Fashion were founded in 1978 in Birmingham, England, originally as a post-punk band in the vein of Gang of Four or Magazine. The band originally consisted of Luke James, John Mulligan and Dik Davis. In 1979 the band signed to IRS Records and released their first album, Pröduct Perfect. The album failed to chart and mainly received airplay on college radio.
By late 1981, the band had almost completely changed in terms of musical direction, and had now become a part of the New Romantic movement. Original singer had been replaced by De Harris, and Marlon Recchi joined the band. In April 1982, the band released their most successful album, Fabrique. The album, produced by Zeus B. Held, featured the hit singles Love Shadow and Move On. (via Last.fm)

Une soirée c’est exactement comme monter des escaliers avec une femme, la politesse veut que — nous, les hommes — passions en premier.
Tout s’inverse. La montée c’est derrière et la descente c’est devant. Tout ce qu’on aime! Ne plus chercher à comprendre, se laisser porter par le chaos qui, naturellement, se chargera (comme à chaque fois) de remettre de l’ordre. Un nouvel ordre, une nouvelle succession de morceaux. Mais! N’est-ce pas là le son d’une nouvelle soirée qui s’annonce toute en montée?
Il était moins une avant de louper le dernier jour de l’an que je vous propose de passer en revue via une sélection de réels coups de cœur. Mais bon dieu, que font les programmateurs radio? Excellente année 2010 à tous!

Yet the message they deliver is so far from the Beatitudes found in The Sermon on the Mount, the cornerstone of my family's historical religious beliefs, that I wonder if they understand just how hard and vain their hearts have become, and just how much hate they embrace. Do they not see how much it conflicts with their supposed belief system?
Do they not understand why so many of us see so many parallels between them and the old Fascist and Nazi movements of pre-WWII Europe that demonized the Jews, Communists, intellectuals and homosexuals? Or that we call them theocrats because of the religious inflexibility that we in them that mimics that of the Ayatollahs of Iran today? But beyond that, I wonder if they they understand the potential long-term consequences of letting this particular genie out of the bottle:
Walid Shoebat, Kamal Saleem and Zachariah Anani are the three stooges of the Christian right. These self-described former Muslim terrorists are regularly trotted out at Christian colleges -- a few days ago they were at the Air Force Academy -- to spew racist filth about Islam on behalf of groups such as Focus on the Family.This is no accident. Focus on the Family has one of the biggest hate-rackets-disguised-as-piety operating in the United States. Yet, despite the obvious odious behavior of FoF, Dobson's endorsement is craved by the Republican Presidential candidates while their hate-speech is supported and enabled by the hate-and-fear-mongers at Faux News and ignored by the rest of the media:
Of course, though many have pointed out that the fictional claims of the three-liars are fabrications and should not be heeded, it's as if the truth doesn't matter. The old-boy media club has an attitude that is "why should anyone report the vile hatred that is festering in the hearts of so many power-brokers in the religious right?" But why do I ask such a silly rhetorical question of the Fourth Estate? We live in a country with a "faith-based" Presidency in which facts and fact-based policies are quaint, old-fashioned are as irrelevant as the Constitution has become:
These men are frauds, but this is not the point. They are part of a dark and frightening war by the Christian right against tolerance that, in the moment of another catastrophic terrorist attack on American soil, would make it acceptable to target and persecute all Muslims, including the some 6 million Muslims who live in the United States. These men stoke these irrational fears. They defend the perpetual war unleashed by the Bush administration and championed by Sen. John McCain. McCain frequently reminds listeners that "the greatest danger facing the world is Islamic terrorism," as does Mike Huckabee, who says that "Islamofascism" is "the greatest threat this country [has] ever faced." George W. Bush has, in the same vein, assured Americans that terrorists hate us for our freedoms, not, of course, for anything we have done. Bush described the "war on terror" as a war against totalitarian Islamofascism while the Israeli air force was dropping tens of thousands of pounds of iron fragmentation bombs up and down Lebanon, an air campaign that killed 1,300 Lebanese civilians.
"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, ..."
Yes, in our conceit and arrogance, too many of us have listened to a siren song that speaks of the glories of empire. We have forgotten, or just plain set-aside, what we were for this great dream of Pax Americana under the heels of our armed world hegemony. As a country, we are stuck in an unending nightmare of propaganda that is fostering delusions of a benevolent American empire creating a global democracy behind which lives a voracious appetite for power and dominance where we sit at the head of the table -- first among "equals." This new America, one at decided odds to the old America which aspired to modesty and self-restraint in the exercise of power, gives rise to the unabashed denigration and exploitation of others (and it's own citizenry, but that's for another day). And no tale is too sordid, for some, to advance that perverted dream of America:
The three men tell lurid tales of being recruited as children into Palestinian terrorist organizations, murdering hundreds of civilians and blowing up a bank in Israel. Saleem says that as a child he infiltrated Israel to plant bombs via a network of tunnels underneath the Golan Heights, although no incident of this type was ever reported in Israel. He claims he is descended from the "grand wazir" of Islam, a title and a position that do not exist in the Arab world. They assure audiences that the Palestinians are interested not in a peaceful two-state solution but rather the destruction of Israel, the murder of all Jews and the death of America. Shoebat claims he first came to the United States as part of an extremist "sleeper cell."That they're phonies and it's known matters not. Because they play their parts well for their masters:
"These three jokers are as much former Islamic terrorists as 'Star Trek's' Capt. James T. Kirk was a real Starship captain," said Mikey Weinstein, the head of the watchdog group The Military Religious Freedom Foundation. The group has challenged Christian proselytizing in the military and denounced the visit by the men to the Air Force Academy.
The speakers include in their talks the superior virtues of Christianity. Saleem, for example, says his world "turned upside down when he was seriously injured in an automobile accident."Yes, appeal to our chauvinism and inflated egos. Tell us we'd be doing the world a favor if we eliminated the Muslims. Whip up the irrational hatred. Dehumanize others so you can't feel their pain and reflect on the evils you have done. Make them cockroaches in our eyes. Just don't forget to cash those checks as you hurry out of town. Because if you don't hurry out, you'll be headed to the camps, with the blessings of the jailers who were your former masters.
"A Christian man tended to Kamal at the accident scene, making sure he got the medical treatment he needed," his Web site says. "Kamal's orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist were also Christian men whom over a period of several months ministered the unconditional love of Jesus Christ to him as he recovered. The love and sacrificial giving of these men caused Kamal to cry out to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob acknowledging his need for the Savior. Kamal has since become a man on a new mission, as an ambassador for the one true and living God, the great I Am, Jehovah God of the Bible."
Sadly, our political system is corrupt and we can no longer discuss the middle east or Muslims rationally. Even people whom I respect tend to lump all Muslims in with the few, like some on the religious right, who demand the rest of the nation grant them special privileges for their religious beliefs, such as the dominionists in South Carolina. Or the constant push against the First Amendment Separation of Church and State that has kept the peace amongst the diverse religions for so long in America.
These three con artists are not the problem. There is enough scum out there to take their place. Rather, they offer a window into a worldview that is destroying the United States. It has corrupted the Republican Party. It has colored the news media. It has entered into the everyday clichés we use to explain ourselves to ourselves. It is ignorant and racist, but it is also deadly. It grossly perverts the Christian religion. It asks us to kill to purify the Earth. It leaves us threatened not only by the terrorists who may come from abroad but the ones who are rising from within our midst.And like Cassandra, our warnings will be ignored until it is too late. The terrorists blew up a building. We destroyed our country from within. They could never have done it, they were never powerful enough.
Only we were capable of destroying America, not through our strength or our bombs or our guns, but through our weakness, arrogance and fear.

Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that has been used for over 100 years to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches. While it has been widely accepted as a form of healthcare, many people still question how exactly it works. In this article, we will explore the science of chiropractic and how it works to alleviate pain and improve overall well-being.
The foundation of chiropractic care is the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself. This belief is based on the idea that the body is controlled by the nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. According to chiropractors, when the nervous system is functioning properly, the body can heal itself and maintain optimal health. However, when the nervous system is compromised, the body’s ability to heal itself is impaired, leading to pain and dysfunction.
Chiropractors believe that the spine is the key to maintaining a healthy nervous system. The spine is the central point of the nervous system and is responsible for protecting the spinal cord and nerves. When the spine is misaligned, it can put pressure on the nerves and spinal cord, leading to pain and dysfunction. This is where chiropractic care comes in.
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques, such as adjustments, mobilization, and manipulation, to realign the spine and relieve pressure on the nerves and spinal cord. Adjustments are the most common technique used by chiropractors and involve the use of a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust to realign the spine. This can help to reduce inflammation, relieve muscle tension, and improve range of motion. Mobilization and manipulation are similar techniques that are used to realign the spine and relieve pressure on the nerves and spinal cord.
Adjustments are not only used to realign the spine, but also to release joint fixations that can occur in the spine or other joints of the body. Joint fixations occur when the joint surfaces are not moving properly, leading to pain, inflammation, and muscle tension. By releasing these joint fixations, chiropractors can help to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tension.
In addition to adjustments, mobilization, and manipulation, chiropractors also use soft tissue therapy to relieve muscle tension and improve function. Soft tissue therapy involves the use of massage, stretching, and other hands-on techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve function. This can help to reduce inflammation, relieve muscle tension, and improve range of motion.
Chiropractors also work with patients to develop exercise and rehabilitation programs that will help to improve strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. These programs may include exercises to improve core strength, such as Pilates or yoga, and stretches to improve flexibility, such as hamstring stretches. They may also include lifestyle changes such as stress management techniques and improved nutrition. By improving overall well-being, chiropractors can help to reduce the frequency and severity of pain and improve overall health.
It’s worth noting that chiropractic care is not just limited to the spine, but it also addresses other joints of the body such as the hips, shoulders, and even the jaw. Chiropractors use the same techniques, such as adjustments, mobilization, and manipulation, to realign these joints and relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles.

Heroes & Wizards: Harry Potter in the Marvel Universe
I don’t know about you, but I love a heartwarming hero, some supernatural powers, flying, and mystical creatures. Whether that flying is because a genius made a super suit, or because Ron finally learned to say Wingardium Leviosa right… I’m not picky when it comes to a crossover of Harry Potter in the Marvel Universe!
Harry Potter & the Scorer’s Stone was first published in 1997. Many millennials who grew up with the series are now in their late 20’s and 30’s. As the fan base gets older, we’re seeing more allusions to the Wizarding World in books, movies, shows, and comics.
Blame it on fans of the of best-selling books, cinematic franchises, and theme parks settling into their careers. Or maybe it’s just because older fans of the Wizarding World like the authors/artists of New Excalibur #3 really know their audience!
Fans of both the Marvel and Harry Potter Universes love a good crossover and the latest edition of New Excalibur features a cameo that will bring smiles to Marvel and Potter fans alike.
Juggernaut, in street clothes, races through London after evil versions of the Original X-Men squad. He unexpectedly comes upon 3 very familiar looking teens. There’s no doubt that these teens are meant to be the golden trio themselves: Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
Is that Diagon Alley’s Secrete Entrance?
Not only that, but it looks like Cain Marko may be running past the secret entrance to Diagon Alley. The jagged pattern of the “doorway” that the trio steps out of is eerily similar to the one we see in the first of eight movies in the Harry Potter Cinematic Universe.
Could it be that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were heading from Diagon Alley back into the Muggle world as Juggernaut sped by to stop the villainous versions of the X-Men? Maybe they popped in for new quills, to window shop at Quality Quidditch Supplies, or a Butter Beer from The Leaky Cauldron.
Does the Wizarding World of Harry Potter exist in the Marvel Universe? Thankfully, speculation is half the fun of a crossover!

and Jack White are now officially divorced, after an agreement was
finally signed off by a Nashville court judge on November 26. The
contract names Elson as the primary residential parent for the
couple's two children, while White will receive 150 days with them,
Associated Press reports.

The pair married in 2005, but announced news
of their split in 2011, hosting an unusual party to celebrate the
"making and breaking of the sacred union of
marriage". However, in August this year, the model was granted
a restraining order against her former husband, following
harassment claims. White responded by countersuing, with his lawyer
describing the allegations as "inflammatory and disingenuous".

