Dems In Arizona Corporation Commission Race Say Utility CEO Behind 'Culture Of Corruption'
The two Democrats running for Arizona corporation commission say the head of the state’s largest utility has created a “culture of corruption” and the uility could be connected to "dark money" spending this election.
On Monday, commission candidates Bill Mundell and Tom Chabin fired back at the leadership of Arizona Public Service (APS) after learning its CEO Don Brandt sent an email to employees encouraging them to vote for the three Republicans in the race — Andy Tobin, Boyd Dunn and Bob Burns.
Brandt also wrote Mundell and Chabin could not be impartial if elected based on their criticism of the utility throughout the campaign.
“No other utility in the state of Arizona has made any endorsement of any candidates except for APS,” Chabin said. “We know that every time a customer paid their bill in the past, a little bit of that money went to dark money campaigns that elected commissioners two years ago.”
Brandt’s endorsement of Commissioner Burns is particularly surprising given that he has led the fight to force APS to disclose whether it was behind $3.2 million in dark money spending last election.
The utility’s alleged 2014 campaign spending isn’t the only source of concern for the two Democrats.
Recently, the political committee associated with the Arizona Association of Realtors launched a website and sent mailers endorsing the three Republicans. Campaign finance reports show the group has $1 million on hand to spend this cycle.
“Why would they want to participate in a commission race? The concern is disclosure. Did APS funnel or launder money to the realtors to spend in this race?,” Mundell said on Monday, adding that the realtors have not traditionally invested in commission races.
The solar industry has not sat on the sidelines of this year’s election, either.
National rooftop solar leasing company Solar City, which is typically at odds with APS over solar policies like net-metering, recently advised its customers to vote for Mundell, Chabin and Burns. The company has also indirectly funneled about $800,000 into this race through independent expenditures to support its three preferred candidates.
Mundell and Chabin have proposed a “code of ethics” based on the behavior that has occurred at the commission over the last two years.
APS does not discuss campaign finance questions.
The Arizona Association of Realtors has not yet commented on Mundell's statements.

National selector Merv Hughes wants the Australian cricketers to end their matey relationship with England rivals and return to a ruthless rivalry for this year’s home Ashes series.
The former firebrand Test fast bowler believes that Australian friendships with English players may have contributed to their shock Ashes defeat in England last year.
Hughes was dismayed to see Hampshire teammates Shane Warne and Kevin Pietersen exchange jokes and share beers after play in the last series while all the Australians enjoyed the company of star all-rounder Andy Flintoff.
Hughes says Australia must again be indoctrinated with the ruthless, hard-nosed attitude towards England that was pioneered by long-serving former skipper Allan Border, also a current national selector.
“It was all too matey for me,” Hughes was quoted in Saturday’s Daily Telegraph of last year’s seismic Ashes loss. “Imagine if Shane Warne and (England’s) Kevin Pietersen didn’t have that friendship. Who knows what would have happened? We lost the attitude towards the English that we once had, the attitude that was introduced by Allan Border,” he added.
Hughes, who played 44 Tests and was one of Australia’s uncompromising competitors, is the Australian selector on duty for Australia A’s current “Top End” series against A teams from India, Pakistan and New Zealand in Cairns, north Queensland.
The five-Test Ashes series gets underway at Brisbane’s Gabba ground on November 23.

