The Relationship Between Pathological Gambling and Sensation Seeking: The Role of Subscale Scores
- 329 Downloads
Research investigating the relationship between gambling and sensation seeking has yet to establish conclusively whether pathological gamblers (PGs) are more or less sensation seeking than nonpathological gamblers (NPGs). Sensation seeking is usually measured with the Zuckerman et al. (J Consult Clin Psychol 46:139–149, 1978) SS Scale form V (SSS-V). Whereas previous studies relied on the SSS-V total score, the current study uses two samples to demonstrate the importance of the SSS-V subscales, which include Thrill and Adventure Seeking (TA), Experience Seeking (ES), Disinhibition (DS), and Boredom Susceptibility (BS). In two samples, strong intrascale correlations between DS and BS, and between TA and ES, suggest that certain subscales reflect similar underlying characteristics. In both samples PGs displayed higher scores than NPGs on the DS and BS subscales, with mean differences in Sample 2 reaching significant levels for both DS and BS. Results support the notion that the SSS-V can be divided into concepts reflecting actual behavior, based on the DS and BS subscales, and hypothetical behavior, based on the TA and ES subscales. Furthermore, PGs appear to have a preference for the more behavioral subscales while NPGs show a preference for the more hypothetical subscales. Reasons for the subscale divisions and preferences are discussed.

At the start of 2018, the estimated cost of upgrading and improving five University of Arizona athletic facilities came in at roughly $66 million, approved by the Arizona Board of Regents back in September.
"The first shot out of the box that we want to make sure that people recognize is that we're doing things that directly benefit the student," said Steve Kozachik, associate director of athletics at the University of Arizona.
The east side of the football stadium, where the student section is located, is receiving upgraded seats, concessions and restrooms.
Sancet Field, which once housed the UA's men's baseball team before moving to Hi-Corbett, will be demolished and replaced with a multi-use 100-yard indoor facility for athletics and tailgates.
The Hillenbrand pools, where the swim team practices and competes, will also be gutted and completely revamped, extending what was once a 50-meter pool to 70 meters.
The two other projects include adding shade structures, new seating and dugouts for the softball stadium as well as locker-room updates in McKale Center for tennis, golf, track and field.

Susan joined Dover Court from Coombe Girls’ School in Kingston Upon Thames, UK, having taught English there for 6 years. Within this community Susan enjoyed a variety of roles such Deputy Head of Year, House Coordinator, and also enjoyed writing and directing the 6th Form Panto every year. This was particularly rewarding for her as she is passionate about performance and awakening the creativity of her students.
Susan is a keen traveller and has always dreamed of continuing her teaching in an international setting. Prior to her career in education Susan was a successful HR Manager working within the professional services sector. However, she happily swapped the corporate lifestyle for the classroom, completing a Secondary English PGCE in April 2012 through the School Direct route at Newman University, Birmingham.
Susan’s studies were perfect for her as her experience of analysing and interpreting meaning in film and plays has been easily transferable when teaching English. Her business background has also enabled her to support older students with career skills such as CV writing, UCAS applications and interview practice.
Outside school, Susan enjoys travelling and is a keen runner. She also loves to sing and was part of a choir in the UK performing in numerous shows (including a TV advert!). However, she prefers singing in a group rather than solo as in her case she believes that enthusiasm counts for more than skill!

Ford Street, 2019
32pp., pbk., RRP $A16.99
Decades of research have shown that children respond to the rhythm, rhyme and repetition of their native language as the first steps in learning to talk and later to read. The words can be utter nonsense or hold little meaning as the poems of Spike Milligan and traditional nursery rhymes have proven by their endurance because it is the cadence and expression that captures the ear.
Thus, poems are important in children’s early literacy development and so a new book with a range of poems that capture both the ear and the imagination is a delightful addition to this genre. from the mysterious yumbie to the elusive moonfish to the pet flea who eats 100 meals a day (“it’s my blood but that’s okay) to the angry old lady of 93 who is on Facebook and learning karate, Laing spans the spectrum of the topics in his imagination, providing a rhythmic experience that has broad appeal and reinforces why our language should be predominantly spoken aloud.
Featuring eye-catching and fresh art by some of Australia’s best known illustrators including Shaun Tan, Leigh Hobbs, Judy Watson, Marjory Gardner, Mitch Vane and Anna Pignataro, there is something in here for everyone, young and not-so-young that will create or renew the fascination with language and how we can manipulate it.
If your students are tired of the sterilised, contrived texts that they are supposed to engage them and engender a love of reading, share these poems with them and watch the joy return.

The Normalisation Committee oragnised tournament is set to commence this weekend, March 30 and 31. Clubs in Ghana finally have something to laugh about after the special competition to keep them busy was launched in Accra on Monday.
The logo comprises of red which means Protection and Guidance, yellow which means Loyalty and Success, green which means Renewal and Growth and white which means Purity and Peace.
64 Ghana Premier League and Division One League clubs are due to participate in the competition but, two clubs – top tier side Wa All Stars and lower division outfit New Edubiase United – are yet to confirm their participation.
President of the NC Dr. Kofi Amoah announced the participation fees to be paid to players and the prize money for each stage of the tournament.
Dr. Amoah also dsclosed that the competition will be “used to test the reforms that will be brought on board as well as the rapid adjudication of cases”.
The competition is to revive domestic football competition in Ghana after a 9-month hiatus since the Anas Number 12 exposè.
Winner of the first tier of the competition will represent Ghana at the next CAF Champions league competition whiles the winner of the knock out stage will represent Ghana in the next confederation cup competition.

