Spineless Advertising Standards 'Authority' Fails the People of New Zealand
January 1, 2014 by AFA Mildura	3 Comments
RE: Fluoridation critic still unhappy after ad complaint rejected
The situation, as summarised in the above article, epitomises how the criminals who promote and implement fluoridation programs continue to get away with their crimes against the people, even after decades of unsubstantiated propaganda. As long as agencies that are charged with enforcing checks and balances on those in power fail to stand up to the bullies and cartel crony kingpins of fluoridation, nothing will change.
The Advertising Standards Authority (NZ) can now join the long list of those who – as history will attest – are worthy of nothing more than hanging their heads in shame on this issue. Let's briefly look at the propaganda claims that were supposedly 'examined' thoroughly by the Advertising Standards Authority and ruled to have been 'substantiated':
Claim 1: Fluoridation "makes a huge difference in reducing tooth decay, particularly for children."
When this claim of "huge" benefit is critiqued, the evidence reveals a miniscule benefit (if any) and certainly not one of noteworthy clinical significance (1) (2) (3) (4).
Claim 2: Fluoridation "is safe."
On July 9th, 2013, the Otago Daily Times featured an article, citing University of Otago researchers now openly admitting that the New Zealand population – despite being exposed for many decades to fluoridation – has not been adequately monitored for potential developmental health effects; and only now is data being collated to look for potential adverse impacts (5). This simply confirmed what researchers and critics of fluoridation have been highlighting for decades; i.e. the disturbing lack of primary health data on the potential impacts of fluoridation.
For instance, as pointed out by Cheng et al. (2007) in the British Medical Journal, "Given the certainty with which water fluoridation has been promoted and opposed, and the large number (around 3200) of research papers identified (by the York Review), the reviewers were surprised by the poor quality of the evidence and the uncertainty surrounding the beneficial and adverse effects of fluoridation" (6). "Is safe," as per the aforementioned advertisement, is an absolute statement that makes no mention of this scientific uncertainty.
As noted by risk assessment expert and former National Research Council Panelist, Dr. Kathleen Thiessen, "water fluoridation at 0.7 mg/L is not adequate to protect against known or anticipated adverse effects and does not allow an adequate margin of safety to protect young children, people with high water consumption, people with kidney disease (resulting in reduced excretion of fluoride), and other potentially sensitive population subgroups. In addition to the "known" adverse health effects of dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, and increased risk of bone fracture, "anticipated" adverse health effects from fluoride exposure or community water fluoridation include (but are not limited to) carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, endocrine effects, increased blood lead levels, and hypersensitivity (reduced tolerance) to fluoride" (7). Other NRC Panelists have also expressed similar concerns (8), whilst more recently, Choi et al. (2012) were not prepared to state that "no risk is present" with water fluoridation (9).
The Advertising Standards Authority (NZ) obviously did not want to ask the hard questions surrounding 'Margin of Safety' (10), nor did it see the need to acknowledge the dearth of primary health data in fluoridating nations (11), or address the point raised by Barbier et al. (2010) that, "Until the 1990s, the toxicity of fluoride was largely ignored due to its "good reputation" for preventing caries via topical application and in dental toothpastes. However, in the last decade, interest in its undesirable effects has resurfaced due to the awareness that this element interacts with cellular systems even at low doses" (12).
Instead, they chose to blindly trust the governmental advertising body as an "expert in the area due to its role" and therefore do not question its claims any further, despite the fraudulent claim to the contrary that the claims were "substantiated."
Claim 3: Fluoridation "provides an affordable benefit to everyone."
Returning once more to Cheng et al. (2007), we quickly discover the truth that yet again, the evidence for this claim is dodgy or non-existent, at best: "Water fluoridation aims to reduce social inequalities in dental health, but few relevant studies exist" (6). And, from the authors of the York Review, "The evidence about reducing inequalities in dental health was of poor quality, contradictory and unreliable" (13) – a point well noted by Dr. Thiessen in a recent Blount County presentation (14).

Water Fluoridation an absolute fraud and abysmal failure and not safe –
Australia in dental crisis after widespread fluoridation Australia wide for decades first commencing Beaconsfield Tasmania in 1953 (also in dental crisis and chronically diseased) and USA also in dental crisis after up to 67 years of water fluoridation/pollution first commencing Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1945 (also in dental crisis – Kentucky USA l00% fluoridated also in dental crisis and chronically diseased). It's a no-brainer – dangerously corrosive hazardous waste pollutants & co-contaminants have no place being disposed/dumped into the peoples' water supplies and hence also contaminating/polluting our food chain. All water fluoridation (pollution) must cease immediately & irrevocably for all time.

Fluoridation Fails – alarming rise in dental hospitalizations U.S. 10th September, 2013 Despite decades of water fluoridation and fluoridated toothpaste that was supposed to all but eradicate tooth decay and put dentists out of business, the opposite is true. From 2000 to 2008, more than 61,000 people were hospitalized in the U.S. for a dental abscess, a 41% increase. The burden on Medicaid to pay for discharges related to periapical abscesses has jumped 74%. Sixty-six patients died while in the hospital. http://www.topix.com/business/dental/2013/09/1309098IGFUV Full story: http://www.drbicuspid.com
FLUORIDE DOES NOT ELIMINATE TOOTH DECAY – Slash stealth sugar intake, dental patients urged
Levels of tooth decay are much lower in diets where less than 10% of the calorie intake comes from free sugars, according to research carried out for the World Health Organisation (WHO) by Newcastle in the UK.
The study also found that fluoride does not eliminate tooth decay, citing dietary sugars as the primary cause. People living in areas with fluoridated water and/or using fluoride toothpaste still got dental caries.

