Coin FAQs
Scott Pilgrim is going to be an anime for Netflix
Image: Ubisoft
A little over a decade ago, Edgar Wright did Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, a fairly good adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's much-loved and extremely popular comic. While it didn't warm at the box office, it has been given a new lease of life as a beloved cult classic with a kickass soundtrack, and a geek turning point for actors like Brie Larson, Chris Evans, and Brandon Routh. Good news for those fans then: after rumbling back in 2020, it's officially going to be an anime.
In partnership with Universal, the anime is being developed for Netflix to go along with their pretty solid series of adjustments in recent years. O'Malley himself and BenDavid Grabinski (showrunner of Nickelodeon's 2019 Are You Afraid of the Dark? reboot) will serve as writers and executive producers on the series. Should Netflix continue with the series, the duo will also be showrunners. And yes, Wright also has a hand in the anime as he is credited as an executive producer alongside O'Malley and Grabinski.
The production company Science SARU is tapped to provide animation; you probably know them from Netflix Devilman crybaby and the memeable Stay away from Eizouken! The direction goes to Spanish animator Abel Góngora, who directed promo episodes of the underrated OK KO!: Let's Be Heroes and the excellent TO-B1 segment from Star Wars Visions. (SARU did animation for both that segment and the Akakiri short.)
In the decade since the film's release, Scott Pilgrim has held out thanks to both a devoted fanbase and an even pretty good video game. The film itself was a visual feast with a lot of charm at the time, making it a reliable weekend watch. How well will Scott Pilgrim fight a succession of Ramona Flowers' exes in video game-esque fashion translate to an episodic format? We'll have to wait.

Yellowstone – A Park for all Seasons
Magazine Features, Outdoor & Adventure
Wildlife viewing, outdoor recreation and eye-popping natural phenomena keep groups engaged in America's first national park.
Powerful natural forces, including furious volcanic explosions, crashing waves, grinding glaciers, shuddering earthquakes and strong winds, created the diverse landscape that has become Yellowstone National Park. Since its designation as a national park in 1872, Yellowstone has been a cherished part of Wyoming's rich landscape and has served as a sort of living museum, its wonders portraying an up-close-and-personal glimpse of what North America was like in the days before recorded history.
With 2,219,789 acres of sprawling wilderness in Wyoming and Montana, it's truly a wonderland of natural beauty and geological oddities. America's first national park remains one of the most popular, welcoming almost four million visitors each year.
Sitting on top of a dormant volcano, Yellowstone is a mysterious land of steaming geysers, fumaroles and bubbling mud pots.

Over 50 percent of the world's geysers, including Old Faithful, are preserved here and are the main reason the park was established. Home to grizzly bears, wolves, and herds of bison and elk, the park is the core of one of the last, nearly intact ecosystems in the earth's temperate zone.
Grand Old Faithful
Old Faithful is the centerpiece of the natural attractions in Yellowstone. It is the most consistent of Yellowstone's 10,000 hydrothermal features, erupting 18-22 times each day and normally reaching maximum heights averaging 130 feet for about 20 seconds. The eruption ends with a few puffs of steam. Additional highlights include the Norris Geyser Basin and Mammoth Hot Springs area. Some believe Norris Geyser Basin to be the most exciting area in the park, as it is the most compact thermal area with hundreds of geysers, pools and hot springs. The area can be viewed on a walk of less than two miles. The Mammoth Hot Springs area includes the Minerva Terrace, comprised of colorful travertine terraced formations that continue to change and grow.
Other iconic spots include Lower Falls, Yellowstone Lake, Mammoth Falls, Fountain Paint Pots and the awesome, 1,200-foot-deep Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, which offers great views from Inspiration and Lookout points. Lesser known than the Grand Canyon of Arizona, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is equally as spectacular. The best way to discover its diversity is on foot; your hike will reveal the immensity of the canyon and river below as you stop at various viewpoints.
Yellowstone attracts groups of all ages, and activities vary from mild to wild. They include boating, camping, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking and wildlife viewing.
The park's vast network of trails takes hikers to hundreds of secluded places where vehicles are prohibited. Wildlife is abundant and can be seen everywhere from the trails. Yellowstone's legendary wildlife includes grizzly and black bears, gray wolves, buffalo, elk, pronghorn antelope, trumpeter swans and eagles.
Take a wildlife safari in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley for an up-close-and-personal look at bears and wolves. A naturalist guide serves as your safari tracker as you learn about the habits and habitats of bears and wolves on the drive into the wilderness.
Just outside the park in West Yellowstone is the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center, where you can gain further insight into the lives of Yellowstone's two top predators. A naturalist offers a guided tour of the attraction followed by free time to wander through the exhibits and enjoy presentations on bears, wolves, birds of prey and more. Admission also includes the IMAX theater's Yellowstone, which spotlights the park's history and grandeur.
Yellowstone National Park is open year round. And while summer is obviously the most popular time to visit, the solitude of Yellowstone in winter is so compelling that it defies words. Yellowstone wrapped in a blanket of snow is something every group should experience. Pillars of steam drift across the snow-crusted earth to creating a scene of fantasy. With the crisp cold air, clear blue sky and everything dressed in white, all the thermal features of the geyser basins are magnified in size and number. The scene is accentuated by the stillness of winter and accompanied by wildlife that gathers in the basin to take advantage of the warmth provided by hot springs, geysers and fumaroles. If you want to experience Yellowstone with fewer people, more opportunities to view wildlife and the adventure of traveling in unique snowcoaches, then consider a winter trip.
Yellowstone National Park will be front and center during the National Park Service Centennial in 2016. Based on the theme "Find Your Park," the goal is to have guests of all ages visit and fall in love with our national parks. Yellowstone, along with all the other national parks and monuments, will hold special celebrations throughout the year; advance planning for your group is mandatory.
NPS and the National Park Foundation are working jointly with partners across the country to ensure that the centennial is more than a birthday. The goal is for every American to embrace, explore, learn, be inspired or simply have fun in their national parks. The centennial will celebrate the achievements of the past 100 years, but it is really about the future. It's about kicking off a second century of stewardship for America's national parks. The two-year effort begins this year and runs through 2016.
Saying there is truly something for everyone to explore in Yellowstone is not a tired cliche but a proven fact. These suggestions and more await your group's arrival. Yellowstone is all you can imagine – and more!

