Car crashes claim lives prematurely — the tragic deaths of teenagers with unfulfilled dreams or families losing a loved one because of someone else's neglect and lack of control.
Every two minutes, one person sustains injuries from a drunk driving crash.
Every day in America, there are 28 people who die because of drunk driving.
In 2013, more than 10,000 individuals lost their lives in drunk driving crashes— that's one in every 52 minutes. In the same year, 290,000 sustained injuries because of car crashes.
Alcohol impairment is not about the type of beverage you drink, but the amount of alcohol consumed over time. Trying to sober up by showering or drinking strong coffee are myths, though; only time can sober a person up.
There are ways to help raise awareness and reach out to affected families; one of them is through donating vehicles to charity.
MADD cares about families and individuals impacted by drunk driving. Our first-hand experience helps us empathize with victims and survivors. By donating your car to charity, we will be able to help people pick up the shattered pieces of their lives and cope with their grief.
We want the untimely deaths of loved ones to end. The funds we collect from donated and auctioned vehicles will go to helping victims and survivors. We want to raise awareness about the pitfalls of driving under the influence.
Through our campaign, we want to reduce the number of drunk driving crashes. We want our roads to be safe for motorists and pedestrians alike.
We can pick up the vehicle from your home or any location of your choice.
We can process your donation fast and pick up your vehicle the next day.
We handle all the paperwork for your convenience.
We accept vehicles in almost any condition.
We appreciate your kind gesture of letting go of something valuable for a good cause. Donating a vehicle to charity is a rewarding experience and a decision you can be proud of. Thank you for choosing Cars for MADD as an instrument of your act of kindness.

The sun is shining, birds are chirping, flowers are beginning to bloom – springtime is finally here! After a long winter spent cooped up inside, you and your dog are probably ready to take on the great outdoors. However, springtime brings a new set of hazards to watch out for to keep your pup safe.
If the change in season inspires you to do a little deep-cleaning, make sure you keep all cleaning products far away from your pets. Dogs are more likely to chew bottles, but even cats run the risk of poisoning by walking through something freshly cleaned and then licking their paws. Even cleaners that claim to be all-natural can contain chemicals that are deadly to dogs. It's best to completely separate your pets from your cleaning area by putting up a safety gate until everything is dry and cleaners are put away.
Having your dog dig up your garden beds might be the least of your concerns. Common flowers such as daffodils, irises, primrose, and geraniums are all dangerous to dogs and when ingested, can cause issues ranging from vomiting to seizures and death. Also, avoid any mulches that contain cocoa shells because it contains two compounds toxic to pups – caffeine and theobromine. To keep your dog out of potentially dangerous areas in your yard, try an Exercise Pen or a Chain-Link Kennel to allow them to enjoy the outdoors while staying safe.
If you think humans are the only ones affected by springtime allergies, think again. Potential allergens are everywhere, from the air they breathe in while taking a walk to the grass they roll around in. Allergy symptoms in dogs manifest pretty much the same way as ours do. If you notice your dog is excessively itchy, licking his paws more, sneezing, has runny eyes or nose, or has unusual rashes, allergies could be to blame. Pick up a medicated dog shampoo that can soothe the irritation. Also, make sure to wash your pet's bedding regularly to avoid a build up of pollen, dirt, or other irritants.
It's hard to think of spring without first thinking of Easter. But remember that what is festive fun for you could be hazardous to your four-legged friends. Chocolate treats are tempting for everyone on Easter, including your dog! Keep the chocolate bunnies and peanut butter eggs out of reach because they can be lethal for pets. While it might feel wrong to sit down to a big Easter feast without sharing your scraps with your pup, human foods aren't always the best idea and can lead to serious digestive issues. While sharing your food might make your dog happy in the moment, you could be in for a, umm, messy evening.

