Border Action Network
aka Border Alliance Group
Fanatical Mexican Invasion Boosters, Fifth Columnists,
Hardcore Traitors and Radical Open-borders Nuts
This group is suspected of being closely tied to left-wing radical Morris Dees and his Southern Poverty Law Center, 'Mexican government agent' - vehement reconquista Isabel Garcia and her Aztlan gang, 'Derechos Humanos', and other anti-American groups.
According to this Indymedia website, The Border Action Network formed in 1999 under the name South West Alliance to Resist Militarization to fight the human and environmental injustices caused by the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border. In recognition of the broad and complex impacts of militarization, we are an alliance of border rights, environmental, social justice, human rights, and labor activists. Border Action Network is dedicated to exposing and ending the militarization of our borders and cities. We also understand that this group is big in anti-war and anti-WTO protests, etc., which may have involved violence or terrorism in the past.

How effective are 9mm, .357 magnum and .45 ACP bullets against SAPI plates comparitively?
I would like to know the effectiveness of each of these bullets alongside each other against SAPI or other ballistic armor systems.
We are also aware that there are different armor types for different bullets, we would like to know the effectiveness in general.
Does it matter who we is? If you don't have any actual knowledge of it don't answer...
We're game designers and we need the information, if you don't want to share it you don't have to.

SAPI plates are designed to prevent rifle bullets from penetrating. Hell, the kevlar alone on the jackets would be enough to stop all of those (I've seen it with the 9mm and .45. I imagine not much difference from the .357 aside from the bigger punch).
Effectiveness of them all? They're all ineffective against SAPI plates.
Here's a .30-06 up against a plate. If it doesn't go through, those rounds mentioned sure as hell aren't going through.

i'm going to place homestead protection as being relatively ordinary: I own a forty 5 ACP, and shop it hidden and not accessible for intruders. I shop a loaded 357 on my area of the mattress, and a 22 vehicle on my spouse's area. My 357 is a Taurus tracker style, with hollow factor cartridges, and my spouse has a phoenix hands semi vehicle! If all hell breaks loose, her gun is to wake me up in worst case difficulty. i think a forty Cal is the minimum in cartridge, for homestead risk-free practices. I observed a meth addict take a clip of 9mm and stored in direction of his venture. i'm no longer merchandising Taurus, in view that I unquestionably have bought different weapons of their style after purchase, yet this 357 is astounding! it is likewise a gun that if stolen, I wont cry over. i do no longer see a Meth situation the place I stay now, yet prefer to guard my family members if that style of human being breaks into my homestead. The ammo is extra high priced than lighter calibers, however the small physique, and brief barrel shop me with a able gun that optimistically i'm going to under no circumstances ought to apply! only my 2 cents...

SAPI Plates can stop everything up to a .30-06... iSAPI Plates can stop everything up to a .30-06 AP; that includes 7.62x39 AP and 7.62x54 Russian AP.
An insurgent once tried to kill an American soldier by firing at him head on, only to see the soldier drop, then get back up quickly; eventually, said insurgent sniper was found and shot by the soldier's teammates and the soldier (a medic) eventually gave medical aid to the man that tried to kill him (ironic).
Add to that the high skill level of medics and surgeons and the close proximity of medical units to the frontline and the survival rate of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan is up to 98%.

Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Ternopil and Lviv are the closest regional centers of Western Ukraine, from which Bukovel can be easily reached. From airports, train stations or bus stations, you will have to find additional transport to reach the heart of Bukovel ski resort. There are a lot of problems, there is a lot of transportation and it is advisable to take care in advance so that the transfer is as convenient and convenient as possible on time and pocket.
Head to Polyanytsa on our pointers.
The choice of a transfer to Bukovel, in particular the villages of Polyanitsa, where the villa “Elena” is located, will depend on which of the corners of Ukraine you will be visiting us and what is your priority; comfort or desire to save on driving. If you get to our hotel complex on your own car, we want to warn in advance – part of the road will be a test for your car, so asphalt cover requires a better desire. Road map in Polyanitsa – we suggest to observe the following links:
- Ivano-Frankivsk – Polyanytsya: http://della.com.ua/distance/?cities=5528,29496
- Lviv – Polyanytsya: http://della.com.ua/distance/?cities=0,29496
- Chernivtsi – Polyanytsya: http://della.com.ua/distance/?cities=0,29496
It is more convenient to get from the regional centers, of course, by taxi. Especially, it will be profitable if your company is with several people and you follow Bukovel from Ivano-Frankivsk. Taxi drivers at the train stations will ask for more times, so it is better to call the car through the service operator. (Do not forget to pre-specify the cost of the path to the Polyanitsa!). Taxi services:

