As we entered the month of October the political conference season kicked off, first with the Labour Party followed soon after by Conservatives.
While these two conferences were taking place and we listened to many speeches on subjects from the economy to education to energy as various politicians congratulated themselves a fleet of the world’s largest ‘super trawlers’ – the infamous ‘factory ships’ – invaded the UK’s east coast waters from Flamborough to the northern waters off Scotland. These vessels are huge. One of the largest, the Margaris, is 136 metres in length (equal in length to 14 normal size fishing vessels). She drags a net stretching the distance of six football pitches and she is registered under the Lithuanian flag.
She was previously called the Abel Talisman but when she attempted to register under the Australian flag and fish Australian waters the ‘Aussies’ sensibly and decisively decided that this would not be in the best interest of local fishermen.
She was promptly and unceremoniously banned.
So, I ask, where was the outrage at either the Labour or Conservative conference that this factory ship was plundering British waters even as MP’s slapped themselves on the back?
Why has the Conservative Government abandoned UK fishermen and coastal communities? What has become of Her Majesty’s official opposition the Labour Party?
The UK fishermen and their coastal communities rely on the income earned from fishing our waters are desperately seeking a champion to fight for their industry.
An industry, as you cannot have failed to spot, reeling from constant betrayal by established political parties.
According to a BBC report more than half of England’s fishing quota, £160 million, is in the hands of vessels owned by companies’ resident in Iceland, Spain and the Netherlands.
That amounts to 130,000 tonnes of fish a year. You can certainly see the problem and understand the frustration and fear for the future of UK artisanal fishermen.
What are these struggling coastal fishermen and communities to do at the next general election when politicians come knocking at doors asking for votes, promising to support fishermen.
A barnstorming end of conference speech to the party faithful from Boris Johnson, who talks the talk but continually fails to walk the walk, will not restore confidence.
The Brexit cry of ‘regain control of our waters’ is now seen as nothing more than a cheap confidence trick to gain votes.
Boris Johnson continually talks of ‘sustainability’.
The notion underpins his policies on energy, industry, and of course his ‘green agenda’ for the future.
Yet throughout the Tory conference he totally ignored the sustainable food source that swims around our coastline.
The continued raping of UK waters by foreign vessels, the destruction of the seabed by heavy trawls is being totally ignored by the PM.
If the Conservative government is to be believed, then a sustainable UK fishing industry must be at the top of their agenda.
But it seems not. Instead we see once more a Boris Johnson failing to deliver on his promises and the Labour Party refusing to acknowledge the folly of the government policy and call out the PM on his betrayal of UK fishermen.
The Government must commit to enacting the 1988 Merchant Shipping Act, which states a fishing vessel can only be classed as British if it has ‘a genuine and substantial connection’ to the UK so putting an end to quota hopping by huge EU companies in UK waters.
If the Government flinches then UK fishermen, frustrated by being continually ignored, will loan their vote to the smaller parties.
Many of these smaller parties and independents are in talks to consolidate their voter base to create a new party and take on the duopoly of Con/Lab.
The waters surrounding the United Kingdom and the fish in them are a natural sustainable resource belonging to the people of the UK.
We are the guardians, the recipient of its bountiful supply of fish, food for the nation’s table, its aquaculture a sustainable benefit of the United Kingdom its people, fishermen and the generations of fishermen to come.

This Spicy Bloody Mary recipe is so delicious and full of flavor. It’s about to become your new weekend favorite.
Ready to be a brunch hero? Mix up a pitcher of Spicy Bloody Mary’s for your friends or family! With some little adjustments to the classic cocktail recipe, this drink is always a hit. I have tips for making single glasses or a big batch so that you can enjoy this beverage anytime.
Scroll down to read more about how it all comes together or click here to jump straight down to the recipe.
What Is A Bloody Mary Cocktail?
The Bloody Mary is a popular brunch beverage that is sometimes lauded as a hangover cure. The base of this cocktail is tomato juice and vodka. There’s also usually lemon or lime juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
Other spices and ingredients may be included depending on the recipe and they are often served with fun garnishes. There are even Pickle Juice Bloody Marys if you love that briny flavor and the Bloody Maria which uses tequila instead of vodka.
What Makes It A Spicy Bloody Mary Recipe?
This cocktail recipe is a fairly standard Bloody Mary but with a bit more hot sauce and horseradish than usual. Keep in mind, hot sauces can range in heat levels from fairly mild hot sauces like Franks and Tabasco to very hot sauces made from habanero or ghost peppers, so select one perfect for your taste and preferred level of heat.
There are other things you can add for extra heat, like some jalapeno slices, a pinch of black pepper, the juice from spicy pickled okra or spicy pickled green beans, some sriracha, a bit of chipotle in adobo, the list goes on.
In terms of adding extra flavor in other ways, a lot of people like to add some pickle juice or olive brine. I would substitute that in for the lemon juice but add a bit extra.
Should I Use A Cocktail Shaker?
Some people make their Bloody Mary directly in the glass, measuring the ingredients in and stirring it up. I find that a cocktail shaker gets everything really cold and my finished drink doesn’t get any waterier from the ice in the glass because it’s all already so cold.
But I will say that I also always chill my tomato juice before making this cocktail. That means that even less ice is going to melt and dilute things. We’re after such a nice spicy flavor here, we don’t want to water any of it down.
Making A Batch Of Cocktails
The recipe at the bottom is for one drink. However, I do find that the best way to make the best Spicy Bloody Mary is to make it in a batch that can then sit in the fridge where the flavors meld and deepen. To do that, you’ll get out a pitcher and measure in the following.
- 4 cups of tomato juice
- 8 ounces vodka
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. lime juice
- 1 Tbsp. horseradish
- 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. hot sauce
- Stir it and then put it into the fridge for at least 2 hours, but a good 24 hours is the best. Then you can skip the cocktail shaker because it’s already so cold.
- Instead, prep 4 glasses by cutting a slit in a wedge of lime and running it along the rim of the glasses. Then dip the wetted rims in celery salt. If you’d like more explanation on how to do this, here’s my tutorial for salting the rims of glasses.
- Add 1/2 cup of ice cubes to each glass and then pour in the mixture you’ve made.
If you look at the recipe closely, you’ll see it’s a bit different in terms of amounts than the one below. That’s because you’re not going to get the ice melting in the cocktail shaker and watering things down. So, to make up the difference, I increase the amount of tomato juice, but then slightly decrease the amount of lemon juice, lime juice, and horseradish so that they’re a bit less harsh.
Don’t Forget Garnishes!
I’m a purist and like my Bloody Mary garnished with a simple stick of celery. But, if you want to show off, here are some Bloody Mary garnish ideas.
Or, garnish with a pepperoncini pepper, maybe put it on a skewer with some spicy pepperoni or black pepper crusted bacon. So good! I also have enjoyed spicy pickled okra or spicy pickled green beans as garnishes, so those are great if you have them. You can also get fancy by adding shrimp to your garnish. Or try a spicy rim by replacing the celery salt around the glass with a spicy blend like Tajin seasoning.

