A Brief History of Hypnotherapy
December 15, 2018 JamesUncategorizedNo comments
The History of Hypnotherapy goes back a very long way. Early forms of Hypnosis involved trance work. We have significantly developed wonderful techniques into the 21st Century and it is now considered and accepted that Hypnotherapy can change people's lives for the better.
The Grandfather of Hypnosis is well documented – Franz Anton Mesmer. Mesmer was born 1734 in Germany and he primarily studied Theology at University. He later went on to study law and then medicine. He received his doctorate in 1766 with a dissertation: The influence of the planets on the human body. Whilst he was a student, Mesmer was influenced by the Physician Paracelsus who was interested in astrological influences and human health. Mesmer carried out his own experiments in an attempt to use magnets for healing. He developed the theory of animal magnetism. Mesmer applied magnets to his patient's bodies and attributed his success at healing with the concept, that the body was analogous to a magnet and that the fluid ebbed and flowed according to the laws of magnetism. Healing sessions developed into group sessions and Mesmer moved from magnets and electrodes to the use of his hands. Popular theory grew that Mesmer's own body was the actual source of the "animal" type of magnetism. Mesmer had many followers and techniques grew with a further insight into the effects of suggestion employed.
The story of Hypnosis follows on with one of Mesmer's disciples, the Marquis de Puysegur, who had been originally persuaded by his two brothers to join a Society called The Society of Universal Harmony. This was run by Mesmer. Examples of his work include, a patient who was deeply hypnotisable. He found that he was able to talk to the patient during hypnosis and was able to ask the patient questions and got responses. Mesmer continued to practice in Switzerland for a number of years and died in 1815.
An English Doctor called James Braid was born in 1795. In the 1840's he established the term "Hypnosis" from the Greek God of Sleep Hypnos. This name is not ideal as it gives people the false thought that they will fall asleep whilst in a Hypnotic trance. He did realise his mistake and tried to rename Hypnosis but the original name stuck. He carried out further developments and when he carried out his first scientific study, he concluded that many cures involved were not due to animal magnetism but the power of suggestion. James Braid died in 1860.
In 1901 Milton Erickson was born. He was one of the most creative, dynamic and effective Hypnotherapists of the twentieth century. He used unconventional techniques with remarkable success.
At the age of 17 he had his first attack of Polio, which resulted in him being paralysed. He could only move his eyes and was barely able to speak. Over the next two years, Milton taught himself to walk again. (This was encouraged by watching his baby sister learning to walk). He closely observed how human beings communicate and how the subconscious mind works. Thus one of the hallmarks of Hypnotherapy was born – indirect suggestion.
Milton went on to qualify as a doctor and engaged himself with psychiatry. Later in his life, he contracted Polio for a second time and he suffered significantly with pain and muscle weakness. But having been through the experience once before. He now had a strategy for recovery with the aid of using Self-Hypnosis. He turned this experience to good use and was highly effective in treating people with pain using Hypnosis.
Milton Erickson was a very successful Hypnotherapist and delivered a life-long service in order to help and change people's lives for the better. Milton Erickson died in 1980, aged 78. And to this day, many successful Hypnotherapists use his wonderful techniques.
Dave Elman was born in 1900. His connection with Hypnosis began early in his life as he was influenced by his father who had a great interest in the subject. When he was eight years old his father was diagnosed with cancer. His father obtained the help from a friend who was skilled in the use of Hypnosis for pain relief. Dave Elman saw the benefits that his father gained from Hypnotic techniques.
Elman developed a career in the music industry and worked with celebrities. On one occasion in 1948, he was let down by a host who was supposed to be supporting him with a musical performance. Dave Elman used self-hypnosis and the performance was a great success. At the time, the performance was being watched by doctors who were intrigued. And this resulted in Elman being asked to teach them his skills for use in their practices. From then on Elman practised Hypnosis successfully until his death in 1967.

The obesity epidemic is a barrier to the participation of adolescents in developmentally normative behaviors associated with mate selection, such as dating. Notably, the obesity stigma has important implications for the socioemotional development of adolescents in the realms of intimacy and peer acceptance, as well as for their future chances of marriage and healthy relationships.
Obesity; Dating; Social stigma
The levels of adolescent obesity in the United States are growing to epidemic proportions. Ironically, one consequence of the social stigma associated with obesity may, in fact, be the reluctance on the part of researchers to consider questions surrounding the impact of adolescent obesity on dating and mate selection. In this piece, we summarize what is known about this topic, and highlight the need for much more research.
Obesity, marriage, and dating
While Americans are waiting longer to get married – the average age of first marriage is 27 years for women and 29 for men – in many ways young people begin the mate selection processes long before, around the onset of puberty. As such, the time between puberty and the formation of committed relationships, such as marriage, is one involving romantic and sexual relationship exploration and experimentation, a period which entails choosing shorter- or longer-term mates from pools of eligible partners [1,2]. For many young people in the United States, however, partner selection during adolescence may be complicated by the rapidly increasing incidence of obesity, as young people who are obese may experience multiple barriers to dating, including cultural stigmas, as well as evolutionary barriers associated with signals of overall health and/or pregnancy status. These signals are so important that, after testing, authors have definitively showed the existence of a clear negative impact of obesity on the marriage prospects of the obese [3].
While it is perhaps unsurprising that weight and obesity are linked to sexual attractiveness in the adult population, finding definitive proof of this fact in the population of adolescents has proven to be much more difficult [2]. The fact that 18.4 percent of U.S. adolescents, including 19.6 percent of boys and 17.1 percent of girls, were obese in 2010 testifies to the existence of obesity during the critical developmental period between puberty and adulthood in young people's lives and the need for further exploration of the topic at hand [4].
