This last week I saw the performance from the Oakland-based Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company performance of hip-hop, modern, and aerial dance, theater, martial arts rap and song titled "Free: Voices from beyond the curbside."
The youth themselves wrote about issues that they face today including a sensitive and moving section on child sexual abuse. The young people describe how they may get trapped into believing that women are sexual objects for men, how homophobic name calling hurts, and how rape and abuse are common place.
I watched this production as both a proud parent (my son is in the company) and as a sexual violence preventionist. What I loved was how the young people did not only talk about the problems, but clearly stated the solutions they wanted: equal rights for women, safety in their community, respect for others and the earth itself.
This is a great opportunity to be inspired and strengthen out hope in today's youth as tomorrow's leaders. Click here to purchase tickets for this weekend's performances.

Found in Ancient Indian Scriptures and texts: From ancient times, the power of Holy Rudraksha beads have been scripted in various religious texts like ShivmahaPurana, Shreemaddevibhagwat, Padma Purana, ling Purana, Ashtamalikopnishad, Nirnayasindhoo, Mantramaharnava, Mahakaal Sanmhita, Rudrakshajabalopnishad, Vrihajjabalopnishad, Shivaswarodaya and Sarvollastantra.
As per ancient Indian scriptures mentioned above Rudraksha is evolved from the eyes of Lord Shiva hence, it's called Rudraksha. Rudra means Shiva and Aksha means eyes. Aksha also means a group of alphabets in Sanskrit called Varna). As per details found in Halayudh Kosha(Ancient Scripture) letters from A to ksha that is 51 letters are called Aksha . Therefore, Rudraksha can be called as a seed in which a group of Sanskrit letters called Varna reside
As per details found in the Purana there are fourteen kinds of Rudraksha, which are called Mukhi or faceted Rudraksha. Mukhi or faces of Rudraksha are deep lines found on the surface of the Rudraksha from bottom to the top hole. The number of these lines decides about the type or Mukhi Rudraksha. For example, if a Rudraksha has three such lines it is called 3 Mukhi or 3 face Rudraksha.Other handwritten Scriptures found with various saints narrate the properties of 1 to 21 Mukhi Rudraksha. It is believed that these beads were available in the ancient time from 1 to 108 Mukhi. Now they have become most rare Natural thing

The Rockland Commissioner of Health directed officials yesterday to find out where a Jewish group was planning on holding its annual chicken ritual and to meet with organizers to try to prevent the unsanitary conditions that have led to fines in the past.
"Let's get in touch with them and see what the plan is," Commissioner Joan Facelle directed health inspectors at the monthly meeting of the Board of Health.
Health officials told Facelle that no one from the Jewish community had approached them with a date and location for the annual ceremony involving live chickens.
A Monsey man who organizes the ceremony for Ramapo's large Jewish population has been fined three years in a row for not adequately cleaning up chicken entrails, feces, carcasses, feet and blood in kapparot ceremonies in Monsey.
Much of the previous years' fines remain unpaid, health officials said.
Members of the Rockland Department of Health said they have met with organizers in previous years to explain the sanitary code requirements and suggest ways to perform the ritual while still complying with regulations.
Those meetings have had little effect, health officials told Facelle.
"We meet with them ahead of time and explain what they have to do," Thomas Micelli, director of environmental health, told Facelle. "And it's still awful."

Keratin debris is tough and firm. Keratin deposit accumulate on top and also beneath the nails, thus resulting in slight discoloration and also a separation between your skin and the nail bed. If this type of build up is ignored for an extended period of time, your nails will probably split and fall off.

However, doctors used these ingredients individually, while Zetaclear homeopathic spray contains these ingredients. Thus, regardless of the type of toe nail problem you have, the homeopathic spray will help decrease all the different nail fungus symptoms. What you need to do is spray the solution beneath your tongue thrice every day. Specially formulated to deliver active ingredients right to the bloodstream, the homeopathic spray delivers instant results.