Listen to me explain briefly about how to make this recipe, with some great tips along the way, by clicking the play button below:
- 1/4 of a lime
- 1 tsp. celery salt
- 1 1/2 cups ice cubes, divided
- 3/4 cup tomato juice
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. horseradish
- 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp. hot sauce
- 1 rib of celery
- Cut a slit in the lime quarter and run the slit around the rim of a tall 12 ounce glass (a highball glass) to moisten it with lime juice. Do not discard the lime.
- Measure the celery salt onto a plate and invert the glass onto the plate. Rub the lime-wetted rim of the glass in the celery salt.
- Measure 1/2 cup of ice cubes into the glass. Set aside.
- Put the remaining cup of ice into a cocktail shaker. Squeeze your lime quarter into the shaker. Then add the tomato juice, vodka, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire, and hot sauce. Shake well.
- Strain the liquid over the ice in the prepared glass.
- Garnish with the celery and serve.

Revealed: The map of the UK that shows the best (and worst) places to find a job
- Research lists areas with the best job opportunities in a number of industries
- Hull found to be the toughest place to secure a job with 80 people unemployed for every job vacancy
- Aberdeen is the easiest spot to find employment and has the most vacancies in the construction industry
The best and worst places in the UK to find a job have been revealed in a new study which shows there are as many as 80 people for every vacancy in some areas.
Looking at available posts and the number of unemployed in 50 locations researchers were able to put together the study to highlight the competition for jobs across the UK.
Hull emerged as the toughest place to secure a job with a staggering 80 jobless for every available vacancy while Stoke-on-Trent came a close second with 72 people unemployed for each advertised post.
Vacancies: This map of the UK reveals the areas in which the best and worst job opportunities exist in a host of different industries
Aberdeen in Scotland was found to be the easiest place to find work, with fewer than one unemployed person for every available job.
The Scottish city’s employment growth continues to be buoyed by oil and gas and the number of vacancies in the industry is at 18 times the national average.
The nature of jobs available also changes from region to region and Aberdeen also boasts the greatest number of available jobs in construction, followed by Derby and Birmingham.
|Top ten places to find work||Number of jobless per vacancy||Worst ten places to find work||Number of jobless per vacancy|
|1.Aberdeen|| 0.88||1.Hull|| 79.64|
|7.Guildford||2.75||7.Rochdale and Oldham||31.61|
|8.Wycombe and Slough||3.28||8.Wolverhampton||25.50|
|10.Bristol||3.83||10.Swansea Bay|| 23.88|
Call centre posts are more readily available in Belfast than anywhere else with the city having three times as many jobs in the industry than the national average, while Manchester leads the way for marketing and sales positions and Edinburgh is best for finance jobs.
According to job search website Adzuna, who carried out the research, engineering, computing and sales and marketing are showing the strongest demand for jobs nationally, while London is the top city for the recruitment of estate agents and secretaries.
Andrew Hunter of Adzuna said: 'Policymakers should take note of where the jobs are being created and make sure that people are being trained in the right skills in the right locations.'
Unemployment: Hull is official the toughest place to find a job in the UK with around 80 unemployed people vying for each vacancy

Abstract Share this page
Abstract OBJECT: Detecting of disease spread is an important task of public health and medical staff, especially in pandemics such as A/H1N1 flu (2009). This requires daily observation and estimation of the infected population. The fully automated real-time pharmacy survey we developed collects information electronically at pharmaceutical prescription. We used the data to analyze the pandemic A/H1N1 flu spread (2009) and to determine the system's and capability in estimating the infected population. METHOD: Automatic collection of prescription information on antiinfluenza virus drugs from 3959 pharmacies provided the basis for calculating the number of influenza sufferers and determining shape of the epidemic curve compared to that of official influenza sentinel surveys and mandatory reports of A/H1N1 (2009) patients. We also compared infection estimates from the pharmacy survey to those of official sentinel survey and a one-week survey of all hospitals and clinics in Gifu prefecture not reported in sentinel, RESULTS: Fully automated real-time pharmacy surveillance began on April 20, 2009, and provided feedback at 07:00 daily. It estimated the infected population at 22,708 when official sentinel surveillance recorded an average of 0.99 influenza visits per week in epidemic week 32 when publicly announced that the pandemic had began in Japan. By the end of March, epidemic week 12 in 2010, infected-population estimates totaled 9,234,289, and peaked on November 24 at 234,519 in one day. All A/H1N1 (2009) sufferers reported mandatorily until mid-July numbered 25,526. The pharmacy survey indicated that there were influenza nationalwide by the time the very first outbreak emerged in the Kansai (western Japan) area. The correlation coefficient for the pharmacy and official sentinel survey was 0.992 nationwide, exceeding 0.95 in which only 33 of Japan's 47 prefectures were counted. The estimated infected population in the pharmacy survey was half of that of the official sentinel survey. The pharmacy survey yielded almost the same number as the complete survey in Gifu prefecture, however. DISCUSSION: Fully automated real-time pharmacy surveys are useful in long-term observation e.g. detection of rapid emergence, identifying the peak, and careful monitoring of reemergence. It was demonstrated as the leading indicator for the official sentinel surveillance because of high correlation among them. Information collected daily is very useful in early detection and estimating the affected population. The survey consistently uses the same estimation criterion and operates automatically and routinely, facilitating the comparison of the latest and past results. The pharmacy survey indicated that official sentinel survey estimates overestimate actual cases and thus require modification to ensure accuracy. The pharmacy survey thus appears to be very valuable as a tool in measuring for the second wave of A/H1N1 (2009) or whatever the next pandemic may be. It can, of course, be applied to diseases other than influenza, e.g., varicella, by following antivaricellazostervirus prescriptions and antibiotic drugs.

