How I cleaned up my embarrassing Twitter history
Tidying up those embarrassing old tweets.

By Nicole Gallucci 2018-02-12 21:56:02 UTC
This may be hard to imagine, but I, a now hilarious 24-year-old with impressive self-control and impeccable taste in movies, music, and celebrity crushes, have not always crafted the best tweets.
Sure, my Twitter fingers are professionally trained at this point. But when I first made my debut in 2011, I was an angsty 18-year-old, obsessed with One Tree Hill, listening to Dashboard Confessional on a loop, and tragically venting about freshman year of college.
I've grown a lot since then. And the sophisticated professional I am today decided it was time to venture back into my Twitter history and clean up my online image.
SEE ALSO: How to search your own tweets on Twitter
On this utterly mortifying experience down memory lane, I managed to successfully locate and delete a few embarrassing rants, some ice-cold takes, and several horribly nerdy hashtags I now regret. For all my future Twitter stalkers will know, I've always been this cool!
Revisiting the past — and trying to mass delete tweets — revealed some harsh truths about my social media usage: In my younger years I tweeted too often and way too freely. I utilized very little self-control when deciding which parts of my life to share. Post-cleanup, I feel much better about my online presence. If you're in any doubt about your online past, I highly suggest you search your own Twitter archive and do the same.
Say hello to advanced search
There's one friend you can count on during this dreaded path to online self-improvement: Twitter's very own advanced search tool which you can access on desktop, Android or iPhone.
The feature gives people a simple way to search their own tweets and filter by keywords, phrases, usernames, locations, and dates. To search your Twitter archive, simply type your handle in the "From these accounts" section. (You can also search "from:" in Twitter's basic search box followed by a handle to get the same results.)

Identify and delete by keyword
To kick off your Twitter cleanse, why not start by searching your account for problematic keywords? You might find tweets with words like "guilty pleasure," "hate," and "drunk" worth manually deleting, but everyone's account is different, so search for the words that pertain to you.
I'm sure my mom would be pleased to know I have zero incriminating tweets about being drunk. (I regret to inform her that over the years I've tweeted my fair share of other embarrassing content.)
TIP: All good things in moderation
There's no shame in loving something, but there's a little shame in loving something that's not that great and then tweeting about it nearly 100 times. Multiple tweets are not a good look.
Let's take my live-tweeting of the Bachelor franchise season after season. I am now mortified by my "#emotionalgirlproblems" tweets and would like to pretend they never happened. Easy! Just delete.
Or, growing up, One Tree Hill was my favorite television show. I worshiped the actors, reveled in the ridiculously dramatic plot lines that now make me laugh out loud, and thought nothing would ever come close to touching my soul so deeply. Is that still true today? NOPE.
It's a solid teen drama, but I definitely do not need more than 60 tweets proclaiming my love of One Tree Hill floating out there on the internet. Do I want to be known as a girl who passionately argued that Paul Johansson should have won an Academy Award for his performance? Or that it is the BEST show on all of television? LOL no. Delete.
TIP: News breaks and opinions change
Speaking of One Tree Hill, I loved the show so much that I once tweeted that the creator, Mark Schwahn, was "literally a genius." I genuinely felt this way in 2012. More recently, Schwahn was accused of sexual harassment by over a dozen women.
This tweet is no longer praise I want out in the world alongside my name. Deleting it felt truly therapeutic.
Side note: You may want to delete a retweet too. You can do this by finding the tweet and clicking 'retweet' again.
Search accounts you've mentioned
Keywords aren't the only way to search the site. You can also view tweets in which you've mentioned specific accounts by inputting the associated handles.
By typing in the handle of Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte — one of my most regretted celebrity crushes — I uncovered this tweet that I wish to immediately scrub from the face of the Earth.
Do I want really want some misguided 18-year-old's comments about adoring a man for having 150 pairs of sneakers in his closet to live perpetually online? A man who has since lied about being robbed at gunpoint? It hurts just to look at it. Delete.
Filter by dates
Perhaps you know of a time in life when you were not your best Twitter self. For me, that was October and November 2011 — when my freshman year roommate and I were not the ~most~ compatible.
(Note: My freshman roommate and I are now friends and have left our differences in 2011.)
To search a specific period of time on Twitter, simply input a desired date range — which can span from days to months or years — into the advanced search bar.
Though Twitter doesn't currently allow users to delete tweets in bulk, you can use third-party services like tweetdeleter.com, TweetDelete, or Twitter Archive Eraser to remove up to thousands of tweets at a time. There's also a mobile app called Tweeticide that can do the trick.
Going beyond the archive
If you want to take a truly in-depth look at your past tweets you (brave soul) might consider requesting your full Twitter archive.
Simply go to the Settings section of your account and scroll to the bottom of the page. The file, which will be emailed to you, will include your Twitter history starting from your very first tweet.
If you're looking to scour your account beyond the archive, Snapbird is for you. The site allows you to search your direct messages and tweets you've favorited.
Why you should care about ghosts of tweets past 👻
You might assume your Twitter past will remain in the past — and it probably will. But just as you can search your own archive, you could search anyone's tweets simply by plugging their handle into the advanced search bar. That means anyone could have access to your tweets with a simple search, too.
While it's not often people spend their free time past-Twitter-stalking others, we all know it happens.
For instance, The Daily Show host Trevor Noah's tweets came back to haunt him when he took over for Jon Stewart in 2015. Sexist and racist tweets resurfaced from Lee Garrett, a contestant on Season 13 of The Bachelorette, when Rachel Lindsay was notably cast as the first black Bachelorette.
In the world of politics, Kellyanne Conway most definitely regretted that tweet about Hillary being under FBI Investigation. And we imagine it would have been far less awkward if former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci had deleted his tweets about hating Donald Trump before joining the man's administration.
We can't even count the number of times Trump must wish he had someone clean up his Twitter account prior to becoming president.
TIP: Consider starting fresh with a bulk delete
As you search through your tweets, there's a chance you'll decide your account is beyond saving and it's time to start fresh. Go for it.
You can use one of the third-party services listed above to wipe your history and delete all tweets, or to create an entirely new account. The process is a learning experience, and there's something seriously cathartic about deleting old tweets and tidying up an archive of your past thoughts.
Godspeed, embarrassing tweeters. In the future, think twice before you publish those powerful 280-character blurbs.

