Marriage appears to be an agreement, a social contract, between two people to continue ongoing negotiations about how each person will show up to better themselves, each other, and the relationship. Each individual enters the agreement under the belief that this union is more beneficial to each individual's life than what that individual could do on their own. As a social institution, marriage provides the motivation for ongoing negotiations between each individual. From an evolutionary perspective, marriage is a time tested strategy for successful conception and raising of children. In which case, marriage is of utility.
So why do we complicate marriage with love? You would not enter a business contract under the influence of cocaine or heroin, yet we enter the contract of marriage under the influence of love. Wouldn't this contract be better conducted if we were in a rational state? Love may be the glue that keeps the contract intact, providing motivation to connect, to help the other person in their worst times, to sacrifice parts of you for them, and for agreeing to continue negotiations.
Maybe we have confused the type of love that is correct for marriage. The Greeks understood that we are capable of more than one form of love. We want to believe marriage is for Pragma, a mature enduring love, or even more, Agape, an unconditional love. Despite this romantic ideal, building long lasting love takes time and marriage, being a contract, is anything but unconditional. Maybe the form of love marriage is aiming for is Philia, a deep friendship and soul connection based on values. However, should the spiritual union of two people in love be tied to this social contract? Maybe there is another form of love. One based on conditions of mutual growth and utility. But that does not sound much like love at all.
Love in marriage may be a deep desire to want the very best circumstance for that other person, because you see the beauty of humanity in its unique manifestation in this other person. But what if that best thing is not you?
In the agreement of supporting the development of the other person, there may come a time when the development of each spouse would be better done in separation. In which case, if marriage is not to end in divorce, it would require more flexibility, allowing time for separation and then reconciliation of identities through ongoing negotiations of values. If marriage is a contract, why don't you periodically negotiate terms as each person develops? Contracts have terms and dates. Surely, the contract does not serve in the same way forever.
As each person in the marriage changes, their type of love changes, and what compatibility was right for one time may not be right for another, calling for a new form of marriage. As there are different forms of love, there are different forms of marriage. Two people may form a bond strictly around companionship, devoid of passion or romance. People in a parenting marriage may commit to raising children together, agreeing to stay in the marriage for the duration of raising those children, yet spiritual or sexual connection may not be part of the package.
And what of monogamy? Is monogamy truly the best way to handle the goal of marriage? Of course, there are open marriages where both people consensually agree to see other people. Love is not finite. I can love more than one person and love each in a different way. Maybe, I have a social contract with one person, for financial or parenting reasons, and the erotic lover of another because it fits each person's circumstances better. It's too much of a burden to place all my needs to be fulfilled by one other person. I don't hire one person to fill all roles in my company, so why expect that in my family?
I'm coming to the conclusion that love and spiritual union of two people should be separate from the social contract of marriage. The feeling of building a life with another should not be taken lightly. This spiritual union of two souls helping each other to grow should be respected and acknowledged, not in the form of a legal contract stating terms and dates, but a point of development where the true act of love would be to let that person go.

Ex-Labour Commissioner faults TAWU for Port strike
by The New Today November 18, 2022 November 18, 2022
The striking Port Authority workers have crippled activities on the St George's Pier
A former Commissioner of Labour has accused the Technical & Allied Workers Union (TAWU) and its President Senator Andre Lewis of being engaged in an illegal strike action on the St George's Port that is now crippling the public especially private sector businesses that have millions of dollars in goods under lockdown on the island's main port of entry.
Speaking to THE NEW TODAY on Friday, the labour official said the union and workers failed to "exhaust the dispute procedure" in calling a strike in what is an Essential Service and in breach of the Labour Relations act.
"The Ministry of Labour should advise the trade union to get the workers back working while the dispute procedure is activated," he said.
The former high-ranking government employee suggested that the new Congress administration of Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell should remind TAWU of its responsibility by law to get the workers back on the job and to follow the procedures on strike in an Essential Service like the Grenada Ports Authority (GPA).
"Get the workers back on the job and after that we discuss the issues. It is in the union agreement with the company that there is a procedure to resolve disputes," he said.
The workers took strike action on Monday after GPA fired a female employee whom it accused of breaching the work ethics.
The employee has been dogged over the years with a number of allegations and just before the June 23 general election and change of government was the subject of an investigation for alleged wrongdoing on the port.
Referring to the port as "a strategic area where the government collects its revenues", the former Labour Commissioner pointed out that TAWU should "follow the dispute procedure where we go to conciliation and if the minister cannot settle it we appoint arbitrators to give a final judgement on the matter on facts."
"The first thing that they (TAWU) (have) to do is to get the workers back on the job and then come around the table," he remarked.
The former high-ranking public officer took issue with statements reportedly made by Sen. Lewis that he had only joined the strike after the workers took industrial action by withholding their labour from GPA.
He described Sen. Lewis' behaviour "as the tail was wagging the dog" since it is now apparent that "the workers went on strike and the union went in and followed them."
"The union (is) supposed to get the workers back on the job, inform them that it is an Essential Service, go back on the job and take the dispute to the Ministry of Labour. It is as simple as that."
"If the Labour Minister and the Minister of Labour cannot handle it then the minister has the authority to appoint Arbitration – it is not voluntary, it is compulsory. If the matter cannot be resolved the Minister can set up an Arbitration panel to look at the facts and come with a final determination which is legal and binding. Anything that comes from the Arbitrators is legal and binding. There is no need to go to court and so, as this is what the law says."
"The law says that if the union and management cannot settle it in front of the (Labour) Commissioner because it is an Essential Service the Minister could appoint an Arbitration Panel which is comprised of a government representative, a representative from management and a representative from the union and whatever came from that Arbitration Tribunal is final and binding," he remarked.
"So if the government is wrong, the government is wrong. If the union is wrong, the union is wrong and that is final and binding – that is the law but they (TAWU) must get the workers back on the job while the process is going on."

I saw the Aeon Flux marathon on MTV last night. Dispite it went on untill 3:00 I must say it was very cool. I saw Aeon Flux before, but I never really payed much attention to it. I heard from a friend that they were going to start a 4th season of Aeon Flux. Is this true? To my understanding, Aeon Flux is only in Liquid Television. I looked through the TV listings for this week and the next. I can't find it anywhere. When is Liquid Television on?
Aeon Flux and Liquid Television are no longer aired on MTV (or any other station at that matter) anywhere in the US. You were lucky to catch the marathon Saturday night. Once in a while they will show a marathon but they only use it as a filler in their schedule. Sorry to disappoint you.
-- Eric (clerk_x@hotmail.com), October 12, 1998.
Mtv is now airing episodes on mtv.com. The streaming video isn't so great; you have to keep it it's original size, but they just started the episodes this week.
-- Lindsay Hartwell (lindstar@hotmail.com), June 02, 2001.
um, that has been there for months. I think we all got excited when they put it up. If they showed them all on the net it may have lead to something more... but alas they have seemed to give up on that idea.
-- William (stateofflux@yahoo.com), June 04, 2001.
I have kazaa ( www.kazaa.com) and i was able to download to aeon flux short vids, Gravity and War. If MTV shows them on the web then its possible to download them or save them and transfer then to kazaa, or any network sharing community that lets u download. That would be cool if someone does that, so u can have them on your PC then burn them and keep them. Thats what im doing !!
-- Raul F (Psychomantis1385@aol.com), July 14, 2001.
Aeon Flux videos/dvds are available for purchase.....i wonder if someone will rip them and put them in the file sharing community networks ...... just a thought....(hint hint).
-- Markus (mark_wehrenberg@hotmail.com), February 11, 2002.
I've been searching Kazaa for about 5 months or so, and I can find every episode except 4 - Night, The Demiurge, Ether Drift Theory, and Utopia or Deutoronopia?. I can find "sources" for these four, but they never download. Why are these four so damned rare?

