he skin and hair are coloured by a pigment called melanin. This colouration varies with the type and the quantity of melanin synthesized by the melanocytes, and plays an important role in the protection against solar radiation. Melanin is classified into 2 groups, eumalanin and phaeomelanin. Eumelanin is of a brown colour while phaeomelanin is of a red colour. Formation of melanin occurs usually in continuous and harmonious fashion in the skin and hair. Under certain conditions and under the influence of certain factors, pigmentation disorders can occur and can lead to hyperpigmentation (ie. freckles, chloasma, lentigosenil (age spots)).
Whitening, depigmentation and treatment of skin discolouration are mostly based on the inhibition of the enzyme tyrosinase which is responsible for melanin synthesis. Hydroquinone is the most active molecule known for this activity. However, it is quite aggressive in its action and is known to irritate the skin. Certain derivatives of this molecule posses similar activity without the disadvantages ascribed to hydroquinone. Examples of these are Arbutin and Harounoside.
Venus Skin Lighten cream is unique in that it is an all-natural alternative to hydroquinone based treatments. It contains a vegetal extract of Mitracarpe (Mitracarpus scaber) and Bearberry (Arctostaphylus uvae ursi), which help in skin lightening and depigmentation areas. Mitracarpe extract contains a hydroquinone derivative called Harounoside while Bearberry contains the well known compound Arbutin. Both molecules have an inhibitory effect on tyrosine activity, and thus inhibits the synthesis of melanin.
enus Skin Lighten is an effective, all-natural formula that helps to even skin tone, making heavy pigmentation less noticeable. It is non-toxic and non-irritating, a safe alternative containing absolutely no Hydroquinone or Titanium Oxide. Hydroquinone is a chemical bleaching agent found in many skin whitening products and has been said to be carcinogenic. Titanium Dioxide is a white powder used in paint products and can irritate the skin.
Venus Skin Lighten does not contain any AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid or Glycolic Acid) which can damage your skin by peeling or scabbing of the top layer of skin, worsening pigmentation problems.
Venus Skin Lighten does not contain any irritants such as mineral oil/petroleum and sodium laurel sulfate (a harsh detergent), ingredients found in many skin creams. If your skin is highly sensitive, it is especially important to avoid such ingredients in the products that you use.
Other creams contain synthetic preservatives such as Propylparaben, Methylparaben and Butylparaben, which are toxic but widely used in the cosmetics industry. Venus Skin Lighten has in it only natural preservatives that are used by aromatherapists.
Some skin lightening (or whitening) creams contain parabens, even though they claim to be 'natural'.
purified water (steam distilled), rosewater (steam distilled), emulsifyer wax made from coconut and palm oils (cetyl stearyl alcohol), coconut oil (light fraction), sweet almond oil, bearberry extract (Arctostaphylus uvae ursi), mitracarpe extract (Mitracarpus scaber), vitamin E (pure mixed with soy oil), myrrh, vegetable glycerin, grapefruit seed extract, natural preservative (hydrozimtalcohol).
Prepare your skin treatment by first using a good quality natural cleanser made for your skin type, followed by a good alcohol-free toner. Massage gently into any area of the face or body to lighten dark pigmentation or spots. Use daily for maximum effect. Avoid exposing your skin to the sun and use Venus Skin Lighten with a good quality sunscreen.
"I lived on the Equator for years and the excessive heat damaged the skin on my face so much that I have very dark patches on my forehead and cheeks. I have tried various fade creams but because most contain harsh chemicals, the situation only became worse!

My foot was stepped on in gym. Tried to solve the pain by over the counter remedies. Nothing worked. I went to the Dr who looked at x-ray and determined I had Achilles tendonitis and Hagland Deformity. PT was authorized and Justin was chosen as my PT. He was hands on all the time and was able to see that my foot problem also was a lower back problem. With "printed" exercises to take home and work on, my condition improved to the point after 9 sessions I can wake up in the mornings and get out of bed without any pain. Stretches and manipulations did the trick! I would recommend Justin and BPT to anybody with a medical problem.

Alessandro "Sandro" Mazzola (født 8. november 1942 i Torino, Italien) er en italiensk tidligere fodboldspiller (offensiv midtbane/angriber).

Mazzola er søn af en anden legendarisk italiensk fodboldspiller, Valentino Mazzola, som spillede for Torino FC og døde i flyulykken i Superga i 1949, hvor adskillige spillere fra Torino og det italienske landshold mistede livet.

Klubkarriere

På klubplan tilbragte Mazzola hele sin aktive karriere, fra 1960 til 1977, hos Milano-storklubben Inter. Her var han en bærende kraft på holdet, der i en årrække var dominerende i både italiensk og europæisk fodbold. Han var med til at vinde fire Serie A-titler, to udgaver af Mesterholdenes Europa Cup og to Intercontinental Cup-trofæer. I 1971 blev han nummer to i Ballon d'Or-kåringen, kun slået af hollandske Johan Cruijff.

Landshold

Mazzola spillede desuden 70 kampe for det italienske landshold, hvori han scorede 22 mål. Hans første landskamp var en venskabskamp på hjemmebane mod Brasilien 12. maj 1963.

For Italiens landshold var Mazzola med til at vinde guld ved EM 1968 på hjemmebane. To år senere deltog han også ved VM 1970 i Mexico, hvor italienerne vandt sølv efter finalenederlag til Brasilien. Derudover deltog han ved VM 1966 i England, samt VM 1974 i Vesttyskland.