Wendy Mitchinson. Body Failure : Medical Views of Women, 1900-1950. Toronto, ON: University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division, 2013. eBook Collection (EBSCOhost), EBSCOhost (accessed November 19, 2016).
Kerry Peterson (ed.). “It’s Not Society That’s the Problem, It’s Women’s Bodies’: A Historical View of Medical Treatment of Women,” Intersections: Women on Law, Medicine and Technology (Aldershot: Dartmouth Publishing, 1997) 25-48.
Wendy Mitchinson, a historian at the University of Toronto, examined how the medical profession in the first-half of the twentieth century thought about and attempted to deal with women’s bodies. This blog post studies specifically how physicians dealt with cancer in females during this time period, specifically cervical and breast cancer, and how this may reflect larger societal trends in thinking about women’s bodies during this time. Mitchinson argues that physicians tended to view women’s bodies as inherently problematic. “Cervical and breast cancer suggested that women who met their womanly obligations to marry and have children were at risk, as if there was a design flaw in their bodies.” Additionally, physicians seemed to feel a sense of urgency in treating women for cancer, revealing “a sense that the body was guilty until proven innocent,” and they often used drastic measures to eradicate any possibility of the disease.
After infectious diseases came under greater control, cancer took over as one of the greatest risks to mortality, only behind heart diseases. Because cancer was “widespread and deadly,” doctors became very concerned with studying potential causes of the disease. Statistics revealed that women had higher rates of cancer of the “peritoneum, intestines, and rectum,” while “men suffered from cancer of the cheek cavity and from skin cancer.” Sometimes physicians pinpointed a specific gendered activity as being at fault. For example, cancer of the lip was supposedly caused by men smoking. Researchers also observed that age played a factor, as women typically died about ten years younger from cancer than did men. Therefore age and gender predictors helped physicians to create a narrative to identify both risk factors and individuals who might have been more at risk.
Treatments for cancer were largely unknown. Doctors began to perform surgeries and eventually radiation therapies, but even in the 1930s, a speculated treatment for cervical cancer suggested using “fresh human placenta and ovary” and blood transfusion, which was said to cure cancer rates in 25 percent of women when used with other methods. As awareness of the disease spread, women were encouraged to consult their doctors if they suspected symptoms of the disease but many did not for a variety of reasons, including modesty. In 1902 a physician recorded his frustration about the number of women who came in frequently with cervical cancer even though their disease had progressed too far to to be cured. If it was “too late” to treat the disease, then the death of the patient was a “happy release.” Because of lack of knowledge on the causes and treatments of cancer, as well as cultural and personal anxieties, society and the medical field felt a need to warn women to seek treatment early. Because of the prevalence of these messages, society in general also developed great anxiety about cancer in women.
Cervical cancer was supposedly the second most frequent site for cancer in women, according to doctors in 1940. Mortality rates were also high, second only to cancer of the breast. Ironically, “women who conformed to the norms of society–who married and had children, especially those with many children–were most at risk.” Physicians did not question the ability and purpose of the female body to have so many children, but rather criticized it for not being able to do so without also growing cancer. To them it seemed to be an evident “design flaw.” Some physicians suggested that cancer developed in the cervix because of “trauma” there; others suggested emotional causes of this cancer such as “worry about money, illness of husband or children,” deaths, “monotony” in their lives, and “becoming older.” These factors were thought to contribute more to cancer of the uterus, a distinctly female organ, than cancers of other parts of the body, showing the underlying belief that female’s anatomy was perhaps especially susceptible to disease. Doctors also showed their anxiety about women using birth control in the years before and during the 1930s by also assuming it to be another potential cause for cancerous growth.
In treating cancer, if a physician could not determine himself whether or not a woman had cancer, he would send her to a clinic, and “if she refused to go he should inform her relatives.” Women’s bodies were separated from their person; the body was a threat and sometimes both the woman and time were barriers to combating the disease. Doctors began recommending yearly or twice-yearly preemptive cervical checks, with the assumption that the disease was prevalent and needed to be prevented. This reminded women that their bodies were “potential sources of danger.” The internal examination became even more “normal” with the invention of the pap smear in the 1940s. Yet with the regularity of examinations and messages about preventing disease, women were also reminded that their bodies were dangerous. In 1930, H.S. Crossen and R.J. Crossen authored Diseases of Women which prescribed treatment for cancer and reproductive diseases with the presumption of removing as much of the sickly internal organs as possible, still allowing the woman to live. Few questioned the future health of the patient, but some wondered if “marital relations” could survive post-surgery.
In the case of breast cancer, doctors also tended to perceive the disease as related to women’s “essential nature” rather than external factors. Because breast cancer occurred predominantly in women, physicians often looked to women’s bodies as a causal explanation and determined it was their “improper use or nonuse of those bodies that accounted for the development of breast cancer.” For example, while it appeared that breastfeeding was declining, doctors began to determine that women who neglected the “proper” uses of their bodies for feeding their children would be more susceptible to cancer. This gave doctors more reason to endorse breastfeeding. In Canada, researcher John Joseph Cassidy theorized in 1912 that cancer was especially “liable” to parts of the body “which had survived their usefulness,” such as the breasts after menopause. E. A. Keenleyside published that “80 percent of the women suffering from breast cancer had been married and that 70 percent had had children.” However, the medical field reassured society that “It was not marriage per se that was the crucial factor but fertility and its extent.” In the 1930s and 1940s physicians also began to link the female hormone estrogen to cancer, helping to validate the perception that the female body was inherently problematic.
By studying how society and medical officials dealt with and sought to solve the problem of cervical and breast cancers, it is evident that women’s bodies were construed as both inherently flawed and dangerous, and apparently unaware of their own reproductive purposes. The fertility of a woman’s body was still viewed as its primary characteristic and deviating from traditional “uses” of one’s body to reproduce or breastfeed would be detrimental. At the same time, women who did use their bodies for these purposes and developed cancer were evidence that uniquely-female organs were inherently susceptible to disease and flawed.
Even while women were gradually gaining autonomy over their bodies (see posts 1 and 2), this article demonstrates that women were still believed to be inherently weaker and more sickly than men. Women still needed a great degree of guidance to maintain their bodies and to understand them. For women who were now expected to hearken to societal ideals of body shape and race, it is apparent that many felt anxiety about being able to control and maintain their bodies. The medical field apparently felt this way, as regulatory practices and precautions were taken in regards to women’s health that increasingly made her subject to the judgment of a doctor.