The mineralogical and stable isotopic composition of authigenic carbonates from the Krishna–Godavari (KG) and Mahanadi Basin provide a deeper insight into the processes inducing carbonate formation in the sediments of the eastern continental margin of India in the Bay of Bengal. Authigenic carbonate cements, (micro) nodules, bioturbation casts and tubes from 12 core locations drilled during the Indian National Gas Hydrate Program (NGHP) Expedition 01 were investigated for this study. Three main processes responsible for authigenic carbonate precipitation are identified: organoclastic sulfate reduction, anaerobic oxidation of methane and methanogenesis. Evidence of vigorous methane seepage is indicated in carbonates recovered at Sites 7, 10, 12 (KG Basin) and 19 (Mahanadi Basin). These methane-derived carbonates display typical paragenetic carbonate mineralogies (aragonite, high-Mg calcite with >15 Mol% MgCO3, Ca-rich dolomite). Two separate horizons of methane derived-carbonates are correlated between 4 drill holes (up to ∼16 km apart). The upper horizon has been dated with 14C (40,100–51,600 a BP 1950) and clearly indicates that methane seepage has been much more vigorous in the past, possibly due to the effect of lower sea level on the gas hydrate stability zone across the margin.

We used to rent food for Nollywood film shoots - Kanayo O Kanayo
Kanayo O Kanayo says filmmakers once had to rent meals for movie shoots in Nollywood.
In an Instagram post, the film star recalled the difficulties that marked his early days in the movie industry.
"When I saw this, I remembered when we started this career with the NTA," the Nollywood star said, holding up a piece of meat.
"This is props. If you ever ate it at the time, you've eaten your artist fee. It was rented from the canteen."
In 1992, Kanayo had his acting debut in 'Living in Bondage', a two-part film today regarded as one of the earliest successes in Nigeria's film production history.
A post shared by Kanayo O. Kanayo (@kanayo.o.kanayo)
The Imo-born actor would go on to star in over 100 movies.
Kanayo, in September 2020, ventured into the legal profession to fulfil his long-time dream of becoming a lawyer.
The actor had earlier made the news after he hit back at critics who taunted him for playing ritual roles in films.
"What's the link between Kanayo O Kanayo and the role he played as Nicholas? There are certain questions people ask you all the time such that it looks as if these people don't think," he had said.
"Let gossipers be. They should go educate themselves. Even among Jesus' disciples, Luke was a doctor. They all had what they were doing before they were called.
"You take up a role and interpret the script so well, only for viewers to ask if you truly do money rituals. What's one's business with that? What people should understand is I have a profession."

To date, this is the biggest undertaking Sibers has ever been involved with. It required 56,000 man-hours of development and 14 of our top ASP.NET engineers.
The system's core objective is to ensure collaboration between multiple institutions and to provide a sufficient number of samples and relevant medical data for statistically meaningful studies. The system supports barcodes, and enables ad hoc sample searches based on clinical and phenotypic information.
Through the extensive research of solutions required for this project, Sibers expanded its knowledge of medical and pharmaceutical industry standards so greatly that our project team felt confident providing design advice on patient record data collection and Good Clinical Practice (an international standard) third-party compliance.
Separation of specimens and data, ensured by the system's architecture, provides flexible association between the two. Even if a sample's complete data set hasn't been captured, specimens can still be registered and used — an extremely useful feature when studying rare diseases.
The finished platform is FDA-certified, complies with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and is currently deployed in several hospitals and labs across the US.

Didn't Kurt Roessler Jump 50-0 ft in the Triple Jump AAA Boys at PIAA Champs in 1978 and Hold Record until 1992?
Roessler did jump 50-0 in '78, but it was never listed in the PIAA program as the AAA triple jump record. In that case, it was either wind-aided, which would disallow the record, or an error.
I don't have any information right at the moment on whether it was wind-aided, but I'll certainly check.
Rod, You missed it,somehow, Kurt Roessler's record was listed in all the programs I have. He held record from 1978-1992 for AAA Boy's in the Triple Jump. I have always enjoyed your work, Thanks!
I missed the Kurt Roessler record because I am apparently incapable of reading my own research. You were right: I missed it. Duh!
The only reason I haven't counted relay members in the multiple champions is because I don't have all of the relay team names yet. Once I get those, then they'll be added.
Rod, Great if you can include relays. I figured that may be a nearly impossible task. With any team that repeats as a relay champ, seems there would be a fair amount of turn over from one year to the next. As a HS sports junkie, I appreciate this type info…..thanks!
News services incorrectly reported that a Frank Ackerman of South Williamsport won the 1962 Class B 220 in a State Record of 21.8. In fact, Jack Wright of Exeter was awarded the win in 21.8. The irony for me is that I finished 3/4 of a yard in front of Jack and recorded 21.7, which was altered on the finish card to 22.7, the 2nd slowest time in the final (and still, I was awarded 2nd place–a nice trick!). Officials said the finish camera was not working, and my coach choose not to protest because of long-standing difficulties with District 3 and State Meet officials. One bone of contention, I believe, went back to the award results for Tony Baker of Camp Hill in the 1956 Class B 100 Final, a circumstance similar to my experience. I recall, additionally, an announcement that a previous 21.8 recorded at the State Meet was wind aided. In any case, Jack Wright was the official winner in 1962 with a new State Record of 21.8.
Jeff Brown from Grove City who won 3 open Golds in 1979 also won an open Gold in 1978 for Lower Merion. He should be listed as having 4 open Golds.
This is the first I've heard of your unfortunate finish line experience, and the track old-timers never miss a chance to tell the old stories. That could not have been pleasant; my condolences, albeit a half-century late.
Stu, I have you listed as the 1987 AAA high jump champ in both the field events listing and the all-time champions.

