for someone else to entice our custom away.
In this exclusive interview, Brahmbhatt takes us through how to detect and anticipate points of friction through monitoring steps in a customer's journey with your product. He shares the three stages of the product experience where customers are most vulnerable to experiencing friction. Brahmbhatt also walks through strategies to reduce friction, or, if it's unavoidable, how to mask it.

One would think that faster processor speeds would make applications run faster and provide a snappier responsive user experience. Reality is of course different and more complex than this. We live in a world of fast application development where code is written in convenient object-oriented languages which run using platform independent byte code; for example, Java, JavaScript, Python, Mono to name but a few. While this is the accepted norm for application development, it's also true in different domains. For example, QEMU does a kind of just-in-time instruction translation and essentially this is a very specialised interpreter, be it machine object code.
More interesting is that Intel PC BIOSs contain AML byte code - this code is in the ACPI DSTD and is interpreted by the Linux ACPI AML interpreter. So even the Linux kernel contains an interpreter to run BIOS ACPI code. But this interpretation of byte code code goes even further in the low-level system side. Soon we will see newer PCs will moving away from the traditional BIOS boot mechanism and using Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). The boot mechanism allows EFI bootloaders to be compiled into an EFI byte code image using a PE/COFF (Portable Extensible Common Object File Format) executable header. So even the system bootstrapping can run intepreted byte code.
We have a zoo of many flavours of byte code; much effort is put into making them run efficiently on different processors. Some may argue that code is nearly as fast as native code, and the gain from portability and flexibility is a price worth paying at the cost of a slower execution.
Whatever the argument, I do wonder how much longer my laptop battery would last of my CPU was executing compiled native code instead of churning away interpreting different forms of byte code. I'm very curious to find out what percentage of CPU cycles are used in running native code and in running intpreted code, and how this will look in 10 years time.... you never know, perhaps by 2020 large chunks of the kernel will be interpreted(!)

1) The look of trepidation on the faces of Manchester United supporters
These are exciting times to be a Liverpool supporter. Set fair to nab the place in the Champions League that was always likely to be up for grabs with so many managerial changes in the Premier League's ascendancy, this is only the second time the Merseyside club have travelled to Old Trafford in a more exalted top-flight position than their bitter rivals since 1991. Manchester United supporters will be painfully aware that if ever there was an excellent window available for Brendan Rodgers' side to give their team a good shoeing when they're on the floor in their own home, then lunchtime on Sunday is almost certainly it.
Having visibly aged since the season began, it's difficult to imagine David Moyes is approaching this encounter with anything resembling relish, not least when tasked with the prospect of having to overturn a two-goal Champions League deficit against Olympiakos in front of a potentially seething home crowd just a few days later. The Manchester United manager was rightly ridiculed for accusing the Premier League fixture generator of conspiring against him before a ball had been kicked in this campaign, but with this double-whammy of potential home horror-shows, it's difficult not to feel a smidgeon of sympathy for him now. BG

