The Tomorrowland International Trailer Explains a Whole Lot More than the American One
The international trailer for Tomorrowland is out, and for better and for worse, it leaves the viewer much less mystified than the American trailer:
Tomorrowland - Japanese trailer by charles-madison
While the first trailer only made vague references to Britt Robertson's character saving the world, this trailer explains the concept of Tomorrowland much more explicitly. Apparently, in Tomorrowland, (spoiler!) all the geniuses in the world come together to fix the world's problems, or something to that effect. George Clooney's character seems to be one of these geniuses as well, but Robertson is the "chosen one" because "she hasn't given up."
The only really disheartening part of this trailer was Disney's blatant self-promotion. I cringed a little when they listed "Walt" as a "genius" before, say, Einstein, Mozart, etc. Here's hoping that the movie won't be one long Disney commercial.
But whether you like spoilers or not, this trailer is much more egalitarian than its American counterpart. Where the American trailer placed the focus on Clooney's character, this trailer made it clear that Robertson is the more important character, and prominently featured another female character as well. Once could argue that this isn't about sexism, as Clooney is obviously the more famous actor. But then there's this poster:
[Credit: Disney]
This poster could easily have featured Clooney and Robertson, as that would include the necessary star power and would make the most sense, but instead they featured a young boy for absolutely no reason. Who is that boy? He can't possibly be a significant character if we haven't heard of him so far, which is a clear sign that Disney is actively avoiding placing women front-and-center in their marketing campaign, at least in the US.
UPDATE 3/30/15: The above international trailer was taken down for copyright reasons, so here's another international trailer:
It's mostly the same, except that it does feature that little boy from the poster. It's still an extremely brief appearance compared to Brit Marling, and I still have no idea who he is, but there you have it.
Tomorrowland comes out in theaters on May 22.

The silent chorus.
Just imagine you thought that you had met the man or woman of your dreams. This person was charming and you thought they were the one or perhaps that this was fate; it was just meant to be.
But as the months go by things start to change. Their behaviour towards you isn't the same, they are more critical, more particular about your appearance, what you do, how you do
it, who you see. Time goes by and you feel isolated from your friends and family because that behaviour has now changed to threats, maybe violence and you feel that your identity is all
but gone. But still you stay. Where would you go? Who would help you? You are not worthy.
But you are.
A group of survivors have spoken about their own experiences. In their own words they show that survivors do have a voice and that it needs to be heard. They show that abuse isn't unique or strange but that it is, unfortunately, a surprisingly
common problem in today's society.
The message of this book is one of courage, as with courage comes awareness and an ability to understand what has happened to you and take the steps needed to become a survivor yourself.

Mobilizing for Safer Care in New Jersey
The New Jersey Nurses Union (NJNU), was created by working nurses at Saint Barnabas Medical Center who desired strong representation in all areas of professional concern. Since its inception in 1991, NJNU has proven effective in negotiating their contracts as well as making certain the terms and conditions are upheld. Read More
Maria Refinski, NJNU President
New Jersey Nurses News
NJNU wants to remind our members that any access into a patient's confidential information that is not under your direct care is a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This is a federal law that all health care providers must abide by. No matter what good intentions you may have for looking up any information for a visitor, doctor, relative or friend, the minute you access that information you are breaking the law. When you log onto a computer with your password, everything you do is recorded into the computer's database of the patient's medical record. Violating HIPAA can result in members being disciplined or terminated in worse case, despite your best intended action(s)
Short Staffing Forms
Please continue to send your Short Staffing forms to NJNU, however due to the large amount of short staffing forms that we receive, we cannot respond to each individual form. Each and every short staffing form is addressed by both NJNU and SBMC and MMCSC management.
The purpose of these forms is to provide information for negotiations and arbitrations in regards to staffing issues. Also, by notifying management about unsafe conditions and filing a short staffing form, you can help protect yourself and your license.
Fill out all the information on the Short Staffing Forms. It is important to have the number of staff and the census with every form. For a copy of the form see your Officer and/or Delegate or call the NJNU office at 973-992-6568.
When you have completed the Short Staffing Form fax it to 973-992-8410.
You can also complete the form online. Click on the link Short Staffing Form, fill the form out and click on submit.
Keep those forms coming!
Your Rights
If you are called into a meeting with management and the meeting could in any way lead to your being disciplined or terminated, or affect your personal working conditions, inform management that you request that your Union Delegate be present at the meeting. Until your Delegate arrives, explain that you choose not to participate in their discussion.
You cannot be punished for making this request. If management denies this request and continues to question, it will have committed an UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE, which is a violation of Federal law, and you then have a right to refuse to answer their questions.
Management can not discipline you for such a refusal, if you have followed these steps.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your local delegate.
Many of the nurses at the MMCSC/BHBHC are forced to work without the luxury of a break or lunch during their 12 hour shift due to the chronic short staffing that plagues their facilities. The current staffing issue leaves nurses unable to take full breaks except briefly for the rest room or to get something that they can eat at the nursing station.
Management has stated that if a nurse is forced to eat their meals at the nursing station, that it is not considered a lunch and they would therefore be entitled to their "30-minute" pay.
As a result the following process should be utilized with respects to breaks and/or lunches:
- Contact your Director or Head Nurse, and notify them that you would like to take a break/lunch. If they are able to provide coverage, then you should go. If not, proceed to next step.
- Notify them that you will then write "+30 minutes" on your time card, and then please fill out a short staffing form here.
It is extremely important that every member take their break or lunch if it is offered to you. NJNU understands all of your responsibilities, however your health and well-being is more important to us, being that you can not otherwise provide the quality level of care that your patients deserve.
Should you have any questions concerning this issue or would like assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office or click here.
MMCSC Violence in the Workplace
Nurses, particularly those who work in psychiatric units and ERs, care for patients who are verbally or physically abusive. Nurses at both facilities have been involved in violent incidents, including patients with possession of knives, and even patients who are physically and verbally abusive.
"Recent studies and news reports suggest that when agitation escalates into full blown assault, nurses are often the victims. Accordingly nurses are protesting what they say are inadequate protections in the workplace" (AJN, Feb. 2007).
This article also sites that few nurses file a formal incident report because "they don't feel supported by their managers or administrators when incidents arise and because work pressures don't allow time for staff to report."
NJNU members at MMCSC and BHBHC need to be responsible and file detailed incidents reports with NJNU as soon as possible, so that NJNU can work with management to formulate practices and create a safer work environment. NJNU cannot attempt to fix what we are not made aware of. As the above mentioned article states, "Being assaulted is NOT in our job description!"
Incident reports can now be filed with NJNU by faxing to (732)987-7703 or click here.
For more information regarding this issue please visit: OSHA Guidelines for Workplace Violence.

