Werner Lämmerhirt (* 17. März 1949 in Berlin; † 14. Oktober 2016 in Bodenwerder) war ein deutscher Gitarrist, Sänger und Komponist.

Leben
Lämmerhirt gilt als Wegbereiter der Fingerstyletechnik in Deutschland. Er wirkte in den 1970er Jahren als Studiomusiker an Aufnahmen von Hannes Wader mit und begleitete ihn auf Tourneen. Sein virtuoses Gitarrenspiel orientierte sich am US-amerikanischen Country Blues und an Gitarristen wie Marcel Dadi und Davey Graham. Dessen Instrumentalstück Angi befindet sich – mit dem Titel Angie – auf Lämmerhirts erstem Soloalbum, das 1974 auf dem Plattenlabel Stockfisch Records veröffentlicht wurde.

Ein weiteres Charakteristikum war seine rauchige Gesangsstimme. 1975 nahm er unter anderem mit den Gitarristen Klaus Weiland und Sammy Vomáčka ein vielbeachtetes Session-Album auf. Im Laufe der Jahre entstanden etliche musikalische Projekte mit anderen Musikern wie Michael Lohrengel, Peter Ratzenbeck, Peter Finger, Colin Wilkie und Wizz Jones. Während er auf den frühen Alben meist englischsprachige Songs auswählte oder selber schrieb, präsentierte Lämmerhirt auf seinen späteren Alben eigene deutschsprachige Lieder. 1998 wurde er mit dem Ravensburger Kupferle ausgezeichnet.

Ab 2001 veranstalteten Lämmerhirt und der Kunst- und Kulturverein Kultini e. V. jedes Jahr im November die Veranstaltung "Nacht der leisen Töne" in seinem Wohnort Bodenwerder.

Im August 2016 gab er auf seiner Webpräsenz das Ende seiner Karriere bekannt. Zuvor hatte er alle anstehenden Konzerte aus gesundheitlichen Gründen abgesagt. Lämmerhirt starb, an Krebs erkrankt, am 14. Oktober 2016.

Instrumente
Lämmerhirt spielte als Hauptinstrument bis zu seinem dritten Soloalbum (1976) eine Martin D-35S, eine Dreadnought-Gitarre mit geschlitzter Kopfplatte und Halsansatz am zwölften Bund. Danach verwendete er Instrumente des deutschen Gitarrenbauers Oetter. Bei Stücken, die mit Effektgeräten und elektrischer Verstärkung gespielt wurden, wie z. B. To Live by the River  vom Album All Alone, kam eine Ovation-Gitarre zum Einsatz. Ab Ende der 1990er Jahre spielte Lämmerhirt auf Gitarren von Knut Welsch aus Erlangen und Stevens aus München.

If you've been on social media lately, you've no doubt seen the mass amount of food pictures posted. People are going out to restaurants and taking pictures of their culinary delights to share with their friends and followers. At home, they are making food and showing the ultimate plated results or even step-by-step pictures of the preparation. Others are sharing recipes in video form from well-respected foodie websites. Once you get onto Instagram and see the displays of food, it may trigger a few cravings.
But how is social media affecting what we eat and how we eat it? Eating is inherently a very social activity, and has been throughout history. Food and the social media platforms have definitely formed a unique relationship and food trend. Since Instagram launched in 2010, more than 208 million posts on Instagram use the #food hashtag.
Restaurants and other companies along the food chain have started to take notice of the power of social sharing, and how it can influence the development of new flavours and dishes based on trends, as well as create word-of-mouth promotion for themselves. Some of the latest trends include some wilder ideas, such as avocado toast and even a Unicorn Frappuccino. Starbucks introduced this frappuccino for a limited time and it was buzzing across many social sites. The drink starts off with a sweet, fruity flavour and then transforms into a sour drink. With fairy powders, whipped cream and pink and purple highlights, the drink is being shared at an unprecedented rate through photos, recipes, and video reviews. As for avocado toast, the price of avocados is now higher than it has been in 19 years, and this is being somewhat credited to the popular trend.
Anyone in the food business at any point along the chain needs to monitor social media food trends to stay in the loop – #foodies are definitely spreading the news and it's happening faster than wildfire.

