Tuesday's resignation of RNC member Sean Mahoney was propitious timing for the would-be congressional candidate: ahead a of midterm election where anger at the powers that be inside the Republican Party is high, what better way to protest the shenanigans of chairman Michael Steele?
But Mahoney should look in the mirror. He was a steadfast support of Steele's. The reason why Steele was elected by the membership was because he was to be the public voice of a party transitioning to a new generation, a new way of thinking. Steele sold himself as someone who would vigorously argue the case of the Republican Party in public and effectively represent his brand. Turns out, though, that Steele isn't as good of a communicator as he thought... that no one is in the mood to listen to arguments about why Republicans are better than Democrats...that Steele would not be counted on to discipline himself like RNC leaders in the past. Steele wasn't elected to manage the party -- the party basically manages itself.
The daily operation of the committee was run by a trifecta of forces: long-time RNC field operative and consultant Blaize Hazelwood, party strategist Curt Anderson and Ken McKay, an outsider Anderson recruited to serve as chief of staff.
That management structure did not work. Anderson and Hazelwood were often at odds, leaving decisions unmade. Steele, amiable enough, didn't find a core team of communication professionals to tend to his public image. Alex Castellanos, an informal unpaid consultant, publicly signaled his displeasure with Steele yesterday. Then again, it's fashionable to scapegoat Steele for problems that have less to do with him and more to do with the state of political parties and the mood of Republicans themselves.
Bondage-gate -- a $2000 charge that represents spare change to the committee -- may have been the proximate cause for McKay's firing, but the fact that Anderson left with him suggests that management problems were deeper. Hazelwood knows how to run campaigns but isn't widely liked, is now firmly in charge, for now. Feelers to other potential chiefs of staff have so far been rebuffed. Who would want the job?
The biggest thing the RNC does is in an election year is become a conduit to flow money and resources to targeted races. But there are ways around that -- much like the Democratic congressional committees worked around Howard Dean in 2006. And though the Dems are raising more money, the RNC is keeping pace. It's working well with state parties, sharing targeting data with campaigns, keeping research files on the 2012 Democrats -- doing the sort of things that modern political parties do. Just this morning, it announced an $11.4 million fundraising month. It's debt-free, and has about $11m cash on hand. That's less than normal, but Steele hopes to have about $30 million in reserves to spend on the fall elections. (Democrats continue to outraise Republicans, thanks to the fundraising allure of President Obama and Vice President Biden.)
The real question to ask when pondering Steele's future is to ask House Minority Leader John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Haley Barbour what they think. It's their perceptions that really matter. If they can work around the controversy and work around the RNC, they will. If they can't, they'll move to force Steele out -- very quickly. So far, it's not a problem. The Republican Governors Association has more money than it's ever had, and Barbour says they can raise more if they need to. The NRSC and NRCC have plenty of money; Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie are raising at least $30 million to fund a 527 political organization. Other outside groups are in the works. Major state parties are doing really well on their own, including Michigan, California, Ohio.
The RNC as a committee is weak and divided. There is no alternative candidate or party chair waiting in the wings. And the party is right in the middle of a campaign, with weeks away from the start of the primary season. A leadership race right now would distract time, resources and money. It's not in the cards.
Steele might be in real trouble in the period from November through January -- when the presidential candidates decide whether he is a liability or a distraction. Such a decision would likely be made collectively -- and a consensus candidate would be pre-chosen, in essence.
Does Michael Steele's big mouth and these financial hiccups -- really, $2000 at a strip club is a hiccup -- threaten the party's political future? Not more so than if Steele resigned or was forced out.

