ADHD de cada dia

Fui motivado a escrever esse texto por 3 motivos:

É algo que me incomoda no momento.

Um post sobre a importância que deve ser dada à depressão.

E tweets:

Gostaria de começar esse texto relatando que a pior sensação do mundo é a raiva misturada à decepção de perder uma briga contra você mesmo!

Doenças mentais, mesmo hoje, ainda precisam ser aceitadas e entendidas pelas pessoas. Muitos mitos, preconceitos e descrenças acontecem em torno desse problema real, fazendo com que quem sofre se esconda ou não aceite o diagnóstico, usando termos como "é só uma fase" de muleta para seguir a vida.

Eu tenho ADHD-PI. E, sim, diagnosticado, precisando de medicação e tudo mais! Não, não é fase e não falo isso porque é "famoso" ter alguma doença hoje em dia! E, não, não é uma simples desculpa!

Quem assiste "The Big Bang Theory" não entende o quão sofrível é ter OCD, ser incapaz de falar com outra pessoa ou déficit de atenção. Não é essa coisa bonita e engraçada que é representada na série. Especialmente porque, em muitos casos, o problema não vem sozinho e, ao longo do tempo, acaba ganhando novas complicações.

Para ser mais "realista", vou reportar o que sei/vivi e tentar colocar no cenário de tecnologia (o que vivo diariamente):

ADHD é uma doença caracterizada por inatenção e impulsividade. Desde 2000 é caracterizada em 3 três tipos, sendo eles: Predominante inatenção (ADHD-PI), predominante hiperatividade e, a pior, sem predominância.

Ela é, geralmente, diagnosticada ainda na infância, tanto que o site da NHS (sistema público de saúde britânico) representa como uma doença infantil, colocando apenas uma nota de como adultos podem sobreviver com a doença. Com isso, o preconceito de que crianças são naturalmente ativas e desatentas faz com que pessoas não sejam diagnosticadas corretamente, aumenta a negação e gera adultos que sofrem diariamente sem ter uma ideia real da causa.

Nas crises, o dia-a-dia de quem sofre ou convive com essa doença não é fácil:

Roupas sujas se acumulam, não por preguiça ou desleixo, mas pelo simples fato de lavá-las é uma atividade repetitiva. Inclusive, há ocasiões onde a pessoa abre a máquina de lavar, coloca metade das roupas e esquece de terminar o que estava fazendo.

Prato com comida, deixado de lado para esfriar.

Ferro de passar roupa esquecido ligado, assim como fogão, forno, etc.

Bifes queimados disparando alarme de incêndio com sua fumaça.

Portas de casa/apartamento/carro/empresa destrancadas depois que a pessoa sai.

Chaves largadas na porta ou dentro do carro.

Mochilas, carteira e blusas largadas dentro de ônibus/trem/restaurante.

Medicamentos abertos e não consulmidos.

Dificuldade em lembrar nomes e datas em certos momentos.

Dificuldade em manter uma conversa superficial.

Ter de ver/ler várias vezes um livro, filme ou ouvir um podcast para poder absorver um conteúdo.

Recomenda-se que uma pessoa com ADHD muito forte, em momentos de crise, não fique sozinha e procure alguém que possa ajudá-la a lembrar da medicação e protegê-la de coisas rotineiras, como fazer um almoço ou janta e crie rotinas para poder aprender algo ou realizar alguma tarefa.

E não é só a vida pessoal que é atrapalhada, a vida profissional é altamente impactada, em momentos de crise e até em momentos "normais". A pessoa passa a ser vista como desleixada por causa dos grandes momentos de procrastinação, atividades inacabas, reuniões perdidas e bugs simples deixados no código.

No texto linkado em um dos tweets que coloquei no começo, é mensionado a síndrome do impostor, um pensamento que é constante na vida dos que lutam contra o ADHD, pelo simples fato de que não importa quão competente a pessoa seja, ela vai atrasar entregas, deixar pequenos erros passarem despercebidos e ser incapaz de finalizar projetos, especialmente projetos pessoais onde a gerência é 100% individual.

Um exemplo: Na tentativa de melhorar uma funcionalidade de um app onde trabalho, decidi estudar e implementar um sistema básico de machine learning para encadear e balancear operações em imagens usando OpenGL, uma ideia excitante e complicada. Mas, o projeto acabou não sendo finalizado ainda, porque, após ter 98% do algoritmo pronto e testado, restou apenas a criação de um processo de escolhas de quadriláteros. Apesar disso ser uma das partes mais simples do sistema, é uma tarefa repetitiva e, portanto, algo ABSURDAMENTE difícil, para mim, finalizar!

E é aí que outros problemas surgem, como depressão e ansiedade.

Talvez você já tenha visto uma pessoa assim, aquela que tem o carma do ⌘+Tab (ou Alt+Tab para os não Mac). Sempre trocando de aplicativos sem parar em nenhum, acessando uma página que ele acabou de sair e constantemente day dreaming e (um parâmetro bem difícil de identificar na área de tecnologia) constantemente tomando café ou algo com cafeina, já que esse componente químico ajuda a balancear os hormônios e dar um pouco mais de equilíbrio.

O ambiente coorporativo espera que a pessoa seja sociável, mesmo que isso seja absurdamente difícil para ela. Temos reuniões constantes, escritórios compartilhados, mesa de pimbolim e diversos outros elementos que dificultam a concentração. Um artigo no site Gamasutra fala sobre como um programador é afetado por interrupções e, acredite, isso é o maior problema que temos de enfrentar!

Agora volto à frase que coloquei no começo do texto, é horrível ter de, diariamente, lutar contra você mesmo e, muitas vezes, perder! Não é algo engraçado ou que se fale alegremente para os amigos para justificar uma ação banal! E é algo que as empresas e as pessoas não estão prontas para entender e aceitar que, assim como cadeiras de rodas, é algo que afeta a pessoa, a limita e precisa ser considerado no dia-a-dia.

Afinal, ao acordar, sabemos que teremos de enfrentar a ADHD de cada dia.

The flowers are beautiful. We are very happy and are planning to order more.
The textures are so soft and so real.
Wow - they look & feel so real!
I bought these for my Groom & Groomsmen to create boutonnieres, and the quality is just amazing! You will not be disappointed!!
I made 3 bouquets with the calla lilies I bought and they went over great. They didn't know what to think when they say how real they felt and looked.
I was in need of silk calla lilies for my daughters wedding. Came across these mini white calla lilies. Very pleased with the look and texture. They are beautiful and feel vey close to real flowers. I will be ordering more.
Absolutely loved them. Exactly like the ones I had on my wedding cake. Thank you!
Perfect For The Purpose I Bought Them For.
I have purchased these several times to use in the brides keepsake throw away bouquet. The bride also uses the bouquet for her bridal protraits. Some of them have been so pleased they ended up using them as the bridal bouquet. I did a silk wedding with the Real Touch Callas with exception of the brides bouquet & the grooms boutonniere. In the pictures you can't distinguish the real from the silk.
They do look real, and that's the best review I can give. The firm but flexible stems help with perfect placement.