CENTER TWP. — More than 900 middle school students from every school district in the county came to the Community College of Beaver County to learn more about careers in energy and advanced manufacturing.
The daylong event, held in CCBC's dome on Thursday, was put together by the Beaver County Energy and Advanced Manufacturing Partnership, a consortium of educators, industry and business leaders who are doing their part to expose children to those types of careers.
Jack Manning, president of the Beaver County Chamber of Commerce, said this is the fourth year the partnership has sponsored the event. This year was different, however, in that the participation nearly doubled from last year. He said 485 students attended last year, while this year's attendance was more than 900.
Manning said students from all 14 county school districts, as well as Beaver County Christian School, attended the event, which included interactive and hands-on displays, speeches and vendors who came to talk about their careers.
Such a large audience is advantageous to the Energy and Advanced Manufacturing Partnership, given what the group is trying to accomplish.
John Goberish, CCBC's dean of workforce development and continuing education, said that certain stereotypes and perceptions exist in Beaver County about energy and manufacturing jobs, which is the biggest reason why he and others are working to change that notion.
Perceptions still exist that the manufacturing and energy industries offer dirty jobs that require little to no education beyond high school. Now, they are usually high-tech and require some type of education or apprenticeship to land.
Nearly 30 vendors attended the event, from Shell Chemicals and Range Resources to Larson Design Group and Job Training for Beaver County. Students had the chance to peruse the different booths and talk with representatives about careers.
One of those booths was manned by the Steamfitters. Dale Glavin, director of training for the union, called it a "no-brainer" to come to the event to try to get kids interested in the trades.
He said the average worker in America makes $40,000, but a Steamfitter apprentice starts out at $36,000 a year.
Nicholas Kappas, a recruiter for the Steamfitters, noted that attitudes are starting to change.
While this event only happens once a year, the Energy and Advanced Manufacturing Partnership is working on another event for the spring targeting high school students and their parents.


Friends, Family and Philanthropists, please join me in making an impact in the lives of others. On Saturday April 21st, I will be taking part in a 5k run that seeks to raise money for the Ugandan Water Project. 844 million people do not have access to clean water. Every single minute, a newborn baby dies from infection caused by lack of unclean water. I would ask you to please consider partnering with me in my pursuit to help reverse these horrific facts. UWP provides Rain Collection Filtration Systems which will last around 30 years, providing clean water for thousands over their lifespan. The total cost of this system is $3,600. My goal is to praise enough money for an entire system. Let's do this!