Fall 2021 Budget Advocacy Talking Points
As we prepare for the rapidly approaching 2022 New York State Legislative Session, it is vital that members are connecting with lawmakers, conveying what you are experiencing in the field, and laying the foundation for our State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2022 budget advocacy. We understand that under current conditions, your time is extremely limited. Still, it is our hope that you might find a few minutes to call and/or email your lawmakers. The below talking points are a guide, but describing the impact on your organization, residents and patients, staff, and community is vital. We do not ask this of you lightly, but we ask because your advocacy and your storytelling are particularly valuable, both in these early stages leading up to “budget season” (January-March) and as you continue to contend with the ongoing pandemic.
Members are strongly encouraged to contact both your State Senator and your Assembly Member to convey your message. Contact information for both offices can easily be found by entering your information here. After you’ve contacted your elected officials, you may share with us any feedback or takeaways you receive by filling out our Advocacy Engagement Form.
Finally, in addition to relaying the below talking points to your lawmakers, we strongly encourage members to set up either virtual or in-person meetings with elected officials in the district before they return to Albany in January. If you would like assistance in setting up a meeting or connecting with electeds in general, please feel free to reach out to Sarah Daly directly at firstname.lastname@example.org. Sarah is happy to assist you in any advocacy efforts.
Fall 2021 Talking Points
- I am calling you today to urge you to contact the Governor and ask her to take immediate action to address the unprecedented stress that the long term care system and my own organization are currently experiencing.
- The State has done nothing meaningful to help us care for our residents and patients during the COVID-19 public health crisis. In fact, many State actions have made it harder to do our daily work. New York has imposed Medicaid cuts and additional, unfunded, duplicative mandates that do not actually help us enhance the quality of care for our residents and patients.
- In fact, in 2020, a year dominated by the pandemic when most states poured funds into the long term care sector, New York cut nursing home rates by $168 million annually and enacted budget legislation aimed at reducing overall long term care spending by $3.5 billion over two years.
- Since the beginning of the pandemic nearly 20 months ago, we have been working tirelessly to provide the best possible care to our residents/patients with no support or assistance from the State.
- During the pandemic, the cost of caring for individuals receiving long term care services skyrocketed because of State-mandated staff testing; shortages and inflated prices of personal protective equipment (PPE); and hazard pay, overtime, and shift differentials and other expenses to secure appropriate levels of staffing.
- While we have received some COVID-19-related financial relief from the federal government, it amounts to only a fraction of the exorbitant costs incurred.
- Pandemic-related cost increases and recent cuts have only exacerbated existing financial instability among long term care providers due to inadequate Medicaid rates. There has been no cost-of-living increase for long term care providers in 14 years, and over the last four years, New York has cut Medicaid reimbursement of long term care providers by more than $750 million – almost three times the amount cut from any other health care sector.
- Medicaid funds 72 percent of the care in New York nursing homes. Meanwhile, New York’s Medicaid rate for nursing homes is the worst in the country when the cost of care is compared to payment. Now, New York’s non-profit long term care providers are reaching a breaking point. Not-for-profit and public nursing homes are closing or selling to for-profit companies at an accelerating rate.
- Unprecedented workforce shortages are contributing to the challenges facing providers and consumers. Across the long term care continuum, many providers have suspended admissions and closed units because they are unable to find sufficient staff. The long-standing lack of funding and support is now explicitly manifesting in lack of care options for our most vulnerable.
- Please be sure to share specifics of your own organization with lawmakers. What do your finances currently look like? Have you had to close units or stop admissions due to staffing issues? What have you seen happen in your organization in recent months? How are your organization’s current challenges affecting the community at large?
- We urgently need financial support from the State to bolster our long term care workforce and keep providers financially viable so that older adults in New York will have access to high-quality long term care.
Enter your information below to send a digital advocacy letter to your elected officials, urging the State and Governor to provide financial relief and support to New York's long term care providers!

The NWU has reached full capacity for its 2022 intake with no extra places available. Close to 120 000 applications were received of which only 10 889 could be accommodated in terms of our approved enrollment targets. Strictly in adherence to Covid-19 protocols and guidelines, no mass gathering will be allowed at the campus gates and admission offices.
“The NWU is proud of every Grade 12 learner who has completed their school careers successfully and want to wish them well in advance as they embark on their various endeavours. Unfortunately, we are just not able to accommodate any walk-ins who did not qualify during the application process last year,” says deputy registrar Prof Michael Temane.
He says walk-ins refer mostly to non-accepted students who still want to study but did not meet the criteria or did not apply for admission.
Responses to applicants will be sent from 21 January 2022, when Grade 12 results are released. Any prospective students who are uncertain whether they were admitted to study at the NWU should contact the Central Admission and Applications Office (CAAO) call centre or any of the NWU’s campus help desks from 25 January 2022, when online registration will commence.

Prof Temane reminds unsuccessful applicants that another opportunity exists where they may register online on the Central Applications Clearing House (CACH) website. The CACH sign-up service aims to provide unsuccessful applicants with access to career development services and where possible, an opportunity to access spaces still available within higher education institutions.
The CACH facility sends prospective students’ information to all tertiary institutions. These institutions may contact them where places exist and if students meet the requirements

Purpose of review: Influenza infections are frequently involved in asthma exacerbations. During influenza epidemics substantial excess morbidity due to respiratory tract complications is reported in all age categories as well as excess mortality among the elderly. Vaccines are available for protection against influenza. Worldwide, vaccination is advised and considered a quality point for asthma care. However, the protective effect of influenza vaccination in patients with asthma is still disputed. In order to establish the current state of affairs we reviewed the recent literature on the protective effect of influenza vaccination and its usefulness in patients with asthma.
Recent findings: Several studies were found addressing influenza and the protective aspects of vaccination. They discussed the incidence, the adverse effects of vaccination, the coverage of influenza vaccination among patients with asthma and the effectiveness of the vaccine.
Summary: Influenza vaccination can safely be used in patients with asthma. Allegations that vaccination could provoke asthma exacerbations are convincingly invalidated by previous and recent research. Although patients with asthma are one of the major target groups for immunization, vaccine coverage in all age categories remains low. So far, no unequivocal beneficial effect of influenza vaccination in patients with asthma was found in observational and experimental studies in the sense of reduction of asthma exacerbations and other complications. Recent studies confirm these negative findings. More long-term randomized, placebo-controlled studies, focusing on influenza- proven illness in patients with asthma, are needed to address the question of how helpful influenza vaccination is in these patients.

