For nonbinary people, invisibility directly impacts our mental health
Being told your gender doesn't exist weighs on your mental wellness.

June in the U.S. is a time for celebrating LGBT Pride, and for reflecting on the challenges our community still faces. For many of us nonbinary people – those who don't fully identify as either male or female – one of those challenges is invisibility in mainstream society, and the way that invisibility impacts our health.
Most people today believe in a concept called the gender binary: the idea that there are two genders. However, the gender binary doesn't actually capture some people's experience of their gender. Nonbinary is an umbrella term for anyone who identifies outside the gender binary. Under that term, people can also have other more specific identities. For instance, someone who doesn't identify with any gender could use the term agender, while someone whose gender identity varies over time might use genderfluid.
Despite progress in recent years, queer identities are still underrepresented in media. Only 6.4 percent of regular characters on primetime broadcast TV last year were LGBT, according to GLAAD's annual report on LGBT media representation, and almost none were nonbinary. We're often left out of mainstream discussions of LGBT rights and history. That invisibility can make it hard to feel confident in our identities. And while some countries and American states are starting to recognize a third gender on official documents, most of the time our legal identification has a binary gender on it, meaning our government is officially pigeonholing us into an identity that doesn't fit.
Being nonbinary means living most of your life carrying an invisible weight: you're almost constantly misgendered, deliberately or accidentally, and faced with the many expectations society has of your perceived gender. Being misgendered can contribute to gender dysphoria – discomfort associated with being perceived or assigned a gender that is different from your identity.
Studies show that coming out in a supportive environment is good for LGBT people's mental health. That makes sense: carrying a secret about your identity is definitely mentally and emotionally taxing. And it highlights the importance of social acceptance of LGBT identities: it directly impacts our health.
Unfortunately, 'coming out' can be a scary, tiring, or even dangerous process for many nonbinary people. Correcting people can be lengthy and exhausting: not only do you have to tell them what your real gender is, but you face the possibility of having to try to convince them that your gender is real. I joke with friends that I feel like I needed to carry around a projector and PowerPoint presentation to make coming out as nonbinary worth the effort.
For me, the cost of being nonbinary most often comes in a weird sense of preemptive exhaustion. I sometimes choose not to come out to people because the thought of having to deconstruct their understanding of gender to explain myself is so tiring. Plus, after all that effort, they might not really understand or respect my identity. So I avoid coming out, which leads to me being misgendered and experiencing dysphoria. This dysphoria makes me feel ill at ease in my own body, self-conscious about its shape and the space it occupies, and like it somehow doesn't fit me. I've almost exclusively only come out to friends who are queer, because I know their journey towards understanding themselves probably already taught them a bit about the gender binary and the fact that people can exist outside it.
A study of 900 transgender youths in Canada found that nonbinary participants struggled more with their mental health than their binary trans counterparts. A study in Europe produced similar results. That isn't to minimize the challenges faced by binary trans individuals; it's just that society is gradually coming to understand trans binary identities better, while nonbinary identities remain little known or understood outside the LGBT community. Both straight, cisgender people and LGBT people sometimes discredit nonbinary identities as some sort of fad, despite the fact that many societies around the world had nonbinary identities long before they experienced Western colonization.
A day after I talked with a friend about how much I wished people would stop assuming my gender when they looked at me, I was leaving my gym and a stranger on the street (probably drunk) started shouting at me, "Hey! HEY! Are you a dude or a chick? A dude or a chick? I just wanna know!" Technically, I wanted people to recognize that I was neither a man or a woman, but the way the stranger approached me was callous, disrespectful and scary.

People want you to fit into the gender binary, and even strangers feel entitled to try and police you to that end. Nonbinary invisibility means I have to explain my gender experience to well-meaning friends (which I don't always mind, but again, can get tiring), but I am also hounded by strangers who think that I am not adequately performing a gender I don't identify with. The person who shouted at me didn't pursue me or pose a real threat, but that was a matter of luck, not a marker of genuine safety in our society for people outside the gender binary. That stress has real costs for our mental health.

I've decided to just add more subitems instead, but still would like to know how this would be accomplished. The payment total also wasn't changing until I switched routes.
You can make the width of the field into 1/3rd of the total width of the form to have 3 columns per row.
This css implies that the three fields will have a width that is 30% of the form. Any field after these three will then move down to the next row because there is no room in that row.


The focus of Father's Heart Ministry is to serve those in need within our community. Over the years we have sponsored a number of assistance programs including peanut butter and jelly sandwich lunches which we prepared and delivered in the early morning hours to the various Day Labor sites in Pinellas Park each week, and a Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat Community Breakfast. Currently our efforts are primarily focused on operating a USDA Food Pantry on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month. We welcome all those who are drawn to this type of service. Volunteers meet to pack food boxes at 4:45 and we open for distribution from 6:00 to 6:30pm.


