A WebMD study of stress in parents and children suggests many parents may not notice signs of stress in their children. When parents do recognize their children's stress, they often misattribute the stress to schoolwork challenges, even when the cause of the stress is closer to home.
Do Parents Recognize Their Children's Stress?
WebMD's 2015 Stress in Children Consumer Survey collected data from June 1 to July 31, surveying a total of 432 parents of children aged 5 to 13. The survey showed high levels of stress among parents, who rated their stress on a scale of 1 to 10. Fifty-seven percent reported their stress at a 7 or higher, and almost 1 in 5 parents said their stress was a 10.
Even though these parents reported high levels of stress, most did not think their kids were stressed. In fact, 60% percent of parents ranked their children's stress at a 4 or lower.
To analyze children's stress levels, the survey asked about behaviors associated with stress, such as arguing, crying, anxiety, and headaches. Seventy-two percent of parents reported their children had at least one symptom associated with stress during the last 12 months. Forty-four percent of children complained of headaches or stomachaches, and 38% said they experienced frequent nightmares or insomnia. Forty-three percent of parents said their children argued more than usual, and 37% reported an increase in crying or whining. These findings suggest that parents notice symptoms of stress in their children but may not attribute these symptoms to stress.
The array of stress-related symptoms reported by most children in the study indicate that kids often struggle with stress, even if their parents do not correctly identify their symptoms.
When asked about the sources of their children's stress, most parents (53%) said schoolwork and homework were key factors, and 51% said their children's friends caused stress. Yet 60% of survey respondents reported a stressful family event—such as a divorce, job loss, or death in the family—in the last year. This suggests much of children's stress may stem from difficulties at home.
Bullying may also play a role in children's stress levels. Thirty-eight percent of parents reported that their children experienced bullying, with 51% of those parents placing their children's stress levels between 8 and 10.
The American Psychological Association's Stress in America survey may help illuminate some causes of stress among older youth. During the school year, teens often report higher stress levels than adults, though 54% of teens say stress has little or no impact on their physical health, compared to 39% of adults.
Kids, School, and Worry … Oh, My!
It makes me very sad to realize that our kids are having to go through so many more emotional and heavy things than most of us ever had to deal with as children. There are so many great things in this world today but then there are other things that just continue to add more and more pressure to their plates and i am not sure how much more of that their little hearts can take. It just doesn't seem fair that we were allowed to have such idyllic childhoods and through the growth of whatever this is, our kids are in some ways being denied that.
I am thinking that many parents unfortunately turn a blind eye to the stress that the kids are feeling because they don't want to now how much the way that they press them causes the kids to have such a negative reaction.
What is causing all of this stress on the kids? I think that society is definitely going down the quite wrong path if our kids are really feeling like this all of the time.
I have noticed a trend that many kids are simply not allowed to be kids anymore. They have all of this responsibility at school and at home and then for extracurriculars and so there is no time left over for them to relax and just be a kid.
Stress at home can be the straw that breaks the camel's backs for the kids. They are not only getting inundated with work at school, there are now too many who have to come home to either very little parental support or homes that could be in upheaval from marriage troubles to financial woes. This is all a lot for any adult to have to bear, much less a child.
Look, our children are more stressed than ever before and yet we keep pressing them to do more and more things. It is not enough anymore to just be kids and make good grades- they have to do this after school and that on the weekends, and I am telling you, the less down time that they have they are going to more and more resemble the harried and stressed adults we work with every day. I want my kids to be laid back and get to enjoy their childhoods. Of course I want them to be a success, but I think that a big part of that future success is finding new things to be excited about and to live for. I think that those are the things that they can learn by being playful and imaginative as children.
Hi,i'd like to be known as snowflakes.I'm currently having a very big problem with my family.First of all,i'm sorry for the bad grammar i'm using because my english was not that good.So,i have been stressed since i was a kid and now i'm already 17.My dad was an alcoholic and i wouldn't lie that he used to abusive me back then.Basically he is a bad tempered person.While my mom she is so full of hatred.She won't never admit if ever she makes mistakes,she is so egoistic.I'm growing up seeing they fought using harshness and bad words,i'm scared.I'm tired of living in a negative life.My life is so full of negativity.They both have never thinking about my happiness.They are so selfish.They only cares of what other's talked about me.They only worried about their so called dignity as a businessman&a businesswoman.They have never really care about me,i was never been in any vacation with them.So i became a rebel teenager.I bleach my hair and had pierced at my nose and tongue.They was so ashamed of me.Urgh,i'm done.Help me.that's all i could type.

Shoot through Archery decoy. Also found on facebook, under Ultimate Predator. I submitted a video review as well.
Fantastic, realistic, functional , and light weight and reduces movements for that shot of a lifetime. Draws animals within range, or allows for close range stalks. Flourescent orange safety feature help make this best of all decoys I've found. Has a slot for your stabilizer to pass through.
I have used two of these the Antelope decoy and cow elk.
I am not sure the extra length or strap is needed. Attaches to bow limb on upper reach and near grip i think would suffice. As it is it has 3 points of contact with additional limb included. Not sure much else to improve upon, time will tell how durable they are but no complaints in two seasons of use so far.