'First Position' – Pleasant. Happy. Shiny.
Rebecca Houseknecht in FIRST POSITION, directed by Bess Kargman.
Photo Credit: Bess Kargman
A Sundance Selects Release
First Position is a fitting title for a documentary about ballet, especially one that "centers" around the different "stages" of a dancer's career. Life is a series of new beginnings and every time you think you've made it in a particular endeavor, something new lurks around the corner and next thing you know, you find yourself at square one—or as it is with ballet, in first position, how every class begins at barre—unless your teacher starts pliés in second. Or maybe a parallel first…but I digress. The point is, most of the time, you find yourself in first, ready to begin each class anew. Whether you're an aspiring dancer in training or a professional, first position anchors you to the experience of starting over. It's some kind of metaphor for life or something like that.
Anyway, Bess Kargman's film follows five young dancers of varying ages and backgrounds, pursuing the dream of becoming professional ballet dancers, and competing in the illustrious Youth America Grand Prix. It's a colorful cast of characters with a pretty blonde princess in pink, a black girl fighting racial stereotypes, a young Latin man living far away from his family to pursue a better life, a pair of Asian-American kids with a heavily invested mother, and the son of a Navy officer currently living and training in Europe. Anyone who follows ballet has seen most of these people before and can probably even name professional dancers who have preceded them under similar circumstances. However, it would be a gross generalization to simply file these kids into such categories. For example, the extraordinary Michaela DePrince is a war orphan from Sierra Leone who has witnessed far more horror than any child ever should, including the death of her parents at the hands of rebels. It's sort of an odd conundrum because ballet so frequently calls for setting aside individuality—whether it be developing uniformity in the corps de ballet, a choreographer asking dancers to embody his/her vision, or even teachers asking for technique to be executed in a certain way—that these personal stories are of utmost importance. I will always marvel at them, as familiar as they may (or may not!) be, and luckily First Position is laden with inspiring ones.
In addition to typical, but likable characters (Jules, the little brother of Miko Fogarty is a great comic relief), there is the assortment of stock topics like eating disorders, injuries, pressure to succeed, etc., thus rendering the film as one that doesn't really present anything new, though it does show a reality that is at least truthful. The problem with trying to create a complete picture of ballet at this level is that many things are inevitably skimmed over, and while you hear the dancers' perspectives on these topics there isn't time for a great deal of elaboration. As a slice of life the film does a fantastic job and as a balletomane it's obviously entertaining to me. However, I find myself struggling with trying to describe why the film matters in the grand scheme of things because it's neither a historical piece nor the subjective type, so the message is rather murky. I'm all for watching these kids tell their unique stories and for getting a glimpse at their incredible gifts—it's obvious the director wanted to see the physicality of dance in a way that likens it to sport, but I would've liked to have seen something to balance it out by showing why dance is not a sport. Approaches to training aside, consider how sports psychology is seen as a legitimate field of study, when I'd venture to say there's not nearly as much in terms of performance arts psychology. It just seemed like there were opportunities to briefly illuminate on such matters like that or even genetic factors, like how the mere chance at a ballet career can be decided so quickly upon physique was something only casually mentioned, when it could have provided a broader scope as to how rare these kids are. And let's not talk about how the film glazed over Carlos Acosta! Joan Sebastian Zamora idolizes him and equates his desire to be the first Colombian dancer to join the Royal Ballet to Acosta being the first black dancer to have done it, but Acosta has accomplished so much more and is a MEGA-STAR (yes, read in all caps) in our world.
Without giving too much away, I'd like to mention some of my favorite parts of the film. There was a moment where Michaela shared a bit of wisdom far beyond her years, in which she said that what they put their bodies through is "not normal." She's obviously mature for her age to recognize that much, and it almost makes me wish she didn't have to grow up so fast the way dancers do because they have to make career decisions in adolescence…but it makes me a big fan of hers nonetheless (hell, I'm twice her age and still lacking a sense of purpose!). Clearly, she has a good understanding of what she's gotten herself into. Also, the insanely talented Aran Bell (whose teacher is Denys Ganio, formerly of the Paris Opera Ballet and father of Mathieu Ganio, now a principal dancer with POB—is old school and absolutely hysterical) has a special friendship with a little Israeli dancer named Gaya Bommer. In the film I believe they're both eleven, so it's not like they're dating, but it's kind of like how Balanchine once said something to the effect of just having a man and a woman on stage automatically creates drama. Aran and Gaya are carefree, goofy, fun-loving kids that are as irresistibly cute as baby bunnies. Looks like a childhood doesn't have to be completely sacrificed for the sake of the art.
Gaya Bommer and Aran Bell in FIRST POSITION, directed by Bess Kargman.
Well, I won't go into further details because I don't want to spoil the film for those of you still waiting to see it, but I will say that despite some obstacles along the way, like a Soviet Swan Lake it's all about the happy ending here, which speaks volumes about the level of talent at the YAGP. However, such a result also shrouds some of the more grim possibilities and the fates of the forgotten. Still, as fluffy as First Position is, sometimes it's just plain nice to see plenty of good fortune to go around. It's not a film that's going to shatter the image of ballet or smash through misconceptions, but it's a film that will leave you with a smile on your face, which is always worth more than the price of admission.
For Seattle area-readers, First Position will open Friday, May 25, 2012, at the Seven Gables Theatre in the University District. For everyone else, be sure to 'like' First Position on Facebook for theatre listings and updates on screenings.