The main aims of this project are:
a) to evolve the necessary methodology for Part 2 of EN 1093 (Tracer Method);
b) to improve the emission rate measurements for all emitted particles especially the larger ones which dominate the inhalable fraction using the Test Bench Method as specified in Part 3 of EN 1093;
c) to evaluate the reproducibility of the improved methods by means of preliminary tests using firstly a reference pollutant source, and secondly a simple machine (a cutting machine for aerosols; a cleaning machine for gases and vapours).
TEST BENCH METHOD:
Suitable test rigs were commissioned and tested in 5 partner laboratories, with particular attention being paid to the mixing of pollutant in the measurement duct. A suitable reference dust source chosen and validated. The effect of a range of experimental parameters on the measured emission rate was investigated, and it was found that the air velocity in the cabin was the major source of bias in the emission rate results. Tests on the efficiency of the test cabin for measuring the emission rates of particles from the reference dust source were carried out in 7 laboratories. The efficiency was found to be dependent upon the size of the emitted particles, falling to 45 % for particles of mass median aerodynamic diameter (mmad) 75 µm. This efficiency was increased to 75 % by including the particles deposited on the internal walls of the test bench. Overall reproducibility was found to be 10%. Measurements of emission rate from a real simple circular saw machine cutting three different materials gave variabilities between 14 and 17 % when cutting three different materials.. Biases were dependent upon the materials being cut ranging from 0 to 40%. These were reduced to <10 % when particle wall losses were included. A list of improvements for EN-1093-3 was produced based on the findings from the work, for submission to CEN/TC114/WG15.
TRACER GAS METHOD:
Suitable test rooms and gas monitoring equipment were commissioned and validated in 3 partner laboratories. Two reference gas sources were produced and validated and the choice and most suitable method of injection of tracer gas were made. The location of the sampling points were chosen from work with the reference gas sources, and a draft protocol produced. The accuracy of the method was investigated from measurements of the emission rate of solvent from a parts cleaning machine. The overall variability in the results was 11 % with the mean bias in the range -10 to +5 %. A draft protocol for EN 1093-2 was produced for submission to CEN/TC114/WG15. The use of tracer gas to predict the emission rates of particles showed very limited success, with biases > 50% for particles of mmad of 6 µm. The injection of tracer gas into the test bench was shown to give equivalent results to the those obtained from dust sampling ,and this led to the option for EN 1093-3 of using the tracer gas technique and sampling at just one central point. The feasibility of using tracer particles for predicting the emission rates of particles from machines was studied. The use of size graded batches of a pure fluorescent material was found to show promise, with preliminary results giving biases < 20 % for particles as large as 105 µm mmad.
This project involves a number of pilot studies to resolve technical difficulties with two of the test methods recommended in European B-Standard EN 1093 "Safety of machinery - Evaluation of the emission of airborne hazardous substances". This standard includes separate test methods for assessing both the emission of pollutants from machines and the performance of the pollution control systems integrated into machines. In Part 2 (Tracer Method), further development of the methodology is required.In Part 3 (Test Bench Method), doubt has been expressed about the validity and accuracy of the recommended method, especially for particulate pollutants.
There are two main objectives of this project.1) To resolve the technical difficulties of the method for the measurement of the emission rate as specified Part 3, and to evolve the necessary methodology for Part 2.2) To evaluate the reproducibility of the improved methods by means of preliminary tests using firstly, a reference pollutant source, and secondly a simple machine(cutting machine for aerosols, gluing machine for gases and vapours).
Work programme: To meet these objectives the following work programme will be carried out:1) development of reference pollutant sources (both dust and gas) for use in the tests;2) investigation of the parameters which affect the results of the both the existing Test Bench method and the proposed Tracer Gas method;3) use the results from 2) to revise and improve the protocols of both methods;4) carry out preliminary tests of revised protocol using reference pollutant source to determine there reducibility of the two methods;5) carry out preliminary tests with simple cutting and gluing machines to highlight any problems with the methods associated with the operation of machines, and to provide estimates of the accuracy of the final methods.
State of progress The necessary equipment has been procured and commissioned and a statistically sound experimental protocol has been produced. For the Test Bench part of the project, existing test cabins and an existing wind tunnel have been modified for the project. The airflow characteristics of all facilities have been evaluated. Tracer gas concentrations were very non-uniform; various methods of introducing mixing into the cabin have been tried. A reference dust source has been chosen, and comparisons were made to ensure consistency between the laboratories. For the Tracer Gas part of the project, test rooms suitable for the programme of experiments were selected and their ventilation characteristics (air exchange efficiency, ventilation efficiency, local "age" of air) have been determined. Two reference gas sources (a point source and a planar source) have been developed and tested. For both parts of the project, the parameters that arethought to effect the emission rate measurements are now being investigated.

Closing the loop on plastic packaging
1 minute read
Head of Plastics and Recycling
Latest articles by AndrewView Andrew Brown's full profile
The plastic packaging industry finds itself as the poster child of unsustainable consumption. After decades of rapid growth – powered by plastic’s ability to cost-effectively protect and preserve products – the industry is now confronted at every turn by images of beaches clogged by its detritus.
So, can higher rates of recycling turn the tide of plastic waste? What role will product redesign play? And what does it all mean for industry growth? We explored the road ahead in our Circular plastic packaging report. Fill in the form for a complimentary extract, and read on for an introduction.
The push for a recycling ramp-up has begun
To their credit, many of the sector’s biggest brands have recognised the scale of the challenge, with some now pushing for a legally binding UN treaty on plastic pollution. Change is underway, but it needs to accelerate.
One of the key levers the industry is banking on to turn the tide on plastic waste is a significant ramp up in the use of recycled materials. By imbuing post-use plastics with value, recycling can help to direct plastic into new applications and out of the environment. By displacing virgin materials, recycled materials can leave fossil fuels unused and lower the value chain’s carbon footprint.
Can recycled material supply match plastics demand?
The question facing the industry is whether the availability of recycled materials can grow to meet demand, given the comparatively low levels of recycling today.
Mechanical recycling is responsible for more than 96% of all plastic packaging recycling at the moment. However, only 15% of this waste makes its way back into the packaging sector – and this is almost exclusively PET bottles. The rest is downcycled into other applications. We expect closed loop recycling to grow nearly twice as fast as open loop routes to 2040 – in a market that is growing faster than virgin plastic markets – but this is not enough to meet latent demand for recycled materials.
Chemical recycling could play an important role in tackling the plastic waste challenge
Chemical recycling technologies are stirring interest, thanks to their potential to make a wider selection of polymer and application types recyclable. While the technologies are still commercially nascent, 2020 and 2021 saw significant new announcements of projects that will become operational pre-2025. This investment feeds into a CAGR of more than 15% for chemically recycled plastic packaging up to 2040.
These routes in combination will see the amount of circular feedstock rise sharply, but the impact will not be felt uniformly across the world. Europe will remain the region with the highest recycling rate in 2040, with the stringent regulatory targets in the region driving recycling rates over 50% by the end of the forecast. North America will see the largest increase, with an increase of around 20 percentage points as consumer brands drive up the comparatively low recycling in the region today.
Recycling alone isn’t enough – plastic packaging redesign will also be key
While these trends suggest that the recycling industry is set to undergo a period of booming demand, this in itself will not be enough to ensure that plastic packaging reduces its negative impacts on the environment. Indeed, recycling is only one strand of the drive to a more circular economy. The industry must also focus its attention on other dimensions, such as the need to redesign packaging from the ground up to deliver the sustainable products their customers want.
We explored the future of the industry in detail in our recent Circular plastic packaging report. Fill in the form at the top of the page for a complimentary extract.

Confirming his ex-wife’s death in a post on his platform Truth Social, Mr Trump wrote: “I am very saddened to inform all those who loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City died”.
The former president described her as “a wonderful, beautiful and amazing woman who lived an amazing and inspiring life” and said her “pride and joy” were the three children she had with the former real estate mogul: Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump.
“She was as proud of her as we were all so proud of her,” he wrote. “Rest in peace, Ivana!”
In a statement, Ms. Trump’s children announced the death of their “beloved mother” with “deep sadness.”
“Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and a caring mother and friend,” they wrote, adding that she was “a survivor” who “fleed Communism and embraced this country”.
“She taught her children courage and toughness, compassion and determination. She will be greatly missed by her mother, three children and ten grandchildren,” they wrote.
Born Ivana Zelníčková in 1949 in what was then Czechoslovakia, she left the then-communist country in 1971 after marrying an Austrian ski instructor, whom she divorced a year later after gaining Austrian citizenship, and eventually set out on the Moved to California, then to New York, where she lived and earned a living as a model.
She met the future president in New York City in 1976, and the couple married in April 1977. Their first child, Donald Trump Jr., was born just over eight months later. Their daughter, whose full name is also Ivana Trump (Ivanka is a diminutive of the name, literally “little Ivana”), was born in 1981, and their third child, Eric Trump, followed three years later.
The couple were mainstays of New York popular culture in the 1980s, but they divorced by the end of the decade after his affair with his future second wife – Marla Maples – became public. The divorce was controversial and provided headline fodder for months. During the divorce proceedings, Ms. Trump testified on her husband’s affidavit of rape. She later told the author of a book about her husband that she “felt hurt” by her ex-husband, but a statement from Mr Trump’s lawyers said she did not want her words to be “literally or criminally interpreted”.
Corresponding The New York Times, The 1992 divorce settlement between Ivanka and Donald Trump granted her a $14 million payment, a mansion in Connecticut, an apartment in the Upper East Side Co-op known as Trump Plaza, and a month a year in Mr .Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida.
Ms. Trump married and divorced twice more — in 1995, to an Italian businessman whom she divorced two years later, and in 2008, to an Italian actor more than two decades her junior, in a ceremony in Mar-a -Lago her former sister-in-law, then-Third Circuit Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, presided. This marriage ended less than a year later.
However, she remained friends with her first husband. According to that New York Post, She claimed to have spoken to him “before and after” his campaign appearances. She told later post that her ex-husband offered her the post of ambassador to the Czech Republic after becoming President, but she declined. And in 2017, she told ABC News in an interview that she spoke to the then-president every two weeks and had a “direct number” for him at the White House.
She told ABC she “didn’t really want to call” her husband there because his third wife, Melanie TrumpShe lived there too.
“I don’t want to incite any kind of jealousy or anything because I’m basically Trump’s first wife,” she said. “I am First Lady”.