The Washington School of Psychiatry presents Jon Frederickson in a Saturday conference, Sept. 22.
According to psychotherapy research, 50% of patients drop out of treatment prematurely. One reason is that a misalliance occurs. Borderline patients most commonly form a misalliance with a projection rather than a therapeutic alliance with thetherapist. Unable to see the therapist realistically, they cannot collaborate on the therapeutic task.

This entry provides some background on bipolar disorder, information on how to get help, and testimonies on what life is like living with it. If you are currently suffering, or you know someone who is, you may wish to skip to the 'How To Get Help' section. At the end of the Entry, there are also some links to organisations that might be able to help you.
Bipolar disorder, sometimes known as 'manic depression', is a brain disorder that affects between 1% and 1.5% of the adult population in any given year. It is equally prevalent in men and women. It is characterised by alternating periods of extreme moods, ranging from overly elated or irritable states (mania) to extreme sadness and hopelessness (depression), with normal moods in between. The disorder can be disruptive and distressing, both to sufferers and their loved ones.
What Causes Bipolar Disorder?
The short answer is, 'nobody knows'. Researchers generally agree that there is no single cause for bipolar disorder, only that many factors act together to cause the illness.
Certainly there is a strong genetic component. A predisposition to bipolar disorder runs in families. What is not certain is whether this relates to any physical phenomena - although some limited evidence is emerging from imaging techniques that the brains of people with bipolar disorder may differ from those of healthy people. There are also complex changes in brain chemistry.
Bipolar disorder typically has its onset in adolescence or early adulthood and continues throughout life. Others, however, do not develop it until later adulthood (the 40s is a common time) - and it can also afflict children. Sometimes, but by no means always, there can be an identifiable trigger such as an illness, trauma, prolonged loss of sleep or stress (for which some sufferers have inadequate coping mechanisms). However, once the illness has taken hold, the sufferer will typically cycle between mood states with no discernible trigger.
The Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
A person with bipolar disorder cycles between depression, mania and sometimes 'mixed' states with features of both mania and depression, usually with periods of normal mood in between. These typically recur, and at their extremes can cause severe disruption to the sufferer's life if they are not treated.
It is important to recognise that the highs and lows of bipolar disorder are extremes of what might ordinarily be regarded as normal moods: everyone has their 'ups and downs'. The recognition of a depressive or manic episode rests on identifying a combination of symptoms and their severity.
In the depressive state, mood is characterised by symptoms such as:
- Feeling very sad and hopeless
- Mental and physical slowing
- Fatigue and lack of energy
- Finding it difficult to concentrate
- Losing interest in everyday activities
- Inability to enjoy activities that previously gave pleasure
- Feelings of emptiness or worthlessness
- Feeling pessimistic about everything
- Feelings of serious self-doubt
- Feelings of guilt
- Avoiding contact with others and wanting to hide
- Difficulty sleeping, waking up early
- Loss of appetite, sometimes accompanied by stomach upsets or nausea
- Loss of interest in sex
- Thoughts of suicide or self-harm
These are general symptoms of depressive illness. The difference for bipolar disorder is that, usually after two to four major episodes of depression, the sufferer experiences a shift into a manic state, symptoms of which include:
- Feeling extremely happy, elated or euphoric
- Decreased need for sleep
- Feeling full of energy
- Feeling full of great new ideas, or the subjective experience that thoughts are racing
- Feeling important, having inflated self-esteem or grandiosity
- Being more talkative than usual or pressure to keep talking
- Attention is easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant items
- Increased sociability and social engagement, even with strangers - feeling the life and soul of the party
- Increase in goal-directed activity (either socially, at work/school, or sexually)
- Psychomotor agitation (restlessness, fidgeting, being always on the move)
- Excessive involvement in pleasurable activities that have a high potential for painful consequences (eg, engaging in unrestrained buying sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments)
- Irritability, especially at not being 'understood' by others.
A major problem during manic episodes is that sufferers may not be aware, or may be only partially aware, that their thoughts and behaviour are abnormal. From their point of view, they may be having a whale of a time and may well be irritated when others point out that they are acting unusually.
The extreme manic and depressive states may also be accompanied by psychosis - strange sensations or ideas which are not based on reality. This can include hallucinations (hearing, seeing, or otherwise sensing the presence of stimuli that are not actually there) and delusions (false fixed beliefs that are not subject to reason or contradictory evidence and are not explained by a person's usual cultural concepts).
The combination and severity of symptoms differ widely from person to person. Mania, for example, can be experienced in the milder form of hypomania, characterised by lower-level, non-psychotic symptoms such as increased energy, euphoria, irritability, and intrusiveness. Hypomania may not impair the individual's functioning, but is noticeable to others. In some cases, sufferers experience 'mixed' episodes with characteristics of both depression and mania.
Types of Bipolar Disorder
The key characteristic of bipolar disorder is that it involves cycles between mood states. The frequency and duration of swings and their severity varies between individuals.
For diagnostic purposes, psychiatrists have identified some broad patterns:
Bipolar I disorder is diagnosed when a person has experienced at least one episode of severe mania, with or without previous experience of a major depressive episode.
Bipolar II disorder is when a person has experienced at least one hypomanic episode but has not met the criteria for a full manic episode, but with previous experience of major depression.
There is also Cyclothymic disorder, a milder illness in which the person cycles between numerous hypomanic and depressive episodes, without meeting the full criteria for mania or major depression, over a period of two years or more (one year for children and adolescents).
