Dinnerware isn't something people give much thought to – until the time comes to choose our own. Many people go through a time when they've collected mismatched cast-off pieces given to us by parents, other relatives and friends. Eventually, however, you want to get a complete set. Some people may want to mix and match according to their taste and style. A set of dinnerware can be a fun way to brighten up your kitchen and your mealtimes.
History of Dinnerware
The idea of eating food on dishes, made from clay, originated over 1,000 years ago in China, which is why general dinnerware is often referred to as "china." Even today, most dinnerware manufacturers are located near sources of good clay. In the United States, Ohio and West Virginia have been home to many dinnerware companies. The Homer Laughlin Company, which makes Fiestaware, is still located in West Virginia along the Ohio River.
Today, most dinnerware is made of either china, porcelain or bone china. China is really any type of ceramic dinnerware. Porcelain is a finer material, made of clay, feldspar and quartz, and heated in kilns to high temperatures. Bone china is similar to porcelain, but with up to 50 percent of calcified animal bone, or bone ash. This makes the dishes thinner and lighter but surprisingly more durable than porcelain. Bone china is kiln-fired but at a lower temperature than porcelain. If you want to know how much bone ash is in bone china, you'll have to ask the manufacturer.
Types of Dinnerware
The most important part of a dinnerware set is the dinner plate. This is what you serve your main evening course on, and it is probably what you will serve to your company. On the table, this is surrounded by the soup, salad and dessert plates. For a formal table, the pattern should be the same. But for an informal table, a mix of patterns can add interest.
Many dinnerware sets are sold by the place setting. These usually range from three to seven pieces. A three-piece setting is merely a dinner plate, cup and saucer. A five-piece setting is a dinner plate, salad or dessert plate, bread plate and cup and saucer. Seven pieces include a dinner plate, salad plate, bread and butter plate, soup cup and saucer, and cup and saucer. A good set to start with is a 20-piece set, which includes service for four.
Because many people drink beverages out of a mug instead of a cup and saucer, many dinnerware sets include other options besides the traditional cup-and-saucer set. Fiestaware offers other options for dinnerware sets. The three-piece Bistro set includes a dinner plate, salad plate and soup bowl. The three-piece classic setting includes a dinner plate, salad plate and cereal bowl. That same combination, along with a mug, is Fiestaware's four-piece place setting. Its five-piece setting includes a plate, salad plate, cereal bowl and cup and saucer.
You'll need to determine which brand and type of dinnerware set best suits your lifestyle when choosing your set. But once you have the basics, most brands of dinnerware have a myriad of options from which to fill in at any time. You can buy a set of dessert plates separately or a set of appetizer plates. Mix and match colors and styles to reflect your own taste.
Formal Table Setting
If you want a formal table, you'll start with a service plate. This large plate, usually 13 to 14 inches in diameter, is also called a charger and serves as an underplate for the first course. The appetizer is served on an appetizer plate, usually 4 to 7 inches in diameter. To the upper left of the place setting is the bread and butter plate, about 5 to 7 inches in diameter. It should be smaller than the appetizer plate.
The service plate remains in place during the second course, which is often a soup course. The soup bowl is typically 6 to 7 inches across and 1 to 1½ inches deep. Sometimes, a fish course follows, and this is served on a fish plate. The service plate is removed for the main course, which is served on a dinner plate. Dinner plates are usually 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Depending on the tradition, the salad course either precedes or follows the main course. It is served on the salad plate, which is 7.5 to 8.5 inches round.
If you are serving a formal lunch, your lunch entrée plate will be slightly smaller than your main course dinner plate, usually 8 to 10 inches in diameter. Dessert is then served on the dessert plate, which is 7 to 9 inches in diameter and often ornately decorated.
Serving Plates
You may want to have matching platters, serving bowls, casserole dishes, butter plate, sugar bowl and creamer. These do not have to match, but many starter sets of dinnerware come with some basic serving dishes. Often platters and serving bowls come in round and oval shapes, and choosing these is a matter of personal preference.
Your main takeaway about dinnerware should be to have fun with it. Serving meals using dinnerware that you love makes your eating experience that much more pleasurable.

Pew Research Center is out with an analysis of how North Texans get and consume their news, and the breakdown isn't kind to print and paid media, be it The Dallas Morning News or your friendly neighborhood alt-weekly. (That's us. Hi.)
An overwhelming share of DFW turns to the region's four big over-the-air networks when it needs to find out what's going on, according to the report, which relied on survey responses from 35,000 U.S. adults combined with statistical modeling to reach its conclusions.
Twenty percent of North Texans cited KDFW, Dallas' Fox affiliate, as the local source from which they got news most often. WFAA (ABC), KXAS (NBC) and KTVT (CBS) took spots two through four, according to Pew. The Dallas Morning News, the highest ranked non-TV outlet on the list, was the first choice for 4 percent of respondents, tying with TV (unspecified) for fifth in the rankings. Nineteen percent of respondents said they prefer their news come from a source classified as "other" by Pew, which includes online-only outlets and non-daily newspapers.
Local residents' preference for TV news lines up with the choices of those surveyed around the country, according to the researchers who compiled the report.
"Local television stations, overall, still have the widest reach, with 38 percent [of people who] are often getting news through local televisions stations," Amy Mitchell, the director of journalism research for Pew, said during a press call. "That is mostly done — still at this point — through the television set."
Other media, like traditional print outlets and nontraditional news providers, have seen more of their readership move online, Mitchell said. Regardless of the outlet producing the content, almost as many (42 percent) of Dallas residents choose to get their news from a website, app or social media as they do from their TVs (43 percent).
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to the Observer's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Dallas's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
Wherever DFW residents are getting their news, they aren't paying for it. Only 11 percent of those surveyed locally, about 3 percent less than the national average, said they've paid for any news in the past year, be it from a local or national outlet.
Perhaps the best news in the survey, at least for those who help provide the news, is that local residents remain confident in their local news sources. Eighty-two percent of adults in the Dallas area say local media does very well or fairly well at "keeping them informed of the most important local stories of the day," while 84 percent are either somewhat or very confident that their main source of local news can get them the information they need.
Dallas media does less well when it comes to connecting personally with those they cover, according to the survey. More than half of DFW adults told Pew that local news focuses on an area near them, like a neighboring city, rather than the one in which the live. While that's to be expected in an area as sprawling as Dallas-Fort Worth and its suburbs, Mitchell says that feeling that local news is focused on someone else is persistent throughout the country.
"When you dig in to sort of that level of connection that people feel or don't feel, there's less consistency across the country," Mitchell said.

