It’s pretty easy to get overwhelmed by all the options in the fertilizer aisle! While it may appear all the packages are repeats of one another, the real difference comes down to the ingredients and how they are sourced. You may notice that one fertilizer for tomatoes has a completely different ratio of numbers compared to another bottle of tomato fertilizer from a different company. These differences are usually due to the fertilizer being organic or synthetic! But… is one better than the other?
What do the numbers really mean?
The ratio or numbers you’ll see on the label of your fertilizer represents three macronutrients (Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium, or N-P-K). A good way to remember the functions of these macronutrients is: “Up, down, all around.” The first number (nitrogen) primarily impacts green, above-ground growth. The second number (Phosphorus) primarily impacts below-ground root growth, and the third number (potassium) is useful for a great variety of plant functions. These numbers also measure the macronutrients that are readily available at the time of application – we’ll come back to this in a moment.
You may notice that organic fertilizers tend to have smaller numbers than those featured on synthetic fertilizers. This is because synthetic fertilizers work as a “one and done” or a “one punch” method. This means that these fertilizers only contain the readily available nutrients measured on the label (and nothing more). Since it’s readily available, the plant will use up all the N-P-K provided at the time of application (essentially).
Organic fertilizer works differently, however. While they typically have a lower concentration of readily available macronutrients, their organic makeup generally cause more macronutrients to become available in the soil over time, through nutrient transfer and bio-chemistry. So while your plant receives the immediate benefit of readily available nutrients from an organic fertilizer, it also receives the benefit of additional macros over time. It is also important to note that organic fertilizers often contain many micronutrients in them that will benefit your plants on top of the N-P-K already in there! These micronutrients also support soil health, feeding many of the smaller microbes and beneficial bacteria that keeps your soil “living” – which your plant benefits greatly from. Don’t be fooled into thinking that, just because organic fertilizers have smaller numbers than synthetics, they may be “weaker” or not as effective! They are powerful and beneficial, especially over the long term. If you’d like to learn more about how macronutrients and micronutrients work, check out our blog post: What Are Those Three Numbers On Your Fertilizer And How Do They Work?
What is in my fertilizer?
So, we know now that fertilizers contain three macronutrients; but where does that nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium come from? In organic fertilizers, the nutrients come from organic materials such as digested kelp, composted forest matter, and even manure! In synthetic fertilizers, the nutrients are created by humans by making compounds containing elements and produced in a lab. It is important to know that with synthetic fertilizers you are feeding the plant; with organic fertilizers you are feeding the soil! You must follow the application directions for synthetic fertilizers closely as when applying them you may run the risk of burning your plants if not done properly. Organic fertilizers are more forgiving, it is very hard to burn or overfertilize a plant while using one!
What are you fertilizing?
Depending on what you’re fertilizing, the fertilizer you choose can differ. Due to our short growing season, for annuals and pre-done potted and hanging basket arrangements we may recommend a synthetic fertilizer since the goal would be to quickly perk up those flowers, promote constant blooms, and keep the foliage green – rather than the goal being the long term health of the plant, as we only tend to enjoy annuals for a couple of months.
Trees, shrubs, and perennials would benefit from an organic fertilizer as they tend to spend their lifetime in the spot they are planted in. Due to this, we want to ensure the soil is healthy and the plant has everything it needs to thrive in that spot!
Annual fruit and veggie plant fertilizers can go either way depending on your preference and how they are planted. In pots and raised beds, fruits and veggies can be fed with a synthetic fertilizer as these plants and most of the soil will likely be composted at the end of the season. For vegetable beds and larger planter boxes that you may not change the soil often, we may recommend organic fertilizer as you will want to feed the soil as well as the plants. You may also wish to opt for an organic fertilizer, as you are consuming the fruit from these plants!
Finally, indoor plants tend to benefit most from an organic fertilizer, as we want to promote optimum soil and plant health all year long. They are in a controlled environment, and likely don’t get repotted often.
*Hot Tip: Potatoes, specifically, are very heavy feeders. When growing, we recommend changing where they are planted each year or changing out the soil if possible! If not done, you may notice in the years to come that your potatoes will have scab. *
To conclude, neither synthetic nor organic fertilizers are better, per say. There are pros and cons to both methods of fertilizing, and situations where one or the other is appropriate. It really comes down to the plant, the needs, and your personal preferences!

