Bellzlleb (stylized as BELLZLLEᗺ) was a Japanese heavy metal band, formed in 1985 by Tetsu and Yuji in Chiba. The band's sound was heavily influenced by elements from black metal, doom metal and hardcore with philosophical influences from Aleister Crowley, the occult, horror, satanism and the dark, heavy sound of Black Sabbath. They toured the Japanese national club circuit extensively during the 1980s and the early 1990s and created various recordings until they disassociated in 1992.

History
Bellzlleb was formed between junior high school mates in 1985, guitarist and composer Tetsu (Genkaku Allergy, Spooky Six Mouse, E.G.O., Love House, Zeus) drums and arrangement by Yuji (Scarecrow, Love House). Tetsu and Yuji played together prior to Bellzlleb in hard rock band Love House. After a series of auditions, Rick (Norihiko Hayashi) the loudest and craziest bass player in Chiba city, was recruited into the band along with Koizumi (Atsuko Koizumi) who fronted local Black Sabbath cover bands in high school.

Her high-tone vocals were influenced by singer Ozzy Osbourne. This completed the original lineup of Bellzlleb in 1985 during high school. Bellzlleb played at local clubs such as Dancing Mother's and participated in local metal festivals and drew fans together in Chiba, which led to participation in the band contest Yamaha East West in 1985. Bellzlleb won through a series of local and regional contests and was nominated in the East West 1985 nationwide junior finals in Tokyo at Nakano Sun Plaza.  During an extensive club circuit era in the Kanto region their first real break came in 1986 when they were asked to open for a thrash metal band, Black Rose.  Black Rose was the band whose guitarist and lead composer Pata later joined  X Japan. Opening for Black Rose at Kagurazaka Explosion several times during the course of a few months led to a live-phono-sheet recording entitled "Satanic Metal".

"Satanic Metal" increased Bellzlleb's core fan base, which led to another compilation recording at Kagurazaka Explosion in 1987 entitled Heavy Metal Force IV. By the Summer of 1987, Bellzlleb had expanded beyond Kanto region in Japan to expand their fan base on a nationwide level with extensive club circuiting in Japan. Koizumi left in 1987 due to direction disagreement and health related reasons to be replaced by vocalist Rei (ex-Hardwave) as the new frontman. Co-founder and drummer Yuji left in 1988 due to musical style disagreement and direction changes.  Bellzlleb's first full-length album "Bellzlleb" which was originally scheduled for release in 1998 was delayed for a year. In 1998 drummer Eby ex-Zi:Kill supported Bellzlleb live performances and participated in compilation album recordings immediately after Yuji's departure. Fumi was recruited 1989 and started recording of their first full-length album, Bellzlleb released from Nude Records. Rick left the band soon after this release due to directional disagreement and was replaced by ex-Jurassic Jade bass player, Mataro. With the 1990 line-up, Bellzlleb recorded a second full-length album, Section II ~Aru Gusha no Shougai~ released by Captain Records (owned by Takarajima).

Bellzlleb increased their touring schedule nationwide to support their release, however Mataro and Fumi left to pursue their respective band careers in Japan and overseas. Tetsu and Rei, left without a rhythm section at Bellzlleb in 1991 released an acoustic mini-album, Inori at Nude Records. The final line-up of Bellzlleb in 1992 consisted of bass player Takami Rosenfeld and drummer Kimura. Bellzlleb released their third and last full-length album, Mr.Ree: ~Kairai to Sad~ in 1992. Bellzlleb toured nationwide and participated in print media and television programs to support the new release, but countless member replacements seemed to have damaged the life of Bellzlleb throughout the life of the band as to portray how they were haunted as a group. Bellzlleb disbanded because Tetsu knew they could not have continued to produce a better sound than they currently had. Kuroyume opened for Bellzlleb on their last gig in 1992 at Meguro Rock-May-Kan.

A Democratic senator has released 28 further confidential documents related to the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump's nominee for the US Supreme Court, despite threats of an ethics investigation.
The documents released by Cory Booker are from Mr Kavanaugh's time working in the White House for the administration of George W Bush.
They are marked "committee confidential" meaning although they were not classified, they were only to be seen by the Senate Judiciary Committee and not to be released to the public.
The new emails do not directly contradict the testimony Mr Kavanaugh provided to the US Senate earlier this month.
But Mr Booker claims the documents show Mr Kavanaugh misled the Senate Judiciary Committee over a decade ago, during confirmation hearings for his current position on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Mr Kavanaugh told the committee in 2006 he was not closely involved with Mr Bush's nomination of Charles Pickering to the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Mr Pickering was a controversial choice due to his record on civil rights.
The newly released emails show Mr Kavanaugh was in fact involved in the nomination process, according to The Hill.
"These documents suggest Judge Kavanaugh misled the Senate Judiciary Committee during his prior testimony," said Mr Booker.
Mr Booker previously released 12 documents purporting to tie Mr Kavanaugh to racial profiling, after declaring that he was prepared to break Senate rules.
Mr Booker has been criticised for releasing the documents by high ranking Senate Republicans who have warned that Booker could be investigated by the Senate Ethics Committee, according to The Hill, which also said a conservative group, Judicial Watch, has delivered a request for an investigation to the committee.


5E Enhancing "Storm King's Thunder"
Thread: Enhancing "Storm King's Thunder"
For discussing aspects of Storm King's Thunder and how to run it.
This thread WILL HAVE SPOILERS IN IT. Do not read if you're not going to run it.
I think this thread was a victim of the purge.
In any case I still want to talk about the module and improve it as I'm going to run it after Curse of Strahd I think. I really dig it, but you gotta make it your own. Let's do it!
SKT hasn't been getting much love so far. I think people must be pretty full up with adventures at the moment.
I agree that putting some thought into a lot of foreshadowing is key to really making the module pop.
Have giants say "The King is Dead!" a lot. Bring in Felgolos early, so players care about him later. Make less different dragons in general (maybe make the silver one in chapter one the same as the captured one later on). Bring in Old Snarl and the Dragon Cult's ship early on, have a seeming innocuous encounter with a fishy viking from the "Purple Rocks" etc.
I'm going to supply my players with a poster map. The 3rd edition one I think. So they can add to it.
You will want to get clear on your travel times. I did some internet research.

