Since East London fashion designer Han Chong burst onto the scene four seasons ago, his label Self Portrait has gained a strong celebrity following and the industry has taken notice. With its sport aesthetic combined with super feminine details, its a force to be reckoned with. And the best bit? It has low production rates (no danger of that dreaded same-dress-at-a-party situation!) and doesn’t cost a months rent! If it’s good enough for Beyonce, it’s good enough for us!


This YouGov survey asked the question:
“How soon, if at all, do you think you will visit a pub after they reopen?”
Although tomorrow (July 4th) has been talked up in England by the media as ‘super Saturday’ with the reopening of hospitality businesses such as restaurants, bars and pubs in England, this survey shows weak appetite (and thirst) for an immediate return.
Only one in nine men (11%) and one in fourteen women (7%) intend visiting a pub during the first week of reopening. The majority of people seem to be adopting a more patient ‘wait and see’ approach.
If industries can be reopened with modest immediate demand, then this should help (along with COVID-secure practices) to avoid a steep rise in COVID-19 positive cases. These have averaged 525 per day across England over the seven day period June 26 -July 2nd (lab-confirmed cases in hospitals and community settings (Gov UK data).
Boris has today (July 2nd) signalled that English gyms are next to open, but it all hangs, as always, on how we all behave and the level of respect shown to this wicked virus.
YouGov survey methodology: 1,618 adults conducted during July 1-2, 2020.


Two and a Half Men veteran Jon Cryer will star as the DC supervillain Lex Luthor in the TV show Supergirl. The CW TV show stars Melissa Benoist in the lead as the Kryptonian heroine Kara Zor-El or Supergirl and a cousin to Kal-El or Superman. Lex Luthor, who is traditionally an archenemy of Superman in different media, will be introduced in the fifteenth episode of the show’s fourth season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Supergirl’s executive producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller said in a statement, “We are enormous fans of Jon Cryer, and he was instantly our dream actor to play the iconic role of Lex Luthor. Jon is a super-talent, and the fact that he played Lenny Luthor in Superman IV brings an added layer of legacy to his casting. We’re beyond thrilled to welcome Jon to the Supergirl family.”
Cryer starred in all the 12 seasons of the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men as Alan Harper. For his work on the show, he won two Primetime Emmys — Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2009 and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in 2012.
Lex Luthor is a genius, megalomaniac businessman and the owner of LexCorp. He sees Superman as a threat to humanity and wants to get rid of him. The character has been played by actors like Gene Hackman (1978’s Superman), Kevin Spacey (2006’s Superman Returns) and Jesse Eisenberg (2016’s Batman v Superman).

Saguna, a leader and pioneer of Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), supports AWS Greengrass designed to bring services to mobile users from the network edge using a distributed MEC infrastructure, the company said.
Much of the data generated by IoT devices may never reach the cloud due to privacy requirements, latency constraints and costs. IoT applications need local cloud services operating close to the connected devices to improve the economics of telemetry data processing at the cloud with edge analytics; to minimize latency for time-critical applications; and ensure sensitive information is protected locally.
Saguna Open-RAN is a MEC platform that creates a standard-based cloud-computing ecosystem inside the radio access network; as close as possible to mobile users. Based on the ETSI MEC industry standard, the virtualized software platform provides a scalable distributed cloudlet infrastructure that adds value to 4G networks and HetNets that is essential for 5G.

Colombia’s Supreme Court has postponed the date of the wiretapping trial against former officials until November 19, reported newswire CM& Tuesday.
Maria del Pilar Hurtado, who served as the director of the now-defunct Colombian intelligence agency DAS, and former president Alvaro Uribe‘s then Chief-of-Staff, Bernardo Moreno, are both on trial for involvement in illegal wiretapping.
The prosecution has alleged that they facilitated the unauthorized wiretapping of judges, political opponents, human rights activists and journalists.
Judge Fernando Castro determined that the board could not proceed with the trial at this current time as the court had commitments to other judgements.
On October 4, 2010, the Inspector General’s Office barred Moreno from holding public office for 18 years for allegedly ordering the wiretapping.
Del Pilar Hurtado fled Colombia in late 2010 and was eventually granted asylum by Panamanian authorities. In early February 2012, Panama denied Colombia’s request for Pilar to be extradited. In April of 2012, Colombian authorities responded by accusing Panama of undermining Colombia’s judicial system.
They will both face trial in the coming months for alleged involvement in the wiretap scandal.

Synopsis : Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the twentieth century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.
This Penguin Classics deluxe edition features a specially designed cover by Frank Miller along with french claps and deckle-edged paper.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
Review: Tyrone Slothrop, a GI in London in 1944, has a big problem. Whenever he gets an erection, a Blitz bomb hits. Slothrop gets excited, and then (as Thomas Pynchon puts it in his sinister, insinuatingly sibilant opening sentence), "a screaming comes across the sky," heralding an angel of death, a V-2 rocket. The novel's title, Gravity's Rainbow, refers to the rocket's vapor arc, a cruel dark parody of what God sent Noah to symbolize his promise never to destroy humanity again. History has been a big trick: the plan is to switch from floods to obliterating fire from the sky.
Slothrop's father was an unwitting part of the cosmic doublecross. To provide for the boy's future Harvard education, he took cash from the mad German scientist Laszlo Jamf, who performed Pavlovian experiments on the infant Tyrone. Laszlo invented Imipolex G, a new plastic useful in rocket insulation, and conditioned Tyrone's privates to respond to its presence. Now the grown-up Tyrone helplessly senses the Imipolex G in incoming V-2s, and his military superiors are investigating him. Soon he is on the run from legions of bizarre enemies through the phantasmagoric horrors of Germany.
That's just the Imipolex G tip of the shrieking vehicle that is Pynchon's book. It's pretty much impossible to follow a standard plot; one must have faith that each manic episode is connected with the great plot to blow up the world with the ultimate rocket. There is not one story, but a proliferation of characters (Pirate Prentice, Teddy Bloat, Tantivy Mucker-Maffick, Saure Bummer, and more) and events that tantalize the reader with suggestions of vast patterns only just past our comprehension. You will enjoy Pynchon's cartoon inferno far more if you consult Steven Weisenburger's brief companion to the novel, which sorts out Pynchon's blizzard of references to science, history, high culture, and the lowest of jokes. Rest easy: there really is a simple reason why Kekulé von Stradonitz's dream about a serpent biting its tail (which solved the structure of the benzene molecule) belongs in the same novel as the comic-book-hero Plastic Man.
Pynchon doesn't want you to rest easy with solved mysteries, though. Gravity's Rainbow uses beautiful prose to induce an altered state of consciousness, a buzz. It's a trip, and it will last. --Tim Appelo