Gemini 9 (właściwie Gemini 9A) – siódmy lot załogowy programu Gemini. Podczas misji astronauta Eugene Cernan przeprowadził drugi w historii NASA spacer kosmiczny (EVA).

Załoga

Podstawowa
 Thomas Stafford
 Eugene Cernan
Początkowo stanowili oni załogę rezerwową. Pierwotnie planowana załoga podstawowa (Elliott See i Charles Bassett) zginęła w katastrofie lotniczej na cztery miesiące przed planowanym startem Gemini 9.

Rezerwowa
 James Lovell
 Edwin Aldrin

CapCom
 Edwin Aldrin (przylądek Canaveral, Houston)
 Neil Armstrong (Houston)
 James Lovell (Houston)
 Richard Gordon (Houston)

Misja

Start
 17 maja 1966 roku – pierwsza próba startu. Dwadzieścia sekund przed wyłączeniem silników rakiety Atlas/Agena Centrum Misji straciło kontrolę nad rakietą. Dysza Atlasa nagle przesunęła się w bok i wprowadziła rakietę w ruch wirowy. Drugi raz Agena zamieniła się w zwały odłamków spadających do Atlantyku. Przerwano wsteczne odliczanie na stanowisku startowym nr 19, gdzie na start czekali Cernann i Stafford. Centrum otrzymało polecenie opracowania misji zastępczej. Polegała na przygotowaniu rezerwowego obiektu docelowego ATDA.
 1 czerwca 1966 roku – wystrzelenie modułu ATDA przebiegło zgodnie z planem. Założona orbita kołowa na wysokości niemal 300 kilometrów została osiągnięta. W czasie przelotu nad zamiejscową stacją kontroli na Bermudach dane telemetryczne przesłane z ATDA wskazały na nieodłączenie osłony dziobowej. Również stacja na Wyspach Kanaryjskich zameldowała o nieprawidłowym locie adaptera. Powodowało to nadmierne zużycie paliwa w silnikach korekcyjnych adaptera. Po dwudziestu minutach lotu zużyto połowę paliwa znajdującego się w ATDA. Kierownictwo misji podjęło decyzję o wyłączeniu silników korekcyjnych. W tym czasie wsteczne odliczanie dla Gemini 9A (dla uproszczenia spraw papierkowych, misję przemianowano na Gemini 9A) miało zaplanowaną fazę wstrzymania na trzy minuty przed startem. Podczas przerwy obliczano dokładne parametry lotu lotu rakiety Titan, dzięki którym miała osiągnąć tę samą orbitę co ATDA. Zakładano określenie najdogodniejszego momentu startu, aby osiągnąć optymalne warunki do spotkania z adapterem w trakcie trzeciego okrążenia (łącznie zakładano trzykrotne spotkanie z obiektem docelowym). Po wznowieniu odliczania okazało się, że nie zdołano uaktualnić systemów nawigacyjnych Titana. Zawiodła elektronika przy próbie wysłania do rakiety zmodyfikowanych danych. Start został anulowany i przesunięty o czterdzieści osiem godzin. W tym czasie przeprowadzono serię prób z ATDA, wykorzystując komendy naziemne do wysuwania i chowania mechanizmu dokowania, a także odpalenie silników korekcyjnych z nadzieją, że uda się odrzucić osłonę. Zespół kontroli naziemnej i załoga Gemini 9 spotkali się z zespołem, który instalował osłonę aerodynamiczną. Według niego z obręczy nie usunięto bolca zabezpieczającego, przez co pomimo uruchomienia sekwencji odrzucenia osłony obręcz nie została zwolniona, a osłona się nie otworzyła.
 3 czerwca 1966 roku – start udany.

Cele misji
Podobnie jak w poprzedniej misji, celem głównym było dokowanie ze stopniem rakietowym Agena oraz EVA (spacer kosmiczny). Dokowanie miało nastąpić w trakcie trzeciego okrążenia Ziemi. Jako drugoplanowe cele wyznaczono ćwiczenia dokowania oraz podejścia do celu z wyższej (a nie jak wcześniej - z niższej) orbity oraz doskonalenie procedury sterowanego przejścia przez atmosferę. Cele misji (dokowanie i EVA) zostały osiągnięte tylko częściowo. Cernan nie zdążył użyć AMU (Astronaut Maneuvering Unit), choć z drugiej strony ustanowił nowy rekord przebywania w otwartej przestrzeni kosmicznej - 2 godziny i 9 minut i zgromadził niezwykle wartościowe doświadczenia, dotyczące problemów, które wiązały się z pracą na zewnątrz statku kosmicznego. Dzięki jego raportowi następne spacery przebiegały o wiele sprawniej.

Przebieg lotu
Perygeum orbity znajdowało się na wysokości 159 km (po zmianie orbity – 296 km), apogeum – 269 km (po zmianie orbity – 296 km). Dwa odpalenia silników statku Gemini 9A wystarczyły, by statek znalazł się dokładnie tam, gdzie powinien, i zaczął zbliżać do celu z prędkością 38 metrów na sekundę. Radar namierzył satelitę ATDA, gdy kapsułę dzieliły od niego 222 km. Z odległości 93 km dostrzeżono światła ATDA, zainstalowane, by ułatwić astronautom identyfikację obiektu. Po zbliżeniu zauważyli, że na satelicie wciąż znajduje się osłona aerodynamiczna, która zakrywała węzeł cumowniczy satelity (od wyglądu ATDA został ochrzczony jako wściekły krokodyl (angry alligator)). Nie można było zrealizować dokowania. Analiza problemu jaka została przeprowadzona po zakończeniu misji wykazała, że główną przyczyną pozostania osłony na adapterze był zły przepływ informacji pomiędzy wykonawcami jego podzespołów. Pierwszy i drugi dzień misji upłynęły na ćwiczeniach podejścia do celu. W sumie obaj astronauci wykonali trzykrotnie manewr spotkania z celem zastępczym, użytym z konieczności zamiast pierwotnie przewidywanego członu Agena. Centrum Kontroli Misji wyraziło zgodę na rozpoczęcie spaceru kosmicznego. Załoga była jednak zmęczona i Stafford poprosił o zakończenie ćwiczeń manewrowania i utrzymania pozycji, których nie można było doprowadzić do etapu dokowania. Wyjście w przestrzeń kosmiczną zostało przełożone na następny dzień.

