[Trigger warning: this post contains non-graphic discussion of suicidal ideation and attempted suicide, as well as non-graphic discussion of sexual assault and rape culture]
Whenever a famous person completes suicide, there is always public and media speculation as to why such a rich or successful person would want to harm themselves. Explanations are often overly simplistic: it was their illness; it was medications; it was substance abuse. I know the surviving friends and family members of people who complete suicide also wonder why or how this could have happened.
Personally, I have to answer what led to my suicide attempt every time I go see a new mental health provider. As part of my healing, I’ve also independently reflected on what led me to the brink of death. Over time, my explanations have evolved.
It’s as though every time I’m forced to revisit this experience, I unwrap another layer in what led me to that terrible place. There is no one, simple explanation. It’s multi-layered and complex, and requires multiple frameworks to even begin to comprehend.
It is my hope that sharing these perspectives can help deepen our societal understanding of suicide and chronic suicidal thoughts, so we might better address them.
When I was a freshman in college, I nearly died. I remember thinking that life was filled with so much suffering, and just not worth living anymore. I have experienced chronic suicidal ideation for decades. Yet freshman year was the only time I tried to take my own life. Sometimes I wonder, why was it different? What wasso bad that I thought death was the most obvious solution?
The most simple explanation is that the days were getting shorter; the darkness was causing Seasonal Affective Disorder. Combined with the stress of midterm exams, my brain spiraled into a depressive episode. Depression is a lying liar who lies, and I couldn’t see any way that I would really feel happy again.
My parents were extremely supportive and wanted to help; they took me to a specialist in adolescent mood disorders for further help. His explanation was one that I’ve carried for a long time: I’m bipolar. The medication I was on for depression triggered underlying mania.
Although I’ve never experienced a full manic episode, the doctor believed I experience “mixed states” and hypomania. What the specialist described as mixed states are often when I’m most at risk for hurting myself. I have both the deep despair of depression, and the energy to get out of bed and do something with those feelings.
After a year or more of trying to find a medication that would help, I went back to college. Rather, I transferred to a different university; my school refused to let me back unless I swore before the Honor Committee that I was “cured.” Apparently, by attempting to take my life, I had violated the school’s honor code. This response from schools is actually disturbingly common.
It is also part of why I didn’t ask for help when I was in crisis: I was afraid of being expelled. Systemic ableism in academia certainly played a role in my suicide attempt.
Sexual assault was also a factor. The school’s orientation included a section on sexual assault. At the time, I thought it was progressive to give women rape whistles and encourage us not to walk alone at night. I now realize that though this education was well intentioned, it situated the responsibility for preventing assault on the victims rather than the perpetrators. As I tried to be polite with my friends’ abusers, and wrestled with my own unnamed assaults, this kind of message burned in my consciousness. Perhaps it had been my fault. Why did I go with him? Why didn’t I carry a whistle? Why didn’t I say no louder, better? Why didn’t I make him hear me?
I can now name this victim-blaming as part of a larger pattern of rape culture. The stress of coping with it was certainly not good for my own mental health, and it also contributed to my own feelings that life was not worth living. Certainly, PTSD and trauma played a role in my suicide attempt. I was hypervigilant about walking alone at night; I worried about predators living in my dorm; I didn’t have confidence that the institution would take care of me if I spoke out about these problems.
I also knew there were abusers around me. Before I left for my first college, two of my friends had pulled me aside to warn me. Independently, they each wanted to warn me that a person who had assaulted them was going to my state university. More than that, they wanted to warn me that they’d recently found out their abusers were going to be living in my dorm. Neither friend knew each other; their assaults were somewhat different yet depressingly similar in the way that all rape is similar; neither of them wanted to have their experiences publicly known.
It was not my first experience with the whisper network, yet it was a difficult one. One of my friends’ abusers had used alcohol, so that she was too incapacitated to fight back or protest. In our new dorm, he frequently held drinking parties and served the same brand of alcohol he’d weaponized against my friend.
I felt like I couldn’t betray my friend’s trust, but also didn’t want one of my new college friends to have the same experience. I worried that even if I tried to keep my friend out of it, the whispers might somehow be traced back to me. I was worried about the same kind of negative attention my friends were. I was also worried that someone with a seeming pattern of abuse would not hesitate to use that violence against me. So instead, I went with my friends to the parties in his room. I drank and ate nothing, but tried to make sure there was a group of people there, and that they got back to their rooms safely.
I cannot begin to express the stress of knowingly being in the same room with someone who had hurt my friend so deeply, and trying to prevent it from happening again. The secret burned in me, as did his seeming flagrant disregard for the damage he had caused. I am grateful to my friends for sharing what they did with me, and I wish that they could have spoken publicly about what happened. I wish that survivors were believed, instead of vilified or blamed for their assaults. Rape culture made me long for death.
I also didn’t realize that all of this was forcing me to deal with my own sexual assault. I was convinced that I was simply concerned for my friends, yet I was experiencing symptoms of PTSD. It would take several years for me to realize it wasn’t just “bad sex”; I had actively been trying to refuse sexual acts. My lack of consent had been ignored.
There is no flashing sign that lights up when you’re abused which says, “This is abusive; you said no and this person ignored it. You did not consent to this. No one deserves this.” Rather, an essential part of how abuse works is to trick you into thinking that what happened is something you chose, or somehow your own fault. “Why did I date him if I didn’t want that to happen?” is one way this abuse and oppression is internalized.
On campus, I was jumpy and on edge. I was hyper vigilant; it was hard to sleep; I would lose track of my body in what I now know is dissociation. My feelings were many, and overwhelming. It wasn’t until I was able to namemy experiences as PTSD that I could access treatment. Meanwhile, the physical and psychological effects of my assault continued to wreak havoc on my health. I believe the stress of the rape culture on campus, the abusers in my building, and my own untreated PTSD contributed to my suicide attempt.
More recently, I’ve begun to add another clue to understanding my attempt: I’m Autisticin a world designed for allistics. There have been recent studies about how most Autistic people die before age 40; we are also at a higher riskfor completing suicide. The stress of systemic ableism and Autistic burnout play a role in this, as well as common Autistic experiences such as traumafrom bullying and “treatments.”
As I’ve learned more about this flavor of neurodivergence, I’ve begun to cope better overall by accommodating my sensory access needs, giving myself down time in between social engagements, a consistent routine, and stimming. When I went to university – both times – I had none of this information. I didn’t know that the typical challenges freshman face could be life-threatening with unmanaged Autism.
Without realizing it, I had been trying to cope with these multi-factorial stresses of my first university by regulating my sensory inputs. I was stimming more than I had in years. Yet I had spent a lifetime trying to suppress visible neurodivergencedue to bullying and other social stigma. I didn’t recognize these behaviors as the coping tools they were.
I worried that these coping skills were symptoms of an underlying pathology. I worried that they were unhealthy, when stimming is anything but. I tried to force myself to stop, to be more normal. In doing so, I may have inadvertantly contributed to Autistic burnout.
Currently, Autistic burnout is something mostly discussed within the Autistic and neurodivergent communities. It is not listed as a symptom of Autism in the DSM or most psychiatric organizations. Yet it is very real, and it can be deadly. It almost was for me.
I think it’s essential that we name that the individual problems I and others encounter are often symptomatic of systemic struggles. My suicide attempt was impacted by medications and their side effects, but equally devastating were systemic problems: delays in diagnosis; rape culture; lack of understanding and awareness about Autism; ableism in academia.
To quote Audre Lorde, “If I cannot air this pain and alter it, I will surely die of it. That’s the beginning of social protest.” Whatever individual factors may be at play in each person’s own wrestling with the void, we all live in this white supremacist, ableist, rape culture. That will surely play into any suicidal impulses that may occur because of brain chemistry. To fully address suicidality, we need morethan just medications and access to therapy. We need to help dismantle the oppressive systems that drive so many to wish for death.

