For youths to feel accepted in their own community regardless of their sexual orientation or sexual identity, social support is as crucial as parental support
It can be very difficult to grow up as a child who is "identified" as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender in India. Finding a friend becomes difficult, and in some situations, it can even be hazardous. Teenagers, who identify themselves in the category of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer), are bullied and physically abused in the country.
Though the long struggle against prejudice has made significant progress, the road to inclusivity is still far ahead. Although many Indian youths have come out in the open with their homosexual and queer identities within the boundaries of their homes and schools, they are struggling to express their gender choices in the outside world. They cannot express their sexuality openly.
It is mainly because of the lesser portrayal of LGBTQ teens in the media. It fosters an undesirable and erroneous sense of wrongdoing when the kids watch television or movie characters who are always 'straight'. In order to find out the difficulties faced by LGBTQ teenagers, we must make them feel loved and welcomed. We must also look closely into the issues they are facing.
LGBTQ teens face a lot of challenges in India.
Teenagers who identify themselves as LGBTQ, become the target of violent crimes. In recent years, the violence against them has increased frequently. It is mainly difficult for the 'females' as they frequently face abuse from religious extremists and conservative members of the society.
Lack of support at school
Though sad, the reality is that in schools and colleges, teachers, lecturers and professors do not support the LGBTQ students. They frequently advise them to keep their sexuality a secret. As a result, the students who follow the advice of the teachers, tend to ignore the LGBTQ students.
These students are frequently targeted by their peers. They are subjected to harassment and bullying.
Statistics show that many families react negatively when the children come out as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Some parents publicly criticise their children. When the teenagers come out of the closet and accept their sexuality, many parents view them as children who cannot be trusted to make their own decisions. Some parents even advise them to keep quiet or consider conversion treatment. Many parents enrol their homosexual children for therapy sessions. These therapy sessions have the potential to cause severe psychological stress, depression, and even suicide. Even though, such actions are prohibited by law, they are still being carried out in secret. This psychological stress can cause lifelong trauma, forcing the children to be hesitant to come out as LGBTQ, as they worry about their parents and fear that the community would reject them.
LGBTQ teens are exposed to the repulsive side of family rejection as some parents force them to leave their homes. As they are forced to move out, they lose their financial support as well. Many a time, these children are not given opportunities to gain education and find professions. As they are sometimes forced to move out of their parents' house, they have to start looking for lodging. Another problem arises here as many landlords and property managers are hesitant to let LGBTQ tenants. The hesitation stems from the idea that they may scare off other locals.
Thus, when LGBTQ youths apply for rented accommodation, they may not be successful. If their sexual orientation is known to their neighbours, same-sex couples may face the risk of being evicted. Unfortunately, they are not shielded from bullying and other sorts of discrimination by the law. In certain LGBT youths, it raises the spectre of depression, suicidal thoughts, and substance abuse. Others who engage in unprotected sex, may run the risk of testing HIV positive.
Public accommodation, schools, bathrooms
Who will get to use the restrooms at public schools? There has been a heated debate on this. The integration of facilities and restrooms that are suitable for those who identify themselves as transgender, gay or lesbian, has been rejected by schools. Because of the conflicting public opinions on how to make facilities, services, and products safe for everybody, this is a complicated subject.
This prevents transgender teenagers from using bathrooms in a comfortable manner. It is challenging for LGBT individuals to feel at ease in schools and public restrooms as birth certificates are used to determine a child's gender.
Even though there has been significant progress in the fight for universal health care, doctors and medical professionals still do not pay enough attention to LGBTQ youths. Additionally, some health insurance providers have made it very challenging for these people to get proper health care. Insurance firms are taking these actions, in part because young people who identify themselves as LGBTQ, are more likely to have mental health problems and substance addiction. Insurance providers believe that covering LGBTQ youths will result in greater financial losses. As a result, LGBTQ teenagers are compelled to give up a variety of pastimes.
Teenagers who identify themselves as LGBTQ, face discrimination in the legal system. In courts, prisons, and correctional facilities, there are higher incidences of abuse against gay and lesbian people. They may experience years of maltreatment and are frequently treated suspiciously by their fellow prisoners. Many inmates have found themselves in solitary confinement as a means of protection. According to research, there are more LGBTQ people behind bars than outside. This suggests that because of their sexual orientation, LGBTQ youths are more likely to serve time in prison.
Discrimination in employment
If those in their late teens identify themselves as LGBTQ, finding employment can be challenging. Some people have been forced to conceal their identities in order to work in certain companies. Similar accusations have been made against hiring managers and HR departments for discriminating against transgender individuals. Teenagers who are rejected from the workforce, become poorer and are at a disadvantage when compared to their classmates. Even those who do manage to secure employment, run the possibility of being sacked at any moment. No matter how well someone has been performing on the job, sexual orientation is one of the most major reasons to fire them. Several managers still lack necessary abilities to deal with LGBTQ teenagers and adults despite the efforts of activists and government organisations. While they may not be fired, LGBTQ teenagers may experience prejudice aimed at keeping them out of the workforce.
For youths to feel accepted in their own community regardless of their sexual orientation or sexual identity, social support is as crucial as parental support. People in general should not be afraid to get in touch with LGBTQ youths. If you know someone in your neighbourhood, you must let them know that you love and support them. Some battles still need to be fought differently despite the fact that legislative bodies and judicial systems have approved laws that have improved the environment for LGBTQ teens. We must make sure that the teenagers who identify themselves as LGBTQ, get an environment where they can grow up without fear and prejudice. We must ensure that they are welcomed and accepted everywhere.

Rwandan Patriotic Front
Published 9th September, 2013
The Rwandan Patriotic Front or RPF (FPR in French) was founded in 1987 from Tutsi refugees in Uganda.
The RPF started life as an armed group who returned to Rwanda in 1987 and started an insurgency in the country. By 1992 the group had made considerable gains in the north of the country and forced the government of the day into peace talks in August 1993 which subsequently resulted in the Arusha Accord.
In 1994, despite the Accord, or perhaps because of it, members of the Rwandan armed forces and the government turned on the Tutsi minority following the death of President Habyarimana. Although the RPF armed forces had largely withdrawn as a result of the Accord, they returned when close to one million people were massacred, mostly Tutsi’s, between April and June 1994. They quickly overtook the government forces and entered the capital Kigali on 4th July 1994.
On 17th July 1994 the RPF announced that Pasteur Bizimungu, a Hutu, would be the new President of Rwanda and Paul Kagame was to be his Vice-President. Bizimungu resigned in March 2000 and was replaced by Kagame.
The first multi-party elections in the country didn’t take place until 25th August 2003. Paul Kagame won 95.1% of the vote to become President and the RPF took 58 of the 80 seats in the new Chamber of Deputies.
For the 2008 election the RPF formed a coalition with six other parties and won 42 of the 80 seats. This election was perhaps most notable for electing 45 women Deputies, giving women a majority in parliament. The election was, however, marred by the boycott of the official opposition.
In 2010 Paul Kagame won the presidential for his second term with 93.08% of the vote, but the election was marred by violence, especially against opposition officials.