DC shops get ready as Hong Kong seeks US business
WASHINGTON - The government of Hong Kong will soon hear proposals from DC agencies hoping to take over its campaign to lure America's confidence and its business.
by Douglas Quenqua, / December 16, 2002
Currently held by Hill & Knowlton, the $500,000, two-year contract aims to portray Hong Kong as the most independent and business-friendly of Chinese cities -- "The New York and London of Asia," the request for proposals reads. By reassuring American investors that the city's government is reasonably independent from the Chinese socialist economic system, Hong Kong hopes to sell itself as the gateway to doing business in the region.
A spokeswoman said the Hong Kong government is required to open the business to competition every two years under the law. It was two years ago, in March 2001, that H&K won the business from Edelman in a similar review.
A spokeswoman from H&K would not comment on whether the agency planned to submit a proposal.
Hong Kong was reclaimed by China in 1997 after more than a century of British occupation. Under that agreement, it will operate under a "one country, two systems" rule for 50 years, operating as an independent entity in all matters other than foreign affairs and defense.
Tactics outlined in the RFP include speaking engagements for Chinese officials with business groups, think tanks, and academics, as well as arranging visits to Hong Kong for American corporate interests. A top-down media strategy stresses the inclusion of corporate opinion leaders and highly placed political figures, both state and federal.
The winner of the contract will run the campaign from March 1, 2003 to February 28, 2005. Proposals were due last Friday, December 13.
FH/GPC, Fleishman-Hillard's lobbying arm, currently handles lobbying duties for the city.

The sixth edition of the Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show opened its doors to the public today for a four-day festival of the boating lifestyle. Held 23 – 26 November at Ocean Marina Yacht Club, HE Mrs. Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul, Thailand's Minister of Tourism and Sports presided over the Opening Ceremony. This year's show features a strong in-water display of global yacht brands and Thai built boats (pleasure and commercial), as well as a diverse range of onshore exhibitors.
Building on the success of past years, organisers are confident for a successful event."We have an exciting line-up of exhibitors at this year's Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show ranging from day boats to luxury superyachts as well as marine products and services, luxury properties and much more. The four-day festival has something for everyone with pop-up restaurants along the marina front and onshore activities for kids," said Mr. Napong Paripontpochanapisuti, Acting Assistant Managing Director, Residential Business, Ocean Property Co. Ltd., organisers of the Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show.
Kicking off the Asian boat show season, more than 6,000 people are expected to visit the 20,375 sqm of onshore and in-water exhibition space at the Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show. A multi-billion baht line-up of boats and businesses will be showcasing everything from small day boats to superyachts, marine products and services, luxury automobiles and property, and all manner of marine gadgets and water toys. Highlights include experiential activities for visitors and in-water demonstrations as well as free daily yacht cruises.Organisers expect more than two billion baht (approx. US$60 million) of trade to be generated by the show while supporting the government's policy to make Thailand the "Marina Hub of ASEAN" and showcase the marine leisure credentials – onshore and off – of the Gulf of Thailand.
"The goal of the show is to exposure more Thais to the leisure marine lifestyle, and to show them how much fun they can have on the water, as well as showcase the marine products and services in the Gulf of Thailand, and the region's stunning cruising grounds, to international visitors" said, Mr. Scott Finsten, Harbour Master of Ocean Marina Yacht Club, home of the Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show.
Visitors come from as far as Europe and all over Asia to visit the show, that is now ear-marked as a 'must-attend' event in the latter part of November every year. "We are very pleased at how well the show has been received and grown from year-to-year," added Mr. Finsten.
Just a 90-minute drive from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport and half that time from nearby U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International Airport, Ocean Marina Yacht Club is the gateway to the Gulf of Thailand and the magical Koh Chang archipelago nearby where islands such as Koh Mak and Koh Kood provide sailors with many stunning anchorages and cruising sites to explore.
"We expect the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) project to drive economic growth on the East Coast and Pattaya in particular is well positioned to support and benefit from this growth, both off and onshore," added Mr. Napong.