Practicing Law in Indiana: Federal Civil Practices Update for the Southern District of Indiana - 2017
8/9 - Northside CLE Tour: A Checklist of Critical Edits to the Purchase Agreement for the Real Estate Seller
Elizabeth Eichholtz has quickly established herself as a leader in the Indianapolis legal community through her work and her volunteerism. Her advocacy has been exemplary, especially given her age and short time in practice. She has a passion for family law, often working with high- net-worth individuals, and serves as a guardian ad litem in Hamilton County. She sees her role not just as her client's lawyer but as an advocate for justice. Elizabeth is an active participant in the Indianapolis Bar Association and Foundation, and she regularly volunteers on Election Day and provides pro bono legal representation.
(IL photo/Eric Learned)
What issues arise in cases with high-net-worth individuals as compared to other family law cases?
Several issues which arise in cases involving high-income earners and/or high-net-worth individuals include determining a parent's "gross weekly income" for child support purposes; determining the appropriate weekly child support obligation for high-income earners and whether a deviation from the recommended Guideline obligation is warranted; and complex valuation issues associated with marital assets, such as business or investment interests.
What excites you about family law?
I feel as though I make a difference for each client. No day or case is the same. While it is not always easy to practice family law, I do enjoy the work because I feel that I am able to assist clients through a difficult transition in life.
What will the legal profession look like in 15 years?
It is tough to say. I think the legal profession will be very different in 15 years given that technological innovations have changed the profession so much already since I began practicing law. I am also hopeful that during this time, more women will enter the legal profession and continue to diversify the workplace.
Your father is a judge. How much did that influence your decision to become an attorney?
A lot. I am very close with my Dad. He is my mentor and role model. I was in and around politics and the legal profession at an early age because of him. This greatly shaped my decision to enter the legal profession.
If you couldn't be a lawyer, what would you do for a living?
A cast member on "SNL" or a judge on "The Voice."
What was the most memorable job you had prior to becoming an attorney?
I served as the courier to the Indiana Court of Appeals after my freshman year at Purdue University. This was a memorable opportunity because I was able to personally interact with the appellate court judges and their law clerks.
What is the most important lesson you learned from your mentor?
The importance of listening. You can learn a great deal by listening.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
I see my husband, Aaron Walker, and I with a growing family, while I continue to practice law in Indianapolis. I also hope to mentor younger attorneys as so many wonderful attorneys have done for me.
What civic cause is the most important to you?
I serve as a guardian ad litem in Hamilton County. I find this to be very rewarding work, as I am appointed to represent children in a family law action and serve to represent their best interest. It is a wonderful opportunity to help families in transition and to give of your time to be the "eyes and ears" for the courts.
Why is it important to be active within legal and community organizations?
I believe it is important to be active within legal community to motivate younger generations of attorneys to continue to do the same and maintain the quality of our profession. I believe it is important to be active within my hometown to help our city continue to grow and develop.

La piazza Castello es la plaza principal de Turín, Italia, corazón del centro histórico de la ciudad: aquí están situados varios palacios de la ciudad, como el Palacio Real y el Palazzo Madama. En la Piazza Castello confluyen cuatro de las principales vías del centro: via Garibaldi (peatonal), via Po, via Roma y via Pietro Micca.

Historia
Proyectada en el 1584 por Ascanio Vitozzi, la plaza tiene una superficie de unos 40 000 metros cuadrados, que la hacen la segunda más grande de la ciudad, tras la Piazza Vittorio Veneto. Dañada en la guerra civil que ensangentó Turín entre los años 1637 y 1640, fue reconstruida por Cristina de Francia, madre de Carlos Manuel II de Saboya, futuro duque de Saboya. Hizo modernizar el antiguo Palazzo di San Giovanni, el Palacio Real, y comenzó las obras del Palazzo Madama entre 1645 y 1646.

Durante todo el siglo XVII y buena parte del XVIII la plaza estaba dividida en tres sectores distintos: la zona más antigua, en la que confluían la Via Dora Grossa, hoy Via Garibaldi, otra zona construida tras la ampliación de la ciudad hacia el río Po, por tanto hacia Via Po, y la última zona era la de la Piazzetta Reale, entonces todavía separada del resto de la plaza por un muro de ladrillo. Esta estructura, compuesta por un largo porche, era usada por los Saboya como lugar desde el que miraban las manifestaciones públicas como la exposición de la Sábana Santa. Este muro redujo la plaza pero le dio un aire majestuoso. Llamado popularmente Padiglione Reale (Pabellón Real) o Terrazza di Piazza Castello (Terraza de Piazza Castello), fue destruido en el 1811 por un incendio desarrollado durante los festejos por el nacimiento del Rey de Roma. Fue después, por deseo de Carlos Alberto, cuando se sustituyó el pabellón con una barandilla de hierro fundido, proyectada por Pelagio Palagi entre 1835 y 1842. Otra importante estructura, perdida con el tiempo, era la galería que unía el Palacio Real al Palazzo Madama, transitable en su interior por los Saboya, y usada como el lugar donde se colocaban las colecciones de arte. Esta galería fue realizada en madera, ordenada por Carlos Manuel I en el 1606 y decorada por Federico Zuccari, Nicolò Ventura, Giovanni Crosio y Guglielmo Caccia detto Moncalvo. Destruida por los incendios de 1667 y 1679 fue reconstruida por órdenes de Carlos Manuel II pero demolida finalmente por los franceses de Napoleón.