Last night I was invited to view and listen to a rehearsal for the Latrobe Federal Band. This year they celebrate 140 years, and I was overwhelmed firstly with the quality of the music, and secondly with the family history embedded in this band.
Latrobe Federal Band
by Lorraine McNeair
The Latrobe Federal Band was formed in 1872 by Captain McNee with twelve players, and the money for the instruments and uniforms was raised by bazaars and various other money-raising functions. There are still connections in the present band which go back to that original twelve musicians. Some of the surnames mentioned being involved are Coventrys, Perkins, Clarkes and Hicks.
I talked last night to a young school girl who is the fourth generation to play with the brass band. The president (Kem Perkins) is the third generation to serve in this position and has been president continuously for forty-five years. The Latrobe Band is the oldest, continuously functioning brass band in Australia. It continued to function, with great dedication, throughout the Depression and two world wars, though dwindling to only nine musicians.
On Easter Sunday of this year the brass band will play at St. Luke's Church Service, beginning at 10.30pm before the service begins, and again during the service. Later in the year, on the 9th and 10th November, there will be a band reunion, concert and dinner, at which Vivien Martin, a past Musical Director, will be Guest Conductor.
Xiao Xia Jiang: Musical Director
The present Musical Director is Xiao Xia Jiang, and last night I was highly impressed with her high expertise and energy. She is also a very accomplished opera singer, and I look forward to an opportunity to hear her perform. In 1979 the Latrobe Federal Band toured the United Kingdom, and was asked by the BBC to play a moving rendition of Amazing Grace in honour of Lord Louis Mountbatten who was assassinated whilst the brass band was there.
Of special mention should be that of the late Lou Coventry, who was heavily involved with the Latrobe Federal Band from 1899 when he joined as a boy. He was Bandmaster from 1919 until 1965 when he retired at 76 years of age because of ill-health. He is so revered that the band-rooms, which were developed in the late 1970's with a grant from the local council, are named after him. What a fantastic memorial to a great man and musician. It is said that he conducted the band with one hand whilst playing an instrument with the other!
Latrobe Federal Band: Bright Future
The future looks bright too, with the best Junior Band program in the state. They have a wonderful Junior Band Room, which was developed with generous sponsorship from various organisations.
If you are near the north west coast of Tasmania at Easter (or at any time), and see that the Latrobe Federal Band is playing, be sure to go along and listen to wonderful renditions of music to delight any heart.
Lorraine McNeair is a volunteer with the Latrobe Information Centre. She is a writer, photographer and artist, and is passionate about sharing all the interesting things she knows about Tasmania.

