India's Rich Farmers Might Have More Money Than The Black Money India Is Missing!
Kunwar Vikram Jeet Singh is a farmer, and he has a mansion on the outskirts of Delhi. There's a three-bedroom apartment in a gated colony in the city. His kids go to a posh school. Despite his riches, Singh doesn't pay a penny in taxes - because he's a farmer.
Thousands of such rich landowners don't pay taxes, due to laws to help hundreds of millions of poor farmers survive.The average Indian farmer has less than 2 acres (0.8 hectares) and most struggle to eat two meals a day. Singh's family farm has 100 acres.
Farming is also being used as a black money option - many buy agricultural land, declare themselves farmers, and don't pay tax, opposition lawmaker Sharad Yadav told parliament in March.
Citizens declared about $29 trillion worth of agricultural income in the year through March 2011. That's almost 15 times the value of India's economy
This number comes from a Right to Information request by a former tax officer Vijay Sharma. In the nine years through March 2016, Indians declared $21 billion as agricultural income, according to provisional data from the Revenue Department. The confusion, however, underscores the fog of uncertainty surrounding the estimates.
"It's a simple case of money laundering," said Sharma, who served in the tax department for over four decades.
Responding to Yadav, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said authorities are investigating tax evaders that include some "prominent names" and urged the opposition not cry "political victimization" when they are prosecuted. He didn't name names. The lost revenue is a blight in a nation where direct taxes as a share of the economy have fallen to the lowest in almost a decade, despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pledge to crack down on tax evasion.
With so little revenue, the government is having to borrow a gross $89 billion to help fund the government and finance spending on roads, ports, power plants and other public projects this fiscal year. The government should start taxing large farmers to reduce that debt burden, said Parthasarathi Shome, a former finance ministry adviser.
"It is a question of equity," said Shome, who also served as the chief of tax policy at the International Monetary Fund in the 1990s. "There are top-of-line farmers who are well protected by incentives and it is high time that we start thinking of taxing them."
Jaitley has ruled out imposing income tax on farmers, most of whom struggle to even feed their families from their small plots. Almost 12,500 farm workers committed suicide in 2014, junior Agriculture Minister Mohanbhai Kundariya said in April.
And taxing rich farmers is politically dangerous. Many leaders across the political spectrum come from a farming background and have considerable land holdings.
So measures to help the 833 million people who live in villages in India also benefit landowners like Singh. He can buy fertilizer at reduced rates, a subsidy that costs the government about $10 billion a year nationally, more than it spends on healthcare or higher education. Farmers also get cheaper electricity than factories or homes. Some states, like Punjab and Tamil Nadu, offer power virtually for free.
The federal government, the single biggest buyer of food crops, purchases cereals such as rice and wheat at guaranteed prices from farmers and sells grain to the poor at subsidized rates through a chain of fair-price shops across the country.
"It's a simple case of money laundering."
Such largesse hampers India's fight to curb Asia's widest budget deficit, control inflation and win faster interest rate cuts from the central bank. The combined federal and state fiscal situation is a key impediment to a rating upgrade even as Modi pledged to narrow the federal budget gap to a nine-year low of 3.5 percent of GDP this year.
Singh says he would pay tax if the government provided modern irrigation facilities to farmers and ensured regular supply of electricity instead of providing cheap power at odd hours when demand from industry ebbs.
"A farmer doesn't mind paying income tax provided he gets the right amount for his produce," said Singh, wearing Levi's jeans and gemstone finger rings, while peacocks wandered across the lawn of his house in Hapur. The land adjoining the property, with mango orchards and sugar cane, has been farmed by his family for generations. "The only difference between me and a small farmer is that I don't have to worry about my next meal."
In the February budget, Jaitley promised to double farmers' incomes and proposed a laundry-list of measures—more rural roads and irrigation, better management of groundwater, more organic farming, modern wholesale markets, increased credit and improved crop insurance.
Such measures also tend to benefit larger landowners more than poor farmers. States like Punjab and Haryana, where farms tend to be larger, get the lion's share of handouts and boast modern irrigation systems for over 80 percent of cultivated land.
"The large farmers are clearly gaining," said Shweta Saini, a consultant at the Indian Council on Research on International Economic Relations, a Delhi-based think tank. For smallholders, "whatever you are producing, you are eating."

President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed his response to President Donald Trump over the American leader’s allegation that the Nigerian government was slaughtering Christians, telling him that the problem between cattle rearers and farmers was a cultural thing rather than ethnicity or religion.
Buhari had met with Trump in Washington on April 30, 2018 to discuss among others, the issues around fighting terrorism and economic growth.
Both leaders met alone when he honoured the US president’s invitation to the White House only for Trump to accuse him of the atrocity.
President Buhari who made his closing remark at the end of the two-day ministerial performance review retreat at the presidential villa, Abuja, said he explained the problem which is older than him was caused by successive leaderships, which he said had failed the country.
The president, while applauding the first republic leadership of being the best the country has ever had, accused subsequent administrations of encroaching on cattle routes.
Digressing from his prepared text, President narrated: “I believe I was about the only African among the less developed countries the President of United States invited, and when I was in his office, only myself and himself, only God is my witness, he looked at me in the face, he said, ‘why are you killing Christians?’
“I wonder if you were the person how you will react. I hope what I was feeling inside did not betray my emotion. So, I told him that the problem between the cattle rearers and stagnant farmers I know is older than me not to talk of him (Trump). I think I am a couple of years older than him. With climate change and population growth and the culture of the cattle rearers, if you have 50 cows and they eat grass, any root to your water point, they will follow it, it doesn’t matter whose farm it was. The first republic set of leadership was the most responsible leadership we ever had. I asked the Minister of Agriculture to get a gazette of the early 60s which delineated the cattle routes where they used meagre resources then to put earth dams, wind mills even sanitary department.
“So, any cattle rearer that allowed his cattle to go to somebody’s farm is arrested, taken before the court, the farmer is called to submit his bill and if he can’t pay, the cattle are sold, but subsequent leaders, VVIPs (very very important persons) they encroached on the cattle routes, they took over the cattle rearing areas. So, I tried and explained to him, this has got nothing to do with ethnicity or religion. It is a cultural thing in which the respective leadership was failing the nation.”