If it's diagnosed and treated early, the infection is more likely to be mild and can be treated at home with antibiotics.
If you have severe symptoms, such as persistent vomiting, severe diarrhoea or a swollen stomach, you will probably be admitted to hospital.
If your symptoms get worse, see your healthcare provider as soon as possible. They may give you a different type of antibiotic.
You need to stay off work so you don’t spread the infection. You can go back to work as soon as you feel better unless you work with food, young children, elderly people or people with poor health. If you do, you will need to do another stool sample to be sure the bacteria have gone.
Some people have a relapse about a week after they finish their antibiotics. If you start to feel sick again, see your doctor as soon as possible.
If you don’t get treatment straight away, you can develop complications, eg, internal bleeding or splitting of your digestive system, meningitis, inflammation or infection of other organs, or even death.

How to Care for Your Pet’s Teeth and Gums
You may think it’s common for your pet to have their own version of stinky breath, just like we do! But, just like ours, your pet’s teeth and gums need to be cleaned for their happy smile to last them a lifetime. It’s important not to let their dental health slip away from you – this area can put them in pain and discomfort, so don’t hesitate to ask your Martinsville veterinarian on how to protect your furry friend’s smile.
Brushing their Teeth
It may not be as simple as brushing your own teeth, but there are toothbrushes and toothpastes made for your pet. While it may sound like a difficult task, there are other alternatives to ensuring your pet has a healthy smile. Ask us about healthy treats that could benefit your pet’s teeth and gums, and about which ones to avoid, lessening the chances of periodontal disease.
Stick to their Food
Letting your pet indulge in far too many unhealthy treats can quickly harm their teeth, weakening them and even causing them to fall out! Avoid giving your pet any food that’s meant for people – while their system can break it down well enough, their first line of defense is their mouth and it’s not exactly the same as ours, especially if you’re not routinely brushing their teeth.
Don’t Give Them Too Many Treats
While it’s easy to give your pet some treats to satisfy them, not all treats are beneficial for their overall health. Don’t get your pet in the habit of always having a treat during the certain time of the day, like when you come home from work, when you first wake up, or when it’s time to go to bed. A treat is something to be earned, so treat it as something special! Otherwise, their teeth and gums may pay the price.
Looking for more ways to take care of your pet’s smile? Give our Martinsville veterinarian a call at (276) 656-0442 and we’ll be happy to provide you with helpful tips and tricks!

Hunter New England Health warns that the community shouldn’t become complacent about COVID-19, despite the flattening of the curve.
While numbers are down and restrictions are easing across the country, Dr David Durrheim, Public Health Controller says we’re not out of the woods just yet.
“We’ve made some really positive progress towards getting COVID-19 under control but we need to be careful not to become complacent.
“We’re all keen to return to our normal lives, but even as restrictions ease vigilance is still needed to ensure we don’t get a resurgence of the virus, which is a possibility.
“What we’re really looking at is a new type of normal until an effective vaccine is broadly available,” he said.
With some visiting restrictions lifted this weekend Dr Durrheim stresses that social distancing and good hygiene should still be front of mind.
“We will need to continue to test widely, and monitor cases closely as restrictions ease. Everyone has a role to play in ensuring we keep good control of COVID-19,” he said.
“Regular hand hygiene, meticulous cough and sneeze etiquette, and continuing to stand back are our new normal. Let’s all make sure that we are not giving the virus another chance.”

The Covid outbreak in India is putting the rest of the world at risk and is leaving a “humanitarian catastrophe” in its wake, the dean of Brown University’s School of Public Health warned Monday.
“India is a big country, and if there are large outbreaks there, of course we’re going to worry about more variants, which will be bad for Indians, and … it will spread around the world,” said Dr. Ashish Jha. “So part of keeping America safe is vaccinating the whole world.”
The White House pledged to send more than $100 million worth of medical supplies to India as the country breaks global infection records on a near-daily basis. The country recorded more than 300,000 new cases for 12 straight days, but experts fear the real numbers could be much higher. Data shows that only about 2% of India’s population is fully vaccinated against Covid.
Jha told CNBC’s “The News with Shepard Smith” that because the U.S. is now at a point where it has a greater supply of vaccines than demand, that the U.S. should distribute them globally.
“I think we should be sharing them more widely with the world, helping them get vaccinated, that’s how we’ll end the pandemic globally,” Jha said.