Some early observations support this concept (or parts of the theory), and there is scientific interest in elucidating exactly what's at work.
Drugs are powerful. This is one reason we, as a culture, like to place each drug into a specific category: healing or harming, licit or illicit, medicine or poison.
But the reality is often much messier than those simple dichotomies. It's challenging to hold one substance in both realms at once, to acknowledge that, depending on dose and context, one person's cure is another's sickness.
Of course, that's why good doctors are critical. A psychedelic drug like ketamine is a perfect illustration of these conflicts: When abused, it can be a source of great harm. In hospitals, it is an anesthetic (the original use of ketamine) and a necessary salve for incredible pain. And increasingly, in therapeutic contexts, ketamine is considered a promising treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma.
In his New York City practice, Harvard-trained psychiatrist Will Siu has found that low doses of ketamine administered in conjunction with psychotherapy are effective. He walks us through what ketamine is, what a ketamine-facilitated therapy session is like, and why he thinks his patients have had success with it.
(To hear more from Siu, listen to him on The goop Podcast talking about trauma, loneliness, and paths toward healing and connection. And to learn more about ketamine infusions, listen to the episode with psychiatrist Steven Levine.)
A Q&A with Will Siu, MD
What is ketamine?
Ketamine is a synthetic compound that modulates a neurotransmitter called glutamate. It has long been used in clinical settings as an anesthetic and analgesic. And it's a psychedelic: In the right dose, it acts, as psychiatrist Stanislav Grof put it, as "a nonspecific amplifier of the unconscious process." Ketamine hasn't been getting as much attention as other high-profile psychedelic drugs, like MDMA and psilocybin, but psychiatrists have been using it safely as an adjunct to psychotherapy for nearly twenty years.
Its effect is dependent on how you're using it: Dosage matters, as does whether it's injected in the vein or in the muscle, taken by mouth, or taken intranasally.
Although it's legal in therapeutic contexts, ketamine has a somewhat negative reputation: There are serious problems with people becoming addicted to intranasal ketamine and abusing it for nontherapeutic purposes. Some refer to it as the heroin of psychedelics. But at the right dose, it can have a pretty significant clinical impact. I find in my practice that ketamine can act as a jump start for a lot of emotional material that would otherwise take months to work through.
Why do you do ketamine-facilitated therapy in your psychotherapy practice?
Ketamine-facilitated therapy is a process that allows us to gain access to the unconscious. At low doses, ketamine produces a hypnotic or dreamlike state. During normal waking life, we have barriers and defense mechanisms that serve to push away unpleasant or intolerable memories, emotions, and phobias—feelings that we repress and store in our unconscious, where we can't readily access them. Ketamine can break down those barriers and open up a filter to the unconscious. At higher doses, ketamine can be dissociative and produce deep, meaningful transpersonal experiences.
The rate at which someone can reach a breakthrough and come to terms with negative emotions is far quicker. A specific patient of mine blew me away with her ability to open up during ketamine-facilitated therapy after three or four weeks. It's likely we could have reached that point of emotional release with just talk therapy, but it would have likely taken significantly more time.
Essentially, ketamine helps bring deep-rooted emotions to the surface, giving us a glimpse into the unconscious mind. The talk therapy helps us work through and examine those emotions in a safe and freeing environment.
What happens in a session of ketamine-facilitated therapy?
It's a two-hour experience. When a new patient expresses interest in ketamine-facilitated therapy, I take a few regular psychotherapy sessions to get to know them before we start working with ketamine. In the first session I'll go over medical and psychiatric histories, in addition to what medications they're on. Ketamine is typically a very safe drug with few complications, so as long as there isn't anything glaringly problematic, we can proceed.
That process of getting to know that patient goes on for a few more weekly hour-long sessions of therapy. After those initial three to four weeks of getting to know a patient, we'll have a ketamine-facilitated session. Patients will lie down and take a prescribed dose of about 150 milligrams of ketamine in the form of a lozenge that goes under the tongue; it takes around ten minutes to dissolve. At the end of those ten minutes, most people will experience a body-tingling sensation and overall relaxation. I try to keep the environment in my office as conducive to that mental state as possible: My patients will use an eye mask, and I'll have calming music on. There is a significant amount of dissociation during the experience—feeling like you're not present in your own body, as if it's difficult to move. It's akin to being in a trance state, where you'll access some old memories and things will just come to mind, especially if the music correlates to some of the emotions you might be feeling while you explore your unconscious state of mind.
Patients stay in a lying position for about an hour. Following that, the ketamine experience ends, and we discuss what came up for about a half hour or so.
Then there is the integration work. After the initial ketamine experience, we'll meet weekly and talk about the experience—what emotions arose, what those mean to the patient, what they saw, and how they felt after the experience. We explore what was seen and felt in a way that allows for personal discovery you wouldn't otherwise get in therapy that doesn't incorporate ketamine.
Can patients expect an epiphany or a breakthrough?
In order for someone to have catharsis, they need access to both the intellectual memory and the emotional memory of what happened. That isn't something that's easy to access. We could tell a story of a car accident that happened ten years ago, but we're not experiencing the fear that we had when it was happening. Getting that combination of intellectual awareness and emotional memory is a task in and of itself, but MDMA and ketamine can help in doing that. The third piece we need for catharsis is an empathic environment. We need to feel safe, and we need to feel like the person in front of us understands our experience.
What are the risks of taking ketamine?
Medically, the risks are extremely low. In every hospital in the country, ketamine is used as an analgesic for pain on a daily basis and for surgical procedures at a much higher dose.
I haven't run into any negative consequences using ketamine myself or with my patients. The risks are similar to those of any consciousness-altering substance: If you bring up old trauma or old emotions or old memories in a setting where you're not met with empathy, it can lead to you feeling worse than you did to begin with, until it's worked through.
Most people who receive ketamine therapy are doing it via ketamine infusions. IV therapy has more risk involved, because you're using much higher doses, and at most centers that provide this treatment there typically isn't any psychological-support component to help you process the emotions or the trauma that might arise.
We see more risk with other psychedelics, like MDMA and psilocybin, just because they tend to be a really powerful experience even at low doses. Ketamine is much more subtle. With MDMA, people describe a rolling experience, where you get this flood of emotion and memories, and then you come down, and then you come back up, and down again, etc. But one ketamine session is like a single roll of MDMA—you typically get one transpersonal experience, and then you come down, and it's quite subtle for the rest of the session. Overall, it's just much less intense.
What can ketamine-facilitated therapy help treat?
Most of my patients suffer from anxiety, PTSD, depression, or bipolar disorder. Ketamine infusions can be immediately helpful with depression, in extreme cases where a patient presents with suicidal ideation. Studies have shown it acts in a similar manner to that of drugs like Prozac; monthly infusions are needed, or the depression comes back.
People who are experiencing physical symptoms from anxiety or chronic pain can potentially benefit from ketamine-facilitated therapy because of the psychological component of those issues.
We typically think of dissociation of the mind from the body as being a negative thing, especially as it relates to trauma and PTSD. Why is it helpful in this context?
Dissociation is a psychological defense mechanism the mind has, like the classic ones that you hear about—like using humor or projection. Dissociation is when you separate yourself from the reality of what's happening right now.
We all do this. People who have trauma, usually as kids, often learn to cope with stress through dissociation. That tends to be very difficult for them because if you're at work or with a lover or with friends and you dissociate, it can get in the way of your life. It's really an unpleasant symptom or defense mechanism to have. But it's not uncommon for people with PTSD or borderline personality or victims of sexual abuse to have dissociative symptoms.
Ketamine is a dissociative drug, especially at higher doses. Not a lot of research has been published, but those of us who have been using it with people with PTSD who dissociate are finding pretty good results with it. It's different, though, because it's a controlled dissociation; you're with a practitioner whom you trust and you're able to undergo a process of working through those traumas.
We don't know how it works. One hypothesis I have is that our feelings come from our body: We know we're anxious or we know we're sad or we feel ashamed because our body sends us signals. They're usually unpleasant, and that's when we go to alcohol or some other behavior to dull the negative sensations and feel better in the short term.
Ketamine, however, dissociates the mind from the body. All of a sudden you can work through a problem—you can really look at yourself—without having all the negative feedback from your body. You're looking at a situation or a memory without your body giving you unpleasant feedback that you're ashamed, scared, or sad. But in your mind, you're fully aware, you're conscious, you're present. You're almost able to make changes to how you think and the way you look at the world while you're in that state. As the ketamine comes down, people often feel differently—better—about a situation that's been bothering them for a long time. The memory of the trauma is still there—it always will be—but the context has shifted.

