Imagine that you have been blindfolded and lead into in an art gallery.
You are positioned very close to a painting, so close in fact that the only thing getting in the way of you being physically merged with it are a few particles of nitrogen and oxygen.
Your blindfold is removed and after a few seconds you realise that in such close proximity, your vision is a little blurred so you edge a few centimetres back. Now you can see the definition of brush strokes that allow for the separation of one colour to the next.
A further step back reveals more detail, but you are still left guessing – is that part of an arm or a leg? Are they in a field or is it green carpet? What are you actually looking at?
It takes for a good few more steps back to see not only the subject and form of the painting, but also the enormity of it.
Now, with more distance between you and the painting, you can begin to understand what the artist was trying to portray and have clarity on the picture as a whole. You also notice the colour of the wall behind it, it's placement on that wall among others on display, the presence of other visitors to the gallery and the size of the room itself.
You have found yourself to have a truer and more complete awareness of the painting in not only its own context, but that in which it sits.
All of this can be said for our own painting: our mind.
It is full of colour, complexities, thoughts, emotions, tasks and responsibilities and when we stand too close to it, we find it far too challenging to try and understand it and see it for what it really is.
When we experience overwhelmingly strong emotions such as stress and anxiety, we are standing too close to them. When we can't prioritise our to-do list, we are standing too close it. When we feel we cannot cope with our day, we are standing too close to it.
With practice, we can learn to take a step back and observe our own painting without controlling it or judging it. Just accepting it for what it is.
Mindfulness March: What Kind of Practice?
Formal practice comes as mindful meditation, where we take a set amount of time out of our day to selectively tune into our mind (or painting, if you will) and observe what we find there. This can help us to gain a clearer perspective on our thoughts and feelings and set clear intentions for the day ahead.
Informal practice is applying a mindful approach to any of our daily tasks so that we have a greater awareness of our experience of that task whilst doing it; really observing the taste and texture of a meal we are eating for example, really focusing on a conversation we are having, really focusing on the email we are writing.
When we do this, we not only find ourselves having a more enjoyable experience but a more productive one too.
We will come on to productivity, and the necessity for it in our day and age, but first let's look at the main anchor for mindfulness – the breath.
Both formal and informal practice is initiated by getting in touch with a single act – the movement of our breath. By becoming aware of our in-breath and out-breath, we actively slow down our heart rate and subdue reactions from our central nervous system.
This allows us to take a 'step' back from our mind and the intensity of the thoughts or feelings that may exist in it.
Whether you do this for ten minutes each morning, or in a series of short 'awareness breaks' throughout your day, it will help you gain greater clarity and control over your day as it unfolds.
You will be able to pace your workload better and increase your productivity as you will reduce the amount of distractions that may attempt to draw your focus away from a task in hand.
Mindfulness March: How Will This Help?
By improving your focus, clarity of thought and reducing reactivity, mindfulness will help create better internal conditions for performance. By having a truer awareness of your own painting, you will find that stress will not get so much in the way of this performance.
Sometimes you have to slow down to speed up. By cultivating a greater bandwidth for paying attention, not only will your clients and colleagues benefit, but also yourself. It's a win-win.
To truly believe in something, we have to experience it. So how about setting yourself a mini challenge and try connecting with your breath in any moment over the next week when you feel overwhelmed? See if you feel more grounded and more able to prioritise your workload, and lifeload, afterwards. Three minutes will do the job, who hasn't got three minutes to spend on themselves? Think more mindful, less mind full.
"Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it," Sharon Saltzberg.
Welcome to week two of Mindful March, where we look at definitions of mindfulness, some science behind it and how it can help you.
Hands up now, who could relate to the morning as described last week? From the second we open our eyes in the morning, we invite an overload of information in.
First thing, you have exposure to social media, news headlines, emails, filling yourself with quick a breakfast fix as opposed to really fueling yourself for the day ahead… When are you able to take a moment to connect with how you are really feeling and thinking in the present moment? And if you did, what difference would it make?
Mindfulness is the opposite of autopilot mode: it is about experiencing the world firmly in the here and now. It puts us in a 'being' mode, rather than a 'doing' mode and offers a way of freeing us from automatic and unhelpful ways of thinking and responding. The word 'respond' is key here as it replaces an autopilot 'reaction'. The latter is the one that leads to regret on many an occasion!
Mindfulness is a state of 'being' achieved by focusing your awareness on the present moment or activity, while calmly acknowledging and accepting your feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations. I like to think of it as putting some space and silence in between those thoughts and feelings, a pause that allows us to take a step back from the intensity of them and see them for what they are – simply a 'thought', or a 'feeling'.
It also encourages us to not define ourselves, or others, by emotions that we experience. Have you ever found yourself saying "Oh he is just an angry man" or "I am just an anxious person"? We unfairly label people or ourselves by habitual traits.
This does not give room or space to be anything much different from which we have been categorised. Mindful practice opens us up to accepting that thoughts and feelings come and go, and that in between them we have space to breathe, to simply be.
Mindful March: Can it really help?
It's not a complicated answer, it's 'yes'. For those of you that need evidence, mindfulness is backed by science. The most interesting and dramatic research has come from the field of neuroscience.
A recently published study investigated the concentration of brain grey-matter in participants over an eight-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Programme (that's MBSR to you and me). The study showed that after the eight weeks, there were significant increases in grey-matter concentration in brain regions involved in learning and memory processes, emotion regulation, self-referential processing and perspective taking. Now, who doesn't like the sound of that?
So how do we do it? You will have to wait until next week for that bit. We will look at formal and informal practice of mindfulness and how to integrate it into your life. If you need some convincing that it is possible, then bear with, the proof will be in the mindful pudding.
For many, November has become the month to release the hairy beast that is the moustache. Queue 'Movember'.
Following in short succession is 'Decembeard' where, you guessed it, the participant men folk can reenact Mr Twit and delightfully extract a cornflake (or should that now be a Kale flake?) from his newly unleashed beard. Great for the charities who often benefit from money raised, but much to the chagrin of many a partner and, of course, Gillette.
The pun on a month's name then evolved onto 'Veganuary' and of course 'Dry January'. The latter of the two saw a shift from participants signing up for a charitable cause or to raise awareness, to one that consciously invests in oneself for the month. By abstaining from alcohol in January after the indulgence of Christmas, we not only allow our bank balance to replenish, but also our liver to reset and rejuvenate.
Continuing along the theme of dedicating a month to 'oneself', we bring to you Mindfulness March.
Once a week, we will publish mindful tips with the aim of unveiling the many benefits that come from mindful practice. In this busy world with escalating levels of stress, anxiety and lack of equilibrium in work/life balance, there needs to be a shift in a broad level consciousness that reconnects us with our innate ability to self soothe and weather all storms.
Mindfulness March: What's it All About?
So what IS mindfulness? It has become a bit of a buzzword of late and is perhaps dangerously teetering on the edge of falling into the same fad box as quinoa (don't get me wrong, I have nothing against quinoa aside from it's base line complete lack of flavour) but, as with quinoa, do people really know it's value? Do people REALLY know the cerebral nutritional value of mindfulness?
It's Monday morning and your alarm is going off. Without even being physically aware, you reach for the snooze button whilst attempting to focus your eyes on the digitally displayed time. UURGH. You immediately slip back into sleep until seven minutes later when the alarm once again snaps you out of the unfinished dream. Press snooze for second time. Third time round you register that you do in fact have to wake up so you reach for your phone.
You get out of bed, unaware of an already reduced opinion of self, and put the kettle on before heading to the bathroom. Finish in bathroom then go to put kettle on and realise that kettle is already on and "Oooh, don't remember doing that….".
After getting dressed, you have five minutes left before leaving for work to scoff down some cereal or toast and when you've finished it, you realise that you have absolutely no idea what that breakfast tasted like – how cold it was, how warm it was or even if the milk was slightly off.
You make it to the train station and then wonder if you locked the back door, or even the front door for that matter. The train pulls into the platform and out comes your phone again – queue Google search of 'next UK Marathon'.
Does any of that sounds familiar to you? I would be surprised if it didn't, because in modern society, our brain has evolved to predominantly work in autopilot mode. We have such increased responsibilities and commitments in comparison to our flint-slinging, significantly more hairy cave dwelling ancestors (prehistoric Movember?), and our long evolving grey matter has learnt how to multitask to cope accordingly.
Whilst this can make us have a broader overview of the multiple 'to do' lists in our life, does it actually help us to enjoy each of those moments? Do we truly experience our world around us? Is our mind capable of finding calm and clarity in situations and provocations that can at present, incite in us behaviours and words that we later regret?
The answer is yes. Give it some time and lots of practice, and you will find that without question, mindfulness will help you experience your life to its fullest. Accepting life with all of it's complexity, experiencing it without judgement, and embracing all learnings that come from its hardships – after all, I have never met a strong person who has had an easy past.
January - Was it really the time for resolutions?
Cast your mind back, it's New Year's Eve. For some, this is going to be the last night of alcohol indulgence before we attempt 'dry January'. Perhaps we have allowed ourselves some time during the Chrimbo Limbo (27th-31st Dec) to think about, and even discuss with friends and loved ones, our new year's resolutions. Tomorrow these WILL begin. In the meantime, tonight WILL be a good night - it has to be, right? It is New Year's Eve, after all.
But then reality bites; The cab is late. The rain flattens your freshly balayaged blow dry. You queue outside your new year's venue for two hours in -1 degrees. Midnight strikes as you finally reach the club cloakroom. Your espresso martini costs £18.00 so it ends up being the first of only two for the night. You wake up on 1st January with the hint of the flu and by 6pm it has taken full hold of your body. A week passes and now that you are finally back at work, the external darkness at 7am is so uninspiring that you find yourself longing for the emergence of springtime.
The end of January comes and you get frustrated that those resolutions, those good intentions, just simply haven't come into play. We look for reasons why - ' I had the flu', 'I was too tired', 'the detox exhausted me'....we might find ourselves feeling disillusioned, unmotivated and annoyed that we hadn't yet started that great new big idea or health kick. Fundamentally, we feel pressure. You are not alone; according to a study by The University of Bristol, 88% of people who set New Year's resolutions fail, despite the fact that 52% of those questioned were confident of success at the beginning. So why is this?
Why do we set ourselves the bigger goals and aspirations at a time when, quite frankly, we'd rather stay in bed with a good movie and our inevitable fluffy Christmas socks? Essentially, why January?
The whys and where-fore's have strong religious roots. Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of each year that they would return borrowed objects and pay their debts. The Romans began each year by making promises to the god Janus, for whom the month of January is named. In the Medieval era, the knights took the "Peacock Vow" at the end of the Christmas season each year to re-affirm their commitment to chivalry. These do all tie in with the turning of the new calendar year and in this way creates a natural opening for new beginnings. However, I don't feel there is the recognition that, most certainly in the Northern hemisphere, it just does not work with our climate or our body's connection to it.
The problem, in my opinion, is timing. How many seeds grow in the UK in January? How many of our wild creatures choose January as the month to hunt and gather? The answer is very few, and I think the plants and animals have it right - January is the time to hibernate and reflect. It is not conducive to form great plans and initiate new projects in the month that sees the least daylight, the most illness and is, quite frankly, the least inspiring.
So how about we start a movement – 'Spring Resolutions'. Let's work with nature, and our inherent connection to it, by planting the seeds of our new ideas and resolutions at the same time we see bulbs emerging from the soil and new leaves growing on those tree's. Greater motivation and productivity will surely ensue if we do.
But let's keep it real. Through the evolution and popularisation of 'new year's resolutions', the true essence of it has been lost. It has been supersized into setting goals that might be unrealistic even in the peak of summer, let alone the darkness of winter or emergence of spring. It started more simply and accessibly. The true resolutions start within, by connecting with our gratitude for what we already have and for those with whom we share love.