Awake & Moving: Incurably Innocent with At The Drive In.
Incurably Innocent with At The Drive In.
At The Drive In returns with "Incurably Innocent" from their newest record, in·ter a·li·a.
At The Drive In finally announces a new album and release date as well as a brand new North American Tour. After 17 years, the El Paso boys are back in full swing and are just as powerful. After releasing their first single "Governed by Contagions" since their breakup 16 years ago, ATDI returns with another punch to your ears, this time with a much sharper sonic force. Titled "Incurably Innocent", the new track travels with high velocity and upbeat rhythm that hook you immediately. Fast, catchy, and aggressive in true ATDI fashion, this new track has me pretty damn excited for this next record.
I couldn't help myself when I heard the new track and began immediately creating. The result is a trip back to the early naughts when technical distortion and super grit were the dominating forces in graphic design. While this style is now a lot less popular (some may argue for the better), I decided to take a trip down memory lane and create something in the same vein for pure nostalgia.
The tour kicks off March 17th and I am hoping to bring you some great images from the show when they come through Texas, so stand by! The station is FULLY operational and I couldn't be happier about.

DeKalb Teams Continue Jockeying for Playoff Seeding on Final Week
Tucker's Evan Ffrench (kicking) kicks out of the hold of teammate Connor Whaley. Ffrench has scored 50 points (26-27 PATs, 4-5 field goals, 2 receiving TDs) on the season. He and his Tiger teammates take on Arabia Mountain in a key Region 4-5A contest on Friday at Godfrey Stadium. (Photo by Mark Brock)
Arabia Mountain hosting Tucker in Region 4-5A play is one of several key games as DeKalb teams try to up their playoff seeding on the final week of the high school football regular season this weekend.
The Rams (4-5, 2-2) and Tigers (4-5, 2-2) clash 7:00 pm on Thursday with the No. 3 seed out of Region 4-5A on the line on Arabia Mountain's senior night at Godfrey Stadium.
It is just the third meeting between the two teams and the first since 2013, a 46-12 win by Tucker who is 2-0 vs. the Rams. Tucker won its first two games of the season before dropping five in a row going into its matchup with Martin Luther King two weeks ago needing wins to secure a 16th consecutive playoff appearance.
The Tigers responded with a 57-8 win over the Lions and then knocked off Lithonia 44-12 last weekend to secure a playoff spot. Running back Jordan McCoy who is approaching 1,000 yards (978 yards) after six games played racked up 366 yards and seven touchdowns in the two wins to propel the Tigers to the wins.
Daniel Nduckwe (17) battles a Lithonia defender to come up with a touchdown pass in a game earlier this year. Ndukwe had 14 catches for 235 yards and 4 TDs on the season. He will take on the Tucker Tigers along with his teammates on Friday in an important Region 4-5A match up. (Photo by Mark Brock)
Arabia Mountain bounced back from a loss two weeks ago with a 27-0 shutout of Martin Luther King this past Friday to clinch a playoff spot themselves. It is the Rams first playoff appearance since the 2020 season. Quarterback Julian Shanks led the way on offense for the Rams throwing touchdown passes to Jordan Miller and Kenneth Hollinger and running 36 yards for another score in the win over the Lions. Arabia Mountain's defense led by Daniel Turpin (4 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 tackles for loss) and Malcolm Snipes (5 tackles, 1 interception) held the Lions to just 17 yards of total offense.
There are two other Thursday night games with playoff implications including Stephenson (5-3,3-1) hosting Southwest DeKalb (2-7, 0-4) and Dunwoody (5-4, 1-3) hosting North Atlanta (6-3, 2-2).
Stephenson can still capture the Region 6-4A No. 1 seed with a win and some help. Dunwoody could clinch a playoff spot with a win against a tough North Atlanta squad.
Cedar Grove vs. Carver-Atlanta
The No. 1 ranked Cedar Grove Saints (6-2, 2-0) can sew up the Region 5-3A No. 1 seed with a win over the No. 4 ranked Carver-Atlanta Panthers (6-2, 1-1) in a 7:30 pm kickoff at Godfrey Stadium on Friday.
The Saints are coming off a bye week following a big win over No. 3 ranked Sandy Creek on the road two weeks ago. Cedar Grove is set to play in front of the home crowd for the first time this season as they have weathered a travel heavy schedule. The game with Carver is a rematch of the 2021 Class 3A state championship game won by the Saints. Cedar Grove is having both homecoming and senior night.
Carver is also coming off a bye-week after defeating Douglass two weeks ago.
Chamblee vs. Lithonia
The Chamblee Bulldogs (6-2, 3-1) are looking to bounce back from a disheartening last-minute loss to Decatur last week that was for the Region 4-5A title as they travel to Clarkston's Hallford Stadium to take on the Lithonia Bulldogs (0-9, 0-4) at 7:30 pm.
Chamblee is locked into the No. 2 seed heading into the playoffs and looking for a seven-win season. Lithonia is looking for the upset on senior night to end a 10-game skid dating back to the first round of the playoffs in 2021.

