Emotional numbing in posttraumatic stress disorder: A functional magnetic resonance imaging study
Paul A. Frewen, David J.A. Dozois, Richard W.J. Neufeld, Richard D. Lane, Maria Densmore, Todd K. Stevens, Ruth A. Lanius
Objective: To explore the functional neural correlates of emotional numbing symptoms in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Method: The study was conducted between September 2006 and June 2008 at the University of Western Ontario. Women with (n = 14) and without (n = 16) PTSD (based on DSM-IV criteria) completed a standardized emotional imagery task while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging, in addition to an assessment for emotional numbing symptoms. The study design was correlational, with primary outcome measures being blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) response to emotional imagery task and self-reported severity of emotional numbing symptoms. Women without PTSD were not trauma exposed. Results: In women with PTSD, emotional numbing symptoms predicted less positive affect in response to positive-valence scripts (P < .05) and less BOLD response within the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex during imagery of positive and negative scripts that were explicitly socially relevant (P < .001). In contrast, in women without PTSD, emotional numbing symptoms, while unrelated to subjective emotional responses, predicted greater response within the ventromedial prefrontal cortex during positive and negative scripts, in addition to scripts that elicited fear anxiety by nonsocial means (all P values < .001). The findings could not be attributed to dysphoria. Conclusions: These findings are consistent with previous research regarding emotional numbing and emotional awareness. Less response within the medial prefrontal cortex during emotional imagery in individuals with high emotional numbing may indicate deficient conscious and reflective emotional processing. Further study is required to elucidate associations between state and trait emotional numbing and the neural correlates of psychological treatments specific to emotional numbing.

BrokerSense has developed a tool to query every residential lender on the market in one place, using customer financial information.
The application takes customer income and expenditure, and in under ten seconds returns the results from every lender in one easy to understand table and chart.
Mark and Stuart, BrokerSense founders, feel that there are three aspects to giving mortgage advice: sourcing, criteria and affordability. Sourcing has been well served in the industry, but only recently has criteria and affordability been tackled effectively. They believe that broker CRM systems are the lynchpin of the process, and their API makes it simple to include these results in alongside sourcing and customer fact finding. Reception from brokers has been outstanding and clients particularly appreciate the comprehensive spread of lenders, fast result, confidence through screenshots and low price point. Competitors have managed to get data from around half the lenders on the market but are doing so for a vastly higher price, charging £2.50 a search.
A BTL product is in testing currently and will be available to all in the coming months, which will factor top-slicing, and a client's portfolio, including a visual representation of their portfolio so brokers can see the effects of additional borrowing in real time rather than relying on spreadsheets.


M-Shwari has rapidly grown in the local market which has seen the bank seek to extend the services in other markets including Tanzania, where the telco partnered with Vodacom in launching M-Pawa. Early this year, CBA partnered with telco MTN in Uganda to launch a similar service called MoKash.
Mokash allows users to borrow from as low as UGX 3,000 (Kshs. 90) to a maximum of UGX 1,000,000 (Kshs. 30000) at an interest rate of 9%. Subscribers can also save on the service, earning interest rates of between 2-5% on their deposits. The minimum amount one can deposit is UGX 50 (Kshs. 1). The service has so far managed to lock in over 1.2 Million users in and processing more than 257,000 loans.
According to local paper Business Daily, Commercial Bank of Africa will be partnering with MTN in launching a similar service in Ivory Coast by Q3 2017. A similar service will also launch in Rwanda in April 2017, under a similar partnership between MTN and the bank. CBA plans to have the service operating in 10 African countries by 2020.
The plans by the bank point towards the general direction in which mobile devices are playing the primary role of financial inclusion. In addition, a partnership with a telco allows the bank to immediately access millions of users, without necessarily laying down physical infrastructure meaning they can easily offer their services on the go.

Former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers once described Ange Postecoglou as an 'outstanding' coach who reminded him of himself after the pair met during a pre-season tour.
Back in the summer of 2013, Rodgers was in charge of former club Liverpool, and he took the Reds on a summer trip Down Under to Australia, where he came face-to-face with the current frontrunner for the vacant Parkhead manager's job.
Eight years ago, Postecoglou was in charge Melbourne victory, and Rodgers couldn't help but be effusive in his praise after they discussed tactics and coaching methods with one another.
As reported by Fox Sports, Rodgers said of his opponent at the time: "Melbourne Victory is a very good side, I've got to say that their coach is outstanding.
"I've had a couple of chats with him and to see his team play, he's very similar to myself and he believes the game should be played in a certain way.

"You can see the team is very well coached, so we knew it was going to be a tough game for us."
Postecoglou has been heavily linked with the Celtic job since Friday when previous favourite for the role, Eddie Howe, backed out of the running.
As we've told you previously, some reports are even claiming Postecoglou has already agreed to succeed Neil Lennon, with an announcement due this week at some point.

