Around 25% of adults suffer from a mental illness. I want to raise awareness about this issue, and help people understand the different aspects of living with a mental disorder a bit better. That's why I'm launching a series of guest posts called Mental Health Mondays, where I give other people the opportunity to share their experiences with mental disorders. This week, Malisa from Purposefully Planned writes about experiencing postpartum anxiety after her having her second child.
Last August, I had my second baby girl. We were thrilled to add a new member to our family, and I was in awe that my body created another perfect little human.
The first few weeks after bringing a baby home are tough both physically and emotionally. For one, you just pushed a large object out of a small space, so yeah, your body is going through some stuff. And on top of that, your hormones are going crazy trying to figure out what the hell just happened to you, you're sleep deprived and sore from trying to establish breastfeeding. And can't stop eating because, holy crap, breastfeeding makes you ravenous. Your clothes don't fit right, you're leaking milk all over the place, your ankles are still swollen from those last few weeks of pregnancy, and you can't remember the last time you washed your hair because the days and nights just blur together.
But I was happy. Our family was complete. We were all healthy. What more could I ask for?
Life went on and we settled into our new routine. My husband went back to work, my older daughter went back to daycare, and I started my second-time mom group to connect with other moms.
Things started happening in my mind that I didn't experience after my first baby was born, and at first, I brushed them off as hormonal. I spoke up about it at my mom group and the instructor told me to "keep an eye on it," but offered no resources. At my 6-week postpartum appointment, I brought it up to the midwife and was given a pamphlet on a weekly group meeting to attend, but I didn't take action.
As the weeks went on, the thoughts became more intrusive.
Every creak during the middle of the night nursing sessions was a burglar coming to hurt me and my kids. An unfamiliar car parked on our street or a stranger walking down the sidewalk was a threat to my family. A sideways glance or nervous looking person at a restaurant was a sociopath about to shoot up the place. Horrible images of someone hurting my kids would flood my mind as I tried to go to sleep at night. Every Facebook story of a child that had terminal cancer or was abused or murdered would leave me in tears as I imagined my own kids in those situations.
Upon feeling anxious about an upcoming work trip to the mountains, I purchased a keychain that had a seatbelt cutter, a glass breaker, and a whistle on it because I kept having visions of the hotel shuttle driving off a mountain and landing in a lake.
It took me 5 months, and the purchase of that keychain, to finally admit that these thoughts and visions were impacting my life more than they should. Up until that point, I hadn't told anyone, not even my husband, specific details about these thoughts. I didn't want to admit that I might be suffering from postpartum anxiety because when you have a baby, you're supposed to be happy! Glowing! Excited! And I was, so I just kept quiet and let it affect my life way more than irrational thoughts should be allowed.
Going in therapy for postpartum anxiety.
I cried through the entire first appointment with my therapist. It was literally the first time I had spoken out loud the horrible things going on in my head. Some of the thoughts I'd had were so dark I could hardly say them, but I did.
It was amazing how much better I felt just by saying the words out loud. It was almost like I realized how irrational they were by speaking them. I kept going to the therapist for three months, learned coping mechanisms to keep the thoughts from distracting me from being present with my family, and started telling people about what I was going through. It was amazing how many of my friends and family related to having these kinds of thoughts, but never sought help.
Almost a year later, I'm doing much better, but there are certain things that send my mind down the rabbit hole to the worst possible scenario. Social media exacerbates the thoughts immensely — there's always some article about a child with cancer, violent crimes, babies dying — so I really have to be careful when scrolling through Facebook. And I do not watch the news, ever. There's way too much negative for me to cling to there.
When I do go to that deep dark place, I ground myself be planting my feet on the floor, resetting my mind and telling myself "that isn't my situation", "my family is safe" or "my kids are healthy." I had a necklace engraved that says BE HERE. I wear it very often and it's my constant reminder to be present in the now, not the what-if. And when people ask me about it, I tell them my story because if even one other person can relate to it, I want to make them feel less alone and help them find someone to talk to.
Mamas, if you are having these thoughts, do not be afraid to speak up and get help. There is more awareness around anxiety and depression today, but postpartum issues are not discussed enough. There are many ways to cope, with or without medication, so do yourself, and your family, a favor by reaching out to someone. Your life will be so much better if you do.

The postpartum can be hard at times, but if you focus on the love and cherish the first moments and hours with your little one, you know that you are going to be okay, they need you to be strong and in the moment.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Saranda!
Thanks for your comment Sandra Lynn! It really is easy to go down the rabbit hole!
I love the honesty and bravery in this post. I'm so sorry to hear that you've had to go through this. As someone who is dealing with anxiety I understand how it can feel. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for your comment, Ellie! I appreciate your response.
Amazing post and I do my big respect to your honestly about this story. I never heard about postpartum anxiety before. But by reading this, make me really much understand how hard this problem it was, I´m personally so happy to heard that you´re finally get through this and you´re win to fighted with this postpartum anxiety.
Bravo and really great story to tell. Thanks for sharing and God bless your family.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this! But you were strong enough to go to therapy and willing to make everything work. Thank you for sharing your story!
This was such a beautifully written article, thanks for sharing it was insightful and I'm really sorry to hear you went through this but glad to hear you're doing better.
Thank you for raising this up, I suffer from a slightly different type of anxiety where I am petrified of dying, a little less now (my anxiety is now under control) but the moment I thought of leaving my daughter it made it 100x's worse.
Such a horrible thing to experience, but a very brave thing to share. I've never had to go through this, but know people who have – thanks for sharing!
This post is me. But I can get like this before i had a baby to. I would lay there at night worrying over silly things. Now ive had Lily things are a a lot worse, more when she was a baby then now (a toddler) But I lay there and panic about what if there was a fire. I go through in my head how i would get Lily out, and then t can get as silly as after watching walking dead I get horrible thoughts of living in a zombie world and one attacking Lily. Our thoughts are horrible sometimes.
I also handle it the way you do, I try not to listen to the news to much and I got rid of all the news pages that i had liked on twitter and facebook. Ignorance is bliss.
I'm sorry that you went through this. I cant imagine.
This sounds so tough, intrusive thoughts can be so debilitating and I'd imagine even more so with a newborn to take care of! Thank you for sharing, Malisa, and glad to hear you're doing better now. I love the necklace!