I hope this thread can be rebuilt. It contained some excellent ideas I wanted to use.
I, like many others, didn't particularly like the rapid advance from level 1 to level 5. My solution was to replace the dripping caves with a much longer and robust adventure that would give the PCs a much meatier experience that feels like a more traditional pace of level advancement. Originally I was going to replace them with Caves of Chaos, but instead I'm going with Horror on the Hill. Both are easily drag and dropped into SKT, and all I really have to do is place the SKT NPCs into the modules. Easy peasy.
I agree about the super fast leveling. It was weird when I played it at a con. I'm going the opposite direction and starting characters at a much higher level, continuing my campaign.
Horror on the Hill? I think I had that as part of the "In Search of Adventure" compilation. If I remember the Halls of the Hobgoblin King lie beneath?
Yep. Part of the B series. Really, most of those adventures would be easy to use. In this case, with B5 HotH, all I have to do is say the Nightstone villagers fled to an old monastery a few miles away in the hills to avoid the giant attack. And all the NPC prisoners in the original adventure are replaced with the SKT NPCs. It pretty much writes itself In fact, I think I'm gonna skip the orc attack on Nightstone altogether. That never felt right to me either, especially if the elves come to the rescue and just leave. I've never been a fan of "no matter what the protagonists do, they will be rescued!" trope, even if it's highly used (Gandalf, etc).
Sorry dude. It's pasted from a google doc. It comes in black, then I recolored it. Does it not show up on the white background version? This forum is weird.
Yeah, I would change the orcs part of Nightstone as well. I like the idea of the elves showing up to help against the orcs, then reluctantly asking for help against orcs in the forest. You could make those orcs hobgoblins, or make the HotH hobs into orcs.
The worry for me with old dungeons is that they are so big and take so long. By the time you get out, the players forgot what was going on in the campaign.

Prosecutions under the OHSA: Aggravating and Mitigating Factors
Posted on:	 October 24, 2017	 Last updated on:	 December 17, 2018	 Written by:	Guest Writer	Categorized in:	Courses Tagged as:	Compliance Legislation
While the significant monetary and other penalties associated with breaching the Occupational Health and Safety Act (the "OHSA") are well publicized, substantially less coverage is dedicated to the process by which a Court determines the appropriateness of a penalty for a given defendant. This article discusses the ins and outs of the balancing process engaged in by the Courts in these circumstances, including an overview of mitigating and aggravating factors which affect the severity of a sentence.
(i) Relevant Provisions of the OHSA
The penalty provisions of the OHSA can be found at section 66:
66. (1) Every person who contravenes or fails to comply with,
(a) a provision of this Act or the regulations;
(b) an order or requirement of an inspector or a Director; or
(c) an order of the Minister,
is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not more than $25,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than twelve months, or to both.
(2) If a corporation is convicted of an offence under subsection (1), the maximum fine that may be imposed upon the corporation is $500,000 and not as provided therein.
The foregoing language provides a decision maker with substantial discretion to determine an appropriate sentence in any given case. Since the OHSA is silent on the issue of how to determine a defendant's sentence in the event of a breach, Courts and decision makers turn to leading principles established by common law cases relating to this subject.
(ii) Common Law Principles
The leading common law decision on sentencing under the OHSA is R v Cotton Felts Ltd, [1982] 01 No 178 (Ont CA) ("Cotton Felts"). Although the Ontario Court of Appeal's decision in Cotton Felts is now over two (2) decades old, Crown prosecutors in Ontario continue to cite it as a leading authority when negotiating plea bargains with defendants, and when making submissions to the Court on the appropriateness of a particular sentence.
In Cotton Felts, a worker lost his arm when it was caught in a roller and pulled into a machine, resulting in his arm being amputated below the elbow. The worker had failed to stop the machine before he attempted to clean it. Before this incident occurred, the employee had previously injured his thumb while working on a similar machine, which had also been operational while he was cleaning it.
An inspection by the Ministry of Labour (then the Department of Labour) resulted in fifty (50) work orders being issued against the employer, relating to the rectification of unsafe working conditions. The company was also charged under the OHSA's Regulations, which provided that a machine could only be cleaned when any motion that would endanger a worker had stopped.
At trial, it was shown that management knew the machines were being cleaned without being turned off. The company subsequently pleaded guilty to the charges under the OHSA, and sentencing was adjourned to allow the company time to demonstrate that it could improve its health and safety at the plant. The company subsequently spent over $100,000 on health and safety improvements.
Upon returning to Court for sentencing, the Crown prosecutor recommended a fine in the range of $2,000-$3,000, while the company requested a more modest penalty because of its significant expenditures and "demonstrated" commitment to health and safety. However, the Court ignored both submissions, instead imposing a fine of $20,000 on the company. The Court emphasized the importance of "general deterrence". At that time, the fine issued against the employer was significantly higher than other fines imposed for similar offences. The maximum fine permitted by the OHSA at that time was $25,000.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal upheld the trial judge's sentencing decision, noting the importance of enforcing regulatory standards by general deterrence. The Court of Appeal confirmed that the amount of any penalty under the OHSA would be determined by a variety of considerations, including:
The size of the company involved;
The scope of the economic activity at issue;
The extent of actual and potential harm to the public;
The maximum penalty prescribed by statute.
The Court also emphasized that each case would have to be decided on its own merits, stating:
[…] without being harsh, the fine must be substantial enough to warn others that the offence will not be tolerated. It must not appear to be a mere license fee for illegal activity.
Subsequent case law under the OHSA has led to the identification and development of additional mitigating factors. Courts today will typically also consider:
The past health and safety record of the defendant individual / company (including previous convictions);
Demonstrated remorse;
Post-accident remedial actions which go "above and beyond" a Ministry of Labour Inspector's order(s);
A defendant's willingness to take educational courses on safety;
By contrast to the foregoing considerations, common law jurisprudence under the OHSA has identified "aggravating factors" which are likely to increase the likelihood and severity of a penalty. Such aggravating factors include:
Previous record of convictions;
Continued instances of reckless or negligent behaviour;
Difficult or uncooperative attitude toward the Ministry of Labour, its Inspectors, or the Crown;
Lack of remorse;
Deliberate or willful disregard of Ministry of Labour Inspectors' orders;
If the offence possesses quasi-criminal elements.
(iii) Recent Case Law
In R v New Mex Canada Inc, 2017 ONCJ 626 (CanLII) a decision recently issued by the Ontario Court of Justice, the Crown pursued a jail sentence against two (2) directors of a warehousing company when a worker fell to his death. The deceased employee was not protected by any of the requisite safeguards and harnesses required by the OHSA and its Regulations.
At trial, both directors of the defendant employer were sentenced to twenty-five (25) days in jail, while the corporation was fined a total of $125,000. Interestingly, the trial judge's award permitted the directors to serve their sentences over a series of weekends, an arrangement that appears to be common in sentences of this type and duration.
The corporate defendant and both directors appealed their sentences, under section 116(1)(d) of the Provincial Offences Act, to the Ontario Court of Justice. The defendants sought a reduction in each the aforesaid sentences, arguing, inter alia, that the trial judge had failed to consider the defendants' various mitigating factors before determining the appropriate sentence.
In its decision, the Ontario Court of Justice confirmed the Court of Appeal's approach in Cotton Felts, stating that a strong fine was necessary and appropriate to deter both the actual defendant and the community generally from risking the health and safety of workers. That being said, the Ontario Court of Justice also confirmed that a strong fine would serve as a sufficient deterrent in respect of most convictions under the OHSA.
With respect to the issue of the jail time issued against the defendant directors, the Ontario Court of Justice held that incarceration for under the penalty provisions of the OHSA is to be treated as a "penalty of last resort". The Court went on to consider the following mitigating factors, finding that they supported the directors' argument against incarceration:
The directors had no prior convictions under the OHSA;
Their attitude toward the general health and safety of employees was initially inappropriate; however, they demonstrated genuine remorse after the incident, cooperated with the Ministry of Labour, and attempted to rectify health and safety deficiencies immediately.
As a result of the foregoing mitigating factors, the Court found that incarcerating the directors was "inappropriate" and excessive, finding instead that a significant fine would adequately serve the Crown's purpose of deterrence. The Ontario Court of Justice varied the trial judge's order, issuing the following direction:
The fine against the corporate defendant was reduced to $50,000;
The prison sentences issued against the directors were rescinded and substituted for individual fines of $15,000 respectively.
(iv) Comments and Concluding Remarks
Courts are required to consider all factors, both aggravating and mitigating, when determining the appropriateness of a sentence for any breach of the OHSA.
Mitigating and aggravating factors can result in significant increases, or decreases, of monetary fines against a corporate defendant. Corporate defendants must be aware that after an incident, the conduct and administration of a defendant employer's workplace will be closely scrutinized as part of the Court's sentencing analysis. Steps should be taken to avoid any further safety concerns at the workplace. Additionally, a defendant corporation that is facing prosecution under the OHSA is best advised to engage in honest, meaningful collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, its Inspectors, and the Crown, so as to reduce the likelihood and severity of monetary penalties.
With respect to individual defendants, our review of 2017 OHSA prosecutions confirms that jail sentences were issued in less than five (5) percent of cases. Imprisonment appears to be reserved for only the most egregious circumstances. Typically, such cases involve a serious workplace accident, coupled with other misconduct on the part of an individual defendant. Accordingly, in order to minimize the likelihood of a prison sentence, we recommend that individual defendants tread carefully, and avoid any sort of confrontation or dispute with the Ministry of Labour, its Inspectors, or the Crown.