Sunart, Moidart and Loch Sheil - even the names here have the tang of the heather and the isles in them!
Achleek Cottage occupies a glorious position on the Laudale estate on the south side of Loch Sunart, with wonderful views down the loch and across to the mountains of Moidart and Sunart on the other side.
The cottage was originally a tackman's house that has been refurbished to a very high standard. It is the cosiest and most welcoming of houses, which seems to fold itself round you as you enter.
The sitting room is light and bright with extensive comfortable seating and a warming open fire, in an impressive surround, that makes guests feel instantly at home. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped with appliances. Its size means there is plenty of room for the dining table in the centre. Also on this level is a useful drying area and equally handy WC.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, two doubles and a twin room. The master double bedroom has wonderful views over the loch and a large en suite bathroom. The arrangement of the other bedrooms is an interesting one with the comfortable and spacious twin having a connecting door to the second shower room, which it shares with the second small double bedroom. In terms both of situation and comfort, Achleek really is a hard act to follow.
It is an area rich in atmosphere and history. This was the heartland of Jacobite support for Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745 and it retains its air of haunting romance to this day.
There are few roads in the area (but lots of wonderful walking) and still less in the way of human settlements. The nearest and only village of any size is peaceful Strontian (3 miles, with shops, hotels and a restaurant), which is grouped around a green. In 1722, its lead mines, now long gone, yielded the first traces of the element strontium and gave the village its name.
From there, you can drive on to the very end of the Ardnamurchan peninsula, the westernmost tip of mainland Britain (with lighthouse), with its glorious beach at Sanna (36 miles) and boat trips from Kilchoan. However, if you do suffer from withdrawal symptoms for a bit of urban bustle and a supermarket, Fort William (with all facilities, a golf course and a leisure centre) is only 23 miles away by the Corran Ferry.
Glencoe, another haunting and sombre spot, is also 23 miles away by this route and offers many famous walks and climbs. To the north west, Arisaig (40 miles), in addition to its legendary silver sands, has a beautiful golf course above the shore.
Continuing past the house to the south west down Gleann Geal, you come to Lochaline (17 miles) where a little car ferry plies across to Fishnish on Mull, so a day visit to Iona is perfectly feasible. Loch fishing and deerstalking may also be available in the area.
Small double bedroom (width 4ft).
Bed linen and towels are INCLUDED. Electricity is INCLUDED. Heating is by electric central heating and open fire (initial supply of logs INCLUDED). Water is from a private source which is UV filtered and regularly tested; however (as is typical in many parts of Scotland) it can become discoloured, particularly after heavy rainfall. Guests may therefore prefer to bring bottled water to drink. A maximum of 2 dogs are welcome at an additional charge (2 large, 2 medium or 2 small). If you wish to bring any other pets please contact us and we will see what we can do. No smoking.
Enjoyed our stay ,pine martens at the door every night.
Amazing cottage and a beautiful location ! Really enjoyed being there did not want to come home !
Thks for a wonderful time.
We loved Achleek Cottage. The cottage was sparkling clean and very well equipped, and we felt immediately at home. The house and garden were very dog-friendly too. Highly recommended and I hope we have the chance to return one day.