Spacer kosmiczny
EVA, przeprowadzona trzeciego dnia przez Cernana, okazała się niezwykle cennym doświadczeniem. Z jednej strony, nic nie poszło tak, jak powinno, z drugiej zaś - astronauci odebrali bardzo pouczającą lekcję pracy w kosmosie, która pokazała z jakimi problemami należy się liczyć podczas wyjścia na zewnątrz statku. Cernan opuścił kabinę połączony ze statkiem białą "pępowiną" o długości 7,5 m, zawierającą przewód tlenowy oraz przewody elektryczne, umożliwiające łączność z drugim astronautą. Pierwszą czynnością, jaką wykonał Cernan, było przymocowanie specjalnego zwierciadła na zewnątrz kabiny, blisko części dziobowej statku. Dzięki temu Stafford mógł obserwować i fotografować swego towarzysza w czasie, gdy ten znajdował się w pobliżu tylnej części Gemini 9. Cernan umieścił też w pobliżu włazu do kabiny 16-milimetrową kamerę filmową. Następnie rozpoczął swój spacer starając się oswoić z osobliwym ośrodkiem jaki go otaczał. Po 55 minutach pobytu poza kabiną wraz z Gemini 9 znalazł się w cieniu Ziemi. Zaczął wówczas przygotowywać się do prób z AMU. Natrafił jednak na nieprzewidziane trudności. Powłoka ochronna, zabezpieczająca AMU przed nadmiernym nagrzaniem, nie oddzieliła się i astronauta zmuszony został do wydobycia aparatu ręcznie. Następna czynność to sprawdzenie AMU, w czasie którego należało wykonać 32 różne operacje. Czynności te okazały się wyjątkowo męczące. Jak stwierdził Stafford, jego kolega wykonał cztero- do pięciokrotnie więcej pracy, niż przewidywano. Ze względu na ogromny wysiłek szyba hełmu Cernana szybko zaparowała, a jego puls wzrósł do 195 uderzeń na minutę. Lekarz w Centrum Kontroli Misji zaczął się obawiać, że astronauta straci przytomność i zdecydował o zakończeniu pracy poza statkiem. Cernan był tak spocony, że wilgoć gromadząca się na szybie hełmu uniemożliwiała mu zobaczenie czegokolwiek. Musiał skorzystać z pomocy Stafforda przy wchodzeniu do kapsuły. Nastąpiło to po dwóch godzinach i dziewięciu minutach pobytu poza statkiem. Astronauta był bardzo wyczerpany. Wrócił dość szybko do sił. Również po powrocie na Ziemię czuł się dobrze. Niemniej jednak specjaliści doszli do wniosku, iż zbyt optymistycznie oceniali możliwość wykonywania pracy w otwartej przestrzeni kosmicznej. Wcale nie tania aparatura AMU nie została wypróbowana przez Cernana i stała się jeszcze jednym sztucznym satelitą Ziemi.

Wodowanie
W czasie powrotu na Ziemię astronautom udało się wykonać bardzo ważne zadanie. Po raz pierwszy zrobili barwne zdjęcia rozpalonych gazów, otaczających kapsułę w trakcie przelotu przez atmosferę. Kapsuła Gemini 9A wodowała na zachodnim Atlantyku 6 czerwca 1966 roku o godzinie 14:00:23 w odległości około 550 km od przylądka Canaveral – zaledwie 700 metrów od zaplanowanego miejsca. Kapsuła opadała tak blisko lotniskowca USS Wasp (CV-18), który miał go wyłowić, że stało się możliwe uchwycenie wodowania przez kamery telewizyjne. Gemini 9 wodował w odległości nieco ponad 6 km od okrętu ratowniczego.

ATDA
ATDA (indeks COSPAR 1966-46A) wystrzelony 1 czerwca 1966 roku na orbitę o parametrach 293/296 km. Masa jego wynosiła 795 kg, przeznaczony do wypróbowania operacji łączenia.

Zniszczenie Ageny podczas startu zmusiło Centrum Kontroli Misji (MCC) do opracowania misji zastępczej. Zwrócono się do firmy McDonnell Aircraft Corporation z prośbą o przygotowanie rezerwowego obiektu do połączenia ze statkiem Gemini. Obiekt ten nazwano docelowym adapterem dokowania (ATDA). W jego skład wchodziły:
 aerodynamiczna osłona części dziobowej
 kołnierz cumowniczy
 system sterowania Ageny
 przedział zawierający źródła energii elektrycznej
 zestaw kontroli położenia przestrzennego Gemini, stosowanego przed wejściem w atmosferę.
Charakterystycznym elementem członu była ponad trzymetrowa osłona aerodynamiczna, która otwierała się jak muszla i była pirotechnicznie odrzucana po przejściu atmosfery, aby odsłonić system cumowniczy.
Człon ATDA miał pełną funkcjonalność Ageny, nie pozwalał tylko na manewrowanie na orbicie. Wykonany został z części zapasowych Ageny i statku Gemini.

AMU

Urządzenie napędowe było przeznaczone do noszenia na plecach. Jego dysze były zasilane gazem wytwarzanym w czasie rozkładu wody utlenionej. W skład AMU (Astronaut Maneuvering Unit – Układ Manewrowy Astronauty) wchodził również autonomiczny układ zaopatrywania astronauty w tlen oraz aparatura radiowa do utrzymywania łączności z kabiną. Pozwalało to na pewną niezależność. Połączenie za pomocą prostej liny, która gwarantowała możliwość powrotu i stanowiła więź natury psychologicznej, dopełniało całość. Urządzenie to znajdowało się w specjalnym schowku, do którego można było dostać się dopiero po wyjściu na zewnątrz statku. Poruszanie po zewnętrznej ścianie statku umożliwiały specjalne uchwyty do rąk. Układ napędowy na skutek różnych okoliczności w trakcie realizacji programu Gemini nie został nigdy użyty.

Zdjęcia wykonane przez astronautów w czasie operacji spotkania z ATDA również okazały w pewnym stopniu rewelacyjne. Odznaczały się wyjątkową ostrością i bogactwem szczegółów. Pozwoliły one, po powrocie na Ziemię, ustalić przyczyny nieoddzielenia się stożka ochronnego od ATDA. Okazało się, jeszcze przed wysłaniem, załoga naziemna przygotowująca adapter do misji nie podłączyła przewodów do sworzni wybuchowych, biorąc je omyłkowo za końcówki przewodów, które doprowadza się do przyrządów służących do sprawdzania obwodów i urządzeń pojazdu w czasie jego kontroli naziemnej.

John Burnett
Allison Shelley / NPR
As NPR's Southwest correspondent based in Austin, Texas, John Burnett covers immigration, border affairs, Texas news and other national assignments. In 2018, he won an Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio-Television News Directors Association for continuing coverage of the immigration beat, and he was invited to participate in a workshop on Refugees, Immigration and Border Security in Western Europe, sponsored by the RIAS Berlin Commission.
Though he is assigned to the National Desk, his beat has sometimes stretched around the world.
He has filed stories from more than 30 countries since joining NPR in 1986. In 2012, he spent five months in Nairobi as the East Africa Correspondent, followed by a stint during 2013 as the network's religion reporter. His special reporting projects have included working in New Orleans during and after Hurricane Katrina, as an embedded reporter with the First Marine Division during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and continuing coverage of the U.S. drug war in the Americas. His reports are heard regularly on NPR's award-winning newsmagazines Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Weekend Edition.
Burnett's 2008 groundbreaking four-part series "Dirty Money"—which examined how law enforcement agencies have gotten hooked on and, in some cases, corrupted by seized drug money—won three national awards: a Scripps Howard National Journalism Award for Investigative Reporting, a Sigma Delta Chi Society of Professional Journalists Award for Investigative Reporting, and an Edward R. Murrow Award for the accompanying website. His 2007 three-part series "The Forgotten War," which took a critical look at the nation's 30-year war on drugs, won a Nancy Dickerson Whitehead Award for Excellence in Reporting on Drug and Alcohol Problems.
In 2006, Burnett's memoir, Uncivilized Beasts & Shameless Hellions: Travels with an NPR Correspondent, was published by Rodale Press. In that year, he also served as an Ethics Fellow at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in St. Petersburg, Florida.
In 2004, Burnett won a national Edward R. Murrow Award for investigative reporting for his story on the accidental U.S. bombing of an Iraqi village. His work was singled out by judges for the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award honoring the network's overall coverage of the Iraq War. Also in 2003, Burnett won a first place National Headliner Award for investigative reporting about corruption among federal immigration agents on the U.S.-Mexico border.
In the months following the attacks of September 11, Burnett reported from New York City, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. His reporting contributed to coverage that won the Overseas Press Club Award and an Alfred I. duPont Columbia University Award.
In 2001, Burnett reported and produced a one-hour documentary, "The Oil Century," for KUT-FM in Austin, which won a silver prize at the New York Festivals. He was a visiting faculty member in broadcast journalism at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in 2002 and 1997. He received a Ford Foundation Grant in 1997 for a special series on sustainable development in Latin America.
Burnett's favorite stories are those that reveal a hidden reality. He recalls happening upon Carlos Garcia, a Mexico City street musician who plays a musical leaf, a chance encounter that brought a rare and beautiful art form to a national audience. In reporting his series "Fraud Down on the Farm," Burnett spent nine months investigating the abuse of the United States crop insurance system and shining light on surprising stories of criminality.
Abroad, his report on the accidental U.S. Air Force bombing of the Iraqi village of Al-Taniya, an event that claimed 31 lives, helped listeners understand the fog of war. His "Cocaine Republics" series in 2004 was one of the first accounts to detail the emergence of Central America as a major drug smuggling region. But many listeners remember the audio postcard he filed while on assignment in Peshawar, Pakistan, after 9/11 about what it was like being, at six-foot-seven, the "tallest American at a Death-to-Americarally."
Prior to coming to NPR, Burnett was based in Guatemala City for United Press International covering the Central America civil wars. From 1979-1983, he was a general assignment reporter for various Texas newspapers.
Burnett graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor's degree in journalism.