If you is surely an Asian young lady looking for a light guy, then you may have already stumbled upon the famous Asian daughter white guy stereotypes. I believe, this is not beneficial. It makes a woman think not worth and makes this more likely on her being rejected. In addition to the, it can also trigger her to feel like her choices will be limited.
Despite this existing stereotype, you will find plenty of instances of white guys who are attracted to Cookware women. A few of these couples accomplished as acquaintances or classmates. Then, over time of courtship, they began dating because they felt a genuine romantic chemistry. Fortunately, most of these lovers are not misogynists. Despite these stereotypes, most white males who time frame Asian girls are not misogynists and do not discriminate based on competition.
When L comprehends the irrationality of her quest, she has seeing that added a filter to her dating app that only shows her profiles right from Oriental men. This really is safer than having to sort through dozens of background from black men, which she will not like. Then again, L’s cynic side is certainly starting to take control.
The challenge with this stereotype is that it is racialized. It’s https://asian-woman.org/countries/meet-vietnamese-women a specific difficulty for Cookware women. In a few cultures, there’s an underlying prejudice that Asian women of all ages are promiscuous. In other situations, they are viewed with disrespect or even hate. However , this is simply not the case in a great many Western civilizations.
One more stereotype that men have is the fact Hard anodized cookware women will be submissive and docile. When this is not the case, some men continue to assume this due to their limited encounters with Asian women. This attitude makes Asian women seem like one-dimensional objects. A woman’s appearance is just one aspect of her personality, which is the reason it is important to understand that the belief is totally unfounded.
The problem https://hackspirit.com/how-to-heal-a-broken-heart-7-essential-steps-to-moving-forward/ with stereotypes is that they happen to be widespread, especially in the West. Far too many persons in america think that they’re the only country worth surviving in, and that the remaining world would not exist if they were not right now there. If an individual doesn’t like this, it’s very likely wrong. Yet there’s no cause to berate Asian fellas for online dating white females.
There are a few positive changes that can makes stereotype much less harmful. The most notable change is that Cookware American females are progressively visible in commercials. There might be even a recent ad just for the Chevrolet car. Through this commercial, an Asian American woman played second mess to her Black husband. She cooed when the White man closed the deal. In another ad, a great Asian American woman romps through a club filled with multi-colored characters. While this kind of trend could still be far from being universal, the recent influx of Asian-White pairings can be indicative of progress.
Asian women of all ages have lengthy been the subject of misrepresentations. In the nineteenth century, Artist films changed bad Asians into “good” Asians. In 1943, the Chinese Exemption Act was repealed, nevertheless the Communist takeover changed the screen simple fact. Subsequently, the Chinese became a favorite whipping man intended for Hollywood.

"We are focused on the Assembly elections to accomplish 'Mission 44'. We are not talking about Article 370 and its abrogation. The Article will not be touched and it is not in BJP's (yet-to-be released) manifesto to scrap the Article," said Dr Hina Bhat, BJP's candidate from Amirakadal.
Bhat, who is also the vice-president of the BJP's women wing in the state, said if the Article was touched, it would force Kashmiris to pick up guns again. "And you know I am a Kashmiri too," she said, laughing.
Bhat said scrapping Article 370 would be construed as a move against the sentiments of people of the state. She insisted that the BJP has focus on development, peace and security and would give a corruption-free government in J&K.
"PM Narendra Modi ji has said we will discuss and debate Article 370. Nowhere, has anyone talked about its removal," Bhat said, adding that BJP opponents were making the Article an issue to instill fear among the public. "But they know the Article will not be removed by anyone." Meanwhile, ruling NC spokesman Junaid Azim Mattu described BJP's stand as "doublespeak". "It cannot say something to some sections in Jammu and another thing to Kashmiris," he said.
BJP leader and Minister of State in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh, however, told mediapersons in Jammu that the BJP's stand on Article 370 is "very clear". He said all issues, including Article 370, which have been part of the BJP manifesto all these years, will be part of their agenda in the state.

Cell polarity is essential for normal cell function and for various developmental processes, such as axis determination, asymmetric stem cell divisions, and cell migration. Polarity is integral for tissue organization and failure in this process is a hallmark of human malignancies. Extensive studies in diverse model systems have helped to establish recurring mechanisms that drive polarity in various cell types. Yet, these conserved polarity regulators are not universally required and it emerges that some cells use distinct polarity mechanisms in a context dependent manner. For example, the polarization of the Drosophila intestinal epithelium does not require any of the canonical polarity regulators, unlike all other well-characterized Drosophila epithelia. However, little is known about how this unconventional polarity is established. This proposal aims to elucidate novel alternative polarity pathways in the intestinal epithelium of Drosophila. I will conduct a large--scale forward genetic screen to identify novel polarity regulators in the fly gut epithelium. Furthermore, I will examine the functional conservation of the newly identified polarity regulators in the murine intestinal stem cell organoids. Overall, this proposal will shed novel insights into the epithelial biology of the intestinal system.