Mumbai: Alert hotel staff bust Kenyan Airways crew member carrying 23 kg gold
Hyatt staff bust Kenya Airways crew member carrying nearly 23 kg gold hidden in nylon kneecaps and a belt
Gold bars recovered
Vigilance on part of three employees of Hotel Grand Hyatt in Santacruz East yesterday helped to bust a Kenya Airways crew member, who was found to be illegally carrying nearly 23 kg of gold. The Sahar police received a call from the hotel around 8 am yesterday over suspicion of contraband material inside the bag of a crew member of Kenya Airways who had checked in. Based on the input received, officers reached the hotel and arrested Abdulla Ali, 29, who had arrived from Nairobi on flight KQ-210. They also arrested a Kenyan identified as Ali Hussain Ibrahim, 26, who had come to the hotel to take the gold from him.
The police recovered 128 gold bars weighing nearly 15 kg and 28 crude gold bars weighing 7.8 kg, concealed in four nylon kneecaps and a belt with 26 pockets. The total value of the precious metal recovered is estimated at Rs 6.37 crore. Ali, who has admitted in his statement of knowledge, possession, carriage and recovery of the said gold bars, has been handed over to the customs department for further investigation.
The Sahar police and zone DCP felicitated hotel employees Vivek Hanumant Vayadande, Manjit Singh Gurudeep Singh Manga and Vipul Arun Mangale for their tip-off. Speaking on the matter, Yasmin D Poonegar, director of Corporate Communications, South West Asia, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, said, "As the matter is under investigation, Hyatt cannot add any further comment."

28 Number of crude gold bars recovered

Recently, a couple flying from Mumbai to Bengaluru loses pet at T2's baggage make-up area after animal breaks free from cage; three days on, search still underway.
In January, officials of Chhatrapathi Shivaji International Airport's customs department arrested three passengers (one in the first case and two in the second) for trying to carry cut pieces of a 1,000 gm gold bar and 49,500 euros respectively, by hiding them in their rectums.

The ear drum (also called tympanic membrane) separates the outer ear (where sound comes in) from the middle ear (also called tympanic cavity). The middle ear is not vacuum, it is full of air at atmospheric pressure, it is connected to your throat by the auditory tube (also called the eustachian tube). So yes, all pressure is positive. The ear drum is subject to atmospheric pressure from the front (the outer ear) and atmospheric pressure from the back (the tympanic cavity). So the natural state of the eardrum is equilibrium, no net pressure since there is equal pressure pushing in and pushing out on the eardrum. Suppose you hold up a piece of paper. Does atmospheric pressure rip it out of your hands? No. There is atmospheric pressure exerting enormous force on the front of the piece of paper, but there is also atmospheric pressure exerting an equal and opposite enormous force on the back of the paper. They cancel and there is no net force on the paper. The same with your eardrum.
Now, back to the original claim, that an audio signal should be always positive because sound pressure is always positive. This is not correct. It is true that sound is a fluctuation of the positive pressure of the atmosphere. The audio system does not need to provide the positive pressure. It is always there. The weight of the atmosphere above our heads is producing atmospheric pressure, about 100,000 Pascals, or 15 lb/in^2 whether you have a sound system or not. The sound system only needs to provide the small momentary fluctuations above and below the mean atmospheric pressure. A transducer is designed to produce a pressure perturbation proportional to the voltage input. Positive voltage the transducer element moves forward, making a positive perturbation to the pressure (which propagates away as sound). Negative voltage the transducer moves backward, making a negative perturbation to the pressure (which propagates away as sound). It is the change in the signal that produces sound from the transducer. Whether the signal bipolar (fluctuation around zero) or always positive (fluctuating around some positive offset voltage) makes no difference. The positive pressure of the atmosphere does not depend on the speaker.

1 Corinthians 11. Worship and the LORD's supper. Covering the head in worship
1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. 5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
17 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. 18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. 34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Compiling the project from sources is useful to… :
Hikou no mizu's dependencies are quite common and should be available on the repositories of most GNU/Linux and *BSD distributions :
For instance, on Debian & derivatives :
#apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-image1.2-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev libopenal1 libopenal-dev libvorbisfile3 libogg-dev libvorbis-dev
Since every dependencies were installed, hnm should now build properly :)
To build hnm, reach the src/ directory, containing a simple Makefile, and type make.
cd /hnm/directory/ cd src/ make
The compilation is quite short (currently (0.2dev) ~45 seconds on my old laptop ;)), and will generate an executable in src/ parent directory. So, to try the game :
cd ../ ./hikouNoMizu
And you're done !


text: To help develop an explicit statutory mandate and a clear corporate vision to guide its public policy role of facilitating access to affordable housing, a national housing organization engaged Hudson Financial Consulting Ltd. in 2014. Our aim was to help improve the client's strategic and operational efficiency and effectiveness, strengthening it to meet the housing needs of lower-income families as well as collect adequate revenue to cover its operational costs. We presented 22 recommendations to thoroughly address the institutional challenges we had identified. These recommendations covered the client's mandate, functions, policies and strategies, human resource management system, and financial and operational performance. One of the important components of this project was a policy thrust that would allow women better access to low-income housing. These recommendations will strengthen the client's institution in fulfilling a clear policy mandate of providing access to affordable housing to those who need it the most.

Hi! My name is Jordana Frost and I am a DONA-certified childbirth doula and the owner of Grounded Birth Doula CT. Keen on improving maternity care services for all, I have entered the doula profession with the training, experience, and passion needed to provide pregnant individuals and their families with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to have an empowering birth experience.
In 2018, I earned a Doctorate in Public Health (DrPH) with a focus on Maternal Child Health from Boston University, where I studied perinatal health disparities and high quality, high value family-centered intrapartum care practices, under the mentorship of Dr. Gene Declercq and Dr. Neel Shah. I am very comfortable with understanding research and enjoy sharing the latest evidence about maternity care best practices with my doula clients. I layer this knowledge with a personal interest in human connection, birth art as a vehicle to tap into personal emotions surrounding pregnancy and birth, a quirky sense of humor, and hands-on skills in diverse comfort measures and optimal positioning during labor. Training in lactation support and perinatal mood disorders round up my toolkit for the care I provide. My doula work marries well with my role as the Director of Maternal Child Health and Government Affairs for the CT and RI chapters of a large national nonprofit organization, where I work closely with partners statewide on promoting evidence-based programs and policies for healthy moms, babies, and their families. As a founding member of the Connecticut Doula Collective and a member of Birth Tribe, I take pride in taking an active role in advancing the doula profession and partnering with maternity care providers to improve the patient experience, while also ensuring positive birth outcomes. Born in Australia, and raised in Italy, I have also lived in Indonesia, Africa, and four states in the U.S. I love working with individuals and families from different backgrounds, cultures, and spiritual paths!
Having experienced two radically different births myself, I understand first-hand the intricate relationship between body, mind, and spirit and the importance of ensuring that pregnant people and their birth teams, are adequately supported during pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. My goal is to support you no matter what your choices are, with unbiased information, helpful comforting strategies, emotional support, and personalized care.