• Steven Gerrard and the 'top, top' chop
2) Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Arsenal fans had that familiar sinking feeling on Tuesday night. Not only had they stumbled out at the Champions League in the last 16 again, there was also the sight of another of their attacking midfielders miserably sitting on the bench – Mesut Özil withdrawn with a hamstring injury. He joins Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Abou Diaby (remember him) and Kim Kallstrom in the treatment room. Three of those would expect to be in Arsenal's starting lineup, and if Diaby were ever fit he'd have a good claim too. Kallstrom, the sole January signing, may finally be fit for a place on the bench. Likewise, Tottenham have an injury crisis revolving around one area of the pitch – with Michael Dawson and Vlad Chiriches out, and Etienne Capoue also unavailable to cover. Dawson may get some stick – his lack of pace easily exposed under the high line that André Villas-Boas employed – but only one fit centre-back will leave Tottenham sorely exposed against an Arsenal in need of a win as their daunting run of fixtures continues. They will be reliant on their only remaining fit midfielders – Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Flamini, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Santi Cazorla and Tomas Rosicky. Not a bad bunch to be sure, but there's little room for error. Should Arsène Wenger feel the need to reshuffle, or another injury were to strike, there's very little on the bench that you'd want to throw in to the bear pit of White Hart Lane. All those cursing Özil in recent weeks may just come to realise what they're missing. Toby Moses
• Kim Kallstrom close to Arsenal debut
• Younès Kaboul can face Arsenal after red card rescinded
• Nicklas Bendtner 'dropped his pants and rubbed himself on my taxi'
3) Lots of empty seats at Celtic Park
Away from the Premier League, where quite a few of this weekend's fixtures provide little to get the juices flowing, the Scottish League Cup final will be played on Sunday afternoon and promises to be quite an occasion as 40,000 Aberdeen fans converge on Celtic Park to watch their team take on Inverness Caledonian Thistle. A comparatively new club, Caley will be considerably less well represented in the stands, having been formed on the back of a merger between bitter Highland rivals Inverness Thistle and Caledonian Thistle just two decades ago. It was a coming-together that angered stalwarts of both clubs, many of whom withdrew their support.
Caley's fans have bought up just 7,000 of their allocation for Sunday's final, which leaves over 13,000 seats at Celtic HQ unsold. Despite vociferous demand from Aberdeen for more tickets to be released, panjandrums in the Scottish Professional Football League and the local police force have declined to oblige the club's supporters. "In the current climate of Scottish football it's disappointing we can't cater for fans desperate to come to a game and see their team play," said Aberdeen's manager, Derek McInnes, this week. In the current climate of Scottish football, which seems to be riven with infighting, alleged media conspiracies and self-serving governance, it's certainly disappointing, but no great shock. BG
4) A dearth of goals at the Stadium of Light
Second from bottom of the table Sunderland are joint lowest Premier League goalscorers at home, with 13 goals. Three places and as many points above them in the table, but having played two games more, Crystal Palace are the lowest Premier League scorers away from home, with six goals. In a match that both sides will be as desperate not to lose as they are to win, you'd think the chances of a glut of goals are extremely slender. The best available odds of 11-8 against there being more than two seem extremely stingy and almost certainly worth avoiding, even if both teams end up bucking all the prevailing trends and delivering a seven-goal thriller. Barry Glendenning
5) Another defeat for Cardiff
If some of the teams in the bottom half of the Premier League were racehorses running at the Cheltenham Festival this week, you'd expect course officials to erect the green screens and throw a blanket over them before summoning the vet to do the decent thing and put them out of their misery. If Cardiff do manage to avoid this metaphorical fate, one gets the feeling it will be because of the disastrous shortcomings of three teams worse than them, rather than any mongrel spirit they can call upon in a bid to extricate themselves from the relegation mire. After Everton away on Saturday and Liverpool at home a week later, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side look to have a run of eminently winnable matches leading up to their season finale at home to Chelsea. On paper, matches against teams such as West Brom (a), Crystal Palace (h), Southampton (a), Stoke (h), Sunderland (a) and Newcastle (a) don't look especially daunting, but it is on grass such contests are fought and on such a surface under Solskjaer they have quite consistently been found wanting. BG
6) Adventurous Norwich. Or not …
Norwich's 2-0 defeat at West Ham last month was unforgivable. They outplayed West Ham for long periods, comfortable in defence and occasionally inspired in attack, and were denied four times by excellent saves by Adrián. But then Chris Hughton settled for a point. He took off Gary Hooper after 76 minutes and Nathan Redmond after 81 minutes; they had been the best players on the pitch. Removing them handed the initiative to West Ham, who had been atrocious, and Norwich promptly conceded two scrappy goals in the final six minutes.
It was a defeat that summed up Hughton's tenure. His natural caution has made him deeply unpopular with Norwich's fans, who would be glad to see the back of him even if their side stays up. Yet with Norwich four points above the bottom three and facing an arduous run-in, now would be a good time for Hughton to embrace a more adventurous approach. A trip to Southampton is not easy but Mauricio Pochettino's side have only won once at home since November and have little to play for now that they are safe in mid-table. There is no excuse for Norwich not to exploit the situation and attack. They have the players to score goals, if only they were let off the leash. Jacob Steinberg
• Chris Hughton: I'm not going anywhere – video
• Southampton appoint ice hockey coach Ralph Krueger as chairman
7) Can Mitroglou save Fulham?
The good news for Fulham is that they are only four points away from West Brom in 17th place. The bad news is that they are bottom, rubbish and time is running out. They have not won in the league since New Year's Day (against a West Ham side without any centre-backs) and while the visit of Newcastle may look like a good opportunity to end their winless run, it is worth remembering that Alan Pardew's side won 4-1 at Hull City in their last match, despite their manager's touchline shenanigans.
Fulham, meanwhile, were busy losing 3-1 at their fellow strugglers, Cardiff City, last weekend. The defeat was notable for Kostas Mitroglou making his first start for the club since his £12m move from Olympiakos, a week after he was left out of the squad for the game against Chelsea, despite not being injured. Felix Magath claimed that he was not ready to play in a team that is fighting for its life, not even off the bench. Fulham, apparently, did not need a player who has scored a Champions League hat-trick this season. A week later, he was in from the start.
The sense of chaos at Fulham means that there is no point predicting whether Mitroglou will keep his place against Newcastle. All the same, and this is probably clutching at straws, he is a finisher and one of the few players who may be capable of dragging them out of this mess. JS
• Alan Pardew: 'I must become a better manager after head-butt ban'
• Felix Magath: The Gallery
8) Manchester City benefiting from Barcelona defeat
With Champions League distractions out of the way, Manchester City have narrowed their focus from an historic quadruple to a Premier League/League Cup double in the space of a week. It may not have been what Manuel Pellegrini wanted – but it will help them in the league. Saturday's visit to the KC will be the last time they have to recover from a European jaunt to face the stylistically different challenge of a hectic English encounter. Their run-in certainly isn't straightforward – trips to Anfield, Old Trafford and the Emirates will determine their Premier League fate – but if they can secure a morale-boosting win against Hull then Pellegrini's side will be well-placed for the tricky fixtures to come. TM