|Presidents of Kosovo and Albania discuss cooperation and Kosovo status
TIRANA, June 28, 2006 (BETA) - Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu stated on June 27 that the Albanian population in Kosovo had to accept the Serb minority and live with them.
"This is an important task at this time. Kosovo wants internal stability... and has a special obligation towards the minorities," Sejdiu said at a news conference held after the meeting with Albanian President Alfred Moisiu.
"This is a part of our obligation to prove ourselves," said Sejdiu, who is paying a two-day visit to Albania. "The Albanians have to become an example of good neighbors, a strong guarantee of further integration processes," he added.
Moisiu praised the Kosovo president for steps he was taking together with Premier Agim Ceku in order to come closer to the Serb minority in Kosovo. These steps "are speaking about the resolve of Kosovo politicians to view the Serbs as equals in the future of Kosovo," he said.
Sejdiu meets Albanian President
TIRANA, June 28, 2006 (KosovaLive) - Kosovo's President Fatmir Sejdiu and his Albanian counterpart Alfred Moisiu said in Tirana that it is being worked for respecting of the guiding principles of the Contact Group; which rule out partition of Kosovo, its return to pre 1999 situation or its joining with the other countries.
"Kosovo needs to fulfill the international standards as soon as possible and after independence, which is a natural process, to be able to fulfill all requirements arising from EU integration processes," he said.
Albanian President Alfred Moisiu said that Albania was, is ,and will be in favor of independence, which will contribute to peace and stability of the region. "Albanians are a nation who forgive but not forget, and they should forgive for realization of ideals that lie ahead - such as independence," Moisiu said.
Alfred Moisu highlighted the need for intensification of cooperation between the two countries. He said that the relations with Kosovo will take a new pulse after construction of Durres- Merdare highway.
President Sejdiu starts visit to Albania
PRISTINA, June 27, 2006 (KosovaLive) - Kosovo's President Fatmir Sejdiu started his two day visit to Albania at the invitation of his counterpart.
President will be meeting with Albanian leaders; President Alfred Moisiu, Prime Minister Sali Berisha, Parliament Speaker Jozefina Topalli, and with other political leaders.
This is his first visit to US, since Sejdiu took over the post of President.
Jessen-Petersen leaving Kosovo
PRISTINA, June 27, 2006 (BETA) - UNMIK chief Soren Jessen-Petersen will be returning to Kosovo on June 27 to finish his mandate and say good bye to the province's political leadership and his associates, BETA was told by UNMIK.
The Danish diplomat will visit Pristina on June 27-29 to meet with senior officials in Kosovo and to hold a farewell news conference.
On June 12, Jessen-Petersen announced that he would be leaving his post before the end of the month, after holding office for almost two years.
The June 26 edition of the Zeri newspaper said that U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan would reveal Jessen-Petersen's successor this week and that German Joachim was the most serious candidate for the position.
Jessen-Petersen invited for a farewell speech
PRISTINA, June 27, 2006 (KosovaLive) - Kosovo's Parliament Presidency decided to invite Soren Jessen-Petersen for a farewell speech in the end of his mission as the UN Special Representative of the Secretary General to Kosovo.
Jessen-Petersen ends his mission in a week time. Next Monday he will report for the last time before the MPs on the course of the political process on status.
The LDK in today's meting has also requested the Minister of Environment and Spatial Planning Ardian Gjini for a question time.
UNMIK: Kostunica wants to visit Kosovo for religious reasons
PRISTINA, June 27, 2006 (BETA) - On June 26, UNMIK approved Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica's request to visit Kosovo on Vidovdan, St Vitus' Day, June 28, explaining that the visit was for religious reasons and that it hoped it would stay within these confines.
UNMIK spokesperson Neeraj Singh told the Kosovo media that the U.N. mission had responded positively to the prime minister's request to visit Kosovo.
"We received Mr. Kostunica's request to visit Kosovo. We realized that the visit was being organized for religious reasons and we would like it to remain within these confines" for the visit to remain of a religious and not a political nature, Sing said.
Meanwhile, representatives of Kosovo's institutions opposed Kostunica's visit to the province.
Kosovo Assembly Speaker Kol Berisha said he opposed Kostunica's visit because of, as he said, the prime minister's stance on Kosovo.
The Kosovo government also said it opposed the visit, while Ulpiana Lama, a spokeswoman for the Kosovo premier, said that Kostunica had neither been invited to the province nor was he welcome.
Canada worried about incidents in Kosovo
BELGRADE, June 26, 2006 (BETA) - Canada is worried about the latest incidents in Kosovo and it feels that tensions between the Albanian majority and Serb minority are still one of the most serious threats to the region's stability, Canadian Ambassador in Belgrade Robert Paul McDougall said on June 26.
Canada does not have an a prior stance on the solution to Kosovo's status, but it thinks that whatever the solution is it must guarantee the rule of law, the protection of minority rights and regional stability, McDougall during a lecture on "The Priorities of Canadian Foreign Policy in the Balkans" which he gave at the Belgrade Institute for International Politics and the Economy.
The Canadian ambassador called on the Kosovo authorities "to fully" implement the standards of a democratic society and to implement all 13 priorities defined by the Contact Group in this process by October.
At the same time, McDougall called on Belgrade to encourage Kosovo Serbs to participate in the province's provisional institutions, explaining that "only by participating in political and social life will the Serb community be able to achieve its interests.