The Emperor Wears No Clothes – Chapter 13
by Jack Herer
PREJUDICE:
Marijuana and the Jim Crow Laws
Since the abolition of slavery, racism and bigotry have generally had to manifest themselves in less blatant forms in America.
The cannabis prohibition laws illustrate again this institutional intolerance of racial minorities and show how prejudice is concealed behind rhetoric and laws which seem to have an entirely different purpose.
Smoking in America
The first known* smoking of female cannabis tops in the Western hemisphere was probably in the 1870s in the West Indies (Jamaica, Bahamas, Barbados, etc.); and arrived with the immigration of thousands of Indian Hindus (from British-controlled India) imported for cheap labor. By 1886, Mexicans and black sailors, who traded in those islands, picked up and spread its use throughout all the West Indies and Mexico.
*There are other theories about the first known "smoking" of hemp flower tops, e.g., by American and Brazilian slaves, Shawnee Indians, etc., some fascinating – but none verifiable.
Cannabis smoking was generally used in the West Indies to ease the back-breaking work in the cane fields, beat the heat, and to relax in the evenings without the threat of an alcohol hangover in the morning.
The jazz and swing music of "Negroes, Mexicans and entertainers" was declared an outgrowth of marijuana use.
Given its late 19th century area of usage – the Caribbean West Indies and Mexico – it is not surprising the first marijuana use recorded in the U.S. was by Mexicans in Brownsville, Texas in 1903. And the first marijuana prohibition law in America – pertaining only to Mexicans – was passed in Brownsville in that same year.
"Ganja" use was next reported in 1909 in the port of New Orleans, in the black dominated "Storeyville" section frequented by sailors.
New Orleans' Storeyville was filled with cabarets, brothels, music, and all the other usual accoutrements of "red light" districts the world over. Sailors from the islands took their shore leave and their marijuana there.
The Public Safety Commissioner of New Orleans wrote that, "marijuana was the most frightening and vicious drug ever to hit New Orleans," and in 1910 warned that regular users might number as high as 200 in Storeyville alone.
To the DA and Public Safety Commissioners and New Orleans newspapers from 1910 through the 1930s, marijuana's insidious evil influence apparently manifested itself in making the "darkies" think they were as good as "white men."
In fact, marijuana was being blamed for the first refusals of black entertainers to wear blackface* and for hysterical laughter by "negroes" under marijuana's influence when told to cross a street or go to the back of the trolley, etc.
*That's right; your eyes have not deceived you. Because of a curious quirk in the "Jim Crow" (segregation) laws, black Americans were banned from any stage in the Deep South (and most other places in the North and West also). "Negroes" had to wear (through the 1920s) blackface – (like Al Jolson wore when he sang "Swanee") – a dye which white entertainers wore to resemble or mimic black people. Actually, by "Jim Crow" law, blacks were not allowed on the stage at all, but because of their talent were allowed to sneak/enter through back doors, put on blackface, and pretend to be a white person playing the part of a black person…
…and all that Jazz
In New Orleans, whites were also concerned that black musicians, rumored to smoke marijuana, were spreading (selling) a very powerful (popular) new "voodoo" music that forced even decent white women to tap their feet and was ultimately aimed at throwing off the yoke of the whites. Today we call that new music… jazz!
Blacks obviously played upon the white New Orleans racists' fears of "voodoo" to try to keep whites out of their lives. Jazz's birthplace is generally recognized to be Storeyville, New Orleans, home of original innovators: Buddy Bohler, Buck Johnson and others (1909-1917). Storeyville was also the birthplace of Louis Armstrong* (1900).
*In 1930 – one year after Louis Armstrong recorded "Muggles" (read: "marijuana") – he was arrested for a marijuana cigarette in Los Angeles and put in jail for 10 days until he agreed to leave California and not return for two years.
Mexicans under marijuana's influence were demanding humane treatment, looking at white women, asking that their children be educated while the parents harvested sugar beets and making other "insolent" demands.
American newspapers, politicians, and police had virtually no idea, for all these years (until the 1920s, and then only rarely), that the marijuana the "darkies" and "Chicanos" were smoking in cigarettes or pipes was just a weaker version of the many familiar concentrated cannabis medicines they'd been taking since childhood, or that the same drug was smoked legally at the local "white man's" plush hashish parlors.
White racists wrote articles and passed city and state "marijuana" laws without this knowledge for almost two decades, chiefly because of "Negro/Mexican" vicious "insolence"* under the effect of marijuana.
*Vicious Insolence: Between 1884 and 1900, 3,500 documented deaths of black Americans were caused by lynchings; between 1900 and 1917, over 1,100 were recorded. The real figures were undoubtedly higher. It is estimated that one-third of these lynchings were for "insolence," which might be anything from looking (or being accused of looking) at a white woman twice, to stepping on a white man's shadow, even to looking a white man directly in the eye for more than three seconds; for not going directly to the back of the trolley, and other "offenses."
It was obvious to whites, marijuana caused "Negro" and Mexican "viciousness" or they wouldn't dare be "insolent"; etc…
Hundreds of thousands of "Negroes" and Chicanos were sentenced from 10 days to 10 years mostly on local and state "chain gangs" for such silly crimes as we have just listed.
This was the nature of "Jim Crow" laws until the 1950s and '60s; the laws Martin Luther King, the NAACP, and general public outcry have finally begun remedying in America.
We can only imagine the immediate effect the black entertainers' refusal to wear blackface had on the white establishment, but seven years later, 1917, Storeyville was completely shut down. Apartheid had its moment of triumph.
No longer did the upright, uptight white citizen have to worry about white women going to Storeyville to listen to "voodoo" jazz or perhaps be raped by its marijuana-crazed "black adherents" who showed vicious disrespect (insolence) for whites and their "Jim Crow Laws" by stepping on their (white men's) shadows and the like when they were high on marijuana.
Black musicians then took their music and marijuana up the Mississippi to Memphis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, etc., where the (white) city fathers, for the same racist reasons, soon passed local marijuana laws to stop "evil" music and keep white women from falling prey to blacks through jazz and marijuana.
Mexican-Americans
In 1915, California and Utah passed state laws outlawing marijuana for the same "Jim Crow" reasons – but directed through the Hearst papers at Chicanos.
Colorado followed in 1917. Its legislators cited excesses of Pancho Villa's rebel army, whose drug of choice was supposed to have been marijuana. (If true, this means that marijuana helped to overthrow one of the most repressive, evil regimes Mexico ever suffered.)
The Colorado Legislature felt the only way to prevent an actual racial blood bath and the overthrow of their (whites') ignorant and bigoted laws, attitudes and institutions was to stop marijuana.
Mexicans under marijuana's influence were demanding humane treatment, looking at white women, and asking that their children be educated while the parents harvested sugar beets; and making other "insolent" demands. With the excuse of marijuana (Killer Weed), the whites could now use force and rationalize their violent acts of repression.
This "reefer racism" continues into the present day. In 1937, Harry Anslinger told Congress that there were between 50,000 to 100,000* marijuana smokers in the U.S., mostly "Negroes and Mexicans, and entertainers," and their music, jazz and swing, was an outgrowth of this marijuana use. He insisted this "satanic" music and the use of marijuana caused white women to "seek sexual relations with Negroes!"
*Anslinger would have flipped to know that one day there would be 26 million daily marijuana users and another 30-40 million occasional users in America, and that rock 'n' roll and jazz are now enjoyed by tens of millions who have never smoked marijuana.
South Africa Today
In 1911, South Africa* began the outlawing of marijuana for the same reasons as New Orleans: to stop insolent blacks! White South Africa, along with Egypt, led the international fight (League of Nations) to have cannabis outlawed worldwide.
*South Africa still allowed its black mine workers to smoke dagga (marijuana) in the mines, though. Why? Because they were more productive!
In fact, in that same year, South Africa influenced southern U.S. legislators to outlaw cannabis (which many black South Africans revered as "dagga," their sacred herb). Many South Africans' American business headquarters were in New Orleans at the time.
This is the whole racial and religious (Medieval Catholic Church) basis out of which our laws against hemp arose. Are you proud?
Sixteen million years so far have been spent in jails, prisons, parole and on probation by Americans for this absurd, racist, and probably economic reasoning. (See Chapter 4, "Last Days of Legal Cannabis.")
Isn't it interesting that in 1985 the U.S. incarcerated a larger percentage of people than any country in the world except South Africa? In 1989 the U.S. surpassed South Africa, and the 1997 incarceration rate was almost four times that of South Africa. Now, in 2007, there are over 2.2 million people incarcerated in the U.S.
President Bush Sr., in his great drug policy speech of September 5, 1989, promised to double the federal prison population again, after it had already doubled under Reagan. He succeeded. In 1993, President Bill Clinton planned to redouble the number of prisoners again by 1996. He did.
Remember the outcry in 1979 when former UN Ambassador Andrew Young told the world that the U.S. had more political prisoners than any other nation?
(Amnesty International, ACLU.) Also, see Appendix: "Fighting the Police State."
Lasting Remnants
Even though blackface disappeared as law in the late 1920s, as late as the 1960s, black entertainers (such as Harry Belafonte and Sammy Davis, Jr.) still had to go in the back door of theatrical establishments, bars, etc; by law!
They couldn't rent a hotel room in Las Vegas or Miami Beach – even while being the headline act.
Ben Vereen's 1981 Presidential Inauguration performance for Ronald Reagan presented this country's turn-of-the-century Blackface/Jim Crow laws in a great story about black comic genius Bert Williams (circa 1890 to 1920).
Vereen had been invited to perform for the Reagan Inauguration and had accepted only on the condition that he could tell the entire "Blackface" story – but the whole first half of Vereen's show, depicting Bert Williams and blackface, was censored by Reagan's people on ABC TV, contrary to the special agreement Vereen had with them.