- Lviv: http://catalog.taxiservice.com.ua/taxi-lviv.html
- Chernivtsi: www.taksiua.com/taksi-chernovci
The transfer can also be ordered from carriers specializing in the transfer of tourists ski resorts:
An economical option, of course, will be buses and minibuses. Their cost will not exceed several tens of hryvnias. And the timetable of movement can be observed by the links:

SYDNEY – The fight over ownership of Australia’s huge power grid is taking shape as a test of the country’s attitude towards foreign investment in critical infrastructure, months after Canberra tightened approval rules for overseas owners.
AusNet Services, which owns and operates the electricity transmission network and gas and electricity distribution assets in Victoria’s second most populous state, is at the center of competition between Canadian investment firm Brookfield and Australia’s largest pipeline operator, APA Group.
Brookfield is already considered a favored bidder after initially securing an exclusive right to in-depth verification, after making a total cash offer of A $ 9.6 billion ($ 7.3 billion).
This is the first time since the introduction of the new rules that the majority share in the perceived “sensitive” assets is sold, and the participation of the Canadian company means that global investors are paying great attention.
Given that the rules reflect Australia’s sensitivity, especially to investments by Chinese state-owned companies, an additional twist in AusNet is that one of the vendors would be the Chinese State Network Corporation, which currently owns 19.9% of the company. Approving the deal would remove the State Grid from the image.
“It’s a big case, it’s pretty prominent,” said Tin-Lok Shea, special adviser at H&H Lawyers in Sydney. “If approved, it will be the first time (since January) that a 100% stake will change ownership. It will be a very important transaction.”
“I think there will be concerns if this one is rejected,” he said, “because that would then send a message about Australia’s investment appetite.”
The final decision depends on the state Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB), which has blocked a number of deals in recent years for reasons of national security.
AusNet’s largest shareholder is also a foreign company: Singapore Power, which owns 32.3%. State Grid is the second largest shareholder, while the balance of about 48% is publicly traded. Since the new rules on foreign investment only apply to new transactions, the previous owners were not affected.
Neither of them has yet shown their hand in public, but both now face a range of options for their ownership. They could either accept Brookfield’s cash offer and abandon the investment altogether with a large profit, or they could negotiate retaining a partial stake. Alternatively, they could accept an offer of cash and shares from APA, which would give them a minority stake in the pipeline company.
Each of these options represents a test of FIRB’s sensitivity to critical energy infrastructure, but some analysts believe Canberra might be inclined to support sales to see the back of the state network.
The resolution could come as early as next month, when the AusNet board will meet with shareholders at the company’s annual general meeting. The winning bidder will then knock on the regulator door for approval.
UBS analyst Tom Allen said he expects the FIRB to apply a high scale because electricity transmission is considered one of the most critical types of infrastructure from a national security perspective.
The changes, introduced on January 1, introduced a national security test for all foreign investment offers for sensitive assets, which now include transactions on a broader list of sectors including defense, telecommunications, gas, electricity, water, ports and more.
The new laws also expanded the powers of the federal government, allowing the treasurer to review or impose terms on the business, and even force the sale, once the deal is approved, if he believes national security is at stake.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said last year that all foreign investors would face greater control when bidding for sensitive assets, regardless of the size of the deal and whether the buyer is privately or state-owned, citing the need to balance economic and national security.
“Technology has evolved, and our geopolitical climate has become more complex. In fact, governments around the world see that foreign investment is being used for strategic purposes, not just commercial ones,” he said at the time.
Even before stricter rules were established, Canberra began shrinking openings as recent geopolitical tensions with China’s leading trading partner spilled over into trade and investment.
In 2018, the nation was ranked fifth in terms of restrictiveness among OECD countries due to its difficult regime of checking and approving foreign direct investment.