The majority of people with bipolar disorder experience extreme cycles only every few years (a two-yearly cycle seems fairly common) - indeed, with successful treatment the cycles may be ironed out. Usually the first episode of mania or hypomania follows a number of periods of depression over several years. Many find that a manic episode is followed shortly by a plunge into particularly severe depression.
Others cycle more rapidly, experiencing four or more episodes of depression and mania in a year. In a few cases, the cycles are ultra-rapid, with episodes shorter than a week, and distinct and dramatic mood shifts within a single day. People who cycle most rapidly are the most difficult to treat.
Managing and Treating Bipolar Disorder
Many people with bipolar disorder will experience hospitalisation at some point in their life. Those who are depressed and at risk of self-harm often realise or are persuaded of the need for hospital treatment for their own safety. Those who are manic often find themselves in hospital involuntarily, sometimes following contact with the police. This is not to imply that they are violent or commit unlawful acts: their unusual behaviour may land them in trouble with others or otherwise draw the police's attention. The purpose of hospitalisation is to ensure that the person is in a safe place where their condition can be diagnosed and monitored and the effects of medication assessed1. Hospitalisation is not always necessary and, with suitable support, these aspects can often be managed in the person's own family or community.
Drug therapy is important for the treatment of bipolar disorder, the main focus being on mood stabilisers. The most common medication for mood stabilisation is lithium, taken orally as lithium carbonate. Because lithium has a narrow therapeutic range for blood concentration, which means that blood samples have to be taken regularly, and because some have difficulties with its side effects, other drugs are increasingly used. These include anticonvulsants, principally valproate (Depakote) and carbamazepine. For patients who are psychotic, an anti-psychotic tranquillizer such as olanzapine (Zyprexa) or haloperidol (Haldol) may be administered, and for depressed patients a mood stabiliser is often combined with an anti-depressant such as venlafaxine (Effexor), bupropion (Wellbutrin), paroxetine (Paxil) or sertraline (Zoloft). Use of antidepressants requires careful monitoring, because they can sometimes precipitate a manic state.
Although there is sometimes a certain fear and stigma surrounding psychiatric medication, the importance of drug therapies cannot be over-stressed. Some initial adjustment may be needed, but most patients will find a long-term regime that both controls their condition and has tolerable or zero side effects. Psychopharmacology has made great advances since the days when tranquillisers were the only weapon in the armoury!
In a very small number of cases, patients do not respond to drug treatments. In cases of very severe depression or mania, ECT (electro-convulsive therapy) is occasionally used. This may also be necessary in order to avoid giving drugs to pregnant women.
It is also worth mentioning some complementary therapies which may be applied in combination with drug treatment. St John's Wort, which is sometimes used to treat mild depression, appears to have little or no effect for bipolar disorder. However, there is emerging clinical evidence for the benefit of Omega-3 oils, found in oily fish such as mackerel, sardines and tuna. The effective component is believed to be eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)2. Large doses are needed (1g per day of EPA). The corresponding dosage of oil varies, since different brands contain different proportions of EPA. Because of the amounts involved, it is difficult to get a sufficient dosage simply by eating more oily fish. Omega-3 oil should be used as only an adjunct to mainstream drug therapy (it should not be the sole therapy).
Besides first-line medical therapies, 'talking cures' have a role to play in the management of bipolar disorder. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, in which patients are encouraged to identify and modify negative thoughts, has been found to be effective in managing depression.
However, there are no 'magic wands' that can talk a person out of bipolar disorder. The emphasis in therapy is to help people come to terms with their condition and to teach them to identify the feelings and actions that might suggest another episode is on the way. Regular contact with professionals (psychiatrists, community psychiatric nurses) is essential and the involvement of family and friends is strongly encouraged. Self-help groups are also available to give support and understanding to sufferers and carers.
How To Get Help
On average, people with bipolar disorder wait ten years before they are properly diagnosed. In many cases the disorder is treated as unipolar depression. Since the treatment for this is only partially successful for bipolar depression, the individual may undergo several long and severe depressive episodes before receiving proper treatment.
For most, the first port of call for depression (or hypomania) will be a General Practitioner (US: physician). This can be hit and miss because GPs will encounter depressed patients daily and, unless symptoms are severe enough, or unless the person is exhibiting manic symptoms that are clearly different to depression, immediate access to a psychiatrist may not be immediately forthcoming - especially in the UK where specialist medicine is rationed. When someone is suffering from mania, it can be useful to get friends or relatives involved in persuading the GP. Psychiatric hospitals will take emergency referrals from GPs.
Another useful channel is community psychiatric services. In the UK, most local health authorities have established services that allow people with mental health problems to contact psychiatric nurses, 24 hours a day. While these are primarily intended for those who have already had contact with psychiatric services, they are very unlikely to brush off a caller who is experiencing problems and who needs quick access to specialists.
As a fallback, there are various voluntary organizations dealing with bipolar disorder and other mental health issues who are able to offer advice and support. For those in distress, the Samaritans will lend an ear and, if necessary, put you in contact with others. They are available 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, by phone or email. If you need them, do not hesitate to call.
If you are already thinking of harming yourself, please, please contact the Samaritans right away. They are there for you.
Telephone 08457 90 90 90 (UK), 1850 60 90 90 (ROI), or email: [email protected]