A Personal Photo Album
By : Mazin B. Qumsiyeh, Ph.D.
I browsed through our family's photo album this weekend and was struck by many thoughts, which led me to both lots of painful memories and lots of optimistic thoughts. Picture in my maternal grandparents' garden reminded me of the sweetness of those figs, loquets and apricots that grew on those trees. It reminded me of my grandparents' gentle and determined spirit and how much I miss them. My grandfather, Issa Atallah was born during Ottoman rule in Palestine and orphaned while at the age of 9 in the first World War. Having to scrape by with little help from his extended family, he decided to change his last name and simply use his fathers first name Atallah (=God Given) as his last name. When the government insisted he give them three names, he went by Issa Atallah Atallah. He worked as a shoe repairman to pay for his education in high school and literally pulled himself up from poverty to become teacher, principal, and finally the superintendent of the United Nations schools in the West Bank. In the meantime he seemed to find time to raise 8 children and publish several books. He was not a religious man but he had the most altruistic spirit I have known (e.g. he left a piece of land for his city). His latter books are all dedicated to his wife (she came from Nazareth and was thus separated from her own family in 1948). I have never seen in my life two people who were more in love than these two. After her death in 1994, his own health deteriorated and he died shortly after at the age of 89.
I interviewed him in 1994 on camera and he explained to me how Zionist forces slowly took over Palestine in his lifetime using many, many means. But he also explained how Christians, Jews, and Muslims had lived peacefully in Palestine for centuries (his highschool best friend in Jerusalem was Jewish). Zionism then came about with a racist and apartheid ideology and practice which caused tremendous suffering to the natives (of all religions). He also had no kind words for Britain or the Arab countries (kings, prime ministers, and presidents). Yet, he was certain that ultimately all are passing phenomena of corruption, dispossession and destruction. This faith was based on: a) his own conviction that ultimately a people who lived through rules by Romans, Persians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Ottomans, British will weather this, and b) his progressive ideals that younger generations learn and grow and will build a better life for all inhabitants of the Holy Land (present and dispossessed). His main and repeated advise to all is to break the chains on one's own mind to capture the great potential for progress and coexistence.
I focus on my uncle Yacoub (Jacob) Qumsiyeh in a picture at a festive occasion. He died of liver failure in early 2001. He was superintendent of the Lutheran schools in the West Bank. I remember how he came back home one day in 1994 stating that he managed to get through the Israeli checkpoint. This, he explained was exceptional also because a soldier asked him where he was going and my uncle defiantly responded: Al-Quds (the Arabic name of Jerusalem and as it is known to both Palestinian Muslims and Christians). I remember feeling so depressed to hear such pride in such little triumphs when all around them, Palestinians were seeing their lands confiscated, their homes demolished, and their livelihood slowly suffocated all while supposedly in a peace "process."
In the same picture are my parents who seem pale and weak with age (both of them seemed older than their real age). I capture that determined and yet compassionate look on their faces. Their suffering and yet persistent resistance was evident in their joining demonstrations and civil disobedience personified in the tax revolt of 1988 in Beit Sahour during the first uprising against the occupation (Intifada). From their house, they see the growth of the settlement called Har Homa on the lands of Jabal Abu Ghneim and its creeping towards them. In my phone calls to them (every weekend), they always lament the old days. We used to go there for picnics to Jabal Abu Ghneim, shopping to Jerusalem, bathing in the Dead Sea, picking flowers in the mountains etc. The buildings that replaced the trees on Jabal Abu Ghneim stand mostly empty but yet partially block our view of Jerusalem (see photos attached). More tellingly, the bypass road (for use of Jewish settlers only) now cuts off Palestinian access to the Holy City.
I have a lengthy pause at a picture of the wedding of my eldest sister. We all seemed so happy. Little did we know at the time that the groom will be arrested and jailed three times under administrative detention (allowing the occupation forces to detain people for up to 6 months with no trial or charge and certainly no lawyer can intervene). Thus, they would detain him for a few months, release him and detain him again (thus avoiding the six month limit). Depriving his family and young children of their father was hard enough but the torture he endured caused him permanent physical disability. Israeli forces called the tactics they used "moderate physical pressure", Amnesty International called it torture.
As I flip through the pictures, I then come to the pictures of Hiam Al-Sayed in our own house in Connecticut. This is the little Palestinian girl who visited us in Connecticut to get a prosthetic eye. Her eye was shot by an Israeli sniper while she walked with her mother to visit a friend. She captured our hearts. I then realize that my family was very lucky. Most Palestinian families have it much worse. It is true that the home of my cousin was demolished because his 12-year-old child threw stones at Israeli soldiers injuring no one). Ironically he was the mason who cut the stones to build so many houses of others (including my own parent's house). It is true that many of my relatives are exiled. But these families in Gaza and in the Refugee camps in the West Bank are suffering so much.
Then you might ask, what is there to be optimistic about. David BenGurion, the first prime minister of Israel, stated in his diaries regarding Palestinian refugees who were expelled from their homes between 1947-1948: "We must do everything to ensure they never do return" and to the Sunday Times: "the old will die and the young will forget." My uncle Yacoub who defied the soldiers at the checkpoint and got through has several grandchildren; ask any one of them who they are and where they come from. My brother-in-law who was tortured and imprisoned without charge has four children and soon he will be a grandfather. Ask my sister's daughter what she will tell her new child about Palestine and its history. Ask eight-year-old Hiam who while in pain repeats songs about Palestine.
You see, our homeland was not lost to the Zionists, they confiscate our land and they impoverish an entire people but they cannot take this land out of our hearts and minds. Yes, the old will die BUT the young will NEVER forget. Thus, I do not have the slightest doubt that we shall return and, just as materialized in South Africa, we shall live together in this small place called the Land of Canaan/the Holy Land. Then we will look back at these schemes of "separations" and "us here, them there" with the same incredulous look as when we review the history of black segregation in the US south.