Q: Chef Ruby object and collections I've dipped my toe in chef and am having a few difficulties with what should be simple concepts.
I'm obtains data from a node by running a search; my plan is to iterate over the results and create an object of type X setting its variables as I go.
I'd like to store these objects in a collection so that I can access them later in the recipe to carry out other tasks and so on.
My GoogleFu has so far come up short and I'm worried that I'm tackling this in the wrong way.  My search is fine and returning the values, my separate class is also fine but the storing of these objects into a collection and then persisting that is proving more difficult.  Many posts frown against using arrays for my purpose(if it's possible) and I've not found anything similar to an ArrayList or Map.  Additionally, if I use a ruby collection, does it need to be maintained inside a ruby block?
Thanks for any help / advice.

A: With Chef, you have several ways of storing persistent data:
1) set node attributes
2) chef data bags
3) chef vault
4) environments
5) environment recipes
6) roles
IMHO, you should decide where this data should reside by determining which of the items I listed it belongs to.
What does it apply to? What does it describe?

A: You got to be more specific in where you are actually facing the issue but as far as I have understood why not
just define a ruby class and initialize all the variables you are supposed to get. In the recipe instantiate the object and keep settings its properties from the result. There should be no issue in this approach.
But more importantly what is your use-case here, because you could just define an array attribute and then keep syncing the result in that attribute .  As in ruby Objects are referenced , thus any change you make to resource attributes which takes that object, changes are persistent to in that object.

The rupee rises to 60.12/13 from 60.31/32 on Wednesday, after earlier rising as high as 60.09, a level last seen on April 10.
USD/INR was under pressure as month-end dollar buying by oil companies in recent sessions faded and also due to stronger domestic shares.
The dollar struggled to make any headway early on Friday, still languishing near a three-week trough against a basket of major currencies as investors stay on the sidelines ahead of a closely watched U.S. employment report.
Traders see USD/INR moving in a 60.00 to 60.50 range during the session.

'Star Wars' At Sea: US Navy Ready To Deploy Laser System This Summer
February 17, 2014 by Infinite
US Navy ready to deploy laser system this summer; rail guns aren't far behind
– 'Star Wars' at sea: Navy ready to deploy laser system this summer (AP, Feb 17, 2014):
Some of the Navy's futuristic weapons sound like something out of "Star Wars," with lasers designed to shoot down aerial drones and electric guns that fire projectiles at hypersonic speeds.
That future is now.
The Navy plans to deploy its first laser on a ship later this year, and it intends to test an electromagnetic rail gun prototype aboard a vessel within two years.
For the Navy, it's not so much about the whiz-bang technology as it is about the economics of such armaments. Both costs pennies on the dollar compared with missiles and smart bombs, and the weapons can be fired continuously, unlike missiles and bombs, which eventually run out.
"It fundamentally changes the way we fight," said Capt. Mike Ziv, program manager for directed energy and electric weapon systems for the Naval Sea Systems Command.
The Navy's laser technology has evolved to the point that a prototype to be deployed aboard the USS Ponce this summer can be operated by a single sailor, he said.
The solid-state Laser Weapon System is designed to target what the Navy describes as "asymmetrical threats." Those include aerial drones, speed boats and swarm boats, all potential threats to warships in the Persian Gulf, where the Ponce, a floating staging base, is set to be deployed.
Rail guns, which have been tested on land in Virginia, fire a projectile at six or seven times the speed of sound — enough velocity to cause severe damage. The Navy sees them as replacing or supplementing old-school guns, firing lethal projectiles from long distances.
But both systems have shortcomings.
Lasers tend to loser their effectiveness if it's raining, if it's dusty, or if there's turbulence in the atmosphere, and the rail gun requires vast amount of electricity to launch the projectile, said Loren Thompson, defense analyst at the Lexington Institute.
"The Navy says it's found ways to deal with use of lasers in bad weather, but there's little doubt that the range of the weapon would be reduced by clouds, dust or precipitation," he said.
Producing enough energy for a rail gun is another problem.
The Navy's new destroyer, the Zumwalt, under construction at Bath Iron Works in Maine, is the only ship with enough electric power to run a rail gun. The stealthy ship's gas turbine-powered generators can produce up to 78 megawatts of power. That's enough electricity for a medium-size city — and more than enough for a rail gun.
Technology from the three ships in that DDG-1000 series will likely trickle down into future warships, said Capt. James Downey, the program manager.
Engineers are also working on a battery system to store enough energy to allow a rail gun to be operated on warships currently in the fleet.
Both weapon systems are prized because they serve to "get ahead of the cost curve," Ziv said.
In other words, they're cheap.
Each interceptor missile aboard a U.S. Navy warship costs at least $1 million apiece, making it cost-prohibitive to defend a ship in some hostile environments in which an enemy is using aircraft, drones, artillery, cruise missiles and artillery, Thompson said.
With a laser operating on about 30 kilowatts of electricity — and possibly three times that in the future — the cost amounts to a few dollars per shot, Thompson said.
The "Star Wars" analogy isn't a bad one.
Just like in the movies, the Navy's laser directs a beam of energy that can burn through a target or fry sensitive electronics. Unlike the movie, the laser beam is invisible to the human eye.
The targeting system locks onto the target, sending a beam of searing heat. "You see the effect on what you are targeting but you don't see the actual beam," Ziv said.
Other nations are developing their own lasers, but the Navy is more advanced at this point.
Most folks are stunned to learn the technology is ready for deployment, Ziv said.
"It's fair to say that there are other countries working on this technology. That's safe to say. But I would also say that a lot of what makes this successful came from the way in which we consolidated all of the complexity into something that can be operated by (a single sailor)," he said.