The Suez Canal fiasco could disrupt supplies for months to come
The quarter-mile-long container ship that's been blocking the Suez Canal for nearly a week has been dislodged, clearing the way for hundreds of waiting vessels to begin transiting the vital trade artery.
But that doesn't mean the crisis is over for companies that rely on timely deliveries of raw materials, parts and products. Even before the Ever Given ran aground, supply chains were stretched to the limits, making it much more expensive to move goods around the world and causing shortages of everything from exercise bikes to cheese.
There are now 367 vessels — including 35 crude oil tankers and 96 container ships — waiting to use the canal. When traffic starts moving again, it will take days to clear the backlog, further delaying goods on their way to customers.IKEA told CNN Business last week that the blockage could "create constraints on our supply chain," depending on how long it takes to free the Ever Given."We can confirm that there are containers with IKEA products on vessels that are waiting to make passage and resume course towards destinations via the Suez Canal," a company spokesperson told CNN Business."We will consider all supply options available to secure the availability of our products," the spokesperson added.
Maersk, the world's largest container shipping company, has three vessels stuck in the canal and another 29 waiting to enter. More are expected to arrive later on Monday.
The company has already redirected 15 vessels around the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa, adding days and cost to their trips.
Maersk said that it could take six or more days to clear the backlog of ships at the canal after the Ever Given is freed, depending on safety and other factors. And the knock-on effects for business will last much longer."Even when the canal gets reopened, the ripple effects on global capacity and equipment are significant and the blockage has already triggered a series of further disruptions and backlogs in global shipping that could take weeks, possibly months, to unravel," the company said.
Hedge fund failure slams Credit Suisse and Nomura
Major global banks could be hit with billions of dollars in losses after a US investment firm was forced to dump shares last week, reports my CNN Business colleague Jill Disis.
Nomura and Credit Suisse (CS) said Monday that earnings might take "significant" hits after a client of their broking services defaulted on margin calls last week, roiling Wall Street. Shares in both banks plunged on Monday, wiping billions of dollars off their market capitalization.
If a client can't put up cash to meet a margin call on its account, the broker can dump shares the client holds instead. That appears to be what happened last week.
Neither bank identified the client that defaulted on the margin calls but Bloomberg and other media outlets said Archegos Capital was at the center of the storm.
Archegos could not be reached for comment on Monday and its website could not be accessed.
According to Bloomberg, which cited anonymous sources, ViacomCBS (VIACA) and Discovery were among the companies hit by the forced liquidation: Shares of each plunged more than 27% on Friday.
Credit Suisse said in a statement that a "significant US-based hedge fund" failed to meet its margin commitments. It said the default affected "certain other banks" as well, though did not name them."Following the failure of the fund to meet these margin commitments, Credit Suisse and a number of other banks are in the process of exiting these positions," Credit Suisse said."While at this time it is premature to quantify the exact size of the loss resulting from this exit, it could be highly significant and material to our first quarter results," the bank added.
Nomura said its losses could be as much as $2 billion, attributing the hit to "transactions with a US client." Asked for further detail, the company declined to comment to CNN Business.
"Nomura is currently evaluating the extent of the possible loss and the impact it could have on its consolidated financial results," the company said in a statement.
Nomura's shares plunged more than 16% in Tokyo, the stock's worst day in at least 20 years. The move wiped more than $3 billion off its market value. Credit Suisse shares fell by about 9% in early trading, also wiping about $3 billion off its market cap.
What happened when Amazon and Netflix came to India
Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon (AMZN) gave daring Indian filmmakers hope. Now that's turning to fear, my CNN Business colleague Diksha Madhok reports.
Increasing government scrutiny of projects funded by Amazon and Netflix is worrying many creators in Mumbai, the home of India's film industry.
Original shows on Amazon Prime and Netflix have lately drawn ire from Indian politicians and regular citizens who consider these films and TV shows insensitive to cultural and religious beliefs.
Police complaints have piled up against creators and company executives, and some of the offenses they have been accused of — including committing "deliberate or malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings" — carry prison terms of up to three years, a fine, or both. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has announced new rules and guidelines for streaming services, though no explicit bans on particular themes.
India's creative community now fears that streaming services may buckle under the pressure, and refrain from touching stories that are even remotely controversial. Check out the full story here.