Israel's space ambitions: Technion to launch first Tiny satellite formation
Israel's space ambitions goal is to prove that a group of satellites can fly in a controlled formation for one year orbiting at an altitude of 600 km
A group of three nanosatellites, which has been developed in recent years by a team of researchers at the Thechnion, will fly for the first time in controlled formation into space in late 2018.
The goal of the project is to prove that a group of satellites can fly in a controlled formation for one year while orbiting at an altitude of about 600 kilometers.
The launche will be made by Dutch company 'Innovative Solutions In Space', which specializes in launching nanosatellites on the Indian PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle).
The Adelis-SAMSON Project headed by Prof. Pini Gurfil, Director of the Asher Space Research Institute and member of the Technion Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, and with the support of the Adelis Foundation and the Israel Space Agency.
The satellites will be used for receiving signals from Earth and calculating the location of the source of transmission for search and rescue operations, remote sensing, and environmental monitoring.
The size of each of the satellites is 10X20X30 cm, about the size of a shoebox, and they weigh a total of around 8 kg. The satellites will be equipped with measuring devices, antennas, computer systems, control systems and navigation devices. The flight software and algorithms were developed in the Technion Distributed Space Systems Lab.
"Satellite miniaturization together with advanced Israeli technology will enable us to take Israel an important step forward in the field of nanosatellites," explained Prof. Gurfil. "The degree of innovation here can be compared to switching from a PC to a laptop and then to a mobile phone, which offers far more capabilities than its predecessors."
"The field of nanosatellites has developed significantly in recent years and the number of launches doubles annually," said Mr. Avi Blasberger, Director General of the Israel Space Agency. "The development and launch costs of such satellites are significantly lower than those of conventional satellites. In the near future, we can expect networks of thousands of nanosatellites that will fly above the Earth and enable high-speed Internet communication at significantly lower cost than today."
The satellite's unique technology is all "blue and white": Rafael's krypton gas-based propulsion system will be the first system in the world to power a tiny satellite. The digital receiver was developed by Elta and the guidance control system was developed at Israel Aerospace Industries MABAT plant in cooperation with researchers from Technion.
In addition to the propulsion system, the satellites will accumulate energy through solar panels that will extend from the sides of each satellite and serve as wings that will control the flight formation without the use of fuel, by means of air resistance in the atmosphere.
Each of the nanosatellites will be equipped with a digital signal receiver, one of the most complex receivers ever designed for a nanosatellite.
The satellite information processing system and the algorithms that control the formation will be the first of their kind in the world and will support the autonomous operation of several satellites together. The communications and navigation system will include two GPS receivers to be used for autonomous navigation and a communications system to be used by the three nanosatellites in order to communicate with one another and with the ground station – a significant challenge that has been solved in the current project. A dedicated frequency will be used for sending data to Earth via broadband.
"If we manage to prove in space that flying in formation is possible," said Prof. Gurfil, "it will be a major boost for the development of small satellites and technologies related to the miniaturization of electronic components, for efficient space processing and for space propulsion systems. The technologies developed in the nanosatellites will contribute to a variety of civilian applications and will promote Israel's aerospace industry."