Galesnjak Island, the Most Heart-shaped Island in the World
Galesnjak Island – tiny, uninhabited, no natural beauties, scanty vegetation, shrubs to be precise. As a matter of fact, it is a desert Island. By now you must be wondering what next demeaning description follows in the sequence. That’s not the case though. In a sharp contrast, the phenomenal Croatian Island is a meritorious wonder-of-the-world nature masterpiece, boasting of unrivaled popularity among all Earth’s islands. Thanks to its sensational distinction: a near-perfect heart shape. It leaves you outrageously curious whether planets also have hearts. If true, then this would undeniable be Earth’s heart: it is the most heart-shaped island in the world.
Located on the Pasman channel in Adriatic sea, the 0.135 km squared Galesnjak Island came into global limelight again – since Napoleon’s cartographer, Charles Francois, first documented it in the early 19th century – when Google Earth captured its unique shape in 2009, since which it has risen steadily as a star in the tourism industry. It has interestingly fanned up the world of romance. Lovebirds birds from all corners of the world are streaming in annually to get the feel of its marginal charm. Couples visit the Island for honeymoon, anniversary celebrations, and men choose it as destination to propose to their soulmates. Now it is dubbed ‘The Island of Love’, ‘Lovers’ Island’, ‘Isle of Love’, among other adorning names.
So, what’s the take from this heart-shaped uninhabited desert island? Bare in mind that there isn’t a single man-made building, let alone tourist facilities: just but a rocky terrain dotted with shrubs and olive trees. However, most people find its wild adventurous atmosphere irresistible. You can’t help but fall in love with the immersing isolation and tranquility. Furthermore, it is surrounded by the breathtaking and scenic emerald-blue waters of the Pasman channel and other Croatian wonders of nature. If you crave a romantic swim, there are several pebble beaches on site for you to free your spirit. What a paradise! Indeed a perfect set-up for everlasting romantic memories.
Love aside, Galesnjak has also been crowned as ‘The Island of Peace’, owing to olive trees vastly planted on it by the owner: the olive branch symbolizes love and peace. Plans are underway to connect it with other existing heart-shaped islands across the Earth’s waters in a project christened ‘The World Archipelago of Love’. This will indeed be a signature boost to tourism in Croatia. Moreover, the Ministry of Tourism in Croatia, together with the Croatian National Tourism Board, recognize it as a national treasure. Not forgetting, Galesnjak has also enjoys coverage from several influential media such as National Geographic, Huffington, among others, a clear indication that its popularity is bound to keep rising.
Although there are no buildings and facilities, Galesnjak Island still qualifies as an ideal chill-out, camping, swimming or picnic site to share quality romantic memories. There is no better way to rekindle passion, warmth and affection than traveling to this amazing island. How do you get there? There are no ferry lines to Galesnjak, and the only way to get there is via a boat or yacht. Fortunately, for tourist without their own vessel, there are many local Croatian charter in both Pasman Island and Zadar.