Farage to stay as leader of UKIP after his resignation has been rejected.
Nigel Farage too good a political leader to lose for UKIP. Image: Ukip Facebook.
UKIP has rejected Nigel Farage's letter of resignation and Mr Farage says although he's reluctant to stay he 'owes it to the party' to carry on as leader.
The UKIP politician therefore emerges as the true survivor of the post election cull of opposition leaders.
He announced his rejected resignation on twitter:
[tweet https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/597776646486302721]
UKIP won 13% of the share of the vote in the election held on the 7th May.
A total of 3.8 million votes were cast though only one MP- the Tory defector Douglas Carswell– held onto his Clacton seat to be the party's sole representative in the House of Commons.
UKIP is in 3rd place behind the Conservatives and Labour in terms of all votes cast.
UKIP contested key London marginals and you can find their results from our General Election coverage on our website.
This includes exclusive interviews with UKIP candidates.
Nigel Farage failed to gain the seat he contested in South Thanet.
After his defeat he told the public he had 'never felt happier' and had a 'weight lifted off his shoulders.'
On May 8th Mr Farage said:
I have resigned, I have gone. I am going to take the summer off and enjoy myself for the first time in 20 years. That is what I am going to do.
Building this party from scratch has been something that literally has dominated my life, seven days a week for 20 years.
It has damaged my relationships with business, with family, with everything. I have not had a proper holiday since October 1993.
Steve Crowther, the UKIP's chairman, told the Telegraph:
On that basis Mr Farage withdrew his resignation and will remain leader of Ukip. In addition the NEC recognised that the referendum campaign has already begun this week and we need our best team to fight that campaign led by Nigel. He has therefore been persuaded by the NEC to withdraw his resignation and remains leader of Ukip.
Nigel Farage, before withdrawing his resignation, met with the members of UKIP to clarify they still wished him to stay earlier today.
Nigel Farage said:
There are some huge battles about to take place, and as much as I had thought that taking at least the summer off was in my best interests, I realise now that the party comes before me, and indeed, that this country comes before both.
Before Mr Farage announced to take back leadership of the party he'd recommended Suzanne Evans, the deputy chairman, to head the party until the leadership challenge was complete.
Suzanne Evans said she was 'very pleased' Mr Farage had agreed to remain leader. She tweeted:
[tweet https://twitter.com/SuzanneEvans1/status/597778108880711680]
Many people in the UK have taken to twitter using the hashtag #FarageUnresigns which is now trending in the UK.
Here are some of the tweets:

