TIME LIMITED PSYCHODYNAMIC PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS (TAPP) Professor Stephen Briggs
SESSION 1: INTRO TO TAPP AND THE COURSE 10am- 10.30am
Adolescent mental health is a major concern nationally and world-wide 50% of all lifetime mental disorders begin before 14 and 70% by age 24 (MHG/DH 2011 page 50) There are very few evidenced psychological interventions for young people More intensive interventions in adolescence may reduce longer term problems (Patton et al 2014) Adolescent problems are not ‘neat diagnoses’ but complex psychosocial predicaments (Cottrell and Kroom 2005) in changing, diverse social contexts Adolescents need ‘adolescent-centred’ approaches through therapies designed for their needs, and which they can ‘buy into’ to increase engagement and good outcomes WHY DO WE NEED NEW THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE?
Why do we need TAPP? TAPP was developed to meet the needs of young people who present at mental health services These young people present not with ‘neat diagnoses’ but with ‘predicaments’ Which often combine social vulnerability with mental health needs Thus, a psychosocial approach is helpful TAPP has been developed to: Respect the capacity for growth and development during adolescence Ensure young people’s involvement through ‘adolescent centred’ therapy Ensure relevance to young people’s social and cultural contexts Provide a therapeutic modality which has a focus on emotions, relationships and relatedness
Where is TAPP being used? TAPP has been developed in CAMHS and in services specialising in adult mental health services for young people (e.g. Tavistock) Current applications include: CAMHS in England (e.g Leicester, Tower Hamlets, Kent) School counselling services HE counselling services Training to individuals and organisations to use TAPP TAPP has been manualised, and research to evidence its effectiveness is in preparation
What issues can be worked with using this model? The focus on development means TAPP can be considered for many young people. It is particularly useful for Complex presentations (social vulnerability plus m/h diagnoses) Difficulties in relationships (including e.g. (self)destructive relationships and self-harm/suicidal thoughts) Anxieties and difficulties around separation Anxieties around external events Depression Second treatments When there is an external time-limit When presentation is post-trauma Transitions from CAMHS to AMS
What is TAPP? TAPP’s structure TAPP is a manualised time-limited psychodynamic therapy for young people between 14 and 25 (30) It has a usual structure of 4 sessions assessment followed by 16 sessions treatment, with a follow up-review session 6-8 weeks after the end of treatment TAPP’s rationale The developmental process in adolescence is a powerful force for change and growth Therapeutic focus on developmental difficulty/disturbance can recover the individual’s capacity to meet her/his developmental challenges Therapeutic structures of time and focus can help young people manage development and transitions in their social and cultural contexts
Key features of TAPP TAPP is based on Psychoanalytic approaches to understanding and conceptualising adolescent development Psychodynamic approach to therapeutic relatedness – including focus on the transference and counter transference working in depth It is adolescent centred – notably through active engagement of young people in establishing the focus for therapy, contracting processes and working with their narratives of themselves It is rooted in understanding the young person’s negotiation of their transitions through adolescence within their social and cultural contexts Time-limits provide a structure for working with processes of engagement, relating, change, ending, and reviewing
The therapist’s priorities when using TAPP Working with a developmental focus Working in depth, particularly with the transference and counter-transference, and thus accessing deep anxieties Adopting a stance that provides a containing therapeutic space and which is thus both supportive and promoting possibilities for exploration Support for the therapist is through supervision/seminar group, focussing on the meaning of the therapist’s emotional experiences Working with time-limits
The values and challenges of the time- limited approach: pros and cons? In favour of time-limit Provide structure in complex and confusing socio-cultural transitional contexts for young people Provide a focussed intervention Help therapists through structuring therapy Against time-limit ……or feel like an oppressive imposition on freedom …….or make it difficult to work through more problematic/pathological aspects of development ……… or put therapists under pressure to work within a timescale
Exercise In Pairs Share thoughts about working with young people Complete the questionnaire and use this to discuss: The kinds of issues that young people have and that you work with in your work setting Issues that arise for you in working with them Sharing the examples of your work you have reflected on before the course and/or Examples of your work that you are thinking about now Thoughts about your hopes and expectations for the course Followed by feedback to whole group
Development, change and growth in psychodynamic therapies What are the key concepts in psychodynamic practice? Past relatedness and experiences affect the present We defend against experiences that make us anxious Past aspects of relatedness are attributed to others in the present (transference) These are received by the ‘other’ as emotional experiences which if recognised can help understanding (of the client) Therapy aims to increase self- understanding and the capacity to sustain (rather than discharge) emotions
Psychodynamic therapeutic action Recovering past memories and patterns of relatedness Working through in the transference Containment of anxieties to increase the capacity to think about feelings rather than discharging them Healing power of the narrative Integrating accounts from the past to achieve narrative coherence and authenticity The corrective emotional experience Making implicit relational models explicit Mutative exchanges A.Lemma (2003) Introduction to the Practice of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (page 82)
The process of container-contained Infant projects overwhelming feelings Mother takes in infant’s feelings, makes sense of them Mother returns feelings, named, in modified form Infant takes in named experiences and mother’s thinking capacity
Internalisation in infancy Qualities of internalisation depend on qualities in the container- contained relationship (Bion 1962) Infant’s overwhelming experiences are projected into the mother Mother’s ‘reverie’ makes sense of infant’s emotional experiences Infant’s anxieties are modified, named, made bearable Infant internalises named emotional experiences and a mother who can bear to think about emotions and modify anxieties Internalisation when infants are in vulnerable situations: intense anxieties may not be mediated and will overwhelm the infant the infant defends against painful experiences the infant’s internalisations will include internal relatedness in which dependency, intimacy and capacity to be separate will be disturbed
Contemporary Adolescence Contemporary adolescence is organised around two distinct phases. The transition from childhood to early adolescence, through the impact of puberty, is a period of intense growth and far reaching changes- physically, cognitively, emotionally. This is followed by a long transition into adulthood, which, though inclusive of diverse ‘pathways’ is usually extended, lasting approximately for a decade from mid/late teens until the mid twenties.
‘Becoming-a-Subject’ During adolescence, the young person moves from being a ‘child in the family’ to being ‘ a person in the world To accomplish this, the adolescent has to achieve: Separation from parental figures Ownership of new, adult, sexual body – and its role in the social world Ownership of capacity for thought; thinking one’s own thoughts, separate from others Ownership of drives, sensations, impulses, feelings and powers Problems in adolescence stem from problems in the adolescent developmental process – in ‘becoming a subject’
The entanglements of early adolescence the ‘extraordinary entanglement, in the young adolescent’s world, of internal and external, and of bodily and mental forces and factors” (Waddell 2002) The aim with early adolescence is to get past it – and then not look back! (Jacobs 1990) “though he was growing it was not a problem for him, but he had two friends who did have problems, because for one of them his bones were growing faster than his muscles and ligaments, and with the other friend it was the other way round; his muscles were growing faster than his bones. One of them was very stiff and the other was very floppy.”