Government Plans Dramatic Expansion Of Migrant Child Shelters
The Department of Health and Human Services is dramatically expanding its network of child shelters across the country in order to avoid the kind of scandal that occurred in Clint, Texas, where scores of immigrant children were warehoused together.
"There are too many kids in Border Patrol stations right now, and we're working to get them out of those stations and into HHS care," says Mark Weber, HHS deputy assistant secretary for public affairs.

The acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection plans to step down in the coming weeks, according to two agency officials, amid a public furor over the treatment of migrant children in U.S. facilities.
John Sanders is expected to make his resignation effective July 5, according to the officials, who spoke to NPR on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made to agency employees.

As The Line Into America Slows, Communities Form, And Wait, On The Mexican Side
Thousands of asylum-seekers from Central America, Cuba and elsewhere have massed in Mexican border cities, waiting and hoping to be granted legal entry to the United States. They have created a humanitarian crisis, and they're growing impatient.
Responding to that crisis, the Trump administration threatened last week to impose tariffs to pressure Mexico to block the streams of migrants who are crossing its southern border bound for the United States.

By John Burnett • May 23, 2019
Central American migrants who were detained in a Border Patrol holding facility in McAllen, Texas, described atrocious living conditions and widespread sickness.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection shut down its largest migrant processing center in South Texas for 24 hours on Tuesday after 32 detainees got sick with the flu. This is the same location where a 16-year-old Guatemalan boy became sick, and died Monday at another Border Patrol station.

Guatemalan Toddler Apprehended At U.S. Border Dies After Weeks In Hospital
By Vanessa Romo & John Burnett • May 16, 2019
A Guatemalan toddler died in a hospital Tuesday night, just over a month after he and his mother crossed the southwest border and were apprehended, according to the Guatemalan consul in Del Rio, Texas.
The family entered the U.S. from the border city of Juárez, Mexico, in early April. They were apprehended on April 3 on the north bank of the Rio Grande in central El Paso, Texas, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Guatemalan Consul Tekandi Paniagua told NPR that the 2½-year-old boy "had a high fever [and] difficulty breathing."

New Mexico County Declares Local Emergency Over Abandoned Border Patrol Checkpoints
By John Burnett • Apr 26, 2019
For people familiar with the lonesome highways of far West Texas and New Mexico, it's an unusual sight: The ubiquitous Border Patrol checkpoints are all closed. Last month, Homeland Security shifted the checkpoint agents to the border to help process the crush of migrant asylum-seekers.
Otero County, N.M., is so alarmed by the possibility of illegal narcotics flowing north unchecked that it has declared a local state of emergency.

Mario Garcia sits in the doorway of his tire shop in Gracias a Dios, Guatemala, a short distance from the border with Mexico, watching the unfettered flow of migrants headed north. By his estimate, up to 1,000 migrants cross over into Carmen Xhan, Mexico, every day.
"This is an open border," Garcia says, with a knowing smile. "There's no immigration control on this side or the other side. Anyone can go across freely."

Fake Birth Certificates A Growing Problem Amid Migrant Family Surge
The Trump administration is now warning about "fake families" amid the surge of Central American migrants crossing the southern border. Border agents have noticed an uptick in adult immigrants traveling with minors who are not their children. The administration suspects foul play, but immigrant advocates say they're just trying to make it into the U.S. for a better life.
A Surge Of Migrants Strains Border Patrol As El Paso Becomes Latest Hot Spot
By John Burnett • Mar 26, 2019
As thousands of migrant parents and children continue to stream across the U.S.-Mexico border every day, the Border Patrol is bringing in more agents and asking the Pentagon for additional help.
The Border Patrol says it needs more manpower to care for the migrants — more of whom are coming with infectious illnesses. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen says agents are on track to stop nearly 100,000 people crossing illegally this month — far exceeding last month's total.

When migrant children cross the border without their parents, they're sent to federal shelters until caseworkers can find them a good home. But everything changes when they turn 18. That's when, in many cases, they're handcuffed and locked up in an adult detention facility. The practice is sparking lawsuits and outrage from immigrant advocates.