Dry eye, Feature, Report, Therapies
Optimel secures its niche
rhiannon bowman August 20, 2020, 8:58 am August 20, 2020 742
Anthony Moloney is CEO of an Australian company that produces preservative-free dry eye treatments..
In Part 4 of Insight's dry eye series, Melcare Biomedical CEO Anthony Moloney reveals how his company's Australian-made product has proven to significantly reduce the severity of dry eye symptoms when compared with a conventional ocular lubricant – and hints there may be further therapies on the horizon.
Since its launch in 2015, homegrown dry eye treatment Optimel Manuka has firmly fixed its place in Australasia, seeing Melcare become one of the leading local manufacturers in chronic dry eye therapeutics. Now, its success is beginning to turn heads in overseas markets, with its introduction to Europe in 2018 and plans to start exporting to the US by October this year.
Available in eye drops for day-time use, or gel for night-time use, Optimel has carved a niche in the dry eye market by staking a claim in the middle-ground between lubricants and more invasive procedures.
Developed using proprietary pharmaceutical grade honey from Leptospermum spp (available in Australia and New Zealand), Optimel eyecare treatments are effective as adjunctive therapies for meibomian gland dysfunction, reducing conjunctival and lid margin redness, and improving meibomian gland secretion quality.
Mr Anthony Moloney is CEO of Queensland-based Melcare Biomedical, which manufactures Optimel products. He has been a key driver in medical honey research since 1992 and says the therapy has been well received since its introduction to the Australian market five years ago.
"There are not many therapeutic agents available for treating dry eye; only lubricants, short-course steroids or short-course antibiotics. Apart from lubricants, these aren't long-term options," Moloney says.
"Optimel fits in between a lubricant option and interventive dry eye treatment. It can compete directly with more serious interventions but it's not a drug, not an antibiotic, and not steroidal. It's in the middle-ground. And there are lower risks of complications from long-term use, unlike antibiotics or steroids."
Moloney's assertions have been backed in new Australian research data that has highlighted scientifically significant beneficial properties of pharmaceutical grade honey in managing dry eye, with improvements observed within 28 days.
Published in the British Medical Journal, the research determined that Australian-made Optimel Dry Eye Drops containing manuka honey are more effective for the treatment and management of dry eye compared with other forms of eye drops.
A double masked research study coordinated by researchers from UNSW Sydney randomly assigned 46 study participants living with mild, moderate or severe dry eye. Participants either received Optimel Dry Eye Drops, containing manuka honey, or a conventional ocular lubricant containing polyethylene glycol as a control.
Study lead, Dr Jacqueline Tan, says the study compared the effectiveness of both products. After 28 days, 42 study participants (21 in each group) completed the study, with researchers determining tear film evaporation rate showed a significantly greater reduction with the formulated eye honey drop, when compared with the control.
"After 28 days of treatment, tear film evaporation rate was significantly reduced, that is improved with the formulated honey eye drop compared with the control eye drop in our study. In addition, a greater reduction in dry eye symptoms was observed with the formulated eye drop in the study population," Tan says.
Supporting Optimel's niche position in the market, Moloney says clinical studies like the one conducted by UNSW are important for product credibility.
"UNSW initiated this study, but the first clinical work goes back to 2005 with Dr Julie Albietz. There is also a clinical study involving Optimel underway in Hong Kong at the moment, but it's progress has been interrupted by COVID-19," he says.
Manufactured in Queensland, made with Australian honey, Optimel is available in pharmacies and supplied to ophthalmologists and optometrists through local distributor, Designs For Vision.
The product, which has European conformity assessment certification, has begun to pick up global interest because there aren't many alternatives on the market, Moloney says.
"Severe dry eye is debilitating, profound for someone who has suffered for many years. In her recent research, Dr Tan cites statistics from the Vision Eye Institute that the prevalence [of dry eye] increases with age, with around 50% of Australians aged 50 and older living with dry eye," he says.
With ATRG inclusion and suitability for long term use, the benefit of Optimel over lubricants is evident in Dr Tan's research data showing that the severity of dry eye not only reduced, but the tear film stability improved with Optimel Dry Eye Drops.
Melcare Biomedical Pty Ltd is an Australian company that produces preservative-free eye gel to provide relief from dry eye symptoms.
"We now meet FDA OTC marketing requirements and expect to make Optimel available to the US in the coming months. It's an important step for us."
Melcare is also planning to release a new product later this year.
"We've got a new product coming out for eyelids – an emollient cream to apply to eyelids – to help manage seborrheic dermatitis often associated with blepharitis. It uses 16.5% manuka honey and will be distributed to ophthalmologists and optometrists to prescribe."
Moloney is hopeful it will be available on the Australian market in September.

KEEP IT SECRET
Military Academy Buried Trump's Academic Records: WaPo
President Trump's wealthy friends and fellow alumni of the New York Military Academy reportedly told the superintendent of the school to bury his academic records after he challenged Barack Obama to release his in 2011. The Washington Post reports the alumni told then-superintendent Jeffrey Coverdale to hand over Trump's records, but Coverdale said he refused. Instead, he took the records and secured them so no one else could have access. "I moved them elsewhere on campus where they could not be released," he was quoted as saying. "It's the only time I ever moved an alumnus's records." At the time, Trump was reportedly considering challenging Obama in 2012 and had suggested that Obama was not qualified to attend Columbia or Harvard—where he went to undergrad and law school. According to the Post, Trump even said he'd donate $5 million to charity if Obama would release his college transcripts. Trump has reportedly boasted about his academic success, although he never released any records to back those claims up. Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, told Congress last week that the president had previously ordered him "to threaten his high school, his colleges and the College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores."