Prohibiting Bribes
Prohibiting Bribery and Corruption
Basic Policy and Management Structure
Thoroughly Implementing Compliance Guidelines for Preventing Bribery of Public Officials, Etc.
Help-Line System
With the progress of a global economy, demand for anti-corruption is increasing while regulations are being tightened not only domestically but also in international business. Daikin has established its policy on "Free Competition and Fair Trading," "Practicing Moderation in Entertainment and Gift Exchanges," and "Maintaining a Firm Attitude against Anti-social Activities" in its Group Conduct Guidelines. The legal department spearheads the prevention of corruption and bribery under the supervision of the Executive Officer in charge of Corporate Ethics and Compliance.
At each division and our principal Group companies in Japan and abroad, we confirm compliance with internal rules and guidelines using self assessments*. Based on the results, each company plans and implements their own countermeasures.
Each company reports and shares the status of these initiatives with the Corporate Ethics and Risk Management Committee, with the results reported to the Internal Control Committee chaired by the President and CEO. Furthermore, the Company's risk response is reported to the Board of Directors.
A unique system developed by Daikin where individual employees check their own actions pursuant to the Group Conduct Guidelines. Self assessments are conducted every year, based on which the issues of each organization are identified and compliance countermeasures taken.
Group Conduct Guidelines
2.Free Competition and Fair Trading
We shall observe all applicable laws and regulations relating to fair competition and fair trade of each country and region, including antimonopoly laws. Furthermore, we shall conduct fair sales and procurement activities based on proper corporate ethics and in accordance with sound business practices and social norms.
Specific Guidelines
Observance of the Anti-Monopoly Act
To ensure free competition, we shall not enter into agreements with our competitors in any country to predetermine pricing, production and sales quantity, production and sales models, business partners, sales territory, date of product launch, or similar anti-competitive action.
In the case of tendered bids and quotations, we shall not enter into any agreements with our competitors to predetermine bid price or bid recipient.
We shall not set the resale prices of Daikin products sold by dealers, nor shall we set the listed price in promotional campaigns or in retail stores.
We shall not unfairly inhibit our dealers from selling other companies' products, nor shall we restrict their sales territories, sales routes, purchase routes, or take any similar action in violation of the Anti-Monopoly Act or other fair-trade laws.
Observance of Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations
When indicating quality, performance, place or origin, terms and conditions and other matters related to our products and services, we shall use accurate and appropriate expressions to ensure that our products and services are not misrepresented to our customers.
Any and all premiums (giveaways, discounts, etc.) given in connection with our sales transactions shall fully comply with the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations.
Strict Observance of Procurement Rules and the Subcontract Act
When selecting suppliers, we shall widely open our door to companies worldwide to provide fair and equal business opportunities. In addition, we shall grow together with our suppliers, maintaining friendly yet tense competitive relations so that we can develop our business together with our suppliers.
We shall promote the understanding and cooperation of our suppliers in our Group to strive together in legal compliance, respect for human rights, preservation of the environment, and contribution to the development of a sustainable society.
We shall strictly observe the Subcontract Act (Act against Delay in Payment of Subcontract Proceeds, Etc. to Subcontractors) in regard to transactions with our suppliers as we follow sound business and work to protect our business partners.
13. Practicing Moderation in Entertainment and Gift Exchanges
We shall exercise moderation and perform within the acceptable range of social norms and obey the laws and regulations of each country and region in regards to entertainment, the exchange of presents, and invitations relating to the development of our global business. In particular, we shall not entertain, provide gifts of monetary value to, or extend invitations to public officials in Japan or abroad that violate the applicable laws and regulations in each respective country and region.
Maintaining sound and transparent relationships with government and municipal offices
We shall not provide entertainment, the exchange of presents, or invitations to any public servants in government offices in accordance to such laws as the National Public Service Ethics Act.
In the expansion of global business, we shall not provide entertainment, the exchange of presents, or invitations to any public servants in overseas government offices that are prohibited by national or regional laws and regulations.
Practicing moderation in entertainment and gift exchanges with business partners
In regard to entertainment, the exchange of gifts, and invitations for customers or business partners, we shall comply with the laws and regulations relating to each country and region and seek moderation appropriate to the standards of society in maintaining sound business practices.
14.Maintaining a Firm Attitude against Anti-social Activities
We shall take a firm attitude against anti-social force or organization that threatens the safety and order of the citizens of society.
Prohibiting the giving of material benefits to any person regarding the exercise of shareholders'rights
We shall not give material benefits to any person regarding the exercise of shareholder's rights.
Prohibiting dealings with anti-social forces and organizations
We shall have no dealings that serve as supporting or providing illegal profit to any anti-social forces or organizations.
We shall not enlist the support of anti-social forces or organizations in pursuit of business activities.
Instituting zero tolerance of anti-social forces and organizations
We shall not meet any unjustified or unreasonable demands of any criminal groups or organizations.
If contacted by an anti-social force or organization, we shall handle the matter on an organizational basis, not an individual basis. Moreover, we shall regularly work to build a specific link between law enforcement officers and outside specialists such as lawyers, and in the case of an emergency we shall take appropriate measures through both civil and criminal legal channels in cooperation with outside specialists.
We created our Compliance Guidelines for Preventing Bribery of Public Officials, Etc., which give detailed directives related to entertaining, gift exchanges, and invitations for government officials. These guidelines are being strictly implemented throughout the Daikin Group. These guidelines are always applied to companies that newly join the Daikin Group through M&A in an effort to prevent wrongdoing with regards to the guidelines Groupwide.
The guidelines stipulate policies in areas such as entertainment, gift exchanges, and invitations for public officials, and outsourcing to third parties. The goal is to have standards and approval processes regarding dining and other interactions with public officials and others. The guidelines are also for preventing the dispersion of profit indirectly to public officials and others via third parties such as by hiring dealers, agents, or consultants. To this end, third party business partners are selected through a strict screening and are required to sign a contract covering anticorruption. When there are questions regarding interpretation and application of laws, we have a consultation hotline in the legal department, which we constantly encourage concerned parties to make use of.
We confirm compliance with the guidelines by conducting self assessments*. Any compliance problems found and their countermeasures are shared by reporting them to the Corporate Ethics and Risk Management Committee.
Daikin holds training for managers and employees so that each and every one is knowledgeable and thoroughly aware of compliance with laws and company regulations. The training is conducted to ensure that employees obey rules on sound and transparent relations with government offices, are compliant with the Political Funds Control Law and the Public Offices Election Act, and conduct entertainment and gift exchanges with business partners in moderation. Since the Compliance Guidelines for Preventing Bribery of Public Officials, Etc. were introduced, we have striven to ensure they are familiar to all employees by holding briefings for each division and group company around the world and providing e-learning for all employees of Daikin Industries, Ltd.
For employees of divisions and group companies in frequent contact with public officials, members of our legal department visit and lead periodic educational sessions.
Since formulating the Compliance Guidelines for Preventing Bribery of Public Officials, Etc., we have carried out audits in divisions and group companies that do business in countries and regions where corruption is prevalent to ensure that bribes are not occurring. Guideline-related issues discovered during the audits are dealt with by creating solutions in collaboration with relevant divisions and groups, and these are reported to the Board of Directors and the Internal Control Committee. In addition, issues and successful countermeasures are shared via the Corporate Ethics and Risk Management Committee and Global Legal and Compliance Meetings attended by compliance and risk management leaders in each worldwide region.
"Compliance Efforts" (Compliance)

Daikin Industries, Ltd. has a Help-Line for Corporate Ethics, through which employees can give opinions or receive consultation on all corporate ethics matters, including bribe-related issues.

