Content: If your asthma is severe or uncontrolled, your allergist may speak to you about biologics treatment or a procedure called bronchial thermoplasty. What Are Common Triggers for Asthma? A trigger is something that provokes a response from your body. In the case of asthma, your body sees these triggers as a threat and releases chemicals to combat them – and these chemicals, in turn, can cause an asthma attack. Different things can act as triggers for different people, but common asthma triggers include exercise, illness and allergens such as pollen. Triggers can also come from certain medications, the weather, stress, smoke and even some foods. What Should I Do if I Suffer an Asthma Attack? The best way to handle an asthma attack is to be prepared. Your allergist can help you create an asthma action plan, which can include specific steps to prevent and manage an asthma attack. If an attack does occur, stay calm and use the medications your allergist has prescribed. | http://acaai.org/asthma/about |

Content: Romantic nature poetry is essentially a poetry of meditation. Symbolism and Myth
Symbolism and myth were given great prominence in the Romantic conception of art. In the Romantic view, symbols were the human aesthetic correlatives of nature's emblematic language. They were valued too because they could simultaneously suggest many things, and were thus thought superior to the one-to-one communications of allegory. Partly, it may have been the desire to express the "inexpressible"--the infinite--through the available resources of language that led to symbol at one level and myth (as symbolic narrative) at another. Other Concepts: Emotion, Lyric Poetry, and the Self
Other aspects of Romanticism were intertwined with the above three concepts. Emphasis on the activity of the imagination was accompanied by greater emphasis on the importance of intuition, instincts, and feelings, and Romantics generally called for greater attention to the emotions as a necessary supplement to purely logical reason. When this emphasis was applied to the creation of poetry, a very important shift of focus occurred. Wordsworth's definition of all good poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" marks a turning point in literary history. | http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/cs6/rom.html |

When this emphasis was applied to the creation of poetry, a very important shift of focus occurred. Wordsworth's definition of all good poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" marks a turning point in literary history. By locating the ultimate source of poetry in the individual artist, the tradition, stretching back to the ancients, of valuing art primarily for its ability to imitate human life (that is, for its mimetic qualities) was reversed. In Romantic theory, art was valuable not so much as a mirror of the external world, but as a source of illumination of the world within. Among other things, this led to a prominence for first-person lyric poetry never accorded it in any previous period. The "poetic speaker" became less a persona and more the direct person of the poet. Wordsworth's Prelude and Whitman's "Song of Myself" are both paradigms of successful experiments to take the growth of the poet's mind (the development of self) as subject for an "epic" enterprise made up of lyric components. | http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/cs6/rom.html |

Content: Certain special features of Romanticism may still be highlighted by this contrast. We have already noted two major differences: the replacement of reason by the imagination for primary place among the human faculties and the shift from a mimetic to an expressive orientation for poetry, and indeed all literature. In addition, neoclassicism had prescribed for art the idea that the general or universal characteristics of human behavior were more suitable subject matter than the peculiarly individual manifestations of human activity. From at least the opening statement of Rousseau's Confessions, first published in 1781--"I am not made like anyone I have seen; I dare believe that I am not made like anyone in existence. If I am not superior, at least I am different. "--this view was challenged. Individualism: The Romantic Hero
The Romantics asserted the importance of the individual, the unique, even the eccentric. | http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/cs6/rom.html |

Headings: The following sections HAVE NOT moved yet:
Intersectionality, Worldwide and Other Pages
Content: The Reagan administration embraced a supply-reduction strategy focusing on interdiction, seizure and criminal prosecution, rather than a demand-reduction strategy that focused on public education and drug treatment designed to reduce demand for illegal drugs. The supply-reduction strategy adopted by the Reagan administration fits a war model of the drug problem. Viewing the drug problem through a war model implies that the perceived drug problem can be attacked through aggressive law enforcement measures designed to seek out and destroy contraband and interrupt distribution networks. These kinds of measures are more analogous to the military tactics one would expect to see in warfare than are demand-reduction measures, which are primarily social service based. According to Michael Tonry, the drug war was 'fought largely from partisan political motives to show that the Bush and Reagan administrations were concerned about public safety, crime prevention, and the needs of victims. ' While the drug war may have been initiated out of political motives, this assessment does not tell the entire tale. To understand the origins of the War on Drugs in its entirety, we must know what was going on in the cultural landscape that made it politically advantageous to fight a war on drugs. When Reagan declared war on drugs, a broad cultural change was underway in the United States. The country was moving from a period of relative liberalism that included skepticism toward government and authority and an emphasis on personal freedoms, to a period of relative conservatism that included respect for government and authority and an emphasis on personal responsibility. Reagan's very election to the presidency was in large part a manifestation of this shift in attitudes. | http://academic.udayton.edu/race/03justice/crime09.htm |

Reagan's very election to the presidency was in large part a manifestation of this shift in attitudes. Reagan was the embodiment of a mainstream reaction to the counterculture of the 60s and 70s. Part of this sea change in cultural attitudes was a different perspective toward drugs. In 1982, when the drug war began, the recreational use of illegal drugs was in decline. Tonry points out that in 1982, surveys conducted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse showed significant drops in drug usage over long periods for a wide range of age groups. This decline impacted the use of both legal and illegal substances. | http://academic.udayton.edu/race/03justice/crime09.htm |

Intersectionality, Worldwide and Other Pages
Content: Many citizens viewed drugs as a menace and many of these same citizens were readily supportive of Reagan's proposals to address the drug problem. This widespread public support explains the political value of the War on Drugs. The cultural environment created virtually unanimous bi-partisan support for an extensive and costly intervention into the world of drugs. Both Republicans and Democrats sought to exploit the public sentiment against drugs. The drug war also fostered a remarkable level of cooperation between the executive and legislative branches. In response to Reagan administration proposals, Congress quickly moved to pass and fund tough drug enforcement initiatives. Fueled by political considerations, the drug war took on a life of its own. For each anti-drug measure that passed, it became necessary to further escalate the war so that no one, Democrat or Republican, executive or legislative branch, could be called soft on this critical issue. In addition to shaping the methods used to address the drug problem, the rhetoric of war also shaped the impact of those methods, for a war requires not only military strategies, but an enemy as well. For the constituency the Reagan Administration was trying to reach, it was easy to construct African Americans, Hispanics, and other people of color as the enemy in the War on Drugs. | http://academic.udayton.edu/race/03justice/crime09.htm |