The adolescent process… it cannot be hurried, but it can be undermined… “The cure for adolescence belongs to the passage of time and to the gradual maturational processes; this process cannot be hurried or slowed up but it can be broken into and destroyed, or it can wither up from within” (Winnicott 1971)
The power of the adolescent body Leaving the ‘quiescence’ of latency, acquiring adult (physical) power: In latency ‘‘It is the very balance of a relatively weak child and relatively strong parents which, whatever the impulses and anxieties is a background bedrock of reality which allows for a sense of safety.” (Anderson 1999) In adolescence, with the acquisition of the adult sexual body ‘S/he can really attack, destroy, rob, murder or commit suicide, and he can really have sexual experiences of a or homosexual kind’ (Hoxter 1964 page 13).
Adolescence: a second chance (Blos) ‘Dickie’ Bird (1989): assessing adolescents involves the question of identifying to whom pain and anxiety belong and are attributed (projective processes). A H Williams (1978) explored the dynamic meaning of depression in adolescence – as a force for development as well as a painful situation R. Anderson and A. Dartington (1998) “If the adolescent is to successfully achieve adulthood, he (sic) must re-negotiate every aspect of his relationship with himself, and with his external and internal objects in a new context” Margot Waddell (2002) the ‘extraordinary entanglement, in the adolescent’s world, of internal and external, and of bodily and mental forces and factors” and (2006) ‘‘the swiftness with which what seem to be deeply entrenched narcissistic structures may be modified or modulated in response to even quite small internal or external change’
The developmental process Development is formulated as the working through of the dynamic effects of puberty for the individual, necessitating reworking of relatedness to self and others It is significantly affected by the qualities of close relationships with parents, authority figures outside the family, peers, emerging love relationships, and those of social and cultural contexts It requires: establishing the integration of the adult sexual body as essential to individual identity, the ownership of one’s own thoughts, drives, sensations, impulses, feelings and powers accepting the emotional experience and meaning of increasing emotional, mental and/or physical separateness from parental figures …as experienced in diverse social and cultural contexts
‘Catastrophic change’ Development in adolescence and early adulthood generates ‘catastrophic change’ (Bion 1963) through the disjuncture of past, present and future. It involves intense emotional experiences which disturb previous qualities and patterns of containment, ways of defending against anxiety that worked in childhood, it puts pressure on the individual to manage and make sense of emotional experiences. This leads to new defences against anxiety, including splitting, projection, denial, idealization, projective identification. Development is therefore characterised by powerful progressive and regressive trends and involves rapid shifts of states of mind, moving between paranoid schizoid and depressive functioning (Ps D)
Development in current contexts ‘Developing subjectivity in particular domains of experience more accurately describes these changes than does the more traditional concept of identity formation” (2011 p418) Pathways into adulthood have become more complex, extended, less structured, ‘desequenced’, disembedded These create a deeply contradictory situation and generate new and different psychological tasks thinking flexibly about future plans, making decisions, responding to changing contexts, generating narratives to make sense of these experiences Fast-track and slow-track ‘routes’
Inequalities increasing: Fast Track and Slow Track transitions Slow track Staying on in education (until 30 or later) Many semi-independent statuses requiring parental support Problematic for those without middle class models of parental support Can result in ‘broken’ or ‘fractured’ transitions Mental health issues arise Acquiring social capital Fast track Leaving education on or before min. age Risks of unemployment, poor wages NEET Early family formation Higher anti-social behaviour rates Social exclusion (Early achievement of adulthood more likely to mean premature loss of childhood) Lack of social capital
Becoming a subject in adolescence Separation- Individuation States of mind Regression Power Self-esteem/ competence Subject to Subject of Dependence Life Death Fear of failure
Working with adolescents is different! Questions of time, balance…. and ambiguity First young person Therapist: the plan is that we will meet weekly for 16 weeks Young person1 : Really? As long as that? Am I really that ill then? Second young person Therapist: the plan is that we will meet weekly for 16 weeks Young person 2: Oh no – what will I do after that? Third young person Therapist: the plan is that we will meet weekly for 16 weeks Young person 3: It’s down to you is it – what if I don’t agree? It’s my life
Development Past Relationships Current relationships Transference The psychodynamic pyramid/prism (for adolescence)
The Assessment “The offer of therapy is primarily a process which requires discussion, negotiation and containment of the emotional experiences involved….the therapist suggests discussing together the kind of treatment that will be most helpful and appropriate and seeks the active involvement of the young person in this process”
SESSION 4: FORMULATING: MAKING A TREATMENT OFFER: THE DEVELOPMENTAL FOCUS 3.15-.4.30
Formulations includes a focus on the qualities of change that occur during the assessment contrasting more free flowing, discovery-laden interactions with those that are more stuck, rigid or repetitive. Through this process, the therapist arrives at a view of the developmental trajectories of the young person, the anxieties and defences he has, and the qualities of internalisation/inner object relations that support or disturb the process of development. These are characteristically experienced in relation to the therapist; emergent patterns of transference –counter-transference are elucidated – initially provisionally
The treatment offer An offer of TAPP is usually made during the third assessment session, and this is discussed and negotiated in the fourth session the offer of 16 sessions treatment (plus a review session after the therapy), which can be stated as therapy continuing up to a specified time, e.g. the end of a specific month, or in relation to an acknowledged future event in the YP’s life the formulation of the purpose of the brief therapy in terms of a developmentally based focus – e.g. ‘working to understand more how these problems affect you whilst you are changing and growing’ or ‘getting to grips with how (a particular event, a current set of relationships, a current task) these affect you as you go through a period of development and change’ or An agreement of a suitable regular time for the therapy
The Young Person’s response The offer is primarily a process which requires discussion, negotiation and containment of the emotional experiences involved. Initially, either in the first or second session, the therapist suggests discussing together the kind of treatment that will be most helpful and appropriate and seeks the active involvement of the young person in this process. The young person may respond with a thoughtful response which creates the opportunity of a genuine negotiation, or, alternatively, by omnipotent assertion, eager acceptance which needs no discussion or pre-empts it, or passive deference to the therapist’s authority and knowledge. At this point some ambivalences frequently emerge and can be expressed in terms of contradictory wishes for treatment – e.g. the young person says he wishes for weekly therapy but does not have the availability to attend regularly – or wishing for something that will not involve effort and work, an instant ‘prescription’ which can be taken away and ingested.
The developmental focus Theorisation of the developmental process in adolescence underpins the formulations of a developmental focus for each case: The presence of anti-developmental factors that reduce the capacity to engage with current life tasks and relationships, and/or The absence or weaknesses of resources that can promote growth and development The developmental focus relates closely to the young person’s own account of themselves and their struggles and anxieties, and to encompass a sense of becoming, of encouraging curiosity about self and others.
“one of the outcomes of TAPP is the young person’s engagement with the continuous project of themselves, the development of their subjectivity, and awareness of their emotionality” (2011 p423)
TAPP training courses Practitioner TAPP training consists of 3 elements: 2 day introductory (this can be taken as ‘stand alone’ e.g. for CPD) Supervision of TAPP cases 3 one day workshops Accreditation as a TAPP practitioner additionally involves assessments The training is in process of accreditation by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC)