Babies, young children and mental health
Connecting with other parents and local support
Where can I find help?
Having a baby, adjusting to life as a new parent and parenting young children can be incredibly exciting and rewarding - but at times it can also be a very challenging experience.
If you're finding things tough at the moment, reaching out to local organisations who can help and connecting with other local parents for support, reassurance and advice can make a big difference. If you're feeling isolated, it's important to remember that you're not alone - on this page you can find organisations that can help you.
If your young child's behaviour is particularly challenging at the moment, take a look at our guide to challenging behaviour to find information and tips that can make things better.
Be kind to yourself. Keep reminding yourself that you are doing your best, even if you wish you might have handled something differently that day.
Rox, parent
Babies develop rapidly in their first years, creating the foundations that can support mental health and wellbeing throughout their life. They are born seeking relationship and closeness with their parents or primary carers. Loving, safe and responsive relationships act as the basis for a sense of self-worth, confidence and trust in the world. So when things are tough, as they inevitably will be sometimes, remember how much you're doing every time you simply cuddle, smile at or talk to your baby or toddler.
Babies and young children can have very different needs, and sometimes these can make parenting, and your relationship with your child, more challenging. For all sorts of reasons, some babies and toddlers will struggle with things like sleep, feeding, digestive problems, toilet training or challenging behaviour.
How you're feeling as a parent can also affect how you feel about your relationship with your child, particularly if you're struggling with your own mental health. This is something lots of parents go through during pregnancy, after their baby is born or later in their child's life. When this is happening, things can feel incredibly difficult or overwhelming - and it's important to reach out for help using the links at the bottom of this page.
You can find lots of information and advice about issues babies and toddlers might struggle with, as well as parent mental health, on the NCT website.

My favourite phrase when things are tough is: this too shall pass.
Many people with babies and young children find it helpful to reach out to other parents so they can talk through how they have handled difficult situations and get some support. This can be invaluable if you're feeling isolated as a parent - and sometimes you just need people around you who know what you're going through.
Lots of local areas run things like drop-ins, baby cafes, parent groups or courses, and activities for babies and toddlers. You can often find these by searching your local council's website, or using a search engine.
You may also be able to connect with other parents by:
using the Charlie Waller Trust directory to see if there's a local parent support group in your area
accessing peer and group parent support through Parenting Mental Health
joining Facebook or other online groups such as Mumsnet
setting up your own parent support group using our guide
If you think your child may be struggling with a developmental issue such as a disability or hearing problems, or a physical health issue such as a food intolerance or sensitivity, speak to your health visitor or a GP to get advice. They can refer your child for an assessment or additional support if needed.
Talk to other parents and carers and join support groups – parents and carers whose children have been in similar situations are an enormous source of support and knowledge.
Kerry, parent
As parents, we often (innocently and with the best of intentions) place taking care of ourselves at the bottom of the list of priorities. With our to-do lists multiplying overnight, that much-needed 'me time' inevitably starts to slip further down the list. But looking after our own wellbeing and self-care is so important.
Kate, parent

A San Antonio father of three who mysteriously vanished on Feb. 5 actually disappeared on purpose.
Lee Arms, 44, was reported missing by his family. His silver Ford Fusion was found abandoned on the highway, its door open and the engine running, KENS reported. All of Arms' personal belongings were inside the vehicle, and his boots were found outside of the car.
When Arms did not show up for his night shift at a UPS facility, his family, friends, and volunteers searched for him, as did Bexar County investigators. A makeshift command center was set up near where his car was found, according to WOAI.
"If somebody knows anything or has any information, please call," Arms' wife Kathy said at the time, according to KENS.
Arms has an 8-year-old daughter and two sons aged 16 and 19.
Family friend Cheryl Lyssy did not believe Arms would just leave his family.
"He was a people person. He was everywhere. He wouldn't have just left that day and not come back. He is somewhere and needs to be found," she said.
The Bexar County Sheriff's Office announced Feb. 16 that Arms had been located and that he had left of his own accord.
"Mr. Arms was found safe and unharmed. His disappearance was not the result of an accident but the result of his own decision to leave," the office said.
Dottie Laster, executive director of the Heidi Search Center, was involved in finding Arms. She thinks he should be held financially responsible for the search.
"If you're a taxpayer you may have questions where, he should pay for the expense of the county and to the Heidi Search Center," she said.
When the story of Arms' disappearance went nationwide, Laster was contacted by an out-of-state law enforcement agency. It worked with the local investigator in positively identifying Arms.
Arms was found in Ohio, KTVT reports. He left his family to start a new life with someone he met online.
No charges have been filed against Arms and the missing persons case is closed, according to WOAI. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office is currently reviewing Arms' actions.


As a business owner, you know that reputation matters. But on the Web, reputation is about more than what people are saying about you: It's also defined by how well your site performs in search engines.
Search engine technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and a greater emphasis is placed on a site's authority than ever before. This makes website reputation management absolutely crucial to getting your site in front of the visitors who are most likely to use your services.
Online, reputation refers to two separate but equally important factors. The first is what people say about you, particularly through social media channels. The second is how your website is perceived by visitors and search engines. A site that's viewed as trustworthy and authoritative will rank better in Google and other search engines, making it more likely to be found by people searching within that niche.
The site could be hacked, leading to activities that could result in Google penalties and more.
Poor SEO services in the past may now be causing your site to lose rank.
You've built a new website but lost the previous linking structure, causing your pages to lose rank.
Hidden text and coding on the site, triggering.
Excessive links back to your page from low-quality, spammy sites.
Whether your site has been de-ranked by Google algorithm changes or is suffering from a sub-optimal SEO strategy, SonicSEO.com can help you regain your online reputation and Web presence.
Is your website under-performing? Call 888-437-3737 to learn about our online reputation management and repair services.
Lost reputation is different from regular SEO. Instead of starting at zero and building your Web presence, you're starting in the negative and must correct those issues before you can build your new online reputation. This is why working with an experienced SEO/website reputation management company is so important.
When we handle reputation management, we focus on more than building up your SEO strategy. We review your entire site and identify the problems that are getting in the way of your performance. By tackling these issues first, we can help to correct whatever has been damaging your reputation, creating a solid foundation for a new search engine optimization strategy.
If you'd like a free website assessment or want to learn more about what our team can do for your business, contact us today. We'll be happy to work with you to create a site that will give you the performance your company deserves.