The Morris School Of Bookie Swindling
By Craig Morris
Mr Morris' Loose Change
So last week's bet didn't come off, thanks Finland! I was right to say Northern Ireland could get something in Slovenia, I can't say I expected them to win. Although it could have cost me a bet I'll have to congratulate Northern Ireland on an excellent win, I never doubted you!
As for Finland. Well, I hate you all. Losing 2-0 to a Moldova side that didn't win a single game at home in World Cup qualifying?! Then just to add insult to injury they nearly go and get a draw in Holland. Bastards.
At least we're back to the bread and butter of the Premiership this weekend. Here's my tip for this week.
West Brom vs. Tottenham Hotspur AWAY WIN 11/10 and Birmingham vs. Liverpool DRAW 23/10
This double will get you 6/1.
There isn't much need to explain the Tottenham bet. Even with Defoe injured they're still much stronger than West Brom and should win. At 11/10 they're a decent price for what should be a comfortable win.
I really like the draw bet between Birmingham and Liverpool. Birmingham is pretty strong at home and after a good season last year Alex McLeish has strengthened his squad. Liverpool is still trying to get into their rhythm following the departure of Rafa Benitez. Dirk Kuyt's injury whilst on international duty will be a blow as well. Having said that, Liverpool are still the stronger side on paper and have always got a threat with Torres and Gerrard on the pitch.
Good luck gambling and no I don't reimburse you if you put the bet on and it loses 🙂

I Mean This In The Most Respectful Way Possible, It Would Be Fantastic If Tyronn Lue Stopped Talking
TheSportingNews- The Cavaliers coach made a shocking statement Wednesday, saying the Celtics were tougher to defend than the Warriors.
"I don't even think about (the Warriors)," Lue told reporters, via ESPN.com. "We're just focused on Boston. The stuff they're running, it's harder to defend than Golden State's [offense] for me, as far as the actions and all the running around and all the guys who are making all the plays, so it's a totally different thing."
Lue said Boston coach Brad Stevens' plays are what throws Cleveland off guard, which is what makes defending the Celtics more difficult.
"Like, they hit the post, Golden State runs splits and all that stuff, but these guys are running all kinds of s—," Lue said of Stevens' style. "I'll be like, 'F—.' They're running all kinds of s—, man. And Brad's got them moving and cutting and playing with pace, and everybody is a threat. It's tough, you know, it's tough."
Can someone do everyone a favor and shove a sock in Tyronn Lue's mouth? I know that comes across as harsh, but I swear I am just trying to protect him from himself. It's really starting to feel like every original point he offers up in a press conference is original for a reason, and that reason is that it makes him seem like less of a head coach. I suppose I didn't think he was the second coming of John Wooden when LeBron James' hand was up his ass while puppeting him to the promised land, but there's something to the saying "better to be thought of as a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt".
I don't want to make it sound like the town drunk could adequately take Tyronn Lue's place, but even the town drunk knows that coaching the greatest, most versatile basketball player on the planet is undoubtedly not "the hardest job in the NBA". He might be getting to the bottom of that bargain basement bottle of vodka, but if you wake up that bum at the back of the bar then even he could tell you he'd rather game plan for the Boston Celtics than the Golden State Warriors. Tyronn Lue might be great at X's and O's, but when it comes to thinking out loud he needs an X duct taped over the O that he keeps spewing nonsense from.
Now granted, Brad Stevens is a hell of a basketball mind and I understand the difficulties of prepping for the unknown of a team that lost it's best player. However, they pale in comparison to the difficulties of prepping for a team that has four best players, so maybe don't give that same, thin-skinned team that takes everything personal any bulletin board material. As the most statistically dominant group in the history of the NBA playoffs, I don't think they need anymore motivation to keep their undefeated streak going in attempt to redeem last year's choke job. Especially when it's coming from someone that was gifted the conductor's seat on a train that was already moving full speed ahead when David Blatt got tossed on the side of the tracks mid-championship season.


The DGFG allocation department offers service in tissue transplantation. Doctors want their patients to have a short waiting time for a transplant. Hospitals appreciate planning and supply security. Tissue banks want quickly distribution for quality grafts. Therefore the allocation and provision of tissue grafts is one of the core tasks of the DGFG.
A central allocation office for tissue transplants as well as a nationwide waiting list, such as exists for organ transplants, does not exist in Germany for tissue transplants. The legislature did not desire to have one. However, each inpatient or outpatient transplant center can register their patients for a transplant with the DGFG. Registration is not binding and is free. Many centers use the allocation offered by the DGFG because the waiting times are often shorter and the operations are planned out. If a matching transplant exists in the network, then all relevant information about it will be sent. Only after this will the attending physician make the decision as to whether the transplant is suitable for the patient. The transplant will then be reserved for this patient and an operation will be scheduled.
The basis for the allocation is the database in which all tissue banks in the network of the DGFG register their current available transplants. In the future all tissue donation, processing, and arranging will be completely managed through an electronic database. Doctors are no longer wasting their time to request several tissue banks. We offer comprehensive service assistance with patient registration. The database also allows for the clinic's own waiting lists. The personnel at the central office are there to advise you!
For scheduled heart valve and blood vessel grafts transplants, the notification and waiting period is subject to availability, with the specific requirements being the size and the urgency. Here we work intensively with all the parties with a stake in the operation.
The DGFG provides all tissue banks with the opportunity to allocate their transplants for use through our nationwide network. Valuable donor tissue that is in only demand due to fluctuations or time constraints will no longer be wasted. The tissue grafts are done nationwide according to predefined distribution criteria. Depending of the cooperation mode the DGFG reimburses the tissue bank for the expenses of donation and prcessing. The expenses for allocation, the database and the transport are also taken care of by the DGFG. Each tissue bank retains an independent decision making process. The banks can continue to meet the needs of their own transplant programe.
Our nationwide, well-developed network ensures that corneas and heart valves make it from the tissue banks to transplant centers without a loss of time. Through our nationwide inventory database, the staff of our network has a good oversight of all available transplants. In emergency situations our staff can quickly respond with appropriate grafts. Networking increases the chances that patients will get a matching transplant quickly.
As the largest network of tissue medicine in Germany, we are the link between tissue banks and transplant centers. It is our unique network structure in Germany that makes it possible, that almost every second cornea that is transplanted in Germany is allocated by us.