Roman Ruins, Side
Side was an important and prosperous trading centre during the period of Roman control which lasted until the 3rd century. The extensive ruins from this time which can be seen in and around Side are an archaeologist’s dream and evidence of the advanced building and engineering skills of the Romans. Work to document and restore these ancient remains is an ongoing process. The list of ruins includes the Temples of Apollo and Athena, the amphitheatre, the original colonnaded main street , the agora and the aquaduct system. Side Museum is also located on a site which was formerly a Roman bath complex. It is these ruins which give Side it's special character and atmosphere - without them it would probably be just another over-developed resort.
Side was a major port city during the Roman Empire. As a result, there are a number of ruins remaining from the Roman empire. These are located in and around the old town section of Side. There is even a road going right through the ruins, so you can see them without having to leave your car! The most famous ruins in Side are the ampitheater and the temple of Apollo, which we have provided separate pages. However, behind the ampitheater are located the ruins of numerous other structures which are worth walking through. These include a city gate, a nymphaeum, a couple of other temples, an agora, and the baths.
The roman ruins at Side are world famous.
Side was one a flourishing roman port and the evidence is all here

Gloria Adams, Timothy Dale and Jeffrey Miller were in a deadly Palatka, Florida three-vehicle crash on March 12. Dale, a Putnam Sheriff’s candidate, died in the crash, which was reportedly set off by 77-year-old Adams. Miller and Angela Wynn were both injured. No charges have yet been filed as officials continue to investigate the car accident. It is not clear whether Adams has preemptively retained a private criminal defense attorney.
According to the police report, the incident occurred on March 12 just after 10 at night. Adams, while driving down U.S. 17 South in her 2009 Ford sedan, allegedly rear-ended a 1991 Ford Escort driven by 63-year-old Jeffery Miller. It is not clear whether the rear-ending was due to a lapse in attention, a sudden stop on the part of Miller, or some other factor.
As Adams’ vehicle struck Miller’s vehicle from behind, Miller’s vehicle crossed the median, blocking 50-year-old Brown’s path. Brown’s 2005 Ford struck Miller’s vehicle, and the impact caused Brown’s vehicle to divert onto a shoulder and flip over.
It is not entirely clear whether Brown was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Adams and Miller were wearing seat belts, as well as Angela Wynn, who was riding in Miller’s vehicle. Brown was taken to Putnam Community Medical Center following the car accident, where he was pronounced dead. Adams sustained minor injuries in the crash and was transported to Putnam Community Medical Center for treatment. Miller and Wynn both had to be flown to hospitals: Millar, in critical condition, was flown to Shands Hospital in Gainsville, while Wynn, who was in stable condition, was taken to Orange Park Medical Center.
Timothy Brown, who served as a police officer for 20 years and leaves behind three children, was one of nine Putnam sheriff candidates. Brown was running as a Republican in the primary, which will take place this August. He reportedly has a family history of police officers: both his father and grandfather served on police forces. On his website, he said that he would “provide the people of Putnam County with the level of service we deserve at a cost we can all afford” if chosen as sheriff.
A friend and co-worker of Brown’s told the press that Brown was friendly and popular. “If you were around him, you just couldn’t help but like him. He always had a smile on his face,” the friend said, calling the accident “tragic.”
This is not the only fatal car accident plaguing Florida this week. Gregory Todd Travers, 41, died in Davie, FL on Monday when his vehicle spun out of control on State Road 84. Travers’ vehicle crashed into a bridge support and flipped over, leaving Travers with lethal injuries. When officials responded to a 911 call and reached the area, Travers’ limping German Shepherd reportedly led them nearly a quarter of a mile to the crash site and helped them navigate the wreckage and locate Travers.
“I think the dog definitely meant to lead them there,” said Davie Batallion Chief Robert Belizaire to the press. “I think he was out there looking for some help.” The dog was taken to the Broward County Animal Shelter following the accident, but was later picked up by Travers’ widow.

It establishes that those types of games are not considered a valuable source of influence for juvenile criminals as the crime rate proves the steady downcast of incarcerations and victim reports giving to the police departments.
Some may disagree that violent videogames should be allowed to be played by children and adolescents, testifying that those games should be banned from being purchased. However, this would prove unethical because censoring violence in gaming would be as much equivalent in censoring the violence in other forms of media and literature, such as films, books, and music. Between 2002 and 2010, 13 states introduced legislation prohibiting the sale of violent video games to children. The exact details of the laws ...

... just apply simply to violence, but other real life subjects such as sexual content or murder. Of course there’s always the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) for distributing games, but the effective way for parent to control what their kids play is by being with them and play along with them and communicate. The problem isn’t going to go away simply by asking congress to get things done; anyone considering that option will only be given regulations and laws. According to the research going on now and how low the amount of youth violence, it’s safe to say there’s still less of a link between aggression and violent games. If ever, censorship is the most fissionable option for the videogame culture, so until there’s more solid evidence to support the violence in videogames. Until then, let’s hope the future of videogames will bring out a more positive outcome.

Barack Obama hails Martin Luther King as re-election campaign buildsBreaking News
President Barack Obama on Sunday tied himself to Martin Luther King's pursuit of justice and equality in America, as he dedicated a monument erected in memory of slain the civil rights leader in Washington.
In overtly political passages, Mr Obama sent a message to his beleaguered supporters not to give up and that King's struggle remained unfinished as election year approaches.
The 30ft high pink granite monument to King is the first dedicated to a black American, and the first to a non-president or non-war hero on the National Mall, the capital's hallowed central park.
Fifteen years in the making, its designers could not have predicted then that the monument would be dedicated by the nation's first black president, just as in the heady days after Mr Obama's election it could scarcely have been predicted that he would face such bleak re-election prospects now....

A shy girl walked into the place where the 2bU staff was busy with another fashion shoot, and it was Rian Gonzales.
With a sheepish smile and a wave, she jokingly asked if she was really being featured, as we led her to where she could be prepped up. Like her nickname, Rainbow, she has a way of brightening up a room with her humor and simplicity. “Mom will treat the entire barangay pancit once this feature comes out,” she joked.
It has only been a year since she graduated from the University of Santo Tomas (UST) with a degree in Advertising Arts, but Gonzales is already enjoying what she does, earning a name for herself doing what she loves: creating art.
She described her artworks as whimsical: “I just like splashing vibrant colors on everything I work on. I love capturing the innocent yet alluring nature of women in my drawings.” Just like rainbows on paper.
Like a lot of artists, Gonzales started watching cartoons and anime when she was just a child. “I would just wonder for hours how these drawings were brought to life on the big screen,” she said. She also admitted that she’s into fairy tales and Disney. “They make up a big part of my art influence.”
She joined her high school’s magazine, The Theresian of St. Theresa’s College in Quezon City, then later, a student org called “illUST” at UST. And it was in college that her friends
nicknamed her “Rianbow” because of her use of color in paintings. “Rendering artworks in full color makes me feel at ease. It expresses what I am.”
The little things
Gonzales finds inspiration in the little things, she said. Whenever she feels burned out but has to finish work, she stops. “I don’t stay for long behind closed doors. I eat out with my family, watch a movie with friends, and just surround myself with lots of positivity.”
Because of her distinct style of artwork, Gonzales has gained a legion of fans. “I still can’t quite wrap my head around the idea that there are people all over the world who actually follow my art,” she said. “It’s pretty insane. Knowing that people support my craft is fuel enough for me to do better, to push my limits.”
Her happy works opened a lot of doors for her, including commissioned projects. Gonzales admitted it’s nice to hear praise, but she can easily point out what she could have done to improve the artwork. “‘You are only as good as your last work,’ as the saying goes—I make it a point to do my best in every piece I work on.”
Open-mindedness and coffee
Pure determination, perseverance and lots of open-mindedness are the values she learned from being a budding artist. Gonzales said that there are many better artists out there, and they didn’t get to that level with a snap of a finger. It took countless sleepless nights, hundreds of cups of coffee, and tons of revisions and rejections.
“They just make me want to go back to the drawing board and focus on making art. You’ve got to go out there, dream big and make your own opportunities.”
She also added that there are more things she wants to learn and improve on. “I would like to draw more men for a change,” she quipped, since most of her subjects are women. “I like sketching from real life and reference photos from time to time to improve my knowledge of anatomy,” she added. And she dreams of being able to work for Disney and make her own comic book one day.
Gonzales ended our chat by listing her five artist essentials—Prang watercolor, white acrylic paint, watercolor paper, Internet and lots of chocolate. “Okay, wait, scrap all of that, just tons and tons of chocolate would do the trick for me.”