More than 736 applications were made to the #InnovateAFRICA challenge, which is focused on developing 'real world' solutions to issues faced by the media in Africa.
IRIN needs your support to reach the final stage on 31 January when the winners will be announced. Read more about our idea below and share this page on social media using the #InnovateAFRICA hashtag, telling us what kind of multimedia storytelling (from 360 video to VR to drones) we should focus on first! The judges will meet on 15 January so help us spread the word today.
Build an immersive journalism unit that matches IRIN's world-class reporting about crises in Africa with interactive, multimedia, multi-platform storytelling that can capture a much larger audience.
Cutting-edge technology is often used to showcase other sectors of news, from Olympic celebrities to conservation efforts, but it's noticeably absent from the most important beat of our time: life and death. Africa's pressing humanitarian crises demand the best journalism on the most engaging interfaces.
Commentators often complain about the paucity of media coverage of Africa. IRIN produces original, rigorously fact-checked, and in-depth articles from around the continent every week. But neglected, important stories struggle to break through and get the impact they need. In an age of information saturation, engaging global audiences in Africa's complex crises requires creativity, resources, and careful treatments. Our immersive journalism unit will boost audience reach and engagement by developing content that catapults the audience into the story.
Taking a virtual reality journey through the Sahel on the back of a migrant smuggling truck, drone footage showing a formerly prosperous lakeside community stripped bare and impoverished by climate change and desertification, a 360 video transporting readers to a mine at the epicentre of conflict in Congo. In the age of Trump and Brexit, we need to get out of our bubbles and better connect to one another. Empathy can't come from text alone. With the means to get the quality, presentation, and distribution right, the effect of our work would be dramatic: immersive drone, 360, and longform multimedia output that boosts audience reach and engagement.
IRIN delivers unique, authoritative and independent reporting from the front lines of crises to inspire and produce a more effective humanitarian response.
Founded in Nairobi in 1995, IRIN's team remains very Africa-focused. The project will be led by Africa Editor Obi Anyadike and Multimedia Producer Miranda Grant, both based in Kenya. Editorial contributors will include our network of local stringers in 29 African countries. IRIN's Director, Egyptian-Canadian Heba Aly, will provide oversight. This project will draw on resources and innovations already created by Code for Africa, and tap into the institutional knowledge of Bliss, the web design agency that built our existing platform. Content distribution partners like AllAfrica.com will amplify the message.
Our audience is influential and well-read, but time poor: We will apply the principles of design-thinking and the power of analytics to ensure our editorial content engages them effortlessly, delivering our stories in ways people want to consume on platforms they use.
Phase 1: Market research to better understand reader preferences.
Phase 2: Comprehensive design process, identifying the most appropriate tools to build out our digital infrastructure.
Phase 3: Real-time testing of existing innovations and extensive web and mobile development.
Phase 4: User feedback and adaptation. By increasing the attractiveness and distribution of our work, we can dramatically expand the reach of our product.
We're not looking at this as a fancy, one-off data visualisation exercise that stirs conversation for a few days and then disappears into the morass of information on the Web. We want to systematically design and build out IRIN's digital infrastructure to replicate and scale immersive feature projects and experiment with new narrative techniques to tell the most powerful and engaging African stories of our time.
Help us make this work a reality by sending us your comments and suggestions on social media. Like, tweet or share this article using #innovateAFRICA.


TOKYO -- Japan will begin withdrawing its troops from Iraq in March and complete the pullout by May, ending its largest military mission since the end of World War II, a news report said Tuesday.
Japan, which extended its noncombat mission to the southern Iraqi city of Samawah for another year in December, will pull its 600 troops out at about the same time that British and Australian forces leave the area, Kyodo News agency said.
The extension of the noncombat mission in December gave the government the right to keep troops in Iraq for a year but did not necessarily guarantee that it would.
Officials from Australia, Britain, Japan and the U.S. reached a basic agreement over the timing of the withdrawals at a secret meeting in London last Monday, Kyodo said. Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force will hand over its camp to local residents after its pullout, according to the report.
A Defense Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing government protocol, said no official decisions had been made regarding Japan's Iraqi mission.
Tokyo is separately considering a request from the U.S. to boost its 200-strong air force deployment to Kuwait, which currently transports humanitarian goods to southern Iraq, Kyodo said, without citing sources.
Washington's top ally in East Asia, Japan has been a staunch supporter of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and dispatched troops there in 2004 to purify water and carry out other humanitarian tasks.
The mission, Japan's largest overseas military dispatch since World War II, has grown increasingly unpopular with the public. Many Japanese say the deployment violates the constitution and has made Japan a target for terrorism.
The Australian government said Tuesday it had not gotten official word that Japan's forces will leave the country, but would review Australia's troop commitment following a formal announcement.
"If we are formally informed by the Japanese government that it intends to withdraw its engineers from southern Iraq, the Australian government will then review the commitment that we have with our troops in that area," Australian Defense Minister Brendan Nelson told reporters Tuesday.
Australia has 450 troops protecting the Japanese contingent, but has hundreds more on other assignments in and around Iraq, including soldiers protecting diplomats in Baghdad and a navy ship HMAS Parramatta patrolling the Gulf.


Yes this is a legit thing. It's also the game I never knew I wanted.
I hope Pikachu just goes full Sherlock. That would amazing.
I should probably develop my thoughts more but I can't stop laughing at the pipsqueak Pikachu speaking with a grown man's voice.
So what differences are there between this and a normal Pokemon game?
I meant differences in gameplay.
I haven't watched the trailer yet, but I hope his sidekick is a Wooper with a voice like Chris Rock's.
God, I really hope there are other Pokemon and they can talk just like Pikachu does. Would be GOTY.
Considering the other Pikachu talked in regular Pokespeak, I think it's like Meowth from the anime, who can talk for no reason other than the writers wanted him to.
No, Meowth fell in love with a snooty rich female Meowth but couldn't offer her anything since he was a street cat. Meowth tried to study human language to make himself more unique and through hard work, motivation and determination, he technically succeeded.
They have no reason to learn human language, or they don't have access to the proper resources?
The bad guy could be a Haunter that sounds like Christopher Walken.