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
"I Always Knew There Was Something Different About Me."
Do you struggle to sit still, focus on a task, tend to interrupt others while they talk, find it difficult to concentrate or act impulsively without thinking things through?
Most of us experience this from time to time, but for a person that has ADHD these behaviours are uncontrollable and persistent. It interferes with their day to day living in such a way that they struggle to learn, form lasting relationships and pursue a career. Attention deficit disorder is also known as hyperkinetic disorder.
Difference between ADHD and ADD
ADHD includes the symptom of physical hyperactivity or excessive restlessness–that's the "H". In ADD the symptom of hyperactivity is absent. Indeed, people with ADD can be calm and serene, not in the least hyperactive or disruptive.
ADHD is presented in three categories:
1. Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation — Symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity but not symptoms of inattention have been shown for at least 6 months.
2. Predominantly Inattentive Presentation — Symptoms of inattention but not symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity have been shown for at least 6 months.
3. Combined Presentation — Symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity have been shown for at least 6 months.
Note for diagnosis
- ADHD must be present before the age of 12 years (even if an adult at first diagnosis).
- ADHD behaviour must also be present in two or more settings for example at home, school or the workplace. Someone who can pay attention at work but is inattentive only at home usually wouldn't qualify for a diagnosis of ADHD.
Symptoms of Hyper-Impulsive ADHD:
- Often fidgets with or taps hands or feet, or squirms in seat.
- Often leaves seat in situations when remaining seated is expected (e.g., leaving seat in classroom or in their workplace)
- Running or climbing in situations where it is inappropriate
- Blurting out answers before hearing the whole question
- Talking excessively
- Interrupting or intruding on others
- Having difficulty waiting in line or taking turns
- Unable to play or engage in leisure activities quietly
- Feeling very restless, as if "driven by a motor", and talk excessively
Symptoms of Inattentive ADHD:
- Not giving close attention to details or making careless mistakes in schoolwork, work, or other activities
- Often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities
- Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly
- Often has trouble organizing tasks and activities, often skipping from one uncompleted activity to another (e.g., fails to meet deadlines; messy, disorganized work; difficulty keeping organized)
- Becomes easily distracted by irrelevant stimuli, like sights and sounds (or unrelated thoughts)
- Fails to pay attention to instructions and makes careless mistakes, not finishing work, chores or duties
- Loses or forgets things needed for a task, like pencils, books, assignments or tools
- Avoids, dislikes or is reluctant to engage in things that take a lot of mental effort for a long period of time
- Is often forgetful in daily activities (e.g., doing chores, running errands; returning calls, paying bills; keeping appointments)
In the above two presentations a person should have 5 or more (6 or more for children and teens) symptoms present to be diagnosed with ADHD.
Symptoms of Combined ADHD:
- A sudden change in the child's life (death in family, divorce, job loss of parent)
- Previously undetected seizures
- Middle ear infection, which can cause hearing problems
- Other types of medical disorder that may be affecting the child's brain
- Learning disability
- Anxiety and/or depression
A person exhibiting hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention are considered to have the combined presentation of ADHD, which combines all of the above symptoms.
For a diagnosis of ADHD, the symptoms must also have appeared before the age of 7 (for childhood ADHD), and have continued for at least 6 months.

Treatment of ADHD
Medication, behavioural therapy, emotional counselling, and practical support will help a person with ADHD cope with the disadvantages of the disorder.
The specific class of medication most often prescribed for ADHD, are stimulants. These are well-tolerated, act quickly (usually soon after a person takes them), and in most people, have few side effects.
These medications only control ADHD symptoms on the day they are taken, so it's important to remember that the disorder is not actually cured. If one medication doesn't appear to be working after a few weeks of treatment, a doctor will often try another medication. This is normal and most people will switch medications to find the one that works best for them at least once.
Stimulant medications commonly prescribed for attention deficit disorder include methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, Methylin) and certain amphetamines (Dexedrine, Dextrostat, Adderall). Methylphenidate is a short acting drug, and in older forms, had to be taken multiple times a day. Longer-acting versions of the drug are now available for once-daily use. Although taking stimulants for treatment may seem risky, there is significant research that demonstrates that when taken as directed by your psychiatrist or physician, they are safe and effective in the treatment of adult ADHD.
The side effects of stimulants may include reduced appetite, headache, a "jittery" feeling, irritability, sleep difficulties, gastrointestinal upset, increased blood pressure, depression or anxiety, and/or psychosis or paranoia. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should talk to your doctor.
In psychotherapy (commonly, cognitive-behavioural therapy for ADHD), the patient can be helped to talk about upsetting thoughts and feelings, explore self-defeating patterns of behaviour, learn alternative ways to handle emotions, feel better about him or herself despite the disorder, identify and build on their strengths, answer unhealthy or irrational thoughts, cope with daily problems, and control their attention and aggression.
Behaviour therapy
Behaviour therapy is focused on helping an individual understand how changing their behaviour can lead to changes in how they are feeling. The goal of behaviour therapy is usually focused on increasing the person's engagement in positive or socially reinforcing activities. Behaviour therapy is a structured approach that carefully measures what the person is doing and then seeks to increase chances for positive experience
Social skills training
Social skills training teaches the behaviours necessary to develop and maintain good social relationships, such as waiting for a turn, sharing toys, asking for help, or certain ways of responding to teasing. These skills are usually not taught in the classroom or by parents — they are typically learned naturally by most children by watching and repeating other behaviours they see. But some children — especially those with attention deficit disorder — have a harder time learning these skills or using them appropriately.
Social skill training helps the child to learn and use these skills in a safe practice environment with the therapist (or parent).
Skills include learning how to have conversations with others, learning to see others' perspective, listening, asking questions, the importance of eye contact, what body language and gestures are telling you.