Dental Crisis in America – After up to 67 years of water fluoridation foisted upon Americans by the American Dental Association and its constituents groups, a Dental Crisis exists in America. Senator Sanders introduced legislation to remedy this situation which is endorsed by 37 groups but not the ADA because it includes funding for Dental Therapists which would infringe upon dentists lucrative monopoly. The ADA prefers fluoridation because it doesn't stop tooth decay and doesn't hurt their bottom line. In fact, dentists are making lots of money covering up fluoride-stained teeth with expensive veneers because American children are now over-fluoridated with up to 60% affected with dental fluorosis – white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted teeth. Veneers cost about $1,000.00 a tooth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oaINr51MrM
For some Americans, dental care means a sturdy chair, a fluoride swish, and a free toothbrush. But for one in three Americans, it's a nightmare, including astronomical bills, crippling credit card debt, panicked visits to the emergency room, and life-threatening disease. These hardships are chronicled in a new Frontline documentary, Dollars and Dentists, which airs tonight on PBS stations. Frontline correspondent Miles O'Brien takes us behind the scenes of the documentary that explores America's broken dental system. Frontline is produced by our partner WGBH.

Patent Rolls: entries for Huntingdonshire (1276-1277)
Calendars of the patent rolls of the reign of king Edward I are printed in the Calendars of State Papers: but these cover only a fraction of the material on the rolls. From 1881 to 1889 the reports of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Record Office also include calendars of other material from the rolls - about five times as many entries as in the State Papers - predominantly mandates to the royal justices to hold sessions of oyer and terminer to resolve cases arising locally; but also other general business. The calendar for the 5th year of king Edward I [20 November 1276 to 19 November 1277], hitherto unindexed, is covered here.
CONINGTON. Cost: US$12.00.
Inhabitants of Cambridge (1298-1389)
'Cambridge Gild Records' was edited by Mary Bateson for the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, and printed in 1903. Several important records for the town are brought together: minutes of the Gild of St Mary in the church of St Mary in the Market Place, 1298-1319 (pages 1-13); bede rolls of the same of around 1349 (14-25); minutes of the Gild of Corpus Christi in the church of St Bene't (26-62); returns for all the Cambridge gilds in 1389 (63-128); a calendar of deeds connected with the gilds of St Mary and Corpus Christi (129-150); and also a subsidy roll for the borough, listing householders in the 8th year of king Edward II (1314-1315) (151-157). The gild minutes include lists of persons entering the gild, usually paying a certain amount for alms and for wax for lights (candles). The bede rolls list prayers for the souls of the deceased, using the formula 'pro anima ..... (et ..... uxoris ejus)', 'for the soul of ..... (and of ..... his wife)'. Dates are not generally given, but most of the entries in these bede rolls are from 1349 to 1352.
CONINGTON. Cost: US$8.00.
Inhabitants of Nottingham (1485-1547)
The muniments of the borough of Nottingham include extensive mediaeval archives. A selection from these from the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII was prepared and edited by W. H. Stevenson for the Corporation, and printed, with translations of the passages in Latin, in 1885. The principal sources used are the borough Court Books, largely dealing with civil cases, for which an almost complete series survives for this period; Sessions Rolls (92 survive for the two reigns), in which crimes and misdemeanours are recorded; a Mickletorn or Leet jury roll; detailed chamberlains' and bridge-wardens' accounts; and the Hall Books, or council minutes. There are lists of burgesses enrolled; bakers admitted to bake; and fines for licences to trade. A subsidy roll of 1523-4 lists householders by street, and there is an appendix of local deeds, including some material dating back to the 14th century.
Inhabitants of Suffolk (1568)
By Act of Parliament of December 1566 a subsidy of 8d in the £ on moveable goods and 4s in the £ on the annual value of land was raised from the lay (as opposed to clergy) population. These are the returns for Suffolk, printed in 1909 in the Suffolk Green Book series.
Boys entering Sherborne School (1640)
The grammar school at Sherborne in Dorset, which doubtless existed from the creation of the diocese of Sherborne in 705, was refounded by king Edward VI in 1550. At the quatercentenary in 1950, a fourth edition of the Sherborne Register was published, listing boys entering the school during those four centuries. In truth, the materials for this register survive but fitfully before 1823; for some years, no names are known; sometimes all that is known is a surname. But from 1823 onwards the lists and the details get steadily more comprehensive. By the 20th century the boys are listed alphabetically by surname under term of entrance. Surname is given in bold, then christian names, name of father (surname and initials) and address; year of birth; house (a, School House; b, Abbey House; c, The Green; d, Harper House (formerly The Retreat); f, Abbeylands; g, Lyon House; h, Westcott House); whether represented the school at cricket (xi), football (xv), shooting (viii), &c.; year of leaving; summary of degrees, career &c.; and (in italics), address as of 1950. Names in the early lists marked with an asterisk are found inscribed on the oak panelling or on the stone walls of the former schoolroom. (F) in the lists indicates a foundationer, receiving free education: after 1827, when this privilege was restricted to boys from Sherborne and neighbourhood, nearly all foundationers were day-boys.
Harley family papers (1690-1708)
This collection of letters and papers is particularly interesting in that it includes a file of petitions and memorials to queen Anne from 1704 to 1708, and a similar file of petitions to Robert Harley in his post as Secretary of State during the same years. The collection includes a few items earlier than 1690. Mostly relates to Britain and Ireland.
Licences for marriages in southern England (1632-1714)
The province or archbishopric of Canterbury covered all England and Wales except for the northern counties in the four dioceses of the archbishopric of York (York, Durham, Chester and Carlisle). Marriage licences were generally issued by the local dioceses, but above them was the jurisdiction of the archbishop. Where the prospective bride and groom were from different dioceses it would be expected that they obtain a licence from the archbishop; in practice, the archbishop residing at Lambeth, and the actual offices of the province being in London, which was itself split into myriad ecclesiastical jurisdictions, and spilled into adjoining dioceses, this facility was particularly resorted to by couples from London and the home counties, although there are quite a few entries referring to parties from further afield. Three calendars of licences issued by the Faculty Office of the archbishop were edited by George A Cokayne (Clarenceux King of Arms) and Edward Alexander Fry and printed as part of the Index Library by the British Record Society Ltd in 1905. The first calendar is from 14 October 1632 to 31 October 1695 (pp. 1 to 132); the second calendar (awkwardly called Calendar No. 1) runs from November 1695 to December 1706 (132-225); the third (Calendar No. 2) from January 1707 to December 1721, but was transcribed only to the death of queen Anne, 1 August 1714. The calendars give only the dates and the full names of both parties. Where the corresponding marriage allegations had been printed in abstract by colonel Joseph Lemuel Chester in volume xxiv of the Harleian Society (1886), an asterisk is put by the entry in this publication. The licences indicated an intention to marry, but not all licences resulted in a wedding.
Masters and Apprentices (1737)
Apprenticeship indentures and clerks' articles were subject to a 6d or 12d per pound stamp duty: the registers of the payments usually give the master's trade, address, and occupation, and the apprentice's father's name and address, as well as details of the date and length of the apprenticeship. 1 January to 31 December 1737
Masters of Apprentices (1757)
Apprenticeship indentures and clerks' articles were subject to a 6d or 12d per pound stamp duty: the registers of the payments usually give the master's trade, address, and occupation, and the apprentice's name, as well as details of the date and length of the apprenticeship. 1 January to 31 December 1757.
London Merchants (1767)
The Universal Pocket Companion of 1767 contained, among 'many other necessary and entertaining particulars' this directory of London merchants.