INDIANAPOLIS – The headlines aren't too frequent as the NFL reaches the offseason. Today's news looks at how Trent Richardson is spending his offseason and some scheduling news from the NFL.
Take a look below at the top pieces fromThursday, February 6th.Richardson going back to schoolBy: Mike Wells, AFC South Blog
Trent Richardson might have left Alabama but he will be entrenched in "school" this offseason.
Learn, learn and learn the playbook some more. That will be his mentality as he knows the critics are still there and he knows the excuse of not knowing the Colts' offensive system can no longer be used.
Richardson spent too much time thinking when he took the handoff than running with the type of speed and force that made him the No. 3 overall pick in the 2012 draft.
"Learn the system, not just memorizing it," Richardson said. "Learning the whole concept of the system. There's a difference between having it memorized and feeling comfortable with the system. I'm going talk to a lot of veteran players, talk to Adrian (Peterson), talk to (LaDainian Tomlinson) , talk to Emmitt Smith to make sure I'm the best I need to be next year."

[Authors and titles are listed at the end of the review]
The Handbook of Ancient Afro-Eurasian Economies Volume 2: Local, Regional, and Imperial Economies is the second volume in a three-part series that analyses the economies that made up what is known as the Silk Road. This series of volumes discusses evidence from the Hellenistic Kingdoms, the Roman Empire, the Arsakid Empire, the Greek Kingdoms of Central Asia, the early historical South Asian period, and the early imperial Chinese period 300 BCE to 300 CE.
The first volume of this series focused on the historical, evidential, and historiographical contexts of these regions to provide a foundation for the discussions in the following volumes regarding trans-imperial connectivity. This volume aims to survey the economic structures and developments in the ancient Afro-Eurasian world. To achieve this the authors use several different frameworks such as globalisation and network theory to develop models of economic connectivity throughout the region.
This volume comprises three main parts (Part 1: Actors, Part 2: Tools, and Part 3: Processes) along with two “prelude” chapters and an “excursus.” It takes a straightforward approach to the topic and is for the most part effective in conveying the complexities of each of these unique ancient economies.
The Prelude begins with two chapters discussing the application of globalisation theory to the ancient world and definitions of the local, regional, and imperial economies. Milinda Hoo’s chapter quickly summarises the main concepts of globalisation (and its later iteration, glocalisation), the various arguments surrounding the applicability of modern anthropological and business concepts to ancient economies, and the positive and negative aspects that need to be considered. This discussion is useful for any reader who is delving into globalisation studies for the first time and serves as a very effective introduction to the topic.
The second chapter of the prelude by Sitta von Reden uses Palmyra to illustrate how ancient cities could operate on varying economic scales and how globalisation theory can be applied to the ancient economy. She analyses the imperial economy and market development by establishing how cities participated in the local, regional, and imperial economies in the Afro-Eurasian region and looking at economic growth and global activity. This chapter previews many of the themes that are discussed in the rest of the volume.
“Part 1: Actors” breaks down the different contributors to ancient economies: suppliers, those responsible for the transportation of goods, merchants, elite, monarchs, and even non-human actors such as religion, laws, and networks. “Part 2: Tools” switches its focus to the methods through which the economy was facilitated, such as fiscal regimes, various forms of monetisation (barter exchange, bullion, coined money, and credit), infrastructure (both physical and legal), standardisation (of weights, language, and consumption patterns), and the use of technology. “Part 3: Processes” brings the discussion in the two preceding parts together to demonstrate how the economies of each of the regions developed between 300 BCE and 300 CE. While some of the content in these closing chapters repeats material that was discussed in great detail in Parts 1 and 2, it primarily discusses how the actors and the tools used in these regions came together and transformed economic processes over time.
A theme that becomes apparent throughout this volume is the influence of the Hellenistic period and the innovations it brought to the wider Afro-Eurasian region. Alexander the Great’s conquest of the Persian Empire and the division of his Empire among his successors allowed for the widespread exchange of information, culture, and technology. This brought with it a greater degree of urbanisation and monetisation which came with the increasing necessity for trade both locally and inter-regionally both for essentials (food, textiles, etc.) and for elite luxuries (spices, exotic animals, premium textiles, etc.). These developments led to higher levels of mobility across the Afro-Eurasian area. The authors associate two primary developments with this period’s increased level of connectivity: first, the emergence of a middling class of consumer in the ancient world facilitated a large amount of inconspicuous but vital exchange and directed popular consumption trends (often incorporating foreign luxuries popularised by the local elite); secondly, the shift to coinage for the payment of taxation forced the populace to interact with a centralised market to fulfil this state demand. Many of the economies detailed in this volume either display similar weight standards for coinage (e.g., the Attic standard) or make use of a common language to better facilitate trade, thus reducing overall transaction costs and making inter-regional commerce more accessible. The authors of this volume are careful not to claim that such economic developments are standardised across the Afro-Eurasian space but rather show that many places demonstrate deviations from the Graeco-Roman model to better suit the locality.
The authors exhaustively discuss their topics in light of current scholarship . However, the reader is left wanting more cohesion between chapters. The introduction states that globalisation and network theory will be used to develop models of economic connectivity and economic trends at a global, Afro-Eurasian, scale. Very little of this inter-regional connectivity is actually discussed. While some essays, such as Mamta Dwivedi’s discussion of early historic South Asia and Kathrin Leese-Messing’s of early imperial China make frequent reference to direct contact or influence between their respective cultures and the Graeco-Roman world or how these economies were expressly different, many of the chapters are very much focused on their specific regions and often leave it up to the reader to make these connections themselves. Without such discussion, much of the volume only provides summaries of how ancient economies functioned and developed during the chronological limits of the volume. It appears that the subject of connectivity will be the primary subject of the third volume of this series, which will focus on the inter-imperial frontier zones in Afro-Eurasia.
The Excursus, ‘Constituting Local and Imperial Landscapes’, demonstrates the value of looking at physical geographies and environments from a global perspective. Humans were not the only actors who shaped the economies of the ancient world, but rather, these landscapes should be seen as economic actors in their own right. For example, the Red Sea coastline provided several opportunities for fishing and port activity to all of its communities, but it also hindered agriculture with its scorching sun and hilly terrain. Places such as the ‘Hexi’ corridor in China and the piedmonts of Central Asia facilitated long-distance trade and communication of ideas and technology. At the same time, the ‘Hexi’ corridor provided a barrier to north-south communication and the harsh landscapes of the piedmonts of Central Asia meant that transit and trade focused on certain locations, such as the ‘Iron Gates’ pass between northern Bactria and Sogdiana.
The Excursus further shows that there was an interplay between these landscapes and those that existed within them: a single landscape could represent different opportunities or challenges to different economic actors. To long-distance travellers, the forests of South Asia might represent an obstacle to transit and therefore the hardest part of their journey. In contrast, to local communities forests were their agricultural fields, providing valuable economic opportunities for resource extraction such as medicinal plants. Forest dwellers saw the forest as a producer of elephant companions while state actors used these elephants as valuable gifts to the king or as war machines. The ‘Iron Gates’ pass provided both a convenient transit space amongst the mountainous landscape for long-distance actors, and also an easily defended and controlled military frontier for imperial agents. The authors of this chapter argue that landscapes should not be seen as static physical spaces but rather as subjective experiences which differed depending on those who interacted with them.
The authors should be applauded for their efforts in assembling this volume. It is certainly a unique publication in regard to its scope and it provides a very informative starting point for other such discussions in our field. It is an essential reference for how the economies of the ancient Afro-Eurasian world functioned and these inter-regional studies open up significant space for novel ideas to emerge which hopefully will be fully addressed in the forthcoming final volume of this series regarding inter-imperial frontier zones.