Durante la ocupación napoleónica los edificios de la plaza corrieron el riesgo de ser demolidos: alguien sugirió a los ingenieros del Emperador que destruyeran el Palacio Real y el Palazzo Madama para destinar el lugar a Campo de Marte. La suerte quiso que Napoleón considerara el proyecto una locura y se conservaran los monumentos.

En los primeros años del siglo XX atravesaban la plaza tranvías y automóviles, hasta el 2000, cuando, gracias a un amplio proyecto de renovación del centro de la ciudad, fue peatonalizada. Esta apreciable y radical reorganización de la circulación ha permitido a la plaza albergar manifestaciones importantes: en el 2005, albergó la primera etapa del Festivalbar, mientras que para los Juegos Olímpicos de Turín 2006 y los Juegos Paralímpicos de Turín 2006 se construyó un palco en el cual se premiaron a muchos atletas; para esta ocasión la plaza se renombró Medals Plaza (Plaza de las Medallas). Desde 2010 alberga el concierto final de los MTV Days.

Edificios históricos
La Piazza Castello es el centro de Turín y, durante el período de permanencia en la ciudad de la Corte de los Saboya, fue el lugar más importante del Estado piamontés: por tanto, en ella se encuentran los edificios de mayor importancia y de mayor valor artístico.

En la plaza están situados, aparte del Palacio Real y, en el centro, el Palazzo Madama, el Teatro Regio, el Palazzo della Giunta Regionale, la Armeria Reale, el Palazzo del Governo (actualmente sede de la Prefectura), la Biblioteca Reale, el Archivio di Stato, la Iglesia de San Lorenzo, y el Palazzo Chiablese. Estos edificios, construidos a lo largo de los siglos, ofrecen una visión de la historia de Turín: por ejemplo, el Palazzo Madama, cuyo verdadero nombre es Casaforte di Casa Acaia, y se levanta sobre las ruinas de la antigua puerta romana, transformada posteriormente en castillo. El Palazzo Madama fue posteriormente la sede del Senado Subalpino.

Monumentos
En la plaza, alrededor del Palazzo Madama, están situados tres grandes monumentos:
 El primero es, frente a la Via Garibaldi, la escultura dedicada al Alférez del Ejército Sardo, inaugurado en abril de 1859, obra de Vincenzo Vela.
 En el lado con dirección a Via Roma, está el monumento al Caballero de Italia, obra de Pietro Canonica en el 1923.
 Finalmente, en el lado hacia Via Po, está la obra de Eugenio Baroni dedicada a Manuel Filiberto de Saboya-Aosta.

Pórticos
Piazza Castello está rodeada en tres de sus cuatro lados por pórticos monumentales, construidos en épocas diferentes. Los situados al lado de la Via Garibaldi, los más antiguos, se construyeron según el diseño de Vitozzi; los situados en los lados de Via Po y el Jardín Real se remontan al reinado de Carlos Manuel III de Cerdeña, a la mitad del siglo XVIII. En 1830 se colocó la primera pavimentación de los soportales y, por tanto, de la plaza, que antes estaba cubierta con adoquines.

Los pórticos occidentales se denominaron, por lo menos hasta la mitad del siglo XIX, con el apodo de Portici della Fiera (Pórticos de la Feria): en este lugar se celebraban dos importantes ferias de Turín, una con ocasión del carnaval, y la otra cerca de la Exposición de la Sábana Santa.
Con ocasión de los Juegos Olímpicos de Turín 2006, se renovaron completamente los característicos gabbiotti en el interior de las arcadas de los pórticos para albergar las variadas actividades comerciales, manteniendo las connotaciones históricas.

Proyectos futuros
Según un proyecto aprobado recientemente por la Región de Piamonte, la plaza será afectada por las obras de la Línea 2 del metro, cuya primera fase prevé la construcción de la estación Castello.

One of the assistant coaches for the Durham Lords men's basketball team has been named the head coach of a new provincial program.
Deluxshan Pathmanathan, Durham's lead assistant coach and recruitment coordinator, will take on the role of head coach for the first Ontario basketball under-13 boys development program this summer.
"I've always hoped to be a head coach at a provincial level," says Pathmanathan, who was the assistant coach for the U14 group last year. Despite that hope, he says he was surprised to get the position this year.
"Because this is my second year with the provincial program, I was expecting possibly another assistant coaching position," says Pathmanathan.
The U13 program will consist of 10 to 12 student athletes and is a development group to teach players the Canadian style of basketball and prepare them to one day possibly play for older age provincial and national teams.
DC's director of athletics Ken Babcock says he is excited for Pathmanathan.
"Deluxshan has had a number of opportunities come his way, you know, based on his hard work, his enthusiasm, and his drive to be the best coach he can be," says Babcock.
Pathmanathan says the players in the U13 program will meet once or twice a month on weekends from March to mid-July. He says basketball takes up a lot of his time.
He also has international coaching experience on his resume. Pathmanathan went to Sri Lanka to coach that country's under 18 national team in September, 2018.
He credits his wife for being supportive of his passion for the sport.
On top of being head coach for the provincial U13 program, Pathmanathan will also head coach the Ontario summer development program for Durham Region this year.