A Tanking Trend to Know for Two Wednesday NBA Games
Tanking is a dirty word in the NBA. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was fined $600,000 by the league for talking about tanking last week. Commissioner Adam Silver wants to disincentive tanking and is considering draft lottery reform as well as expanding the playoffs. However, until something changes “losing is our best option”, as Cuban said, and that applies to a record number of teams this season.
There are currently eight franchises on pace to win fewer than 30 games. That has never happened in a full 82-game NBA season. With many experts predicting a loaded NBA draft, it is a race to the bottom. Instead of trying to collect wins, teams want ping pong balls.
How can bettors profit from tanking in the NBA? We’ve got a trend with a 601-game sample, and two games that match on Wednesday. Let’s dive in.

‘Breaking Bad’ Movie: Why Fans Think Aaron Paul Is Teasing a Film
With anti-heroes being everywhere on TV and in movies lately, the public is forgetting that AMC’s Breaking Bad moved the dial forward on this concept. After six years off the air, few other defunct AMC shows are still being discussed and watched in reruns than Breaking Bad. You can also include constant chatter about its two main stars: Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul.
Both have moved on to other stellar projects. However, Aaron Paul is possibly hinting at an upcoming Breaking Bad movie. Is there really one on the horizon, or is it fan wish fulfillment?
Paul’s social media has strong hints, and there is official confirmation a movie is in the works. Such a movie might have to play up the past than the present.
Aaron Paul’s social media images seem to indicate a movie green light
The first week of July, Aaron Paul used his Instagram account to post various mysterious images seeming to indicate something about Breaking Bad was about to happen. One of those images was a pic of Paul and Cranston wading through water together as their old characters. Paul captioned it with “Even Sooner” after a couple of earlier related images posted saying “Soon.”
Does this indicate Paul and Cranston are shooting a Breaking Bad movie together now, or were these images teasers for something else?
Page Six confirms Deadline reported on a movie “being in the works.” This will reportedly be a sequel and show Jesse’s trajectory in the days after Walter White’s death.
Supposing it’s accurate, then how does Cranston fit into the project?
If ‘Better Call Saul’ won’t have a Walt cameo, then the movie might
Even though the Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul is very popular and still going, some patience has worn thin on hoped for cameos of former BB stars. Many were told we’d see a cameo or two by Walt by now, no matter if it’s maybe still forthcoming.
Since these are all events that happened in the years prior to (or during) the BB timeline, some were also hoping to see Paul’s Jesse make an appearance in the last few seasons.
While dozens of other cameo crossovers have already occurred, a lot of people would like to see Cranston’s Walt in some form or another soon. We all know Cranston has been super busy with everything under the sun. More than a few of us even want to see him do a movie remake of Network based on the Broadway version he’s done playing Howard Beale.
In a Breaking Bad movie, we’d have to assume any appearance by Walt would be in flashback. Unless they truly go with the dreaded thought of him being alive.
Social media chatter already worries Walt is alive
If you go on Twitter lately, you’ll see discussions already starting about this Breaking Bad movie sequel and growing concern it’ll throw a curve ball on Walt’s fate.
Most fans agree Walt’s death at the end of the original series was classic television no one should dare alter. Having Walt alive in the movie’s present timeline would ruin a perfect ending that was simultaneously tragic and cathartic.
Aaron Paul placing Cranston’s image as a teaser might be a mere marketing ploy to whet all appetites. Let’s hope any involvement with Cranston will involve strictly being a Walt cameo from the past. No doubt they could deftly intertwine the present with the past so it seems like Walt is ever-present with the events of the current plot.
As the recent HBO sequel to Big Little Lies demonstrates, the specter of a past character (Perry Wright) can become just as haunting and revealing through flashbacks than if they’re physically in the current space. Walt likely has plenty of similar aspects to his personality we never really knew.

BPD VS. Bipolar Disorder: Understanding The Differences
For a layman, there won’t be visible differences between borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. After all, both are mental disorders and involve difficulties with impulse control and mood shifts. In fact, both can appear so similar that most doctors and medical practitioners based in clinical settings can have a tough time distinguishing one from the other. However, correct diagnosis of each is vital, at least when determining treatment for both these psychiatric conditions.
Why Is Diagnosis A Vital Aspect?
It is chiefly on the basis of patterns or the symptoms that we can reach a point of diagnosis. Frankly speaking, a clear biological model is essential, and given the complexities that the human brain is known for, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) offers professionals some clue about getting ahead with a trustworthy and continuous diagnosis.
How To Distinguish One From The Other?
Bipolar disorder is all about mood episodes, depression, and something more of mania. On the other hand, borderline personality disorder involves a persistent form of behavior — having extreme ups and downs. Now, this is largely similar to both, so sufferers cannot be easily segregated into two separate categories. Bipolar disorder can be divided into Type 1 and Type 2. The former has manic symptoms and sometimes characterizes hallucinations, while the latter seems very similar to borderline personality disorder. For better understanding, these are a few ways how it’ll be helpful to demarcate bipolar from BPD.
Change Of Moods
People affected with bipolar Type 1 keep oscillating from depression to mania. The latter includes deep depressive states within the manic episode (like rapid cycling). In between these cycles, people also experience ‘true-symptom-free wellness’. Now, this can last for a considerable time, like weeks, months, and sometimes, years. Now, BPD includes emotional symptoms that create a substantial impact on everyday living, but are usually short-lived and reactive towards stress, both at home and work.
Bipolar disorder is marked by noticeable changes in sleep patterns. So, you might see someone who can be awake for days at a stretch and that too without feeling exhausted. On the other hand, BPD patients do not suffer in this way as their sleep patterns are considerably less impacted.
Many might not know this but bipolar disorders or depression and such are hereditary for the most part. However, this doesn’t mean that such ailments pass directly via a single or specific gene. If there’s a family history of mood disorders, then there’s increased likelihood of it reappearing in relatives and the future generations.
Effect On Relationships
The hallmark of any BPD patient is that he or she gets affected by conflicts with certain strong relationships. They have such histories, and most of these experiences with emotional dysregulation (like strong reactions, variability) occur in response to interactions among the relationships.
Ask any BPD patient and he or she will tell you how inflicting self-harm is common, and that is thought of as a way to help with emotional regulation. This doesn’t imply everybody tends to feel suicidal, but that’s just a way to change their feelings. Going by reports, almost 75% of individuals affected by BPD have either cut, hit, burnt or injured themselves somehow.
Right Diagnosis Is Of Paramount Importance
Most professional psychologists and clinical experts are aware of how they must go about when diagnosing both these mental illnesses. However, it is always advised not to take any medicine without consulting a mental health doctor. Both bipolar disorders and borderline personality disorders get very difficult to manage, but once the treatment provided is the right one, responsiveness is equally good.
Getting the first step right is the most important task towards achieving a healthy life. And if required, all queries related to both must be tackled from the start. To accelerate the process of recovery in both cases, individual support, care, and assistance must be initiated. Besides, there are the treatment options. So talking to the clinician at the beginning is of utmost importance. If all these can be clubbed together, the results will soon begin to show. But if unsure, asking for a second opinion is always welcome.