One of our favourite featured groups take the main stage today. Jordan and Wesley. The British R&B Gospel duo have made noise with their appearances on television and with their amazing sound blessing and touching millions with their fine performance ability and power. As seen on TV shows Michael McIntyre 's Big Show, The Voice and more the pair have been praised by various stations and platforms such as Hype Magazine. A Step Fwd and continue to as we caught up with the group to chat about humble beginnings, their inspirations, their new music this year and more.
1. Welcome John and Wesley, it’s nice to have you together, your music is supreme. Could you share how the duo began?
Jordan: Thank you for having us and thank you for those kind words, we appreciate it!
The duo began way back in the day from when we were young. Growing up we
were constantly around music, whether it be at church, in the car or at home -
it was there. But we only officially sang together when we were 13 and 10 years
old for our Dad’s appreciation service. It was then due to the feedback we
received that we thought maybe this is something we could do/pursue.
2. You’ve both come a long way, from humble beginnings till now. Tell us, who were some of the artists or groups you grew up listening to ?
Wesley: What a question. Some of the artists we grew up listening to were the likes of
Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond, Mary Mary, CeCe Winans, Yolanda Adams,
Grace Thrillers, Hillsongs, Kurt Carr, Hezekiah Walker etc. We grew up in a
Christian household, so gospel was the way forward lol. As we got older we
discovered the likes of Tank, Usher, Chris Brown, Brandy, Jasmine Sullivan, Beyoncé, Whitney, MJ and more.
3. On your way to the top you’ve released songs such as Hold On, Christmas and showcasing a vibrant and powerful type of ministry. How has that journey been making music together?
Jordan: The journey making music together has been a good one. We’re both on the
same wavelength music wise and when it comes to singing, so with regards to
creativity ideas and trying different things vocally, we can bounce off each
other etc. I (Jordan) would say Wesley’s more of a perfectionist then I am
cause I feel that some things are that deep lol, but it helps keep you sharp and
betters the overall performance or recording. We both recognise that we’re
not the best singers out there to ever do it, but with the gift that God has given
us, we’ll do it to the best of our ability. #ProgressionNotPerfection
4. Now you two appeared on television shows such as The Voice in 2021. How
was that experience being on the shon ow and performing in front of millions nationwide?
WESLEY: Appearing on The Voice UK 2021 was an amazing experience especially
because it took place during Covid where a lot of shows were not running.
We felt we got the opportunity to showcase our talent in an authentic way which
took us right up to the semi finals. We had a lot of fun working with other
contestants, staff and vocal coaches behind the scenes and most importantly
Olly Murs who is a genuinely nice person.
5. With your view of your sound, what do you hope people gain / feel from
listening to your music?
WESLEY: We aim to create music that is empowering, inspirational, reflective and
encouraging to whoever is listening because this is what music does for us.
With our sound stemming from Gospel and RnB, we hope the listener enjoys
the melodies, vibes and the groves, but most importantly the message
contained within our music which is one of faith and hope in Jesus Christ.
6. What’s next from you guys? Are any records for the lively summer season coming up or LIVE shows this half of 2023?
JORDAN: We hope to release more music this year, so yes, hopefully we will have some
music for the summer so keep an eye for that on our socials (@jwmusiq). If
any festivals are willing to have us as part of their production, we would be

Major issues in Macon-Bibb County’s Information Technology Department that caused delayed child support checks and a daylong phone outage at the county jail came to light at a Tuesday commission meeting.
A group of elected officials and constitutional officers voiced their concerns to the Macon-Bibb County Commission about the department’s technology issues as IT deals with a shortage of employees and ongoing staff turnover, partially due to pay.
There are currently 17 IT employees and nine vacant positions. The plan is to fill the vacant slots in the coming weeks. Commissioners also asked that the county contract with an outside firm until the department is able to deal with the backlog.
The peak number of Macon-Bibb IT employees since consolidation was 24 in 2015, according to Julie Moore, assistant to the county manager for budget and strategic planning.
The IT department has been responsible for handling a significant technology overhaul, but the latest issues need to be addressed, Mayor Robert Reichert said.
“The IT director has already said we’re in the process of trying to hire replacement individuals for the ones we lost,” he said. “We’re not sitting up here asleep at the switch. We’re working, but this isn’t something you can snap your fingers and say in three weeks we’re going to have a solution.”
There’s been a snowball effect after some IT employees left during last year’s budget debates, said Brett Lavender, chief information officer for the IT Department.
“When we started talking about furloughs, budget cuts, people left because the market for IT professionals is real strong,” he said.
Having those positions remain unfilled, has led to the workload growing. Another area of concern for the county is compensation, County Manager Keith Moffett said.
There was also a countywide hiring freeze plan that’s impacted how quickly some IT positions could be filled.
Some commissioners questioned Tuesday how Reichert’s administration let the technology problems get so bad.
Commissioner Joe Allen said it’s imperative the county does whatever it can to have enough IT resources.
“Our backbone is the IT department,” he said. “If IT fails, we all fail because we can’t get nothing done.”
Plethora of IT problems
Macon Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge Philip T. Raymond III recapped some of the current technology shortcomings and others that could crop up.
He was joined at Tuesday’s meeting by Probate Court Judge Sarah Harris, State Court Judge Jeff Hanson, Tax Commissioner Wade McCord and other officials.
“We’re here to ask the commission’s unfettered support for whatever resources they need to keep all of the county’s IT resources running and running well,” Raymond said.
For nearly two weeks the Superior Court Clerk’s Office was unable to issue child support payments to parents.
Judges and court clerks rely on an electronic filing system for civil cases, but problems can arise with reviewing cases because of unreliable internet, Raymond said.
There are also family violence orders that have to be sent electronically to law enforcement agencies, as well as, marriage licenses that are now filed digitally. And there are new printers, scanners and computers sitting idle for weeks or months until IT can get them ready to use, Raymond added.
On one day earlier this month, the jail’s phone system stopped working and the Superior Court Clerk’s Office was told there were not enough resources in IT to send out some jury subpoenas, he said.
“If we can’t send out those jury summons, obviously we can’t perform our duties,” Raymond said. “If the tax commissioner can’t get tax bills out, if he can’t process tags, receipts and things as people come in then the county cannot collect that revenue. If Judge Harris’ computer fails then she can’t issue a marriage license.”