Indiabulls Housing Finance
SARFAESI Act 2002
Mumbai: Indiabulls Housing sets Rs 782 crore reserve price for Palais Royale
On Saturday, Indiabulls issued a sale notice for Palais Royale under Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI).Nauzer Bharucha | TNN | May 05, 2019, 13:50 IST
MUMBAI: On Saturday, Indiabulls issued a sale notice for Palais Royale under Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI). The housing finance company has set a reserve price of Rs 782 crore for the 28,409-square-metre or over 7-acre property.
The Indiabulls notice for sale comes on the heels of a Bombay high court order, which allowed handover of the property to the lender. "Provisional liquidator is directed to forthwith hand over possession of the mortgaged property to the applicant (Indiabulls). However, the applicant shall conduct the sale of the property in consultation with the official liquidator...,'' said Justice S J Kathawalla in his order, uploaded recently.
The housing finance company had sanctioned an aggregate loan of Rs 915 crore under seven separate loan agreements to SRUI.
In August 2015, a company petition was filed before the court, seeking to wind up the developer's firm. In October 2016, an official liquidator was appointed. Indiabulls then initiated proceedings against the developer for recovery of its loans. On November 1, 2017, Indiabulls filed an application against the company under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code before the National Company Law Tribunal in its capacity as a "financial creditor" to initiate the corporate insolvency resolution process.
In the high court, the builder's lawyer submitted that Palais Royale's construction had been subjected to various litigations before it as well as the Supreme Court. Construction had been stayed and the issues pending before the apex court were related to the mortgaged property. SRUI's advocate further said the applicant (Indiabulls) had come to the court with "unclean hands" as it was seeking possession of property far in excess of that mortgaged in its favour. Justice Kathawalla did not accept this argument, stating that Indiabulls is not a party before the apex court. "I further understand that there are no orders passed by the apex court prohibiting the transfer sought by the applicant," said the judge.
Earlier, TOI had reported that Rs 1,350 crore paid by high net worth individuals, who had booked flats in the project, has been stuck for a decade. Aggrieved purchasers, who formed Palais Royale Members' Association, have already paid 20% to 100% for their homes, each measuring between 4,000 sq ft and 8,000 sq ft. Some of the larger flats were sold for over Rs 50 crore each. Of the 162 apartments, 77 have been booked since 2009.
In 2016, municipal commissioner Ajoy Mehta ordered the developer to seal or rupture four fire refuge floors and large refuge areas outside each flat to avoid misuse. Mehta, in his report prepared following a high court directive, also ordered that refuge areas outside each flat in the 56-storeyed tower be blocked.