The limited research currently available on the relationship between adolescent obesity and dating indicates the existence of both gender and racial differences in the experiences of obese youths in the world of sex and romance. It is also true that, while empirical research involving nationally representative longitudinal data on adolescents living in the U.S. shows a negative relationship between obesity and (heterosexual) adolescents' chances of dating [5], it does not necessarily show the same negative relationship between obesity and adolescents' involvement in casual sexual encounters [5-7]. In the section that follows, we explore in detail the literature to date on how exactly obesity affects the prospects of adolescents in the dating pool.
Obesity and Dating in Detail
Both adolescent men and women prefer dating partners who are not seriously overweight, with men showing a greater aversion towards dating an overweight partner than women [8,9]. A recent study based on Add-Health data suggests, however, a racial difference in the chances of dating for non-Hispanic Black versus White females [6]. Whereas obese White females are less likely than their non-obese counterparts to date, have sexual intercourse, or experience other forms of sexual intimacy such as genital touching, there is no difference between obese and non-obese Black females' experiences with these activities. In fact, in follow-up work to the initial studies, authors have found that this result holds up under more rigorous statistical testing, with results obtained after the use of instrumental variables regressions, and controls for personality traits, as well as various other factors [10].
Research by [7] drawing on a 2003 sample from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), finds that overweight adolescent girls and boys are less likely to initiate sex for the first time, and are also less likely to date [5]. Furthermore, this same study, in a parallel analysis drawing on a 1997 sample from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), found no relationship between adolescent girls' or boys' weight and their initiation of sexual intercourse, but there was a negative relationship between girls (but not boys) being overweight and dating [5]. Given that most youth initiate sexual intercourse with dating rather than non-intimate or casual sex partners [11], this study generally supports the idea that obesity is a barrier to adolescents' participation in romantic relationships. In addition to romantic relationships, however, another area of concern is that of casual sex or "hooking up". This is explored in the following section.
Casual sex and obesity
Given the popularity of casual sex, or "hooking up," in today's youth culture, it is also important to examine the relationship between obesity and young people's experiences with this type of activity [12]. Furthermore, for some youth, hooking up serves as a gateway to longer-term dating relationships, notably when they develop an intimate psychological relationship with a partner following their initial casual sexual encounter [13,14]. For better or for worse, however, the most recent research on heterosexual adolescents suggests that obese adolescents are either as likely as their non-obese counterparts to engage in casual sex [2], or else they are even more likely to do so [15]. In particular, one study has showed that White adolescent females are more likely to have multiple partners, older partners, and are less likely to use condoms than their non-obese peers [6]. Overall, then, research suggests that obese adolescents are less likely to date, as well as less likely to transition to dating relationships with their casual sex partners than are non-obese youth [3]. The fact that obese heterosexual youth may find it easier to develop casual sexual versus longer-term dating relationships is very likely to be a concern for their overall relationship satisfaction. Obese youth's engagement in the hookup culture may not be as viable a pathway to dating as it is for non-obese youth. Since adolescence is a critical period for young people to explore their mating preferences, as well as gain skills in psychological and emotional intimacy with potential romantic partners, obese adolescents' achievement of developmental milestones in the realm of love and romance could thus be compromised [2]. In the section that follows, we discuss the most permanent of these milestones in detail, namely, that of marriage.
Marriage and obesity
Given that the mate selection processes during adolescence functions, in part, to prepare young people for the transition to adulthood and the selection of more permanent partners, it is important to identify the factors which may be contributing to obese adolescents' reduced chances of dating and to acknowledge the implications of such factors for their chances of successful mating and achieving relationship permanency in adulthood. Current research shows, indeed, a negative relationship between obesity and women's, but not men's, entry into marriage, as well as a negative relationship between obesity and both women's and men's entry into cohabitation [16]. It is, therefore, perhaps unsurprising that obesity has also been found to lower both wages and self-esteem more for women, and particularly white women as compared to men [17]. While the posited factors for this relationship are many, it is clear that selection into marriage [18] and finding a suitable mate based on weight are two important variables at play [1]. At the earlier stage, namely dating, one may wonder which factors are most important in creating the link between obesity and relationships. To this end, in the next section, we focus our attention on the social stigma created by obesity.
The obesity stigma
We conclude with a brief exploration of one of the most important factors related to obese heterosexual adolescents' lesser chances of dating. Specifically, obese adolescents may be less likely to date due to cultural factors, notably the stigma associated with obesity, but likely also due to peer pressure to date normal to less-than-average weight partners. We briefly review the literature in this area, and discuss the implications not only for obese adolescents' chances of marriage or relationship permanency in adulthood, but also for the future of marriage as an institution in a society where obesity is a common and growing public health concern.
According to a 2009 study, rising rates of weight discrimination among adults have occurred in the U.S. over the past ten years; and this trend is particularly targeted towards women [19,20]. As the obesity epidemic has grown, it appears that stigmatizing attitudes towards overweight individuals has increased as well. More specific to the current discussion, a review by Puhl and Latner shows that obese children's physical and emotional health is negatively impacted through stigmatization by both adults and peers [21]. Perhaps the prevalence of obesity stigma among youth is one of the reasons why [7] surmise that peer pressure regarding the importance of physical attractiveness may serve as more of a barrier to young people's participation in the public dating market than in more private forms of sexual exchange [5]. Indeed, an earlier study accessing adolescents' attitudes toward dating overweight partners also concluded, from findings based on the Dating Overweight Partners Scale (DOPS), that especially men, but also women, were uncomfortable dating overweight partners [8].