Over at MSNBC, Steve Benen contends that Republicans, poised to take back the House next year, keep promising to impeach Joe Biden but "haven't quite worked out" why. As a big fan of impeachments and congressional investigations, I may have some helpful ideas.
In his conduct while president of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. has shown a habitual contempt for the rule of law, on numerous occasions willfully violating his constitutional oath by corrupting and manipulating the power of the executive branch.
Take the eviction moratorium. The Supreme Court explicitly ruled that the plan "exceeded … existing statutory authority." Biden even conceded that the "bulk of the constitutional scholarship says that it's not likely to pass constitutional muster." And yet, knowing all this, the president decreed it so, openly ignoring the Constitution, admitting to cynically exploiting the slow pace of judicial branch rulings "to keep this going for a month, at least — I hope longer."
Biden again knowingly subverted the will of Congress when he transferred loan payments for millions of affluent students to taxpayers in hopes of affecting the 2022 midterms. The president does not possess the statutory power to "forgive" or "cancel" loans. Just ask congressional leaders like Nancy Pelosi, who correctly noted that "[p]eople think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness — he does not." He did it anyway. Unilaterally. The president used the emergency powers found in the HEROES Act, passed after 9/11 to help U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, to justify his decree. We know that Biden cynically exploited the bill, because, by his own recent admission on "60 Minutes," he concedes there is no emergency.
Let's hope that Republicans don't limit themselves to a presidential impeachment, either. There might be numerous reasons to investigate Attorney General Merrick Garland, but none deserves more scrutiny than his role in chilling dissent by intimidating parents who opposed critical race theory and Covid mask mandates.
In October 2021 the National School Boards Association sent a letter to the Biden administration requesting the FBI investigate school board protests, offering a handful of alleged acts of criminality as justification to treat millions of parents as potential "domestic terrorism" threats. The letter uses this phrase (twice) to provide the administration with the justification to trigger a PATRIOT Act investigation. Then again, all of it was coordinated. We learned later, through a FOIA request, that Education Secretary Miguel Cardona had likely solicited and helped with the verbiage of the letter. Garland, who regularly ignores violence and threats directed at conservatives, acquiesced and directed the FBI and U.S. attorneys' offices to investigate parents.
The NSBA later apologized. The Biden administration, which regularly libels millions of political opponents as would-be violent extremists, never did.
Not every investigation leads to impeachment, sadly. But that doesn't mean the GOP shouldn't scrutinize whether the president benefited financially from his brother's and son Hunter's leveraging of the family name and the United States government to extract millions from Chinese and Ukrainian energy concerns—for which there is plenty of circumstantial evidence. We already know Biden lied about the extent of his knowledge regarding Hunter's "work." And, in a functioning democracy, it is imperative we know everything about the president's finances.
While they're at it, it would also be nice if we could learn more about the chaotic and inept Afghanistan pullout that left 13 service members dead and thousands of Americans stranded in theocratistan. Did Biden dismiss intelligence reports warning about a swift collapse of our Afghan allies for political considerations? Why did the administration mislead the public about the number of citizens and green-card holders who were stranded? We have yet to hear a coherent explanation for why the administration handed a list of allied names to the Taliban. Nor do we know the story behind that face-saving drone strike that ended up killing 10 innocent Afghans, seven of them children. Let's find out.
Maybe they could also get to the bottom of the FBI's role in limiting speech on social media platforms during the 2020 election. The White House, after all, has proven to be quite comfortable attempting to dictate speech. In July 2021, the White House admitted it was "flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation." The White House not-so-subtly threatened social media platforms to suppress certain political opinions and stories. Under what constitutional power does the president get to dictate what should be considered mis- or dis-information? And under what power does Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas get to create an Orwellian "Disinformation Governance Board?" How pervasive is the law enforcement agency's contact with media companies?
If you, like me, believe in the unencumbered free-association rights of everyone, including tech companies, you must be really curious why these corporations, which drop tens of millions every year in lobbying for favorable regulations, allow the state to dictate speech codes. Then again, all of this sounds semi-fascist-y. I'm unsure how impeachment plays in the polls. But, for the survival of democracy, we need to get to the bottom of all of it.

Text: Ian Paisley: 1926-2014 Ian Paisley, former leader of the anti-gay Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland, has died from cardiovascular complications at eighty-eight. In this column, I will review his controversial life and political career. Born in 1926, Paisley was always a fiercely sectarian fundamentalist Protestant. Earning a theological 'doctorate' from a US fundamentalist theological college, he founded his "Free Presbyterian Church" in 1951. During Northern Ireland's "Troubles" and civil war between Northern Ireland's nationalist Protestants who wished to remain an integral part of the United Kingdom, and the predominantly Catholic Irish Republican Army (IRA), Paisley remained intransigent, opposing successive peace treaties between the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (1973, 1985), until an enduring peace deal was finally struck in 1998. After the onset of the "Troubles," Paisley founded the Democratic Unionist Party in 1971, as protest against the 'establishment' Ulster Unionist Party, which tended to be more strongly allied to the Conservative Party in mainland Great Britain. Over the decades, the DUP has steadily eroded the UUP's voter share in Northern Ireland, under a Single Transferable Vote form of proportional representation for its elections to Westminster. After final peace was negotiated in 1998 and the IRA laid down its weapons, Paisley resolved his differences with his former Catholic adversaries, eventually even serving as Northern Ireland's First Minister (2007-8) in a power-sharing arrangement with former Sinn Fein adversary Martin McGuiness. Thereafter, Paisley's health began to deteriorate. He resigned as Democratic Unionist MP for North Antrim in 2010 after forty years in office, was hospitalised for cardiovascular problems in 2011, gave his last ministerial oration in 2012 and died on Friday 12 September. Oddly enough, despite adamantly anti-Catholic apocalyptic conspiracy theories about the role of the Vatican in Irish and global politics, Paisley agreed with conservative Catholics when it came to issues such as opposition to abortion rights and the decriminalisation of male homosexuality. In 1977, Paisley was the ringleader behind formation of "Save Ulster from Sodomy" campaign which lasted until 1982. Over five years, it (unsuccessfully) fought the extension of the UK Sexual Offences Act 1967 and its partial decriminalisation of homosexuality to Northern Ireland. After Dudgeon versus Northern Ireland (1982) in the European Court of Human Rights, however, it finally lost as the Thatcher administration (!) presided over decriminalisation at long last. As time went on, so did legislative reforms- with the advent of the Blair administration, antidiscrimination legislation and civil unions spread to Northern Ireland, while Ulster's LGBT communities won inclusive adoption reform in the courts. Meanwhile, though, the DUP-led Stormont devolved Northern Ireland Parliament is stonewalling over the uptake of civil marriage equality and reduction of blood donation ban tenure. Since Paisley's ebb from power, the Democratic Unionist Party has provided an amusing sideshow of hypocrisy. Paul Berry, an ex-DUP council candidate, was caught literally with his pants down in a compromising position with a gay masseur in a Belfast hotel. And then there's Iris Robinson, former DUP MP and adulterous spouse of Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson. Iris (58) was found to be carrying on with young Kirk McCambley (21), former butchers apprentice and cafe owner. Amusingly enough, this occurred at a time that Iris adamantly trumpeted her opposition to LGBT rights and support for pseudo-scientific "exgay" "reparative" therapy. Paisley is survived by his wife Eileen and their children.

