Now paraplegic following his severed spinal cord, he narrated how he was unlawfully arrested on February 16, taken to the SARS head office at Ikeja, stripped naked and brutalised in a torture chamber.
Hearing by the Lagos State Panel of Judicial Inquiry into complaints of human rights violations by men of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad continued on Tuesday with a trader, Ndukwe Ekekwe, narrating how he was tortured by operatives of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
Ekekwe, who appeared before the retired Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel alongside his aged mother, Mrs Nnena, relived the harrowing details of how he broke his spine in 2018 when policemen threw him off a two-storey shopping complex at Alaba Market.
Now paraplegic following his severed spinal cord, he narrated how he was unlawfully arrested on February 16, taken to the SARS head office at Ikeja, stripped naked and brutalised in a torture chamber.
"I asked them what my crime was, but none of them told me.
"Other traders in the shopping complex asked the same question of the police officers.
"When the people gathering are too much, they ire teargas and shot into the air to scare people away," he said.
He recounted that when he got to the police station, he was taken to the torture room and brutalised by some other police officers in the station.
He added that the operatives went back with him the next day to his three shops at Alaba, broke the doors open with hammers and were selling off his goods.
He said when he challenged the officers, the leader of the team asked his subordinates to keep him busy.
"When their leader asked them to keep me busy, they took me upstairs and one of them threw me down.
"I passed out and I met myself at the hospital by the time I regained my consciousness," he added.
The trader said he was never told the reason for his arrest.
The Chairperson of the panel admitted hospital documents, X-rays, telephone numbers of the indicted officers and other documents tendered by the petitioners as exhibits.
She, thereafter, adjourned proceedings in petition to November 13 2020.
The judicial panel, which began hearing last Tuesday, is also probing the shootings of October 20, 2020 at the Lekki Toll Gate where eyewitnesses said uniformed men opened fire on #EndSARS protesters, killings an unconfirmed number of persons.

Genre pictures are, by definition, less demanding — of the cast, who are playing archetypes, and of the audience, who share their knowledge of the conventions and tropes these films traffic in , with the filmmakers.
But because crime thrillers, nut-with-a-knife horror movies, combat films, Westerns and the like are so very familiar, you've got to raise the bar on those tropes and action beats just to surprise and impress us.
"Stratton" is a special forces thriller that fails to do that. The idea of making a Navy SEALs movie built around Britain's version of those elite warriors, the "Special Boat Service," got action veteran Simon West ("Lara Croft: Tomb Raider") and stars Dominic Cooper ("An Education," "Need for Speed") and Austin Stowell ("Colossal," "Whiplash") interested.
It landed Connie Nielsen as Brit-intelligence's "M" this time out, Derek Jacobi as the "old salt" pal of our hero and the great Thomas Kretschmann as its villain, with Tom Felton along for good measure.
And there's just nothing to it, nothing surprising anyway.
Cooper has the title role, a scuba-diving soldier who loses a close mate on a mission to destroy a nerve gas factory in the Middle East. It was a joint operation, allowing Stratton to make "Join the Navy, see the world" jokes, only to be corrected by that American pal (Tyler Hoechlin) for stealing the U.S. Navy's advertising motto.
But that factory penetration (swimming up big water pipes, etc.) and extraction didn't pay off. Everybody there was already dead, and a master assassin of Russian origin (Kretschmann of "The Pianist") took the poison and took out that pal.
Time to buck up, get a little pep talk from the geezer who lives on the boat a few slips down in the Thames marina (Jacobi), accept new orders from the chief (Nielsen) and chase down the missing WMD with another Yank (Stowell).
The American has motives beyond his "You go where you feel you can do the most good." The fact that he says this while inexplicably wearing his medal-bedecked dress blues doesn't make it any more convincing.
Gemma Chan plays the Julia Stiles or Naomie Harris role in this "Bourne/Bond," the beautiful field-capable agent on tech duty in support of our team as it ventures to Rome and beyond, hunting the villain Borovsky (Kretschmann), "the most dangerous man I've ever met," a villain with a grudge.
"I WILL have my REVENGE!" Like that needed saying.
There are drones, a double-decker London bus chase and occasional calls to "Cowboy up" from the American, meaning "Draw yer weapon, boy. The Russkies are pulling a fast one!"
Jacobi twinkles, Nielsen fixes one and all with a steely stare and Kretschmann, condemned to such roles by his German accent, always gives fair value.
It's just all so played. Even the shootouts and chases feel like they're unfolding at half-speed, at least partly because we've seen this gag before more times than we can recall.
They might have been better served making the whole enterprise more British (there's no buddy chemistry between the leads) and letting the rest of the world realize that yes, the Americans have their SEALS, but we've got Special Forces, and this Special Boat Service thing.
But that would have relied even more upon Cooper, and he brings little of the spark he's shown elsewhere to this tired, half-hearted genre flop.

The second missing booklet is for body repairs to the Cabrio model. It too may have that information incorporated into the Body/Collision repair manual in this set.
Like many manufacturers, VW may have planned for more information but found it to be duplication of previously published information. One of the manual transmission service booklets does not have a blue binder for some reason. Otherwise, it is a complete set.
There are 25 different service/repair manuals in this set plus a separate binder that contains hundreds of wiring diagrams for troubleshooting and diagnosis of ALL of the electrical components for the Golf, Jetta and Cabrio models. This manual set is VERY thorough, with hundreds of illustrations, maybe thousands?
Charts and diagrams for troubleshooting and repair procedures. I have included photos of several pages from the series dealing with engine repairs, diesel injection pump service, transmission repair, front suspension components and air conditioner compressor. This is just to give you a glimpse of how extensive this manual set is. If you are a Volkswagen tech, an independent repair shop owner or an individual who would like to have complete information about your own car, this set should provide you exactly what you need. Occasionally you may encounter a greasy fingerprint or grease spot on a page, after all, this is a USED service set.The item "VW Golf/Jetta Factory Service/Repair Manual Published by VW New Price 12/30/19" is in sale since Thursday, October 10, 2019.

What to Think About When Creating Comprehensive Neighborhoods Online
Creating for accessibility may take a lot more intentionality than you're accustomed to. However, a new area on an innovative brief or a brand-new box on your list can bring about an involved target market you've never ever encountered before.
Part of creating an inclusive neighborhood on Instagram, Pinterest, or any type of social media is thinking about how people with various specials needs access the content.
Platforms are starting to develop equity teams to better understand the demands of individuals with disabilities, so the tools readily available to you are continuously changing.
However, those devices only aid if you empathize with the experience of individuals with impairments and also comprehend how the devices work to enhance their experience.
" Content creators ought to always take into consideration just how their fans– including customers with hearing and/or vision handicaps– are mosting likely to involve with their content, specifically visual aspects like photos as well as videos.
If you're going to upload an image, make sure you compose alt text for it so any individual using a display viewers can access it. And naturally, videos must always be captioned to make them available for deaf and also hard-of-hearing individuals." -Alexa Heinrich
Social network systems aren't taking these suggestions gently. As an example, Pinterest took a big step in 2018 when they strengthened screen reader support, improved color contrast sensitivity, and added focus indicators to improve the user experience for visually impaired users.
Meanwhile, Facebook and Instagram recently added automatic captioning to video content.
Still, the steps platforms are taking are not enough to absolve businesses from responsibility.
We owe our community great content that they can consume, no matter what tools or resources they use. This is especially crucial on primarily visual platforms like Pinterest and Instagram, where most content still may not be accessible for certain communities.