Consequences are connected. It can be a hard reality to accept, but it’s one you have to face if you want to succeed with your investments.
Here’s how this works: When consequences are evolving positively, it feels like the wind is at your back. Let’s say you invest in a piece of real estate, and all seems to go well. The value goes up, so you leverage the real estate. You get a variable rate loan so you can do even more with your money. You splurge on a luxurious vacation. Feeling financially confident, you start taking risks in your job, and you send your children to expensive colleges. One after another, the connected consequences of your decisions all seem to be flowing, and the journey feels light and right.

Several pre-treatment factors have been described that may indicate success with PDE5i therapy. The presence of an upper motor neuron lesion up to T12 suggests a successful response, as well as requirement for a lower dosage of medication (62,68-71). Additionally, the presence of residual erections after injury or an incomplete SCI (ASI-A vs. ASIB-D) also improve the chance of PDE5i treatment success (59,67,68,71).
While studies are limited, it has been shown that male sexual dysfunction can also negatively impact the sexual function of female partners. A study comparing the sexual function of women with partners with erectile dysfunction to those without showed that sexual arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, pain and total score were significantly lower in those who had partners with erectile dysfunction. Later in that study, a large proportion of the men with erectile dysfunction underwent treatment. Following treatment, sexual arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain were all significantly increased. It was concluded that female sexual function is impacted by male erection status, which may improve following treatment of male sexual dysfunction.
Having erection trouble from time to time isn't necessarily a cause for concern. If erectile dysfunction is an ongoing issue, however, it can cause stress, affect your self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems. Problems getting or keeping an erection can also be a sign of an underlying health condition that needs treatment and a risk factor for heart disease.