Efter karrierestop

Efter at have stoppet sin aktive karriere har Mazzola blandt andet fungeret som ekspertkommentator på den italienske TV-station RAI.

Q: How to create symbolic link for non-existing folder? I'd like to create link to a folder on desktop of remote computer. I do not have permissions to execute scripts on that computer, but I can copy files to that computer.
My idea was to create link to folder on local computer and then copy the link to remote computer.
But, I am getting error New-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\SomeFolder' because it
does not exist.
Here is my command:
New-Item -Path "c:\Users\pocherka\Desktop\link" -ItemType SymbolicLink -Value "c:\SomeFolder" -Force

Any ideas for workaround?

A: Try adding the -force parameter:
New-Item -Path "c:\Users\pocherka\Desktop\link" -ItemType SymbolicLink -Value "c:\SomeFolder" -force

A: You can do using mklink also . Make sure that the destination folder is available . You can use the Test-Path to check that :
$destination = "c:\SomeFolder"
if(Test-Path $destination)
{
cmd /c mklink "c:\Users\pocherka\Desktop\link" $destination
# OR you can use the new-item also. Just commented in the below line
# New-Item -Path "c:\Users\pocherka\Desktop\link" -ItemType SymbolicLink -Value $destination
}
else
{
New-Item $destination -ItemType Directory -Force
cmd /c mklink "c:\Users\pocherka\Desktop\link" $destination
}

Hope it helps

HVT X S14 Stories
Zero Gravity - It's All About Balance
It's pre-happy hour on our first visit to Zero Gravity's Pine Street location. The December day is bitter cold but Dylan and I are welcomed by a warm stream of sunlight leading us to two empty seats at the corner of the bar. The list of the days offerings are displayed neatly on the wall above the taps. Neither of us can decide on a single one, so we order a flight tasting, instead. We wait, taking in the rest of the space. My guess is that the long wood tables are locally made and the impressive mural on the wall is by a Vermont artist. This is Burlington's South End Arts District, after all.
A lineup of four brews lands under our noses, ranging the spectrum from molasses, to caramel, amber to gold. We sip our drinks and grasp for descriptive words that may or may not be part of the beer lexicon; our vocabularies fail us but the beers are all delicious, nonetheless. Matt Wilson, the director of marketing and sales, comes out to greet us, wearing a Green State Lager winter hat. He is one of the three co-founders, along with brewmaster Paul Sayler and CEO Rob Downey.
The trio began Zero Gravity in 2004 as the brewpub for American Flatbread Burlington Hearth back when the craft beer industry in the state was still green. Many of the breweries that define the leading edge of today's Vermont beer scene didn't exist yet or were only just emerging. Wilson, Sayler, and Downey saw this as an opportunity to create their own line at Burlington Flatbread, and while the brewery has made hundreds of beers over the years, today the restaurant typically serves 15 or 16 original draughts on tap, along with one or two cask beers.
"Now, in a single year, Zero Gravity is brewing 235 CE, or case equivalents, which translates to about 5.6 million cans!"
With a steady rise in popularity and a cult following for beers like TLA IPA, the owners expanded production for off-premise sales in 2012. After that, beers like Conehead took on a life of their own and before too long, the brewing operation at Flatbread had maxed out. When they looked at the space on 716 Pine Street, it not only had the square footage to accommodate a 30-barrel brew house with a full canning line, a tasting room, and a beer garden, it also had a prime location to boot. The doors to the new brewpub opened in spring 2015, and the facility began filling over 100,000 cans of beer per month for statewide distribution. Since that time, the numbers have ratcheted up considerably—now, in a single year, Zero Gravity is brewing 235 CE, or case equivalents, which translates to about 5.6 million cans Where is it all going? To lucky residents in Vermont, of course, but now also in New York (as of 2016) and Maine and Rhode Island (as of 2017).
Among the dozens of new breweries popping up all over the Green Mountains, Zero Gravity has the stamp of a lasting, growing Vermont craft brewery. I ask Wilson how he would distinguish their identity. "I guess for us, first and foremost, it is about balance. It's creating beers that are balanced. You can brew a beer that's the highest in alcohol or has more hops than other beers but that doesn't mean it's going to taste good. More of a good thing is not necessarily good. So for us it's finding those beers where the flavors might be a little experimental, but they're there in a supporting role, not dominating what the product is, which is beer. We want it to taste like beer."
"So for us it's finding those beers where the flavors might be a little experimental, but they're there in a supporting role, not dominating what the product is, which is beer. We want it to taste like beer."
This standard for balance is succinctly captured by the logo of a hummingbird, suspended in flight, with zero gravity, as it were. Inspiration for this mascot came from a serendipitous encounter back in 2008. The brewery had decided to add growlers to its offerings and it was Wilson's job to figure out what would be on the bottle. "I sat down at a desk and no more than five minutes later did a little hummingbird show up outside my window, just floating there and I was like, there it is. So I take very little credit for it."
Wilson's favorite in the Zero Gravity lineup? He points to his Green State Lager hat. He describes it as a proletariat light lager you can drink all year round. "We kind of took some of the things we liked most about German pils, some of the things we liked about Czech pils, and really just tried to find the flavor profile that we liked, that worked for us." In naming the beer, Wilson wanted it to have a sense of place, the way Brooklyn Brewery was able to declare their brew Brooklyn Lager. Green State Lager did that and then some, with collegiate connotations that rouses some team spirit—or in this case, state pride.
"I don't know if it's the new Vermont or the old Vermont, but people that are here, that are living here, moving here, seem to just have a greater respect for people who do things the hard way—the handcrafted."
When asked what it is about Vermont that has made this place a fertile ground for the craft brewing industry, Wilson credits Vermonters. "I don't know if it's the new Vermont or the old Vermont, but people that are here, that are living here, moving here, seem to just have a greater respect for people who do things the hard way—the handcrafted. We've always believed that Vermont is a place that's bringing creative people in."
Handcrafted is a standard the owners of Zero Gravity take to heart. It's evident at every level of their business, from their commitment to adhering to craft while innovating with style, to the decor of the brewpub. As it turns out, I was right about the tables, which were made for the brewery from locally sourced cherry wood by Riven Woodcrafts in Burlington. The concrete bar and wrought-iron bases were done by Anomal Design out of East Montpelier. I was only half-right about the murals onsite, one by native Vermonter, Mary Lacy, the other by Blaine Fontana out of Oregon—another great beer state.
We finish off our flight and snap some pictures. On our way out, Wilson hands us a Green State Lager hat, which we happily sported all winter long—and most of the spring, for that matter. Go Green State!
State 14 is committed to the craft of original story telling that explores the tremendous diversity and resilience of Vermont's people and places. They strive to cover Vermont in ways that are inspiring, but also true.