History, Lived and Documented
November 4, 2011 | Source: Monroe Gallery of Photography
The Beatles at the Plaza Hotel, February 7, 1964 Bill Eppridge
©The Albuquerue Journal North
By Malin Wilson Powell
on Fri, Nov 4, 2011
Ignorance of history, like many omissions, happens effortlessly and silently in the contemporary barrage of day-to-day life. The photojournalism of Bill Eppridge is a sobering reminder of the necessity of a common history to a civilized society. The Monroe Gallery is presenting three major Eppridge photo essays from the tumultuous '60s when he was on assignment for Life magazine (1961-1972), plus a smattering of individual iconic images up to 2007.
One of the most striking aspects of Eppridge's work is his impeccable instinct for orientation. Eppridge's photographs bear witness to his ability for in capturing powerful images by constantly honing and adjusting his physical and ethical compass. He not only finds the right place to frame the uncertainties of life unfolding in front of him, but he does this by continually refining the right frame of mind. This holds true whether he might be hanging out of a helicopter with his editor holding onto his ankles, or "sticking with" the Beatles on their first 1964 American tour, or whether he could keep his bearings in the most extreme and devastating situation - Robert Kennedy's assassination on June 5, 1968.
Bobby Kennedy's extraordinary vitality and traumatic death were clearly defining experiences for Eppridge, who never accepted another political assignment after the senator's death. His first assignment with Bobby Kennedy was in 1966 when the young politician was testing the waters for a presidential bid in 1968. During this grueling eight-month campaign Eppridge took thousands of photographs in both black-and-white and color, always "staying close" to the candidate every single day and night.
Bill Eppridge ©Time Inc.
The access, rawness and intimacy of Eppridge's photos are hard to comprehend while immersed in today's packaged news. As the photographer has noted, "The press is controlled in such a way today that you almost never see the real person you are photographing. You're taking pictures of what their handlers want you to see."
Everywhere Bobby Kennedy campaigned he insisted on a convertible to greet the eager crowds. Looking at his exposure and absence of security, the question arises: How could he do this after his brother John's death in Dallas from a sniper while riding in a convertible? Yet, here are images of Bobby's courage and enthusiasm for meeting his supporters. His hands and arms reach for them with an appetite as strong as theirs reaching for him. In a time when politicians demonstrate so much disdain for the average voter, these photographs are riveting proof of mutual openness, respect, even admiration.
The Kennedy campaign travels through the Watts section of Los Angeles on the last day before the primary, 1968
For anyone who lived through the '60s and the repeated blows of the assassinations of John Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, their bankrupt slaughter still reverberates. Bobby was shot on the last night of his campaign, the evening he won the all-important California primary and when exhausted he left the press of the crowd by way of the Ambassador Hotel kitchen, where Sirhan Sirhan shot him and five others. Only 12 feet away, and almost certainly unhinged by the mayhem, Eppridge's eye was steady and he remembers thinking: "You are not just a photojournalist; you're a historian." His photograph of the wounded senator is often described as a modern Pieta. It cannot be seen too often.
This is also true of Eppridge's photo essay "Mississippi Burning: The James Chaney Funeral." James Chaney was the one black civil-rights worker along with two young white civil rights workers who were kidnapped and murdered during "Freedom Summer" by the Ku Klux Klan on June 21, 1964. They were investigating the burning of Mt. Zion Methodist Church, a civil-rights training site. After an intense 44-day search, the bodies of Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwermer were found under 25 feet of dirt at a nearby earthen dam.
The dignity and sorrow that seep from Eppridge's photos of the Chaney family bespeak wounds that can't be healed. Suffused with an unflinching, upright gravitas, gallery viewers are noticeably stilled as they process through this deeply affecting black-and-white series: they whisper and stand taller. Not only is there the great graveside photo of Ben Chaney, the younger brother, shedding a tear in the embrace of his mother, there is an especially eerie photo of a troubled Ben looking straight at the camera, all alone with his grief in the middle of the image, bracketed by his parents and three sisters steeped in their own thoughts. Because of death threats, the Chaneys left Meridian, Miss., for New York City, and by 1969 Ben Chaney had joined the Black Panther Party. After 13 years in jail, he was paroled and has since established a foundation in his brother's honor and worked as a legal clerk for former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who secured his parole. As the gallery text notes, only one of the 10 men responsible for the murders was prosecuted and incarcerated by the state of Mississippi, and that was in 2005.

Eppridge has written eloquently about his craft and his art, including the unimaginable freedom his generation of photographers had to pursue truth during the 1960s golden era of photojournalism, inserting such anecdotes of a robust participant/observer as the perfect, unchoreographed ballet of a three-man CBS crew filming the Bobby Kennedy motorcade while in motion.
Looking back, the '60s were terrible and wonderful, and certainly fulfilled the Chinese adage "May you all live in interesting times." History is always in the making, but there aren't always visual historians of Eppridge's highly developed sensibilities to frame resonant and crucial junctures for posterity.
On Oct. 24, Bill Eppridge, born Guillermo Alfredo Eduardo Eppridge in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to American parents, was awarded the 2011 Lucie Award for Achievement in Photojournalism at Lincoln Center in New York.

