Robert C. Frasure (April 20, 1942 – August 19, 1995) was an American diplomat and the first United States Ambassador to Estonia following Estonia's regained independence from the Soviet Union.

Biography
Born in Morgantown, West Virginia to parents who were educators, he attended West Virginia University, the London School of Economics and received a Ph.D. from Duke University. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He taught briefly at Duke and the University of the South and contributed to various professional journals including the American Political Science Review.

He joined the Foreign Service in 1974. His overseas posts included Geneva, Bonn, Lagos, London, Pretoria and Addis Ababa. He received two State Department Superior Honors for his contributions to diplomacy in Africa that led to the withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola in 1989 and the independence of Namibia in 1991. During 1990-1991, he served as the Africa Director at the National Security Council.

He initiated the reestablishment of the American diplomatic presence in Estonia as Chargé d'affaires in September 1991, following Estonia's reconfirmation of independence from the Soviet Union, and was sworn in as the first "post-Soviet" American Ambassador to Estonia on March 26, 1992.

He left Estonia in 1994 and became Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of European and Canadian Affairs with particular responsibility for Bosnia.

Death

Frasure was killed in an automobile accident on the Igman mountain near Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina on August 19, 1995 while on a mission to negotiate a U.S. proposal to end the conflict in Bosnia. Joseph Kruzel and Col. Sam Nelson Drew were also killed. The trio had to travel over Igman in order reach the besieged Bosnian capital. The main roads, which were not as dangerous as the narrow mountain roads, were blocked by the Serbs besieging Sarajevo, forcing the diplomats to take the more dangerous route.

On December 15, 1995, he was awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal, posthumously, by President Clinton for Exceptional Service for his role in the downfall of the Mengistu regime in Ethiopia and the airlifting of more than 15,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel.

In 2010, a street in Sarajevo was named in his honor. The US Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in the street. Hillary Clinton opened the new embassy and announced the new street name in October 2010.

The Robert C. Frasure Award is named after him.

Frasure, as Special Envoy to the President, was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

How did writing a critical review prepare you for writing a literature review? What do you still need to learn/practice before you are ready to write a literature review?
What can you learn about academic writing from reading articles like the samples provided?
I honestly think the biggest thing that comes to mind in terms of how beginning with a critical review was ultimately helpful in introducing how to write a literature review is mostly because - in the midst of writing a literature review, you find yourself doing miniature critical reviews of each of the material you present. It helps you, or it helped me, in learning what parts to focus on when deciphering one piece of literature. How to summarize what's important, how to take a pragmatic position and unpacked that for readers, and on what basis to form conclusions. Literature reviews also involve a lot of the same criteria, but also require a much more in depth collection of material. I mentioned this to another student in our classroom forum, but I've written one before so I do have a little bit of a better idea of what needs to go into them. I think for me personally, I want to review the comments on my old work. I'd like to use them as a bit of a sounding board of what not to do again. I'm also highly anticipating recieving feedback on my critical review I just handed in, I think that will also be very helpful.
Again, for me personally, having an opportunity to read samples of other literature reviews gives me a template for what I'm working with. I mentioned this in another blog post, but where my anxiety lies the most in writing is not knowing what is expected of me. I hate that. I get a lot of anxiety handing in my first assignments in each course, or trying something new I'm not familiar with. Having writing samples alleviates a lot of that for me, and gives me the inspiration to get started. The academic articles on literature reviews are equally as helpful for the same reason. They might not be a paragraph by paragraph template, but it allows for readers to get an introductory lesson of what they should be expected to do.

2016 Presidential Candidates NOT Commander-in-Chief Material!
By Abdul Alhazred	 April 4, 2016 2 Comments
On November 8, 2016, the 58th quadrennial American presidential election will be held. In the current race to become a major party Presidential Nominee, the list of candidates lack military experience or inclination, with only Donald Trump having the slightest military connection. Considering that each of these candidates wants to be the Commander in Chief of our military forces the situation is somewhat ridiculous. Of our 44 Presidents only 11 had no military experience.
Trump claims the closest thing to military experience by having attended the New York Military Academy from age 13 (8th grade) through high school. Established in 1889 the NYMA has a distinguished list of graduates although facing financial problems in recent years. Trump drilled, wore a uniform, participated in athletics and led a structured military type life while there. Unfortunately, The Donald was ineligible for the military draft due to heel spurs, but had a high draft number and would not have been drafted.

Rafael Eduardo "Ted" Cruz was born in 1970 and did not have to contend with the military draft, but was a skinny and wimpy young man more attracted to academic than physical or martial pursuits. Instead of pursuing any of the masculine rites of passage most boys go through (such as contact sports or physical labor) Cruz was on the debate team and Free Market Education Foundation. Certainly a good student, but not exactly the kind of guy to lead men into combat. Of course, he has no military connection.
John Kasich never participated in the military or military prep, and is reportedly "fortunate to have received a high draft number" to avoid service, and of course he did not volunteer! I also could find no record of Kasich engaging in any serious physical labor or contact sports, either, although he was indeed a frat boy in college and went right into politics after college. For some unknown reason Kasich served on the House Armed Services Committee despite having no military credentials, and like typical paper tigers was known as a "Hawk" on military matters despite personally having no stomach for such service.

