Treatment of Parkinson's disease

By: A. Jon Stoessl, MD, FRCPC
Recently marketed new drugs for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and surgical procedures offer physicians further choices in how best to treat their patients. However, treatment does not simply consist of drug therapy or surgery, and other approaches such as rehabilitation and counseling services may be just as important. Other significant issues are when to start treatment and which treatments to choose. This article offers guidelines on how to treat patients at various stages of their disease.
Medication, surgery, counseling, therapy; here are guidelines for the many treatment options for Parkinson's disease.
The introduction to the Canadian market of three new drugs for the management of Parkinson's disease (PD) in the last 2 years (one of which has been withdrawn due to rare hepatic toxicity) has left practitioners with a confusing array of choices. Here are two basic principles:
• The treatment of PD is not entirely based on medication or surgery. Education, counseling, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, nutritional advice, and other treatment approaches may all be of considerable importance.
• Making a diagnosis of PD does not necessarily mean that medical therapy needs to be started immediately. There is no proven therapy to slow down disease progression and certainly no cure. Thus, treatment should be initiated when justified by symptoms. When to start will depend upon the particular needs of the individual.
Classes of medication
There are three broad classes of medication for the symptomatic management of Parkinson's disease. Anticholinergic medications were traditionally thought to restore the balance between dopamine and acetylcholine in the basal ganglia that is disrupted in PD.[1] However, these medications are also known to inhibit dopamine reuptake.[2] Although they may be effective for tremor, they are less beneficial for the poverty of movement, which is the major source of disability in PD, and their use may be complicated by cognitive side effects.
Most medications act to stimulate the release of dopamine from surviving nerve terminals (amantadine) or to replace dopamine. This can be accomplished in the form of a precursor (levodopa) or a synthetic dopamine receptor agonist. Finally, some medications act to inhibit the breakdown of levodopa (catechol-O-methyltransferase [COMT] inhibitors) or dopamine (COMT or monoamine oxidase [MAO] inhibitors). These will all be discussed with respect to their appropriate indications and are summarized in the Table.
The newly diagnosed patient
Therapy should be initiated when indicated by symptoms. Although the gold standard of treatment for PD is still levodopa combined with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor (carbidopa or benserazide), the long-term use of levodopa-containing preparations is associated with numerous complications, including fluctuations in motor function and the emergence of involuntary movements, collectively referred to as dyskinesias. These movements are distinct from the rhythmic rest tremor characteristic of PD, do not occur in people with an intact dopamine system despite significant doses of levodopa, and are much more likely to occur in younger patients. Recent evidence indicates that the emergence of dyskinesias can be significantly delayed and the primary symptoms of PD can be adequately treated by the use of a dopamine agonist alone (see below). Thus, in younger patients, the introduction of levodopa should be delayed and therapy should be initiated with an agonist or with amantadine. Levodopa should be added when dictated by symptoms. In older patients, the agonists may be less well tolerated and dyskinesias are less of an issue, so initiation of therapy with levodopa is still the preferred approach.
The benefits of amantadine were discovered fortuitously, when it was recognized that parkinsonian nursing home residents being treated for prevention of influenza experienced an improvement in their parkinsonism.[3] It has traditionally been thought that the primary mechanism of amantadine's action is the enhancement of dopamine release from surviving dopamine neurons. This may be the case, although dopamine release probably reflects amantadine's properties as a weak antagonist of excitatory amino acid (NMDA) receptors. Amantadine also has side effects reminiscent of anticholinergic medications and is prone to cause confusion in the elderly. As it is excreted almost unmetabolised by the kidneys, the dose must be appropriately adjusted in patients with reduced creatinine clearance. Amantadine provides modest reduction of parkinsonian symptoms when given as monotherapy, and its NMDA antagonist properties provide at least a theoretical framework for reducing the rate of disease progression (and its use is an independent predictor of prolonged survival in patients with PD).[4] Therefore it is an entirely legitimate choice for initiating treatment in the younger patient with PD, but probably best avoided in the elderly. Recent evidence indicates that it may be extremely useful as an adjunct to other therapies for the suppression of levodopa-induced dyskinesias.[5,6] In addition to dopaminergic side effects and confusion, it may cause peripheral edema and livedo reticularis.
The dopamine agonists
These compounds stimulate dopamine receptors directly. Unlike levodopa, they do not depend upon enzymatic conversion to an active agent, nor do they depend upon a saturable transport system for passage across the blood-brain barrier. The older agents are bromocriptine (Parlodel) (usual dose 15 mg to 40 mg/day) and pergolide (Permax) (usual dose 1.5 mg to 4.5 mg/day). These compounds are both ergot derivatives. In addition to the side effects that arise from dopaminergic stimulation (nausea, vomiting, postural hypotension, confusion, and hallucinations), use of these agents may rarely result in problems related to their ergot properties—a painful, red, vasculitic swelling of the legs (erythromelalgia) and pleural and pulmonary fibrosis. The two newer agonists pramipexole (Mirapex) and ropinirole (ReQuip) are not based on an ergot structure; while they cause the same dopaminergic side effects as bromocriptine and pergolide, they should be devoid of these latter two complications. Cabergoline (Dostinex) is another ergot compound with a long duration of action, but it is not available in North America.
Are the new agonists better than the old ones?
There has been relatively strong evidence supporting the use of the new agonists as monotherapy in patients with early PD. Both pramipexole (usual dose 1.5 mg to 4.5 mg/day) and ropinirole (usual dose 9 mg to 24 mg/day) are generally well tolerated and effective, and their use is associated with fewer dyskinesias than levodopa[7,8] and, at least in the case of pramipexole, a lower incidence of predictable fluctuations.[8] Furthermore, they are not subject to the possible development of erythromelalgia and pleural fibrosis. In contrast, it has traditionally been thought that the older, ergot-derived dopamine agonists may be less effective as monotherapy, although widely assumed that, like the new agents, they are less likely to induce dyskinesias than levodopa.[9,10] Two recent studies suggest that the older agonists may be more effective than previously thought. In a double-blind comparison of ropinirole versus bromocriptine monotherapy, while ropinirole somewhat outperformed bromocriptine in most measures, the differences were not significant and many patients were able to tolerate monotherapy without levodopa "rescue" for up to 3 years.[11] A very recently reported European multicentre study of pergolide monotherapy (not yet published) indicates that it, too, is effective as monotherapy for up to 3 years and similarly associated with fewer dyskinesias. Thus, while it is clearly preferable to have a variety of agents to choose from, as any given patient may do better with one drug than another, apart from the issue of ergot-related toxicity, it is not clear that the newer agents offer any consistent advantage over the older agonists.