The main street in downtown Kitchener, Ontario -- King Street -- was recently redesigned to provide for flexible uses. I took this photo in 2010 during reconstruction. Notice how the entire street width is level, from the buildings to sidewalks to auto space.
The curb line is still visually present to guide users during times when cars are permitted (and for truck deliveries), but the design allows the city to maximize use of the street for different needs. At most times it is just a big pedestrian space, but parts of the streetscape are used for cafe patio seating, special events, and even temporary street furniture (tables, chairs, benches).
Kitchener also has a beautiful City Hall building and plaza that can be better appreciated without cars in the way.

NLC begins work on Gilgit-Shandur road
ISLAMABAD: The National Logistics Cell (NLC) has started work on one of the most important road projects in the northern regions of Pakistan which would serve as an alternative to the strategic Karakoram Highway in addition to linking the pristine valleys of the region.
The CPEC standard route will prove to be a game-changer for Pakistan’s growing tourism industry, bringing a marked improvement in the standard of living for the people of Gilgit-Baltistan.
NLC will construct a 76 kilometer stretch of the Gilgit – Shandur road in a challenging environment including the area’s inaccessibility, high altitude, inhospitable weather conditions and steep mountain formations.
The NLC has already mobilized machinery, plant and equipment in addition to establishing a camp with the necessary modern engineering facilities.
Work began at the Shandur end of the project with the aim of easing tourists who thronged the area during the annual festival.
What makes the project a daunting engineering task is the short weather window to undertake the construction work.
The threat of landslides and boulders weighs heavily during construction work, along with heavy snowfall and heavy rain.
Located over 12,500 feet above sea level, the weather opens up for just four months a year.
The road has been upgraded from a provincial highway to a national highway, which will put these remote valleys on par with other developed areas of Gilgit-Baltistan. Travel time between Gilgit and Shandur Valley will be reduced from 7 hours to just 4 hours.

Confessions of a Dissociative Identity Disorder Writer
I have dissociative identity disorder (DID), and since I write about DID, it may seem like living and functioning with this disorder is possible. But is that the reality? Dissociative identity disorder is a complex disorder. There are dozens of symptoms for DID and no concrete cure. This disorder affects all aspects of your life. And even though I'm a DID writer who seems to have it together when it comes to my disorder, I have a confession to make.
My Name Is Crystalie, and I Have Dissociative Identity Disorder
When I introduce myself to new people, I don't tell them that I have DID. Most times, people can tell that something is off with me, but they can't pinpoint exactly what it is. It takes me a while to open up and tell people about my life with DID. Even then, most of the time, I say I have DID and leave it at that. I don't tell them how easy or hard my life is. I don't tell them much of anything.
I Write About DID But Must Confess
There are the people I meet who know me from my writing about DID here at HealthyPlace. They already know I have DID because they've read about me, my history and my experiences. They reach out to me for support. They share their struggles with me. They look to me as a source of hope.
When I started writing Dissociative Living over two years ago, I intended to write about DID from both educational and real-life perspectives. I have a background in psychology. I also have the experience of living with this disorder every day, something that most professionals don't have. I wanted to provide a view of dissociative identity disorder that textbooks lack. I wanted to write about what life really feels like with DID.
The Reality of My Life with DID
Two weeks ago, I found myself sitting in a room in my intensive outpatient program, processing the news that I was going to be hospitalized later that day. I had been struggling for months. My system was a mess. Parts of me wanted to die, and I was too tired to fight to live. I let dissociation rule my life; instead of trying to control it, I denied dissociation.
As I waited for the ambulance to come and transport me to the hospital, I opened up about my DID with the woman that was waiting with me. She asked me questions; I answered. I shared my writing here with her. I trusted her enough to share that side of me.
She read through some of my work, and then she asked me a question that has stuck with me ever since: "Why don't you take your own advice?"
Writing About DID Doesn't Mean I'm Cured or Managing Better
I never realized it before, or maybe I did and chose to ignore it. I write a lot about how to cope with DID symptoms, about how important it is to reach out for support, to be honest in therapy, and to work with your system. And here I was, on my way to inpatient hospitalization because I had been doing the exact opposite of what I've been writing about.
I confess. I'm a bit of a mess. I'm also a bit stubborn. My life with DID is difficult. Sometimes it feels impossible. I don't know what I'm doing sometimes. I don't know everything. The things I do know, I don't put into practice.
I've been believing that there is hope for others, but no hope for me. That's not true. I'm going to start taking my own advice.
My name is Crystalie, and I'm struggling with my DID.
Matulewicz, C. (2017, December 14). Confessions of a Dissociative Identity Disorder Writer, HealthyPlace. Retrieved on 2019, October 16 from https://www.healthyplace.com/blogs/dissociativeliving/2017/12/confessions-of-a-dissociative-identity-disorder-writer

I was hospitalized so I could have my medications safely adjusted. Sometimes that’s needed for people with any mental illness.
As far as what it’s like...to be simple and short, it’s interesting. There’s definitely pros and cons, but I’ve learned to cope with the good and the bad.

Martyred & injured women of Model Town tragedy await justice: PAT Women Wing
Addressing a consultative meeting in the central secretariat, PAT Women Wing President Mrs. Razia Naveed has said that martyred and injured daughters of Model town tragedy await justice for last seven months. She said that if the Punjab Chief Minister considers torture on women as grave crime, then he should not protect the police officers and officials who committed violence on PAT women and bring them to justice for these atrocities. She asked him to prove through action that he considers every woman of Punjab as mother, daughter and sister and is serious in getting justice for them.
Ms. Razia Naveed said that the PAT women braved the state terrorism and brutality with exemplary courage. She said that we have not forgotten the blood of our brothers and sisters and the injuries so caused are alive in our hearts. She said that women of PAT are waiting for the orders of their leader and the day he announced the start of the movement to get justice, we would be on the roads against oppressive rulers within no time. She said that we are even more resolute than before as Dr Qadri never gave a call for the long march for worldly gains. She said that ending of corrupt and exploitative system is our destination for which we are willing to render every sacrifice.
The PAT Women Wing President further said that a woman minister of his cabinet has already put her protest on record regarding discrimination of the Punjab government. She revealed in her letter that her ministry assiduously prepared five bills aimed at protecting women rights but they have been hanging fire in the files of the Cabinet and concerned standing committees for a long time. She said that the Punjab Chief Minister has spent seven years in power on the basis of hollow claims and slogans but reminded that God metes out punishment in an invisible manner, adding that one day he would have to answer for all of his actions and oppressions before the people. She said that not long ago the privileged son of the Chief Minister not only tortured a woman named Ayesha Ahad himself but also used police for the same purpose. She said that had the Chief Minister taken steps for dispensation of justice to the woman, scores of them have been spared discrimination and oppression of men.


text: - It has long been recognized that insults to the cerebral cortex, such as trauma, ischaemia or infections, may result in the development of epilepsy, one of the most common neurological disorders. Human and animal studies have suggested that perturbations in neurovascular integrity and breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) lead to neuronal hypersynchronization and epileptiform activity, but the mechanisms underlying these processes are not known. In this study, we reveal a novel mechanism for epileptogenesis in the injured brain. We used focal neocortical, long-lasting BBB disruption or direct exposure to serum albumin in rats (51 and 13 animals, respectively, and 26 controls) as well as albumin exposure in brain slices in vitro. Most treated slices (72%, n = 189) displayed hypersynchronous propagating epileptiform field potentials when examined 5-49 days after treatment, but only 14% (n = 71) of control slices showed similar responses. We demonstrate that direct brain exposure to serum albumin is associated with albumin uptake into astrocytes, which is mediated by transforming growth factor beta receptors (TGF-betaRs). This uptake is followed by down regulation of inward-rectifying potassium (Kir 4.1) channels in astrocytes, resulting in reduced buffering of extracellular potassium. This, in turn, leads to activity-dependent increased accumulation of extracellular potassium, resulting in facilitated N-methyl-d-aspartate-receptor-mediated neuronal hyperexcitability and eventually epileptiform activity. Blocking TGF-betaR in vivo reduces the likelihood of epileptogenesis in albumin-exposed brains to 29.3% (n = 41 slices, P < 0.05). We propose that the above-described cascade of events following common brain insults leads to brain dysfunction and eventually epilepsy and suggest TGF-betaRs as a possible therapeutic target.