Alprostadil is an FDA-approved erectile dysfunction drug that can be injected directly into the penis to trigger an automatic erection. "Penile injection is the most effective type of ED treatment for men who can't take oral treatment," says Nelson Bennett, MD, a urologist at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Mass. In fact, it has an 85 percent success rate. Possible side effects include a burning sensation and priapism, an erection that lasts more than four hours and requires medical treatment.
Communicate with your partner. Do you feel comfortable and accepted when it comes to your sexual performance? If you're worried about meeting your partner's too-high expectations or living up to some kind of standard, it will be harder to maintain an erection - it's called performance anxiety. If you think your partner's judgment might be hindering your ability to have satisfying sex, you need to communicate your needs and find ways to make your sexual environment more inviting.
You should talk to your doctor about possible treatments. You may want to talk to other patients who have had the treatment planned for you. You also may want to seek a second doctor's opinion about surgery before making your decision. You may find it difficult to talk to your doctor about impotence. You will want to find a doctor who treats this condition and will help you feel comfortable talking about the problem and choosing the best treatment. You can also get more information by contacting your local National Kidney Foundation affiliate.
Additionally, the physiologic processes involving erections begin at the genetic level. Certain genes become activated at critical times to produce proteins vital to sustaining this pathway. Some researchers have focused on identifying particular genes that place men at risk for ED. At present, these studies are limited to animal models, and little success has been reported to date.  Nevertheless, this research has given rise to many new treatment targets and a better understanding of the entire process.
3. Testosterone replacement. Before oral medications like Viagra, testosterone was routinely used to treat erectile dysfunction as it is central in the male sexual response, including the desire for sex and the process of getting an erection. Testosterone can be administered in a number of ways, for example orally, by means of an injection, skin patch, or subcutaneous (under the skin) pellet.
Oral medicines: The best known ED medications are the Big Three: Viagra (sildenafil citrate, made by Pfizer, Inc.), Levitra (vardenafil HCl, made by Bayer and GlaxoSmithKline), and Cialis (tadalafil, made by Eli Lilly). The three are chemically very similar, and all have proven very effective. Because they are effective, convenient, and relatively inexpensive (about nine dollars per pill), these medicines have become the treatment of choice for most men experiencing ED.
SD in MS can be classified into three categories. Primary SD is due directly due to MS-related neurological deficits, secondary SD is related to physical impairments and symptoms or drugs used for MS treatment, and tertiary SD is due to the psychological, social and cultural problems attributed to MS (38). These classifications are important, and underscore the importance of addressing all the issues leading to SD not just the neurologic impairment.
Multiple combinations of intracavernosal therapy exist and the effectiveness of them varies based on patient characteristics and varying dosing strength (Table 1). Combination therapy have been extremely effective in the SCI population, and have several advantages including a reduction in cost per dose and side effects base on the lowered dose of each component (101,102). Effectiveness of combination therapy in the spinal cord population is well established, but no specific dose recommendations can be made based on the data (103-106). The use of combination therapy on other forms of neurogenic ED have not been well studied, but there use can be trialed as second-line therapy, or for populations were the side effects of PDE5i may preclude use such as in MSA due to hypotension.
I think that a very powerful argument to young men who want to perform at the highest level is to point out the destructive nature of what they’re doing. If they’re having 18 drinks per week, if they’re having three, four, five drinks at any one time, they’re going to guarantee that their erections are not going to be at the highest level. I can’t tell you the number of men who come in saying, they went out, they had a date, they had a big dinner– which, by the way, is also not a great thing for erections, because all the blood is now going to your gut instead of to the genital area. And how important lifestyle changes are to improving your performance, as well, if not better, than the medications. So make certain that you exercise modestly, not excessively. Make certain that you have a smaller meal on an evening or a day that you want to have a sexual encounter, because you want the blood to go, once again, to the penile area and not to your gut. And really, the whole idea of stress– if you’re stressed out, if you’re worried about a lot of things, if you’re distracted, you can’t initiate that psychic stimulus to your spinal cord and then ultimately to your penis. So stress management is incredibly important.
Medical conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease (CVD), and psychological conditions, such as depression and anxiety, also contribute to sexual dysfunction in middle-aged or elderly men. CVD and hypertension cause a narrowing and hardening of the arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the corporal bodies, which is essential for achieving an erection. Diabetes is a common aetiology of sexual dysfunction, because it can affect both the blood vessels and the nerves that supply the penis. Men with diabetes are four times more likely to experience ED, and on average, experience ED 15 years earlier than men without diabetes.7 Obesity is also correlated to the development of several types of dysfunction, including a decrease in sex drive and an increase in episodes of ED.8
The severity of ED has been correlated with the extent of CVD. Banks et al reported that the risk of future CV events increased progressively according to ED severity.28 This was shown in both men with and without known CVD at baseline and after controlling for confounders. Solomon and colleagues found an inverse correlation between international index of erectile function (IIEF) scores and plaque burden seen on coronary angiography.29 In addition, Yaman et al demonstrated a significant correlation between ED severity on IIEF questionnaires and coronary artery calcification.30
Thinking about sex creates a burst of dopamine, which is a brain chemical that’s linked to excitement, motivation and pleasure. It also plays a crucial role in helping you to get an erection! In a man who is bored with or indifferent about sex, thinking about the act is unlikely to be accompanied by that dopamine burst, making it likely that the man will experience erectile dysfunction.
ED is easily and successfully treated! If your sex drive is unaffected, but you experience problems achieving or sustaining erection for a period of four to five weeks, you may have ED. Talk to your doctor immediately. Don’t delay—erectile dysfunction doesn’t “just go away!” Additionally, ED could be a sign of a serious, even life-threatening complication, such as congestive heart failure or kidney disease. Ignoring your ED because it’s embarrassing could jeopardize your health.
Ginseng, specifically “red ginseng,” is known as the “herbal Viagra” that helps puts to rest men’s bedroom woes. Red ginseng is when the root has been steamed and then dried. The ginseng root is the part of the plant that is mostly used as a natural remedy when in its supplement form. However, the plant must be grown for a minimum of five years before it can be used. In a 2008 review, seven studies on red ginseng and ED, ranging in dosages from 600 to 1,000 milligrams three times a day, were found to provide evidence for the effectiveness of the herb in ED treatment.