THAT'S NOT MY DOG. Starring: Shane Jacobson, Robert Mond, Paul Hogan, Fiona O'Loughlin, Michala Banas, Steve Vizard, Paul Fenech, Khalsa Khalafalla, Hung Lee, and 21 others. Directed by Dean Murphy. Rated M (Coarse language and crude sexual humour). 87 min.
This Australian comedy film, with an unusual title, is written and directed by comedian, Dean Murphy, and celebrates Australians' love of joke-telling.
The film focuses on Shane Jacobson who decides to throw a party at his house to do "something special for his dad". Shane decides to invite his mates, and they are the funniest people he knows. Thirty comedians line up for his party, and in the movie they tell their favourite jokes. The party-goers are drawn from Australia's theatrical stage, cinema, and television.
Many of the comedians and comediennes featured in the movie have been associated with well- known, loveable Australian movies, stage productions, and television programs. Shane Jacobson, for example, iconically starred in the film, "Kenny" (2006). Paul Hogan ("I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie") is famous for his lead role in "Crocodile Dundee" (1986), and Michala Banas and Khalsa Khalafalla both starred in the popular television program, "Upper Middle Bogan", that takes viewers back to 2013. Hung Lee acted in the 2000 comedy movie,"The Wog Boy" that was produced on the Australian stage four years previously. Interspersed among those who share their comic routines are several well known musical groups in Australia, who play their biggest hits live.
The comedians and comediennes are invited to Shane's party with the explicit instruction they are to come with the funniest jokes they know. The comics share the night with musical groups such as The Black Sorrows,The Meltdown, and Russell Morris that play their favourite hits throughout the party.
Australian comedy is alive and well with these party-goers, and those telling the jokes clearly enjoy the experience of sharing their routines with fellow artists. Not unexpectedly, some jokes are good and some misfire. For the most part, the element that separates them is the crudity of the jokes that are told. Raunchiness is obvious throughout, but the crudity doesn't goes so far as making sure that the viewing of the film is restricted to adults. Nevertheless, some jokes, particularly those with sexual content and which appeal to body humour, could be offensive to some viewers. Most acts make heavy use of personal and intimate material, and none of the jokes aim for political satire. The absence of political relevance could be said to date them.
Putting comedians on the cinema screen, however, allows the viewer to explore personal style in interesting ways. Some deliveries are self-deprecating and completely dead-pan, while others are the opposite, and all performers are confident that their routines will amuse. They clearly enjoy what they are doing, and all are masters (and mistresses) of calculated comic timing. Even those playing with dubious material, time their routines to engender laughter and the audience responds accordingly, as expected, and the camera roams from performer to audience and back again to give us a distinctive large-screen look at the joke tellers' routines and audience reaction to them. One has to be mindful, though, that the members of the audience being filmed in this movie are comedy artists themselves - appreciative, and naturally inclined to be responsive to each other.
It is impossible to say which routines work best. That is too personal a judgement, but for those who like joke-telling, Australian style, the film gives viewers an affectionate and interesting look at personality differences in comic delivery. The film provides us with a collection of comedy artists, and musicians, doing what they do best, and obviously enjoying it. As to the jokes, themselves, there are some gems to laugh aloud at, but they are mixed in with some mean ones.
This film is on very limited release throughout Australia, and the details of screenings need to be carefully watched to catch it.

Koplowitz driven underground with "Red Line Time" 1
Dancegoethe institut metro site-specific dance stephan koplowitz
We received an intriguing note from our friend Stephan Koplowitz, the Bessie-bearing, Guggenheim-garnering, Alpert-awarded choreographer, who is also Dean of Dance of the Sharon Disney Lund School of Dance at CalArts. Despite all of Steve's awards and accolades he's apparently being driven underground. And he seems to like it!
Writes Steve:
I'm proud to say that the LA Metro has granted us one of the first permits to perform inside their walls at all 14 metro stations on the Red Line. The negotiations were a performance unto itself … but the Metro is looking to the future. Of course, it's ironic that after living in NYC for 23 years, it's in LA that I'm making a work in the subways.
Conceived and created by Koplowitz, and produced by the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles, Stephan Koplowitz: Red Line Time is a time/space durational site-specific performance event. It is one of the first performance works sanctioned by the LA Metro to take place inside the metro system. Commissioned by the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles as part of the cultural program supporting the forthcoming conference on urbanism and modernism Re: Street The new science of streets and the form of the Future City, Stephan Koplowitz: Red Line Time spans all 14 stations of the LACMTA's Red Line, (beginning at Union Station and continuing on to North Hollywood).
Audiences are asked to meet at the entrance of the Union Station Metro (east side), and purchase a $5.00 one day Metro "TAP" card, granting access to enter and exit the LA Metro Red Line for the performance duration. Audience members are invited to follow the show as it travels through the Red Line stations.

Now that the Senate Has Passed Landmark Immigration Legislation, All Eyes Are on the House
On June 27, the U.S. Senate passed legislation to overhaul the U.S. immigration system on a scale not seen in decades. Despite this major breakthrough, it is clear that immigration reform faces an uphill battle in the House of Representatives, where the dynamics are much different than in the Senate. This article assesses the prospects for immigration reform in the House, explores provisions of the Senate bill, the implications for U.S. immigration policy of the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act, and more.

As Senate Debates Immigration Reform, CBO and New Studies Examine Effects of Immigration on Nation's Fiscal Health
As the U.S. Senate continues its debate over a bill to overhaul the nation's immigration system, the fiscal impacts associated with enactment of such legislation have emerged as a divisive issue. Following the release of an official congressional cost estimate on Tuesday, this article examines the crucial question of how immigrants' contributions to the tax base compare to the public benefits they would receive under S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013.
The Growing Linkages Between Migration and Microfinance
The expansion of access to credit through microfinance—now a multibillion-dollar sector—has resulted in profound shifts across the developing world. This article, using Cambodia as its example, discusses the ways in which households are using microcredit in coordination with migration, and addresses critical questions about who benefits from these linkages—and what vulnerabilities they might create for migrants.
Filipino Immigrants in the United States
Immigrants from the Philippines made up 4.5 percent of the 40.4 million immigrants in the United States in 2011. Although this population—1.8 million strong in 2011—has grown 17 times its size since 1960, its share among Asian immigrants overall has decreased since that year. This article examines the latest data on Filipino immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.

Why Should You Consider Medicaid Planning?
Before you embark on Medicaid planning, there are a number of factors you need to consider. Medicaid planning is crucial for long-term care as this care option helps many families pay for care that they otherwise can't afford on their own. In order to take care of yourself or your loved ones should long-term care assistance be required, having a set plan in place now can be beneficial for an easy transition into the care system.
One of the best reasons to consider Medicaid planning is if your income is at or well below the poverty line. This is one of the key requirements for Medicaid eligibility. Also, understanding the many aspects of Medicaid, other than the income eligibility requirements, is essential before you embark on planning. An experienced elder care attorney can help you navigate the ins and outs of the process.
If you have good health, then it is probably the best time to start Medicaid planning. Medicaid planning might mean using an irrevocable trust, which would build up a five-year look back in order to qualify for Medicaid. Greater protection and more control are the two main benefits of using an irrevocable trust to provide gifts for your children.
Perhaps you have some money tucked away for long-term care but wish to also seek additional assistance with Medicaid. Working alongside a professional attorney experienced with Medicaid can be helpful for identifying sources of income should long-term care become a necessity. In addition to Medicaid, looking into many different forms of long-term care insurance could be helpful when planning for future long-term care.
The Elder Law Firm PC offers assistance in Medicaid planning for Michigan residents wanting help in paying for long-term healthcare costs. If you have a question regarding Medicaid as well as other long-term care options, please feel free to call us at (877) 933-7252 to learn more about the many avenues you can take to take care of you and/or your loved ones. Residents in the Grand Rapids area can also attend a free seminar led by attorney The Elder Law Firm PC several times a month about Medicaid planning. Call to reserve your spot at this exciting and informative event.