Locals has become a solution to one of
the biggest yet largely overlooked &
stigmatised problems of our times.
The Loneliness Pandemic
In the last few decades with the last two years of social isolation, the gap between actual and desired social relationships has grown tremendously, increasing one of the greatest problems in modern-day society: loneliness. Loneliness contributes negatively to our physical and emotional well-being. Researchers have found that loneliness is just as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes per day and compared with well-known risk factors such as obesity, diabetes stage 2; chronic loneliness is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Lonely people have a 26% higher risk of dying prematurely than those with healthy social relationships. Loneliness is the number one fear of young people today - ranking ahead of losing a home or a job. 42% of Millennial women are more afraid of loneliness than a cancer diagnosis. Among 18-34-year-olds, 42% say they feel lonely at least a few times a week. And the fact of being in relationships or in marriage does not impact this correlation. People even in strong and stable relationships still often feel lonely. Loneliness leads to increased use of health services and impacts negatively on the economy by decreasing employees and professionals' health.
Friends you’ve yet to meet
So what is loneliness and how can this problem be solved? We tend to believe (and scientists support us) that loneliness is not a disease, virus or mental issue. The good news is that loneliness is more like a hunger — a basic human need that should not be overlooked, stigmatised or tabooed. When you feel hungry, you eat. When you feel lonely - you simply meet new people.
The pandemic and isolation have tremendously contributed to the exacerbation of the loneliness problem. We all became introverts. We need to learn how to meet new people and make meaningful connections from scratch. Locals.org helps people to create mutual context and share their passions offline, putting the basis for social interactions able to provide meaning, purpose and value.
Just sex is not sexy
Meet up and dating apps are not able to do that, they are too random and are not able to build meaningful connections, that's why they don't work for most people. The world is full of people not interested in dating but still wanting to meet new people in real life.
Offline & Outside
Socialising in real life is and always will be a fundamental need of all human beings. The most common thing our users write in their profiles is - "I just want to meet new people". Locals.org creates a safe environment for people who want to meet new people, have fun, learn new things, feed their souls with emotions and build meaningful connections.

I have a question which I hope someone in this august gathering can answer. I
have an Anubias barteri currently in bloom and I was wondering if anyone knows
if Anubias are self-sterile or not. I've done some work with pollinating both
Callas and Spathiphyllums, so I'm familiar with the process but I don't want
to fool with doing it if there's no point.
I've read conflicting reports that Cryptocorynes are self-sterile, but I've
never had two plants of the same species blooming at the same time so I
haven't been able to test that theory myself.
Of course, I could always cross the Anubias with one of my Anthuriums just to
see what happens... but then what would I call the resulting plants (if any)
-- Anubitheriums? ;-)

A forward-thinking father wrote to me with a question about nudity. Specifically, he explained that when his wife is naked, his young children (a two-and-half-year old girl and 15-month old boy) don’t really notice much. Yet when he closed the door to the bathroom to shower, the kids want to get in and see what he’s all about. He wonders, “When should we draw the boundary in terms of modesty?”
Be aware of kids’ curiosity
Marking the line on being naked in front of the kids is a very personal thing. The fact that the man’s wife is comfortable being unclothed around them is fine, especially at their ages. With his daughter, his wife shouldn’t really have concerns about being modest for quite some time, if ever. With his son, his wife doesn’t have to consider modesty until he shows a change in his view of her. This change involves consistent curiosity in his wife’s anatomy as opposed to total disinterest. For most boys, this may happen as soon as age three or as late as age six or seven, when a lot of boys become sexually curious in an innocent way. At school age, they start to hear things from their friends and may even compare their bodies to other kids.
Note the differences between men and women
For the father, it sounds like he tends to be a bit more modest to start. This happens with many men because nakedness is not necessarily built into fatherhood the way it is for a lot of women. It may have to do with the biological connection women have as a result of carrying, delivering, and often breastfeeding a child. We, as men, have also become more aware of ourselves in an age when we are hyper-vigilant so that we will never be seen as inappropropriate in any way around our children. At the dad’s kids’ ages, he shouldn’t have to go out of his way to not let them see him naked. They’re naturally curious and their curiosity can be appeased by not trying to hide from them. Conversely, he also doesn’t need to make a special effort to “show off his stuff.” As with his wife’s relationship with his son, the father might consider being more modest around his daughter, even as early as three years old. With his son, the situation is more flux, if not a non-issue.
Teach basic anatomy and appropriateness
In both the father and mother’s cases, it’s probably best to not allow the children to touch their privates, even if they ask. They can tell them to check out their own parts, preferably in the privacy of their room or bathroom. At this age, it’s not necessary to break out the sex education speech, but they might need to answer basic biological questions about how pee comes out or how boys and girls are “outfitted” differently.
Modesty is an individual choice for the parent. One key to keep in mind is that we don’t want to teach our children to be embarrassed by their bodies. Staying clothed in public is important (though a naked baby at the pool or beach is generally acceptable), but nudity in private can be natural, particularly around the bathtime or morning when kids are changing into their day clothes.

AppArmor's security model is to bind access control attributes to programs rather than to users. AppArmor confinement is provided via profiles loaded into the kernel, typically on boot. AppArmor profiles can be in one of two modes: enforcement and complain. Profiles loaded in enforcement mode will result in enforcement of the policy defined in the profile as well as reporting policy violation attempts (either via syslog or auditd). Profiles in complain mode will not enforce policy but instead report policy violation attempts.