I have had a report that the performance of this plugin for a SlimServer-powered SoundBridge is less than stellar due to the lack of number buttons on the SoundBridge remote control! Needless to say, but the presence of number buttons on your remote control is something of a pre-requisite for this plugin...!
I suspect that it might be possible to use an alternative remote control with the SoundBridge and SlimServer because the latter has support for adding new types of remote control and the actioning of remote control commands is performed entirely by the server, not the player. I've no evidence of that being successful, though, so you're on your own there, but I'd be interested to hear of any success stories (or otherwise).
I have mixed feelings about enhancing the behaviour of the SoundBridge with this plugin - on the one hand I want to make this plugin as helpful as possible to as many people as possible. On the other hand, however, I'm uncomfortable about supporting Roku directly since I'd rather they contributed to the SlimServer development and put something back for the huge investment made by Slim Devices Inc, than just take it and sell a produce built around it. Most of Roku's users are probably unaware of where the software was actually developed, however, so I'll provide them all the help I can.

Leid Stories - Massive Leak At Nuclear Site 'Anticipated,' Says DOE; Getting Berned: It's Way Past Time to Call Sanders Out - 04.25.16
Paul DeRienzo, who has been reporting on "America's Fukushima"—actual and looming disasters of America's nuclear program and at several nuclear power plants—discusses a massive leak at the notorious Hanford Site, a sprawling nuclear-reactor complex on the Columbia River in south-central Washington state. Regulatory agencies, however, are saying there is no cause for alarm.
Bernie Sanders' insists that his campaign is a "revolution." Sounds great, and he's got millions of votes to back up that contention, but his actions increasingly suggest that it's something else. Leid Stories says it's way past time to call him on it.


Former governor of Abia, Dr Orji Kalu, has urged leaders across the country to use their positions to preach peaceful co-existence among Nigerians regardless of ethnic, religious and political divides.
According to the former governor, Nigerians should embrace patriotism, selflessness and discipline in their pursuits for the sake of rebuilding the nation.
While stressing that Nigeria is better off as an indivisible and united entity, urged the political class not to use sentiments to polarise the country.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Kunle Oyewumi, to mark this year's Eid-el Kabir, Kalu felicitated with the Muslim community across the globe.
Kalu in the statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), urged Nigerians to use the festive period to pray for the country and its leadership.
He said: "I congratulate our Muslim brothers and sisters on the occasion of Eid-el Kabir.
"It is a special season and it calls for special prayers for the country.
"We should use this opportunity to appraise ourselves as individuals and as a people.
"We should exhibit piety, selflessness, patriotism and service to humanity in our activities as enshrined in the Holy Quran.
"Let us respect other people's religious beliefs and by so doing, there will be no rift in the society.
"Nigeria remains a blessed nation owing to its diversity in religion and ethnicity".
The All Progressives Congress chieftain, urged Nigerians to sustain their support for the President Muhammadu Buhari -led administration.
He cautioned politicians against hate campaign, adding that the collective interests of the people must be placed above selfish ambitions.
The former governor wished the Muslim Ummah a hitch-free and remarkable celebration.


Rwanda defense forces today made another deployment of two helicopters and air force crew teams to support peace keeping efforts in the ongoing United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).
The crew is set to land in Juba, South Sudan today and will take a brief stopover at Entebbe airport, in Uganda for refueling and routine flight procedures.
RDF spokesman, Brigadier Joseph Nzamwita said that the deployment is part of the long term plan for Rwanda to support the peacekeeping forces in Juba.
This deployment has come out of the tax payer's money and support of the people of Rwanda. Apart from Ethiopia, Rwanda is second African country that deploys helicopter crews to peacekeeping forces.
"We are proud as Rwandans to be contributing to peace efforts. It is very costly but it is a pride to the people of Rwanda. We are planning to send more two helicopters soon" Col. Nzamwita said.
Nzamwita added that the helicopters and crew members will be responsible for airlifting personnel, cargo and before  the deployment the crew members have been trained in rescue operation missions which is one urgent need in the flood areas of South Sudan.