Doctors for infectious disease
Share a certain predilection
To find their etiologies
In willy-nilly viral infection.
Neurologists, without reserve,
Are prone to blame all weird distress
Upon a sick peripheral nerve,
Or even worse, the CNS.
For us in rheumatology,
Our ABCs are T's and B's
Which limit our ecology
To a world of autoimmunities.
But if the MABs and CEPTs should fail
To do what they're supposed to do,
Might we still find a holy grail
To resurrect our hope anew?
Since all who live must surely die,
But need not die a hapless clone
Of those who missed the college-try
With panacea prednisone,
Ubi dubium, we are free
To ponder science for a while,
And then, with wise alacrity,
Employ the famous steroid trial.
So it goes throughout our craft,
We hide our doubts behind white coats,
Sometimes clever, sometimes daft,
Ever ready to sow wild oats.
Robert Karsh, MD, is a retired rheumatologist.

The NIH community and cancer scientists around the world were saddened to learn that Alan Rabson, M.D., a prominent former IRP researcher and Deputy Director of the NIH's National Cancer Institute (NCI), passed away on July 4 at the age of 92.
Dr. Rabson first joined the NIH in 1955 as a pathologic anatomy resident in the NIH Clinical Center, which had opened just two years before, and he began studying cancer-causing viruses in an NCI intramural laboratory a year later. Over the course of his ensuing six decades with NIH, Dr. Rabson accumulated a great many stories, a few of which we have shared in his own words, pulled from a 1997 "NCI Oral History Project" interview.

James F. Holland, M.D., a renowned cancer expert who was a major figure in the development of cancer chemotherapy, died on March 22, 2018, at the age of 92. Dr. Holland was among the first group of research physicians recruited to the NIH Clinical Center, serving as a senior surgeon at the National Cancer Institute from 1953 to 1954. In that short year at the NIH, he initiated a clinical trial to compare continuous or intermittent treatment with two chemotherapy agents for acute leukemia in children: methotrexate and 6-mercaptopurine. Dr. Holland moved to Roswell Park Memorial Institute in Buffalo before the trial was completed, but he continued to collaborate. His work ultimately turned an incurable illness into one with an 80% survival rate. In 1972, he and his NIH collaborators shared the Albert Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award for "outstanding contribution to the concept and application of combination therapy in the treatment of acute leukemia in children."

When I first came to The Children's Inn in June of 2016, I had no idea what it would mean to me. The next several months, though, certainly ended up being some of the most transformational months of my life. I first came to The Inn as a 19-year-old who had somehow managed to finish his first year of college, even while dealing with a harsh genetic disease known as sickle cell anemia. After staying at The Inn for nearly five months, I left as a man, entering his second year of college, having been healed from the disease that once shaped his life.

My 8-year-old nephew Luke has a sixth-grade reading level, while still in the third grade. Yet, he often struggles to finish his chores. He carries a timer in his backpack to keep himself on task. His school provides Luke with special assistance, including extra time for tests and repeated, detailed instruction. The challenges arise because Luke, like his mother Rebecca, has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Isaac was born to fight. Arriving more than five weeks early by emergency C-section, it wasn't just his way of coming into the world that made him different from his three brothers. While he initially looked healthy, his parents soon realized Isaac's health was something he and the entire family would need to be fighting for every single day.

Last month I moderated our annual retreat with the NIH Scientific Directors, those individuals tasked with leading their Institute or Center (IC)-based intramural research program. We were joined by many of the IC Clinical Directors. And this year we decided to do something a little different: listen to a series of talks about exciting, new IRP research.

The surprising results of an animal study are raising hopes for a far simpler treatment regimen for people infected with the AIDS-causing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Currently, HIV-infected individuals can live a near normal life span if, every day, they take a complex combination of drugs called antiretroviral therapy (ART). The bad news is if they stop ART, the small amounts of HIV that still lurk in their bodies can bounce back and infect key immune cells, called CD4 T cells, resulting in life-threatening suppression of their immune systems.

If you were going to train an artificial intelligence (AI) system to understand and accurately diagnose medical images, what kind of information do you think would be most effective: lots of general image data, or small amounts of specific data?

Tourmaline chemistry and the IIIB site
Document Type
Publication Date
Geography and Geology
Based on a large database of tourmaline crystal-structure refinements and associated electron microprobe analyses, the < B-O > bond length in the triangular (BO3) groups was found to be reasonably constant for all tourmaline species, but the B-O2 and B-O8 are variable as a function of the crystal chemistry. Tourmalines, such as elbaite, tend to have B-O2 distances significantly shorter than the B-O8 distances, whereas others, like povondraite, tend to have B-O2 distances that are longer than their B-O8 bonds. Statistical analysis of the bond-valence contributions for the nine-coordinated X-O2, and the six-coordinated Y-O2, Z-O8, and Z'-O8 bonds-as they relate to the B-O2/B-O8 bond valence-suggest that the Z'-O8 bond has the most influence over the geometry of the (BO3) triangle. This study highlights variations in what has otherwise been assumed to be a static site in the crystal structure of tourmaline-group minerals.