Living with Bipolar Disorder
Anyone, at any time, can find that they have bipolar disorder. It affects men, woman and children of all ethnic groups, social classes and levels of education. It is a highly disorienting and disrupting illness, both during manic and depressed episodes, as testaments from people with bipolar disorder reveal.3
One of the problems in the early stages of episodes is recognising the symptoms in time to intervene. This is certainly true for hypomania:
I had no real idea I was getting ill. I was feeling dynamic at work, sociable and full of energy. I had sort of half an inkling that I was not my usual self, but attributed this to the fact that life was stimulating. Anyway - it was spring! I always feel good when the sun shines!
It can be equally true for depression:
I was generally feeling down and it was beginning to affect my work and social life. I was afraid to admit that I needed help. That would mean taking time out and letting everyone down. I had to be strong and tough my way through it.
But it is important to seek help when it is needed. The onset of extreme episodes can be rapid and drastic:
With hindsight, my thoughts started to spin out of control. I was young again, fearless and capable of great things. I was making unrealistic plans for alternative careers which would make me super-rich. Before long, I had abandoned my family, citing temporary marital differences, and was charging around the city meeting all sorts of people and having all sorts of adventures. A few times I was in danger of being attacked by people who found my behaviour and conversation odd. My mind was constantly skipping from one scheme to another, until everything seemed connected. One of my many notions was to capture all my thoughts and experiences in a great, earth-shattering novel that would revolutionise the world! There were also times where I would simply wander around, smiling or muttering to myself, and spending money on whatever seemed fascinating at the time.
It's hard to convey depression to someone who hasn't experienced it. 'Sadness' doesn't even come close. I couldn't even do the simplest things like drag myself out of bed. I was constantly afraid of how my absence would be going down at work. Everything was bleak, bleak, bleak and I just wanted to run away. My thoughts turned to suicide and I started to make plans.
Depressed people are often desperate to seek help...
My suicidal thoughts scared me. I just wanted to get better and would do anything it took....although it must be recognised that many need support and encouragement to make the right step:
I hated to admit how bad things had got and was scared of submitting myself to a psychiatrist. Besides, my business was going to ruin and I had to get back out there. Anyway, it was all my fault and there was nothing that anyone could do or say.
For those in a manic or hypomanic episode, their euphoria and pre-occupation can make it difficult to get them help:
I only agreed to see a doctor to humour my husband. Even then I was annoyed at having to take medicine and had to be visited daily by a community nurse. Looking back, I can see that my flighty behaviour was stopping me from looking after my family properly.
My head was full of racing ideas and sometimes I would trip out. At times it was desperately scary, and part of me realised it wasn't right - but even then I didn't want it to stop. I was a super-god on an amazing high!
Eventually my wife tracked me down with the help of the police. She persuaded me to go to a hospital, which I did to humour her. To my utter surprise, I was detained. For the first week or so I planned to take my case to the European Court of Human Rights!
Should admission to a psychiatric hospital be necessary, whether voluntary or compulsory, this can be disorienting and frightening - especially for the first-timer:
I really didn't know what to expect. Would the place be full of loonies? Would I be safe?
I couldn't work out how I'd ended up here against my will. I became uncooperative and disruptive as I repeatedly failed to convince my psychiatrist that there was nothing wrong with me.Psychiatric hospitals are, on the whole though, pretty mundane places.
I never felt that I would come to harm. The staff were there to look after me and I could talk to them if I was feeling low.
Yes, there were some sad and desperate people in my ward - but there was a wide mix and I established friendships. I realised that there were all sorts - from professionals to the homeless - and my situation was nothing unusual.
My main memory is of boredom, punctuated by relaxation sessions and games of Trivial Pursuit.
Most hospital stays are brief and last only until medication has been established.
The importance of proper medication can't be over-emphasised:
My psychiatrist and pharmacist discussed the options with me and gave me a pretty free choice. I settled on Depakote because it avoids the need for regular blood tests.