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. Ford Taurus 3 0 Litre Engine Diagram. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. Ford Taurus 3 0 Litre Engine Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. Ford Taurus 3 0 Litre Engine Diagram. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

Episode 19 – The Declaration of Financial Independence
In honor of the 245th anniversary of the great American experiment, DWealthMuse host Dara Albright and guest, Dina Ellis Rochkind, Of Counsel at Paul Hastings and most known for her work on the 2012 bipartisan JOBS Act legislation, discuss how Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and the present Centralized Finance System measure up to the three main economic policy principles that America’s founders believed were necessary for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness:
1) The right to own and use property;
2) The right to sell or give property to others on terms of one’s own choosing (free markets); and
3) Government support of a medium of exchange whose value is reasonably constant and certain.
Join us in helping modern America find the appropriate regulatory landscape that can protect investors while fostering financial innovation and ensuring equal access to economic opportunity.
Highlights of this podcast include:
- Is Decentralized Finance America’s best path forward?
- Could recent statements made by SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and CFTC Commissioner Dan Berkovitz impede free markets?
- The constitutionality of the existing accredited investor rule and why further tightening of accredited investor standards would be a recipe for disaster.
- Is the SEC now backtracking on previous statements that BTC and ETH are not securities?
- Why cryptocurrencies are noticeably absent from the SEC’s list of regulatory priorities.
- The case against Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

The transfer window is coming to a close and clubs are frantically trying to get their business across the line.
Despite the financial impacts of COVID-19, over £900million has been spent by Premier League clubs this summer.
Spending has dropped off in the EFL, with so many clubs relying on free transfers and loans amid financial uncertainty caused by behind closed doors matches.
This season, there will be two different deadlines for clubs to race against to conduct their business for the 2020/21 season.
Here, we break down exactly what clubs can and can't do and those all-important dates.
When does the first transfer window shut?
All Premier League clubs will have to conduct any international business by 11pm on Monday, October 5.
That is the same for EFL clubs too, who can't sign anyone from abroad after Monday's cut-off.
Premier League clubs will also be unable to trade directly with one another.
Players could still be sold abroad after this deadline, permitting that league's transfer window remains open.
When is the second transfer window closed?
The second transfer window closes 11 days later, at 5pm on Friday, October 16.
What business can clubs conduct during the second window?
Clubs from the Premier League can sign players from the EFL and visa versa up until the second transfer window closes.
So, hypothetically, there is still plenty of time for top-flight clubs to strike a deal with Brentford for Said Benrahma, for example, who is yet to feature for the Bees this season amid transfer interest from the top-flight.
Equally, EFL clubs can still trade amongst themselves, unlike Premier League clubs, with no restriction on transfers within the same division.

More New Stuff!
Ok, I tend to get really excited when new stuff just rolls in one after another. This week has been no exception. We added a couple other new lines... Fancy Pants' Arctic Chill collection, which has some amazing colors (I call them snowsuit colors). We also added the Letters Home collection from Kimberly Poloson - gorgeous black and cream line. I've also picked up a series of journaling cards from Pebbles which are great - they're 4x6 so you can not only use them on a scrapbook page, they also work great in photo albums! We're trying out some other products from KaiserCraft, like their board books (actual wood), new bling, paper and rub-ons. I hope you like what you see!

Canberra Theatre has emerged from the past two years of pandemic disruption to launch a 2022 season brimming with new productions and featuring international hits.
Canberra Theatre Centre Director Alex Budd said that although the days of COVID may be receding, the world was experiencing a particularly dark time from which theatre could offer some respite.
“Pandemic, floods, wars and deaths of heroes come in waves,” he said at the official launch at the Canberra Theatre Centre.
“It feels like a particularly big wave and dark time right now which theatre cannot solve, but we do offer a special kind of darkness in which we come together to escape the outside world to contemplate, to be moved, provoked and challenged, enthused and humoured by live performance.
“We’ve all had two years of being apart from those we love dearly but also apart from the excitement of a theatre full of strangers.”
He said that five arts companies would be making their debut this season, 10 productions would be coming to Canberra in their world premiere season, and two would be major musicals.
Leading the way will be the global smash musical Girl From the North Country (25 August to 3 September) starring Lisa McCune and featuring 20 Bob Dylan songs reimagined and set in a 1930s Minnesota guesthouse where a group of wanderers come to terms with who they are and where they are going.
The other big musical is the pop phenomenon Six (23 April to 15 May), the retelling in song of the six wives of Henry VIII from their point of view in an exhilarating display of girl power.
Dance returns in a big way with Bangarra back for a 10th anniversary tour of Terrain (28 to 30 July), which depicts the rise and fall of Kati Thanda/Lake Eyre; the Australasian Dance Collective’s Three (24 and 25 June), performing for the first time in Canberra works from renowned choreographers Jack Lister, Melanie Lane and the revolutionary Hofesh Shechter; and the Australian Dance Theatre’s new creation SAVAGE (29 and 30 September) from newly appointed artistic director, Daniel Riley.
Riley grew up in Canberra and is a former member of Bangarra. He is also the first First Nations director of a national dance company.
It wouldn’t be a Canberra Theatre season without Shakespeare, and this year it’s Hamlet (7 to 16 April) from Bell Shakespeare and A Comedy of Errors (30 September to 8 October), directed by longtime Bell Shakespeare collaborator Janine Watson.
Other dramatic productions include shake & stir’s adaptation of the Charlotte Brontë classic Jane Eyre; Whitefella Yella Tree (28 September to 1 October), a gay, First Nations love story by Canberra playwright Dylan Van Den Berg; Chalkface (9 to 12 November), a new black comedy about the teaching vocation from Angela Betzien; and White Pearl (27 to 30 April), a biting satire from the Sydney Theatre Company.
Back to Back Theatre, which features actors with a disability and challenge’s audience’s assumptions, will also visit Canberra for the first time with The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes (11 to 13 May), an award-winning, critically acclaimed theatrical revelation.
The already strong First Nations presence will be strengthened even more with the return of the Reconciliation Day Eve (29 May) concert featuring Christine Anu.
Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, who shot to fame after his mesmerising performance at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, will perform for the first time in Canberra (14 August), joined by his family of prodigious musicians in a program featuring works by Schubert, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Shostakovich, Gershwin and more.
For muscular theatre, Australian circus company Gravity & Other Myths will mark its debut in Canberra with Backbone (13 to 15 October), and Jake Silvestro brings December (1 and 2 April), a world premiere physical theatre performance featuring astounding acrobatics.
Canberra Youth Theatre will celebrate its 50th anniversary with four productions, and the ACT’s QL2 Dance will present Terra Firma (26 to 28 May) with the Quantum Leap Ensemble.