There is a range of resources available to assist people researching their family history or planning a visit to Poland, such as maps, reference material and population data. A selection of Yizkor books (commemorative books of places and people) written in memory of those who were murdered, provide descriptions of once-thriving Jewish communities of Europe that have since disappeared. Another section of the library contains volumes listing the names of ghetto inmates as well as registers of survivors compiled after the war.
Rare or significant original books and paper records are housed separately from the general library, in environmentally controlled conditions that ensures their preservation. The Centre also holds copies of local publications, articles and newspaper clippings covering events run by the Holocaust Centre together with video recordings and photographs of functions, book launches, Holocaust commemorations and other special events. Access to these items can be obtained by prior appointment with the Centre.
The Library is linked to the Jewish Community Library Network, which combines the collections of the Makor library with those of six other Melbourne Jewish libraries. The on-line catalogue can be accessed at the Centre's library or via the internet at Lamm Jewish Library of Australia

Using the wings in defined zones to move the ball “upfield”
You’ve got to move the opposition around so you can create gaps for your players to play a through ball to break the defence
Play a 4v4 in the centre with a neutral wingback in each of the wing zones who play for the team in possession. Only the neutral wingbacks are fixed to zones, the other players can go anywhere on the pitch. The game is directional and teams must try to score in any of the three goals – if a team scores a goal and the wingback is involved the goal counts double.
Because of the pressure on players in the area you want to see switching play to areas of space and good possession passing and movement. Wingbacks need to cross the ball with accuracy and attackers get shots on target Look for good support play and overlapping runs.

NEVER underestimate your power to help a mentally ill person. Sometimes you might feel that you are fighting a losing battle, but I promise you, you are not. Just by standing by your friend or family member, you can make an enormous difference. Below are some practical things you can do to help.
Remember that the way towards wellness for someone with a mental health condition lies in empowerment. They need to get back to doing things for themselves, and to believing in themselves and their own abilities. Therefore, none of the below suggestions will work if you force them on the person. Whatever you try to do to help, remember that it will only help if your friend or family member chooses to let you do it. Often they will say no to things, and you must accept that.
Coping with mental illness is a long road. Supporting someone who is suffering from a mental health condition can be frustrating and stressful, and progress slow and often disheartening. Remember that no matter how challenging it is for you, it will never be more so than it is for your friend or family member who is suffering the condition. But no matter how dark things get for them, there will ALWAYS be something you can do to help.
If this website makes you significantly change the way you are dealing with your friend or family member, tell them what you are doing and ask for their feedback. We’re trying to give generic advice, and nothing will help everyone – it’s different for different people, so check with them to see if it’s helping.
1. Just be there. Never give up and never be out of touch. Even if they keep cancelling coffee dates or rejecting your advice, or even if they lose their temper with you and tell you to go away, please never give up on them. A normal friendship/family relationship is the BEST thing you can give them – and they really need it.
Mental illness is often a very isolating experience which can significantly limit people’s ability to interact with others – through being sick and unable to go out, through stigma, through being unable to act on the advice of mentally well people, through needing flexibility to cancel or change plans at the last minute, through social anxiety, and many other things. The best thing you can do is to be there for the person, to keep them in your life, no matter what.
2. Ask them what makes them feel better when they’re struggling. Sometimes, they’ll need to be alone, but a conversation with a friend at the right time can really help. If they’re really struggling, they might not be up to talking on the phone, but just exchanging a few texts can really help too.
What helps can be different at different times, and for different people, so ASK your friend/family member what helps them the most, and how and what YOU can do to help.
3. Socialise with them. That is the best way to either keep them in, or get them back into, a normal life. And having as close to a normal life as possible is the best way to cope with mental illness.
If you are trying to include your friend or family member in social activities and they keep saying no, or saying yes and then pulling out, it’s neither your fault nor theirs. Just like if they had a physical illness, sometimes their condition means they just can’t make it to your party/coffee date/movie night. Rather than stop inviting them, ask them what social activities they feel most able to do. If they suffer from social anxiety, for example, they might struggle to go to a café for a coffee date, but might be fine if you go to their house to have coffee. They might struggle to go to a party with lots of people, but be fine to catch up with just you or you and one other friend.
Depending on the severity of their condition, there might be some days when they just can’t do anything. Maybe they might be having a bad day, or maybe something might happen earlier in the day (a trigger, for example) that wipes them out for the rest of the day. So even if you get them to choose the social activity and arrange it around them, if their head is messed up on that particular day (this can happen without warning, and it goes up and down, so it’s rarely predictable), they might still have to cancel on you. Please don’t blame either them or yourself for this. Tell them that it’s OK and that you understand that sometimes they just have to change plans. And ALWAYS make sure you contact them again to reschedule another time!
“I’m sorry, I slept really badly last night and I can’t see you today”
does NOT mean
“I’m too lazy to see you,” “I didn’t like what you said to me last time,” or “I don’t value our friendship”!!!
“I could not sleep well because I had (for example) nightmares/racing heart/insomnia last night and as a result, today every noise makes me wince, I feel like crap and I cannot hold a conversation. It’s not your fault. I just need to rest up and I’d love to see you next week instead.”
“I’m sorry, I had a really bad time at the supermarket/at work/in traffic this afternoon so I can’t come tonight”
does NOT mean
“I’m too lazy to see you,” “I give up easily,” “I didn’t like what you said to me last time,” “I don’t value our friendship” or “I hate shopping/work/cars”!!
“I got triggered today, and it floored me. I now have to go home because I’m shaking/heart racing/feel physically sick and I need to spend the rest of the day curled up on my bed in the foetal position. It’s not your fault. I just need to rest up and I’d love to see you next week instead.”
For more information about triggers, click here.
4. Use positive rather than negative language/pay compliments whenever you can.
People with mental health conditions often suffer from low self-esteem. They also often struggle with tasks that a mentally well person would find much easier. Positive encouragement, and giving credit where credit is due, can go a long way. It’ll take a while, but if you can keep chipping away at the negative thoughts and anxieties that your friend or family member is enduring, you CAN help them through it. When someone pays you a compliment, does it make you feel good? And when someone tells you you did something well, does it reassure you a lot better than it would if you tried to tell yourself you had done OK? Positive feedback from others is really important for everyone’s self-esteem, not just people with mental health conditions.
*Key point* ALWAYS pay attention to your friend or family member’s reactions to what you say, and change your actions accordingly. Don’t belittle or badger them to achieve things; rather, when they achieve things, pat them on the back for it. For people with mental health conditions, some days just getting out of bed is an enormous achievement, and thus worthy of a pat on the back. Also, telling someone what you love about them and what you think they do well is a great way to give them a psychological boost, so don’t hold your compliments inside!
Using positive language is particularly important, and is something that is used in many psychological therapies. For more information, click here.
5. Check in. Give them a friendly text or phone call every so often. If you find out they’re particularly struggling at the moment, do it more often. It doesn’t have to take up much of your time – just texting them a hug, a joke or a cute GIF or emoji can give them a smile (VERY important, a much-needed shot of endorphins to the brain!) whilst also letting them know that you are there if they need to talk.
Even if they’re not up to conversation, you can still give them a lift by sending a simple text like, “I’m sorry you’re feeling shit *hug*” or “Look at this funny video I found on YouTube, it made me laugh xxx”. It won’t make them well, but when you’re struggling with mental illness every day of your life, small things that make you smile, make you laugh or make you feel loved really really count, because they are all you have to cheer yourself up. To put this in context, think of a time when you were really struggling yourself – maybe through grief or a bad breakup or losing your job. When people said kind things to you, or did little things to show they cared, or made you laugh, did it help? Imagine how much worse you would have felt if you had had nobody to talk to about your problem, or to give you a laugh, a smile or a hug. When you’re really struggling, those little things REALLY count, and they really help, one step at a time.
6. Never make assumptions
(….list a few common assumptions and explain why they’re wrong…….I’m looking for input on this!)
“Last time I saw him he was talking and laughing – he must be doing a lot better!”
Never make any assumptions about your friend or family member’s condition. Mental health symptoms are different for every person, so only they can tell you how they’re really feeling – but often they won’t. Mental illness is very isolating in itself, and people often try and “cover it up” to fit in better socially. They may want to avoid worrying you, or may find it hard to explain to you what they’re really feeling (often mental health symptoms can only be truly understood by someone who has experienced them first hand). Also, as a lot of people with mental health conditions suffer from low self-esteem, they might be afraid that if they tell you how they’re really feeling, you might be put off or scared away, and they might lose your support.
For these and other reasons, it is rare for a person with a mental health condition to tell their friends and family exactly what they are going through. They might be able to put on a brave face and carry on normal conversations with people in a social setting, so that nobody present can notice anything amiss, but when they get home they may collapse into a mentally ill mess.
So, never make assumptions about how your friend or family member is doing based on what you see them doing, because you will never see the whole picture. This doesn’t mean that you should mistrust what you see and demand they tell you what’s really happening – they (and you!) may well function better without you knowing everything that’s going on. But not making assumptions is important to make sure that, for example, you don’t make them do things they don’t like or are not capable of. It’s also important when watching out for suicidality.