Excessive daytime sleep
It is well recognized that PD may itself be associated with alterations in the sleep-wake cycle. Parkinson's patients may have interrupted sleep for a variety of reasons and may sleep excessively during daytime. In addition, virtually all the medications used for the treatment of PD may result in dose-related sedation. However, a recent report suggested that the new agonists might result in attacks of sudden sleep without warning.[12] This includes abrupt loss of awareness during activities such as driving. A recent survey of our clinic population suggests that this phenomenon is indeed more common than had previously been recognized, but following correction for age, disease duration, and medication dose, it is likely to affect patients treated with any antiparkinson medication equally.[13] Fortunately, the emergence of abrupt sleep attacks is likely to be predicted by the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness as measured on the Epworth scale. For the time being, however, government-mandated warnings on driving apply to the new agonists only.
The patient with established disease
In patients already on treatment who are doing well, there is no indication to change medications. If a patient on an immediate-release levodopa preparation develops either predictable dose-related fluctuations in motor function (end-of-dose deterioration or "wearing off") or peak-dose dyskinesias, he or she should be switched to a controlled release preparation of levodopa. The only such preparation available in Canada is Sinemet CR (levodopa and carbidopa), which has a lower bioavailability than the comparable immediate release preparations. Thus, the total daily dose of Sinemet CR should be 25% to 30% higher than that of an immediate release preparation in order to achieve equivalence. Because of strong theoretical evidence that pulsatile stimulation of dopamine receptors is a major factor contributing to the emergence of long-term motor complications,[14] some neurologists prefer to initiate therapy with a controlled release preparation, even before the emergence of fluctuations. However, a randomized controlled study comparing the two preparations found no significant difference in the incidence of motor complications, but a surprisingly low rate in both groups, possibly reflecting careful use.[15]
In patients with predictable dose-related fluctuations in motor function, the duration of benefit from each dose of levodopa can be prolonged using a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor.[16-18] Tolcapone was the only such agent available on the Canadian market and was withdrawn because of rare but sometimes fatal hepatic toxicity. A newer agent, entacapone, has a similar mechanism of action and results in similar benefit, but is thought to be devoid of hepatic toxicity; it was released on the U.S. market in October 1999 but is not yet available in Canada. Although these agents can be highly effective for the treatment of fluctuations, they can also potentiate dyskinesias, and their use may require a reduction in levodopa dose.
Dopamine agonists are an excellent choice as adjunctive therapy in patients with fluctuations or dyskinesias. These agents potentiate the effects of levodopa, have a longer duration of action, and are less likely to induce dyskinesias at an equivalent level of therapeutic benefit. Either the older or the newer agents can be used.
Several practice points should be remembered when using these drugs. They should be introduced slowly and the dose should be increased to effective levels in a gradual fashion, often over several weeks. During this time, it may be necessary to gradually reduce the dose of levodopa in order to minimize dyskinesias. Nausea, vomiting, and postural hypotension can be minimized by the use of domperidone (Motilium) (10 mg q.i.d. to 20 mg t.i.d.). It is commonly misconceived that dopamine agonists have failed, either because of intolerable side effects or because of inadequate benefit. This frequently results from either inappropriately rapid dose titration or from failure to prescribe an adequate dose.
Stereotactic surgery is generally helpful for patients who have responded to levodopa in the past, but whose response is now suboptimal, or particularly those who suffer from dose-limiting medication-induced dyskinesias. Surgery should not be regarded as a replacement for optimizing medication. Surgery is dealt with in detail in "Surgery for Parkinson's disease."
Autonomic dysfunction resulting in postural hypotension, urinary dysfunction, constipation, and sexual dysfunction are all relatively common in PD.
Psychiatric and cognitive problems are also common. While the basis for depression (primary neurochemical alterations or secondary reaction to living with a chronic illness) is still the source of some debate, antidepressant medications are typically helpful. Although there have been numerous anecdotal reports of extrapyramidal complications associated with the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors,[19,20] both controlled trials and abundant clinical experience suggest that these agents are usually well tolerated and effective in depressed patients with PD. Venlafaxine (Effexor), a serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake blocker, is also commonly used in our clinic. For refractory patients, electroconvulsive therapy may be extremely helpful and characteristically helps the motor manifestations of PD as well. Depression, anxiety, and psychosis in PD are covered in more detail in "Depression, anxiety, and psychosis in Parkinson's disease."
Psychosis is a somewhat less frequent but serious complication of therapy. Although demented patients with PD or those suffering from diffuse Lewy body disease are more prone to them, hallucinations, delusions, and inappropriate sexual aggression can occur in treated patients with normal cognition. The first step is to rule out any intercurrent illness, sleep deprivation, metabolic disturbance, and so on, that could act as a precipitant. Once this is done, antiparkinson medication should be reduced or withdrawn, beginning with those agents with the lowest therapeutic index. Thus, anticholinergics, selegiline, and amantadine should be withdrawn immediately. As it may take several days to see an improvement in the psychosis, one should wait before making further changes, if practical. Then, if necessary, the dose of dopamine agonist should be gradually reduced, followed by reductions in the dose of levodopa. Great caution is necessary in doing this, however, as there may be serious exacerbation of parkinsonian symptoms, including precipitation of a neuroleptic-malignant-like state. If the psychosis persists despite maximally tolerated reductions of antiparkinson medication, some thought should be given to cautious use of an atypical neuroleptic, such as clozapine (Clozaril)[21] or quetiapine (Seroquel).[22] Electroconvulsive therapy may be helpful in patients with a clear sensorium and intact cognition.
Other agents
As suggested above, anticholinergics no longer play a significant role in the treatment of PD because of their limited efficacy and their propensity to cause confusion and psychosis. They should be avoided entirely in those over 60, but may occasionally be helpful for the younger patient with tremor-predominant disease.
The selective monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor selegiline (Eldepryl) attracted considerable attention more than a decade ago when it was reported that its use delayed the requirement for levodopa by several months.[23] Following initial enthusiasm that this represented a neuroprotective effect, later assessment suggested that the benefit was largely symptomatic.[24] Although selegiline may be helpful in some patients with fluctuations in motor response, its use is also associated with dyskinesias and sleep disturbance, and sometimes with autonomic and psychiatric side effects. It is therefore much less widely used, particularly in view of the availability of other agents.
Drugs that interfere with excitatory amino acid transmission are already being tested to see if they may slow disease progression. In the future, a number of other compounds may be available, including neurotrophic agents, neuroimmunophilins, and inhibitors of apoptosis.