What does one have to do with the other? Well, my church has decided that we are going to participate in this ride, which is basically Frisco TX to Ft. Worth TX over 2 days.
I was invited to participate in the Plano Cycling team but as a poverty-stricken bike blogger I'm going to need some assistance from people that have money, i.e. Not Me.
One of the things that has been discussed is creating a way to use the church's PayPal account to collect online donations for this. Another thing that was discussed was my using this venue to promote both my doing this and my church, which I think is a great idea. Sacred Journey Fellowship does a lot for the community, but most of what gets done happens behind the scenes away from the glare of publicity and we have gotten a reputation of not doing a lot of charity work, when actually we have several ongoing charity projects pumping steady cash and goods to our partner organizations. This time we want to let people know about it. Everyone thinks I'm going to be doing the "hard job" of riding the bike and posting about it in my blog. HA! The hard part for me will be the getting in front of people to raise money, the 150 mile bike ride is my reward for surviving the fund raising. As a minimum I have to get $325 to cover my registration and bare-bones fundraising for MS, naturally I would prefer to get substantially more than that.
My long-term goal for this is to start a Witch on a Bicycle team, with jerseys and everything, maybe in a couple of years. We could do a picture of Gigi on the jersey… or maybe not. While part of that would be about promoting the blog, part of it is a sincere desire to help people. That's what this whole dang shooting match is about, helping people. I help by telling about wrecks, and what you can do to avoid getting hit in the same situation. I help by pointing out infrastructure projects that will work, and also when they are a colossal waste of time and money. And if this goes through I will help by raising money for deadly diseases by riding bicycles. I can see eventually doing the MS 150 in the spring, and the Livestrong Challenge in the fall without impacting the regular work of this blog too much, or messing with what passes for my "normal" life.
So, training for the ride. I do a bunch of short rides on Blue, just about every day, but I don't do any kind of extended long rides very often. When I do long rides my ability to withstand the pain in my backside from the seat on Blue is more the limit on my endurance than my aerobic or physical endurance. maybe if I could install the same kind of seat I had on Gigi my butt would stop being the limiting factor of my bike rides. "Butt" for the time being I have to live with the seat I have. In the meantime I really need to work on my ability to make long rides in the 50-75 mile range, in any kind of weather. The best way I can think of to do that would be to ride up TX 78 to Farmersville, which is about 65 miles round trip, until I can do it regularly with minimal stopping. There are several turn-around points on that ride that allow me to tailor the ride from 16 miles to more than 70 if I decide to go as far as the TX 121 junction, to more than 120 if I decide to go through Whitewright and Tom Bean to Sherman. This will be a major departure for me because I usually don't ride just to ride, I ride to get someplace and it usually doesn't matter how far I ride to get there if the only way there for me is by bike. As I have posted in this blog before I don't do that "e" word very much, I just ride my bike and that's pretty much all the workout I get. Riding to not get somewhere is coming perilously close to that "e" word, "exercise".
I haven't decided yet if I will do the ride with or without the commuting gear on the bike. Part of me wants to do the ride with those kitty-litter buckets hanging on the bike with the cut-down license plates and the mailbox reflectors on the back, while part of me is thinking about keeping up my average speed with all that junk on Blue slowing me down.
That's a lot to ponder, so leave a comment about doing the ride, keeping my butt from giving out on me, and on riding continuously instead of in 3-10 mile shots.

Moms and babies unite to celebrate breastfeeding
On Saturday, Sept. 29, thousands of mothers will gather together in groups all around the world and latch on their babies at exactly at 11 a.m. to participate in The Global Breastfeeding Challenge.
The annual event, which is organized by the B.C.-based nonprofit Quintessence Foundation, aims to spread the word globally that breastfeeding is normal and an important strategy for child and maternal health. It's timed to coincide with World Breastfeeding Week, in the first week of October.
April Reding, who is helping organize a local event at breastfeeding boutique and baby-friendly café Melons et Clémentines in N.D.G., said despite "breast is best" awareness campaigns, many mothers still feel shy feeding their babies in public places.
Reding said the event aims to normalize breastfeeding in public and reduce the stigma new mothers often feel when latching on in public places.
In her experience as a mom, as well as a volunteer at Nourri-Source, which offers breastfeeding support for mothers in Quebec, she said one of the big challenges breastfeeding mothers often face is isolation.
When infants are cluster-feeding, she noted, babies nurse often and long. Mothers who don't feel comfortable feeding their babies in public can end up stuck at home alone for long periods, or closeted away in bathroom stalls or other lonely places.
"We don't want to be isolated from society and go hide in a corner like we're doing something shameful," Reding said. "This is what boobs are designed for. It's funny, it's perfectly acceptable in our society to show a lot of cleavage, but God forbid someone sees a flash of nipple when a baby is feeding."
The Breastfeeding Challenge will happen between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. at Melons et Clémentines, 5659 Sherbrooke St. W., N.D.G. For more information, call 524-482-5248.
More than a dozen local Breastfeeding Challenge events are registered throughout Quebec. A full list is online at babyfriendly.ca/challenge/region/6/9.