Chen vs. Yankees
TIME/TV: 8:10 p.m. / YES Network
UMPIRES: HP Gary Cederstrom, 1B Ed Hickox, 2B Fieldin Culbreth, 3B Mike Muchlinski
WEATHER: It’s Missouri. It’s hot and it’s humid. Just like I remember it.
NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT: None of the current Royals has ever hit a home run off CC Sabathia, but oddly enough, they’ve hit for a pretty solid average against the big lefty. As a group, the current Royals have a .289 career average against Sabathia and three guys with the most at-bats — Bloomquist, Butler and Kendall — have individual averages of .320, .360 and .381.
EXACTLY WHAT YOU EXPECT: As a group, the current Yankees have a career batting line of .309/.378/.612 against Bruce Chen. Mark Teixeira is coming back at the right time. He’s 9-for-14 with six home run against Chen. That’s a 2.071 slugging percentage.
THREE AWAY: Kerry Wood needs three strikeouts to reach 1,500 for his career.
MORE MILESTONES FOR THE CAPTAIN: With three hits last night, Derek Jeter passed Mel Ott for 38th place on baseball’s all-time hits list. According to Elias, Jeter now has the most hits for any player while playing for a New York team. He needs one more hit to tie Frankie Frisch for 37th all-time.
UPDATE, 9:05 p.m.: Sorry for the lack of updates until now. I’ve been wrapping up early stories for the paper, finally eating dinner and talking to Jason Zillo about hope week. In that time, Curtis Granderson got an RBI single in his first at-bat and Mark Teixeira had a sac fly.
Now Austin Kearns has gone deep, and Granderson has doubled in his second AB. Th Yankees are up 3-0 and Kevin Long is clearly a genius.
UPDATE, 9:18 p.m.: Back-to-back two-out hits have put the Royals on the board. Pretty good throw by Granderson, but he couldn’t beat Gordon to the plate. It’s a 3-1 Yankees lead.
UPDATE, 9:35 p.m.: After botching it the first time, the Royals got a second time to turn a double play and got it done this time. It’s still a 3-1 lead.
UPDATE, 9:37 p.m.: Royals center fielder Gregor Blanco left the game with heat exhaustion and dehydration. He’s expected to play tomorrow.
UPDATE, 10:10 p.m.: Yankees take advantage of an error to build their lead to 4-1. If Sabathia doesn’t pitch a complete game, I’ll be surprised.
UPDATE, 10:42 p.m.: Sabathia is at 100 pitches after eight innings.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a global agricultural production report showing that cotton production in the CFA franc zone for 2022/23 is expected to be 5.4 million bales, down 100,000 bales or 2% from last month, down 600,000 bales or 9% from the previous year’s record production and down 1% from the 5-year average.
Cotton harvested area is expected to be 3.1 million hectares, down 78,000 hectares or 2% from last month, but up 12,000 hectares from last year. Yield is expected to be 378 kilograms per hectare, almost unchanged from last month and down 8 percent from the 5-year average. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Overseas Agricultural Service office in Dakar said the decrease in cotton area in Mali was due to crop damage caused by flooding and bollworm.

SpaceX launched 22 Starlink internet satellites to orbit from California on Sunday (Oct. 29), on the first of two planned missions for the day.
A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base on Sunday at 5 a.m. EDT (0900 GMT; 2 a.m. local California time).
The Falcon 9's first stage came back to Earth for a vertical landing about 8.5 minutes after launch on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
It was the seventh launch and landing for this rocket's first stage, according to the mission description.
The 22 Starlink satellites, meanwhile, were scheduled to deploy from the Falcon 9's upper stage about 62.5 minutes after liftoff.
Sunday morning's launch is scheduled to be the first of a doubleheader for SpaceX. The company also plans to loft 23 Starlink craft from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Sunday at 7:45 p.m. EDT (2345 GMT).
The Starlink broadband megaconstellation is ever-growing, as these two missions show. There are currently about 4,900 operational Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit, and SpaceX has permission to deploy about 12,000 of the craft.

Sheen blasts Days of Our Lives producers
Charlie Sheen has blasted producers of US daytime soap Days of Our Lives for allegedly firing his friend, actor Chandler Massey.
Massey's gay character Will Horton will be recast after show bosses decided to replace the actor - and Sheen is far from happy.
In an angry tweet, Sheen fired off at the show's producers on Friday.
"Hey Days of Our Lives producers - newsflash you two dollar pig ph*****s: now your show REALLY sux!! you fired Chandler Massey??"
Massey, who won two Daytime Emmys for playing Will Horton, has taken the news better than his friend.
A statement he released on Friday said: "I'm done. It's bittersweet. These four years have been so amazing. I've built a family here. I'm so grateful to everyone for these amazing four years."
Sheen is not unfamiliar with being fired - he was sacked from the comedy show Two and a Half Men in 2011.

The aim of this study was to investigate kinematic mechanism of gait different road conditions(dry vs. oil) in order women. For this study, twenty older women and ten young women participated in this research. twelve infrared cameras were used to collect data. It appeared that the gait strategies of older women were slower velocity and higher CoM than young women. Depending on road conditions, gait velocities of dominant muscle older women on dry surface were faster than dominant sense older women, but those of them were inverse on oil surface. The slip displacement of dominant muscle older women was less than young women, but the slip displacement of dominant sense older women was greater than young women. In case of blind during stance phase on oil surface, the rotational motion of the ankle and knee joints were increased. In conclusion, older women were subjected to self-organization theory and phase shift in dynamic theory.