NOSH Headlines Top Feature Jason Harty Heads to Theo, Spudsy and Sarah's Snacks See Staff Switches
Jason Harty Heads to Theo, Spudsy and Sarah's Snacks See Staff Switches
Meagan McGinnes Aug. 30, 2018 at 4:53 PM
There's a new wave of leadership in the food industry this summer. Here are the latest team shake ups that you should know.
Jason Harty Focuses on Digital at Theo Chocolate
After leading marketing efforts at companies including Nourish, Justin's and Pretzel Crisps, CPG vet Jason Harty has a new gig at Theo Chocolate. As of this month, Harty is the chocolate company's new CMO and general manager of direct-to-consumer business.
Harty was the CMO at Nourish Snacks, originally an entirely direct-to-consumer brand, where he led the efforts in translating consumer, market, cultural insights into a new brand strategy and look before departing in March.
Since 2006, Theo Chocolate has been producing organic, fair trade and non-GMO chocolates sold in retailers nationally and in its Seattle factory location that welcomes more than 50,000 visitors a year. In addition to focusing on the brand and marketing — which Harty said is his number one priority — he will also work to grow Theo's direct-to-consumer business, which accounts for about 10 percent of sales.
"It feels like e-commerce started this 'where does it belong' conversation between sales and marketing… it's this specialized channel of business and it's not like you can turn it on like you can brick and mortar retail," Harty said. "There's a lot of low hanging fruit when it comes to a great opportunity for [Theo] to grow."
Harty has joined Theo at a time when the chocolate company has seen other shifts in it's c-suite. Etienne Patout assumed the helm of the company as CEO in April, taking on the role from co-founder Joe Whinney. Mitchell Hymowitz also joined the company as CFO in April. Despite the leadership changes, Harty told NOSH that some aspects of the company will always stay true to its origins.
"I can tell you what's not going to change. We're going to remain a company that's rooted in cocoa and it's going to be driven by a mission," he said. "I'm just hoping to bring the marketing knowledge and the brand building experience that I have to this mission and help continue to grow the business."
Ben & Jerry's Gains New CEO
Unilever veteran Matthew McCarthy was named CEO of Vermont-based ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's, the company announced earlier this month. McCarthy assumed his new position on June 1.
Ben & Jerry's, which was acquired by Unilever in 2000, is known for its mission-driven initiatives and focus on sustainability. But within the walls of Unilever, so is McCarthy. During his 21 years at the CPG conglomerate, he's increased the social impact of a number of the company's leading brands, including Hellmann's and Knorr. Most recently, McCarthy and his team developed Growing Roots, Unilever's first organic snacking brand with a mission to support urban farming. In terms of bettering company culture and embracing diversity, McCarthy also founded the Men's Working Group for Gender Equality at Unilever.
"We are delighted to welcome Matthew, who brings a wealth of commercial experience, along with rock-solid values and a courageous vision for the role businesses can and should play in the world," Anuradha Mittal, Ben & Jerry's board of directors chairperson, said in a statement.
In his new role, McCarthy said his goal is to double Ben & Jerry's social impact by maintaining and growing the brand's value in the marketplace, as well as by giving back to the community. The leadership change comes shortly after Ben & Jerry's announced its first ice cream-free innovation: snackable cookie dough.
Spudsy Adds Experienced CPG Exec
Puff maker Spudsy may be the new brand on the shelf, but its team is made up of familiar faces in CPG.
Ashley Boeckle, co-founder of Buff Bake, left the protein-infused nut butters and cookie brand last month to focus full time on her new company. Now Boeckle is bringing in reinforcements. Earlier this month, Boeckle added t Mitchell Brantley to act as the company's president. Prior to joining Spudsy, Brantley held senior management roles at companies including Goldthread Herbs and Quaker Oats / Pacific Snapple Distributors.
"Mitch's experience with startups in this space and building them to national and global CPG brands is exactly what Spudsy needs," Boeckle told NOSH. "I have been a fan of this man since I met him at Expo West three years ago. We instantly clicked and I have always wanted to work with him. I know [he] will help get our baby Spudsy off the ground fast."
While Brantley will focus on the company's sales and finances, Boeckle said she will continue to lead operations, manufacturing, product development and marketing. Currently the brand is focusing on direct-to-consumer sales and meeting the demands of its successful Kickstarter campaign that launched earlier in the month.
Sarah's Snacks Loses Sarah
The co-founder and former CEO of Sarah's Sweet & Savory Snacks, formerly known as Nuts About Granola, announced this week that she's stepping away from her namesake brand.
Sarah Lanphier sent an email to colleagues and customers on Monday that she is parting ways with the company. In her new role as Director of Customer Commercialization at Wolfgang Confectioners Lanphier will be responsible for the sales and client management of the company's emerging brands segment. Gayle Lanphier, a registered dietician nutritionist and Sarah's Snacks owner and operator, will take over as CEO of the brand effective immediately.
"When I started the process of exiting Nuts About Granola, I did not know where I was going next, but I knew it was time for me to start a new journey," Sarah Lanphier wrote in the email. "Entrepreneurship is a crazy journey and one that I will never regret."
Other notable hires include:
Daily Harvest Adds VP of Product: Last month, Fiona O'Donnell McCarthy announced she was joining the subscription box maker's team. She will be leading efforts in product management and design to bring the customer's digital experience "to the next level."
Soylent Grows Team: The makers of Soylent, Rosa Foods, announced earlier this month that it has hired Demir Vangelov, Benjamin Cariou, and Andrew Thomas to join the team as the brand's CFO, vice president of digital acquisition and e-commerce, and vice president of brand marketing, respectively.
Nature's Bounty Focuses on Communication: The leading health brand hired Amy von Walter to act as the company's chief communications officer. Von Walter, who formerly held communications roles at companies including Toys R Us, Best Buy and Target, will focus on internal and external communications as well as government affairs and corporate social responsibility.
Kroger Promotes Gil Phipps: The retailer announced this month that Gil Phipps, former vice president of Our Brands, the company's private label line, was promoted to vice president of branding, marketing and Our Brands, effective August 15. Since joining the company in 2012, Phipps helped transform Our Brands through changes to formulations, branding and marketing, as well as through adding new brands.

Why Are People Jerks About This Simple Road Rule on Route 26?
It's a pretty easy concept. Slower traffic - keep right.
On Route 26 there are like seven of these areas from Gray to Bethel. These are always on hills, probably for trucks to move over so we can get by.
It has happened to me a million times and I've seen it happen a million times.
Just get over. If you are moving right along and ready to pass, then pass. But until then, just stay to the right. And if you do move to the left to pass, then pass. If you see that it's harder than you thought, move the hell back to the right.
I honestly don't know if it's just built into us to NOT let someone pass or what - but it's ridiculous.

By Wes Fenlon published 15 April 19
Out of hundreds of cool alien species, this is the most interesting hero Respawn could come up with?
Before Lucasfilm hit the reset button on the Star Wars canon, there were apparently more than 20 million species in the Star Wars galaxy. That number, which I've pulled from Wookieepedia and that Wookieepedia pulled from some Star Wars novel, surely does not refer to an actual list of species created by Lucasfilm over the years. It's too many. Narrow that down to sentient species that have their own wiki page, and it's merely hundreds: Twi'leks and Mon Calamari and Sullustans and Sock-Headed Worm People. In one of the Star Wars novels I'm now only slightly embarrassed to have read as a teenager, a genetically modified Ewok with prosthetic limbs worked as shuttle pilot.
What I'm saying is, there's a rich, weird, silly, pretty awesome range of alien species out there for Star Wars creators to draw from, invented over decades of movies and books and comics and games. And yet this is the character Respawn has chosen to lead Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Seriously? Where have I seen this guy before? Oh yeah: Solo, that Star Wars movie nobody asked for that spelled out a backstory nobody needed to know. Fallen Order's protagonist Cal Kestis looks like a knock-off young Solo, even if he's based on actor Cameron Monaghan rather than Alden Ehrenreich.
To quote executive editor Tyler Wilde: "They chose someone with the personality of a hotel bathrobe."
Where else have I seen a character an awful lot like this? Oh, just in the majority of big-budget videogames made in the last 15 years or so, more or less. The hood, the clean jaw, the broody face. I can't remember the last time I was this instantly bored looking at a videogame protagonist, and the rest of the Jedi: Fallen Order reveal trailer doesn't do much to bolster its flat lead. It's all cutscenes, so we get no real sense of how this game will play.
And the voiceover—"Trust no one… trust only in the Force" is a rote "See how disillusioned we are?" setup. Maybe a brilliant actor could've instilled this script with more desperation or conflict or a tinge of hope, but I watch this and I feel, well, nothing.
What a wasted opportunity. Of course I can't say yet if Cal Kestis will be a narratively interesting character. We'll only know that in November, when Fallen Order is out. But I can say that there were so many visually interesting options that Respawn, EA, and Lucasfilm didn't take here, and it's a damn shame. This isn't a movie, where hours of makeup, close-up shots, uncomfortable costumes and expensive CG are all barriers to making central characters aliens. This is a videogame, where the skills and imaginations of your artists are the only limitations.
Surely this wasn't as far as that imagination could stretch.
Here's a short tour of some of Star Wars' many, many alien species who could've made for more immediately interesting protagonists.
Jedi Master Shaak Ti showed up in Attack of the Clones and the subsequent Clone Wars series, and looks like a cooler Twi'Lek.
Bothans
Many of them died to bring you this information (that Bothans are cool).
Barabel
A lizardlike people, not to be confused with Trandoshans or that thing Kirk fights in that one Star Trek episode. Seba Sebatyne was a Jedi Master who took on Leia as an apprentice.
Arcona
A species known for being Force sensitive. One of them pops up at the very beginning of the cantina scene in A New Hope.
Calibop
Why would you not want to be a Jedi bird man???
Devaronians
Male Devaronians are bald, have horns and look like devils, but the females don't. Also, they had a damn Jedi temple on their planet circa the Clone Wars!
Like Darth Maul, but on the good side instead. What a twist! (Remember Bao-Dur from KotOR 2?)
Fosh
1. There might be a lot of bird people in Star Wars.
2. I freakin' told you a bird man Jedi would be awesome.
Mon Calamari
I wasn't entirely sure what the mon calamari hand situation was, but I can confirm that they can hold a lightsaber and thus would be entirely workable videogame protagonists and Jedi.
Gotal
The Gotal are pretty cool, though they look slightly too much like goats for me to be comfortable with the name.
Ossan
Okay, maybe not these guys.
Rodian
A species familiar to pretty much every Star Wars fans, with an expressive face and a history of Jedi representation in the Clone Wars series. Perfect.
Who are some of the most popular and enduring characters from the history of Star Wars? Droids! We love them in every dang movie and TV show and game. Granted, they make great sidekicks and rarely have to bear the weight of a starring role, and I know what you're thinking: Droids can't be Force-sensitive, right? Wrong. There's always a Wookieepedia page.
The blandness of Fallen Order's protagonist really stings when you hear that Uncharted writer Amy Hennig's canceled Star Wars project, Ragtag, would've starred a group of playable characters, not just a single protagonist. Here's a piece of key art from that game-that-will-never-be via Kotaku.
Even if the main character, Dodger, was a rogueish Han Solo knock-off, even if he was also a white guy with brown hair, I gotta say, he has more personality in his mustache than Cal Kestis has in his whole dang face.
I hope Fallen Order's lightsaber combat is great, and evokes a way of experiencing that galaxy we haven't had since Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. I just wish this hero wasn't a Force Unleashed retread with the edgelord knob dialed back 75%.