What kind of Authority does an Independent Agency Possess?
Comments
Content: The justification in regards to the existence of independent agencies is realized through an evaluation regarding the complexity of certain regulatory and supervisory tasks that mandate a specific set of skills or expertise. Furthermore, independent agencies are needed to increase productivity, efficiency and to mitigate corruption or unjust acts within the United States Federal Government because there is a need for the immediate implementation of public authority in certain areas or sectors; implementing such rules or regulations without the approval or renovation offered by independent agencies, would invariably invoke drawbacks of political interference. In addition to rulemaking and enforcing various aspects of administrative law, some independent agencies that operate alongside the United States Federal Government will perform audits or investigations of larger governmental bodies. What kind of Authority does an Independent Agency Possess? Independent agencies, either are part of the executive branch of the United States federal government, or possess some form of statutory authority to perform their basic functions regarding oversight from the legislative branch. Although independent agencies are separately funded and not primarily regulated by a government department or body, their actions are generally open to legal review and subsequent punishment. The majority of independent agencies in the United States are established to oversee and regulate specific industries to ensure that a transfer of goods or the creation of a new product is distributed to and implemented on society in the safest, most equitable and least troublesome way possible. Examples of independent agencies in the United States include the Food and Drug Administration and the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Content: It reduces the pressure from the tank to a safe level for you to inhale, and it supplies air on-demand. To accomplish these tasks, regulators have two stages: First stage - The first stage attaches to the cylinder. It reduces the pressure from the tank (3000 psi or 204 ATM) to an intermediate pressure (140 psi or 9.5 ATM). Second stage - The second stage is connected to the first stage by a hose. It reduces the pressure from the intermediate pressure to ambient water pressure (such as 1 to 5 ATM depending upon depth). The second stage also supplies air, either only when you inhale (typical operation) or continuously (emergency operation). The first stage consists of high-pressure and intermediate-pressure chambers, separated from each other by either a valve-diaphragm combination or a piston, which is in contact with the ambient water pressure. The high-pressure chamber receives air directly from the cylinder, while the intermediate-pressure chamber is in contact with the ambient water pressure through the diaphragm or piston. The system operates like this: | http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/outdoor-activities/water-sports/scuba2.htm |

Content: You inhale, thereby lowering the pressure in the intermediate-pressure chamber to below the ambient water pressure. The water pressure pushes inward, opening the valve or piston. The open valve connects the high-pressure chamber with the intermediate pressure chamber. Air flows from the high-pressure chamber into the intermediate-pressure chamber, thereby increasing the pressure in the intermediate-pressure chamber. When the pressure in the intermediate-pressure chamber equals the ambient water pressure, the valve or piston closes. The process repeats when you inhale again. Operation of a regulator's first stage

The water pressure presses in on the diaphragm membrane and moves the lever. The lever's movement opens the inlet valve. This allows air to flow into the second stage from the first stage, and into your lungs through the mouthpiece.

Content: A Work and Income New Zealand beneficiary advocating for eligibility to an accommodation allowance or a health and disability advocate advocating alongside a health service consumer for an apology from a general practitioner where the consumer believes her rights have been breached, are examples of case advocacy. Cause or systemic advocacy is where an individual or group advocates on the need to bring about changes to a structure, system, policy or legislation. This form of advocacy does not focus on an individual but instead represents the rights and interests of a group with similar concerns and issues. Systemic advocacy from the perspective of an HDC advocate could relate to a local service or it could be based on a regional or national service systems failure. Health and disability advocates are also required to bring any matters to the Commissioner relating to the rights of health and disability service consumers, which, in the advocate's opinion should be drawn to his attention. These types of referrals often relate to issues of public safety and are seen as systemic issues. Political advocacy is most effective when the lobbyist or advocate has some influence in the corridors of power. Lobbyists are usually interested in influencing policy and legislation at local and central government levels. This is part of the Director of Advocacy's role to submit submissions and comment on policy affecting consumers and their rights. Figure 2 - Continuum of Influence

In this article I’m going to tell you why Airbnb is better than hotels and the best Airbnb rentals in Bangkok based on price. Airbnb or hotels in Bangkok? There are a gang of reasons why I dislike hotels in Bangkok, such as: Stupidity – Bangkok isn’t quiet, if your hotel is facing the main road or construction site…. In a western hotel, the staff are competent to know this and will put you in the quieter side of the hotel if the rooms are free. In Thailand, they are too busy playing games on their phone to give a single **** about you and put you where they want. I’ve had friends been put opposite construction sites when entire rooms on the other side of the hotel were free.

Affordable Care Act history
Content: At the 2010 signing, Obama noted that it was a law that “generations of Americans have fought for and marched for and hungered to see.” The final hurdle was cleared in June 2012, when the Supreme Court upheld most provisions of the health care law. ( Read the Supreme Court’s rulings on the Affordable Care Act and justices’ rebuttals.) Twenty-six states and the National Federation of Independent Business had brought suit in federal court challenging the mandate that individuals carry insurance or pay penalties, as well as the expansion of Medicaid. The Supreme Court ruled that states could not be forced into cooperating with the Medicaid expansion, but left most of the other provisions intact. Much of the Obamacare political action came in 2009, the first year of the presidency. On July 14, House Democrats introduced a 1,000-page plan for overhauling the health care system.