'Only When I Dance' – yet another DVD review
From one end of the Earth to another, my next DVD of choice was Only When I Dance, a documentary featuring two young dancers from Brazil, Irlan Santos da Silva and Isabela Coracy, pursuing the dream of becoming professional ballet dancers. The film, directed by Beadie Finzi markets itself as an inspiring coming-of-age story where the two dancers overcome adverse conditions like growing up in the violent favelas of Rio de Janeiro and for Isabela in particular, racial challenges as a black ballerina. The blurb on the back of the DVD even goes as far to say that this is a feel-good documentary…but I must've missed something because while the future is quite rosy for Irlan, it remains uncertain for Isabela, who I felt got slightly less attention in the film. Given, Irlan is that rare gem of a dancer you know will go on to great things and has far more illustrious achievements during the filming period but I don't feel that makes Isabela's career path in dance less important or less interesting. Quite frankly, it seems a little counterproductive to make this type of documentary but then tip the scales in favor of the star dancer and then to call it "feel-good" undermines the difficulties Isabela faced. I feel for her—but I'm not sure I liked the way she was used in the film. Her presence in the documentary was warranted because she had an equally interesting story to Irlan's and not because she was a black girl who happened to dance at the same studio as him, a character to flesh out Irlan's story.
Maybe I'm in a mood or something because that sounded awfully scathing coming from me, but I can't help but feel an injustice when I watched Isabela's dream to dance in a major ballet company crumble and then read on the back cover that this is supposed to be a "feel-good" documentary! A great stink is made about her weight throughout, and it's clearly something that distresses her greatly. Talking about dieting brought her to tears and after a visible weight loss by the Youth America Grand Prix, her teacher again told her that Isabela's weight was an issue for the judging panel (Isabela was not selected to move on to the finals of the YAGP). A visit to the doctor even revealed a skin condition that developed out of emotional stress. She is perhaps unrefined, which is hardly uncommon for someone her age but I saw a lovely girl and a beautiful dancer. Her family took out loans to be able to afford her trip to New York and it was just heartbreaking to see what is in my opinion a ridiculous "issue" become the deciding factor in Isabela's career. Where was the discussion on her technique? Her teacher Mariza admires her artistry, and while I felt like she lacked some spark in the YAGP, the poor thing was probably starved and exhausted! It was hard to watch, and knowing that her family could still be in debt over it is difficult to know.
Irlan is the golden boy, which you find out in mere seconds just by his genetic gifts and watching him move. Somewhat reserved, but with a coy charm, he has quite the presence for such a young man. Like Isabela, they both come from impoverished conditions but with loving homes and seeing Irlan's father smile when he talks about how watching his son dance changed the way he thought of ballet warms the heart. Irlan achieves the pinnacle of success for a dancer of his age by winning an apprenticeship at the highly prestigious Prix de Lausanne and we have our uplifting moment. What I noticed throughout though was his austerity—he exhibits a lot of maturity for his age, having the desire to leave his neighborhood and bring his parents with him for a better life, which is quite the onus for a teenager! He performed his contemporary variation, from John Neumeier's Nijinsky with such conviction that you'd think he was old enough to have seen the Nijinsky himself. It's a happy ending this time as Irlan takes a scholarship at American Ballet Theater, which was only two or three years ago so I expect as he develops his voice as an artist and strengthens his technique even more, we will be hearing more about him soon enough!
Despite Irlan's success, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness as a response to the film as a whole. Rather than uplifted, the film procured strong reminders of how much ballet asks of these kids and others around the world. They have to make life altering career choices at that turbulent age we call "adolescence," and I say this as someone who went to college, got a degree, and a few years out is only beginning to get a sense of my place in life—that's crazy! I can't even imagine how difficult it must be, and how in spite of the desire to dance, the reality is that for some aspirers, it never happens. Dealing with not getting your dream job is a much different beast at seventeen or eighteen years old as opposed to anything over the age of twenty-two! While it's clear Irlan is just one of those people that has always had the maturity to realize his dreams, I find myself endlessly impressed with his attitude. It's not just the career choice itself, but moving away from his parents, his hometown, and practically everything he knew for a life in a foreign country is the epitome of courage. Again…ballet asks so much of kids.
I forget who it was, but some journalist last year complained about American companies "importing" foreign dancers in favor of developing home-grown talent and you know what? Chauvinism is outdated. Ballet audiences give little thought to a dancer's country of origin because we just want to see great dancing and it's even been said that sometimes adversity produces greater artists because they have a sense of desperation others who may begin ballet as an extracurricular activity don't. When I think about how a kid like Irlan chooses to show our country his talents, I feel honored and far from wishing he was an American! Whether foreign dancers are getting contracts or guesting with American companies, I feel like offering the opportunities is the least that can be done in this rapidly globalizing world which seems to exceed its own levels of globalization every second (and there are many damn good American dancers anyway!). While there isn't a great amount of dancing in this DVD, I recommend it not for the "uplifting" story but to offer some perspective on what dance really means to some people.

Home All News Politics Donald Trump looking to turn Russian probe against Democrats
Donald Trump looking to turn Russian probe against Democrats
Shanka Cheryl
As a business man, Donald Trump was able to turn the tables on his critics by playing the victim, and it looks like he's going the same route with the Russian probe.
President Donald Trump is trying to turn the Russia investigation into a rallying cry, and it appears to be working for his base.
Far from avoiding talk of the accelerating probe into his campaign's ties to Moscow, Trump is instead using it to stoke the outrage felt by his most loyal supporters.
The investigation, he argues, is an outgrowth of the bias and resentment media elites and Democrats hold against his white, working-class base. He casts the investigation as a nefarious attempt to undo the results of the election and seize power from the voters who have been marginalized.
"They can't beat us at the voting booths so they are trying to cheat you out of the future and the future that you want," Trump said during a Thursday night rally in Huntington, West Virginia. "They are trying to cheat you out of the leadership you want with a fake story that is demeaning to all of us and most importantly, demeaning to our country and demeaning to our Constitution."
The message falls in line with Trump's long-standing appeal to the voters he has called the "forgotten men and women of our country" who lack a voice in government. Trump portrays himself as the voice of the aggrieved who understands their troubles.
But this heavy reliance on his loyal base, which comprise far short of an electoral majority, carries risks. Long term, it's unclear how his message will appeal to mainstream Republicans, some of whom are conducting investigations into his Russia ties in Congress and are unlikely to see special counsel Robert Mueller, the by-the-book former FBI director and decorated Vietnam War veteran, as the face of a witch hunt.
The message also obscures the issue his base cares most deeply about: the economy.
For now, Trump appears to be on solid ground on that front. He has presided over a strong economy during his first six months in office. He repeatedly noted this week that the stock market had risen to new heights. He pointed Friday to the latest job report, which showed more than 200,000 new jobs in July and an unemployment rate of 4.3 percent, matching a 16-year low.
But a slip in the nation's economic fortunes before the 2020 election, especially in states key to Trump's victory like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, could make it harder for Trump to hold onto his base.
In some respects, Trump is taking a page from his favorite scapegoats: Bill and Hillary Clinton. During the late 1990s, Bill Clinton assailed House Republicans and independent counsel Ken Starr as fierce partisans for pushing investigations into his affair with a White House intern and his role in an Arkansas land deal. Hillary Clinton famously called it a "vast right-wing conspiracy."
Two decades later, when Republicans pursued a lengthy investigation into her handling of the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, she said it was a partisan attempt to hurt her 2016 campaign.
This time, Trump has taken the partisan argument to a new degree, parlaying it with his longstanding indictment of the Washington "swamp" of insiders whom he says hurt many Americans.
"He's not just doing the partisan playbook, but he's making it about the system in some ways going after him and going after what the voters wanted," said presidential historian Julian Zelizer, a professor at Princeton University.
Zelizer said the reliance on base politics carries risks for Trump, who has already sustained cracks in his support, embodied by strained relations with Republican leadership, Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake's book criticizing Trump's leadership, and three GOP senators' unwillingness to go along on repealing the Affordable Care Act.
"That could be a dangerous path. Just the base can't protect him," Zelizer said.
Most Americans don't seem to share Trump's views on the investigation. Nearly 60 percent of Americans say they don't think Trump is taking the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election seriously enough and roughly the same percentage think he's tried to derail the probe, according to a Quinnipiac poll published this week.
Still, in West Virginia, the president called the Russia story "a total fabrication" and an excuse promulgated by Democrats for their 2016 defeat.