Dear Jared Padalecki: A Heartfelt Thank You for The Christmas Cottage
Dear Jared,
I just worked a thirteen hour overnight Retail Black Friday shift, and the only thing that got me through it was knowing once I got home I would get to watch The Christmas Cottage.
Let me say that again. Getting to watch The Christmas Cottage was the only thing that got me through it.
I know that you spend many long hours at work on Supernatural---and I am thankful for the end result---but I also know that it is hard to be away from those you love. I want to thank you for all of that, too.
This movie is my reward for enduring the chaos and pandemonium that comes with this massive shopping day. I can't thank you enough for making it. It reminds me to remember, and I hope others, what Christmas is really about---not just the consumerism and commercialized version we're expected to celebrate now.
Christmas is about family. It's about being together. It's about love. And it's about never letting that light dim or go out. This movie always reminds me of that and to treasure my friends and family just a little bit more. It is the only thing about the whole insanity that I even look forward to with any real excitement.
I look at getting to watch this movie as my badge of surviving another crazy Black Friday.
Your performance in this movie is so moving and powerful. No matter how many times I've watched it, I find myself loving it a little more each time and I pick up on a new nuance in your portrayal of Tom that makes him better. This performance is the type of performance that lingers with me long after I've watched it. I am blown away by the emotional depth you reach in this movie, especially opposite Peter O'Toole.
There is an earnest purity in how you play Tom that makes me invested instantly. Be it him enthusiastically running out to greet his father or the shock at learning what his mother's dealt with alone, I can't help but champion him and it's all in how you present him. The concern and affection Tom has for Glen is a palpable thing in your scenes with Peter O'Toole---and I can see it all in the gestures and body language you use to convey that.
I also love the determination you put into Tom---be it when he's trying to get the job to paint the mural or when he's trying to convince his father to help his mother's situation. I can see it all in your facial expressions that Tom won't give up. It reminds me to never quit on my own dreams. When I need to dig deep---as I did during last night's shift---I remember this performance and what it taught me. (For the record, I see this in your portrayal of Sam Winchester, too). I can never thank you enough for that.
My favorite scene is the one that makes me cry the most, which is odd, I know. I am just leveled by the impact of Tom's pleading with Glen at the end, trying to get through to him and just breaking down to tell him that he has nothing. As I write this now, I can see it in my head, and I'm already a bit teared up thinking about it. It's just that hard hitting and emotionally powerful. There's so much beauty in that scene---and it is so very human.
I don't know how you managed to pull such an emotional scene together, but I am always grateful that you did. This movie touches me deeply. It's easily my favorite Christmas movie. And it will always be the only thing I look forward to during the Black Friday chaos. You did that with your stunning portrayal of Tom Kinkade and telling such a powerful story through your performance.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for bringing that brilliant light when it's dark. I can never thank you enough for making this movie.
I hope whenever you're having a hard day or struggling that you'll remember that the work you do brings great joy to your fans---and lights up their world, too.

1h 20min
American poet Allen Ginsberg was a passionate photographer and, like many well-known street photographers of his generation gathered images and associations of the America visible to them according to their own aesthetics – such as Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand and Robert Frank, Ginsberg's famous poem Howl is full of a mass of associations, private and universal clues that are difficult and easy to decipher, snapshots of moments of awareness. At almost the same time Howl was released, Robert Frank published his photo book The Americans and thereby transformed not only the path of photography in the 20th century but also perspectives on America. In the images that he made in 1955/1956, Frank looked under the surface of American life: he portrayed a people plagued by racism, that was condemned by its politicians and appeared to be congealing completely through a growing consumer culture. At the edges of American life, a new kind of beauty was emerging and Frank's intuitive style made his book into a powerful and provocative poem.
Whoever does not like poetry, go home, watch television with large images of cowboys with big hats being well treated by kind horses.
Jack Kerouac
A little book titled Howl and other Poems was released in 1956 in San Francisco as the young poet Allen Ginsberg's first publication in the City Lights Books Pocket Poets series and was immediately subjected to an obscenity trial, which ended with a historical affirmation of the individual freedom of art and creative expression. Ever since, the poem Howl has been the spearhead of poetic freedom, an attack on every form of conformity, a holy relic of the desire for freedom and outsider status, in short: the poem that fundamentally changed American society and slid its periphery into the centre of focus. What else should we expect of literature? "The appeal in "Howl" is to the secret or hermetic tradition of art 'justifying' or 'making up for' defeat in worldly life…. In publishing "Howl," I was curious to leave behind after my generation an emotional time bomb that would continue exploding inside U.S. consciousness in case our military-industrial-nationalist complex solidified into a repressive police bureaucracy." so Ginsberg.
"Crazy highway driving people forward– crazy highway, solitary, driving along bends in the entrances of space ..."
Jack Kerouac
Music played a major role in Allen Ginsberg's life and work, he worked with groups like Bob Dylan and The Clash, he inspired Patty Smith in the creation of some of her songs, but he mostly played on a small harmonium and sang along. In the second half of his life, Ginsberg became a devout Buddhist. In 1979 he played a concert in a Munich loft and concluded the evening with a harmonium version of the Heart Sutra. This mantra is at the core of a concentrated teaching; whoever recites it with devotion many times is supposed to internalise the essence of the teaching of emptiness and be strengthened in the process of sinking deeper and deeper into inner emptiness and silence. After his death in New York on 5 April 1997, Ginsberg spent an additional three days on the Earth as soul and spirit and then, with this mantra, was released into the infinity of the cosmos. He was curious to know what death looked like.... and it looks like life - what else should it look like? - because Ginsberg knew what the Sutras say.
How is all of that connected to each other?
We will see...