Mapleton National Honor Society coordinates MHS Cares Day
Ashland Times Gazette
The Mapleton chapter of the National Honor Society spearheaded a schoolwide day of caring Monday to participate in community service projects throughout the Mapleton School District and Ashland County, according to a news release from Mapleton.
MHS Cares Day sent Mapleton High School students to 20 community locations for volunteer work, including Ruggles-Troy Ball Park, Nankin Volunteer Fire Department and the Ashland County Fairgrounds.
"It is important to our district to show students the value of community service and providing a helping hand to those who need it, simply for the good of helping your community," Mapleton High School Principal Corey Kline said in the release.
NHS Adviser Kerry Reisinger said in the release she believes that community service is part of being a good citizen.
"Part of good citizenship is taking an active role in your community and caring for the community you live in. Volunteering benefits both the community and the volunteers themselves," Resigner said in a prepared statement.

Johnny Stewart (1872- unknown) was an English association footballer who played as a half back.

Born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Stewart began his footballing career with Old St Luke's. When the club was amalgamated into Old Castle Swifts he continued to play for them until their demise in 1895. A boilermaker by trade, Stewart worked for Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company and played for their works team, Thames Ironworks upon their creation in 1895. One of his first appearances was against a more experienced Chatham side in the FA Cup, which Chatham won 5–0. He did play all the games in the 1895-96 West Ham Charity Cup, including three games against Barking, gaining a winner's medal. His last game for the club was against Leyton in an Essex Senior Cup tie in 1896.

Madison Wallace and her family got the happy ending they were hoping for.
Less than a week after the 5-year-old girl's heartfelt plea for help finding her missing dog went viral online, Madison has been reunited with the pet she thought she might never see again.
Last Monday, the Wallaces' beloved dog, Buddy, managed to escape from the backyard of their home in Akron, Ohio.
Unfortunately, the dog was not wearing a collar at the time, nor was he microchipped — so the family turned to social media for help tracking him down.
Madison's mom, Laurie, posted to Facebook asking folks in the area to keep an eye out for Buddy, but evidently her daughter wanted to let everyone know how important it was for her to get her dog back.
In a video included in that post, a tearful Madison pleaded for her dog's safe return.
"If you find Buddy, please bring him home," she said.
Within days, the little girl's touching message to her community went viral — racking up nearly 11 million views online.
Thankfully, all that attention Madison's video received paid off.
On Saturday, the Wallaces were contacted by a woman who had actually found Buddy on the very night he'd escaped, and had been keeping him safe until his family could be located.
With that, Madison and Buddy were reunited.
While Buddy's story has a happy ending, it goes to show the importance of microchipping pets (which would have made it much easier to find his home).
After all, when the well-being of a furry family member is on the line, it's always best to be prepared.
Click here for more information about getting your pets microchipped.
Girl, you are very sweet, kind and adorable. You know love and you will be happy.