High-Yield Workplace: How Well-being Drives Learning on the Academic Campus
Image © Gensler
From faculty start-ups to perceptions of Animal House, the discussion at Gensler Chicago's most recent Dialogues panel brought an interdisciplinary lens to High-Yield Workplace. David Broz and Sarah Bader, both Principals with Gensler and Firm-wide Practice Area leaders in Education + Culture and Health + Wellness led the conversation with:
- Dr. Cristina Banks, a Senior Lecturer at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and Director of the Interdisciplinary Center for Healthy Workplaces – an incubator for improving employee well-being.
- David Schonthal, a Clinical Professor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, a Venture Catalyst at IDEO, Co-Founder and Partner at Fusion Ventures, and Co-Founder of MATTER – a multidisciplinary center for healthcare entrepreneurship.
- Lisa Currie, the Director of Health Promotion and Wellness at Northwestern University whose approach to well-being on campus derives from public health models and is based on a social-ecological framework.
Although this topic was initially posed as one that focused on time spent in the classroom or in the workspace, what emerged was a focus on time spent outside of these spaces – and how that time critically impacts working and learning.
Many of the experiences that shape who people are as individuals—such as how they work well with others and how they ultimately succeed in life—are learned outside of the classroom. The professional world is also shifting; interpersonal skills, ways of problem-solving, and creativity are not only critical but basic, fundamental tools for getting by in life and as part of the work force. Yet, somehow, the academic campus – arguably a center for innovation and thus a crucial source for many of these tools – is lagging behind.
Both David and Lisa noted the pervasive tendency among students to divorce their social existence and co-curricular responsibilities on campus from their academic trajectory. At a developmental stage particularly influenced by social norms and characterized by high-risk behaviors, many students engage in their own version of keeping up with the Joneses: partying heavily and placing enormous stress on their bodies physically while performing at exceptionally high levels academically. Thus, students don't see their behaviors and their health and well-being as having significant impact on their achievement and success.
Ironically, their decisions surrounding careers and curricula are contrastingly risk-averse, held back by their own fears of failure. Cristina likened today's college campus to a factory – in part due to the increased emphasis on conformance and assignments that can be graded objectively. As a result, there isn't value attributed to time spent on experiences that do not directly lead to academic success, and in turn, students are less likely to engage in activities just for the sake of intellectual fulfillment. David observed how infrequently people just get together to have a discourse or work on a project they find interesting, despite the perception that universities are "these playgrounds of multidisciplinary goodness."
Thought leaders in innovation like Tom Allen and Stephen Johnson have argued that these kinds of opportunities 'to just get together' are crucial ingredients for serendipitous interaction and innovative practices. So how do campuses drive a spatial and cultural shift that supports innovation, and how does this shift impact well-being?
First, how can the academic campus better foster innovation? Cristina cited Berkeley's innovation labs – blank palettes of spaces on campus that provide a place for students, faculty, and staff to come together without a specific objective. She speculated that a structural shift could make these spaces more successful, connecting them more directly to the curriculum and more deeply integrating them across campus. She also emphasized the role of serendipity: in the end, these spaces are still about getting together and the chance to see what happens as a result.
Lisa underscored the innovation that emerges from co-curricular activities. Student organizations and clubs, athletics, and initiatives provide a multitude of opportunities on campus for students to try their hand at something new, build leadership and interpersonal skills, and ultimately leave something of value behind. More importantly, it teaches them to approach innovation holistically – a lesson that will likely prove invaluable beyond their tenure on campus.
David added that a more hands-on approach is also a value-proposition: With so much content and information available online, students want to know that they're getting their money's worth. His students arrive at Kellogg with the goal to create something of value by the end of their two years, and he sees his (and the institution's) role as helping to facilitate that goal. Thus, he sees a shift happening from conveying knowledge to "how can I make this experience very hands-on."
Second, how does an environment supportive of innovation impact well-being? The group observed that the university setting offers an ideal place for a process that is purportedly critical to innovation: risk-taking, failure, and recovery afterwards. Presently, however, there's little precedent for integrating this cycle into academic curricula, and it needs to be cultivated as a way of life among students, faculty, and staff. Cristina speculated that people learn what they're made of when they endeavor to test themselves, and that campuses must not only create environments for safe risk-taking but also provide support systems to facilitate recovery.
Cultivating the risk-fail-recover process also engenders resilience – the ability to withstand a negative outcome and rise back to a certain level. From stress management to healthy eating, much of Lisa's work focuses on creating environments that support resilience, to help people anticipate situations that might trigger a negative outcome and build strategies for bouncing forward afterwards. Beyond physical and mental health, resilience is essential for confronting personal and professional challenges and thus is a critical contributor to overall well-being.
We will continue to explore the relationship between resilience and well-being in our third and final event in this series. We hope you can join us for the conversation in June to explore the emerging role of the wellness center on campus.
Held Thursday, March 20th, this event was the second in Gensler Chicago's three-part Dialogues series on Well-being on the Academic Campus. We invite you to leave your comments and feedback below to continue the conversation. For an attendee's perspective, please visit this link.