Ben Hur ... scene 3
The 2002 Circus Minimus event was a blast, drawing
21 competitors to three heats of exciting play. The 21 is down
year's 38, but I attribute that to a foolish scheduling experiment
of mine where all the heats were at 7pm, and one was on
Tuesday to boot. This was my fault, and will not be repeated
in the future.
All in all, seven
games were played over the three qualifying heats, plus the final.
Players advanced to the final based upon the highest score they
achieved in any one race in the heats. This system worked well,
and will be retained for the future.
Heat 1 was on Tuesday night, and six players (including the
GM) played. After a hard fought race in which two charioteers
died (both by being run over by their fellow racers), the GM
(me) squeaked out a win by rolling a 6 for Hard Whipping my very
fatigued horses to finish one space ahead of Bob Myers.
Heat two featured three five-player games. In one of them,
Tom Meier edged out last year's champ Steve Shambeda in a very
rare race. The rarity was that no charioteer was killed and all
Chariots survived the race as well. The other race was more along
normal lines, as two charioteers were killed. This race was also
unique in that Kaarin Engelmann won the race riding in her THIRD
chariot of the race. She started in her own, then jumped into
an unmanned chariot (the driver had been killed previously) after
her initial one became damaged. After again being without chariot,
she then jumped from the median into yet
another chariot, which she rode to victory. In the third race,
Jon Shambeda bested Paul Bolduc with a close win at the end.
Heat three featured two five-player games. The first one was
one of the bloodiest Circus Minimus games ever played
at WBC. Only two charioteers survived the race, and only one
chariot. The winner was Greg Berry, who earned the nickname "Doctor
Death" by killing three charioteers. Steve Shambeda tried
to board Greg's chariot but missed, and ran across the line on
foot to claim second. In the second game, Joe Sposito won a very
tight race in a game that featured a three-way fight for a single
chariot (three charioteers fighting in one chariot).
The Final was a seven
player race that featured a lot of mayhem. Only three of the
seven charioteers survived the race as both Greg "Doctor
Death" Berry and Steve Shambeda each killed two of their
fellow racers. Ultimately it came down to a race between Greg
and Steve, where Greg prevailed by the smallest of margins. Paul
Bolduc finished third.
I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who played this
year, both for contributing to the success of this event and
for putting up with me (the GM). This was harder than it may
seem, as I was suffering from what was diagnosed after the convention
as a severe sinus infection (am still on medication for it) and
was effectively deaf during both heat 3 and the finals. Special
thanks go to Steve Shambeda, Bob Myers and Bill Navolis. These
experienced players were at tables with novices, and went out
of their way to help with the play of the game, sometimes to
their own detriment. Finally, my nomination for the Sportmanship
award went to Steve Shambeda (although any of the above individuals
are deserving). Steve probably cost himself the wood by pointing
out a rule to the other players that specifically disadvantaged
him (he was at the time not on a chariot).

I was so moved by Lori Jakiela's March 23 First Person piece "It's Over Before You Know It" regarding her last memory of her father. All day, I had been thinking of my own father who passed away almost seven years ago from Alzheimer's disease and, on a whim, I picked up the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. I was meant to read Ms. Jakiela's words. My own beautiful father, Hispanic, a hard worker, a powerful man with a mighty voice, stood 6 feet tall and wanted me to think of him. I was wishing I had had lunch with him, just the two of us, to ask him about his life, his goals and his disappointments. Then I remembered that we actually did have that lunch.
I was about 8 years old and we had just moved to the United States from Puerto Rico. I knew very little English and was thrust into a second-grade classroom. He brought me lunch one day. A sandwich, a fruit and milk. It was not unusual for a Hispanic child to drink milk out of a baby bottle until the age of 7 or 8. He wanted me to know that he had placed the milk and sugar in the proper quantities meant just for me. I vividly recall him pouring the milk out of the bottle and into the cup to spare me embarrassment or teasing by the other children. And we had lunch together, father and daughter sharing food, sunshine and warmth.