Part of: Women and climate change
Can solar pumps give Nepal's women farmers a brighter future?

Giving women loans to buy solar panels for irrigation - and access to land - can help them build resilience to climate change
Amrica Devi Yadav, a farmer from the Terai region in Nepal, is not alone in her struggle to grow food.
"I cannot grow many vegetables with just watering cans. But in our village, we do not have many options for irrigation. Electricity is not reliable and diesel pumps are too expensive for us," she explains.
Yadav lives on a one hectare farm, with her husband and two children in the village of Rayapur, in the Saptari district. During the long dry season, like many others, she finds it hard to cope with her workload, juggling between household chores, childcare and watering her vegetable plot.
Terai is Nepal's food basket with 71 percent of paddy rice, 64 percent of wheat, and 58 percent of total vegetable production coming from the region. Yet the crop productivity in the many small farms of this region (on average 0.7 hectare) is low, partly due to the difficult access to irrigation.
Despite being blessed by abundant and accessible (only 5 to 15 meters deep) underground water resources, many Terai farmers do not get water during the dry season to grow cash crops like vegetables. Only a third use water pumps for irrigation and a meagre 11 percent of underground water is exploited, as pumping is either unaffordable (diesel costs) or unreliable (electricity).
Could solar pumping be a solution to address food security and poverty among smallholder Terai farmers like Yadav? This is one question the Water Lands and Ecosystems CGIAR research programme explored during the project "Multiple approaches to solving agricultural water problems in mid hills and Terail in Nepal and India".
Led by the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), with the local NGO Sabal Nepal and the social enterprise SUNFARMER, specialized in affordable solar energy technologies, the project aimed to demonstrate the potential of low-cost solar powered irrigation pumps (SPIP) as an alternative for irrigation.
Three pilot solar pump sets were installed in Saptari district, one of them for the women farmers association in Rayapur village, of which Yadav is a member. Saptari was chosen as it ranks second among Terai districts for vegetable production, but is of the one of worst for productivity (15th ) and women's land ownership is particularly low. This district also has the highest male migration rate among Terai districts and poor access to electricity (only 42 percent of households use electricity).
The impact of the pilot pumps on crop production and livelihoods in Saptari was very positive. With the three solar pumping sets, over nine additional hectares of land were irrigated from August 2015 to July 2016, increasing the cropped area by 28-30 percent. It significantly reduced the use of diesel pumps (from 792 to 206 hours), representing 80,000 Rs ($750) savings for the 30y families that benefited from the solar pumps.
Yadav particularly appreciates the eased workload. "This solar pump has made irrigation physically easier for me," she says. "We were able to irrigate cash crops like eggplant, potato, chilli, garlic, coriander, onion seed, green leafy vegetables and pointed gourd during the dry season and get a good income."
Solar pumping is a viable option for farmers to boost their yields and incomes as current models could irrigate 3-5 bighas (approx 2-3.3 hectares) all year around with up to Rs 50,000 savings in diesel costs assuming that the solar pump replaces the use of diesel pump.
Yet, solar pumping technology is still out of reach for most Nepali farmers who do not have the financial means to pay upfront for such equipment. Only 15-20 solar pumps for irrigation were installed in the country at the time of the study compared to over 13,000 in India and 400 in Bangladesh. Scaling up would only happen if appropriate financial models adapted to smallholder farmers were developed.
What is the best model to scale up this technology?
To satisfy the growing demand for solar pumping, the project has tested three financing solutions to scale up the adoption of solar pumping sets.
Through a randomized controlled trial, 3 financial models are being offered to farmers in 93 Village Development Committees in Saptari to test their acceptance among farmers. The benchmark model (grant model) mirrors Nepal's renewable energy policy by offering a 60 percent grant with the farmer paying 40 percent upfront. The other two models are a grant cum loan model, where in addition to the 60 percent grant, farmers also get a loan, and a pay-as-you-go model, where a 50 percent grant goes to a solar pump entrepreneur who in turn rents out the pump against monthly or seasonal fees.
To improve irrigation access for women, the grant is greater for them (70 percent instead of 60 percent), on the condition that the land on which the solar pump is installed is transferred to the woman.
More than 2,600 farmers attended live demonstrations during a 45-day-long campaign in September and October 2016. About a quarter of the participants were women. This campaign generated 65 demands for SPIP. The grant cum loan model generated 46 percent of the demand followed by the pay-as-you-go model which generated 33 percent of demand.
In a region where women's land ownership is very low, 75 percent of the applications were from women. It shows that gender-differentiated grant schemes could spark a more equitable land access for women. Further down the line, it will be interesting to evaluate if solar pumping succeeds in boosting women's empowerment, in a region where irrigation is seen as a male domain.
"This season, I have tried new vegetables like broccoli which is in high demand in the local market. The solar pump system is easy to operate and thanks to it, I will continue grow more cash crops," says Yadav. With continued government support and the right financial models, the benefits of solar irrigation will hopefully reach other Terai villages.