Click here for a brief tutorial on Ship and Debit Programs.
Special Pricing Agreements (SPA) have been around for a very long time. The concept is simple; a manufacturer uses their distribution channel as a vehicle to service a customer who requires very low pricing to match some commercial situation. The details of the commercial situation aren't really all that pertinent. They can arise due to customer potential, competitive pricing pressure, or supply contracts driven with large mega-corporations. The point is normal distributor margins no longer support the selling price and the distributor plays a critical role in providing some service to the customer.
In years gone by, distributors involved in these situations purchased products earmarked for the special priced customer at sub-distributor price levels. The freshly purchased (at lower than normal cost) products were either brought "into stock" to sell later or drop-shipped to the customer. But issues arose.
One common issue involved distributors using the lower price purchases to "steal" business from competitive distributors with the same product line. Simply put, they used price to undercut the legitimate work of other distributors. What's worse, is this action was done at the manufacturer's expense. Channel issue galore were the result. To illustrate the point, I will retell a story from my early days as a salesperson.
While visiting the distributor location of a friend, I noticed an inordinate amount of fuse inventory. Since fuses were not a top seller at my own location, I asked the manager how they had managed to become so successful with the product line. His answer shocked me. Apparently, the company had managed to acquire the business of a single large OEM. The manufacturer provided very low "into stock" prices to support the OEM customer and this branch used the "hot price" (their words, not mine) to get the lion's share of the business in their area. The margins were good and the other distributors struggled to keep up.
Was this illegal? In the day, it was a common practice and generally ignored by the manufacturer's sales team. Did it create issues for brand loyalty with other distributors? One can only assume that it did. Either way, I felt it was a bit unethical.
For distributors suffering from a bad case of ethics, there were other daunting problems. If playing by the rules, the distributor was forced to maintain two sets of inventory; one for the "special priced customer" and another for everybody else.
Manufacturer's addressed the issue by setting up a new program: Enter the ship and debit system.
With ship and debit programs, the distributor buys product "into stock" (or drop ships to the customer) at the "normal" distributor price. Any inventory is treated just like normal stock. Once the sale is made, a report is submitted to back to the manufacturer. The manufacturer subsequently issues a rebate credit to the distributor to cover the loss and gross margin. It sounds pretty straight forward, but the process is full of pit falls. Let's explore a few of the issues.
The distributor-side submittal process
Reporting sales results back to the manufacturer can be both time consuming and difficult. While most modern ERP systems have a mechanism for creating reports, many distributors struggle with building the reports. Further, mistakes in the system can cost the distributor in loss margin.
To help you build a better system, here are a few recommendations:
• Build a process around ship and debits – A good process includes documentation, metrics and coaching points. Investing time early allows the work to be moved to "lower level" clerical workers; freeing up the time of sales managers and others.
• Make sure your sales team knows how to identify ship and debit sales– One of the most common occurring problems comes from poor communication between distributor sales teams or distributor specialists, purchasing and the back office admin staff in accounts payable. This is not the place for informal process. Side comments and casually mentioning special pricing agreements at the water cooler will cost you company tens of thousands if not properly contained.
• Automate the process – Invest time up front to automate with your ERP system. Most times these reports can be done in-house, but spending time in the early stages will save you much heartache later.
• Build checks and balances into the process – If product is sold under a ship and debit system and not properly reported, money can be lost (see my comment on tens of thousands above). River Heights Consulting recommends monthly spot checks and bi-annual review in detail. Again, if the process is well documented, the task can be straight forward and not all that time consuming.
• Don't forget to regularly review for "disputed" invoices – Occasionally, manufacturers and distributors disagree as to precisely what is to be rebated. These become hung up in the credit departments of the manufacturer. Never let these ride for longer than 60 days.
On the manufacturer end
In order to be a good distributor partner, manufacturers need to follow a few simple guidelines of their own. These will cut down on future issues and ultimately allow the distributor to better serve your customers. Here's a short list for your consideration:
• Establish a policy for your field salespeople, manufacturer's agencies and others to follow in administering ship and debit programs – Experience dictates salespeople often lack the time and/or discipline to carefully handle ship and debit record keeping. I suggest devising a plan for quickly disengaging sales teams from the details of the plan.
• Process the rebate information in 30 days – Respect the distributor's investment. Since distributors typically submit at the end of the month, they have already lost the use of their money for 30 days. Adding another 60 or 90 days to the process of recouping their margins places undue stress on the distributor's cash flow.
• Simplify your reporting requirements – You aren't the only manufacturer to whom the distributor will be submitting reports. Make your reporting requirements simple. The ERP systems of some distributors allow for specifically formatted reports, however many do not. We typically suggest the exchange of Excel files which can be formatted for automated entry into your own systems.
• Build a plan to handle "disputed" items quickly – The sooner these items can be handled the better. Typically, the cause of many of these come via lack of attention to detail in the sales departments of both organizations.
The practice is exploding
We have noticed a near exponential growth in the use of Special Pricing Agreements. The Electrical Wholesaling industry alone has experienced 400-500% growth since the end of the last recession. Special Pricing Agreements have become part of the strategic plan for many distributors. One of our clients calls them "the new exclusive agreements" and certainly many larger national chains have picked up on how to use the agreements as an offensive weapon. If your company hasn't seen an increase in SPAs and experienced growth in the use of ship and debit, I suggest you inspect. Allow me to explain why.
In 2012, we did a straw poll of distributors and manufacturers who serve the Electrical, Automation, Power Transmission and Fluid Power Industry. All noted marked increase in use of Special Pricing Agreements. This is probably not major news, but the next point will shock you. Several manufacturers' sales managers, candidly shared that requests for Special Pricing Agreements are part of the criteria they use for measuring the aggressiveness of a distributor's sales force. Forget solution selling, throw out value-metric arguments; these guys gauge you on how many times you come to them for lower than normal prices. Hmmm….
Finally, to illustrate the interest in Ship and Debit Programs – below is the raw data on search results landing people onto this blog. Based on 25,000 visits during 2013, here are the numbers for individual searches on Ship and Debit information. We think it's pretty interesting:
- ship and debit 911
- ship and debit definition 249
- ship and debit process 207
- ship & debit 127
- what is ship and debit 48
- ship and debit wikipedia 28
- distributor channel 25
- "ship and debit" 23
- ship and debit program 23
- ship and debit model 16
We know many other people are looking into how to implement their own Ship and Debit process. We have assisted many of them in establishing the right kind of process. If you happen to be working on developing a strategy for your own organization, shoot me an email. We can typically get you headed in the right direction in pretty short order.