I was worried about side-effects. Some pills did cause problems, and I've had to chop and change. Now the only thing is that lithium can give me a dry mouth - plus I have to go to the gym more often or it makes me put on weight! Sometimes I'm tempted to try and live without medication. I'm feeling fine, so why should I need it? I have to remember that they're what's keeping me even. The risks of stopping are just too great.
When I was depressed, it took a few weeks for my anti-depressants to kick in. But then, quite unexpectedly, I realised I wasn't feeling nearly so bad any more. Over the years I'd tried various types, with mixed results. Some would work for a while and then stop. But now I've found one which seems to work and I take it long-term.
I only need anti-depressants occasionally. I have to be careful to stop taking them when I'm over the depression, because in the past they've made me start to get high again.
Bipolar episodes can be a major shock to the system, and it can be difficult for people to come to terms with the facts of their condition.
A particular problem following a manic episode is that it is often shortly followed by severe depression. Even those who have been depressed before can find its severity surprising:
It was like a light being switched off. Without warning I flipped over into the darkest place I have ever been.Even without depression proper, people can find the consequences of their depression difficult to come to terms with:
What planet had I been on? What on earth had I been thinking? What must all those friends who I'd phoned in the middle of the night be thinking of me?
I'd emptied my bank account and said some mean things to my wife. I couldn't see how I was going to put my life back together.And, of course, the illness affects family and friends:
I knew he'd been ill and was better now... but I was still scared of it happening again and wanted to protect our children.There are no easy answers about how to cope with the aftermath. Sometimes individuals or families will find that they need outside help, and psychiatric services, social workers, voluntary organizations and self-help groups can all be useful.
I've relied on my husband to get me through this horrible time. It may be a soppy cliché - but I love him a thousand times more for sticking by me.
One or two 'friends' have steered clear of me. But the important ones have stayed with me all the way - and I'm not sure that I want the others as friends anyway.
Getting On With Life
Life goes on. There is nothing particularly unusual about people with bipolar disorder. Most lead perfectly normal lives. But at the outset, the illness can be devastating:
If you had told me at age 25 that I would have a nervous breakdown and be diagnosed bipolar within two years, I would have laughed in your face. Actually, I would have asked what bipolar meant, and then laughed. When I did have a manic episode, I was devastated, and pictured a horrific future. But luckily I live in an age where bipolar illness is treatable. My mood swings, while not perfectly under control, are manageable. And I know research continues to find even more effective treatments.
The potential disruption of bipolar disorder should not be underestimated. For some, it can lead to job loss, the break-up of relationships or financial hardship. However, the illness is usually treatable, and most people with bipolar disorder lead normal lives:
My medication is working fine, and I'm holding down a well-paid professional job. I still have my 'blue' periods - but they're far less intense. I use what I learnt from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to manage my self-doubts.
Unfortunately, those with bipolar disorder are also affected by society's stigma about mental illness. But even this can be overcome:
I'm quite open about my illness. In fact, though, nobody mentions it. Perhaps they're scared or embarrassed - but then... I wouldn't stigmatise anyone, so why would they?
On the positive side, evidence suggests that people with bipolar disorder tend to be more creative and intelligent than average. Many noted celebrities have bipolar disorder.4 Part of the 'trick' of managing the illness is in recognising when this normal, positive creativity gives way to something less benign:
At first I'd feel scared if I had a creative idea or started to feel too happy or enthusiastic. But I know I've got all the support in place. If I don't realise it myself, I know they know about my illness, people will let me know if they think I'm getting too hyper.
So, yes, bipolar disorder is a serious, disorienting illness which impacts both sufferers and those around them. But it is just an illness - like diabetes, hypertension or the common cold. With proper treatment and support, life can and does go on.