Jail History
Sheriff History
Sheriff's Reserve
Weapons Permits
The Wapello County Sheriff's Office and Jail is operated out of the Joint Wapello County/City of Ottumwa Law Enforcement Center. Opened in November 2000 Sheriff Phillips supervises his Office and 129 bed Jail Facility. Wapello County is currently ranked 19th in population in Iowa out of the 99 counties within Iowa.
The Wapello County Sheriff's Office is located at 330 W. 2nd St. in Ottumwa, Iowa. Ottumwa being the County Seat of Wapello County. The Sheriff's Office and Jail is in a shared facility with the Ottumwa Police Department.

The Sheriff's Office also operates the Jail, provides Court Security, Civil Process Service and Law Enforcement protection in serving a County approaching 40,000 in population. Our 8 Patrol Deputies cover nearly 800 miles of unincorporated roadways and handle incidents such as traffic accidents, domestic disputes, serve civil process and the multitude of calls that Law Enforcement encounters to preserve the peace.
The Wapello County Sheriff's Office is also responsible for registering all Sex Offenders required to regisiter within Wapello County. As per Iowa Law all up to date registry information the Wapello County Sheriff's Office receives is timely forwarded to the Department of Public Safety (Sex Offender Registry) in an effort to maintain an accurate State of Iowa Sex Offender Registry Data Base.
Our 911 Communications Center dispatches not only our Patrol Deputies but three Town Police Departments when applicable: Eldon, Eddyville and Blakesburg. The Communication Center also dispatches for 9 volunteer EMS and/or Fire Department's and the Ottumwa Regional Health Center's Ambulance Service (ORMICS).

The Sheriff's Reserve also holds it's fundraiser in late fall each year to help Wapello County families at Christmas time and in other ways throughout the year.
330 W 2nd St


Paul Clement is finished. The Court was skeptical that the whole act should fall if the individual mandate is invalid. But there wasn't any clear indication of how far the Court would go. It seemed like there wasn't much question, except from Justice Sotomayor that the community rating and mandatory issue provisions would fail, that is the government's position. The fact that the liberals were very engaged, particularly Justice Kagan, may show that they are very worried that the mandate is going to be held unconstitutional.

Research Challenge 2022 teams announced
By CHEOS Communications
Announced last week, 15 teams have received funding through the 2022 Practice-Based Research Challenge. This funding award marks an important stage in the research journey, as the successful teams join over 100 practice-based Research Challenge teams who have been funded at Providence Health Care (PHC) since the program began.
The program is led by CHÉOS Research Associate Aggie Black, Director of Health Services & Clinical Research and Knowledge Translation at PHC.
CHÉOS Research Associate Aggie Black
"The newly funded Research Challenge teams will spend the next few months working on their ethics applications, with support from the PHC Ethics Office," she said. "After ethics approval, the teams get to launch the fun and rewarding parts of the projects — collecting data to begin to answer their important research questions."
The Research Challenge is an annual competition open to point-of-care PHC staff. The program offers research teams the opportunity to work with a mentor to develop a research proposal around a research question and learn basic research skills.
CHÉOS Scientists Drs. Ricky Turgeon and Skye Barbic are each mentoring a team, and Dr. Sandra Lauck is mentoring two. Dr. Turgeon will be supporting a team investigating the use of bisphosphonate after hip fracture surgery. Dr. Barbic's team is looking into the experiences of Indigenous youth accessing mental health services. The teams mentored by Dr. Lauck are evaluating a new model for diabetes care and characterizing the perspectives of older adults with heart valve disease.
"Our partnership with CHÉOS is vital to the success of the Research Challenge"
CHÉOS research services are an integral part of the Challenge
As anyone who has been involved with research before knows, launching and completing a study always comes with unexpected challenges and complications. Since the beginning of the Research Challenge, CHÉOS staff have helped teams get their projects off the ground by providing initial consultations.
In some cases, CHÉOS staff also provide research services during the course of Research Challenge studies.
In a recent article (PHC Connect link or PDF) about her experience in the Research Challenge, Vini Bains, a PHC clinical nurse specialist, described the valuable leadership of CHÉOS Research Methodologist Sameer Desai.
"The consultation and services provided for by CHÉOS were amazing, particularly Sameer who was our consultant for the project," said Bains. "We simply could not have done the advanced methodology and statistics, and navigated publications, without Sameer!"
Since 2016, CHÉOS staff have supported over 50 projects as part of the PHC Research Challenge.
"Our partnership with CHÉOS is vital to the success of the Research Challenge," said Black. "We have CHÉOS Scientists on the Advisory Committee, mentoring teams, and co-authoring publications with teams, as well as providing consultations that strengthen teams' proposals for funding. We couldn't run the program without these CHÉOS supports!"
The 2022 Research Challenge teams will conduct their research and analyses throughout 2023, with final reports on their findings expected in January 2024. You can read more about the 2022 Research Challenge cohort here (PHC Connect link or PDF).

"We are really excited about this album. The plan for this album is to record everything live off the floor. The energy and honesty of music in my opinion is captured best with this approach. It really seems to make the whole record making experience and listening experience more organic. The natural feel of musicians playing together, exploring spontaneously a destination unknown with the songs at the helm. The beauty is in the mystery."
The songs on this album were all written in the hauntingly beautiful landscape of Utah's deserts. Since returning from Nashville Jay has spent a large part of the last year engrossed and inspired by these magnificent features. He considers these places 'holy' for lack of a better word. The experience has been transformative in many ways for him. We hope it will be for you.
What we need from you is your support. Every dollar counts in this process and we are so grateful for each and every one of you for your belief in us and the beauty and importance of music to us all.
Want to know what your money will be doing? Lets break it down.
If we can raise an extra $3000 we would love to press vinyl for this album. So, if that happens every pledge of $50 or more will receive a signed copy of the vinyl as well.