When I had my shop in Helena, a great customer, Jeanine, had me paint a collection of ornate frames, mirrors, and tin for her daughter's college apt. at Auburn. Here's a picture of the collection:
Paint is an inexpensive way to recycle and pass items on in the family!
Here are some new frames in my space at Shoppe Serendipity!

All the elements for a great lacrosse rivalry are there. The two schools are less than two miles apart, and their respective coaches and athletic directors are close friends. One is the model club, the other a recent power. It's Loyola vs. Johns Hopkins. No. 1 against No. 2. Or No. 2 against No. 1, depending on which poll you read.
The schools feel it could draw 7,000 fans. Economically, it's a sound investment for both schools. Realistically, it may not happen this year, but it's a definite for next season.
Barring a postseason matchup, Johns Hopkins (3-0) and Loyola (5-0) won't meet until a regular-season game scheduled for next April. That contest would be the first of a four-game series.

circles – nonmammals
dots – mammals
x – apes
heh… goldfish are dum.
This doesn't make much sense…everthing is just going in a slanted line…it's basically telling us that brains are smaller then the size of something.
I think the idea is to compare brain mass to body mass of various members of the animal kingdom. You can see that the apes and humans have the largest brain masses for their overall body mass.
What's also interesting, though it does not show this explicitly, is that you can also see how brain mass affects intelligence. You'll notice some of the most intelligent creatures are at the top of the scale, like apes, humans, dolphins, etc.

The archaeological potential of river valleys where archaeological remains are blanketed under colluvium and alluvium has again been demonstrated by the excavation of one, perhaps two, waterlogged timber 'jetties' or causeways at Testwood Lakes, Rownhams, Hampshire. The site, which is thought to be of Bronze Age date, The timbers were buried by gravels and it was only when these had been removed that the character of the site, and the fact that there were two alignments was apparent. Until very recently the water level in the development area was high, only being lowered artificially within the last two years to allow the excavation of the artificial lakes. Consequently although desiccation of the site had begun prior to its excavation, the dramatic deterioration seems to have started comparatively recently, and the major timbers at least were still preserved.
The site lies hard against the edge of the floodplain and the mains elements of the site are two broadly parallel alignments of timbers, each essentially comprised of rows of paired timbers', 1.2 to 1.5 metres apart. Most of the vertical timbers had been truncated, but a few which had fallen over in antiquity are almost complete and nearly 4 metres long. One alignment of vertical timbers (structure 351) runs out from the edge of the floodplain and although it is only 1.1 metres long, it projects beyond the first alignment. Both structures were truncated by an old channel, perhaps a former course of the River Blackwater, which now flows c. 250 metres to the east. The tops of the timbers of the second structure are about I metre lower than those of the first one, which hints that they are of different dates rather than being different elements of the same structure.
The upper gravel deposits contain Late Iron Age or Romano British pottery, but the silts beneath one of the structures yielded a complete Middle Bronze Age rapier. There was no trace of any handle or sheath for the weapon, which may date to the 15th century BC. The juxtaposition of the structure and the rapier could be fortuitous, but this is thought to be unlikely and a date in the Bronze Age is supported by other strands of evidence. The well preserved vertical timbers bear extensive traces of metal tool marks comparable to those from Flag Fen, while other types of worked timbers include a single fragment probably from a plank sewn boat.
The presence at Testwood Lakes of a fragment of a cleat, perhaps from a plank sewn boat comparable to those from the broadly contemporary North Ferriby and Dover boats may be related to the discovery of fragments of similar vessels from esturine sites at Caldicot and Goldcliff, Gwent. This suggests that the structures at Testwood Lakes should be seen in the wider coastal context of the Solent and the seaboard of the English Channel. In addition to the palaeo-enviromnental assessment, further studies will also be undertaken on the contemporary sea levels.