It seems like the Xiaomi Mi 7 and Mi Band 3 could become official before the end of this month, at least according to China-based tipsters. @IceUniverse said on his official Weibo (Chinese social network), that the Xiaomi Mi 7 will arrive before the end of May, and @Kumamoto actually agreed with that assessment, while he also added that the phone will be announced in Shenzen, and that the Mi Band 3 fitness tracker will be announced alongside the company's new flagship smartphone.
Having said that, a poster leaked quite recently suggesting that the phone will arrive on May 23, though reports suggested that it's fake, so it remains to be seen if there's any truth there. In any case, the Mi 7 was expected to arrive in April, but the company decided to announce the Mi MIX 2S instead, so the Mi 7's launch got postponed a bit, and rumors suggested that the phone will be announced at the end of summer, but if these new rumors are to be believed, the phone will actually arrive by the end of May. Xiaomi had already teased the arrival of the Mi Band 3, and as part of the company's teaser image, which was published recently, a part of the Mi Band 3's design was revealed as well. That fitness tracker will sport a display, just like the Mi Band 2, but it will sport a lot more curves than its predecessor it seems. A silicone band will be included in the package, and chances are that a heart rate sensor will sit on the bottom of the Mi Band 3, just like it was the case on the Mi Band 2.
The Xiaomi Mi 7, on the other hand, will be fueled by the Snapdragon 845 64-bit octa-core processor, while it will include at least 6GB of RAM. the device is rumored to sport a display notch, like many other Chinese smartphones out there, while an in-display fingerprint scanner ad also been mentioned, though it remains to be seen if there's any truth to that. The phone will supports wireless charging, while Android Oreo will come pre-installed on the device, likely with MIUI 9.5. The device is expected to sport a dual camera setup on its back, and its display will be larger than the panel used in the Mi 6 (5.15-inch one), but the general footprint of the phone is not expected to be much larger, as the phone will sport noticeably thinner bezels than the Mi 6.

The Flow is one of the more conceptual projects I've done. The brief was to design a vehicle which would represent Opel in 2049.
The Flow is a single seater zero emission vehicle, that allows the people to navigate the city in a relaxed way. When not in use it integrates to the infrastructure to provide resting places and to recharge itself.
Because of this project I was privileged to get to visit the Opel design studios in Rüsselsheim after which I spent the summer there working as a intern.

At least 13 people were crushed to death or asphyxiated as partygoers tried to flee a Lima nightclub after it was raided by police for hosting a party in violation of coronavirus restrictions.
At least six were injured, including three police officers, as around 120 people tried to escape the Thomas Restobar club in Lima’s Los Olivos district on Saturday night as police arrived to break up the event, which neighbors had reported, national police and government officials said.
The club’s owners, a married couple, were detained, the Interior Ministry said on Sunday. In an earlier statement the ministry blamed the deaths on the “criminal irresponsibility of an unscrupulous businessman.”
The partygoers had become trapped between the only entrance door, which was closed, and a staircase leading to the street, police said. The 13 victims were 11 men and two women between the ages of 20 and 30.
Peru ordered the closure of nightclubs and bars in March and banned extended family gatherings on Aug. 12 to fight what is Latin America’s second highest COVID-19 infection rate, according to a NYK Daily tally. A Sunday curfew is also in effect.
Peru’s women’s minister, Rosario Sasieta, called for harsh penalties for the club’s owners.
“I ask for the maximum sanction for the owners of this place, which has really been irresponsible, and we are talking about a malicious homicide for profit,” Sasieta told journalists during a visit to the site on Sunday morning.
“Knowing that there is a health emergency, knowing that not even at home you can meet with relatives who do not live there, you have the irresponsibility of opening a place for 120 people to enter?” Sasieta added.
Representatives of the nightclub were not immediately available to comment.
At least 23 partygoers were detained by police as part of their investigation, the interior ministry said.
Peru had recorded a total of 585,236 coronavirus cases as of Saturday, double the number reported on July 2, while the known death toll has risen to 27,453.


07.07.2017 – Last Wednesday it was that time again – The doors opened at the Boll Automation site to welcome numerous specialists and managers from various industries to the “Day of robot-based reworking” event. The motto of the event this time, as the name suggests, revolved primarily around the topic of reworking surplus material with robots. Another focus of the event was on human-robot collaboration.
The day of robot-based post-processing started in the morning with exciting presentations, and in the afternoon the participants had the opportunity to experience various of our solutions live in small groups. The event ended with cool drinks and expert discussions in a cozy atmosphere.
Robot-based postprocessing day
André Peters, Managing Director of Boll Automation, kicked off our program of presentations with a welcoming speech and brief introduction of the company. Directly afterwards, Stefan Maier, Managing Director of Heidenreich & Harbeck GmbH, reported how Boll Automation was able to provide enormous added value for the company through an intelligent automation solution for fettling large, complex castings. The presentations were concluded by Carsten Krewet, Product Manager of Boll Automation, with an exciting presentation of our broad portfolio of solutions for the automation of finishing tasks for a wide range of component sizes and materials, which we offer for large batch sizes as well as for small batch sizes and a high number of variants.
After application-oriented presentations, the very popular live demonstrations followed after a joint lunch. Here, a total of eight stations with various live applications were demonstrated in small groups, including:
Finally, there was the opportunity for individual technical discussions. We were very pleased with the consistently positive feedback from the visitors and, on behalf of the entire team, would like to thank them once again for their participation, intense interest and gratifying feedback.
Among the participants was also an editor of the largest daily newspaper, the Main Echo. He reported on the event in the Saturday edition.