An interesting deal we won't win
By mjkagan	| Last updated 08/03/2015
I got a call about an interesting building in Highland Park a few weeks ago.
Ordinarily, these are the types of calls I love… an interesting deal, a broker with whom I've done plenty of business, etc.
But this one is almost definitely not happening, and here's why: Because it's a bankruptcy sale conducted under the auspices of the court, there is no "inside edge" available.
It's a straight auction, in which whomever is willing to pay the most wins, with no regard for actual ability / willingness to close, etc.
So, we're bidding against everyone who ever read an article touting Highland Park as the next Silver Lake. And, because there are plenty of dentists who can come up with a few million bucks, it's very unlikely we've going to get the deal.
There are three reasons main someone might outbid me on a deal like this:
Underestimating the costs of the rehab;
Over-estimating the rents (or, the rents achievable at a specific renovation level); or
Willingness to accept a lower return.
I'm obviously fine with #3. The other two irritate me, because, while it's always nice to see a competitor screw up, there's no way for me or my investors to profit from it.

Baha Mar opening delayed again
The opening of the Baha Mar resort property has been delayed yet again, with no opening date in sight. According to recent reports by The Bahamas Tribune, a dispute over payment between the site's owners and the main contractor is being suggested as the cause behind the delay. While reservations are currently being accepted at two of the development's four hotels as of Sept. 8, no official opening date has been announced, according to the publication. Originally set to open last December, the opening was then pushed back to March 27. Days before the opening, however, reports surfaced of incomplete work on several of the resorts, which pushed the unveiling back until at least May.