Trypophobia is also commonly known as the fear of holes. It is derived from Greek words, which "trypa" means holes. Trypophobia is the extreme feelings of fear and anxiety towards clusters of holes or bumps and even repetitive patterns, such as honeycombs, lotus pods, body of strawberries and bubbles. Due to lack of studies on trypophobia, it is not officially recognized by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, as it stated that a phobia should affect one's daily routine.
The word trypophobia only went viral on internet in 2005 when it was published by an unidentified Irish woman. However, back to 1990s, Rufo had described where a little girl expressed extreme terror towards holes and paralyzed fear when looking at repetitive patterns on musical instrument. But the first study on trypophobia only be published in 2013, by Geoff Cole and Arnold Wilkins from the University of Essex, in Psychological Science, which is a journal of the Association for the psychological science. Their study concluded that trypophobia is the results of visual discomfort when people unconsciously relate trypophobic images with the features of venomous animals besides is also triggered by the high-contrast colour of the images in midrange spatial frequency. In 2015, Le AT constructed a scale which is known as Trypophobia Questionnaire (TQ) to evaluate the level of discomfort and trypophobic symptoms. His studies show that the bigger the bumps or holes, the higher the discomfort triggered. Le AT had also confirmed Cole and Wilkins study on the influence of spatial frequency on this phobia. While in 2016, Chaya K had done her study on the relationship between trypophobia and social anxiety and it showed that both contribute to the fear of people being gazed at. At the same time, Imaizumi S speculated that the disgust towards scars, sores and scaly-skinned animals could lead to trypophobia too. He suggested that the tendency to have trypophobia is predicted by core disgust sensitivity, personal distress and visual discomfort proneness. Only in 2017, curiousity about whether trypophobia is a specific phobia or obsessive-compulsive disorder is being studied by Vlok-Barnard M and Stein DJ as trypophobia is more to disgust than to fear. Their research also shows that major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder are commonly related to the symptoms of trypophobia. While Can's studies proven that unconscious association between clusters of holes and bumps with poisonous animals is not present, besides arised the question whether is trypophobia a real phobia. In the same year, Kupfer and Le discovered that trypophobic groups might also be affected by their disgust towards skin diseases as previously virulent skin diseases used to form circular shapes on human skin. While in Sasaki's studies on trypophobia, it stated that both low-range or mid-range spatial frequency could affect trypophobic discomfort as well. Apart from that, Sasaki and Yamada did further researches which suggested that discomfort triggered by trypophobia is more likely to happen on people who had skin diseases before and was not confirmed due to lack of evidence.
DSM-5 (2013) states that a phobia has to interfere "significantly with the person's normal routine". While it might not significantly interfere with a person's life, this is probably the normal reaction for someone who suffers with the 'proposed' fear. Current findings indicate that significant numbers of people throughout the world may have a phobia called trypophobia.
An T. D. Le, Geoff G. Cole, and Arnold J. Wilkins (2015) constructed a study based on symptoms of trypophobia. Participants for the study included two samples. 155 individuals aged from 18 to 73 years old which are 28 males and 127 females and 117 individuals which consist of 33 males and 84 females aged from 18 to 50 years old were gathered from users of an online page about trypophobia (Trypophobia: Fear of Clusters of Holes, no date) and University of Essex student and staff volunteers respectively. The first sample is called the "web-based" trypophobic cohort, and the second sample is the "university" group.
Individuals were invited to participate in rating images from 3 categories in terms of unpleasantness after finishing the TQ. The number of volunteers from the "web-based" trypophobic cohort decreased by 17 as they had the choice to opt out of the image rating. Therefore, 138 individuals which consist of 23 males and 115 females and 117 individuals which consist of 33 males and 84 females are the participants for this study.
a) Trypophobic images from an internet-based supporting group (Trypophobia: Fear of Clusters of Holes, n.d.).
Figure 2. Scatterplot shows the average image rating of each participant as a function of their TQ score: (a) trypophobic images, (b) neutral images and (c) unpleasant images (Le et al., 2015).
"The ratings of unpleasantness were coded numerically from -4 through 0 to +4(i.e., ?4 = extremely repulsive; +4 = extremely attractive)." (Le et al., 2015) Figure 2 shows the average image rating of each participant and TQ score (Le et al., 2015). Figure 2a shows the average image rating of each participant and TQ score for trypophobic images (Le et al., 2015). Figure 2b shows the average image rating of each participant and TQ score for non-trypophobic images (Le et al., 2015). Figure 2c shows the average image rating of each participant and TQ score for unpleasant images (Le et al., 2015). Based on this, a little evidence suggested that the symptoms shown by the participants when viewing trypophobic images were specifically related to the unpleasantness induced by those images and not other images.
One of the symptoms of Trypophobia is having goosebumps. Goosebumps are the condition of the skin when it is rough, induced by fear; disgust or the cold; very much like the resemblance of a plucked goose. An individual who suffers from trypophobia would look at a bunch of closely packed holes and feel disgusted. Hence, the sensation of the goosebumps on the skin. This sensation happens momentarily and therefore not for a long time. It stops when the individual is no longer triggered by the phobia. This is from the erection of papillae as a response towards the fear of looking at closely packed holes.
Another symptom is panic attacks, which are also known as an anxiety attack. It is when something so worrisome affects a person physically, and the person feels out of control. It feels like impending doom. When a person feels discomfort from the triggering of trypophobia, he or she may start feeling a rush of emotions which then results in the person beginning to have a meltdown, in which is from anxiety. Hence, the occurrence of a panic attack. When an individual comes across an object with small clusters of holes, the symptoms may be triggered.
Besides that, nausea is also a symptom of trypophobia. Nausea is the feeling of wanting to vomit. "This feeling sends an unusual taste through the mouth causing it to water and results in a look of disgust." (Urban Dictionary,2009). When a person with trypophobia is in eye contact with holes, the individual may experience a stomach discomfort which may lead to the possibility of throwing up. This is from the sick feeling in the stomach from utter disgust of the holes. The feeling of disgust is a cognitive property of visual stimuli.
The fifth symptom is sweating. Sweating is basically the process of perspiration where sweaty liquid is released from the sweat glands. Although this process is able to cool the body off, the anxiety from trypophobia may not make an individual feel this way. According to anxietycentre.com, this is because when a person is having anxiety from trypophobia, he or she may sweat very profusely and excessively. The whole sweating process may also be uncontrollable. Hence, the excessive sweating, whether hot or cold sweat. It is difficult to stop the anxiety and excessive sweating immediately. (Folk. J, Folk. M, 2018).
Lastly, a person with trypophobia may experience itches on the skin. An itch is when the skin is irritable and it requires scratching to ease it. The itchiness would be caused by the feeling of discomfort form the clusters of closely packed holes. This discomfort would result in the skin feeling itchy and crawly. By the fear of holes, the individual may have the thought or imaginations of holes appearing on his or her own skin and as a result, the person would start scratching more and more as the itching gets worse. According to Lewis T, 2014, research shows that the feelings of itching involve a complex system of molecules and cells.