About Hefner
British urban-folk trio Hefner traced their roots to 1992, when singer/guitarist Darren Hayman met drummer Antony Harding while the two were attending art school in Kent; relocating to London two years later, they later added bassist John Morrison, recording their 1996 debut single "Another Better Friend" just the second time all three played together. The record attracted positive underground buzz, and in late 1997 Hefner signed to the legendary Too Pure label, issuing the limited-edition 10" The Hefner Soul the following spring. After a much-acclaimed single, "Pull Yourself Together," the trio released the full-length Breaking God's Heart in mid-1998; The Fidelity Wars appeared a year later. The new millennium, however, saw a deal with Beggars Banquet, and after much success with the singles collection Boxing Hefner, the band issued We Love the City in October of 2000.
A year later, Dead Media was released, showcasing a lo-fi electronic sound. Sadly, the group was disheartened by the lack of positive reaction to the album and decided to split soon after the album's release. Hayman and Morrison soon formed a new group, the French, and further explored the electronic direction on 2003's Local Information. Hayman soon went solo and later formed another band, Darren Hayman & the Secondary Modern. The Hefner story was completed with the 2006 release of the Catfight compilation, which unearthed two discs of unreleased tracks including an entire album's worth recorded after Dead Media. ~ Jason Ankeny & Tim Sendra

Pleural effusion is the abnormal accumulation of fluid within the chest cavity, which is lined by a membrane -- the pleural lining. This occurs in cats either because too little fluid is being absorbed in the pleural cavity, or because too much fluid is being produced in the pleural cavity. Alterations in the cat's blood pressure and protein content in the blood, or the penetrability of blood vessels and lymphatic function, may contribute to fluid accumulation.
The condition or disease described in this medical article can affect both dogs and cats. If you would like to learn more about how this disease affects dogs please visit this page in the PetMD health library.
Your veterinarian will perform a complete physical exam, with a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, a urinalysis and an electrolyte panel. The bloodwork analysis is the primary diagnostic tool for finding the underlying cause for the pleural effusion.
You will need to give a thorough history of your cat's health, including a background history of symptoms, and possible incidents that might have predated this condition. The history you provide will give your veterinarian clues as to which organs may be involved in the fluid buildup.
A sample of pleural fluid obtained by piercing the cat's chest cavity with a needle will be sent to the laboratory for analysis. The type of pleural fluid withdrawn will enable your veterinarian to diagnose the cause of the pleural effusion. X-ray and ultrasound imaging of the chest cavity are also very helpful in analyzing the causative factors.
A gland that aids in both digestive and insulin functions
Anything pertaining to the blood vessel system in the body
A process in which fluid accumulates in the space between the layers of pleura
Pertaining to the chest
An in-depth examination of the properties of urine; used to determine the presence or absence of illness

Tangail district is located in the central part of Bangladesh. There are various opinions about the naming of Tangail region. Renell showed the entire region as Atiya in his atlas published in 1778. Before 1866, there was no distinct local identity of the region. The name Tangail got familiarity when the sub- division headquarters transferred from Atiya to Tangail in 15 November 1870. The origin of the name Tangail is debatable by historians. Someone think that in the beginning of British era, Mr Tengue established a mill of Indigo between the Akurtakur and Shahbalia Mauzas and made narrow road (Aile) throughout the cultivable land. Civilian called it the Aile of Tengue Shaheb. The word Tangail came form it. Historian Khurram Hossain thinks that Saysta Khan rehabilitated Mughal civilians in the region to protect Freebooters. Their religious personalities of Mughal culture were called Tengaile in their own language. The word Tangail came from the Tengaile.
The region was once under Kamrup ruled named "Vatir Mulluk''. From 10Th to the beginning of 11Th century 120 years long the region was under Paul ruled. Historians think that Sultan Samsuddin Elias Shah (1301- 1322) firstly established Muslim ruled in this region. Kagmari Conference (1957), Sannyasi revolt (1850), Peasant revolt (1858) etc are the remarkable chapters of the region.

This park includes Lower Barron Canyon, stretching along the river outside of Algonquin Park. Around 8,000 years ago the canyon filled to the brim with glacial meltwater as it drained the Great Lakes Basin. The granite cliffs continue to support plants that are relicts from that era. The plants are more at home in the sub arctic, but find the right growing conditions in the cracks, crevices and cool microclimate of the cliff environment. Dry upland forests of red and white pine can be found along the cliffsides. The portion of the river closest to Algonquin Park is bordered by scenic mature, white pine forest on flatter terrain. This section of the river is popular for canoeing and fishing.
Location: Barron River Provincial Park runs from the eastern boundary of Algonquin Park following the watercourse of the Barron River through McKay Township and into Petawawa Township.