In Appreciation of Boston’s Armenian Heritage Park
By Steven Vilkas
The Japanese have the word komorebi, which roughly translates to the sunlight filtering through the trees. The beauty of this sight was all around us at the last “Tea and Tranquility” event put on by the founders, friends, and supporters of the Armenian Heritage Park in Boston.
It was a warm, pleasant, and peaceful Wednesday afternoon, with the weather complemented by the equally warm, pleasant, and peaceful personalities of those who had decided to attend… as well as those curious characters who were interested in what we were doing. Perhaps they observed a kind of komorebi within us being projected through our smiles, our conversations, and the fellowship we shared around the now-famous sculpture of the split dodecahedron, which crowns the park as a profoundly poignant and poetic symbol.
While enjoying our surroundings as well as the socialization, the crowd was building, and in spite of this I felt as though I were still in some faraway sanctuary that, curiously, happens to be in the heart of a bustling city. There are so very many things about the Armenian Heritage Park that set it apart from other public spaces in urban environments. The ethos it was founded upon are ever-present… as ubiquitous as the soothing bubbling of the fountain at the center of its beloved labyrinth… or of the flowers, in their variegated splendor, which also happen to remind me (metaphorically) of the founders and friends who have done so much from building, to beautifying, to tirelessly promoting the value of this labor of love.
One could, in the precious silence of the early morning, find a means for meditation by walking the aforementioned labyrinth… or at dusk, perhaps, to observe the travelers from dozens if not hundreds of nations conversing with locals on the comfortable black benches. You will be able to appreciate the stunning Boston skyline… its familiar fusion of old, historical structures with new, innovative edifices, while listening to the festive music and entertainment of nearby Faneuil Hall. You’ll smile as you gaze at the charming North End homes, undoubtedly enjoying the aroma of many delicious dishes while you observe that Boston Harbor is a stone’s throw away from where you’re located.
At one point I had the privilege of listening to Donald (Don) Tellalian speak to the crowds about a number of different subjects. This man, animated with the passion and enthusiasm of an advocate for the public welfare most sincere, told the story of how the park came to be but also of what it represents from a number of different perspectives. He used a miniature dodecahedron to demonstrate its geometric properties, not merely from a scientific perspective: He cleverly used the nature of this fascinating shape to reconcile matters of ethics, immigration/assimilation, the “coming together and pulling apart” of the human condition.
The presentation spoke to us in a way which, even now as I sit here in reflection… appears as a brilliant proof of how mathematics can speak a beautiful, universal language and unite our distant human families under one roof of common, equitable principles.
The dodecahedron sculpture speaks to the architect and the philosopher—to the life-long resident as well as the new arrival. To the Bostonian as well as the tourist, without the slightest indifference or discrimination. We are all, indubitably, bound to experience both impermanence and a metamorphosis in our own experience.
The end this beautiful talk produced an empowering chorus of applause, which was followed up with a poem composed by Peter Chan. He was as selfless, interesting, and engaging a fellow as you please, as well as quite talented with photography. We then walked the labyrinth at the encouragement of Andrea Burns. This was something to behold, to take pride in… each of us walking mindfully—a fascinating contradiction of independence and interdependence. While we were each on our own while walking, thinking, and feeling singularly, we were physically no more than a few steps from each other… drawing forth from the comforts of solidarity while certainly enjoying the “disconnect” from our modern state of constantly being “online.”
Between discussions, conversations, and walking sessions, everyone had a chance to enjoy iced tea and pastries, which were both refreshing and delicious. One couldn’t have asked for a better time. Body, mind, and spirit were each well treated. Consider this a token of our gratitude as well as a declaration of our unwavering support.
Steven Vilkas is co founder of S&S Consulting, a Boston-based firm dedicated to leadership development, and a North End resident.