‘How media partnership can expand advertising landscape post COVID-19’
Though the novel coronavirus is disrupting many areas of the digital industry, including advertising spend, many have argued that partnership would be the only way to survival. MARGARET MWANTOK takes a look at the issue.
When The Guardian caught up with Guillaume Coffin, Vice President, Head of Commercial and Business Development Turner France, Africa & Israel, WarnerMedia, Julius Osumah, Managing Partner – Operations and Afolabi Akanji, Managing Partner – Sales of Trending Media Africa who spoke about the recent partnership between the two companies.
For Coffin, “This is undoubtedly a challenging time for any new business activities; however, we have seen ratings, watch time and viewer engagement through social media skyrocketing.”
Recently, WarnerMedia announced it has entered into a strategic partnership with Trending Media Africa (TMA) to further diversify its business streams. The deal will also allow for TMA’s client’s access to advertising solutions on WarnerMedia’s movie channel, TNT, as well as kids’ channels, Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
Julius Osumah, Managing Partner – Operations, Trending Media Africa, said: “Nigeria’s poor economy, especially poor purchasing power by the majority of Nigerian masses is our biggest challenge because if companies do not sell their products, they are very likely to cut down on advertising spend, which will, in turn, affect the ad agencies. Furthermore, there is the problem of a lack of adequate professional practitioners. However, the establishment of the Advertising Practitioners of Nigeria (APCON) as a regulatory body is tackling this problem head-on.”
He said the benefits from this partnership in the next five to 10 years would surely “fuel our growth engine to acquire new clients, increase our revenue and expand geographic reach, to say the least.
While assessing Nigeria’s adoption of high-quality advertising solutions, Coffin noted that the Nigerian advertising market is highly competitive and growing. Brands are looking to raise their voice and stand out from the competition while ensuring key target markets are reached and engaged.
Looking at his organisation’s target audience in Nigeria and why, the head of commercial and business development, Africa, France, French-speaking countries and Israel noted that the wide portfolio WarnerMedia has to offer allows the targeting of a wide and interesting segmentation for TMA clients from families to kids, young adults and adults.
To him, WarnerMedia channel portfolio offers a wide range of content and high-quality production standards that offer advertisers possibilities to connect in a relevant way with their consumers. “At WarnerMedia, innovation and agility are part of our core values, so we are keen to hear and listen to our Nigerian advertisers’ needs to offer and package differentiated advertising solutions through the expertise of TMA,” he offered.
Osumah said the Nigerian market is drawn to quality advertising solutions, which would help achieve all planned goals and objectives. “Total acceptance and seamless adaptation are possible with this partnership; the market is competitive, volatile, and open; so the focus is key to the accurate implementation of channel ideas for useable results.”
Looking at what the two firms stand to gain with the partnership, Coffin said, “Warner Media has been present in Africa for more than 20 years, operating six channels across the continent. The partnership is meant to further diversify and allow TMA clients to access advertising solutions on the Nigerian WarnerMedia channels, including our kids’ channels, Cartoon Network and Boomerang, and our American blockbuster channel, TNT.”
Coffin added, “this partnership would enable Nigerian brands and businesses to reach their consumer clients and secure revenue growth, ultimately adding to the Nigerian economy.”
According to him, his organisation is also open to potential bespoke local projects with local talents through sponsorship solutions, to connect even further with local viewers.
“In other parts of Africa, we have an active presence on the ground through consumer activations, local partnerships, local productions and CSR initiatives. We are planning to run similar activities in Nigeria and build strong brand experiences with our local consumers,” he said.
For Osumah, “apart from paying our taxes, increase in employment opportunities, and Corporate Social Responsibility, there will be skill and time optimisation from anyone that works directly with us, which will involve coaching and training contributing to the development of Nigeria. We also know that our clients and partner agencies will leverage world-class advertising solutions and platforms, great advertising opportunities, wider coverage target audience, and much more channel support.”
The managing partner, operations, said, “this partnership expands the advertising landscape of the Nigerian market, and it brings world-class advertising opportunities and a broader reach to our target audience, clients and agencies.”
Corroborating his opinion, managing partner (Sales) Afolabi Akanji said, “it would help to establish us as experts in our market and, in turn, will build trust with the media industry and audience alike, persuading them to make media investments and associate their brands through TMA. The partnership will benefit the Media Industry as WarnerMedia is now being represented by a professionally trusted company such as TMA.”
Warner Media’s brands target 4 to 8-year-olds (Boomerang), 7-14-year-olds (Cartoon Network) and PG ratings to 16 and overs, as well as the whole family for the TNT brand. “So, in essence, we will be targeting children, mothers, caregivers, decision-makers in the home, lovers of fun, cartoon lovers and American blockbuster lovers,” Akanji retorted.
How sure is he of a marketing success here given that his organisation’s entry is happening at a period of economic and social stress?
Coffin had this to say: “This is undoubtedly a challenging time for any new business activities; however, we have seen ratings watch time and viewer engagement through social media skyrocketing.”
Kids and parents are at home, and one of the primary sources of entertainment is more than ever, TV and media in general. Coffin said, “this context creates opportunities for advertisers to build and connect their brands with their public. However, we are very much aware that all advertisers are under financial pressure during this period. Still we are very much prepared to adapt our packages during this exceptional period.”
With increased migration to digital channels and then Netflix, Coffin is sure of success. He revealed that his organisation is adapting its business strategy to the current media consumption patterns, meeting fans where they could enjoy the content provided.
He stressed, “even though we develop new distribution strategies with on-demand services and streaming platforms, we know linear TV consumption is still the best advertising solution to drive sales in Africa. Being available on DStv and GOtv, we guarantee our advertisers to reach a representative sample of the Nigerian population.”
Interjecting, Osumah admitted that WarnerMedia has excellent content that has been in existence for a long time. This content is available world-wide with millions of viewers that have, over time, trusted the value they are getting and will continue to enjoy new content offered and some classic remixes.
Most often adults don’t watch cartoons in Nigeria. So, there is a reliance on pester power, which some say are overrated. How is his organisation going to navigate this?
Coffin noted: “We conducted a survey with IPSOS this year, which has demonstrated that a large portion of our viewers for the kids’ channels, Cartoon Network and Boomerang, are, in fact, adults and young adults. This indicates that cartoons are an inclusive genre in Africa. Considering the large youth population in Nigeria, and their appetite for storytelling and humour, we believe Cartoon Network and Boomerang are destinations that target many, and that families enjoy watching together.”
In a situation where viewership pattern of the consumers has proven to be different due to the content of these channels, Akanji reasoned that in a situation where there are adults that watched the majority of the kids’ content while growing up, “they would want to relive their memories by watching the classic remixes, all the while sharing these great experiences with their children.”
What are some of the programmes/channels that clients will have access to through the new partnership?
Coffin said, “on our kids’ channels, we have exclusive and beloved original content coming from the best animation studios around the globe, such as Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros Animation Studios, to name a few. This allows us to offer viewers fan favourites, and brand-new content such as Ben 10, Supa Stikas, Dragon Ball Super, the Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry, and Zig and Sharko. On TNT, we offer the best American blockbusters in different genres: from romance to pulse-raising movies as well as horror and comedy. In July, we will launch our first TNT original movies, exclusive content never seen before in Africa, with exciting casts such as Daniel Radcliff, Emma Roberts and Billy Cristal.”
In the next five to 10 years, what benefits do you see this partnership yielding to your organisations and the clients you serve?
On the measures put in place to drive the sustainability of the partnership?
Coffin said: “We are looking forward to regular discussions with TMA on how to best serve their clients and how to build relevant solutions, ensuring that the satisfaction rate and impact is maintained and upheld.”
Akanji said, “as a company, we have come together to set ambitious goals that will propel us to contributing more than money, and as you know, we are young and passionate which is key. We’ve also added more dedicated hands that understand the purpose of our partnership and can achieve amazing results.”