There are many circumstances that could lead a man to become sexually indifferent. Long-term relationships which become marked by routine, boredom and conflict represent one major culprit. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that if you’re not really interested in having sex anymore, you’re not likely to have an erection. What’s the brain science behind this?
Common medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure are associated with an increased risk of developing erectile dysfunction. Thus, optimal management of these diseases may help prevent the development or progression of erectile dysfunction. Lifestyle modifications to improve vascular function, including smoking cessation, losing weight if overweight, and exercising regularly, may be helpful.
Does drinking water improve erectile dysfunction? Erectile dysfunction or ED is a common concern for men. Everyday factors, such as hydration levels, may affect a person's ability to get or maintain an erection. Drinking water may, therefore, help some men with ED. In this article, learn about the link between hydration and ED, and other factors that can cause ED. Read now
The obvious risks are the same that accompany any surgery: infection, pain, bleeding, and scarring. If for some reason the prosthesis or parts become damaged or dislocated, surgical removal may be necessary. With a general success rate of about 90 percent, any of the devices will restore erections, but they will not affect sexual desire, ejaculation, or orgasm.
The somatosensory pathways for erections originate in the penile skin, glans and urethra. Glans afferent sensory free nerve endings are 10-fold more than their corpuscular receptors, and are derived from Aδ and unmyelinated C fibers. The nerve endings coalesce to form the dorsal penile nerve along with other sensory nerve fibers. Through the pudendal nerve they enter the S2-4 nerve roots to terminate on spinal neurons and interneurons. The dorsal nerve is not purely somatic, however. Nerve bundles within the dorsal nerve contain nitric oxide (NO) synthase, found typically in autonomic nerves, and stimulation of the sympathetic chain can leak to evoked potentials from the dorsal nerve and vice versa (10-12).
Moemen et al. compared the effectiveness and satisfaction associated with use of several ED therapies including sildenafil alone, intracavernosal injections (ICI) followed by sildenafil after ICI discontinuation and vacuum erections devices (VED) followed by sildenafil therapy after VED discontinuation (60). Seventy percent of men receiving vasoactive medications preferred sildenafil to ICI, even though rigidity was superior in the ICI group. All men using VEDs were dissatisfied with that form of therapy.
The observation that TRT enhances the efficacy of PDE5 inhibitors in hypogonadal men taking these therapies with suboptimal response to the PDE5 inhibitors alone has been reported.33 In addition, investigators have demonstrated that TRT in hypogonadal men can improve erectile function even without the benefit of PDE5 inhibitors.33 In addition, guidelines for managing ED in hypogonadal men by the European Association of Urology recommend controlling the man to a eugonadal state prior to initiation of PDE5 inhibitor therapy.36 Testosterone measurement consists of a serum specimen which should be ideally obtained in the morning because of the normal diurnal variation of testosterone which is at its peak in the morning. Since TRT is relatively safe, and men can potentially see an improvement in erectile function, it seems prudent to consider this issue when presented with a patient suffering from ED.
Stress is your body responding to your environment. And it’s a good thing—in limited doses. When you get stressed out your body makes chemicals like adrenaline that make you stronger, faster, fitter, and even able to think more clearly. Most people call this reaction the “fight-or-flight” response, and it’s a life-saver in dangerous situations. In a very real sense, adrenaline makes you a part-time superhero. The problems happen when your body deals with constant stress.
Six herbs for treating erectile dysfunction Erectile dysfunction can be an embarrassing condition that can leave men unable to achieve an erection or a full orgasm. This MNT Knowledge Center article talks about six different herbal supplements that could help people with erectile dysfunction, including ginkgo biloba, horny goat weed, and red ginseng. Read now
A vacuum erection device is a plastic tube that slips over the penis, making a seal with the skin of the body. A pump at the other end of the tube makes a low-pressure vacuum around the erectile tissue, which results in an erection. An elastic ring is then slipped onto the base of the penis. This holds the blood in the penis (and keeps it hard) for up to 30 minutes. With proper training, 75 out of 100 men can get a working erection using a vacuum erection device.

Going off my last blog, which discussed the idea of living with cerebral palsy and feeling like a burden. One comment in particular really stood out to me, one gentlemen wrote about how feeling like a burden can often lead toward suicidal thoughts and various other elements like extended bouts of depression.
Suicide first and foremost does not care about the color of ones skin, whether one is skinny or fat or whether on is living with something like cerebral palsy or is paralyzed. It spares no one and never well. So as humans, it’s almost as though we have something that can cause us to relate or open up to one another (if we were so willing). In a sense, it can be easier to say the powerful words of “me too”.
As a person living with cerebral palsy, I have battled depression for over the past ten or more years of my life. And yes, suicidal thoughts have been a part of that. I have even spent days in a hospital, in an attempt to try and balance out the disconnection of my thoughts and brain chemistry. I’m not ashamed or afraid to admit these things, and I certainly do not care if that causes people to think that I’m crazy or weird.
We are all broken people, the simple fact is that we have a choice to confess it, seek help and live in community and transparency. Dealing with both cerebral palsy and suicidal thoughts, can be different in the sense that if you don’t have methods to simply escape for awhile or friends that can care and help. It can be all the more taxing. For people to simply state that depression and suicidal thoughts are selfish, is simply them missing the fuller picture.
People simply aren’t physical beings, or emotional beings and even chemicals. We are all of them at the same time, and we must learn that if one suffers, the rest suffer as well. Having cerebral palsy and not having healthy social structure, can lead to intense loneliness and even despair. Having no one around you that tries to understand can make it all the more taxing.
A pastor once told me that, despite how you feel, you have to step out first and ask for help and community. While that can be extremely difficult, I do believe that he was right. That does not mean then, that a friend, loved one or doctor cannot step into your darkness first. It simply means that most times, it require us to rely not on our own strength, wisdom and courage. But that of the divine, the creator of the universe, for guidance and healing.
In fact, in terms of recovery the very first step is to admit you in yourself are powerless.This is not a popular perspective, but I truly believe that this is where healing and recovery truly begins. Suicidal thoughts do not have to have victory over your life, you are not your cerebral palsy, you are not your thoughts. You are a person with a immense value and purpose.
So I implore you today, whether you have cerebral palsy, or some other condition and have been quiet about the thoughts that fill your mind, please talk to someone, call someone, even a crisis hotline if you have to. Corner someone until they actually listen to you. But do not give your thoughts another ounce of power, for you are far more valuable then all the gold in the world. Then to be constantly haunted by this ugly demon.
Please call this number if you need help: http://www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org/index.php?option=com_content&id=619