About the ICMJE and citation styles
The ICMJE is small group of editors of general medical journals who first met informally in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1978 to establish guidelines for the format of manuscripts submitted to their journals. The group became known as the Vancouver Group. Its requirements for manuscripts, including formats for bibliographic references developed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), were first published in 1979. The Vancouver Group expanded and evolved into the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), which meets annually. The ICMJE created the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals to help authors and editors create and distribute accurate, clear, easily accessible reports of biomedical studies.
An alternate version of ICMJE style is to additionally list the month an issue number, but since most journals use continuous pagination, the shorter form provides sufficient information to locate the reference. The NLM now lists all authors.
BCMJ standard citation style is a slight modification of the ICMJE/NLM style, as follows:
Only the first three authors are listed, followed by "et al."
There is no period after the journal name.
Page numbers are not abbreviated.

Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
Orwell: Ignorance is Strength
Meet the Orwell Team: Mathias Fischer
1 Comment / Company, Meet the Orwell Team / By Mel Taylor
One week after having released the last episode of Orwell "Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree", we are beyond happy that the complete game is finally out. The player feedback so far has been amazing and we are overjoyed about how many kind words, story analyses, soundtrack praises and inspirational quotes we have received so far.
Since all of this is not only thanks to our amazingly supportive players, but also to our wonderful team, we would like to continue our small series "Meet the Orwell Team".
Please meet: Mathias Fischer
Here is a short interview so that you can find out more about him and his work:
What are your favorite games?
I have a slight obsession with the game Xenogears, over-analyzing it for almost 10 years, although it's probably not as deep as I'm making it out to be. But still, a far beyond average Japanese RPG. Also, I'm heavily involved in old-school western RPGs like the Icewind Dale series and detective point-and-click, such as Gabriel Knight and Broken Sword. When it comes to outstanding experiences that do not fall into the former categories, then I can only think of "Disaster: Day of Crisis", by far the most consequent game ever created, a mix of a disaster-movie adaptation, the Rock, wii motion controls, every gameplay mechanic you can ever think of and giant hamburgers as medipacks. It plays exactly as this sounds like and I would recommend enjoying it with alcohol on the side and a wii-zapper.
Regarding everything else, I could prepare a 3-days-straight lecture of how superior and experimental the gameboy color and the bulk of its games exactly is or that Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is the most fun you can ever have in your life ever..:)
What kind of work did you contribute to Orwell?
I conceptualized the intro cinematic together with Daniel, Mel and Michael, which developed into creating concepts and storyboards. The following tasks were building and implementing the scene within Unreal 4, animating Characters (2D and 3D) and camera-direction / cutting within Unreal-Matinee.
Mathias did the artwork and animation for the cinematic opening scene at the beginning of Orwell.
Concept Artwork of the Freedom Plaza – An important reoccurring location.
What other projects are you currently working on?
Currently, I'm working as a freelance artist in Stockholm, Sweden for various companies.
Can you tell us more about awesome projects you have worked on in the past?
I spent almost half a decade as an artist with Daedalic Entertainment, helping to bring awesome point-and-click adventure games on their way. Games like "The Night of the Rabbit" and upcoming superstars like "The Devil's Men" and "State of Mind"..:)
1 thought on "Meet the Orwell Team: Mathias Fischer"
Thanks for such a great game! I loved everything from the graphic style, the story, and the characters

ISCO has told Real Madrid president Florentino Perez he wants to leave the club, according to reports in Spain.
The 23-year-old has featured heavily under manager Rafa Benitez this season but Spanish publication Fichajes claim he "wants a change of scenery" nonetheless.
If his request is granted, there will be a long line of suitors for the Spain international, with Arsenal and Chelsea expected to be at the front of the queue.
Previous reports in Spain claim Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has already ordered his board to make a move when the transfer window re-opens in January.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho was understood to have done the same in the summer but was unsuccessful in his approach.
Both clubs could see the news of his request a huge boost as they look to improve their squads in January.
However, whether or not Mourinho will still be in the Blues hot-seat remains to be seen, with the Portuguese under increasing pressure.
He has been particularly critical of his players so far this campaign and will no doubt be keen to bring in some new faces if he's still in the job.
After being spotted in Kiev earlier this month to watch Ukraine take on Spain, rumours started circulating about the players he might be scouting.
Meanwhile, Wenger signed just one player during the summer and may well go back into the transfer market.

← LAURIE PATTON. NBN: The Internet is for everyone
MARK TRIFFITT & TRAVERS McCLEOD. Stability will only be found through ideas and democratic renewal →
JOHN MENADUE. What the major parties ignored in the election?
The election seemed more about avoiding some key issues than a contest of values and ideas.
Because so many key issues such as refugees were avoided, it is not surprising that so many voters, about one third, turned their backs on the major parties. Some issues like the NBN were widely canvassed in social media but largely ignored in the public campaign.
Take a few key issues.
The obvious and most appalling absence from the public discussion was refugees and the plight of people that we have incarcerated on Manus and Nauru. They are concentration camps, run in our name. Malcolm Turnbull tried to run the boats issue for a while, but Bill Shorten clung to him so tenaciously that the public would not think there was any difference at all between the two parties on refugees.. And that is unfortunately true. The Minister for Immigration and Border Protection was hidden from sight after a major indiscretion. His shadow, Richard Marles, was unheard of during the whole campaign.
Last September, the Abbott government announced that we would take 12,000 refugees from Syria and Iraq. Most Australians were pleased and relieved by that decision but only about 200 have arrived because of a lack of ministerial will, departmental breakdown and fear of 'terrorists' who might slip through our intelligence screening. The Canadians have shown that if there is a will there is a way.
Our disgraceful treatment of and behaviour towards refugees was put in the 'too hard 'basket throughout the election. Let's not talk about it.
Foreign policy was scarcely discussed at all. Perhaps that is not so surprising as we really do not have any Australian foreign policy to speak of, or to be proud of. Our 'foreign policy' has been taken over by the defence, security and military clique led by the Department of Defence, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, and the Office of National Assessment. These institutions in turn are heavily dependent on the US Departments of Defence and State for advice and direction. Our Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has been emasculated and sidelined. ASIO and ASIS are generously funded but not DFAT. In ignoring the plight of the poor she allowed the ODA budget to be cut to shreds.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop, has perhaps accepted the inevitable reduced role for herself and DFAT and satisfies herself as the senior consular officer handling cases on behalf of Australians stranded or in trouble overseas.
Nowhere during the election was there any meaningful discussion about the future of our relations with the US and China and how we might build an architecture to minimize possible conflict. The Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs, Tanya Plibersek, was scarcely heard, at least publicly, on the central issues of our relationship with the US and building relations in the region. We all now march to the US military drum.