There are many causes will lead to Trypophobia. First of all, it is causes by evolutionary survival respond. "There may be an ancient evolutionary part of the brain telling people that they are looking at a poisonous animal," Cole said in a 2013 press release. Humans have the natural defense and fear against the poisonous animals and any other living things. Many poisonous animals and living things have the similar visual features resembling holes and craters. As results, when people are exposed to pockmarked objects, the brain will perceive it as something bad, harmful and dangerous. Next, it is also a way for the humans to avoid themselves from infecting disease. For example, thousands of years ago, when we saw a person covered in boils or a body covered in flies, we will immediately keep ourselves away from them. This is because the natural aversion to the sight would have helped us to avoid catching whatever they had. This means this fearful instinct may be already established in the genes only.
Moreover, Trypophobbia may be result of deep-rooted emotional problem. There can be an object or bad experiences from the childhood and these make them to suffer with trypophobia. For example, they may trigger some traumatic memories which associated with hole and most probably is bee stings. Possible bee stings and traumatic events in the past that led to swelling wherein the swollen skin display every pore is the good example of why people having trypophobia. It shows that the unpleasant incidents that happens in the past may plant a deep-rooted emotional problem inside a person and this situation is similar to conditioned stimulus.
Next, excessive brain oxygenation is also one of the causes that lead to trypophobia. This is due to the energy their brain uses when looking at the visuals. Our brain uses around 20% of our body's energy. This excessive use of energy by the brain causes discomfort, headache or eye strain. So, they avoid looking at the image that pressurizes their brain. Trypophobia is not limited to images; some individuals may also fear the holes on the skin, meat, on fruits and vegetables, wood, honeycombs etc. There are also people who think there are some harmful organisms living inside those holes which would come out and cause an infestation.
In addition, learning behaviour also donates to the causes of why people suffer with trypophobia. This is because there are some people reported that they were not feeling unpleasant toward the clustered holes until they heard or saw someone else feeling that way. Therefore, it shows that it may be an influence or learnt fear from peoples around that such holes are disturbing.
As of time today, there are a lot of powerful tools offered by modern psychotherapy to tackle isolated phobias such as trypophobia. To go into detail, there are a number of ways to treat trypophobia, but to do so one must learn to distinguish fear from disgust. "It is different for everyone, like all phobias there is more than one solution" (ConsumerHealthDigest, 2018). Whether it's a bad experience, bad memory or simply disgust, do so discover what triggers the repulsiveness.
In some cases, there are therapeutic methods that help treat trypophobia which deals with the brains perception on particular objects and how to overcome it. The most commonly used therapy for treating and managing phobias is exposure therapy, which can be applied to trypophobia by constant exposure to objects which frightens the individual. This method will significantly lessen their fear as the exposure to clustered holes in a safe environment helps reduce fear and decreases avoidance. There are several types of exposure therapy, and each one offers a similar technique but different procedure. The first type is In vivo exposure, which is directly facing a trypophobia; looking at a picture of clustered holes edited on a humans' body. Besides that, another type of therapy called graded exposure, by which the psychologist helps the individual construct an exposure fear hierarchy of pictures of clustered holes that are ranked for the least horrifying or disgusting to the most unbearable level. Furthermore, there's systematic desensitization; exposure therapy combined with relaxation exercises. This makes trypophobia more manageable with association to relaxation methods such as meditation. That's said, during exposure the individual can learn to attach new and more realistic beliefs about trypophobia and become more at ease with the experience of fear.
Moving on to the next treatment which is cognitive therapy. The main goal of cognitive therapy is to change the destructive perception of the patient to improve the symptoms. "Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving" (Martin, 2018). It aims to help deal with trypophobia in a more positive way; improving the way you feel by showing how to perceive these negative patterns. It is focused on the beliefs, attitude, thoughts and images that holds a person's cognitive process and how these processes relate to the way the individual behaves. By improving the way you feel towards clustered holes will alter the way you see it and thus reducing the fear. Not resembling to some talking treatments, cognitive behavioural therapy deals with your current issues, rather than focusing on problems from your past by using practical methods to improve your state of mind on a daily basis.
A new profound therapy called havening or Amygdala Depotentiation Technique ADT, as referred to clinical setting that was developed by Doctor Ronald Ruden from New York is a very effective process that combines therapeutic patterns such as counting and havening touch. How does havening actually work is to first focus on the symptomatic feeling, close your eyes and think about typophobic images and focus in the sensation and the feeling you would get. Then rate the feeling of uneasiness from 0 to 10. Keeping the number in mind, open your eyes and distract yourself by applying havening touch such as crossing your arms and stroke with your hands down from your shoulders to your elbows, this act is called arm havening. Other than that, there is hand havening by which you rub your palms against each other, these will immediately trigger the release of endorphins and serotonin in your body that will enable your neurology to actually deconstruct the phobia so former triggers won't be able to have any effect on you anymore.
Whilst applying havening touch, imagine a relaxing situation while counting from 1 to 20 in your own rhythm and pace. Then begin humming a melody that you like, this will activate a different part of your brain, therefore aiding in the de-linking of the former symptom.
Then, looking from the very far right to very far left and repeating it five times. This will stimulate different regions in your brain, assisting in loosening the neurological connections causing trypophobia. Keep repeating these steps till the trypophobia desire becomes a thing in the past which won't bother you anymore.
From the psychological point of view, a phobia is an anxiety disorder, which has been thought to arise due to a known danger. Thus, people who suffer from trypophobia should know that there is no exact threat to them and should use therapies to overcome their fears.
As a conclusion, even though trypophobia is not an officially recognized phobia, many still claim themselves as trypophobic groups especially the females. Extreme terror and panic tend to arise in them whenever they are exposed to images of tiny holes, bumps and repetitive patterns. Some might even have the feeling of nausea and wanting to throw up just thinking of the trypophobic images. There are still researchers trying to find out the exact cause of this fear. At the moment, ways to treat this phobia are almost the same as other phobias such as exposure therapy, cognitive therapy and combination therapy. However, it will still take some effort for psychological scientists to prove that trypophobia is a phobia as it is always triggered often by disgust instead of fear. Fortunately, there are already few evidences shown that trypophobia have an impact on one's daily life when it is triggered.