 See p. 356 in this volume which compares the interregional royal coinages of the Hellenistic period to the limited and uneven coinage of the Achaemenid Empire. This concept is discussed in Lauren Morris’ chapter on economic development under the Greek kingdoms of Central Asia to the Kushan empire. Morris argues that it is the use of a similar lingua franca, such as Greek and later Latin, and similar weights and measures meant that people could negotiate common ground and lower transaction costs, giving the local population easy access to a much larger economic market.
 Several examples of coinage struck at standards specifically for inter-regional or Empire-wide trade are cited. For example, the Indo-Greek coinages were minted at an exchangeable standard to be used in both Bactria and Gandhara (ch. 9, II, 3). The authors suggest that these coins were not only used by imperial agents for taxation and royal expenditure, but also by regional and local actors who participated in wider commercial spheres in both the Hellenistic and Indic worlds. Further, the coinage of Seleukos I had denominations minted at an Attic standard for wider Hellenistic exchange and another at a Persian standard for local use (ch. 8B, III).
 See chapter 15 for the lack of private trade associations during the Former Han Period, rather opting to let this be operated by in-house organisation that acted in service of the state. These trade networks were based on relatively fixed groups based on kinship and neighbourhoods.
 As stated in Sitta von Reden’s introduction to the second volume on page 3.
 The Egyptians contrasted this dangerous ‘Red Land’ with their own comfortable ‘Black Land’ along the Nile valley. The Greeks and Romans described the Red Sea region as a land inhabited by strange people who were barely human. For more see Reger, G.

Flea Market Managers Disappointed in Draft Eastern Market Legislation – Future of Flea Markets in Doubt
by Larry Janezich
The two managers of Eastern Market’s weekend flea markets are unhappy with the draft version of legislation to create a new governing authority for Eastern Market circulated by Councilmember Wells.
According to Michael Berman, manager of the Sunday flea market, and Carol Wright, manager of the Saturday flea market, the bill is “sloppily written,” leaving them and their vendors without the protection offered to the vendors who operate inside the Market, on 7th Street and on the sidewalks around Eastern Market and the Natatorium; the draft bill also makes no provision for continuing the weekend flea markets at anything more than half the size of the current markets.
As written now, the legislation would create a new Eastern Market Historic Special Use District encompassing all of the area currently occupied by vendors, including those operating on the Hine playground, as well as other areas such as 7th Street between C Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, and the to-be-reopened C Street between 7th and 8th Streets, SE, which will or could be used for future locations of the flea market once the construction and operation of the Hine Development begins.
All vending operations in the newly defined Special Use District would come under the control of the Trust, an entity that the bill will establish to govern Eastern Market. The legislation does not prohibit the Trust from contracting out the flea market operations to Berman and Wright, but it offers no guarantee that it will do so.
Regardless, Berman asserts that the developers of the Hine project – Stanton Eastbanc – have raised unrealistic expectations about how many of the current flea market vendors can be accommodated in the only space that is presently allotted for their use: part of the newly reopened C Street and the “public plaza” which is represented by a widening of C Street where it meets 7th Street, diagonally across from Eastern Market.
The developer claims there is room for 68 10 x 10 foot tents – a little more than half of the current Sunday flea market on a busy day. In their original proposal, Stanton Eastbanc provided for 90 10 x 10 foot spaces, but the current design yields only the lower figure (68). Berman says that the plan is not workable because it does not take into account the logistics of setting up tents in such a confined space, provides aisles which are too narrow, does not take into account impedances such as trees and bollards, and notes that there is only one elevator to service the vendors who will have 50 parking spaces set aside in the project for their use on weekends. Berman estimates that not more than 40 vendors will be able to set up on C Street and the public plaza and predicts a logistical nightmare for setting up these few.
The Eastern Market Legislation holds out the possibility that 7th Street between C Street and Pennsylvania Avenue could be closed to accommodate vendors who will not find space on the newly opened C Street. Berman estimates that perhaps 50 vendors could set up on this section of 7th Street, but the legislation says nothing about authority to close this part of 7th. How the “brick and mortar” merchants on the west side of the street between Eastern Market and Pennsylvania Avenue will react to a proposal to close the street is unknown – but their counterparts opposite Eastern Market are known to be unhappy about former Mayor Fenty closing that section of 7th on weekends by fiat.
Councilmember Wells will address community concerns on these and other issues at a public meeting on Tuesday, May 22, from 6:30pm – 8:00pm at Brent Elementary School, 301 North Carolina Avenue, SE.
Important dates in the development’s future are as follows:
June 7, 2012 – DC City Council Committee of the Whole hearing on Eastern Market Bill
June 14, 2012 – Planned Unit Development (PUD) Hearing before DC Zoning Commission
January – October 2012 – Construction Drawings Completed
September 2012 – Submit request for Building Permits
April 2013 – Start Building Construction

As we consider the future of democracy and the values by which we live, I want to share my original work of five decades. The work is the creation of #Cybercommunities. The foundation of my thinking is that we can live completely without automobiles. I do not propose that we eliminate the car entirely, only that it is possible.
We could design a walkable community that is protected from most weather.
It would require no cars for internal transportation. It would be accessible by foot from end to end and from side to side. There would be a maximum of four levels. Someone with a taste for good exercise could walk or jog the entire community without passing the same place. Such a community would be no more than a mile across.
Going car free
I call these mile-wide units cybercommunities because they are intended to become a product of the exploding cyber tech world which, as Buckminster Fuller predicted, moves from small to large. I have designed such communities to hold around 10,000 persons.
I have assumed most would work within their community but I see cyber communities as a general model for duplication as needed. It would not be the only form of habitation but it would suggest a move toward local democracy, a more convivial society a vastly more helpful model for security and wellness than today's urban designs provide.
Killing the car-oil economy
By making cars unnecessary, we thrust a stake into the heart of today's car-oil economy.
And we open the way for a vastly more lucrative enterprise--the manufacture of the modular elements of all cybercommunities.
Do you remember the Betamax VCR days when one of these products was deemed a winner and the other went wherever it went? We do not want a repetition of that. But if the specs for the modular elements of cybercommunities are uniform, they can be made by any and all. Instead of selling cars and houses, we would be creating and marketing the elements of spaces.
I have proposed that cybercommunities be highly flexible, more like stage settings and less like fixed structures sunk into foundations. I propose that these spatial elements be housed in what I have called a matrix. That will be the theme of a future article.