Outlook on 2022
Southside mayors express hope for positive improvement in the new year
January 6, 2022 Jacob Musselman
Compiled by Nicole Davis
Following a bleak and unprecedented 2020, 2021 was a year of picking up the pieces. Continuing that momentum, 2022 is looking good for the Southside. Beech Grove, Greenwood and Southport report positive developments and growth in the works with optimism at the forefront.
Learn more about this past year and the Outlook for 2020:
*Answered by city of Beech Grove Mayor Dennis Buckley
What do you feel was the biggest highlight to the city last year?
There were several highlights:
The Fire Department Fire Suppression and Fire Prevention Division changes to IFD on Dec. 25.
The common council voted to move forward on the construction of a new police station.
The Franciscan Trail is under construction and by year's end will be 80% complete, eight more local roads were paved,
The Thompson Trail construction project was paid for with work set to begin in 2022.
The City received a $600,000 grant from OCRA to upgrade sanitary sewers.
We worked through the COVID-19 pandemic and are back on our feet and we had the first Christmas parade in the city's history.
What was an unexpected joy this past year?
We came out of the COVID-19 pandemic with our staff in place. We became home to several new businesses, and Main Street is striving. It has been a long time since Main Street has done this well.
What was the biggest challenge the city overcame in 2021? How did this happen?
The biggest challenge we overcame in 2021 was bouncing back from the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a city we stayed focused and turned our attention to our employees and their wellbeing. It worked as we have maintained our staffing levels and at the end of 2021, full-time employees were given a $ 2,500 stipend.
What projects are you most looking forward to this year?
Construction of a new police station
Completion of the Franciscan Trail
Construction of the Thompson Trail
Planting additional trees and plants on Main Street
Continue to pave local roads and streets
Prepare the roundabout at 25th Street and Churchman Avenue.
Pick three words to describe your outlook on 2022:
Growing, positive and focused.
The Franciscan Trail is 80 percent complete at the end of 2021. This 2.5-mile trail will run through the city and the parks system, featuring four bridges and five trailheads. (Submitted photo)
Answered by city of Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers
Last year's biggest highlight was the kickoff of the Madison Project. This is by far the largest public private partnership project that the city has ever been involved. It is great to see the growth and the confidence builders have in our city for them to invest in Greenwood with such magnitude.
Our largest, unexpected joy for the year would have been the opening of Old City Park and receiving multiple awards for its design and use. To see so many families enjoying this beautiful outdoor park and being able to go to an outdoor space like this that is safe and healthy always makes me happy.
Our biggest challenge was to keep the city running safely thru the COVID crisis. We were able to do this by having our employees volunteer to help and cover shifts for their sick coworkers. It takes a great team of individuals to offer to step up and help when things are rough, and they did it!
In 2022 we plan on continuing with the Madison Avenue trail program. This will bring the current trail south from Pearl Street. to Main Street. It will then go east on Main Street. to Meridian Street. This is very exciting as it will beautify downtown even more and allow for more and safer walkability. We also plan on starting the sports park on the southeast side of the city that will have four baseball diamonds, four softball diamonds, a splash pad and soccer field. We also plan to open the Fieldhouse, our downtown multipurpose sports facility in the first quarter of 2022.
Hopeful, excited and resilient.

*Answered by city of Southport Mayor Jim Cooney
The biggest highlight for the city was holding city events this year such as the flag retirement ceremony, Fourth of July parade, and Christmas in the Park with Santa.
New Christmas lights along Southport Road and issuing the quarterly newsletter to the residents.
The biggest challenge the city overcame was completing this year's paving project due to supply issues with concrete and asphalt.
The Redevelopment Commission project at the lumberyard location at 2110 E Southport Road. We continue work with the developer to negotiate through several issues but are optimistic we will have a signed agreement by April 2022. The development will be a four-story apartment building with 92-96 apartments – one and two bedrooms. The first floor will also have approximately 2,000 square feet of rentable space.
Hope, progress and improvement.

Q: Xamarin.Forms Cannot call OnDisappearing() I need to just show a message (Under certain circumstance) when I'm leaving a screen.
Found that there's a method called OnDisappearing() that is called when the form is being unloaded (Or also being overlaped by a new one).
What I found:
https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/89563/intercept-page-leaving-event
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/xamarin.forms.page.ondisappearing?view=xamarin-forms
Issue is that if I just copy the code as it is I get an error cause of the override (no suitable method found to override) that won't let me leave the code as is:

*Same happens with OnBackButtonPressed()
Modified it and just left it without the override and it just won't be called by any mean..
protected void OnDisappearing()
{
    Exiting();
}

private async void Exiting()
{
    System.Threading.Tasks.Task tmpShouldExit = Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Hello", "Hi", "OK");
}

Is something I'm missing?
Is there any other method I can use?
Thanks

A: As Jason made me notice.
I was placing this in the ViewModel and it has to be in the code of the View cause you're overriding a Method of the Page.
Then if you want to access a method of the ViewModel from the view you can create a BindingContext to do so:
using MyProject.PageModels;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using Xamarin.Forms;

namespace MyProject.Pages
{
    public partial class MyViewPage : ContentPage
    {
        public MyViewPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            NavigationPage.SetBackButtonTitle(this, string.Empty);
        }

        protected override void OnDisappearing()
        {
            base.OnDisappearing();

            var pageViewModel = (MyViewModel)this.BindingContext;

            if(pageViewModel.CertainConditionShowAlert())
            {
                 System.Threading.Tasks.Task tmpShouldExit = Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Hi", "Hello", "OK");
            }

        }
    }

Film Review: Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter - A True Masterpiece
Jason Parker • April 29, 2012 •
After the axe shot to the head in the closing minutes of part 3, it certainly loooked as though Jason was down for the count, and as with the original film we were treated with another dream sequence chair jumper, this time it being Mrs Voorhees leaping out of the water, but for me the pan in close shot of Jason laying unconscious in the barn was etched in my mind. Then when i was treated to seeing Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter, I was all strapped in for a roller coaster ride of EPIC proportion.
The Final Chapter which was helmed by Joe Zito and came with an all-star cast.... of unknowns at the time and a script that was so cleverly written was bound for success right?....................You Damn Right It Was
This Film had everything that a horror fan could have wanted, a great story which picks up in real time from the events of part 3 and at the same location, to witty humor, to great characters and clever kills. For me every time i pop this movie in, there is never a dull moment.
We get engrossed from the moment we are brought back to Higgins Haven and follow Jason to the morgue, meeting several characters along the way. One character right away that always comes to mind is Axel. Not only is his death sheer brilliance, but who will ever forget his classic line "Jesus Christmas! Holy Jesus Goddamn! Holy Jesus Jumping Christmas Shit!" No matter how many times i watch this film i still get belly laughs from that line.
As the story progresses we meet more of the cast which include soon to be stars Crispin Glover and Corey Feldman as well as many others. While i thoroughly enjoy all the Friday films, i feel like this one took it's time in bringing the characters to us, watching them develop and bringing them to be a bunch of people we cared about and we affected by their deaths. It is akin to the great writing of Joel Goodman. The idea of a kid being the rival to the villain was ingenious and i think Corey's portrayal of the character was phenomenal. Which is why i think this character had continued on in the series and became such a likable character.
The Music which of course is a staple with the Friday The 13th Films, brings us more Manfredini goodness. The powerful stings of the string orchestration is back in full force. With each film we always get something new from Harry Manfredini, such is the case with how the famous "Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma" Sounds to the different themes he provides throughout the film.
I absolutely love the title sequence music starting from seeing the mask with the high string notes to the quiet with Ki Ki KI.......Ki Ki Ki and then the explosion. Simply awesome.
Not only are the characters and the music a hit in this movie, the kills were creative and were so different from each other. There was lots amount of blood to go around and the man himself, Jason Voorhees was in full bad ass mode thanks to Ted White.
I can't say enough good things about his portrayal as Jason Voorhees. From the stance, to the walk, to the run and the head tilt, all done with perfection. While all actors who assumed the role of our fave killer, i feel along with the fan fave Kane Hodder, Ted White brought something special to the role. There was definitely something about him and the previous portrayals. He was more menacing, more calculating and even more intelligent. Setting up traps and scares for his victims to lead them to their inevitable death was outstanding.
From ripping the electrical box off, to nailing Crispin Glover to the doorway for Trish to find showed Jason being methodical and toying with the other characters. Ted White truly made Jason scary and menacing and will always be one of my fave Jason's.
Like all Friday films the endings always had a final battle which ended in Jason being brought down, but i would have to say out of all of them The Final Chapter has the greatest finale to Jason. When i first saw Jason take the final hit and then drop to his knees you just knew it wasn't going to end well for him and we were treated to one of the most spectacular special effects deaths Courtesy of Tom Savini and his crew. The build up to this was so perfect that the whole death sequence was the perfect punctuation. I don't know if this type of impact for a final confrontation between a character and a villain will ever truly be replicated.
As for the ending i will say this, now having the original theatrical ending and the alternate ending which was released on the deluxe edition dvd, i will say that if they had left it in i think it would have been that one good final scare to complete the film. I only wish that it had the accompanying music score and audio track to go with it's debut on the deluxe dvd. It would have made for one hell of an ominous sequence followed by the theatrical ending with Trish hugging Tommy and then the blank stare into the camera and then the fade.
Nonetheless, this film for me is a true masterpiece and shows that with the right person directing, a good cast of characters, a solid script and the right person to play the villain you can make a film that will stand the test of time in the horror genre. For me this is without a doubt one of the greatest Friday films to have ever been made.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Machetes