Arts Minister Tara Cheyne told the launch that the Canberra Theatre Centre played a central and pivotal role in the ACT Government’s ambitious plans to make Canberra the arts capital of Australia.
She said the blockbuster program offered something for everyone, as well as new local and regional opportunities, collaborations and partnerships.
“This is the theatre centre where many Canberrans had their first theatrical experiences and it is significant as being Australia’s first arts centre, and tonight’s program launch only serves to reiterate its importance, reflecting such a great diversity of shows and events being developed in Canberra, Australia and beyond,” she said.

Damar Hamlin FaceTime’s Bills Teammates: Here’s What He Said
We got excellent news on Thursday, as the University of Cincinnati Medical Center confirmed that Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin made remarkable improvements in his recovery and that he appeared to be neurologically intact.
Hamlin still had a breathing tube on Thursday and getting oxygen assistance, but on Friday morning, it was confirmed that Hamlin had his breathing tube removed.
His progress has been amazing and he was actually able to FaceTime with his Bills teammates on Friday morning.
Head coach Sean McDermott said on WGR radio today that Hamlin couldn't talk much, since he is still recovering, but his words to his Bills teammates and coaches were, "Love you, boys."
This recovery has been nothing short of amazing and it has to be such a jolt of emotion for the Bills organization and especially his teammates and coaches, the people he spends most of his time with.
Hamlin still has to make progress to be discharged from the hospital, but considering where we were on Monday night and Tuesday, this is nothing short of a remarkable recovery after he went into cardiac arrest on the field during the Bills-Bengals game.
The Bills are preparing to face the New England Patriots at Highmark Stadium this Sunday afternoon and will need a win to assure they're at least the 2 seed in the AFC and can guarantee they do not go to Arrowhead Stadium for a potential AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
That playoff scenario the NFL released still needs approval by the league owners.


To address wait times, the provincial government announced they will be sending women who need urgent breast cancer tests to Calgary.
The patients at high risk are receiving diagnostic care in Saskatchewan, according to the province.
However, eligible patients on an urgent wait last will be able to receive procedures at a private medical facility in Calgary.
“Women in this province have raised concerns about the wait times for breast cancer diagnostics,” breast cancer survivor and advocate Jodi Krechowiecki said in a government news release. “We will continue to push for improved patient access within Saskatchewan and I am relieved to see that the government is listening to women in this province.”
The temporary measure, which is meant to reduce wait times for breast mammography and biopsies, will be in place until the services are “stabilized” in Saskatchewan, the release said.
The Regina Breast Assessment Centre will be coordinating the …

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The New National Council Medical Director Institute Makes Sweeping Recommendations to Combat a Shortage of Psychiatrists as Patient Loads Increase
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 28, 2017) – Today, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing’s Medical Director Institute released recommendations to ensure there are enough psychiatrists to treat the people who need help.
The need for an adequate psychiatric workforce has never been greater than it is now. In addition to expanded insurance coverage driving demand, our nation faces public health crises in its opioid epidemic and rising suicide rates. Yet, 55 percent of U.S. counties have no psychiatrists at all. If nothing is done, the demand for psychiatry will outstrip supply by 25 percent in 2025.
The report, “The Psychiatric Shortage: Causes and Solutions,” from the National Council Medical Director Institute (the Institute), is a blueprint to grow psychiatry and fundamentally change the way it is practiced in the United States.
National Council President and CEO Linda Rosenberg warned of the dangers from ignoring the report’s conclusions. “In every town in America, we see the unmet need — young pregnant women with untreated addiction living on the streets; older adults who are isolated, anxious, and at risk for suicide; men and women with mental illnesses released from jails without housing or access to care.”
Rosenberg added that, “our nation’s treatment capacity desperately needs to be expanded. We urge all stakeholders to take the recommendations in this report seriously and help modernize psychiatry to avert a crisis that would affect the most vulnerable people in society.”
This report comes at a time when psychiatric patients face overly brief clinical appointments and long wait times for appointments as physicians continue to age out of the profession. At the same time, reimbursement methodology for services are antiquated, physicians are rewarded for volume over value, government regulations thwart progress and the system marginalizes allied medical professionals.
The Institute recommends a comprehensive approach that will begin to adjust the imbalances identified in the report. Long-term recommendations include:
- Expanding the workforce that provides psychiatric services.
- Increasing the use of telepsychiatry and other innovative, on-demand technologies for those in rural areas, schools and jails.
- Implementing innovative models of integrated health care delivery.
- Training psychiatric residents and the existing psychiatric workforce treatment and care delivery technologies.
- Adopting effective payment structures.
Led by Joe Parks, M.D., Medical Director at the National Council and Chair of the Institute, and Patrick Runnels, Medical Director at the Centers for Families and Children and Co-Chair of the Institute, with an expert panel led by Howard Liu, University of Nebraska Medical Center and Adam Biuckians, Community Services Group, the report makes a number of specific recommendations.
- First, do no harm: Protect the improvements to patients’ access to treatment and insurance for psychiatric services gained through the Medicaid expansion and do not push people out of treatment.
- Treat the whole person: Often times patients receive mental health care apart from their physical health care. Make behavioral health care delivery more patient-centered and involve the patient more in his/her care, no matter where care takes place.
- Remove barriers to integrated care: Fund technical assistance programs that help develop alternatives to fee-for-service reimbursement models, as chronic physical conditions are known to improve when mental health conditions are managed, particularly among high-risk populations.
- Cut red tape: Streamline administrative paperwork so physicians can spend more time with patients and information exchanges between physicians are more attuned to the patients’ needs.
- Change how psychiatrists are paid: Create awareness about behavioral health’s role in total cost of care; then shift from fee-for-service arrangements to bundled payments to increase the quality of care and reduce the overall cost of care.
- Remove barriers: Reform state and federal laws that prohibit physician assistants and advanced practice registered nurses from practicing to the full extent of their licenses.
- Improve confidentiality regulations: While the recently revised 42 CFR Part 2 regulations are advances, they still burden psychiatrists by restricting substance use disorder treatment information, sometimes keeping patients and their families in the dark to protect psychiatrists.
The report also make a series of recommendations specific to government and payer stakeholders; health care treatment and advocacy organizations; psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, clinical pharmacists and their professional organizations; and psychiatric training programs.
The nation is facing a shortage of trained psychiatrists. From 2003–2013 there was a 10 percent decline in the number of practicing psychiatrists.
If the current workforce of 45,580 does not grow, the deficit of psychiatrists will double from around six percent to 12 percent by 2025, according to a 2016 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services-commissioned study.
The psychiatry shortage has manifested itself in myriad ways:
- Extended wait times for patients to see psychiatrists in all settings — an average 25 days according to a 2014 study published in Psychiatric Services — but particularly in Medicaid-covered community behavioral health centers.
- Rationing of services.
- Poor adherence to medications.
- Incomplete symptom management.
- Over-use of nurses and case managers to bridge weeks- or months-long waits between appointments.
- Further reduction of already short appointment times.
- Poor clinical treatment of vulnerable foster children and older adults.
The Medical Director Institute brought together a diverse group of practitioners, administrators, policymakers, researchers, innovators, educators, advocates and payers to ensure depth of discussion from a variety of viewpoints. Each provided literature and research from their area of expertise for review, as well as their unique perspectives to the vexing problem of lack of access to psychiatric services.
Stakeholders for whom these recommendations were developed include the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS); the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD); the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA); professional membership organizations for psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and pharmacists; health care provider organizations; payers; advocacy organizations and consumer organizations.
About the Medical Director Institute
The Medical Director Institute advises the National Council for Mental Wellbeing board, staff and membership on issues and topics heavily impacted by clinical practice and provide longer-term guidance through a series of technical papers. It also assesses best practices in medication-assisted treatment (MAT), a method of treating opioid, alcohol and tobacco use disorders. The Medical Director Institute is composed of medical directors from National Council member organizations.