Def Jam’s Vice President of A&R Alexander Edwards and Amber Rose Are Dating
After calling it quits with 21 Savage and moving on, Amber Rose now has a new love interest. On Wednesday (Oct. 10), the model revealed that she loves Tyga's BFF, Def Jam’s Vice President of A&R Alexander Edwards.
Amber uploaded a photo to her Instagram page of her sitting next to her new boo. The pair were seen in matching Milano Di Rouge jackets and dark shades. "I don’t care what none of y’all say, I still Love him," she captioned her Instagram post.
Edwards had the same energy with a post to Instagram as well. In the video, he is seen with Amber by his side. "My twin," he captioned his post.
TMZ reports that the couple has been dating for a few weeks now. The pairing seems odd based on the friendship history. Tyga, who is best friends with Edwards, is the former flame of Blac Chyna, who is also Rose's best friend. Apparently, Blac Chyna and Tyga are supportive of Rose and Edwards' union.
In other Amber Rose-related news, last month, she expressed her anger over ex-boyfriend Kanye West and Lil Pump's new song "I Love It." Rose, who launched a SlutWalk movement to help empower women, finds it controversial that men get a pass when using words such as "hoe" and "slut" in a positive manner like Yeezy's new song. She makes reference to the 2015 The Breakfast Club interview West did where he said that he had to take 30 showers after dating Rose so he could court his wife Kim Kardashian-West.
"It becomes extremely frustrating when brands are 'inspired' by the movement and curate my actual life story and use it as a marketing tool," she began her Instagram post. "Two men made a song that said “you’re such a fucking hoe I love it” but if I refer to myself as a hoe, take back any derogatory label and turn it into a positive or be confident in my sexuality in anyway mufuckas need 30 showers.."
Take a look at Amber Rose and Vice President of A&R Alexander Edwards together below.

Win Marks Historic Grand Slam at Nation's Top Three Cheese Championships
GREEN BAY, Wis.
– Wisconsin cheesemakers continued their historic winning streak at the 2017 U.S. Championship Cheese Contest, sweeping the top awards and 31 competition classes. With the title of Grand Champion Cheese going to Sartori's Reserve Black Pepper BellaVitano, Wisconsin has won top honors at the country's three major cheese competitions over the past year.
Little Mountain from Roelli Cheese earned Best of Show at the American Cheese Society Competition in July, and Emmi Roth USA's Grand Cru Surchoix won the 2016 World Championship Cheese Contest, marking the first sweep of this kind.
"This winning streak is a testament to the tradition, innovation and commitment to excellence that Wisconsin dairy farmers and cheesemakers exemplify," said Suzanne Fanning, Vice President, National Product Communications, of the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board (WMMB). "It's further proof that Wisconsin not only makes the most cheese in the country, but the very best cheese, as well. This starts with producing the finest milk and maintaining the highest standards from the farm to the aging caves and beyond."
Made by Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker Mike Matucheski, Sartori's Reserve Black Pepper BellaVitano is an original Italian-style cheese hand-rubbed with cracked black peppercorns. Wisconsin also claimed the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest's First Runner Up prize for Aged Cheddar from Agropur and Second Runner Up for Marieke Gouda Belegen.
With a record-breaking 2,303 entries from 33 U.S. states, the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest is the largest technical cheese, butter and yogurt competition in the country. Wisconsin captured 60 percent of all awards, winning 184 awards total, including the top three titles, 62 Best of Class awards, 63 second place, and 56 third place awards. Sixteen of the 20 qualifying Best of Class cheeses were made by Wisconsin cheesemakers, and 53 Wisconsin cheese and dairy companies won one or more awards.

"Conversion law violation is a criminal offence now"
That's the headline of a recent newspaper article in The Times of India that refers to people converting from one religion to another. We call these laws "anti-conversion" laws and in our state it came into effect on April 1st after 5 years of pending.
The article states that, " From now on anyone wishing to convert (from one religion to another) will have to tell the government why they were doing it and for how long they had been following the religion which they were renouncing, failing which, they will be declared offenders and prosecuted under criminal laws."
Basically this law states that if you want to convert from one religion to another you have to get government permission to do so first. Failing to do so can get you arrested and charged under criminal charges - you know like, Murder and Rape. It's that high an offence.
There's not much I can say about this other than let's pray and watch what God will do.