It is almost too awful to consider that we don't have an Australian foreign policy any more. If we do have one, hidden somewhere perhaps, we certainly didn't discuss it during the election.
Then there is a particular defence issue – the $50 billion we are spending on submarines in South Australia. South Australians are excited about this enormous build and economic benefit to the state. Coming after the demise of the auto industry that enthusiasm is understandable but there is likely to be great disappointment. It was not examined during the election.
With the subsidy of $500 million a year, not high by international standards, our auto industry employed directly and indirectly about 200,000 people, most of them in South Australia and Victoria. The Abbott government pushed the auto industry out the door. Yet the Turnbull government boasts that it will be spending $50 billion on the submarine build that will employ about 2,800 people in Australia; if we are lucky. That will be about $4 million for every job created. It is unsustainable nonsense.
But it is even worse. The strategic justification for this $50 billion spend is so that we can operate large conventional submarines in the South China Sea to contain and combat China. What stupidity! Even the US, it seems will not welcome our submarine participation in the South China Sea.
But is it in our interests to provoke China in this way at great risk, enormous cost and with doubtful benefits. The Germans offered a substantially lower price, $20 billion, with a much earlier delivery so that we would not have to upgrade the Collins class submarine, and at no cost penalty for building in Adelaide rather than in Germany.
Yet for fear of upsetting South Australian voters, both the government and the opposition decided to call a truce on this remarkable and wasteful decision which is unsustainable and will start unraveling after July 2. But almost by agreement the major parties decided not to debate this boondoggle of a deal.
Climate change is undoubtedly the most pressing issue of all. The government's 'direct action' plan was described some time ago by Malcolm Turnbull as a fig leaf to hide the fact that the coalition had no sensible policy to combat carbon pollution. Yet even though the ALP was pointing in the right direction on climate change, it seemed very reluctant to press its better policy. A truce was declared again.
And so on the NBN where the ALP policy of fibre-to-the-premises is much superior, it seemed unwilling, at least publicly to press its case. According to Twitter the NBN was the fifth most important issue for Twitter followers.
On the pressing issue of budget repair, a truce has been declared. In an uncertain world where economic and political shocks like GFC and Brexit do occur this truce will ensure that Australia is much more vulnerable in the years ahead.
On Medicare, I have no doubt that the coalition with its powerful backers, private health insurance funds, private hospitals and the AMA, will continue to promote changes that will eat away Medicare from within. The Coalition will maintain the shell, but the erosion from within will continue. The coalition and its key supporters have never really believed in a public single payer in healthcare. This was abundantly clear from the early days when Medibank/Medicare was launched. It has been opposed from that day on by the coalition and its vested interest supporters.
Medicare is under threat but the ALP would have been on stronger ground in explaining the real threat, the powerful private health insurance lobby, rather than possible changes to the payment system.
All in all, important issues were either ignored completely or touched upon so lightly that there was little adult contest of values and ideas.

1 Response to JOHN MENADUE. What the major parties ignored in the election?
Jaquix says:
The media blinded its readers with its constant barrage of content on popularity/personality. They are not doing their job properly. I found the National Press Club debates were excellent, some of the issues you raise were covered there, eg Foreign Affairs with Tanya Plibersek and Julie Bishop. The media was definitely biased towards Malcolm, seemingly mesmerised by his "charm". The ABC did so consistently. Not only content, but time allotted, and even the news presenters own bias showing through, obviously they have been given free reign. Its only post 2nd July that some honesty and proper scrutiny of policy is happening. Too late, she cried!

Ginny: What are some good ways to fight high blood pressure. I am taking three different medications. It will spike to 225/160. This has been going on forcloseto10 years. It started when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer which has spread to lymph nodes.
Aurelie: Dear Dr Cabral, i'm hoping you can comment on a problem Prevalent amongst females: cystitis or bladder infection. Once a year at most i find myself experiencing a painful episode of cystitis ( usually around summer holidays). I am conflicted about what to do: on one hand the pain is so excruciating that i beg my GP for a course of antibiotics. On the other hand by doing so,i wipe out my gut microbiome. How would you approach this situation?
Eliana: Hi, I suffer from extremely painful periods. My mom had endometriosis but I have been tested for it and do not have it. They could not give me many answers besides "get on birth control" which I am completely against. I treat my periods with herbs, exercise, homeopathy, etc and I constantly find something that helps for one or two cycles and then stops helping. The cramps are severe and some cycles I end up dry heaving or have nausea, back pain, and cramps. I also feel weakness/light headed when on my period. I am in search of all natural remedies that will continue to help. Thanks so much!!
Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your show! I wanted to get your thoughts on a product called Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum by Sunfiber. I've read it can be added to liquids and used in baking to increase the fiber content of foods. Thanks so much!!
Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've been eating a whole foods plant based diet for about a year and since cutting out meat and eggs (I've always avoided dairy) I've only had two periods. I've sought advice from two different naturopaths and they both told me that I should eat meat again to get my period back. I had blood work done as well as an ultrasound. I don't have PCOS and my blood sugar is normal. My thyroid levels are normal. My naturopath did diagnose me with "leaky gut" which I'm trying to heal, and low progesterone. Is it possible that I'm just not absorbing nutrients properly? Is the low progesterone due to lack of protein? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.

KAUDERS 2 Titles
KAUDERS
In Another Land Pt. II
GOD RECORDS
GODREC 052LP
Kauders on the release: "The second part of the In Another Land-trilogy can be considered as the indispensable conceptual antipode to Pt. I (GODREC 042LP, 2017). It's everything that Pt. I is not and vice versa. It's sculptural and it's not pursuing the idea of development, but it's neither static nor repetitive: The mostly short pieces, consisting of heavily treated snippets of recorded (electro-) acoustic instruments are circling around themselves, always aiming to show their core idea to the listener. The thing is the thing is the thing is the thing... just the perspective is changing."
In Another Land Pt. 1
Kauders on In Another Land Pt. 1 "In Another Land Pt. I is the first part of a planned trilogy. It is more or less electronic music, generated through long processes of editing and sampling. It's experimental in terms of that its shape and its meaning were not planned, were unclear during its creation and still now are not evident, but somehow hard to reveal. It is based on a strict concept, which could be very well explained, but the composer decided not to do. Instead of that, it is full of hints. It's not a riddle, it's just an invitation to listen closely and carefully. And an invitation to think, to reflect, or to imagine if you might hear something which is worth doing so. Probably this music heralds nothing." One-sided LP.