Jeremy Goldberg is my newest discovery in the photography world, and I am completely obsessed with his work. I love the viewpoint he shows in his photographs and the stories that he tells with them. Most of all I love how he describes his photographs as almost "too personal to share." His ShoeBox collection in his website is my absolute favorite, but I am also amazed by the way he can capture celebrities and make you feel so connected with who they are.
"The ShoeBox series is a distillation of that feeling. The name comes from people who would keep all their favorite 'non-framed' images in a shoebox. It's not the family portrait over the mantel, it's all the images that they treasured - that had sentimental value. That almost feel too personal to share, except with a few select friends late at night, possibly with a bottle of wine and a long reminiscing conversation."
"I think the best photography or movies or any kind of storytelling pulls you in and *makes* the story real - even if only for a moment."
"I love shooting actresses and musicians is not just because of what they do, but because of who they are. They're not only interesting looking people, but often are more emotionally vulnerable, which is not what people imagine. Most people don't expose their emotions the way an actor or actress is required."
I was so excited when I saw that he shot a music video for one of my favorite artists and songs. However, I was so surprised when I watched it because I have never before felt so connected to a song. He has such an incredible way of pulling you in and making you feel like you are there, experiencing the same emotions as her.

Figures from consumer magazine Which? indicate that more than 2,500 cashpoints were lost in the six months to December 2018, and more than 3,000 bank branches have closed across the UK since 2015.
With the country’s cash infrastructure diminishing, Which? and the Federation of Small Businesses are today launching the joint Freedom to pay. Our way. campaign, calling for a regulator to be given explicit responsibility for protecting access to cash.
FSB National Chairman Mike Cherry said: “The rapid pace of bank branch and cashpoint closures is hurting small businesses all over the UK.
“Millions of small firms have customers who want to pay using notes and coins. The vast majority of shoppers either use cash frequently or want to see access to it maintained.
“Bank branches and cashpoints create a natural draw for high streets and town centres. They give shoppers a reason to visit, meaning increased footfall and greater sales at surrounding small businesses as a result. When bank branches and cashpoints are lost, local growth often takes a hit.
“Going cashless should represent a genuine choice for small business owners. It shouldn’t be a move forced by lack of access to deposit and withdrawal facilities, disappearing ATMs or high cash handling fees.
“With our cash infrastructure increasingly under attack, it’s time for a regulator to be given explicit responsibility for protecting access to notes and coins. Otherwise we risk drifting into a cashless environment that we’re simply not ready for yet.”