I am short of breath. My brow is wet with sweat, and my fingertips are tingling. I can't seem to concentrate. I'm happy, but there's this idea nagging inside of me that I might lose that very happiness I'm feeling. That is indeed the cause of my anxiety. It's not the fault of the happiness per se, but rather that idea many people have that it can't last, and that life will be unbearable once it has forsaken us.
It's been 10 years since I've adopted Buddhism as my philosophy of life, before embracing it as my religion. It's deeply improved my well-being, more so than any other spiritual practice had done before.
One of my greatest reliefs was realizing that my suffering came from my desire that all that I enjoy must continue indefinitely. I suffered from not being able to accept every little thing in life just for what it was — swaying, temporary, free to stay or go, whether I liked it or not. Let's face it: A new television will at some point cease to function, that shiny new car will get its first scratch, your son will grow up, women will leave you, you will lose well-paid jobs, your reputation will be tarnished. In short, everything that brings you a certain joy is beyond your control and is bound to change, without forewarning or asking for your consent.
And yet, there's no shortage of occasions for lasting and sincere happiness. Offering a smile and receiving one in return, paying someone a real compliment, that feeling when you have someone's trust, seeing a flower that broke through stone to grow, listening to a child laughing, feeling the wind, the sun caressing your skin. All of those are out there for all of us now.
This full awareness, in vogue but very difficult to practice, indeed refers to the ability I might have to feel, with each of my senses, in my utmost focus on the present moment, these things in life I would normally pay almost no attention to.
Just as a magnifying glass can concentrate rays of light into a fire, I have that power to concentrate my rays of joy and set my soul ablaze for an intense moment of happiness. So, why can't we just all feel this joy in its purest form, without it being diluted by the anxiety, the fear it might slip away?