My last few entries in my Fashion & Italian Horror featured have focused on the work of Dario Argento and sought to explore how the Italian maestro's films use costume to emphasise ideas and concepts in his work. However, Argento's films are not indicative of giallo cinema and fashion on the whole. Whereas Argento's films arguably use costuming to build on ideas and concepts within his films, the majority of giallo films use fashion as a way of adding style and glamour to the on screen action. Alongside stylish camera work, lavish interiors and effortlessly cool soundtracks, fashion in giallo cinema is integral in giving the genre a distinctive look that still astounds and impresses forty odd years later. One film that perfectly captures this stylish approach to fashion on film is Giuliano Carnimeo's 1972 giallo The Case of the Bloody Iris.
The Case of the Bloody Iris perfectly showcases why the giallo film is synonymous with style and outlandish seventies fashion. Leading actress Edwige Fenech's captivating beauty and enviable body make her perfect for showcasing the absurd seventies fashions of the time. Hailing from London, Jennifer Lansbury (played by Miss Fenech) is the embodiment of British style wearing distinctive pieces and the latest fashions with a eccentric, quirky edge. The other ladies in the film embody different styles that are equally as stylish - Anabelle Incontrera as Sheila possesses a chic sensibility, flatmate Marilyn embodies a goofy approach to fashion that matches her questionable sense of humour whereas exotic dancer, Mizar wears exotic seventies styles that match her mysterious persona.
A firm fan favourite, The Case of the Bloody Iris, is regarded as a camp giallo classic and I would attribute some of that love to the stylish fashions in the film which up the campy, fun feel of the film. The Case of the Bloody Iris may feel, at times, rather low budget but, as always with giallo cinema, Carnimeo manages to elevate a simple murder mystery with a heavy injection of style. Unlike some other gialli of the time, The Case of the Bloody Iris featured rather dull interiors so the visual style is all in the wonderful camerawork and elaborate fashions featured. Costume designer, Silvio Laurenzi (who has styled many Italian horrors and gialli), perfectly captures the stylish, fun look of the time creating memorable looks for each member of the cast.
Laurenzi uses a distinctively seventies colour palette in the fashions throughout the film. Colours associated with the decade such as mustard yellow, variations of orange from burnt to tangerine, shades of brown and dark greens are all on display. The aforementioned colours are usually grouped together like green and brown, yellow and orange and yellow and brown. Despite the majority of outfits in the film being in this warm distinctly seventies colour palette, we also see mauves, lilacs, reds and blues in the film - in the outfit of our first victim, in Jennifer's second modelling outfit and her sailor inspired dress.
Colour Palette for The Case of the Bloody Iris (1972)
When I rewatched the film in order to write this piece, I was struck by how current some of the fashions in The Case of the Bloody Iris look. Currently, at the time of writing, it's Autumn 2015 and the seventies trend is in full swing for this season. Although some of the looks in the film wouldn't translate on the high streets of Britain too well today, many of the looks and key pieces in the film are currently lining up on the rails of major fashion retailers. Suede A-Line mini skirts, tailored waistcoats, turtlenecks, floppy hats and faux fur gilets are some of the fashions on display in this film that are currently key fashion trends. In many ways, this film is the perfect piece of inspiration for working out how to style these seventies inspired trends in suitably authentic ways something that I have done myself judging by the number of turtlenecks and a-line skirts that have crept into my wardrobe.
So let's kick off this fashion post by examining some of the key looks throughout the film and what they tell us about our main players.
Menswear as Womanswear
When I think of the menswear as womenswear I immediately think of Diane Keaton's distinctive androgynous style in Woody Allen's Annie Hall (1977) - a film that is lauded for its costume design and interpretation of this distinctive trend. However, five years prior to the release of Annie Hall, Carnimeo's ladies were wearing the look in an albeit, more feminine fashion than in Woody Allen's landmark film. Jennifer wears two menswear inspired outfits throughout the film and the mysterious Sheila also dons a masculine look in her final scene. In perhaps the most memorable look of the film, Edwige Fenech dons a pair of black corduroy flared trousers with a black dress shirt, large orange tie and black platform shoes. This look is then later paired with a black corduroy jacket with wide seventies style lapels and a man on the moon brooch in mustard. The menswear trend is repeated later on in the film when Jennifer wears a pinstripe shirt with a wide tie bringing a feminine element by pairing her look with a matching mini skirt.
In the context of the time, the rise of feminism may account for this trend in the fashions of the 1970s. As women became more autonomous they were able to behave in ways that were traditionally deemed as "masculine" from becoming sexually liberated to taking positions in traditionally masculine careers, women were making major strides in equality. In my opinion, this societal change manifested in various ways and the popularity of masculine style fashion in the seventies seems to be a by product of this as women began to ape their male counterparts showing that they could be all of the things men could and more. In the film this creates a nice contrast between the titillating costumes (short dresses and skirts, underwear and nightgowns on show) to the covered up masculine looks of shirts and ties. This contrast between the feminine and the masculine showed that the women of the seventies could be anything they wanted to be and didn't have to dress in ways that were typically associated with feminine dressing. In my opinion, these masculine inspired outfits are the stand out looks of the film and date surprisingly well.
Edwige Fenech wears two distinctive brooches in the film. The sailoresque outfit she wears features a large red patent heart brooch with an arrow through it on her button up collar. The brooch has some diamante embellishment on the arrow section adding a little bit of sparkle and glamour to her look. The brooch is a rather eclectic piece that has an almost childlike quality to it perhaps giving a nod to Londoner Jennifer's eccentric British style. Jennifer's heart brooch is the perfect accessory to finish off her sailor look tying together the bright red details on the cuffs with the rest of her outfit.
Jennifer wears another brooch at a later point in the film in a similar childlike style. In the scene where Jennifer confronts her suspicious elderly neighbour, she wears a dark trouser suit with shirt and tie complimented by a mustard yellow man on the moon brooch. The brooch compliments the mustard yellow stitching on her denim jacket and is quite a size taking up the majority of space on her wide 1970s lapel. I love the heart brooch sailor look worn by Jennifer earlier in the film but personally feel the gaudy man on the moon brooch to look at odds with her menswear look in this scene.
Both brooches work well as eclectic accessories that heighten the fun feel of the outfits they're paired with. A small accessory like a brooch gives these outfits a little bit of added detail which makes them a little bit more outlandish and memorable. The brooches work incredibly well at giving us the viewer an insight into who Jennifer is by her eccentric London style.

In Sheila's final scene she wears a patent black trench coat that's a great nod to the traditional attire of the classic giallo villain. The coat works well as a visual red herring as it immediately arouses suspicions over whether Sheila is indeed the black coated villain of the piece. This works well at misdirecting the audience near the climax of the film and although I would consider it a red herring, it also is a visual clue to the identity of the real villain who is of course, connected to Sheila. Anabella Incontrera looks incredibly stylish and suitably gialloesque in her patent trench teamed with the aforementioned menswear style.