Q: Generating migration scripts after upgrading django and moving from mysql to postgres We have a django app that is running in production.
It used to run django 1.4.3 against a mysql database.
We had all our migration scripts using django south.
We recently upgraded to django 1.11.6. Along with it we moved the data to a postgres database.
The app runs fine, but the migration scripts that are generated using django migrations by using the django models are not fully consistent with the existing schema.
Almost all of the differences seem to be in the index names that are generated.
What are our options to make the django migrations and the database consistent? How do we go forward with this?
Should we generate a new empty database using the django migrations, and migrate the data from the old to the new empty database?
I know we can edit the models.py and set the index names manually but that is too cumbersome, we need to edit hundreds of models; is there an easy way to do that?
Is there a way I can generate the migration scripts from the existing database, and verify if the models are compatible?

Ronald Johan Gottlieb Bandell (Gouda, 24 augustus 1946 – Rotterdam, 16 november 2015) was een Nederlandse burgemeester van de PPR en later de PvdA.

Biografie
Bandell volgde de hbs-a opleiding aan het Antoniuscollege in Gouda en daarna de opleiding aan de Katholieke Sociale Academie in Den Haag. Aan de Universiteit Leiden deed hij ook nog een korte opleiding op het gebied van ontwikkelingssamenwerking.

Zijn eerste baan was die van assistent-accountant begin jaren 60, waarna hij bij de overheid terechtkwam. Een van zijn functies die hij vervulde, was hoofd van de afdeling Molukkers van het toenmalige ministerie van Cultuur, Recreatie en Maatschappelijk Werk.

In 1977 werd Bandell voor het eerst burgemeester en wel in de Zuid-Hollandse gemeente Moordrecht. Hij combineerde deze post van 1982 tot 1985 met die van het waarnemend burgemeesterschap van de zich in de buurt bevindende – en thans niet meer bestaande – gemeente Krimpen aan de Lek. In 1987 kreeg hij de burgemeesterspost van het zuidelijker gelegen Papendrecht. Toen de PPR met onder andere de Communistische Partij van Nederland opging in GroenLinks besloot hij om geen lid te worden van die nieuwe partij maar van de PvdA. Van 1995 tot 2000 was hij burgervader in de Noord-Hollandse gemeente Alkmaar. In 1999 werd hij benoemd tot Officier in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau.

Na op 16 juni 2000 als burgemeester van Dordrecht in Zuid-Holland te zijn teruggekeerd, volgde in 2006 een herbenoeming voor de gebruikelijke periode van zes jaar. Bandell was uit hoofde van zijn burgemeestersfunctie tevens korpsbeheerder van de politieregio Zuid-Holland-Zuid, voorzitter van het Drechtstedenbestuur en de Drechtraad alsook voorzitter van het samenwerkingsverband Regio Zuid-Holland Zuid. In februari 2010 volgde VVD'er Arno Brok hem op als burgemeester van Dordrecht.

In 2005 stond Bandell genomineerd voor Beste Burgemeester. Hij bereikte uiteindelijk een derde plaats. Tevens was hij op Koninkrijksdag 15 december 2005 gastheer van het eerste Koninkrijksconcert dat samen met het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties werd georganiseerd en waarmee de onderlinge banden binnen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden werden benadrukt.

In juli 2010 werd Bandell benoemd tot voorzitter van voortgangscommissie Sint Maarten. Deze commissie hield toezicht op de plannen van Sint Maarten die nodig waren voor de invoering van de nieuwe landsstatus per 10 oktober 2010.

Bandell werd op 23 augustus 2010 door paus Benedictus benoemd tot ridder in de Orde van Sint-Silvester vanwege zijn "inzet op het snijvlak van kerk en samenleving".

In 2011 werd Bandell door de Nederlandse Bisschoppenconferentie en het bestuur van de Konferentie Nederlandse Religieuzen aangesteld als 'kwartiermaker'. Hij kreeg tot taak om de adviezen van de commissie-Deetman voor verbetering van de werkwijze van het katholieke klachtenbureau Hulp & Recht in te voeren. Het doel is het verbeteren van de klachtenbehandeling van slachtoffers van seksueel misbruik binnen de Rooms-Katholieke Kerk in Nederland.

In 2014 werd hij ernstig ziek. Bandell overleed in november 2015 op 69-jarige leeftijd. Bandell was gehuwd, hij had kinderen en kleinkinderen.

Nevenfuncties
Bandell was onder meer in de volgende nevenfuncties actief:
Voorzitter Nederlands Genootschap van Burgemeesters
Voorzitter platform VNG inzake asielzoekersproblematiek en integratie
Voorzitter platform VNG Antillen
Voorzitter Commissie Stedenbaan van het Bestuurlijk Platform Zuidvleugel
Voorzitter Dutch Committee International Council on Social Welfare
Voorzitter Veiligheidsregio Zuid-Holland-Zuid
Lid Stuurgroep Internationale Politiesamenwerking.