Research suggests that the reports of obese youth dating status dissatisfaction is likely a direct result of stigma by peers, including boys' greater vulnerability to overt victimization and girls' to relational victimization [9]. Such mistreatment, also, may result in obese youths experiencing poor psychosocial outcomes [21], which may exacerbate the negative impact of stigma on peer relations, including relationships with potential dating partners. Again, however, it is critical to examine both gender and racial differences regarding the relationship between obesity and adolescent dating. Black adolescent men and women, for example, appear to be more accepting of overweight individuals, and more likely to consider them sexy and attractive compared to Whites [22] found that overweight Black female adolescents experience less rejection in the dating market compared to obese White women, as well as greater comfort with their bodies, in spite of the fact that both Black and White adolescents hold negative stereotypes about obesity [22].
While the topic of obesity and dating has not been studied to a great extent to date, it is a critical area for current and future research. Given rising rates of obesity and other health issues, a clear need exists to identify factors which will help to address this physical problem which has important definitive effects on, among other things, adolescent socio-emotional development and long-term relationship happiness. In this piece, we have explored one avenue in which obesity may have an impact, namely, through its effect on mate selection, marriage prospects, and, ultimately, healthier relationships for individuals and thus society as a whole.
•There are many factors that are potentially responsible and have been put forward by various authors as reasons for this correlation between obesity and marriage. These include selection effects by obesity, which is the focus of the present piece, protection from bad health through marriage, social obligations of marriage to have meals etc. which makes people gain weight, and the marriage market hypothesis. The ideas with the most support have been selection, social obligation, and the marriage market hypothesis, hence, we feel justified in our current focus [23].
•Perhaps the clearest link was established in a study of Taipei prostitutes, where Chang and Weng [24] found that the price of prostitutes was negatively related to their weight, as well as to the degree of sexually risky behaviors they were willing to undertake [24].
•To date, there has been very little research on the correlation between obesity and dating among homosexual adolescents, although a recent study involving over 300 MSM men in the Midwestern U.S. found that while non-obese adult men were as likely to have sex as obese men, they were significantly more likely to have unsafe and anal sex, perhaps due to their partner's (unfounded) belief that non-obese men were less likely to be infected with HIV/AIDS. Although our focus here is on heterosexual youth, there is a significant need for further research on the relationship between obesity, dating, and sex among youth with non-heterosexual preferences.

Neighboring 101 Graduates share journey to program
By Vicky O. Misa | Vicky.misa@news-star.com | (405) 214-3962 | Twitter: @Vicky_NewsStar
Recently, the Neighboring 101 program celebrated its 11th graduating class. Some of the Getting Ahead students shared their stories of struggle and determination.
Recently, the Neighboring 101 program celebrated its 11th graduating class. At the latest round of Getting Ahead students were honored with plaques in front of their families, friends and supporters; several boldly took to the podium to pay-it-forward — sharing their stories of struggle and determination.
Karen Scott's experience with the Neighboring 101 program helped her promote sides of herself often neglected by others.
She said she has been known as many things — a mother, a writer, artist, photographer, and a wife. Those are important pieces of what make Scott who she is, though a lot of strangers don't want to hear about that side of her, she said.
"They want to hear about Karen the abuse victim; Karen who was an addict; the Karen who has PTSD and was diagnosed with depression," she said, "and Karen, who has a violent felony on her record."
There was a time when she though she had it all together, she said.
Scott said she, her husband and their three children created their own little word.
"We didn't need anybody else," she explained. "We had each other and that's all we needed in the world."
At the beginning of 2018, Scott said that little world fell apart.
Her family split up.
She said everything that she had worked for was violated and it was taken away from her.
"All it took was one bad day," she said.
It seemed like every step the couple took to push forward ended in being driven back two more, she said.
Scott said Neighboring 101 CEO Steve Palmer surprised her during the interviewing process for the classes.
"He wanted to know more about me," she said. "And all that trauma, all that pain, and all those bad days that I thought were separating me — the things I thought were holding me back — he asked me how I wanted to use those gifts (being a mom, artist, etc.)."
She said Palmer talked to her like he saw so much potential.
Going into the classes Scott said she had some idea of what she thought they would be like.
"It turned out to be something very, very different," she said. "
Even though many times things got uncomfortable, Scott said she found herself looking forward to every three-hour discussion.
No so, for some.
"It happens when you get a lot of people with very big personalities, and you start talking," she said. "I watched our class shrink week after week."
Scott said, for her, the class gave her the faith and the confidence to face the things she didn't like.
She learned she wasn't the only kid raised and abused by a drug dealer, she said.
"It's important to know you're not alone," she said. "And that was a really special thing to me; I met some very amazing people."
She said she has learned that her personal story is something people need to hear.
"No one is successful alone," she said. "We need each other — not in spite of our bad days, but because of them."
Those bad days are what made her and her classmates advocates for abuse victims, creative problem solvers and warriors for the innocent.
"Yes, I am a felon," she said. "But there's so much more to me."
Scott said, looking to the future, she's afraid of people watching her; judging her — who won't see more than that felon.
"But my goal is to be a member of my community," she said. "Speaking for the people in the city I love."
Melissa Camp
Melissa Camp's interview process was much the same a Scott's, Camp said.
"(Palmer) asked a lot of good questions I hadn't really been asked or thought about," she said. "That was something I wanted to explore."
She said she thought just maybe she could learn a few things that could help her.
"I was in the middle of just being stuck," she said.
The program empowered her to get ahead, she said, and not be comfortable with staying where she was.
Camp said during her childhood her father was a manager, which caused her family to move around often.
"When I was 13 my parents divorced," she said. "My mom had no skill set; she worked two or three jobs trying to put food on the table."
She was gone all the time trying to make money for the rent, Camp said.
"I remember she always told me two things she wanted me to do — not depend on a man (she wanted me to be independent) and take care of my brothers and sisters." she said.
Camp got through school and college, had a daughter and trained to be a nurse.
"I was a registered nurse for almost 20 years," she said. "During that time my parents passed away and I had several surgeries."