As hard as BioWare has tried, the Dragon Age games have never quite been able to eclipse the company's past triumphs. The Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Mass Effect series not only evinced the developer's ability to break new ground, but build off features that made the properties so cherished in the first place. Dragon Age: Origins, from 2009, had its fair share of problems, but was so involving in its avant-garde approach to the classic fantasy RPG that its pros outweighed its cons. The 2011 sequel, Dragon Age II, while not an outright disaster, fumbled by committing a certain notorious trope; switching up the art style, limiting scope, tampering with the battle system, axing character races, and leaning more toward a Mass Effect-in-Middle-earth energy by adding a conversation wheel in a half-hearted attempt to establish a moral compass, yet the game's ending was essentially the same no matter how you behaved.
Thankfully, the third time's the charm with Dragon Age: Inquisition, a colossal, excessively detailed culmination of five years' worth of trial and error. This is the kind of adventure BioWare has always wanted Dragon Age to be: a free-of-restraints quest for glory in a war-torn land, and a splendid mixture of relationship building, seemingly endless exploration, and combat that combines the best elements from Origins and Dragon Age II to create something fresh and consistently natural.
Nearly everything about Inquisition feels monumental. From the expansive environments to the vast number of activities that can be accomplished at any given juncture, there's nothing about the game that can be described as "small-scale." The main story, while not overwhelmingly original, is endearingly entertaining, pulling your emotions in various directions as you deal with the consequences of actions both split-second and long thought upon. Inquisition has a much more open-ended vibe than either Origins or Dragon Age II, making each decision carry sizable weight; the choices you make don't just affect things in the moment, but, more often than not, a ways down the road.
After an explosive introductory sequence that leaves you the sole survivor of a cataclysmic bombardment, branded with a mysterious mark and able to vanquish devious otherworldly rifts, you're seated atop a throne with a significant amount of authority. The crux of Inquisition, and what routinely makes it such an exhaustively encompassing endeavor, is what you do with your newly attained power. No matter how many people you strive to satisfy, there will always be those who turn their backs on you. The process of earning respect is a key aspect of the game; establishing your team with only the most loyal companions is a tricky task among many other demanding objectives.
Once you've dipped into the game's heavily customizable odds and ends, and made decent strides in the core campaign, you'll soon realize just how much there is to do and see in Thedas and its many regions. Progression is tracked by acquiring points in various hubs and their surrounding areas, unlocking missions (and an elephantine checklist of supplemental content) as you go. The world of Inquisition is so massive that venturing into unknown territories is common. The distractions come fast and furious, from optional dungeons to creature poaching and puzzle-solving, and there's rarely a situation where you'll find yourself wandering around in search of an expedition, as you're always seemingly in the midst of one. It doesn't hurt that the game is so visually elegant, with very few graphical hiccups (objects popping into frame, some unstable animations on the battlefield) to speak of. The impressive Frostbite 3 engine again proves its worth instantaneously during initial cinematics and later with more nuanced artistry like the subtle expressions on characters' faces.
Following over 95 hours of gameplay with Inquisition, it still gives the impression of hardly having scratched its surface. Sure, there are drawbacks that regularly raise eyebrows: Its dialogue can be a bit cheesy, and its narrative turns comparatively cliché, but the bulk of what BioWare has produced here easily stands alongside their unapologetically admired releases. A thoughtful multiplayer mode is a pleasant enough way to get real-life friends in on the dragon-slaying festivities, but, in all likelihood, you'll want to return to the personal realm you've forged with utmost urgency, because there's oh-so much more to do, and nary enough hours in the day to see it all done.