I told my therapist I was planning to write about what it does to your brain to be cheated on for a decade. She agreed but suggested it not be specifically about being cheated on, but rather about being exposed to trauma for a decade. I nodded my head in agreement, but in my head I was saying “Nope.”
I shut it down immediately. I wasn’t able to verbalize why I had an issue with calling it “trauma” until I got home and talked to my partner about it.
How the fuck do I justify calling ten years of infidelity trauma? I live with a veteran for fuck’s sake. I feel ridiculous saying I have trauma from a shitty marriage.
He didn’t hit me, in fact there was virtually no physical violence until his last attempts to get me to stay in the end, and even then it wasn’t extreme. So many people have had such worse experiences.
“Trauma is trauma” he said kindly to me, for the umpteenth time since my PTSD diagnosis “your trauma is just as valid and real as anyone’s. The fact that you are still in denial about it probably means you do need to write it up.”
I knew the incessant gas-lighting, verbal abuse, shaming and name calling, the lying, cheating and betrayal for ten years all congealed into this disgusting cocktail that fucked me up in many ways. What I didn’t realize, however, was how much it had affected the way my brain still responds to certain stimuli so many years later. As unaddressed, unhealed trauma tends to do, apparently.
I was 18 years old when I met my oldest son’s father. He was 21. Up until that point in my life I had a type. That type was typically tattooed troubled losers, so when I met this guy who seemed nothing like those jerks, I thought “meh, let’s give this a shot”. Looking back, I don’t think there was ever a point where I thought this dude was going to be the one.
It didn’t matter that he wasn’t a tattooed rebel who had been in and out of jail, drank a lot or did drugs, he was a toxic human. His family had money, compared to mine anyway, and I was intimidated by it from the very beginning. He caught on to that early and would continue to use it to manipulate me.
We met in August of 2001. I got knocked up on September 11, 2001, a month before my nineteenth birthday. There was not much getting to know each other before this giant life-altering occurrence.
I don’t think I will ever forget telling him I was pregnant. We lived about an hour away from each other. I was staying with my grandmother whom I had returned from Colorado to take care of, he was living with his parents. It took me about a week to even work up the nerve to tell him, and still I told him through Yahoo! Messenger, since he refused to talk to me on the phone because he was busy at a friend’s house.
At that point I didn’t really care what he thought, I just knew it was my responsibility to inform him. The exchange was pretty simple:
Me: Hey, got a min to call me?
Him: Not really. At a friends.
Me: Cool. Well, thought you would want to know that I am pregnant. Took 4 tests, all positive.
Him: We’ve got options
I logged off and cried into my grandmother’s lap about the terrible situation I had found myself in. Knocked up by an asshole who was immediately more concerned about his options than offering a kind word.
Eventually we ended up working things out – and by working things out I mean I caved because I was a broke pregnant teenager. My grandmother was in no way able to support me financially, and his family could. At that time that made sense to me. If only I could go back in time and talk to that little girl.
I had only met his parents a couple times before I ended up pregnant, and he insisted we hide it from them. They weren’t thrilled that their precious son knocked up some trailer trash chick from out of town, but they did what they do best: threw money at the problem.
They helped us get everything we needed for the baby, though his mother never let me forget how much money she spent and would bring it up at every opportunity. I wasn’t used to people spending money on me. I didn’t like it. It made me uncomfortable before she started throwing it back in my face, but after that it became something that never failed to make me sick to my stomach. She knew that and exploited it whenever she felt wronged, like someone didn’t pick up the phone quick enough when she called. “After all I’ve done for you, Nikki? You can’t even answer the phone!?” I would hear her screech to the answering machine, feeling an immense sense of guilt and shame that never went away.
During my pregnancy my grandmother’s health was rapidly declining and she passed away when I was about six months pregnant. My mother failed to let me in on the arrangements and I wasn’t informed until the day after the funeral. Six months pregnant, hormones raging and I found out the only person in the world I really loved died and I was offered absolutely no closure. I had never known such grief.
Having no other family willing to help, I had to drive the hour to my grandmother’s home an hour away and remove my things from her home, she lived in public housing so it had to be done immediately. Thankfully I brought one of his friends with me to help since the father of my unborn child couldn’t be bothered to go with me to help box up my books and clothes.
I found out later that he stayed home and had cyber-sex with his ex-girlfriend while I was doing the hardest thing I had ever done in my life. When confronted with the printed conversations, he informed me that “sometimes Yahoo! Messenger gets their dates wrong in their logs” so I was obviously mistaken. That set the theme for the next decade of my life.
With no one to tell me this wasn’t right, or that I deserved better, that I didn’t have to stay stuck with this person, it never dawned on me that I had options. Childhood neglect and abuse groomed me well to be in a miserable relationship, plus we had a child and he was always quick to remind me I couldn’t afford to take care of the baby on my own.
So I focused on my kid. I went to cosmetology school, I worked, I did everything possible to stay as far away from him as I could. All the while enduring never ending digs at my expense in front of everyone, especially his family and friends, countless affairs, and a general emotional beat down.
When I finally accepted the fact that he was on dating sites and would respond to any attention given to him by the opposite sex, I spoke up about being unhappy. We never acknowledged his affairs unless it was during an active fight. It became something that just was, something he never actually admitted to or apologized for.
His solution was I should have a girlfriend. He would bring up my past, convinced my problem was that there was something missing that he couldn’t offer me as a man. He was right, he couldn’t me offer what I needed, but it wasn’t because he was a man. It was because he was a terrible person.
But I just went with it and started trying to meet women outside of my marriage. Some I ended up friends with and he would meet them, but there was never any sexual situations that he was involved in. He wasn’t interested. It was something he ended up being able to hold over my head when confronted about one of his hidden online escapades. I was out fucking women so what was he supposed to do? He eventually had me convinced that it was my idea to date other women. I had relationships with these people, some more serious than others, but they were real for me. It was all just a novelty to him though, so when I had a falling out with one of these women, he always mocked and invalidated the situation — laughing it off as “dyke drama” most of the time.
I found myself falling into awful, self-destructive habits like checking his chat history over and over and over again, reading explicit messages for hours and hours, seeing him telling women I abandoned him and our son for drugs and alcohol. He even had one woman convinced he was going to fly her out to live with him and my child because I’d ran off and left them both. I tortured myself by reading all of it, obsessing over the words. The images. Oh, the images. Searing it all into my brain.
It got to the point where I didn’t even call him out on it anymore. He lied to my face every single time, even when presented with evidence. So I didn’t bother. It wore my self-esteem down to zilch. It must have been my fault somehow. If I wasn’t such a loser, he would have been satisfied with only me, right?
I know that now, however I spent a decade in the dark. Conversations with my mother still play through my head sometimes, she would say things like “At least he doesn’t hit you or the kid” or “It could be worse, he could be on drugs”.
I spent so much time daydreaming about him finally hitting me, wishing he would give me a legitimate excuse to leave him. As if that would have given me more leverage than the numerous affairs and years of emotional battering. Being removed from the situation for so long it is hard to remember feeling like I was obligated to stay. I would tell anyone in that predicament that they have every right to leave a miserable situation and should probably do so immediately. That no one deserves to be cheated on, lied to and betrayed on a regular basis.
I hate that I stayed so long, teaching my child that it was easier to grin and bear it, versus standing up for yourself and changing an unhappy life. No matter how scared you might be.
In July of 2011 I finally worked up the courage to leave. All it took was for him to say something mean to my son and that did it for me. It was no longer me leaving for me, it was me leaving for us — my son and I.
Less than a month later, I met my current partner. It was so quick that I hadn’t had time to deal with, or process this dramatic life change. We went into it knowing full well we probably weren’t ready for each other, but we fell so deeply in love that we just worked on it together.
When I began therapy I started learning that so many of my fears, insecurities, and worries are just feelings I am holding on to because that’s all I have ever known. It doesn’t mean I don’t trust my partner. That fact doesn’t keep my heart rate down when I feel like someone is paying extra attention to him, though. It is something I am working on and have been for some time, but over the years, certain situations, or typed phrases I’d see, became a trigger.
Getting triggered by silly, petty shit is fucking humiliating. It is one of my least favorite things in the universe. It makes me feel weak, and guilty, and ashamed that I can’t just brush some stuff off like I, and others, might feel like I should be able to. Being aware of it every single time is exhausting. Recognizing that these feelings are just the result of triggers, and not a rational response to a threat, helps me pick the feelings and thoughts apart and realize it’s not based on the present. It is purely a reaction my brain has to something similar that caused so much emotional turmoil in the past.
It is getting better. My fight or flight mode isn’t activated every day lately. I don’t find myself triggered nearly as often, but I still find it infuriating to still have physiological responses to things my rational brain knows isn’t an actual threat.
When you spend decades learning that you don’t really matter, starting as a child, and that your feelings are simply overreactions and irrational emotional bullshit, it doesn’t just go away because someone finally tells you that you do, in fact, matter. Rewiring such significant data in your brain takes a lot of time – and a lot of energy.
It is truly astounding how much we do mindlessly, subconsciously, simply out of habit. Just the other day I found myself rolling down my window the minute I got in the car and reaching for my cigarettes. I haven’t smoked cigarettes in more than 3 years, but I did smoke for 20, so naturally it became a deeply ingrained habit. Also, everytime I wear my contact lenses, I catch myself trying to push my glasses (that I am not wearing) up on my nose. Those examples may be small and seemingly insignificant, but think about what that means for your reactions to certain stimuli. Your immediate thoughts and feelings that pop up when you are triggered are often times just the result of you training your brain to do so in the past.
Using thought replacement tools and working on my self-worth is slowly helping me find a place to feel like I belong and deserve to be. It is an agonizing process, frankly, and sometimes I wonder if it is all worth it. Every once in a while though, I see a break in the clouds and feel that sunshine on my face washing the pain and fear away for just a moment. That feeling keeps me going. I think that feeling is hope.