The Deacon Grant Incident is a Minor Saga that took place in and around Temple in the fall of 1374.
Unsealing of the Tomb of the Shattered Sword
Deacon Grant of the Church of Light committed suicide by hanging, but not before sending a key to Sister Penance, a contemporary of his, earlier that morning. Penance was deeply hurt by Grant's suicide and she, teamed with Aldaron the eladrin, Valtyr the spellsword and the tiefling Devis, decided to investigate further at the behest of the honorable Bishop Farris.
Deacon Grant was a zenmushor, or crypt keeper, for the Tomb of the Shattered Sword located under the deacon's own house and had lived the last several months of his life holed up there. The investigators entered the tomb, bypassing the divine runes that safeguard the doors and met with a gargoyle guarding the relics inside. The gargoyle spoke of Grant investigating Gillam, a village north across the Spearhead Bay. Gillam was deserted strangely and the only one left being a young boy holding a golden apple. Grant became aware that some force was after the apple and asked the gargoyle to hide it from the aggressors. Sister Penance gave the gargoyle the deacon's key which prompted him to tell them the location of the apple; the kuo-toa city, Icthlixn.
The investigators sailed from Temple to Gillam to look for further clues. The village was still abandoned and in a state of great disrepair. They found a ledger in the church telling the tale of how a local boy, Kylin Strongbrow, found a golden apple when helping to dig a town well. Soon, villagers began seeing far off flames at night and feeling uneasy as if being watched.
Whatever took the town did so quickly and efficiently.
Icthlixn, the Dead
Up the western coast from Temple is the ruined city of the kuo-toa. The city was covered in two feet of water located only 500 feet offshore. The investigators walked into the strange and empty city waiting for an ambush that never came. They made their way into the central temple and inside, found a safe of human construction. They bypassed the lock and opened it to see the only contents; a golden apple.
Angelicide in Rutilev Cathedral
When the four of them returned to Temple, they were told Bishop Farris was waiting for them inside Rutilev Cathedral. They went to the bishop and gave him the apple, but it was his apprentice, Valory, who took the role of villain by slaying the bishop and taking the apple for herself. She cast off her human form and took one of a shining angel with a great silver trumpet.
She explained that the apple was a treasure of Holy Seicania and not fit for the mortal realm. For their part in this play of mortal arrogance, the investigators are to be put to death. Though the angel fought, she was defeated by the mortals and exploded into light; sent to her home to be judged by Verai Songbird.
The golden apple was to remain in Temple, an honored and guarded treasure. The investigators were congratulated by Maxem the Mariner and awarded boons.

In college, you will need to embrace writing, even when you hated it ever since. more
If you're still having trouble, look
speak to your professor or classmates to have ideas about topics which you might enjoy. Though some professors don't expect beginning students to be in a position link
to do this effectively a normal philosophy paper is anticipated to deliver objections to the writeras own argument.
If you're a senior, locate a one-day activity you'll be able to take part in, like a fundraiser, or a walk to increase money. link
You may choose to think about this as a story with a start, middle and end. For instance, you might be an athlete.
You may want to earn a list of the sorts of images you desire. As you read each guide, underline parts that offer you ideas you may use to support distinctive components of your paper. This kind of writing articles is leveled among the particular jobs rendered nowadays.
You won't yet be writing the dialogue, only planning what you're going to write. Even if you're doing a personal essay or talking about a bit of literature, you will need to get a most important point that you would like to make. You will write a whole lot faster should you talk out your story before you attempt to write it down.
The Appeal of Write Essay for College
It's therefore critical that you make certain you thoroughly plan it well and earn a draft (rough work) of the things which you're going to be discussing before you transfer the draft into the home work. You may choose to think about this as a story with a start, middle and end. As an example, David Modler made a collage named aBig Buga to represent the irony that's the value of insects to our normal world in comparison to their size.
Then summarize every point which you make in every one of your essay's body paragraphs in a couple of sentences. It is an immediate argument that is explained in supporting paragraphs. Your thesis sentence needs to be your main reaction to the essay.
Therefore, when you have information that's regarding the solution, pick the information which moves your solution forward. A methodical strategy is required to compose a process essay. A process analysis essay would perhaps be the very best explanation for virtually any reader who wants to understand a specific procedure or the best way to do something.
Many literacy narratives are written and published by famous writers to aid their audience get to understand them. You may have to explain concepts and supply definitions in these essays, so make sure that you select the most dependable source. A heartfelt, true essay will entice more attention than an essay you don't believe in.
While making the cover page for an essay may be the easiest task that you must undertake while essay writing, it's also most likely the previous portion of your essay that needs attention, and that could be the reason you wind up making silly errors which look really bad as soon as an examiner requires a look at your essay. So don't think that you can't do this, just keep some hope for you and just continue practicing then you might also compose a very good high quality essay and you'll also become professional. As a consequence of the work and time put in the collages, the students ought to be permitted to drop their lowest quiz grade in the semester.
There are additional sources, like books and essays, which can help explain the fundamental concepts and languages that lots of the most well-known philosophers use. Usually, you will argue strongly for the main cause in this sort of essay. The key isn't to attempt to get an extremely clear-cut topic for every single paragraph, yet to explain to yourself the intent of writing each paragraph.