With all the genre legends appearing at Calgary Horror Con this year, from Tom Savini to Tony Todd to Bill Moseley to Herschell Gordon Lewis, it may be easy to overlook the myriad great guests who are also attending the Con as well who have the same amount of passion and love for the genre as the icons. Among these great guests is none other than SFX maestro and star of Syfy Channel's Monster Man himself, Cleve Hall. Aside from working on films like Ghoulies, Re-Animator and Terrorvision, Hall has enjoyed life as an actor as well, and even as a reality TV star. Add onto the fact that he's designed props and costumes for Gene Simmons, Alice Cooper and Tenacious D, as well as having an Emmy nomination under his belt for his work on Yo Gabba Gabba! of all projects.
Upon word that Hall may have some exciting news for fans of Monster Man, Diabolique contacted the SFX legend himself for an exclusive, albeit brief, chat…
DIABOLIQUE: So, what exactly is bringing you to Calgary Horror Con this year?
CLEVE HALL: A BIG Airplane I believe…Yes, I'm sure of it! Unfortunately, I hate flying because I feel anything the size of a small apartment complex driven by three guys has no business in the air.
DIABOLIQUE: Prior to this year's convention, have you ever been to Calgary before?
HALL: Nope. The only other time I was in Canada was in '82 with my Mommy.
DIABOLIQUE: A couple of nights ago, you announced that you had some exciting news for Monster Man fans on your Facebook page. Would you mind elaborating?
HALL: We've been waiting to hear about what Syfy has planned for Monster Man in the future. There have been some "Cyber-Loons" trying to say it was cancelled for quite some time now. Finally, last week at San Diego Comic-Con, a reporter from TMZ asked Mark Stern, Head of Programming at Syfy, why it was cancelled, and Mark replied, "Monster Man has NOT BEEN CANCELLED! Where did you hear that? If it was cancelled, we would have put out a press release. Monster Man has not been cancelled. We are just trying to determine the right time to bring it back."
DIABOLIQUE: You've done effects work for over 30 years now. What do you find to be most different from the effects work you've done at the beginning of your career and the effects work you do now?
HALL: [Back then,] we didn't have to deal with the threat of being replaced by CGI.
DIABOLIQUE: You appear in The Black Dahlia Haunting, which is receiving its Canadian Premiere at the Calgary Horror Con. How was your experience of working on that film? Do you approach acting work with a different mindset than your effects work, in terms of motivation and drive?
HALL: I have played a lot of psycho killers in my career, usually with a healthy layer of cheese on top. This time, partly because it was a real murder we were recreating, I played it dead serious. There is no humor in my eyes. My ex-wife won't watch The Black Dahlia Haunting. We only had the dungeon rented for two hours, so we just went for it. No rehearsal. I think that made it even more real. It's very different from FX, which are like pulling off a magic trick each time and require lots of preparation. When acting, however, I rarely plan ahead. Usually, I modulate my character performance to blend with the actors I'm working with.
DIABOLIQUE: Do you have any other projects currently in development? Is there any horror subgenre that you've not previously explored that you would like to?
HALL: Man-Eating Plants. I want to do some [of those]. I do have some amazing new projects, but you'll hear all about them at the convention!
There you have it! Monster Man will be coming back once more! Cleve Hall and his Monster Man co-star/daughter Constance Hall will both be appearing at the Calgary Horror-Con which takes place in ONE WEEK, from Saturday, August 3rd to Sunday, August 4th at Hotel Blackfoot in Calgary, AB. You can follow Cleve on Twitter: @MechaGothzilla, and you can like his official page on Facebook.

DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB is Stanley Kubrick's Cold War masterpiece. Based on the novel RED ALERT by Peter George, the film is set at the height of the tensions between Russia and the United States, when all it would take to destroy the world was one push of a button. And General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) is just the man to do it. Convinced that the Russians have infiltrated America's "vital essence," the crazed Ripper gives the go code to the 843rd bomb wing to attack Russia, setting in motion a series of darkly hilarious vignettes involving gung-ho soldiers, wacky generals, spying Russians, drunken premiers, battles with soda machines, fights in the War Room, and the Russians' top-secret Doomsday Machine. Shot in black and white, the film has three main centers of action: one of the B-52 bombers, on which a group of loyal men know they are about to start World War III; Burpelson Air Force Base, where Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers) is trying to convince everyone that Ripper has gone mad and the bombing must be stopped; and the War Room, where President Merkin Muffley (Sellers again) is trying to make peace with the Russians. The finale featuring Sellers as Dr. Strangelove is a comic gem. Hayden, George C. Scott, Slim Pickens, Keenan Wynn, and Sellers (in three roles) are especially terrific in what may be the funniest, most poignant black comedy ever made, a vicious satire on the farcical aspects of the military and the cold war.

Movie Reviews
Theatrical release: January 30, 1964. Filmed at Shepperton Studios, England. DR. STRANGELOVE was an original selection of the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1989. DR. STRANGELOVE is number 3 on the American Film Institute's list of America's 100 Funniest Movies and number 26 on the American Film Institute's list of America's 100 Greatest Movies. The film begins with the following disclaimer: "It is the stated position of the U.S. Air Force that their safeguards would prevent the occurrence of such events as are depicted in this film. Furthermore, it should be noted that none of the characters portrayed in this film are meant to represent any real persons living or dead." James Earl Jones makes his feature-film debut in DR. STRANGELOVE. The part of Major King Kong, played by Slim Pickens, was originally written for John Wayne, who turned the role down. Peter Sellers was then set to play the role, but due to an accident was unable to do so. Kubrick eventually chose Pickens because the two had worked together briefly on ONE EYED JACKS. The ending scene was originally going to contain a pie fight, but was considered too over the top by director Stanley Kubrick.
"...A supremely scary classic....If DR. STRANGELOVE is the most warmly remembered of cold war artifacts, thank its pitch-black humor..." -- Critic's Choice - 11/04/1994 New York Times, p.C14
"...DR. STRANGELOVE is filled with great comic performances....Arguably the best political satire of the century..." - 07/16/1999 Chicago Sun-Times, p.5
"...The film, of course, hasn't lost a thing, starting with three exceptional performances by Peter Sellers and another by underrated Sterling Hayden..." - 06/19/1992 USA Today, p.3D
"...A movie that shocked the world into a new death-rattle irony..." - 01/11/2002 Entertainment Weekly, p.33
"The blackest satire on the madness of war has grown more apt over time." - 11/11/2004 Rolling Stone, p.118
"Kubrick's atomic-powered black comedy, scripted to perfection by Terry Southern." - 04/01/2005 Uncut, p.142
"Despite the despairing theme, it's still among the funniest films ever made -- and, in his three roles, Peter Sellers delivers several classic speeches that will live forever..." - 12/01/2008 Empire, p.215
"Stanley Kubrick's quintessential Cold War Comedy is also one of the savvier movies, period, about politics in the postnuclear era." - 07/23/2010 Wall Street Journal
"Shooting DR. STRANGELOVE as if it were PATHS OF GLORY makes its ridiculous elements at once funnier and more chilling, emphasizing the Cold War's inherent insanity....Making light of world annihilation is serious business, and Kubrick treats it as such, without sacrificing laughs." -- Grade: A - 06/25/2016 A.V. Club

Getting Medical Treatment Abroad
Travelling abroad can be a great adventure. But amongst all the excitement, there is a chance you might get sick or have an accident, resulting in the need for medical treatment. You might even need treatment as the result of a pre existing medical condition.
What do you need to know about getting medical treatment abroad?
- Make sure you have comprehensive travel insurance. Your travel insurance will cover the cost of emergency medical treatment whilst you are abroad. Goodtogoinsurance.com can cover you, even if you have a pre existing medical condition.
- Make a note of the 24 hour emergency medical assistance telephone number that came with your travel insurance policy - they can give you advice if you need urgent medical attention
- If you will need special medical care while you are abroad (e.g. the use of a dialysis machine) contact the local hospital before you leave to find out if they can meet your needs
- If you take regular medication, make a note of the name of it and translate it into the local language in case you lose it or run out of supplies
- If you have an allergy, make a note of it and translate it into the local language if you can
- While you are at the hospital request an English speaking doctor if there is one available
- Make sure all medicine you receive abroad is labelled. You might need to tell a doctor what you have been taking once you get home
- If you receive medical treatment abroad, hang on to any receipts or prescriptions so that you can claim the expenses back on your travel insurance
- If you sustain injuries as the result of a serious accident, go to the nearest hospital immediately. Delay might only lead to further complications
- Take a first aid kit with you - it could prevent the need to seek medical treatment. Pack antibiotics, pain killers and diarrhoea tablets
- Take a phrasebook that contains basic medical terms or a medical Kwikpoint visual translator