What Happens During Tooth-Colored Enamel Restoration
Enamel is the outer part of a tooth, and it gives your teeth the strength to bite and chew hard and soft food. However, you can suffer from teeth discoloration. When your teeth become discolored, the enamel changes its color. According to research, when your teeth change color, they can become yellow or black. If your teeth are not as white as they used to be, you don’t have to worry anymore. A tooth-colored enamel restoration is a cosmetic procedure where a doctor corrects the decay and color of your teeth. This cosmetic dentistry can also correct tooth decay and cavities. Newport Beach tooth colored enamel restorations specialists are the best you can book an appointment with for enamel restoration procedures. Below are the causes of the discoloration.
The primary causes of teeth discoloration
Every person can suffer from discoloration. According to research, there are many things that can make your teeth lose color. They include:
- Drinking alcohol and beverages. Many people like drinking beverages without knowing they affect their teeth. When you drink coffee frequently, your teeth may change color. Black stains start to develop, and as more time goes by they become stickier. When they grow firm, they cannot be removed through brushing.
- Medication. The primary way treatment is done is through medication. However, some of these medications react with your enamel, changing its color. According to research, medication can discolor your teeth permanently. Some acidic particles of the medicine can cause tooth decay and cavities.
- Genes. Genes are transferred from one person to another through birth. If your family suffers from tooth discoloration, you are likely to inherit the disorder from them. According to research, disorders inherited from family members can only be managed but not treated.
When your teeth become discolored, stains can lead to decay and cavities. Tooth decay can completely consume your enamel and the entire crown if not managed. Below is a way your doctor can restore your enamel.
Tooth filling for enamel restoration
The teeth-colored filling is one way of restoring your decayed enamel. However, it is good to know that not all decayed teeth can be filled. According to research, before the doctor goes ahead and starts filling your teeth, an examination is done. During the procedure, your doctor prepares a white substance that looks like cement. Your doctor then cleans your decayed teeth making sure no germs and bacteria are left. The cement is then applied in the holes and packed down using a dental instrument to make sure no air spaces are left. The same process is done to every tooth with cavities and cracks. After the procedure, your doctor polishes and cleans your teeth, making sure no spilled cement is left. The cement gives your teeth a white color.
Tooth-colored enamel restoration cosmetic procedures have helped many people to keep their teeth in good condition. This procedure helps to improve your smile and correct your decayed teeth. Enamel. General & Cosmetic Dentistry center is the best you can consult for dental services.

Specification & Datasheet


People with motor neurone disease (MND) have worked with doctors, designers and engineers to develop a device that improves their quality of life.
The ‘HeadUp’ collar is the result of a five-year project led by the University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and the NIHR Devices for Dignity (D4D) MedTech Cooperative hosted by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals.
The life-changing product, now available on the UK NHS, offers patients the support they need to perform daily activities like eating, reading and communicating. At the same time, it is flexible and comfortable, thanks to the use of an innovative thermoregulatory material originally designed by NASA to line space suits.
“Patients said there was nothing on the market or in the clinic that addressed neck weakness experienced by people with MND,” explains Dr Laura Evans, NIHR Sheffield Biomedical Research Centre – a one-year-old research centre partnered with the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience. “The available products included collars for trauma victims, which patients found to be too rigid, and foam collars which don’t give sufficient support. So, it was decided to develop something that worked for patients.”
With the help of designers, engineers and clinicians, patients tested around 100 collars, offering their expert user reviews on support and neck movement. The final product was launched in May 2018, after securing the CE mark required for medical devices in the EU and is already used by 25 NHS Trusts. Strong, flexible and adaptable, it could soon become accessible more widely for suitable patients and is available from Talar Made
“The HeadUp collar is designed for patients, with patients. This would not have happened without input from the MND patient involvement group that identified a need and helped to solve the problem,” Dr Evans told PFMD. “It has improved quality of life and inspired us to use this model of patient engagement in other disease areas.”
A deep commitment to patient engagement
The success story can be traced back to the long-standing commitment by academics, health professionals and hospital leadership in Sheffield to involve patients in their work. A Sheffield MND research advisory group established in 2009 meets at the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN) giving patients, carers and former carers input into research at the University of Sheffield.
The group meets quarterly to review patient information sheets, research proposals and to engage with researchers on their needs. The regular exercise has created a sense of community among volunteers who provide peer support for one another, while giving researchers valuable insights. Volunteers also develop a deeper understanding of the R&D process.
Patients are part of the NIHR Sheffield Biomedical Research Centre’s (BRC) governance structure and have a seat on the organisation’s executive board. The ongoing relationship bridges the gap between patients and researchers, making research more user-centred.
In some instances, patients are asked for input on protocols that feature highly technical procedures. This can require direct discussions with researchers or clinicians – something the centre views as a win-win for patient representatives and scientists.
“A patient representative recently asked for more information on MR spectroscopy. We brought them together with a PhD student who explained the technique and what it is used for,” explains Dr Evans. “As a result, the student became more confident in talking about medical imaging and the patient saw this educational experience as a reward for the time they give to reviewing protocols.”
The Sheffield BRC has also worked with existing patient panels – such as the Parkinson’s UK patient involvement group – to explore the design and feasibility of proof of concept studies. This can help to improve recruitment and retention of participants and to prepare for subsequent regulatory approval.
Professor of movement disorders, Oliver Bandmann from SITraN, asked patients and carers to assess the feasibility of taking a new combination of medicines, to review the patient visit schedule, and to give feedback on the wearability and usability of a Fitbit-like device that monitors patients’ motor symptoms at home. Patients and researchers said they found the experience valuable and are likely to engage with this approach again in future.
These success stories are inspiring the NIHR Sheffield BRC to expand its use of patient panels, using the MND experience as a template. It has assembled groups of people affected by dementia and multiple sclerosis, and has plans to do the same for stroke.
If ‘HeadUp’ is any indicator of the potential of this approach, there will be no shortage of patients – or researchers – looking to join the conversation.