Netflix vs Apple, Facebook vs Google: Big reason revealed behind companies encroaching each other's territory
by The-digital-buyer April 3, 2019 May 14, 2019 092525
Companies want a continuous flow of money at all times and not be dependent only when consumers make big investments in new phones or other hardware.
Apple is now jumping on to the online streaming platform, they will intensify the already packed space and will now take on Netflix by launching a subscription TV service with its own original shows. This is very similar to what Facebook is doing – it is allowing users to buy products using Instagram, thus encroaching on Amazon's territory.
What it does prove is that tech companies want to expand their service, and in doing so, they are encroaching into their different territories.
As far as Apple is concerned, the company is also launching a gaming service and introducing its own credit card, and could be well outside its comfort zone, according to technology industry analyst Rob Enderle.
"This is an awful lot of breadth really quickly for a company that hasn't been known for being great at breadth," Enderle said. "This is much more diversity than Apple's ever had."
These are indeed tricky times and Apple has faced a slump owing to the significant decline in the sale of iPhones, and hence, they are looking elsewhere to get a footing to compensate for these losses.
"They have kind of bled the device market dry," said Sally Edgar, of UK-based technology consultancy Waterstons. "Companies will increasingly be about subscription services. I think they have to do it to survive."
Facebook and Google have long scrapped over digital ads, although now both companies have hit a dead wall and are now looking around for alternatives. Facebook CEO has already circulated a memo which he is planning to unify the underlying messaging infrastructure of its WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger services and incorporate end-to-end encryption to these apps.
Reflecting on this new trend, tech industry analyst Tim Bajarin said that this new urgency was more because companies want a continuous flow of money at all times and not be dependent only when consumers make big investments in new phones or other hardware. Online streaming is one big opportunity which a company like Apple wants to lap up.

New Movies On Demand: 'Tully,' 'Rampage,' 'Overboard,' And More
By Brett White Twitter @brettwhite Jul 20, 2018 at 11:00am

New Movies on Demand: 'Promising Young Woman,' 'News of the World' + More
If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen–and since it's the summer, you can safely assume that "the kitchen" is just anywhere outside. Wait, is that why they say it's so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk? Wow, it's all coming together! Anyway–why not spend your free time indoors with the AC blasting alongside a new movie. Sounds like a pretty cool plan, huh? There are so many new movies available to watch every week! Whether you use Amazon Video, iTunes, Vudu, or your cable's on demand service, there are always a lot of new releases out there waiting for you to discover!
There is a whole lot to choose from this week, especially now that you can rent 2018 releases like the Amy Schumer comedy I Feel Pretty, the Wes Anderson animated feature Isle of Dogs, or Dwayne Johnson's other big action movie Rampage. If you're looking for something new, I highly recommend the British horror anthology film Ghost Stories, an old school chiller that features a delightfully grim performance from the dapper/adorable Martin Freeman.
What else can you buy or rent this week? Find out by taking a look at the collection of family dramedies, wacky comedies, and scary thrillers now available for you to enjoy from the comfort of your very own home!
Is being a parent harder than, I dunno, dealing with the inconsistent availability of classic sitcoms on streaming services? Oh… it is? It's more emotionally taxing than the thing I stupidly fret about the most (why isn't ALL of Taxi on Hulu?!)? Now I know–and I know thanks to Tully! Or, more accurately, the trailer for Tully, a dramedy about the relationship between a harried mother of three and the nanny she brings on to help her. The acclaimed film comes from the team that brought you Juno and Young Adult, director Jason Reitman and Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. You can buy Tully and watch it right now digitally, but if you want to rent it, you'll have to wait another week and a half. If you have kids, that should give you enough time to, I dunno, get a sitter? Or do you not need a sitter if you're watching a movie at home? I have too many questions the Tully trailer cannot answer.
[Where to stream Tully]
This remake of the 1987 comedy of the same name, Anna Faris stars as a blue collar single mom who seizes the opportunity to live in the lap of luxury when she convinces an amnesiac millionaire that they are married. Yep, this is a gender-swapped Overboard which puts Faris in the role originally played by Kurt Russell! In the Goldie Hawn role is Mexican comedian Eugenio Derbez. Should this movie have starred Kate Hudson, the equally adorable blonde actress that was raised by the stars of the original Overboard? You know what–maybe! Wouldn't it have been a cool bit of trivia? But on the other hand, can you really say no to giving Anna Faris, star of CBS sitcom Mom, another big screen vehicle? You can't! If you want to rent those laughs, you'll be able to do so on July 31.