Ubud is Bali's central upland destination known for its relaxing ambience and quiet, traditional atmosphere, this upland village community has several corners that prove there can be bit of life in Ubud after dark, and more to see beyond the rice terraces and temples. Although none of the venues may parallel the bars and nightclubs on Bali's south, a few cater to night owls with a more easygoing scene and casual gatherings.
While the Puri Saren Royal Palace is a great place to enjoy cultural night performances with its traditional dances, modern nightlife with live music can be had at several of the best spots around Ubud. For those wanting to get out of their quiet villas and bungalows and enjoy a night out, here is our selection of best bars and evening hotspots in Ubud.
CP Lounge is located halfway up from the Jalan Monkey Forest Road, and features a dining and entertainment complex owned and run by a royal Ubud family member, who also occasionally serves as the venue's fun-spirited host. A small thatched-roof stage with live bands – who play almost anything – separates the spacious garden lounge and its bar that serves a great selection of martinis and cocktails. Its semi-open entertainment hall is reminiscent of a grand Balinese meeting pavilion and houses billiards and a makeshift dance floor. Be it outside under the stars or in a cosy subtly-lit corner, scenes and seating choices abound. You can enjoy good food with its selection of tapas, grilled steaks, mix of Mediterranean, western and local dishes, including pizzas and pastas, then dance away to the tunes provided by the band and live DJs.
The Melting Pot Saloon is Bali's own Western style saloon. Here you can challenge your friends at pool tables, electronic dart boards, ping pong tables, or at table football, and enjoy beers, pizzas and delicious Tex-Mex. A gathering spot for everyone from all over the globe, it has a full wall over the bar covered in flags of every nation where you can climb up a ladder and feel free to sign your name on. The owner also initiated Ubud's annual Great Texas Chilli Cook-Offs where a large group of amateur and professional cooks in an open-air kitchen battle on its spacious front parking space, to present the best Texas style spicy chilli while pleasing the judges and the crowd with their flair. On regular evenings, expect great old classic American rock tunes or live international sports feeds on big screens. There's 8-ball competitions on Tuesday nights, and 10-ball on Fridays.
Bunute is located on Jalan Dewi Sri, just up north from the Monkey Forest and at a large tree landmark – a type of large fig tree called 'bunut' in the local tongue. The restaurant presents a twist in introducing authentic, original Balinese cuisine to the international dining audience, with signature dishes passionately prepared with exotic flavours. Among the must-tries is nasi panggang banana-leaf-wrapped and grilled rice, served with shrimp, vegetables, chicken and spices. Following nightfall, the venue presents live music performances featuring the famous local Moko Blues band every Saturday, with jam sessions from 20:00 to 23:00. Also, Reggae Nights are featured every Thursday featuring Bingo and Griya Faria, who each play twice a month at Bunute.
Bar Luna is the sister venue of the famous Casa Luna restaurant enterprises, located in the basement of Casa Luna on Jalan Raya Ubud. Brainchild of the creator of the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, the Bar Luna Literary Club has become a gathering event and place for hipsters, featuring local and visiting authors from all over the world to its Tuesday and Thursday literary nights. The events often feature live music performed by local musicians. The charming and cosy, Bohemian-style cafe presents an eclectic menu of Balinese and international dishes. Look out for their happy hours with two-for-one cocktails nightly from 17:00 – 19:00 for a great deal.

Feel Good Fitness
This month Fitness that makes you feel good, we're honouring the movement that drives you — and debunking the idea that you have to look a specific way while doing it.
At the age of three, I was a gym rat.
Growing up with a single mother meant accompanying her everywhere — to work, hair appointments, choir rehearsals, and, yes, even the gym.
My mother worked for a utility business during the day and taught aerobics at night. Teaching those classes was her passion — it was the thing she most looked forward to, her go-to stress reliever, and the place she felt most at ease.
I went to the gym's child care centre by default. I have great recollections of crafts with the teens who supervised me as young as lycra leotards and leg warmers, and of passing the time by watching racquetball matches with my nose pushed against the glass of the courts.
Fitness has always been a part of our lives, as far back as I can remember. It was more than a pastime, a habit, or an obligation; it was a way of life for us. That lesson was a gift in and of itself. See more
Leaving the mirror in the room
Furthermore, my mother's fitness journey taught me that true fitness is found when you just look in the mirror at one thing: your smile.
My mother, believe it or not, was once a Shape Magazine success story after losing a significant amount of weight. But, as it often does for so many of us, losing weight for the goal of appearing a specific way proved tough to maintain over time.
My mother didn't think she looked like an aerobics instructor in the 1980s, which I know she struggled with. She didn't consider herself to be the pinnacle of fitness and was always afraid of being judged for it.
My recollection, on the other hand, recalls something different. People who took her classes admired her enthusiasm, energy, and musical taste. They admired her friendliness and acceptance of everyone who entered the room.
They continued to attend her classes because of the positive atmosphere and community she fostered. You could see my mum was having a great time teaching those classes.
It wasn't about looking "the part" that motivated her — or others she trained — to get into shape. It was her joy, rather.
Making fitness a lifestyle
My fitness path as an adult has taken unexpected turns that I could never have predicted. While a knee injury kept me from pursuing a career as a professional dancer, it led me to the Pilates studio, where I discovered a new love – first as a rehab client, then as a student, then as an instructor, and finally as a master trainer.
It's always struck me as odd that my work path followed in the footsteps of my mother's passion – it's obviously not a coincidence.
As a participant, trainer, and editor, I've tried a variety of fitness regimens throughout the years. I've learnt over and over again that if you don't love what you're doing, you won't do it. And the only way to ensure you'll continue with it is to create a lifestyle centred on healthy movement.
The best fitness is the fitness that makes you feel happy.
We wanted to focus on more than simply the advantages of exercise this month as we examine the concept of feel good fitness, while there are many. We all know that being healthy makes us happy, but happiness is also a determinant of fitness.
I believe that moving in a way that feels good to your body is the ideal exercise for you since you'll crave it and want to do it again and again. Rather than forcing a habit to form, the habit will emerge on its own.
With that in mind, this month we look at the benefits of non-gym activities including dance, hiking, and tai chi, as well as physical therapist Marcy Crouch's passion for horseback riding. Read more
Traditional HIIT, cycling, and yoga courses, on the other hand, provide huge advantages to your body, mind, and spirit.
Everyone benefits from exercise, regardless of their appearance. To that purpose, we're putting a twist on the typical #fitspo imagery. People that show that fitness is for everyone, regardless of size, race, age, or ability, inspire us.
Fitness is a state of mind, not a physical appearance. It's a way of life, and when we accept it as such, we allow ourselves to take rest days, exercise whenever and wherever we can, and appreciate our bodies for what they can do.
There's a technique to exercise that will make you feel happy no matter where you are or how much money you have. That is the key to unlocking all of the benefits that exercise has to offer.
Here's to discovering delight in movement. May it serve as a reminder of the potential and strength that we all possess.