Minister who attended D.C. rallies says he's received death threats
By James Mayse Messenger-Inquirer
An Owensboro minister and Webster County native who was in Washington, D.C., last week said a Facebook post of him has resulted in death threats against him and his family.
Pastor Brian Gibson, of HIS Church in Towne Square North, became the center of a social media storm when a photo of him taken with a man seen inside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday was spread among Facebook users.
While the man in the photo was one of the men who stormed the Capitol on Wednesday, Gibson said the photo was actually taken in 2019 during a rally where Gibson spoke in Arizona.
Gibson said Friday he believes some of the threats are attempts to get him to flee Owensboro.
"It's a hit job on me," Gibson said during a phone interview. "People are threatening my life and my family. People from Owensboro have made death threats.
"What I have to say to them is I'm not afraid. I'm a man of God," Gibson said. "... I want to make the statement that I'm committed to Owensboro, Kentucky. HIS Church will stay in Owensboro, Kentucky."
Gibson was in Washington on Tuesday where he was a speaker at an event called "Prayer to Save America," a rally for President Donald Trump held the day before Congress was scheduled to certify the electoral college votes in favor of President-Elect Joe Biden.
"On Tuesday, it was a great day," Gibson said. "On Wednesday I went to hear the president. It was bitter, freezing cold."
Gibson said he decided to go back to his hotel to warm up rather than to march to the Capitol as Trump exhorted the audience to do. "I got a call that something was going on at the Capitol. Somebody told me, and I couldn't believe it, that somebody had breached the doors."
Gibson said he walked to the Capitol but he couldn't see what was going on near the building. "People were around the Capitol singing, 'God Bless America' " and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, he said. "I didn't know what was happening at the top."
Gibson said he condemns "every act of violence," and the people who broke into the building and caused damage.
Gibson estimated there were "at least 1 to 2 million people, and probably closer to 2 million" in the city for the event. "Of those ... you have 200 people who went inside the Capitol," he said. "You can't win like that."
"I'm praying for the injured and the loss of life," he said. "...We are praying for those families and that cooler minds would prevail."

Photos taken inside the Capitol show a man in an animal skin costume with a horned hat, and his face painted red, white and blue, participating in the storming of the building. On Gibson's Facebook page, a photo of Gibson and the man was shared, which Gibson reiterated was taken last year in Arizona.
"He looks like a character from 'Animal Kingdom,' " Gibson said, adding, "I walked over and took a picture with him and posted it on Twitter and Instagram and said, 'This guy has the best outfit today.' "
I saw the pictures (after Wednesday's incident) and said, 'Holy moly, that's the guy from Arizona,' " Gibson said. With the photo being shared now, Gibson said people are attempting to "make it look like I ran wild through the chambers, bringing destruction (to) our Capitol, (which) is crazy."
"They found all of my numbers, they posted my address and threatened my life," Gibson said.
Gibson said he does believe there was fraud in the November election.
When asked about GOP election officials that have vouched for their states' election results, Gibson said, "a lot of those guys hate President Trump, because they can't control him. It's beneficial to them to get him out of the way."
Numerous courts have ruled against election lawsuits filed by Trump attorneys, and the states did not object to their voting results or send alternate electors to Congress to be counted Wednesday. Gibson repeated a number of claims that have been espoused by Trump and others about fraud. Trump's claims have been repeatedly debunked.
"I absolutely 100% believe this election was stolen," Gibson said. "They are manipulating the numbers ... I 100% believe the election was a sham and I've seen boatloads of evidence."
Gibson said he does not support the storming of the Capitol, although he questioned who was responsible.
"I think they're justified to peaceably assemble and protest," Gibson said. "But if there were barriers set up ... they shouldn't have crossed those barriers. I don't know if there were or not.
"I don't condone the violence, bloodshed or destruction of property," he said, adding that the Capitol belongs to citizens.
"Why would you tear up your own house? It makes no sense to me," he said.

Dolphins coach did not name a starting QB, Ryan Tannehill did it for him? Ouch
Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin has not been able to come out publicly and name who his starting quarterback would be for the game this week against the Oakland Raiders in London. Well today during a press conference Ryan Tannehill told reporters who will be the starter.
Tannehill told reporters on Wednesday that he will be under center when the Miami Dolphins face the Oakland Raiders in London on Sunday. He made the statement minutes after Philbin declined to name his starter for the third straight day.
"(I'm) taking the first snap of the game and playing the game," Tannehill said.

Horrible holding there not called


This was a sample illustration mock up for a magazine. I created it aged ago but though, even though the magazine never went ahead, the illustration was still cute. I drew part of it on tracing paper and then used other mixed media (gold foil, ribbon and sequins) to give it some texture and colour.

Union / Union match reports
A poor start for the Blue & Gold
Posted by Ben Tracy on March 26, 2010 at 9:08 pm
OK, OK, it was just the first game. Not only the first game of the season, but the first game EVER – on the road, against one of the top teams in MLS, on a slippery plastic pitch. One could argue the referee played a role. There is no need to panic. However, there's also no need to gloss it over: the Union were poor last night.
Le Toux attempts to control ball, keep shirt (Photo by Tom Hauck/Getty Images North America)
-It is a time-honored tactic of coaches in all sports to criticize referees or their opponents to deflect attention from their own team's lack of performance. Peter Nowak's post-match comments calling out Freddie Ljungberg for being a bit light on his feet come as no surprise, however that does not make them any less disingenuous. While the Freddies Ljungberg and Montero may have been, ehem, "embellishing" a bit, does this matter if they're actually being fouled? Union players were making reckless and silly challenges. Dave Myrie, apart from looking way out of his depth, was lucky to escape with a yellow after launching himself into an NFL-style hit. Being a tough, physical soccer team is fine if you win games, but if the results don't follow, it's a great way to turn off a fanbase, just look at Bolton Wanderers.
-There appears to be a serious lack of pace in this team. Perhaps it was opening day jitters, but the Union players always seemed to be half a yard behind the game.
-Ryan Pine quite rightly pointed at the frankly bizarre starting formation as a reason for the team's early struggles. Toni Stahl at center back is fair enough, many defensive midfielders eventually find their best position is in the back line. But as for Danny Mwanga in midfield…yikes. It's just one game, but it begs the question, why spend the top pick in the draft on a player if you're going to completely change his position?
-Jordan Harvey playing Montero onside is an early candidate for bonehead play of the year. I will give him a pass however, as I'm sure Peter Nowak gave him a right bollocking in the locker room afterwards.
There will be some growing pains with this team, and there are still many reasons to be optimistic. There is a core of young and promising talent, a great fanbase and what looks like will be a great stadium. But there appears to be a ways to go before this team really makes its mark in MLS.
Author: Ben Tracy Ben is a Philly expat living in Brooklyn with an unhealthy footy obsession. You can usually find him in section 117 on Union gamedays.
Jeremy L. says:
I definitely agree about the lack of pace. It was particularly pronounced in defense, but there were several balls in to the forward line that quicker players would have exploited, but our guys just couldn't catch up to and lost the balls out to touch or the defense. I'm hoping Mwanga, for instance, was just tentative in the new position (which hopefully is a temporary thing), and that when playing up top has a more aggressive first step.
While your point about Toni Stahl's future positioning is well taken, it seems nearly criminal to make this switch for his professional debut, especially considering the central midfield role he vacated was filled by none other than Michael Orozco, a noted center back… Am I taking crazy pills?