Your weekend is about to get a whole lot judgier. That's because the formative action flick Terminator 2: Judgment Day (no "E", weirdly, which always throws me off) is available to rent for just under a buck in iTunes! This follow-up to a comparatively quiet '80s thriller blew up the box office when it arrived in 1991, packing in way more spectacle and special effects than people were expecting. Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger reprise their iconic roles as Sarah Connor and the Terminator, with Robert Patrick making his debut appearance as the terrifying T-1000. If you find yourself leaving modern blockbusters shaking your head and muttering, "They just don't make'em like they used to," this is the movie you're recalling indirectly.

'LIBERATE': Trump tweets support for anti-lockdown protests

In a provocative series of tweets on Friday, United States President Donald Trump appeared to support protest movements popping up around the country calling for an immediate end to the lockdowns imposed on Americans in an order to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump began his tirade with a call to "LIBERATE MINNESOTA". He quickly followed with two more missives calling for similar action in Michigan and Virginia. All three states are currently headed by Democratic governors, and Michigan is considered crucial to the president's re-election bid in the November general election.
Trump's tweet about Virginia, a state once solidly Republican that turned Democratic during the 2018 midterm elections, included a call to "save your great 2nd Amendment". The state's Governor, Ralph Northam, signed new laws last week that expanded background checks and imposed new limits on gun purchases.
LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2020
The tweets – which were posted just moments after a report on Fox News Channel about the protests – marked a reversal from Trump's tone on Thursday, when he said he would defer to state governors about when and how quickly to remove the quarantine orders. When asked about the protests on Thursday, Trump said he sided with the governors.
"I think they listen to me," Trump said of the anti-lockdown protestors. "They seem to be protesters that like me and respect this opinion. And my opinion is the same as just about all of the governors."
Responding to Trump's tweets, Washington Governor Jay Inslee, a Democrat, accused the president of encouraging "illegal and dangerous acts".
"He is putting millions of people in danger of contracting COVID-19. His unhinged rantings and calls for people to "liberate" states could also lead to violence. We've seen it before," Inslee tweeted.
"The president is fomenting domestic rebellion and spreading lies – even while his own administration says the virus is real, it is deadly and we have a long way to go before restrictions can be lifted," he added.
The president's statements this morning encourage illegal and dangerous acts. He is putting millions of people in danger of contracting COVID-19.
His unhinged rantings and calls for people to "liberate" states could also lead to violence. We've seen it before. 1/7

Protests against lockdowns
Conservative media hosts and some Republican leaders have in recent days started to bristle against the continued shutdowns, arguing that the damage being done to the economy and citizens' livelihoods outweighs the strain being placed on the healthcare system.
In Minnesota, protesters in that state planned to gather in front of the governor's mansion on Friday to protest against a stay-at-home order that has been in place since March 25 and businesses deemed non-essential have been closed since March 16.
In a social media post, the group behind the protest – calling itself "Liberate Minnesota" – wrote, "Minnesota citizens now is the time to demand Governor [Tim] Walz and our state legislators end this lock down! Thousands of lives are being destroyed right now. It is not the governor's place to restrict free movement of Minnesota citizens!"
Also on Friday, residents of the state of New Jersey paraded a line of cars in front of Governor Phil Murphy's office in the state capital, Trenton, chanting "no more fear" and "where is my bill of rights".
Similar protests have popped up in states around the country, including Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Utah, and North Carolina. Mixed in among the US flags and hand-scrawled protest signs at most of the locations have been political signs supporting Trump and Vice President Mike Pence's re-election campaign.

Protesters in Kentucky yelled, "Open up Kentucky" and "You're not a king, we won't kiss your ring" in the Kentucky capital of Frankfort, where Governor Andy Beshear, also a Democrat, was attempting to hold a news briefing on Wednesday.
In Utah, headed by Republican Governor Gary Herbert, the protesters called that state's attempts to contain the coronavirus pandemic unconstitutional.
"The government, at all levels, has overstepped its authority in their request to 'protect' Americans from a virus," Mary Burkett, a Republican candidate for Utah's 2nd congressional district who participated in the demonstration, said in a news release. "The American citizen is perfectly capable of deciding how to best protect themselves."

The protests are ramping up just as a number of governors, including some of those targeted by Trump on Friday, begin to announce an easing of the restrictions. Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on Friday that schools would remain closed the rest of the academic year, but that some businesses would be allowed to reopen gradually starting next week.
In Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer said on Friday that she hoped to loosen some of the strictest lockdowns in the nation beginning in two weeks, and Minnesota's Walz announced that golf courses and a number of other outdoor activities, along with the businesses that support them, could reopen on Saturday morning.