Last year, it blocked the sale of the lion’s milk industry and drinks in the amount of 600 million Austrian dollars to the Chinese dairy Mengniu for reasons of national security, which was considered a response to small attempts by Beijing, which hit several Australian exporters with trade sanctions.
The government has also forced the withdrawal of the $ 300 million bid by China State Construction Engineering Corp. for the purchase of the Australian construction company Probuild on similar grounds.
“The tightening of these rules has meant that Australia has become, on paper, one of the most restrictive places to invest,” said Shiro Armstrong, an associate professor at the Australian National University.
The AusNet deal comes at a time when demand for Australian infrastructure is high as global investors are looking for low-risk assets with stable earnings amid growing instability and low interest rates.
Spark Infrastructure signed a $ 3.7 billion contract in August that was taken over by a consortium that included U.S. private equity group KKR and two Canadian pension funds. The transaction is awaiting FIRB approval, although it is likely to get the green light, as Spark owns only minority stakes in electricity grids in Australian states.
Sydney Airport Holdings, which operates Australia’s largest airport, is also in talks with a group of pension funds and global infrastructure partners based in the US about a $ 17.3 billion buyout.
AusNet itself represents an attractive opportunity to invest in a regulated monopoly – it is the operator of the only electricity transmission network in Victoria – and several electricity and gas distributors, with assets of over 11 billion Austrian dollars.
It reported net income of A $ 302.1 million for the 12 months to June 2021, revenue of A $ 1.92 billion and a dividend yield of 5.2%. Analysts expect growth to come mainly from planned investments in Victoria’s electricity grid, which will connect the Snowy 2.0 hydropower project to the state grid.
Still, investors are plagued by uncertainty under new foreign investment laws and are looking for indications of which transactions are welcome and which are not.
“We’ll get some insight into what conditions, if any, the FIRB imposes on the investment. The more sensitive it is, the more likely we are to see a series of imposed conditions,” said Jason Van Grieken, Melbourne’s partner at M&A law firm Arnold Bloch Leibler. .
“In a broader sense, it could give some insight into the scope of the way it will interpret this policy of national interests.”
The issue has already come to the forefront of the fight against AusNet takeovers, with the APA Group trying to win its own slightly higher offer of A $ 2.58 per share from the regulator because of its ability to keep vital infrastructure in Australian hands.
He argued that rival Brookfield would treat the target company as portfolio assets with its operations limited to the state of Victoria.
The APA, which has sought opportunities to diversify its existing gas business due to growing environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns, says it will instead expand AusNet’s electricity business nationwide and accelerate progress in renewable energy.
However, analysts believe that the takeover of AusNet by the APA could face a significant regulatory hurdle for the Australian competition regulator, given its dominance in the gas infrastructure sector.
Meanwhile, shares of AusNet continued to trade slightly above the price of Brookfield’s offer of 2.50 Austrian dollars, which indicates a probably improved offer of the Canadian company. Brookfield no longer has the exclusive rights of due diligence. Last week, the Australian takeover commission equalized the conditions, ordering that all competing bidders get equal access to the books of the target company.
“It’s already pretty close to the bull price, so I don’t think there would be a big jump from these levels,” said Julia Lee, chief investment officer at Sydney’s Burman Invest fund.
He expects Brookfield to come out as the winner, and shareholders will prefer his entire offer over the rival combination of cash and APA shares, though “they could see that it will sweeten the offer a little,” she said.

When the Malians couldn’t get visas, the team turned their attention to reviving a forgotten generation of legendary son cubano musicians and formed an on-the-fly ensemble: the Buena Vista Social Club. Two decades since that fateful first session, we catch up to these master musicians, as they reflect on the magical unfolding of their lives—from humble origins to the evolution and surprising revival of their careers, all against the backdrop of Cuba’s dramatic history. Brimming with unseen concert, rehearsal, and archival footage, this film is an emotional, shimmering celebration of music’s power to transcend age, ideologies, and class, and to connect us to each other through our souls.