The poor get poorer
This summer the Brookings Institution released the findings of a nationwide poverty study, and the results indicated that the suburban poor populations in the Triad have been growing at one of the fastest rates in the country.
The study reported that the poverty rate percentage point change between 2000 and 2010 was 6.7 percent for Greensboro, one of the fastest-growing rates in the country.
City of Greensboro officials quickly snapped into damage control mode by expressing their concern and announcing a poverty summit on September 10. While it is always nice to see some compassion from those in power, I’m worried that the Triad has fallen victim to a national trend, and we are powerless against it.
First, let’s contemplate how disturbing these findings are. The federal poverty line is defined as $23,492 a year for a family of four. After low-rate taxes that comes out to about $1,600 each month. Consider for a moment how much you spent on housing, utilities, groceries, gas, loan repayments and bills last month and ask yourself if $1,600 is enough money to sustain even one adult.
After years of living on a shoestring, never being able to put money into a savings account or afford new things, it’s a struggle just to keep up with the demands of providing food and shelter. And when you are living paycheck to paycheck, it only takes one accident or brush with illness to send you into a black hole of lifelong debt and inescapable poverty. Talk to some of the homeless population in the Triad and you will find that many of them were employed, tax-paying citizens until tragedy struck.
Now think about how recent data indicate that one in four children live at or below the poverty line in the state. The numbers are also depressing for women, with 19 percent living in poverty. That rate jumps to 41 percent for single parent households, which are mostly headed by women.
While I don’t want to sound fatalistic, poverty is clearly cyclical.
People who are born into poverty typically stay poor. When you begin life with fewer resources, less access to quality education and nutrition, and exposure to higher crime rates, then you are less likely to succeed. With poverty rates rising, that means that children can expect to be worse off than their parents now instead of just maintaining the bleak status quo.
The rise of poverty in the suburbs is highlighting the lack or resources available to low-income families outside of downtown. You typically can’t walk to thrift stores or food banks from the suburbs, and taking the bus from the sprawl can be either a hassle or impossible. Without resources, poverty in the suburbs can be an incredibly isolating experience that compounds the problem.
For many people suburban poverty isn’t quite visible yet, and this Brooking’s Institution report seems to contradict other reports about how corporations are experiencing record high profits and how North Carolina is in the midst of an economic boom. How can so many people become richer in this state just as poverty levels increase so sharply? Why are women and children the ones that are hurt the most by this widening income disparity?
There is more opportunity in the tech industry than any other in the country right now. Apps like Snapchat have estimated values in the billions with 20-something CEOs turning into modern day Rockefellers overnight. Raleigh can point to it’s own investment in the tech industry as the main reason why the capital has become an economic Cinderella story.
In a way, the software industry is reinventing the manufacturing economy. We are making things in this country again – they just aren’t necessarily tangible.
The problem is that women and minorities have yet to get a fair slice of that pie while industries that disproportionately employ women (education, social work, liberal arts and child care) have experienced hit after hit. Jobs and wages for women-heavy careers have been whittled back to levels that make it nearly impossible for college alumnae to even pay back their student loans.
North Carolina has also aggressively restricted a woman’s access to reproductive care in the past few years.
Considering that single parenthood is practically a one-way ticket to poverty for a young woman and her child, it seems obvious that access to family planning services would be economically beneficial to the women in this state.
So what can Greensboro and Winston-Salem do? The municipalities have their hands tied when it comes to state legislation regarding women’s health care, and even less power when it comes to national trends in the job market.
There’s no single magic bullet. It’s an uphill battle for the cities to try and establish programs to create jobs, add affordable housing downtown, increase public transit accessibility, and provide other resources as a landslide of obstacles trickle down from larger systemic issues.
My hope is that city governments in the Triad face the numbers with unflinching honesty. A lot of the country is hurting right now due to circumstances out of local government control, but for some reason citizens in the Triad are slipping into poverty at an alarming rate. If we want the Triad to have a future, we need to find out why. !

If you are wondering what to do for a broken tailbone, then you should read through the following article for some remedial help. Read on and learn all about how to treat a broken tailbone.
The last bone in the spinal cord is the coccyx or the tailbone. There are about 3 to 5 bones that make up a tail bone. If a force is applied to the tailbone during a hard fall or impact during a sport, it could lead to an injury and possibly a fracture. A fracture or dislocation of the tailbone are not common injuries. When a patient feels a lot of pain at the base of the spine, the doctor may suspect a fracture
It may even occur during childbirth, if the joint between the coccyx and sacrum joint are sprained. Repetitive straining due to continuous cycling or rowing boats may also lead to tailbone bruising and fracture. In many cases, the cause is idiopathic. One cannot place a cast to help the bone heal. There are other methods that help in broken tailbone healing. Let us have a look at how to treat a broken tailbone in detail.
How to Fix a Broken Tailbone?
A broken tailbone causes severe pain and tenderness in the area where the tailbone is located. One may even find bruises surrounding the area. The person finds it very difficult to sit for long periods or carry out any activity that puts direct pressure on the tailbone. During bowel movement, the pain becomes very severe as well as during sexual intercourse, especially in women.
It may even lead to pain in legs and feet with time. The bruising, pain, swelling and even constipation at times, make life very difficult for the patient. Thus, one needs to know what can be done for a broken tailbone and find some ways to heal the bone quickly. Some of the methods that will help you get some relief are discussed below.
The doctor will recommend non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medications like ibuprofen or aspirin to help reduce the pain and swelling on the coccyx. He may even suggest injections that help in reducing the inflammation and pain, especially if the patient is suffering from a lot of discomfort.
The patient is asked to place ice compress on the tailbone within 48 hours of injury. This helps decrease the inflammation as well as injury to the coccyx. One should apply ice wrapped in a towel for about 15 minutes on the injury.
Repeat it about 6 times a day. After 48 hours of the injury, one should take a warm bath or place a warm compress on the injury. This is because cold compress will not be helpful after 48 hours but warm compress will help relieve the swelling and injury of the tailbone.
One should avoid placing excessive pressure on their fractured tailbone. This means that the patient should avoid sitting in the same position for a long time as well as sleeping on their back. One should sit on a firm, hard surface as soft cushions will make the pain worse. It is important to lean forward as it helps shift the pressure away from the tailbone.
One can visit a drug store and purchase special ‘donut’ cushions. These cushions are specially designed to help prevent any contact of the coccyx with the surface on which the patient sits. Thus, those who have to sit for long hours to complete their work will find this remedy very beneficial.
If the patient suffers from persistent pain that is making life difficult, then the doctor may suggest surgery. A broken tailbone surgery is advised only when all treatments fail. The coccyx is removed during the surgery. However, broken tailbone surgery is very rare.
Broken Tailbone Recovery
The recovery time is about 4 to 6 weeks. The broken tailbone heals by itself with time. One needs to avoid wearing high heels. Also, one should sleep on the side or on the stomach, lean forward to reduce pressure on the tailbone and sit on ‘donut’ cushions. This will help reduce the broken tailbone recovery time.
If one experiences any of the symptoms of broken tailbone, he/she should seek medical help. It is important to get the broken tailbone treated on time so that it will avoid further complications. There is not much to do, but just a few precautions and care to be taken during the recovery period, which will help heal a fractured coccyx.