The world today is slipping so fast into disaster. You hear of bomb blasts today, the next day hurricane, earthquake, fire, etc.
Every single day on earth has got a disastrous even/story to offer; and many are living in fear, not knowing what disaster or destruction would befall them. But the word of the Lord says today, FEAR NOT!
Do not be afraid of sudden disaster, do not be afraid of sudden fire, sudden death, sudden poverty, sudden bomb blast, or destruction, because the Lord is your security, He is your guide and guard; He will shield you and keep you from destruction.
Rest in His ability today, trust Him to do what He says He would do.

C.B. 3 Report: B-Side's Chip Shop, Bowery Beerhaus, 9th Street Espresso's Brewski Bid
By EDNA ISHAYIK
Edna Ishayik
Community Board 3 may have set a record last night: with 27 items on the agenda – including Ninth Street Espresso's bid to serve beer, a pitch for a German beer hall on the Bowery, and a Starbucks location's attempt to win back its sidewalk seats – the board's State Liquor Authority committee meeting ran past 2 a.m.
The main event: the owners of B-Side are hoping to open a spot at East Broadway and Clinton Street that would be "totally different" than the punk bar on Avenue B and would include a chip shop purveying "the best fish, chips and falafel you've ever had," according to owner Sivan Harlap.
In an e-mail, Ms. Harlap called the new venture a "grown-up version of B-side," explaining that "there are things I am interested in now that I wasn't that all interested in when I was 22 – craft beers, cocktails, thoughtful food, this new place will reflect those new interests."
Speakers lined up to argue in favor and against the new watering hole that would be catty-corner to the Seward Park Cooperative. Some neighbors said they looked forward to having a place to grab a drink or a bite in an area that isn't laden with bars and restaurants. But opponents, some of whom were concerned about loud noise, had collected over 600 signatures, partially through churches and schools nearby. Read more…


Nice one Glynn, caught him at the right time to talk about his work and his love for it, in all its methods. The quiz was fun and comical, we now need you to answer the same questions.

How To Get A Girlfriend easy!
From the moment that you meet a woman, you have to have it set straight in your mind that you are not trying to be her friend. You are not trying to buy her things, you are not trying to agree with everything that she says and you are not trying to do her any favors just because you like her.
I listed below some of samples of texts (that will not by any means fail with girlies) that you can use. Use these principles and a girlfriend will never ignore your text messages again and will be texting you like a serial maniac. The three examples below calls for your undivided attention.
First of all you will need to recognize that you're having an attack and nothing more. There is no danger in your proximity and you are also not losing your mind.

As 2016 began, fears of the Great Recession still loomed as further dollar appreciation and oil prices below $20.00 a barrel were causing a spike in recession fears and consumer spending behavior directly reflected the mood in the early spring real estate market. So far, this year has continued to move in a positive direction in the Charlotte region. We are seeing housing inventory slowing rise in areas like Myers Park, Eastover, Dilworth and Uptown Charlotte.
Last June, there were 54 homes on the market in Myers Park as opposed to 50 at the present time. Pending sales in Myers Park have increased from 24 homes over $500,000 last year to 28 this year at the same time frame. The activity in Dilworth continues to be healthy, however, closed sales have cooled off from a high of over 31 closings over $500,000 compared to 19 closed sales today.
Eastover has picked up pace this year in closed sales. Sales have increased dramatically demonstrating a push from Myers Park. The Uptown Charlotte area has also seen an increase in residential and commercial activity. It seems there are announcements each day of new projects in the Queens City. There are over 59 units on the market and 33 pending over $250,000.00 in the Uptown area at the present time.
In the last 60 days, there have been 31 closed sales of residential properties in Uptown over $250,000.00. I remain optimistic about the Charlotte real estate market and feel confident real estate remains to be a stable investment. In fact, a wide variety of consumer indicators show that household income, wealth and job prospects are the best in over three decades.
The Housing market continues to recover from the past several years. Housing permits, a leading indicator, rose slightly in May to 1.138 million units seasonally adjusted annual rate. Single family homes are currently running slightly below an 800,000 unit annual pace, more than double the average levels at the bottom of the housing recession, but well below 1.8 million unit annual pace reached in 2006. Thus, we are most likely to continue and see existing home prices rise.
Many believe that residential investment is poised to grow near double-digit pace for the next few years. I would welcome the opportunity to set up a private consultation to review a strategic real estate plan for you.
One of the latest corporate announcements in Charlotte is Grabbagreen, the fast casual concept known for its fresh and healthy alternative to fast food, announced a five-store agreement in North Carolina with Jeff and Nancy Adams of JNZR Enterprises, LLC. The Adams plan to have two Grabbagreen locations open in Charlotte, North Carolina by the end of the year.
As a healthy eater, I am thrilled to see this latest news. Also, this continues to create more job opportunities for our community. Unemployment insurance claims rose 13,000 for the week ending June 11 to 277,000. This level suggests that job growth will pick up over the next few months. One thing is certain and that we reside in an extraordinary city where corporate relocations continue to happen on a daily basis.
Another positive indicator for our economy is that retail sales continue to track for a strong second quarter rebound. Following a 1.3% gain in April, retail sales have risen a solid 0.5% in May on broad-based gains. Consumers continue to flock to their devices as online sales continue to grow at a rapid pace. Non-retail sales rose for the 9th consecutive month and are running at a19.4% annual rate over the last three months.
Matthew's Clients have great things to say about working with Reside Charlotte | Reside Realty, LLC.
The Marsh family: "This was my first time going through a home sale on my own, and from start to finish Matthew was extremely helpful with the process. He helped explain things along the way and kept me informed about what was going. He truly helped make an overwhelming and stressful process more manageable, and ultimately got my home sold!