When the Miami City Commission decides Thursday whether to provide funding for 15 new beds at homeless shelters, community activists, business leaders and other elected officials will be watching.
But the vote may amount to little more than political theater.
The proposed investment by the city is conditioned on the county Homeless Trust agreeing to fund an additional 85 beds — and the Homeless Trust is refusing to go along.
“We’re not going to buy shelter beds,” Executive Director Hilda Fernandez said. “It’s not our model. Shelter beds don’t provide a means to become self sufficient.”
The debate is part of a recently reignited conversation over how Miami handles its homeless. At its center: a landmark 1997 settlement known as Pottinger v. Miami, which prevents Miami police from arresting homeless people for minor offenses without first offering them an available bed in a shelter.
Miami Commission Chairman Marc Sarnoff says the 15-year-old legal ruling needs be modernized, partly because some of the allowed activities are a threat to public safety, and also because the homeless remain vulnerable to becoming victims themselves.
But Sarnoff also believes the ruling has prevented city leaders from addressing chronic homelessness. Most homeless shelters are at capacity, leaving the police unable to do anything about the people who refuse help. Many of those people suffer from mental illness or substance-abuse issues, and have remained on the streets.
“We’ve been at this work for more than 10 years and there are still 351 homeless people on the streets of downtown Miami,” Sarnoff said. “If we don’t do something different, the situation will never change.”
Sarnoff called the new beds “an important first step.” He has requested the commission set aside $240,000 to pay for bed maintenance plus food, electricity and basic in-take services for the occupants.
The Homeless Trust’s Fernandez, however, insists that increasing the number of beds in shelters will not help the problem.
“We should be focusing on the bigger picture,” Fernandez said. “It’s about keeping people in the system, not just keeping people housed for one evening.”
She and other Homeless Trust officials would prefer to fund more “emergency beds.” Unlike shelter beds, which can be accessed by homeless people with few strings attached, emergency bed is the term used for beds that are accompanied by case-management services, such as healthcare and employment referral services. The approach is more expensive, but Fernandez says it yields long-term results.
Homeless Trust Chairman Ron Book said the trust is pursing a larger plan to increase the number of emergency beds, as well as provide more transitional housing for people moving out of shelters. Details will be firmed up at a June 25 meeting, he said.
“We’ve been successful in our work so far,” Book said. “Let us stick to our plan.”
Since the Pottinger settlement, the number of homeless people in Miami-Dade County has dropped from more than 8,000 to about 900. Still, homelessness is pervasive in downtown Miami, where about 350 people sleep on the streets of the retail district, under the overpasses and around County Hall.
Pottinger, in part, makes Miami attractive to the homeless. The settlement applies only to actions by Miami police, meaning homeless people living in other municipalities can be arrested for loitering, littering and being naked in public — but those in Miami cannot.
Sarnoff said officers from other departments have even been caught “dumping [homeless] people in the city [of Miami].”
Some advocates are on board with Sarnoff’s proposal to add 15 new beds at shelters within city limits, including Camillus House president and CEO Paul Ahr.
Sarnoff also counts Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez as a supporter, he said. Gimenez was out of the country Wednesday and could not be reached for comment.
Representatives from the city, county and Homeless Trust are planning to meet on the issue Monday.
City commissioners will weigh in earlier, in a vote that could put pressure on the Homeless Trust to fold.
Sarnoff will likely win the vote of Commissioner Francis Suarez, who called spending money on the homeless “the human thing to do.”
Commissioner Frank Carollo said he would be willing to hear Sarnoff’s case.
“But if the action is conditional on the Homeless Trust paying 85 percent and the Homeless Trust is against it, to me, it’s a moot point,” he said.
Regardless, Fernandez said the Homeless Trust board is unlikely to change course.
“We are going to do what we believe we need to do, consistent with our model for helping homeless people,” she said.