9) Can José Mourinho bring Oscar back to his best?
José Mourinho always likes to make a statement when he arrives at a club, and although his decision to declare war on Juan Mata was somewhat strange, his suggestion that he would build the team around Oscar was more understandable. The Brazilian had taken the Premier League by storm in his first season at Chelsea, scoring some brilliant goals and creating plenty more with his instinctive link-up play, but it is Eden Hazard who has now become indispensable to the side. André Schürrle's recent goalscoring exploits have edged him up the pecking order in Chelsea's attacking triumvirate behind the striker, while Willian's industry, positional nous and dead-ball delivery have made him a Mourinho favourite. The manager also likes to move Ramires to the right to bolster Chelsea's midfield in the big games, so Oscar has increasingly found himself on the fringes. He did score a fine goal in Brazil's rout of South Africa last week but he has not netted for his club since January and with the Premier League race hotting up and the World Cup less than 100 days away, Saturday evening's visit to Aston Villa would be an opportune moment to remind the world of his talents. Rob Bleaney
10) Monk and Mel in meltdown
It's fair to say Pepe Mel's arrival at West Brom has not had the impact the club's owners wished, but Swansea City's recent slump under Garry Monk has gone a little more under the radar. The bare facts are that neither side have won any of their last five matches in all competitions and both are in serious relegation danger. Defeat for West Brom would most likely see them drop into the bottom three and pile further pressure on their Spanish manager, but for Monk the effects of a loss would be just as damaging, if a little more subtle. His own position may be far more secure than his counterpart, but surrendering at home to a West Brom side in abject form could do irreparable damage to the confidence of his players, who have become so reliant on Wilfried Bony's goals it is almost embarrassing.

The first day of November felt like summer. After the experiencing Halloween madness the previous night, we along with some friends, decided that a beach day was a must, especially since the day looked very promising.
But it being late autumn, I packed coats, wellies, wooly hats and scarves in the car. It turned out that we didn't need them at all. Widemouth Bay (as you all know is a fave) and was surprisingly packed well not the beach (there's always space enough for everyone), but the parking lot, considering it was the last day of the half-term break.
While waiting to meet up with her best friend F, as always, little T and her dad were lost in the rock rockpools.
Soon little F joined his best friend and they quickly had a small collection of rock pool finds, a small fish, crab and some snails.
One must never forget the rock pooling rule: What one finds, must always return back to the sea:
T and F letting their precious finds back into the water.
And then it was time to run around like loonies.
This was what it was like the first day of November. It certainly felt like summer that day. Today, the 14th is an altogether different story. As I type this, I can see our little village clothed in grey and rain. It is definitely autumn once again.
What's the weather like on your side of the world?
Is it sunny or gloomy like it is here?

In addition to fines, fees, surcharges, loss of driving privileges, and use of an ignition interlock device, people convicted of DWI in New Jersey are required to attend the Intoxicated Driving Program, a series of classes intended to educate and identify drivers at-risk of drug addiction and alcoholism.
How New Jersey's Intoxicated Driving Program Works
The Intoxicated Driving Program (IDP) falls under the oversight of the Division of Addiction Services of the New Jersey Department of Human Services. It works in coordination with the county IDRCs and the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC).
When you are formally notified of your license's suspension, you will owe additional fees to the MVC and the IDRC totaling $200.
How Long Will It Take?
First-time offenders are required to complete a 12-hour course through their local county Intoxicated Driver Resource Center (IDRC). Classes are usually held during daytime hours during the week. On a first offense, it is possible your driving privilege may be restored prior to completing the IDRC classes. However, if you fail to appear, your license may be revoked again.
Second offenders must attend a 48-hour session during detention, and the classes are usually held over a weekend at an overnight facility.
Third-time offenses mandate a 12 – 48 hour IDP detainment, in which you will be assessed and then referred for additional treatment.
Any driver who requires additional programming at the discretion of the IDRC can be ordered into a 16 week program of additional treatment.
What Is The Program Like?
You will be notified when and where to report for your IDRC session. You usually have to attend IDRC classes in the county where you were convicted. The class usually takes place in the town where the county court is located.
During the assigned time, you will complete an educational component, including active discussion periods. The course content includes information about alcoholism and drug addiction, its effects on personal and professional relationships, and legal issues.
During both the 12 and 48 hour courses, you will also meet with a counselor who will assess your situation and identify additional assistance you may need. Depending on the assessment, you may be referred for additional services like counseling, addiction treatment programs or support group attendance, to help you deal with the problems that led to your conviction.
Your participation in recommended services becomes part of your sentence, and your attendance may be monitored. You are responsible for the costs of additional treatment.
What If I Live In Another State?
Even if you do not reside in New Jersey but have been convicted of traffic violations under the influence, you are still responsible for completing the IDRC course, participating in recommended treatment plans and paying the fees.
In some circumstances, arrangements can be made to complete your sentence requirements through your home state.
What If I Don't Go?
If you choose not to appear for the IDRC session, do not complete the prescribed programs or do not pay the necessary fees, you will face additional penalties. The suspension time of your license is likely to be extended, and if the situation is not resolved you could face a 48 hour stint in jail for failure to comply.