Pondering 'Kill Bill'
I don't often do reviews, especially not of movies. And this isn't really a review – it's a collection of thoughts about a movie. This particular movie (I'm counting both parts as a single entity here) has bothered me for a while, but it wasn't until I re-watched it recently that I finally realised why.
Now, let me preface this by saying that I'm not a big fan of Tarantino movies. I like the ones I've seen well enough, but for the most part, I think the hype is overdone, and he's not the best director/writer/whatever that's ever lived. I tend to view movies on what I see, not on who's done something on it. Just because I loved From Dusk Till Dawn, doesn't mean I'm automatically going to love Pulp Fiction.
If you think I've just blasphemed, it's probably better if you look away now. For all our sakes.
I should also point out that I adore a good story with kick-ass chicks, martial arts, and swords. I am a huge fan of Marvel's Elektra, and have seen her handled both well, badly, and downright stupidly. It's interesting how difficult it is to find a well-written female assassin.
As I mentioned earlier, Kill Bill has irked me since I saw it. Not in any big way – after all, it has taken me a year or two to get around to watching it again – but enough that I get very 'eh' when someone mentions it. I wrinkle my nose and wonder what all the fuss is about.
The first time I saw it, it left me with a vaguely unsettled, dissatisfied feeling. Not because of the violence – that's nothing unusual or even particularly gory – and not because the plot failed to tie up loose ends (it tied them up enough, I think). At the time, I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I guess it's one of those things that is brought into the light by a second viewing, when you can pay attention to more of the underlying things.
Now, after reflection, my biggest problem with the movie is the main character. More precisely, the fact that the main character doesn't have a character. Apart from her death list, she is an empty shell. I'd say she was a cypher, but she doesn't fit that mould either.
The movie started out trying to make her into an enigma. Her name is bleeped out all the way through the first part. Then, in the second part… they seem to forget about that. Her name is dropped as if it might be some great revelation, and I was left stunningly underwhelmed. Unless her name is some reference that I am not picking up, I can't help but wonder what the point of all that was.
Identity and names are character aspects that I love to play with. If you're going to do something as unusual as hiding a character's identity in such an obtrusive way, then there must be a reason. In this case, there doesn't appear to be a reason, and that leaves the whole thing flat for me. The name – and by association, the character – was a great disappointment to me.
That was not the main reason why I was disappointed by the Bride. She's not just lacking a name: she lacks any kind of identity (even after the name is revealed). She's not everyman/woman. She's not a symbol or a cypher. She's not a fully-fleshed-out person. She's a vehicle for a series of fight scenes, a machine, and not a terribly interesting one.
The fights are all very pretty and different. I do love me a good fight scene. But we (the audience) are asked to follow the Bride on a journey. We should be engaging with her and at least interested in how she's going to get to her target (considering the title of the film, I think we all know what her target is and that she'll get there). Instead, I wind up not caring about what she's doing, mostly because she doesn't seem to really care.
While her feet might go on a journey, the character herself doesn't. She crosses off her death list like she's collecting groceries at the supermarket – she might be an assassin, but this is supposed to be a personal quest. There's very little person in this quest.
She doesn't grow or change; by the end of the movie, she's pretty much the same person she was at the beginning after she woke up from the coma. Sure, she has a new role to fill (which I won't state because it's a major spoiler), but I'm not left with the feeling that it's going to affect her actions in the future. After all, it didn't stop her from fulfilling her purpose (or even pause for thought or reassessment, and it should have done at least that much). The movie is a straight line of revenge, predictable and unwavering. The most interesting part of it is the fighting, but fight scenes do not a movie make.
More than anything else, the character – and therefore the movie as a whole – is lacking in motivation. While the movie is a revenge kick and that particular motivation is quite clear, it still comes off feeling very holey to me. There are a lot of whys that are never given, leaving it weak and teetering on what winds up looking like a flimsy excuse. Yes, this group of people tried to kill her and Bill put a bullet in her head. However, she's an assassin; it comes with the territory and it's hardly a shock that some other assassins might want to kill her. Yes, there's the baby aspect, but that barely seems like a driving force in the movie and the previous point still stands.
There's also a huge lack of rage – the revenge is reasoned out into 'tit for tat', 'you killed me now I kill you'. Most of it is very impersonal. These people are supposed to have been her friends, but I don't get any of that from their interactions. It is impersonal to the point that the Bride stops and has a cup of coffee and a calm chat with her first (shown) victim in the middle of the fight. She isn't the one who restarts the fight; in fact, she seems willing to delay it. More professional than personal. So why should we care?
I could have accepted the Bride as a cypher for revenge, but because there isn't much weight behind the revenge aspect, that doesn't hold up. There's nothing to show that she has calculated any of her actions (beyond 'go there and kill certain people') – in fact, she's quite unprepared and clumsy in places – so the 'cold, calculated revenge' option is missing too. The pieces of her past that we're shown don't tell us why she's so cold or inclined to violence, either.
Which leads me onto my other problem. We're never told why this character became an assassin in the first place. What drove her to it? To become as good as she's supposed to be, there had to be something behind her, pushing her to excel. Normal people don't tend to become assassins – so what made her choose it? Why is killing her answer to her problems? This wouldn't be an issue (though still a gap) if the movie didn't go into her past, but it does.
When she goes to learn Kung Fu with Pai Mei, she seems happy and relaxed. This feels odd when she determinedly beats her own self bloody to please her new master. Why would someone apparently so content do this to herself? Bill is neither a monster nor a bully, and isn't forcing her. Again, we have no idea of her motivation here. It comes off looking contrived and forced.
What makes all of this particularly obvious is the fact that we have a very good background given for O-Ren Ishii. As a character, she makes sense in ways that the Bride starkly doesn't – we know why she kills and we know why she does it in her particular way. (O-Ren has her holes too – like what she was doing with the Deadly Vipers at all – but they're minor compared to the Bride's.)
Now, I'm sure that I can sit here and fan-wank reasons for all of these issues. I could create a story for the Bride that makes sense. But I'm not inclined to do that – this isn't my story, and if the pieces I'm shown don't make sense, then I'm going to be annoyed. Fan-wanking is what people do when the storytellers have failed in some way.
Another problem with the Bride is that she's a twink. (That's an RP term, for those of you who don't know.) There's nothing she can't do, no situation she can't get out of. Worse – she knows it. She walks in knowing she's going to walk out, and nothing in the middle makes her question that assumption. She's a fighting machine, and, quite frankly, that's not that interesting to watch.
The one time she seems to lose her cool is when she's put in the coffin, but even then, we're given the handy little story about how she knows exactly how to get out of there. It all feels very convenient and contrived, partly because she's freaking out one second and then, post-flashback, she's suddenly calm and fixing it. Once out of the coffin, she shrugs it off, completely unaffected by the experience (which begs the question of why it was put in in the first place).
She's also something of a Mary Sue (sorry, another RP term), but that mostly stems out of the twink aspect. She's shiny and special – the so-called 'perfect killer' – and, as a result, not quite human. She doesn't have any flaws – no weaknesses, no doubts, nothing. Even Superman has his weaknesses, and that, ladies and gentleman, is what makes him interesting to watch.
Now, some of the issues with the character may be down to how she was acted. Uma Thurman does posing with a sword well enough, but there wasn't a whole lot of emoting going on. I have a fondness for subtle acting and characters who hide their true thoughts and feelings, but there wasn't even a hint at anything going on under the hood with the Bride. And when a character says 'ooo she looks angry' and I think she looks blank and maybe a bit scared, I think there's something wrong there. Show don't tell, people – it applies to movies just as much as to literature.
So what we wind up with is an effectively empty character with a pre-defined purpose and a straight-line path to get there. We know what is going to happen at the end from the moment the opening sequence rolls. The one thing that should have made it worth the 3-4 hours' viewing time – the main character's journey through this tale – is missing. There are fight scenes to keep us entertained along the way, but as I said earlier, fight scenes do not a movie make.
So there you go. Kill Bill has several flaws, but, for me, the main character is the big one. Shame.


It's been a dizzying week. Life just keeps throwing me curves.
Football and Chili. And just like that, summer has come to an end.
It was past bedtime, but this goofy girl insisted on sorting all her football cards. I'm thinking she should've started this project a little earlier.
Unfortunately I didn't do much standing today...Having almost passed out after a round of trigger point injections in my shoulder today, I spent a chunk of my day in bed with a case of the dizzies. I'm still feeling a little dazed tonight, like I had a few too many Appletini's. And so my Humpty Dumpty Saga rolls on.
And don't think for a second that she wouldn't. She totally would.


Highclare pupils experience Maasai tribe culture.
Pupils from Highclare Junior Schools and Highclare Senior School were treated to wonderful performances by an Osiligi Maasai Warrior tribe this week. Pupils enjoyed learning about the Maasai tribe's way of life and culture through colourful musical performances and demonstrations. This unique experience captivated the pupils through its energetic songs, audience participation, and concluded with an opportunity to ask questions, which the pupils had many!
"An absolutely delightful time was had by all during the visit of the Osiligi Maasai to Highclare Senior School. They treated us all to some really interesting facts about their culture and traditions and their singing, chanting, jumping, whistling and dancing was enchanting. However, it was the warmth and happiness of the group that really impressed us most. We were all left feeling privileged to have had such a powerful insight into the traditions and culture of the Osiligi Maasai warriors and I am sure that the experience will live in our memories for a very long time" said Mrs Moore, Head of Highclare Senior School.