Hillary Clinton kind of gets a pass on this one, for although women certainly could serve in the military, women of her age would not have been in combat or faced the draft, and only a low percentage of females made up the military at the time.
Bernie Sanders, however, sought Conscientious Objector status to avoid service during Viet Nam, and ended up with a high enough draft number to not be drafted. Of course, he has no military experience, although he at least was a decent athlete, excelling in track and basketball.

Willard "Mitt" Romney is not a declared candidate, but rumors have him behind the scenes hoping to be handed the Republican nomination at a brokered convention. He of course chose to fly to France where he spent his draft eligible years cycling around the countryside as a Mormon missionary.
Question for students (and subscribers): Should the president of the U.S. have military experience prior to becoming president? Please let us know in the comments section below this article.

Allen and Shelly's home was beautiful, spacious and inviting! The descriptions and photos were accurate and the home itself was perfect. The resort, however was a lot larger than I had anticipated. The distance from the home to the pool, restaurant, and other main areas was quite a distance. Really too far to walk so we had to get in the car and drive each time the kids wanted to swim. Also the pool closes at dusk which is too early for the area since u don't get back from the theme parks until after dark. Night swimming is great after a day at the parks. Overall, I'd recommend the home to others but maybe include the distance to the pool in the description.
The house was just as explained. We had s memorable time and hope to do it again soon. Thanks guys!
Just spent a lovely 3 weeks at this townhouse in Davenport. It is our 2nd time staying here as we think it is an ideal location and we love both the house and resort. Its like home from home there, with everything you could possibly need for your holiday.
Thanks for letting us rent out your Villa. Me and my family had a great time. Villa nice and clean and well kitted out. We'll definitely be in touch to use next time we're in Davenport. Me & my son are keen golfers and we loved playing at Highland Reserve GC, it's ideal for us if we need to pop at Davenport and play a few rounds.
Thank you. We loved the home. It was a fantastic place to stay!
Fabulous owners kept us in touch right up until we arrived, and during our stay!
Everything you needed to know was at hand in a information folder provided at the house for you to look through.
And talking of which...fabulous house spotless, spacious and very private.
Also were the house was it was peaceful.
Fabulous location, away from the hustle and bustle, yet quick and easy to get there if you wanted it.
Resort it clean, safe and staff very friendly couldn't do enough for you.
I would gladly recommend to everyone I know, and would go back again myself!!!
It made our holiday one if the best if not the best stay we have had in Florida!!
Thanks again Allan & Shelley!!
We had a lovely stay at the resort. Very spacious and clean. Loved having the washer and dryer. Pool was great for the kids. Very friendly staff and close to amenities. Would recommend this property.
This rental property is in a very nice gated community, close to everything Disney, Universal Studios and Sea World. The Publix grocery store is also very convenient. We also found a Pick your own oranges down the main road. We will definately return. Very, clean, and owners were very nice and easy to deal with.
Thank you for letting us use your vacation home. Your condo was in great shape and just felt like "home". Everything we needed was available and in great shape! Would highly recommend. In my opinion, the best condo in the Orlando area that I have ever stayed in... Hope to return next year.
Thanks for the opprotunity to stay at your home over the Christmas/ New Year week. It was close to Disney and Sea World. The resort is wounderful and our kids LOVED the pool area. Your home itself was also beautiful and nicely decorated. If given the opprotunity we would gladly look at your home again.

Hear a Mick Jagger Interview from This Day in 1974
By Lizzie Manno | November 13, 2019 | 12:53pm
Image via Evening Standard/Getty Music Features The Rolling Stones
Mick Jagger does not mince his words in this interview recorded on this day (Nov. 13) in 1974. That year, The Rolling Stones released their 14th studio album It's Only Rock 'n Roll, and Jagger discusses songs like "Time Waits for No One" and "Till the Next Goodbye." At one point, the interviewer questions the lyrics to the latter song and whether it will inspire "mass murders in California," presumably referring to Charles Manson and his connection to The Beatles' music.
"Some nutcase might get hold of the word 'the' and go berserk and kill people," the interviewer says. "To me, this is a dangerous track."
Jagger replies forcefully, "I think that's a stupid interpretation!"

In certain circumstances, the court can issue orders for the personal protection of a child, a parent of a child, or a person who has an order in relation to the child. The term 'personal protection' has a wide meaning and can include orders which are simply designed to enable a party to prevent interference by a former spouse in their day to day life.
The Court can also issue injunctions restraining a person from entering the home, school or workplace of persons who have the protection of the order.