With reverence for God and Country and being ever mindful of the glorious traditions of the United States Air Force, our duty to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, our responsibility to aid in maintaining a superior aerospace defense for our beloved country, and desire to assist in obtaining the highest caliber of men and women for our Air Force, our interest in the welfare of persons who served and are serving in the Air Force, our devotion to our fellow airmen in fortune or distress, and our reverence for the memory of our departed airmen, we unite to further the aims and objectives of this association.
What is AFSA?
AFSA is the Air Force enlisted organization dedicated to the people behind the stripes. The men and women behind the high tech machinery, the military protocol, the daring maneuvers ... the people who have invested their lives in the cause of freedom in America.
Each year Congress makes hundreds of decisions on issues that directly affect the lives of enlisted people and their families. Important issues such as medical care, job security, salaries, commissary privileges and other benefits. There was a time when the voice of the enlisted Airman was nowhere to be heard ... until the Spring of l96l, when a handful of men came together to form the Air Force Sergeants Association. AFSA is an international organization dedicated to speaking out on behalf of enlisted Air Force personnel and today, with nearly 100,000 AFSA members, the voice of the enlisted rings strong on Capitol Hill.
AFSA's membership is comprised of Air Force enlistees, both active and retired, of all grades, including Air National Guard and AF Reserve, and for family members of Air Force personnel. The Association is headquartered in the Airmen Memorial Building just minutes from the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., and only one mile from Andrews AFB, MD.

Q: non-void function does not return a value in all control paths in C I know that there are similar questions but I think I have not found an answer to my question. I am getting the error from the topic. I am not sure why this is as all controlled paths IMO return a value. I believe that the problem lies in a first for loop - when I commented it out code complied. But I do not know why a value should be returned after the loop, the function should proceed further. Am I wrong?
bool is_cycle (int winner, int loser)
{
        bool loser_is_winner = false;
        for (int i = 0; i < candidate_count; i ++)
            {
              if (locked[loser][i] == true)
              {
                  loser_is_winner = true;
              }
            }

        if (loser_is_winner == false)
        {
            return false;
        }
        else if (loser == winner_fixed)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else if (loser_is_winner == true)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < candidate_count; i ++)
            {
                if (locked[loser][i] == true)
                {
                    is_cycle(loser,i);
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
}

A: This case doesn't have a return statement:
        else if (loser_is_winner == true)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < candidate_count; i ++)
            {
                if (locked[loser][i] == true)
                {
                    is_cycle(loser,i);
                }
            }
        }

If you're going to return a value, you need to return a value on all paths, otherwise the return value is garbage.
Do you mean:
        else if (loser_is_winner == true)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < candidate_count; i ++)
            {
                if (locked[loser][i] == true)
                {
                    return is_cycle(loser,i);
                }
            }
            return false;
        }

Incidentally, this block is unreachable:
        else
        {
            return false;
        }

Fun fact: if you access the non-returned return value on Itanium, your code might crash.

A: Every function that you expect that returns a value, you must sure that always reach the code(return). You have something like the next:
bool myFunction(someParam) {
  //some code
  if(condition1){
    // do something
    return value1;
  } else if(condition2) {
    //do something
    return value2;
  } else if(condition3) {
    // do something
  } else {
    // do something
    return value4;
  }
}

You can notice that in if with the condition3 not has a return, if you enter in this condition never reach any return. Check part of your code to try avoid this case.

Home/Health/Mental Health Lessons for the New Year from the Late Father of CBT
Mental Health Lessons for the New Year from the Late Father of CBT
Dr. Aaron Beck, an American psychiatrist, died at the age of 100 last month. He was best known as the "father of cognitive behavioral therapy" (CBT). CBT is a type of psychotherapy that began in the 1960s at the University of Pennsylvania, as an outgrowth of Beck's work with depressed patients.
Today CBT is widely recognized and practiced in the U.S. and around the world, because of its demonstrated efficacy in treating depression and other conditions like addiction. (Learn how CBT is helping people recover from depression and other mental health conditions.)
Here are some of the mental health lessons that Beck taught and that are worth remembering in the New Year….
The Problem of "Automatic Negative Thoughts"
As a young psychiatrist, Beck trained in Freudian psychoanalysis. It taught that anxious, depressed, or distressing thoughts could be explained by early childhood experiences and traumas. Once a person understood the origins of their thoughts, according to Freudian theory, the thoughts themselves would no longer be as distressing. The job of the psychotherapist in this context was to help facilitate an exploration and explanation of these thoughts.
Beck was accustomed to using this approach with his patients, but one day when working with a depressed patient Beck took a different tack. (A November 2 segment of NPR described that formative encounter.) The patient was convinced that nobody cared for her. Instead of following the traditional Freudian path, Beck asked the woman how she knew that nobody cared for her. Beck invited her to probe what, if any, evidence existed to support her belief.
In quick time, the woman was able to list "a dozen people" who cared for her. By examining the evidence for her negative thought, she was able to correct the belief and in turn feel better.
People Can Be Trained to Change Their Thoughts and Behaviors
Beck found that many of his depressed patients exhibited similarly "distorted" thoughts.
Eventually, he called these types of thoughts "automatic negative thoughts," which could be tested for their validity, challenged, and dismissed and/or replaced with more realistic thoughts.
In other words, the way that patients interpreted or misinterpreted—and in turn responded behaviorally to their situations—could be corrected with training. With help, whether their condition was anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or another disorder, patients could learn to change their distorted thoughts and unhealthy behaviors and relieve their symptoms.
These theories and observations came to form the entirely new methodology for treating mental health problems that went by the name of "CBT."
The Beck Depression Inventory
Based on Beck's theory that negative automatic thoughts are a defining feature of depression, this 21-question, self-reporting questionnaire measures the severity of a person's depression. Beck developed the tool in 1961. It remains one of the most widely used assessments for depression among clinicians today.
A Simple Daily Exercise to Try in the New Year
Physician and epidemiologist Dr. Dan Beck is one of Beck's four children. In the days after his father's death, Dan Beck spoke with a reporter from the publication Philadelphia Jewish Exponent about his father's legacy. As reported in the November 10 article, here is how Dan Beck recalled one piece of advice that his father gave him: "He said, 'Just write down three things you want to do today, and as you do them, cross them off. Don't worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will work out.'"
That simple, actionable, and profound advice is one more of Beck's many contributions to the field of psychiatry.