Other additional scenes reportedly include Cooper's character singing "Too Far Gone" in a studio and Lady Gaga singing "Is That Alright" at the couple's on-screen wedding. Despite reports of this new extended version having an alternate ending, the main plot points remain unchanged.
Haven't yet seen "A Star Is Born" and want to know what the hype is about? Here's what you need to know: Cooper co-wrote and made his directorial debut with this highly praised remake. At one point, the movie was reportedly supposed to star Beyonce, with Clint Eastwood behind the camera. But the timing didn't work out. Beyonce bowed out of the film after getting pregnant, and Eastwood moved on to another project.
That left Cooper to take the reins of the project as both star and director. Cooper hired Lady Gaga to co-star as an aspiring singer who falls in love with his country music star character. The film follows the couple as they navigate the ups and downs of their relationship while coping with the pitfalls of newfound celebrity.
Check out the original trailer below:
"A Star Is Born" was first released in October 2018 and grossed over $425 million. Considering that it reportedly only cost $36 million to make, this means that the film has already been a huge financial success. So, it's not really surprising that the studio wants to bring it back.
Will you go see the extended version of "A Star Is Born" in theaters?

It has been an absolute pearler of a day today, and I've clocked a few more km (went to buy beer for watching the All Blacks v Pumas tonight), so have now done just over 1000 km.
Yet another good reason not to live north of Bombay. I had my first service on the Thruxton done for free, labour and materials!
Fortunately, I live out in the wops and mostly avoid Auckland like the plague, absolutely hate having to go and do battle with idiot drivers and constant traffic lights.
Congrats, it only gets better!
Same price as for my Speedmaster 1200, just extra for gloves and socks (love the quality of the branded gear, but $$$). Hard to get first service free after you negotiate the purchase price to the bone.
We have a New Zealand suburb of Derby here in the land locked East Midlands.
Sadly it isn't recognised or frequented by the great All Blacks, however it does have it's fair share of idiot drivers and traffic lights in common.
Never knew that and had to google it to see images of the area.
Do people actually live there? And if so, why?
I know little about the area but do know that in the neighbouring California district of the city is an excellent pub,The Rowditch Inn.
New Zealand and California are near neighbours over here!

La Bolivia sotto Inquisizione
Martin Jelsma (Transnational Institute, Amsterdam) racconta per la rubrica di Fuoriluogo sul Manifesto del 20 luglio 2011 la crociata contro la Bolivia avviata dall'INCB dell'ONU. L'articolo in versione integrale su www.fuoriluogo.it.
Coca is not Cocaine
Thomas Grisaffi, Fellow in the Department of Social Anthropology
On June 22nd under instruction from President Evo Morales (an ex-coca grower and leader of Bolivia's powerful coca federation), Bolivia's congress voted to withdraw from the 1961 UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. The government's decision to step out of the most important international legal framework for drug control generated unease in international government and policy circles. Opposition parties in Bolivia responded to the news by claiming that the government had caved into pressure from drug traffickers. Meanwhile The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime classified the decision as 'worrying'. Contrary to these voices the Bolivian government has very good reasons to abandon the convention.
Bolivia drops out of UN drug pact to protect its coca chewers
Bolivia has presented a denunciation to the UN that seals its resignation from the United Nations 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which bans chewing the coca leaf.
Bolivia and the international drug control regime
Adam Isacson
Bolivia has denounced the International Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which bans the traditional practice of chewing coca leaf. Adam talks with Martin Jelsma, who coordinates the Drugs and Democracy Program at the Amsterdam-based Transnational Institute.
Treaty guardians in distress
The guardian of the UN drug control treaties has proved unable to respond in a rational manner to the need for radical reform of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.
Bolivia's legal reconciliation with the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs
On 29 June 2011, the Bolivian government denounced the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs as amended by the 1972 Protocol, indicating its intention to re-accede with a reservation allowing for the traditional use of the coca leaf. This decision was triggered by Bolivia's need to balance its obligations under the international drug control system with its constitutional and other international legal commitments. The move follows the rejection of Bolivia's proposal to amend the Single Convention by deleting the obligation to abolish coca leaf chewing (Article 49) earlier this year.

INCB Regrets Bolivia's Denunciation of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs
The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) regrets the decision by the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia to denounce the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, as amended by the 1972 Protocol. On 29 June 2011, in an unprecedented step, the Government of Bolivia denounced the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, as amended by the 1972 Protocol, to which the State of Bolivia had previously acceded. The Government also announced its intention to re-accede to this Convention but with a reservation regarding specific treaty provisions.