Another rough start
The start to this game was eerily similar to Texas and Kansas' last meeting in Lawrence — and not in a positive way for the Longhorns. Turnovers and some sloppy offensive possessions put Texas in an early 9-2 hole. But the Longhorns eventually settled down and were able to take their first lead of the game with just under 11 minutes remaining in the first half. Freshman forward Jarrett Allen threw down a strong two-handed slam dunk to give Texas a 20-19 lead, forcing Kansas to call a timeout.
Allen, Jones carry Texas
You can't help but wonder if Allen is playing his final games in a Longhorn uniform. The freshman forward has grown into a projected first-round NBA draft pick this season.
"I think (Allen is) great," Kansas head coach Bill Self said. "I'm not predicting what's gonna happen, but whenever he comes out (for the draft), this kid's a lottery pick."
Allen looked sharp once again on Saturday against the Jayhawks. Allen, who led the Longhorns with 20 points and 11 rebounds, threw down a few booming dunks and had a big block on Kansas junior forward Dwight Coleby in the paint. Freshman guard Andrew Jones chipped in 18 points of his own. Jones appeared visibly frustrated in the postgame press conference following the game.
"We could've hung around with them," Jones said. "They're not unbeatable. They're a beatable team."
Longhorns outclassed by Jayhawks
The Longhorns tried multiple times throughout the second half to make things interesting but never found enough of a rhythm. A careless turnover, a missed shot or a few Kansas buckets would quell any hope of pulling off a miraculous upset. A rare three-pointer from freshman guard Jacob Young had the Longhorns within five at 56-51 with 10:39 remaining. But it was the closest Texas would get in the second half.
"You got to have a group of guys that really stick their chest out," head coach Shaka Smart said. "I didn't think that our spirit was good enough at that point. And then obviously Kansas made some really good plays."
Kansas fans show up and show out
Jayhawk fans showed up in numbers and made up a decent portion of the announced crowd of 14,111.
Loud chants of "Let's go Jayhawks" and "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" echoed throughout the Frank Erwin Center as Kansas wrapped up a 77-67 win over Texas and a 13th-consecutive Big 12 regular season title. For a few moments, the Erwin Center felt like Allen Fieldhouse.
A new low in a lost season
With the loss to Kansas, Texas has now dropped to 10–19 overall, 4–12 in Big 12 play. The last time the Longhorns lost at least 19 games in a season was the 1983-84 season when Texas finished 7–21 under head coach Bob Weltlich. Saturday's matchup with the Jayhawks symbolized a stark contrast in where two Big 12 programs currently stand.
"We need to take significant steps," Smart said. "Obviously with what (Kansas) has done, they're a cut above everyone else. You look at what they have, you look at what they're doing and you realize, hey, we got a long, long way to go to get there."

On the Blue Parabola blog Keith Casey has posed a question about the motivations for working on an Open Source project - "Why help/contribute to a project? What's your motivation?"
It's a very good question and the answer should sound familiar to quite a few people...despite working on some fun and amazing projects, I had nothing to show for it because all were proprietary and some were even classified. As far as my professional career went, I had nothing to show for it. I had some stellar references and could talk (in vauge terms) about some things but I had zero code.
To fix things, he set about to build his missing portfolio of "show it to anyone" code that he could hand to a potential employer to show the quality of his work. This produced a nice side effect too - an influence for the better on his "real work" at his job (see this article for more info on that effect).