On a mission to Get It, Ke’Noe has been on a relentless grind for the last few years, pumping out beats for Southern greats like Turk, Too Short, C-Murder and Lil Flip. At this point, his resume spans work in Atlanta, California, New York and Louisiana—every state that the emcee/producer claims on his Myspace. Ke’Noe’s new collaboration with producers DJ Toomp and Wonder, is an anthemic crowd mover that Ke'Noe uses as a platform to explain his reasons for the grind. The emcee lays down the outline for getting it—money, success and haters—and provides a bass/horn heavy beat and a serious tone, which are more than enough to help listeners understand.

Recent studies show that magnetic polaritons (MPs) are responsible for the extraordinary optical transmission in subwavelength periodic structures. However, the role of MP in double-layer nanoslit arrays has not been fully understood. This paper elucidates how MPs influence the radiative properties of nanoslit arrays at both normal and oblique incidences using the rigorous coupled-wave analysis. The existence of MPs is further confirmed by an equivalent LC circuit model. The effects of geometric parameters and lateral displacement on the resonance conditions are also investigated, and possible ways of tailoring the radiative properties of nanostructures for energy-harvesting applications are suggested.

Why do we care so much
Caring for someone is a beautiful gesture. Not only humans but even animals thrive upon the love and care of someone. The human heart is capable of many emotions and caring for your loved ones is just one of them. We all care about our loved ones. We care about our children, about our houses, about our daily chores, about our children's future, about our finances, about our financial security, about our careers, about our social life, about our friends and about everything else in life that is important to us. This care is needed for us to carry on in our lives. It gives our lives a meaning. Our thirst for perfection and for abundance in everything makes us care more. We care about the pile of dishes left in the sink that is making our perfect house not-so-perfect. You care about the missed party with cool friends last Saturday that will get you out of an elite social circle; you care about the presentation you have to present at the office meeting that can get you a promotion and subsequently a better financial security. Care is evident in our daily lives. We see parents caring too much for their kids and almost fussing over them. We see our parents caring for us even when we are miles away. Care is beautiful and to be cared for is even more beautiful. But what happens when we overdo it? We get stressed, raise our blood pressures, have fights with our loved ones and finally end up getting hurt. Everything in the world today is based out of care. This care when overdone makes us lose our sanity. We freak out at the smallest thing that does not happen as we planned. Caring too much and expecting too much from someone makes you frustrated and hurt. While caring is important, it is also important to know that nothing is in our control. We also need to know that while caring is important, we also need to live our day to day life with a free mind. Too much care is directly proportional to too much stress. So what if you could not finish the pile of dirty dishes tonight? Tomorrow is another day and you need to stop caring (read stressing) about it and sleep peacefully. Tomorrow with newed energy and renewed vigor you can do everything.

You can stop caring and start a new beginning
Caring comes in many forms. While you care about our daily lives, careers, and chores and you consider it normal, you also care about a few things that are really not necessary. You care a lot about your appearance. The need to appear prim and proper at all times because you care about your reputation in the society. You fret about the text message you sent to your friend and did not get any reply back. These things are not in your control. You will care so much about little things that you will feel exhausted and sucked up dry in the end. Remember you cannot be in the good books of everyone. It is okay if your opinion was not applauded by the society. It is how you feel about something. Do not cover yourself with a false facade just because you want to have a good rapport amongst everyone. Be yourself and stop caring about things that eventually do not matter. To do this, first, you need to make a list of your priorities. I am not telling you to stop caring about anything in this world and roam around in your tees all over without a thing to care about or do. But, there are many things that you cannot stop caring about in life that will help you maintain a sane frame of mind, live peacefully and without feeling an additional burden always. Your family should be the most important to you. Maintain ties with them or reconnect with them if you have not eventually. Take care of your career. Do not overstress yourself. Only take in hand so much that you can easily accomplish. Do not overload yourself with work that will stress you out. Remember, you cannot work with a stressed mind. And what if you fall sick? Even the regular work that you do goes down the drain. Care about your really good friends. Do not change yourself or your ways just because you want to be a part of an elite social club. It will never give you happiness from within. And lastly, if you do care about your boyfriend but don't feel cared for in return, then it’s time to call it quits. It might be the biggest decision in your life but never lower your self-esteem so much that it will make you feel empty and used. Remember, he who is made for you will eventually come back to you and also that time heals the greatest miseries. Give it time and start a new beginning with better focus on things which really matter.