On this page you will find selected information about banks, pharmacies, immigration, communications and useful phone numbers in Krabi. At the end, you will find a map showing the location of (almost) everything mentioned, which we hope you will find helpful.
If you're feeling ill or have minor injuries, the best advice is to see a pharmacist first. Most speak English and give free advice and diagnosis. They can also clean wounds and issue some prescription drugs. If the problem is more serious than you suspected, you will be referred to a doctor. Pharmacies are usually open from 8 in the morning until 9 or 10 at night and can be found easily all over Ao Nang and Krabi Town. In Railay there is just one pharmacy.
If you are staying Ao Nang, there are also a number of private English-speaking doctors' clinics, of which Dr Somboon's Polyclinic, next to 7-Eleven on the road heading from the beach to the village, is probably the best and least expensive. In town, ask your hotel for a recommendation (most clinics are open evenings only) or head straight for Krabi Nakharin International Hospital. If you do not have travel insurance, be sure to tell them, and ask for all charges upfront, as many of these places tend to hike up their prices for claims purposes.
There are many banks in both Krabi and Ao Nang. Opening hours are usually from 8.30am-3.30pm weekdays (9am-5pm in Ao Nang), excepting public holidays. Currency exchange booths are generally open longer; all major currencies are accepted and most do not charge commission. ATM cash machines can be found in all tourist areas, including on the islands.
The main Post & Telegraph Office is on Uttarakit Road in Krabi Town (Tel: 0-7561-1050). It is open from 8am- 4.30pm weekdays, 9-12am weekends. There is also a smaller branch in Ao Nang, with the same opening hours, on the main road in the village, with a DHL drop-off branch right next door. Packing services are available.
Mobile phone network coverage is almost 100 percent around Krabi, although you may experience difficulties in some remote areas, or when driving through the limestone cliffs. Thai pay-as-you-go SIM cards can be bought for as little as 50 baht in any 7-Eleven or Family Mart store (top up here as well), though registration is required – bring your passport with you and they will take a copy. Remember you will need an unlocked phone to do this. It pays to do some research online prior to arrival to see which provider has the best pre-paid package for your needs, as 4G speed is usually limited to the first few MB of data only. Google AIS 1-2-Call, DTAC Happy, and True – these are the main providers.
As all hotels and most cafes and bars now offer wi-fi service, internet cafes have all but disappeared around the beach areas and in Krabi Town. Services such as printing documents, downloading photos or scanning can now be found in bigger hotels or printing shops in Krabi Town.
Krabi Customs Office is located on Chaofah Road in Krabi Town, opposite Chaofah pier. Phone: 0-7561-1350.
Krabi Immigration Office is off Tharua Road, near the out of town ferry pier. Phone: 0-7561-1097 or national enquiries on 1178. All visa extensions must be applied for in person at this office.
1) A visa-free "permission of stay" granted to citizens of Hong Kong SAR and 57 other countries, for up to 30 days, which is granted by a stamp in their passport at any port of entry to the kingdom, including Krabi Airport. There is no charge or paperwork for this.
2) A "visa on arrival" is available to citizens of another 21 countries for up to 15 days stay. This can be applied for online or on arrival at one of 24 international immigration checkpoints (including Krabi Airport) and requires proof of return ticket within 15 days, adequate funds for stay, one passport photograph and a fee of 1000 baht.
3) Those who do not qualify for the above, or who wish to stay for longer than the time allotted to them, must apply for a "tourist visa" at a Royal Thai Consulate or Embassy before arrival in the kingdom and granted for up to 4 months (2 x 2 months) upon payment of a fee. Each two month permission of stay granted with a Tourist Visa may be extended by a further month. To do this, you will need to visit Krabi Immigration Office with two photocopies of each of the following passport pages: personal information, visa stamp and arrival/departure card number; two passport-sized photographs; and a fee of 1900 baht.
The 30-day permission of stay stamps given on arrival in Thailand (see 1. above) can also currently be extended up to a maximum of 30 days (normally 7) by the same procedure – at the discretion of the officer. The office is open 8.30am – 4.30pm weekdays only and is closed on public holidays.
Note that "back-to-back" entry to Thailand using any of the above methods is now being frowned upon by authorities. Permission of stay granted at land borders with neighbouring countries has been reduced to 15 days, and many "visa runners" are finding they are even being turned away at immigration controls both at land crossings and at airports. If you expect to be coming and going frequently from Thailand (more than the standard tourist visa in 3) above), it is now advised to apply for a year-long non-immigrant or education visa in your country of residence. Extra paperwork will apply, please see the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for details.
Please note that overstaying your visa is considered a serious offence in Thailand, punishable with a daily fine of 500 baht and/ or imprisonment. Your right to re-enter the kingdom in the future may also be affected.