Windows 10 could get biggest update ever: Here is what to expect
By Mark Anthony Ramirez published 29 May 21
Windows 10 overhaul is about to drop
Microsoft announced at the recent Build developer conference that major updates are coming to Windows 10.
These could mark the most significant changes ever to the now-immortal OS, which Microsoft says will be the last version of its operating system as it switches to a stream of updates much like Apple has done over the years with macOS. This strategy will save users a great deal of money as they won't have to shell out oodles of cash every few years for a new OS.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella made several statements that confirmed many rumors and leaks floating around regarding what's coming to Windows. Nadella shared what may be next and what changes the company was working to improve the long-running OS.

A report from Windows Central quoted Nadella, "Soon we will share one of the most significant updates to Windows of the past decade to unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and creators. I've been self-hosting it over the past several months, and I'm incredibly excited about the next generation of Windows.
He continued, "Our promise to you is this: We will create more opportunities for every Windows developer today and welcome every creator looking for the most innovative, new, open platform to build and distribute and monetize applications. We look forward to sharing more very soon."
The Microsoft CEO's overture to developers ties into the company's recent plans of opening up to more third-party input. We recently reported that Microsoft announced its new partnership with Qualcomm and the new Snapdragon kit to help developers create native apps for ARM-based devices using Windows. Microsoft also makes it easier for developers to register and get their apps on the Microsoft Store, which is rumored to be massively overhauled in the next Windows iteration.
Microsoft is also offering incentives to developers by cutting the commission they take on store purchases to 12% and offering the ability to opt-out of the Microsoft purchasing system. Microsoft has been focused on making its Store more inviting and functional.
We expect many changes to the OS visually and the removal of outdated portions of Windows 10 in the coming weeks and months.

An audit of the finances of a community transport scheme has discovered little separation between commercial and 'not for profit' operations.
Fenland Association for Community Transport (FACT) and allied CTOs ESACT and HACT was subject to a lengthy legal investigation late last year, which concluded that the organisations may have operated unlawfully in several respects. The investigation led to the CTOs rapidly setting up trading arms running with O licences.
But now, the county council auditor has concluded that the new commercial operations were cross-subsidised with loans from the CT. The five-page report says that no interest is being paid on the loans and no formal loan arrangement was made, crossing the line with HMRC and Charity Commission rules. Among loans made was one for £152,000 to Fenland ACT Trading Ltd, the commercial company to which tendered business was transferred.
The report also says that the costs of shared staff and vehicles are not accounted for, making tax liability uncertain, and the commercial operation may have been liable for business rates. It says that, although the trading arm charged commercial hire rates, there was no evidence that vehicles from the CTO fleet had been charged for.
There was no clarity over ownership and shareholding in the commercial companies, so it was not clear that the CTOs are the major shareholders. Accounts filed by one of the trading companies were incomplete, not showing a loan or any operating income.
Confirming that he has now met new management at the organisations and was hopeful of progress, Dave Humphrey of the Cambridgeshire Bus, Coach and Taxi Association said: "It's been seven months since PKF's findings were made public, yet, despite the promise of change, little has altered out on the street.
Since the independent report last summer into FACT, most of the board members including Jo Philpott have left. The county council's Chief Executive, Gillian Beasley, says that calculations are still being made to decide how much state aid may have to be repaid to the council.


All internationally educated midwives (IEMs) who wish to register to practice midwifery in BC must first complete the Internationally Educated Midwives Bridging Program (IEMBP) at University of British Columbia (UBC) before seeking registration with CMBC.
The IEMBP supports midwives who have been educated outside of Canada in making the transition to working in the Canadian health care system and in the BC midwifery model of practice. The program has an application process, distance-accessible and in-person intensive gap training and orientation to practice in BC, and a short clinical internship. There are midwifery education and clinical experience requirements that must be met in order to be eligible to participate, and English language fluency requirements and supports to meet those requirements.
IEMBP graduates must also write and pass the Canadian Midwifery Registration Examination (CMRE) and the BC Jurisprudence Examination before being eligible for midwifery registration in BC. Information on how IEMBP graduates can seek midwife registration with CMBC can be found here.
While most of the IEMs will be eligible for General registration after completion of IEMBP, there may be a few of them who still do not meet the requirements for General registration and are eligible for Conditional registration only.
An applicant who is identified as a candidate for Conditional registration, is required to find an experienced General Registrant who is willing to act as a principal supervisor throughout the supervision plan to address identified gaps in clinical experience or competency. The Registration Committee reviews and must approve all supervision plans before a certificate of Conditional registration is granted.
A Conditional Registrant may only provide midwifery care within the conditions and limitations of an approved supervision plan. While a Conditional Registrant has up to one year to fulfil the requirements outlined in an approved supervision plan, these plans range in length from two months to a year. Once completed, a panel of the Registration Committee reviews supervision reporting and the request for change in registration status from Conditional to General registration.

SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. Begins Trading on NYSE as an Independent Public Company, Symbol "SMHI"
Seacor Holdings Press Release Jun 02 2017
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEACOR Holdings Inc. (NYSE:CKH) ("SEACOR") and SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. ("SEACOR Marine") today announced the successful completion of the spin-off of SEACOR Marine, finalizing the transition to SEACOR Marine's status as an independent public company.
Until this point a subsidiary of SEACOR, SEACOR Marine attained full independent status yesterday, June 1, 2017 at 11:59 p.m., New York City time. SEACOR Marine begins "regular-way" trading on NYSE today under the symbol "SMHI".
No action or payment is required by SEACOR stockholders to receive the shares of SEACOR Marine common stock. Stockholders who held SEACOR common stock on May 22, 2017, the record date for the spin-off, and who did not subsequently trade the entitlement to their SEACOR Marine shares, will receive a book-entry account statement reflecting their ownership of SEACOR Marine common stock or their brokerage account will be credited with the SEACOR Marine shares. Under the terms of the distribution agreement between SEACOR and SEACOR Marine, SEACOR distributed to holders of its common stock approximately 1.005 shares of SEACOR Marine common stock for each share of SEACOR common stock outstanding at the time of the spin-off (the "Final Distribution Ratio"). The Final Distribution Ratio is based on 17,576,227 shares of SEACOR common stock outstanding as of the time of the spin-off. As previously reported, the Final Distribution was calculated as follows: for every share of SEACOR common stock held, SEACOR distributed to holders of its common stock one share of SEACOR Marine common stock multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which was 17,671,356 and the denominator of which was the number of shares of SEACOR common stock outstanding at the time of the spin-off. SEACOR common stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares they would otherwise have been entitled to receive in the distribution.
The SEACOR Marine spin-off has been structured to qualify as a tax-free dividend to SEACOR stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. SEACOR stockholders are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the SEACOR Marine spin-off.
SEACOR is a diversified holding company with interests in domestic and international transportation and logistics, alcohol manufacturing and merchandising, and risk management consultancy.