So imagine the possible in the many of the areas of interest and let's imagine the axes and tools of innovation. The way I think about it is the greater the number of axes, that is the dimensions in which innovation is possible, and the better the tools for innovation, experimentation, and lower the cost of trials for ideas, the faster the rate of change. That means more the possibility of a surprise like an Amazon disrupting retail or Tesla or Google changing transportation with electric and driverless cars, respectively.
As an example, computers and computation as a tool allow for innovation in practically any field, be it in biology, space exploration, or information technologies. That was compounded by networking (of people, computers, and things) through the Internet which allowed the lowly landline phone to morph into today's mobile which, paradoxically, is mostly used for everything other than talking. The device, though, impacted so many areas of our life. This was unimaginable even two decades ago at the birth of the Internet the Internet browser in 1993, even after its commercialization with the founding of Netscape in 1995.
So, what is in store for us for the next twenty years? It's hard to forecast, but easier to speculate. It seems likely that 3D-manufacturing, artificial intelligence, biology tools especially new physics-based tools, biology fashions like CRISPR and it's likely successors for precision biology and computational biology, along with traditional old standbys like increased computing and bandwidth will all form a soup which catalyzes many new ideas and reactions. Now, add to the soup the potential for new types of computing, like quantum computing, which might accelerate AI even beyond our wildest imagination. The possibilities become truly unpredictable. Here I speculate (I never claim to be able to predict anything) basing just on technology paths that seem plausible, even if they are improbable today. I don't posit yet atomic level assembly of objects, but just using improvements in 3D-printing, AI, and basic quantum simulations. I am not imagining here completely new axis that will surely happen like broad quantum computing, fusion energy, or molecular assembly. There are many axes of innovation that are opening up so the next decade or two look promising. I won't mention all of them here. There are some I expect but seem too speculative even for me. Others, on the other hand, I haven't dreamed of, but are today being developed by smart people all over the world in research efforts.
To make it possible, you need new tools, a visionary and persistent founder, and evangelizing market participants. They must understand where this vision is going, and they need to be convinced they need to come along and ultimately change, especially if it's radical innovation. For instance, automotive companies had little appetite for electric vehicles. Nevertheless, Elon Musk had both the vision and the determination to create electric cars and gain adoption; that that allowed him to disrupt the automotive industry by building a better, more efficient car while paving the way for an autonomous future. For while it's still not universally accepted, it has taken convincing the likes of government regulators, financial institutions, technology thought leaders, media, and the general public to change behavior and ways of doing what they were doing. As Mahatma Gandhi said, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
There are macrotrends, too. Marc Andreessen said "software eating the world" because it was the easiest way to describe what was happening. The same is happening with AI eating the world, as well as computational design, blockchain and 3D-printing. Some of the tools and axes of innovation defined below will end up being transformative, most likely this will be the case of AI, others will just be rapid facilitators. Older technologies, like mobile and Internet, will keep turbocharging these newer innovations.

According to the main tourism factors mentioned in the master plan, Nahavand town is located in the second tourism district of the province. Many different natural and cultural attractions are located in Nahavand, while tourist attractions in Sarab-e Giyan forest are mainly of ecotourism kind (natural-environmental).
This promenade is located in south Nahavand city among crowded villages and it attracts large number of tourists from the city, province and even neighboring provinces. It should be noted that Giyan historical hill is also located near the forest and Sarab-e Giyan, which according to archeologist excavation had a culture similar to Mesopotamia in 5700 year ago.
The present article seeks to determine factors influencing visitor's willingness to pay for visiting the forest and Nahavand Sarab-e Giyan and estimate its economic-promenade valuation according to CVM analytic method.
In this article, conditional valuation method (CVM) was used for estimating economic-promenade valuation of the forest and Nahavand Sarab-e Giyan. This method tries to determine visitor's willingness to pay (WTP) in different scenarios of the assumed market.

Set up your camera for portrait backgrounds that rock!
Blurred Portrait Backgrounds
Wow! We have all seen that image, the subject took over the image and the background was just a blurred delight. At times I have been more in awe of the background of a portrait then the portrait itself, it's not supposed to work that way right? But as a photographer I wanted to examine the entire image to see what works for portrait photography.
Let's talk about Camera Settings for Portraits
Here's a link to a really helpful camera settings card.
The aperture setting controls the depth of field therefore, it's the aperture that you use that will give you the variance in the background of your portrait.
The higher numbered apertures will give you less light and more detail in the background. i.e. f8/f11 etc
The lower numbered apertures will give you more light and more blur (or bokeh) in your background. i.e. f/2.8, f4 etc
It's the lower aperture that you usually want to choose when taking portraits. This is called having a shallow depth of field.
Remember if you are taking portraits of more an one person who are not at the same distance from the camera, you will need to increase your aperture value to ensure that all the subjects remain sharp. i.e. for two people you may choose f/5.6, for a group you may try f/11 or more. This is called increasing the depth of field.
What about shutter speed?
When you are shooting with low aperture values, keep an eye on your shutter speed as you don't want to get too slow with this. I have found that 1/60' is the lowest that most people can hand-hold a camera with lens in the range 24mm to 70mm and obtain sharpness in their focus. There is a "rule of thumb" which says 'never go slower than your focal length'. For example a 200mm lens means no slower than 1/200′; or a 100mm lens means no slower than 1/100'. There is some lee-way if you have a steady hand.
Why adjust the ISO?
If the combination of the aperture and shutter speed still does not give you enough light in your image you may need to increase the ISO. As a general rule an ISO of 100 or 200 can be used on a clear day, if the day becomes cloudy or overcast you may need to change the ISO to 400, if the light is very low you may need to move your ISO up to 800, 1200 or higher. The quality of modern dslr can hand high ISO very well before the effects of noise ruin your image.
Here is a handy help tip about iso you can print and keep with you.
Which lenses are best for portraits?
Of course this depends on what you have in your kit. Choose a lens that you have that has the lowest AV (aperture value). In regards to focal length, my personal favourites are:
– 85mm, the glass is sharp and the background blur is magnificent.
– The 70-200mm is also an excellent lens for portraits.
– In the studio I love the versatility of the 24-70
Remember focusing on the eyes adds great impact to your photograph, combined that with blurred backgrounds and you will have an all round winner!
…I will talk more about the eyes in my next blog.