January 22 2017, 1:40 p.m.
The January 4 meeting of the Kentucky Senate Committee on Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Safety was brief. The group had convened, on just the second day of the 30-day session, to consider Senate Bill 5, a measure that had been labeled an "emergency." Specifically, the bill would ban abortion after 20 weeks gestation, under the mistaken assumption that 20 weeks is the point at which a fetus feels pain, making abortion a cruel and unusual punishment.
Among those who spoke against the measure during the 35-minute meeting was a young, pregnant woman who with her husband was facing the sad reality that their wanted pregnancy might have to be aborted because of a life-threatening fetal abnormality that wasn't detected until after the first trimester. All the tests needed for a prognosis could very well take her pregnancy up to or beyond the 20-week limit — if the law were to pass, that could either force her to abort early or continue to carry a non-viable fetus. A board-certified ob-gyn who also testified noted that both the American Medical Association and the Kentucky Medical Association oppose legislative interference into the doctor-patient relationship – and this bill does just that.
The committee asked no questions.
Republican state Sen. Brandon Smith in May 2015.
The measure quickly passed out of the 14-man committee with little dissent, sailed through the rest of the General Assembly — controlled by Republicans for the first time in nearly 100 years — and was signed into law on January 9 by Gov. Matt Bevin. Because it was designated an emergency measure, the law went into effect immediately.
Kentucky is the 19th state to enact a 20-week fetal-pain abortion ban, a restriction that is a favorite among opponents of reproductive autonomy who would like to see abortion banned altogether. But there are two problems with the law. First, banning abortion outright before a fetus is viable outside the womb — generally understood to be at about 24 weeks — is illegal. Second, the idea that a fetus feels pain at 20 weeks contradicts the prevailing science relied upon by doctors, which is that the ability to feel pain doesn't develop until closer to 30 weeks.
In short, the Kentucky ban and others like it are based on junk science.
Forty-four years ago, on January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered its landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade, a Texas case that solidified a woman's legal right to abortion before the fetus is viable outside the womb.
While Roe may be settled law, the court has also noted that certain restrictions on abortion access may be constitutional, when the state has some legitimate interest to protect, and when the restrictions don't place an undue burden on women seeking care. That proviso has allowed for some chipping away at the edges of Roe as lawmakers have placed an increasing number of onerous and unnecessary restrictions on access in the name of a state interest, but often by invoking questionable science or logic in order to justify them.
Since 2011 alone the Center for Reproductive Rights has tracked 2,100 bills seeking to restrict access to reproductive health care. More than 300 of those have become law.
That junk science has infected the criminal justice system is now a well-accepted fact, thanks in part to the 2009 release by the National Academies of Science of a groundbreaking report that raised serious questions about the scientific validity and reliability of even the most venerated forensic practices, including fingerprint analysis.
Less well understood, however, is how deeply junk science has infected reproductive rights law. For several decades, foes of reproductive autonomy have sought to curtail access to abortion with a series of restrictions that are often sold as a way to protect a woman's health and safety — but that just as often rely on a questionable foundation.
That is what happened in Texas in 2013 with the passage of an omnibus abortion bill mandating that the state's abortion clinics transform themselves into costly, hospital-like facilities and that all abortion doctors have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of each clinic where they practice. The restrictions were necessary, the state argued, to protect the health and safety of women seeking care. But the state did not offer any proof that the provisions would improve anything — nor that there was anything in particular that actually needed improving.
In a June 27, 2016, ruling on those provisions in a case known as Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, the Supreme Court confronted head-on the problem of junk science in the context of abortion access. In striking down the Texas restrictions, the court found that the abortion providers who had challenged the laws brought to the table hard evidence that great harm would result from the measures — evidence that was not rebutted by the state.
In the aftermath of the Whole Woman's Health ruling, every court that encountered restrictions similar to those in Texas blocked them. But there is no indication that states will stop trying to pass such restrictions. Texas is currently trying to mandate burial of all fetal tissue, under the guise of improving health and safety, for example, while Kentucky rushed through its fetal pain measure, to name just two of the most recent examples.
While it's unclear whether either of those measures will withstand court scrutiny, it is worth noting that each restriction falls firmly within the framework of junk science that has so infected women's reproductive rights over the last few decades. Indeed, most of the measures considered or passed by lawmakers fit within notable categories or share similarly flawed conceits.
A counseling room at Whole Woman's Health of San Antonio, Texas, on Feb. 9, 2016.
Among the most longstanding myths related to abortion is that most women feel deep regret afterward and that abortion inflicts longstanding psychological damage. "This idea that there is some psychological harm that happens after a patient gets an abortion … was kind of the first wave of junk science seeping into abortion policies," said Amanda Allen, senior legislative counsel for the Center on Reproductive Rights. Anti-abortion activists have pushed this notion since at least the 1980s, and a coterie of sympathetic doctors and academics have produced works that purport to back up the claim.
The narrative has become so pervasive that lawmakers in numerous states have adopted the line without any good science to back it up. In an effort to prove the link, abortion foes in 1987 convinced President Ronald Reagan to have U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop — a noted abortion opponent — study the health risks related to the procedure. After more than a year Koop had not turned in his report; he said there wasn't enough good evidence to cite. Although the myth of mental harm has repeatedly been scrutinized, including by the American Psychological Association, the idea that better research needs to be done has persisted.
The same cannot be said today. The results of a groundbreaking study conducted by the Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health research group at the University of California–San Francisco found no evidence that abortion causes mental health problems in women. Known as the Turnaway Study, researchers followed nearly 1,000 women — for 5 years, across 21 states — who fell into one of two groups: those who obtained an abortion, and those who sought abortion but were initially turned away for care and had to go elsewhere or who had to carry their pregnancies to term.
"We found no evidence that women who have abortions risk developing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem or less life satisfaction as a result of the abortion, either immediately following, or for up to five years after the abortion," ANSIRH reported. "However, women who were denied an abortion had more anxiety, lower self-esteem, and less life satisfaction immediately after being turned away." Ultimately, those symptoms decreased and the wellbeing of both groups equalized.
Pamphlets displayed inside the waiting room of the Planned Parenthood Golden Gate offices in San Francisco.
Flowing from the contention that abortion is bad for a woman's mental health came a wave of state laws requiring women to be counseled prior to undergoing the procedure, something a woman who would undertake such a supposedly risky psychological prospect would surely need.
Twenty-nine states now have laws on the books requiring abortion providers to supply patients with state-authored counseling materials, according to a NPWF report on questionable abortion restrictions titled "Bad Medicine." The mandated materials cover a range of topics, from fetal development to pregnancy risks, and most contain serious misinformation.
Take, for example, Texas' Woman's Right to Know pamphlet, which suggests not only that a fetus feels pain at 20 weeks and that abortion can be psychologically damaging, but also asserts that there is likely a link between abortion and breast cancer — a notion that has been thoroughly debunked by the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society. Texas is not alone in supplying women with this kind of erroneous information. In total, counseling materials in 12 states include information about fetal pain, nine emphasize negative psychological effects of abortion, and five include the nonexistent link between abortion and breast cancer.
Even more disturbing, perhaps, is that 26 states include medically inaccurate information about embryological or fetal development in their counseling materials, according to the Informed Consent Project at Rutgers University. Considering only medical statements regarding first trimester development, the rates of inaccuracy vary wildly – from 17 percent in Alabama's materials to a whopping 68 percent in Michigan's materials.
The basics of informed consent are fairly straightforward: A patient should be given medically accurate information about the benefits and risks related to a given treatment or procedure and should understand and agree to potential consequences of care.
When it comes to abortion access, however, informed consent has become increasingly complicated, and is often not based on best medical practice.
While the passage of counseling mandates was the first in a wave of abortion-related restrictions sold as necessary to ensure a woman's informed consent, in recent years lawmakers in many states have upped the ante, requiring mandatory ultrasound procedures and pre-abortion waiting periods as integral to the process.
Indeed, the 20-week abortion ban wasn't the only restriction Kentucky lawmakers forced through the legislature earlier this month. Simultaneously, lawmakers hastily passed a requirement that each woman not only undergo an ultrasound prior to an abortion, but also that her doctor must display the image for her, describe what is seen in the image and make audible the fetal heartbeat, regardless whether the woman needs or wants to see or hear any of it.
The bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Addia Wuchner, told her colleagues during a committee meeting that the measure was necessary in order to assure "autonomy" for women. If we respect women's autonomy, she explained, then we should expect them to be informed, and she claimed this bill was about nothing more than ensuring that women are armed with as much scientific information as possible before making the decision to abort.
With passage of the law, Kentucky has become one of 14 states that have passed an ultrasound-before-abortion law and one of six that include a so-called display-and-describe provision.
In keeping with that theme, many states — 31 in total — have also passed laws requiring a mandatory waiting period between when a woman first contacts an abortion provider and the time the doctor is actually allowed to perform the procedure. Waiting times range from 18 to 72 hours — in South Dakota, the 72-hour period excludes weekends and holidays, meaning a woman could wait as many as 6 days before being allowed to obtain an abortion after her first clinic appointment.
As with the other restrictions, waiting periods were sold as a means of ensuring that a woman makes a well-informed decision about seeking abortion. But in practice they have done little except add extra cost and burden to the process, usurping a woman's ability to make her best medical decisions in private consultation with her doctor.
Consider the case of a Texas woman who recently visited Planned Parenthood seeking to terminate her pregnancy. The woman, said Planned Parenthood's Wheat, had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer when she discovered she was pregnant. She already had young children and her oncologist strongly recommended that she terminate the pregnancy. Until she did so, she would not be able to start life-saving cancer treatment. In addition to being confronted with mandatory counseling material suggesting she could contract breast cancer from having the procedure, the woman had to submit to a display-and-describe ultrasound before having to wait at least 24 additional hours before being allowed to abort — a trifecta that ultimately delayed the start of her cancer treatment.
In addition to the many regulations that use junk science or flawed logic to justify restricting a woman's ability to access care there is another significant group of laws that more directly target abortion providers and the facilities where they operate.
Known as targeted regulations of abortion providers, or TRAP laws, these most commonly include the kinds of measure struck down in the Whole Woman's Health case — mandating costly facility upgrades for clinics, regulations on the maximum allowable distance between a clinic and a hospital, and laws that require hospital admitting privileges or hospital transfer agreements for abortion doctors.
The mortality rate for first trimester abortion is less than 1 per 100,000 procedures, for example, compared to nearly 9 deaths per 100,000 live births. The risk of major complications arising from abortion is less than .23 percent.
Ironically, it was precisely the record of safety that prevented some doctors in Texas from obtaining the hospital admitting privileges that state lawmakers tried to require. "Physicians who specialize in abortion care are thwarted by the admitting privileges requirement, not because of any deficiency in their ability to perform safe abortions, but rather because their work is so safe that they do not admit enough patients to hospitals to qualify for privileges," Physicians for Reproductive Health wrote in an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court in the Whole Woman's Health case.