Occasionally all of us discover ourselves in a scenario where we’d like spare parts shortly. We normally have some advance notice after we need a brand new battery. Generally it might be troublesome to begin, or the gorgeous obvious one when you discover your battery lifeless and must charge it up once more. Slightly than overspend for a new battery in a retail institution, you might be far better served by wanting on-line. It is often quick, easy and the gadgets you’re on the lookout for can be shipped to you rapidly. Financial savings on a lot of these situations can add up to a considerable sum of money during the course of your automobiles lifespan.
One of the very first questions it is best to ask yourself is whether you need to purchase a new automotive, or a second hand one. There are lots of factors that affect this determination, beginning in fact with the obtainable budget. Apart from that, variables like appearance and quality of the car, and availability of each the automobile itself and spare elements are necessary things to consider. An summary:
So you should protect your self and your automobile.
Repairs are available many sizes and shapes. A scratch within the paint job, malfunctioning door locks and window glass levers and harm to the mudguard are matters of little implication, and might be repaired in just about no time in any respect. Average repairs embrace denting work, repair of the chassis and the suspension etc. These are a bit more intensive and take longer to complete. More elaborate repairs include engine repairs, clutch and gearbox repairs, and gas-injection system replacement. These would possibly take days to complete, and are often elaborate procedures.
Generally folks might think about low high quality engine elements that price a fraction of the worth of the genuine components but, generally, they could possibly be a waste of time and money as you will need to switch it after a very quick interval with one other one. With Body Kits for BMW installed in your BMW you will be unparalleled and unbeatable by other drivers on the highway with the power to scale back wind considerably as a way to step on the pedals and push the beast to the sting. Such is the facility of Physique Kits for BMW.
The lifeline of a motorcycle is the gasoline system.
Crucial thing for consumers to understand is that it’s sometimes more helpful to spend that bit extra, and get from a reliable provider with a very good popularity, than off some random web site for a all-time low price, even whether it is an OEM half. Individuals are a lot less prone to be conned, and can find yourself with higher service and satisfaction in the long run, when coping with a trust-worthy company.
It isn’t simple to present recommendation to a car enthusiast about automobiles as a result of they’ll know all the pieces that there is to learn about that exact car. However knowledge is limitless so it is worthwhile to reflect on among the tactics for figuring out the automobile components that work with these old automobiles. Quite than operating spherical circles on the lookout for an element that can by no means be found, it is higher to go straight to the heart of the matter.
But there are ways to decrease these costs simply by considering outside of the field. For instance, buying used as a substitute of latest can prevent the money you labored arduous for. Meanwhile, listed below are some basic ideas in buying spare elements for air conditioners: A winch is helpful in case your rig will get stuck in a terrain.

53–61 Gansevoort Street was constructed in 1887, at the time of the widening of Gansevoort Street, during one of the major phases of development of the area, when buildings were constructed for pro-duce and food-related businesses. An extension of Washington Street from Little West 12th Street to West 14th Street, undoubtedly in response to the increase in traffic to the markets, meant these longer and broader streets contributed to the district’s character. For nearly a century, from 1847 to 1942, this property belonged to the promi-nent Goelet family that held exten-sive real estate in Manhattan. The Gansevoort Market Historic District is the only remaining marketplace district aside from Tribeca that served the once-flour-ishing Hudson River commercial waterfront. Gansevoort Street (formerly Great Kill Road, renamed in 1837) and the riverside Fort Gan-sevoort (1812) were named for Revolutionary War General Peter Gansevoort (who died in 1812). The fort had to make way in 1851 for infill and freight yards for the shipping piers. This imposing vernacular-style building, which is largely intact, contributes to the historical-ly-mixed architectural character and varied uses, including mar-ket-related functions, of the Gansevoort Market Historic District. The building further contributes to the visual cohesion of the district through its brick and stone facades, metal canopy, cast-iron storefronts, and the fact that it is one of seven buildings in the district designed by architect Joseph M. Dunn, an established architect in New York by 1872 who remained in practice through at least 1894. Dunn executed a number of commissions for the Goelet family during his career, e. g., 823, 825, 827, and 829 Washington Street (1880), 400 West 14th Street (aka 37–45 Ninth Avenue, 1886), 414 West 14th Street (1887), and this 53–61 Gansevoort Street (1887).
In this 1930’s photo, 53-61 Gansevoort Street had painted horizontal advertising bands for its produce and food-related businesses. Note the railroad tracks on the street paving.
THEN: The Landmarks Preservation Commission designation report for the historic district, dated September 9, 2003, describes the history of the market and the building.

NOW: The residential and industrial area transformed over the years to a marketplace, then as a meatpacking district, and now as a shopping and dining magnet. Down at Washington Street is the hustle and bustle of the Highline, the Whitney Museum by Renzo Piano Building Workshop (2016), and the 338-room Standard Hotel, Beer Garden, and Grill, by Ennead Architects (formerly Polshek Partnership), completed in 2009. Home interiors company Restoration Hardware (RH) has a store at 9 Ninth Avenue, aka 7 Little West 12th Street, having added two glassy floors with a restaurant above a gutted out two-story shell of old brick facades.