A few things I crocheted for Madelyn's dollhouse...for Christmas. An itty, bitty bowl, a basket with a handle and then a small rug! Since I am mainly a *knitter*...these items that I crocheted aren't too fantastic...but I know Madelyn will enjoy them in her dollhouse! :)
Homemade pizza for supper...
How sweet Ruthie rests. Doesn't it appear to be so uncomfortable?
Hot chocolate, with lots of marshmallows (that I buy in bulk), to warm us on these cold, blustery, winter days!
Good reading...
I am almost finished with Beautiful in God's Eyes by Elizabeth George. It has such a beautiful focus on the Proverbs 31 woman and how we can be beautiful in God's eyes! :) I am enjoying it thoroughly and trying to apply the ideas tucked in it's pages. There are some things mentioned in it that I was cheerful about because I felt I fulfilled those qualities...and then there were others that I realized I really needed to work on. How imperfect I am! If you haven't read it...I completely recommend it!
**And...I am quite thrilled because my recent issue of the Above Rubies magazine has arrived! How I love this beautiful read...a true treasure for wives and mothers. If you have received your issue...have you read the section by Colin Campbell? Oh my...how I agree with him!!
Being a stay-at-home wife and mother is one of the most difficult and most wonderful jobs in the world. Doing *just* what God created me to do. ♥ Watching my children grow day-by-day is something I truly treasure. Mothers, if you *can*...be home with your little ones...for these young years are such a vital time of encouraging and training them up. :) Children don't need more stuff...they need more of *you*!
It *is* possible to get along on one income. It takes some simplifying and shedding of *stuff*. Of course, there are unavoidable circumstances for some people (and that is a situation that God will guide you in!). But if you are working just so you can buy more *stuff*...truly, your children's greatest need is for **you**. I have such a heart for mothers to be at home...raising their young ones. HERE is a link to some important links and places that share the gift of being at home!
Your children are only this age once...you can't go back. Enjoy each and every moment. They last only but a second. God made *you* to shepherd their hearts...not a daycare center, not other people...but you, their mother! :) You are qualified and able. Not through any strength of your own...but through His strength. I want to encourage you! If you need prayer or encouragement at all...please feel free to email me or leave a comment. :)
**I just wanted to mention, quickly, that my mom and I painted Madelyn's bedroom. I don't want everyone to think I did it all on my own! ;) But thank you, all, for each of your lovely comments. Each one is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for visiting. I have thought about addressing the issue of simplifying our lives in a post (or more than one). Many women may have a sincere desire to stay home with their children, but not know how to start simplifying. We'll have to see. I don't know it all...I am just a simple woman...striving to live how I am suppose to. I can share what I know and do, though. I will have to see if that is something people seem interested in!
Have a wonderful week.
Katy :)

from a very long acquaintance with, and observation of, the original. Nay, I have rather softened than heightened the colouring. Chesterfield.
LORD Hardwicke was, perhaps, the greatest magistrate that this country ever had. He presided in the court of chancery above twenty years, and in all that time none of his decrees were reversed, nor the justness of them ever questioned. Though avarice was his ruling passion, he was never in the least suspected of any kind of corruption: a rare and meritorious instance of virtue and self-denial, under the influence of such a craving, insatiable, and increasing passion.
He had great and clear parts; understood, loved, and cultivated the belles lettres. He was an agreeable, eloquent speaker in parliament, hut not without some little tincture of the pleader.
Men are apt to mistake, or at least to seem to mistake, their own talents, in hopes, perhaps, of misleading others to allow them that which they are conscious they do not possess. Thus lord Hardwicke valued himself more upon being a great minister of state, which he certainly was not, than upon being a great magistrate, which he certainly was.
All his notions were clear, but none of them great. Good order and domestic details were his proper department. The great and shining parts of government, though not above his parts to conceive, were above his timidity to undertakes
By great and lucrative employments, during the course of thirty years, and by still greater parsimony, he acquired an immense fortune, and established his numerous family in advantageous posts and profitable alliances.
Though he had been solicitor and attorney-general, he was by no means what is called a prerogative lawyer. He loved the constitution, and maintained the just prerogative of the crown, but without stretching it to the oppression of the people.
He was naturally humane, moderate, and decent; and when, by his former employments, he was obliged to prosecute state-criminals, he discharged that duty in a very different manner from most of his predecessors, who were too justly called the blood-hounds of the crown.'
He was a cheerful and instructive companion, humane in his nature, decent in his manners, unstained with any vice (avarice excepted), a very great magistrate, but by no means a great minister. Chesterfield.
HERE began to dawn the first glimmerings of this new colony system. It appeared more distinctly afterwards, when it was devolved upon a person, to whom on other accounts this country owes very great obligations. I do believe that he had a very serious desire to benefit the public. But with no small study of the detail, he did not seem to have
his view, at least equally, carried to the total circuit of our affairs. He generally considered his objects in lights that were rather too detached. No man can believe, that at this time of day I mean to lean on the venerable memory of a great man, whose loss we deplore in common. Our little party-differences have been long ago composed; and I have acted more with him, and certainly with more pleasure with him, than ever I acted against him. Undoubtedly Mr. Grenville was a first-rate figure in this country. With a
masculine understanding, and a stout and resolute heart, he had an application undissipated and unwearied. He took public business, not as a duty which he was to fulfil, but as a pleasure he was to enjoy; and he seemed to have no delight out of this house, except in such things as some way related to the business that was to be done in it. If he was ambitious, I will say this for him, his ambition was of a noble and generous strain. It was to raise himself, not by the low pimping politics of a court, but to win his way to power, through the laborious gradations of public service; and to secure to himself a well-earned rank in parliament, by a thorough knowledge of its constitution, and a perfect practice in all its business.
Sir, if such a man fell into errours, it must be from defects not intrinsical: they must be rather sought in the particular habits of his life; which, though they do not alter the groundwork of character, yet tinge it with their own hue. He was bred in a profession. He was bred to the law, which is, in my opinion, one of the first and noblest
of human sciences; a science, which does more to quicken and invigorate the understanding, than all other kinds of human learning put together; but it is not apt, except in persons very happily born, to open and liberalize the mind exactly in the same proportion. Passing from that study, he did not go very largely into the world, but plunged into business; I mean into the business of office, and the limited and fixed methods and forms established there. Much knowledge is undoubtedly to be had in that line; and there is no knowledge which is not valuable. But it may be truly said, that men too much conversant in office, are rarely minds of remarkable enlargement. Their habits are apt to give them a turn to think the substance of business not to be much more important than the forms in which it is conducted. These forms are adapted to ordinary occasions; and therefore persons who are nurtured in office do admirably well, as long as things go on in their common order; but when the high roads are broken up, and the waters out, when a new and troubled scene is opened, and the file affords no precedent, then it is that a far greater knowledge of mankind, and a more extensive comprehension of things, is requisite than ever office gave, or than office can ever give. Mr. Grenville thought better of the wisdom and power of legislation than in truth it deserves. He conceived, and many conceived along with him, that the flourishing trade of this country was greatly owing to law and institution, and not quite so much to liberty; for but too many are apt to believe regulation to be commerce, and taxes to be revenue.
I HAVE done with the third period of your policy; the return to your ancient system, and your ancient tranquillity and concord. Sir, this period was not as long as it was happy. Another scene was opened, and other actors appeared on the stage. The state, in the condition I have described it, was delivered into the hands of lord Chatham-a great and celebrated name; a name that keeps the name of this country respectable in every other où the globe. It may be truly called,
Clarum et venerabile nomen
Gentibus, et multum nostræ quod proderat urbi.
Sir, the venerable age of this great man, his merited rank, his superior eloquence, his splendid qualities, his eminent services, the vast space he fills in the eye of mankind; and more than all the rest, his fall from power, which, like death, canonizes and sanctifies a great character, will not suffer me to censure any part of his conduct. I am afraid to flatter him; I am sure I am not disposed to blame him. Let those who have betrayed him by their adulation, insult him with their malevolence. But what I do not presume to censure, I may have leave to lament. For a wise man, he seemed to me at that time to be governed too much by ge neral maxims. I speak with the freedom of history, and I hope without offence. One or two of