Lake Shore approves 2014 road project cost estimates
The Lake Shore City Council on Monday, Nov. 25, approved the following 2014 road project cost estimates:
• Jacob’s Road: $43,800 for 800 feet of road sub-grade reconstruction and repaving.
• 72nd Street: $87,000 for 2,650 feet of road paving. This is a joint assessed project with Loon Lake Township. Estimated costs are: Lake Shore (65 percent), $65,377; and Loon Lake Township (35 percent), $35,203.
Of Lake Shore’s portion, the city would pay $26,150 (40 percent); and property owners would pay the assessed portion (60 percent) of $39,226.
• Diana Drive: $53,400 for 1,335 feet of pavement reconstruction.
• Doyle Parkway: $29,500 for 330 feet of road reconstruction and storm pond construction.
All projects include a 10 percent contingency fee. The council also approved an engineering proposal with Widseth Smith Nolting engineering firm for $28,900.
Total estimated construction costs for 2014 street improvements are $172,170, which is figured after the city is reimbursed its share for the 72nd Street project. In other road business, the council decided not to stripe Jacob’s Road, despite a citizen’s request to do so on two hills for safety, because of liability and because other roads aren’t striped.


Illegal Parking Reported Outside Shops Near JB Checkpoint
Since the reopening of the Johor Bahru (JB) checkpoint, it’s been much easier for people to travel between Singapore and Johor.
However, some drivers apparently resort to parking along the road near the checkpoint, affecting the nearby shops.
Malaysian authorities have since taken action and towed the illegally parked cars away.
Most of the vehicles reportedly belong to Malaysians who park their cars there for long hours as they make their way over to Singapore for work.

According to China Press, the parking lots in the commercial areas and storefronts along Jalan Lumba Kuda in JB’s Bukit Chagar area are constantly occupied by vehicles.
As such, there is a shortage of parking spaces, severely disrupting businesses in the neighbourhood.
Furthermore, there are also cases of vehicles parked indiscriminately near the JB checkpoint, attracting the attention of the authorities.
Some Facebook users shared that authorities recently launched a mass towing operation of illegally parked vehicles.
The law enforcement team of the Johor Bahru City Council has also been patrolling the city centre to crack down on illegal parking practices.
Illegally parked vehicles disrupting businesses
Speaking to China Press, some store owners revealed that there were also motorcycles occupying the parking lots.
They noted that this problem existed even before the reopening of the checkpoints, but worsened recently.
This was because the motorcycle parking lot beside the Sultan Iskandar building was closed in December last year, they explained.
Thus, motorists flocked to the commercial district along Jalan Lumba Kuda to park there instead.
China Press states that most of these vehicles belong to Malaysians who cross the Causeway to go to work in Singapore.
Apparently, after parking their vehicles in front of the shops in the early hours of the morning, they would walk to the JB checkpoint to clear customs.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of parking spaces, the store owners received multiple complaints from customers.
As customers were unable to find parking lots, they decided to patronise other shops.
Hence, the store owners hope that the authorities will consider building more multi-storey car parks or introducing more feeder bus services in the area.
To alleviate the issue, some store owners rented units and launched a ticketing system to charge motorcyclists who wanted to park there.
Authorities tow illegally parked cars away
The mayor of the Johor Bahru City Council has also warned travellers against parking outside the shops. This is to ensure that businesses won’t be affected.
In an interview with China Press, he stated that authorities would tow away illegally parked vehicles.
There are many parking lots near the checkpoint that can accommodate more vehicles, he added.

The offshore oil and gas market remains widely depressed. Troubled outfit Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. has fallen to a FRISK® score of “1,” which indicates severe financial distress.
Brexit uncertainty has broadly reduced business confidence in the U.K. and future operating performance may be affected, regardless of which way the final Brexit decision goes.
More than a decade after the Great Recession, the reality remains that as patterns of credit cycles are historically predictable, you can't ever let your guard down as a financial risk assessor.
When the FRISK® score becomes your go-to metric for financial risk analysis, incredibly accurate (read: good) adjustments follow.
While risk analysis professionals may be tempted to use the statistical FRISK® score as a component within a different model, such as one that is rules-based, doing so may generate suboptimal results.
Pier 1 Imports, Inc.'s management is hyper-focused on turning around the business, but don’t let other scoring methods (including the PAYDEX® score) mislead you.
One of the largest department store collapses of the last several years, the downfall of Debenhams Plc was foretold long ago by our FRISK® score.
Just like tariffs, supplier financial risk has become an important category to monitor by company procurement departments. If this isn't on your radar today, it should be.
It’s rare to see a consumer staple food processing company falling into financial distress, but CreditRiskMonitor’s FRISK® score on the Dean Foods Company has been signaling elevated risk to our subscribers for more than a year.
The helicopter industry has seen three major bankruptcies in the last few years. Could we see a fourth? Unsecured creditors should take heed.
Although the story can be significantly different for every single public company that finds itself faced with bankruptcy, there's one familiar trend: payment data repeatedly misses the risk.
The FRISK® score cuts through the “cloaking effect” by identifying financially stressed companies with a differentiated and proprietary method that doesn't rely on payment history.