"Sue truly cares about her clients! She is professional and works with integrity.
Why do I recommend Sue?
I am from South Africa and used to very high standards and cleanliness from my nail technician. I am also trained as a nail technician and I was appalled by the so called "nail technicians" in the shopping centres. Not only are they unprofessional but they are not trained! They basically use clients to train on and worse of all as a client you are expected to pay for an untrained person to damage your nails and with toxic nail products!
You have no idea what products they use as most products are not openly displayed or are in unmarked containers. No qualifications are displayed or technicians names? You would not go to a doctor without knowing their skills?!
Sue provides advice when nails are damaged. She soaks off nail products to ensure nails are not damaged. She takes time to provide professional advice.
Ladies if you truly care about yourself, then do some research and start using professional people. Also if you are truly Australian then support your locals.
Sue did not open a shop over night. She has years of experience; is a diamond and I'm so glad to call her my friend. Because only a friend cares as much as Sue does!"

Ulrich Sieber / Nicolas von zur Mühlen (eds.)
Access to Telecommunication Data in Criminal Justice
A Comparative Analysis of European Legal Orders
771 Seiten; Berlin, 2016.
Dieses Buch ist erschienen in der Reihe Strafrechtliche Forschungsberichte, herausgegeben von Ulrich Sieber.
Bestelldaten:ISBN: 978-3-86113-796-2 (Max-Planck-Institut)
Preis: 58 EUR
Access to telecommunication data is an essential and powerful investigative tool in criminal justice. At the same time, the interception of such data can seriously affect individual privacy. This is true not only with respect to content data but with respect to traffic data as well. The legal instruments and provisions that allow the gathering of these data are primarily the traditional rules on the interception of telecommunication based on the cooperation duties of telecommunication providers. In addition, access to telecommunication data can also be granted by rules on remote forensic software, by search and seizure of – temporarily or permanently – stored data, and (esp. in cases of traffic and subscriber data) by production orders demanding the delivery of stored data.
The rules governing these interception techniques vary considerably among the national legal orders. These differences are not only most interesting from the perspective of fundamental research in the area of comparative criminal law but also for practical reasons, such as identifying best practices and evaluating the scope of international cooperation.
This publication provides a comparative analysis dealing with the commonalities and differences of these rules on interception and other means of access to telecommunication data. It also includes country reports on the following European legal orders on which this comparison is based: Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

So those who overcame one addiction had less than half the chance of developing a new SUD as compared to those who never remitted from their initial SUD?
Is that correct? If so, it would speak more to the person learning from their experience and perhaps not being willing to try new substances, rather than their actually experimenting with new substances and finding out that lo and behold they didn't get addicted to that (italicized). People with SUD's who never remit are obviously more likely to try other substances to the point of possible addiction as they have never achieved recovery from their first SUD and do not have the requisite coping skills, medication, support, etc that would be protective. If anything, this study speaks to the higher likelihood of cross-addiction in the abscence of prior remission, rather than any kind of disproof of the old cross-addiction theory. I think there is meaningful data in the study, but the manner in which it is presented seems to be slanted towards beating the dead horse of an old argument that nobody gives a shit about anyways. You ask anybody with any amount of sobriety if it would be foolish to try a substance if they were never addicted to it, and they would most likely tell you and your interpretation of the data to take a proverbial hike. Most people who have remitted are not scared so much as developing a new SUD as they are by any alteration in consciousness with any drug will increase the odds they will return to that one substance they did have a problem with in the past. Have there been any studies on what has happened to 'remitters' who have tried novel substances to see if they returned to their original SUD. That is perhaps the most prevalent and realistic fear among 12-step abstinence-based programs. Let's not use data to win old arguments but rather think about what it does or does not say and what possibly more meaningful questions can be asked in the future.

So i'm learning to spell and write again. so please forgive my writing. When it comes to self rating anything I have trouble accepting it as reliable research. I will tell you my incounters with AA and therapy. I tried AA maybe 10 times and have been in therapy for more than 10 or 12 years Most of my sponsors discounted what my therapist said. You need to know first that I wouldn't talk to a therapist unless they were in recovery. How could somebody understand what an addict goes through unless they are one. So I was forced to pick who to work with and thats my sponsor because i was with him all the time. I was forced to go to therapy and to groups at the behavioral health department i was going to in order to get my medication. My sponsors weren't very interested in my 12 step program. They would just ask if I had a sponsor and how many times a week I went. I never found therapy to be of any help in my life. But AA promised if I did what they said I would be sober. It never work They wanted me to write out my steps and I couldn't write They couldn't understand that and I didn't know I was injured till much later. I was in an accident while I worked for the fire department . I walked into a toxic gas and when I was removed I had complete expressive aphasia. I don't think the counclers were the right people to rate their credibility with their client.