On 3/10/22, this tax-payer paid Fire Chief, told me to "go F--K myself" after one of their HRC meetings.
At this same HRC meeting, another HRC Commissioner, Chai Hossaini, told Revere MA resident, Gina Castiello, that "you are garbage." Nice, huh?

Redding man tries to run from police again. This time he didn't get far
David Benda
A 32-year-old Redding man wanted on drug charges who had eluded authorities earlier this month was arrested in a wooded area near Clear Creek on Thursday, police said.
Mark Anthony Hense was taken into custody with the help of police K-9 Otto.
Redding police officer Travis Williams and Otto were patrolling south Redding when Williams recognized Hense driving a Chevrolet Traverse on Highway 273 near Canyon Road.
Williams attempted to catch up with Hense before Hense pulled into the parking lot at Win-River Casino and began speeding around the lot, a Redding police news release said.
The SUV was later found abandoned nearby, and after a search of the area, Williams learned that Hense was attempting to leave in a truck at the west end of the casino property.
Officers found Hense inside the truck and attempted to contact him before he fled toward Clear Creek. He was finally caught and arrested.
A woman in the truck told officers that she was dating Hense and had been physically abused by him, police said, adding that Hense threatened to kill her if she tried to leave him.
Police said the woman had visible injuries to support her story.
Hense was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence, criminal threats, resisting officers, possession of drug paraphernalia and other charges.
On March 4, Hense managed to avoid arrest after he jumped from the vehicle he was driving on Evans Lane just south of Redding.
Shasta County sheriff's deputies with the help of Redding police were unable to find Hense.
Inside Hense's vehicle, deputies found drug paraphernalia and other items belonging to him, investigators said.

Q: Linking inputted text info Right now I have a GUI that when I click on Add Customer a box pops up and I can enter info such as name, address and so on.  When this is done I click Add customer and it adds the info to a .txt file.  Now on the original GUI there is a "Refresh" button that when is pressed it enters the info into a text box called "NameTextCustomers".  It doesn't do this.  I have researched it for hours trying to figure it out.  I have a line in the code that says "NameTextCustomers.setText ("File Info Here");"  After I click the refresh button the words "File Info Here" shows up, so that part works.  I'm assuming that the code would be inserted there.  I think this is the last part I have to do for my code to work the way I want it to.

                    frame.setVisible(true);
    }

                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

                }

}

After clicking the Refresh button, it should enter the info into the text box.