Governor Perry signed into law our legislation to rein in companies that sell, lease, or share physician-contracted discounts without your knowledge or consent. These "silent PPO" practices mislead patients and cause needless, costly hassles for physicians who fall victim to them. The legislation, Senate Bill 822 by Sen. Charles Schwertner, MD, and Rep. Craig Eiland, was TMA's No. 1 priority this session for establishing fair and transparent insurance markets for patients, employers, and physicians. The new law takes effect Sept. 1.
The legislature is in special session. For now, lawmakers are dealing only with redistricting, but TMA is monitoring the session closely in case the governor directs them to take up issues that concern physicians and patients.

Car accidents kill or injure millions of people every year. They're the reason for numerous car safety technologies, like seatbelts, airbags, and head up displays. In addition, preventing car accidents is the purpose of numerous federal and state safety agencies, each of which researches and implements safety technologies that can make roads safer, as well.
However, there's a lot of money that can be made in this area, and companies have been taking advantage of it for years. Now, an investigation into one of these roadside safety technologies – guardrails – is revealing how far companies have gone to make money, and how much the public has been put at risk.
This blog post will focus on the issue, while Wednesday's will delve into the money-making testing scheme surrounding some dangerous guardrail models.
Not many drivers notice guardrails, the metal barriers that prevent cars from going off the road on highways. Importantly, though, there are a handful of ways for engineers to construct the beginning of a guardrail, which would act just like a dangerous spear if it were not covered or protected in some way. Unfortunately, many of these methods are faulty, and can themselves injure drivers who hit the very start of a guardrail in a car accident.
One method is to have metal railing rise from the ground before running along the length of the highway. However, this technique, called a "turndown," often led to cars hitting the railing's incline and flipping over, making for a more serious car accident than would have happened, otherwise.
Other methods have tried different ways of diverting a car from the dangerous start of a guardrail, or have acted as shields for the car that curl the metal railing away from the vehicle. However, these techniques are also fraught with difficulties, as well.
Another guardrail model is the X-LITE End Treatment. These guardrail endings have a flat plate at the tip, and several sheaths of metal railing that "telescope" into each other. Together, this setup uses the flat plate to slow the car down while the impact shoves the first section of the dangerous railing inside the second section, and then the second section inside the third section.
The X-LITE End Treatment, though, has been linked to several car accidents that turned fatal after the design failed, letting the guardrail penetrate into the vehicle at high speeds and impale the driver.
Investigations into why the X-LITE was used, though, have uncovered corruption on a grand scale, which we'll cover in our next blog post.
Car accidents are bad enough when all of the safety mechanisms work the way they're supposed to work. When they don't, though, it can lead to even more drastic and life-altering injuries.

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Composer: Ramin Kousha
Label: Plaza Mayor Company Ltd
plazamayorcompany.com
Plaza Mayor Company release the original motion picture soundtrack to The Warden. A prison is about to be evacuated to make room for an airport expansion project. Colonel Jahed and his officers are busy transferring all inmates to the new facility, but one inmate is missing...
The score for The Warden relies mostly on suspenseful themes to help create the right atmosphere. It's a soundtrack that also works surprisingly well as a standalone music album in its own right.
Composer Ramin Kousha (5th Passenger; Sharknado) does a remarkable job at unnerving the listener and setting the onscreen world on a knife edge of intrigue and suspense. The themes are intricate and deeply layered, which pays dividends for those returning to this time and again.
Overall, an interesting and diverse collection that also has a soft gentle side, in themes like 'Free Him'.