Cutting isn't new, but this form of self-injury (SI) has been out in the open more in recent years, portrayed in movies and on TV — even talked about by celebrities who have admitted to cutting themselves at some point.
Cutting is a serious issue that affects many teens. Even if you haven't heard about cutting, chances are good that your teen has and might even know someone who does it. Like other risky behaviors, cutting can be dangerous and habit-forming. In most cases, it is also a sign of deeper emotional distress. In some cases, peers can influence teens to experiment with cutting.
The topic of cutting can be troubling for parents. It can be hard to understand why a teen would deliberately self-injure, and worrisome to think your teen — or one of your teen's friends — could be at risk.
But parents who are aware of this important issue and understand the emotional pain it can signal are in a position to help.
Someone who cuts uses a sharp object to make marks, cuts, or scratches on the body on purpose — enough to break the skin and cause bleeding. People typically cut themselves on their wrists, forearms, thighs, or belly. They might use a razorblade, knife, scissors, a metal tab from a soda can, the end of a paper clip, a nail file, or a pen. Some people burn their skin with the end of a cigarette or lighted match.
Most people who self-injure are girls, but guys do it too. It usually starts during the teen years and can continue into adulthood. In some cases, there's a family history of cutting.
A sense of shame and secrecy often goes along with cutting. Most teens who cut hide the marks and if they're noticed, make up excuses about them. Some teens don't try to hide cuts and might even call attention to them.
Cutting often begins as an impulse. But many teens discover that once they start to cut, they do it more and more, and can have trouble stopping. Many teens who self-injure report that cutting provides a sense of relief from deep painful emotions. Because of this, cutting is a behavior that tends to reinforce itself.
Cutting can become a teen's habitual way to respond to pressures and unbearable feelings. Many say they feel "addicted" to the behavior. Some would like to stop but don't know how or feel they can't. Other teens don't want to stop cutting.
Most of the time, cutting is not a suicide attempt. But sadly, people often underestimate the potential to get seriously sick or hurt through bleeding or infections that go along with cutting.
Powerful overwhelming emotions. Most teens who cut are struggling with powerful emotions. To them, cutting might seem like the only way to express or interrupt feelings that seem too intense to endure. Emotional pain over rejection, lost or broken relationships, or deep grief can be overwhelming for some teens.
And many times they're dealing with emotional pain or difficult situations that no one knows about. Pressure to be perfect or to live up to impossible standards — their own or someone else's — can cause some teens unbearable pain. Some teens who cut have been deeply hurt by harsh treatment or by situations that have left them feeling unsupported, powerless, unworthy, or unloved.
Some teens have experienced trauma, which can cause waves of emotional numbness called dissociation. For them, cutting can be a way of testing whether they can still "feel" pain. Others describe cutting as a way of "waking up" from that emotional numbness.
Self-inflicted physical pain is specific and visible. For some, the physical pain of cutting can seem preferable to emotional pain. Emotional pain can feel vague and hard to pinpoint, talk about, or soothe.
When they cut, teens say there is a sense of control and relief to see and know where the specific pain is coming from and a sense of soothing when it stops. Cutting can symbolize inner pain that might not have been verbalized, confided, acknowledged, or healed. And because it's self-inflicted, it is pain the teen controls.
A sense of relief. Many teens who cut describe the sense of relief they feel as they're cutting, which is common with compulsive behaviors. Some people believe that endorphins might add to the relief teens describe when they cut. Endorphins are the "feel-good" hormones released during intense physical exertion. And they can be released during an injury.
Others believe the relief is simply a result of being distracted from painful emotions by intense physical pain and the dramatic sight of blood. Some teens say they don't feel the pain when they cut, but feel relieved because the visible SI "shows" emotional pain they feel.
Feeling "addicted." Cutting can be habit forming. Though it only provides temporary relief from emotional distress, the more a person cuts, the more he or she feels the need to do it. As with other compulsive behaviors, the brain starts to connect a momentary sense of relief from bad feelings with the act of cutting.
Whenever the tension builds, the brain craves that relief and drives the teen to seek relief again by cutting. So cutting can become a habit someone feels powerless to stop. The urge to cut — to get relief — can seem too hard to resist when emotional pressure is high.
Other mental health conditions. Cutting is often linked to — or part of — another mental health condition. Some teens who cut are also struggling with other urges, obsessions, or compulsive behaviors. For some, depression or bipolar disorder can contribute to overwhelming moods that might be difficult for a teen to regulate. For others, mental health conditions that affect personality can cause relationships to feel intense and consuming, but unsteady. For these teens, intense positive attachments can suddenly become terribly disappointing and leave them feeling hurt, anger, or despair too strong to cope with.
Other teens struggle with personality traits that attract them to the dangerous excitement of risky behavior or self-destructive acts. Some are prone to dramatic ways of getting reassurance that they are loved and cared about. For others, posttraumatic stress has had an effect on their ability to cope. Or they're struggling with alcohol or substance problems.
Peer pressure. Some teens are influenced to start cutting by another person who does it. For example, a teen girl might try cutting because her boyfriend cuts. Group peer pressure can play a role too. Some teens cut in groups and might pressure others to cut. A teen might give in to group pressure to try cutting as a way to seem cool or bold, to belong, or to avoid social bullying.
Any of these factors may help to explain why a particular teen cuts. But each teen also has unique feelings and experiences that play a role. Some who cut might not be able to explain why they do it.
Regardless of the factors that may lead a teen to self-injure, cutting isn't a healthy way to deal with even the most extreme emotions or pressures.
Some teens call attention to their self-injury. Or if the SI requires medical attention, that might be a way others find out. But many teens cut for a long time before anyone else knows. Some teens eventually tell someone about their self-injury — because they want help and want to stop, or because they just want someone to understand what they're going through.
It can take courage and trust to reach out. Many teens hesitate to tell others because they fear being misunderstood or worry that someone might be angry, upset, disappointed, shocked, or judgmental. Some teens confide in friends, but ask them not to tell. This can create burden and worry for a friend who knows.
If confronted about the cutting, teens can respond in different ways, depending partly on the teen and partly on the how they were approached by it. Some might deny the cutting, while others might admit to it, but deny that it's a problem. Some might get angry and upset or reject efforts to help. Some teens are relieved that someone knows, cares, and wants to help.
Whether or not anyone else knows or has tried to help, some teens cut for a long time before they try to stop. Teens whose cutting is part of another mental health condition usually need professional help. Sometimes cutting or another symptom leads to a teen's admission to a mental health hospital or clinic. Some teens have more than one hospital stay for self-injury before they feel ready to accept help for cutting or other problems.
Some teens find a way to stop cutting on their own. This might happen if a teen finds a powerful reason to stop (such as realizing how much it hurts a friend), gets needed support, or finds ways to resist the powerful urge to cut. To stop cutting, a person also needs to find new ways to deal with problem situations and regulate emotions that feel overwhelming. This can take time and often requires the help of a mental health professional.
It can be difficult to stop cutting and a teen might not succeed at first. Some people stop for a while and then start cutting again. It takes determination, courage, strength — as well as support from others who understand and care — to break this powerful habit.

In 2007, Microsoft threw away more than a dozen years of baggage and clutter when it introduced the Ribbon. The bold move signaled a dramatic rethinking in how to present relevant tools at appropriate times. New Office users uncovered powerful functionality fast, much faster than they would have in a previous version of the suite. However Office experts, some with many years of experience, battled the new user interface and were confounded by some of the arbitrary placement of their favorite tools. Fortunately, Microsoft created guides to lead them into the new world.