We had a FANTASTIC challenge last week with lots of beautiful entries. We thank each and every one of you for sharing with us the talents God has given you. It's always a tremendous blessing to have you play along with us, and we praise God for each of you.
Our word art for this week is James 4:10 and it reminds us of the importance of being humble. You may have noticed that the people we tend to be most attracted to are those who are humble. Seeing arrogance and conceit simply isn't attractive or becoming in anyone. We are naturally drawn to people who are willing to admit their imperfections; as those who admit their shortcomings just seem to be more approachable. When we meet someone who thinks they know everything, won't admit when they're wrong, or who cannot take constructive criticisms without arguing, we're naturally turned off by them. You will also notice that these are the people who we don't want to spend much time with because they're argumentative and difficult. When we humble ourselves and admit that we're far less than perfect, we're really admitting our need for Jesus in our lives. Because He alone is perfect and holy, when we confess our faults before Him and to others, He is able to "lift us up"; meaning that He is able to let His attributes make up for those we are lacking. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, God's Word tells us that "His strength is made perfect in weakness." It is only when we are broken, and admitting that we need Him, that He is able to lift us up and make us whole. It's much better to accept the simple fact that we're far less than perfect, and that we need Jesus to help make us the best we can be. So, the next time you want to be lifted up and made whole, just let God know that you accept your faults, weakness and imperfections. He wants to lift you up and help you become everything your potential can bring; but first, you need to humble yourself in His sight.