I think a 50/50 chance of developing a new addiction is far above the national average for drug addiction for those who have not had an SUD. This article is saying that the chances are statistically high (50% vs say 7-9% for nat avg) for a drug user to develop a new addiction after remittance. An absitent addict faces 50/50 odds when deciding to use substances outside of their original class of drug addiction. Those sound like roulette odds, Russian roulette would have a lower chance of impairing ones life significantly...according to the evidence presented here. Not sure it would be worth the risk to experiment with different drugs for the remitted. email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154923121857389373.post-21427837182860046522014-09-26T23:24:39.256-05:002014-09-26T23:24:39.256-05:00I wonder if the wine drinker relapsed from believi...I wonder if the wine drinker relapsed from believing in a shame fueled ideology of a disease over which they have no control (AA), or the wine drinker's cognitive immunity was decreased and they lost control and drank to much......?cmwhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154923121857389373.post-60207212105753112442014-09-25T23:15:38.065-05:002014-09-25T23:15:38.065-05:00In visiting rehabs for my book, Inside Rehab, a pr...In visiting rehabs for my book, Inside Rehab, a prominent 12-step-based rehab insisted use of ANY substances was problematic and basically considered a relapse. I asked its research dept several times for supporting evidence and received no reply. Sad that patients keep being fed unsupported information that can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. E.g., wine was never a problem for someone who recovered from opioid dependence but he has a drink and figures he blew it (relapsed) and may as well use drugs again.

Although I do believe in the syndromal model where multiple manifestations are possible, I also believe that once the addictive disorder is resolved then the manifestations will not switch to new drugs or activity. Where I have my doubts is when remission is regarded purely as abstinence from the substance of choice without considering other life dimensions. For me abstinence is one of the least reliable indicators of recovery from an addictive disorder, rather quality of relationships and social integration are the true indicators, in my opinion. Will read the study over the weekend.Shaun Shellyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154923121857389373.post-1684686977864597972014-09-17T09:36:37.648-05:002014-09-17T09:36:37.648-05:00"Cross Addictions," are always an issue in that h..."Cross Addictions," are always an issue in that humans have a tendency to do the wrong thing.

I believe treatment outcomes and abstinence rates from SUD would improve if these patients resided in a setting remote from the people, places and things associated with their addiction. Those addicted to methamphetamine often experience protracted dysphoria, fatigue, and craving following cessation, and may be especially vulnerable to environmental cues. I wonder if any studies have prospectively followed patients treated for SUD with pharma, psychsocial or both as outpatients to compare outcomes of those remaining in their neighborhood vs. those who lived in a sober residence or apartment away from their old environment.

It's also not surprising. While the pharmacodynamics of heroin and prescription opioids are generally similar, the pharmacokinetics of IV heroin use results in greater reward and reinforcement, and perhaps more durable post-acute withdrawal phenomenon including drug craving that requires a more aggressive approach to promote abstinence. It may also be possible that some folks preferentially gravitate to heroin on the basis of pre-existing psychiatric or psychosocial factors, which also complicate recovery and elevate relapse risk.

This varied group includes synthetic cannabinoids; analogs of cathinone, methcathinone, and MDMA (ecstasy); other hallucinogenic and mixed hallucinogen/stimulant/entactogenic derivatives and analogs of phenethylamine; Kratom and Salvia divinorum; the ketamine analog methoxetamine, and others. These are bought from Internet sources, and sometimes OTC as the constituents of products sold as Spice, Bath Salts and the like, although most of the original unregulated molecules in these products are now banned by the DEA. I'm surprised heroin use has not risen more prominently; this is most certainly due to time factor lag between data collecting and availability/reporting.

During the 1950s-60s LSD studies, the failure to consider the importance of set and setting for LSD subjects, the lack of modern-day study design or careful patient selection, and governmental misuse through the CIA MK-ULTRA project and others gave LSD, as a therapeutic, no lack of baggage. It also acquired a reputation for unpredictability. This study shows that with intelligent design (that's study design!!), the therapeutic potential of LSD can be harnessed and the liabilities minimized. Two populations thought to especially benefit from LSD therapy in the 1950s were career criminals and chronic alcoholics. One of the 2 co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill Wilson, also saw with LSD the potential of reaching and changing through spiritual epiphany chronic severe alcoholics who did not respond to AA. Wilson also experimented with LSD several times. Few seem to appreciate the broad-minded and visionary traits reflected by this.

Mark makes a number of valid points. In fairness, the basis of opposition to this approach among some in 12-step recovery comes from their own transformational experience and the wish to not deprive any addict seeking recovery of the depth of growth and change they've had. This is well-meaning but misguided in that medication-assisted and 12-step based recovery are not mutually exclusive, many are unable or unwilling to immerse themselves in a 12-step program, and the lethality potential of opiate relapse compels the search for alternative approaches as discussed in this article. As Dan Cain commented, methadone and buprenorphine clearly induce an immediate opioid effect especially during the initial dose adjustment, and they are certainly drugs of abuse in their own right. However, they are not sought by opioid addicts if they have access to other opioids. Persons I have interacted with who were receiving either methadone or buprenorphine maintenance (after stable dosing is achieved) have not seemed impaired, buzzed, or experiencing a drug effect. Methadone has also been increasingly used in the treatment of chronic pain, and is very effective for some forms. However, methadone use in pain patients is very tricky owing to its pharmacology: Pain relief can last 5-8 hours while in some patients the half-life is 72 hours or longer. Numerous prescription and OTC drugs can further slow its clearance from the body; these and other factors account for the fatality risk when used as a painkiller which is incentivized by its ultra-low cost to third-party payers and health plans. Pain patients cannot be compared with opioid addicts on the dimension of safety because unlike pain patients, the patients that Mark describes have undergone long-term and possibly permanent alteration in brain function from the chronic presence of opioids. However, having said all this, I would really like to research try to identify patients in treatment for opiate addiction who possess the capacity to either not require, or only require short-term stabilization and then taper with buprenorphine or methadone, assuming they involve themselves in some form of recovery program.

As an author who spent 10 years researching addiction treatment and recovery for 2 different books (Inside Rehab and Sober for Good) I have to say that Dr. Willenbring's views are supported by countless studies and leading experts in the field. To say medication maintenance treatment isn't "real recovery" is sad and like saying that overweight people with Type 2 diabetes who are on insulin are "cheating." It would be great if we had medications as effective as Suboxone and methadone to help people with addictions to other drugs and alcohol, but we don't - at least not yet. If we really view addiction as an illness, disorder, or disease, why shouldn't it be treated that way? Instead, people who are strong-armed to believe that "complete abstinence" is "the way" are often made to feel ashamed if they begin using drugs again. That's when they may be found dead on hotel room floors.Anne Fletcherhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154923121857389373.post-8821003418267897002014-01-30T11:38:19.176-06:002014-01-30T11:38:19.176-06:00This is some great info, thank you for posting!

Characterisation of gold ores by X-ray computed tomography - Part 1: Software for calibration and quantification of mineralogical phases
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) is an X-ray imaging technique that produces highresolution 3D computerised 'virtual' models of geological specimens based on the X-ray attenuation of different materials in the specimen. The 'virtual' specimens are made up of voxels, the 3D equivalent of pixels, each assigned a gray value based on X-ray absorption. Micro-CT has enormous potential for allowing non-destructive, digital analysis of structure and composition when the mineralogical phases can be digitally separated. However, variation in X-ray flux between scans results in highly variable grayscale values for identical materials. Consequently, materials usually have to be segmented manually, which is subjective, inaccurate, labour-intensive and time consuming. Here we present a protocol and imaging software package that can be used to accurately and precisely extract quantifiable information in a repeatable and objective fashion. The software will allow the separation, visualisation, measurement and analysis of spatial and volumetric distribution of different mineral phases without damaging the specimen. This paper explains the potential use of this protocol and software package to ultimately allow automatic segmentation and quantification of gold in drill core samples, removing subjectivity and inaccuracies from data processing.

Many fine films have been made about boys plying their trade on the streets, none of which appear in this latest Boys Briefs anthology. Tony Krawitz's Into the Night shows us that hustlers and johns have feelings like the rest of us, a similar point pounded out by Gigolo, which replaces Krawitz's movie-of-the-week banality with Euro-art pretense—it's 8½ after catching a venereal disease from Madonna's "Erotica" video. Sample dialogue from Bastian Schweitzer's short includes, "I feel guilty but I forgot the reason." The general idea here seems to be that loveless splooging effects our short-term memory, but in Boy the damage goes deeper. A better name for this strange mélange of Quay-like grotesqueries, Russellesque shocks to the cosmos, music video affectations (the work of Samuel Bayer and Tarsem comes to mind), and dialogue that's written on the wind might have been Instituta Fagamenta. It's all rather random but you can't accuse director Welby Ings of not having balls. Build has the whole package—cute guys, good acting, and a significant through-line—but its overriding metaphor courts heavy-handedness. Rock Bottom hits, perhaps appropriately, the bottom of this anthology's barrel, a laughably acted short about an overweight john who brings a cute tweeker back to his place for some nookie. Director Mary Feuer lays on the suspense thick, but the worst of it comes when Billy goes for Jason's lips, treading the same point as Into the Night that hustlers don't kiss on the mouth because that's just, like, too real, man. From the good (Build) to the bad (Gold, about an almost-blind sugar daddy who paints vicariously though his kept boy), the unimaginative gist of these shorts seems to be that gay men don't have very many options besides hooking should their real ambitions threaten to fail them. If that were true, we would have turned Slant Magazine into a bordello years ago.