A few years ago I was asked by a friend, who also happens to be a very talented photographer, how she could become famous on Instagram. I replied, “I wish I knew, it’s always been my ambition to become famous on Instagram.”
She replied, “Well, it’s simple, you just have to be nice!”
I laughed and said, “What do you mean?”
She answered, “Just like you, everyone wants to be known as kind, caring, intelligent and funny. Well, it doesn’t matter what kind of a personality you have, people want to know that you care about them and your opinion counts, so try to always be the same, be kind, funny and caring! And don’t worry about whether people are interested in what you have to say or not, they will follow you, because they will find out about your posts in time and they will like them!”
Then I asked myself, “What would I advise any photographer to do, who is starting out on Instagram?”
I asked again my friend who told me, “Just be kind, friendly, nice, caring, and share everything you feel. You will be famous on Instagram.”
I thought for a while and then I said, “Well, that’s easy, but how? How could you be friendly, nice, caring, intelligent and funny when you don’t know anything about photography?”
She replied, “You don’t need to know much about photography to become famous on Instagram. Just start your Instagram account and post beautiful images of what you love. If you see beautiful images that inspire you, copy them and post them.”
And she was right, we all know the power of the image and the feeling it can give. People want to feel good and beautiful. And the best way to make people feel good is by posting images they will like. So, just start!
Here are some tips:
1. Be nice!
We have all met people who we really don’t like. We dislike their smile, their behavior or we simply don’t like their personality. But, they are still human beings. That means they want to be liked and appreciated. When you like someone, you automatically make them feel better about themselves and they will try to return the favor. If you are nice to your partner, kids or friends, you will be very popular.
2. Show your personality!
Your personality is reflected in the way you behave. If you are a caring person, you will post images of those you care about. When you don’t post photos of those you care about, you will appear cold and unloving.
If you are kind and caring, you will post beautiful images that will inspire others.
You don’t need to have perfect skills, just post beautiful images that you find inspirational or like.
The images you choose to post should tell your audience what makes you happy. The more you talk about what you like, the more you will share the images of those you like, which will make you famous on Instagram.
3. Share what inspires you!
We all know how important it is to share our passions, our hobbies and the things we love with people who appreciate them and support us. Instagram allows us to do that easily by posting images that we find beautiful. If you love art, photography, travel, fashion, food or anything else, you will want to share it with the world. You will find so many people who share your interests and can help you develop your career. And if you are a photographer, a fashion designer, a writer, an artist or an actor, you will be able to find a new audience for your work and make money from your images and photos.
4. Join groups
There are many different groups on Instagram where you can find other photographers who share your interests. You can also join the groups that other photographers have created to discuss their work, post creative ideas, receive feedback, meet other photographers and more.
5. Create a business page
Creating a business account on Instagram allows you to create an image that represents your business. You can add text and other media to your profile and start creating a brand identity for your photography business. A well-designed business page will help attract your potential customers to see what you have to offer.
6. Become a popular photographer in your area
If you are a talented photographer, and you are good at taking photos, you should be able to become a popular photographer in your area. There are many ways to do this such as attending local events, going to your local library, community center, schools or businesses, and more.
7. Show others what you are passionate about
You don’t need to be a professional photographer or a writer, but it’s a good idea to show others what you like, what you like to do or what you are passionate about. This way, they will become interested in you and may even follow you.
8. Keep learning
Keep learning how to be kind, nice, friendly, intelligent, caring and funny.
Try to practice these qualities when you are with your friends or family.
9. Post interesting images
Posting beautiful images of those who inspire you, and of things you enjoy doing, will give your audience something to talk about. Your images will appear as a stream of images that people will see and share.
Instagram is not just for posting photos. It is a great platform to post creative photos that you take yourself. It is a very personal platform so try to make your photos more interesting by using filters and photo editing apps to improve them. Don’t forget to use good lighting and keep your camera steady.
10. Share your interests
When you share what you love and enjoy, you make your audience feel better about themselves. They will feel more connected to you and you will have people to support you.
11. Post often
The key to making yourself known on Instagram is to keep sharing your images. You need to post at least once a day and try not to wait too long between posts.
You can make your posts more interesting by adding links to other Instagram accounts you follow, using hashtags in your caption or simply using captions that are more engaging.
12. Take professional photos
Professional photographers usually get paid to take photos for their clients. You can find freelance photography jobs on various websites such as Upwork, Peopleperhour, Freelance, Fiverr and more.
13. Ask for feedback on your photos
You should ask for feedback on your photos because not everyone likes the same types of photos. Some people like a certain type of photo while others don’t. If you receive feedback from your clients you will know what kind of photos you should post in future.
14. Promote your work
After you have taken photos that you want to share with others you should promote them on social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Try to use hashtags and keywords in your posts so that your posts get noticed by other people who are interested in your work. This will help to increase your reach and exposure on other social media platforms.
15. Network with other photographers
It is very easy to find other photographers on Instagram. You can simply follow and unfollow them and this will allow you to stay connected with the other photographers in your area. You can also find other photographers in your local area and start networking with them.
16. Create your own style
After you have taken lots of photos and learned how to improve them, you should develop your own style. Your style is your signature as a photographer so try to create your own unique style. Don’t forget to use filters and photo editing apps to make your photos look more interesting and unique.
17. Use social media marketing strategies
When using social media, you need to remember that most people use Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Try to keep your profile updated with new photos and interesting posts. Make sure that your posts are relevant to your customers and followers.
18. Follow the latest trends in photography
Keep an eye on what the current trends are in photography and try to be creative with your photos. You can take inspiration from popular photographers in your area and see what they have posted recently.
19. Build an email list
One way to get more clients is to build an email list. You can create a subscription form for your website and you will receive emails from your new subscribers. Try to keep your emails short and concise and include relevant links to your website and other social media platforms.
20. Don’t forget to thank your followers
Thanking your followers is very important because it shows that you care about them and their opinions. It’s also a good way of encouraging them to come back to see what you have been up to in the past few weeks or months.
21. Use video marketing
If you want to reach more people on Instagram, then use video marketing. Videos are more engaging than photos so make sure that you have lots of great videos.
22. Follow others
Instagram is an online photo sharing platform which allows you to post images and videos with your own description. It has over 500 million users and growing by the day. The Instagram network connects you with other users who may share similar interests as you. You can find like minded photographers in your area and even meet up with them to shoot together. You can also follow the latest trends in photography and get inspiration from their pictures and videos. Instagram is a great social media platform for photographers to interact with other photographers, share their photos and receive feedback on their work.
If you like the posts of other photographers or bloggers, follow them. If you see an image that inspires you, like it, comment on it and share it. This way, the creator of the image will know you liked it and may follow you. When you post your images on the social media, do not flood the feed of your followers with too many images. Make sure you post about your photography, not just your cat, or the weather.
There are many well-known photographers on Instagram such as: David Slade, Anastasia Vashukevich, Dafina Khristova, Michael Shafran, Daniela Sartori, John Paul Gorman, Michael Halsband, David Lachowetzky, and many more. These Instagram photographers have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of followers.
23. Good captions to attract the attention of other people
Simple captions can help you become an Instagram famous photographer and be on everyone’s lips as an amazing photo influencer who has a large following and is loved by thousands of people around the world. The best photographers have their own style of photography, so it is important that you understand your own. Try different techniques and experiment with different styles to find what works for you. Once you have mastered your skills, you can show off your photography talents with stunning pictures that will make others smile and think.
Photography is all about capturing the right moment. This can be difficult if you have no experience or the time to practice. However, once you have mastered your skills, it is possible to capture some amazing images.
If you want to use filters, you will need to learn how to use them and experiment with different styles to find what works for you. Once you have mastered your photography skills, it is possible to capture some amazing images that will make people smile and think.
To get started, you need to invest in a good quality camera and learn how to use it. The first thing you should do is to take a class where you will be taught how to use the camera’s features and how to take photos. After you have practiced a little, you can start posting some of your photos on Instagram. You could even start your own photography business if you have the right skills and equipment. It can be quite an exciting hobby and you can show off your skills and be a part of the global community that is the internet.
When you are taking photos of a friend or family member, try to capture them with a natural pose. This means that they are not posed, looking directly at the camera. Instead, they should be looking in a natural way. Take a few shots and see what looks best.
Today, we live in a world where social media is more popular than ever before. And it’s no wonder why. It’s easier than ever to share content and connect with people who are interested in the same things as you.
Instagram has become the go-to app for most people, and if you’re not on it yet, you’re really missing out on a lot of great opportunities to grow your business. We hope that this article will help you to become a better and famous photographer on Instagram.