Configuring Oscar as an Internet Base
Take DJI Phantom 4 RTK as an example
Are you tired of any cons of UHF radio setup at the RTK base station? Or naturally, consider the NTRIP correction is proper for your RTK applications? Within a few seconds by several simple button presses on the Oscar GNSS receiver's configuration panel, you are ready to connect any NTRIP capable rover receivers to the correction data stream broadcasted by the Oscar base station.
1. Configuring the Oscar Receiver
1.1 Connecting the receiver to the cellular network Internet
1) Insert a SIM card into the receiver. The sim card could be from any one of your local telecom operators. There is nothing special you need to worry about, e.g., a public or static IP address. Just be sure you have a data plan.
2) Turn on the cellular network connection over the configuration panel on the receiver. Use the two buttons on the panel to operate the menu shown on the OLED display. (For details of the operation over the configuration panel, please refer to the Oscar User Manual.)
Main Menu → Device Info → Cellular: ON
1.2 Setting the Oscar to broadcast correction over TCS
1) Enter the TCS configuration page on the OLED display. Use the two buttons on the panel to operate the menu shown on the OLED display.
Main Menu → Mode Config → Base Mode → TCS
2) On the TCS page, you have options to change the data format. The formats includes RTCMv3.2,RTCMv2.3,CMR,etc. You also have options to change the server. Typically it is recommended to choose the nearby one according to your location. For example, North American users would choose usacaster1. Once you have made the proper changes for your application, scroll down to ‘Confirm .’ Then go back to the main menu.
1.3 Checking the correction status on the OLED display
1) Set up the receiver in the proper location. (For details of how to set up a base station physically, please refer to the Oscar user manual.) Leave the highlight on the first entry of the main menu. You could monitor the number of SV(Satellites Visible)and battery power.
2) Scroll the highlight of the second entry. Confirm that you see the printing ‘Mode: Base Network Connected.’ You may also refer to the third(from left) LED indicator on the panel. It is LED is flashing GREEN, the correction data stream is fine.
2. Configuring NTRIP client connection on DJI controller
1) Make sure your DJI controller has access to the Internet. This can be either cellular on a SIM card inserted in the controller or a Wi-Fi hotspot.
2) Open the DJI GS RTK app.
3) Click Fly on the start page.
4) Click the Settings menu ‘···’ from the top right corner.
5) Select the RTK tab on the side menu.6) Switch on the Aircraft RTK positioning.
7) Enter the NTRIP login info as below and click Connect.
NTRIP Host: usacaster1.tersus-gnss.com
（according to your chosen option in previous steps） Port: 2101
Mountpoint: OSCAR_SerialNumberNote: find the Serial Number on the bottom of your Oscar receiver. You may find a string like ‘S/N:1234567890’. In this example, your user name, password, and mount point is OSCAR_1234567890.
The drone is now ready to fly with the RTK corrections from the Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver.
Literally, the Oscar receiver's NTRIP correction could be used with any third-party rover receivers that support NTRIP client corrections. These include survey rover receivers, auto-steering systems on tractors, machine control systems, etc.
Should you need any technical support, please contact us without hesitation. firstname.lastname@example.org

Not in the Mood? It Could be Just a Headache, PMS or You May Have FSD!
In Monday’s New York Times Health Section, Abby Ellin wrote an article, More Women Look Over the Counter for a Libido Fix, that caught my eye, or perhaps my libido. At first I thought it might be tied into the Shades of Grey erotic trilogy, but I was wrong!
I learned that the DSM-V, the new edition of the psychiatric diagnostic manual due in 2013, will include an official diagnosis of FSD or female sexual dysfunction tied into interest/arousal disorders. I also learned that “an often cited statistic, from a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1999 states that 43 % of women ages 18 to 59 experience some form of sexual dysfunction, including lack of desire, arousal or orgasm; or pain during intercourse.”
I respectfully agree that such problems exist, but again would suggest that perhaps some of those issues relate to one’s partner. The article continues to describe the booming unregulated industry devoted to enhancing sex for women. One company is introducing 24 new products which include nipple masks, nipple spray, and “anti-aging and cellular renewal cream” for the vagina, clitoris, nipples and skin around the inner thighs.” To me, this is pretty scary stuff!
Are romance and chemistry dead? Since I have been writing about Nora Ephron recently, I couldn’t help but wonder what how she would comment.
P.S. Remember, Nora’s 6 word memoir – “Secret to Success, Marry an Italian!” Wherefore art thou, Romeo?