7. Offer to help with practical things.
This is a tricky one, for two main reasons:
- To get well and learn to cope in future, a person needs to be able to do things on their own.
- Having people do things for them can cause them to have negative feelings about their own abilities, for example, “I couldn’t even manage to do the shopping so my mum/aunty/friend did it, how useless am I?” Needing other people to help you do things you used to be able to do yourself can be a really depressing and degrading experience.
This varies from person to person, but it’s something you need to be aware of. There are things you can do to mitigate it, for example by doing things with the person instead of for them, and by modifying what you say to make sure it doesn’t sound like you pity them or think they aren’t capable of doing things for themselves. For example:
“I cooked too much food last night, we had some lasagne left over, would you like some?”
“I’ve made this lasagne for you, dear.”
“I’m going into town anyway that day, do you want a lift to your appointment?”
“You probably shouldn’t drive in your state, I’ll drive you.”
“Would you like some help to fix that leaky tap? I love doing DIY stuff. We can do it together.”
“Jeez that dripping tap must be driving you mad, I’ll fix it for you.”
You want to help the person, but if you don’t do it on their terms, you could be hindering them instead. The best way to figure out how best to do things is by talking. Ask them if there’s anything they need help with, or offer to do a specific thing, and let them choose if and how you help them with it. Involve them in the doing of it where possible, so that they can feel empowered and in control of their life as much as they can. This is the best way to recovery.
The decision as to whether it’s causing a problem and whether they need help fixing it should never be yours, always theirs. You will not help them if you are constantly buzzing around them vacuuming their house when they need silence/fixing the latch on a window they prefer to leave open/taking them to see people they do not like/spending 2 hours teaching them how to make a recipe when they never cook anything that takes more than 10 minutes. You can only offer – they know themselves best, so they know what will help them and what won’t, so you must let them tell you and you must listen.
Sometimes there will be things your friend or family member is or isn’t doing that you are convinced are really bad for them, and you want to change this. Remember that if you try to force it, you could make things worse. Talk to them about it openly and honestly, and listen to what they say (in particular regarding why it is happening). If you still think there is a better way, ask them again another time, but don’t force things now.
8. Help them manage their illness.
Again, putting pressure on your friend or family member to do things when they are not ready is a hindrance, not a help. You need to be patient and let them make their own decisions. But they will need medical treatment, and, if they need or want support in this, there are a number of things you could do. For example:
- Going with them to medical appointments (they might not want you to go into the appointment with them, but driving them there and back and giving moral support can be a great help)
- Going with them to support groups (they might not want you to go into the group with them, but driving them there and back and giving moral support can be a great help)
- Making yourself aware of the symptoms of their condition, and how best to deal with them.
- Finding out what services are available that they qualify for and that might help them, for example medical services, support groups, advocacy services, social services and emergency mental health services. Click here for information on services in your area.
- Making sure they remember to take medication and do not go off it suddenly (going off mental health drugs suddenly can have a devastating impact on a patient’s health)
- Helping them to accept that they have a mental health condition and that they need treatment for it (medication and/or therapy, plus a lot of self-management).
This can be hard to accept, just as it can be for patients with physical health conditions. They may struggle with the fact that they can no longer do things they used to do, or feel how they used to feel. You can help them by telling them that that’s OK, that things are just a little different now, and that it’s not their fault. Help them to understand that they can help themselves by learning to manage their illness.
- Understanding that your friend or family member will need to do a lot of work on their own, and will need a lot of support from their friends and family, to manage their condition and work towards wellness.
Doctors can only help so much: it is the patient who must do the most work, to implement all the advice given by doctors and treatment plans, and to work hard every day to try and break through negative thought processes and irrational feelings and beliefs. The hardest job will always be theirs, not yours and not the doctors’. But if you can be there for them as they work their way through it, encourage them, congratulate them on small successes, and help them pick up the pieces when they fall down, you CAN help them to manage their condition.
- Visiting them in hospital
If your friend or family member is admitted to a mental health facility, you should visit them in just the same way as you would if they were admitted to a physical health facility. This means all the usual things you might do: text or ring first to ask if they’re up to a visit, take them chocolate or a teddy bear, and have a nice normal chat to distract them from their circumstance for a while (having a “normal” chat makes one feel “normal”, which is very important) and make them feel that somebody cares (given that many people with mental health conditions suffer from low self-esteem, this is particularly important).
It also means following the same respectful rules as you would with a physical health patient, such as not disturbing them when they’re resting and not staying too long in case you tire them out.
- Monitoring their relationship with healthcare professionals. Some mental health conditions can cause patients to be mistrustful of health professionals and not follow their advice. Conversely, some health professionals can make diagnostic and treatment decisions through assumptions made based on observation of the patient’s behaviour in crisis, which can be drastically different to their behaviour when they’re not in crisis. Equally, the way the person interacts with health professionals can be drastically different to the way they interact with their friends and family members, and this can also lead to incorrect conclusions being drawn about a patient’s condition, character, diagnosis and treatment. A significant contributing factor to all three of these problems is the fact that many people with mental health conditions struggle to express themselves openly, meaning that health professionals often lack vital information due to their patients either not telling them things at all or not explaining things effectively.
If you become aware that your friend or family member is having problems working effectively with mental health professionals to treat their illness, DON’T IGNORE IT. Anything which impacts on the ability of a patient and healthcare professional to work together effectively is a MAJOR problem which can have an enormous impact on both the short and long term health of the patient. And sadly, very many mentally ill people have died before they had the chance to get their treatment right. This is colossally important. If you become aware of a problem in the doctor-patient relationship, investigate (calmly, and without apportioning blame), speak up, and do whatever you can to help fix it. It is best not to direct blame anywhere, but to explore all possible reasons and solutions – and there are people and organisations than can help you with this. Click here for more info on these.
You may not have any medical training yourself, but as a friend or family member, YOU know the person’s basic character better than their doctors do. NEVER sit back and think, “The doctors know best.” Doctors know a lot, and they work very hard and we could not survive without them, but it is only when they, the patient and the patient’s friends and family work together that long term mental health management and recovery can be achieved. YOU can help achieve that. Click here for more info on how.
In some cases, addressing these problems may mean that your friend or family member needs to change doctors or treatment facilities. This is quite common in mental health treatment. To treat a broken bone, all you need is somebody who knows how to fix bones, but to treat mental health conditions, you need a doctor with whom you can develop a rapport and a trust-based relationship, to have deeply personal conversations with over a prolonged treatment period. It can therefore take longer to find the right person to treat a mental health condition than to treat a broken leg – and the right person may be different for different people.
- Monitoring the way your friend or family member is treated by hospitals and emergency services.
Practises you might have thought were relegated to the dark ages of confined mental prisons like Bedlam and Blackwell’s Island, for example strapping patients to beds for extended periods, DO still happen. And the impact on the patient’s health can be catastrophic (as indeed it would traumatise even a mentally well person). So keep a watchful eye out.
9. Follow through. If you have shown your friend or family member that you are sticking by them and are willing to help, you might be the one they contact when they are really in trouble. This could be quite challenging for you, but please remember that in order for them to ask this of you, they must have first acknowledged that they need help (very hard), gathered the strength to ask for help (even harder) and chosen you because they think you are the best person to help them (and they might have nobody else). So, gather your strength and be there to help your friend or family member through their darkest times.
To find out what you need to know in a mental health crisis situation, click here.
*Very important* Look after yourself too! You can’t help others if you are not in a good mental state yourself, and looking after someone with a mental illness can expose you to significant stress, worry, frustration and, in some cases, serious trauma.