France, Africa, and the CFA franc
Countries Using the CFA Franc
Content: A strong currency like the CFA franc makes exports from the CFA-franc zone much more costly than they would ordinarily be and as a result economic growth suffers accordingly. Since most of the countries that use the currency are poor, mostly agricultural economies, this has put a stranglehold on their trade and made them overly dependent upon continuing, privileged access to French and, though them, European markets. That this effectively recreates a quasi-colonial trading relationship between France and its former African colonies that benefits France mightily has not been lost on observers. One way to escape this dependency, of course, is to have a high-value export product like gold, oil, uranium, or cocoa that can sell even with an overvalued currency. Then, as in a country like Gabon – a major oil producer – the benefit of such a strong, overvalued currency becomes clear. Strong commodity exports can easily finance the importation of most everything the country, or, rather, its ruling elites, need. Since domestic markets and banking institutions are simply not developed enough to justify large deposits of export earnings, naturally enough these earnings are deposited back into Western — mostly French and European — banking and financial institutions. These transactions are facilitated, again, by the strong value of the CFA franc. So, what we have in the CFA franc is a currency area that greatly benefits the ruling cliques that run the countries, but otherwise provides very little in the way of benefit to the average citizen of the CFA franc zone. Sure, the lucky few who benefit from control of the economy may be able to import French wine and Japanese cars at a reasonable price, but the politically excluded – meaning the vast majority – are left behind as the economy does not develop and the society becomes overwhelmingly dependent upon a single, high-value commodity or export market for its economic well being. | http://afkinsider.com/41946/forex-africa-african-euro/ |

Was Enslavement New to Africa? Africans had been enslaved and traded for centuries —reaching Europe via the Islamic-run, trans-Saharan, trade routes. Enslaved people obtained from the Muslim-dominated North African coast, however, proved to be too well educated to be trusted and had a tendency to rebellion. Enslavement was also a traditional part of African society—various states and kingdoms in Africa operated one or more of the following: total enslavement in which enslaved people were considered to be the property of their enslavers, debt bondage, forced labor, and serfdom. What Was the Triangular Trade? Wikimedia Commons
All three stages of the Triangular Trade (named for the rough shape it makes on a map) proved lucrative for merchants. The first stage of the Triangular Trade involved taking manufactured goods from Europe to Africa: cloth, spirit, tobacco, beads, cowrie shells, metal goods, and guns. | http://africanhistory.about.com/od/slavery/tp/TransAtlantic001.htm |

The third, and final, stage of the Triangular Trade involved the return to Europe with produce from plantations on which enslaved people were forced to work: cotton, sugar, tobacco, molasses, and rum.

Regions of Enslavement for the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Alistair Boddy-Evans
Enslaved Africans for the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade were initially sourced in Senegambia and the Windward Coast. Around 1650 the trade moved to west-central Africa (the Kingdom of the Kongo and neighboring Angola). The transport of enslaved people from Africa to the Americas forms the middle passage of the triangular trade. Several distinct regions can be identified along the west African coast, these are distinguished by the particular European countries who visited the ports used for moving enslaved people, the peoples who were enslaved, and the dominant African society (s) who provided the enslaved people. | http://africanhistory.about.com/od/slavery/tp/TransAtlantic001.htm |

Imagine having to live in endless slavery, and having the fear of dying every day just because someone else thought you didn’t work hard enough. This is what happened in Central Africa during the European conquest and after the Berlin Conference. Imperialism and Atrocities were the worst in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is in the heart of Central Africa. Imperialism destroyed Africa in the 19th century, and also destroyed its future and what it could be today. The Europeans arrival in Africa marked the beginning of the slave trade. The Portuguese landed in the 1480s, and found that slaves were of good use to them. People and ethnic groups began to fight each other. By 1526, slavery was common in Africa. The slave trade caused thousands, millions of Africans to be traded. The Central African region was hit hard from this, especially the Democratic Republic of the Congo. | http://africasuntoldstories.weebly.com/imperialism-in-central-africa.html |

When you think of imperialism, what comes to your mind? Well, what should come to mind is Africa; more importantly Central Africa because of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or Congo for short. But what you probably don’t know is that the Eastern Region of Africa also experienced imperialism. What you may not know is who imperialized the majority of the Eastern African Region. Who imperialized Eastern Africa and why it was imperialized is what makes the Eastern African Region so unique. Who were the major “imperializers” in Eastern Africa you may ask? Well, the biggest two where French and German; the third largest imperialism was the British. | http://africasuntoldstories.weebly.com/imperialism-of-eastern-africa.html |

Eastern Africa was imperialized due to minerals and of course the Berlin Act. Eastern Africa was rich in minerals; some of the lakes on the Great Rift Valley are nearly all mineral contained. Even though the imperializers on the eastern coast didn’t have much impact on the Congo they did have some indirect impact. Since Africa is such a diverse country that is very reasonable to assume and research such diverse information about the country. If this country was taken over completely by Leopold, what would it be like today?

Content: Peisistratos, head of one of the large aristocratic families, seized power by force during a period of factional strife. Though many Athenians fled or were forced into exile (Herodotus 1.64), Aristotle's assessment of his tenure is positive: Peisistratos' administration of the state was, as has been said, moderate, and more constitutional than tyrannic; he was kindly and mild in everything, and in particular he was merciful to offenders and moreover he advanced loans of money to the poor for their industries. ( Athenian Constitution16.1-2)
Aristotle has further praise for the tyrants, at least in their early days: And in all other matters too he gave the multitude no trouble during his rule but always worked for peace and safeguarded tranquility; so that men were often to be heard saying that the tyranny of Peisistratos was the Golden Age of Kronos; for it came about later when his son succeeded him that the government became much harsher. And the greatest of all the things said of him was that he was popular and kindly in temper. For he was willing to administer everything according to the laws in all matters, never giving himself any advantage. ... | http://agathe.gr/democracy/tyranny.html |

Content: Many young persons from middle class backgrounds finished their years of education or training and emerged into an economic situation that was unwelcoming to their skills. Levels of payment for both urban and rural workers tended to fall leaving many persons in a situation where they could hope to survive, health permitting and quite possibly in over-crowded and unsanitary conditions, but found it almost impossible to actually prosper. Moreover, there was then no such thing as any system of social security in place to cater to the needs of those unlucky enough to fall on hard times through unemployment, illness or injury - or their dependants. The European Revolutions of 1848 begin
The Springtime of Peoples
The revolutions of 1848-1849, (sometimes referred to in the German lands as the Völkerfrühling or the Springtime of Peoples), can perhaps be seen as a particularly active phase in the challenge populist claims to political power had intermittently been making against the authority traditionally exercised by the dynastic governments of Europe. As with several instances of revolution in Europe previously that of 1848 was to have its major point of origin in France. Poor grain harvests, the appearance of blight - an extremely serious disease - in potato crops, and generally depressed economic conditions across much of Europe in 1845-6 led to sharply rising food prices, unemployment, and a radicalisation of political attitudes. Dramatic increases in the prices of food and fuel contributed to a situation where there were serious outbreaks of hunger-related Typhus fever, causing many fatalities. Trade was disrupted as there was less general spending as food came first where the poorest classes of people struggled to keep themselves fed and everyone found the necessities of life to be much more expensive. The levels of unemployment rose significantly. Such general economic dislocation brought with it increases in crime as persons broke the laws in their efforts to get food, fuel or cash. | http://age-of-the-sage.org/history/1848/revolution_of_1848.html |