Happiness is a state of the mind
Happiness cannot be purchased by materialistic things and it is a state of the mind. According to a recent survey, there are higher cases of depression noted from people living in huge bungalows, lavish lifestyle and big cars. Everyone has a different way to perceive happiness. Some think that only if they get some money, they will be happy in life. But man is a bundle of wants. What gives you happiness today might not give you happiness tomorrow. Learn to be happy and content with what you have in life. Your small one-bedroom apartment can also give you loads of happiness if you decide to be happy in life. If your ex has left you for another, then it is his loss and not yours. Let your hair down; socialize more till you get another man even better than your ex. People often think that they will be happy one day when they get this or get that. But this search for happiness is the cause of greatest misery. Be happy about everything that you have in life. Value your life every day and try to spread happiness too. If you feel depressed about something, visit some place where people less privileged than you, stay. It will make you happier.
🌙 En los últimos meses, me he dado cuenta de lo importante que es apagar la mente y escuchar nuestro interior. Por unos minutos, céntrate en tu respiración y si llega un pensamiento, déjalo pasar. Conecta con tu "yo" interno. Encuentra la paz, la tranquilidad y, sobre todo, siente amor por ti misma/o 💓 ¡Buenas noches!
stop caring and feel ultimate bliss
It is a habit that needs to be cultivated and cannot be achieved overnight. You have to keep reminding yourself that it is not in your hands. If you desire riches and you know you cannot get them so soon in your life, then just stop caring about it. Make the best of whatever you have. And the most important, at any phase of your life, whether you are rich or poor, whether you have a boyfriend or seeking for someone, whether you are jobless or employed, always have a lot of friends. Like-minded people, people with the same financial status as yours. Friends and family and loving and caring people will keep you happy in any phase of your life. Only when a person is lonely, he feels sad. Surround yourself with friends who care for you, a career that you love and stop caring about all the things that are not in your control. You will feel ultimate bliss in your mind. You will sleep everything without having much to care about and wake up feeling fresh and energetic.
Everything that has to happen will happen
If you quote this mantra every day when you wake up, you will immediately feel free and without any burdens. You cannot control anyone's death, illness, being fired from a job or being dumped by someone you love. Whatever happens will happen, but life must go on and in a happy way.
А может просто встать с другой ноги, И вместо кофе взять и выпить соку... И повернуть свои привычные шаги В ту сторону, где будет больше проку? И в этот день проделать всё не так: Поставить от конца к началу числа, И самый незначительный пустяк Наполнить добрым и высоким смыслом. И сделать то, чего никто не ждёт, И рассмеяться там, где столько плакал, И чувство безнадёжности пройдёт, И солнце встанет там, где дождик капал. Из круга, заведённого судьбой, Возьми и выпрыгни на станции безвестной... Ты удивишься - мир совсем иной, И неожиданнее жизнь, и интересней.... #жизнь #mylifemyrules #всевтвоихруках #свобода #жизньпрекрасна
stop caring about the wrong things
Caring too much about something is a sheer waste of time and energy. It is also counterproductive as you lose all your energy and zest in stressing your mind unnecessarily and thereby cannot give your 100%. A person needs to evaluate and analyze the right and wrong things and decide which to care about and which not to care about. Don’t care about what others think about you. The way a person thinks that the others might be thinking about him is mostly an exaggerated approach of his own mind. No one really cares about you and so even you should not. Everyone has a million other things to care about and so why would they waste their time and energy caring about you. You might be thinking that everyone is judging you all the time. But, even if they are, how does it matter? You cannot please everyone all the time and neither should you change yourself just to be judged properly by others. Don't care about things that are not in your hands, stop caring about things that you cannot change and stop caring about the things where you have wronged yourself or others. What has happened has happened, you cannot change the past. You can only learn a lesson from it and the most you can do is to apologize to the person you have wronged. You will instantly feel relieved and care-free. If you made mistakes in the past, learn a good lesson. They are just experiences which have taught you valuable lessons. No one's life is a bed of roses. Remember, it does not matter what you are wearing to your next date with your boyfriend or whether he is taking you out to an expensive restaurant or not, what matters is that you both are going out together. If you learn to be happy with the priorities in life and stop caring about the small things, then you will be a happier person. A happy person spreads happiness around, has a happy aura around him and manages to pull in happy vibes into his life!!