The first section done was a section of pattern darning. Since it was open to any form of counted work this was a great idea - the colour looked very bold.

New Neighbours and Squatters
As I mentioned in a previous post, I am just getting used to being home again after working away for five months. Being away that long, you can expect a few changes in the neighbourhood - folks moving in, folks moving out...
Yesterday I met the newest addition - a muskrat! It has been so dry around here most of the ponds have dried up so I guess he is adapting. While I was sitting on my porch I watched him scamper across the front yard. My heart did a little flip because at first he looked like a rat! We don't have rats here in Alberta (long story involving a rat patrol, etc) so thinking you see one is a big deal. I continued to watch him as he scampered around, then across the yard and under the porch.
When my husband got home from work, I told him we had a muskrat under the porch and we both thought that was pretty interesting. Later that evening though we heard enough noise from the cellar to realize it wasn't the porch he was living under, it was the house! So, of course we named him. And now that we know Muskrat Sally is down there we can hear him moving around all evening long, banging against the furnace vents. It remains to be seen how the new tenant works out.

Wonderful Hallowe'en Embroidery Piece!
I received such a treat in the mail last week from my Secret Stitcher! This is an exchange we have on EAC Virtual Threads, the online chapter of The Embroiderers' Association of Canada. It is like a traditional secret sister exchange except, of course, we are all stitchers and that is reflected in the gifts we exchange.
I love Hallowe'en and decorate the house and yard every year even though we get very few trick-or-treaters coming to the door.
Isn't this embroidered bellpull to die for? The front features three cross stitch pieces on a spider web background fabric. The back is pieced with so many wonderful Hallowe'en fabrics - I love it!
The second section is just as spooky - pumpkins, jack-o-lantern, bats and crows!
Then at the bottom of the bell pull this wonderful piece with dancing skeletons, ghosts and more!
I really wish I could take credit for making this but I can't. Huge thank yous going out to my Secret Stitcher! She really outdid herself with this and couldn't have found anything I would like more. I LOVE IT!!

Working on a Carolyn Mitchell design
Well, I am finally settled in at home again after a long summer working at the campground! I have actual been home about a month now and it has taken this long for me to get used to being home again, catching up on some things and getting back to stitching again. It feels very good to be home!
So here is what I'm working on...
So here is what I'm working on...
This is a canvaswork project called "First Snow", designed by Carolyn Mitchell. It is a workshop on Virtual Threads, the online chapter of The Embroiderers' Association of Canada, and the chapter paid for the teaching fees from the proceeds of a little silent auction we had at Seminar in 2014. So, all we members of Virtual Threads needed to do for the workshop was to buy the supplies - who could resist?
Carolyn is teachine this as a mystery project and what you see here is the first of three lessons completed.
I am really enjoying this - canvaswork is so relaxing! I have chosen to do this in silk threads instead of the cotton thread alternative and so far they haven't been giving me any trouble. There will be pearls added to this section at the end so I am looking forward to seeing what that adds to the look of it. On to lesson 2!

I have a brand new hotel review for you all today!
Yes, it's in Florida.
No, it's not at Disney World.
Any guesses?
We're off to LEGOLAND Florida to check into the brand new Legoland Florida Hotel.
It looks like it's built out of Lego, and there's a giant dragon out front.
Plus there are life-size minifigures. And not just any minifigs - that's Johnny Thunder...he's apparently a Lego celebrity from back in the day...
The Legoland Hotel opened this past May 2015 - we actually stayed there just a few days after the Grand Opening!