So, I want to share with you today about the one principle that will allow you to have powerful and effective ministry and not burn out in the process.
Wanna know what it is?
It's submission.
Okay, I know what you're thinking. That's it?
Well, yeah. It's in your submission that God is glorified, that you're used, that your soul is refreshed.
But, let's be honest. This is probably one of the hardest words for us to swallow in scripture. But, it's the call that each of us has that identify as a disciple of Jesus, or as a leader in the kingdom of heaven.
Here's the deal. When we surrender ourselves to God and receive salvation, we give up our autonomy. Jesus made it so clear in scripture that we must choose deny ourselves in order to follow. This means that we submit ourselves, in every area of our lives to the will and way of God, who is our father.
Submission Starts In the Heart and Mind
If you look at the history of the Church, and the stories of the great heroes of our faith in scripture, we see that God works in and through those who are willing to submit themselves to God. It's the people who allow God to work, that are the ones through whom He works.
Long before an outward expression of submission is made, there is an inward intention of submission. A decision. A posture of the heart. A commitment of the will.
By this, I mean that in following Jesus, and yes, even in Church leadership, it can be easy to slip into thinking that it's all about the behavior. It can appear that we're submitted to the rule of Christ, but in our hearts we can be enacting our own rule.
Remember in the beatitudes, Jesus reveals that murder and adultery begin in the heart. What happens in the heart can go totally unnoticed by the world around you. But, what happens in your heart postures your to either allow Jesus to rule your life… or not.
I think this is one of the reasons why we see so many leaders struggle with impostor syndrome. In ministry, or on any (even moderately public platform) There becomes an external pressure to act in a way that isn't congruent with what's on the inside.
There's a disconnect.
And in a fear that we'll be exposed, we often bolster up the public persona without dealing with the heart.
What's that do? It leaves leaders feeling increasingly empty, lost… fake.
Maybe you can identify with this. I know I can. Especially when I was early in ministry. I actually quit vocational ministry for a season at one point because I couldn't live with the disconnect. But, I had allowed there to become a massive gap between the exterior and interior of my life.
On the outside, I looked like the most submitted person to the reign of God. I was a professional Christian, working for the church… but on the inside, I was the ruler of my life. I was managing my pain, my public persona, my plans for every day. I had forgotten my calling to truly submit my life to Jesus.
If you've ever been there, you know that it's incredibly exhausting to build your own kingdom and be your own ruler.
Remember, Jesus said that He came to bring abundant life. That comes when we trade our rule and reign for that of Jesus.
It's Because of God's Love
God longs for our absolute submission to Him not because He wants to dominate us. If that was the case, He wouldn't give us freewill. He longs for it, because He loves us.
Submission necessitates a recognition of who God is and who we are. He's Lord. We're not. It's an incredibly humbling realization. And God loves to use those who are humble in heart. Humble people recognize that they cannot manage on their own, but God can. They recognize that their gifts are better used in the hands of God almighty than in their hands. And humble people see that when their lives are submitted to God, no matter what the season or circumstance, God can and will use it.
Be Encouraged
Sometimes, you may find yourself walking through a season that is tiresome, tedious or taxing and you wonder why. You may want to rush to the next season and hurry toward bigger or better things. However, the tiresome season you're in now may be a place where God is preparing you for what's coming. But, for Him to use this season, you have to submit it.
The tedious thing He's asked you to accomplish now is the training ground for what He will lead you toward. But to get the gleaning He has designed for you in this season is to submit it to Him.
The reality is that in small and quiet moments of submission, you will lay the groundwork for God to be glorified. The formation that God needs to do within you will only happen when you submit to Him. You submit yourself, your resources, your plans and the season you're in. And as we already discussed, that doesn't happen by merely putting on a show. It happens in the quiet, often unnoticed recesses of your heart.
The truth is that until we submit what we have to God- all of our gifts, dreams, desires and we choose to walk faithfully with him today- then we are not ready for God to move through us in bigger ways.
To submit to God, it might mean that He may lead you to unlikely places, conversations or ministry appointments. And, when you submit who you are and what you have to God, your life might now look like what you've expected … In the end though, it will look better. Because through submission, you are positioning yourself under the leadership of Christ and allowing Him to truly work through your life.
God doesn't call us to do grand things. He simply calls us to do faithful things.
You and I don't need to roam the earth attempting to do great things for God but simply do things for a great God. You see, impact and influence comes through the faithful. It through the people who are willing to constantly give God what they have that He works so evidently. To faithfully submit the things within yourself to His use in His timing and His power opens the door for Him to work through you and in you and ultimately transform you into the likeness of Christ Himself.
I want to get really practical here for you.
It's one thing to talk about submitting who you are and what you have to Jeusus and it's another thing to actually do it. So, let's talk about How To Submit.
Make the Choice
You and I may not have control over much in life, but we do have control over our choices. And our choices are not just about our actions. They begin with our mind and our heart.
And we have the ability to choose where they are directed and what they're fixed on. In scripture, we're called to set our mind on things that are above, to let not our hearts be troubled, which indicates we can direct our hearts. We're to take our thoughts captive and choose who we will serve.
Submission then, begins with the choice. We chose to submit in salvation, and the choice only becomes more intentional and sacrificial as we mature in our faith. Submitting requires that we chose to surrender our will for the will of the Father.
I'm reminded of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. He utters the incredible prayer to the Father. "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
Wow. That's willful submission. Jesus chose to surrender himself to the Father, to be used by Him, to lay down His preferences for that of the Father. And that was made possible because He chose within Himself to submit.
You have the same opportunity and responsibility. To really follow Jesus, and to lead others to do the same means that you choose to submit.
Worship God
This second way of how to submit is huge. Worship reframes everything because in worship, we ascribe worth to God.
Far too often, what we do is we spend a lot of energy talking ourselves up, talking up our problems, talking up the situations we find ourselves in. We worship ourselves, our problems, our situations. And worship bends your will toward the thing you've given worth.
Think of when David fought Goliath. He was submitted to the will of God, and God worked through Him in a powerful way. But, that didn't come out of nowhere. For years, He had been in the field, tending to the sheep. He would look up at the stars and see the grandeur of the one who hung them there. He would defeat the lion and bear that would try to snatch his sheep and he knew the strength of the God who had rescued Him.
I could walk through so many stories of biblical characters that were used by God because they were worshipers of God. Worship of God bends our will to God and also puts everything else in perspective.
Practice Submission
Submission to God is not the natural tendency for any of us. But, much like a muscle, the more you exercise it, the more your response time quickens and the more you recognize the faithfulness and nearness of God in the midst of it.
For me, I recognize that this has been the situation. I tend to be very independent. When I was a new to really taking my faith seriously, I would cringe any time anyone brought up the word submission.
And even when I was new in ministry, there would be a little part of me that just resisted the idea. I'll tell you this, though. You cannot grow as a follower of Jesus or a leader until you learn to truly and quickly submit to God.
I find that in order for me to consistently and intentionally practice submission, I need to cultivate rhythms that prompt me to do so.
Submission Is For All
As a reminder, this isn't just applicable for those who are new Christians. It's for all of us. The more we follow Jesus, the deeper and more intimate places in our lives that God will call us to submit.
In His kindness, I'm so grateful that He's gentle with what he asks of us. But don't be mistaken, when you come alive in Christ, you're called to die to your flesh. There is no in between.
So, while God, in His loving kindness, might slowly reveal areas of submission, or invite us to deeper surrender, to follow Jesus elimites our option to maintain control of our lives, reputation, our will.
I want to remind you of the passage in Matthew.
Then Jesus told His disciples, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
Wherever it is that you find yourself today, I want to remind you and encourage you that when you submit to the rule of God, as unlikely as life might look, you will find life and rest.
Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."Jesus
My prayer for you today is that you learn from Jesus' humble submission. And that when you do, you find rest for your soul.