One of the dish that tinkled my taste buds was Kair Sangar Ki Sabzi..
To those who find this dish unusual, Kair are dried desert berries and sangar is dried desert beans. This sabzi is made in mustard oil with generous amount of spices and can be stored for next few days easily. You may find the kair and sangar at grocery stores easily.
Mix the total quantity of kair and sangar together.
Soak the kair and sangar overnight in buttermilk (or plain water would also work). In the morning, take them out of curd and wash thoroughly. Boil the soaked kair and sangar in a pressure cooker while adding sufficient water and salt. Strain the kair sangar through a strainer to drain the excess water out.
Heat mustard oil in a wok. Add mustard seeds and whole dry red chillies in heated oil and let them crackle. Then add all other spices including salt, red chilly powder, amchur, garam masala, hing, turmeric powder, coriander powder etc. Sauté the spices for few minutes till the oil is separated. Now add kair sangar to the masala, mix well and cook it for 3-4 minutes.
The kair sangar sazi is ready. You may serve it with roti, parantha or poori, but to fully relish the taste of this Rajasthani dish, I recommend to serve it with daal ke paranthe.
yummmm I first thought it was non-veg !
ha ha ha, I am vegetarian Aishwarya and can't even think of cooking or eating a non-veg dish ever.
I love this but never knew how to make it!!! But, still can not try it as I don't know where to buy this vegetable here. But still will bookmark it. In north we get Kair pickle as well, that too is yummy.
I haven't tasted that pickle yet, though heard abt it.

There are a few must have beauty items every woman should have tucked away in her home. If you're having a bad hair day, suffering a broken fingernail or just need a quick touch up, it's important to have the basics in your beauty care arsenal.Even if you don't wear nail polish, you should keep your nails clean, trimmed and smoothly filed. Keeping emery boards, nail files and cuticle scissors are a must in every household. Your nails should be kept evenly sized and filed clean and smooth. Dirt under the nails is not only unappealing, but also contaminates your skin when you touch your neck or face, causing blemishes.Proper make up brushes are fundamental to proper application. Those little sponges that come with your eye shadow fall apart and don't really work that well. Get a set of quality brushes, including a wide base brush, angled brush, and of course, a broad blush brush. If you use powder foundation, be sure to get a stiff and wide round brush to apply the powder in a circular motion as well. It works much better than sponges or puffs.A good curler for your eyelashes keeps your lashes shapely and luscious. The best mascara brush on the market won't curl your lashes up as well as a proper eyelash curler, so make sure you have one on hand.A quality hair dryer and a good round hairbrush are a great combination that every woman should have in their home. Whether you are straightening or adding volume, these two tools can do wonders to dry and style your hair quickly. A diffuser on your blow dryer is essential for curly hair or sculpted styles, since it keeps your hair in place as it dries.Whether you want to curl or straighten, a good ceramic flat iron will do the trick. Pull your hair straight through in an upward motion from root to tip for added volume or loop it around the barrel to create romantic curls. Flat irons create frizz free styles quickly and easily.A good skin massager and exfoliator will leave you fresh faced with tightened pores and a smooth surface. There's really no point in buying great make up, if you don't start with a great canvas.These basic tools are great to achieve the classic look or flamboyant styles you are looking for and should be essential elements in every woman's beauty drawer.
As social media becomes more and more a part of the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world, businesses and large industries are beginning to incorporate their usage into how they run their everyday business operations. The healthcare industry, which is one of the largest industries in the world, has proven to be no exception to this rule. As social media trends continue to evolve, the healthcare world will surely find itself riding the wave of new social media practices, but as we can already see, there are plenty of uses for healthcare professionals already in place in the social media world.For starters, a great number of healthcare professionals utilize these constant up-to-date features to keep up with all of the latest news, breakthroughs, and changes in the healthcare world. When there is breaking news that healthcare professionals need to know right away, more often than not they will turn to the constantly updating realm of social media. With instant access to countless other healthcare professionals, news can travel at a very rapid pace, thereby keeping doctors and patients as informed as they could ever hope to be, all at the touch of a button. Since healthcare professionals are generally pretty busy on the job, the ability to receive all of this kind of information in mere seconds is a blessing to their schedules. Whenever they are on a break or enjoying lunch, they can browse for the latest information that they need to know, and find it all in minutes.Those who are on the outside looking in, hoping to join the ranks of the nation's healthcare professionals, are also to benefit. Scores of healthcare institutions, from major hospitals, to small private practice offices, will utilize social media's free services in order to fill their employment needs. Rather than go through traditional means like advertising in the newspaper or the major career posting websites, healthcare institutions can advertise their job openings on their own social media account, completely free, and with little effort. By doing this, they are not only enjoying those benefits, but especially on sites like Twitter, the people who are going to be seeing these career postings are the ones who are following your account. Since these people already had an interest in your institution, provided they have the qualifications, there's a definite chance that they will be more inclined to bring their best effort towards getting a job with your institution.
The city of Perpignan is the capital of the Pyrénées-Orientales, found in Languedoc-Rousillon. It is one of the most productive communes in France, being an important place of trade. The city is rich in wine, fruits, and vegetables.One can not fail to notice the more Spanish, rather than French, ambience in the city, most probably because of its proximity to the Spanish coastline. It also used to be the capital of the Kingdom of Majorca, again, rendered obvious by the place's very Catalan flair.One of the city's best known tourist destinations is Le Castillet, which used to be a gateway and fortress back in the 14th century. Visiting Le Castillet is like hitting two birds with one stone because it also has the Casa Pairal within its walls, which houses Catalan relics.Another similarly interesting landmark where one can get a delightful view of the entire city is the Palias des Rois de Majorque, or the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, if one prefers English. The palace was commissioned by King James II in the 13th century and was constructed atop the most elevated part of the city, hence the great view. Today, it is home to a music festival held every August called Guitares au Palais.One can also visit the Perpignan Cathedral or the Cathédral Saint-Jean-de-Baptiste de Perpignan, which was built in the 14th century but was completed only in the 15th after the area was acquired by King Louis XI. The aforementioned cathedral is highly noted for its rich Catalan designs, beautiful architecture and altarpieces. From there, one would also be able to see the Devost-Christ, which is a wooden depiction of Christ's crucifixion.In a world heavily loaded with stress, anger, grief, and loss, one needs only to drive down a road less traveled to take one's mind off these problems and experience rich culture. Perpignan is a perfect getaway for people who want a taste of French and Spanish ethnicity.