The world is changing fast and to keep up you need local knowledge with global context.
Voted as the best destination of 2014, Cape Town has become South Africa’s little gem. But how did the sleepy town transform into a global holiday destination? Travel back in time as we take a nostalgic photo trip down Cape Town’s memory lane. These classic photos encapsulate the ever-changing city.
Cape Town City Bowl (1896)
Although the buildings have changed significantly in the almost 120 years since this picture was taken, the iconic Cape Town City Bowl is still instantly recognisable.
Somerset Hospital, Green Point (19th Century)
The date of the photo of Somerset Hospital below is unknown, but was most likely taken near the end of the 19th Century. Little has changed of the facade of the hospital, which was first opened in 1864.
Orange Street (1870)
The inhabitants in the picture of Orange Street in 1870 below seem to be of a different world to the one of today. Notice the tramway going into the distance, which transported 19th century Capetonians around what was then more a town than a city.
Sea Point (1890)
Sea Point is today a dense and bustling hub of activity with apartment buildings, shopping centres, traffic and people at every corner. In 1890 it looks like a sleepy seaside town.
Woodstock Beach (1899)
Visitors to the Cape Town area of Woodstock today may find it inconceivable that it was once a trendy seaside suburb. Cottages were lined up on the edge of the beach, and the infamous Cape of storms lead to numerous shipwrecks in the vicinity. Unfortunately, with the advent of the foreshore, the sea no longer comes up to greet the inhabitants of Woodstock, but there still remains to this day a Beach Road in Woodstock (albeit with no beach).
Cape Town Old Pier (1911)
The Old Pier was completed in 1910 and became a social gathering point for Capetonians. The pier even included a Pavilion where ballet and classical music concerts were given. In 1939 the Old Pier was demolished to give way to the foreshore, and roads, infrastructure and high rise buildings now stand in its place.
Cape Town Foreshore (1948)
The foreshore is a large area of reclaimed land from Table Bay, and today includes the Cape Town Railway Station and Civic Centre. Even the Cape Town International Convention Centre was once part of the bay.
Kloof Road (1953)
Kloof Road, between Sea Point and Camps Bay, has always been a spectacular drive, even though it was once a long journey to travel. As a result, Camps Bay was regarded as a distant holiday destination for even Capetonians. The beautiful scenery remains, while the area has become significantly more built up.
Camps Bay (1910)
The Rotunda is the only recognisable building that still remains from this picture taken in 1910 of Camps Bay.
Sea Point Pool (1930)
The Sea Point Pool has been a Cape Town institution for decades. Opened in 1914, it contained an open air cinema and stage as well as a tearoom. During Apartheid it was unfortunately closed to the black South African population, but today enjoys a rich diversity of people, cultures and nationalities from around the world.
Cape Town Cable Way (1964)
The Cape Town Cable Way was opened in 1929 to provide an easy way up Table Mountain. The picture below shows a group of visitors inside the second cable car that was introduced in 1958. With open air windows, it looks a bit more precarious than the one today.

The results of the evaluation of the Finnish National Biodiversity Action Plan 1997-2005 indicate clear changes towards better consideration of biodiversity in the routines and policies of many sectors of the administration and economy. There are many indications that actors across society have recognized the need to safeguard biodiversity and have begun to adjust their practices accordingly. Several concrete measures have been undertaken in forests, agricultural habitats and in other habitats significantly affected by human activities. Biodiversity research has expanded significantly and the knowledge of Finland´s biological diversity has increased. In general, the Action Plan has supported public discussion of the need to safeguard biodiversity and this discussion has resulted in more positive attitudes towards nature conservation.
So far, however, the implemented measures have not been sufficiently numerous or efficient to stop the depletion of original biological diversity. Many habitats remain far from their original state. More species will become endangered in the immediate future unless more effective and far-reaching measuresare taken. The objective of the EU to halt the decline of biodiversity by 2010 will not be achieved given the current development. Although the deterioration in biodiversity may have slowed down in several cases, many economic activities continue to have a negative impact on biodiversity. The scale of these activities is normally greater than that of the measures taken to manage and restore biodiversity.
The evaluation focused on detecting changes in the administration of key sectors, analysing the recent development of biodiversity and observing interlinkages between these two. The analysis of administrative measures was based on interviews and on examining policy documents, reports and other relevant literature. The analysis covered changes in the administration of nature conservation, forestry, agriculture, land use and regional and development cooperation. The analysis of the development of biodiversity was based on employing 75 pressure, state, impact and response indicators. There were 5 to 15 indicators for each of the nine major habitat types of Finland.
Three separate case studies were made to provide further insights into some key issues: 1) A GISanalysis was made of the development of land use patterns in North Karelia and south-west Finland between 1990 and 2000, 2) two scenarios on the development of forest structure in North Karelia until 2050 were developed using a special MELA-model and 3) the cost-effectiveness of the agri-environmental support scheme was examined by comparing different land allocation choices and their effects on biodiversity on an average farm in southern Finland. The evaluation also paid special attention to the role of research in safeguarding biodiversity and reflected Finnish experiences against an international background.

Cynthia Bailey is like an old-fashioned Housewife from back in the day when Housewives was about the interpersonal family dramas, not feuding with cast members over strange social protocol or complete lies. Still Cynthia is sharing a show with these ladies and their “disgusting and disappointing” behavior.
I’m just gonna admit it – some small part of me ADORES Jillusional. She brings the crazy, the denial, the cluelessness, and she is not afraid to throw it all out there.

Jeremy denies that he’s rekindling things with his infamous ex, and explains they ran into each other at a bar, and decided to show the world that despite what we see on Teen Mom 2 they actually get along pretty well!
The chance meet-up with Leah was just that – serendipity! “It wasn’t planned or anything,” says Jeremy. “It just happened we went to the same place. Me and Leah are not back together, we’re strictly friends.”
Kailyn Lowry hasn’t officially revealed the identity of baby no 3‘s father, but she’s certainly taken the time to slam him publicly – even accusing him of abandoning her during pregnancy!
Instead of allowing Kailyn to back him out of the spotlight, the rumored baby daddy, Chris Lopez is kinda outing himself to fight back against the Teen Mom 2 star’s allegations. Chris and Kail “briefly” dated after she split from Javi Marroquin. Their divorce isn’t finalized, but Kail has certainly moved way on!
And of course, tacked onto the very tail end was the astounding revelation that, for some God-forsaken reason, Jesus, or possibly the devil put it into Phaedra Parks‘ prayer cloth that she should start a totally baseless rumor that Kandi Burruss is a secret lesbian menage-a-trois stalker who plotted to drug and rape Porsha Williams. Yep – fun times in libel-land from everybody’s favorite lawless lawyer!
Apparently earlier this year, Phaedra told poor, innocent, unsuspecting (Ha!) Porsha this lurid tale, then sat back on her donkey booty through the entire season to watch as Porsha defended herself and kept Phaedra’s confidences. And never, ever, not once, did Phaedra utter a word that it was SHE who started this rumor about Kandi. I’m sure Phaedra will handily dismiss it as “shade,” or something she heard ‘on the streets,’ then swat it away with her handbag, give herself a spritz of holy water then waltz into the church pew for some restoration. Except honey-butt: NO – you have burned the place down. Call Willie Watkins and fire up the band cause this big, ole fraudulent lie was your Phuneral By Phaedra!