Michigan State beats Wisconsin in OT, 16-13
NANCY ARMOUR
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Andrew Maxwell threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Bennie Fowler in overtime, giving Michigan State a 16-13 victory and snapping Wisconsin's 21-game home winning streak on Saturday night.
The Spartans (5-4, 2-3 Big Ten) have now won four of the last six against Wisconsin, though this was their first win at Camp Randall since 2001. It was the first loss at home for the Badgers (6-3, 3-2) since Oct. 17, 2009, and only their fourth since Bret Bielema became coach in 2006.
Only LSU, with 22 straight victories, had a longer home winning streak than Wisconsin.
Wisconsin and Michigan State have been two of the Big Ten's best in recent years. No school has won more conference games since 2010, and they've had a hand in the last two Big Ten championships. They shared it in 2010, and Wisconsin beat the Spartans in the inaugural Big Ten title game last year.
Their rivalry has been one of the highlights of the conference season, with the previous six games decided by all of 31 points. This was another close one, but it wasn't exactly riveting.
After rushing for 804 yards in its last two games, Wisconsin managed a measly 19 yards rushing, its fewest in five years. Montee Ball, who had averaged better than 125 yards rushing in his last three games, was held to 46 and didn't get close to the end zone. James White added 16.
Joel Stave was 9-of-11 for 127 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Pedersen that gave Wisconsin a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter. But Stave injured his left shoulder when he was sacked on the opening play of the second half and did not return.
Michigan State recovered a botched punt at the Wisconsin 11 and then proceeded to go backward, giving up yardage on penalties and one of Maxwell's three sacks. They wound up punting after going minus-23 yards.
The Spartans struggled with penalties and negative plays all afternoon, and Wisconsin seemed to have the game in control late despite its own issues. Wisconsin cornerback Marcus Cromartie forced a fumble when he hit Lawrence Thomas hard, and Warren Herring recovered it at the Michigan State 18.
But just as Michigan State had earlier in the game, the Badgers failed to muster any positive yardage and had to settle for Kyle French's 39-yard field goal after a drive that went minus-3 yards. Maxwell responded by driving the Spartans down the field, capping an 8-of-9 performance with a 5-yard pass to Le'Veon Bell, who bulldozed his way into the end zone to tie the game at 10 with a minute left.
Michigan State won the toss in overtime and deferred. The Badgers scored on a 43-yard field goal after Isaiah Lewis broke up Danny O'Brien's pass to Pedersen on third-and-long. The Spartans kept it simple, handing the ball off to Bell repeatedly before Maxwell found him for the winning score.

I do love that. MPs vent fury at USA by voting to go home early. America said to be "reeling" from devastating blow. Ambassador recalled, etc.
They probably clocked off so that the Americans couldn't hear what they are saying due to the time difference.

"If the evolution of civilization," he writes, "has such a far-reaching similarity with the development of an individual, and if the same methods are employed in both, would not the diagnosis be justified that many systems of civilization — or epics of it — possibly even the whole of humanity — have become 'neurotic' under the pressure of the civilizing trends? ~ Sigmund Freud as quoted by Erich Fromm
Neurosis is a class of functional mental disorders involving chronic distress but neither delusions nor hallucinations. The term is no longer used by the professional psychiatric community in the United States, having been eliminated from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1980 with the publication of DSM III.
Structural equation modeling was used to show that pilots were more extraverted and less neurotic than the ground personnel, and more extraverted than the controls. Paternal overprotection had an indirect association with becoming a pilot through the mediation of the personality traits of extraversion and neuroticism. ~ Mei-Chung Chang, Ting-Hsuan Lee & For-Wey Lung
Results indicated that personality traits prospectively predicted the decision to enter the military. People lower in agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness to experience during high school were more likely to enter the military after graduation. ~ Joshua J. Jackson, Felix Thoemmes, Kathrin Jonkmann, Oliver Lüdtke and Ulrich Trautwein
Neuroticism predicted future mental disorders and low self‐esteem beyond more objective indicators of adjustment. The results support the use of neuroticism as a predictor of future mental disorders, even over periods of time when personality is subject to change. ~ Jan‐Erik Lönnqvist, Markku Verkasalo, Seppo Mäkinen, Markus Henriksson
Structural equation modeling was used to show that pilots were more extraverted and less neurotic than the ground personnel, and more extraverted than the controls. Paternal overprotection had an indirect association with becoming a pilot through the mediation of the personality traits of extraversion and neuroticism. Mental health was not associated with becoming a pilot. The optimal cut-off point of 4/5 on a scale of extraversion resulted in a high sensitivity (96%) for differentiating between fighter pilots and controls. Independent of psychosocial stressors (mental health), extraversion is associated with the biological mechanisms of an individual, and plays a unique role in the process of becoming a pilot. Therefore, an extraversion index can be used for screening potential military pilots prior to flight training, as a means of reducing costs and managing human resources.

In so doing, the idea forces itself upon him that religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis, and he is optimistic enough to suppose that mankind will surmount this neurotic phase, just as so many children grow out of their similar neurosis.

Sigmund Freud as quoted in Fragments of an Analysis with Freud, ch.3 '22 January 1935' (1954) by Joseph Wortis; as quoted in Penguin Dictionary of Modern Quotations by Robert Andrews, Penguin Books, 2001.
That human nature and society can have conflicting demands, and hence that a whole society can be sick, is an assumption which was made very explicitly by Freud, most extensively in his Civilization and Its Discontent. ...he arrives at the concept of "social neurosis." "If the evolution of civilization," he writes, "has such a far-reaching similarity with the development of an individual, and if the same methods are employed in both, would not the diagnosis be justified that many systems of civilization — or epics of it — possibly even the whole of humanity — have become 'neurotic' under the pressure of the civilizing trends?"
Sigmund Freud as quoted in Erich Fromm, The Sane Society (1955)
Results indicated that personality traits prospectively predicted the decision to enter the military. People lower in agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness to experience during high school were more likely to enter the military after graduation. In addition, military training was associated with changes in personality. Compared with a control group, military recruits had lower levels of agreeableness after training. These levels persisted 5 years after training, even after participants entered college or the labor market.