Tiger Moms, Drop-Outs, and Credentialism (oh my!)
Now here's a controversial news item: Peter Thiel, famous for having founded PayPal and investing early in facebook, and now a billionaire, is paying young entrepreneurs to drop out of school. His Thiel Foundation has just named 24 "fellows" under 20 who are recipients of $100 000 and mentoring opportunities with high-powered and successful entrepreneurs in order to launch a profitable initiative. They are all drop-outs (of college or high school), a requirement for the prize.
His logic is that many would-be students of elite schools would be better off going right out into the world to generate "significant wealth," rather than learn about the theories behind what others have said and done and invented. And while I would never blindly advocate that anyone drop out of school, given the prevailing societal opinion about education and the very real value of exposure to new ways of thinking, his initiative is perhaps a useful antidote to those who do blindly advocate more schooling as the solution to all of society's ills. Education is a wonderful thing – I would even say that it is the key to solving many of the world's great scourges, such as intolerance, authoritarianism, and the solid grip of misinformation. In a way, Thiel is saying that it is the ideas and the work behind them to make them successful that counts, not the name of one's alma mater (or even the existence of one).
Credentialism – in the form of collecting degrees and designations from acclaimed institutions – has become a powerful shorthand for measuring societal status. It is iron-clad in an aura of meritocracy, because in theory only the best are able and would choose to obtain a degree or three at the world's (and especially America's) finest educational institutions. But, as with all shorthands, a focus on credentials alone as a stand-in for intellectual or societal worth fails is insufficient and at times unfair.
The education situation in many developed countries is drastic. Every year, millions of the world's best students vie for a place in one of the mere hundreds of top institutions, trying to best each other in any way possible. A recent issue of the Atlantic explores the phenomenon in depth as part of an extended look at the "tiger mom" debate brought about by the now-infamous book by Amy Chua (there is a good write-up on it here, in case you live under a rock and missed it). Much of the furore over the book was caused by the implicit challenge of Chua's winner-take-all style of parenting. In refusing to give in to her daughters' tears, frustration, exhaustion, and in some cases disturbing behaviour (biting the piano?), Chua claims she paved the way to their happiness by allowing them to know what they were capable of. More recently, her eldest daughter's acceptance to Harvard has renewed the wave of anxious hang-wringing by "Western" parents who think they aren't pushing their children hard enough to get into good schools and assure their futures.
But are the hours of heartache, rebellions and tooth marks on family instruments worth it? Is pushing a child to his or her limit, encouraging activities like building orphanages in Africa, chairing the local youth orchestra, and volunteering as an assistant surgeon on weekends in order to secure a spot at the Ivies the key to lifelong success and happiness? Is it even likely to yeild a coveted admission letter? Not really, according to what Caitlin Flanigan writes in response to Chua's book:
Elite-college admissions offices drive professional-class parents crazy because in many respects they do not operate as meritocracies. Consider, for example, those students admitted via one of the two programs that stand as strange mirror opposites: those that give preferential treatment to the sons and daughters of alumni, and those that extend it to the children of unrepresented minorities. The latter practice suggests that generations of injustice and prejudice can be redressed by admission to a fancy college, the former that generations of inclusion and privilege demand their own special prize; the two philosophies would seem to cancel one another out, but each has its place in the larger system.
In fact, when you account for all of the "hooked" seats in the freshman class—spaces specifically set aside for kids who have some kind of recruited talent or family connection or who come from an underrepresented minority group—you accomplish, at the most selective colleges, two things: you fill a large percentage of the class (some researchers believe the figure is as high as 60 percent), and you do so with kids whose average grades and scores are significantly lower than your ideal. Now it's time to swing a meritocracy into place; the caliber of the class is at stake. All of the unhooked students are now going to be thrown into a hypercompetitive pool, the likes of which the layperson can't imagine. As daunting as the median grades and test scores of the typical Princeton admittee may appear, those statistics have taken into account all of the legacies and volleyball players and rich people's children who pushed the averages down.
Sounds terrifying, doesn't it? And what's more, there is a growing pile of literature that argues it isn't worth it. These days, people go to university for four main reasons:
To attain practical/vocational knowledge that will tangibly help them get a job.
To attain theoretical or other knowledge that will expand their minds in an area of interest.
To please their parents/society/employers who consider a post-secondary education to be a mandatory status symbol. The better the reputation of the school, the better the status symbol.
To make connections with peers and professors.
The main benefits of a "top-tier" education, as opposed to one from a large public American or Canadian school, lie in the last two, status and connections. Sharing a room with a future Mark Zuckerberg or getting to vacation on the yachts of the rich and famous must be worth the price of admission, right?
William D. Cohan thinks not, writing in the New York Times that getting into an Ivy League school is a "Pyrrhic victory," with the outcome of having monstrous student debts (from $50 000+ per year fees) and only slight better-than-average job prospects in a glum economy. Many other American schools have astronomical fees, and even relatively cheap Canadian educations place graduates in debt. There is also, as I referred to above, the non-monetary cost of an education at a prestigious school. Whole families are swept up in the hyper-competitive race to the top, where lazy summer vacations and boredom and play are replaced with summer volunteer trips to Kenya, SAT prep courses, and the endless repetition of mastering a musical instrument.
But the saddest part is that it may all be for naught. A sister article in the same Atlantic issue as the above quotation charts the potential life course of many products of tiger-led households:
Harangued by my own Tiger Dad, I grew up believing in crack math skills and followed—at least initially—a stereotypical Chinese path of acing my tests; getting into the world's most prestigious science university, Caltech (early admission, no less); majoring in the hardest, most rarefied subject, physics … And then what? Almost 50 years old now, some 30 years after graduation, I look at my Caltech classmates and conclude that math whizzes do not take over the world. The true geniuses—the artists of the scientific world—may be unlocking the mysteries of the universe, but the run-of-the-mill really smart overachievers like me? They're likely to end up in high-class drone work, perfecting new types of crossword-puzzle-oriented screen savers or perhaps (really) tweaking the computer system that controls the flow in beer guns at Applebee's. As we know, in this tundra-like new economy, even medical degrees, and especially law degrees, may translate into $250,000 of unrecoverable higher-education debt and no job prospects, despite any amount of hard work and discipline.
The reality, of course, is that there is life after graduation, and I imagine that a lot of students and parents who sacrifice their lives perfecting their viola performance and polishing their resumes will get there and wonder what the hell happened — and what to do next. The same is true for all graduates who feel lost after school, and who may have underplayed their social and entrepreneurial skills in favour of tailoring their lives to academic pursuits that will not help them once they have their degrees. And so I support Peter Thiel's initiative because it addresses the fact that it takes more than a few letters from any school to achieve success in life.