I took part in a discussion last night among my fellow adoptees who are in the same boat as me: unknown father. Friends of ours who know their fathers were chiming in about their outrage and anger that our birth mother's won't just tell us our fathers' names. One of them suggested I write about this topic from the adoptee viewpoint.
Lots of stories have flown around about how to handle this delicate situation. These are just a couple samples of stories I am personally aware:
1. Adoptee A's birth mother refused to tell her her father's name. Adoptee A sent her a letter advising that if she didn't reveal the name of the father within 30 days, she would go to the media and take her story public. She received the father's name by mail within two weeks. Adoptee A met her birth father just in time as he was dying of cancer.
2. Adoptee B had a pretty good relationship with her birth mother until her birth mother refused to tell her her father's name. Adoptee B threatened to end the relationship unless she revealed the name. Adoptee B's birth mother revealed the name reluctantly.
I have heard all the arguments as to why birth mother's do not reveal the father's names. I could recite them in my sleep, but that is not the purpose of this blog. The purpose of this blog is to reveal the other side of this reality.
The two stories of Adoptee A and B make it seem like many adoptees with unknown fathers are just spoiled brats and we want what we want regardless of who we hurt in the process. But let's take a closer look at the predicaments that many adoptees are in.
I am a member of a closed Facebook genealogy group and I was reading one of the documents about why people will not respond to questions and emails when you are either a paper-relative (but don't know each other in real life) or a DNA-match (and are making initial contact for information). It was well-written from the perspective of the person being asked to provide information. It was a good reminder that we should not be a cyber-bully or push people past their "No" and to respect each other since we do not know the other person's viewpoint or story.
One thing I did not hear addressed in this document, and it was no surprise, considering it was written by a non-adoptee, was the adoptee viewpoint (or it could be the donor-conceived viewpoint, or the now-adult child of a father who walked out of his/her life in childhood viewpoint, or the biological offspring of a family who lied to them viewpoint, or the stepchild of a believed-to-be-bio-dad-but- really-stepdad-viewpoint).
Sure, we are all adults and we should calmly, respectfully understand when somebody does not want to reveal information, whether that means our emails are ignored, we personally are ignored or our needs are ignored. As grown-ups, we are responsible for our own feelings and actions, and we also have to accept that we have no control over anyone other than ourselves.
On the other hand, if you are adopted or have any number of the family situations I mentioned above, you are put in a position of powerlessness. Somebody else did the leaving, the lying, the avoiding, the ignoring and you were the recipient of it without choice. There is an unequal amount of power in relationships where one party holds the "key" or "answers" and the other party is the one the information is about.
You see this power differential when you compare the stereotypical adoptive parents with the stereotypical relinquishing birth mother. A relinquishing mother may be poor, uneducated or at a minimum, not in a position to parent and the adoptive parents are usually in a better educational and financial position to adopt.
The power differential is also true in laws governing adoption, whereas the powerful lobby groups are adoptive parents, attorneys, and agencies who have the deep pockets and tip the laws in their favor. As adoptees, we experience a crap-shoot of sorts of living in the "right state or country" in order to see our own birth certificates.
This power differential puts adoptees with unknown fathers into a win/lose scenario. If we push our mothers for the information, we could lose them. If we leave it alone, we may lose the opportunity to know our fathers. In other words, it is similar to being a child of divorce --- always in the middle, always having to tiptoe around somebody else's feelings.
The viewpoint of the adult adoptee with an unknown father is rarely discussed or explored in other blogs that I have read. The right to have copies of our original birth documents is a an issue talked about often; however if you are an adoptee, chances are high that your father's name was NOT listed on your birth certificate. So having a copy of your original birth certificate rarely helps unless your biological father was married to your mother.
In other words, most of the power of "knowing and revealing" an adoptee's father's name is left with the mother. An adult with an unknown father is in a win/lose scenario that most of us never imagined we would be in.
You have all heard the stories from the people "who don't want to know" -- you know the ones who say this:
"The dad who raised me is my REAL DAD and I don't care about that man who donated sperm. He is a bum, walked out of my life and I hope I never see him again."
or this:
"I love my adoptive parents and my adopted dad is the only father I need."
But have you ever heard statements like these?
"I walk around every day with a VOID in my heart and soul."
"Lacking a good relationship with the primary male in my life, I was desperate for male attention and validation."
"To be missing the love only a Dad can give, has left a hole in me."
"To be missing the love only a Dad can give, has left a hole in me."
"I can't wait to look into the face of the man who I share DNA with, to finally be able to say I Love You."
"I am looking forward to the day when I can fill all the empty branches of my family tree. . .
for myself and future generations . . .before I die."
"The desperation and lack of positive self-image led me to settle for much less than I deserved."
"When I find you, it will bring a completion to my journey. I want you to meet your grandkids."
"When I find you, it will bring a completion to my journey. I want you to meet your grandkids."
"It hurts to be lied to by the woman who brought me into the world -- to know that she does not consider my need to know my father as important as my need to know her."
"To think that my dad would have protected me from the things that my adoptive parents did not."
"To have a man say . . .'this is my daughter' and see him smile."
Mara Parker found her father through genetic genealogy and said all the things that tug at a Daddy's heart (get the tissues ready). Mara's mother did disclose her father's name; however, due to closed records, Mara did not know either of her biological parents growing up and her search for her father was difficult due to him having a common name.

My daughter, who many of you know is adopted, spent a lot of time this Christmas holiday with her biological father's side. When I look at her, I see him. When I look at him, I see her. How can I not embrace and love this person in her life? I had the opportunity to ask him about family genetic traits, such as who is musical and artistic in his family, what their religious background was, etc. I learned some fascinating things about him and many of them explain the way my daughter thinks and behaves.
Many believe that those of us with unknown fathers should just accept our plight, the hand we were dealt and "move on". Many feel that it's not a big deal -- we should just be thankful to be alive (I am, by the way) and "forget about the whole thing".
We all know that genetics are hugely important to people's lives -- their personalities, looks, tastes, diseases, etc. The average person can look in the mirror and see their Father staring back at them. Not true for those of us with this ever-present void. We too would like to see our Father, his people, and the people before them. Even if they are deceased. Even if they want nothing to do with us. Even though it might "hurt" a few people who may have been actively keeping the secret. We have been hurt too and we are expected to accept that as our fate.
Everyone has a right to know who their father is.
Everyone has a right to know who their father is.
"Between stimulus and response there is a space.
In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom." -- Viktor E. Frankl