These four easy-to-serve mason jar dessert ideas for any party are easy to make, single-serving, no-bake solutions to top off dinner or grace a dessert buffet. Combine slices of cake or individual brownies, ice cream, fruits, and more to delight your guests or customers. Be prepared to create visually appealing desserts by buying a supply of disposable, recyclable plastic mason jars in bulk from CMJJ Gourmet.
Pie in a Jar
It doesn’t matter if you made the crust from scratch or bought prepared crust, you can break it up and use it as the base of a pie in a jar dessert using mason jars. For graham cracker crusts, lightly sprinkle your crumbled crust into the bottom of the jar. Top the crumble with any cooked or otherwise ready-to-eat filling, from pumpkin to key lime, chocolate pudding to baked apples. Repeat to make layers, top it all off with whipped cream, and voila! You’ve got a single-serving pie in a jar. Refrigerate until it’s time to serve.
Classic Strawberry Shortcake
Shortcake? Check. Fresh strawberries? Check. Whipped cream? Check. You can even go off-book and substitute vanilla ice cream for whipped cream at the last minute, layering it all in a mason jar. This classic summer dessert is the perfect finale for any party but is especially well suited to summer garden parties. Assemble right before serving to ensure the whipped cream is fresh and the ice cream is still frozen when you bring these immediately recognizable treats out to serve.
Cake and Icing Stack
Nobody ever really eats just one cupcake, right? And when was the last time a kid refused a second slice of cake? Include seconds by stacking iced cupcakes or cake squares in a mason jar. Add sprinkles, chocolate sauce, ice cream, or a cookie to top off your stack, and watch your guests dig in.
Banana Pudding and Vanilla Cookies
All you need is a box of vanilla wafer cookies and a banana pudding mix. Prepare the pudding according to the instructions, and layer it with the cookies in a mason jar. Top with whipped cream and more cookies, or just make a crunchy crumble of vanilla wafers atop banana slices. Whether your guests remember the original recipe or not, everyone will recognize this delightful treat that combines smooth and crunchy textures in a sweet and flavorful mix.
Plastic mason jars in bulk from CMJJ Gourmet will make preparing these no-bake desserts easy and fun, enabling you to assemble multiple, ready-to-eat servings quickly.

Daily Teachings of the Masters
uesday, March 22, 2016
Love is the name of the game. Are you interested? Will you play? In other words, you are being asked to love everything to wholeness now. To wake up to your 5th dimensional self. “Well, how exactly how do I go about doing that?” You see, the world lives in fear, the world lives in pain 24-7. It is true. But not for long. As you merge with your 5th dimensional self, you will realize the answer quite simply is to merge, to stay consistent with the energy, the space of Love. You see, your “fearful 3rd dimensional self” is needing you, your energy, your power, your direction. So like a good parent, whatever arises, hug yourself etherically and remind yourself, love is here, love is present. That is the winning ticket. That will bring you out of the shadows of death in no time. Love yourself, bring love to yourself no matter what the experience, no matter what emotion may be surfacing, no matter what memory just arrived, no matter what the external phenomena. Remind yourself continuously that love is present now. It will change everything. And so it is.

This is my Uncle Scotty pictures above. He was married to my aunt at one time and the adopted my cousins Maddy many years ( maybe 14 ) back. They are now divorced but I still consider him my uncle and always will. He is fun and very active.
I thought I would write a post about him because he was featured on our Fox 9 Morning News this morning ( 5 times actually I saw it played ). My Uncle Scotty is an Inventor. He actually lives in a big barn ( that is awesome ) and he is able to work right from home on all of his inventions.
He was featured on the News Today for his Sky Ride.
It all started in his barn and now has gone from a Dream to a Reality.
It started back in 1985 as a sketch that he threw together he then turned it into a reality in 1995 by taking the drawing and actually building the machine and track.
So what is the Sky Ride.
Well it is a Bike / Rower that is suspended in the air connected to a track above.
I have seen it in his yard and been on it once. Seemed like a crazy idea a few years ago when we where there and it is even more crazy to know now all the ideas they have planned for this Sky Bike.
My Uncle has not only invented that though. He has invited a few different things.
I remember riding the Row Bike ( with training wheels ) at family get events when I was younger and I remember going on a ski trip and seeing his Penguins at the ski resorts.
His biggest invention by far was the ROLLERBLADE.
Yes you heard me right he invented the 1st in line skate here in Minnesota back in the 80's. He is in the process of writting a story about how it all started, how the Wheels Got Rolling!
Here are a few facts about the Rollerblade and when it all started.
In 1979, brothers Scott and Brennan Olson, of Minneapolis, Minnesota found antique skates with wheels placed in a straight line on the skate's sole. The Olsons redesigned the skate by using polyurethane wheels on the bottom of hockey boots. The Olsons also added a rubber toe brake.
In 1983, the Olsons founded Rollerblade Inc. to mass produce their new invention. Rollerblade Inc. was the first company to mass produce the "in line" type of roller skate.
Rollerblades were the first commercially successful in-line Roller Skates. Minnesota students Scott and Brennan Olson invented them in 1980, when they were looking for a way to practice Hockey during the off-season. Their design was an ice hockey boot with 3 inline wheels instead of a blade.
I want to keep this memory for my girls.
As this is a great memory to have and I would also love to get his book when it comes out so that they can one day read about his trial and errors and how he got passed all the people who turned him down.