Saint Genevieve of Paris and Loving Your Place
May 2, 2018 / annahistorian
Who feels like home to you? When you go into the hardware store in your hometown, is George always at the counter? Is it memories of your grandmother on the porch with a bowl of peas to shell? Is it the announcer at the ballpark, who made each game memorable? Is it the yia-yia who stands in the same corner every week in church, praying with gentle determination for the new generation darting behind her skirts?
St. Genevieve of Paris
For any devout Parisian, St. Genevieve is their grandmother, guarding over their city like a broody hen. Throughout time and in nearly every place Orthodox Christianity has put down roots, there are saints who join themselves with a place as firmly as the bedrock. Some are in the world, either in aristocracy or as ordinary folk, and some take the monastic tonsure, as St. Genevieve. They know in their hearts, that come what may, their service to God is to love and serve Him and His people in this place, in life and in their repose.
St. Genevieve is a foundational saint in the Church of northern France, being less than two generations removed from the first bishop and martyr of Paris, St. Denis (Dionysius). Her venerable life spanned the most tumultuous years of the post-Roman era, from 419 – 512. Born to Christian parents, she was dedicated at a young age to Christ through the blessing of Bishop St. Germain, who laid his hand on her head when she was eight and asked if she wished to consecrate herself to which she gave her assent. Her mother, however, upon learning of this, became very angry and struck Genevieve and went immediately blind. Only when Genevieve forgave her mother and prayed, did the woman regain her sight.
When she was fifteen, Genevieve and several other young women presented themselves to the Bishop of Paris to receive their tonsure. The Bishop, instead of tonsuring the most senior of the women, began with Genevieve.The women dwelt with Genevieve at her grandmother's spacious house in Paris, thus beginning the monastic tradition in the city. She was known to only eat twice a week and to pray during the night. She continued these ascetic labors until old age and infirmity decreased her austerity. Word spread of her miracles and asceticism so that even St. Symeon the Stylite heard of her exploits.
St. Genevieve worked relentlessly and bravely for the well-being and safety of her people. In 451, Attila the Hun threatened invasion of Paris. St. Genevieve and St. Germain's deacon persuaded the Parisians to not flee the city but to pray. It was claimed that she took a torch and her sisters to the city walls as a witness and the would-be invaders turned away soon after. Again, in 464, Childeric besieged and blockaded the city. St. Genevieve passed through enemy lines untouched and brought in grain for the people. She repeatedly reasoned with both Childeric and with Clovis for peace, with the latter eventually building an abbey for Genevieve and her sisters.
Another way St. Genevieve showed devotion to the Church in France was through building the first chapel dedicated to St. Denis and honoring other Gaulic saints. The Bishop objected to the idea since there was no more limestone left in the nearest quarry. Genevieve told the Bishop that this was not so and the chapel should be built. A few days later, the deacons overheard shepherds at the bridge saying they had found another source of limestone. Genevieve and her sisters also made pilgrimages to Tours to venerate the relics of St. Martin the Wonderworker.
Her earthly pilgrimage ended in her repose in 512, at around age 93. This is not the end of her ministry to the Church in Paris. Her relics were kept in the Basilica of St. Denis until the French revolutionaries burned and dumped them into the Seine in 1793. Afterwards, other remains were gathered together from various churches and interred at Saint Etienne du Mont. Her feast day is January 3rd.
The following is a story related from Metropolitan Anthony Bloom, regarding how St. Genevieve welcomed Russian emigres to Paris and asked for their intercession and veneration:
In one of our poorest and smallest communities in Paris a woman saw a dream that she was somewhere in the thickets near a wood, that she was impelled to look at what there was within it; she found a gate, walked further and was confronted with the statue of a woman, who was holding in her hands a book and a sheaf of wheat, and this woman looked at her in sorrow and said: How is it that the people of my city, who share my faith pay me no honour. The woman awoke, there was no name she could attach to the vision; she spoke of it, but she had no answer, until a few weeks later, going to a small place not far from Paris, called Sainte Genevieve des Bois, she recognised the place of her dream, the thicket; she entered it, found a gate and was confronted with the same statue, but this time an inscription revealed to her it was Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris together with Saint Denis. And she brought the news, and in our small community we began to pray to her, later we created a parish in her name, and this was the beginning of French Orthodoxy.
This opened, our minds, and our hearts to something which we had overlooked, because having lost our Country and all we loved we had a tendency to be (ingrained) in our Russian life, remembering only our Russian ancestry, both spiritual and material, the country we loved, the people who were our kin, and the saints who were the glory of Russia. And now we suddenly became aware that we had come into the West, not in a part of the world that was strange and alien to us but in a part of the world which for nearly a thousand years had shared with us the same faith, the same plenitude of oneness, the same joy of belonging together with all the Christian world. We began then to pay attention to the saints of the West and. in all countries now this awareness has grown and when we come to a country of the Western world., we know that beyond a thousand years of separation we meet the memory, the prayers, the names and the presence of those Saints of Orthodoxy who are and were its glory, its resplendence before God, we come to our own people; and this is something which is so wonderful and for which we are so deeply grateful. We are no strangers in this land, thousands and thousands of men and women have shared our faith; we are strangers in no land because the oneness of the Church hundreds of years ago unbroken make us the kin of those who are their resplendence and their glory.
Many of my readers are first generation Orthodox Christians, either in their place or in their families or both. Some of us have been in the founding stages of mission parishes and seen them grow into consecrated churches. I fit into both categories. My onus is, "My faithfulness contributes to this foundation and will it be strong enough for future generations to build upon?" This is a difficult thing to ponder as 'missionaries', when what we see now are temporary buildings, small bank accounts, and every precious convert to shepherd.
Those who live in places where Orthodoxy has deep roots, even to the beginning of the Church, your question may be framed, "Will the faith endure after me, with what I do now?" Even the mightiest oak can fall in the next storm.
We all have the same responsibility of Christians at any time and any place – the faith endures because of us! Perhaps we can be those saints who loved their small patch of land and people so deeply that our memory calls out to the future and welcomes in those who are bereft of both.