Director of Operations, The Heartbeat Trust
The Heart Failure Virtual Consult; A novel way of using technology to deliever care into the community.
The problem
There are over 90,000 people in Ireland are living with heart failure and the estimated cost of heart failure is €660 million. Many challenges remain in the management of heart failure, with a changing profile of patients who are older and have multiple comorbidities and a high rate of hospital admissions. Use of modern communication systems has the potential to revolutionise heart failure care.
The solution
Heart failure, with the correct supports can largely be managed in the community. For GPs, the heart failure virtual consult (HFVC) provides a dynamic learning environment, improved knowledge base, peer to peer support and most importantly the necessary supports to maintain and treat heart failure patients in the primary care setting.
The HFVC provides not only online, real time specific case discussion but also a dissemination of practical tips in heart failure care between GP and specialists. This offers an alternative to standard clinic assessment, and can provide the GP with all the information required, reducing need for onward referral and, therefore, can reduce unnecessary travel for the patient and their family – a meaningful bonus given the age and frailty of many patients with heart failure.
Easier access for patients and GPs
By managing heart failure in the community, the HFVC removes a step in the traditional care pathway facilitating interaction between the specialist/GP in a cost effiecient manner. Moreover, the HFVC reduces the need for out-patient department referrals, freeing up hospital out-patient slots for those in need of standard clinics resulting in shorter waiting times and speedier reviews.
To date, 150 GPs have signed up across the East Coast, Midlands and the Carlow/Kilkenny region with 100% of GPs agreeing that the HFVC advice was useful in treating their patients and that the patients themselves benefited as a result of their participation in the HFVC. The patients were also happy to have their conditions discussed with experts and groups of GPs and relieved not to have to travel to the hospital.
Over the initial 18 month study period, 142 patients were referred to the service. Only 17% required review in the outpatient department with the majority of issues dealt with through the HFVC service. The travel distance saved for patients referred to this service was 10,552km. Usability and improvements in self reported efficacy were high for the GPs involved.
eHealth is the future
We are passionate about the future advancement of eHealth in Ireland, and are optimistic about the use of technology for wider dissemination of heart failure knowledge and community based care. Resourcing of this method of integrated care is required to ensure that both specialist and GP teams can participate fully without compromising other patient care. The use of this type of webconferencing is easily transferable to other disease areas nationally.

Thought I'd create a thread on this just because eskandar said he loved to talk about it to anyone who was interested (such as myself!) and in case anyone else is interested. Not really sure how to start this off (I was originally thinking I'd try comparing and contrasting Amar Chitra Katha's two very different accounts of how Chandragupta Maurya came to power but then realized one story is much longer and considerably more elaborate than the other ).
Maybe I'll start with a flippant summary of Kerala's history. It's been relatively uneventful compared to many other parts of India. There apparently haven't been all that many wars in Kerala, but there have been lots of family feuds. There have been no devastating invasions that are remotely comparable to what North India has seen, more like just Europeans all tripping over each other to get our spices before the British won and mostly left us alone.

2. Investing out in the weeds? Why not pot-focused equity management?
3. Dude, I can't find my text. Quarter-pounder with side of cops.
4. I don't always agree with Andrew Sullivan. But I often do. He's got this right.
5. The Heart Attack Grill: serving death means never having to say you're sorry.
6. Coincidence? Maybe not. Pretty cute.
7. Golly. Chad Henderson fibbed? I hadn't read that. I had read schmaltz like this. But now it turns out the young man blatantly lied. Or, as he puts it, "When I said I enrolled, I guess I got the terminology wrong." I can see other applications for this. If I ask a student if she turned in her paper, and she says "Yes," then later when it turns out she did NOT turn in her paper, I'll know why. She thought about some paper topics, and looked at references. So when she said she turned the paper in, she just got the terminology wrong. Worked for Chad! (Of course, if I talk to person's dad, I can get the straight story...)
8. This is interesting. This was an actual PLAN? Who thought it would work? Unless the actual objective is a constitutional crisis? And if that WAS the objective....wow.
9. A fundamental problem of choosing in groups. The choice of one faction imposes external costs on everyone else. That's the biggest "externality" of all. And yet all the "externality internalizers" of the left never even mention it.
Did you know this? Forget the shut-down. There's another Mad Max movie! https://t.co/IaoZVp82Fo11. If there is a rent, it will encourage rent-seeking. And if the rent takes the form of a dispensation of a "tax," it is a very efficient way to buy votes. And it never appears in the campaign finance data. Brilliant!
— mungowitz (@mungowitz) October 6, 2013
12. You posted my Social Security number WHERE? Since it's mandatory to use it as an ID#, and we can't change it, you'd think the government might be a little more careful. If a credit card is stolen, I can redo it. With SocSec, not so much. So, of course, the government forces us to use SocSec as our ID#. Even though they promised....not to. And they insist on persisting in the lie that providing the SocSec# is "voluntary: It's up to you."
13. That silly SIRI. She's a funny girl. And now we know who she "really" is.
14. Apparently the Times of India is really bored. 'Cause this is nuts...
15. Okay, so they aren't actually BURNING books. But...they are preventing the delivery of books. Bastiat would laugh, and suggest they need a "negative railroad"! Make it REALLY expensive to get stuff from other countries. All these roads are just making things worse. A serious patriot would advocate the blowing up of all bridges, and the closing of all ports. And, of course, shuttering all the windows and skylights.
16. This is hilarious.
17. The more extreme you are, the more superior you feel. From Duke researchers, where we ALL feel superior...
18. Unintended consequences of deer hunting regulations.
19. As usual, bizarre conspiracies are much more fun than actual facts. The conspiracy theory always starts like this: "Wouldn't the store prefer you have to walk really far, past displays of processed foods you don't want, to go to the back of the store to get milk?" These folks always start with you ALREADY IN THE STORE. That's not how it works. The biggest competition is to get you into the store in the first place.
20. The most bizarre "Hallelujah" I have seen. A slow German rap version, with chorus. This is quite a bit better. And, for the LMM, the Bon Jovi version.
21. Religious fundamentalism: an interesting account.
22. Eddie Burke versus the Modern Economists. Quite an accurate account, and one I have myself come to appreciate, as I grow older.
23. EWWWWWW!!! "A group of nine undergraduates (3 men, 6 women), unaware of our hypotheses, viewed individual photos of each Congressperson, taken from their Congressional website, and rated their mate-value." The article. The question: Did IRB approve this? And, if so, why do we even HAVE a government?