New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, who were behind the bombshell October 2017 story that ignited Weinstein's downfall, appeared on the "Today" show to discuss their new book, "She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement," and shared some never-before-known tales from their reporting.
Perhaps most notably, Twohey and Kantor revealed that Paltrow, despite being Weinstein's "biggest star," was "determined" to help them bring him down.
"Gwyneth Paltrow is one of Harvey's biggest stars, and he had really presented himself as sort of a godfather to her over the years, so I think that many people will be surprised to discover that, when so many other actresses were reluctant to get on the phone and scared to tell the truth about what they had experienced at his hands, that Gwyneth was actually one of the first people to get on the phone and that she was determined to help this investigation," Twohey explained to Savannah Guthrie. "Even when Harvey Weinstein showed up to a party at her house early, and she was sort of forced to hide in the bathroom."

"Harvey Weinstein was extremely aware and extremely scared of what the implications would be if his biggest star actually ended up going on the record," Twohey added.
During the lengthy morning show interview, Kantor also shed light on how exactly they got some of Hollywood's biggest names, like Paltrow and actress Ashley Judd, to speak to them on the record about their alleged harassment at the hands of one of the industry's most powerful producers.
"Even trying to figure out how to reach these famous actresses was kind of an investigation unto itself," she explained. "We couldn't call their publicists, we couldn't call their agents and, so, even if we managed to get Ashley Judd, Gwyneth Paltrow on the phone — which we did — we had to figure out how to say in that first minute, 'Here's an argument for trusting us. Here's an argument for telling us a really private story.' And the line that we hit on, and this really became kind of the basis of our partnership, was that […], we said to victims, 'We can't change what happened to you in the past, but if we work together, we may be able to take this in some sort of constructive direction.'"

Let me introduce to you my Delpozo's ladies team! The clean and simplicity of their looks brought me to keep my drawing minimal, working on soft hues and strokes. The truth is that I really love drawing faces so, this illustration offered me a big chance to exercise with portraits and I enjoyed it so much. I think that there's nothing more to say about the subjects than, as they say, I have this thing with Delpozo - and everything coming from the Josep Font's beautiful mind. It's very stimulating to work on a subject that perfectly embodies your own vision and sensibility, don't you think? I hope that you'll enjoy the final result as much as I did drawing it!