The Brady Campaign: New Morning Routine
Aside from our shared passion for video production and high-quality storytelling, many of us at Artex have something else in common: we have young children. It's a very real fear of ours that we live in a world where an active shooter might make their way into our kids' schools.
As a video production company, we sought to talk about this issue in a broader and more personal way.
We came together to create a short film about the need for common-sense gun reform.
We were adamant that this project not be released until we had partnered with a gun control lobbyist who could help us position our short film to make a true impact.
We were fortunate to find a partner in Brady: United Against Gun Violence, a US nonprofit working diligently to advocate for gun control. For many years now, they've been working to control gun violence by getting the Brady Plan enacted, which will rely on funding from congress in order to conduct research on how gun violence can be considered a national health issue.
Going back to our roles as parents, we were eager to show how gun violence affects our day-to-day. Instead of focusing on national news incidents, we wanted to talk directly to the parents who may not believe that shootings could happen in their neighborhoods.
We wanted to ask what the fear of gun violence would make us to do ensure our children were protected?
The film would focus around a regular morning routine between a father and his daughter. However, there's a caveat: each morning, before she goes to school, he puts a bulletproof vest beneath her clothes.
Our goal was to bring gun violence into the normal, into the mundane. The feeling we wanted to evoke is that, as parents, we may feel complacent, but injecting a bulletproof vest into an everyday task can shake us into facing reality.
Our creative approach involved an improvisational conversation between our actors, a handheld camera, and no music. Using natural, regularly-occurring elements like the sound of laundry in the wash and the drip of brewing coffee set an anticipatory tone, giving viewers the uncomfortable sense that dread was just around the corner.
Two truly talented actors helped us juxtapose an intimate family moment against a very real nightmare that exists in our every day.
With the final scene, we hoped to put the viewer in the shoes of the father, driving the feeling that they were watching their own child go out into an unknown world, not knowing what would happen next. The resulting anxiety would hopefully inspire the viewer to act on gun violence and not sit by in complacency.
Our film, New Morning Routine, was at the center of The Brady Campaign's 2019 outreach efforts.
At the annual Brady Action Awards Gala in Washington DC in November of 2019, the New Morning Routine film was played, viewed by guests including Nancy Pelosi, Bill Clinton, Bryan Cranston, Mike Thompson, Lucy McBath, Ted Deutch, and more members of congress.
That same month, on the 13th of November, Congress passed $25 million in funding for research on gun violence, to be shared by the National Institute of Health and the CDC. This marks the first time in almost 25 years that the US government will research gun violence as a public health matter and will hopefully work to prevent and reduce more gun violence in the future.
The American Advertising Federation gave our film an overall Best in Show honor during its awards gala in Miami in 2020.
Artex – our Los Angeles-based video production company – was responsible for the conceptualization, scripting, treatment, production, and post-production for this project. We have enormous gratitude for the generous equipment and time donations from the crew who made this possible.

15 types of distorted thinking, 11/15: Global Labelling
Three ways we all Global Label and why it causes so much pain.
My supermarket stocks rotten food at rip-off prices. A person who refused to give me a lift home is a total jerk. A quiet guy on a date is labelled a dull clam. Our boss is a gutless imbecile.
Each of these labels may contain a grain of truth. Yet it generalizes one or two qualities into a global judgement. The label ignores all contrary evidence, making our view of the world stereotyped and one-dimensional.
Labelling occurs when we may already have a pre-conceived idea about something and then take flimsy evidence to prove it's correctness. It leads to an "I told ya so" attitude, sullenness, withdrawal and anger.
Sitting on feelings like this that leads us to massive anxiety as the feelings can't be tolerated. We fret that we will mess up, that others will let us down and or that our stereotypical fear will be experienced.
We can do this in three ways. We can global label ourselves, other people and groups.
Just like previously discussed with filtering, when we globally label ourselves we take one thing we have done or said and draw sweeping conclusions about it.
If we forget someone's birthday we are the most inconsiderate person in the world. A missed penalty in a football game and we are just the worst player on the team.
In this distortion we take the convenient wedge of what happened and use it as a stick to beat ourselves. Inner critics love to label us as all or nothing caricatures. We didn't go to the gym: we must be fat, ugly, lazy slobs.
Sometimes this can even have a secondary gain as it then allows us to behave in ways associated with the label. For instance, we get down about not going to the gym and turn to the ice cream instead.
But it is all just emotions and black and white labelling of ourselves. We mightn't see the 20 not lazy things we did that day.
In the personal realm global labelling is bread and butter for the inner critic and causes untold damage.
Labelling also occurs in our relationships with other people and cause harm. We might label our partner as unloving or not caring because in one moment they don't listen or know what is going on with us.
We can take this "evidence" as proof that they don't care. But we filter out the 100 other things that would say that they do.
Global labelling of others often is the acting out of our fears and prejudices. Again, if we are fear that someone is going to leave us we attach a label onto them following short interactions.
If we think they are going to leave, cheat, betray us, we label them cheaters, leavers and betrayers when we get the slightest sniff of that behaviour.
We can turn on friends, siblings, family members and colleagues in the same way when we choose to swiftly apply absolute labels to them.
The classic one here is to global label a group of people or an organisation. Humans have been doing this as long as there have been other humans. We blame immigrants, other sexual orientations, other sections of society and other genders as being all or nothing of some kind of label.
We can claim that: "oh everyone from there is nasty". "Anyone who goes to that pub is tacky". "The people who work in that place are crazy". The list is endless yet we all do it to a certain extent.
The thing that can cause anxiety is when we demonise groups of others to the point where we lose seeing their humanity. We become intolerant and feel that we don't have to treat them with the same respect.
Any incidents that play into our pre-conceived notion become further proof of the whole groups rottenness.
Pain magnet:
But am I not sometimes right? I am lazy, they are going to leave and that group is dangerous?
Sometimes we can get a gut feeling and be right, but also sometimes we attract what energy we put out into the world. If we berate ourselves for being lazy we won't feel much like being proactive. If we push others away with accusations and demanding behaviour they will leave. If we treat others differently and without respect they will react to us. These are just facts.
Labeling is a cognitive distortion because one moment, one action or one comment doesn't define the totality of anything! To think so is awfully reductionist and fuels and maintains awful emotional pain and mistrust. It keeps us stuck in a dark reality and a corner that we have painted ourselves into.
We set tests for ourselves and others that often can't be passed. We trigger ourselves into feelings of worthlessness, sadness, hopelessness and my favourite: Anxiety! Global labelling is unhelpful, illogical and outright damaging. Time to drop it!
Drop it: Be specific
Global labels are usually false because they focus on only a single characteristic or behaviour but imply that it's the whole picture. Rather than applying global labels, it is better to limit our observations to a specific case. Asking ourselves if a case is always true, or only true now, or only true some of the time.
With others consider the behaviour we have the problem with, not the person. It becomes much easier to discuss with someone and solve an issue when we look at the issue in the behaviour. If we scream at someone they "don't care", they find it very hard to say anything nice back to us. If we say "I didn't feel very cared for just now with that behaviour" it allows them to not feel labelled and attacked and to respond with empathy.
Again, like Parent-Adult-Child discussed before don't attack. Don't say she/he is an @X%*, or is behaving like an @X%*. State how we are feeling right now (I am feeling unsupported, unloved, hurt, etc.) and what we would like to feel instead.
Remember also that in any interaction we need to look at what role have we played in this too? Although it might only be a small one, through discussion you might find a better way to handle it going forward. One I was thinking about is getting offended a partner is not listening as we tell them about our day.
A global labeller might conclude they don't care about me and go through intense emotional pain. Yet a discussion about how the behaviour impacted us might lead to a mutual understanding and practically moving forward. For instance, an agreement that in future each other's day is discussed at dinner rather than in bed when the other partner who is up early is falling asleep.
Describe the behaviour:
In any situation we should objectively describe the behaviour to ourselves that we are noticing. "they spoke to me harshly", "I failed the test", "the bank employee was of no use". By using this more objective language less feelings should be stirred.
If we label and describe it otherwise we opening ourselves to huge hurt and pain. A pain that is most likely familiar to us.
The core of any global label is often a painful emotion that we hold already. It may be sadness, fear, anger, shame, etc. If we global label in my experience it is a projection of our own feeling which we can't tolerate.
The fear becomes racism. The pain/sadness/rejection becomes labelling others. The anger becomes turned inward and labelled on ourselves. This can happen 100s of ways and is completely personal.
The answer is to know our own emotions better. Get in touch with what is going on in our body. When we let ourselves down or someone else does, go into how does this feel and is it familiar? My guess would be yes if the labelling is recurrent.
If the same type of people keeps upsetting us or we keep attacking ourselves then something unresolved there is playing out. Until we sit with that, befriend it and learn to shift it we are going to repeat patterns of labelling and remain stuck.