Q: STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION error occurred when send data from Rust to C# DLL I have been facing an issue when I send the string data from Rust to C# DLL. Rust exe will show the following error.
error: process didn't exit successfully: target\release\test.exe (exit code: 0xc0000374, STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION)
The Rust exe will crash after I sent the data for a few times (No exact pattern).
Below is the code on how the Rust communicate with C# DLL.
extern crate libloading;

fn call_dynamic(arg_1_str: &str, arg_2_int: i32) -> Result<i32, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {

    let arg_1_c_str = CString::new(arg_str_1).unwrap();

    // This is intended
    let arg_3_c_str = CString::new("").unwrap();

    let arg_1_c_char = arg_1_c_str.as_ptr();
    let arg_3_c_char = arg_3_c_str.as_ptr();

    let lib = libloading::Library::new("Test.dll").unwrap();
    unsafe {
        let func: libloading::Symbol<
            unsafe fn(
                arg_1: *const c_char,
                arg_2: i32,
                arg_3: *const c_char,
            ) -> i32,
        > = lib
            .get(b"GetStatus")
            .unwrap();

        Ok(func(arg_1_c_char, arg_2_int, arg_3_c_char))
    }
}

The library that used to communicate with external DLL is libloading.
What could possible cause this error to be happened and is there any way to overcome the issue? Your help is much appreciated.
Note: I have no access to the source code of the C# DLL. Hence, I have no idea what is happening inside.
Here's some Java code that works. I'm trying to do the same thing in Rust:
public interface TestDLL extends Library {
    int GetStatus (String arg1, int arg2, String arg3);
}

public int GetStatusFromDLL (String arg1, int arg2) {
    TestDLL test_dll = (TestDLL)Native.loadLibrary ("Test", TestDLL.class);
    return test_dll.GetStatus (arg1, arg2, null);
}

A: This issue is solved by changing the third argument arg_3_c_str from an empty string to null pointer ptr::null(). The final solution is as below.
fn call_dynamic(arg_1_str: &str, arg_2_int: i32) -> Result<i32, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {

    let arg_1_c_str = CString::new(arg_str_1).unwrap();
    let arg_1_c_char = arg_1_c_str.as_ptr();

    let lib = libloading::Library::new("Test.dll").unwrap();
    unsafe {
        let func: libloading::Symbol<
            unsafe fn(
                arg_1: *const c_char,
                arg_2: i32,
                arg_3: *const c_char,
            ) -> i32,
        > = lib
            .get(b"GetStatus")
            .unwrap();

        Ok(func(arg_1_c_char, arg_2_int, ptr::null()))
    }
}

All credits goes to @Jmb as he pointed out the difference between the Rust and Java implementations.
But, still there is another interesting point to discuss why passing in an empty string instead of null pointer will cause STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION error.