This programme may be of interest to some. Hopefully it's not just limited to Scotland.
I had only heard of Squadron Commander Dunning before in respect of the Furious trials.
A hundred years ago, with German U-boats and battleships terrorising Allied shipping and zeppelins bombing Britain's towns and cities, Ulster-Scots teenager Jack McCleery was one of 12 young men tasked with a deadly mission on board the navy's 'mystery ship'. In Captain Jack and the Furious Few, David Hayman reveals the story of the test pilots of the world's first aircraft carrier, HMS Furious. The top guns of their day, their secret mission would revolutionise warfare.
A gifted pilot, Jack McCleery was head-hunted by the navy after just nine months of intensive flight training. He was posted to the newly commissioned HMS Furious in 1917, where he would serve for two years as part of an elite squadron of test pilots.
Their mission was to land a wheeled plane on the deck of a moving vessel in order to develop and test the techniques and technology that would convert the Furious into the world's first dedicated aircraft carrier, capable of launching a strategic air attack on Britain's enemies - but nothing like this had ever been attempted before.
Flying from the deck of HMS Furious, the bravery and sacrifice of those 12 Royal Navy test pilots would change the course of warfare forever. Jack McCleery's diaries, letters and personal archive of sketches and previously unseen photographs are a unique record of that extraordinary period in his own life, and in the history of aviation.
What an extraordinary man and history and South African born (Johannesburg) too. Thanks for posting C16 and will look out for the programme.
He is buried not too far from where I live in the UK and there is a memorial to him on the Orkneys.
Some more about Jack McCleery.
McCleery was born in Belfast in 1898. He joined the Royal Naval Air Service in 1916, as a Probationary Flight Officer. In his first 10 months he flew more than a dozen landplanes, seaplanes and flying boats and gained his wings as a Flight Sub-Lieutenant.
He was an exceptional pilot and in July 1917 he became one of the world's first pilots to operate from an aircraft carrier. Serving on-board the Royal Navy's HMS Furious, nicknamed the 'Hush-Hush', McCleery flew Short 184 seaplanes and Sopwith 1½ Strutters from the flight deck.
In 1918, McCleery was part of the support element for the Tondern raid; an attack on German Zeppelin hangars. This was the first successful carrier air strike in history.
As a test pilot McCleery conducted a series of dangerous and experimental deck landings and was a pioneer in the early days of naval aviation.
McCleery took part in more than a dozen operations in the North Sea, undertaking reconnaissance missions off the coast of Denmark. Aircraft carrier operations being in their infancy meant that pilots often landed in the sea to be picked up by waiting destroyers.
He was promoted to Captain in the RAF, retiring in 1969 and died in 1983.
How the RFC rejected Jack and got "Teddy Grant"
Such is the demand for pilots that both services continue to recruit heavily.
Today, 18 year old Jack McCleery from Belfast was interviewed at the Admiralty in London for a position as a Probationary Flight Lieutenant. He had previuosly been rejected by the RFC. He then set off for home but by the time he reached Liverpool, he received a telegram that he had been selected and he immediately set off again for London.
In contrast the RFC secured the services of Tryggve Gran, a Norwegian explorer who had served as the skiing instructor on Scott's fateful mission to the South Pole in 1912.
On his return voyage, Gran met the Irish aviator Robert Loraine, and immediately took an interest in aviation. Gran became a skilled pilot at Louis Blériot's aviation school in Paris, and on 30 July 1914, Gran became the first pilot to cross the North Sea. Taking off in his Blériot XI-2 monoplane from Cruden Bay, Scotland, Gran landed 4 hours 10 minutes later at Jæren, near Stavanger, Norway, after a flight of 320 miles.
On the outbreak of war he attempted to join the RFC but was rejected on account of Norway's neutrality. He finally got his way today as he persuaded the Norwegian Ministry of Defence to let him join the RFC. To preserve the illusion of neutrality, he was commissioned as "Teddy Grant" – and marked as a Canadian.
See pages 49 to 59 for more tell of McCleery et al.
A fascinating programme which was well worth watching.. As ever, David Hayman made a superb narrator.
McCleery's son as child looking at photos of his father's aircraft!
Superb. A must for anybody who has ever heard the wind whisper over a wing.
I haven't got a telly or a TV licence so I'm banned from the iPlayer thingy.
Occasionaly, just occasionally, I regret my inaccassibility to those very rare progs that are worth watching.
I shall find a workaround for this one.
His grandson, I think, was a member of a my former Flying Club. He owned a couple of successful shops in Southern Fife and I remember that he, the grandson, bought a spiffing new aeroplane from what he called Airospattle. I flew with him on the delivery flight as the weather was going to be crap and my IR was necessary for the paperwork.
I shall now go and find out how to hack the iPlayer thing. I'm not going outside, but I may be some time.
I salute you Plum for your austere dismissal of the box, good stuff comes on so rarely these days. Are you a fan of Radio 4 perchance, there was a very good ferry pilot series on that frequency relatively recently ?
Not austere at all. My quality of life improved massively when I took the telly (it was a currently fashionable CRT, so that may tell you how long ago it was) to the tip and subsequently wrote increasingly rude stuff to the TV Licencing cnuts when they biannually demanded money with menaces. Fukkem, fundamentally.
Way beyond that, I'm an addict. No tv or dog licence required for that, so I'm clean.
So I can legally do the iPlayer thing?
I didn't know that. I shall do dat ting.
I'm indoors now. I may be some time.
Thankyou, C16 for bringing this wonderful film to our/my attention.
A very special thankyou to Caco for clueing me in on the legal way to watch Beeb iPlayer documentaries. Much Rioja Gran Reserve is being guzzled while watching some real pearls. Thankyou thankyou.
I am glad you got watch the documentary Undried Plum. I must admit I watched it again tonight.. What extraordinarily brave men they were. The footage of Scapa Flow was superb I got to fly over there last year and it was most interesting to see the shapes on the sea floor of some of the wrecks there. I would love to retire to one of the islands up there if they will have me.
I flew over there a few years ago, on a very calm day, and there was a very clear oil slick from HMS Royal Oak. A bit eerie to see such a present reminder of what happened so long ago.
I've got lots to tell about the creation of the Flotta terminal, but that'll have to wait until I can find a link to a semi-fictional video on the subject.
Ricardo is yer man for that place.
Glad you enjoyed the programme Mr Plum. Your mention of Flotta has triggered a memory that I will put on Rotary Nostalgia idc.