In the absence of comprehensive national health insurance and pension systems, em- ployers confront high costs that increase as workers grow older, discouraging employers from hiring and retaining older workers. 2. In the absence of adequate lifelong continuing education that encourages and supports enhancement of job skills and development of new skills that keep pace with the job market, it is difficult for older workers to acquire the skills employers seek. 3. In the absence of an effective national health promotion and disease prevention pro- gram, and a modest investment in biomedical and behavioral research, conditions such as frailty and dementia among older people result in avoidance and uneasiness about old age, reinforcing stereotypes. However, ageism can be seen not only in these specific areas but also in making scapegoats of older men and women and in stereotyping them. It is seen in the deferral or denial of the realities of aging. Our language is replete with negative references, such as “dirty old man” and “greedy geezer,” that would never be acceptable if applied to any other group.

The joys and wonders of complete gender correction
Content: The surgical methods and the effects of castration were everywhere for the ancients' to see. It's use in the domestication of animals quickly taught ancient people that removal of a human male's testicles at a young enough age would prevent his masculinization too. Such a person would forever be childlike - or "girly". These surgeries were also often forcibly done upon captive adult male slaves in order to "domesticate them" as "eunuchs". Performing such surgeries on normal post-pubertal males does not change their gender feelings or gender identity, although is lessens their sexual drives somewhat and sharply reduces their ability to develop male musculature. The accumulating knowledge about the effects of castration was further extended to help MtF transsexuals: Untold millions of transsexuals over thousands of years have voluntarily sought and undergone surgeries vastly riskier and more dramatic in effect than mere castration. In these surgeries transsexuals are completely emasculated by total removal of the testes, penis and scrotum. In addition, the external pubic area is often roughly shaped to look like a girl's vulva. No one knows precisely how it started, but such transsexual surgeries were well known by the time of ancient Greece and especially in sexually-permissive ancient Rome, and were often traditionalized in various "religious rituals" that provided the resulting "women" with a place in society. | http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/SRS.html |

Earth’s atmosphere contains a specific balance of naturally occurring gases that trap the sun’s heat near the Earth’s surface. This “greenhouse effect” keeps Earth’s temperature stable. Humans have disturbed this balance by producing more greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane. As a result, Earth’s atmosphere is trapping more of sun’s heat causing the temperature to rise. How Outdoor Air Pollution Impact Indoor Air Quality and Health?

Then WWII came, and everyone who was in a factory was spending their time producing wartime goods for the soldiers over in Europe and at sea in the Pacific. Having an air conditioner from then on meant staying cool in the summer, staying warm in the winter, less humidity in the building, cleaner air and the air being able to circumnavigate the entire building. [ 2]
In today’s world, air conditioning is a must have. In California from 1995-2001, a group of scientists did tests to see what would happen to people if they did not use air conditioning. They wanted to see if the people would suffer or if their bodies would just adapt. The observations were that people were far more likely to go to the hospital without air conditioning. People were getting diseases, such as ischemic stroke, ischemic heart disease, cardiovascular disease, pneumonia, dehydration, heat stroke, diabetes, and acute renal failure. We need air conditioning in today’s world if we want to live a healthy lifestyle. [ 3]

Poverty, personality disorders, social and cultural factors, association with other users and previous incarceration or drug use are all factors. These issues all have an important role in understanding the risk of criminality and drug use. Drug Use and Prostitution
Drug use is intrinsically linked to prostitution, especially street prostitutes. Estimates reveal that between 40 and 85 per cent of all prostitutes are drug users. Many prostitutes, men and women, are selling sex to support their drug habits. Prostitutes are often the victim of violent crimes, rapes, assaults and other serious crimes; but, because of their lifestyle and the work they do, they are unreported crimes. Research has suggested that over 80 per cent of prostitutes had been physically assaulted, threatened with a weapon and were currently or previously homeless. Nearly 70 per cent had been the victim of rape. | http://alcoholrehab.com/drug-addiction/crime-and-substance-abuse/ |

Content: 1 out of every 6 women and 1 in 33 men in America have been the victim of sexual assault or rape in their lifetime. 15 percent of victims are under age of 12. Sexual abuse victims are 3 times more likely to suffer depression, 6 times more likely to suffer post-traumatic stress disorder, 13 times more likely to abuse alcohol and 26 times more likely to abuse drugs than those who have not been sexually abused. Sexual Abuse increases Risk of Substance Abuse
Sexual abuse in any form can lead to major problems for the victims. Substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, poor coping skills, antisocial behavior, depression, anxiety, future victimization, low self-esteem and problems in relationships are all a consequence of sexual abuse. Some studies have suggested that people who are the victims of sexual abuse may have an increased risk for substance abuse. Substances are used by victims for a number of reasons which include: * A mechanism to cope or escape the trauma of sexual abuse
* A way to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness
* A form of self medication
* To improve self esteem and boost confidence
* A form of self-destructive behavior or self-harm
Child or Adolescent Sexual Abuse
Child or adolescent sexual abuse can be defined as the sexualisation of a child or young person by an adult or peer. The abuse may include touching, penetration, voyeurism, child pornography or intercourse. The abuse may be violent and include rape, threats and physical abuse or it may be less obvious and include grooming a child to be sexual, coercion to participate or peer pressure. | http://alcoholrehab.com/drug-addiction/substance-abuse-consequence-sexual-abuse/ |