Fur/faux fur coats were incredibly popular in the early seventies and this is certainly evident in The Case of the Bloody Iris. We first see Mizar wear one as we are introduced to her character in the apartment building. Mizar wears a coat in the afghan style which at the time was associated with bohemian types. By introducing her character in such a distinctive coat, costumer Laurenzi is letting the audience know that there is something rather exotic about Mizar. This idea is more apparent when we discover her profession as an exotic dancer. There's a few comments made throughout the film about Mizar's ethnicity and I think her wardrobe plays up to this idea of her being an exotic foreigner by dressing her in "ethnic" clothing like the coat in order to present her as different to the other women, Of course this style of coat was popular at the time but it was definitely something that someone with a bit of edge and style would wear so it really makes Mizar stand out against the other building dwellers.
Jennifer's roommate Marilyn is also seen wearing a fur coat in the film. She wears two fur coats at various points - one in the cafe and one in her death scene. Marilyn's coats differ wildly from Mizar's whereas Mizar's coat suggests that she is an arty bohemian type, Marilyn's suggests she's a bit of a fashion plate who is perhaps trying to dress a bit above her class. Marilyn's uncouth sense of humour and flippant approach to the death of Mizar suggests that she is actually rather lowbrow as a character yet her costuming seems to suggest that Marilyn cares a great deal about the image she projects to the world yet she is completely oblivious to how her behaviour undermines her. Costuming in this instance helps to showcase the contradictions in Marilyn.
The most bizarre bit of outerwear in the film would have to be Jennifer's blanket style coat which she wears over a pinstriped menswear look. The coat made up of reds, blues, yellows and white clashes horribly with her pinstripe shirt and skirt and undermines her rather sophisticated outfit. However, I think the coat is another signifier of Jennifer the eclectic Londoner who defies the rules of fashion and bizarrely enough she just about carries it off. This coat once again plays to the seventies trend of "ethnic" fashion styles looking suitably southern american.
When I discussed Argento's films in previous fashion posts I couldn't really discuss the eccentricities of giallo fashion as Dario's films tended to shun the quirkier side of fashion. That's why it's such a joy to discuss a film that has a distinctively gialloesque approach to fashion. In one scene we see Jennifer wear a fabulous cape that she wears oh so casually over a pair of trousers and a turtleneck it's details and accessories like this that really make fashion in giallo cinema stand out. It's the pieces that are dramatic and outlandish that make these films such a joy to watch and help to elevate traditional seventies fashions into the stratosphere. The giallo film really understands the importance of fashion in creating a sense of fun and visual panache.

For me, the most distressing scene in The Case of the Bloody Iris was when Marilyn is brutally stabbed on a crowded street in the middle of daylight. Was my distress brought about by the crippling anxiety that nowhere is really safe, not even a busy street? Oh no, what chilled me to the bone was the wanton destruction of poor old Andrea's camel coat. Marilyn desperately clings to Andrea after a fatal stabbing, smearing crimson red blood all over his beautiful wool coat. Andrea's coat is truly a thing of beauty that helps to portray him as the wonderful suave architect that he is. Andrea continues to bring his fashion game throughout the film by wearing a fantastic checked blazer - how could Jennifer resist a man that understands the importance of outerwear?
The A-Line Skirt
Particularly fashionable at the time of writing, the A-Line skirt is the skirt of choice throughout the film and is seen on Jennifer, Marilyn and our first murder victim. Flattering, versatile and a little bit sexy, the a-line mini is the perfect bottom to give any outfit some seventies flare.
As this film was made in 1972 it follows on from the sixties trend of the mini skirt before longer lengths like the midi crept back into style. All of the skirts featured throughout the film are of very short lengths and are cut in that classic a line style. Unlike their 1960s equivalents, the mini skirts in the early seventies and in this film, were often made from various textured fabrics such as velvet, corduroy and tweed as opposed to the simple polyester of the sixties. This added bit of texture really brings the various looks in the films to life and gives the costumes more variety and depth. The a-line cut gives the skirt more of a distinctive shape that slims the upper thigh and helps to create a desirable silhouette by sitting on the waist and flaring out from what us women deem as our "problem areas".
The Waistcoat
We see two different versions of the waistcoat - the shorter more traditional style and the gilet. The waistcoat has always been a popular item in woman's fashion and has been worn in various styles and ways over the last fifty odd years. At present, longer waistcoats that appear to double as sleeveless coats are very much in vogue whereas 10 years ago, a classic shaped waistcoat in a simple neutral colour (often teamed with denim or an uncoordinated mini skirt) was a go to style. In The Case of the Bloody Iris and 1970s fashion, the waistcoat was worn in a coordinated fashion and was often part of a skirt set that was to be worn over a top in a contrasting colour. This is evident throughout the film where we see both the unnamed prostitute and Jennifer wearing the waistcoat in this fashion in various scenes. Both women wear their waistcoats over thin turtlenecks in a contrasting colour - Jennifer wears a mustard one whereas the unnamed woman wears a deep burgundy coloured turtleneck which sharply contrast against their forest green and mauve skirt sets. This look helps to bring a sense of coordination to an outfit and adds a little bit more detail through an extra layer that gives both outfits a more polished feel. I'd also add that the simple addition of a waistcoat smartens up both women's looks and takes a bit of focus off their skirt lengths which may be deemed as rather risque if they were teamed with less modest pieces.
The fur gilet is another popular clothing item in The Case of the Bloody Iris and is worn by Jennifer on two separate occasions. As previously discussed, fur is a popular look in the film and features in a lot of the outerwear worn by the female characters. Whereas Marilyn tends to wear over the top fur coats that suggest that she's a bit of a social climber, Jennifer wears a less fancy version of this look by donning a fur gilet. The fur gilet is a little bit more fashion forward and has a bohemian edge to it that adds to Jennifer's eclectic London style. The gilet is worn in a similar fashion to the aforementioned waistcoats and is worn over long sleeve tops to once again create a wonderful layered look. I particularly love the exaggerated shoulders that give a sense of structure to both of Jennifer's outfits.