After the famous 'megxit', the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have kept their appearances to the bare minimum. Baby Archie too has normally been kept away from the camera. But on the occasion of Archie Mountbatten Windsor's birthday, the couple decided to put up an adorable video.
The video that seems to be recorded by Prince Harry shows baby Archie in Meghan Markle's lap. Meghan is seen sitting on a beige couch and reading Archie's favorite book, 'Duck! Rabbit!' to him. Meghan is wearing a denim shirt and shorts with her hair pulled back in her signature lose bun. baby Archie is wearing a white t shirt.
The video was posted on the official Instagram page of Save The Children and hopes to raise some funds. The video was captioned, "Duck! Rabbit!" read by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. THANK YOU to Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex (and Harry, The Duke of Sussex, behind the camera), for celebrating their son Archie's first birthday by reading "Duck! Rabbit!" for @savewithstories! Happy birthday, Archie!"
Meghan and Harry recently moved to Los Angeles before the lockdown was imposed. The couple were also spotted delivering essentials to families to their doorstep. The former senior members of the royal family had earlier announced the formation of a new non-profit organisation named Archewell after their son.
Archie was born on May 6, 2019, and celebrated his first birthday this year. It's unclear if the couple would have flown to the UK under normal circumstances. Archie is seventh in line to the throne behind his father, Prince Harry. He is also the eight great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth. However, he is referred to as Master Archie because his parents want to raise him as a private citizen and not a royal. Baby Archie does not hold any titles unlike his cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Miniature schnauzers are easily recognized by the mustache, beard, and bushy eyebrows that give them their distinctive, almost-human appearance. Their ancestors, the larger standard schnauzers, were used as working farm dogs who pulled carts and hunted rats. Mini schnauzers inherited the curiosity, perseverance, and adaptability that help make them a favorite family pet. Generally a healthy dog, the miniature schnauzer life expectancy is between 12 and 15 years.

Identifying a mini schnauzer's color
Three colors of mini schnauzers are accepted by the AKC: salt and pepper, black and silver, and solid black. The salt and pepper coloring can be dark or light, including tan, and often fades to white in the eyebrows, whiskers, cheeks, throat, ears, chest, under the tail, and possibly the underbody. In black and silver dogs, the salt and pepper areas should be solid black instead. Black dogs should have a rich, dark topcoat and a softer black undercoat. Noses are all black. Of course, miniature schnauzers that are pets and not show dogs are just as cute in any color mix.

Feeding a miniature schnauzer
What and how much you feed your dog can make a big difference in the health and your miniature schnauzer's lifespan. All dogs are prone to becoming overweight from eating too much, having too many treats, or eating human food in addition to their recommended diet. Overweight dogs can develop diabetes, heart disease, and orthopedic problems due to the excess weight on their bodies. This is especially true for small dogs like miniature schnauzers, who stand just 12 to 14 inches high and weigh between 13 and 15 pounds, so that even a few pounds matter.
If you want to feed your miniature schnauzer human food, most vets are in agreement as long as it makes up a maximum of 25 percent of the diet's calories. Feeding only human food is generally not recommended because there are many good dog foods that are designed for your dog's size and age, and that provide a balanced diet. If you decide to supplement with human food, be sure to research the foods dogs should never eat, like chocolate, garlic, and onions, because they can be toxic and make your dog very ill.
Miniature schnauzers are very intelligent and can be trained fairly easily. If you want to reward training accomplishments with treats, be sure to include the treats' calories in the dog's overall daily calorie count. It's easy to do this by freezing pieces of fruit such as strawberries, pineapple, and apples (just pick out the apple seeds, which are toxic to dogs).
Exercising for Maximum Health
Regular exercise is important for maintaining the miniature schnauzer's weight and overall health and helping to expand the lifespan of a schnauzer. This energetic, curious dog may get bored and frustrated easily without a change in scenery and activities, so try taking different routes when you go outside for a walk.
Play with your dog daily, inside or outside. Miniature schnauzers don't seem to have a preference for one or the other and, because they're so adaptable, they adjust quickly to city apartment living or exploring open space in the country. However, they are more playful than their larger relatives and do need their exercise. Be sure to keep your miniature schnauzer fenced in when not on a leash because their desire to hunt for prey can make them quick escape artists.
Vary their toys by putting some away for a few days, then reintroduce them. Leave some toys at floor level and others up high so that they have to work at accessing them. Miniature schnauzers cannot be left alone for long periods because they become restless and can be destructive to furniture, shoes, and rugs. Besides, they love being with their people family and are small enough to go everywhere with you.
Watching for health problems
Although a typically healthy breed, miniature schnauzers can be prone to cataracts, urinary stones, liver shunts, pancreatitis, and hyperlipidemia, which refers to excess fat in the blood, usually either triglycerides or cholesterol. Reputable breeders should have tested the dog's parents for these conditions and have the paperwork to show you. If you got your dog as a rescue, ask about its background, but your vet will probably want to test for these conditions. Catching and treating any problems early can help keep your dog healthy and increase its lifespan, so keep regular vet appointments.
Grooming for training and home
Miniature schnauzers are popular show dogs because of their unusual faces and ability to learn quickly. They are also known for being an obedient breed, which is very helpful for training. All schnauzers have a double coat that is soft underneath and wiry on top. Show judges like to see schnauzers coats "hand-stripped," which takes time and is expensive but is not painful to the dog. It involves using special tools to remove hair that has shed but not fallen to the floor yet.
If you're not planning to show your miniature schnauzer, most owners use clippers to shear off the topcoat. A variety of tools are used due to the differences between the wiry topcoat and soft undercoat, so it may be desirable to use a professional groomer, but you can do it yourself if you receive proper training from your breeder or groomer. Miniature schnauzers do not shed much, but their coats must be brushed almost daily to keep their coats looking their best and free from matting.

The role of merchants in the linguistic history of the Sephardic Jews
The article deals with the merchants’ contribution to the history of Sephardic Spanish (Ladino). It examines some samples of merchants letters (15th-18th c.) and surveys their general patterns, which were relatively stable through the centuries. Moreover, it sketches the role of the merchants as a social group first in the diffusion and normativization of the Sephardic vernacular, and later in its confrontation with Western European languages.