How to get a shot editor, body editor app and a great way to get paid
Editor's strikeout.
In the latest instalment of this week's editorial series, we are introducing our editors strikeouts.
This week, we talk to editor Kate Smith, who has been editing since 2004, and has been working in the field for five years.
Kate is a great example of someone who has had a huge impact on the way we work in our field, and she is a model for everyone that is starting out in this industry.
In this episode of The Editor's Strikeout, Kate shares with us some of the things she has learnt from working in this field.
She also talks about her time editing in the United States, and how she was able to move on from that career path and become a full-time editor.
The first question you are going to get from Kate is: "What are you up to?"
If you have ever been a writer, editor, or editor, you have probably had that experience.
Kate tells us that when she started working in print, she did her research before deciding on a career path.
She had been reading books about editors and how they work, and it made her realise that this is what she wanted to do.
Kate then applied for the position and went into the editor training course, and started working for her own newspaper.
Kate says that this training helped her understand the role that she would be in, and that it made the transition from her first job into this one much easier.
Kate went from working with freelance reporters, to being a full time editor, and finally becoming a fulltime editor herself.
Kate has also taken part in some of our favourite jobs in the industry, like being a body editor.
Kate talks about the different jobs she has had in the business, and says that she really loves what she does.
"I really love my job, I love the people I work with and I love working with the people," she says.
Kate goes on to tell us about what it was like to work with some of Australia's best editors, and what they taught her during their training.
"When I started working at a newspaper, I was really nervous and nervous to be an editor, because I didn't know if I was ready for it.
Now that I'm an editor I feel like I'm in a different position.
But the editors taught me that you don't need to be in that position to succeed," Kate says.
"As long as you have a positive attitude and you work hard, you'll be fine."
Kate says it's great to be able to put her experience and expertise to good use.
"Every single editor who has taught me has really helped me improve as an editor," Kate explains.
"There's no doubt that it's helped me to grow as an author and an editor.
I'm very proud of my career, I think it has helped me as an individual."
In this week of The Editors Strikeout we want to hear from you about your experiences.
What are you struggling with right now?
Have you been struggling with an editor?
Do you think you would be able as an adult to work in this career?
Email your thoughts to [email protected]'sstrikeout.com.au.

'Best video editor for iOS' – Microsoft, Apple clash on iOS 12


On June 27th, I travelled to Creemore where I appeared at the Creemore Famers' Market from 10 a.m. to 12 and signed copies of A Taste of Canada. It was a beautiful day that attracted many visitors to the market, some of whom were old friends from my childhood because I grew up just a few miles away south of Duntroon. In the afternoon I moved to Curiosity House book store where I continued the autographing session. The whole day was a wonderful experience.

Home » Sievers a true warrior on and off the field
Sievers a true warrior on and off the field
When Todd Sievers lined up for a 53-yard field goal against Florida last Saturday the last thing on his mind was that he basically clinched the game for the Hurricanes. Well he almost did. Since the 1983 season, the Miami Hurricanes have won 92 percent of the time when they score first.
He was aware of the statistic – and he takes pride in it – but all he wanted to do was drill it through the uprights. Sievers did, and the 'Canes motored to its second win of the season against the Florida Gators in Gainesville 41-16. The senior gave the 'Canes the early lead and tallied 11 points overall.
"Miami is not the only place I have been a part of that secures wins when scoring first," Sievers said. "My high school carried this superior record as well."
Punter Freddy Capshaw was injured in Miami's opening game against Florida A&M, so Sievers acquired another job for his resume by replacing him for that game – and that game only.
"I do not practice punting, that's not what I do. But I'll do what I have to do to help my team," said Sievers.
Last season, Sievers was 0-1 from field goal attempts beyond 50 yards, and this season he is already 1-2. When asked if he did anything over the summer to work on his strength, he replied with confidence.
"No, I always knew I had the strength to kick that far. That never was a concern of mine. However I did concentrate hard on improving my accuracy."
Twenty-four out of the 50 previous meetings between Florida and Miami have been decided by a touchdown or less, yet Sievers kept his confidence high and the only pressure he felt was what he put on himself.
"I was not frustrated by my team, just a little bit concerned," Seivers said. "Florida came out with a bang, and they tested us right away. I realized that the combination of points I scored from two attempts could be outscored easily from one touchdown by the opposing team. Our offense seemed to be a little flat footed in the beginning."
Sievers is secure enough with his kicking to find the confidence within him, not through other players' faults. One reason for this might be that halfway through the 2000 season he was diagnosed with diabetes after undergoing tests because he was feeling ill following practices.
"I actually feel a lot better," he said. "I wake up and give myself a shot, as I do before every meal. I eat three healthy meals a day and I am just very conscious of my well being, which in fact, I feel has helped me become a better player in the long run."
Sievers has become a prominent spokesperson for diabetes and the reality has helped his perspective with his game – and his teammates.
"When another player misses a field goal, it doesn't make me feel more secure, it just makes me feel better about what I do. I think to myself that maybe people will appreciate us kickers more. Especially up in Gainesville where the kickers are walk-ons. They have to prove themselves to get a scholarship, whereas we were recruited."
For the third time in his career, Sievers won Big East Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against Florida. Included in that decision was the 53-yarder he made, five out of his eight kickoffs went for touchbacks and the remaining three were returned no further than the 30-yard line.
Sievers' 53-yard field goal tied for the second-longest kick in Big East history – fourth best in Miami history.
The Hurricanes will surely rely on the senior's strong leg for the rest of season, which he hopes will end with a second consecutive National Championship.