Who’s excited for a World of Dance?! No, we’re not talking about some massive, worldwide dance day. We’re talking about the exciting new reality dance show, where the best dancers from around the globe will compete for $1.0 million! And, of course, only the best dancers are judges on the show.
NBC is packing on the entertainment this summer! Not only is America’s Got Talent returning with an all new season, we will see some of the best dancers take the stage on World of Dance. The show features dancers —solo and group— from all styles, competing for the grand prize of $1.0 million. These are the best dancers in the world, and they can only be judged by the best. The World of Dance judges are itching to get on stage themselves, and with this lineup of judges, we won’t complain if they do! They are, after all, the biggest stars of dance today. Who are the World of Dance judges? Check them out right here!
It’s official! Jenny from the block will be one of the judges on World of Dance! J-Lo currently stars in the NBC drama, Shades of Blue, which she also executive produces. Now, she’s expanding her producing credits with this new reality dance competition, and is back in the judges chair for World of Dance. Lopez is going back to her roots on the dance floor, and we can’t wait to see her spice things up on the show!
“It’s like a dream come true and, like, the perfect job for me. In a sense, we created literally the perfect show for me to be a part of,” Lopez said calling dance her “first form of artistic expression.” The former American Idol judge started her career as a dancer with the Fly Girls —the house dance crew of Fox’s In Living Color. She went from Janet Jackson’s backup dancer to a popstar, actress, designer, and even author.
Having been a struggling dancer herself, Lopez felt that the show was a way to give back to the dance community. “I ate one slice of pizza each day —no breakfast, no lunch. I would eat it at 6 p.m., so it would hold me over until the next day. That’s how I lived, once I moved out of my mom’s house, and I did that for a couple of years before I got my first big job, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
Jenna Dewan Tatum
Jenna Dewan Tatum’s life revolves around dance. She was a backup dancer for Janet Jackson, Christian Aguilera, and Pink before her breakout role in the dance feature film, Step Up, where she met Channing Tatum. The couple is now married and have a beautiful daughter. After recurring roles in TV shows, Dewan Tatum is returning to dance with World of Dance.
Though not a judge, she will be the show’s host and she will help mentor the contestants. J-Lo shared a clip of her rehearsing a routine with Dewan Tatum, and the girls simply slayed. No surprise there! These ladies have been dancing professionally since forever, and we’re all too glad to see Dewan Tatum dancing again! Perhaps a routine with her husband could be in the works?
— Jennifer Lopez (@JLo) May 28, 2017
We missed Derek Hough on Dancing with the Stars this season, but we are happy to report that the born-and-bred dancer is back on our TV screens once again! Not only is he the six-time champion in the history of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, but his routines have also won Emmys. He’s also brought classic productions like Singin’ in the Rain and Footloose to the stage. Most recently, he starred alongside Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, and Martin Short in Hairspray Live.
For such a prolific dancer, you’d think sitting behind the desk and watching other mind blowing acts would be difficult. As Hough puts it, “There are definitely moments when I feel like I want to get up and dance with them, absolutely. I get itchy feet. With that said, I actually felt quite comfortable straight away. I got the judging groove pretty quick.”
Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, Ne-Yo joins Lopez and Hough as a judge on World of Dance. If you have doubts about his dancing abilities, rewatch Stomp the Yard and Save the Last Dance 2. Or you can check out his effortless moves in any of his music videos!
Ne-Yo took a break from fame when he recently married, and became more focused on his wife and newborn baby. When he returned to music, the show piqued his interest. “A lot of people don’t really know this,” Ne-Yo said, “But dancers are NOT paid well. At all.” He added that even dancers who perform with the biggest stars don’t get the respect and fame they deserve. What drew him to the show was the opportunity to give dancers the “respect, recognition and financial compensation that they so absolutely deserve.” Ne-Yo expects the contestants to dance like their life depends on it and nothing less. It looks like we know who the toughest judge on the panel will be!
World of Dance premieres tonight at 10 pm EST only on NBC.