She said she became addicted to pain medication.
"As a registered nurse — a director of nursing at a nursing home — all the medications would come to me to be destroyed."
Though she loved her job, that wasn't going to work because instead of being destroyed she would take the meds, she said.
"This was about the last four years," she said. "I went through a peer program, which is like a drug court for nurses, and I didn't have a job."
Eventually Camp became a director of nursing again, she said.
"But before it was all over with I quit nursing," she said.
"I think the stress and addiction and everything was too much."
At that point Camp decided to take a whole different career path, she said.
Camp began working at a hotel.
"It was kind of like real estate nursing; I would sell them a room and then take care of them while they're there."
She then worked her way up, becoming an office manager.
"The last two years I've had two side surgeries," she said. "Which reintroduced me to pain medication — and a dependency on it."
Camp said poverty isn't just the physical side of it.
When she saw the program's 11 resources information, she said she immediately could relate to some of the items on the list. She was seeing deficiencies in other areas.
"I had to take an honest look at myself," she said.
She said the temptation was there to try to make herself look more stable on the outside, but being truthful with herself, she knew she wasn't.
"I had to be very honest," she said. "I wanted to make myself look good all around, but I'm not."
She said, she does have some strengths though.
"And I have my weaknesses, just like everybody," she said.
Camp said her physical resource is probably the lowest in her life.
"I rarely exercise; my food/fluid intake is not healthy at all; I've had health issues for the last 15 to 20 years," she said. "And I'm a recovering addict."
Camp said she took part in a medication-assisted program at Gateway to Prevention and Recovery.
"I learned a lot of things about myself," she said.
Camp also said she has been taught how to make goals.
"Small changes turn into big changes in the end," she said.
Angela Edwards
Single mom Angela Edwards grew up in a small town in Texas.
"As far as I knew, we were middle class," she said.
Being the only girl, with three brothers, she said she became the punching bag, the maid — the black sheep of the family.
"I had to fix supper and clean house from the time I was seven," she said. "If supper wasn't done right or I didn't do something right I would get hit in the head."
Sometimes a cattle prod would be used on her, she said.
"I learned at a young age not to trust people or let people get close to me," she said. "And I became independent."
Edwards said she started drinking at a young age.
She said her breaking point came one day in the summer of her junior year.
"I was working as a manager at a swimming pool," she said.
She knew her family was out so she went home to make a sandwich.
They arrived home while she was there and wanted to know why supper wasn't ready.
"They all kind of waylaid into me; usually I would just hunker down and take it, but this time I don't know what came over me," she said.
She grabbed a nearby knife.
"I didn't do it to hurt anybody," she explained. "But they left me alone."
Right then she said she knew something had to change.
"Either I was going to hurt them or myself," she said. "I put myself in Girls Town."
She found out years later that she had scholarships to play on at that time, but her parents hadn't told her.
"I still wish I had gotten to compete in school," she said. "But there's consequences to choices you make."
Edwards said students and graduates of the Getting Ahead classes are not looking for pity.
"What we are looking for are opportunities to not be looked down upon, and opportunities to not look down on ourselves," she said.
Edwards said her and her fellow grads are looking for opportunities like not living paycheck to paycheck, having college funds for their kids, saving a nest egg and living the American dream.
Edwards said in the class she learned students were stuck in a block of cement.
"We're not moving forward, we're stuck," she said. "There are many things you have to do to get out."
She said she has to get out in the community, ask questions, meet people and let people in.
"I had to rewire my way of thinking," she said.
Edwards said she wants to be a positive role model for her daughters.
"Not for being independent and just getting by," she said. "For being independent and getting ahead."
Hopefully, she said, the grads have learned a lot from each other to make their lives stronger, and to make the community stronger and better than it is today.
Neighboring 101
Palmer said the program is now into its sixth year — the past five have been led by him.
The mission of the program is to prevent and eliminate poverty.
"Poverty is a misunderstood topic. It's much more than just a lack of money," he said. "It's the extent to which an individual does without resources of any kind."
Palmer said that poverty also means lack financially, emotionally, spiritually, physically or in support, relationships, role models, knowledge of hidden rules, coping strategies, etc.
Getting Ahead
Neighboring 101's Getting Ahead classes work with individuals who are stuck and don't know how to move forward, Palmer said.
Palmer has said the classes have a 60- to 70-percent graduation rate.
Several of the initial graduates of Neighboring 101's Getting Ahead classes –– led by 2014 graduate Tiffany Walker –– pioneered a second stage, a 12-week course called Blueprints, which serves as an advanced level of continuing education.

Jeff Jacobs: Edgy Spanos determined to help Huskies find better angles
Jeff Jacobs July 30, 2019 Updated: July 31, 2019 10:41 a.m.
Jeff Jacobs: Edgy Spanos determined to help Huskies find...
1of4Defensive coordinator Lou Spanos comes to UConn with both collegiate and NFL experience, having most recently served on the staff at Alabama.Photo: UConn Athletics / Contributed photo
STORRS — Lou Spanos' angle is to get his UConn tacklers to take better angles.
My angle is to induce the best response possible.
You didn't have to be Isosceles to figure out my first-ever question to the first-year UConn football defensive coordinator didn't exactly meet his approval.
Stepping into the scrum of state reporters at the team's media day on Tuesday, Spanos answered the first three questions tossed at him about the defense in the most economical way possible. He seemed a little tight. He seemed a little intense. So I tried to get him to talk about one of the most fascinating undertakings in college football in 2019.
"Can I ask you why you took this job?"
Five-second pause. Ten-second pause. He gave a small smile.
After 12 seconds of silence, Spanos said, "Someone got another question?"