Comic Book Reviews (Week January 6, 2021): Future State Harley Quinn Issue 1, King in Black Issue 2, Getting It Together Issue 4, and More!
January 7, 2021 Farid-ul-Haq
Future State: Harley Quinn Issue 1 (Image: DC Comics)
Welcome to my comic book reviews for this week (January 6, 2021). I will be covering Future State: Harley Quinn issue 1, Future State: Wonder Woman issue 1, Getting It Together issue 4, and more!
So, a number of Future State titles were released by DC Comics this week. And I have to be honest. I couldn't make myself be interested in a bunch of them. Not only do I think I will be wasting money on stories that are supposed to only run for a couple of months before DC Comics goes back to releasing the main series of books, but I'm also 'meh' about the types of stories being told.
Anyway, I did decide to pick up Future State: Harley Quinn Issue 1 written by Stephanie Phillips. I'm not the biggest Harley Quinn fan out there. I prefer her playing a supporting role in books starring bigger guns she can bounce off. However, I do have to say I enjoyed Phillips's take on Quinn. Many readers forget that Quinn is a very smart woman. She's a psychiatrist, after all. Yes, she's crazy, but there's a method to her randomness.
The first issue showed her being captured by Scarecrow. As someone not important enough to get killed instantly, Scarecrow ended up finding a better use for Quinn's talents. I enjoyed Phillips writing a story about Quinn helping Scarecrow capture criminals around Gotham. The way Quinn exploited what made bad guys like Professor Pyg and Firefly tick made sense. I can't wait to see where Quinn's current (forced) team-up with Scarecrow will lead them. I think taking down Black Mask is going to be tough.
The art and colors by Simone Di Meo and Tamra Bonvillain, respectively, gave this book a very futuristic feel. I loved it!
Does it have obvious queer characters? Yes.
Recommendation: PICK IT UP!
Future State: Wonder Woman Issue 1 (Image: DC Comics)
Future State: Wonder Woman Issue 1
It's clear that DC Comics are expecting great things from the new character Yara Flor. She even has a live-action TV series in the works, even though she officially debuted just this week in Future State: Wonder Woman issue 1.
With Joelle Jones serving as the writer and artist, I'm not really sure how to feel about this book. Jones's art (with colors by Jordie Bellaire) is amazing. But I always give a side-eye to art that features women in less superhero clothing compared to men. I don't understand why heroines have to go about saving the world wearing, basically, a one-piece bathing suit while the heroes are dressed from head to toe (even when they have impenetrable skin). So, yeah, seeing Yara Flor in such clothes was disappointing.
As for the story, Yara wants to bring back her dead sister from Hades's Underworld. That's when Caipora comes in to escort Yara. This new Wonder Woman is impatient and has anger issues, which I think could speak to a number of readers. As for me, writers giving young people such issues and calling it a 'personality' isn't my thing. So, here's to hoping Yara has more layers.
Jones is clearly taking a modern take on the lore featured in this story (which reminded me of the Percy Jackson series). Due to Yara's origins, I have my fingers crossed this book goes deep into Brazilian mythology.
Does it have obvious queer characters? No.
Recommendation: Up to you.
Knock Em Dead Issue 2 (Image: Aftershock Comics)
Knock Em Dead Issue 2
From writer Eliot Rahal, Knock Em Dead issue 2 leaned into the supernatural stuff Pryor has found himself in. A ghost (named Danny, I think?) has taken over his body and will be using his body to fulfill their dream of becoming a successful comedian. But at what cost? The possession has already made Pryor experience a change in his personality. I think her sister might end up playing a role in helping him, somehow. And yes, I continue to appreciate a comic book story about adult siblings and their strained interactions without any outside romantic mess involved (as of yet).
The art by Mattia Monaco and colors by Matt Milla does an amazing job of making the panels look very creepy whenever the supernatural stuff comes up. Something horrible is going to happen. And I can't wait!
Getting It Together Issue 4 (Image: Image Comics)
Getting It Together Issue 4
Coming to another comic book featuring siblings, we have Getting It Together issue 4 by co-writers Sina Grace and Omar Saphi. The latest chapter served as a conclusion, showing how our main cast of characters have grown and what we can expect from them in the future (fingers crossed Grace and Saphi return to tell more slice-of-life stories).
Everyone seems to have changed for the better. But I think many of us know how random life can be. So, even if Lauren, Sam, Jack, and the rest seem to be in a good place right now, their circumstances could be different the next time we see them.
Watching Lauren find her identity as a solo artist was fun. I think Grace and Saphi captured the life of an indie artist quite well. I was expecting more panel time with Jack, though. But oh well.
Recommendation: Pick it up.
Happy Hour Issue 3 (Image: AHOY Comics)
Happy Hour Issue 3
I was provided with a free copy of Happy Hour Issue 3 for review. The opinions I have shared are my own.
Wow! From writer Peter Milligan, I was not expecting THAT to happen in Happy Hour issue 3. A lot occurred in this issue and I have a feeling everything needs to grow worse before it, hopefully, becomes better. The latest installment divided the panels among four stories. Yes, that can be a narrative mess. But kudos to Milligan for making the arcs flow.
We get to see how people live under Landor's control. Misery is a counter to happiness. However, the kind of misery that Landor advocates for seems to be as extreme a measure as forcing people to feel permanently happy.
Kim and Jerry's runaway adventure lands them in more trouble. Jerry has emotional baggage and trust issues. Seeing him become paranoid over whom Kim secretly talked to over the phone was a sad turn of events. He clearly has feelings for her. I like them as a team. But it's about to get messy.
We also had developments for Hamm and Chief Agent Sullivan, which I don't want to spoil. Things are out of control!