Project Description
"We had the contract awarded in three months. We estimated an administrative savings of $1.5 million owed to standardization and consistency."
Service acquisition made (much) easier.
ARRT Training | SAW | ARRT Suite | Background
Save Time. Reduce Cost. Smile More.
The Acquisition Requirements Roadmap Tool Suite (ARRT) is a collection of tools that helps you build strategic elements of your acquisition documents by walking you through structured processes to help ask and answer the right questions related to your acquisition. As you complete the process, the tool generates work products in MS Word format for further editing and routing through the acquisition process.
Requirements Definition
The ARRT Suite Requirements Definition is an automated job assistance tool used to write performance-based requirements. Using the tool, you can create Performance Work Statements (PWS), Quality Assurance Surveillance Plans (QASP), and Performance Requirement Summaries (PRS). The tool is based on the Requirements Roadmap methodology for creating performance based service contracts.
Evaluation Factors
The ARRT Suite Evaluation Factors tool provides a simple, structured approach for developing your contract source selection factors. It walks you through a step by step process to set your factors and subfactors, describe what will be evaluated, and set their relative importance. By importing your requirements from the ARRT Requirements Definition, you can also set the relative importance of your PWS elements too. As you complete this process, the ARRT Evaluation Factors includes a Source Selection Plan (SSP) template based on the FAR that folds in your factors and relative importance as well as provide template paragraphs for the balance of your SSP. Once complete, the tool automatically generates the language of relative importance and produces a draft SSP. The ARRT Evaluation Factors makes developing your source selection factors and subfactors easy and repeatable.
Performance Assessment
The ARRT Suite Performance Assessment tool is designed to assist Contracting Officer's Representatives (CORs) in monitoring and reporting contractor performance. The tool imports the QASP created in the ARRT Requirements Definition, allowing for edits to be made in order to sustain alignment between requirements. The ARRT Performance Assessment also assists in generating an assessment schedule and guides CORs as they go about executing the plan. The final work product of the tool is a complete set of Contractor Performance Assessment Reports System (CPARS) inputs that the COR can use to rate and communicate with the contractor.
Cost Estimation
The ARRT Suite Cost Estimation tool guides cost estimators of all experience levels through the process of estimating costs of services defined in a Performance Work Statement (PWS). The tool allows you to create a PWS or import one from an ARRT Requirements Definition file. The tool contains a Cost Estimate Sheet that displays the total costs you have estimated for each Cost Type (ie Labor, Travel, etc.). Work Products that summarize the data contained in an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) can be exported to Microsoft Word and Excel.

I mistakenly took the tougher route up the side of a mountain. I was impressed that my dog made it. He often found the best paths up the rocks. We also stopped by the "crack in the ground". Apparently he is good at rock climbing as well.

El Diablo by M. Robinson
a choice. I was a bad man, never claimed to be anything else. I've done things
I'm not proud of. Seen things that can't be unseen. I've caused pain that I
can't undo.
"I'm fine," she stubbornly replied. Shaking her legs and arms out. Getting back into position, looking at me through the mirror.
I cocked my head to the side, arching an eyebrow. She narrowed her eyes at me, but begrudgingly listened. I pressed play, allowing the melody to once again take over. She placed her leg on the lowest barre, making her ass stick out in my direction.
Tempting me.
She closed her eyes, needing to get lost in the music, wanting to push away all the negative thoughts, already feeling discouraged. I stood, taking off my suit jacket. Rolling up the sleeves of my collared shirt as I stepped onto the hardwood floor. I slowly came up behind her, catching her off guard.
She froze, turning around, opening her eyes. Peering up at me through her lashes. "What are you doing?"
I leaned forward against her ear, grinning. "I'm helping you stretch." Getting down on my knees in front of her.
Her eyes dilated. The feeling of disappointment replaced with nothing but lust. She placed her arms out to the side, resting up against the barre, supporting her weight. I grabbed her ankle, lifting it up in the air, rubbing along her leg as it was fully stretched, before setting it on the lowest barre. Running my other hand up her side, easing her over toward the extended leg. She understood what I was doing, reaching for her ankle, stretching. Standing back up, bringing her arms above her head, I caressed along her leg again, casually turning her torso so her leg was still placed on the barre behind her.
Her breathing hitched as I touched her all over her lower body. My lips softly kissing the inside of her thigh to where she wanted my mouth the most.
Series, The VIP Trilogy, Tempting Bad, and Two Sides.
angst, romance, triangles, cheating, love, and of course sex! She has been
reading since the Babysitters Club and R.L. Stein.
is currently pursuing her Ph.D in psychology, with two years left.
They have two German Shepherd mixes and a Tabby cat.
This is hands down one of the best books I've had the pleasure of reading this entire year and I loved this book so hard! There are so many twists and turns throughout this story and it went in a completely different direction than I expected it to. I was absolutely thrilled by how much I was kept off guard and on the edge of my seat by this extremely well written and exceptionally amazing book! To be honest, I'm actually upset that I can't give this book more than five stars since I don't feel that five stars are a high enough rating for this. Alejandro Martinez was born into a life of crime and danger where exposing any weakness can be a death sentence. He's been groomed from a very young age to kill without remorse and to demand the respect of everyone. This is how he came to be known as El Diablo, the devil, by the time he's in his early twenties and he prides himself in his status. A love lost causes his heart to shrivel into rock and he vows never to allow anyone in again. Lexi is a young woman filled with life and passion and she's the only one capable of bringing El Diablo's entire empire down on its knees. This is a tale that spans over several years and touches on every single emotion and one that will stay with me long after reading this. I will warn that this is a book that will give you a massive hangover since I required days to process everything that happened within these pages. I cannot stress how much I loved every single thing about this and I highly recommend this to everyone to read. I sincerely hope this author keeps more stories like this coming and hope to see many more from her in the future.

It was ten years ago to the day that The Badger's Eye first made an appearance on the internet, triggered by an encounter with a young badger and the photograph that I managed to take.
Sitting in the dappled light of a July evening, downwind of a badger sett no more than 200 yards from our house I can remember fighting the stiffness growing in my legs as I fought to stay still and quiet. I had been in position for a good 40 minutes before, without warning, the head of a badger began to appear from beneath the ground. I held my breath and lifted the camera to my eye. Fully emerged it was clear the badger was a youngster as it tentatively sniffed the ground – then it raised it's head and looked straight at me. I clicked the shutter button – the moment was caught – and the cub drifted off to explore further, allowing me to retreat and leave the scene.
Moments such as this, or another a few days later when I was stalking young hare leverets in the field edges and managed to creep to within six feet to take this photograph, have been repeated many times in many places with many different species since, though not always with the camera at the ready.
As often as not a camera is not with you when some minor wonder of the natural world crosses your path, though with the development of smartphone technology over the last decade that is now becoming a rare event. In recent times though, sound recording equipment has been a more likely accompaniment to rambles through field and ditch. This avenue of interest has led to more special moments and experiences that remain cherished – recording through the night at Lakenheath Fen or the Somerset Levels, witnessing the birth of grey seal on a Norfolk beach, listening to cranes trumpeting on the Broads at dawn on a February morning or being buffeted by the sonic boom of a Fallow Deer on still October evening South Cambridgeshire. That I have been able to share these with Denise makes them all the more special – sound recording lends itself more to shared hiding and long waits in bushes as opposed to the more solitary occupation of photography.
The personal discoveries have been many over the last decade and our 'UK Wildlife Life List', if we had one, feels as though it has grown exponentially in that time. The blog has often been the prompt to getting out and about in the countryside and I'm grateful for that, as I am that these digital pages will be here to help relive memories in the years to come.