The authors assessed whether neuroticism in emerging adulthood predicts mental disorders and self‐esteem in early adulthood after controlling for possible confounding variables. A sample of 69 male military conscripts was initially assessed at age 20 and again as civilians at age 35. The initial assessment included a psychiatric interview, objective indicators of conscript competence, an intellectual performance test, and neuroticism questionnaires. The follow‐up assessment included a Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐IV (SCID; First, Spitzer, Gibbon, & Williams, 1996) and the Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). Neuroticism predicted future mental disorders and low self‐esteem beyond more objective indicators of adjustment. The results support the use of neuroticism as a predictor of future mental disorders, even over periods of time when personality is subject to change.

The stable middle-class values so prerequisite to sublimation have been virtually destroyed in our time, at least as nourishing values free of confusion or doubt. In such a crisis of accelerated historical tempo and deteriorated values, neurosis tends to be replaced by psychopathy, and the success of psychoanalysis (which even ten years ago gave promise of becoming a direct major force) diminishes because of its inbuilt and characteristic incapacity to handle patients more complex, more experienced, or more adventurous than the analyst himself. In practice, psychoanalysis has by now become all too often no more than a psychic blood-letting. The patient is not so much changed as aged, and the infantile fantasies which he is encouraged to express are condemned to exhaust themselves against the analyst's non-responsive reactions. The result for all too many patients is a diminution, a "tranquilizing" of their most interesting qualities and vices. The patient is indeed not so much altered as worn out—less bad, less good, less bright, less willful, less destructive, less creative. He is thus able to conform to that contradictory and unbearable society which first created his neurosis. He can conform to what he loathes because he no longer has the passion to feel loathing so intensely.
Norman Mailer, "The White Negro," Dissent, Fall 1957
Neuroticism is a personality trait that lends itself to worry, anxiety and isolation. Highly neurotic people are more susceptible to mental illness than happy-go-lucky types; they're also worse at high-risk professions like military aviation or bomb disposal, which require coolness under pressure. On the other hand, neuroticism seems linked to creative pursuits. Studies have found, for example, that artists and other creative people score higher on tests of neuroticism than people who aren't in creative fields.
Stephanie Pappas, "Why Creative Geniuses Are Often Neurotic", Live Science, (September 01, 2015).
According to Perkins and his colleagues' hypothesis, the brains of neurotic people might have a particularly persistent "default mode network," which is the circuit in the brain that becomes activated when people are doing nothing in particular. The medial prefrontal cortex is part of that system. If neurotic people have trouble turning off this thought-generating network, it might make them more prone to overthinking, dwelling and otherwise mulling over problems — real and imagined.
This can be a problem because neurotic people also have oversensitive amygdalae. The tendency to become panicked over imagined problems can make neurotic people quite miserable, Perkins said.
On the other hand, neuroticism could have benefits, he said. "If you dwell on problems for a long time, when those problems are not in front of you … it seems quite obvious that you'll be more likely to come across a solution than one of those happy-go-lucky people who live their life in the moment," Perkins noted.
Stephanie Pappas, "Why Creative Geniuses Are Often Neurotic", Human Nature , (September 01, 2015).
Neuroticism is a dimension of personality that captures trait individual differences in the tendency to experience negative thoughts and feelings. Established theories explain neuroticism in terms of threat sensitivity, but have limited heuristic value since they cannot account for features of neuroticism that are unrelated to threat, such as creativity and negative psychological states experienced in benign, threat-free environments. We address this issue by proposing that neuroticism stems from trait individual differences in activity in brain circuits that govern the nature of self-generated thought (SGT). We argue our theory explains not only the association of neuroticism with threat sensitivity but also the prominence within the neurotic mind of representations of information that are unrelated to the way the world is right now, such as creativity and nonsituational 'angst'.

I just stumbled upon your Lockit Buddy article … thanks for putting that up !
I just wanted to point out that the units are not made by Ambient but by my own company Freelance Audiovisual Services in the UK. So you may want to remove the reference to Ambient as they have their own timecode products and will probably not like to be linked to a product that is not their own.
Anyway, thank you for the article !
As a big user of dbx/Aphex 900 modules in my studio (two full 11-module Aphex 9000 racks, and one empty) I stumbled upon your page in a google search. I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to find a schematic or manual for the Aphex 9721 Dominator II module. I would like to link modules for stereo pairs. Gearslutz.com forum offers no answers, and others are looking for this info too. The modules have a small brown 5 pin connector which I have traced back to the "link" LED on the front panel, so I tried jumpering two modules together pin-to-pin with no luck. I'm suspecting this is indeed the "link" jumper but probably two wires get flipped between modules for CV in and out. That is where I come up short – not willing to experiment further for fear of damaging these increasingly rare modules, which I love. Any chance you would have a clue about linking 9721s, or have the manual? You can reach me at 716 725-2199 or smmullins@roadrunner.com .