The Huskies allowed 605 points last season. The Huskies allowed 617 yards per game. Both broke FBS records for futility and put the 2018 defense squarely in the argument for the worst defense in college football history. DC Billy Crocker was fired. With lingering questions about the sport's future, UConn announced it was leaving the AAC for football independence. And since he's a guy who has experience in both the NFL and college, I thought it would be interesting to hear what appealed to him about this momentous undertaking.
Maybe I came off a little obtuse. Or a little acute. Either way, I was in deep now.
"Are you serious?" I said. "I'm serious. I wanted to ask you what motivated to want to take this job?"
He gave an answer three times longer than any other.
"This is a great job to have," Spanos said. "Like any person in America, I'm proud of any type of job. I'm offended that you ask this question. I've been here since January. I love this place, coach Edsall, the athletic department, the president, everyone is all for us. This is a great place. That's why I'm taking this job. And also they're student-athletes.
"I've got three great kids. One (has) an intellectual disability, I have a sophomore and a freshman. I have an opportunity to make kids better (more) than at the other college I was. That's why I took this job. So I get offended, out of the blue asking about a job. I'm thankful for this job like the student-athletes are thankful playing here. To answer your question, yes, I'm happy here. I can't wait to get started. I've been edgy at home. My kids go, 'Hey, dad you ready to go back, because your kind of edgy right now.' So, yes, I'm happy."
Spanos put a big emphasis on edgy. He said it like ED-GEE.
Ricky Nelson had Mary Lou.
Buddy Holly had Peggy Sue.
Sports has known Sweet Lou Hudson, Sweet Lou Johnson, Sweet Lou Piniella, Sweet Lou Williams, Sweet Louis Dunbar and Sweet Lou Whitaker.
The UConn women had Katie Lou.
Now we have Edgy Lou.
He seems intense. He seems ED-GEE. Cool. If he can get the UConn defense to tackle people, if he can stop 10 of 12 opponents from scoring at least 49 points, if he can help do something about a 1-11 record — the only win over FCS Rhode Island — Edgy Lou can be as ED-GEE as he wants. If he can hold 10 of 12 opponents under 39 points, he can be quirkier than Bob Diaco and folks won't care a lick.
"The one thing is Lou is very knowledgeable," Randy Edsall said. "He has a good football mind. He has had success as a coordinator before. His ability to relate to the kids. The enthusiasm and energy that he has. Scheme-wise, fit into what I think we need to do and the philosophy that he has in terms of creating turnovers, and also trying more to dictate to the offense. I think the kids have really done a good job of buying into the system and understanding the system. Now, we've just got to continue to get better at it here in the preseason."
Crocker is a good man, a friendly guy, a proven FCS defensive wiz. He was brought in to establish a 3-3-5 system that didn't take hold and a switch to a 4-3 didn't stop the hemorrhaging. The shuffling defenders kept getting younger and younger as the number of opposition touchdowns and first downs kept getting more insane. Exit Crocker.
"No. 1, we were playing with infants last year," Edsall said. "Guys that were just coming out of the womb, that had no idea what college football was all about. We got taken to the woodshed a few times. It wasn't any fault of those young men. They were forced into a situation that they shouldn't be held accountable for. It's something we had to do. In the long run, I felt as if that would be the best thing as we went into this year. I just think the ability for these kids to be attacking, you could see it in the spring, the communication. And when you add (linebacker transfers) D.J. Morgan and Dillon Harris, add (safety transfer) Diamond Harrell, they bring something in."
Darrian Beavers, Kevin Murphy and Marshe Terry transferred. Edsall went on to praise several returning defenders including Tyler Coyle who he added to the list of captains.
"They are the kind of guys we want and the kind aggression we want," he said. "The guy who is coordinating it all has a great way and a great knack of reaching those kids from what I've seen."
This is a guy who has coached with Mike Shanahan, Jim Mora, Bill Cowher, Dick LeBeau, Nick Saban and Mike Tomlin. Spanos worked for the Steelers as defensive quality control and assistant linebacker coach from 1995 to 2009. He was part of three Super Bowl teams. He was linebackers coach for the Redskins in 2010, defensive coordinator for UCLA in 2012 and 2013. It's worth noting the Bruins went from 14 sacks to 47 the season he arrived. He went on to be the linebackers coach with the Titans until Mike Vrabel took over and spent last year with Alabama as a defensive analyst.
Yes, he went over film of a number of games from last year. He analyzed the numbers and filed them away. He said he hasn't talked with his players about 2018. And doesn't plan on it.
"Those numbers are in history, like all the other stats from previous seasons," Spanos said. "We're focused on now."
He was sparse in dispensing information. Asked if there was a huge difference from what he saw on tape of last year and what he saw through spring practice to now, he said, "We'll let you guys look at when you guys watch practice."
The staple of his defense?
"It's going to be passion," Spano said. "We're going to fly around and have fun."
Yet when asked to elaborate more on the style of defense, he said, "We'll find out during the first game against Wagner. We'll have 11 guys. I do know that."
Over and over last year, Edsall talked about the need to get bigger, faster, stronger. He cited improvements in those areas yet not nearly where he wants to be. Spanos went to another area that screamed for improvement. Taking better angles in hard pursuit of a tackle. By the end of the spring, Spanos did see improvement. And areas where the defense most needs to catch up?
"Running to the ball," Spanos said, "and the angles."
Yes, there is always work to be done, he said. Perfection will never be reached, especially with this D, yet the pursuit is never ending. He wishes there was more time to get out in the community, but that's the coach's life. So he figures out late night drive-thru spots on the way home to Manchester.
"I'm here to coach," he said.

This Holiday Treat May Get Made Fun Of A Lot, But It's Truly Delicious!