BRILLIANT BOFFINS! -the extraordinary, brainy, and often oddball men and women of Malvern
The story of radar and Malvern isn't just about the men though – there were many brilliant women too. One such was Joan Cullen, who invented "WINDOW". (The Americans later dubbed it "chaff").
She got a BSc from Cambridge before they ever awarded them to women, and rowed in the very first Oxford/Cambridge women's boat race. Whilst her colleagues were working on perfecting radar, she put her mind to what might confuse it.
She spent hours at her kitchen table cutting up tin foil in precise measurements – and came up with a radar countermeasure that worked brilliantly and is still used to this day.
Thousands of tin foil strips when dropped from a plane can scatter a radar signal until it is meaningless. It also creates "phantom" signals that can fool a receiver into thinking there are incoming ships that aren't there.- and so it was used on D Day to fool the enemy we were landing at Calais.
She and her husband later went to the USA and worked on The Manhattan Project. He was knighted for his war work – she wasn't – but it's thought her invention made a greater impact than his!
Fellow scientists said she had "the scientific equivalent of gardener's green fingers!" because her work was so practical. She later went on to have three sons (all PhDs!) and a daughter who was born handicapped.
She gave up science and devoted herself to campaigning for the disabled.
A pretty remarkable woman – just one of the boffins in Malvern.

Too many clients who are in consensual non-monogamous (CNM) relationships have to educate their therapists. Too many of them discontinue therapy because their therapist judged them, didn't know enough about CNM to be helpful, or worse, makes actively stigmatizing comments such as "polyamory isn't stable," "women can't do non-monogamy," or "we can't accept you to our therapy group as you're non-monogamous — you wouldn't fit in." These are real quotes from a study about the experiences of CNM clients in therapy a couple of colleagues and I recently had accepted for publication in Journal for Clinical and Consulting Psychology.
We believe our results clearly highlight how we need to start taking the mental health needs of the CNM community seriously. For context, around 4–5% of people in the United States report that they are in CNM relationships, a comparable number to how many people identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. More than one in five adults have also tried CNM at some point, which is not far off from how many people own a cat. We also know that interest and awareness of CNM, especially open relationships and polyamory, is on the rise, despite evidence of blatant stigma directed toward this population.
It is still rare, however, for mental and medical health professionals to receive training on how to effectively support people who are engaging in or exploring consensual non-monogamy. Given what we know about minority stress causing additional mental health burdens, I am concerned about the lack of support this community is receiving.
As co-chair of the American Psychological Association's Division 44 Consensual Non-monogamy Task Force, I'm calling for my colleagues to thoughtfully examine our assumptions around monogamy, pursue and promote education about relationship diversity, and approach this issue with the same level of respect and care that we do with other marginalized communities.
In our study, Drs. John Sakaluk, Amy Moors, and I asked 249 people engaged in CNM about their experiences in therapy, making it the largest study to date on this topic. Significantly, the study was accepted at a top-tier, mainstream clinical journal, signaling that the field of psychology is starting to recognize the importance of addressing relationship diversity.
Monogamy is privileged. It is the unquestioned status quo, prompting many therapists to assume by default that their clients are monogamous, or even, for some, that their clients should be. The publication of this paper means that mainstream psychologists may read about and subsequently treat the needs of the consensual non-monogamy community with an elevated level of respect. The article also calls on mental health researchers and providers to examine our biases and take a nonjudgemental posture toward clients engaged in consensual non-monogamy — just as we would with LGBTQ clients.
We asked participants in structured and open formats what their therapist did (or did not do) that they found to be helpful and unhelpful, allowing us to generate broad and specific practice recommendations and calls to action.
One of the most prominent themes in our data was the importance of educating therapists about CNM. For example, our participants rated therapists as being more helpful when their therapists: (1) educated themselves about CNM issues; (2) held affirming, nonjudgmental attitudes toward CNM; (3) helped them feel good about being CNM; and (4) were open to discussing issues related to a client's relationship structure. By contrast, CNM clients rated therapists as less helpful and were more likely to prematurely discontinue therapy when their therapist: (1) lacked or refused to gather information about CNM, (2) held judgmental, (3) pathologizing, and/or (4) dismissive attitudes toward CNM.
One-fifth of our participants also reported that their therapist lacked the basic knowledge of consensual non-monogamy issues necessary to be an effective therapist, and/or had to be constantly educated about CNM issues.
That is not to say all therapists were unaware of CNM. One-third of therapists in our study were described by CNM clients as quite knowledgeable of CNM communities and resources. We also asked in an open format what our participants' therapists did that they found particularly unhelpful. One in five of those responding mentioned their therapist lacking or refusing to gather info about CNM.
It is important to note that our results may be inflated positively as nearly half of our participants reported intentionally seeking a therapist who was affirming toward CNM. Results were generally worse among those who did not search for a CNM-affirming therapist.
These results in conjunction with the size and stigma directed toward the CNM population has led me to conclude that educating therapists needs to be addressed at the highest levels of the mental health profession. It is time to include CNM in therapist training and continuing education programs, and I am calling on my colleagues to join me in advocating for this change.
Being able to find a therapist who is educated and affirming of CNM is also a critical issue. CNM therapy clients who screened for a CNM-affirming therapist reported better treatment outcomes. They experienced more "exemplary" and fewer "inappropriate" therapy practices by their therapists, and they rated their therapists as being more helpful than those who did not search for a CNM-affirming therapist.
I am also requesting my colleagues advocate for CNM to be included as a search term on therapist locator websites (such as Psychology Today and APA Psychologist Locator) to help remove barriers to the CNM community accessing culturally competent care.
This is a step that I am pleased to announce that APA Psychologist Locator has agreed to take. We are currently in dialog with them about adding 'Consensual Non-monogamy' and 'Kink/Diverse Sexualities' as searchable categories, with the changes (hopefully) set to go live in November/December 2018. We hope Psychology Today and other therapist locators will follow suit.
Over half of participants indicated their therapists held judgmental or pathologizing beliefs towards consensual non-monogamy. The most common way this judgement appeared to manifest was in attributing clients' problems to CNM.
For example, when a monogamous couple is having problems we typically don't assume it's because they're monogamous. We also don't assume a monogamous client is depressed or anxious because they are "attempting monogamy." Without adequate education and exposure, even well-meaning therapists may engage in these and other types of biased, unhelpful practices.
It is important to note that there are multiple peer-reviewed studies that have compared data on monogamous and CNM relationships with regard to participants' relationship quality and personal well-being. Their results consistently suggest CNM is a viable alternative to monogamy, at least among those who self-select into CNM.
Compared to monogamous relationships, CNM relationships appear to exhibit approximately equal levels of commitment, longevity, satisfaction, passion, and love. The research also indicates that CNM relationships enjoy advantages of greater levels of trust and lower jealousy.
The collective scholarship demonstrates that relationship structure (e.g., monogamy or CNM) is not an effective predictor of psychological well-being (e.g., depression, happiness) or relationship well-being (e.g., satisfaction, commitment, longevity). There is also substantial overlap in the perceived benefits of monogamy and consensual non-monogamy.
In other words, therapists' comments about CNM relationships not lasting or causing problems for clients have more to do with therapists' pre-existing biases than they do with CNM. These biased attitudes are informed by our mononormative culture, not empirical data.
Another way stigma shows up in therapy is assuming clients are monogamous. This was one of the most common mistakes made by therapists with over one-third of our sample indicating that this happened to them. The hopeful news is that this practice is easily preventable — we just have to ask. I wrote a post for the APA Division 44 newsletter highlighting reasons therapists should ask about relationship style on intake demographic forms.
This step has been embraced by an increasing number of mental and medical health centers, including all ten University of California counseling centers.
Given the size of the CNM population, the pervasive stigma they experience, and the lack of therapist training, I believe the mental health field has an ethical imperative to improve how we address the needs of the CNM population. Some professional organizations are beginning to respond to the growing awareness of relationship diversity. In January 2018, the Executive Committee of APA Division 44 unanimously approved a proposal for the first task force within the APA dedicated to promoting awareness and inclusivity about consensual non-monogamy and diverse expressions of intimate relationships.
Dr. Amy Moors and I are serving as co-chairs of the APA Division 44 Consensual Non-monogamy Task Force and are currently recruiting volunteers to lead or contribute to projects addressing a range of issues such as including CNM as a protected legal status, educating therapists, making it easier to find CNM-affirming therapists, and creating a fact sheet about CNM.
We believe this task force is a significant sign of how far the non-monogamy movement has come and suggests there is hope that the world will become safer for people in CNM relationships.
While I strongly advocate for the changes to our field I've suggested in this post, I also believe we need additional studies regarding their efficacy. It is important to be sure that these measures actually foster the inclusivity for CNM clients that is intend.
One of our initiatives is to advocate for the eventual creation of practice guidelines, similar to those that were created by the American Psychological Association for working with lesbian, gay, and bisexual therapy clients as well as transgender and gender nonconforming therapy clients.
In an effort to progress toward practice guidelines, I developed empirically-informed benchmarks that can be used to assess practices at the institutional and individual levels as well as sample language for assessing relationship style on demographic forms. Dr. Michelle Vaughan also led the charge in creating informational brochures that people engaged in CNM can provide to their medical and mental health provider(s).
You can access these resources when you join the APA Division 44 Consensual Non-monogamy mailing list or sign our petition to support relationship diversity in mental health, medical health, and the legal profession.
These resources and this post can be shared freely with your network as well as your current medical and mental health providers.
In addition to signing our petition and/or joining our mailing list, we would like to invite you to follow us on Facebook and Twitter, where we will be posting updates. I will also be making updates on my Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin accounts.
Educating therapists, removing barriers to accessing treatment, asking about relationship status on demographic forms, setting benchmarks, and signing petitions will not eliminate the judgment and discrimination experienced by the CNM community — but we believe these are all important steps forward. With education and exposure we can challenge the mononormative assumptions promoting a one-size-fits all model of relating — in the same way we challenge assumptions about sexual orientation and gender diversity.
Just as monogamy is not right for everyone, neither is consensual non-monogamy. It's not about what's right for all, but what's right sized for the individual.