the for loop below misses a semicolon after (x -= 2). because of this omission, the compiler will throw an error.
Correct! I've added this to the errata. I've also given you a cow. It's getting hard to find distinct errors by now!


well like everyone said the scars wont really fade trust me I tried almost everything 2 get rid of them and im only 14!!! I've been cutting myself 4 a while but forced myself 2 stop I still havent told anyone about it. but stop cutting yourself its not worth it.
well you can use products like bio-oil which dull down the apearence of scears and time will make them fade too!!
cocoa butter put it on the scars and you can use make-up. but you should also stop cutting it not healthy try seeing somebody about that.
mederma works well, I have sever cuts from self-injury and have been using this product for about two months. It'll take some time but will reduce scarring. If you cut make sure to use neosporin on it as it heals to reduce scarring to begin with.
Dont self harm its not good. Get a rubber band and snap it on your skin you dont see the blood but the pain equals.
How do I get rid of my bi polar?
Thy are right scars are really forever so you can never reveal them and if they DO get revealed make up a good excuse. NOT like I dont know how it got therem, more along the lines of I fell off my bike/scooter/etc. that works for me.
YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY!!! I was just looking for something that would help fade or remove a huge scar I have under my eye from when I got smashed in the face with a baseball bat :(. Any ideas people! no cutting scars here!!
2 of my friends started cutting, they don't do it anymore though and one of them told me that she uses baby oil to help her scars fade. From what I have seen its worked on hers pretty well but it depends how deep you have cut. Also if you ever feel like you need to cut the best thing to do is go and talk about the reason why you wanted to do it with an adult you can trust (parents, teachers etc.) or a good friend who will listen to you and comfort you, this is how I help one of the 2 friends that were cutting.
STOP CUTTING, and you wont get any more! VOILA, genius.
I have a suggestion to stop cutting. It stopped mine completely. When you want to cut, stare at it intensely. Imagine it belongs to your best friend, girlfriend/boyfriend, brother, sister, father, mother, grandmother, or other meaningful person in your life. Ask yourself, 'Would I cut him/her?' Then ask yourself why not. You'll find yourself losing the urge to cut when you realize how fortunate you are to have this person who loves you. If possible, put away the knife or razor blade or whatever it is, and talk to the person. Thank them for loving you."
"What really helped me quit was writing poetry. When I wanted to cut, I would get out my notebook instead. A lot of my friends used to cut (some still do), and write poems, so sharing with them helped a lot. I haven't cut since my 13 birthday, and I feel so much better. Sometimes I want to cut again, but my best friend does it really bad and I think how much I don't want her to."
"It is very true that cutting is addicting. I did it for a couple of weeks without telling anyone. Then eventually my friends found out so I told them about it. They were surprised and I felt ashamed. But I didn't care at the time because it was helping me feel better. After a while I wasn't doing it for a reason. I was doing it because I would think of the first time I did it and how it made me feel. It has been 2 years now since I have cut myself and I am very proud. I have been through clinics and therapists and they have helped me so much. I know people say that talking about your feelings can help you, and people think that's just a corny saying, but it's the best thing that I could have ever done for myself."
"I tried the rubber band. Yeah, I did snap it too hard and ended up hurting myself. Now I scrape scissors or anything sharp into a side of my desk. I can dig as hard as I can without bleeding and scarring. I liked to count my cuts to think about how many times I got hurt. Now it's in the wood forever and it helps me a lot even though I don't want to think about the bad times. My old diary was filled with sad stories and all about hating people. I started a fresh diary and tried writing more positive things. Every once in a while I write bad things and how I feel. That's my healthy way of expressing myself."
"I'm going to try and stop cutting myself because I know that it's not a good thing to do but it did relieve stress for a little bit. But the problems were still there and nothing can cover up the problems . . . unless you talk about them, that's really the only way you can overcome the problems."
"I have cut for almost a year. Cutting is the worse thing you could ever do. It is crazy addicting. I'm not even kidding. I started because my boyfriend was cutting. He said it relieves your pain. But he didn't tell me that after you relieve your pain for 5 minutes, you look down at your arm, and you feel so ashamed. You have to hide it from people. Make up stories why your arm was so cut up. When I first started, I thought, 'This is amazing, I feel so much better, but I won't do this ever again.' Then the next week, 'Well, one more time won't hurt.' I continued to tell myself, 'I can stop when I want,' so I continued to cut. I have been trying to stop for 8 months now. I would go 3 weeks and cut, I would go 1 month and 3 days and cut, I would go for 1 month and 28 days and cut. I haven't made it to 2 months yet, but I am trying so hard. When I feel like I have to cut, I take a cold shower. Or I put ice on my arm. You still get that numbing sensation. Good luck on stopping."
"I cut for about 2½ years, off and on. I eventually became addicted and couldn't stop. I have been seeing a counselor for around 2 years or more. I finally came to the point in my life, with my counselor's help and my best friends' support, where I got tired of hurting myself and I was seriously ready to stop cutting (for good, this time). I have now been cut-free for a few months. I haven't had any more urges since I came to that conclusion."
"A lot of what it says sounds like my problems. I mean, I don't do it for attention, it's a habit when I get upset or stressed or scared or sad, mad, angry, anything. I wear coats all the time because my arm is all chopped up. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm scared I'm going to get out of control with my cutting and end up cutting really bad one day."
"I used to cut. It was my only way of getting away. It was the one pain I could control. But one time I did go to far. I cut too deep. When my mom found out, it was really bad. When it got to the point to where I was lying all the time and hurting my friends, I knew I had to stop. I now deal with my scars every day, and if I could go back in time, I would have never made them. I have people that care about me and it took me almost 2 years to figure that out. At this point I am cutting free. And I don't plan to start again."
"I used to cut (not anymore) to relieve my pain. I mean, I would just be so upset when my brothers and mom fought, then I had friends fighting at school . . . it was a way for me to temporarily escape from the life I was living, but in a way it almost made my problems worse and made me more isolated. Anyway, I never knew how bad cutting was until after I stopped."
"I began cutting in 6th grade. During that time my single-father home was in complete and total ruins. I was being physically and mentally abused and neglected. The deep pain and agony led me to cutting, because I had no one to turn to. I really didn't (still don't) have any friends trustworthy or mature enough to have any advice for me. So I drew myself inward. I cut for 3 years, during which my father started and stopped drinking countless times. Everyone in my family knew about me cutting but didn't know what to do. Eventually, a teacher caught me with a razor blade in school. I am an honor-roll student with a flawless record, so everybody was shocked. I found myself in a mental hospital for a 3-day stay. I felt so incredibly abandoned and lonely, and it seemed that nobody could understand me. Mostly because I wouldn't accept help. I lied to everybody involved. I couldn't get my father in trouble. So I was dismissed as an 'attention-cutter' and continued to cut for months. Finally, I overcame the struggle. My father is still dealing with his alcoholism, and I have had to leave multiple times, but I have only relapsed once, and luckily I pulled myself out of it. I just want to say to all the girls (and guys) that can relate to my story that there is hope. There is ALWAYS an alternative. Take care of yourselves."
"I used to cut. It was a way to hide all the pain and pressure from being a teenager. One day in my 8th grade social studies class, my friend and I were passing a note [about cutting]. But the teacher grabbed the note. He read it to himself and looked at me. He said, 'Let's go down to the counselor's office.' We walked down there and I felt like I was walking the 'walk of shame.' I talked to the counselor and she told me other ways to get rid of my anger and pain. She also had to tell my parents I was cutting. I thought they would be angry at me, but parents are just trying to help. So talk to your parents. It may be scary at first but they have a lot to say and do to help you, and if you can't talk to them by yourself, have the school counselor help you find the words to say."
Please try to stop cutting. I do it. I also punch and beat on my self on my ribs. And I pierce myself with saftey pins and I stab myself with a shard of glass. I don't really like it but I'm addicted, and when I'm down, I need my fix. You know what I mean? So please try to quit before it gets to become this bad. I feel for you.
Scars are permament, once they are created they stick on you for a very long time, sometimes forever. But things like scar reducers and vitamin E oil help a lot. Please get help and try to stop cutting. It leads you down a horrible path. I self injured for 10 years, I've been clean for 6 months, but I have hundreds of scars that remind me of what I did. Please get help and work hard to quit before its to late.
yea, im not sure if theyre are any ways to get rid of the scars, because thats the reason im on this page, aswell.
anyways its not like someones words that you dont even know. Can change such a strong feeling about yourself.
And, its hard digging deep and finding things you love about yourself, but just know that theyres someone that could in a second, that we forgot. Even if you dont have the strength atm.
Just surround yourself with people that really love you. Or youll be lost in a crowd, of people who dont.