My bleeding head photo is more like a quadruple exposure with dripping blood added at the end. I’ll have to make a different tutorial for that one.
If that wasn’t enough, here’s an animated step-by-step video showing you how to make a fish man.
Interestingly, Polish entrepreneur, Marcin Osman, is sending me some Tom’s deodorant in exchange for creating the double exposures pictured above. You might know Marcin because he’s the entrepreneur who recently got Gary Vaynerchuk’s book in Polish bookstores. Anyway, Marcin and I are both in the Choose Yourself Facebook group and last night he saw my double exposure of James Altucher in the news feed. He asked if I could make one of him, and he was polite and asked me what I needed in return. I told him Tom’s deodorant (I hate buying essentials). He’s sending it to me as we speak. I finished about 5 different double exposures for him. I like to over deliver.

Bitcoin Reaches Milestone as Price Continues to Rise
Digital currency Bitcoin has surpassed yet another milestone, after being valued at over $1,000 for a full month for the first time.
The currency, which is still subject to volatile swings in price, breached $1,000 on February 14.
A month on, despite significant challenges, the currency has remained trading at over $1,000, and was trading at $1,255.82 at the time of this report.
Analysts have interpreted this as an important milestone for the digital currency, as it continues on its trajectory to greater stability and market transparency.
Despite the high profile decision of the SEC last week, which ruled against proposed ETFs based on bitcoin, conditions for the currency have remained strong.
After losing some $300 from its price in minutes following the SEC ruling, bitcoin quickly recovered lost ground, and has continued to rise in price ever since.
The development marks the first full month in the currency’s history where trading remained constantly above the $1,000 threshold.
Bitcoin is fully decentralized, independent of banks, governments and regulators. Relying on the distributed ledger to record, verify and effect transactions, it differs from traditional global currencies in its function.
The distributed ledger is a product of the blockchain, a technology that could hold significant benefits for a range of industries and government functions.
As developers continue to move towards more viable use-cases for the blockchain, its role in supporting the growing bitcoin market is widely regarded as an important indicator for its future potential.
With bitcoin traded on specialist bitcoin exchanges, the market for bitcoin remains less liquid than for major international currencies, leading to increased volatility relative to other assets. However, as the best performing currency in the world in 2016, and a broadly strong start to 2017 already under its belt, the future for bitcoin now looks more promising than ever.
Maintaining the $1,000 value for a full month for the first time will be seen as a sign that bitcoin could be reaching a more mature stage in its evolution, helping allay the concerns of investors over price volatility.
With governments, banks and wider industries continuing to open up to bitcoin transactions, the imminent future for bitcoin looks set to continue on this trajectory.
Note: Tokens on the Bitcoin Core (segwit) Chain are Referred to as BTC coins. Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) is today the only Bitcoin implementation that follows Satoshi Nakamoto’s original whitepaper for Peer to Peer Electronic Cash. Bitcoin BSV is the only major public blockchain that maintains the original vision for Bitcoin as fast, frictionless, electronic cash.

LINDA Nolan has revealed her cancer has spread to her brain in a heartbreaking update on her health battle.
The 64-year-old worried fans after being pictured in a wheelchair outside hospital last week.
Linda revealed on Good Morning Britain today she's set to undergo radiotherapy after being given the diagnosis a week ago.
"I've always been open about my treatment and people have been getting in touch asking what's going on," said Linda, who first found fame in 1974 with her sisters in pop group The Nolans.
"I want to tell you, sadly for me, my cancer has spread to my brain.
"It's very frightening. There isn't much help for brain cancer.
"But I'm not giving up, I'm positive."
Linda said she was given the diagnosis after suffering three nasty falls as she struggled with her balance.
She is now living with her sister Denise and being supported by her family, including Loose Women star Coleen.
"It's a scary trip to be on," Linda admitted.
Most read in TV
"It's about making the most of every day and being positive. I've beaten it before so hopefully I can do it again."
Linda was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2005 and given the all-clear the next year.
But in March 2017, she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer which was identified after it spread to her hip, following a fall.
Doctors confirmed they could see no cure - and in May 2020 that it had also spread to her liver.
Her sister Bernie died from breast cancer aged 52 in 2013 after it had spread to her brain, lungs, liver and bones.
Linda's husband Brian also died from skin cancer in 2007.
When asked by host Richard Madeley if she felt angry with cancer, Linda replied: “Yeah I won’t lie, there are moments when I am in a heap in the corner crying and I try not to say, ‘Why me?’, because why not me?
“So many people are suffering with this terrible disease, but I talk about it and I always have because maybe I can help someone at home who is on their own.
“It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to feel angry, it’s okay to feel sorry for yourself but just don’t let it overtake you because then cancer’s winning everything, it’s taking your life from you.
“But yes, anger is there. You think, ‘How much more?’ And again, I don’t wanna push it on anybody else’s family but we’ve had such a lot of it in our family. So much heartbreak through it that sometimes you do go, ‘What have I done to deserve this?’ But I won’t let it beat me in that respect.”


For mechanical equipment such as automobiles and machines, bolts are indispensable connectors. On the one hand, they must have sufficient strength to ensure that the joints will not loosen, and on the other hand, they must ensure reliable quality without breakage or other quality problems. Therefore, how to choose cost-effective high-strength bolts is very important. First, choose a regular manufacturer. Regular manufacturers have a more complete production process and quality management system, and will pay more attention to product quality, and the quality of the bolts produced is relatively more stable and reliable. At the same time, the after-sales service of regular manufacturers is also relatively complete. If any quality problems occur, the manufacturers will deal with them as soon as possible. Second, choose products that meet national standards. When selecting bolts, it can be noticed that the country has issued relevant standards, such as GB/T 5782-2000 high-strength bolts, GB/T3098.1-2010 Mechanical Standard Fasteners. Parts, etc. Choosing products that meet the standards can avoid deviations and other problems during use. Third, choose the specifications and sizes that suit you. Bolts of different specifications and sizes have different application ranges, and maijin needs to select bolts of different specifications according to the specific conditions such as the thickness and strength of the connecting parts. This requires a full understanding of the specific usage of the required bolts before purchasing, so as to avoid problems caused by purchasing products that do not meet the requirements. Fourth, choose the corrosion resistance that suits your needs. The corrosion resistance of bolts of different materials is also different, and different products need to be selected according to local conditions, climate and working environment characteristics. For bolts used in humid environments, products with corrosion resistance need to be selected. Fifth, choose products with anti-loosening function. During the use of mechanical equipment, bolts are often loosened due to equipment vibration or long-term use. In order to avoid accidents caused by this situation, you can choose bolts with anti-loosening function, which can effectively prevent the bolts from loosening under long-term or vibration environments. To sum up, the key to purchasing cost-effective high-strength bolts is to choose regular manufacturers, choose products that meet national standards, choose specifications, sizes and corrosion resistance that suit you, and choose products with anti-loosening functions. Only by doing these things can we buy more cost-effective and more reliable high-strength bolts.