Wittman Continues to Fight For Access to Broadband
U.S. Congressman Rob Wittman
June 15, 2018 CONTACT: D.C. Press Office
WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-01) hosted another meeting of his Rural Broadband Task Force. Congressman Wittman was joined by Jim Wasilewski, Deputy Chief of Staff to Assistant Secretary David Redl/Director of Congressional Affairs at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Doug Kinkoph, Associate Administrator of NTIA's Office of Telecommunications and Information, and other local stakeholders who represented internet service providers, the Center for Innovative Technology, Virginia Cable and Telecommunication Association, and wireless internet service providers.
A full recording of the meeting can be found here.
"Right now, we are leaving thousands of people on the sidelines, not just in our district, but across the country," Wittman said. "Significant human capital and economic development suffer without access to high-speed internet. For example, our rural hospitals lack access to telehealth services that better prepare our health care providers and small business growth is stifled without the ability to implement technology that spurs innovation and job creation."
Currently almost 50% of rural Virginians either lack access to high speed internet or 29% don't have any internet service at all. At this meeting, the Task Force discussed the unique challenges that are present in the region which hinder access to highspeed broadband services. This includes the labyrinth of red tape and regulations, cost of service, and varying geographic obstacles. Congressman Wittman believes that by addressing these issues and engaging federal agencies and other private stakeholders with localities, we can help bridge the digital divide.
"Today we reached an action plan of things that we can do in our office and items that can be accomplished through policy at the federal agency level," Wittman said. "We took several comments from the audience and will continue to make the effort to incorporate the concerns and ideas of the community. To be successful we must define the unique elements of this area. We don't want our efforts here to hurt existing businesses; we need to be coordinating and understanding how to best help all members of the community."
The Taskforce also discussed services at the federal level that could help localities. Mr. Wasilewski discussed the federal program Broadband USA, which provides direct technical assistance to communities around the country, offers workshops to help local leaders solve problems, and create toolkits that help educate localities. This program works to expand access to broadband, as this is a key economic driver in America.
"The Congressman pulling the task force together today was great. These are the kind of communities we need to make sure broadband gets to," said Mr. Wasilewski. "We need to have broadband in all areas. Broadband creates jobs, increases income, improves schools, and enhances healthcare. From an economic engine standpoint, it is critical to innovation and opens global markets."
Rep. Wittman continues to be a leader on promoting access to broadband in rural areas. In May, Congressman Wittman attended the Virginia Cable Telecommunications Association Annual Cable Show (VCTA), where he discussed the importance of expanding access to broadband in rural Virginia. On January 17, 2018 Congressman Wittman sent a letter to the Trump Administration advocating for increasing access to broadband in rural areas. Rep. Wittman urged the administration to include policies promoting broadband investments in any upcoming infrastructure package.
Congressman Rob Wittman represents the 1st District of Virginia. He serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and the House Armed Services Committee, where he is the Chairman of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.

the sick feeling in your gut
Chip in today -- let's make sure Republicans can't put a hurt on hard-working Americans.
Robert, I want you to take a little trip into the future. Are you with me?
Pretend it's Wednesday, November 7, 2018: the day after this year's midterm elections.
Now, pretend the headlines all say the Republicans held the House and the Senate.
That sick feeling you have in your gut right now? Believe me, that's nothing compared to the real hurt Republicans will put on hard-working Americans if we don't get the job done this fall.
We can't let it happen. And if our candidates have the resources they need to get our message out, we won't -- so chip in $3 right now and make sure Democrats can win this November.
Now, I'm not saying we're going to lose. But I learned a long time ago that you better run scared if you want to win.
Already this year, we've won elections in places Donald Trump swept in 2016. We've recruited good candidates up and down the ballot. I'd rather be in our shoes than theirs.
But we have to stay motivated; we better run scared. We won't win if we don't -- and here are three things we know will happen:
As sure as I'm sending you this note, Republicans will try again to repeal Obamacare. It's never been about health care for them, but about undoing a huge accomplishment of President Obama's. They can't help themselves.
They'll keep cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy -- and squeeze middle-class Americans who're just trying to save up enough cash to send their kid to college.
And you'd better believe they'll come for Medicare, Social Security, and any other program that gives the working class a leg up.
Folks say it all the time, but in the last 18 months, we've really seen it come to life: Elections have consequences. We lost big in 2016, and we can't afford to lose again.
It's pretty simple, Robert: Your gift helps elect Democrats. So chip in $3 today. Help me make sure Democrats in all 50 states have the resources they need to win:
If you've saved your payment information previously through Quick Donate, your donation will go through immediately.