A true fruitcake, unlike those purchased in the stores, is rich, moist, and smothered in brandy. Yes, that's right, brandy. The alcohol not only enhances the flavor of this dessert, but it helps preserve the treat. While the shelf-life of this dessert may be part of the joke, it's actually very true. In 2003, Jay Leno onThe Tonight Show sampled an heirloom fruitcake that was baked in 1878. Yes, with proper storing this dessert can last for 125 years.
When we were looking for the perfect fruitcake recipe, we wanted to stay true to the nature of this holiday confection. It had to involve alcohol, candied fruits, and of course nuts. And that's when we found it: the perfect recipe from a small article written inThe New York Times back in 1985. This fruitcake recipe has been served in the White House every year since Woodrow Wilson was in office. The White House chef, Roland Mesnier, suggests serving the fruitcake at at least room temperature, or even heating it in the microwave for one minute and adding a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Combine raisins, currants, candied fruits, glazed fruits, pineapple, pecans, and almonds with 1/2 cup bourbon and the brandy in a large bowl. Refrigerate at least overnight, or if you can, up to two days.
In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, sugar, honey, 1/3 cup flour, lemon zest, almond, and vanilla extracts until well blended.
Slowly beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup flour, 1 cup cake flour, salt, baking bowder, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
Add the flour mixture slowly to the batter, and beat until mixed.
Combine together the batter with the fruit and nut mixture, making sure to mix well.
Grease three 8.5″x4.5″x2.5″ bread pans, and line the bottoms and sides with aliminum foil. Grease the foil.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pans, smoothing the tops.
Bake in the oven for one hour, or until the centers spring back when lightly pressed.
While the cakes are baking, bring the apricot preserves to a boil in a medium saucepan. boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to reduce.
Remove the cakes from the oven, and while they are still hot, sprinkle with rum, then brush with the hot apricot jam.
Mix together 7 tablespoons bourbon with confectioners' sugar, and butter to make a frosting thin enough to spread on top of the apricot jam while the cakes are stil lwarm.
Cook the fruitcakes in their pans on a wire rack, and allow the frosting to dry.
Once the frosting has dried, remove the cakes from the pans and peel off the foil before allowing them to cool completely.
Wrap the fruitcackes in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
To serve, slice the fruitcake while chilled, then microwave for up to 1 minute and add whipped cream.

Paul Brandl
Born and raised on a dairy farm in the town of Newton, Wisconsin, Paul Brandl attended St. Isidore grade school, and graduated from Valders High School. Paul loved farming and planned to join his dad and family on the farm after graduation. Actually, Paul planned to drop out of school as soon as the law allowed, but wrestling intervened and changed that plan. Ken Schermacher started a wrestling program at Valders , the 19th high school program in Wisconsin, during the 1951-52 school year, and a neighbor, Eddie Free, invited Paul to give the sport a try. Wrestling provided just the motivation needed to keep Paul in school long enough to graduate. Competing at the state level, Paul finished fourth in his junior year and second as a senior. But he still planned to be a farmer, and had no intention of going on for further education. Coach Schermacher was the one to deliver the news that George Martin was offering Paul a scholarship to wrestle for the Badgers, an offer that changed the course of his life forever. While never a star, Paul made the team, worked hard and earned a treasured "W" in his senior year. During his college years, Paul was also a member of the UW dairy cattle judging team, and spent all four years in ROTC, earning a 2nd LT commission upon graduation. After serving six months on active duty, Paul returned to Madison to continue work on a M.S. degree in science education, while also serving as an assistant coach to George Martin during the 1959-60 season. Paul started his career as a science teacher and head wrestling coach at Greenfield High School in 1960, coaching the Greenfield Hawks to a conference championship in 1968. Later that same year, he became assistant principal at the high school and hired Ron Youngbauer to take over as head wrestling coach. In 1965 Paul was married to Charlene Cape and they went on to have four children: Bobbi, Becky, Jill and Doug. The family moved to Algoma in 1970, when Paul became high school principal. Another move just three years later brought Paul and his family to Plymouth, where he started out as assistant principal, agriculture teacher and head wrestling coach, with Bob Rank as his assistant. In 1974 Paul started the Plymouth junior wrestling club and soon added a middle school program as well. Saturday bus trips to attend kids' tournaments became a regular event, with both Doug and Jill accompanying him on many of these weekends. As a wrestler at Plymouth High, Doug finished sixth and second at the state tournament, and then wrestled for five years for the UW Badgers. Jill became a wrestling official and officiated the boys' high school tournament for two years. While at Plymouth, Paul began videotaping and televising high school wrestling events over the Plymouth cable network. Once he moved to Madison, he also worked to broadcast and videotape Badger home dual meets on select local cable channels. In addition to raising their own four children, Paul and Char became a Sheboygan County foster home and helped to raise 11 other children over a period of 20 years while living in Plymouth. After leaving coaching and becoming a school administrator, Paul worked hard to hire teachers who would coach, believing that extra-curricular activities were the best drop-out prevention programs high schools had to offer. After retirement, Paul moved to Madison to become a super Badger fan, insisting on living downtown, within walking distance of the Kohl Center and Field House, so he could walk to Badger events. He attends all wrestling home meets, along with some practice sessions and many Big Ten and NCAA events, in addition to the state high school tournament. Paul proudly shares that he's been at the state wrestling tournament in Madison since his first trip there in 1953. He has attended as a participant, a table worker, a coach, a referee, a dad, the parent of a referee, and a spectator. 1954 - Graduated, Valders (WI) High School; placed 4th and 2nd in WI High School wrestling tournament; member of State 4H and FFA dairy cattle judging teams; Award: High Individual Judge 1954-58 - UW Badger wrestling; awarded letter 1958; UW dairy cattle judging team 1955 1954 - B.S. degree in agriculture education, UW-Madison 1959-60 - Assistant wrestling coach, UW-Madison 1960-70 - Greenfield (WI) High School science teacher and head wrestling coach; wrestling official 1966 - Specialist Degree in Educational Administration, UW-Madison 1966 - Greenfield High School Teacher of the Year 1970-73 - Algoma (WI) High School principal 1973-96 - Plymouth (WI) High School teacher, head wrestling coach.