B Vitamins that ACTUALLY Work for Anxiety
Natural health remedies are a popular choice for those that are looking to improve upon their mental health issues without medicine. Few people want to deal with the time and effort of therapy, and fewer still want to use the medicinal treatments that are not only prescribed extremely fast in today's medicine-oriented community - they also have a lot of side effects.
Many believe that vitamins and nutrition are the key to improving anxiety. That's because deficiencies in important vitamins appear to precipitate anxiety symptoms, so it is possible that improving our intake of these vitamins should have the opposite effect and decrease the amount of anxiety we experience.
There's some good news and bad news. The good news is that if you are deficient in any vitamin, such as B-Vitamins, it's likely that adding these nutrients to your diet (in terms of supplements or in food) can potentially decrease your anxiety symptoms. The bad news is that B-Vitamins only work for a select group of people, depending on their nutritional intake.
Vitamins Are Not Medicine - But They Can Work
Natural health enthusiasts have been promoting the idea of vitamins alone as a treatment for anxiety in years. Sometimes there is a benefit. There is some early evidence that magnesium supplements may help with anxiety, for example. There is also some belief that a proper diet is may be useful for coping with stress. But taking vitamin supplements may not work for everyone, and simply adding vitamins to your diet may not have much of an effect.
The reason that most vitamins have little effect on your anxiety is simple: when your body doesn't need the vitamin, it usually removes them. This is true of Vitamin B, Vitamin C, and several minerals. Your digestive system is unlikely to keep nutrients it doesn't need. Instead, it turns them into waste, and you expel them every time you go to the bathroom.
Some vitamins and minerals, like calcium, do build up in the body. But usually, this is considered a bad thing - not a good thing. Too much Vitamin A, for example, can become toxic.
That is why some experts believe it may actually be harmful to frequently consume vitamins that you do not need. If you are going to add vitamins to your diet, you first need to be selective - talk to your doctor, and try to understand what your dietary needs may be. That is the case with B-Vitamins - a common vitamin that is often recommended on several blogs and natural health websites for those with anxiety.
Exploring B-Vitamins and Anxiolytic Benefits
In order to find out which vitamins may have an effect on anxiety, you need to explore the research for what's known as the "anxiolytic" effect, which translates to "anti-anxiety" effect. An anxiolytic vitamin is going to be a vitamin that appears to have anti-anxiety properties when given in higher doses to those that do not already have a deficiency in the vitamin.
B-Vitamins are one of the most commonly linked vitamins to reducing anxiety. Many natural health "experts" online argue that these vitamins are powerful tools for anxiety relief, and that supplementation can cure or reduce your anxiety symptoms. Rather than listening to what people say online, the best thing to do is go to the research and see what studies have to say about the anxiolytic properties of B-Vitamins.
For a study to be considered viable for this exercise, it is going to have to show the following:
Be completed by an unbiased researcher.
Show a strong sample size.
Use a control group.
Be tested on those with anxiety or severe stress.
So let's look at the following B-Vitamins and see if the research argues that a larger dose could show anxiolytic effects. The following are all of the vitamins that are still considered vitamins (some, like B4, are no longer considered vitamins in the Vitamin B complex).
Vitamin B1 – Thiamine
Thiamine affects nerve function, and plays a role in the creation of energy and DNA. A study in Vietnam did appear to link Thiamine intake to an improvement in anxiety levels for those with generalized anxiety disorder. However, when looking at the study further, it appears that it only involved 9 people, all nine were low in thiamine, they were all over the age of 50, and there was no control group. That means the study is not credible.
There do not appear to be any other studies that link thiamine to a reduction in anxiety or stress, with the exception of those that are thiamine deficient. Yet not enough research has been completed.
Verdict: Totally Unsubstantiated
Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin
Riboflavin is linked to energy production and oxidation of fatty acids. Many claim that Riboflavin may reduce the symptoms of stress, and that higher doses of riboflavin could improve immune system function, which may reduce "stress." However, it should be noted that it does not reduce mental health-related stress. Instead, it reduces oxidative stress, which is unrelated.
It's unclear if there is any benefit to an improved immune system on anxiety. Stress itself weakens the immune system as a response to a release of stress hormones. It seems unlikely that boosting the immune system will reduce stress levels.
Riboflavin has been linked to a reduction in migraines, so it's conceivable that if anxiety is causing your migraines that riboflavin could have some benefit, but the likelihood of that is slim to none. .
Verdict: No Evidence
Vitamin B3 – Niacin
Niacin can actually be derived from tryptophan, so consuming niacin itself may not even be necessary to ensure you're not deficient. However, niacin cannot be stored, so deficiency is possible. Niacin plays a role in your skin health, conversion of energy from carbohydrates, and possibly cholesterol production.
Many natural health supporters claim niacin produces serotonin, or plays a role in serotonin production. This does not appear to be true. Rather, tryptophan – an amino acid – is used by the body to create both niacin and serotonin. Niacin has also been partnered with other drugs because it appears to cross the blood brain barrier, but there is currently no research that confirms that niacin alone has any anxiolytic properties.
Verdict: Not known to Affect Anxiety
Vitamin B5 – Pantothenic Acid
Pantothenic Acid is one of the lesser known B-Vitamins to the average individual, as it is not commonly used as a natural health supplement. But it's still an important one. It plays a role in the creation of the acetylcholine neurotransmitters, oxidizes fatty acids, and more. It also produces CoEnzyme-A.
It's rare to be deficient in B5. The name itself translates almost literally to "from everywhere" because it's found in nearly every type of food.
While Pantothenic Acid may help with a variety of unfortunate and painful conditions, it does not appear to play any role in anxiety or stress whatsoever.
Verdict: No known benefit
Vitamin B6 – Pyridoxine
Pyridoxine synthesizes neurotransmitters and amino acids, and cannot be stored in the body.
There is currently no research on whether or not Pyridoxine has any anxiolytic effects. But a study on monkeys did find that an increase in Pyridoxine appeared to increase serotonin levels. It also appeared to decrease anxiety in those with premenstrual syndrome, and a deficiency in B6 appeared to increase psychological stress in grieving men.
Verdict: Plausible, But More Research Needed.
Vitamin B7 – Biotin
Biotin is a vitamin that helps process and metabolize lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. It's essential for transferring carbon dioxide, and may help prevent diabetes.
It's unlikely that biotin helps improve anxiety because excess amounts of biotin are produced on a daily basis in the intestines by bacteria. Every day you have more biotin than your body traditionally needs. It is unclear if Biotin supplementation would improve anxiety levels.
Vitamin B9 – Folic Acid
Folic Acid, or "Folate," is a vitamin that needs to be consumed in food. Folate helps synthesize DNA, repair DNA, and prevent anemia. Folic acid deficiency is still fairly rare in most Western diets.
Folic acid does have a variety of useful purposes, and doctors may recommend folic acid supplementation. Studies have found that folic acid deficiency may lead to anxiety and depression, and some studies claim that folic acid may reduce depression when taken in conjunction with vitamin B12.
Verdict: Possible Effect on Anxiety
Vitamin B12 - Cobalamin
Vitamin B12 is the most promising of all of the B-Vitamins.
Vitamin B12 plays a role in the development of anemia, nerve disorders, and cognitive deficits. Its status as one of the B vitamins that affects the brain and nerves the most has made it a popular choice of supplements for those trying to treat their anxiety with Vitamin B. B12 is also difficult to absorb in the elderly so it's a popular supplement choice for those over 55.
Deficiency can lead to mood problems, including depression and anxiety. It can affect nerve tissue and affect memory. There are also a few studies that indicate that low B12 levels are more common than previously believed and may have an effect on mental health even if they don't reach the point of deficiency.
Several studies have shown that B12 may be helpful for those suffering from depression, including one study conveniently titled: "High vitamin B12 level and good treatment outcome may be associated in major depressive disorder."
Verdict: Possible Benefits on Anxiety.
Overall Impressions of the B-Vitamins and Anxiety Reduction
Anecdotally, many people struggling with anxiety have noted that they have seen a decrease in their anxiety levels after taking B-Vitamin Complex. But it is more likely to be an example of the placebo effect. There is not yet any research indicating that B-Vitamins reduce anxiety.
It would be useful if more research was conducted. There is a lack of true studies that control successfully for B-Vitamin's effects on anxiety symptoms. However, it's not advised to simply start taking B-Vitamins and hope that they improve anxiety. There is currently no reason to believe it will have much benefit.