Bacon rashers, statistics, and controversy
Tim Spector and Christopher Gardner discuss the recent recommendations that there is no need to cut red meat
"No Ifs or Butties—Bacon is safe to eat after all," said the headline in The Sun. The latest of summary meta-analysis reports was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine last week on the evidence for the effects of eating meat eating. The Canadian authors conclude that we have grossly over-estimated the harmful effects of both red meat and processed meat on cancer and mortality and that we should not alter our current habits. This comes soon after a succession of other high-profile reports which reached the opposite conclusion, with some even suggesting that eating bacon was as dangerous as smoking cigarettes. Current NHS and US guidelines are that we should modestly reduce intakes of meat to less than 70 grams a day, which is equivalent to a rasher of bacon. No wonder the public is confused, not to mention the health professionals who are trying to advise them.
An important clarification here is that there are no new data being considered. The publication is from health service researchers who applied a stringent set of evaluation criteria (called GRADE) they created at McMaster University to the existing studies. The criteria are well suited to studies of pharmaceuticals when there are randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials available, but not for studies of meat, eggs, vegetables or any specific food.
Investigation of dietary risk factors has to rely on a range of evidence from test-tube studies, animal studies, observational studies and clinical trials of different durations and follow up. These clinical trials can have hard outcomes like death or heart attacks or changes in risk factors like lipids or blood pressure. Meta-analysis involves the summation of evidence in a systematic way from a variety of sources, which is intended to be objective. However, the investigator is responsible for pre-selecting criteria to include and exclude studies, which introduces subjectivity into the process. The latest Canadian meta-analysis, used the same observational data as previous reports, yet came to radically different conclusions, primarily because they dismissed them as merely associations, not causation. Given that RCTs with foods or food groups are not possible, dismissing the next best available evidence such as recent data from UK Biobank is tantamount to concluding "we know nothing about diet," which isn't true. The authors also chose to leave out all artificial ex-vivo lab studies and animal studies, included in other meta-analyses, that have, for example, implicated nitrites or acrylamides as carcinogens. Many people however agree that drawing any human generalisations from these data is difficult.
The Canadian team did identify 12 RCTs to include, and excluded many others with meat data using questionable logic. For example, the Lyon Heart study was dismissed for being untrustworthy because it was halted early by a data monitoring group when benefits were seen. The PREDIMED study, that specifically included red meat reduction, was also not included. However, the authors did include the large Women's Health Initiative with over 40,000 women, even though red meat restriction was not part of the Low-Fat design. And yet the authors report that this is essentially the only RCT they found trustworthy, and the trial that dominates the analysis of hard outcomes. For risk factor outcome RCTs (e.g., blood pressure, blood lipids) they excluded all RCTs shorter than 6 months, which eliminated many available and relevant studies. Previous summaries, which have been more inclusive, have shown modest health risks for red meat, but clear links between processed meat, heart disease and early death. The evidence for cancer causation is less clear-cut, and several trials of meat reduction have not resulted in lowering of cancer risks.
The debate around the conflicting results and conclusions highlights that the meta-analysis can no longer be assumed to be the gold standard method of assessing many of the problems of nutritional research. We have only limited data to make important decisions crucial to our health. Despite diet being the number one modifiable factor in most chronic diseases, proper funding for research on any decent scale is still woeful. We have been distracted for too long from properly assessing the potential harms of ultra-processed foods, particularly those with low quality meats—notably, the first RCT of ultra-processed food was only published this year.
Summarising the evidence of all the studies is not easy, but in our view, we should all be eating less meat and more high fibre, nutrient-dense foods that include many vegetables, legumes, fruits and nuts and seeds. The evidence of cancer causation from eating red or processed meat is weak, and the previous comparisons with cigarettes are highly misleading. But for other diseases, the case against processed meats having a significant risk is still relatively strong. The case against red meat is weaker and may depend on quantity and quality or the emerging influence of our individualised gut microbiomes that could be crucial in determining risk and explain some of the inconsistencies in previous studies. No food item should ever be analysed in isolation; whatever is removed has to be substituted with something else. Cutting out meat allows more space on the plate for vegetables and fibre, which come with a large side-serving of evidence supporting their benefits for good health.
Over and above the scientific arguments, the media coverage highlights the increasing polarisation of views and suspicion of the motives behind research. When previous studies suggested meat (especially processed meat) was dangerous, critics attacked the vegan and low-fat lobbies for being behind them. When this latest report emerged, social media was rife with stories of how the powerful US cattle lobby influenced the conclusions. It emerged that in 2017 the lead author had published a similar meta-analysis in the same journal concluding the evidence for adverse health effects of sugar were weak; that study was funded by ILSI, known to be a front group for many of the Big Food corporations. In the modern era of fake news, rich industry lobbyists and the sad history of the cigarette and pharmaceutical industries, impartiality is hard to prove.
Whichever experts we choose to believe on the health benefits or risks of red or processed meat we can no longer ignore the fact that around a quarter of global warming is due to agriculture, and the greatest single factor and most of our land is used in raising highly inefficient beef. Apart from giving up a car and aeroplanes, dramatically reducing our meat intake is probably the most important act we can do for the planet.