Feeling the moment in Tokyo — Photo: Mrhayata
All cognitive behavioral therapies, as well as all forms of spiritual wisdom, insist on the importance of working on our thoughts. Of course, when someone close to us dies or is in an accident, it's hard not to attribute your emotion to the event. The feeling of disgust provoked by an abhorrent crime is a revealing example too. And yet, though it's difficult to admit, our emotions stem from our thoughts, our perceptions, rather than from the events we experience. When we tell ourselves that a friend's passing has relieved him or her from great suffering is a way to offer solace through the rationality of thought.
But in the case of the happiness-related anxiety, it has more to do with the anticipation of an event that hasn't happened yet. The discomfort and sense of insecurity that this idea can cause easily grows into anxiety from the moment you convince yourself you'll be unable to overcome the impediment, that you'll be powerless to free yourself from that threat.
Albert Ellis, the American psychologist and founder of the rational emotive behavior therapy, left us the 12 irrational ideas that poison our existence and which, vigorously maintained by our thoughts, efficiently kills the strongest of joys. Here they are:
The idea that it's absolutely necessary for adults to be loved by significant others for almost everything they do.
The idea that certain acts are awful or evil, and that the people who perform such acts must be severely condemned.
The idea that it is horrible when things don't go the way we long for them to.
The idea that human misery is invariably caused by external factors.
The idea that if something is or may be dangerous or fearsome, we should be upset by and endlessly obsessed about it.
The idea that it is easier to avoid than to face life difficulties and self-responsibilities.
The idea that we absolutely need something (or someone) stronger or greater than ourselves to rely on.
The idea that we should be extremely competent, intelligent, and achieving in all possible respects.
The idea that because something once strongly affected our life, it should affect it indefinitely.
The idea that we must have total and perfect control over things.
The idea that human happiness can be achieved by inertia and inaction.
The idea that we have virtually no control over our emotions and that we cannot help feeling disturbed about things.
This transformation from one type of thinking to another, simply admitting the real and genuinely reasonable source of our suffering that these ideas represent is, as far as I'm concern, a daily struggle, despite all my efforts to keep these 12 ideas away from my mind.
Still, it helps to be reminded of them. And it relieves me to admit that they're the backdrop of the emotional misery I create for myself and that I should just let go of them. It shows me there's a solution. I hope that you can find it too.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that is triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as a serious accident, physical or sexual assault, war, natural disaster or other life-threatening experiences. People with PTSD can experience flashbacks and nightmares of the event, have difficulty sleeping and concentrate, be easily startled or angered, feel detached from friends and family, and have intrusive memories of the event. In some cases, they may avoid situations that remind them of the trauma or try to numb their emotions. Treatment for PTSD typically includes talk therapy techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychotherapy.
Understanding PTSD: An Introduction
When it comes to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), understanding the condition can be a challenge for those who haven’t experienced it. In its simplest form, PTSD is an anxiety disorder triggered by experiencing, witnessing or hearing about a traumatic event. Commonly associated with military veterans, anyone – regardless of occupation – can experience symptoms related to PTSD.
Many people don’t realize that physical reactions such as nightmares, flashbacks, irritability and insomnia are just some of the effects of PTSD that can appear long after the triggering event has occurred. Those afflicted often feel incredibly overwhelmed as memories of their trauma come back in vivid detail unexpectedly. As a result, they may avoid situations that could potentially trigger these memories or emotions in order to self-preserve from overwhelming themselves further.
It’s important for individuals experiencing PTSD to know they are not alone and resources exist for support such as therapy and online discussion forums where peers provide much needed support and advice on how to cope with mental health issues resulting from post-traumatic stress disorder. It’s also essential for family and friends seeking ways to offer help understand what exactly goes on when someone has experienced a traumatic event so they better comprehend why certain behaviors occur in response.
Symptoms of PTSD and How They Affect Individuals
PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a serious mental health condition that can develop in those who have faced traumatic events. It is characterized by an array of symptoms which can include flashbacks, hyper-arousal and sleep disturbances. While the exact causes are not fully understood, it is known to be caused by some degree of prolonged stress associated with traumatic experiences such as military combat, natural disasters and violent assaults.
The symptoms of PTSD can vary greatly depending on individual cases, but most commonly they lead to high levels of anxiety, intrusive thoughts and emotions. Flashbacks are one of the most common symptoms; they cause individuals to re-experience painful memories from the past event. Hyper-arousal meanwhile leads to heightened states of fear and agitation, along with insomnia due to disrupted sleep patterns. Sufferers may also feel a disconnection from reality along with feelings of guilt or depression stemming from their trauma experiences.
For those struggling with this mental disorder, there are treatments available that range from medication for symptom relief through psychotherapies designed for long term recovery goals. These treatments don’t always offer immediate relief however, so it’s important for friends and family members of sufferers to provide love and support throughout the healing process where possible.
Triggers and Coping Mechanisms for PTSD
PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a serious mental illness that affects many people. It can cause individuals to suffer from heightened anxiety, flashbacks of traumatic events, and avoidance of certain situations. In order to understand how to best help those suffering from PTSD it’s important to know some basic information about triggers and coping mechanisms.
Triggers are anything in the environment that remind an individual of the event they experienced trauma from. Triggers may be physical or emotional and can range from smells, tastes, sounds or even certain conversations that initiate distress in an individual with PTSD. Keeping track of your triggers is an important step in managing PTSD symptoms as it helps identify activities to avoid or engage with when experiencing distress.
In addition to identifying and avoiding triggers for PTSD there are other coping mechanisms available for those struggling with this disorder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a popular technique used by many mental health professionals due to its focus on changing thought patterns and behaviors associated with the disorder rather than just treating symptoms like medications do. Mindfulness practices such as yoga and meditation have been shown effective in relieving stress associated with PTSD symptoms by helping individuals become more aware of their feelings and body sensations so they can better control them during times of distress. Exercise has been found to reduce stress hormones related to PTSD which may lead to reduced overall levels of anxiety and depression over time.
Overall these strategies have all been proven beneficial for those dealing with the long term effects of trauma yet each person must find out what works best for them individually – whether it be through therapy sessions or lifestyle changes – in order remain calm during moments where they feel overwhelmed by their emotions due to their past experiences.