When it comes to nightwear I blame Fawlty Towers for giving me horribly unrealistic expectations of what should be worn to bed. I remember being fascinated by Sybil Fawlty's hospital wardrobe from the 1975 episode The Germans. From pink frilly gauzy cardigans to powder blue polyester nightgowns I thought this was how all adults dressed for bed. Sadly as I got older I realised that Sybil's over the top wardrobe was very much a thing of the past and that women in the 1990s wore boring pajamas and cotton nightgowns to bed. It was only when I discovered gialli that I was transported back to that wonderful world of decadent nightwear that I first discovered watching an overplayed VHS of Fawlty Towers all those years ago. From The Red Queen Kills Seven Times to The Case of the Bloody Iris gialli shows us time and time again nightwear that appears to defy gravity as we watch our heroines float around extravagant exteriors in little more than a bit of gauze and gossamer which somehow keeps their modesty in tact although only just! In a nighttime scene in Jennifer and Marilyn's apartment we are treated to a showcase in seventies nightwear when we see both women go about their nighttime rituals wearing rather risque looks. Deviating from the traditional colours in the film Marilyn wears a floor sweeping nightgown in turquoise blue whereas Jennifer wears an eye watering low cut short silky number in cream. Both looks are suitably decadent for nighttime wear.
The turtleneck was a fashion staple in the 1970s and was popular with both men and women which is reflected in the costuming of the film as pretty much every character featured wears one in one scene or other. A versatile piece, the turtleneck could be worn by itself or used to layer with other garments i.e. a waistcoat, a blazer. My particular favourite turtleneck in the film is Sheila's striped number that she wears in the cafe that's perfectly accesorised with an amazing yellow floppy hat. The turtleneck is traditionally viewed as an unflattering garment yet it manages to look suitably stylish in many of the looks throughout the film.
Despite some of the fashions in the film being rather risque, you'll notice that when it comes to cleavage the majority of the female characters are rather covered up with their legs often being the preferred body part on show. I think its easy to dismiss the majority of gialli as films used to titillate and this argument definitely has some weight to it however, films like the Case of the Bloody Iris show that fashion isn't just used to titillate but also to create a sense of style and glamour to the film. Yes we have the rather raunchy scene where Jennifer's breasts are painted to resemble a top yet we also have a lot of scenes where the female characters wear fabulous stylishly put together ensembles that aren't particularly "sexy". In my opinion film makers like Carnimeo wanted to titillate to some degree but they also wanted to bring a sense of style that looked great on screen but also appealed to the female audience who would leave the cinema wanting to replicate the looks from the film. The giallo was popular with men and women in equal measures so I don't it's necessarily correct to assume that all gialli were concerned with costuming women to appeal solely to the male sex. Instead I think gialli costume designers tried to create looks that would appeal to a woman's sense of fashion and to a man's sexual desires. This created a perfect blend of sexiness and stylishness that wonderfully fused with the overall aesthetic of the 1970s.
A small selection of some of the turtlenecks on offer
I'd like to conclude my post on the film with a few of my own observations and opinions about the giallo heroine. Many dismiss the women in gialli as "sluts" and/or "babes" whose sole purpose is to strip off, show their tits and then be offed in an elaborate way and of course, there's a lot of truth to that. However, I think we sometimes unfairly dismiss the giallo heroine as a dated, misogynistic character. Yes, there are a lot of problematic depictions of women in gialli and the way that many men talk about these actresses even today is questionable, however I truly believe that the gialli heroine has many positive attributes that make these films so wonderful and appealing to women in the 21st century. Without going into the topic too deeply (perhaps a post for another time) I personally feel like the giallo heroine has more autonomy and independence than many of her modern counterparts. Often the women in these films have careers, their own homes, cars and social lives. I would argue that many of these women have sexual autonomy and although some heroines or female characters are punished for their sexuality, many gialli heroines like Jennifer are able to have sexual relationships and still survive to become the victors at the end of their respective films. Often the female characters in these tales come across as the real heroes compared to their male counterparts and are often a crucial part of solving the central mystery of their stories. On the other hand, female characters can be just as sadistic and cruel as their male counterparts - in the Case of the Bloody Iris, the old lady believes that the young women around her are sluts and sexually promiscuous whores who deserve everything they get for daring to be sexually liberated. Many gialli feature female characters who are murderers and/or are complicit in carrying out deranged and violent deeds. Although in no way perfect, the giallo heroine is far from the doe eyed victim that she is often made out to be. In many ways, the elaborate fashions and style of these women show that the women in these films differ drastically from one another and embody different attributes that make them more than pretty hapless victims from the uncouth Marilyn to the sexually forward lesbian Sheila, the women in The Case of the Bloody Iris each have their own motivations and embody different approaches to life. Admittedly, gialli characterisation is limited but fashion works as a fantastic signifer and gives us an overall sense of who these women are through their contrasting wardrobes.
The Case of the Bloody Iris perfectly encapsulates the wonderful style of giallo cinema and is one of the greatest examples of fashion in Italian genre cinema. Although I have not discussed all of the many looks throughout the film I hope I've given a little bit of an insight into some of the styles and trends featured. I've added a few pictures of the iconic looks throughout and apologise for the questionable image quality in this post. I leave you with a picture of Andrea and Jennifer in which Jennifer wears the most stunning black and cream maxi dress possibly committed to film. Till next time!

Norel Iacob
The events of July 2016 deepen the social gaps that have become a mark of the 21st century. In an increasingly absurd dialogue of violence, the fighters are radicalizing. Some become religious fanatics, others nationalists. Some become terrorists, others xenophobes. What is constant is the spiral of resentments. On the other hand, the disarming spectacle of political imposture continues. Trump and, more recently Erdogan, are in the forefront.
During periods with so many events to comment on, it becomes easier to notice that the objectivity of media analysts, who largely influence the masses, is becoming more and more the equivalent of cynicism, and this is not a criticism. It is a simple finding that shows that opinion leaders feel compelled to acknowledge the shattering of the myth of progress, that of the goodness inherent in the human being, or that of the leaders' clean hands.
The problem is that, informed by sources other than the press—including our own experiences—we become haunted by the thought that a majority, if not everybody, has hidden motives and we gradually become unable to believe in honesty. This helplessness becomes part of everyday life. We end up living in a permanent effort to not be deceived, and the lower we are in the social pyramid of control, the more our mental health is affected.
The cynicism that suggests that the world cannot change because people do not change kills idealism, cuts off wings, discourages proactivity, and eliminates both belief in the existence of meaning and faith in God. A correct interpretation of biblical anthropology is congruent with the cynical view: human nature is utterly depraved, and this is the most honest explanation of the state of affairs in the world.
In biblical language, we are "slaves to sin", unable to act differently. Nevertheless, it is at this point that an important difference between cynicism and the Bible occurs. The latter says that people, even if they cannot change by themselves, can be changed with outside help.
But how does the biblical perspective of trust in change help us when confronted with the Islamist danger? How does it put an end to terror? Does it urge us to turn the other cheek, to give the fanatics the opportunity to kill some more children, while we pray for a change in their violent nature? No way. Acts of terrorism require immediate measures to defend justice and to prevent future attacks.