Phyllanthus urinaria Linnea is commonly used in folk medicine with considerable therapeutic utility. Sixteen phenols of Phyllanthus urinaria were isolated from ethanol extract and their structures were identified by spectroscopic data. Oxygen radical absorbance capacity, radical scavenging assay and HBsAg and HBeAg ELISA kits were used to evaluate antioxidant and antiviral activities. All the isolates showed significant antioxidant activity. Especially, isolates 4 and 5 had the oxygen radical absorbance capacity of 5.12 and 8.13 U/mol and strong radical scavenging activity with IC50 values of 5.50 and 5.55 μM, respectively. Additionally, these studies also demonstrated that the compounds 1, 2, 11, 12, and 16 inhibited secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg in HepG2.2.15 cells. This study suggested that the phenolic constituents of Phyllanthus urinaria possessed antioxidant activities and these might play an important role in antihepatitic effects.

Contribution of lowered unsaturation levels of chloroplast lipids to high temperature tolerance of photosynthesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Norihiro Sato, Kintake Sonoike, Akihiko Kawaguchi, Mikio Tsuzuki*
A mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii designated as hf-9 is impaired in fatty acid desaturation of chloroplasts, and showed lowered unsaturation levels of chloroplast lipids, as compared with the parent. The effects of temperature on photosynthesis were compared between hf-9 and the parent for investigation whether or not unsaturation levels of chloroplast lipids are correlated with the thermal properties of photosynthesis. Growth rates determined by turbidity were higher in the parent than in hf-9 at both 10 and 24°C, while similar for the parent and hf-9 at 39°C. The cells grown at 24°C revealed that both activities of CO2-dependent oxygen evolution acid photosystem II were higher in the parent than in hf-9 in the range between 7 and 40°C. In contrast, hf-9 surpassed the parent in both activities at 45°C. Optimal temperatures for both activities were at around 35°C and 40°C in the parent and hf-9, respectively. Incubation of the cells at 41 and 45°C demonstrated that the activity of photosystem II in hf-9 was more tolerant to the high temperatures than that in the parent. These results suggest that lowered unsaturation levels of chloroplast lipids contributed to high temperature tolerance of photosystem II, and eventually to that of photosynthesis.

What Is a Bail Bond Hearing?
By: Jackie Lohrey
What is a PR Bail Bond?
What Happens at a Felony Arraignment?
What Happens at a Probable Cause Hearing?
What Is a Court Arraignment?
A bail bond hearing is a court appearance during which the defendant asks the judge to release him from police custody pending the outcome of a criminal case. A first bail hearing may be part of an initial hearing in which formal charges are presented -- also called an arraignment -- or be separate from other legal proceedings. For example, a judge might only schedule bond hearings on Wednesday and Friday mornings each week. If the hearing is included in arraignment proceedings, state laws vary on the exact time frame, but typically require that it take place within 48 to 72 hours following an arrest.
Procedures and Bail Considerations
A bail hearing starts with a defense attorney making a request to release the accused either on his own recognizance or for a specific dollar amount, and offering evidence to support the request. The prosecution will then either agree with the request or offer an alternative request along with supporting evidence. Finally, the judge will render a decision and set the amount if bail is granted.
The burden of proof is on the accused. In considering whether to grant or deny the request and set an appropriate bail, a judge will look at a number of factors, including
The type and severity of the pending charge or charges
The defendant's prior criminal history
Whether the defendant has close family and community ties
The defendant's employment situation and financial resources
Setting Bail
A judge doesn't set bail randomly. Instead, she uses a bail schedule as a reference point. According to Nolo, the starting point for felony offenses is usually about five to 10 times the standard bail required for misdemeanors. For example, if the standard bail for misdemeanor possession of marijuana is $1,000, a starting point for setting bail for possession of marijuana with intent to sell might range from $5,000 to $10,000.
In addition to setting a dollar amount, a judge often imposes certain restrictions as conditions for bail. Curfew is a common restriction. Others include refraining from possessing firearms, using alcohol or drugs, or contacting the plaintiff. The defendant might also have to check in regularly with a legal authority.
Common Issues with Bail Bonds
Amendment VIII of the U.S. Constitution protects a defendant against excessive bail. Even so, a judge might intentionally set excessively high bail to keep the defendant in custody. In a case such as this, or in a case where bail is not excessive but still unaffordable, a defendant can request a bail reduction hearing. In the same way, the prosecution can file a motion to appeal a bail decision and increase the amount or increase bail conditions.
Again, the burden of proof is on the defendant. Evidence must show that the charges are not as severe as originally alleged or that the current bail is unaffordable.