Maggie Q poses for PETA, talks serious veg business »
Quoth Ms. Maggie Q in the Huffington Post:
There’s no way to look at the meat industry today and say, “There’s no environmental impact.” Animals grown for food pollute our air, our soil, our water, our streams, our oceans. And these are United Nations statistics; these are not statistics from PETA or animal rights groups. The United Nations four or five years ago put out a study that said the meat industry, meat-eating, growing meat for food is the No. 1 killer of our planet—not No. 2 or No. 3: No 1. You know what’s No. 2? Transportation. Everyone thinks that No. 1 is transportation, and goes out and buys a hybrid car. Screw the hybrid cars. Don’t eat hamburgers. If you don’t eat a hamburger, your carbon footprint is so much less than driving a hybrid car, I can’t even tell you.
She doesn’t call herself vegan, but she doesn’t talk like she consumes any animal products, and she loves VegNews (all the good people love VegNews, duh), and this interview she gave to HuffPo following her new PETA ad is pretty great. Vegansaurus doesn’t have a lot of love for PETA [Except Megan! -Megan], but we do appreciate a smart, ridiculously beautiful woman advocating a veg diet using feelings and dispassionate facts. You win this round, Maggie Q and your international torso.
[Can’t see the video? Watch it on Vegansaurus.com!]
Bill Maher on the new release of Ingrid Newkirk’s Free the Animals. Go read the whole thing on HuffPo and tell me what you think. I don’t like a lot of their advertising but PETA has done quite a bit in other arenas.
HuffPo, the great aggregator, reports on a report from the Telegraph on how the tiger got its stripes, and how the leopard got its spots. The answer is: magic! No, the answer is genetics. Morphogens! Alan Turing! Enigma Machine! These things are loosely connected, but it’s fun to smash them together and see what comes up. In this case: stripes and spots. Sorry you’re such a liar, Rudyard Kipling.