The biblical perspective, however, shows its value when it is placed next to the quasi-permanent cynicism that blocks the search for long-term solutions, for intra- and intercommunity reconciliation.
The reality is that few people still believe in changing the world or fighting for this change. Most of those who do are young idealists, who, in time, become cynical. Alongside them are the few who sincerely believe in the existence of a God who gives meaning to life and the world.
However, this is not religious or Christian apologetics, because, unfortunately, most religious or Christian people and their institutions do not always have transparent motives. The few I describe here are the people who, through the purity of their motives and perspectives, are capable of true miracles (not supernatural or mystical), which are born when they manage to convey hope, trust, and give a helping hand to those who also have a deep desire to change.
I have met such people, people who know the world they live in, yet do not endorse cynicism. With this kind of attitude, they resemble Jesus, the One who—though He knew the hidden motives of all—did not cynically respond to that reality. On the contrary, the publicans and sinners, the robbers and the criminals, the profiteers and the traitors, found in Jesus a reason to believe that they could change. According to the Bible, this was the only way these pariahs could find change.
When compared with Jesus, it becomes clear that a cynical Christian needs healing himself. Their cynicism is a sign of helplessness or, in biblical terms, of unbelief. As one who was more aware than anyone of the deplorable state of the world, Jesus did not hesitate to state, however, in many ways and in various forms, that people can, must believe in and act for change, because "everything is possible for one who believes". His words were not a motivational slogan, but the expression of an absolute truth that completely changed the rules of the game.
Faith is the answer to cynicism. A faith that is neither naivety nor superstition, but a transcendent reinterpretation of reality. This is what enables us to see the world as it is seen through God's eyes. This is the solution that every idealist, every peace promoter, be them an atheist, imagines. A realism devoid of self-illusion, doubled by a lucid and bright perspective, which would open the way to change. The good news is that such a road exists. The bad news, for a society that abandons God because of Christian hypocrisy or its own hypocrisy, is that we will not really find Him without the faith that heals our perceptions and inspires our actions.

Understanding Megan's Law
What is Megan's Law?
Megan's law is a piece of legislation that exists within the United States that requires individuals convicted in sex crimes involving children - or minors - to register themselves in a database containing the names and locations of all known and convicted sex offenders residing within the United States; this law was instated as a preventative measure to deter Statutory Rape and other forms of exploitative sex crimes. Megan's Law is eponymously named for Megan Kanka – a 7 year old New Jersey girl who was raped and murdered by an individual who was discovered to be a repeat offender with regard to sexual and violent crimes involving children. Subsequent to the brutal murder of MeganKanka on July 29th, 1994, legislation was passed requiring convicted sexual offenders to register in nationwide database, but in certain cases, these individuals are required to reveal themselves as convicted sex offenders to neighbors and individuals living within a vicinity of their respective residence
Megan's Law: Who is considered a Minor?
A minor – or child – is defined as an individual who is prohibited from engaging in specific activity that is presumed to require a heightened sense of maturity and growth as a result of their respective age(s); oftentimes, this level of maturity and experience is considered to be a classification for legal-adulthood. A minor is prohibited from consenting to any nature of sexual activity, including intercourse, copulation, performance, or depiction.
Megan's Law: Crimes Involving Children
The following crimes involve the illicit, unlawful, and illegal involvement of children in activities in which individuals legally-classified as children are prohibited from engaging:
Statutory Rape is a crime that Megan's Law may require an individual convicted to register as a sex offender. This type of crime is defined as the illegal and unlawful engagement of sexual activity with a minor; depending on the case details, further classification of individual Statutory Rape cases can include Sexual Assault and Rape. Due to the fact that legislation varies on a state-by-state and country-by-country basis, a guilty verdict can result in a variety of possible convictions, ranging from degreed sexual offenses to aggravated sexual assault. In most cases, not only the jurisdiction, but also the nature and severity of the sexual activity in question contribute to the qualification and classification of specific sexual acts and their punitive restitution.
Child Pornography is the depictions of children (that are involved in illicit, lewd, inappropriate, illegal, unlawful sexual acts. Due to the age(s) of the victim(s), the notion of consent does not exist in the case of Child Pornography; this is considered to be an act of manipulation, exploitation, and the inherent corruption of a minor. Child Pornography is considered to be one of the most egregious and heinous offenses in the scope of crimes against children; those convicted of Child Pornography charges are subject to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Individuals convicted of producing, selling, owning, or purchasing child pornography will typically be required to register as sex offenders under Megan's Law.
Child Molestation is a form of Child Abuse involving the illegal, unlawful, and illicit touching or contact with regard to a child – or minor; the bulk of child molestation charges are sexual in nature, and are considered to be representative of egregious violations and exploitation of a minor.Child Abuse that is sexual in nature involves the participation of a sexual act with a child, whom is legally-prohibited from consenting to such an act; this form of Child Abuse is considered to be predatory and exploitative in nature – sexual Child Abuse can range from statutory rape to the possession of child pornography. Depending on the severity of the crime, an individual may be required to register themselves in a sex offender database or registry with regard to stipulations expressed in Megan's Law.
Megan's Law Legislation
Individuals who have participated is sexual crimes involving minors – through facilitation or victimization – are encouraged to contact their local authorities or law enforcement department in order to report the details of the offense. In the event that an individual wishes to do so in an anonymous fashion, they should contact the Department of Child Protective Services immediately at (800) 422-4453

I figured it was about time I gave you a little update about what's going on in my life right now, and about some of the things that happened over my summer.
I'm back in school for my last year of my undergrad, and I'm now V-P of the history society on campus. I'm also resuming my role as a writer for the campus newspaper, but with the added bonus of having one of my best friends on the staff this year. I'll probably make a master list of all those articles on the blog again, so that you can read what I write in my everyday life.
I just moved off campus this year as well, since I really enjoyed working off campus this summer, in what used to be the town's old courthouse. I'm super happy with my new place, and my roommates are pretty awesome too. Although, I think Eos might be the favourite roommate of all, since she's a beautiful but curious corn snake.
I also got my first tattoo this summer, which has been on my list since I graduated high school. It's a blackwork rose on my left shoulder, done by the fabulous Emily at Folklore Tattoo. I'll be posting more about my experience and some tattoo tips later on, but for now, here's a close up picture of it!
That's about it for what I've been up to these last couple of months! I hope you're all doing great, and are heading into fall ready to make it the best one yet. Please drop me a comment about any of your fall plans or what you've been up to, I love hearing about your lives too!
See you soon in the next post!