Wow Harrison Ford, you still look very good for your age! The second trailer for the newest Star Wars movie called Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now out! And, there is a ton of great footage from the movie in it, much more footage than the first trailer. Judging by the second trailer, I think J.J. Abrams knows what he is doing, and this movie is going to rock! Enjoy the trailer, and the movie comes out on December 18th, that can not get here soon enough!
From the YouTube channel OtaKing77077 or Paul Johnson, comes a great animated short film called Tie Fighter. The film features an elite squadron of Tie fighter pilots as they wage a battle against the Rebels. The animation is spectacular in this, as it’s all done in 1980’s Japanese animation that is very detailed and over the top. For someone who took four years on weekends to hand draw this, it was done beautifully!
This film is inspired by LucasArts’ 1994 TIE Fighter game, and you might not know about the game. But after watching this, you will be looking up this game. And, I like how he ended his YouTube description.
Don’t support me on Patreon, because I don’t have one! And don’t donate to my Kickstarter, because I don’t have one of those either. Instead, if you enjoyed this, give someone at your workplace, uni, school or whatever a random bar of chocolate or can or Coke or something. Seriously, it’ll probably make their day. That would totally make my day.
You will love this, enjoy!
The YouTube channel Dumb Drum made a low budget shot by shot remake of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer! Instead of fancy computer graphics, they used cardboard and glue. Instead of the snowy lightsaber scene, they shot in a field with a cardboard lightsaber, and it gets better! The YouTube channel uses “Sweded”, which means summarized recreation of popular pop-culture films using limited budgets and a camcorder. This is very Sweded, enjoy!
Someone did not tell me that today is Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, or Fat Tuesday. So Star Wars did something cool! They took pancake batter and turned it into characters from the Star Wars films! Let’s hope your pancakes don’t turn to the dark side! Enjoy!
All right, tonight I am embedding a pilot to a Star Wars like TV show that only lasted one episode! Starstruck was a CBS show that first aired in 1979. This failed sci-fi comedy featured a family called the McAllister’s opening a restaurant in outer space. If you want to see a very long and drawn out intro, bad writing, weird people in costumes, and a laugh track that makes no sense, enjoy the 26 minute video below!

150 Companies, Organizations Urge GMO Crop Trial Action
Organic food manufacturer Amy’s Kitchen, Farm Aid, Clif Bar & Company, The Urban Farm, Organic Seed Alliance and the Center for Food Safety are among more than 150 farm organizations, millers, retailers, bakeries, seed businesses and food processors urging the US Department of Agriculture to improve its oversight of experimental trials of genetically engineered crops.
The groups have signed a letter to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack that centers on their concern over the discovery this summer of unapproved genetically engineered wheat in Oregon. The signatories say the contamination shows the inadequacy of US regulation of genetically engineered crop field trials. The incident also reinforces the sensitivity of export markets, all of which reject genetically engineered wheat.
The economic impacts of the genetically engineered wheat discovery were immediate, the signatories say. Shipments from Oregon wheat farmers were temporarily put on hold after the unapproved wheat was found.
More than 400 field trials of genetically engineered wheat have been approved across the US over the last 20 years. However, the introduction of genetically engineered wheat has stopped 10 years ago after markets abroad rejected the product. Many US food and beverage companies prohibit the use of genetically engineered wheat.
The delegation has asked the USDA to halt new approvals of genetically engineered wheat field trials at least until the contamination investigation is complete. The group also says the USDA should publish a report detailing the investigation, implement recommendations that aim to improve field trial oversight, and require mandated containment protocols for all genetically engineered crop field trials.
A report released in May from watchdog group Food & Water Watch accuses the USDA of partnering with Monsanto and other GMO seed companies to push biotech crops abroad, forcing farmers to buy genetically modified seeds and agrichemicals.
Biotech Ambassadors: How the U.S. State Department Promotes the Seed Industry’s Global Agenda says the State Department lobbied foreign governments to adopt pro-biotech agricultural policies and deployed rigorous public relations campaigns to boost the industry’s image. Aside from Monsanto, the seed industry is dominated by a handful of players including Dow Chemical, Bayer, DuPont and Syngenta.

Railsbank raises $1.2m in new funding round
Written by Anthony Strzalek
Railsbank, a UK-based open banking and compliance platform, has announced the closure of a $1.2 million investment round led by Firestartr.
Railsbank aims to give digitally native companies access to global transaction banking. By offering a single API, it allows companies to create bank accounts and connect to payment schemes to receive and send money from these accounts.
The money raised will be used to enhance Railsbank’s Partner Network to initially offer pan-European capabilities to customers and take their open banking platform from closed beta to live.
The latest investment round, led by Firestartr, also included Kima Ventures and industry angels, Peter Jackson (CEO of WorldPay UK); Tim Levene (Betfair); and Philip Riese (former chairman of Zopa).
Nigel Verdon, CEO and co-founder of Railsbank, said: “We are delighted to have closed this latest round and received backing from such leading firms and figures in the investment community. It underlines the confidence we and others have in Railsbank, and our business model, and it will allow the company to continue to develop in the direction and at the pace we have planned.”