Cambrai 1917
Masnieres and Marcoing
Battle Honour: Cambrai 1917
Masnieres and Marcoing, Nov 20-29, 1917
The battle of Cambrai began with high expectations because of the deployment unprecedented numbers of tanks en masse over terrain that was largely in its original state. Like so many earlier battles, it ended in disappointment and missed oportunities.
The Newfoundland involvement can be broken into two stages – first, the attack against the Hindenburg Line on 20 Nov., 1917, and second, a fighting withdrawal in the face of the massive German counterattack on Nov. 30.
The hard lesson learned from the battle was that the British plan did not adequately prepare for consolidation after its initial breathtaking success, and the over-extended troops were forced to give up most of their early gains.
(From Pilgrimage, with the kind permission of David Parsons)
The Battle of Cambrai was to be the great experiment with tanks. Previously, tanks had been used but in small numbers. This attack was to utilize nearly one hundred tanks.
The Germans were situated in a very strong position to which they had withdrawn the previous March. This was known as the HINDENBURG LINE, following the valley of the Escaut River, St. Quentin Canal, and the unfinished Canal du Nord. A line of trenches and wire over 3000 yards wide formed the first line of defence, and some 5000 yards behind this, was a second series of trenches. The use of large numbers of tanks was to be the key to success.
The 29th Division was held in Corps Reserve to move forward when the three Divisions ahead captured their objectives. The 29th Division would advance to the St. Quentin Canal and capture Marcoing, Masnieres, and Nine Wood. The plan was for the Division to cross the St. Quentin Canal, seize the second line and consolidate on this line while the Cavalry passed through to capture Cambrai.
THE ROYAL NEWFOUNDLAND REGIMENT reached Berles en Bois on Oct. 17,1917, to recuperate from the horrible conditions they had experienced at Ypres. As usual, fatigue parties had to help salvage material from the old German trenches that ran through this section. On Nov. 17, after an accelerated period of training, the Newfoundlanders left Berles, marching to Boisleux au Mont and then taking the train to Peronne. The next night, they marched to Moislain, near the Canal du Nord. At dusk, they moved forward to Sorelle Grand. To achieve surprise and avoid being observed by enemy aircraft, the troops marched by night and stayed in huts by day.
Cambrai Area
At 2:30 a.m., Nov. 20, 1917, the Newfoundlanders -17 officers and 536 other ranks, marched off to Gouzeaucourt. From there, they were directed by special piquets to their assembly point. At 6:30 A.M., the guns roared and the tanks clattered forward, followed by the infantry. At 8:30, the Regiment was in position in the trenches north of Villers Plouich, previously occupied by the 20th Division, who had advanced two and one-half miles to this point. At 10:00 a.m., they advanced behind the tanks.
Canal Attack
The 88th Brigade advanced in a diamond formation – the Essex Regt. in the lead, the Newfoundlanders on the left, and the Worcesters on the right, with the Hampshires in the rear. Each Battalion advanced in {the}same formation with A Company in the lead, D and C Companies on the flanks and B Company in the rear.
The route lay north east over Welsh Ridge, 4000 yards south of the Canal. There was little resistance as they crossed the first trenches of the Hindenburg Line. Some enfilade fire from machine gun nests was quickly dealt with though it slowed the advance and caused some casualties.
A battery of German guns held up the troops, knocking out three of the four tanks assigned to the Division. The fourth tank developed engine trouble, but the advance continued without support of the tanks after the guns had been captured.
Pockets of Germans in dugouts were captured. Finally, the open slope to the St. Quentin Canal, 1000 yards ahead, was reached. Marcoing to the left, and Masnieres to the right could be seen. The Regiment moved to Marcoing Copse closer to the canal, from whence they could launch the assault across it.
The lock which was to be crossed was 500 yards away. As Masnieres had not been captured, the Germans strengthened their defences and the approaches to the canal were well covered by machine gun fire and snipers. A tank came to the assistance of the Newfoundlanders, pounding the enemy on the north bank of the canal. This gave the Regiment the opportunity to race across the lock and secure a bridge head. Capt. Grant Patterson was awarded the Military Cross for leading the men across the canal.
They took shelter in buildings along the canal, preparatory to a sixty yard dash to the railway line running parallel to the canal. The area was covered by German machine gun fire. Several attempts resulted in casualties. Capt. Bert Butler charged forward with his men and reached the railway and were able to silence the machine gun. He was awarded the D.S.O. for this action.
The 87th Brigade had found Marcoing free of Germans and the 86th Brigade had taken Nine Wood and Noyelle beyond. However, Masnieres was not captured. A tank crossing the bridge crashed into the canal, preventing armoured support from assisting the attackers.
To Masnieres
The Newfoundlanders turned right to advance toward Masnieres, but were held up by persistent machine gun fire which was eliminated with difficulty. A second machine gun had to be silenced also. Gun fire from other sites took time to clear up during the rest of the day.
The situation at Masnieres was uncertain with the Worcesters advancing east of the collapsed bridge. As darkness fell, the Regiment went into a defensive flank on the outskirts of Masnieres, near the bridge. During the night, parties went out mopping up resistance, clearing most of the village of the enemy.
In preparation for an attack on Nov. 21, the Newfoundlanders moved along the canal to take up a position in a beet factory on the other side of Masnieres. A single shell landed amongst a group of soldiers moving along the canal. Ten men were killed and fifteen wounded. L/Cpl. John Shiwak, an Eskimo from Labrador, the leading sniper in the Regiment, was one of those killed.
The attack on Nov. 21 did not materialize as the troops were in no condition to participate, having been on the move since 2:00 A.M. the day before and there were no reserves close by. That night, the men descended into caves and tunnels under the village, undisturbed by shelling above. On the night of Nov. 22, the Regiment was relieved by the Middlesex Regiment, and marched back to Marcoing.
The cost of this attack was heavy. There were three officers and fifty other ranks killed, another officer died of wounds five days later, and six officers and one hundred and eighty-eight men were wounded.
Counter Attack
The German counter attack started on Nov. 30. Four British Divisions held a line from Marcoing to Epehy (three miles south of Gouzeaucourt). The main thrust of nine German Divisions would be a drive from the east, then a drive north to eliminate the salient the British attack had created.
The Newfoundland Regiment stayed at Marcoing for three days. On Nov. 23, the German guns started a continuous barrage on Marcoing and Masnieres. From Nov. 25 to 28, the battalion occupied trenches on the north side of the canal facing north toward the Beaurevoir line, then returning to the cellars of Marco- ing after an uneventful tour of front line duty.
On Nov.29, the Regiment was ordered forward to carry out relief at Masnieres. Early the next morning, heavy shelling of Marcoing foretold of an eminent attack. The two battalions of the 86th Brigade holding the line near Les Rues Vertes reported they were being engaged from Rumilly and Crevecour, and a battalion of the 20th Division to the south was falling back. At 10:00 A.M., an urgent message from Brigade instructed the C.O. to move the Newfoundlanders forward with the other battalions of the 88th Brigade. The heavy shelling prevented them from moving to their designated positions. Because of the shelling, the companies had to move to the assembly point near Marcoing Copse independently.
Bayonet Charge
As they approached Marcoing Copse, they were met by advancing Germans coming from the direction of Les Rues Vertes, trying to outflank the 29th Division. The Newfoundlanders deployed and attacked with bayonets, stemming the German advance. On their right, the Essex, and beyond them, the Worcesters and Hampshires extended the line south. By night, the four battalions assisted by the Kings Own Scottish Borderers of the 87th Brigade pushed the enemy back one mile. As night fell, they dug in on a line beginning from Les Rues Vertes running south.
For the next 24 hours, the 29th Division hung on to their rather precarious position. The Germans kept up machine gun and sniper fire exacting heavy casuaties. Further south, the Germans had pushed to the outskirts of Gouzeaucourt.
As darkness fell on Dec. 1, the 29th Division were at the tip of a dangerous salient, subjected to heavy bombardment and repeated infantry attacks. The exhausted battalions of the 86th Brigade dropped back and the other two Brigades pulled their flanks back to just east of the lock the Newfoundlanders had taken on Nov. 20. The following night, Dec. '2, the 87th Brigade was replaced by a Brigade of the 6th Division. The 88th Brigade was left with a diminished front of 2000 yards, south of the canal in front of Marcoing Copse. At the left flank, the N ewfoundlanders were dug in beside the lock. . .
On Dec. 3, the enemy started a crushing bombardment along the canal bank, followed by intensive and accurate mortar fire forcing the Regiment to withdraw to the west of the lock. Waves of Germans made repeated attacks on the front, but somehow the assaults were halted. That evening, the Hampshires came forward from reserve to relieve what was left of the Newfoundland battalion. They withdrew a one-half mile and rested as best they could in old German dugouts.
On Dec. 4, the Third Army was ordered to withdraw to a line through Flesquieres. This withdrawal was successfully executed, relinquishing the ground captured in the attack.
The 29th Division was the only division that did not collapse on Nov. 30. The initiative of the counter attack by the Newfoundlanders on Nov. 30 contributed to their success. The Battalion marched the seven miles to Etricourt on Dec. 5 where they boarded a train for Mondicourt, near Doullens. The trip was interrupted when shelling hit the engine, necessitating a move to another train. From Mondicourt they marched three miles to Humbercourt for two weeks rest and refit. On Dec. 18, the Regiment marched fourteen miles north over snowy roads to Boubers-sur-Canche. The next day, a twelve mile trek brought them to Le Parcq. Finally, on Dec. 20, they reached Fressin and good billets where they spent their fourth Christmas overseas.
The loses of officers and men had been heavy. From Nov. 30 to Dec. 4, there were over two hundred casualties.
'Royal' Honour
It was the early part of December, 1917, that the Governor of Newfoundland, Sir Charles Harris, was notified that His Majesty, the King had approved the title "ROYAL" for the Newfoundland Regiment. The Royal Newfoundland Regiment was the only regiment on which this honour was bestowed during the War, and only the third time that this honour had been given to a regiment in time of war. (The other times were in 1695 and in 1885).