When Jill attended high school, Plymouth High was ahead of the technology times and was recording wrestling matches and playing them on the local cable station. Jill joined Mike Briggs as his color commentator for each of the broadcasts. Jill's officiating career started at youth wrestling tournaments while she was in high school. Despite never having wrestled, she developed an in-depth knowledge of wrestling rules and enjoyed participating in the action officially. When she headed to college at Marquette University, her father encouraged her to become certified as a WIAA official. She started her officiating career working JV matches in the Sheboygan county area and at Milwaukee Washington and other MPS high schools. As a small-town girl, she was overcoming fears both in confidently stepping on the mat having never wrestled and in learning to navigate the city busses and travel to unfamiliar neighborhoods in the city. For 20 years, Jill officiated and rose in rankings, ultimately becoming the first woman to officiate the WIAA state tournament. She twice officiated the state tournament as well as officiated matches at the NCAA level. A lifelong educator, Jill was hired as a high school level administrator in the Middleton Cross Plains Area School district in 1995. In the early 2000s, Jill joined with Luke Francois to start a women's wrestling program, and for the first time, stepped on the mat as a coach and a wrestler. She enjoyed this opportunity to experience the physical intensity of the sport and to allow young women the opportunity to participate. The combination of the arrival of her children, Jacey and Zoe, a highly demanding job as a school administrator, and working to earn advanced degrees in educational leadership caused her to step away from officiating in 2009. She remains an avid wrestling fan. She and her Dad have traveled to watch the Badgers in the Big Ten and NCAA tournament for over 20 years and now are joined by Jacey. Jill, her husband Tim, and their children live just outside of Middleton, WI. Jill continues to serve as a high school administrator in the Middleton Cross Plains Area School District, where she is passionate about redesigning education to engage all learners deeply.

Now that we got that "Back to the Future" stuff out of the way, it's time to focus on important stuff..."Star Wars..."
Well, since this is the gravy train to ride, I'll hop aboard. My first experience with the movie "Star Wars" was a few months before the release of "Star Wars IV: A New Hope," better known as the first "Star Wars" movie.
I was at the movie theater with my dad and the trailers came up. And one was for this sci-fi picture "Star Wars." They showed space ships and space battles and aliens but one scene was shown and I totally misunderstood it and it really colored my opinion of the movie leading up to the release date.
Okay, here, you have to understand, it's a trailer. We haven't seen these character ever before. After CP30 says, "And this is my counterpart R2D2" we cut to Luke working on a some kind of machine robot and he says, "Hello." So now I'm thinking, "Oh, the human is R2D2. This is one of those 'deep' sci-fi movies where the humans are the property of the robots." It was the 1970s, this is the kind of stuff Hollywood came up with.
So I totally misunderstood the trailer. Saw the movie and loved it and got who R2D2 was…but…I was ticked off at the ending. The end of the 70s was an interesting time in cinema. The old ideas of good defeating evil and happy endings were shoved aside. The anti-hero was big. Endings were morally ambiguous. Films like "The Godfather," "Chinatown," even "The Omen," had the "bad guys" winning, or undefeated, or escaping. I didn't notice the sea change that was about to happen. I was angry over the end of "Star Wars." Darth Vader escaped. For some odd reason, he decided to get off the Death Star and fly into battle himself. His ship gets hit and he spins off into space, unharmed. He survived. Sure, the Death Star gets destroyed, but evil Darth Vader gets to live another day. Even Frankenstein died at the end of every movie.
In retrospect, I understand now. Everyone was living to fight another day. It was the dawn of the trilogy. One movie that has to stand on its own, plot-wise, yet leave the door open for a second movie that won't.
But I loved the movie. Ran out and bought the soundtrack album (with a poster included), which is still tucked away somewhere, with the chewed off corner where the dog got it. I dutifully saw each episode. And every version televised since.
So, yes, I'll be seeing the new movie, fingers crossed that it'll be magic and the force lingers on.


How close can you get to eating real food?
Franziska Spritzler, a dietitian and diabetes educator, once wrote that to "maintain good health and high quality of life," one must follow a diet based on real food. And for her (and most dietitians), real food is an unprocessed, "single-ingredient food" which in my understanding are those that are still close to its natural state as it was harvested.
The problem in getting real food in the urban realm, however, is that there may still be a lot of organic markets in Metro Manila but they can rarely be found in business districts like Bonifacio Global City (BGC), which houses not only high-rise corporate buildings but also living spaces. How in this fast-paced lifestyle surrounded by fast-food and delivery services can you still get close to eating single-ingredient, unprocessed food?
An all-organic and local grocer called Real Food aims to solve that.
Real Food just opened its second branch at the ICON Showroom Building, 5th Ave. corner 25th Street, BGC, making their dairy-, gluten-, and preservative-free selections of food more accessible to both northerners and southerners. They opened first store at the Molito Lifestyle Mall in Muntinlupa City in 2016.
The store has the same farmhouse interiors—hardwood shelves, cascading lush greenery—like the ones in their Muntinlupa branch, only with bigger glass windows that fits well with BGC's cool, modern buildings.
Everything on sale are harvested and delivered daily to the stores by Real Food's partner farms from Tagaytay and Cavite. The owners also make sure that produce native in certain provinces will come directly from farmers in those areas, like fresh honeycomb from Bukidnon and tart raspberries from Mt. Banahaw between Laguna and Quezon.
They also encourage other local manufacturers to tap them for a partnership, specifically those who are advocates of eco-friendly lifestyles.