Author's note: My disclaimer was deleted when I pasted the story in from my word processor. Sorry about that guys. I obviously don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer as that belongs to Mutant Enemy and I'm posting this on a FANfiction site. I should have the first real chapter coming by the end of the week. Normally they'll be around two thousand words. I literally posted this just to stop myself from taking three months to edit it.
Yeah the whole 'jump into giant portal' thing wasn't his best idea ever, Xander Harris readily admitted that; however he would swear to his dying breath that saving 'his' girls was the right thing to do.
Now he just had to solve the problem of where on Earth, or off-Earth as he feared, he was going to land. With a low groan he smacked into soft ground as the swirling green light show came to a close. "Oof...where am I?"
He thought to himself as he attempted to blink away the dizziness. It took him a few minutes to stop the world from spinning, but he finally got his body and mind under control enough to glance around.
"A...a beach?" He asked to the salty breeze with an incredulous tone, "I mean...I was thinking Hell but...a BEACH?"
Just then the gorgeous midday sun was blocked out as a shadow fell over him. "Ark sentra bon illy porvou?" A deep voice rumbled from behind him. The young man jumped up and spun around in a defensive stance.
"Wha-what? Umm...English dude?" Xander stammered out as he took in the interloper's appearance. He was facing a slightly balding middle-aged looking man who appeared to be very fit but was dressed in the strangest robes. The man sighed and waved his hand at Xander, his briefly glowing hand.
"MAGIC?!" The boy scrambled back away from the apparent wiccan.
The older man rolled his eyes, "A simple translating spell since you obviously didn't understand simple Atlantean. You aren't one of those barbarians from shore either so who are you boy?"
The lost boy blinked before he started laughing, "Ah haha Atlantean? Pull the other one mister! Ohahaha the Lost City of Atlantis is a legend everyone knows that!" He calmed himself a little. "Oh wait! Where's Aquaman? Or Namor? Or wait! King Triton? Ahahaha...ha...ha?" He gulped at the look on the man's face.
"Boy...what year is it?" The mage didn't wish to know the answer to this question but he feared it would be relevant.
"2001 of course...well at least it was before I went through the portal of evil mo...jo...oh boy." It finally dawned on Xander, "I'm not in Kansas anymore."
"I've never heard of Kansas...so we can assume here is not there. You're on the continent of Atlantis about five miles from the capital city." The man groaned. "Come on follow me." With only a little hesitation Xander followed him.
-----------Five months later---------
Alexander had been taken in by a fairly high ranking mage, Merostipher Lurkel, and had been shown how to make a living in the city. He had discovered an inherent talent for Alchemy, a semi-magical art involving the transmutation of elements and semi-magical forced bonding and control of chemicals. Merost was not an Alchemist and had thus referred young Xander to a friend of his, the man who would become Xander's mentor in the ways of creating Living Metal, among other things.
Even his Alchemy training could not keep the time-traveler fully occupied. Alexander was often busy going over archives of magical tablets and historical data. He discovered that Atlantis had arisen out of the Golden Age following the creation of the First Slayer and the banishment of Demons from this plane of existence. From what Xander could tell, due to the lack of any other civilizations thanks to the isolationist Atlanteans, he was a good twelve thousand years in the past.
A small tremor shook the Hall of the Histories as it loosely translated into English. Looking up from the tablet about Slayers, Xander huffed, "Something must be wrong with the weather spells. We've been having a lot of these tremors lately."
Truth be told he was getting nervous, he was just starting to consider Atlantis home; but Xander knew that eventually the entire continent would sink. "And why am I certain I just so happened to pop in right before an Apocalypse?"