A: OK, figured out the issue with your code. took some time, but it's not too complicated.
But first, don't put too more than one class in a file, this is a bad practice (and made it much harder to go through your code.
The problem is that after you press "Add costumer" in the "customer" window you need to send that data to the main application window. how to do that?
Add FVolume parent; to the customer class and change the constructor of Customer class to receive not only a String, but an object of FVolume:
public Customer(String who, FVolume _parent)
    {
        popUpWindow (who);
        parent = _parent;
    }

and you have access to the main window from the customer.
Now you need to be able to change the text of NameTextCustomers, so create a new method in FVolume class that allows to change it from outside:
public void setField(String str)
    {
        NameTextCustomers.setText(str);
        NameTextCustomers.validate();
    }

Next thing will be to call this method when someone press "Add customer" in the "Costumer" window. you already have a listener, but let's change it's actionPerformed method a bit so it won't only save the String to your file, but will also set it in NameTextCustomers. (I didn't put the last lines of the method, but no change there)
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent addCusHandler) {
    int StateIndex;
    try {
        File file = new File("Customer.txt");
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        boolean success = file.createNewFile();
        if (success) {
            ExistTextCustomers
            .setText("Customer.txt file created file added");
        } else if (file.canWrite()) {
            ExistTextCustomers
            .setText("Writing data to Customer.txt, file added");
        } else {
            ExistTextCustomers.setText("Cannot create file: Customer.txt");
        }
        try {
            FileWriter fileW = new FileWriter("Customer.txt", true);
            sb.append(NameText.getText());
            sb.append(",");
            sb.append(AddressText.getText());
            sb.append(",");
            sb.append(CityText.getText());
            sb.append(",");
            StateIndex = StateList.getSelectedIndex();
            sb.append(states[StateIndex]);
            sb.append(",");
            sb.append(ZipText.getText());
            sb.append(",");
            sb.append(PhoneText.getText());
            sb.append("\r\n");
            fileW.write(sb.toString());
            parent.setField(sb.toString());
            fileW.close();
            ExistTextCustomers.setText("A new Customer has been added!");
            FileReader fileR = new FileReader("Customer.txt");
            BufferedReader buffIn = new BufferedReader(fileR);
            String textData = buffIn.readLine();
            buffIn.close();

The only remaining issue is related to the construction of the Customer object. we need to add the FVolume object to the constructor, but we shouldn't add it to costumers panel, since it's a different frame:
AddCustomers.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
            new Customer("Customer", FVolume.this);
        }
     });

This only made it work, and I tried to touch the code only when it was absolutely necessary, I didn't try to change the coding style.

Dear Megumi: Your Father Went to Heaven Thinking of You; I Will Carry the Campaign Through
The Sankei Shimbun
This article originally appeared in the Sankei Shimbun morning edition, August 31, 2012. All ages and dates are counted from that date.
"I regret to inform you…"
That was how then-Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Shigeo Uemura began while speaking to Yokota Megumi's father, Shigeru (79) and mother, Sakie (76), in a room at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Iikura Guest House in Azabudai, Tokyo, on September 17, 2002. At a summit in Pyongyang between then-Prime Minister Junichio Koizumi and former North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il, Kim had admitted to abducting Japanese citizens and apologized. Soon after, the victims' family members, who had been waiting at the Iikura Guest House, were informed of their relatives' fate.
"Your daughter has died." In response to this definitive tone, Shigeru fired off questions in rapid succession: "When?" "How?" The only response he got was, "We do not have any details."
The Japanese government then dispatched an investigative unit which conducted multiple meetings with those who were familiar with the case. Their investigation resulted in the following explanation from the North Koreans: "In April of 1994, after entering the Pyongyang City No. 49 Medical Clinic for treatment for a psychological condition, [Megumi Yokota] committed suicide by hanging herself from a nearby pine tree while taking a stroll through the clinic grounds."
As proof, North Korea produced an apparent hospital "death registry." On the back of this form was written, "Registry of Patient Entering and Leaving the Hospital," but the words, "Entering and Leaving the Hospital," had been crossed out multiple times and the word, "Death," written above.
At the time, there was awareness that the registry was a forgery. The Japanese government raised these suspicions with the North Koreans, pointing out that the document was of a "very low level of credibility." Their suspicion was supported given that the words, "Entering and Leaving the Hospital" came around the point same in time that the news of Megumi's ongoing survival came to light in 2001.
As of 1994, Megumi had been living in the same invitation center as some of the other abductees who had eventually returned to Japan. The abductees were sure that Megumi had been taken to the hospital, but when asked about her alleged death, they replied that they had only heard rumors to that effect thereafter.
Why was she declared dead? The origins of the "Megumi has died" scenario sketched by North Korea have started to come into view, however dimly.
Two years ago in July, Kim Hyon-hui (50), a former espionage agent and one of the people responsible for the 1987 bombing of Korean Air Flight 858, visited Japan for the first time. At a villa in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, Kim met with the family members of Yaeko Taguchi, who was abducted from Japan at the age of 22.
The former spy held a Japanese passport under the name of Mayumi Hachiya, pretending to be a Japanese woman. Taguchi was the one who was forced to teach Kim how to become Japanese. Kim had come to Japan in order to speak with Taguchi's family members about Kim's memories of her.
In the evening of that same July day, the father, Shigeru (79) and mother, Sakie (76) of Megumi Yokota, who had been abducted at the age of thirteen, joined in the meeting. Megumi had been forced to teach Japanese to a spy and colleague of Kim's in North Korea. Sakie revealed what Kim told her: "Yaeko and Megumi are surely still alive. But they will both likely be the last ones to leave North Korea."
"Bring back native instructors so our agents can learn how to pose as locals." Thus did former Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Il order his spy agency in 1976 to begin abductions of Japanese. In the one to two years following Megumi's and Taguchi's abductions, many more Japanese were abducted by North Korea. Kim was one of eight students who took the first round of lessons on how to pose as someone from another country.
Kim lived with Taguchi for twenty months, from July 1981 until March 1983. Kim perfectly imitated everything about being a Japanese woman, not only the language, but even Japanese table manners and the way in which a Japanese woman washes her face.
At exactly the same time, Megumi was teaching Japanese while living together with Kim's classmate, Kim Suk-hee. After agent Kim Suk-hee parted ways with Megumi, she invited Kim Hyon-hui and together they went just once to visit Megumi.
Kim Hyon-hui had received a written order directly from former Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il regarding the bombing of the Korean Airlines flight. To this day, North Korea refuses to admit responsibility for the act of terrorism which claimed the lives of all 115 people aboard the flight and which was intended to disrupt the Seoul Olympics in 1988. Instead, North Korea claims that "Kim Hyon-hui" does not exist, and that the whole things is a "fraud cooked up by South Korea."
Did Megumi know too much?
When Kim Hyon-hui visited Japan, she told members of the Sukuu-kai—a support organization for abductees and their families—that, "Megumi and Yaeko are involved in the secrets surrounding the Korean Airlines flight bombing, but I think there may be other secrets, as well."
It may be that Megumi was in contact with Kim Jong-Il's entire family. According to information revealed to the South Korean authorities by a former close official of Kim Jong-Il's, "For one to two years around 1995, Megumi Yokota was the home tutor to one of Kim Jong-Il's children."
The Sukuu-kai emphasizes a story heard by a former member of the North Korean People's Army who defected from the North in 2007 from his friend, whose father was an official in the strategy section of the Korean Workers' Party espionage agency that carried out the abductions.
"Megumi has seen things that she should not have seen. She knows a lot. If [the North Koreans] let her go home, she will divulge the secrets of the liaison office (which is the base for the espionage agency)." His statement was made around the end of 2004 or the beginning of 2005, the same time that forensic tests carried out in Japan determined that the skeletal remains purported to be Megumi's were in fact a forgery.
One calls to mind here the assertion that Megumi and Ms. Taguchi are "the victims who know too much."
A government official has said that "there is information that [Megumi and Yaeko] are alive. Day by day, the information keeps coming in from multiple sources [that they are alive]. This information is of varying degrees of certainty, but we have recently received information as to the abductees' whereabouts. The information that they are alive," he continued, "is a trump card for negotiations. Having information is a very important thing."
It has now been ten years since the summit meeting between Japan and North Korea. In order to help ensure a speedy return of the abductees to Japan, the Sankei Shimbun, which was the first to report on these abductions, will continue its efforts to verify what happened and what the Japanese government is and will be doing about on the issue.