Real Food BGC is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The principle of non-intervention will govern Mexican foreign pol
Chancellor Marcelo Ebrard made clear that "no intervention does not mean passivity". Photo Courtesy
A redesign of its foreign policy based on the principle of nonintervention is the way in which Mexico tries to give "new answers" to a world that suffers "deep changes".
Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said at the opening of the XXX Meeting of Ambassadors and Consuls in Mexico City that, in order to achieve these answers, "we do not appeal only to tradition, but also to imagination.
Ebrard addressed members of the diplomatic service, lawmakers and business representatives at a meeting held from January 7 to 11. From the encounter will emerge the design that will mark the Mexican foreign policy during the presidential term of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
There he pointed out the general character of the international scene for these times. "We are in a global context with profound changes. Some very clear and very sharp, and others perhaps not so much, but they will have far-reaching implications", said the chancellor.
The intention of Mexico is to make its presence felt in aspects of great global relevance such as the protection of human rights, the enhancement of democratic values or the climate change.
"They are global causes we identify with. We also want to have close and productive bilateral relations with the greatest number of countries", stressed the Aztec foreign minister.
The complicated relationship with the United States was addressed under the following guidelines: "To think, to design and to apply" a "coexistence and correlation" policy, because the region "demands very difficult challenges today".
A "different relationship" must be established with the Asian countries, and with regard to Europe, it is necessary to go beyond the modernization of the Global Agreement.
Concerning the Middle East and Africa, Ebrard pointed out the need to "review the positioning" that Mexico may have with these world regions.
The chancellor explained that supported by the Mexican Constitution, the country will be governed from now on under the principles of non-intervention, peaceful resolution of conflicts and self-determination of peoples.
With these words, he refused to comment on Venezuela. Mexico did not sign the recent declaration of the Lima Group, which condemned the dictatorship in the South American country.
Ebrard, who describes himself as "optimistic but not naive", made clear that "no intervention does not mean passivity" referring to development plans for reducing migration to the north.
Hence the importance, according to his words, of generating "congruence" between causes defended inside and outside their borders through the application of concrete policies.
Keeping a "close relationship" with the business sector will be a key element for economic promotion abroad.
Special attention will be given to cultural aspects, innovation and scientific-technological development within this ambitious plan.
The Secretary of the Interior of Mexico, Olga Sanchez Cordero, stated the importance of the human rights perspective in the management of migration events.
Cordero highlighted the caravans of Central American migrants as an example for the application of these principles.
The human treatment of migrants will serve as a basis for government decisions concerning this aspect. In his words, "the policy of the Mexican Government will be based on a humanitarian vision. It assumes the inevitable need to consider the decisions that the Government of the United States will adopt about it".

N.J. Tobacco Settlement Holdouts Drop Appeal
The impasse blocking New Jersey's collection of its share of the $206 billion national tobacco settlement ended, as the lawyers who had held it up agreed to drop their appeals. Instead of getting what they wanted -- a certified acknowledgment of their contributions toward the pact -- Terry Bottinelli and Marc Saperstein had to settle for short mention in a press release.

"New, User-Centric" Monster Launches Today
By John Zappe January 10, 2009 July 23, 2015
The new Monster (profile; site) launches today.
Depending when you read this, the redesigned site that company officials promise puts the focus on the jobseeker may already be up and running. If not, give it time, a company spokesman said Friday afternoon. Launching a new site, especially one that is global, is not just a matter of flipping switches, he said.
Today's launch has been in the works for much of 2008. The date was picked at least as far back as October when Monster gave sneak previews at ERE Expo in Ft. Lauderdale. The company's presence at the show was unavoidable. Buttons touting 1.10.09 where everywhere. Showgoers lined up at the booth to see what was coming and, of course, to pick up one of the purple Monster beach towels or win a stuffed trumpasaurus.
What we saw of the new Monster showed a site that seemed as useful to passive jobseekers on their way up the career ladder as the current one is to active job-seekers. It has career planning tools that let a user compare their progress to others in their field, even in the same job at other companies. And like a good talent management system, the new Monster will show a user where the gaps are in their experience and background.
We certainly didn't get to see everything Monster had in the bag, but our tour guide, Eric Winegardner, VP of Client Adoption, promised that something like 90 percent of the user experience — recruiter, as well as seeker — was reworked, redesigned, or improved.
After you've walked through the new site, tell us what you think.

EFL U13 Girls Cup Competition Report
A fantastic afternoon was had at the Keepmoat with the U13 Girl's football team consisting of Georgia Campbell, Harriet Summerill, Evie Stone, Sofia Newbury, Megan Vickers, Ruby Duggan, Katie Liddle and Emily Taylor.
Ruby Duggan pulled off some fantastic saves in net to secure a 0-0 draw against Rossington in the first match. They then went on to beat Hall Cross 1-0 with a stunning strike from Sofia Newbury. A fantastic performance and improvement considering the heavy defeat they suffered a few weeks ago to the same team. Selby proved to be too strong in the next game, however, and the girl's suffered their first defeat of the tournament, losing 1-0. They didn't get their heads down though and bounced straight back, putting in a great performance against a strong Trinity team. After going 1-0 down in the first minute, some excellent defending from Evie Stone kept their main player quiet for the remainder of the game and allowed Harriet Summerill to go on and score the equaliser. The rounds finished with a 1-0 loss against Armthorpe A, a 2-0 win against Armthorpe B and a 3-2 win against Danum. 2 goals from Ruby Duggan, 2 more from Sofia Newbury and 1 from Emily Taylor meant the girl's progressed from the group stage into the semi finals. The girls battled hard in the rematch against Selby but unfortunately lost the game 3-2. Each and every one of them did themselves and the school proud. They gave 100% effort all day, demonstrated excellent teamwork and showed a real desire to keep improving! Well done!