8 Hidden Signs of Depression
Medically reviewed by Kendra Kubala, PsyD, Psychology — Written by Hilary I. Lebow — Updated on May 28, 2021
Sleep disruption
Diet changes
Forcing a smile
Changes in language
Cries for help
Intensified feelings
Less optimism
Chances are, someone you love is experiencing symptoms of depression — even if they don't show it.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 264 million people have depression worldwide.
Hidden depression, also called "smiling depression" or "concealed depression," is when someone works hard to conceal their symptoms and show the world that they're A-OK. They may appear to be high functioning at work and in social situations, but behind closed doors they live with the classic symptoms of depression.
Some may hide their symptoms because they don't want their loved ones to worry. Others may feel too embarrassed to ask for help or struggle with perfectionism. Some may also feel guilty or ashamed for struggling to begin with, which are both common emotions that go hand-in-hand with depression, according to research.
By getting familiar with the hidden signs of depression, you'll be prepared to support your loved ones and help them seek additional resources.
1. Sleeping too much, or too little
Is your friend or family member talking about how tired they are lately or how they have no energy? Do they have bags under their eyes or show other signs of sleep disturbance?
Depression is known to interfere with restful sleep. Research shows that it can prevent people from falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting out of bed in the morning. It's common for people with depression to sleep less — or even more — than usual.
2. Changes in diet and weight fluctuations
Research shows that depression may cause a change in appetite, due in part to an influx of the stress hormone cortisol in the system. Some people may have less of a desire to eat, since food no longer tastes good, or they aren't craving anything in particular.
For others, depression can manifest as craving foods that release feel-good neurotransmitters.
A meal high in sugar will nudge the brain to produce serotonin, also known as the "happiness hormone." In the moment, it produces a pleasant sensation, but research now suggests that high-sugar diets could make overall depression worse, leading to a tricky cycle.
These dietary changes can all contribute to weight loss, weight gain, or fluctuations between the two. If you notice a sudden change in someone's overall body composition, keep an eye out for additional symptoms of hidden depression.
Various research studies, including a 2020 review called "Low-hanging fruit for getting back on your feet," have found that a diet that contains more fruit, vegetables, fatty fish, and whole grains — along with fewer sweets, processed foods, and fried foods — can help with depression.
3. Drinking more alcohol
Drinking alcohol triggers the release of endorphins, a natural stress and pain reliever. This neurotransmitter is responsible for the same lift in mood we feel while exercising, having sex, or enjoying a good laugh with friends.
Hitting the bar for happy hour is a socially acceptable way to cope with stress, which makes underlying depression more difficult to spot.
A common sign of hidden depression is that someone may turn to drinking more often or increasing the amount of alcohol they consume in one sitting.
In fact, studies suggest that alcohol use disorder is one of the most common co-occurring conditions alongside depression, more often impacting women than men.
4. Forcing a 'happy face'
In some cases, the bigger the smile, the bigger the depression it hides. "Toxic positivity" is a buzzword as of late — and for good reason. An overly positive attitude, a perfectly manicured highlight reel on Instagram, or appearing cheerful in public may be a mask to cover up what's really going on.
If someone dismisses their own sadness or changes the subject, it could mean that they're uncomfortable expressing how they truly feel or they're in denial about their experience.
Listen for something that sounds like, "Yeah, I've been really down lately … but it's okay, I'm fine. Really. How are you doing?"
If you suspect a friend or family member has hidden depression, spend more time with them. It's difficult to hold up the mask of happiness all the time, and eventually little glimpses of their real feelings will poke through.
5. Changes in language and topics of conversation
Research shows that people with depression use more "I," "me," and self-focused words because they are in an introspective state most of the time. In addition, they use what are called "absolutist" terms, like "always" and "never," without a lot of gray area.
Depression also has a way of distorting thought patterns, which can lead to a different worldview. Findings indicate that those with depression have a more negative outlook. Listen for phrases with an air of pessimism, like "I can't" or "I should." You could also hear misplaced guilt, like "it's all my fault."
Someone you love may hint at suicide or bring up philosophical topics about the meaning of life, what it feels like to die, or the afterlife.
6. Crying for help, then taking it back
Those with hidden depression may struggle with a "vulnerability hangover." That is, sharing about what's really going on, only to later feel awkward, guilty, shameful, or generally unpleasant about letting someone get so close.
They may reveal dark thoughts and even call a therapist, only to back out of an appointment at the last minute and say, "Nevermind, I'm fine."
You might notice "oversharing" on social media, which is sharing posts that contain lots of personal information. They might show a pattern of sharing personal details online, then deleting the posts soon after.
This could be for any number of reasons, from not wanting to be a burden on loved ones or growing up in a culture where feelings were swept under the rug.
In any case, it's still a good idea to follow up with your loved one. Let them know that it's okay to be vulnerable, and that you still love them — no matter what.
7. Displaying intensified feelings
Depression is known to create sudden shifts in mood, including increased:
crying spells
Men are also more likely to experience irritability, aggression, and misplaced anger, while women carry feelings of sadness.
Someone with concealed depression may stray from their baseline of emotions. Maybe they're normally a calm driver, but now they're displaying road rage in traffic. Or perhaps you've never seen them cry at the movies, but now they're getting teary-eyed at commercials.
It can swing in the other direction as well. Maybe your loved one normally laughs out loud at a funny show, but now they seem "flat" or uninterested. These are all mood changes associated with masked depression.
8. Feeling less optimistic about life
In 1979, scientists documented a peculiar phenomenon called "depressed realism." Essentially, the theory is that those with depression have a more realistic view of the world, and their role in it, more than their non-depressed counterparts.
For someone with hidden depression, this may come out in conversation as a cynical comment about reality. You might hear something like, "It's not like any of this matters anyway, so who cares?"
While it may be true to some degree, it's also a deviation from the perspective of nondepressed individuals, who have "optimistic illusions." This means that when they experience something bad, they deem it as impermanent or insignificant, or assign a positive meaning to it. In others words, this is the rose-colored glasses effect.
While more recent studies have supported this theory, additional research is still needed to reach a consensus in the psychology community. Until then, be aware that a sudden change in someone's worldview could point to underlying depression.
How to help someone with hidden depression
If you believe that someone you love has hidden depression, you can help by offering emotional support and a safe place to talk about it. Share your observations in a nonjudgmental way and ask how you can be there for them.
Remember, depression can make small tasks feel impossible, so a little help can go a long way. For example, you may offer to take a morning walk with them, look online and help them find a therapist, or drive them to a nearby support group.
The SAMHSA National Helpline can be reached at 800-662-HELP. It's a free, confidential, 24/7/365 information service for treatment and referrals.
The Suicide Prevention Hotline at 800-273-8255 can also help you or your loved one talk to a trained crisis worker, any time of the day or night.
TalkSpace and BetterHelp offer online therapy services, so you can work with someone from the comfort of your own home.
There are a number of great blogs and podcasts for depression support as well:
Time to Change has a section for reading and sharing personal stories.
The Hardcore Self Help Podcast offers a twist on the typical self-help genre.
Heads Up Guys is for men who are struggling to open up about their feelings.
Depressed While Black provides Black-affirming support and advocacy.
The Hilarious World of Depression combines support with good humor.
Through all of this, be sure to find support for yourself as well. After all, you can't give from an empty cup. A therapist can help you navigate stress and point you to additional books, podcasts, forums, and resources. Remember, take it one day at a time.