The laboratory of Aquatic Ecosystem Management conducts various oceanic research and investigations on biogeochemical cycling in coastal seas as well as in open seas by means of oceanographic observations, laboratory experiments, and computer modeling and simulation.
1) Coastal ecosystems are quite complex, consisting water, sediments and variety of living organisms. Direct impact of human activities may cause several environmental issues in coastal areas. Integrating forests, rivers and rural areas in addition to coastal seas into one basin system is important to understand the mechanisms occurring in coastal ecosystems. We carry out fieldworks to collect data with university students and with citizens and NPOs as well. Based upon the scientific results obtained from the quantitative analyses on material cycles in total basin systems, we propose practical restoration measures to local/central governments. Our activities are contributing not only to the education of university students but also to decision makings on environmental issues by governors.（Yamamoto T）

Wolverines: Losing stings, but foundation is set for Michigan's future
Miami Gardens, Fla. — As the Georgia team celebrated and were feted on the Hard Rock Stadium field, red confetti falling on them after earning an opportunity to play for the national championship, most of the Michigan players had moved on, walking dejectedly toward their locker room.
But a handful lingered.
Running back Blake Corum stood alone on the 7-yard line, helmet in hand and his attention directed toward the Bulldogs enjoying their dominant 34-11 victory over the Wolverines in the Orange Bowl semifinal game Friday night. They will face Alabama in the national championship game.
A cluster, including redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Mike Morris, quarterback J.J. McCarthy, running back Donovan Edwards, receiver Andrel Anthony and defensive back Ja’Den McBurrows, all freshmen, stood together and watched.
Where Georgia is headed is where Michigan had hoped to be. The Wolverines finished 12-2 and after being unranked in the preseason, beat Ohio State, won the Big Ten title and reached the national semifinal. But reaching and winning are two very different things.
“I know Michigan football will be in good hands next year with those guys,” senior co-captain Aidan Hutchinson said. “They’re going to step up. They’ve learned this whole season what leadership is and how it’s supposed to be.”
While the loss was a gut punch, the players said it does not diminish what they accomplished this season.
“This team’s been so great,” Hutchinson said. “We were so bonded from Day 1. Sucks it’s got to end this way. Nothing’s going to take away our accomplishments this year, what we achieved for what we were expected. I’ll forever love this team. We did some amazing things. Some historic stuff.”
Hutchinson and senior safety Brad Hawkins said they feel they’ve helped build a foundation for the future. Michigan’s Big Ten championship this season was the first for the program since 2004 and the Wolverines snapped an eight-game losing streak against Ohio State, which has dominated the last two decades of the rivalry
“Today didn’t go our way. It’s life,” Hawkins said. “We had a great season and got some big wins and did what we were supposed to do. But this one hurts. These guys are gonna continue to grow. They’re going to grow from this. Kind of like Aidan said, we set the foundation. These guys of course are disappointed.
“Starting a new year, it’s a new season. They’re going to continue to grow and continue to get better.”
Tight end Erick All, who led the team with four catches for 63 yards, said the Wolverines will rebound quickly from this loss.
“We’re gonna work harder next year,” All said. “This adds fuel to the tank. We’re gonna come out and work harder next year.”
Senior center Andrew Vastardis was visibly emotional on the sideline as his final game at Michigan neared its end. He started to choke up again in a postgame news conference when he spoke of his career and what he helped build.
“Just coming together and being a family when everybody was jumping off, throwing crap on the pile,” Vastardis said. “Just leaning on each other, trusting each other, playing for the man to your left and to your right. Gosh, I’ve seen a lot of guys grow as young men becoming men, and I’ve had the honor to do that here in the presence of some great coaches and leaders.
“Those lessons I’ll keep with me forever. I couldn’t be happier. I couldn’t be more blessed.”
It’s not about SEC vs. Big Ten
Hutchinson was asked if the Southeastern Conference is simply at another level.
“I don’t really think conferences matter that much,” Hutchinson said. “They were a talented team that happens to be in the south. I don’t think it’s Big Ten vs. SEC. They’re a very good football team that executed more than us today.”
Tough outing for O-line
Michigan recently won the Joe Moore Award as the nation’s top offensive line.
But against Georgia’s vaunted defense, it wilted.
“We didn’t execute the way we had been all season,” Vastardis said. “That’s just top to bottom. I think we had a good plan. We just failed to execute consistently. No one ever quit fighting. No one ever gave up, no one gave in. For that, I’m proud. Great defense. A lot of those guys will be playing on Sundays. Good luck to them moving forward, but gosh I’m really proud of this team.”
Michigan entered the game ranked 10th nationally in rushing offense, averaging 223.8 yards. Michigan was held to 88 rushing yards.