Somebody really wants that picture with Fanale gone
If you want to know why Watchdog practices the old American tradition of anonymous criticism of the rich and powerful it's because the rich and powerful in a small and corrupt place like Sussex County can really mess up your life if they have a mind to. Sussex County is a place that deals in rumors and gives life to gossip -- and gossip that is meant to destroy people.
Yesterday we commented on a column written on a website that is in competition with us. We complemented the piece and the writer, but also noted that the accompanying photograph had been removed and a cropped version posted in its place. The removed photograph featured a group shot with some prominent locals and David Fanale. the controversial former Franklin Councilman. Standing side by side with Fanale was Sussex County Freeholder George Graham, who also works as a political consultant.
Within hours of it being posted, the writer of the original column was accusing a competitor of consultant Graham of owning this website. We wonder who gave her that information?
A few years ago, whenever a blog published a truth that made life uneasy for the rich and powerful in Sussex County, they blamed some guy from southern New Jersey. Then he died, so now they blame this new guy.
The joke is on the blamers. They could organize a protest and parade stark naked around his house beating on their tin hats and blowing little horns and that guy wouldn't be able to do a thing for them. Because this is not his website. He doesn't own Watchdog. Doesn't control it. Doesn't have the passwords. So if you are going to call yourself a journalist, don't buy into the gossip, especially from a competitor in the same business.
The New Jersey Herald broke an important story today. It is about the corruption at the heart of politics in this county. A former Freeholder and current Trustee of the county college was caught voting to give a contract to a for-profit engineering business he is involved with. He admits he's involved and admits he has a title and even has business cards, but says he doesn't take any compensation. What's up?
It looks like he's a vendor's lobbyist in the vast, unregulated field of lobbying county and municipal governments, and so called "independent" agencies. As to if he really isn't getting paid for it, well, he could be applying for sainthood.
Here's a tip for the Herald. This vendor's lobbyist has had a lot of contact with state, county, and local offices on behalf of the for-profit engineering business you named and other for-profit enterprises. So OPRA away. You'll get there. When you do, and if you do it right, you might find yourselves in line for an award... or at least able to write the sequel to "The Soprano State".

We all know that interest rates were destined to rise and the warnings have been out for some time now. The new mortgage rules, designed to cusion the blow of higher rates, also take effect next week on April 19th.
Royal Bank of Canada the country's largest bank, has raised mortgage rates again. The move, which will result in a 0.25 percentage point increase in the cost of a number of fixed rate products that the bank offers, is likely to spark another round of rate hikes among the country's mortgage lenders. RBC kicked off one series of hikes a little more than two weeks ago, and most experts said that was the start of a steady rise in mortgage rates. At that time the cost of a five-year closed rate mortgage from RBC and many of its competitors rose by 0.60 percentage points to 5.85%.
So, there it is. The climb to higher rates has seemingly started. If you are thinking of securing a mortgage anytime soon, NOW is the time to get a locked in pre-approval in place.


Since TMZ broke the news of singer Demi Lovato's hospitalization following an apparent overdose on Tuesday, countless fans and celebrities have shared their support for the singer, who recently implied that she'd broken six years of sobriety in her newly released single, "Sober." Among those loving messages is a powerful statement from Ariana Grande's mother, Joan Grande.
"I am knocked down, over Demi, I hope and pray that she recovers quickly and finds sobriety again.. it is work, hard work, but with support and love, she will succeed," read the letter Grande tweeted on Wednesday. "I know it, we are there for her in any way, .. she is a sweet, kind person, who has in my personal experience always shown love to everyone in my world."
Grande also acknowledged Lovato's role in her children's lives, thanking the singer for helping Frankie through his sobriety journey and for supporting Ariana in her music career, before encouraging readers to "try to be nice to everyone."
"Try not to find your own self-worth by knocking down others," she continued. "You never know, if you share love and light, that just may give you the self-worth you are desperately looking for."
Mama Grande's messages of empathy and compassion seem to have resonated with her daughter, whose song "The Light Is Coming" is all about finding the light within to overcome the negativity so often found in the outside world.
A spokesperson for the LAPD declined to comment on whether Lovato had been using drugs when reached by Refinery29.

The McLaren F1 Owners Club held a rally May 30th to June 1st, 2014 in the Tuscany region of Italy. A total of 18 McLaren F1 models participated in the three-day tour, of which six were the GTR racing variant and 12 were road cars. In addition, the Tour was supported by McLaren P1, 12C and 650S road cars.
The McLaren F1 is considered by many to be one of the greatest cars of all time. Launched at a price of £540,000 in 1994, over the course of the next four years 64 F1, five F1 LM and three F1 GT road cars were produced, together with 28 F1 GTR race cars. An additional six prototypes were also produced. Its exclusivity, technical innovation, racing provenance, revolutionary packaging and driving experience have made it an icon. So potent was the F1 that it's still the fastest normally aspirated production road car in the world.
In 1998, with a total of 106 of all variants built and its production run complete, the McLaren F1 went on to achieve its greatest feat outside competitive motorsport. McLaren development and race driver Andy Wallace took XP5, the fifth and final prototype F1 with some 45,000 hard test miles on the clock, to the Ehra-Lessien proving ground in Germany. It was here on 31st March 1998 that the howling V12 propelled him to an amazing 240.1mph. So potent was the F1 that it remains the fastest normally aspirated production road car in the world.
Similar to the 20th anniversary Tour in 2012, Martin Vincent of cm-arte.com also provided the following spectacular images of the 2014 McLaren F1 rally.
Chassis #06R – The Harrods racing GTR finished 3rd at 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans and 6th at 1996 running.