The struggle is real. Another school year is in full swing, and teachers are trying to do the job for which they were hired—to teach. Unfortunately, this seemingly straight-forward task is not as easy as it sounds. With larger class sizes, greater diversity of student needs, fewer volunteers, increased academic expectations, and “other duties as assigned,” educators seem to have the cards stacked against them. Throw in the challenge of dealing with student discipline issues and it becomes understandable why teachers seem to be leaving the profession at a faster-than-normal rate.
Behavior management has always been something educators have had to contend with, but over the past few years the task has become more difficult. And it is an issue taking up one of educators’ most valuable resources: time. As one teacher described it, “Rather than having a small percentage of my teaching time interrupted by misbehavior, I now feel like I’m squeezing small amounts of instruction in between continual redirection of students.”
How did we get here? Why are kids struggling so much with social, emotional, and behavioral issues? The obvious answer is the pandemic. However, as any school administrator can tell you, problems were mounting years before we were faced with Covid-19; the pandemic simply threw gasoline on an existing fire, moving us from a state of concern to one of crisis.
When examining this issue, it is helpful to remember that external behaviors often communicate internal needs—meaning, students behave in certain ways, often unconsciously, to get certain needs met. Accordingly, if we can identify the needs, not only do we have better insight into why the behaviors are occurring, but we can also use this information to determine how best to address them.
The Need for Routine
Human brains are pattern-seeking. They like patterns because patterns help them predict. When we can predict what is coming, we do not have to be on high alert; we do not have to make constant decisions; we can develop routines and function on autopilot.
Ever had your daily routine interrupted?
- Not get your morning coffee?
- Substitute not show up?
- Parent issue needing your immediate attention?
It’s not pretty.
The enemy of routine is change. Sadly, for some students, change is their norm—changing caregivers, parent jobs, homes, people in their lives—with school being the only consistent routine to which they can cling. And that was before the pandemic hit.
Since then, we have all been in a constant state of change—and this change has ushered in high degrees of anxiety and tension which is ultimately trickling down and manifesting through the kids’ behaviors.
The Need for Experiences
Living in an age filled with technology has its advantages; however, it also comes at a cost. With technology use rising, kids spend a great deal of time in front of screens, and in doing so, they miss out on face-to-face time with others. This lack of experience results in deficit social skills students critically need.
When I worked in a behavior unit many years ago, a young boy in my class called a little girl “stupid” and in response, she slapped him across the face. As I recall, he never did that again. He learned through the experience of that natural consequence.
Unfortunately, technology has made it possible for youth to say things on social media they would never say to someone’s face without an immediate consequence that would otherwise change their behaviors. The pandemic has only added to this problem, creating unprecedented social and emotional developmental lags.
Teachers are finding 10-year-old students, for example, acting more like 8-year-olds, due to a 24-month gap in interactions and experiences with others. This issue is most evident in early childhood settings because the younger individuals are, the stronger the developmental gaps—and thus, the more pronounced the behavior concerns.
The Need for Instruction
When students have deficit skills, they need help from adults; they need instruction. The school system was designed to meet this need—cognitively. However, over the years, skill deficits in the areas of social, emotional, and behavioral development have become more prevalent.
Support for these needs has historically been provided by counselors, social workers, and select special education staff. However, as concerns have gotten greater, caseload numbers have outpaced the adults needed to support them. Accordingly, teachers fill in the gaps; however, most do not have training needed in this area to best deal with the concerns faced.
Another factor to consider in this category is the behavior of adults. One of the strongest ways we teach is through modeling—and unfortunately, be it when driving in traffic, listening to a political discussion, or watching a sporting event, we do not have to look far to see adults behaving badly. Examples are all around us, and sadly, these modeled behaviors are internalized by our kids.
The Need for Safety
I was sitting in a school parking lot when I heard about the tragedy at Columbine High School on the radio. We had never encountered something like that before; it was the first mass shooting of its kind. That was 23 years ago. Today, incidents like these have become weekly occurrences. It is no wonder that safety is a big concern for students.
Over the years I have known many students for whom school was their safe place. School was the port in the storm and a place where they could let their guard down. However, the climate inside our schools has changed, given all the factors occurring outside our walls—civil unrest, wars, economic conditions, political division, a pandemic.
Each of these issues has taken a huge toll on adults, and because adult emotions feed children’s emotions, adult concerns about safety are being felt and passed on to our students.
As teachers work to meet the needs of students and deal with their behavioral challenges, administrators work to do the same and support the staff’s efforts. However, the task becomes more complex because at the administrative level, changing student behaviors often requires a change in adult behaviors. And change is hard—for all of us.
Practices and Perspectives
So, where should we start? One way to create change in student behaviors is to provide teachers with effective strategies. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. Because our practices sit on our perspectives, the same strategies are often interpreted and implemented differently by different educators.
For example, using intentional eye contact with students is a powerful strategy for changing behaviors. However, while some teachers use eye contact to model appropriate behaviors, create engagement in learning, and make connections with students, others use the strategy sparingly, stopping instruction, and giving students “the look.” Notice the strategy does not change, but how it is implemented does and is based on the underlying perspective of the teachers. The first group approached the situation with a belief in the power of the relationship; the latter believed more in a traditional model of punishment.
Adding to the problem is our collective inclination to discipline kids the way we were disciplined. Accordingly, our fixed mindsets of what used to work often keep us from evolving our practices in positive ways.
Thus, one of the biggest challenges for administrators is to align staff perspectives so the strategies that are implemented are done so with consistent philosophical beliefs.
The Behavioral Zone of Proximal Development
Administrators often adopt new programs to address behavior concerns. Though this strategy is well-intentioned, timing is important. If practices are implemented before staff buy-in is established, efforts often fail. When it comes to introducing initiatives, the key is to find a balance by working within the staff’s behavioral zone of proximal development. This helps staff members move beyond their current thinking to adopt new behavioral practices as they are ready to accept and implement them with fidelity
Working Through the Process of Change
I’m often called into schools with the same request of providing staff more behavioral “tools for the toolbox.” Though I understand the intent, I believe this phrase is problematic. Behavior is complicated and when we try to simplify it by focusing on just strategies, we inadvertently increase frustration. Bringing about healthy behavioral change is a process that requires a focus on both perspective and practice.
Given our current reality, we must start by better understanding how times have changed over the past few decades and how these changes are impacting student behaviors. For the more we understand why behaviors are occurring, the more likely we will be to approach student concerns with greater empathy and less judgment. Once this shift in perspective occurs, schools will be in a better position to adopt and implement consistent practices that are aligned with shared beliefs. It is at this point that we stand the best chance of meeting our ultimate goal of creating long-term positive behavior change in the students we serve.