Review 3: Inked Memories
Winter has set in with enthusiasm here, so it's definitely a good time to be cuddled up with my monster dog, my tea and my Kobo. I need recovery time in between all the rounds of shoveling!
Next up for review is the final book for the original Montgomery clan. Inked Memories is Book 8 in the Montgomery Ink series by Carrie Ann Fisher. While I'm a fan of the series overall, there have definitely been some ups and downs in quality throughout the series, so I was both excited and apprehensive about this release. Looking at it from the perspective of the author, a long running series like this does present some different challenges. The world is well established and a lot of the cast of characters is already known, so the world building takes on a different character. It has to become smaller and more intimate and in some ways, the developing relationship of the two main characters has to carry more of the story.
I really did enjoy this book though. Our heroes, Wes and Jillian do face different concerns, since they are both known to the overall cast, so they have to be worried about a different sort of judgement. But these are the Montgomeries, so of course that's not going to happen. The running trope of this series has been that someone always ends up in the hospital, and some of the plot machinations to get them there have been better than others. Even the characters themselves are getting sick of it, so the internal references help to break the frustration with that. The mechanism is this book is a bit of a stretch but not too horrible, and it's the last one, so I'll let it go.
What I do like is that the Wes and Jillian are actually applying lessons learned by the earlier couples in tackling their growing relationship. It's refreshing to see them sidestep some of the drama by recognizing that it hindered, not helped, other HEAs that ended up happening anyway. I was slightly disappointed by the references to Wes being kinky that were never followed up on. They have some hot sex, but none of it even remotely kinky. *sad face*
Once again, I wish this book had been put through a more thorough review process, although it was definitely better than earlier books in the series. (I love the story in Ink Enduring, but I can barely read it for the horrible string of errors.) There are a small smattering of minor errors and two big standouts in this one – but to be fair, one of them made me laugh like a hyena, so it gets some kind of points for that. This one is walking the line on losing a star for editing problems, but it's not awful so I gave this one four stars on Goodreads.

Bitcoin Futures the Beginning of a New Derivatives Class: Wedbush Securities Director

Bitcoin Futures the Beginning of a New Derivatives Class: Wedbush Securities…
Author: Josiah Wilmoth @Y3llowb1ackbird
Less than three months have passed since the first Bitcoin futures contracts exchanges hands on a regulated US exchange, but one industry veteran says that his clients are already clamoring for more cryptocurrency derivatives.
Bob Fitzsimmons, who spent decades in the trading pits and now serves as managing director of Wedbush Securities' futures division, told MarketWatch that his institutional clients don't just want to trade Bitcoin futures — they also desire exposure to large-cap altcoins.
"Clients are asking, 'when is Litecoin, when is Ripple,'" Fitzsimmons said in a phone interview, adding that the new product class does not feel like a passing fad.
"The launch reminds me of the U.S. Treasury market in the 1970s," he continued. "Back then the prototypical floor guy was an Ivy League athlete. Today it's a quant guy with his own algorithm that can beat the market."
As CCN reported, the first regulated US Bitcoin futures contracts launched in December, first on CBOE and later on CME. Volume has remained thin relative to the global spot markets, but the futures markets have been orderly and have cycled through several contract expirations without major incident.
CBOE Prepares to Roll Out More Cryptocurrency Derivatives
CBOE executives have not been shy about their desire to roll out more cryptocurrency futures, which they see as an opportunity to increase their share of the derivatives market. The exchange operator had said that it wanted to upgrade its trading software before it launched further cryptocurrency derivatives products, and it announced on Tuesday that it had completed this process.
Meanwhile, other major exchange operators, including Nasdaq, are reportedly planning to list their own Bitcoin futures products. Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman said in January that the exchange's plans are still in the "exploratory phase" and that it desires to structure its Bitcoin futures product so that it is "more of an investment" than the ones currently available on CBOE and CME.
However, some institutional firms have expressed reservations about the development of cryptocurrency futures products, and — responding to these critics — the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has said that it will implement a "heightened review" process for new cryptocurrency derivatives products moving forward.

Pir Mehr Ali Shah is awell-known spiritual personalityand an intellectual Islamic scholar of the Muslim world. His love for Allah and his Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was an integral part of his temperament from the beginning. It was due to his love of Allah and his Prophet ﷺ that he was able to achieve higher status of Ma'rifat (Sufism).
"Avoid extremes in religious as well as worldly matters, for peace and salvation lie only in following the middle path"
Being a highly ranked spiritual personality, it was his belief that Spiritual elevation does not give any one a license to ignore the Islamic Shariah. Indeed, the higher a person goes on the spiritual scale, the greater should be his observance of Shariah. Similarly he had firm faith that one should carry on one's legitimate business in life, and should consider Allah at the same time to be omnipresent and All-Seeing.
In the light of above mentioned quote, we can see that he had simplified the complicated issues of modern society and it was because of his insight and cognition of the essence of sufism. There are lessons for our youth to follow.
Peace and harmony are the basic ingredients to make our society a Nobel and healthy one. However, to promulgate these, the character of a person matters a lot. Similarly, we have lost the element of spirituality in our lives andnowadays it is a dilemma that our young generation has a very little knowledge about the real meaning of spirituality.So, it can be deduced from the above discussion that spirituality provides the base for other three pillars of peace, harmony, character building.


Holy crap! Now I have something to obsess over this morning. I'm already in love with Will.
I believe its supposed to come out Fall of 2010?! an exact date is not set yet. That seems SO far away!!!
YAY! I just devoured (sp?) that whole website! I love that there is going to be a love triangle...and did anyone catch that she let on to Tessa's special power already?
I've been checking it out myself... I'm very pumped about it being set during Victorian era in London. Sounds awesome!!
Not sure if I did Jes, what do you think she has?!
"a girl with an unusual power — the power to change her appearance and disguise herself as anyone"
I meant to add earlier I like how she used the word Pandemonium again. As in the club Clary & Jace first met... and now way back in time as some sort of club or fraternity.