[Hilarious picture my grandpa sent me, from his friend: “People living in Colorado Springs wondered why their rainwater barrel was almost empty every day. They set up a couple of cameras and look what they caught on film”]
I meant to post this a while ago: an interview with the lovely Leanne from Vaute Couture!
FitSugar has a list of five books to help you go vegan. Did your favorite make the list?
I stumbled upon this site, Keep it Wild, that has a great article about what to do instead of going to the zoo. Let’s go do this stuff!
Time's take on this bullshit about banning undercover filming at factory farms.
Did you “like” my Megans United to Save Megan the Lab Chimp page yet? You don’t have to be a Megan. Let’s start a revolution!
Did you see this shit about arsenic in chicken? What. The fuck.
My discussion topic of the week: Did you see this piece in HuffPo about why veganism makes non-vegans so angry? Why do you think they get so angry? I think they are bitter because we are morally superior! In my humble opinion.
This Dish is Veg responded to the HuffPo piece by defending the omnis. What do you think?
WTF. This resort in Singapore captured a bunch of dolphins to entertain guests. It’s super sad. Two have already died. Sign this petition! Because that’s bullshit.
Care2 has an article on butterfly first aid! Did you ever imagine such a thing?!
Eleven-year-old raises $150,000 for Gulf Coast birds. What have you done for me lately? »
Damn, 11-year-old, way to make us look bad! Olivia, a young bird-lover, was totally saddened by the images of pelicans and other birds covered in oil after the BP oil spill and wanted to do something about it! So she offered her services to the Audubon Society:
Dear Audubon Society:
As you all are aware of, the oil spill in the Gulf is devistating [sic]. My mom has already donated a lot of money to help, but I have an idea that may also help. I am a decent drawer, and I was wondering if I could sell some bird paintings and give the profits to your organization.
OMGJesus how adorable? Olivia started selling her bird paintings and sold 500 in three weeks, garnering over $150,000. She’s now illustrated a book, Olivia’s Birds, the proceeds of which go to the Audubon Society’s conservation program. What the hell was I doing when I was 11? Watching Jem and eating Fundip. What a jerk.

[Deer and Goose are BFF. Your cute animal viral video of the week!]
Ecorazzi had a post today where they quoted yours truly! In Martha Stewart, Honey and the Great Vegan Debate, they discuss the state of honey in the vegan community. Is honey vegan? Do bees count? Go comment and weigh in!
From City’s Best, “10 Meatless Musts in San Francisco." Vegansaurus is about to drop a similar list so be on the lookout. Ours will of course be not only informative but also the funniest ever.
Recently, Huffpo did a piece about the best sandwiches in the U.S. and none were vegan. Now they’re all vegan! Huzzah! A bunch of vegan bloggers—like, everyone besides us—created vegan versions of each sandwich. Maybe next time we’ll be included, eh? Just kidding! Cooking is for the womenfolk.
Our Hen House (who I hear was at the Martha Stewart episode with me but I didn’t meet them!) has started a cool endeavor, The Gay Animal Series, about the relationship between gay rights and animal rights. Check it out! You will feel so cultured and smart, you can skip the next This America Life! Which works out great for me because when you rehash the episode to me in detail, that’s not actually a conversation.
The Village Voice has an NYC guide to tofu—imagine that! I love me some tofu so I’m all over this one. It’s all the best tofu from various restaurants throughout the city. I haven’t been to any of them. How come you never take me out anymore!
Head over to A Soy Bean for a recap of the NYC Vegetarian Food Fest last weekend. Treehugger has a review too but no pictures! There’s a few videos, but no pictures? We love the pictures! Abby Bean has a ton of pictures. Pictures.
Cheeky Chicago has a nice post on how to make a variety of vegan cheese-substitutes. Walnut Parmesan Sprinkles? YES DEFINITELY GIVE IT HERE.
For a little homespun fun, check out Laura’s The Week in Vegan at SF Weekly. Leave a comment, let her know you care! And let SF Weekly know we vegans are plentiful and emotive.
Babe in Soyland has a great post about veganism and the idea that it means AUTOMATIC weight-loss. Here’s a taste: “People need to know that vegans come in ALL shapes and sizes and that fat vegans (the ones I’ve met are proud to be both fat and vegan) aren’t doing something “wrong” in their vegan diets. There is no “stereotypical vegan”—unless the stereotype is having awesomely low cholesterol.” Read it and tell me what you think.
Finally, from Lovely Bike, a list of vegan bike saddles! That means bike seats. I’m partial to this first one they’ve picked out, it’s the hotness:
File under WTF: HuffPo has a piece about “passionate” farmers dedicated to preserving bison SO WE CAN EAT THEM. Here’s the amazing video from one such farmer where he first tells us how he fell in love with this amazing animal and then how great the meat is.
They are calling bison “the meat of the future.” Um, no it’s not, dummies! It’s the meat of Dances With Wolves; in-vitro meat is the true meat of the future! How much more future can you get than science-meat?! This whole article is ridiculous, actually: “I, personally, was touched by Ed’s story and his connection to the animals (something I think you’ll feel while watching the video). Being a former president of the National Bison Foundation, he’s eager to teach you all he can about the bison’s rich, yet devastating history and why it’s important to support small farmers like him to help grow the industry.”
I too was personally touched* by this video, touched by the WTF INSANITY! This is the end of the bison’s “devastating history”? To be served up as an “exotic” entree to “adventurous” foodies? Yeah, not only is grinding an animal into burger a totally dignified end, it’s also a great way to show you love them. Lesson learned! Come here, Figgy! I love you and I’m hungry!
*haaa not like that!
Hello, friends! It’s WTF Wednesday! »
So Valentine’s Day happened, and it was pretty awesome, right? Any holiday that allows meto eat as much chocolate as I want and force Allen to take me out to an expensive dinner accompanied by many presents is a good one for me. Allen is actually kind of screwed this time of year because as soon as he is done paying the credit card bills for all of the presents I demanded in the name of commercialized romanticism, there’s my birthday! And our anniversary is only 13 days after that! I am going to need to rent another apartment just to be able to contain all of the presents I will be receiving (if Allen knows what is good for him). And Allen is going to have to pay for that apartment. And bring all the presents in. And fan me as I lay on a couch and eat bon-bons, because that is what you do when you love someone. Or at least, that’s what the Hallmark cards say!
While Allen spares no expense in order to keep me happy, a city in the nation of Kyrgyzstan is taking a decidedly different approach when it comes to the thousands of stray dogs living inside its walls. Stray dogs, friends, are a huge problem; I agree. Therefore I am glad that the city of Bishek is building shelters for these dogs and making sure they find proper homes. Just kidding! Bishek officials have decided that this is too expensive and have chosen instead to send teams of hunters out to shoot the dogs early in the morning and late at night. Approximately 10,000 dogs will be murdered due to budget constraints. That’s 5,000 more than last year. Bishek City Hall Spokesman Pavel Klimenko urges the world not to consider the act barbaric. Oh, OK then! As long as you asked! I really wish it worked that way. I bet Lindsay Lohan would also like to tell the boutique she stole from that she understands what she did doesn’t “look good,” but she urges them to not view it as theft. Problem solved! Trial canceled.
Listen up, Bishek, you don’t get to do that! What you’re doing is, in fact, incredibly barbaric and wrong. I get that you’re an impoverished nation, but what are you doing to control the breeding of all these dogs in the first place? Obviously not a lot considering that you “had” to kill 5,000 last year. Why don’t you get on that? Perhaps once you’ve stopped committing barbaric acts you won’t have to worry as much about assuring us that everything’s fine.
Surprise, surprise: More bad shit is happening over in Ciudad Juarez. This time, it’s 35 animals who froze to death in the Chihuahua Zoo! So much for the idea that Mexico is a sunny wonderland year-round! This really sucks. Not only does it suck that the animals are in the zoo, but also because they’re in trapped in cages and wouldn’t be able to do anything about their predicament even if they knew what to do—which is doubtful, because they don’t really teach you how to live outside of captivity in the zoo. Beyond that, where were the people who were supposed to be taking care of these animals? Was it too cold for anyone to show up at the zoo to see that all the heating was cut off? Did they attempt to do anything, or did they just suppose that fur would keep these animals warm during the coldest period Mexico has had in the past six decades? There are too many questions and not enough answers that don’t make me want explode like a dormant volcano, raining fire and brimstone on the people in charge of this debacle!
Here’s some more about animals freezing; luckily this time we know who to blame! Remember last week when we talked about that woman who sent a dog in the mail? Yeah, she was bad and we are super glad she is not getting her dog back, but what about breeders? Breeders send animals on planes all the time! Then they breed more animals, and I’m sure many of these animals end up in shelters because people decide they don’t want them anymore, and then they die because people don’t get pets from shelters but from breeders, perpetuating this horrible cycle of animal death and cruelty. Then kittens die. Adorable hairless kittens. So who’s to blame? The breeder who recklessly sent an animal in the cargo hold of a plane from Utah to Connecticut? Delta, for leaving the kitten on the ground in seven-degree weather for 50 minutes? Or the new owners, who would have “thrown a tantrum if they knew their cat was dying,” but didn’t think it more prudent NOT to have a cat a flown to them in the first place? The kitten’s name was Snickers! Let that be on your conscience, breeders and people who buy from them!
Thanks for sending me links, Tim, Alexandra, and Megan Rascal! Please send me more links for next week and have an awesome rest of the week. Thank god it’s a three-day weekend!
HuffPo published an article about the 10 best new sandwiches in the United States and of course, only one of them is even vegetarian. I call bullshit for several reasons. First and foremost, lots of these sandwiches ain’t even new! That Bakesale Betty Fried Chicken sandwich has been around for years and years and guess what? I invented that sandwich in the parking lot of a KFC when I was seven (responsible parenting, what what!). Secondly, I can’t eat almost all of them and I love sandwiches way more than any of those omnivore fucks. Screw that noise.
Luckily, vegan blog Namely Marly has my back. They responded to the meaty-meat-time sandwiches by having guest bloggers create vegan versions of them! In your FACE, AOL. The deeeeelicious-looking picture above is a a Bulgogi Steak Sandwich from the brilliant and lovely Allison of Manifest Vegan. And of course she made the bread so this bitch is gluten-free, to boot! Get the recipe and drool over other vegan sandwich creations at Namely Marly.
Via Simply Vegan: Oslo Fashion Week bans fur! »
From Huffington Post: Oslo Fashion Week Bans Fur (POLL).
Veganism isn’t just about diet. It’s about omitting all animal products. Supporting one end of the trade supports even those omitted and so the abuse that is endured is still endorsed. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming because animal products pop up virtually everywhere, but taking small steps and shifting gears and habits, it is easy to find that even in a non-vegan world, there is a vegan one full of endless options. No one is perfect (from reading my posts, you know that for as long as I have been vegan, I too make mistakes), but we all try and intention is everything, so start here: no fur, no leather, no wool.
If you click on that link to the HuffPo article, you can vote in the site poll, which as of Wednesday evening looked like this:
Is that it? Only 86 percent of voters are anti-fur? NOT ENOUGH!