Online slots are extremely well-known in the spider solitär free United States gambling market. It can be both thrilling and stressful to place bets with real money online. Please wait ….
Online Slots for Money is an online game where you spin the reels in hopes to get lucky. Payouts can be made depending on the amount you win or the amount of money bet by you. There aren’t any restrictions regarding how you can utilize your bonus, with the exception that it can be used to buy credits. However, you might have restrictions on how many credits you can spend or on how long you can play.
For instance In Online Slots for Money, players have the choice of selecting between “practice reels” or “free reels.” To be a winner, you must hit the jackpot box. Free reels are precisely that, free! Online slot machines give players the chance to test their abilities through spinning virtual reels inside the confines of their own workplace or at home.
Like all gambling games online slots are dependent on luck. Each spin is not dependent on skill, luck, or a strategy. When you play online slots, you’re gambling…there’s no “taking the wheel” or “winning the race”. The machines that you play with are mechanical, no matter the beliefs you hold. The software program will randomly select the parameters that make the reels spin.
There play minesweeper are many different kinds of online slot machines such as video slots and instant online slots (like the ones you see ads for at certain Internet sites), and online slot machines that can be downloaded. There are a variety of games available online that include multi-line, multi-line combination and pay-line games. There are hundreds of configurations of machines, giving gamblers an enormous number of opportunities to select their machines. While some casinos restrict the maximum number of coins players can be playing with at any one time, most allow players to play for up to four times the amount of $4.99 (some casinos charge a flat rate fee for each additional spin.) Online slots that pay more will provide the highest return on your investment.
Slot machines allow players to play for multiple times. However the online slots depend on luck, which is why it’s crucial to know when to stop playing. The majority of casinos online offer welcome bonuses for players who take their time and play with multiple coins, including welcome bonuses for new players and those who participate in special tournaments. Some casinos offer more generous welcome bonuses for players who are more active and spend more money in their slots.
If you’re looking to maximize your return, there are some things you should be aware of about online slots. Slots are not strictly black or white, as they depend on skill. It’s possible, and often even simple for a novice player to beat the odds if she knows how the game operates. A reputable online casino offers a wide variety of spins, meaning that a player can choose the best odds for them. Online casinos also offer the option to play “Spinmaster” to help your online slots function more efficient.
Online slots aren’t gambling, regardless of what your view of the game. They are not a chance to win. They are a kind of casino game, similar to bingo or online poker. Casino games need strategy, timing, and practice, just like real life strategy. Casinos online allow players to enjoy the excitement of casino games but without the complexities and risk.

In this novella set in The World of the Five Gods and four years after the events in “Penric’s Demon”, Penric is a divine of the Bastard’s Order as well as a sorcerer and scholar, living in the palace where the Princess-Archdivine holds court. His scholarly work is interrupted when the Archdivine agrees to send Penric, in his role as sorcerer, to accompany a “Locator" of the Father’s Order, assigned to capture Inglis, a runaway shaman charged with the murder of his best friend. However, the situation they discover in the mountains is far more complex than expected. Penric’s roles as sorcerer, strategist, and counselor are all called upon before the end.
While I enjoyed Penric's Demon, I didn't love it and wasn't sure that I'd bother reading more Penric books after Penric and the Shaman. However, I enjoyed Penric and the Shaman rather more than the introductory novella and found myself laughing out loud more often. I'm not sure to what extent that's due to my state of mind when reading (I was more tired and on night shift up a mountain when I read Penric's Demon) or the intrinsic quality of the writing itself. Probably a bit of both.
Penric and the Shaman tells the story of Penric's encounter with a shaman (loosely speaking) from three points of view: Penric's, the shaman's and the Locator sent to capture the (sort of rogue) shaman. I wasn't sure how much I'd like the split points of view, since I came in attached to Penric and Desdemona, but it worked very well. I should not have doubted Bujold's ability to make me care about other characters. The introduction of the concept of shamans also added to the worldbuilding that we were first introduced to in Penric's Demon (speaking as someone who hasn't read any of the novels), making it a deeper world.
I highly recommend Penric and the Shaman to fans of Penric's Demon and fantasy in general. I think the worldbuilding and jokes work better having read the prequel, but it's not absolutely necessary, especially since four years have passed in the interim. I expect I will read the sequels at some point (when I am less drowning in other books).

Alcoholism causes a variety of physical consequences that are well known and easy to recognize, but it also causes a variety of psychological consequences that people rarely discuss. When people talk about the “effects of alcoholism” they often only talk about the physical effects; people rarely talk about alcoholism and the mental effects. Because of this, many alcoholics will continue to self-medicate their mental symptoms without realizing that their drinking is causing these problems in the first place.
Alcoholism and the Mental Effects
The mental effects of alcoholism vary from person to person, depending on how much you drink and how long you’ve been drinking. People who rarely drink will experience feelings of relaxation and an energizing release of inhibitions. People who drink a moderate amount on a regular basis will begin to experience feelings of nervousness, melancholy, restlessness, irritation and some relationship troubles. People who drink heavily and often will begin to experience insomnia, paranoia and hallucinations.
Other common mental effects of alcoholism are:
* Depression. The old saying that you can “drown your sorrows” by drinking alcohol comes from the fact that many people drink to make their feelings go away. Drinking may provide a temporary escape, but the truth is that prolonged drinking can actually bring on feelings of depression while you’re drinking and even when you’re sober.
* Dysthymia. Alcoholism can lead to dysthymia, a disorder less severe than major depression but one that causes many of the same symptoms: fatigue, low self-esteem, difficulty concentrating, unusual eating or sleeping habits, and a persistently depressed mood.
* Anxiety. Alcohol is a depressant that decreases activity within your brain’s nervous system. When combined with the physical stresses that alcohol abuse causes, feelings of anxiety can be aggravated. These feelings can include restlessness, nightmares, general discontent and general feelings of anxiety.
* Personality changes. Alcohol abuse can cause big changes in your personality. Normal personality traits can disappear during intoxication and be replaced with selfish, angry and egotistical behavior. Aggression and mood swings are very common as well as a general deterioration of morals. Alcohol slows your brain’s synapses and chemically alters your body by affecting serotonin levels, the chemical responsible for transmitting signals of mood to your brain. These physical changes cause your emotions to get out of control and cause your do say and do things you normally wouldn’t do.
* Compulsive behavior. Alcoholics are addicts with the same impulses and urges as drug addicts. Someone who is dependent on alcohol will become obsessed with drinking and is no different than a drug addict seeking his next hit. Your obsession with alcohol can lead you make decisions that negatively impact your life and cause you to lose interest in activities and people you normally enjoy when you were sober.
* Denial. Denial is a common characteristic of alcoholism. Alcoholics will deny they have a problem in order to keep drinking, or may not even realize how serious their drinking really is. Denial is a dangerous place to be mentally because it can keep you from getting the help you so desperately need.
* Co-occurring disorders. Co-occurring mental and mood disorders often exist in alcoholics. They can be caused by the mental effects of heavy drinking or can be the reason heavy drinking occurs in the first place. Oftentimes a person with a co-occurring disorder such as depression or anxiety will become addicted to alcohol after trying to self-medicate their symptoms.
Getting Treatment for Alcoholism and the Mental Effects
The mental effects of alcohol can lead many alcoholics to continue drinking in order to self-medicate their symptoms. Getting treatment for alcoholism and the mental effects should involve a rehab facility that offers dual-diagnosis therapy for co-occurring disorders. Talking to a medical doctor about your symptoms can help you determine what type of treatment you’ll need.