Miracles had a unique role in the apostles’ ministry, but the apostles were quick to use those miracles to point people to the one whose power produced them. We are not called to do miracles, but we should use every opportunity we are given to direct people to Jesus.
With the birth of the universal church and the establishment of the first local church in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, the new dispensation of the church age had begun.
In Acts 2:43, we read that “many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.” Now in chapter 3, we are about to encounter a rather public miracle with the healing of a lame man at the temple gate—and by the way, this miracle is going to bring the church into conflict with the religious leaders in Jerusalem.
Before we dive into this account, we need to clear up some misunderstandings. Many people today have tried to make these miracles in the book of Acts a normative pattern for us today. Frankly, they have created a lot of confusion and left a lot of people discouraged and disillusioned when they did not receive their miracle.
What does the Bible teach about divine healers and miracle workers? Well, let me offer some perhaps surprising observations found in the New Testament.
First, miracle healing power was demonstrated by the apostles only. Many people are under the impression that the early church was a miracle-making church—that every pastor or church leader was performing miracles. The truth is, only the apostles had miracle-working power.
Again, Acts 2:43 says, “Wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.” Acts 5:12 says, “Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles.” Acts 14 is talking about the apostles when it says in verse 3, “The Lord . . . bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.”
Paul writes in Romans 15:19 that he preached the gospel as the apostle to the Gentiles with “signs and wonders.” He also writes in 2 Corinthians 12:12, “The signs of a true apostle were performed among you . . . with signs and wonders and mighty works.” In other words, God uniquely equipped the apostles with power that only God could provide.
The last verse of Mark’s Gospel clearly connects these dots:
They [the apostles] went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord . . . confirmed the message by accompanying signs. (Mark 16:20)
Think about it: the world was turned upside down as it transitioned from centuries of Judaism and its sacrificial system to Christianity. God graciously offered these signs and wonders during this transition period to show He was behind this new work—He was bringing to life a new covenant. So, this miraculous, miracle-working power was demonstrated only through the apostles.
Here’s another observation to keep in mind: Miraculous healing was never performed simply because people were sick. There was a deeper meaning behind the healing miracles. Even the rabbis were teaching that only God could heal blindness and lameness and leprosy. That was the point.
Indeed, if Jesus and His apostles healed sick people because God does not want anybody to be sick, then they were actually very cruel men. Why? Because they left a lot of sick and disabled people behind. For instance, if Jesus wanted to cure leprosy because God does not want anybody to have leprosy, then why did He heal only a few of them? Historical sources indicate there was a leper colony near the village of Bethany. Why didn’t Jesus go there whenever he stayed in Bethany with Mary and Martha and Lazarus and just heal every one of them?
I’ll tell you why. Because divine healing had a greater purpose—to validate the Lord and His apostles as true messengers of heaven. Let me tell you, there will come a day when disease and sickness and pain and suffering will be gone, but it is not now, beloved; it will be when we see Jesus face to face.
Let me give you one more perhaps surprising observation to keep in mind: As the church developed, the miracle ministry of the apostles diminished.
Just keep reading past the book of Acts, and what do you see? The apostle Paul writes in 2 Timothy 4:20, “I left Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus.” Well, why not heal him? The apostle also writes that a man by the name of Epaphroditus nearly died while working with him—Paul did not heal him (Philippians 2:27). Timothy had stomach problems, but instead of saying, “Timothy, be healed,” Paul gave him medical advice (1 Timothy 5:23).
Beloved, we need to understand that the apostles were laying the foundation of the church age (Ephesians 2:20). Miracles were mixed in with the mortar, so to speak, to prove the church was divinely designed. But we are not laying the foundation anymore. We are now 2,000 years past that stage, and, God alone knows, we might be putting the last few shingles on the roof; the Lord’s return might be moments away.
Does God perform miracles today? Absolutely. Can God bring divine healing, according to His will, today? Absolutely. We can pray for it and trust the Lord to heal us if He wants to do so. But let me tell you, there is a vast difference between divine healing and divine healers. Apostles were divine healers, and that stage is now over.
Now here in chapter 3, we have the first miracle healing at the hands of the apostles specifically recorded in the book of Acts:
Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. (verses 1-2)
We are told over in Acts 4:22 that this man is more than forty years old. He’s being brought every morning to the most likely place where people will have compassion on him.
Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, describes the gate called Beautiful. He says it was made of Corinthian bronze and overlaid with gold and silver; in the sunlight it shone with spectacular beauty.
Now when this disabled man sees Peter and John entering the temple, he is not expecting healing and does not ask for it; he asks them for money:
Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. (verses 4-7)
His healing is immediate and complete. It does not depend on the faith of this man, but on the power of the apostles. Today, so-called divine healers demand faith from those who are ill. That is a convenient little escape hatch if the people are not healed—well, they just did not have enough faith.
Verse 8 records that this man immediately gets up on his feet, “and leaping up he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.” This is quite a commotion here in the temple courtyard! Peter then steps forward and begins to speak, connecting this miracle to the power of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ (verses 11-26).
Let me make one more observation here, beloved: this lame beggar is a wonderful illustration of you and me. Crippled since birth by sin, we are destitute, unable to cure our disease. Only the power of the risen Savior can intersect our hopeless lives.
And when God saves us, let’s imitate this man, praising God and standing with the apostles. Look at him. As someone has put it, now that he can stand, there is no question where he stood.

