Most of us are familiar with fight (1) - or - flight (2) as survival mechanisms. Did you know that other stress responses exist? Freeze (3) (think deer in the headlights) can be a stress response to what our brain and body may perceive as an inescapable threat. It is similar to fainting (4), where we may feel so overwhelmed that our body shuts down as a way of mentally escaping danger. Fawn (5) is an adaptational response where we may engage in behaviors contrary to our personal beliefs to appease perpetrators/any dangerous person in power in an attempt to prolong our survival.
Fight or Flight are responses from our sympathetic nervous system (SNS) that tell us to MOVE! Freeze or Faint are responses from our parasympathetic nervous system (PNS.) The PNS is primarily responsible for calming the release of stress hormones, but in extreme cases of trauma, immobilization and dissociation (freezing and fainting) become dysfunctional responses to real and perceived threats.
This is important to remember, especially because survivors of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence (IPV) are often the targets of victim-blaming. Survivors may be asked why they didn't fight back or run away. "Why didn't you yell for help?" Or "why did you stay in that abusive relationship for so long?" It is crucial to understand that physiologically people's minds and bodies respond differently to help them survive. Even after real and perceived threats are gone, these survival mechanisms may continue for trauma survivors, impairing their mental, emotional and physical well-being as they go about their daily lives. Sometimes small stressful situations are met with the same response as large life-threatening stress. Therapy is one resource that can help survivors differentiate between the two.
Things survivors of abuse need to know: it wasn't your fault, your body did its best to keep you safe, your body is yours and part of the healing is learning to reclaim your body, you don't have to talk about what happened if you're not ready, and it helps to have a safe space where you can feel seen and heard for who you are (and not what happened to you.)
You don't have to heal alone, a trained professional can help, and resources and support networks are available.

Written by Frances Meyer, summer intern
From my first week of working here as an intern, I couldn't help but notice the many frogs hopping along the trails. On Willow trail especially, many would blend in with the grass, occasionally surprising me while I was helping assemble a boardwalk. I have always been fascinated with frogs, and recall various memories of me catching them at my grandparents' cottage as a kid, watching them hop around the lake until it was time to leave. One summer we even raised tadpoles and watched as they underwent a metamorphosis. The specific frog I saw on the trail had a greenish coloring with dark black spots down its back, sides, and legs; all traits that point to the Northern Leopard frog.
The Northern Leopard frog is found in a variety of wetland habitats and lives mostly in northern North America. These spotted amphibians also reside in grasslands, giving them their other common name; the meadow frog.
You might recall that as a child, you were told that frogs eat flies, but in reality, their diets are varied. This frog is an opportunistic feeder, which means it can eat just about anything it can fit into its mouth! It eats a variety of insects such as beetles, ants, and slugs. They have even been known to eat small birds and snakes. As young tadpoles, they begin by only eating algae and rotting plants before growing and developing their varied diets.
Their breeding season runs from late April to early June. Males float on top of the water and call out with a low grunting sound to attract females. Females can lay as many as 5,000 eggs! The eggs laid will typically hatch in about 9 days, and tadpoles undergo a metamorphosis in late July where their tails recede and their arms and legs grow. A group of frogs is called an army, which I thought was a fun fact to think about. These frogs take two years to reach maturity and live an average of four years in the wild.
Since the 1970s, their numbers have slowly been declining, especially in Canada and the Western parts of the United States. Factors responsible for this decline are pollution, deforestation, and water acidity. Agriculture, the draining of swamps, and clear-cutting for land and lumber are destroying the frogs' habitat. Contamination of their habitat from fertilizers,
pesticides, and urban runoff are other factors making it difficult for the survival of this species in some areas.
What can one do to help these spotted amphibians? Fellow frog lovers can start by using environmentally friendly alternatives to household chemicals, and making sure they dispose of chemicals properly versus dumping them down the drain. Using gardening products that are environmentally friendly can help as well, by replacing fertilizers with compost which serves as a more natural fertilizer. This will also help our landfills since 30 percent of household waste is made up of compostable scraps. Using natural pest control methods will cut back on urban runoff and provide families with a chemical-free yard to enjoy too!