Dunn’s commercial work included stores in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District, including the cast iron-fronted 47–49 Mercer Street (1872–73) for Alexander Roux, 39–45 Wooster Street (1884–85), and the Neo-Grec style cast iron-fronted 857 Broadway (1884) for Peter Goelet in the La-dies’ Mile Historic District. Visual cohesion is provided to the historic district streetscapes by the predominance of brick as a facade material, the presence of buildings designed by the same architects, the existence of metal canopies originally installed for market purposes, the one-to-six-story scale. and the Belgian block paving still visible on most streets. The street layout is shaped by the tran-sition between the irregular pattern of northwestern Greenwich Vil-lage (as far north as Gansevoort Street) and the grid of the Com-missioner’s Plan of 1811. One of the district’s unique qualities is that earlier buildings were retained and altered for mar-ket uses, creating mixed use con-sisting of single-family houses, multi-family dwellings, and indus-trial buildings. The stretch of Ninth Avenue between Gansevoort and West 15th Streets offers a vista of a distinctive Manhattan streetscape featuring twenty buildings of the 1840s. The area’s early mixed use is evident in the rare surviving early factory building on a flat-iron-shaped lot at 669–685 Hud-son Street (ca. 1849–60) built for Col. Silas C. Herring, a nationally significant manufacturer of safes and locks. Another business from this period was the woodworklng factory of the prominent building firm of James C. Hoe & Co. (ca. 1850–54) at 52–58 Gansevoort Street. The second factor spurring development within the historic dis-trict was the 1878 partition of real estate owned by the Astor family, which had remained underdeveloped since John Jacob Astor I’s acquisition in 1819. Of the 104 buildings in the district, over one third of them were constructed by the Astors and related family members. Now RH has developed RH Guesthouse, a 14-bed hotel in the five-story building at 55 Gan-sevoort Street. In the rooms, Euro-pean oak walls, floors, ceilings and moldings flow into two full bath-rooms of vein-matched Italian travertine slabs. A wall of south-facing soundproof windows and architectural lighting update the details. The architect is Caro-line Otto of Tribeca-based Anderson Architects, with preservation consultant Jacqueline Peu-Duval-lon. Their rooftop addition had been the biggest sticking point for the LPC, but it now appears masked behind a restoration-style parapet. The rooftop offers an architectural oasis of sculpted hedges and Lon-don Plane trees surrounding a 40-foot mosaic infinity pool with pan-oramic views of downtown New York, Freedom Tower, and the Hudson River; a spa pool is perched on the building’s edge. Morning breakfast, afternoon lunch, and candlelit dinner is offered on the private dining terrace year-round, as well as on the ground floor. Like many restaurateurs, RH has taken advantage of the sidewalk area under the canopies to enclose a seating area for its restaurant. The faire is reportedly nothing to write home about, especially for the pric-es, e. g. 14 oz. Westholme Austra-lian Wagyu wood-grilled for $125, or organic Giannone chicken, nat-ural jus, rosemary, and garlic (half for $42 or whole for $84), and whole Branzino, wood-grilled, ol-ive oil, and lemon for $56. The gourmet pantry offers a selection of charcuterie, crudités, berries, and a fresh baguette.

Chapter 164: Mutual Cooperation
The lunch with fine dishes and great taste had been finished, and the collection of more than twenty years old good wine also had all been drunk up. Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling had eaten and drunk to their heart’s contents, but for the couple Yuan Zhengxuan and Zhao Jing, even after the lunch had ended, they were somewhat still in a daze and weren’t yet able to fully recover from their shock.
"Uncle Yuan, do you have a moment for us to talk alone?"
Tang Xiu looked at Yuan Zhengxuan and said.
Yuan Zhengxuan was silent for a moment. Then, he nodded and said, “Come to my study room! Jing honey, please make a pot of tea for us and send it to my study room!”
With an astonished expression, Yuan Chuling asked, “Eh? You got something to talk with my Dad, Brother? So confidential and mysterious that even I can’t listen?”
Tang Xiu didn’t answer.
Yuan Zhengxuan replied to him with a deep tone, “Little Ling, go watch TV in the living room.”
With a helpless expression, Yuan Chuling shrugged and headed to the living room with lack of interest.
Yuan Zhengxian’s study room was antiquely designed and full of literary atmosphere. A lot of precious calligraphies and paintings hung on the wall. Aside from the notebook on the table, there was also a set of the “four treasures of the study”— pens, ink, paper and ink-stone, with the bookshelves around filled with a variety of books.
Yuan Zhengxuan motioned Tang Xiu to came to the coffee table. After the both of them took a seat on the sofa, Yuan Zhengxuan asked, “Tang Xiu, you want to talk to me alone, what is it you want to ask me about?”
“There are two things I want to ask you. Firstly, is there anything that makes Uncle Yuan unable to speak freely about why you husband and wife took the decision for the divorce?” Tang Xiu asked.
Yuan Zhengxuan’s face slightly changed as he asked with a deep tone, “Little Ling even told you this matter?”
Tang Xiu said, “Yes! Before, he was very disturbed and pained due to this. He was depressed, behaving bad, and hated you; so I was often at his side, talking to him to lighten his mood. Then, he discovered that you two were faking your divorce, but didn’t want to tell him the difficulties you were facing; it made him kind helpless inside. Of course, you also may not tell me about the reason, though. Also, the second thing I want to tell you is that you can tell me if you come across some troubles you’re unable to solve later. And I’ll help you once.”
Yuan Zhengxuan silent.
If he hadn’t known that Tang Xiu was Chen Zhizhong’s Master and also the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corporation, he might have laughed and scoffed at his promise.
But at the moment, he couldn’t.
After Yuan Zhengxuan was silent for a few minutes, Zhao Jing brought a fragrant tea pot and left the study room afterward. Then, he slowly looked up and stared at Tang Xiu as he asked cautiously, “How do I believe you?”
“You may choose not to believe me. If you think you can face it yourselves then you need not to look for me later. Besides, I also don’t like to have much troubles. If you weren’t Yuan Chuling’s father, even if you were a rich Big Boss, I’d not even spare you a glance.” Tang Xiu said indifferently.
Yuan Zhengxuan’s brows slightly slanted and slowly said, “I do have some troubles right now. But I think I can handle it for now. The things I do, I mean the business, are confidential and it’s not for me personally, but for the entire country. So I can’t tell you about this.”
Tang Xiu said with a smile, “I understand.”
Yuan Zhengxuan’s face slightly moved and asked, “Anyways, I heard that you’re very good in martial arts, is that right?”
“I know a little.” Tang Xiu said.
With a forced smile, Yuan Zhengxuan said, “Young men like you are already few to begin with, it’s even extremely rare finding one with a low-profile. From our talk now, I simply can’t feel that you’re a youngster, but it’s like I’m talking with someone on the same level of status and age.”
Tang Xiu said, “You should be glad that you are Yuan Chuling’s father. If we didn’t meet today, maybe eight to ten years later you might need to look up to me.”
Yuan Zhengxuan involuntarily laughed and said, “Kid, you really speak grandiosely!”
Tang Xiu confidently replied, “The strong and powerful need not to boast; and even though the road to the future is very long, yet we’re still going forward to see and try ourselves.”
Going forward to see and give it a try?
Yuan Zhengxuan narrowed his eyes as a thought suddenly crossed his mind. Then, he probed, “Tang Xiu, since you can kill five or six A-cla.s.s wanted criminals, that proves that you’re very strong. If I ask you to help me now, can you do that?”
“What kind of help?” Tang Xiu asked with a tranquil expression.
“My company has a laboratory and we need to divide the core data and information into two parts and send them to the newly established secret laboratory. This information is very important. No, it’s of the extremely, utmost importance. Not only is this related to the success or failure of my business, but it’s also related with a national secret. If I let you go with the escort, can you guarantee that nothing will go wrong?” Yuan Zhengxuan said.
For a moment, Tang Xiu was silent and slowly said, “If it’s related with a state’s secret, why didn’t you ask the escort from police force or, the military?”
Yuan Zhengxuan said, "Like I said, this is a top secret information. I don’t want other people, or forces to get a sniff of it. Otherwise, my business will have no way to continue.”
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, the first batch of the materials, will be free of charge. The second batch will cost you quite a sum, 10 million. If you agree to my condition, I’ll come to help you with the escort. However, if there are some problem midway, I’ll have to charge you 100 times the basic payment.”
A hundred times?
Yuan Zhengxuan stared blankly and looked distracted. Then, he patted his thigh and said, “No problem, it’s a deal. Give me three days. The first batch of information will be sent out three days later. I’ll have to explain in advance that my people will be responsible for the delivery, while you will be responsible for escorting.
Tang Xiu asked, “Can I ask you the person or the force who want to s.n.a.t.c.h this information?”
Yuan Zhengxuan said seriously, “The only thing I can tell you about them, is that there isn’t only one of them. But more than one power who want to get it.”
Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Anyway, three days later I’ll also lead my own people. But you can rest a.s.sured that these people are absolutely trustworthy and reliable.”
“What people?” Yuan Zhengxuan was startled and asked.
“You don’t need to care who they are. You only need to remember that we will be responsible for ensuring the safety of the confidential information.”
Suddenly, his expression moved as if he recalled something in his mind and said, “Uncle Yuan, your business should be related and involving the military, yes? I presume that you have some personal network with the military. If so, I want to ask your help for something.”
"Do say!" Yuan Zhengxuan nodded.
Tang Xiu said, “I just bought an isolated island overseas, and I’ve been preparing to set up a security force there. I think the military has quite a bunch of capable people. So, could you help me ask them a list of veteran-retired soldiers? What I need is retired special soldiers as I don’t have much hope for ordinary retired soldiers. Also, I don’t need too many people, thirty people is enough.”
Yuan Zhengxuan didn’t expect that the help Tang Xiu was seeking turned out to be this kind of matter. He subconsciously turned his head to look at his desk as he couldn’t help smiling wryly inside.
A piece of cake, surely never enough for two people to eat!
If it was only ordinary retired soldiers, it wouldn’t be much a problem. But Tang Xiu, after all, was the benefactor who saved his wife. If he were to hide it from him, it couldn’t be justified.
So, tell him about the list, or…?
And thinking about his capital, perhaps, it would also be very difficult for him to recruit these rebellious retired special soldiers to work under him, of which, even he couldn’t do it. By that time, he’d still able to recruit them again. And not only could he follow his own conscience, he would also have done the right thing by him.
After Yuan Zhengxuan thought up to there, he immediately got up and walked over to the table. He took the name list, handed it over to Tang Xiu and said, “My subordinate has spent a lot of effort for this one, but even so, he could only get a batch in this name list. The special soldiers in this list have just recently retired this year. I was planning on recruiting them myself to work under me. If you can recruit them yourself, then take them. If you can’t do it, then I’ll recruit them to work for me. So, you can’t complain and blame me later.”
Tang Xiu looked at the names on the list a few times. After he memorized the names as well as the means to contact them inside his mind, then, he gave the list back to Yuan Zhengxuan as he nodded and said, “Thank you very much, Uncle Yuan. If they are not interested to work for me after I invited them; naturally, I won’t have any bad thoughts for you if you can get them to work for you.”
Yuan Zhengxuan loudly laughed with a clear and resonant voice as he said, “Tang Xiu, you give me the feeling as if you’re the kind of ‘rear waves of the Yangtze river that drive on the waves before, as I am as the first wave who will end up in the sandy sh.o.r.e’ . How true is this saying. And speaking about it, the clouds and winds will indeed have to change if they ever meet with a dragon. You know, you’re already this capable at present, and I’m totally clueless as how high your achievements would be in the future. Just like you have just said, maybe I really will have to look up to you ten years later.”
Tang Xiu faintly smiled and naturally accepted Yuan Zhengxuan’s praise.
They chatted for a short while as Tang Xiu then got up and left.
At South Gate Town…
After Tang Xiu arrived at home, he saw that Gu Yin was leaning on the sofa and sleeping soundly. The house was very quiet, but he couldn’t see Mu Qingping inside.
Tang Xiu then went upstairs to take a wool blanket and then gently covered Gu Yin’s body. Then, he personally boiled a pot of tea and drank it in the living room whilst waiting for Gu Yin to wake up. After thinking about many things, he just remembered that he had promised Gu Yin he would take her out to play for a full day after he took his College Entrance Test. Thus, he called the New Idea’s private tutor, informing her to take the afternoon off.
He liked this little apprentice of his. Even more so, it could be said that he was really fond of her. After all, being capable of enduring the suffering with the kind of physique she had for two years and don’t even dying, was a tough. He could tell that had it been himself in her shoes and with the same age, perhaps, he would have long been unable to endure any longer and died already.
Moreover, she was very sensible and very filial.
Tang Xiu also had doted on Gu Yan’er once. It was because she experienced a painful and pitiful life. She was as though a lonely, solitary wild gra.s.s in the wild, withstanding the severe test of strong winds and storms, but in the end, was still alive and strong.
Gu Yin and Gu Yan’er were very much similar.
And at present, Gu Yan’er was suffering a tribulation. As she risked her life, braving the danger and travelling through time and s.p.a.ce to come to earth, for him. This greatly touched his heart.
Therefore, he believed that with the kindness he gave to Gu Yin, she wouldn’t let him down in the future.
Half an hour later…
Mu Qingping had just arrived from the outside. For a moment, she was slightly surprised upon seeing Tang Xiu in the living room. But when her vision landed on her daughter, warmness immediately filled her heart.
Tang Xiu waved his hand to interrupt her as he got up, went over and said, “Yinyin is still sleeping and seemingly very tired. Let her sleep for a while! I just called her private tutors to cancel this afternoon’s course. It’s just that I have promised to take her out to play.”
Mu Qingping could feel Tang Xiu’s concern and affection for her daughter. She almost didn’t hesitate as she nodded and said, “Then, you two go! I’ll be at home, doing the housework.”
 The saying means that the old generation will be replaced by the new generation who excels the previous. I translated the idioms fully, albeit with a slight modification to retain the nuances in the dialog.