Amol Gupte, the screenwriter, actor and film-maker, has added another feather to his cap. After tasting success in the scripting and film-making domain, he has now turned music composer for his next film, Hawaa Hawaai. Amole wants to reach out to children with his song, which will be based on Indian classical ragas.
“I wanted to sing to the children of the nation. So, I wrote and composed Chule Ke Angaare. It’s an inspirational anthem for them and is an early morning rendition. It has a flavor of Indian classical music,” says Amole.
Besides composing the track, the director has also lent his voice to it.
“I have also sung in the film. Since I was really connected to the song, I didn’t have any difficulty in singing it. I needed a voice that could communicate the words and I felt like singing it myself,” says Amol, who has been an Indian classical music aficionado since childhood. “I was four years old when my father introduced me to Indian classical music, and I used to attend baithaks (music sessions),” he adds.
He also says that he will definitely compose more songs in the future. The rest of the songs have been composed by Hitesh Sonik. The same collaboration had rocked Stanley Ka Dabba, and one can’t wait to see what they pull out of the box this time.


A North Carolina woman who started attending college when she was just 12-years-old recently received her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin at 23.
Julia Nepper was homeschooled for four years after her parents realized she was gifted at an early age. She began her higher education at Cape Fear Community College and went on to earn an associate’s degree at 14. She also obtained a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington when she was 16.
“I’m so proud of her,” her mother, Nadine Nepper, told WECT News. “All that hard work has paid off. It’s hard to believe she was kept back in kindergarten that one year.” As for her future plans, Julia said she wants to try and get a job in Japan.

"To Your Majesty" by Danny I [I Grade Records - 2011]
Today we take another look at an album from 2011 which I don't really think got what it ultimately deserved in terms of attention and, in this case, it was almost to be expected. The artist in this case has never been very flashy or someone who automatically commanded attention before you listened to his music, but after you did take that next step, he proved to be someone who had seemingly mastered being consistent in an arena such as Virgin Islands Reggae music which is virtually constructed on the concept of being consistent. He exists as definitely one of the most dependable. Now three albums deep into his career, he very much figures to be someone who is more likely to get that respect and attention at some later point . . . From you! I'm doing my part (again) today as we Rewind! "To Your Majesty" by Danny I.
1. 'To Your Majesty'
"Everything that liveth better hail"
The opener and title track of this album has not only remained its most crucial and best tune to my ears, it's also gone on to become, much like the title track from the singer's previous album, "Unchangeable" and the MASSIVE 'Lion As A Rulah' from his now virtually untraceable debut set, "Jah Fury" (easily one of the finest creations I have ever heard), a pillar of Danny I's career in my opinion. This song is really an amalgam of many of the ideas on the album named after it combined on a single track and, as you may imagine such a tune would have to be, it's outstanding and such a satisfying tune. Truly music made for a King.
2. 'Leave All Your Load'
'Leave All Your Load' is one of those tracks on where my mind just gets really up and going because what it does is to, literally, say that it's time to go "home" and such a statement can be taken in so many different directions. You arrive at a point where "home" is just as much of a MENTAL place that it is a physical one. In either case, however, the vocalist is a calling for a healthy piece of change on a song which is still a real highlight from this album (and probably should've gotten more attention).
3. 'My Island Home'
Danny I gives one SWEET tribute to St. Croix on 'My Island Home', which is kind of a changeup for the album, but when you consider the vocals on this track, and the artist's vocals in general, while this tune isn't the hard-hitting social/cultural/spiritual/political-commentary, it isn't at all a grand deviation from what he does well. Oh and it's also . . . excellent.
4. 'On the Streets Again'
"Certain kind of bwoy no waan fi ease off
Certain kind of bwoy just waan fi squeeze off one
Certain kind of bwoy no want to hear talk
Certain kind of bwoy just waan fi let guns bark"
'On the Streets Again' very much is that type of social commentary I spoke of not being on the previous selection. What I'm focusing on so much from this one these days is just how passionate Danny I is in delivering it. He doesn't really have a set for "urgency", but if he did, the typically extremely laid back singer would probably use it to sound how he does on this song which definitely warrants it.
5. 'Sometimish Rastaman' featuring Sabbattical Ahdah
Hearing music from Sabbattical Ahdah, who guests on 'Sometimish Rastaman' . . . can be kind of frustrating. The chanter is fantastic - a huge talent - but he can be so damn inactive and invisible that you well wish he'd voice for someone who'd actually put his music out (like maybe . . . I Grade Records?) even remotely consistent. Here we have a next song which well displays the skillset of Ahdah, who makes a mighty musical pairing with Danny I on one of the most immediately recognizable and signature pieces here ["I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be . . ."].
6. 'Royal Line'
Live up. I hadn't heard 'Royal Line' in awhile. It's probably been at least a few months or so and as soon as I played it again for the sake of this post, it seemed like I hadn't actually stopped listening to it from the first time I'd heard it. I LOVE the way this song comes across because what we, essentially, have is Danny I saying to everyone to DO BETTER. You ancestry and your bloodline shows that you come from much better than you're showing - so it's time to "stop wasting Jah time" and begin to live a better life for yourself. Outstanding.
7. 'Pure Lovers Rock' featuring Dushane
Obviously the largest and most easily identified quality of 'Pure Lover's Rock' is the fact that it comes through across the same riddim Toussaint uses for his big 'Be You' single. It makes a fine usage of the composition which will likely forever be linked with that big tune (and deservedly so). Dushane is also on board on the cavity causing creation which is absolutely perfect for Danny I and he should do more similarly vibed pieces in my opinion.
8. 'Tu Confusión'
The Pura Vida Riddim takes over for the Spanish voiced moment of "To Your Majesty", 'Tu Confusión'. I still would like to, some day, go through the written words of this track. In terms of listening to Spanish, I'm HORRIBLE, but I can read it decently and the bits that I can piece through on what appears to be a social commentary, are definitely intriguing.
9. 'Nuh Hard Fi Do'
In full, I think that this album is the type which gets better as we go further and further from its release date. When Danny I releases his next album, or the next after the next, whenever that might happen, I can easily see a whole heap of people going back and remembering/learning just how strong the "To Your Majesty" album really was. That's already started to occur for me - this type of aged enhancement - in some respects and there is maybe only a single greater example from the album than on 'Nuh Hard Fi Do' [see track #11]. I did well enjoy it from the first time I heard the tune, but its now become one of my favourite songs on this album. I liken it very much to 'Royal Line' as far as the direction of both songs, but where this song seems to is in its approach. There's just something about the way in which 'Nuh Hard Fi Do' is placed together and how SMART it comes across that is so musically attractive. I wouldn't be at all entirely shocked if a few years on this track has even surpassed the title track for my affections. It's that good.
10. 'Never Lay Down' featuring Army
On paper, 'Never Lay Down' really stands out. Danny I's good friend and exceedingly popular vocalist (who has a very passionate fan base and who really, really, really needs a new album) Ras Army signs up and joins on the track which has also grown in my tastes these days. I look at it now and of course you're struck, initially, by how much the two sound like one another, but I'm not there recently. I do love the pairing, but as it ages, there's so much of a dual-uniqueness in this call to action of a song which is, at least partially, where its strength comes from.
11. 'Over Red and Blue'
Finally, I see you! The socially and politically charged 'Over Red and Blue' is a song which I really went back and tried to focus on because I don't know that I ever really got into the lyrics of it and when I heard it for the first time in a bit, I remember thinking from one of the first spins that it was easily the type of song that could stand up for a lyrics feature (and it still is), but now having done that and REALLY dug into it, I’m inclined to say that it may feature the single finest lyrical performance on the whole of "To Your Majesty". Something really clever happens here where Danny I drifts between English and Spanish ["I see dem over deh so - just like a mouse behind a queso. All dem thinking bout - how to catch you. But dem haffi watch it with Don gato"] and doesn't at all lose momentum nor a even a particle of its ultimate impact. A brilliant song.
12. 'Hold On'
'Hold On' is and has always been absolutely delightful in every way. This song is one of the types on which the artist is really speaking to oppressed people of the world who may have a great difficulty in maintaining their course, but I've really come to take songs like this, in general, in more of a macroly micro direction. I know that makes no sense at all (as usual), but what I mean is that you take a song like this and you can really put it through wide variety of SPECIFIC situations - thus macro and micro - and you end up with a wider reaching idea. That, of course, doesn't denigrate what was its obvious intent, but it now is applicable to people really just reaching a bad point in their lives or even having a bad day or a bad job or a bad relationship or a bad anything. Anything that has hope or leads to hope which isn't going in a great direction can apply here and especially through such a vibrantly vibed tune.
13. 'All Skin'
It ah burn. 'All Skin' has all ways (did you see that?) been one of my favourite songs from the "To Your Majesty" record and nothing has changed these days. This song is stunning in full as Danny I weaves a vibes exalting and identifying the royal power of His Imperial Majesty.
14. 'Hailing Tafari'
I feel this way too. And much like the tune preceding it on the album, 'Hailing Tafari' has always been big for me and it's only gotten even more sizable. This is the singer's take on the very stringy and skeletal riddim which has appeared on a few I Grade/Zion I Kings releases over the years. Danny I is interesting because his style, inherently, is one which doesn't have to go very far (not at all) outside of itself to tap into a style like this, which is obvious when you hear the results on this MAMMOTH moment.
Obviously it was the recent winning album by Ras Batch, "Know Thyself" which triggered the idea of jumping back to the "To Your Majesty" release and really just retaking it in and having another look. Danny I has always very much had a poetic quality to his work and not just because of the laid back approach and delivery. Something about his work very much exudes the notion of the work being an extension of the worker and although you don't, ostensibly, get that from his style, it's a trait which, at least to me, DRENCHES the "To Your Majesty" album and it's one of the greatest pieces of its appeal. So, if you haven't to date (shame on you) get to know Danny I and pick up the singer's latest release, the outstanding "To Your Majesty".