Represents a negative force in your life, something you need to overcome but may be afraid to deal with… such as an addiction, an unhealthy relationship, a negative behavior, etc. The longer we ignore or mis-handle something in waking life, the more hostile it becomes and our view of the issue can grow out of proportion. What (or who) do you think the ugly monster in your life is? Your dream is telling you it's time to face it and deal with it properly once and for all.

This year 2018 is going to be the 16thyear while this would be my 8thyear participating in the PhotoMarathon in Singapore! Taking place on 28thJuly 2018 is Canon PhotoMarathon XVI, register now and be a part of a PhotoMarathon for the Community!
I made my maiden debut competing in Canon PhotoMarathon in the year 2008, followed by 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017. From the links, you can read my personal stories during my years of participation, including the various unique, interesting and challenging Canon PhotoMarathon themes during my seven years of participation!
Looking back at my different years of participation, they were some good memories, participating together with friends and taking photographs together in groups for the submission of the competition themes. There were also times when I shot alone, a time whereby I am able to challenge and push myself in the areas of photography creativity, shooting a photography theme under a limited timeline and pressure during the Canon PhotoMarathon competition format. Even though I never won anything during my years of participation, it had always been fulfiling and fun, observing other photographers point of view, how they compose and shoot their photographs based on the same competition themes.
No doubt this is a photography competition with very attractive prizes to be won, Canon PhotoMarathon had always been a fun community event in Singapore for photographers to gather, have fun, catch up, challenge themselves in a fun yet photography challenging competition. Over the past few years, I had seen the organisers making improvements and changes, this year's Canon PhotoMarathon 2018 looks to be something special and refreshing, with a new competition format and also giving back to the community.
What makes Canon PhotoMarathon Singapore 2018 XVI special and different this year? Did you read about my earlier article on Canon Singapore announcement on their two sports sponsorship agreements, someone very special is going to make an appearance!
Back for its 16th year, Canon PhotoMarathon XVI is slated on 28 July at Suntec City Convention Hall 401-402, from 9am to 10pm. This year, Canon is taking a step further by giving back to the community and also introducing exciting new elements such as a 'dusk' challenge in the competition format.

Canon has also pledged to donate all event registration fees collected to The Straits Times Pocket Money Fund (STSPMF), a community project to fund school-going childrenfrom low-income families.
In support of Canon PhotoMarathon which seeks to inspire and bring the photography community closer, Joseph will be at the event to unveil one of the competition themes.
Synonymous to sports, which rallies our community closer together, photography has the powerful ability to transcend differences and connect people from all walks of life.

I am going for my no. 8thCanon PhotoMarathon, it's not so much of a photography competition for me, this is more of a photography community, networking with fellow professionals and gathering of old photography friends, making new photography friends, having fun and giving back to the Singapore community.