help I’m having emotions about a cartoon antidepressant trying to be useful
DID YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY GIF AN ABILIFY COMMERCIAL
yes but look at it, it cares about her and just wants to help her be able to function. It’s like “I know you’re sad. here, I’ll help you.”
LIKE OKAY THOUGH can I explain why this is exceedingly brilliant?? Because when anti-depressants work right, that’s what they DO. They don’t make you happy or emotionless or unhealthy in any way, they make you FUNCTIONAL. They make it so that a depressed person who can barely get out of bed can start to support themselves again and more importantly, start to THINK for themselves again without the permeating presence of depression.
Depression is a cyclical disease, that tells you to think a certain way, and, because you’re depressed, you generally believe it, and then things get worse and worse. The ONLY thing anti-depressants do is to STOP that cycle in its tracks!! Which is something to be ecstatic about and celebrated, even if you don’t realize it at the time, because when you’re depressed, getting out of bed is climbing Mount Everest. Antidepressants help stop that cycle so that one day soon, getting out of bed can JUST be getting out of bed. They don’t even expedite the recovery process in most cases, they just make recovery POSSIBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. So this little guy is portrayed with a fuckton more accuracy than I ever expected from a commercial.

US Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, criticized the US Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention and different federal well being companies throughout a dialog with Brian Kilmeade of Fox Information in Friday evening’s version of “The Ingraham Angle”.
CDC BOSS WALENSKY, AFTER FOX TV APPEARS, WALKS OBSERVATIONS ON THE VACCINE MANDATE
US SEN. RON JOHNSON: The American public is dropping religion in our federal well being companies, and that is an actual disgrace. If there may be one a part of authorities apart from the Division of Protection that you just want to place confidence in, it will be the federal well being companies, they usually have misplaced the belief of the American public.
As a result of they do not make any sense. They’re altering the topic, whether or not they’re masks, they don’t again up their pronouncements with science.
I despatched a letter to the CDC at the moment. They leaked this slideshow to justify the masks’s new mandate. There isn’t any information to assist that slide deck. So we’re asking, we’re asking for data, however I’m not holding my breath.