Comedian Jim Breuer says Metallica will 'crush your face,' Louisville
For comedian Jim Breuer, funny business is his business and yet, he'll tell you he's never worked a day in his life.
Breuer rose to fame in the late '90s when he starred alongside Will Ferrell, David Spade, and Norm McDonald on NBC's Saturday Night Live, where his infamous "Goat Boy" impression was born. In 1998, he had a lead role opposite Dave Chapelle in the stoner classic film "Half Baked," which included cameos from Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, and Tommy Chong.
But he doesn't spend much time talking about that stuff these days. And please, don't ask him to do an impression.
Today, Breuer can be found making people laugh through his family-centered Comedy Central specials and his cross-country tours both solo and as the opening act for infamous heavy metal band Metallica.
His "Let’s Clear The Air” special from 2009 — one of the highest rated comedy specials in Comedy Central's history — is popularly known as his “coming out party” as a dad, cleaning up his act and focusing on the fun and follies of family life.
Many of Breuer’s newer fans also know him from his stint on Sirius XM’s “The Howard Stern Show" and he currently hosts a podcast called “The Jim Breuer Podcast,” which is available on iTunes and JimBreuer.com.
Oh, and did we mention he's a huge baseball fan and loves the Louisville Slugger Museum?
We got a chance to talk to him about his perspective on comedy, his upcoming show at Mercury Ballroom and the role he will play in Metallica's upcoming concert at the KFC Yum! Center.
Courier Journal: You've done shows in the past here in Louisville. Do you have any favorite things you did and what do you look forward to about coming back?
Breuer: "Well, Kentucky itself. Louisville was one of the places on my first road trip and it's a sweet spot for me. We're talking 1990, 1991 maybe? I'd been part of this whole comedy caravan that was in Louisville. My father and his family were from Kentucky. The last time ... I believe it was one of the last places that I brought my father when I was still able to bring him on the road. So, it's got a little tug on my heart."
Courier Journal: Tell me a little on your show at the Mercury Ballroom the Thursday before you open for Metallica. What can we expect?
Breuer: "It's basically comedy and stories, a lot of well-rounded stories I've been putting together over the past year. Some of them are belly-laughing funny, and some of them are a lot deeper, probably than most people would go on many levels. Talking about finding the funny in mortality and dealing with it, and with this subject, I talk about my dad.
I don't do politics, I don't do news, I do very relatable things. It always fascinates me because a lot of people don't know what I do still. 'Oh, you're doing Saturday Night Live stuff still?' No. I don't even do impressions on stage. I don't do any of that stuff. I come in, I crush with storytelling, crush with standup, leave that place going, 'Who was that masked man?'"
Courier Journal: You talked a little about how it's family related. How consistent does that stay from show-to-show?
Breuer: "I change constantly throughout the years because I only talk about what I know. I don't try and talk about anything I don't know. All I know is where I'm at in life. Three daughters, 20, 17, 14, married 25-plus years, trying to deal with being in my 50s — there's plenty of material to pluck from there. It never ends."
Courier Journal: Let's talk Metallica and your relationship with them. They're obviously one of the most successful metal bands of all time. What has being on tour with them been like for you?
Breuer: "Greatest gig I ever had ever. Ever. Ever. It's like traveling with the best film, best TV show; this is hands down the greatest gig ever. I'm a die-hard Metallica fan, I know the guys. Especially the way they travel, they don't work every single day so it's on, off, on, off, and being a comedian you're out on your own. It definitely gets lonely after a while.
Here, we take over an entire hotel — 13 tour buses dumping into a hotel. All Metallica crew is gonna be in Louisville by Thursday. Thursday afternoon is gonna be Metallica staff and crew hitting all those bars and restaurants in the streets of Louisville."
Courier Journal: How did that friendship with the band, and maybe just your love for that kind of music in general, spark what you do in comedy, what they do in heavy metal, and how that goes together?
Breuer: "We became friends in the '90s. I met [Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich] and we became friends, then I actually got really close with [vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield] and our families grew up together and our kids grew up together.
When this came about, I think Lars said it best, 'Bands open up for us, and no one shows up for the bands. It's a bummer for them, it's a bummer for us. Now, we want to do something that's kind of a crowd experience thing in filling the arena, trying to get them in and get them excited. You don't have to be funny, just be creative.'
I said alright ... I got this, I'm a Metallica fan. I'm just going to imagine me sitting in the audience and what I would want to see from some guy coming out there. The energy of the metal is what I've always loved and the energy I do on stage with standup, I mean, I'm not Metallica, but I've always extremely attracted and driven by that energy and the thought-provoking lyrics and drive. That's an attitude every standup show I go in. I go in to crush your face... and I think maybe that's why I'm so attracted to bands like Metallica. They're coming to crush your face, and they're going to. I watch it night after night, still don't get tired of it. As a matter of fact, when they're on, you'll see me on the floor."
Courier Journal: What do you do to open?
Breuer: "I kinda feel the crowd out. Sometimes I'm up there a half hour, sometimes more, sometimes a little less. Once I hit about 8 p.m., I take a camera and I go backstage with a live camera, look for the band, touring the backstage, start messing with the crowd a little bit. We do game shows where I pull people out of the audience and put them on stage. I created this, which seems to be hands down the most popular thing, I created a heavy metal sing-a-long with all the best metal anthems. The crowd, they go crazy with that.
It's like [Judas] Priest and Ozzy [Osbourne] and AC/DC, they go bonkers. It's awesome. Every 10-15 minutes there's something going on to keep you engaged and keep the energy up."
Courier Journal: You've been with the band for a while now on tour. What's the most interesting experience you've had through this?
Breuer: "Well, two. One is, I'm always fascinated who shows up. The Foo Fighters came one night. Slipknot crew was there. They always get really interesting guys because they all still look up to them. Onstage, I crashed a wedding. Right next door was a wedding. I told the crowd, 'How about I bring the bride and groom out here?'
The place cheered me on. I went in, I grabbed the bride and groom and I brought them on the Metallica stage. I made the whole arena sing and dance to [Abba's] 'Dancing Queen' for 30 seconds while they had their first dance. That was freaking cool."
Courier Journal: I know one of your more famous portrayals on SNL was the "Goat Boy." I was wondering if maybe you've heard of Louisville's Pope Lick Goat Man? It's actually more of a monster character than yours.
Breuer: "Is that what you guys have got? Like New Jersey has the [Jersey] Devil? I'm glad you told me about it, I'm gonna have to touch upon that at the show."
Courier Journal: What do you think would happen if the two goat men met?
Breuer: "I think my goat man would hands down win that battle, and we would end up hanging out. Maybe I'll find him and I'll bring him to karaoke on Friday night."
OK, let's talk about this:Jim Breuer says 'Goat Boy' could beat the Pope Lick Monster

Having now been a resident of Dubai for over a month I can say with confidence that it is literally THE DREAM for anyone who, like me, enjoys the kind of activities generally adored by teenagers. So far I've frequented multiple paintballing, laser-questing, go-karting and trampolining establishments. However, I have yet to experience the UAE incarnation of my absolute all time favourite genre of activity location; the waterpark. So you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm going to be first in line at Aquaventure After Dark when it's legendary moonlit pool party returns next month.
Now firmly established as one of Dubai’s hottest diary dates, Atlantis' Aquaventure's mega party will allow waterpark fans to enjoy a pool party bonanza involving thrilling waterslides, brilliant beats and giant emoji inflatables galore.
The event of (in my opinion) the year will run from 8pm to midnight on the 15 August and limited early bird tickets are on sale now from just Dhs,149! But if you miss the boat on those do not fear for regular tickets will be available at Dhs,199 online up until the day.
On top of the usual pools, rides and slides being filled with inflatable characters and beach balls, there will also be an incredible lineup of top DJs will ensure the party is in full swing with the best tunes providing the soundtrack to an unforgettable evening. Not to mention a vast range of culinary delights on offer throughout the evening. Shark Bites and Barracudas will offer indoor and outdoor seating and something for every taste including Arabic mezze, freshly baked pizzas, shawarma, falafel, dosas, fish & chips and barbeque just off the grill.
Don't forget to bring your appetites and charge your phones... See you on the slides!

Once upon a time, three brave friends decided to visit a haunted hill. They had heard stories about the hill being haunted by a spirit, so they decided to go and see for themselves.
Arrived at the hill in the late evening and started exploring. As they ventured deeper into the woods, an eerie feeling began to creep up on them. They heard strange noises coming from the dark and they saw strange shadows lurking in the trees.
All of them were scared but determined to continue their journey. As they continued walking, they finally saw a large, white mansion standing atop the hill. The mansion was surrounded by a tall wall and the friends could hear the faint sound of laughter coming from inside.
Decided to approach the mansion and as they got closer, they noticed that the windows were all broken and the door was barely hanging on its hinges. The friends were scared but determined to find out what was inside.
They entered the mansion and immediately noticed that the walls were covered in cobwebs. They also noticed that the floor was covered in dust and the furniture was covered in a thick layer of dust.
Started exploring the mansion, but they soon noticed that they were not alone. They heard a strange sound coming from one of the rooms and they quickly decided to investigate.
When they entered the room, they were shocked to see a ghostly figure standing in the corner. The figure was wearing a long, white dress and had long, white hair. She had a sad expression on her face and she was looking directly to them.
The three friends were terrified but they tried to remain calm. The ghostly figure spoke to them and informed them that she was the spirit of the hill, who had been trapped in the mansion for centuries. She told them that she had been waiting to be freed and she was grateful that the friends had finally arrived.
All the three friends were amazed and the spirit asked them to help free her from the mansion. The friends agreed and with the help of the spirit, they managed to break through the wall and free the spirit. The spirit thanked them and vanished into the night.
The three friends left the hill feeling relieved and excited to have experienced something so incredible. They knew that they had made the right decision by visiting the haunted hill and they felt proud of their courage.