Human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) was recently discovered in the tumours called Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS). These tumours are found in people with AIDS and are otherwise very rare. KS forms purplish tumours in the skin and other tissues of some people with AIDS. It is very difficult to treat with medication. HHV8 may also cause other cancers, including certain lymphomas (lymph node cancers) associated with AIDS. The fact that these cancers are caused by a virus may explain why they tend to occur in people with AIDS when their immune systems begin to fail. The discovery also provides new hope that specific treatments for these tumours will be developed that target the virus.
If you have recently made it through a first episode that consisted of full-blown symptoms, you know something about signs and symptoms already. The good news is that the first episode is almost always the worst that HSV throws your way. Signs and symptoms of recurrent episodes (when they occur) tend to be milder and heal much more quickly, typically within two to twelve days.
You may have concerns about how genital herpes will impact your overall health, sex life, and relationships. It is best for you to talk to a health care provider about those concerns, but it also is important to recognize that while herpes is not curable, it can be managed with medication. Daily suppressive therapy (i.e., daily use of antiviral medication) for herpes can also lower your risk of spreading genital herpes to your sex partner. Be sure to discuss treatment options with your healthcare provider. Since a genital herpes diagnosis may affect how you will feel about current or future sexual relationships, it is important to understand how to talk to sexual partners about STDsExternal.
Herpes infection can cause sores or breaks in the skin or lining of the mouth, vagina, and rectum. This provides a way for HIV to enter the body. Even without visible sores, having genital herpes increases the number of CD4 cells (the cells that HIV targets for entry into the body) found in the lining of the genitals. When a person has both HIV and genital herpes, the chances are higher that HIV will be spread to an HIV-uninfected sex partner during sexual contact with their partner's mouth, vagina, or rectum.
The "classic" symptoms that most people associate with genital herpes are sores, vesicles, or ulcers – all of which can also be called "lesions." (The scientific literature on herpes uses the term "lesion" to describe any break or irregularity in the skin.) These classic lesions of genital herpes often resemble small pimples or blisters that eventually crust over and finally scab like a small cut. These lesions may take anywhere from two to four weeks to heal fully.
When herpes flares up again, it is called a "recurrence" or "outbreak." Herpes does not always recur, and if it does recur, the timing and severity are different from person to person. Some people rarely have recurrences. Others have them often. Herpes is most likely to recur in the first year after infection. Recurrences may be more frequent for people with weakened immune systems.
HSV-2 is commonly referred to as genital herpes because it usually causes cold sores to erupt around the genitalia. In fact, genital herpes is the No. 1 cause of genital ulcers worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and affects up to 1 in 3 adults (although most who are infected don't even know it). (5) Both types of herpes viruses are highly contagious, and both can cause cold sores in either area of the body (or sometimes both).
"Herpes is caused by sexual intimacy and contact with a person who is actively shedding the herpes virus," says Cullins. If you have HSV-1, that shedding could happen through the mouth or a cold sore, which means that the virus can be transmitted through kissing, or just sharing a drink. If you have herpes that affects the genitals, it can be transmitted from sharing sex toys, grinding, or even mutual masturbation — any activity where the virus can be transmitted from one person to another through skin-to-skin or mucosal contact.
If there is enlargement of the spleen, strenuous physical exercise should be avoided to prevent rupture. With the exception of possible complications, mono is rarely fatal and recovery is complete. Once recovered from the mono, you will usually have lifelong immunity from further infection because the body produces antibodies. If too hasty a departure is made from bed rest, however, a relapse may be experienced.
Research has gone into vaccines for both prevention and treatment of herpes infections. Unsuccessful clinical trials have been conducted for some glycoprotein subunit vaccines.[citation needed] As of 2017, the future pipeline includes several promising replication-incompetent vaccine proposals while two replication-competent (live-attenuated) HSV vaccine are undergoing human testing.[citation needed]
The cell this virus targets is the B lymphocyte. These cells mature in the bone marrow and are a type of mononuclear leukocyte cells - white blood cells with a one-lobed nucleus. The incubation period for the Epstein – Barr Virus (EBV) is about 30 to 50 days, and patients typically have enlarged lymph nodes and spleens. Some patients have signs of hepatitis.
Avoid physical contact with anyone who has visible blisters and sores, and don't share towels or anything that may have come into contact with the sores. "It is also important that before you have any intimate contact with anyone you ask them about their sexual health, whether they have a herpes infection or have ever had any other sexually transmitted infection," Michael advises. "This is because statistically, people who have had an STI are more likely to be infected with the herpes virus. Using condoms and dental dams can also help reduce your risk of catching oral herpes."
Herpes viruses typically infect the oral or genital mucosa. When herpes affects the mouth, it causes the typical "cold sores," which are painful sores or blisters that form on the lips, mouth, or gums. Prior to the development of the blisters, there may be a prodrome (early symptoms indicating onset of a particular disease) consisting of an itching, burning, or tingling sensation in the affected area. The virus remains dormant in the nervous system throughout life, and this is the reason that cold sores often recur in the same location.
Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD, is a U.S. board-certified Anatomic Pathologist with subspecialty training in the fields of Experimental and Molecular Pathology. Dr. Stöppler's educational background includes a BA with Highest Distinction from the University of Virginia and an MD from the University of North Carolina. She completed residency training in Anatomic Pathology at Georgetown University followed by subspecialty fellowship training in molecular diagnostics and experimental pathology.
These herpes viruses enter the body through small cuts, abrasions, or breaks in the skin or mucous membranes. The incubation period for herpes simplex infections is about three to six days. Transmission (spread) of the virus is person to person and more likely to occur if blisters or lesions are present. The majority enter after an uninfected person has direct contact with someone carrying the virus (either with or without noticeable lesions). Simply touching an infected person is often the way children get exposed. Adolescents and adults frequently get exposed by skin contact but may get their first exposure by kissing or sexual contact (oral and/or genital contact), especially for HSV-2. Statistical studies suggest that about 80%-90% of people in the U.S. have been exposed to HSV-1 and about 30% have been exposed to HSV-2. Usually, the contagious period continues until lesions heal. Some people (estimated from 30%-50%) occasionally shed herpes virus while having few or no associated symptoms or signs.
The virus is very bad and the people who have it suffer a lot. We will share with you the symptoms and ways to avoid virus. Most noteworthy there are a lot of symptoms of Virus, are the sores on the mouth or near the genital area. There are a lot of other symptoms as well. As a result of that those symptoms so if you find any of such signs get help from the experts immediately.
As of 2017, there is not currently a herpes vaccine available to prevent HSV-1 or HSV-2. (There is a vaccine available for another virus, herpes zoster; however, despite the similar name, it actually refers to the shingles virus. And, in fact, shingles occurs due to the reactivation of yet another virus, varicella zoster, which causes chicken pox.)
Many HSV-infected people experience recurrence within the first year of infection.[14] Prodrome precedes development of lesions. Prodromal symptoms include tingling (paresthesia), itching, and pain where lumbosacral nerves innervate the skin. Prodrome may occur as long as several days or as short as a few hours before lesions develop. Beginning antiviral treatment when prodrome is experienced can reduce the appearance and duration of lesions in some individuals. During recurrence, fewer lesions are likely to develop and are less painful and heal faster (within 5–10 days without antiviral treatment) than those occurring during the primary infection.[14] Subsequent outbreaks tend to be periodic or episodic, occurring on average four or five times a year when not using antiviral therapy.
A person may show symptoms within days after contracting genital herpes, or it may take weeks, months, or years. Some people may have a severe outbreak within days after contracting the virus while others may have a first outbreak so mild that they do not notice it. Because of these possibilities, it can be difficult for people to know when and from whom they may have contracted the virus.