Child or adolescent sexual abuse can be defined as the sexualisation of a child or young person by an adult or peer. The abuse may include touching, penetration, voyeurism, child pornography or intercourse. The abuse may be violent and include rape, threats and physical abuse or it may be less obvious and include grooming a child to be sexual, coercion to participate or peer pressure. These sexual acts are imposed on children who lack the emotional, maturation and cognitive development to understand or to consent to these acts. The physical and mental health effects of sexual abuse on a child or adolescent often extend into adulthood. Many will suffer from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, further victimization, substance abuse, self harm or even eating disorders. These issues can be mild or severe and may not be linked to childhood abuse when first diagnosed. Evidence suggests that there is a strong relationship between childhood sexual abuse and the development of adult substance abuse problems. | http://alcoholrehab.com/drug-addiction/substance-abuse-consequence-sexual-abuse/ |

Content: Up to a fairly recent date, the major events recorded in the history books probably happened. It is probably true that the battle of Hastings was fought in 1066, that Columbus discovered America, that Henry VIII had six wives, and so on. A certain degree of truthfulness was possible so long as it was admitted that a fact may be true even if you don’t like it. Even as late as the last war it was possible for the Encyclopædia Britannica, for instance, to compile its articles on the various campaigns partly from German sources. Some of the facts—the casualty figures, for instance—were regarded as neutral and in substance accepted by everybody. No such thing would be possible now. A Nazi and a non-Nazi version of the present war would have no resemblance to one another, and which of them finally gets into the history books will be decided not by evidential methods but on the battlefield. During the Spanish civil war I found myself feeling very strongly that a true history of this war never would or could be written. Accurate figures, objective accounts of what was happening, simply did not exist. And if I felt that even in 1937, when the Spanish Government was still in being, and the lies which the various Republican factions were telling about each other and about the enemy were relatively small ones, how does the case stand now? | http://alexpeak.com/twr/hiwbtw/ |

In no case do you get one answer which is universally accepted because it is true: in each case you get a number of totally incompatible answers, one of which is finally adopted as the result of a physical struggle. History is written by the winners. In the last analysis our only claim to victory is that if we win the war we shall tell fewer lies about it than our adversaries. The really frightening thing about totalitarianism is not that it commits ‘atrocities’ but that it attacks the concept of objective truth; it claims to control the past as well as the future. | http://alexpeak.com/twr/hiwbtw/ |

Benefits to the Rush
Content: The Gold Rush also helped California achieve statehood in 1850. Belonging to the United States meant a stable government and military protection. California’s statehood helped people pursue the transcontinental railroad linking America's east and west coasts. The gold rush was great to California and even benefited the United States as a whole. If it had not have been for the California Gold Rush, the USA would not have changed in many good ways. The gold rush helped the U.S. federal government. Since the United States spent so much money on the Mexican War, the Gold Rush helped bring back money into the treasury. " I have no hesitation in saying there is more gold in the country drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers than will pay the cost of the war with Mexico a hundred times over." Mason, an investigator of the river wrote this in a letter to Washington. The money from the gold rush helped finance the Civil War. | http://aliciagoldrush.weebly.com/the-gold-rush-benefits.html |

I have always viewed the term 'holistic' as 'whole-istic'---meaning that one approaches the patient as a 'whole' person and takes into account not only body, mind, and spirit, but culture, family, friends, and life experience. ( In short, everything that makes us who we are.) I'll use a resident from my assisted living facility as an example: I learned very early in my association with this woman that all the medication in the world cannot "fix" a human being suffering from spiritual pain. She's lived with chronic pain for many years, but during the course of several rather lengthy discussions with her, I found that as life has become harder for her over the years, the worse the pain has become. Now her spouse of 56 years is dying in a nursing home across town, and the pain is intractable despite massive doses of fentanyl, Vicodin, Neurontin, and amitriptyline. She has always had fibromyalgia and arthritis; but it only became impossible to live with when her husband was transferred a couple of months ago. | http://allnurses.com/holistic-nursing/-quot-holistic-quot-197702.html |

This is what comes to mind when I think of a holistic approach: When you ask your patient how she's doing today and she replies that her abdominal incision isn't hurting as much as yesterday, you repeat the question ("great, how are YOU doing today?") Knowing that beneath that gown may look like all the others but is unique and plays many roles, perhaps a sister, a mother, a teacher, a daughter, a spiritual being, a member of the community, a member of a culture, a member of a socio-economic group, oh... and a person that just had abdominal surgery. 0 Likes

Holistic means taking as much of th whole person into account when treating them for an illness. Mind, body, soul, spirit, culture, etc...Basically don't be a reductionist and merely focus on the measurable components.

Made these for New Year's Eve - what a treat!! I split the meat about half way through and used a skewer inserted just under the tail and run the whole length to keep them from "curling". Then, I spread the shell so that it was "open". I broiled them one up from the bottom rack to prevent burning with two one pound tails, and left he door open to watch them intently! I drizzled with garlic butter several times during the cooking process, as well as putting about a half cup of water in the bottom of the broiling pan (to help keep them moist - the water becomes steam during cooking). Keep in mind that frozen lobster tails WILL BE tougher than fresh - no matter what you do, so take great care cooking, or you will loose flavor and the lobster will be "rubbery". All that said, cooking time took longer than some folks for 1 pound tails, about 30 minutes, but well worth it!! The flavor was fabulous!! | http://allrecipes.com/recipe/34638/broiled-lobster-tails/ |

I have used this recipe a couple of times. I modified it by adding the salt, pepper and a little white cooking wine (1/4 cup? I didn't measure) to the melted butter. Using a basting brush, I basted the lobster meat with about half of the butter/wine mixture before broiling. | http://allrecipes.com/recipe/34638/broiled-lobster-tails/ |

Content: I used canola oil and butter and dried off potatoes with paper towel after cutting them and they were nice and crispy when cooked. The key is not to keep stirring the potatoes if you want them crisp on the outside. I put some diced bell pepper and chopped onions. Also garlic powder and onion salt to taste. Thanks for giving me the idea for a nice compliment with our Saturday morning omelettes and fruit. Read More

If you slice the potatoes instead of cubing them the cooking time is about right. I did 15 mins cover on and 10 off. I like this version of home fried potatoes...if you want the crispy version fry them in oil. | http://allrecipes.com/recipe/71803/quick-and-easy-home-fries/ |

Thank you! To me, this is the ultimate fashion magazine. It's always got a brilliant cover, beautiful layout and design, and I love just thumbing through the pages and looking at the gorgeous photography. I like Vogue because it has the best of the new runway looks. Even if some of the featured pieces are too pricey for me, I can usually make the looks featured from pieces from cheaper stores.