Michael Conforto
After a terrific 2017 campaign that ended in a tough-looking shoulder surgery, Michael Conforto's quick return to the lineup in April was encouraging. So was his homer off Stephen Strasburg in his season debut.
The rest hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows, though.
Viewed as a crucial piece to this lineup being successful, Conforto has struggled to a .221/.346/.381 triple slash with 12 homers and 34 RBI through 355 plate appearances.
One apparent issue in 2018 is his performance against right-handed pitching. His 104 wRC+ in that situation is propped up by a 17.3 percent walk rate, but it still doesn't help his .211/.358/.368 triple slash very much. For reference, Conforto posted a 164 wRC+ with a .303/.417/.595 triple slash against righties in 2017.
There is some progress with regard to his quality of contact when looking at his monthly progression. After failing to post a hard-hit rate above 30.0 percent in April and May, it's been above 40.0 percent since the start of June.
While the rest of his batted-ball profile could be better, his BABIP has decreased as the year's progressed (just over .300 over the first two months, around .230 since).
There's no way the Mets would give up on Conforto at this point in his career — especially since there's no solid precedent for a return from his injury. However, seeing some results over the final few months of the regular season will help him build some momentum into 2019.
Steven Matz
We've already covered how good Steven Matz has been this year since a rough start in April. The southpaw has been so good, in fact, that he's found his name in the rumor mill with the non-waiver trade deadline approaching.
It seems as if New York is valuing Matz as a front-end starter instead of what he's typically been throughout his career: an oft-injured middle-of-the-rotation arm.
Outside of his recent stellar performance, his contract situation is an especially intriguing draw for opposing teams. After all, he's making just $577,000 this season, will be entering arbitration for the first time this winter and is under team control through 2021.
Matz's first full season in the big leagues was 2016, and he still hasn't surpassed 22 starts or 132.1 innings in any campaign. There's a decent chance he'll finally get past those benchmarks this year, but it still needs to actually happen.
Plus, while his 3.65 ERA is great to look at, his 4.35 SIERA tells us he has run into some good fortune so far.
Is Matz talented? Yes. Has he shown flashes of being an above-average starter? Yes. Has he also shown a propensity for completely falling apart at a moment's notice? You bet. He's gotten better at staying composed, but that's still something to consider.
Similar to Syndergaard — minus the whole weird disease stuff, of course — he needs to not only sustain his current performance, but also just simply stay on the mound from here on out.

(New York) – Thailand's military-installed Constitution Drafting Committee should scrap a proposal to merge the national human rights commission with the ombudsman's office, Human Rights Watch said today. The military-appointed constitution drafters' plan would gut the national human rights agency and pave the way for further repression. The new constitution should instead ensure the existence of an independent and impartial national rights agency.
On January 30, 2015, Bawornsak Uwanno, head of the Constitution Drafting Committee, announced that the committee had adopted language in the draft constitution to merge the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Office of the Ombudsman of Thailand into one body to be called the Office of the Ombudsman and Human Rights Protection. Bawornsak claimed the NHRC and the Ombudsman have similar functions so they should be merged to enable people to file complaints while reducing operational costs.
"Thailand's National Human Rights Commission and Ombudsman serve very different purposes and shouldn't be merged," said Brad Adams, Asia director. "Since the May 2014 military coup, Thailand has been a human rights disaster that needs an independent National Human Rights Commission to hold the junta accountable – now more than ever."
According to the Constitution Drafting Committee's proposal seen by Human Rights Watch, the proposed agency will comprise 11 commissioners, selected in a closed and unaccountable vetting system by the Thai senate. The proposal states that the commissioners should be persons "having apparent knowledge and experiences in the protection of rights and liberties of the people, having regard also to the participation of representatives from private organizations in the field of human rights." However, the committee failed to engage in serious consultations with civil society about these changes and any measures to ensure the selection of independent and qualified human rights commissioners.
The Constitution Drafting Committee not only failed to recognize the very different mandates of the NHRC and the Ombudsman, but also has not taken into account past criticisms about the lack of transparency and inclusiveness in the selection of the current seven NHRC members. In 2009, the screening committee, consisting of five senior judges and the president of the parliament, chose seven candidates (out of a pool of more than 100 candidates) in a closed meeting that left no channel for public comment. The senate then effectively rubber-stamped the committee's decision. As a result, the existing commissioners lack diversity, human rights experience, and a demonstrated understanding of human rights.
"Instead of making a weak human rights agency even weaker, the Constitution Drafting Committee should be seeking ways to ensure a broad-based, effective, and independent membership," Adams said.
The Principles Relating to the Status of National Institutions on human rights ("The Paris Principles"), which were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, state: "The composition of the national institution and the appointment of its members, whether by means of an election or otherwise, shall be established in accordance with a procedure which affords all necessary guarantees to ensure the pluralist representation of the social forces (of civilian society) involved in the protection and promotion of human rights."
The International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights issued a report on December 31, 2014, pointing out that the NHRC is composed of only "officials from a very small number of public institutions, with no clear representation, or a requirement for consultation with key stakeholder groups or civil society." In addition, the report also questioned the NHRC's independence and credibility, saying that "staff members of the NHRC were displaying publicly their political affiliations whilst undertaking official functions."
The International Coordinating Committee report also noted with concern the significant delays in the NHRC's investigations of serious human rights issues, including violence and abuses related to the 2010 political confrontations between the government of then-Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship – the "Red Shirts" – and the 2013 uprising of the People's Democratic Reform Committee against the government of then-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
Based largely on concerns about the commissioners' selection process and performance, the International Coordinating Committee recommended a downgrade in the ranking of the NHRC to "B" status, which would cause the NHRC to lose privileges to present views at the UN Human Rights Council.
"The Constitutional Drafting Committee's merger idea has the potential to make the international downgrade of Thailand's human rights commission a permanent one," Adams said. "If adopted, the new body is unlikely to play any sort of serious rights protection role and would lose all international standing and credibility."