Last year, we completed our first Shichifukujin, or Seven Lucky Gods, pilgrimage for luck and happiness in the new year. You can read all about our 2017 pilgrimage and more about them in general here.
This year, I wanted to complete our neighborhood Shichifukujin, as I felt it would be more meaningful than some other location, so this year we visited seven temples in Zushi and Hayama. This time, we were able to complete it in only a few hours in one day! We used this blog from a previous military family's experience and this site in Japanese as our guides. It would probably been faster if we had a car, but between our feet, trains, and the bus, it was still easily doable.
A few days later, I led another Shichifukujin with friends from church in Shinagawa, Tokyo (route and information here). This is one of the most walkable pilgrimages that I know of (good when leading a group of 15 people!) and with cute little figurines to collect and a boat to display them in. Here, you could get all the figurines and completed stamp sheet all at once at any of the temples, or collect them along the way. Had I never done one before, I might have collected them as we went, but for time's sake, I (and most of the women I was with) got them all at once. One of us collected them along the way, and we all visited all of the temples, so that counts for me!
I wore my rainbow hat so that my friends could follow me easily. The Japanese tend to wear muted colors and blend in, so I knew it would stand out. It worked! Apparently, I didn't get myself into the this group selfie as much as I thought though.
All the pilgrims were great troopers!
Huge panda donut I found along the way. Sadly, it was filled with red bean paste instead of chocolate. It wasn't terrible, but chocolate or cream would have better.
Fourteen temples in one week is quite a lot (and it wasn't even the final count! More on that later), but all the luck and fortune that should bring our family this year will be worth it! Do I actually believe in it? Probably not, but it sure couldn't hurt!
I kind of like this tradition. I'm wondering if I couldn't make something similar in my life to start each new year. I'll have to ponder that this year.
I think you could observe hatsumode - the first visit to a Shinto shrine in the new year - in your way. By visiting one of our temples, as early in the new year as possible.
We actually went to the Tucson temple on the 6th this month because it was closing for it's semi-annual upkeep last week and this week and we didn't want to run the risk of having something the last Saturday keep us from going. And, as it turns out, we've got something going on next Saturday now so that was good timing.
I was thinking more along the lines of what the 7 lucky gods represent and some way to acknowledge similar aspects in my life each year. Back when I was still setting goals each year (which also lined up with when I was actually sleeping), I'd set 5 goals in 5 different areas to ensure I was maintaining balance in my life. A year-long goal right now seems a bit much, but I think I still want to try to represent the different areas in some way so that I am still striving for balance. Kind of like, what would I put on my New Year's rake to represent my balanced desires for the new year.
That makes sense - I hope you can figure something out that works for you!