Q: FinderSync appex not installed I have an application that implements a FinderSync app extension. The problem is that on a customer computer, it seems that FinderSync is installed only after Finder is restarted, but not before. The customer has osx El Capitan(10.11.2).
I have a screenshot from that customer with the application running, but finder extension not installed in System Preferences->Extensions
I also have a log file where I logged the output of the following command:
pluginkit -m -A -i com.xxx.xxx.xxx -v

which returns
(no matches)

The thing is that this happens only on that machine, all other machines we are testing on are working fine: the extension is loaded immediately after the application is opened.
Do you know why Finder does not load the appex immediately after application is running?
Is there a way to avoid this behavior?
Thanks!

A: You got to look in the System.log file for plugin com.xxx.xxx.xxx invalidated.
If you see that, it means that the system has kicked out your plugin. You can just re-add then.
I'm currently looking into why mine get's invalidated.


What can one do with tons of cut stones in a 900 sf space?
The olive trees were the focus of two projects, enclosing their roots in stone retaining walls. The second floor bedroom now opens onto a stone patio with cascading stairs down to the garden, the perfect place for a morning coffee. We had our amazing contractor Trindade and Duarte build stairs, retaining walls and raised flower beds.
And then there is the garden. The coup de grace. It is stunning what artisans can do with stone. Just think of the dollars you saved by not having to bring it in or have it removed. Much better to enlist local stone masons/builders to build something that will last another 800 years.
Your vision, capability and capacity to give this ruin new life is most admirable. Heck, my shower light bulb has been out for two months.

HARMONIZED SYSTEM CONVENTION
Bhutan Customs Administration became a contracting party to the HS Convention on
27-10-2006 and entered into force on 01-01- 2007
The Contracting Parties to this Convention, established under the auspices of the Customs Co-operation Council,
Desiring to facilitate international trade,
Desiring to facilitate the collection, comparison and analysis of statistics, in particular those on international trade,
Desiring to reduce the expense incurred by re-describing, reclassifying and recoding goods as they move from one classification system to another in the course of international trade and to facilitate the standardization of trade documentation and the transmission of data,
Considering that changes in technology and the patterns of international trade require extensive modifications to the Convention on Nomenclature for the Classification of Goods in Customs Tariffs, done at Brussels on 15 December 1950,
Considering also that the degree of detail required for Customs and statistical purposes by Governments and trade interests has increased far beyond that provided by the Nomenclature annexed to the above-mentioned Convention,
Considering the importance of accurate and comparable data for the purposes of international trade negotiations,
Considering that the Harmonized System is intended to be used for the purposes of freight tariffs and transport statistics of the various modes of transport,
Considering that the Harmonized System is intended to be incorporated into commercial commodity description and coding systems to the greatest extent possible,
Considering that the Harmonized System is intended to promote as close a correlation as possible between import and export trade statistics and production statistics,
Considering that a close correlation should be maintained between the Harmonized System and the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) of the United Nations,
Considering the desirability of meeting the aforementioned needs through a combined tariff/statistical nomenclature, suitable for use by the various interests concerned with international trade,
Considering the importance of ensuring that the Harmonized System is kept up-to-date in the light of changes in technology or in patterns of international trade,
Having taken into consideration the work accomplished in this sphere by the Harmonized System Committee set up by the Customs Co-operation Council,
Considering that while the above-mentioned Nomenclature Convention has proved an effective instrument in the attainment of some of these objectives, the best way to achieve the desired results in this respect is to conclude a new international Convention,
Have agreed as follows:
For the purpose of this Convention:
the "Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System", hereinafter referred to as the "Harmonized System", means the Nomenclature comprising the headings and subheadings and their related numerical codes, the Section, Chapter and Subheading Notes and the General Rules for the interpretation of the Harmonized System, set out in the Annex to this Convention;
"Customs tariff nomenclature" means the nomenclature established under the legislation of a Contracting Party for the purposes of levying duties of Customs on imported goods;
"statistical nomenclatures" means goods nomenclatures established by a Contracting Party for the collection of data for import and export trade statistics;
"combined tariff/statistical nomenclature" means a nomenclature, integrating Customs tariff and statistical nomenclatures, legally required by a Contracting Party for the declaration of goods at importation;
"the Convention establishing the Council" means the Convention establishing a Customs Co-operation Council, done at Brussels on 15 December 1950;
"the Council" means the Customs Co-operation Council referred to in paragraph (e) above;
"the Secretary General" means the Secretary General of the Council;
the term "ratification" means ratification, acceptance or approval.

So I have this tradition whenever I buy a used game (particularly a cart game with limited saves). When ever the game has all the saves used up, I respectively only overwrite the lowest level/time so as to respect the hard work that the previous owner out into the game. Weird, I know, but that is my way of the gamer ninja.

Q: Displaying oEmbed errors? Sometimes embedding an item via oEmbed is not possible, for example when a YouTube video has embedding disabled. The oEmbed service will return a 401 Unauthorized, and the code will not be converted.
Is there a way to notify the user of this? The current workflow is non-intuitive (at least to me), and I would prefer a message on the WordPress page, or even better, in the editor, saying that the object could not be embedded.

A: Not possible with current code.
WP_oEmbed object goes extra mile (more like miles) to sanitize input so it is either html or boolean false. All errors with fetching are discarded on output, there are no filters in there and only error (hardcoded) it handles is 501 not implemented.
Earliest you can mess with this is somewhere down in HTTP API.