Healing Notes: Music Can Promote Mindfulness, Support Mental Health During Stresses of Pandemic
By: Ahmad Graves-El, SNJ Today
BRIDGETON, N.J. — As the number of cases and deaths continue to rise during this "second wave" of the novel coronavirus, many people are remaining vigilant in their attempts to alleviate the mental and physical suffering caused by the effects of the pandemic.
Many have discovered, or rediscovered, the joys of going outside for a brisk run or walk. Many have taken up fishing and hunting as a hobby, for the first time.
Many have learned that they have a green thumb and the serenity one can attain while working in a garden. Also, many have found out that there was a Julia Child or Emeril Lagasse simmering just under the surface looking for the perfect opportunity to uncork their latent cooking talents. Another solution to help one overcome feelings of despair during these days and times, according to many experts, is music.
What do songs like I'm Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves, Back to Life by Soul II Soul, The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, and The Sun by Ghostface Killah have in common? Although they're designated in different musical genres, these songs, as well as countless others, have the ability to uplift their listeners' spirit and mental health during challenging times of anxiety and stress—like living through a global pandemic.
According to the article "Music Can Be a Great Mood Booster," by Sarah Elizabeth Adler, in aarp.org, she writes about a report from the Global Council on Brain Health titled "Music on Our Minds." The research showed "music's positive effect on emotional well-being, including improving mood, decreasing anxiety, and managing stress."
Like Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, local experts were quick to "second that emotion."
"Music is something that can promote mindfulness and be a self-soothing skill for a person and reduce anxiety and stress," said Robert Whitekettle, LCSW and LCADC with Inspira Health.
Absorbing the healing powers of music can be a dynamic or static activity.
"Music can be experienced in a multitude of ways—actively playing music, singing along with music, 'passive' listening, and/or moving to music," Libby Leidolf, an addictions specialist with Inspira Health, said. "Any of these can be beneficial for mental health."
The pandemic has definitely taken its toll on the mental health of U.S. citizens. A survey study recently published on jamanetwork.com titled "Prevalence of Depression Symptoms in US Adults Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic" discovered "that prevalence of depression symptoms was more than 3-fold higher during COVID-19 compared with the most recent population-based estimates of mental health in the US."
Unsurprisingly, music therapists have long been aware that music can be an elixir to help mitigate symptoms of depression, used as a tool for communication, and as an harmonic platform to connect with others, plus more.
"Music allows for personal expression of emotions, identification with the emotions of others (which can also help relieve isolation and create an experience of community), a means of channeling and focusing energy that might otherwise be experienced as anxiety," said Leidolf, who received a master's in music therapy. Listening to familiar songs/music can recreate an emotional state that was previously experienced in conjunction with that song. This can help someone to re-experience joy from a prior experience as well as helping someone to experience/process grief regarding the loss of prior opportunities or loved ones."
While some may not believe that music has the power to lift people up out of the doldrums, there is proof to corroborate that notion.
"A study done in Italy was published by The Arts in Psychotherapy journal in July 2020," Leidolf said. "This study explored the impact of music listening on a small group of doctors and nurses who were caring for COVID patients. Giving consideration to various musical factors such as rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, pitch, etc., music therapists created playlists designed to reduce stress and increase energy. The study showed a significant reduction in tiredness, sadness, fear and worry after subjects listened to these playlists."
"There is an evidenced-based intervention called dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), which has been researched for decades," said Whitekettle, who planned on being a journalist, but found his calling in the field of human services. "It has been shown that skills developed from this intervention can help promote emotional, mental, and even physical wellness. These skills include mindfulness and distress tolerance, both which can include music as an intervention to self-soothe and relax."
One form of music that can help to "self-soothe and relax", during "normal" times, and especially during the pandemic, is sound bowl healing.
According to mandalas.life the use of singing bowls as a healing agent has been in existence for more than 2,500 years. "The sides and rims of singing bowls vibrate to produce sound and vibration which is used for balancing the physical, mental-emotional and spiritual energy in our body," the site explains.
The positive impact the music emanating from singing bowls has on people is palpable.
"Sound healing will restore balance and release or reduce stress," said Lucia DiSimione, master sound healer and owner of The Nurtured Soul. "One of the guarantees that I can give when someone comes to me either in a group setting or an individual setting for sound healing is relaxation."
When it comes to selecting what kind of music people should listen to when they're feeling down in the dumps, especially during the pandemic, two out of two specialists agree—choose a song or songs that make you feel good.
"…[P]ersonal preference and prior experience with music is a strong determinant for what music a person finds comforting and uplifting," said Leidolf.
"I suggest that a person listen to music that generally uplifts them or inspires them …," Whitekettle added. "In fact, I would take it a step further and suggest that they actually learn an instrument or get a drum and bang on it!"
Leidolf shares one final thought about how people might be able to cope during these inauspicious times.
"We are experiencing a collective trauma as a nation, as a world right now," she said. "We need to find as many ways as we can to connect, create, and play. Music, art, nature, etc., can serve as soothing and grounding forces when the rest of the world is full of uncertainty and chaos."

Linda Webb Gober Bailey, of Hoover, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 31, 2018, at the age of 72, after a lengthy battle with vascular disease. Born on December 21, 1945, to parents James "Jay" and Mary Katherine "Kat" Gober, Linda grew up in Fairfield, Alabama, where she was an active member of Fairfield First Methodist Church. After graduating from Fairfield High School in 1964, Linda pursued her passion for cosmetology and graduated from Trophy Beauty School, and commenced her career in the beauty industry at Kessler's. She married Billy "Bill" James Bailey in 1966 and gave birth to the love of her life, Andrea Lyn, in 1968. After divorcing in the early 1980's, Linda started the second and best chapter of her life when she began working as a sales representative for Gulf States Beauty Supply Company. Calling on salons and sharing her expertise and love for the industry, Linda was a top salesperson and was frequently recognized not just by her company, but also nationally by leading manufacturers, such as Wella, L'Oreal, and Rusk. Her successful career allowed Linda to travel broadly with favorite trips to London, Paris and Vienna. While she loved her work and her clients, nothing could surpass her love for her family and her friends. A fabulous cook, Linda adored celebrating holidays with her parents, daughter and extended family and later with her son-in-law. She had an amazing zest for life, was always the life of any party, and was so very proud of her daughter. But most importantly, Linda had a deep and abiding faith that provided her great comfort, especially in the last few years of her life. Linda was an active member of Bluff Park United Methodist Church where she participated in the food pantry ministry and Compassion Circle. Linda will always be missed but her family and friends are comforted that she is now with her Father in heaven.
Linda is survived by her daughter, Andrea Bailey Powers; her son-in-law, Hayden Powers; her sister-in-law, Margaret Bailey Littlefield (Pete); along with numerous cousins and beloved friends.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful nurses and staff at Talladega Rehab Select and Affinity Hospice for their compassionate care these past few months.
Services will be held at Bluff Park United Methodist Church on Thursday, September 6, 2018, with Reverend Mike Holly officiating. Visitation at the church will be from 10-11 am with services at 11:00 am.
In lieu of flowers, the family request that donations be made to Bluff Park United Methodist Church or the charity of your choice.