Clayton Lake State Park is home to some fascinating ancient history, namely one of the longest dinosaur "trackways" on the continent! Many of these paleological sites are still under investigation, so it is always possible that you will see scientists digging away as you explore this beautiful scenery with your canine companion.
Hiking is lovely here, with 1.4 miles of trails to explore. These trails are primarily paved and do not present much of a challenge. They do however provide some excellent views of Clayton Lake, as well as the surrounding rock walls. These trails are also interactive, which means you can learn something new every time to explore them. Dogs are welcome on these trails, provided they stay on a 6-foot leash or shorter.
Doggie bag stations can be found at the entrances of each path, so make sure to clean up after your pet! Due to the deep waters of Lake Clayton, boating is incredibly popular here. You are welcome to bring whatever boat you may own, as long as you heed the seasonal water hours. These are posted on the New Mexico State Parks website. Canoes and kayaks are also welcome here, provided you stay relatively close to the shore.
Speaking of the water, fishing is another sport regularly seen in Clayton Lake State Park. No rental equipment is offered on the grounds, so make sure you come prepared if you're planning a trip. Canines are welcome on the shore, provided they stay leashed up at all times.
If you'd like to spend the night, there are five different campgrounds with plenty of options available for you to enjoy. There are 26 total developed campsites, seven of which have full water, and nine of which have both water and electric. Group campsites are also available for rental. For more information on these sites and their availability, visit the New Mexico State Parks website.

Prohibition's Poison: The Real Reason Behind Marijuana's Ban
The legalization of marijuana has been a hot topic in recent years, with many states opting to decriminalize or even legalize the use of marijuana. However, many people are still unaware of the reasons why marijuana was made illegal in the first place. In this article, we'll take a look at why marijuana was made illegal in 1937, why it remains illegal today, and why this policy stands in contrast to the legality of alcohol.
Why was marijuana made illegal in 1937?
- The reasons behind the criminalization of marijuana in 1937 were rooted in political and racial tensions.
- The criminalization of marijuana was driven in part by misinformation and propaganda that suggested that marijuana was a dangerous drug.
- There was also concern about the influence of Mexican immigrants and African American jazz musicians who were believed to be using marijuana.
Why is marijuana illegal and alcohol isn't?
- Alcohol has a long history of use in many cultures, while marijuana was relatively unknown in the United States before the 20th century.
- The prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s was widely regarded as a failure, leading to the eventual repeal of prohibition in 1933.
- Alcohol is taxed and regulated by the government, which has helped to reduce its negative effects, while marijuana remains illegal and unregulated.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the reasons behind the criminalization of marijuana in 1937 were complex and rooted in political, racial, and cultural tensions. Today, marijuana remains illegal, while alcohol is widely accepted and regulated. The legalization of marijuana is an ongoing debate, with many people advocating for its decriminalization or legalization in order to reduce the negative consequences of its criminalization. Regardless of your stance on the issue, it is important to understand the history and reasons behind the current legal status of marijuana.