Stream The Spy Who Loved Me 1977 full movie
You don't review James Bond movies, you evaluate them, rate them according to how well they meet expectations. There are certain things one has come to expect, even demand of a Bond film and each individual effort either delivers or it doesn't. So, here are ten elements that make a Bond film a Bond film and how THE SPY WHO LOVED ME rates on a scale of 1 to 10: Title: THE SPY WHO LOVED ME: The title seems more appropriate for a Harlequin Romance novel, and if suitable at all for a Bond film, it would have been a better title for ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. Yet, it does finally work the word "spy" into the title of a Bond film. 7 points. Pre-Credit Teaser: It's all very nicely done: Within a few minutes, we see a submarine stolen and its crew kidnapped; we meet the Soviet's top agent, who just happens to be -- surprise! -- a woman; and we get the added treat of one of Bond's greatest stunts, the great skiing-skydiving trick. A pretty cool way to kick off the film and set up the various story lines. 9 points. Opening Credits: Arguably the silliest of all of Maurice Binder's efforts, the opening sequence finds 007 bouncing around on a trampoline while various miniature, and apparently naked, babes do gymnastics on the barrels of guns. (Pity he didn't come up with that idea for THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN.) Bordering on self-parody, it is nonetheless naughty and fun and colorful and oh-so very James Bond. 9 points. Theme Song: No beating around the bush here, the song gets right to the point: "Nobody does it half as good as you, Baby, you're the best." Just what Bond is best at is open to interpretation. The music by Marvin Hamlisch is swanky and matched by Carol Bayer Sager's dreamy and only slightly sarcastic lyrics. And Carly Simon's vocals bring it all home. Maybe not the best Bond song, but right up there. 9 points. "Bond, James Bond": Moore finally makes the role his. The number of smug one-liners have been trimmed, yet he still invests the character with humor -- plus some warmth and charm, and unexpected sadness. And we get to see a bit of Bond's vanity as he matches wits with a female agent who is his equal and not impressed by his stock-and-trade flirtations. Moore's best appearance as Bond. 9 points. Bond Babes: The prevailing notion has always been that "Bond Girl" equals "Bimbo," which is only partly true. Most of the women Bond encounters are highly skilled professionals -- as well as being bimbos. But Soviet agent Major Anya Amasova, a.k.a. XXX, is the first Bond Girl to give James a run for his money. She's smart, sexy, capable, resourceful and it takes her almost the whole movie to actually fall in love with Bond. What will power! As played by Barbara Bach (a.k.a., soon-to-be Mrs. Ringo Starr), Anya ranks as one of the best Bond Girls, easily worthy of 9 points. Bond Villain: Karl Stromberg (nice villainous name, by the way) is one of those mad billionaires who hopes to create a new world order by mass genocide and building a new society, this time underwater. It is pretty much a cliché character and unfortunately Curt Jurgen plays the part like a grumpy old man and can't seem to muster up even a maniacal laugh. 5 points. Bond Baddies: Oddjob look-a-like Sandor, played by Milton Reid, puts in an appearance long enough to die a memorable death, but it is Richard Kiel who steps into the limelight as Jaws, one of the great Bond villains. If being a hulking, seven-foot tall muscle man weren't enough, he also has steel teeth and an amazingly obsessive desire to kill 007. Playing Wile E. Coyote to Bond's Road Runner, Jaws earns 9 points. Sinister Plot: Stromberg steals a Russian and a U.S. sub, as well as a British one, with the hopes of starting World War III and destroying the civilization as we know it today. Been there, done that. 4 points. Production values: Romantic imagery, clever lighting effects and intriguing camera angles make this the most visually appealing Bond film. In the past, the emphasis was always on the most effective way to film action sequences, but here director Gilbert Lewis strives for that little bit extra as far as mood and romance. 9 points. Bonus Points: Connery had his Astin Martin and Moore gets a Lotus Esprit. It is not nearly as snazzy, but it does turn into a submarine and you never know when that will come in handy. 5 points. Summary: It had been hinted at in the three previous Bond adventures, but a new sense of style is fully apparent here. The roughness and grit that many of the purists loved about Connery's films are pretty much gone in favor of a polish and panache. Whether that is being suave or merely superficial is open to interpretation, but it does set the tone and the expectations for all future Bond adventures. Bond-o-meter Rating: 84 points out of 100.