Advances in biological science are happening every day. This being the 21st century, that fact may not come as too much of a surprise to anyone. However, the next big breakthrough in biotech might not arise from a prominent research lab or university, but in the garage, kitchen, or home laboratory of adherents of a growing movement called DIY Biohacking.
DIY Biohacking, called such because practitioners "hack" the scientific process the way computer hackers manipulate code, represents the democratization of lab experimentation, most notably in the field of genetic engineering. Dedicated biohackers make use of rapidly advancing tech to carry out gene modification projects far outside of traditional labs. While this may sound a bit dicey to the uninitiated, the world of biohacking offers the promise of more rapid, unencumbered development with an aim towards the greater good. Experiments that today draw confusion or indifference could end up carrying humanity into a new era of genetic freedom.
The benefits of the DIY approach are several. Much of the money for scientific research, contrary to popular belief, comes from corporate concerns with often-questionable motives. Not to mention considerable incentives to keep any interesting findings secret, lest their competitors find out and beat them to market. With home experiments, there are no worries about following regimens set by those providing the funding. The DIY scene, in fact, encourages open sharing of information and decentralized access to new findings and technological advancements.
In addition, the freedom open to those homebrewed hackers means they can take their research in whatever direction pleases them. Many great steps forward in science have come from experiments that went in a different direction than expected, either as a result of scientists' tinkering, or making mistakes. Microwaves, anesthesia and penicillin are just a few examples of the multitude of developments that arose from scientists going just a little outside the parameters that had been set for them. The biohacking movement isn't guaranteeing similar leaps in progress, to be sure. But free of the constraints that often limit professional scientists, the possibilities are open beyond imagination.
Biohackers are already making noise in the mainstream media. Practitioner and entrepreneur Josiah Zayner was recently profiled by Buzzfeed, claiming that he's been able to engineer genes that promote muscle growth, a kind of organic anabolic steroid which is (allegedly) safer than the alternatives. While critics are dubious about the self-promoting Zayner's declaration, he's one of many on the frontier of bringing biohacking into the forefront. As time goes on, it's not impossible to imagine the mainstreaming of homebrewed health and gene therapies meeting real health needs.
The biohacking movement has gone global in recent years, and not just in homes and garages. Collective labs known as "hackerspaces" have popped up around the world, offering a dedicated place for amateur and part-time scientists to design experiments around whatever their minds can conjure. DIYbio, a biohacking interest group, lists on their website nearly 100 different dedicated hackerspaces from Florida to Belgium to Singapore.
While there are considerable advantages, there are certainly some drawbacks to the DIY approach. The potential for a biological disaster, while remote, does exist when amateurs are involved in such a sphere. Although generally limited in means and access, biohackers dealing with genetic materials do have more power at their fingertips than the average hobbyist.
To address such concerns, DIYbio created a Code of Ethics for prospective followers to adhere to. The code encourages safe and constructive approaches to this experimentation, anchored by a respect for the environment and potential outcomes. This might sound like cold comfort to skeptics, but the fact remains that genetic engineering is still a massively difficult project, one with many barriers to implementation.
Worries about a garage tinkerer creating a worldwide pandemic, or hybrid monster, remain the realm of fiction. The truth is that these home researchers' motivations are closer to weekend tinkerers than those of mad scientists. Projects like glow-in-the-dark beer and synthetic cheese are closer to the typical results of a today's biohacking endeavors than a homebrewed bioweapon or pathogen.
In fact, while biohacking does bring new potential to home-based scientific experiments, biotech still remains a highly complicated endeavor. An ambitious plan to sell glow-in-the-dark plants via a Kickstarter famously fell flat, with its creators admitting in essence that their plan to distribute genetically modified seeds was far more complex than they had expected.
Not to say that the biohackers' ambitions aren't always so misplaced. More successful projects in the DIY sphere have included the manufacture of professional-grade DNA multiplying devices known as PCR machines. These boxes, vital to DNA research, perform what's known as "amplification," making DNA samples large enough for proper observation and testing. What were formerly only available to well-funded labs with thousands of dollars to spend are now available to interested parties with the requisite amount of free time and under $100.
While the field is still quite young and limited at this point, bringing biotech into the hands of the people carries the potential to meet utopian needs outside of the typical lab-based profit motives. A benevolent biohacking movement may one day be able to take the steps to cure diseases and feed the hungry, without needing to report to shareholders or a board of trustees. Instead, they can measure their success by how many they've helped, not just profited from.
Dyson felt that the motivations of future biotechnologists will be focused towards compassion and self-fulfillment, rather than profit motives. He went on to say that fears about home bioengineering are extremely similar to fears about computing in the mid-20th century. Anxious that access to computers was, at that time out of the public's hands and used to sometimes deadly means (like designing the hydrogen bomb) meant that widespread fear of the machines was a somewhat rational response. Can biotech, like computers, become something that we all engage with on a daily basis?
The answers await us in the future. Biohacking has already brought genetic engineering into homes and citizen laboratories across the globe. With these tools in thousands more hands than ever before, the next step is to focus these efforts into the greater good. Only then will DIY Biohacking be more than a simple diversion. For the future of this movement, and biotechnology as a whole, change is in the hands of the people. It's still to be seen what will come of it.