Trust and a multi-modal approach are essential for recovery.
Most people will experience at least one potentially traumatic event during their lifetime. Of these, a significant number of individuals will suffer lasting psychological distress, ranging from mild lingering anxiety to symptoms that interfere with all aspects of functioning. Events such as combat, sexual and physical assault, robbery, disasters, motor accidents, life-threatening illnesses, as well as witnessing death or serious injury by violent assault, accidents, war, or disaster are all examples. Traumatic events do not need to be life threatening to be highly upsetting, for example, extreme emotional abuse, major losses or separations, degradation, or humiliation.
Multiple traumas and different responses to trauma
The relationships between different traumas, and the symptoms and difficulties they may cause in a given individual’s life history can be complex. Two people exposed to a similar trauma may respond in remarkably different ways – one may present with only mild, transient symptoms, whereas the other may develop a full-blown stress disorder that endures for months or years. As a result sometimes there can be a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress disorder (ASD) or adjustment disorder.
Therapy can help us to understand the complicated mixture of multiple traumas and multiple symptomatic responses, and to clarify these various trauma-symptom connections. We use a multi-modal approach to a wide range of post-traumatic outcomes. Based on empirically supported therapeutic techniques and the general but critical role of the therapeutic relationship, we provide a nonpathologising, phenomenological perspective on teamwork and recovery.
Trust and ongoing therapy
Working through trauma requires a client to have trust in the therapist and is often most supportive when care is available for a significant number of years; revisiting the same psychologist, as trauma states are triggered, exploratory work will promote ongoing well being and coping mechanisms.
To set the stage we spent our three day yearly retreat together in sharing, reflection and appreciation. At each of our retreats we start with reflection on our values- are they still relevant, are they a part of our clients journey and do we refer to them enough? Are there values we need to spend more time bringing into the company?
I spend much of my time at work speaking with clients about their experiences of trauma. These are often deeply personal conversations which involve vulnerability and working through what can be confronting core beliefs and experiences.
Often as a therapist, your work life and personal life collide with similar themes. For me, the spotlight recently shone on all things parenting and baby related.

The findings are based on analysis of photos taken by wildlife enthusiasts and the discovery have been published as part of a study in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
They also found the crabs using broken necks of glass bottles or metal ends of light bulbs as shells.
The researchers estimate ten out of 16 species of land hermit crabs around the world have begun to use plastic as a form of armour.
The scientists from the University of Warsaw and PoznaÅ University in Poland said this emphasises the impacts of plastic pollution on a massive scale.
Plastics are the most common waste found in seawater and numerous studies indicate that they have a very harmful effect on wildlife and the environment.
Every year 19-23 million tonnes of plastic waste leaks into aquatic ecosystems, polluting lakes, rivers and seas, according to the United Nations Environment Programme.
A recent study also found more than 171 trillion pieces of plastic are now estimated to be floating in the world’s oceans.
Surfers Against Sewage (SaS) told The Independent the findings of this new study are “beyond terrifying”.
“Choking our rivers and seas, plastic leaches into every corner of the environment,” a spokesperson for SaS added.
The authors of the new study said plastic waste can significantly alter the natural behaviour of animals.
“‘Hermit crabs need to protect their soft abdomen. They usually do this by hiding in shells left behind by dead crustaceans. One such hiding place is not enough for a lifetime because of the crab’s development, but also because of intra-species competition,” they added.
The study authors add that instead of shells, these creatures started using plastic objects lying on beaches and in the water.
The researchers confirmed the emergence of a new behaviour in hermit crabs using an iEcology method - reffering to the use of various online data sources as a tool in ecological research.
“In the photographs, we discovered a total of 386 individuals using artificial shells - mainly plastic caps, but also made from broken necks of glass bottles or metal ends of light bulbs.
“According to our calculations, ten out of sixteen species of land hermit crabs in the world use this type of shelter. This unusual behaviour is observed in all tropical regions of the Earth,” the scientists wrote.
The researchers aim to further understand the reasons for this behaviour and its impact on the evolution of hermit crabs.
“These analyses will deepen our understanding of the consequences of plastic pollution in marine ecosystems, as well as the evolution of species in the context of new evolutionary pressures associated with the Anthropocene,” they wrote.
Dr David Santillo, Senior Scientist for Greenpeace International’s Science Unit, told The Independent: “We have now produced and disposed of so much plastic waste that it has sadly become a component part of almost every ecosystem.
“What the hermit crabs are doing, in selecting plastic and other litter over natural materials, should serve as a very visual warning of what is a much wider but often less visible problem of our own creation.
“When plastic bottle tops become too eroded to function as shells for hermit crabs, the microplastics they disintegrate into may cause problems for other species, entering the diets of corals and other small organisms, providing no nutritional value and potentially transporting toxic pollutants around the seas.”
Jade Chapman, spokesperson for Surfers Against Sewage said: “The planet’s wildlife is no stranger to plastic pollution and it’s beyond terrifying. Choking our rivers and seas, plastic leaches into every corner of the environment.
“Enough is enough. We need to ban single-use plastic and push for the reuse and recycling of products we already have. To give our environment a chance, we must progress the Global Plastics Treaty, and stop the dithering on a UK-wide Deposit Return Scheme.”