A novel checklist for anesthesia in neurosurgical cases
Ghaly RF, Kushnarev M, Pirvulescu I, Perciuleac Z, Candido KD, Knezevic NN. A novel checklist for anesthesia in neurosurgical cases. Surg Neurol Int. 2021 Apr 26;12:184. doi: 10.25259/SNI_285_2021. PMID: 34084612; PMCID: PMC8168675
Throughout their training, anesthesiology residents are exposed to a variety of surgical subspecialties, many of which have specific anesthetic considerations. According to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirements, each anesthesiology resident must provide anesthesia for at least twenty intracerebral cases. There are several studies that demonstrate that checklists may reduce deficiencies in pre-induction room setup. We are introducing a novel checklist for neuroanesthesia, which we believe to be helpful for residents during their neuroanesthesiology rotations. Our checklist provides a quick and succinct review of neuroanesthetic challenges prior to case setup by junior residents, covering noteworthy aspects of equipment setup, airway management, induction period, intraoperative concerns, and postoperative considerations. We recommend displaying this checklist on the operating room wall for quick reference.

First off, lemme tell you this... RHV knows how to make an audience MOVE. I saw him live a few weeks ago, he was touring and promoting his latest mix CD, Big Floor Funk. He got pulled into Chaos Theory 2.0, where I saw him alongside a lot of local talent, as well as plenty of well known headliners. RHV, of course, was the biggest name there. Among his peers were the likes of Freaky Flow, Joey Beltram and Nigel Richards.
All that aside, I got the new album, and it's most excellent. Some old stuff (New Order - Blue Monday for instance), some new stuff (such as The Crystal Method - Born too slow), 4 original productions of his own, and a very tightly woven mix, where he manages to shoehorn a massive amount of tracks into a single CD. Granted, they're not long tracks, but it's a very dynamic mix that, if played on the dance floor would equate to non-stop motion.
Here's some pics of RHV that my friend and I took at the show... but mostly, I just wanted to say his new album absolutely rawks! I felt like sharing the photos though, since they're somewhat on-topic.
Oh yah...and some raver kids.

Arnold Beckman invented his first pH meter in 1934 at the request of a chemist from the California citrus industry, who needed an accurate way to measure the acidity of his product. The resulting instrument kicked off rapid development not only of Beckman Instruments, Inc. but also of the electronic scientific instrument industry.

The Crime Writer at the Festival: A Marriage of Inconvenience
Series 1, episode 4
James Lailey reads A Marriage of Inconvenience by David Mark, examining the consequences when the marriage between two authors turns sour
Database last updated: 12 April - 16:50