The Movement in #MeToo. An Interview.
Tarana Burke
U.S. Youth Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman, grabbed
a few minutes with #MeToo founder, Tarana Burke, to discuss intersectional feminism, movement building and how to protect the integrity and purpose of a something like #MeToo while still allowing it to expand with and adapt to its growing community; accommodating the individual voices that power the collective whole
Amanda Gorman: It's an honour to be on the phone with you! Wow I'm going to tell my mom later. But for now I'm going to ask you a few questions and if there is anything that I don't touch upon that you would like to add just let me know and we will get that in there.
Tarana Burke: Thank you, okay.
A: On Twitter you've talked a lot recently about receiving accolades and the mobilization of the term "me too," but I also know that, for you, it's not all about attending the Golden Globes or being on the cover of Time. So, what I'm interested in knowing is what is the impact you're most glad to see within the last few months of the #MeToo movement?
T: I think that just having the opportunity to have an expanded platform, and to have this conversation be in the national dialogue for an extensive period of time is really pretty amazing. Some of the most impactful things are being able to use the media strategically to spark more conversation around sexual violence. And also to be able to set the agenda or try to set the agenda around how we should move forward and have an expanded platform on which to do so. But I also think that it's really impactful for black women and girls to have somebody who is a literal voice. In body, and mind, and spirit — a voice for the plight of sexual violence in our community.
A: I 100% agree. I'd love to talk about setting the agenda because I know that's something you've spoken up about in terms of getting acknowledgement but also the possibility of being erased at the same time. It's not all about the accolades or the awards, it's also about setting the agenda of the movement. For you, what does that agenda look like for the #MeToo movement and how is that different from the perspective that people might have from the way that celebrities talk about it?
T: Well, I think that it's not just celebrities — the way that it's framed in the mainstream media restricts the conversation to sexual harassment in the workplace, and it should be far more expansive than that. What people have largely responded to since it started is this need for them to give voice to the trauma they experienced across the spectrum of sexual violence. And so I think that has made some people feel left out of the movement.
A: Absolutely.
T: In terms of race and the people who are talked about, but even the issue itself has sort of been marginalized — I hate to use that word — but it has been marginalized into this one area. Also the idea that this is a movement about taking down powerful men. It seems that anything that happens in relation to sexual misconduct is now called #MeToo in the media. "It's the era of 'me too' or the 'me too' movement," it's everything like that and really it's not the movement in terms of setting an agenda and moving forward to define what should be happening. We should be having large scale examinations of where the gaps are in our country around preventing sexual violence and around providing resources for people who have experienced this. We should be focused on asking what are the needs of the survivors of sexual violence that already exist? And what are the things we have to do on a local, regional, and international level to provide safety for those who are most vulnerable to sexual violence.
A: I definitely agree, especially around the agenda being so much more than the workplace, or the frames projected by mainstream media. As a young black woman I notice at times in the mainstream media framing of the "me too" movement you see a white female face, or a white male face, and that type of questioning and interrogation needs to happen. That also got me reflecting and thinking about the sexual violence and trauma that also occurs in the black community and whether we are looking very deeply at that as well. I'm not sure if you had thoughts about that as you were talking about the role of black women in this movement as well.
T: I absolutely do because we have a whole different set of issues within the black community and communities of color. There is a culture of silence and that's been a part of us for a very very long time. So, there is an additional body of work that has to happen and an additional layer of conversation that has to happen in our community around this specifically — which is why I think it's really good for us to constantly push the issue of representation. Who's being represented? Whose stories are mentioned? I also don't want us to get lost so deeply in the quest for representation that we don't have honest conversations about what's actually happening. And for us to not wait until it's validated by CNN in order to address the issue that's been going on.
A: Very true. So that the conversations can occur internally without the need of mainstream media picking it up.
T: Exactly.
A: A big topic that's been brought up by your leadership in this movement is that of intersectionality and also solidarity. For example in the New York Times piece about you they referenced a lot of tweets about women writing about intersectionality and the need for representation. So, all that to say I was reading about you and in connection with the movement those two words have been used a lot.
I wanted to dive into what they mean for you. What does intersectionality and solidarity mean to you Ms. Burke? And also, are they different?
T: Yeah, in general they get used a lot now a days, right?
A: Definitely.
T: They are are just like the new sexy buzzwords used to make people feel like they are a part of the current wave of whatever. But I think in this moment what intersectionality looks like is an acknowledgement — that the people coming forward revealing their experience of sexual violence have multiple identities and we all have multiple realities. So, I am a woman, I am a mother, I am a survivor. I have several different entry points into this work and I've had experiences with sexual violence across those different identities. And so, since I'm doing the work with other people, all of that has to be taken into account. That's really intersectionality. It's about the acknowledgment of our various identities that we bring with us wherever we go. And if you're going to build allyship, or what have you, particularly in this movement, you have to acknowledge the fact that people come to the work with different realities. I think that in general white women have become more aware of those things and have become more cognizant of what they bring when they come into those spaces just because there has been so much work that women of color have done via social media and things like that. For instance, definitely it was black women who rang the alarm and said this woman started this movement and we should acknowledge her etc. etc… But white women had come in large numbers saying the same thing, that this woman's work should not be erased and you should support her. To me that is an example of the direct impact that the labor so many women of color have put in over the last several years has had. To provide an education to white women and white people about how you have to approach being an ally. I feel like I'm seeing some progress in that area but, of course, we also see people who are just using those words as an access code, use the right words here and there, and then they want access into your world.
A: Yep, it's the passcode, I agree. This is why I wanted to bring it up. I actually am writing my thesis on the buzzword of intersectionality so that was interesting. And I was glad that you brought up thinking about what those active allyships mean because I was so happy and excited to see that you were on The View, was it yesterday?
T: Yes, yes, yes!
A: I saw it and I was like WHAT!!! They had a Women's March co-chair, and they had Patrisse Cullors from Black Lives Matter, and they had you!! Can you tell me more about what that was like and maybe more of your views about allyship across these movements — which we see have, of course, different hashtags, they are different movements but it was just really great to see you all represented on a stage. So, what was that like for you?
T: Yeah! You know what, like the folks at The View were saying this was the genius of a sister who came up with the idea to have all three of us. We all three know each other and we've all three interacted, all three, separately. It was the first time that we had all come together and we had a discussion about black women in leadership and to talk about our various work. It was a great feeling, it was a great conversation, and I will tell you, both of those women have supported me in ways behind the scenes that other people don't understand. This is a unique place to fit in, to become suddenly visible to the world and so that means scrutinized and criticized and pulled in some many different directions. They are very good people who understand that and I have not felt an iota of, and I want to say this really clearly because in contrast to what people think happens with women and particularly black women — I've not felt an iota of anything but comradery and support. And I'm just thinking about it right now, Tamika and the women from the Women's March put me on a national stage within days, within a week of me going viral. And the sisters from Black Lives Matter, both Patrisse and Alicia, have consistently made sure to call my name in public spaces and national public spaces and to amplify the work and to keep people aware of our history and the work we've done here. And they did that without us having long, deep personal relationships. So, there is an example of the natural and innate allyships that have happened and that I've seen happen in many other ways in less physical spaces.
And in terms of working across issue lines, I think what we understand, specifically black people and people of color, is that our issue lines are blurred because we really have so much commonality in terms of what we have to work for and against in order to bring justice into our communities. Whether you work on reproductive justice or police rights or women's rights or voting rights or whatever. There's still these overarching systems of patriarchy, these overarching systems of the idea of white supremacy, all of them, all of that is something that affects every one of our issues. And so we have to work across issue lines. It's not just across race, it's not just across class, it's across all of that because sometimes we can get siloed into our own particular issues but I think that the gravity of our situation in the country right now is really going to push people to understand that we must work across issue lines in order to really move the needle in a way that benefits us all.
A: Yay!! I got so excited seeing that.
T: Hahaha, yeah! That conversation was good.
A: I hope one day that episode becomes a video I have to watch in my sociology class.
T: Awwww.
A: I know you're short on time, so I have one last question. We will have a lot of young people reading this report and I was wondering what advice you would give to young people who want to get involved with one of these movements of this contemporary era?
T: Well, Patrisse said this yesterday on The View and I totally agree: in organizations, and grassroots organizations specifically, I believe in the power of community. And so I would say that if you can find a local community organization to join that is in line with the work you're trying to do and if you can't find one and if one doesn't exist find some like-minded people and get together. I'm not saying you have to build a whole organization but you can do work within your community with people who think like you think and get a lot done. So I think that's one thing and also for young people, it's really important that they are studying right now. Right?
A: Yes, of course.
T: Study the history of movements that came before you and talk to elders and people who can provide another layer of wisdom to what you're doing. We live in a new world and there is a new way of doing things. There is digital and all that kinda stuff that they have a handle on but I think that it's really important that young people starting to do this work know that this is connected to something. There is a thread that runs through decades and there is wisdom to be gleaned from the past, both triumphs and challenges. So they should not come into this thinking that they are inventing the wheel but to have the knowledge of prior movements and to carry that with you while you do your work.
A: So understanding the broader tapestry, the legacy.