PhD Conferral Mr. Wondimagegn Mesfin Tesfaye, MSc.
Rural households in Sub-Saharan Africa face several microeconomic challenges including food crisis of many dimensions. These households are often at the front lines of climate variability and extremes, which expose them to environmental and economic risks. In a disconcerting paradox, these particularly vulnerable households are mostly disconnected from credit, insurance and output markets. This research investigates the decisions agricultural households make in land and crop management, crop portfolio choices and postharvest storage to cope with the risks they encounter and improve their livelihood. The study finds that climate-smart land and crop management innovations, mainly conservation agriculture, crop diversification, and crop storage technologies improve agricultural performance, household welfare and risk coping capacity. The findings suggest that agricultural transformation through use of sustainable and climate-smart technologies and practices could be a way forward to rural development and prosperity, than a rigid focus on existing model of agriculture.


South Africa and Zimbabwe meet again on Friday, in the second T20 International at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.
Live stream & TV: Supersport 2, SABC 3.
Zimbabwe's tour to South Africa has gone pretty much how anyone would have envisioned, with the hosts dominating the hapless minnows. They meet again on Friday, in the second T20 International at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.
Following a 3-0 series win in the ODI series, the Proteas took a 1-0 lead in the shortest format as they emerged victorious in East London on Tuesday, grabbing a 34-run victory with veteran legspinner Imran Tahir the man of the match as he continued to torment the visitors.
The Chevrons can, however, now breathe a sigh of relief as Cricket South Africa (CSA) has made a call that will likely ease their misery, with the 39-year-old released from the squad for the rest of the series.
The move was made with the intention of giving the other bowlers a fair look in, and all eyes will now be on the left-arm wrist spin of Tabraiz Shamsi, who has had a night to forget in East London, going for 43 in his four overs. This was thanks to Peter Moor, who was particularly severe on him, taking him for four consecutive in his penultimate over.
The 28-year-old will also not look back too fondly at his only outing in the ODI series, as he also went wicketless, going at over seven runs an over, and will hope some continuation in selection goes some way towards assisting him in finding form.
One player who will be eyeing a second chance is opening bat Gihan Cloete, who lasted just three balls on debut, while his fellow debutant Rassie van der Dussen had contrasting fortunes as he formed the spine of South Africa's batting effort, notching up a half-century to finish with 56 off 44 deliveries.
While the results may suggest that Zimbabwe's stay in South Africa has been all doom and gloom, they have a ray of sunshine in 21-year-old leggie Brandon Mavuta who, after more than decent showing in the ODI series, was quite prudent in his four overs in the shortest format – conceding just 19 runs to go with the wicket of South African captain Faf du Plessis.
Faf du Plessis (captain), Gihahn Cloete, Junior Dala, Quinton de Kock, JP Duminy, Robbie Frylinck, Christiaan Jonker, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Lungisani Ngidi, Dane Paterson, Andile Phehlukwayo, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen.
Hamilton Masakadza (captain), Solomon Mire, Neville Madziva, Brendan Taylor, Sean Williams, Peter Moor, Elton Chigumbura, Tendai Chisoro, Kyle Jarvis, Brandon Mavuta, Christopher Mpofu, Chamu Chibaba, Wellington Masakadza, Tarisai Musakanda, Tendai Chatara.


Activation: Activation in chemical sciences generally refers to the process whereby something is prepared or excited for a subsequent reaction.
Activation energy: In chemistry and physics, activation energy is the energy which must be provided to a chemical or nuclear system with potential reactants to result in: a chemical reaction, nuclear reaction, or various other physical phenomena.The activation energy of a reaction is measured in joules (J) and or kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol) or kilocalories per mole (kcal/mol).Activation energy can be thought of as the magnitude of the potential barrier (sometimes called the energy barrier) separating minima of the potential energy surface pertaining to the initial and final thermodynamic state. For a chemical reaction, or division to proceed at a reasonable rate, the temperature of the system should be high enough such that there exists an appreciable number of molecules with translational energy equal to or greater than the activation energy.
Activation function: In artificial neural networks, the activation function of a node defines the output of that node, or "neuron," given an input or set of inputs. This output is then used as input for the next node and so on until a desired solution to the original problem is found.It maps the resulting values into the desired range such as between 0 to 1 or -1 to 1 etc.
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase: Activation-induced cytidine deaminase, also known as AICDA and AID, is a 24 kDa enzyme which in humans is encoded by the AICDA gene. It creates mutations in DNA by deamination of cytosine base, which turns it into uracil .
Activation product: Activation products are materials made radioactive by neutron activation. Fission products and actinides produced by neutron absorption of nuclear fuel itself are normally referred to by those specific names, and activation product reserved for products of neutron capture by other materials, such as structural components of the nuclear reactor or nuclear bomb, the reactor coolant, control rods or other neutron poisons, or materials in the environment.