Impact of Trauma on the Brain and Body
PTSD can be difficult to explain, but understanding the impact of trauma on the brain and body may help. This complex disorder can manifest in physical, emotional and mental issues for those affected. Trauma is often linked to a stressful event such as an accident or life-threatening situation that leaves a person feeling overwhelmed and powerless.
When experiencing extreme distress due to PTSD, people may suffer from both psychological symptoms like flashbacks or mood disturbances, as well as physiological changes like increased heart rate and difficulty breathing. A key hallmark of PTSD is avoidance: when faced with triggers associated with traumatic memories, individuals seek out ways to avoid being reminded of the event – which can hinder treatment effectiveness and make it more difficult for them to get back into everyday life activities.
For individuals suffering from this form of post-traumatic stress disorder, daily tasks become more difficult. Loss of sleep is common among those afflicted by PTSD due to their inability to shut off intrusive thoughts; disrupted sleep then impacts productivity at work or school in addition to having further negative effects on overall health. Consequently, mental health practitioners pay extra attention when treating patients with PTSD in order to better assess any potential cognitive deficits that might arise from reduced restorative sleep patterns or prolonged periods of heightened stress levels triggered by traumatic events.
Common Myths and Misconceptions About PTSD
Explaining Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to someone can be a challenging task. Popular media has created many myths and misconceptions about PTSD, ranging from assumptions of the disorder’s cause to speculations on how it is treated. It is important to dispel these inaccuracies in order to create an accurate understanding of PTSD and its treatment.
One common misconception about PTSD is that trauma only affects individuals who have served in the military or experienced physical violence. In reality, any difficult situation – including illness, death or other emotionally traumatizing events – can trigger post-traumatic stress disorder. Mental health professionals are trained to recognize that a variety of situations can lead to trauma and as such, people with any background may be affected by PTSD.
A second common misconception is that traumatic events will always result in long-term psychological issues for those involved with them; however this isn’t necessarily the case. While severe traumas almost always require some sort of intervention – either through professional therapy or self care measures – not all experiences leave lasting damage upon those exposed. Even if symptoms do appear after a stressful event, there are various treatments available which research suggests can effectively prevent full blown post-traumatic stress disorder from occurring.
It’s also often wrongly assumed that people with PTSD are unstable or prone to violent outbursts; this could not be further from the truth as people suffering from PTSD struggle more with internal turmoil than outward aggression. Mental health professionals agree that one key element in treating mental illnesses like PTSD is providing patients with a supportive environment and social acceptance without judgement or prejudice – something which everyone should strive for when interacting with someone living with the condition.
Helping Loved Ones with PTSD: Dos and Don’ts
When it comes to helping a loved one cope with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the most important thing you can do is remain patient and understanding. After experiencing trauma, individuals may need extra time and support to process their feelings. It’s not always easy, but learning about PTSD and providing sensitivity towards those struggling can make a huge difference in their life.
For starters, it’s essential to provide active listening. Ask your loved one open ended questions so they know you care about what they’re going through and want to understand them better. Asking straightforward “yes or no” questions won’t be as helpful since they don’t allow for much exploration into thoughts and feelings. Above all else, show that you are there for them without judgment – no matter how serious or small the issue may seem at first glance.
Practice self-care so you can more effectively help others coping with PTSD; set boundaries when necessary to protect yourself from taking on too much weight on your shoulders. Don’t try to fix their issues for them; instead offer ways for them find solutions themselves. Letting go of overbearing tendencies will give your loved one the ability to take ownership of their healing journey so that they don’t become reliant on your advice alone.
Seeking Professional Help for PTSD Recovery
When it comes to a serious mental health issue like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), individuals should understand that recovery is not something that can be achieved through willpower and optimism alone. Professional help is often necessary to move forward from a traumatic event, as many individuals will find themselves in need of access to therapeutic resources and additional support when dealing with the emotional fallout of such an experience. As part of this, seeking out professional help for PTSD recovery should always form part of any treatment plan.
One key benefit of receiving professional treatment for PTSD is the wide range of therapies available today. Many clinicians specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which has been specifically designed to help people better cope with the symptoms that commonly accompany PTSD – including intrusive thoughts, avoidance strategies, nightmares, excessive anxiety and hypervigilance. It works by teaching sufferers helpful coping mechanisms they can use when facing particularly difficult or challenging situations triggered by their condition.
At the same time, group therapies are also very beneficial for those trying to work through their trauma. These sessions provide much-needed socialization opportunities as well as allowing patients to share experiences and feelings amongst peers who have similar life circumstances; proving both therapeutic and cathartic effects at once. Other more targeted treatments may include specialized EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which helps desensitize particular memories while art or music therapies can offer alternatives methods with which vulnerable clients can explore emotions such as depression and anxiety without having to verbalize them directly – something many people struggle with due difficulty communicating their struggles on deeper levels.
Seeking professional help for PTSD recovery is essential if anyone wishes to navigate its impacts successfully over time; doing so offers access to numerous potentially effective forms of treatment – providing guidance tailored specifically based on individual needs which can prove invaluable in managing this complex psychological condition longterm.

Gull Pond is a beautiful destination for someone looking for a quick hike to stretch their legs or for families. It is less than half a mile to the pond.
From Exit 28 on Interstate 87, take Route 9 toward Schroon Lake. In 0.6 miles, take a left onto Alder Meadow Road. Follow this for 3.8 miles to the Gull Pond Trail on the left. Park here.
This is only a 0.4 mile hike, one-way, along a marked foot trail that might have some wet spots in low areas. (But don't worry, there are bridges.) Stick to the trail to avoid causing trail erosion. You'll be at the pond before you know it!
A side trail on the left a short distance from the pond leads to a designated tent site. There is no camping allowed at the rock outcrop overlooking the pond.
It's well worth the added effort to have a pond all to yourself. Most of the shore can be used for fishing. Since there is a 0.4-mile hike to the pond, there is no boat access without a portage. That said, a canoe or kayak would be ideal to fish the deeper waters where trout tend to hang out during warmer months. A herd path may be visible around the pond, and that can be used to find different locations.
Fish species found here include: brook trout and bullhead.