New paper explains solar amplification mechanism controlling North Atlantic climate
A new paper published in Annales Geophysicae finds another solar amplification mechanism by which solar activity controls sea level pressures, mid-tropospheric geopotential heights (which in turn controls the lapse rate and surface temperatures), the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and atmospheric circulation in the North Atlantic, as well as the Pacific/North American pattern. The authors
"concentrate on the Northern Hemisphere and North Atlantic in the period 1948–2012. Composite and correlation analyses point to a strengthening of the North Atlantic Oscillation and weakening (i.e. becoming more zonal) of the Pacific/North American pattern. The locations of points with lowest and highest sea level pressure in the North Atlantic change their positions between low and high solar activity."
and discuss in the conclusion the potential solar amplification mechanism:
"The solar effect on atmospheric circulation in the North Atlantic can be described as a tripole mechanism. During solar maximum conditions the differences between the Icelandic Low and Azores High increase, while the Greenland High decreases. Solar minimum conditions reinforce the high pressure above Greenland together with a weakening of the other two North Atlantic pressure centres."
The paper adds to over 200 others published since 2010 alone which explain numerous mechanisms by which tiny changes in solar activity may be amplified to large-scale changes in atmospheric circulation and climate change. In addition, many papers corroborate solar control of the NAO found in this paper, which may in turn be the primary influence upon Arctic climate and Arctic sea ice extent.

Abstract. We analyse the response of sea level pressure and mid-tropospheric (500 hPa) geopotential heights to variations in solar activity. We concentrate on the Northern Hemisphere and North Atlantic in the period 1948–2012. Composite and correlation analyses point to a strengthening of the North Atlantic Oscillation and weakening (i.e. becoming more zonal) of the Pacific/North American pattern. The locations of points with lowest and highest sea level pressure in the North Atlantic change their positions between low and high solar activity.

Sunshine Coast Council CEO, Michael Whittaker, left, shakes hands with Mayor Mark Jamieson.
Why Mayor and CEO's office spent an extra $6m
Scott Sawyer
19th Nov 2019 1:18 PM
SUNSHINE Coast Council says a multi-million-dollar increase in expenses of the Office of Mayor and CEO is due to a staff reshuffle.
The recurrent gross program expenses for the Officer of the Mayor and CEO increased from $12.229 million (total expenses of $7.263 million) on June 30, 2017, to $18.548 million (total expenses of $11.166 million) by June 30, 2019.
The figures were included in the council's 2018-19 and 2017-18 annual reports.
By June 30, 2018, gross recurrent expenses had increased to $15.667 million (total expenses of $8.777 million).
The total expenses figures were calculated after the elimination of interfunction transactions from the recurrent gross program expenses.
A council spokesman said the Office of the CEO comprised different functions at June 30, 2019, than what it did at June 30, 2017, as "a result of an organisation realignment adopted by council in September, 2017".
The spokesman explained a departmental reshuffle had caused the increase in expenses.
"The increase in expenses between those two years is primarily due to the transfer of the corporate governance branch, communications branch, the strategic property team and the major projects functions from other areas of council into the Office of the CEO," the spokesman said.
"There were corresponding reductions within the Business Performance (Corporate Services) and Economic and Community Development (Economic Development and Major Projects) groups."
At last week's ordinary meeting in Caloundra council CEO Michael Whittaker told the gallery the council had almost a quarter of a billion dollars cash at bank at present.

DEBUT OUT ON FEBRUARY 23rd, 2018 ON earMUSIC.
This is the question that formed and influenced WE SELL THE DEAD, this is the question that made the band.
Revolving around Niclas Engelin (In Flames, Engel), Drömriket's Jonas Slättung, Gas Lipstick (former HIM) and the voice of Apollo Papathanasio (Spiritual Beggars, Firewind), WE SELL THE DEAD go beyond the strains of conventional storytelling and create a multi-media experience of premium quality heavy metal music embedded in visually stimulating and atmospheric visuals created by Dan Lind.
WE SELL THE DEAD's debut album "Heaven Doesn't Want You And Hell Is Full" is going to be released on February 23rd, 2018 on earMUSIC.
Despite a reference to Victorian times, We Sell The Dead maintains a very modern and ever-so-current approach that translates to the world we live in today.
We don't know 100% who he was but we know his horrendous deeds. All the visuals we had in our mind, combined with the sometimes slightly morbid lyrics, made us think that this is what music would have sounded like if heavy metal had existed in the 19th century, or if Jack the Ripper had travelled forward in time to join a metal band. We Sell the Dead would have been his natural choice for a backing band. He probably would have felt right at home with us.
But, at the same time, the world hasn't exactly evolved into a beautiful place since the 1880's.
"Heaven Doesn't Want You And Hell Is Full" is going to be released on February 23rd, 2018 on earMUSIC as CD, LP and Digital.