Is Modest Truly Hottest? From a Guy’s Perspective
By definition, modest cannot be hottest.
Is Modesty More Beautiful?
What Is Beauty?
Here’s the secret:
A modestly dressed woman emanates this almost tangible aura of dignity.
But you know what is true? All those women in magazines, billboards, TV commercials: ugly. They’re so ugly!
Modesty is putting the importance of others above yourself.
Content: It’s almost intimidating. Of course, this whole façade crumbles if she acts in a selfish and immodest manner, yet I still find this air modesty produces very strange, and I don’t know if this is the case for all guys. It might just be this way for me because I’ve become so used to being around immodestly dressed women, modesty seems more alien to me personally. But you know what is true? All those women in magazines, billboards, TV commercials: ugly. They’re so ugly! And I’m sorry if I’m being too harsh. I know those models, and everyday girls who dress immodestly, are people too, but the way they present themselves is ugly. But how can I say that? | http://alovelycalling.com/2015/07/10/modest-hottest-from-a-guy/ |

Cold War coups and proxy wars
A cartoon interpretation of small proxy conflicts during the Cold War
The United States (US) and the Soviet Union (USSR) did not go to war with each other between 1945 and 1991. Instead, both superpowers wielded global power and influence by manipulating smaller nations. They did this in many ways – through diplomacy, treaties and alliances, by providing aid or trade deals and by supplying arms, military equipment and training. Both superpowers were also involved in numerous coups and proxy wars. During the Cold War, several democratically elected leaders were replaced with puppet governments, military juntas or dictators.

An age of foreign interference
Foreign interference became a hallmark of the past-World War II era, even its first months. Soviet political interference in eastern European nations was a contributing factor to the Cold War and the formation of an Iron Curtain separating Eastern and Western Europe. During the late 1940s, the United States offered support and inducements to shape the political future of smaller nations. These included promises of political recognition and backing, promises of financial aid (such as the Marshall Plan ), bilateral and multilateral treaties, economic and trade agreements, and the provision of military training, weapons and equipment. Some governments and politicians could not be bought, however. | http://alphahistory.com/coldwar/coups-and-proxy-wars/ |

Some governments and politicians could not be bought, however. Where political leaders were determined to adopt socialist or nationalist policies, the US adopted punitive measures, such as trade embargoes or the suspension of aid. Where this failed, CIA agents were often tasked with bringing about what is today referred to as “regime change”. They did this by identifying enemies of the government or potential coup leaders then providing them with funds, weapons, intelligence and political backing. These American agents were seldom directly involved in coups or assassinations but they certainly contributed to their success. Coups and proxy wars
During the Cold War, the United States and its allies supported Cold War coups, attempted coups or insurgencies in a number of locations. | http://alphahistory.com/coldwar/coups-and-proxy-wars/ |

The Marshall Plan
General George C. Marshall, for whom the plan was named
The Marshall Plan was the population name for the European Recovery Program (ERP), a massive program of foreign aid rolled out by the United States between 1948 and 1951. It involved more than $12 billion of aid, the equivalent of $130 billion today. Marshall Plan aid was intended to assist with post-war reconstruction, though it came with clear conditions that shaped the development of recipient nations. Contents

First post-war aid
Members of the US government viewed the economic reconstruction of Europe as a matter of great urgency. There were two reasons for this. Firstly, economic instability would generate political instability and may lead to communist revolutions. Secondly, the future of US trade was dependent on a productive and prosperous Europe. In March 1947, United States president Harry Truman unveiled what became known as the Truman Doctrine, pledging US support for European countries so they could exercise self-determination and resist a communist takeover. The first practical elements of this policy came in May 1947, with the approval of aid packages for Greece ($400 million) and Turkey ($100 million). Both nations were highly unstable in the years following World War II and were at risk of Soviet infiltration and/or communist revolution. | http://alphahistory.com/coldwar/marshall-plan/ |

The European Recovery Program (ERP) was promulgated in June 1947. It became known as the ‘Marshall Plan’ after its chief promoter, Secretary of State George Marshall. Marshall explained the ERP in a June 1947 speech to Harvard University students: “Aside from the demoralising effect on the world at large and the possibilities of disturbances arising as a result of the desperation of the [European] people concerned, the consequences to the economy of the United States should be apparent to all. It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health to the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace. | http://alphahistory.com/coldwar/marshall-plan/ |

Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist.” Negotiating with Europe

American leaders scheduled a conference for July 1947 in Paris, to negotiate an aid package for rebuilding Europe and its economies. Delegates attended from 16 European countries; the Soviet Union, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary did not attend, the latter three withdrawing under pressure from Moscow. The European delegates drafted a reconstruction plan that required $22 billion of credit. Truman whittled this down to $17 billion and sent draft legislation to Congress in early 1948. Isolationists in Congress attempted to block funding for the Marshall Plan. They resented the expenditure of American taxpayers’ money on foreign countries, several of which had defaulted on their wartime debts to the US. | http://alphahistory.com/coldwar/marshall-plan/ |

Content: Many American businesses weren’t keen on reconstructing European industries that might grow to compete with their own. Some suggested giving food and material only, rather than credit. The left-wing in America and elsewhere condemned the Marshall Plan as an attempt to strengthen the grip of US-led capitalism on Western Europe. A few economic purists complained because of the plan’s significant interference in European markets. Despite these objections, Congress approved the Marshall Plan and authorised an initial payment of $5.3 billion in April 1948. Conditions on aid
Bomb damage in West Berlin. West Germany was a major recipient of Marshall Plan aid
By no means was Marshall Plan aid a ‘blank cheque’ for European governments. The US was determined to fund essential areas of development and avoid corruption or ‘skimming’. The Americans set rigorous conditions on Marshall Plan funding, reserving the right to cease this funding if recipient nations did not follow certain directives. The US Congress established the Economic Cooperation Administration (ECA) to oversee the distribution of its funds. | http://alphahistory.com/coldwar/marshall-plan/ |

In Norway, fishermen used a new type of net made from yarn spun in Italy. In Offenbach in West Germany, Marshall Plan leather revived the handbag industry. In Lille, Marshall Plan coal kept a steel factory in business. And in Roubaix, Marshall Plan wood maintained one of the world’s largest textile mills. In 1945, only twenty-five thousand tractors were in use on French farms – four years later, Marshall Plan aid had put another two hundred thousand tractors in the field. Overall, American investment in Western Europe grew apace, and more and more U.S. patents found customers abroad.” As this French image suggests, not all were happy with American aid to post-war Europe

The conditions on Marshall Plan funds, however, were not publicly advertised. Washington also offered ERP aid to the Soviet Union and Soviet-bloc countries, knowing that the conditions would make it impossible for them to accept.