Your Coverage Is Despicable, Mercury News
I hope you will look at this for what it is: the exploitation of a horrible tragedy to spew hatred—something that doesn't belong in our world.
Frank Pine
editor@bayareanewsgroup.com
Dear Mr. Pine,
As a proud Scientologist, I must say that to use the horrible tragedy of a suicide of a young boy as an opportunity to malign an entire religion is despicable. Especially in this day and age.
There are nearly 50,000 suicides annually in the United States. I'm sure among those tragic events, we'd find a multitude of religions and ethnicities. No one would fathom using the suicide of a young boy to malign the Islamic religion. Nor would a news outlet carry such a story maligning Judaism because a young boy born into Judaism committed suicide, or Catholicism, Buddhism or any religion. Of course not. To do so would be unconscionable, not to mention an exercise in hate and bigotry.
But that's exactly what was done when Martha Ross ran with this story. A narrative is forwarded featuring an anti-Scientology hater who quotes an anonymous source to spew bigotry about my church, and apparently does so with impunity. How could this be?
An anti-Scientology blogger is not a source for anything regarding Scientology. By definition, his agenda is "hate" toward my religion. One would not use a hater of the Jewish faith as a reliable source for Judaism.
As an Arab American, I've spent much of my life fighting hurtful stereotypes that depicted Muslims and Arabs as terrorists or megalomaniacs. For decades the only Arabs seen on the news or in Hollywood films and TV shows were "hook-nosed" evildoers. One result of this hateful narrative was my father spent our childhood telling people we were Greek. Only in recent years have there been concerted efforts to correct this hateful narrative.
Unfortunately, as a Scientologist, I see the same pattern repeating itself. I've been a proud Scientologist for over a quarter of a century. Scientology has been a shining light in my life that has helped my family and friends in profound ways. Now to read such unchecked bigotry toward Scientology is sad. And it doesn't help the family of this boy deal with this profound tragedy.

Visible from all along the Liffey, this Dublin landmark has been a bastion of law for over 200 years. Designed by Thomas Colley then, after his death, James Gandon, and built from 1796-1802, the building boasts an imposing 132m facade with an entrance door leading to the great Round Hall and the Four Courts. Its name comes from Ireland's original four court justice system which today comprises the Supreme and High Courts. Like many of Dublin's finest buildings, the structure was almost completely destroyed - and 800 years of priceless public records lost forever - during the 1922 Irish Civil War. Today you can still see bulletholes in its facade as a reminder of this tumultuous event. The rebuilt structure re-opened a decade later, and its dome appeared on Ireland's £20 note before the introduction of the Euro currency.

My sister had her 21st birthday party in the weekends at D'resort Rainforest Premier Suite (omg the suite was huge), so I took the chance to doll myself (and my sister) up in my new makeup from ETUDE HOUSE! Here are some of the new products that I used that day, apart from my all-time favourite ETUDE HOUSE Precious Mineral Any Cushion..
I only used ETUDE HOUSE make up on my face that day, and I created a new look! For my eye make up, I had no eyelash extensions on and I did not use my eyeliners at all, just liquid eye shadow and two coats of mascara. I also finished the whole look with bright red lips! Anyway, today's focus will be on ETUDE HOUSE Lash Perm Curl-Fix Mascara, which is my number 1 favourite at the moment! I am someone with short and straight eyelashes, and mascaras don't really work for me. I kind of gave up on mascaras and have been doing eyelash extensions for the past 1 year. As such, I had zero expectations for this mascara initially. I even told my blog manager that I don't think I can blog about this mascara because my lashes are too short to be curled and too short to be visible in the photo, but she said, "Try first," and so I did. Guess what, this has got to be the best mascara I've ever tried! ETUDE HOUSE Lash Perm Curl-Fix Mascara formula features the lauded ETUDE Curl 24HR Technology TM, which allows our lashes to be kept curled for up to 24 hours! It is super resistant to water, sweat and sebum. Also, the new formula is really lightweight, hence it will not weigh our lashes down. It is able to coat my lashes in thinly and evenly without much clumping. ETUDE HOUSE Lash Perm Curl-Fix Mascara is the World's First Dual Jelly Brush mascara. The special jelly material has been specially designed for Asian eyes, and the key highlights of the dual jelly brush are: clean finish, thorough application and irritant-free materials. The 18mm brush is sized perfectly, and it has a special arch to pick up the right amount of mascara formula for application. The 0.2mm ultra fine bristles were carefully positioned to ensure thorough application, such that ALL lashes will be coated evenly to achieve optimal curling and volumising. Lastly, ths mascara brush is made of special soft jelly material which does not irritate our eye area which is pretty senstive, and is even gentle enough for application of the formula on the waterline of your eyes.
Here is my bare eye without any make up. My lashes are less than half a centimeter FYI.
Here are my lashes after curling with an eyelash curler and two coats of ETUDE HOUSE Lash Perm Curl-Fix Mascara! I can't believe my eyes when I saw that my lashes are VISIBLE from a short distance away! This was taken by my phone's front camera, this is the first time my eyelashes (without eyelash extensions) can be captured by my phone's front camera! AMAZING!!!