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) are light emitting panels made from organic (carbon based) materials that emit light when electricity is applied. OLED are used today to make beautiful and efficient displays and large, efficient and beautiful lighting panels.
An OLED 'light bulb' is a thin film of material that emits light. OLED is the only technology that can create large "area" lighting panels (as opposed to point or line lighting enabled by LEDs and fluorescent bulbs). OLEDs can be used to make flexible and transparent panels, and can also be color-tunable. OLEDs emit beautiful soft diffused light - in fact OLEDs lighting is the closest light source to natural light (with the exception of the old incandescent lamps).
The OLED lighting market
OLED is an amazing technology for lighting - it creates beautiful, efficient and healthy light sources. OLED lighting has great promise but unfortunately the high price of production is a challenge that no one has managed to overcome and OLED lighting remains a small niche industry as of 2021.
In the early years, several large lighting makers (including GE, Philips, OSRAM, LG, Konica Minolta, Panasonic, NEC and others) had active OLED lighting programs, but slowly almost all of these companies dropped out of the market - for various reasons - but the main one being that the large investments in large scale production are not certified to lead to market adoption and the competition with LED lighting is extremely difficult.
There are several companies that still develop and produce OLED lighting panels, but the production volume is still small and most makers target niche markets such as the automotive, health and premium designer markets. Some makers are also offering OLED lamps - click here for our OLED lamp listings.
The latest OLED lighting news:
Last month we reported that Konica Minolta started to offer its flexible OLED lighting panels to global customers. One of the panels that KM is producing is a small red panel that can be integrated with an NFC antenna. This is an interesting concept, that is demonstrated in the video below.
The low power consumption of the OLED panel enables it to be powered by the NFC receiver and operate without a battery. It will be interesting to see what kind of applications will be developed using this technology.
UK-based PolyPhotonix, has been researching OLED technologies for many years, and its first commercial product will be the Noctura OLED sleep mask which helps patients with Diabetic Retinopathy.
The company announced today that it has signed a deal with Pioneer for the supply of OLED panels for the sleep masks.
In March 2014 Konica Minolta announced that it is starting to construct a R2R flexible OLED lighting fab, hoping to start production in the fall of 2014. This fab entered production later than planned, and took a long time to reach real mass production capabilities. KM has been producing panels for quite some time, but finally it is offering its panels to global customers.
Konica Minolta is currently offering four different modules - two white panels, sized 43x15 mm and 15x15 mm and a red 15x15 mm panel. The red panel can be integrated with an NFC Antenna. The panels can be flexed (40mm radius) and they all offer a brightness of 500 nits.
The OLED Association reports that Kaneka is seeing a market for OLED lighting panels in manufacturing sites, for visual inspection. The company is currently marketing such solutions in Japan, and the company says that OLED lighting can help detect defects on surface of parts, and it helps to lessen the burden on inspector eyes.
Kaneka says that it has seen defects reduced by 50% by using an OLED system instead of an LED system - at a brightness that is only 10% compared to the brightness of the LED system. It is seeing success in this market and the company's Q2 2020 panel output volume (at its OLED Aomori subsidiary) was up 10X compared to Q2 2019. The company is producing 3.54x3.54 inch OLEDs for this market.
China-based OLED lighting developer Yeolight Technology announced that its OLED panels were adopted by Hongqi in its latest H9 flagship sedan which is now being launched in the Chinese market. Hongqi is owned by FAW Car company and is actually the oldest Chinese passenger car brand.
The H9 uses 4 red OLED panels in each module. The panels are 131x32 mm in size and have 5 segments each. The color coordinate is CIY(0.69, 0.31).
At SID Displayweek 2020, BOE demonstrated an OLED automotive taillight module, developed in collaboration with "automotive makers" which BOE did not detail.
The red OLED taillights from BOE offer up to 2,000 nits in brightness and a lifetime of over 20,000 hours. The panels are less than 0.3 mm thick and will operate in a wide temperature range (-40 to 95 Celsius).
This is a sponsored post by Lumtec
Lumtec, a leading OLED materials manufacturer, announced newly developed Hole Insertion layer (HIL), Electron Transport Layer (ETL) and Electron Insertion Layer (EIL) OLED materials. Lumtec says that its patented new materials offer high efficiency and can be used in both OLED displays and lighting panels.
Lumtec has been developing OLED materials for over 20 years, and aims to provide cost-competitive and high performance pure OLED materials. The company also helps its customers with custom synthesis of OLED materials.
Audi unveiled its 2021 Q5 crossover, which now includes optional OLED taillights. The new SUV family also includes a plug-in hybrid model and the sporty SQ5 variant.
The OLED taillights are built from three OLED panels, each with six segments. Audi offers three different "signatures" or designs, which the customers can choose from when buying the Q5. The segmented OLEDs show different lighting patterns with locking and unlocking the SUV, or to show a welcome pattern when you are close to the car.
Germany-based OLED lighting developer Inuru announced that it has completed its Series-A funding round. Inuru raised €2.3 Million, led by Warsaw based venture capital fund ARIA.
Inuru aims to use the funds to accelerate the production of affordable active packaging and labeling products. Inuru uses flexible OLED lighting devices to develop "luminous label and packaging solutions".
The NSRP awards OLEDWorks and Acuity Brands with a $150,000 project to research marine OLED lighting
The US National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) awarded OLEDWorks and Acuity Brands $150,000 towards a marine lighting research project.
This is a follow-on projector to the earlier Low-Voltage Shipboard Lighting Feasibility Study project. This new 12-month project will refine shipboard configuration, optimize size & weight to maximize the inherent advantages of the OLED technology.

If you’re prone to severe bouts of envy, we suggest you look away right now. There’s not many people that can say they’ve had a birthday party thrown for them by Fendi, but hey, we’re not all Chiara Ferragni *sobs*.
For their #MeAndMyPeekaboo campaign, which celebrates 10 years of the iconic Peekaboo bag, the Italian luxury house has been showcasing famous families in a series of intimate videos (the Kardashians, McGregors and Quann sisters, to name a few).
And for their latest, Fendi have thrown Italian super-influencer Chiara Ferrangi a luxe surprise birthday party (which she celebrates today), along with her husband, rapper Fedez, her mother Marina di Guardo and her two sisters Francesca and Valentina – not forgetting her French bulldog Matilda.
The day starts at Palazzo FENDI in Rome, where Chiara is welcomed by her fam at the Palazzo Privé, and they look back at childhood photo albums, cut a beast of a birthday cake, all among some dreamy Fendi arm candy as well, of course.
Watch the full birthday celebration below…