Recently, I attended a presentation at the Santa Clara Association of Realtors® office on to learn about Envision San Jose 2040. This is a project created by the City of San Jose’ planning group and the overview was presented well by Laurel Prevetti and Kim Walls. If you are not familiar with the project, you can visit the web site and download various drafts and supplemental information. I was excited to hear the plan, but came away feeling it lacked substance. This may be unfair as it is only in the planning stages, but I will be following this closely to see how it makes it way to real.
The first part of the process has great merit. Bringing people together from the various San Jose communities to allow for a community based input of ideas. The plan is to “complete 8 community workshops, 42 task force meetings, meetings with 23 community organizations, a bus tour, and an on-line engagement with 4,500 participants”. (Bus tour?) If you would like to see the results of surveys completed by the 2000 and some odd residence of San Jose, click here. One of the questions asked in the survey was which areas were “Most in Need” of a Neighborhood Plan to guide growth. It is interesting to me that Bascom Avenue/Southwest Expressway came up as one of the higher ranked areas needing a plan as there is a pretty good implementation of new housing both for sale and for rent, as well as a new light rail station at Fruitdale and Southwest Expressway. The East Santa Clara / 5 Wounds area had only began to add in new strip malls and housing when the housing crash happened. This end of town definitely needs attention to build a stronger neighborhood connection to down town proper. Stevens Creek was intended to connect Santana Row and downtown via the San Carlos Corridor renovation project. Lots of battles to be fought on that point, due to surrounding neighborhoods like the Shasta/Hester community and Willow Glen residents not wanting growth to impact their neighborhoods.
The other graph in the report clearly indicates that new housing needs to work with new mass transit systems. The future BART station and extended light rail stations need to be surround by housing. The priorities highlighted in the brochure indicates that “economic development” and “fiscal stability” along with “environmental leadership” are most important to the residents of San Jose. Next “Urban Villages” and “Transit Ridership” showed as key issues as well. There was much discussion about the demographic prediction for the next 25 years being more of a mix of “childless” urban dwellers. Both from the baby boomer crowd and the younger 25-35 professional group. These groups want places to walk for coffee, jump on a train to San Francisco, and are less likely to want to use their cars even if they are Prius owners.
The simple definition of envision is “to conceive of as a possibility, especially in the future; foresee”. The possibilities presented last week are great. I felt excited for for the direction in which the project is heading. With a $116 million budget deficit for San Jose (read proposals to fix here in PDF) it simply is not clear on how to bring this plan to reality.
Even though I understand the changes in demographics related to more “childless” residents, most clients I meet with are very interested in good school districts. The graph above indicating which neighborhoods need a plan for growth are the same areas that need a plan for better schools. The following screen capture is from the web site School Performance Maps.com and it indicates by color the API ranking of schools. In this image you can see the high performing schools (light to dark blue) and the poorest performing schools (yellow to red) and how geographically they align with the need for planned neighborhood growth.
I can’t sell downtown or the East Side without better schools and better transit options to Silicon Valley. An urban village needs to be connected, safe, and supported by performing schools. This is a critical component of San Jose’ future not only as a city but as a participant in our country’s future.
We could be the environmental leaders through technology, transit, and urban planning. We could be a beacon to other urban areas where communities thrive on all levels and not just on the flat surface of a microchip. But that’s my vision for San Jose 2040, when my son will be 40 and I will be… well, older.
There was one definite take away from this presentation for me was that I need to get more involved. How can I help grow the City of San Jose into the community that I can happily brag about to anyone in the world? How can I bring my expertise as a real estate professional to make sure not only smart planning for housing occurs but also ways where housing affordability and resale can commingle. Where value, if tied to a school district, encompasses all of San Jose school districts. If our future is tied to the success of our children then we should set out to be successful in making this verb envision actionable in our daily decisions as members of this growing urban village.
The next General Plan Update Task Force meeting will take place on Monday, September 13, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall at 200 East Santa Clara Street. The meeting will be held in Wing rooms W118, W119, and W120. Of course, there is a Facebook page that you can keep up with all the details. Of all the things we click when on Facebook, this might be one we should See you there?

White poultry may however reduce the risk. A serving of white poultry was associated with a 17% lower risk of breast cancer in women of all ages.

Yesterday, a Clemson professor and a Clemson graduate student—both black—went to Trump’s rally. The professor wore a traditional head covering that would quite obviously set off the outsized fear portion of the brains of many people in attendance. He took his seat like everyone else at the event. He stood, like Clemson fans do for the entirety of football games, while listening to Trump speak. Not longer after, members of the Pickens County Sheriff’s Department began following him. He was asked to leave. Eventually, those cops, dressed in pseudo-military gear, explained the reason.

Wireless charging for passenger cars has been slow to take off, but a recent demonstration shows the potential of the technology for commercial trucks.
The United States Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) announced in a press release Tuesday that, in February, it had demonstrated a 20-kilowatt bi-directional wireless charging system on UPS hybrid delivery trucks.
The system transferred power between a wireless charging pad and the truck with more than 92% efficiency, ORNL said. That was achieved with an 11-inch air gap between electromagnetic coupling coils in the truck and charging pad.
At the 20-kw level, it would take about three hours to fully recharge the truck's 60-kilowatt-hour battery pack, according to ORNL. Conventional charging cables would take five to six hours using the vehicle's built-in charging system, ORNL said.
The bi-directional nature of the system means vehicles can also be used for energy storage, ORNL noted, discharging power from their battery packs into the grid when needed. This arrangement has been tested multiple times over the years, but utility regulations would likely need to be changed before any commercial application.
ORNL wireless charging demonstration
The demonstration builds on previous research with higher power, but less distance between coils. In 2018, ORNL transferred 120 kw with a six-inch gap—about the same as the average ground clearance of a passenger car.
Wireless charging is commonly misunderstood as inefficient, but in some applications it could prove more efficient than cables because there isn't so much energy lost to heat over the length of the cable.
Commercially-available wireless charging systems exist, but are fairly uncommon.
BMW announced wireless charging for the 530e plug-in hybrid, while Mercedes-Benz began offering it as an option on its S-Class plug-in hybrid. The Mercedes-Benz system is due in the U.S. but hasn't yet arrived.
Plugless Power has offered an aftermarket system compatible with multiple electric cars—including the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S—for several years.