The origins of the Cold War date back to 1917 when communist revolutionaries called the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia. The Bolsheviks were led by Vladimir Ulyanov, better known as Lenin, and their movement was based largely on the writings of Lenin and Karl Marx. A 19th-century political philosopher, Marx predicted the eventual fall of capitalism and the rise of socialism, or the ‘dictatorship of the working-classes’. The Russian revolutionaries sought to destroy elements of the old order in their country: monarchy, aristocracy, privilege, religion and exploitation of peasants and workers. They pledged to build a new society where the common people controlled their own destiny. | http://alphahistory.com/vietnamwar/cold-war-conflict/ |

A visual depiction of the Asian ‘dominos’ in the Cold War
As well as encouraging democracy and capitalism in post-war Europe, America also developed its own military strategy for resisting communist expansion. This revolved around two strategies: containment and the Domino Theory. The idea of containment was first expressed by the American diplomat George Kennan in July 1947. Kennan’s advice to President Truman was that America must contain the spread of communism by using alliance networks, financial aid and, if necessary, military force. If communist regimes and movements were not contained, vulnerable nations would “fall like dominos”. Communism and its agents were subversives who worked behind the scenes in fragile governments and societies. | http://alphahistory.com/vietnamwar/cold-war-conflict/ |

The struggle for Vietnam was one of the 20th century’s great human tragedies. Estimates of the number of people killed in Indochina range from two and a half million to more than four million. An even greater number were maimed, disfigured, orphaned, displaced or forced to flee as refugees. The Vietnam War was fought for civilians, by civilians and among civilians – and the majority of casualties were civilians. American planes dropped seven million tons of ordnance – three times the amount they had dropped in World War II – as well as napalm and chemical defoliants. This not only claimed lives but also devastated cities, buildings, infrastructure, farmland and vegetation. | http://alphahistory.com/vietnamwar/costs-of-the-vietnam-war/ |

America was deeply affected by these heavy losses and struggled to understand the meaning, significance and lessons of the Vietnam War. Many Americans simply chose not to speak of the Vietnam conflict, described by diplomat George Kennan as “the most disastrous undertaking” in 200 years of US history. Nevertheless, there was an inevitable wave of justifications, criticisms and retributions. Some declared that Vietnam was a nationalist conflict that Washington had no business intervening in.

Content: Many Americans simply chose not to speak of the Vietnam conflict, described by diplomat George Kennan as “the most disastrous undertaking” in 200 years of US history. Nevertheless, there was an inevitable wave of justifications, criticisms and retributions. Some declared that Vietnam was a nationalist conflict that Washington had no business intervening in. Its attempts at state-building failed utterly, beginning with its support for the post-war French colonial regime and its flawed choice of Ngo Dinh Diem as leader of South Vietnam, through to its propping up of Nguyen Van Thieu and the South Vietnamese Army (ARVN). Criticisms of US policy
Some argued that America’s violence against civilians in Vietnam – from incidental killings to atrocities like My Lai and indiscriminate carpet bombing – made the United States no better than the communist regimes it was seeking to contain. In contrast, critics on the political right argued the Vietnam War had been winnable but was lost by politicians who restricted terms of engagement, refused to authorise more firepower (including the use of tactical nuclear weapons) and left the army short of men and supplies. The defeat in Vietnam, they argued, was a betrayal of the US military by civilian politicians. These debates led to a revisiting of America’s Cold War leadership. Vietnam was the first significant military defeat in US history and would shape American foreign policy for several years. Shattered confidence
Confidence in the Domino Theory was undermined, if not destroyed. | http://alphahistory.com/vietnamwar/costs-of-the-vietnam-war/ |

Content: Even before the war had ended, Richard Nixon publicly declared the end of the Truman Doctrine. Public trust in the United States government was shattered by the Vietnam War and Watergate. It would take years to recover. Global confidence in America as the ‘arsenal of democracy’ also suffered. Washington withdrew significantly from foreign disputes and crises, becoming less interventionist and assertive. It also entered into a period of détente (‘agreement’) with Cold War rivals the Soviet Union and communist China. The practical impact of the Vietnam War on the domestic United States was also profound. Two decades of military intervention and bankrolling friendly regimes cost the United States almost $US170 billion (close to $1 trillion in today’s terms). These war costs stalled some of Lyndon Johnson’s ‘Great Society’ reforms, including anti-poverty measures and improvements to social security. Suffering of veterans

Vietnam veterans have often struggled to cope with the effects of war
The American soldiers who returned as veterans of the Vietnam War faced their own personal challenges. This started with their homecoming: the men of World War II had been welcomed home with crowds, ticker tape and fanfare – but Vietnam veterans were received with a combination of indifference, embarrassment and contempt. Many were unfairly harassed and abused by anti-war protestors. Though the majority of Vietnam veterans returned home without serious problems, a large number found the readjustment to civilian life difficult. Thousands struggled to find and hold down jobs, form new relationships and keep their marriages intact. | http://alphahistory.com/vietnamwar/costs-of-the-vietnam-war/ |

Post-war refugee crisis
Famine and destruction
Content: Many refugees fled Indochina in overcrowded boats, usually converted fishing boats, poorly maintained and unsuited to the open ocean. These boats were manned by fishermen unfamiliar with navigating the open sea and some even left without a specific destination in mind. From 1975 to the early 1980s, the world press was filled with horror stories about refugee boats sinking or disintegrating at sea, while thousands of refugees drowned, starved or were murdered by pirates. As many as one-quarter of these ‘boat people’ – as they became known – are believed to have perished at sea. The vast exodus of refugees from Indochina led to humanitarian camps being set up in Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia and other Asian countries. Almost two million refugees were eventually relocated to the US, Australia, Canada, France and other European countries. Famine and destruction
More than 40 years after the war, land mines still pose danger in Vietnam
The physical devastation of the war, coupled with the socialist policies imposed by new regimes, caused years of famine and suffering in south-east Asia. A decade of warfare left Vietnam, particularly its northern provinces, utterly devastated. US Air Force commander Curtis Le May once threatened to “bomb [Vietnam] back to the Stone Age”, a promise that was very nearly delivered.