This is an unusual week, so I am doing something different for Q & A.
Today, I asked a group of experts to look into their crystal balls and predict a surprise from the results on Tuesday. Here is what the experts predict:
Professor Stephen Schneck, Director of the Institute for Policy research and Catholic Studies at the Catholic University of America: One race that has not received much attention is the Oregon governor's race, which is a statistical dead heat in all polls. But I think out on the West Coast we're starting to see the beginnings of real reaction against the Tea Party message that will help some Democrats. So, the upset I predict is Democrat John Kitzhaber beating Republican Chris Dudley in a squeaker.
George Stephanopoulos, Host of ABC’s Good Morning America: I’ll take McAdams in the Alaska Senate race.
CUA Politics Professor Matt Green: If any race will offer a surprise victory for a Democrat, it may well be the Pennsylvania Senate race. Sestak remains behind in the polls, but the race has tightened up considerably; and, as Sestak showed in his primary defeat of Arlen Specter earlier this year, he has the tenacity and skill – especially near Election Day – to beat his opponent.”
Washington Post columnist E. J. Dionne: Like you, and probably for many of the reasons you have already shared with your readers, I will be closely following Tom Perriello’s race in Virginia. If he pulls it out, his campaign will be long-studied for how a progressive candidate can stick to his principles and still win a very conservative district. I will also be keeping track of how well the Tea Party-oriented Senate candidates will do in Alaska, Delaware, Colorado, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Kentucky. If the Tea Party candidates lose in the bulk of these races, as I argued in a recent column, it will be much harder for our conservative friends to claim this election as a clear ideological mandate. If most of them win, we liberals will have lot of thinking to do and Mitch McConnell will have an extremely interesting life next year. I will be particularly interested if Joe Sestak wins in Pennsylvania, because he has run a campaign not unlike Perriello’s. Lastly -- for parochial reasons given my roots, but also because it will be a good measure of how deeply Republicans have penetrated Democratic territory -- I will be watching to see how many House seats the Republicans pick up in New England. There is not one Republican in the entire New England delegation going into the election.
Robert P. Jones, CEO of Public Religion Research Institute: The Alaska senate race promises to be a drawn-out, perhaps surprising affair. GOP nominee Joe Miller, the Tea Party candidate backed by Sarah Palin, looked early on to have the edge over defeated GOP incumbent turned write-in candidate Lisa Murkowski and a comfortable lead over Democratic nominee Scott McAdams. But polls through late October show the race tightening up and Miller's edge slipping in what is now a bona fide three-way race. The wildcard: the complicated spelling of Murkowski's name, which must be written in. To complicate things further, the list of eligible write-in candidates has swelled from half a dozen or so to 150 in the last week after a conservative radio host who supports Miller urged people to register, and some have similar names. Any outcome is a story. If Miller wins, it's another Tea Party victory over a Republican incumbent. If the write-in candidate slot has the most votes, we're sure to see every ballot scrutinized and challenged by her opponents (with hair-splitting logic attempting to discern "voter intent" reminiscent of hanging chads); and if Murkowski prevails, she'll be the first person ever to win a senate seat by write-in vote. Finally, if McAdams wins, it will be an example of the intramural GOP-Tea Party tug of war handing a seat to a long-shot Democratic candidate.
Fred Rotondaro, Chairman of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good: Virginia Democratic Congressman Tom Perriello will prove that honesty and guts still matter to voters. Despite being targeted by literally millions in attack ads, he will pull off an upset and be re-elected.

In this straightforward chronicle of a life lived with Tourette's syndrome, first-time author Handler provides a memoir reminiscent of Temple Grandin's autistic-themed Thinking in Pictures. In addition to sharing a common link with Oliver Sacks as friend and counselor, Handler, like Grandin, asks for neither sympathy nor the label of victim. He would prefer that those he encounters in daily life look beyond the neurological disorder that erupts for him in involuntary twitches and grunts. In fact, Handler, by detailing his journey from isolation to treatment and understanding, shows how this rare disease can be a rich creative challenge. Although the author, a photojournalist, never spouts obscenities (uncontrolled profanity and other inappropriate speech afflict only about 15% of the 200,000 Americans who have Tourette's), he spent much of his life up to his early 20s twitching, shaking, jumping and otherwise alarming and upsetting himself, his family and the world outside. Handler offers wide coverage of his topic, from personal thoughts and anecdotes to discussion of pharmacological and political issues. In one memorable section, he takes a "road trip" with Sacks to visit a series of Tourette sufferers and, at one point, uses a bit of subterfuge to lose the good doctor so he can become better acquainted with a young lady. Among the most interesting passages are those profiles of Touretters in which we meet a surgeon, a professional basketball player and a symphony conductor. Equally fascinating are Handler's speculations on whether such historical notables as Samuel Johnson and Mozart suffered from Tourette's. For any interested in this curious disorder, this book is a must read. Photos. (May)
Characterized by involuntary vocalizations and movements, Tourette's Syndrome is a neurological disorder affecting between 100,000 and 200,000 Americans whose diagnosis can be missed if symptoms are interpreted as behavioral rather than medical in origin. The author, a photojournalist, describes his long and sometimes painful odyssey to discover the cause of the tics and jerks that plagued his childhood and adolescence. Along the way we meet family members, physicians such as neurologist Oliver Sacks, and fellow Touretters and learn about the drugs that help control some symptomsthough not without side effects of their own. The result is an "outsider's" life told from the inside, a personal memoir that profiles other Touretters from all walks of life. Handler is occasionally moving, but the tone is mostly matter-of-facthe's clearly come to terms with his conditionand this book will be most appreciated by fellow Touretters and their friends and family. A brief resources section is included. Recommended for consumer health collections. [Gwyn Hyman Rubio's Icy Sparks, a novel whose young heroine suffers from Tourette's Syndrome, will be published by Viking this August.Ed.]Anne C. Tomlin, Auburn Memorial Hosp. Lib., NY
Episodic, revealing memoirs of a young man with Tourette's Syndrome, a neurological disorder whose symptoms include uncontrollable tics and touching and odd vocalizations. Handler, a photojournalist and faculty member of the New School for Social Research, was born with the disorder but not diagnosed until he was a senior at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Relieved to know that his condition had a name and that he wasnþt alone, Handler eventually became active in the Touretteþs Syndrome Association, and it was through this organization that he found the subjects for a series of portraits of Touretters that Life magazine assigned him to produce. Although that series didnþt run in Life, the experience led him to contact neurologist Oliver Sacks to suggest a collaboration, and their joint photo essay on a Touretteþs family was published worldwide. In 1989, he began a five-year collaboration with film producer Laurel Chiten on a documentary about Tourette's Syndrome, also titled 'Twitch & Shout.'
Thus the disorder has not only shaped Handler's life, but has been the focus of most of his life's work. His account of his travels around the country with Sacks as they sought out Touretters is a warts-and-all picture of the noted author, whose peculiar sleeping habits and other idiosyncracies Handler is not averse to recording. He is even more forthright about his own problems, however, describing his search for relief through various drugs (Haldol, pimozide, and for a long time a combination of Prozac and marijuana), his difficult relationship with his brother, the end of his unhappy marriage, in which his pot-smoking lifestyle played no small part, andhis brief affair with an especially troubled young woman. With its disjointed structure and photographs that seem to have been flipped carelessly, even haphazardly, onto the page, this memoir has all the energy and twitchiness of Touretteþs Syndrome, which is probably exactly what Handler intended.