Let's get to work.

VA Mission Act, Action for Dental Health Act of 2018 & Around the State
About Tim Services Media Center Legislative Work South Carolina Resources
Dear fellow South Carolinians,
Thank you for subscribing to my weekly e-newsletter, and please remember to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
VA Mission Act
Last Wednesday, I was happy to see the VA Mission Act signed into law. After sacrificing so much throughout their military careers, our veterans should have access to high quality care. The current VA healthcare program still has unacceptable wait times and falls short of providing the care our veterans have both earned and deserve. The VA Mission Act is designed to fix current inefficiencies that will cut wait times, streamline services, and provide better care. It also expands a much needed caregiver program. I was proud to vote for this important legislation last month and was incredibly grateful to see it become law last week. You can read more about the VA Mission Act here.
Action for Dental Health Act of 2018
On Thursday, I helped introduce the Action for Dental Health Act of 2018, a bill that will reauthorize initiatives that increase access to oral health treatment and prevention services, particularly for underserved communities.
Dental care is an important part of our overall health and we should work to make sure families have access to basic oral care. I am confident this legislation will help promote better education of dental services and improve availability of care across the country, even in our most underserved communities. I am proud to support the Action for Dental Health Act alongside Senators Booker, Cassidy, and Hirono and look forward to the Senate considering this important measure in the near future. You can read more about this legislation here.
This morning, I was happy to join Palmetto Boys State at Anderson University. I had a great time speaking to and encouraging over 1,100 fine young men, and I look forward to seeing all of the great things they will do for our state and country in the future!

Sustainability Watch – Megan Hellstedt, Delhaize
Building links with all stakeholders is seen as a vital component in any corporate responsibility strategy but companies vary both in their readiness and their success in doing this. Megan Hellstedt, director of corporate responsibility...
Sustainability Watch – Sylvain Cuperlier, Dole
Earlier this month, Dole Food Co. announced the creation of an office of corporate responsibility and sustainability "to build on its existing environmental initiatives at company-owned farms around the world". Ben Cooper asked director of worldwide corporate social responsibility Sylvain Cuperlier why he feels Dole's approach to corporate sustainability represents a good model and why the recent organisational changes have further strengthened the company in this area.
Sustainability Watch – Dennis Treacy, Smithfield Foods
Being responsible for championing the sustainability strategy of one of the largest meat processors in the world may appear to many an unenviable task. But Dennis Treacy, recently named senior vice president of corporate affairs and chief sustainability officer at Smithfield Foods, relishes the challenge and believes the company has a good story to tell. He spoke with Ben Cooper about his appointment, the company's achievements to date and future goals.

Solar design could hardly be more basic: panels and an inverter. Solar modules absorb the rays of the sun and make electricity. The inverter's function is to convert this direct current into alternating current that is used in existing, conventional electrical systems in houses and businesses.
These are the only major components of a photovoltaic (PV)solar system. Hardware used for solar installation is stainless steel and anodized aluminum designed for mounting the panels flush with a roof. A switchgear and ground fault protection are necessary, but these are minor elements in the system. Installation takes just 1-4 days, depending on the size of the solar system, site location, and roof configuration.
Solar design and installation are uncomplicated. First, however, comes the paperwork. After an on-site inspection to determine needs and layout of the system, you will sign a contract. Then the solar contractor will be able to qualify your system for California's cash rebates (currently, $3.20 per watt), and line you up for tax credits.
A word of caution--the state's fiscal crisis has called into question many state-funded programs, and the Emerging Renewables Program might be jeopardized. The cash rebate was supposed to be $3.60 for 2004, but was reduced to $3.20 because of the state's financial problems. Tax credits for 2003 were 15% of the solar system's cost; for 2004-2005, the rebate is 7.5%, and the authorizing legislation sunsets on January 1, 2006. The point is, if all these financial incentives are crucial to you, consider a solar system soon.


For a brand new comedy launching on BBC Three, our priority was getting the show into the hands of the influencers we knew would love it, and then building activity around those. We were confident the critics would love it, but we also needed to ensure we reached the online audience that would watch on BBC Three.
Coverage on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour and BBC Radio 4's Today, plus various activity across BBC Radio 1 and on BBC Radio 5Live's Afternoon Edition ensured the show was well-placed broadcast wise. We also secured substantial print coverage including feature activity with The Guardian's Guide, The i, Evening Standard, Metro, Vogue UK, New Statesman, The Big Issue, Stylist and the Daily Telegraph.
Of equal success was the online coverage Fleabag received, with profiles, previews and interviews with key outlets such as BuzzFeed, The Pool, The Independent, Refinery29 and Cosmopolitan.
Fleabag went on to become one of the most talked-about series of recent years, securing a string of international awards including a BAFTA TV Award, and awards from the Royal Television Society, Writers Guild of Great Britain and Broadcast.