What a French Psychoanalyst Can Teach Us About Trauma
Jacques Lacan taught me how to listen to Robert.
Posted January 29, 2018
In my first post I described the beginning of my work with Robert, a trauma survivor who believed that he was truly an African prince who had been kidnapped at birth by African Americans.
Jacques Lacan is not a name that comes up often when treating survivors of trauma, but he should be. A leading French psychoanalyst who proposed a return to Freud, he gave yearly seminars in Paris from 1953 to 1981 in which he expounded upon his ideas. His writing is elliptical and dense with theoretical formulations rendered in his own idiosyncratic vocabulary. While Lacan was a practicing psychoanalyst, in the United States his work initially received greater acclaim among critical theorists and other academicians. That has begun to change recently thanks to the work of a few insightful interpreters.
During my fellowship at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis, a colleague recommended Annie Rogers’ The Unsayable to me in light of my work with trauma survivors. Rogers, a clinical psychologist who treats children who have experienced trauma, writes movingly of her own traumatic childhood as well as her work, focusing in particular on her treatment of a girl she calls Ellen. Ellen was repeatedly molested by a next door neighbor as a child, and when she first presents for treatment she cannot speak of it, cannot speak of much at all. Through the course of their work Rogers helps her find her voice, rendered most beautifully through her cello. Rogers dives into Lacan’s work through the course of Ellen’s treatment and finds in him a way to help Ellen make sense of herself and move forward.
Lacan’s most fundamental concept is that we are born into language, and it is language which structures both our conscious and unconscious thoughts. Language shapes the way that we experience and make sense of our world: “it is the world of words that creates the world of things.” In a sense this immersion in language can be traumatic; even those who have not experienced trauma per se are marked by the inability to fully articulate their hidden wishes and desires. Lacan taught Rogers a new way of listening to Ellen, one in which she paid attention to the ways in which her unconscious leaked out of her conscious through various signifiers: slips of the tongue, repeating words or phrases, dreams.
Lacan believes that all people share one of three fundamental psychological structures: the neurotic, the pervert, and the psychotic (the terms are deeply dated, but bear with me). For Lacan, fathers and father figures play an important role in the infant’s development in that they prevent the infant and the mother from becoming completely enmeshed and introduce the outside world which helps the infant develop their own subjectivity. For those with a psychotic structure, this fails to happen; they remain undifferentiated and unaccustomed to the world at large because it has not impinged upon them with its demands and its ways of making meaning. Those with a psychotic structure are placed outside of language, of meaning itself, and attempt to form their own meaning. The goal of treatment, then, is to help the patient develop their own sense of meaning and way of understanding the world. As Lacanian psychoanalyst Bruce Fink says, “delusional activity, when it is allowed to run its course rather than being silenced by a therapist’s intervention, eventually leads -- and this process may well take years -- to the construction of what Lacan calls a ‘delusional metaphor,’ a new starting point on the basis of which the psychotic establishes the meaning of the world and everything in it.”
Encountering the work of Lacan through his able interpreters Annie Rogers and Bruce Fink caused a radical shift in my work with Robert. I now see my earlier efforts in his treatment as an attempt to make sense of Robert’s story based upon my own preconceived notions. These efforts proved to be largely futile because we did not share the same language. Lacan’s thoughts on psychosis caused me to interpret less and to listen more.
By listening more I grew to a better understanding of Robert’s story. When he talked about witnessing his captors kill and eat children, I heard not only the terror in his account but also the unsayable of wondering how people related to him could seek to ‘consume’ him whole. When he described them taping rats to his body and forcing him to go to school, I heard the shame of being dirty, of being in need of basic parental care, and being ignored. When faced with caregivers such as these, it makes sense that Robert could think that they couldn’t possibly be related to him and that there was someone out there who had given him a name and a birthright. I also heard Robert’s attempts to make sense of his story, to have it recognized by someone else. In the last few months of our work together, he was engaged in a search to obtain his correct birth certificate that would prove he was who he said he was. I helped him describe why this search was so important to him, and by suggesting that his search may not end in success for any number of reasons, I guided him through alternative responses as he realized his life had meaning and worth even if his search wasn’t fruitful.
Robert’s symptoms began to decline over the course of our work together. He used breathing techniques and meditation to reduce his arousal. He began sleeping better. Although his beliefs about African Americans did not really go away, he began to talk about them much less frequently as he felt safe and less threatened by the presence of others. After a few years our work together had to end due to insurance issues, an unfortunate reality of community mental health. In one of our last sessions he described a recent walk through a park near his house. There was nothing remarkable about the day or time, but as he meandered through he suddenly felt present to his life in a way that he had not before. He sat down on a bench and spent hours there, listening to the ambient noise, feeling the sun upon his skin, enjoying the greenery. In itself this may not seem remarkable, but as we processed this both of us realized that he had finally become present to his experience in the moment in a way that he never had before. He had created his own way of being in the world, and that made him feel safe to stop and enjoy the sunshine.