Scientists get first close look at stimulated brain
With the aid of optical imaging technology, researchers have for the first time been able to see how neurons react to electrical stimulation. The neural response to electrical currents isn't localized, as some had previously thought. Rather, electrical stimulation activates a scattered and widely distributed set of neurons.
This study marks the first time that scientists have been able to see what is happening at the cellular level when the brain is exposed to electrical stimuli. This information sheds light on all research - past, present, and future - that involves electrical brain stimulation. This includes clinical studies of cortical prostheses used to treat such medical conditions as Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, depression, and vision loss.
BOSTON, Mass. (August 26, 2009) — For over a century, scientists have been using electrical stimulation to explore and treat the human brain. The technique has helped identify regions responsible for specific neural functions - for instance, the motor cortex and pleasure center - and has been used to treat a variety of conditions from Parkinson's disease to depression. Yet no one has been able to see what actually happens at the cellular level when the brain is electrically prodded.
Now, with the aid of optical imaging technology, researchers in the lab of HMS neurobiology professor Clay Reid have taken the first look at this process. They found that the neural response to electrical currents isn't localized, as some had previously thought. That is, not all neurons immediately surrounding an electrode fire when a charge is delivered. Rather, a scattered and widely distributed set of neurons switch on. These findings, which will appear in the August 27 issue of Neuron, promise to end a longstanding debate about how neurons react to electrical stimulation.
Here, electrical stimulation was applied at the intersection of the two white lines. Neurons that were activated appear in bright red.

According to Histed, these findings run counter to a long-standing hypothesis. "One prior theory was that at low currents, the neurons in a tiny ball around the electrode would activate, and if you increased the current, a larger ball would activate, but you would still only activate cells within that ball. What we showed was that, even at the lowest currents, you have cells very far away that are activated, so it's not just a tiny ball around the electrode tip that increases in size, but instead a very large, sparse pattern that fills in as the current is increased."
“The researchers suspect that this sparsely distributed activation pattern results because it's really the axons - the long, thin fibers that transmit electrical signals in the nerve cells - that are being stimulated, not the cell bodies. To prove this, they moved the electrode tip 10 microns from the site of their first stimulations. That's a distance smaller than the width of just one nerve cell. Reid says, "you might guess that the same neurons would light up. But, in fact, the same number of neurons lit up, but they were entirely different neurons, and that really proved to us the hypothesis that we're exciting just a tiny little ball of neural processes, not neurons. We think we're exciting the axons in that 10 micron sphere."
Histed compares the neural mass to a box of unwound yo-yos. If you stick a pencil into that box, the tip of the pencil would touch only a few strings. Follow those strings all the way to their respective disks, and you would be "activating" only a few, scattered yo-yos within the knotted heap. Move the pencil tip just a quarter of an inch, and it touches a completely different group of strings, leading to an entirely different set of bodies.
The researchers believe that this study establishes optical imaging as a vital tool for any scientific and clinical research that involves electrical brain stimulation. Reid hopes that it will also "be very important in understanding, rationalizing, and designing neural prostheses." Such prostheses are already being used to cure deafness and to treat movement disorders, and Reid's lab has itself conducted research into the use of electrical stimulation to restore vision. This study, by shedding light on how electrical stimulation acts on the brain at the cellular level, could lead to the reinterpretation and refinement of earlier research in the field, and may help guide experiments.
This work was supported by NIH grants and by Microsoft Research.

The Mafia may have been on the rise back in the early years of the new millennium, but the criminal underworld in Chicago has always been a bit more mysterious.
The most recent case of Mafia-related murder in the city is in 2013, when a gang member named John Ritter was shot dead in a parking lot outside of a McDonald’s in West Garfield Park.
Ritter’s girlfriend, the 22-year-old who was allegedly the head of the Chicago Mob’s East Side operation, was also killed in that same shooting.
The victim’s name wasn’t released, but police say Ritter had ties to the gang.
The murder of Ritter took place after years of tension between the East and West sides of the city, where the Mafia’s leadership has historically been on opposite sides of that feud.
Ritters death came at the end of the most recent wave of murders of East Side gang members.
There have been numerous reports of shootings between rival gangs in recent years, including one shooting that happened last year in the East Garfield Park neighborhood.
In 2017, there were two murders involving rival gangs and there were three homicides in Chicago in 2016 alone.
The West Side is also home to the most homicides in the entire country.
But what makes Chicago a particularly dangerous place for gang members?
What makes it so deadly for the average Joe?
In the past year, Chicago has seen a string of gang shootings, most of which took place on the West Side.
The East Side has also seen a surge in violence.
On January 1, 2017, four people were shot to death inside a home in the Englewood neighborhood.
Two people were also killed inside the West Garfield park neighborhood that year.
There were also five shootings that year in Lakeview, a city block west of the Englwood area, in which one person was shot and killed and two others were shot and injured.
Both shootings took place in the same block.
Two days later, on January 8, a gang of six people were found dead in an alleyway near the West Towne Plaza housing project.
The victims were all shot to the head, according to police.
Two months later, another person was killed and four more people were wounded in a shooting on a South Side neighborhood.
A month after that, in February, another shooting occurred in the Lakeview neighborhood that left two people dead.
And the violence continues.
On March 1, a 23-year old man was shot to die in a South Chicago neighborhood.
Four days later in March, a man was found shot to dead in the Chicago neighborhood of Bronzeville.
On April 7, a 25-year–old man was fatally shot outside of his apartment on the South Side.
In May, a 28-year‐old man who was suspected of being involved in a gang dispute was found dead outside of the West Village housing project in Chicago’s Englemont neighborhood.
And on May 25, two people were killed in a fatal shooting outside of an apartment complex in the North Lawndale neighborhood.
The violence continues, and the murders are not limited to the South and West Sides.
In February, a gunman opened fire outside of another South Side apartment complex and wounded a woman who was inside.
And earlier this month, a 29-year‑old man in the South Chicago area was shot in the head while he was sitting in his car in a park.
There is no indication that gang violence is spreading throughout the city.
In fact, some of the shootings that have occurred on the streets of Chicago are believed to be related to rival gang turf wars.
One such shooting happened in the middle of the night on January 29, when two men were shot outside an apartment building in the West Austin neighborhood.
Authorities say the men were friends of one another, but they were not linked to the East Side Mob.
The shooting occurred just before midnight, but it was not immediately clear if the victims were connected to the Mob.
In addition to the murders of the men in the targeted area, the city has also witnessed the shooting death of an unknown number of people in recent months.
In the early morning hours of January 25, a 22- year-old man and a 17-year-old boy were shot in Engle Park, Chicago’s South Side, police said.
Authorities said the two were in the area with their mothers.
They were found lying on the sidewalk and were transported to a hospital, where they died.
The other victim, a 17‑year-old boy, was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
On February 4, a 30-year old man allegedly killed his friend, a 35-year man, and two women.
Authorities later released photos of the alleged killer.
The two victims were identified as Joseph DePietro, a 20-year veteran of the force, and a 23‑year veteran, who also worked for the department.
Authorities have said that the suspect was believed