Mountainview Recovery Addiction Treatment Services.
Besides specific treatment program tracks, we offer a number of unique services for individuals recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. While treatment is great, ongoing care and specialized addiction services do their part in helping individuals gain true and lasting healing. Here at Mountainview Recovery, we offer alcohol and drug addiction services supervised by our compassionate staff so that each individual in our care understands they are always in a supportive environment dedicated to recovery success. We want to give every individual who comes into our care the opportunities to gradually utilize what they've learned in treatment so they can succeed with sobriety efforts. And, leave our care with the knowledge and skills to effectively prevent relapse.
Individual Therapy.
Individualized Therapy for addiction consists of one-on-one counseling sessions between an individual in treatment and an addiction therapist. While different people may respond better to varying treatment strategies, individualized therapy is utilized throughout the entirety of the treatment process at Mountainview Recovery.
Group Therapy.
When paired with other beneficial components of addiction treatment, group therapy for addiction is extremely effective and helpful. Group therapy is a therapy setting in which there is one therapist who leads a discussion of specific topics for a group of individuals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Here at Mountainview Recovery, we work to offer patients effective, evidence-driven therapy opportunities. This is why we implement cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into each of our addiction treatment program outlines. With this model of therapy, individuals can work to address the underlying causes of addiction as they relate to developed behavioral patterns.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Dialectical behavioral therapy, or DBT, is a method of therapy that was first developed to help individuals diagnosed with severe or several mental disorders. Since a vast majority of individuals diagnosed with substance use disorder have concurring mental health issues, DBT is an essential tool in dual diagnosis techniques.
Motivational Interviewing.
Motivational interviewing is an evidence-based therapeutic technique that addiction treatment programs may offer. It involves interviewing between client and therapist to encourage motivation to establish healthy lifestyles and healing. Far too often, individuals who get help for addiction aren't motivated to remain sober or continue with recovery once treatment ends. With this technique, addiction therapists can work to identify aspects which may hinder an individual's recovery. And, help to establish coping skills, so these aspects don't interfere with sobriety efforts.
Trauma Resolution.
There are many things that can contribute to an addictive lifestyle. However, one of the most commonly recognized underlying cause of addiction is self-medication. People may self-medicate for a number of reasons. But, it's usually done to numb psychological or emotional pain rather than physical.
Seeking Safety Model.
The causes of addiction are many. It's important to address the underlying causes of addiction during treatment, so the cycle of addiction does not continue once treatment concludes. Those who have developed a lifestyle of addiction due to self-medicating symptoms of trauma can benefit from a Seeking Safety Model of treatment.
12-Step Facilitation.
When one thinks of addiction treatment, they most likely imagine the 12-step meeting. Basically, 12-step programs are group sessions where people in treatment can come together to share addiction experiences. It's an opportunity to celebrate achievements and build an important network of sober support.
Recovery isn't treatment. It's the life which incorporates what is learned throughout time in treatment and practices sobriety. So, your recovery journey is not over once treatment concludes. While treatment is effective in helping people stop using drugs or alcohol and gaining the knowledge needed to remain sober, the risk of relapse is still very real once treatment ends.

Whitechapel shop loses licence over claims it sold laughing gas to customers
PUBLISHED: 07:00 19 September 2019
A shop accused of keeping hundreds of laughing gas canisters in a safe to sell as a psychoactive drug to customers has been stripped of its licence in a council crackdown on so-called "hippy crack".
Police raided the 24/7 Off Licence in Whitechapel after a tip-off that young people were allegedly buying the nitrous oxide canisters there and inhaling the gas from balloons outside.
In a report to Tower Hamlets' licensing committee police said they found 255 laughing gas canisters, the majority concealed in a safe under the till, chargers and balloons during the raid in April.
It has been illegal to sell or import nitrous oxide for its psychoactive effects since 2016.
Kevin Maple from Tower Hamlets Trading Standards said: "[We] have received a complaint about the premise from a resident. The complaint states that: 'Residents are fed up with scores of people parking cars up and taking these canisters'."
He added that some people have reported being verbally abused by groups allegedly buying laughing gas from the shop.
You may also want to watch:
The newsagent is one of several in the borough to face police raids and the loss of its licence since Tower Hamlets council launched its No Laughing Matter campaign two years ago.
Last year Tanim Superstore in Limehouse was stripped of its licence and closed down after it was accused of selling the gas to children as young as 14 and having 13,500 canisters in the shop during a police raid.
The council cleared 1.2 million of the silver nitrous oxide canisters off its streets in its first six months.
Staff have also been going into schools to teach children about the dangers of inhaling the gas and encouraging residents to report shops suspected of selling it.
Inhaling laughing gas caused 25 fatalities between 2010 and 2016, the latest Office of National Statistics figures show.
The drug can constrict the throat and damage the lungs, researchers have found.
Police asked the council's licensing committee to revoke 24/7 Off Licence's licence to sell alcohol at the meeting on Tuesday night, September 17.
A shop spokesman told the committee: "The police used the term 'hidden'. This is not appropriate. The safe was locked and only the manager had the key. The canisters were for his own personal use. We do not sell them to customers."

MiamiHerald: "Burnout Paradise blazes into the sandbox game category with its open-world design, similar to the game play of Test Drive. There are 250 miles of open road to discover and how you do that is up to you. But basic flaws in its interface damage the driving experience.
You begin the game with a learner's permit customized for your photo. To upgrade your license, you need to win events throughout the city. There are 120 unique events, including races, road rage, marked man, stunt run and burning route. You can start a new event at every intersection in the city".
What a poor review, the first 7 paragraphs weren't even reviewing the game they were just telling you what happens in the game and how it works.
I don't think anyone will care about this review, especially coming from the Miami Herald, despite me not liking 1up, I'd take it's 9/10 over the two and a half stars this shoddy reviewer gave it.
I played the demo and the driving and stuff was great. Other than the graphical improvements and open map it feels pretty much like any other Burnout game, which is a bit sad. But the map was sh#t. There was no option to make it static, so instead it turns as you turn your car which made me very disoriented in races.
These flaws actually sound pretty serious if true. I'll wait and see what other reviewers have to say about it.