BUI Defense Lawyers in Pensacola, Florida (FL)
With close to 55,000 residents, Pensacola, Florida, is a charming city and home to the United States Naval Air Station and the Blue Angels. As with many parts of Florida, Pensacola has sandy white beaches that make the city a popular tourist destination. Along with its beautiful beaches comes a variety of water sports and activities, including, among others, boating, riding jet skis or wave runners, swimming, fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, and surfing.
While water sports and activities bring enjoyment and memories, a good time can quickly become a nightmare if individuals operating a watercraft are alleged to have been operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Referred to as boating under the influence (BUI), operating a watercraft while intoxicated has extremely harsh penalties in the state of Florida. As such, anyone facing BUI charges in Pensacola will need to retain an excellent Pensacola BUI Defense Attorney to fight the criminal charges in court.
If you have been charged with BUI in Pensacola, act quickly to speak with the highly qualified and reputable Pensacola BUI Defense Attorneys at Musca Law. To find out how our legal team can help you, contact our office today by calling (888) 484-5057.
The Dangers Associated with Boating Under the Influence in Pensacola
Given that Pensacola is a beautiful place to live and visit with ample options for recreation year-round, it is not surprising that alcohol is involved in many water-related activities, including boating and using other watercraft. Many individuals consume what they believe to be a small amount of alcohol (such as 2 or 3 beers) and think they can safely operate a boat.
However, even a few beers can impair a person’s ability to operate a boat or other watercraft safely. Operating a boat, especially in the ocean where there can be large waves, is already difficult without the involvement of alcohol. As such, adding alcohol to the mix (or drugs) can create a situation where boaters are at risk of sustaining severe injuries or death.
Unfortunately, some people underestimate just how dangerous alcohol can be, and often assume that boating under the influence is not even comparable to driving under the influence. With the significant number of boats in Pensacola waters, boating under the influence can be just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than driving under the influence.
Pensacola, Florida BUI Laws
Under Florida law, Statute Section 327.35, it is unlawful for an individual to operate a boat or other type of watercraft while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Like driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs while operating a vehicle, a person may be found guilty of boating under the influence if the following elements are satisfied:
- The person is operating a boat or watercraft in the state of Florida;
- The person is under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs to the extent the person’s “normal faculties are impaired”;
- The person has a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or more grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood; or
- The person has a breath-alcohol level of 0.08 or more grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.
Florida’s BUI laws do not entirely prohibit operating a boat or watercraft while drinking. A person could conceivably have one or two beers and not (1) show a diminishment in his/her mental faculties, or (2) have a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.
However, any amount of alcohol can impair a person’s ability to operate a boat or watercraft, and Florida law enforcement officials take boating while under the influence (even just a little bit) very seriously. As such, the wise option is not to operate a boat or watercraft while under the influence of any amount of alcohol or drugs.
Penalties Associated with Boating Under the Influence in Pensacola
Being convicted of BUI in Pensacola can be detrimental to a person’s record and future. One incidence of operating a boat or watercraft while intoxicated can mean not only jail time, fines, probation, and a criminal record, but such a criminal conviction can harm a person’s chances of renting or purchasing a home, attending college or getting a job.
Under Florida law, an individual with a first or second BUI conviction faces the following criminal penalties:
- A fine between $500 and $1,000 for a first BUI conviction;
- A fine between $1,000 and $2,000 for a second BUI conviction;
- Jail time not to exceed six months for a first BUI conviction; and
- Jail time of at least ten days, but not to exceed nine months for a second BUI conviction.
Any person who is convicted of BUI for the third time within ten years of a prior BUI conviction is guilty of a third-degree felony, which is punishable by a fine not to exceed $5,000, and jail time of at least 30 days, but not to exceed five years. If a third BUI conviction happens more than ten years after a prior BUI conviction, the convicted person faces a fine between $2,000 and $5,000 and jail time not to exceed 12 months.
Additional Penalties Beyond Jail Time and Fines
Regardless of whether a Pensacola BUI conviction is a person’s first, second, third, or subsequent offense, the convicted person will be subject to monthly reporting probation. Additionally, the convicted person will be required to attend a substance abuse course identified by the court. For a first BUI offense, the probationary period will be no longer than 12 months. The convicted individual must also participate in community service for at least 50 hours. The boat or watercraft used in the BUI offense will be impounded for at least ten days after a first offense and at least 30 days after a second offense.
Aggravated BUI Charges in Pensacola
The severity of a BUI charge will depend not only upon the accused person’s criminal history (i.e., whether he/she has ever been convicted of a prior BUI, DUI or other crime) but also on how serious the alleged act is. For example, as is the case with Florida DUI charges, Pensacola prosecutors may seek to charge a person with aggravated BUI if his/her blood-alcohol concentration is 0.15% or higher.
Additionally, Pensacola prosecutors may have grounds to charge a person with aggravated BUI if children under the age of eighteen were on board the boat or watercraft at the time law enforcement officials stopped it. Moreover, a history of driving under the influence will undoubtedly play a role in a Pensacola prosecutor’s case when charging someone with BUI.
Why the Strength of Your Pensacola BUI Defense Attorney is So Important
While Florida statutes dictate the standard penalties for first, second, third, and subsequent BUI offenses, every BUI case will be dealt with independently. What this means is that a person charged with BUI cannot predict that he or she will have the same outcome as another individual facing a BUI charge. Even if two people have a clean criminal record, one person may face harsher penalties than the other person.
A disparity in outcome is often dependent upon the strength of an accused person’s attorney. An inexperienced Pensacola BUI Defense Attorney may not be successful in getting a BUI charge dismissed or getting the penalties reduced to a less-severe criminal charge. A more skilled Pensacola BUI Defense Attorney, on the other hand, has the experience, knowledge, dedication, reputation, and rapport with Pensacola prosecutors to help an accused person reach the best result possible. This is not to say that having the best attorney will ensure criminal charges are dismissed, but that to even have a chance at dismissing or reducing a BUI charge, it is essential to be represented by a superior Pensacola BUI Defense Attorney.
Alcohol-Related Boating Accidents in Pensacola
Criminal penalties associated with ordinary BUI charges can be harsh, but in most cases, accused persons will overcome the situation and move on with their life. However, when BUI incidents involve accidents, the stakes become much higher and the consequences harsher, especially when a person sustains serious bodily injuries or death. Depending on the water and weather conditions at the time of a Pensacola BUI incident, a minor collision could be deadly, especially at night.
Additionally, a boat could capsize and leave all passengers fending for themselves in tumultuous waters. While many people are good swimmers, being thrown from a boat or other watercraft can make it difficult to swim to safety. After all, if passengers are not wearing life jackets at all times, they do not have added security in the event they find themselves unexpectedly swimming in Pensacola waters.
Injuries associated with BUI-related accidents can be catastrophic and life-threatening. Whether a passenger is ejected from a boat upon collision with another vessel, or whether passengers are stuck underneath a capsized boat or other watercraft, the injuries could quickly become fatal. If passengers are under the influence at the time of the accident, their physical and mental abilities to act swiftly and coherently may be compromised, increasing the chances that significant injuries or death may result. Given how dangerous boating accidents are – with or without alcohol or drugs – it cannot be stressed enough how important it is for all operators and passengers to wear life jackets.
If Pensacola law enforcement officials have probable cause to believe that a person was under the influence at the time of a boating accident and was the operator of the boat or watercraft, the person faces potentially severe BUI charges, not to mention possible manslaughter charges if a person is killed. If a BUI-related accident results in property damage or minor physical injuries, the accused person faces a first-degree misdemeanor, which may result in jail time not to exceed one year and a fine not to exceed $1,000.
If a BUI-related accident results in serious bodily injuries to anyone, the accused person faces a third-degree felony, which may result in jail time not to exceed five years and a fine not to exceed $5,000. If a BUI-related accident results in death, the accused person faces a BUI manslaughter charge, which is considered a second-degree felony. A person convicted of BUI manslaughter in Pensacola faces up to fifteen years in jail and a fine not to exceed $10,000.
The BUI manslaughter conviction becomes a first-degree felony if the accused person failed to stop, identify him/herself, and render aid to the victim(s). A person convicted of BUI manslaughter in the first degree faces up to 30 years in jail and a fine not to exceed $10,000.
What Does it Mean to Operate a Vessel Under Florida BUI Laws?
When a person faces a DUI charge in Florida, prosecutors must prove that the person was behind the wheel or in control of a vehicle at the time law enforcement officers stop the vehicle. With Florida BUI charges, on the other hand, prosecutors do not need to prove that an accused person was the “operator” of the boat or watercraft at the time the boat or watercraft is stopped by law enforcement.
At the time a boat or other watercraft is stopped, it may not be obvious which person was “operating” the boat. Additionally, more than one person may be jointly operating a boat or other watercraft while on Pensacola waters. As such, a Pensacola prosecutor may not have clear evidence that an accused person was operating the boat or watercraft at the time it was stopped.
Therefore, the prosecutor will have to present other evidence to prove the accused person was operating the boat or watercraft while under the influence. One example of evidence that suggests an accused person was operating a boat is a witness’s testimony that the accused was operating and in control of the boat at the time it is stopped by law enforcement officers.
What Happens After Being Arrested on Suspicion of Boating Under the Influence in Pensacola?
If a person is arrested on suspicion of operating a boat or other watercraft in Pensacola waters while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the person can only be detained by law enforcement officials for a limited period of time. A person may be released in the following circumstances:
- Once eight hours have passed;
- Once a person’s mental faculties and abilities have come back (after the alcohol and/or drugs have worn off); or
- Once a person’s blood-alcohol concentration is 0.05% or less.
Until a person meets one of these three thresholds, he or she will remain in jail behind bars.
Pensacola Law Enforcement Officials Have Wide Discretion to Stop Boaters
Law enforcement officials heavily monitor Pensacola waters and the reason is not only to catch boaters under the influence. While law enforcement officials are certainly on the lookout for intoxicated boaters, they also are present to ensure boaters are generally safely operating boats or other watercraft and that all boats and watercraft in Pensacola waters are appropriately registered.
Pensacola law enforcement officials have the discretion to stop boaters for random safety and registration checks. It is at this time when many boaters are arrested on suspicion of boating under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Law enforcement officials may come aboard to perform the safety and registration check, notice empty beer cans, and then notice the smell of alcohol on the breath of those on board the boat or other watercraft. If so, then the Pensacola law enforcement officials may ask that the individuals on-board the boat subject themselves to breathalyzer tests and field sobriety tests.
Defending Against an Escambia County BUI Charge
While criminal charges are harsh and intimidating, there are defenses an accused person can raise to show that he or she should not be found guilty. Pensacola prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person is guilty of BUI. As such, it is not enough for prosecutors to show that a person was under the influence of alcohol or drugs while on a boat or watercraft. Under Florida law, it is not illegal to be under the influence of alcohol as a boat passenger. Prosecutors must have something more to identify an accused person as the operator of the boat.
With the assistance of a seasoned Pensacola BUI Defense Attorney, an accused person can present a strong defense that he or she was not operating the boat or other watercraft at the time it was stopped by law enforcement officials. Additional defenses may exist if a person was charged with BUI without having undergone a breathalyzer test, or a person’s field sobriety test was unfair in any way (such as being done in poor weather conditions that cause choppy waters).
Regardless of the circumstances surrounding a Pensacola BUI charge, strong legal representation can mean the difference between potential dismissal of the charge and serving significant jail time. While no guarantees can ever be made in any criminal case, finding a qualified attorney will certainly help to reach a more favorable result.