At PuzzleHR, we do so many things for so many companies that we thought it important to share some of our stories with you. This is a Case Study of one of our clients, an international luxury retailer. They came to us with an interesting puzzle for the team to help solve. We were asked to help this company:
- Continue to grow their business and luxury brand reputation.
- Remain in compliance.
- Keep their employees safe and engaged.
- Maintain the familial culture that they had worked so hard to build and maintain for over 100 years.
Certainly a tall order, but the ask was not one we had not seen before. We created a simple three part plan.
We had to address the most immediate obstacle, Covid-19. How does a business navigate safety and productivity in this environment? Our client had done a great job managing each Covid-related incident as it arose. But they lacked a comprehensive, proactive approach to dealing with the pandemic in the workplace.
- We helped them implement CDC-approved policies and procedures so that employees were aware of how to handle even the most complicated of scenarios.
- As employees took advantage of the company's very generous PTO offerings while quarantining or taking care of family members, we uncovered a potential windfall. We worked with their payroll provider to recategorize Covid-related leaves to take advantage of tax savings. That helped the company realize $50,000 in savings.
- When holiday travel became problematic in their area, we provided compliant guidance to help mitigate risk and bring open communication to the forefront so that everyone played a role in making the workplace as safe as possible.
Talent acquisition is never easy. Talent acquisition in a pandemic is a different level of challenge altogether. Our client needed help staffing open positions. But how do you lure qualified candidates away from their existing role in such uncertain times? We worked to create quality job postings, released in a wide variety of platforms to reach the best and broadest audience. Then, PuzzleHR worked with the hiring managers to ensure timely communication with candidates so that the process was seamless and efficient.
We tackled company culture. Candidates, employees and customers want to feel a connection with their organization. They want to see diversity, sustainability, corporate responsibility, or simply their core values displayed in how the business functions. What could PuzzleHR help identify, augment and help communicate about our client? We conducted an in-depth analysis of other brands in the luxury space to determine what qualities this company needs to highlight in their media to fully express their cultural identity. Our work helped surface those elements and highlighted them for employees and customers alike. Today, we are working to standardizing their employee onboarding to ensure every employee benefits from a strong start at this great place to work!
The Result
We saved our client tens of thousands of dollars in taxes. We increased employee engagement. And were able to inform the community just how amazing this company is to work for and do business with. At PuzzleHR, we strive to anticipate the challenges our clients will face and provide them with resources and tools necessary to thrive in this challenging business environment.
If you have an HR puzzle that needs solving, contact us today.

Report on Whakaari/White Island (New Zealand) — December 1977
Natural Science Event Bulletin, vol. 2, no. 12 (December 1977)
Managing Editor: David Squires.
Whakaari/White Island (New Zealand) Seismogram analyses for 30 August-15 November
Please cite this report as:
Global Volcanism Program, 1977. Report on Whakaari/White Island (New Zealand) (Squires, D., ed.). Natural Science Event Bulletin, 2:12. Smithsonian Institution. https://doi.org/10.5479/si.GVP.NSEB197712-241040
Whakaari/White Island
New Zealand
37.52°S, 177.18°E; summit elev. 294 m
All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
White Island seismograms for the period 30 August-15 November were analyzed (table 1). [About 2,700] small volcanic earthquakes have been counted and separated into four groups [for which the magnitude-frequency coefficient b was determined.] All the events interpreted as explosion earthquakes occurred during a [strong] swarm of A-type quakes between 1722 on 21 October and 0724 on 22 October. The largest, ML 2.6, occurred at 0104. [An eruption is known to have taken place between 9 October and 10 November (date unknown). From the explosion earthquakes, J.H. Latter suggests that the peak of this activity probably occurred at 0104 on 22 October.]
|Number of Events
|Earthquake Type
|A-type (high-frequency).
|Minakami B-type (low-frequency) produced in or very close to magma or in areas of hot gas.
|Intermediate-frequency ["C-type"]. Generally closely associated with periods of volcanic tremor [which has a dominant frequency of 2.5-3.5 Hz, but sometimes as high as 4-5 Hz.]
|Explosion earthquakes.
Geological Summary. The uninhabited Whakaari/White Island is the 2 x 2.4 km emergent summit of a 16 x 18 km submarine volcano in the Bay of Plenty about 50 km offshore of North Island. The island consists of two overlapping andesitic-to-dacitic stratovolcanoes. The SE side of the crater is open at sea level, with the recent activity centered about 1 km from the shore close to the rear crater wall. Volckner Rocks, sea stacks that are remnants of a lava dome, lie 5 km NW. Descriptions of volcanism since 1826 have included intermittent moderate phreatic, phreatomagmatic, and Strombolian eruptions; activity there also forms a prominent part of Maori legends. The formation of many new vents during the 19th and 20th centuries caused rapid changes in crater floor topography. Collapse of the crater wall in 1914 produced a debris avalanche that buried buildings and workers at a sulfur-mining project. Explosive activity in December 2019 took place while tourists were present, resulting in many fatalities. The official government name Whakaari/White Island is a combination of the full Maori name of Te Puia o Whakaari ("The Dramatic Volcano") and White Island (referencing the constant steam plume) given by Captain James Cook in 1769.

Flight cancellations at Cairo Airport frustrate passengers as EgyptAir hostesses and stewards strike for better working conditions
Egypt's national airline has suspended all international flights after its air crew declared a strike early Friday morning.
The airline stated that to avoid overcrowding it would be suspending all its international flights for 12 hours but would continue domestic operations.
"Because of a strike by EgyptAir aircrew affecting some early morning flights, the company decided to suspend its schedule of international departures from Cairo between 4am and 4pm (0200-1400 GMT)," a company statement said.
Air hostesses and stewards started their strike early Friday morning to demand better working conditions, including better insurance and an increase in staff numbers.
Hundreds of passengers stranded at the airport complained they were not being told the time of their postponed departures.
In September 2011, EgyptAir ground staff went on strike to demand better working conditions.
Strikes in Egypt have been on the rise for several years, performing an instrumental role in the ouster of president Hosni Mubarak last year. Since the 18-day uprising, strike action has been on the rise.
* This article was amended on 7 September 2012 to correct the date of a previous EgyptAir strike from September 2010 to 2011.

What's Your Attachment Style? Anxious, Disorganized, Avoidant or Secure?
Attachment theory is a psychological and evolutionary theory concerning human relationships. The theory was originally used to describe the relationship between children and their primary caretakers, stating that infants and children develop an attachment style in order to develop psychologically and emotionally. The attachment behavioral system described how infants acted when they were separated and then reunited with their primary caretakers. The infant's reactions to this scenario were classified into two different categories, secure attachment and insecure attachment. Infants with secure attachment were distressed upon separation, but easily calmed when reunited with their caregiver. Other infants were distressed upon separation, and remained stressed upon unification, often acting fussy, choosing to avoid, or "punish" the caretaker who left. Since it's initial development, this theory has evolved as a means to evaluate the attachment style of adults.
Adult attachment theory has since emerged as a way to categorize how adults in emotionally intimate relationships attach to one another. There are four different types of attachment styles, three insecure attachment styles known as anxious, disorganized and avoidant and one secure attachment style. Not everyone falls squarely into one of these four categories, in fact, people often find that they display characteristics from a couple of these attachment styles. But, one attachment style normally prevails as the dominant style. Understanding your attachment style, and the attachment style of your partner (if you are in a relationship) can help you better understand and navigate your relationships, especially your romantic relationships. There are a lot of online resources available to help you discover your attachment style and see what it means for your relationships. Below is an in-depth discussion of the different attachment styles and how your can use your understanding of attachment styles to improve your relationship:
Anxious attachment
Anxious attachment is also known as preoccupied attachment. This attachment style is characterized by, you guessed it, general anxiety about the thought of living without your partner. Adults with an anxious attachment style may view their partner as their better half, and often may have a negative self-image, especially when compared to their positive image of others, particularly their partner. People with anxious attachment tend to seek approval from their partner and appreciate supportive, intuitive partners. Attention and responsiveness from a partner can calm this anxiety, but in the absence of support, people with this attachment style may become more clingy and demanding of their partner. The anxiety tends to stem from fear of abandonment, or fear that their partner is less invested in the relationship than they are.
This type of attachment style can be exhausting to both the anxiously attached and their partner. Partner's in this relationship may feel like they have to constantly provide their partner encouragement and support to keep them afloat. This can put undue burden and stress on partners, which can cause the relationship to be strained. If you or your partner express anxious attachment, it can be helpful to try and identify the source of the anxiety. It can also be helpful to schedule check-ins with your partner to talk candidly about your relationship. During these check-ins you can talk about what's going well and what is not and make an improvement plan to address the problems. Checkin in will help both partners feel supported in the relationship, and creating a long-term plan will cultivate security in the relationship, which can reduce levels of anxiety related to abandonment.