Collective Impact Initiative
In 2009 as the impact of the economic crisis spread, we re-designed the community investment grant process to respond to the critical situation that was unfolding in the nonprofit sector.
We gathered information from the nonprofits themselves about the needs in our community, and our community-based review panel chose 20 organizations that would address those needs with fewer grantees and larger grants.
In 2010, we analyzed what we had learned and the unique mission of a community foundation and decided to take an even bigger step from the traditional, responsive philanthropy of the past. Instead of sending out a Request For Proposal, identifying the priority focus areas of the foundation, and funding the best proposals that fulfilled that criteria, we refocused our unrestricted Community Investment Grants process. We decided to promote and identify community collaborations that build on existing strengths so that we can increase the capacity of local nonprofit organizations to better serve the community.
In other words, we decided that the role of a community foundation is to address larger community issues that require the work of many public and private organizations and individuals to create a systems change or cultural shift that can have a measurable impact on life in Southern Arizona. We believe no single organization can accomplish that goal by itself, but when organizations work together, the whole can be greater than its parts and real change can occur.
We brought together approximately 200 nonprofit leaders to envision what significant community change they would like to see and provided guidance on how to find others to join them in that work. We received 29 proposals and provided planning grants to Collaboration Teams who would partner with us in developing full proposals. One of the unique aspects of this process was that the nonprofit leaders themselves identified the community goals that, in their knowledgeable opinions, should be achieved.
During the planning period, we provided technical assistance both individually and by offering workshops on how to develop a sustainable collaboration and how to evaluate systems change. A Community Investment leadership group met with each of the Collaboration Teams after receiving drafts of their full proposals and made suggestions to strengthen them. Finally, the Community Investment Review Panel reviewed the final proposals and met with each Collaboration Team prior to making its recommendation to our Board of Trustees.
This process does not end with the sending of a check. The Community Investment team continues to work with the collaborations to ensure that they stay on track. There are quarterly learning meetings to exchange ideas and discuss challenges. Foundation board members and liaisons are assigned to each project, and updates are reported regularly.
Highlights from the July 27, 2011 Arizona Grantmakers Forum program "Place-based Philanthropy: Successful examples in Arizona." In this clip, Evan Mendelson of the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona explains their unique approach to funding the City of South Tucson Revitalization Partnership.
AJO REGIONAL FOOD PARTNERSHIP
Lead Organization: International Sonoran Desert Alliance (ISDA)
Ajo is currently defined as a "food desert." Fresh fruits and vegetables are not grown locally and must be brought in from Phoenix. There is a severe problem of obesity and diabetes in the nearby western communities of the Tohono O'odham Nation which was nonexistent in the 1960's when the local diet was based on traditional locally grown foods. Economic development in Ajo has been limited since the mine closed. The Ajo Regional Food Partnership, through a diverse collaboration of groups (Hia C-ed O'odham Alliance, Tohono O'odham Cutural Center & Museum, Desert Senita Community Health Center, Ajo Unified School District, Ajo Community Food Bank, Ajo Community Garden Consortium, UA Pima Cooperative Extension, Pima County Natural Resources Parks & Recreation, Ajo Botanical Company, Pima County Health Department, and Ajo Community Supported Agriculture), intends to address these issues resulting in a sustainable local food system, new community awareness and engagement in making healthy food choices, restoring their rich cultural foods heritage, and developing new food-based economic opportunities for community residents. This means that food would be grown, distributed and processed locally with robust educational support not only for the growers, distributors and processors, but also for the whole community. The result will be improved community health and an enhanced local economy.
Transforms Ajo from a food desert to a desert oasis.
Integrates Ajo and Tohono O'odham food, economic development, health and obesity initiatives Involves all elements of the food system and engages entire community leadership.

Processing – Ajo Cooks
Distributing – Ajo Eats

SOUTH TUCSON REVITALIZATION PARTNERSHIP
Lead Organization: The Primavera Foundation
The City of South Tucson has a rich culture and close-knit multigenerational families but also many challenges. It is one of the poorest neighborhoods in Tucson, with high unemployment and distressed homes. Primavera has been working with the local government to address the poor quality of housing stock in the community and involved a group of local teens from the John Valenzuela Youth Center to carry out a South Tucson Neighborhood Revitalization Survey. With the involvement of other organizations working in the community, such as the South Tucson Prevention Coalition, ASU School of Social Work, Arizona Children's Association, House of Neighborly Services, PRO Neighborhoods, Southside Presbyterian Church,and the City of South Tucson, this project plans to strengthen, expand, connect, and integrate community assets by partnering to create a neighborhood of choice within the City of South Tucson.
Transforms a community with high unemployment, poverty and distressed homes into a city filled with new energy efficient housing, community gardens, active youth and senior groups, and economic development possibilities.
Creates a sustainable, integrated neighborhood community development approach involving government, nonprofits, schools, health organizations, businesses and residents.

ELDER INITIATIVE
Lead Organization: United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona
The demographics of our community are clear: 21% of the Pima County population is age 60+ years of age and the fastest growing segment is 85+. We are an aging community and our older adults want to remain attached to their communities—contributing as they are able and successfully aging in place. In response, United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona, Jewish Family and Children's Services of Southern Arizona, Catalina In-Home Services, Inc., Pima Council on Aging, Interfaith Community Services, a community volunteer, and the UA Arizona Center on Aging will join with other partners to challenge the current paradigm by creating a vision of community revitalization and elder empowerment. By identifying aging resources, expanding partnerships, and building aging advocacy, E.L.D.E.R. will create a replicable neighborhood-based pilot project. They will "engage and empower the older adults across Tucson to create the ideal community in which to live and grow old gracefully." Through consumer choice in aging services and support, affordable and diverse housing options, transportation and mobility, and community self-care support, the E.L.D.E.R. Project will result in better quality of life and improved health and wellness for older adults, and social cohesion for our community as a whole, achieving a "community for all ages."
Transforms older adults into valuable community assets.
Builds neighborhood infrastructure to support older adults to age in their homes.
Creates connections across systems and integrates services to support older adults.

Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND (1890-1981), who conducted a thorough investigation of energy in the healing arts over the course of his 60-year medical career. Drawing on information from a wide range of sources, he found that the Human Energy Field is affected by life experience, diet, trauma and environmental factors.
Energy fields, patterns, and currents exist everywhere in nature. Polarity Therapy asserts that the flow and balance of energy in the human body is the foundation of good health. In the Polarity model, health is experienced when energy systems function in their natural state and flow without significant blockage or fixation. When energy is unbalanced, blocked or fixed due to stress or other factors, pain and dis-ease arise. Blockages generally manifest in sequence from the subtle to the dense levels of the field. Polarity Therapy gently notices and acknowledges the blockages and assists the body in releasing the energy back to normal flow patterns, and maintains the Energy Field in an open, flexible condition.

Depression is the most common disabling illness, affecting over 300 million people worldwide.
Professor Murali Doraiswamy, a brain health expert at Duke University Health System and Co-Chair of the World Economic Forum's Global Future Council on Neurotechnology, has answered questions from our Facebook audience. Important disclaimer: this is not meant to replace advice from your doctor.
To me it's one of the most vital public health challenges for the 21st century — the mind affects every aspect of our body, our physical well-being and our family and social relationships.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a staggering 450 million people currently suffer from mental health conditions, making them one of the leading causes of poor health and loss of productivity worldwide (some 175 million years are lost to disability). Depression shortens one's lifespan and worsens the outcome of common physical illnesses such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease and cancer. So there is really no health without mental health.
Frederick Douglas, the acclaimed social reformer, who escaped slavery, noted that "it is easier to build a strong child than it is to repair a broken man". Ultimately, promoting an environment where people grow up resilient is the best long-term solution.
The way depression manifests itself can be strongly influenced by culture, the environment and the underlying cause. For example, at the turn of the century, depression usually presented with weight loss and depressed people with weight gain were diagnosed as "atypical". Today, symptoms of weight gain and food cravings are far more common symptoms of depression — mirroring the growth of obesity and over-eating in our society.
The two core signs of depression have not changed much since Lincoln's days and include sadness (crying spells, emptiness, loss of hope) and loss of interest in your usual hobbies or activities. Supporting features include guilt, lack of energy, sleeping too much or too little, weight changes, poor concentration, thoughts of death, and change in activity levels. Symptoms by themselves are not enough though — to be diagnosed with a major depressive episode, per DSM-5, the psychiatric bible, one must have five or more symptoms nearly every day for at least two weeks and they must disrupt your everyday functioning.
We don't know the root cause yet but it is likely a combination of psychological, social and biochemical factors. Simplistic theories such as "depression is due to lack of serotonin" are false. While there is a clear biological basis, one cannot underestimate the role of mental factors. That is one reason why hearing the words "I don't love you anymore" or "you're fired" can lead to a complex downward spiral. Does this spiral originate in the mind or the brain?
Treatment with Lactobacillus (the bacteria in live cultures of yogurt) reversed depressive behaviours in a mouse model and in another study, treatment with Bifidobacterium (a common bacterium) was more effective than a best-selling antidepressant at chilling out anxious mice.
Pilot trials of probiotic treatment for human depression are underway and a large study called MyNewGut is mapping which gut bacteria influence brain health and stress response. Savvy entrepreneurs have also set up a national stool bank!
A fascinating array of brain treatments have been tried for depression over the years ranging from surgical re-section of brain regions, total sleep deprivation, fits induced by drugs like insulin or camphor, to the modern day usage of electroconvulsive therapy and transcranial magnetic therapy. Overactivity in a brain region called Brodmann Area 25 has been the focus of much recent neurological research in depression — however a clinical trial to target this hyperactivity with a deep brain stimulator failed. Additional brain stimulation trials for depression are underway.
One exciting advance in the treatment field has been the discovery of a drug which can rapidly improve severe depression and suicidal thoughts — within hours or in some cases even minutes. It is not a cure, and we don't yet know how it acts in the brain — but it works differently from existing pills offering hope it may help those who have not responded to prior treatments. A modified version of this drug, given as a squirt through the nostrils, is undergoing clinical trials to verify these claims.
I agree with the sentiment in your question that we need to do a better job integrating psychological and social interventions into our care models — to truly help people thrive and enjoy a full life.
Depression affects both theists and atheists but initial studies do suggest prayer can be an effective treatment for depression. And there is growing evidence that spiritual lifestyle practices improve not only our psychological feelings but may also impact our genes, stress response, immunity and chromosomal biology. If you are an atheist, then try finding an activity like volunteering that gives you meaning and purpose in life or practice meditation — these can also be equally protective.
Unfortunately, yes. Minor forms of depression can be cured entirely but for more severe forms, the symptoms may return in about 50–80% of people. That is why doctors often recommend continuing treatment for several months after the resolution of symptoms. Addressing risk factors for relapse such as personal stressors and negative ruminations through talk therapy, meditation or lifestyle changes can help.
Studies also suggest that positive psychology activities — such as writing letters of gratitude, counting one's blessings, performing acts of kindness and meditating on positive feelings toward others — can help prevent flare-ups in response to stress.
The noted venture capitalist Vinod Khosla predicts that technology will replace 80% of the time a doctor spends on decision-making, and he has funded a company developing a "smart phone phenotype" for depression based on patterns of how people use their phone. More immediate benefits of technology will be to increase access to counsellors, therapists and doctors for people living in remote areas — through smartphone video chats or messaging. There are also many new mobile apps that now allow patients to track their mood in real-time and send reports to their doctor and also do simple exercises to improve their mood or resilience. MoodGYM is a great example of an easy-to-use program.