Alice Roosevelt Longworth (Alice Lee Roosevelt)
BiographyNew York City, New York, USA
Alice Lee Roosevelt was the daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, then a New York state assemblyman. Her mother died two days after her birth; Theodore remarried 'Edith Kermit Carow' and established a family seat in Oyster Bay, Long Island, where Alice grew up amid wealth, tradition, and politics. When her father suddenly became U.S. president in 1901 after the death of President McKinley, Alice Roosevelt was thrust into the national spotlight. Read more... slavishly recorded her comings and goings, her defiance of conventions, and her acidic comments on her contemporaries. When asked by the press about his daughter's unconventional behavior, the President sighed, "I can control the affairs of state, or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both." In 1906 she married Ohio Representative Nicholas Longworth. Though the marriage was generally an unhappy one, the Longworth house was a center of Republican conviviality. Longworth became speaker of the House of Representatives in 1925, the same year that Alice gave birth to the couple's only child, Paulina, at the age of 41. After Longworth's death in 1931, Alice remained near Washington politics and capital social life. She campaigned against her fifth cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and her scathing imitation of her first cousin Eleanor was favorite entertainment in Republican social circles during the New Deal. In 1934 she published her memoirs, 'Crowded Hours.' She famously kept a pillow in her parlor, embroidered with the words, "If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me." Her acerbic wit, gossip, and irreverence were legendary and were frequently recorded. Even in old age she was a fixture of the Washington scene, earning the nickname "Washington's other monument." She died at her home in 1980 at the age of 96.