EVERETT — An employee of a real estate office in Everett shot and wounded an intruder Thursday during a fight.
Police say the 76-year-old employee had called 911 and said he was holding a burglar at gunpoint. But before officers arrived the 30-year-old suspect started throwing office equipment at the employee who shot him in the leg.
The man was able to flee. A police dog found him hiding in a backyard in the same block.
The wounded man was treated at a hospital before going to jail. The employee suffered a minor injury to his arm.

In practice, all matters that are important to students are decided in the bodies chosen by elections. Whether it is the European parliament, the Finnish parliament or the local council of Tampere, people are making decisions for us in all these places.
One of the biggest issues for students is that young people's voices are far from the heart of the decision-making. The average age in the local council is 47 years, 51 years in the Finnish parliament and 54 years in the European parliament. This has a direct effect on how well our voices are heard.
The heart of the problem is, that young people don't vote as actively as the older generations. The situation is the worst in the elections of the European Parliament: only 10 percent of the 18-24-year-olds voted in the last election. A lot of matters that are very important concerning our future, are outlined on the level of EU, for instance about environmental politics and right now these outlines are made by voters and representatives who are in their sixties.
Quite many young people think that they don't know enough of politics to make a decision about who to vote. Our message is that yes, you do. If you have even one thing on your mind that you wish to change, you can find your party and candidate based on that. Or if you know at least one candidate or party, that you would never vote for, you can vote for anyone else. With the way that the Finnish electoral system works, an unused or an empty vote is basically a vote for all candidates equally – even for the candidate you hate.
Voting matters even if your own candidate doesn't get elected. It always sends the message to the candidate, that their thoughts are supported. It encourages to continue working on important matters.
The advocacy of the student union also needs that same support. Our opportunities to influence decision-making and to make the students' opinions heard is directly dependent on what kind of people sit in the parliament in the next term of office.