Hector' and Achilles Clash in the Iliad by Homer Essay

Predominance of glory
The individual and family
We will write a custom Essay on Hector' and Achilles Clash in the Iliad by Homer specifically for you
The Iliad by Homer is one of the greatest literature pieces about Western civilization and its values are still similar to what people experience in the contemporary times. Hector and Achilles are both prominent warriors in their respective societies, but their values vary widely. The two characters are termed as great men and heroics, but the battle between them brings instigates the reexamination of one key issue represented in the Iliad.
The issue to consider is the values advanced by the two warriors, which reflect their motives on the battlefield. In the Homeric culture, the honor for all people is fundamental, but it means much to a hero, as his honor is preeminent. Hector is a warrior who represents the Trojans in the fight for his people and family's honor. On the other hand, Achilles leads the Greek army, he is alienated, and in many ways, he lies beyond the reader's imagination. In a bid to expound this topic, this paper will argue that although respect among societies is earned on the battlefield, the quest for individual honor fuels wars coupled with magnifying the differences between Hector and Achilles. Acquiring glory and pride is magnified to the extent that men prepare for either life or death on the battlefield.
The differences between Hector and Achilles as transcribed in the Iliad show how Homer evaluates the conflict arising from personal and societal values. Achilles comes out as a controversial character because just as other epic heroes he seems to be driven by passion and emotions rather than reason. As the poem begins, Achilles is not ready to take orders from Agamemnon, the king of the Greeks, and he is agitated at losing argument to the king.
On the other hand, Hector acts in a humanistic manner and he appears to demonstrate reason as opposed to passion. Despite being moved by his desire to protect his wife and son, Hector, the great Trojan hero, fights to protect his city, but he understands that the grounds for the conflicts are not justifiable of the amounting damage (Hall 25). Hector is cautious, backs off at the time of an attack, and even hesitates to plan the next attack.
Despite Hector upholding the norms of the society and presenting the values of many, he does not hesitate to go to war to fight for individual honor. For Hector, achieving individual honor represents the values he is intimately fighting for in life. Society is bound by the strong bonds of love and unity and Hector represents such ties on the battlefield. Even though Hector does not want to widow his wife, he understands that fleeing the battlefield damages the societal values and it is better to fight and lose or even die.
Achilles has less to worry about as he is only focused on the prize. Achilles responds to his personal feelings without considering how his acts affect the entire society. He plays his role with respect to what is important to the larger community. For instance, when he is about to give into Achilles' mercy in return for gifts, he quickly realizes that this act will be detrimental to society, since he is to be held responsible for giving out the treasures of Troy.
Book 22 displays how Hector demonstrates pride and honor as he refuses to refrain from confronting the approaching Greeks even after his father, Priam, warns him to get behind the walls for safety (Dué 287). As the other warriors go hiding behind the walls, Hector fearlessly confronts Achilles. His motive is clearly understandable, as he knows that he has an obligation to protect his land and people. Hector should have listened to his wife Andromache to remain in the city with their son Astyanax, but he is aware of the significance of his role in the war.
His drive for reason and sense of obligation help him to outdo the feelings of fear and defeat. In contrast, Achilles is idiosyncratic as he fights for personal reasons and other people's concerns are secondary to his motives. This conflict between Hector and Achilles demonstrates the differences between the idiosyncratic and societal values. In Iliad, Homer shows the need for both individual and societal values, but he argues that individual skills and honor should be applied to attain societal values (Hall 51).
This text recognizes the social bonds of love and peace that tie the Homeric family, but it also acknowledges the need to pursue glory. Andromache keeps on asking Hector to withdraw from any activity that threatens the future of their son, but he has a strong belief that military glory is highly reckoned over family life. Achilles longs to return home, but the desire to win by remaining in Troy and avenging Patroklos suppresses this urge. Although the two warriors value the significance of the glory to the extent that they voluntarily risk death, the values that influence their quest for glory vary significantly.
Achilles proves the mightiest warrior in the Achaean army, but his misguided values prevent him from acting with humility and integrity. In many instances, he fails to manage his pride or the consequences that follow when his emotions are triggered. For instance, Achilles withdrawals from confronting the Trojans and as a result Patroklos dies in the hands of Hector. Achilles comes out as independent and domineering as he compels people to act in a manner that pleases him. Going to war is a mark of maturity and responsibility, while withdrawing underscores indolence and irresponsibility. Hector is aware that devoting to his family over warfare is a misguided priority and he has to go out and prove his worth on the battlefront.
Hector has a family, which he has an obligation to take care of, but Achilles does not have any family-related responsibilities. Some of the values that Hector depicts include sympathy and love, but the Iliad does not ignore the truth about warfare. Warriors like Hector and Achilles expect cruel deaths and they are not afraid of this fate (Adams 5). Women serve as slaves and concubines alienated from their families. Diseases breakout in the military camps and destroy the army.
The two warriors have diverse ways in the manner they perceive these issues. In terms of family, Hector seems to take time and stay with his wife and son whilst ensuring that his honor does not get lost. In spite of his bonding and compassion for his family, Hector is aware that he is a defender of the Trojan and nothing can stop him from going to war. On the other hand, Achilles has only his mother and a friend, Patroklos, but he does not demonstrate substantial attachment to them. Achilles only goes back to his mother to grieve a condition, which is not going well for him. Unlike Hector, Achilles does not seem to have a good understanding of his role as a warrior, as seeking to revenge on Hector for killing Patroklos does not symbolize his concern for humanity, but his growing anger to avenge (Dué 283).
The scene of the last confrontation of Hector with Achilles shows that Hector is highly civilized and human. This assertion holds because when Hector realizes that he has been purely left alone in the battle, his men have either died, or sought safety behind the walls, he quickly examines ways of evading the conflict. Hector decides to flee from Achilles and he is aware that he is betraying all he has lived for by defending the Trojans. This aspect illustrates that Hector has a notion of civilization since he has to weigh the consequences of the war. Hector decides to act from a humanistic perspective, and thus he flees from the battlefield.
Unfortunately, Athena, the goddess of the Achaean, disguises herself to appear as Hector's friend. Hector thinks that he has the needed support and decides to fight Achilles and win his glory. Achilles is driven by the anger to avenge Patroklos by killing Hector. Before his last breath when Hector confronts Achilles, Hector appeals for an honorable burial from his community. This aspect shows the extent to which Hector is civilized as opposed to Achilles who objects this appeal and instead decides to torture the corpse, which depicts disrespect (Dué 280).

Hector demonstrates strong human side and he takes time to decide the best option for himself, family, and society. Although both Hector and Achilles demonstrate significant desires for pride and honor, their motives for fighting are different. As shown in the essay, both warriors are great symbols in their armies and they value pride as they seek respect from all. However, the differences between Hector and Achilles emerge in the way they value this glory. For Hector, as much as he gains much respect from society, it is a pleasure for him to protect his community. In contrast, Achilles' motives are individualistic and the needs of the society are secondary to his motives.