Disorganized attachment
Disorganized attachment is also known as fearful-avoidant attachment. People with this attachment style often display contradictory behaviors that can make it hard to pin down exactly what they are feeling. For adults with disorganized attachment, relationships can be a source of desire and fear. These people seek intimacy and closeness to others, but are fearful that they will get hurt if they become fully connected to or dependent on another person. Their behavior can seem erratic, both seeking intimacy, while also ultimately avoiding emotional attachment as a means of self preservation. If you identify with this attachment style there are some things that you can do to feel less fearful in your relationship. Like anxious attachment, this attachment style stems from fears of abandonment, so reflecting about where these fears originate can help you minimize your insecure attachment.
Even if you are able to recognize where these feelings originate, it can be hard to change your behavior patterns overnight. You may still be tempted to withdraw from serious emotional connections or be intimidated by intimacy. The best thing you can do is share these feelings with your partner. Even if you are not able to overcome these feelings right away, communicating things like, "talking about my emotions scares me", or "I feel uncomfortable opening up about that at this point in our relationship" will clue your partner in to how you are feeling, even if you don't share your exact emotions. It's important to remember that your partner also wants to feel secure in the relationship, so even if you don't feel like you are ready to open up or rely on them, communicate this to them rather than avoiding the topic all together. This will help them feel secure and able to share their feelings with you, which will strengthen your relationship, potentially making it easier for you to open up in the future.
Avoidant attachment
Avoidant attachment is also known as dismissive attachment. People with avoidant attachment styles often view themselves as fiercely independent, self-sufficient and in some cases as a "lone-wolf". Unlike people with anxious attachment, people with this attachment style tend to have high self-esteem and a positive view of themselves. They do not believe that they need another half to complete them. People with avoidant attachment do not like to depend on others, and do not want to feel as if others depend on them. This attachment style is characterized by a tendency to avoid emotional closeness and suppress emotional feelings. People with this attachment style are often not in relationships, because of their tendency towards independence and solitude. If they are in relationships, it can be difficult for the relationship to get serious because of an inability to acknowledge emotional closeness.
If you feel that you have an avoidant attachment style, it, again, can be beneficial to look at the root of this insecure attachment. Regardless of if you can identify/address the root of this problem, you should work towards slowly opening up to another person. It's important to have emotional connections to other people, even if this feels super intimidating! Developing a relationship with a close friend or therapist and using this as a means to explore emotional communication and closeness is a great way to work your towards doing this with a romantic partner. For some people, it's easier to be an emotional support system than it is to rely on one. Focusing on providing emotional support to a friend or partner, allowing them to depend on you for support, can encourage you to start depending on them as well.
Relish has all the benefits of therapy, at a fraction of the cost. In your pocket. At your convenience. Fully customized for you and your relationship. What do you have to lose? Get started for free.
Secure attachment
Secure attachment is the healthiest and most emotionally open adult attachment style. Secure attachment is characterized by honesty, tolerance and emotional intimacy. People with secure attachment feel comfortable while they are single (not relying on relationships for security or validation), and are confident when they are in relationships.
Even if you find that you have a secure attachment style, it's possible that you exhibit some insecure attachment behaviors. Evaluating your relationships with other people will allow you to become even more open and intimate with people you are emotionally attached to. Learning more about different attachment styles can also help you better understand partners and friends with different attachment styles, which can also lead to better relationships.
Certain insecure attachment styles can actually develop into attachment disorders if behaviors become consistently detrimental to emotionally intimate relationships. While most people have a natural tendency towards one attachment style, it is possible to change your attachment style by addressing underlying causes that lead to attachment disorders in adults. A common root of insecure attachment is a fear of abandonment, identifying the cause of this fear and addressing this fear at the root can help adults overcome insecure attachment and develop more healthy emotionally intimate relationships.
If your attachment style is negatively affecting your intimate relationships, you should consider talking to a trained professional about how to address your relationship to attachment. If your attachment style is not necessarily disordered, but is still creating problems in your romantic relationship, you can consider turning to Relish, a relationship coaching app. Relish is a remote and personalized form of relationship therapy that you and your partner can use to navigate different relationship obstacles, including issues related to attachment style. The coaches can help you identify ways to overcome issues related to attachment styles and make goals to overcome these problems as a couple.

Marcus Williams was the obvious scapegoat after the Saints' meltdown late against the Vikings. If he just tackles Stefon Diggs in bounds, the game is over. Simple as that, right?
Well, not exactly. Yes, Williams should have made the tackle, but that doesn't mean the Saints coaches put him in an easy spot to make a play. I'd go as far to say that the defensive call was as much to blame for the loss as Williams' miscue.
First, let's take a look at the all-22 angle of the play…
There are three problems with how the Saints play this. Let's go through them all…
1. Only two safeties deep
The Saints were focused on covering the sidelines, which is probably why they didn't bother to drop a third player deep. I get that. But it puts tremendous strain on the safeties. With no help over the middle, Williams is forced to cover Diggs with a three-way go…
Because of that, he has to wait until the ball is thrown before making his move. Williams was forced to perfectly time his run toward Diggs. That's difficult to do when covering so much grass. As you can see, Williams gets there a beat early, which forces him to adjust and eventually leads to him missing the tackle.
If he had help in the middle, Williams is closer to Diggs when the pass is thrown, making it much easier to time his hit.
2. Linebackers playing too shallow
The Saints essentially wasted two players by having their linebackers drop to about the 50-yard-line. With no timeouts and only 10 seconds to work with, Minnesota had no reason to target this area of the field, so why waste the numbers?
Because the linebackers were playing so shallow, New Orleans had only three defenders beyond its own 45-yard-line when Keenum releases the ball.
3. Four-man rush
With only 10 seconds on the clock, the Saints should have had one priority: Force the Vikings into a Hail Mary attempt. They did not need to win the game on that play, so there was really no reason to pursue a sack. That's what makes the decision to rush four so bizarre.
Most teams will rush three in that situation and drop another defender into coverage. New Orleans decided to remain aggressive and it resulted in a one-on-one opportunity for Diggs down the field, which he ended up winning.
The game should have never come down to a one-on-one tackle. It wouldn't have had defensive coordinator Dennis Allen made a smarter call. The situation gave the Saints a distinct numbers disadvantage. New Orleans' strategic decisions evened up the numbers for the Vikings and they took advantage.
Blame Marcus Williams all you want, but the loss is on the Saints coaching staff.