Due to my time off work, and because my mood has been a bit of a downer for a good part of this year so far, I really haven't spent a lot of time buying new music, and if anything, I've been struggling to really get stuck into albums. I'm hoping that's going to change with the summer months and with my recent purchases of a few new albums, and on top of that, I've been listening to big cluster of singles this year, so I decided to pop them into a Spotify playlist which can be found at the bottom of this post.

I LIKE IT WHEN YOU SLEEP, FOR YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL YET TO UNAWARE OF IT | THE 1975: I first heard The 1975 when I was working in the Yankee Store in 2016. We had Chocolate on the playlist for the store, and I honestly thought it was some has-beens from the 90's singing it. It wasn't until it got stuck in my head one day and I looked it up that I realised it was that band that everyone was talking about on Twitter. I purchased Chocolate along with Somebody Else which has to be one of my favourite songs of all time, ever, and eventually this year decided to purchase the whole of the above album (could the title be any more emo poet? lmao) and I'm head over heels. I love the way they sound fresh but still have those 80's and 90's vibes. There's some really amazing tracks on this album, like She's American, Lost My Head, The 1975, This Must Be My Dream and The Sound. And how beautiful is Please Be Naked? I can't fault this album.
AMERICA | 30 SECONDS TO MARS: Seeing 30STM live for my birthday just reiterated how enamoured I am with this band. I haven't listened much to this album at the time of writing this post, but I know I'm going to love it. I love everything they do, and I adored their live performances of Stay (the Rihanna cover they did a while back) and Dangerous Night so I've been listening to both these tracks on repeat.
What music have you been loving this year?

Heavy Seas Small Craft Warning
Heavy Seas
Small Craft Warning (Über Pils)
Brewed by:
Clipper City Brewery
Baltimore, Maryland
American Double / Imperial Pilsner
Pours a light copper color with a white head.
Sweet aromas on the nose of light malts and flowering hops.
Not much going on in the taste of this beer.
The taste starts with a light malt sweetness then a somewhat hop drying in mid taste and just when you think you are building up to a big finish you are let down with just a blah but dry finish.
Well this beer has definitely picked up some unpleasantness after it warmed up.
I'm not really caring for this beer. It's okay but it's just that, okay. It's a drinkable beer but pretty boring. If I had to give it a letter grade it would be C-.

What if there are possibilities you are aware of that nobody else is aware of? What if those possibilities are your brilliance just waiting to be unleashed into the world? As you start to acknowledge more and more the uniqueness of what you know, you start to get that your reality is different from the reality you see around you.

CLEVELAND, Ohio--Just when you thought it was safe to venture outdoors and say adios to "old man winter," a winter storm warning was issued for Wednesday into Thursday for much of Northeast Ohio, giving everyone a reality check.
"I was really surprised because the weather seems really nice," said McKenzie Kelly who was just finishing up track practice at Medina High School on Tuesday.
Tuesday's 60 degree temperatures are expected to be replaced by high winds, rain, freezing rain, ice and snow accumulations of several inches in some areas.
CLICK for the latest weather updates.
The Ohio Department Of Transportation will be fully staffed and they said crews will be working around the clock until the storm passes and the roads are cleared.
And other communities are also making plans.
Leaders in Seven Hills announced that parking bans will be in effect until further notice.
Cleveland has also released a storm plan of attack. They said city crews will be aggressively treating streets, bridges, and hills.
They're asking people to stay on top of the weather and for drivers to give themselves extra travel time. They are also asking drivers not to block the intersections.
"We've had some crazy weather this year," said Anthony McCoy, Medina resident.
This latest round of brutal weather is coming at a time when many schools are out of calamity days.
A House-Senate compromise committee approved a bill Tuesday to provide four extra snow days.
"We only had a full week of school once in 2014," said McKenzie
Students said this storm they are actually hoping classes aren't cancelled because if it is they will have to make up the time lost.
At Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, United is already cutting some flights for Wednesday morning and afternoon.
As always, check with your carrier. CLICK HERE for flight updates.