Blantyre, March, 25, 2019: Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA) has bemoaned low levels of local research in disaster management that would guide the designing of appropriate policies and interventions.
Commissioner for DoDMA who is also the Principal Secretary, Wilson Moleni said this on Monday during the opening of training workshop for Integrating Disaster and Climate Risk in Existing Higher Education Curriculum for members of the academia from different Public Universities in the country.
"The majority of studies have focused on food security, with very little published on how we can manage the risk of floods and other disasters.
"Further, the level of awareness among the people that are coming out of our schools and university on risk avoidance behaviours has been very limited," he said.
Moleni said the Department decided to interact with the academia in order to sensitize them on disaster risk management and start dialogue that should lead in promotion of practices as well as approaches that would contribute to building the resilience of the nation to disasters.
"As they develop curriculum, we want them to begin to think about disaster management issues and also to do more research about disasters and how the country can manage them.
"We are optimistic that after the training, a lot more papers published about disasters in Malawi and how to reduce these kinds of disasters in Malawi," he said.
Malawi University of Science Technology (MUST) Ndata School of Climate and Earth Sciences (NSCES) Executive Dean, Leonard Kalindakafe said the training of trainers is helpful as it acts as a platform for knowledge exchanging.
"As trainers of trainers we need to be gathering and share and exchange knowledge which will enrich our knowledge on issues of disaster management," he said.
Kalindakafe said the training would help in looking at what sort of research the academia should be doing in the areas of disasters like resilience and vulnerability.
"We really need to find answers as Malawians want to know what is it that needs to be done if cases of flooding and even issues like cyclone which is a new phenomenon to Malawi," he added.
Deputy Executive Director for Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre (ADPC), Aslam Perwaiz said the training of the academia is of great importance on issues of disaster management and resilience.
"During the training, we will be able to help the academia to assess the disaster in different places particularly in rural areas because most flooding impact on the local level.
"Using the Geographical Information Systems (GIS), we will help them to map different areas that will continue to flood now and the years to come," he pointed out.
The training which will run from Monday to Friday has drawn the attention of lecturers from the Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST), Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR) and Mzuzu University (MZUNI) among others.