No one at the Pentagon has plans to stick G.I.s in giant, six-legged, super-strong robots. Yet. But you've got to figure it's only a matter of time, now that a Finnish subsidiary of John Deere is building the machines for new-jack lumberjacks.In the works for a decade and a half, the Plustech Oy Walking Machine is supposed to be an eco-friendly, log-hauling monstrosity; its six massive legs spreads the weight of the machine evenly, the company claims, to minimize any impact on the forest soil."Depending on the terrain, the ground pressure can be adjusted by changing the machines six 'shoes,'" according to Plustech Oy. "When the machine confronts obstacles, it simply steps over them... avoid[ing] significant ground disturbance and minimiz[ing] damage to tree roots.The company's website doesn't have much detail on the machine. But, in pictures and videos, the spider-like Walker seems to be able to toss around logs and step through the forest with ease. And for a Defense Department keyed up to build walking robots, that would seem like a mighty tempting target.

Ohio Ballot Board sued over approval of proposed abortion rights constitutional amendment
A new lawsuit claims the Ohio Ballot Board made the wrong call when they approved the validity of a constitutional amendment proposal on abortion.
In the lawsuit, filed this week with the Ohio Supreme Court, Cincinnati attorney Curt Hartman asks the court to demand the ballot board vacate their March 13 decision, in which they said the proposed ballot language to cement abortion rights in the Ohio Constitution attempts to make changes to only one constitutional issue.
The lawsuit also wants the state Ballot Board to “issue a determination that the foregoing initiative petition contains more than one proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution,” divide the petition into separate initiatives and certify those with the Ohio Attorney General.
To prove the separate issues, the lawsuit cites the overturned legalization of abortion in Roe v. Wade, in which abortion was described as “inherently different” than other personal rights. Because abortion is “inherently different,” parties in the lawsuit argue it represents a different issue than “one’s own reproductive decisions,” which is part of the ballot initiative, therefore “does not and cannot relate to a single general object or purpose.”
The lawsuit acknowledges in a footnote that supporters of the ballot initiative “have not, to date, provided any explanation of the distinction between a decision concerning ‘continuing one’s own pregnancy’ versus concerning ‘abortion.’
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost saw the initiative before the board, and certified the amendment proposal in a separate process. In his letter confirming that the proposal could then move on to the ballot board, Yost made his own comments on the issue.
“I cannot base my determination on the wisdom or folly of a proposed amendment as a matter of public policy,” Yost wrote in his letter on the amendment proposal.
The lawsuit now sets the state, specifically Yost, up to defend the decision of the ballot board, despite any personal feelings he may have on the initiative itself.
The board made no decisions on the merits of the issue, though state Sen. Theresa Gavarone, R-Bowling Green, made a point to speak out against the issue during the board meeting, saying she was “horrified at the thought of this amendment.”
Hartman is representing Margaret DeBlase and John Giroux, both members of the Cincinnati Right to Life. Giroux spoke during the Ohio Ballot Board meeting.
“If this is about one issue, this amendment is about abortion, and that’s plain and simple,” Giroux told the board. “They want to advance abortion in our state constitution.”
In the lawsuit, Hartman argues there was “absolutely no discussion or debate whatsoever” by the members of the board, other than Gavarone’s comments.
Parties challenging the decision say the ballot board’s action, or lack thereof, “constitutes an abuse of discretion and/or an act in clear disregard of applicable legal provisions.”
The Ohio Supreme Court has not decided whether or not they will accept the lawsuit for review.
Pro-abortion rights groups are facing a July 5 deadline to gather signatures in support of placing the petition on the ballot in November. That deadline might also lie in the shadow of an August special election now, with Senate President Matt Huffman expressing interest in placing a measure on the ballot that month to increase the threshold needed to amend the constitution by changing it to 50% plus one vote to 60%.

Girl group T-ara has transformed into warriors.
On June 21, pictures of Eunjung, Hyomin, and Ji Yeon shooting a music video for their new song “Day By Day” were released online. A picture of Dani, the 9th member of T-ara, and Hyomin was released previously but the pictures of Ji Yeon and Eunjung have never been released before.
The 20 minute SF music video is directed by Cha Eun Taek. It is about a future city in 2330 and group members have transformed themselves unconventionally for the music video.
Ji Yeon went blond and Eunjung went black for the music video. Hyomin also went red and showed off her charismatic charms.
The three members are wearing unique costumes and holding long swords while fighting.
There are no cute and familiar girls but there are powerful and strong girls.
T-ara will release their song “Day By Day” on July 3. Ah Reum, the 8th member of the group, will join the group too. Dani, who appeared in the music video, will join the group later this year.

Objective. To assess the potential contribution of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) to organizational learning for patient safety improvement.
Principal Findings. Patient safety improvement requires organizational learning at the system level, which entails changes in organizational routines that cut across divisions, professions, and levels of hierarchy. This learning depends on data that are varied along a number of dimensions, including structure-process-outcome and from granular to high-level; and it depends on integration of those varied data. PSIs are inexpensive, easy to use, less subject to bias than some other sources of patient safety data, and they provide reliable estimates of rates of preventable adverse events.
Conclusions. From an organizational learning perspective, PSIs have both limitations and potential contributions as sources of patient safety data. While they are not detailed or timely enough when used alone, their simplicity and reliability make them valuable as a higher-level safety performance measure. They offer one means for coordination and integration of patient safety data and activity within and across organizations.