If you haven’t spent your entire life in a cave, you’ve probably discovered that your credit score can make or break you. With a solid credit score, you’ll be able to get a low-interest credit card, be approved for a home loan, or even get an unsecured loan.
It’s no coincidence that the most successful people frequently have excellent credit scores. You can also apply ‘credit without income’ (also known as ‘Kredit ohne Einkommen’ in German language).
Image Source: Google
If you believe you have a poor credit rating, the first thing you should do is verify your score online. This may be accomplished in a matter of minutes with a few mouse clicks.
After you’ve figured out what your score is, go over your report to see if there are any mistakes. Credit reporting organisations might make mistakes that can harm your credit score.
Another thing you can do to improve your low credit score is to start repaying any debt you may have.
Because your credit rating is influenced by your outstanding debt, paying off some of it will help you improve your credit. Consolidating any outstanding debt you may have is also a good idea.
You will have reduced monthly payments if you consolidate your debt, which will improve your debt-to-income ratio.
After you’ve started paying off some of your bills, you should strive to start saving money. Always strive to save enough money to last a few months in case you lose your job or have an unexpected expense. Having a reserve fund is a crucial step in the process of rebuilding.

Evidence of refractory organic matter preserved in the mudstones of Yellowknife Bay and the Murray Formations
Wednesday, 16 December 2015: 09:45
3014 (Moscone West)
Volatiles from high-temperature (above 500°C) pyrolysis of drilled and sieved deltaic/lacustrine mudstones at Yellowknife Bay and Pahrump Hills were detected by the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument’s evolved gas analysis experiment onboard the Curiosity rover in Gale Crater, Mars. Mass fragments detected from the mudstones are consistent with C1-C4 alkyl and single-ring aromatic components that evolve at different temperatures and often in multiple phases. Concurrent release of oxidized sulfur (sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide), sulfide gases (hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, dimethylsulfide or thiol, and thiophene) suggest that either these gases are evolving directly from the mudstone or are products of gas phase reactions in the SAM oven, or both. Multiple chlorohydrocarbon releases are also observed in analysis of the Mojave mudstone indicating punctuated organic releases from the sample. The organic signatures observed are unique to specific samples and are not observed in blanks or all samples, nor can the SAM background explain them. These results suggest that geologically refractory organic matter has been preserved in some Hesperian mudstones despite possible acid-sulfate weathering (as suggested by jarosite in Mojave) and exposure to ionizing cosmic rays after exhumation. We will report on ongoing study of these samples.