A comparative analysis of major clinical outcomes with drug-eluting stents versus bare metal stents in male versus female patients
Ran Kornowski, Hana Vaknin-Assa, Abid Assali, Eli I. Lev, Avital Porter, Alexander Battler, Tamir Bental
Aims: To conduct a risk-adjusted gender-based analysis of clinical outcomes following drug-eluting stent (DES) versus bare metal stent (BMS) implantation in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods and results: We compared risk-adjusted total mortality rate, myocardial infarction, and eventfree survival (defined as freedom from death, myocardial infarction and/or repeat revascularisation) in a consecutive cohort of 7,662 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention at our institution, including 1,835 (25.4%) women. Follow-up was six months to 6.2 years (mean: 3.5 years; median: 3.6 years). The women were older than men and more likely to suffer from diabetes, hypertension or congestive heart failure. Smokers were more often men, and men were more likely to have had prior coronary bypass surgery compared to women. A DES was used in 39.9% of males and 39.5% of females. Both genders derived a significant long-term clinical benefit from DES compared to BMS; advantages were observed for mortality (men: HR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.64-0.96, p=0.016; women: HR=0.62, 95% CI: 0.45-0.85, p=0.003) and major adverse cardiac events (men: HR=0.73, 95% CI: 0.63-0.84, p<0.001; women: HR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.52-0.84, p=0.001). Among BMS-treated patients, women had worse cumulative clinical outcomes than men. DES eliminated the gender differences in cardiac prognosis. Conclusions: Our analysis indicated a profound prognostic advantage for DES versus BMS among both genders, though female patients appeared to derive the greatest benefit.

NASA study finds warmer future could bring droughts
NASA scientists may have discovered how a warmer climate in the future could increase droughts in certain parts of the world, including the southwest United States.
The researchers compared historical records of the climate impact of changes in the sun's output with model projections of how a warmer climate driven by greenhouse gases would change rainfall patterns. They found that a warmer future climate likely will produce droughts in the same areas as those observed in ancient times, but potentially with greater severity.
"These findings strongly suggest that greenhouse gases and long-term changes in solar activity both can have major influences on climate via similar processes," said Drew Shindell, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, New York. Shindell is lead author of a paper that appeared in the Dec. 27, 2006, issue of the American Geophysical Union's "Geophysical Research Letters."
"There is some evidence that rainfall patterns already may be changing," Shindell added. "Much of the Mediterranean area, North Africa and the Middle East rapidly are becoming drier. If the trend continues as expected, the consequences may be severe in only a couple of decades. These changes could pose significant water resource challenges to large segments of the population."
Using the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies climate model, researchers found that changes in solar output in the ancient past increased surface warming and altered atmospheric moisture and circulations. These changes likely led to the severe droughts seen in paleoclimate records.
The same model showed that greenhouse-gas warming has similar effects on the atmosphere, suggesting drier conditions may become more common in the subtropics. Rainfall could decrease further in already water-stressed regions such as the southwest United States, Mexico, parts of North Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. Meanwhile, precipitation may increase across the western Pacific, along much of the equator and in parts of southeast Asia.
The computer model considers changes in the oceans, weather, and chemistry of the atmosphere, like ozone concentrations, and accurately reproduced the broad rainfall shifts toward regionally drier or wetter conditions during the past several hundred years. Sunspot and ice core data also link the historical rainfall shifts to variations in the amount of energy released by the sun. Since the size of solar changes is uncertain, the study focused on the location and pattern of precipitation shifts, not their precise amount.
Increases in solar output break up oxygen molecules, raising ozone concentrations in the upper atmosphere. This adds to upper atmospheric heating that leads to shifts in circulations down to the surface. In turn, surface temperatures warm, and the Earth's basic rainfall patterns are enhanced. For instance, in wet regions such as the tropics, precipitation usually increases, while dry areas become more prone to drought since rainfall decreases and warmer temperatures help remove the small amount of moisture in the soil.
"Precipitation is hard to predict because it is so highly variable, but these results increase our confidence that continued warming will be associated with large-scale changes in rainfall," said Shindell.
Researchers also considered numerous tree-ring, fire, and lake sediment records from across the Americas, including Mexico, Peru, and the Yucatan Peninsula. These data are reliable indicators of historical climate and confirm a pronounced increase in drought frequency in the southern United States, Mexico, and other subtropical locations during periods of increased solar output in the past 1,200 years. This long-term record of solar output is based on chemical isotopes whose production is related to the sun's brightness. Conversely, in parts of the tropics, ocean sediment data, key indicators of precipitation changes, reflect increased rainfall.
According to the researchers, the same processes identified by this new research very likely also affected past civilizations, such as the Pueblo people of New Mexico and Arizona who abandoned cities in the 1300s.