The report that the Leopoldville Government has accepted the Western suggestion to negotiate a compromise with the pro-Lumumba Government in Stanleyville must be viewed with more caution than optimism. For, it is not all that simple to get these two bitterly antagonistic Governments together for a conference. Quite apart from the fact that there is no area of agreement between them and, therefore, no basis for negotiations, the foremost question that needs to be settled is, exactly who represents the Leopoldville Government . In Western and UN eyes, President Kasavubu does. But the West also recognises Colonel Mobutu as the grey eminence behind Mr. Kasavubu. And the Colonel is threatening to queer the pitch of Mr. Kasavubu. While Mr. Kasavubu is all for acting through his Cabinet, the Colonel is against anything that might clip the authority of his College of Commissioners. He is not willing to agree to any compromise that would affect the position of his Commissioners. The Colonel also declared that unless Mr. Joseph Ileo (whom Mr. Kasavubu named Premier after “sacking” Mr. Patrice Lumumba) came to terms with College of Commissioners, he would release Mr. Lumumba and create further confusion.
And at the same time it must be noted that there can be no compromise talks between the Leopoldville and the pro-Lumumba Stanleyville Government without the active co-operation of Mr. Lumumba himself. If the West is really serious about a conference and a compromise between Leopoldville and Stanleyville, it must establish its bona fides with Stanleyville by securing the release of Mr. Lumumba. The Western idea of compromise is evidently an afterthought, motivated by the fact that the pro-Lumumba factions in Stanleyville and elsewhere are not going to take things lying down. The Stanleyville Government, headed by Acting Premier Antoine Gizenga, is something to reckon with. It has been recognised as the “legitimate Government of the Congo” by Mr. Khrushchev and several African countries. It will not be long before aid flows into Stanleyville from those very powers whom the West sought to isolate from the Congo. The United Arab Republic, Ghana, Guinea and other like- minded African nations are also slated to meet in Rabat next week to devise ways of giving direct military aid to Stanleyville. Thus, it is clear that the object of the compromise talks suggested by the West is to eliminate the possibility of the “internationalisation” of the conflict between Leopoldville and Stanleyville. “Internationalisation” of that conflict is bound to wreck the United Nations and possibly spark off a world war. While one may fairly expect foreign supporters of Stanleyville to act with restraint, it is to be hoped that the West and the UN Secretary-General, who will be visiting Leopoldville next week, will strive, for their part, to make the proposals for compromise talks attractive to Stanleyville. There is no doubt that Stanleyville will ask for what the West and its Congolese protégés will consider to be a very high price: a return to the democratic system. But that price must be paid without any further resort to blackmail if peace is desired and not merely a stalemate.

@wakaPAK : sure it did not end in 3 days...........Graeme Smith wanted to bat so he could try to get to his 100 in his 100th test otherwise 2.5 days were enough to slaughter Pakistani batting second time ...would have have score 149 at most instead of 49 in second innings
@PakoP: You really have a very short memory,ok let me help you,please check this..
ahahahahaha nice one, Satish!
It didn't end in 'almost' 3 days, they took it to day 4, give them credit for that..
this CARTOON do not make sense ... !!!
Yeah. Some fight, and that's it. The second and third test might go into fifth day but the outcome will remain the same.
Pakistan should test Abdur Rehman insteed of Saeed Ajmal in next practice match against Western Province Invitation XI, he is really thinking bowler.
I agree with you Demone because i notice Steyn and Philander are only bowling in line and length and doing out swing balls they can't swing ball inside, and as after seeing there 2nd innings efforts i am sure Pakistan gonna show some fight.
Pakistan need left hand betters to disturb SA bowling. am i right?
Poor Pakistan....will need some great effort from the batsmen to perform well against SA bowlers especially Dale Steyn.

WASHINGTON (7/23/12)--The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) has warned that the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) could soon step up its efforts to review credit union compliance with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA).
The U.S. Government Accountability Office in a report issued last week recommended that the NCUA and other federal financial regulators "conduct more extensive loan file testing for SCRA compliance."
To determine the frequency of SCRA compliance examinations, the GAO selected a random sample of 160 depository institutions, including credit unions, and reviewed their own examination files. The GAO's sample included only institutions that hold mortgages in their loan portfolios and service those loans themselves, or institutions that service mortgages for other institutions.
Federal regulators' oversight of SCRA compliance has been limited, the GAO found. The GAO noted that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve all examined higher percentages of institutions for SCRA compliance than did NCUA.
Overall, the GAO report estimated that federal financial regulators only examined 48% of the financial institutions they oversee for SCRA compliance between 2007 and 2011. And, the GAO added, around half of these examinations featured loan file reviews. The GAO also noted that these loan reviews only featured examinations of loans that the financial institution identified as involving servicemembers.
Independently selecting a statistical sample of loan files would have provided greater assurance of SCRA compliance, the GAO said.
The GAO report recommended that "regulators and other agencies that oversee mortgage activities should also explore opportunities for information sharing on SCRA compliance oversight."
The SCRA protects active duty members of the military from civil claims and default judgments.
Legislation that would make it easier for active-duty military personnel to claim SCRA protections, and extend foreclosure protections offered under the SCRA to the surviving sponsors of military members, was introduced earlier this year by Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.). The bill, known as the Servicemember Housing Protection Act (S. 3179), has been referred to the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs. Similar legislation has also been introduced in the U.S. House.

No compromise with fair polls: CEC
Chief Election Commission KM Nurul Huda says that he would not compromise with anyone for the sake of arranging the next general election in a democratic manner.
“We are determined to arrange the upcoming national polls in line with democratic norms and electoral code of conduct. We will not compromise with anyone in any circumstances,” Huda expressed his boldness while addressing a function at Mymensingh Sadar this noon.
The CEC underscored the need for collective efforts from all walks of life to hold the next general election in a free, fair and inclusive manner.
“Election Commission cannot arrange a successful election alone. We will be able to do so if collective cooperation from all quarters is given to us,” he added.
The CEC went there to inaugurate a voter list updating campaign held at Tarique Memorial Auditorium at the Sadar Upazila.
He also called upon the grassroots level officials engaged in voter list updating activities to carry out their duties sincerely and honestly so that they can prepare an accurate voter list ahead of the 11th parliamentary election.
“We will not accept any mistake or negligence in preparing an accurate and acceptable voter list. We will take tough action if anyone’s negligence is found in this regard,” the CEC warned.