The death toll
Conservative estimates tally World War I casualties at 12 million dead and 20 million severely wounded. In reality, both figures are probably much higher. Including deaths from combat, disease and missing soldiers, each of the major powers had losses in the millions. Germany and Russia lost by far the most personnel, though Russian record-keeping was so inept that its losses will never be accurately known, even to the nearest 100,000. Italy, which entered the war in mid-1915 and was not significantly involved on the Western Front, lost an enormous number of men, particularly in 1917. The losses incurred by British dominions like Canada, Australia and New Zealand were much smaller in total but more profound, given their small populations. Grief and commemoration
These alarming death tolls prompted a wave of grief and introspection across Europe, as governments looked for ways to commemorate the dead and families sought to mourn them. Years of sadness fell on European society after the armistice. As historian Jay Winter put it, the people of Europe imagined themselves “as survivors, perched on a mountain of corpses”. | http://alphahistory.com/worldwar1/human-cost/ |

1. The human impact of World War I was enormous. Estimates vary considerably but at least 12 million people were killed and 20 million were severely wounded. 2. The high death toll led to a deep and widespread public grief. Governments and community groups worked to commission war cemeteries, memorials and cenotaphs. 3. The frequent use of artillery and shrapnel left tens of thousands of men disabled or limbless. | http://alphahistory.com/worldwar1/human-cost/ |

REMODELING A HOME WITH LEAD-BASED PAINT
OTHER SOURCES OF LEAD
Content: Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking in lead from soil. Make sure children eat nutritious, low fat meals high in iron and calcium, such as spinach and low-fat dairy product. Children with good diets absorb less lead. Removing lead improperly can increase the hazard to your family by spreading even more lead dust around the house. Always use a professional who is trained to remove lead hazards safely. In addition to day to day cleaning and good nutrition you can temporarily reduce lead hazards by taking actions like repairing damaged painted surfaces and planting grass to cover soil with high lead levels. These actions (called "interim controls") are not permanent solutions and will not eliminate all risks of exposure. To permanently remove lead hazards, you must hire a lead "abatement" contractor. Abatement (or permanent hazard elimination) methods include removing, sealing, or enclosing lead-based paint with special materials. Just painting over the hazard with regular paint is not enough. | http://alsnetbiz.com/homeimprovement/info1.html |

Content: And the way victims die is far from pleasant. “Ebola virus infection starts with something that looks like the flu – headache, fever, maybe diarrhoea. But then you can develop very fast bleeding that’s uncontrollable, and that’s how people die.” Easy to fight
There is no cure for Ebola, but in theory the disease should be easy to fight, Piot said. “You need really close contact to become infected. So just being on the bus with someone with Ebola, that’s not a problem.” Simple hygienic measures like washing with soap and water, not re-using syringes, and avoiding contact with infected corpses are sufficient to stop spread of the disease, Piot said. “This is an epidemic of dysfunctional health systems.” “Fear of the virus, and the lack of trust in government, in the health system, is as bad as the actual virus.” What happens “is that a person is infected, is hospitalized, infects other patients and particularly health care workers.” | http://amanpour.blogs.cnn.com/2014/07/02/scientist-who-discovered-ebola-this-is-unprecedented/ |

Content: Cold water lobsters are usually sold whole because the claw meat is so highly prized. Warm water lobsters can grow to one pound in weight within two to three years and can add a pound a year. Live lobster
If you want the succulent claw meat, get fresh, live Maine lobsters which are available all year round. Maine lobsters are usually from 1 1/2 to 2 pounds. Anything under one pound is illegal. A typical 1 1/2 pound lobster will have less than one pound of raw tail and claw meat. Occasionally three to four pounders are caught but they usually go to restaurants. It takes cold water lobsters seven years to grow to one pound, and three years to add a second pound, so most are 7 to 10 years old. Pick an animal that is lively, walking or swimming. A listless specimen with a curled tail and meat visible between the tail and the upper thoracic carapace is a bad choice. | http://amazingribs.com/recipes/seafood/grilled_lobster.html |

Content: Alas, there is a lot less meat in a “shedders”. These “softies” are almost impossible to find outside Maine because they don’t ship as well as hard shells. Even in Boston they are rare. When it comes to cooking lobster, Blonder’s advice is “Keep it simple, or you’ll obscure the flavor of the sea.” My advice: “ Gather ye lobsters while ye may, for tomorrow ye shall surely become allergic.” Lobstah myths
If you boil a lobster, it does not scream. The whistling sound is air and steam passing through the shell. There is no evidence that early New Englanders, or their slaves, or their servants, or prisoners, or anyone else were required to eat lobster or salmon twice a week because they were so abundant. But this is no myth: | http://amazingribs.com/recipes/seafood/grilled_lobster.html |

Soon after the Spenkelink execution, former San Francisco official Dan White received a prison sentence of seven years and eight months in prison for killing two people—the Mayor of San Francisco and another city official. Anyone who follows the news can point to similar disparities. Would the outcome be much different if we decided for life or death by rolling dice or spinning a roulette wheel? 4.

Massachusetts Bay Colony was settled in 1630 by a group of Puritans from England under the leadership of Governor John Winthrop. A grant issued by King Charles I empowered the group to create a colony in Massachusetts. While the company was intended to transfer the wealth of the New World to stockholders in England, the settlers themselves transferred the charter to Massachusetts. By so doing, they turned a commercial venture into a political one. Fast Facts: Massachusetts Bay Colony