Learn how and when to use crabgrass preventer with Blain’s Farm & Fleet.
As the temperatures start to warm up, your lawn will start to wake up. With this comes the possibility of crabgrass. Crabgrass is a common weed that can invade your lawn. While it’s not harmful, it can be an eyesore in an otherwise luscious lawn. With the help of Blain’s Farm & Fleet, you can learn about using crabgrass preventer to protect your lawn.
When to Use Crabgrass Preventer
Crabgrass seed starts to germinate when the soil warms up. Initial emergence can happen when the soil gets to be about 55°F. The majority of seeds start to germinate when the soil reaches between 60 and 70°F. Depending on what type of climate you live in, this could be in early spring through mid-summer. Soil temperature can also be affected by wind, moisture, and the amount of shade your lawn receives. You’ll want to use the preventer before the seeds germinate. It should be applied when the soil reaches between 50 and 55°F. If it’s used too early, it can break down before the seeds start to germinate. The best time to apply crabgrass preventer is before it rains. The rain will wash the preventer off the grass blades into the soil and the crabgrass seed.
How to Apply Crabgrass Preventer
Crabgrass preventer is a pre-emergent herbicide. It must be used before the crabgrass seeds have sprouted. To apply the preventer, use a lawn spreader or garden seeder. Apply it uniformly across your lawn, making sure not to miss any spots. The Lawn and Garden Experts at Blain’s Farm & Fleet recommend using Scotts Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass Preventer or Estate 24-0-12 Early Spring Crabgrass Preventer and Lawn Fertilizer. After you’ve applied the herbicide, you’ll need to water it–unless it rains. If you have a newly-seeded lawn, wait until you’ve mowed your lawn a few times before applying a herbicide. Otherwise, it can kill the grass seedlings. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when applying a herbicide to your lawn.
If you do not apply the crabgrass preventer in time do not panic. Blain’s Farm & Fleet offers a wide range of crab-grass spray killers to treat this problem. Bayer Lawn Weed & Crabgrass Killer, Natria Grass & Weed Control, Roundup Weed and Grass Killer, and DuraZone Weed & Grass Killer are just a few crabgrass killers that are sold at Blain’s Farm & Fleet.
Maintaining a healthy lawn and using mulch can also combat lawn weeds. Read through our article for more tips on fighting off lawn weeds. At Blain’s Farm & Fleet, we understand that your lawn is your pride and joy. That’s why we carry all the lawn care supplies you need to keep your lawn looking lush and green. From fertilizers to lawn mowers, we have you covered. For more tips, visit our Lawn Care blog.

US Embassy travel advisory uncalled for, says deputy minister

Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said the travel advisory seemed to paint a negative picture of Malaysia. â" Picture by Yusof Mat Isa JOHOR BARU, Jan 13 â" The recent travel advisory issued by the United States (US) Embassy to US citizens to stay away from frequenting a certain nightclub in Kuala Lumpur (KL) following alleged cases of âcoordinated drink-spikingâ is uncalled for, says Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed.
The Home Deputy Minister said such an actio n seemed to paint a negative picture of Malaysia, and at the same time implied that such incidents also happened at all nightclubs in the country.
âThere is (really) no need to issue the travel advisory. Just tip off the police, (as) they can take action if there is a complaint. Such information can adversely impact the countryâs imageâ¦ in fact, it implies that all nightclubs in KL, and Malaysia are doing the same.
âHowever, I will instruct the police to look into the matter and investigate if there are complaints from the victims.
âSometimes, the victims did not lodge a (police) report but discussed it on social media and so on. Perhaps, this could be the reason why the US Embassy is concerned about the matter,â Nur Jazlan, who is also Pulai MP, told a press conference after attending the Everyday Sports Futsal Centre first anniversary here today.
Yesterday, the embassy in a statement urged US citizens to avoid visiting The Beach Club in Jalan P. Ramlee following âcoordinated drink-spikingâ cases at the premises which allegedly targeted foreigners.
The statement also said that such cases were not limited to the premises.
âThat is why the police are conducting drug-prevention activities in night clubs. Sometimes, the owners of these nightclubs are not aware of what is happening inside as those who provide the service (of fixing and serving drug-laced drinks) are the waiters and bartenders,â noted the deputy minister.
Nur Jazlan said the drug-laced drinks could have been offered for between RM30 and RM40 per glass.
âThey have various ways of offering the drinksâ¦however, it is difficult for us to prove that as (the âdealâ) takes place behind the counter,â he added. â" BernamaSource: Google News