After her birthday, Fiona had D dollars in gift money.
After her birthday, Fiona had D dollars in gift money. She spent 3/5 of this on an electric skateboard. The next day, she spent 1/3 of what was left on a movie passcard, and then finally put the last $80 in the bank. If she made no other purchases with that money, then what was the value of D?
The next day, she spent 1/3 of what was left on a movie passcard, and then finally put the last $80 in the bank.
If she spent 1/3 of her money on a movie passcard, then 2/3 of her money remained (which she put in the bank).
After her birthday, Fiona had D dollars in gift money. She spent 3/5 of this on an electric skateboard.
If she spent 3/5 of her money (on a skateboard), then 2/5 of her money remained (to be spent on a movie passcard the following day).
Another approach is to use algebra.
What was the value of D?
After spending 3/5 of her money, Fiona had 2/5 of her money left. After spending 1/3 of what's left, she had 2/3 of 2/5 of her money; in other words, she had 2/3 x 2/5 = 4/15 of her money left. Since we are given that this amount is equal to 80, she had 80/(4/15) = (80 * 15)/4 = 20 * 15 = 300 dollars to begin with.

The 1984 United States presidential election in Florida took place on November 6, 1984. All fifty states and the District of Columbia were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. Florida voters chose 21 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president of the United States.

Florida was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California, who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas, and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, the first major female candidate for the vice presidency.

The presidential election of 1984 was a very partisan election for Florida, with nearly 100% of the electorate voting either Democratic or Republican, with only those two parties appearing on the presidential ballot in Florida. Every county gave either Reagan or Mondale an outright majority; all but one gave Reagan a majority. Only the Black Belt county of Gadsden gave Mondale a majority. In this election, Florida voted 7% more Republican than the national average.

Reagan won Florida in a 30.7% landslide, carrying all but one of the Sunshine State's counties. His vote share of 65.32% made it his 11th-best state, and his best state amongst those that had belonged to the Confederacy, amongst those that had voted for Carter in 1976, and amongst those that had at least 10 electoral votes. Reagan performed powerfully throughout both Florida's population centers as well as its rural areas. He won each of Dade, Broward, Pinellas, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, Duval, and Orange Counties by double digits; of these seven, he went below 60% only in Dade and Broward. Mondale collapsed in the rural Southern counties that had put Carter over the top in 1976 and many of which had stuck with the incumbent in 1980; even in 1980, for example, Carter was able to get over 60% of the vote in rural Dixie County, but Mondale sank to 35.7%. A similar process played out in Calhoun, Gilchrist, Lafayette, Levy, Gulf, and Liberty Counties, all of which Carter won by double digits in 1980, and in all of which Mondale sank below 40% (with similar swings away from Mondale occurring in other, similar counties which Carter had won more narrowly, or lost narrowly in 1980 after carrying in 1976). And Southwest Florida, which had turned Republican in the late 1940s and early 1950s and proved resistant to Carter's appeal in 1976, once again turned out powerfully for the Republican nominee: Reagan broke 70% in all of Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee, and Collier Counties.

There were few positive signs for Mondale or the Democratic Party in the returns from Florida. Dade and--apart from its vote for Goldwater in 1964--Duval had been Democratic-leaning counties. But not only did both vote for Reagan by double digits, but they both also voted more Republican than the nation (Dade barely so, giving Reagan an 18.3% margin as compared to his 18.2% national margin). Perhaps the only sign of a positive trend for the Democratic Party was that Reagan barely increased his vote share in Broward County, which voted somewhat more Democratic than the nation; Broward had been a Republican stronghold, voting Republican in seven straight elections (including for Goldwater in 1964) before narrowly voting for Carter in 1976. In 1980, it seemed to snap back to its Republican ways, giving Reagan a substantially larger margin and vote share than he got nationally. But his 56.6% showing in the county in 1984 contrasted alarmingly with Nixon's 72.4% in his 1972 landslide. Nevertheless, in the run-up to the 1988 election, Florida was the only large state accounted assuredly safe for George H. W. Bush.

As of 2023, this is the last time that Florida voted to the right of South Carolina in a presidential election.

Democratic platform

Walter Mondale accepted the Democratic nomination for presidency after pulling narrowly ahead of Senator Gary Hart of Colorado and Rev. Jesse Jackson of Illinois - his main contenders during what would be a very contentious Democratic primary. During the campaign, Mondale was vocal about reduction of government spending, and, in particular, was vocal against heightened military spending on the nuclear arms race against the Soviet Union, which was reaching its peak on both sides in the early 1980s.

Taking a what was becoming the traditional liberal stance on the social issues of the day, Mondale advocated for gun control, the right to choose regarding abortion, and strongly opposed the repeal of laws regarding institutionalized prayer in public schools. He also criticized Reagan for his economic marginalization of the poor, stating that Reagan's reelection campaign was "a happy talk campaign," not focused on the real issues at hand.

A very significant political move during this election: the Democratic Party nominated Representative Geraldine Ferraro to run with Mondale as Vice-President. Ferraro is the first female candidate to receive such a nomination in United States history. She said in an interview at the 1984 Democratic National Convention that this action "opened a door which will never be closed again," speaking to the role of women in politics.

Republican platform

By 1984, Reagan was very popular with voters across the nation as the President who saw them out of the economic stagflation of the early and middle 1970's, and into a period of (relative) economic stability.

The economic success seen under Reagan was politically accomplished (principally) in two ways. The first was initiation of deep tax cuts for the wealthy, and the second was a wide-spectrum of tax cuts for crude oil production and refinement, namely, with the 1980 Windfall profits tax cuts. These policies were augmented with a call for heightened military spending, and the cutting of social welfare programs for the poor. Collectively called "Reaganomics", these economic policies were established through several pieces of legislation passed between 1980 and 1987.

Virtually unopposed during the Republican primaries, Reagan ran on a campaign of furthering his economic policies. Reagan vowed to continue his "war on drugs," passing sweeping legislation after the 1984 election in support of mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession.  Furthermore, taking a (what was becoming the traditional conservative) stance on the social issues of the day, Reagan strongly opposed legislation regarding comprehension of gay marriage, abortion, and (to a lesser extent) environmentalism, regarding the final as simply being bad for business.