Aggressive, joint-breaking and animalistic, Silat – the Indonesian martial art that often uses knives – has made an appearance on the silver screen and, according to some, may have given birth to the greatest martial arts fight scene ever filmed.
Look back to 2011 and the world saw The Raid: Redemption hit the box office. Although gaining mixed reviews due to its simplistic plot, martial arts fans were in awe of the fight scenes that were truly creative and just downright incredible.
The movie has a simple premise: A swat team is sent to a Jakarta slum to oust a crime lord that has been controlling the apartment complex for some time. Previous attempts by the police and other gangs trying to steal territory have all failed and only the swat team (trained in Silat) can overcome the gang and reclaim control. It's a simple good guy bad guy movie and although is a bit predictable in places, the 101-minute movie is pretty much violent from start to finish.
Each scene was better than the last and the fighting just became more and more complex throughout. Check out the machete fight scene for example – although clearly influenced by the Korean movie Oldboy – the protagonist is wielding a machete instead of a hammer as a corridor fight ensues.
The drug lab fight scene is also up there with some of the best in the movie too, with hardcore Silat attacks coming from all sides – and a shit load of neck punches.
But according to us, the fight scene that maybe the best fight scene ever in Cinema history, is that of the fight between Jaka and Mad Dog, the crime lord. The fight takes on a classic approach, of two guys vs one and although is mainly a Silat based fight scene, elements of judo are clear throughout.
Sure the fight scene is long, but that's the reason it's so great. Mad Dog doesn't use weapons but instead displays some true animalistic power in the fight. Hand-to-hand combat is clearly his style, with him at one point saying "I've never really liked using these. They take away the rush. Squeezing a trigger, it's like ordering take-out. This is the thing. This is the pulse. This is what I do."
This six-minute long fight is brutal and epic in equal quantities. The scene was so violent, it brought some criticism, but we think that the violence makes it one of the greatest fights ever filmed – because what's a fight without real violence?!
Set in a dark, run down, bare room, the lack of color and decor is done on purpose. The scene is about the fight and the fight alone and the director didn't even need to resort to shaky camera effects – as the fight itself was hardcore enough.
At one point, one of the guys is caught in a choke hold, and to get out of it he shoots his feet backwards and flips his attacker right onto his face. It's an incredible movie to watch but we are still unsure of where it actually comes from… any ideas?
In true Silat style, one of the good guys gets in a powerful arm attack that breaks the bones of Mad Dog's arms (sound effects are one point, may we add!) following up with a jab to the chest, a choke-hold, and then spins the crime lord in a way that snaps his back…daymn!
The fight ends with a bloody stab to the neck with an old lightbulb and slice it across his neck that takes a little longer than is comfortable. Silat is violent at the best of times, but this scene is in our opinion one of, if not THE BEST fighting scenes ever filmed.

The Community Garden of SaaS
The Perfect Analogy
From time to time, we come up with analogies on the fly that make so much sense, we have to share them. This is a great example. Not long ago, I was trying to explain how SaaS works in relation to developing software and product management. While we've talked about our process in the past, it has been on the "how," not the "why." To explain that part, we found a perfect analogy in the Community Garden.
The Plot
Let's start with the land. To get our garden going, we need a place to put it. So we imagine a city block that has been razed and plowed. This is our garden, and we have opened up access to our clients, who wish to grow their own beets. We let the spinach people in too, of course. Plenty of space for everyone. While we have cleaned up, tilled, fertilized and weeded the plot, there isn't much value until someone comes to plant.
The Crew
We have a team that is on site at all times caring for the Plot. We have soil experts, testers, hydration monitors, fertilizers, and general gardening experts who are around if there are any questions. We even have a team who will help you get started in planting your crops, and give you advice on how to manage them. While we all have roles to play, not everyone gets noticed by the Gardeners. In fact, when they do their job right, you'll never see them at all.
We also have a manger of the Plot itself. Their job is to watch how the entire Plot is being used, as well as listening to the Gardeners to understand their needs. Our goal is to make sure everyone gets the best harvest they can, and that they are happy being part of the community.
The Gardeners (That's You)
The Plot needs Gardeners to produce anything worth having. It doesn't matter how much time the Crew spends preparing the soil, without Gardeners the Plot is just dirt. Plenty of potential, but no output. The Gardeners are the ones who really make the system worthwhile, and we are excited when we see their crops start to bear fruit. Or vegetables. Or both.
Growing the Plot
As anyone who has worked the soil knows, a Plot can only hold so many plants. So as we grow, we may need to add the next block to the Plot to make sure everyone has the room they need. That means more Crew members, not to mention crosswalks, wheelbarrows, additional tools and resources to make sure the Plots are connected.
Strategy? Yes!
It also means, though, that we have to be strategic on how we deploy our Crew. The bigger the Plot, the smarter we have to be. Our Plot manager also has to think not just of what we need today, but what we might need tomorrow. Do we spend time acquiring the next block and preparing it in case we need to expand? Do we install an electric weasel fence to prevent unwanted pests? Do we deploy the entire Crew with extra water in case of drought? The larger the Plot, the more difficult those decisions get.
There's also the issue of what the Gardeners want. They may not see the drought coming, or know that the Plot down the street has a HUGE weasel problem. They see their own part of the Plot, and give their feedback to the manager based on that view. One Gardener grows mostly tomatoes, and what they need is a support system so they don't need to keep adding stakes as the plants grow. Another doesn't grow any tomatoes, but they would really like to adjust the acidity of the soil to get their pH levels up so they can grow better peppers and rhubarb. A third Gardener just wants to grow flowers, really, so they'd like it if we could build a beehive to support pollination.
Listening to the Voices
All of those voices are important, though naturally some ask louder than others. Our job as the Crew is to listen to the Gardeners and try to do what's best for the entire Plot. Sometimes, that means we all pitch in on the soil pH issue. Sometimes it means listening to the requests, but deciding to work on the fence that no one asked for, but we know is going to be really important. And sometimes it means saying sorry, but we aren't going to build a beehive. Though we know someone who can help you get your flowers pollinated another way.
All of this relates directly to life in a SaaS world. There is one platform that we all share, and our team has a lot of tasks that go unnoticed. We make decisions every day for the good of the whole, though sometimes that means saying no (or no for now) to some requests. When we do that, you can trust that it is because we are planning for everyone's present and future needs, and working to get everyone to max capacity.
Hopefully, that analogy resonates with you. If not, drop us a note. Always happy to talk software or gardening with you!

Custom Knives; Is Your Education Lacking? Part 1
Information on knife makers, styles, materials, and all things custom knives can be found in publications that are primarily knife related and those that have articles or include them in their stories. Combine that with the amount of information on the internet and the membership levels of internet forums, one can argue you never have to leave your house to find out all you need to know about a custom knife. You could argue that, but I would submit to you that you are wrong.
For centuries, buggy whips saw steady sales. Businesses were built and careers were made crafting this necessary piece of equipment for everyone from the average person to the gentry. Then at the turn of the 20th century many of these stores closed up shop. Why? The introduction of the automobile changed the focus of what consumers wanted. Many gave the public what they wanted and adapted with the times. Some went into the bicycle business and even that morphed into something else. A couple of friends changed the idea of the bicycle and their newest ideas can be seen today all over the roads and in their Headquarters in Milwaukee, WI. A couple of brothers moved from Ohio to North Carolina and today you see their ideas; but you have to look up.
Today, custom knife making and collecting move at a rapid pace. Techniques, materials, openers, locks from the past are morphed into updated versions of your Grandfather's, maybe even your Father's pocket knife. New makers seem to show up weekly if not daily. I routinely receive emails and phone calls inquiring about a new maker. When I reply that I have not heard of them, I am often met with, "They have been making knives for 3 months and they are awesome." No doubt there are some knife makers that show great potential almost immediately with varied backgrounds, many with newly acquired machining skills from their job or a technical school. While for most the learning curve is a little longer than 3-6 months. In particular, for tactical folders, with the right machines and the training that curve can be cut in half. That said, my curiosity is always piqued by the latest knife making savant.
Robertson's Custom Cutlery is your source for custom knives from today's leading custom knife makers. We only feature the highest quality knives at value prices. Our custom fixed and folding knife selection includes tactical fixed and folding knives, presentation fixed and folding knives, bowies, hunters and skinners, and a large selection of forged blades. Les Robertson, author and owner of Robertson's Custom Cutlery, is also a Field Editor for Blade Magazine and an instructor at Blade University. If you have questions about the content in this article or about any knife or maker on our website, you can contact Les directly at email@example.com or (706) 650-0252.

The late afternoon sun winked in and out of the clouds during Michelle and Bradley's romantic Alki Beach engagement session, providing the perfect mix of diffused and golden light. Just south and west of downtown Seattle, Alki feels like a little beach town with a laid-back vibe, cafes and restaurants, and gorgeous panoramic views of the downtown skyscrapers, Magnolia, Queen Ann, and the Puget Sound. Ferry traffic from Vashon and Bainbridge Islands sails steadily back and forth, and the hustle and bustle of the city feels so far away. The beaches at Alki and southwest West Seattle are so lovely for a romantic couple's portrait session, with gentle waves lapping the pebbled shore and just a hint of the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas across the narrow stretch of Puget Sound. Sunset is the perfect time to be on the beach, whether for a volleyball game, a beach picnic, or a leisurely walk with your sweetie! Michelle wore the sweetest yellow sun dress and Bradley kept things classic and masculine with a button-down collared shirt and jeans. It was a joy to capture their affection and laughter—I can't wait to celebrate with them at their Tracy Castle wedding in October!

2. Amazon wants everyone to know it's totally cool with smoking pot now. The company is lobbying the government to federally legalize cannabis, shortly after announcing it'll no longer pre-screen employees for cannabis use — partially because it's running out of workers to hire.
3. The early days of Peter Thiel's fellowship were disastrous for attendees. In a new book, Max Chafkin goes behind the scenes of the hastily thrown-together fellowship, which left some participants with depression, mental health issues, and drug abuse problems. What we learned from "The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley's Pursuit of Power."
4. Apple wants to know if iPhones can help detect depression. Per the WSJ, scientists are examining sleep and typing data to see if it corresponds with early signs of mental health issues, so Apple could then warn people if they are at risk. Everything we know so far.
5. Elon Musk said the next SpaceX civilian mission would have a better toilet. Musk tweeted there had been "challenges" with the toilet — but didn't elaborate any more. From an oven to Starlink wifi, here's what else civilians can expect on the next flight.

The Peptide Response: How Kids Get Addicted To Gluten and Dairy
Sep 17, 2015One of the first things I do when working with kids on the autistic-spectrum is take them off gluten and dairy. In 80% of cases we see improvement. Many times when taking kids off these two major food categories, we have to wean off slowly, or they will have a withdrawal-type response. I have seen kids fiending for their favorite foods, having not only meltdowns, but true withdrawal symptoms. They look like drug addicts not getting their fix.
How is it possible that these foods can impact behavior and emotions so profoundly?
One of the mechanisms is that gluten and dairy contain certain peptides, which are strings of amino acids.
Just to do a quick nutritional biochemistry recap – single amino acids make up peptides, and peptides make up whole proteins. I liken it to a pearl necklace – one single pearl would be an amino acid, a string of several pearls together would be a peptide, and the entire necklace would be a full protein.
There are specific sequences of amino acids in gluten and dairy that have the ability to bind with opioid receptors in the brain. These are the same receptors as morphine and heroin bind to. The result is feelings of calm, happiness, and even euphoria. Wonder bread and cow's milk become the drugs, and our poor children become the addicts. They tend to be the kids that want nothing but mac and cheese and ice cream, and they become very agitated, withdrawn, aggressive, or upset when they can't have them.
So why do some kids have this response and not others? It mostly has to do with lacking the enzymes that fully break those peptides down into single amino acids. It is also that these foods are inherantly problematic and contain problem sequences that are not found in other foods. There is research also showing that soy may contain similar peptides.
The solution? For some families, a gluten and dairy-free diet is the only way out, but should be put in place slowly and incrementally. For others, specific digestive enzymes called DPP-IV might be enough to help break down those peptides so that they can't bind with the opioid receptors. Such diets are definitely restrictive and can be challenging to implement, but if a child is on the autistic spectrum, can make incredible differences in emotional states, behavior and cognition.
Gluten and dairy are generally inflammatory foods and are not my favorites overall, however the peptide-binding reaction is a definite mechanism by which they can impact young brains (and old brains too!). There are urine tests that can check for whether a child is producing those specific peptides in elevated ratios, which would indicate to me immediately that they'd be better off without them. It might be worth considering in any child with developmental delay, autism, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression or any other neurological or psycho-emotional issue.

Product Description
Affordable LS3-based high-performance for the street or track!
Using the LS3 engine as its foundation, the LS376/515 crate engine adds Chevrolet Performance's racing-derived ASA Cam and a carbureted intake system to produce 515 horsepower at a stellar 6,500 rpm and 469 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,000 rpm.

Children House 2
This week we've explored beginning sounds– not the names of the letters , but the sound. When we focus on the sound of the words we hear ( starting with beginning sounds, moving to ending sounds, and later… all the sounds)we build our foundation for easy, effortless reading and writing! The children had fun asking each other ,"What do you hear at the beginning of bea…?" and playing lots of "I Spy," with objects in the environment. Reading and writing, here we come!