This is the fourth annual wine label competition for the Georges Duboeuf winery, in Beaujolais, France. It’s wonderful that winner Maeve Croghan is currently living and working in the Mendocino, California area, where she teaches and exhibits… She’s almost a neighbor to my Geyserville location, which means I’ll get to visit with her in the future. (I’m pretty excited.)
[PHOTO used with permission of Maeve Croghan. I like to think of this one as “When the artist is the art…”]
From Maeve’s Website:
Maeve Croghan’s innovative interpretations of the nature painting genre have gained her much acclaim. Maeve grew up living every summer on a remote island in Northern Michigan. Here she developed a deep reverence for the lakes, woods, the surrounding lands and nature. When Maeve first visited California many years ago, she was overwhelmed by the magnificence of California’s natural beauty. She paints from a deep spiritual connection to the environment. Her love of the land is understood in her color-filled paintings.
Maeve’s oil paintings are begun outside. She intensely observes the environment, becoming immersed in it as she paints. The paintings are finished in the studio from her memory and personal exploration and interpretation, without photo references.
Maeve has been painting since she was 15. She studied at the San Francisco Art Institute [BFA program] for many years, as well as Reed College, the Portland Museum Art School, and the Corcoran School of Art. She has a BA from New College of California in ‘Art and Education’ focusing on Art and Social Change.
This year had a record number of submissions and votes… It’s growing in popularity and why not? The Georges Duboeuf Hameau du Vin Museum holds so much impressive art and artifacts dating way back in history… This new art is a continuation of their commitment to art, as artists and lovers of art looking forward to the contest each year.
NAPA, CA (June 11, 2020) — Georges Duboeuf’s highly-anticipated competition to find the best original artwork for the U.S. label of its Beaujolais Nouveau concluded with a record-breaking number of submissions and votes. In its fourth year, the online contest received more than 1,000 entries from emerging artists and an impressive 10,000 votes from art lovers across the country.
The winner is Maeve Croghan, a Virginia native who lives and works in the Mendocino, CA area. She will receive a cash grant and the honor of having her work debuted on over one million bottles of Duboeuf’s 2020 Beaujolais Nouveau, Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau and Beaujolais Nouveau Rosé, when the wines are released on the third Thursday of November this year (November 19, 2020).
“In a time where there is so much uncertainty, I cannot express how elated and thankful I am for this opportunity,” says Croghan. “It is an amazing feeling to have my work recognized by such a remarkable brand as Georges Duboeuf.” Maeve’s winning painting, Russett Vines, evokes a sense of timeless appreciation and connection to nature and the vines that give birth to the annual harvest. Using vibrant hues of gold, orange, and reds, “I wanted to relay a feeling of warmth and happiness, bringing attention to the beauty and splendor of the vines,” explains Croghan.
“Our family has long appreciated and valued the talents of local arts and artisans,” comments Franck Duboeuf, CEO of Les Vins Georges Duboeuf. “This contest is a continuation of that legacy and history of how art pairs so beautifully with wine.”
The annual Georges Duboeuf Artist Label Competition has grown exponentially year after year to support emerging artists in communities across the country. With over 10,000 total votes and thousands of likes and comments on social media, the 2020 competition saw the highest level of engagement yet.
Entries were submitted online via the competition’s website and 14 were selected as finalists by a combination of public vote and input from a panel of winery representatives and art experts. The finalists were announced on April 17, followed by a two-week period of public voting via the website and Social Media. Finalists were invited to share their submissions on their own accounts, finding support from fellow artists, friends, and family.
“We’re thrilled to see that the label contest continues to grow in popularity as it becomes something that artists and consumers look forward to each year,” explains Dennis Kreps, co-owner with his father, Stephen D. Kreps, of Quintessential, the exclusive importer of Les Vins Georges Duboeuf in the US. “The high levels of engagement and activity we received this year have provided our audience with a creative outlet to enjoy and celebrate at a time when we need it most.”