When students see technology as an instrument for goofing off, playing games, and chatting with their friends, it can become a distraction in the classroom rather than a tool for powerful learning. That potential for distraction, just one of the challenges of using technology in the classroom, can lead to frustration for teachers, resulting in giving up on classroom tech altogether.
Such was the case at Timilty Middle School in Roxbury, Massachusetts, one of 100 Verizon Innovative Learning schools (VILs) around the country. Some seventh graders at Timilty were not engaged in the lessons teachers planned with iPads and were off task, or choosing to surf the internet instead. Others were simply not bringing them to class at all, leading to frustration among their teachers.
Instead of unilaterally putting a policy in place, DiPietro collaborated with seventh grade science teacher Eggy Alper to devise a solution. Together they developed a special iPad plan for those students who misused their devices, creating a contract with the student and the parent.
With the new policy in place, DiPietro and Alper began focusing on meaningful activities on the iPads that engaged the students, using apps like Nearpod and Quizlet—where the students have an interactive virtual experience..
It's just been this ripple effect—the kids are bringing their iPads, they're asking to do more engaging activities in other classes, and I think that's motivating the other teachers.
Alper also began to feel more confident using technology as she continued her sessions with DiPietro and became more familiar with the tools she had at her disposal. Having a knowledgeable Coach who can help educators use the right app or tool to enhance a lesson is very important.
"Ms. DiPietro has been a very good resource for me," she said. "I float ideas to her and she researches them. For example, when students didn't respond well to an app, I went to her and told her my idea and she right away gave me a list of apps that I didn't have before. Now I just go to her list and find the right app.
Alper's success has had a positive impact beyond her own classes, as other members of the seventh grade team have seen what can happen if they use the iPads for engaging lessons. "They're feeding off her energy, and it's just been this ripple effect—the kids are bringing their iPads, they're asking to do more engaging activities in other classes, and I think that's motivating the other teachers," DiPietro said.
Coaches like DiPietro play a very important role in helping teachers learn to design engaging lessons for powerful technology use in the classroom. They are a key element to the VILs program. In Timilty's case, a collaborative solution to challenges faced by the seventh grade teachers was sparked by one teacher changing her practice, inspiring her peers and engaging students.

Highbanks Marina & Campresort - Wag!
Looking for a deluxe camping spot close to Orlando and the Space Coast? Well look no fur-ther than Highbanks Marina and Camp Resort! Perched on the banks of the St. John's River in DeBary, FL, Highbanks has all the mod cons a pup and their person could ask for. You and your pup will have access to hot showers, full RV hookups (including 30 and 50 amp electricity, water and sewage), and laundry facilities. There's even a dog park where you can let your buddy lose the leash, and there's a country store on-site, so there's no need to waste precious luggage space on provisions. Not only that, but Highbanks is in a seriously pretty spot. The property is wooded, with ample opportunities for wildlife viewing, and some sites have waterside views.
You and your pooch are sure to sniff out something to do during your stay! Avid anglers will no doubt be keen to cast their line into the river, and there's a small fry pond and a fish cleaning station on-site. Non-furry family members are sure to appreciate the pool, horseshoe pit, and billiard room. The Swamp House Riverfront Grill serves up some mean seafood, and they welcome wagging tails outside. Highbanks also does pontoon rentals -- make sure your doggo is wearing a life jacket if you plan to head out on the water!
You'll also find plenty of op-paw-tunities for adventure in the surrounding area! You're just a forty-five-minute drive away from Orlando, and seventy-five minutes away from Cape Kennedy. Hound-dog hikers might also want to explore the trails at nearby Wekiva Springs or Blue Springs State Park.
Of course, all this comes at a premium. Highbanks charges $48 per night for a standard RV site and $65 for the larger "SuperSites". The resort is pretty paw-pular year round, so it's best to make your reservation early.
WiFi is available at Highbanks, and most cellular networks should receive decent coverage. Campfires aren't permitted, but feel free to bring your own grill! One further note -- there are some breed restrictions, so contact the resort before you go to make sure your pupper is welcome. Remember to bring waste bags for your four-pawed pal, and have a furrific time!


Our Team is really happy!

Cinema Politica's newest network acquisition, Hernán Zin's BORN IN GAZA, presents a simultaneously beautiful and terrifying vision of how the lives of Palestinian children were viciously disrupted by the Israeli military's 2014 "Protective Edge" campaign.
Zin follows the lives of ten Gazan children who struggle against enormous political, economic, medical, educational, and familial obstacles to make their lives endurable. The recurring motif of displaced families attempting to return to and rebuild their homes is inextricably interwoven with the children's new living conditions. Some are forced to work miserable jobs to support their families, and some are too physically or psychologically traumatized to help as much as they would like.
BORN IN GAZA sidesteps the knee-jerk partisan politics of mainstream media representations of Palestine/Israel by focusing on the touching immediacy of the children's dire conditions. Whether mourning lost friends and family, lamenting the area's undersupplied medical system, or criticizing Hamas and Israel for failing to provide their promised assistance, Zin captures the stubborn persistence of the children's dreams of a better life through compassionate interviews and poetic cinematography.
Already tremendously successful in Spain where it was produced and at international festivals, BORN IN GAZA's powerful narration and its tragic-yet-inspiring subjects make the film a welcome addition to the Cinema Politica Network. This artful documentary is also a perfect candidate for any events being organized for Israeli Apartheid Week everywhere.