The Devil's Dictionary Book Review:
Bierce exploits the comic potential of the dictionary format to mock the doublespeak prominent in post-Civil War politics. Using short, pithy entries on a variety of subjects, this "reference book" inverts the meaning of words, skewers popular hypocrisy and showcases Bierce's dark humor. Many of these entries began as newspaper columns Bierce wrote in the 1870s. One hundred years later, it is clear that the America he lampoons is not that different from our own.

Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value
Author : D. Graeber
Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value Book Review:
Now a widely cited classic, this innovative book is the first comprehensive synthesis of economic, political, and cultural theories of value. David Graeber reexamines a century of anthropological thought about value and exchange, in large measure to find a way out of ongoing quandaries in current social theory, which have become critical at the present moment of ideological collapse in the face of Neoliberalism. Rooted in an engaged, dynamic realism, Graeber argues that projects of cultural comparison are in a sense necessarily revolutionary projects: He attempts to synthesize the best insights of Karl Marx and Marcel Mauss, arguing that these figures represent two extreme, but ultimately complementary, possibilities in the shape such a project might take. Graeber breathes new life into the classic anthropological texts on exchange, value, and economy. He rethinks the cases of Iroquois wampum, Pacific kula exchanges, and the Kwakiutl potlatch within the flow of world historical processes, and recasts value as a model of human meaning-making, which far exceeds rationalist/reductive economist paradigms.

Imperial Leather Book Review:
Imperial Leather chronicles the dangerous liaisons between gender, race and class that shaped British imperialism and its bloody dismantling. Spanning the century between Victorian Britain and the current struggle for power in South Africa, the book takes up the complex relationships between race and sexuality, fetishism and money, gender and violence, domesticity and the imperial market, and the gendering of nationalism within the zones of imperial and anti-imperial power.
Author : Kenneth Whyte
Hoover Book Review:
"An exemplary biography—exhaustively researched, fair-minded and easy to read. It can nestle on the same shelf as David McCullough's Truman, a high compliment indeed." —The Wall Street Journal The definitive biography of Herbert Hoover, one of the most remarkable Americans of the twentieth century—a wholly original account that will forever change the way Americans understand the man, his presidency, his battle against the Great Depression, and their own history. An impoverished orphan who built a fortune. A great humanitarian. A president elected in a landslide and then resoundingly defeated four years later. Arguably the father of both New Deal liberalism and modern conservatism, Herbert Hoover lived one of the most extraordinary American lives of the twentieth century. Yet however astonishing, his accomplishments are often eclipsed by the perception that Hoover was inept and heartless in the face of the Great Depression. Now, Kenneth Whyte vividly recreates Hoover's rich and dramatic life in all its complex glory. He follows Hoover through his Iowa boyhood, his cutthroat business career, his brilliant rescue of millions of lives during World War I and the 1927 Mississippi floods, his misconstrued presidency, his defeat at the hands of a ruthless Franklin Roosevelt, his devastating years in the political wilderness, his return to grace as Truman's emissary to help European refugees after World War II, and his final vindication in the days of Kennedy's "New Frontier." Ultimately, Whyte brings to light Hoover's complexities and contradictions—his modesty and ambition, his ruthlessness and extreme generosity—as well as his profound political legacy. Hoover: An Extraordinary Life in Extraordinary Times is the epic, poignant story of the deprived boy who, through force of will, made himself the most accomplished figure in the land, and who experienced a range of achievements and failures unmatched by any American of his, or perhaps any, era. Here, for the first time, is the definitive biography that fully captures the colossal scale of Hoover's momentous life and volatile times.

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts
Author : Gabor Maté, MD
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts Book Review:
In this timely and profoundly original new book, bestselling writer and physician Gabor Maté looks at the epidemic of addictions in our society, tells us why we are so prone to them and what is needed to liberate ourselves from their hold on our emotions and behaviours. For over seven years Gabor Maté has been the staff physician at the Portland Hotel, a residence and harm reduction facility in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. His patients are challenged by life-threatening drug addictions, mental illness, Hepatitis C or HIV and, in many cases, all four. But if Dr. Maté's patients are at the far end of the spectrum, there are many others among us who are also struggling with addictions. Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, work, food, sex, gambling and excessive inappropriate spending: what is amiss with our lives that we seek such self-destructive ways to comfort ourselves? And why is it so difficult to stop these habits, even as they threaten our health, jeopardize our relationships and corrode our lives? Beginning with a dramatically close view of his drug addicted patients, Dr. Maté looks at his own history of compulsive behaviour. He weaves the stories of real people who have struggled with addiction with the latest research on addiction and the brain. Providing a bold synthesis of clinical experience, insight and cutting edge scientific findings, Dr. Maté sheds light on this most puzzling of human frailties. He proposes a compassionate approach to helping drug addicts and, for the many behaviour addicts among us, to addressing the void addiction is meant to fill. I believe there is one addiction process, whether it manifests in the lethal substance dependencies of my Downtown Eastside patients, the frantic self-soothing of overeaters or shopaholics, the obsessions of gamblers, sexaholics and compulsive internet users, or in the socially acceptable and even admired behaviours of the workaholic. Drug addicts are often dismissed and discounted as unworthy of empathy and respect. In telling their stories my intent is to help their voices to be heard and to shed light on the origins and nature of their ill-fated struggle to overcome suffering through substance use. Both in their flaws and their virtues they share much in common with the society that ostracizes them. If they have chosen a path to nowhere, they still have much to teach the rest of us. In the dark mirror of their lives we can trace outlines of our own. —from In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts
