X-Men Origins: Wolverine was one of the first big summer movies out of the gate which naturally translated to being the first big summer movie to arrive on home video. With it comes a pair of alternate endings, one those who either passed on the film theatrically or bolted at the first glimpse of credits after being let down by the film missed, and the first appearance of IMDB data channeled via BD-Live exclusively on Blu-ray Disc.
Wolverine's origins, never before explored prior to the film, begin over a century ago when the then continuously sickly boy who goes by James and his brother, Victor, are forced to run away after James thrusts his newfound claws through his father's chest in an act of pure rage and vengeance. No explanation is given to why young James is perpetually sick or why he and his brother stop aging around the time they go to war, but director Gavin Hood achieves maximum visceral returns at the expense of logic; a theme that plays throughout the film.
An attempt by the US military to execute James and Victor, otherwise known as Sabretooth, for war crimes fails which brings our old friend Colonel Stryker (Danny Huston) calling sometime after the Vietnam War. The Colonel has changed a lot in his younger years since Singer's X-Men United. In perhaps his own secret reverse-mutation he seems to have grown a foot in height, forgotten his southern accent, and not yet discovered the ability to emote or project intelligence.
Stryker is persuading enough to convince a team of mutants that killing is acceptable to get what he wants without any of the mutants possessing an inkling of truth as to why they're doing what they're doing. Wade (Ryan Reynolds) is especially entertaining with his witty remarks and swords that slice through bullets and flesh alike even if nary a drop of blood touches the blade or floor. During the raid when Wade is let loose, the action and subsequent suspense of a murderous plot that sends Wolverine off into the Canadian woods to escape for several years are entertaining enough as to not worry about lapses in small details.
Domestication and Logan are not meant to last so thanks to a persuasive visit by brother Victor, Logan is forced by Stryker into the Weapon X project where he undergoes the infamous procedure to become "Wolverine." This genesis sequence is grueling to watch and I admit to cringing a bit when the needles inevitably began to inject Logan with liquefied Adamantium.
From this moment on, cringes shower like raindrops for all the wrong reasons. Somehow Logan is able to hear Stryker issue an order to wipe his memory from at least 30 yards away – and from underwater, no less. Once Logan a.k.a. the half-a-billion dollar project breaks free, Stryker immediately issues the order to kill him. Upon an entire of soldiers being wiped out by Wolverine, Stryker pulls out a gun case with custom lining for Adamantium bullets and instructs another military-type that only these bullets can kill Wolverine.
By this time Wade's return can't come soon enough but unfortunately when it happens in the closing minutes there's little suspense or cause to rejoice. Stryker never did like Wade's talking so he's achieved silence by sewing the mutant's mouth shut. There went the best personality in the entire film. That's OK because Wolverine and other "guest" mutants take over Stryker's secret base by knocking off the overwhelming security detail numbering in the less-than-five before a three-way fight atop a nuclear reactor brings the fun back into the film.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine spends so much time setting up potential moneymaking spin-offs for Fox with its various mutant cameos that it fails to succeed in telling a semi-intelligent and coherent story. Wolverine is at least fun, if deeply flawed, and sets up a sequel Fox is already moving forward on.
Fox brings X-Men Origins: Wolverine to Blu-ray in a strong 2.35:1 1080p AVC-encoded transfer that is both beautiful with clarity and gritty with a light sheen of natural grain, fitting for the hero it supports. The only noticeable problem area is with black levels that break up in some of the nighttime shots at the beginning and end of the film. Otherwise the high definition transfer looks fantastic, to a fault even in accentuating some of the unpolished special effects sequences such as Wolverine checking out his Adamantium claws in a mirror for the first time.
Wolverine is an especially loud film built around some enormous action sequences with smaller skirmishes sandwiched between. The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track Fox has put together is, in a word, mind blowing. Deep bass and sharp directional surround use that pop up a handful of times in other films are the norm in this mix. From the faintest ambient noise to the implosion of a nuclear reactor, Wolverine's lossless audio never disappoints.
D-BOX Motion Code
A strong audio mix is a good indicator of an equally impressive D-BOX experience. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is no exception with solid jolts during Wolverine's youthful escape, the controlled vibration of gunfire and thud of explosions all breaking out before the opening title sequence wraps.
The mutant team's raid on a diamond compound is relatively light with motion, but things pick up substantially when Victor and Logan brawl inside and outside a bar. There are violent thuds of the men hitting the ground and stabbing one another, giant logs rolling to the ground capped by Wolverine being thrown in front of a speeding semi-truck. Not much later, Wolverine is being chased by Agent Zero in a helicopter which allows D-BOX to shift focus from violent motion cues to weightlessness effects.
Other noteworthy D-BOX scenes that stand out including Wolverine boxing with The Blob, the introduction of Gambit and is energy-charged stick, and the final showdown between Wolverine, Sabretooth and Deadpool. Any one of these scenes is worthy demo material by themselves. Chained together they are guaranteed to put a smile on your face and demand a return visit whether the story deserves one or not.
Live Lookup – Wolverine is the first Fox Blu-ray Disc to include this feature which allows you to access IMDB.com's vast databases of information on actors and their work while watching the film in either a full or minimized window. The Internet version is better as you can further click on a film an actor was in and follow links indefinitely. In this feature, you can view the actor's work but the breadcrumb trail ends there. Even so, this is one of the best and most creative uses for BD-Live yet that will hopefully appear on many more titles in the future.
Ultimate X-Mode – BonusView picture-in-picture mode that includes X Connect (filmmaker recollections), The Director's Chair, Pre-visualizing Wolverine and a Trivia Track; each viewable separately.
The Roots of Wolverine: A Conversation with Stan Lee and Len Wein (16:18, HD) – When Stan Lee talks, anyone with even a remote tingle of intrigue in comic books listens. Stan fields questions from Len which leads him to reflect on how he and Jack Kirby gave birth to and molded the X-Men universe, how the X-Men universe evolved and eventually leading into creating character Origins for the first time. It is a relatively brief but fantastic peek into the mind of a comic genius.
Wolverine Unleashed: The Complete Origins (12:05) – Hugh and the filmmakers explain who Wolverine is and what the film is about. A segment about Hugh's training regime is the only real draw.
Weapon X Mutant Files (53:57) – When viewed via the play-all function, 11 characters from the world of Wolverine are dissected via film clips, behind-the-scenes footage and interview snippets. Fun to hear the actors explain how they approach their mutant characters.
The Helicopter Sequence (5:53) – Filming the helicopter attack, chase and crash on location. Lots of old fashioned practical effects were used to pull the sequence off.
Deleted and Alternate Scenes (9:32) – The infamous young Storm scene shown in advertisements and the Japanese bar scene alternate ending are two of four scenes included. It's easy to see why young Storm was cut as her presence could not have been more forced.
World Premiere (6:22) – Footage from the world premiere held in Tempe, Arizona, the city that won an online competition to house it.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is not the strongest mutant film available but it is a fair amount of fun with Hugh Jackman playing the role of the animalistic mutant with a burdensome conscious to perfection. I enjoyed it more a second time through once expectations were reeled in which is reflected in the film score versus my original theatrical rating of 5.0. Throw in the exemplary audio, video and D-BOX presentations, coupled with a nifty new IMDB BD-Live feature, and the Blu-ray Disc is worth checking out for its technological accolades alone.

I'd hoped we were past this by now.
On Tuesday, Mr. Bush cast the stakes in stark terms, repeatedly invoking his desire to spread freedom and democracy, the central themes of his foreign policy. Those themes are hardly new to American presidents. Woodrow Wilson talked about making the world safe for democracy, while Ronald Reagan warned that "freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction."
But Mr. Bush, most experts agree, has taken the American freedom agenda to an entirely new level, by trying to foster democracy in nations that have not known it before, like Iraq and Afghanistan. Some historians have called it folly, and Mr. Bush conceded in an interview with conservative commentators last year that his critics believe he is "hopelessly idealistic." (emphasis added)
The very idea that there's a genuine "American freedom agenda" is rather foolish, and the notion that "experts agree" that Bush has taken democracy promotion "to an entirely new level" may come directly from White House talking points, but that doesn't make it true.
The NYT article makes it sound as if in this speech to the Religious Broadcasters' Convention the war in Afghanistan was in some way related to spreading democracy. As I recall, we invaded the country and overthrew the Taliban because it protected al Qaeda and helped sponsor the 9/11 attacks.
As for Iraq, after the president's rationale(s) for the war in Iraq fell apart, the White House crafted a post-hoc rationalization for the invasion — the United States was committed, above all else, to spreading democracies and toppling dictators across the globe. He didn't mention any of this before the war, but only because he was really busy. Or something.
It was always a dubious proposition, more politically convenient than ideologically heartfelt. Indeed, for all of the president's talk about democracy being "God's gift to humanity," there's no evidence Bush takes his own principles seriously at all.

It is an incredible honor to be with people in their most vulnerable moments. Standing in solidarity with them and truly wishing for them to have freedom is the ultimate gift we can give. In pregnancy and childbirth, freedom looks like supporting a person to mother on their own terms. Nurse practitioners get to be advocates for those terms during this exceptional time. Being with a pregnant person whose plan is adoption is, in many ways, no different from supporting any other pregnancy and birth experience. In this space, however, many healthcare providers need to stretch in their professional role—continuing to grow their capacity for compassion and keeping their personal opinions and beliefs around the pregnant person's choices in check. Knowing pregnant people and this work is worthy of our investment.
This article is written from the perspective and experience of two Adoption Assessors from Choice Network, an agency that is dedicated to revolutionizing options and accessibility for pregnant people nationwide. In it, we discuss how nurse practitioners and all healthcare providers can fully honor patients pursuing adoption and ensure optimal outcomes for all involved. To quote our favorite professor and doctor, Monica McLemore, MPH, RN, PhD, "This could all be different." Let's make it so.
Three stories
We share the following stories from our experience counseling pregnant people through Choice Network to demonstrate the unintentional harm that can be done when healthcare professionals center their own perspectives over those of their patients and how it could have been different.
Morgan's story
During her pregnancy, Morgan was struggling with a substance abuse disorder. She had had an open case with her local county agency and had lost custody of her other children. On top of that, she was rarely able to make her prenatal appointments. Staying alive and fighting Children's Services was all she could manage at times. This struggle is what led her to contact Choice Network.
Without warning, Morgan went into labor 6 weeks early. On being admitted, she informed the hospital team that she had an adoption plan, and that she was in the process of matching with a family. After a quick birth, the baby tested positive for drugs. Because she tested positive, Morgan's nursing team reported her to Children's Services but neglected to inform them of her adoption plan.
In the meantime, Morgan had contacted Choice Network and officially matched with the family she was hoping for, who began their 5-hour drive to the hospital. Staff were told their estimated time of arrival, which led to plenty of time to coordinate the adoption, because discharge was not to happen until later the following day. Still, nursing staff had expressed concerns that Morgan would not follow through with the adoption plan and that the child would be left without anyone to make medical decisions. Children's Services used this information when they requested custody of the child in an emergency court hearing later that day, despite both Morgan and her Choice Network advocate assuring them her plan was already in motion.
The child was ultimately placed with Morgan's chosen family but not for an additional 6 months. The family was met with resistance when trying to visit and communicate with the hospital, leading to 24 hours during which the infant was left alone unnecessarily, Morgan was left reeling, and the family left unsure as to where to turn. After discharge, the baby entered a foster home and Morgan and her chosen family began the fight to get the baby reunified with them.
Children's Services did not back down in their efforts to take custody of the child. When asked why they pushed this case so quickly to court, they stated it was due to conversations with the nursing team during which it was clear that Morgan could not be trusted.
How could it have been different? The nursing team could have not only made the mandated call as required to do but also provided the full breadth of the plan. They could have simply trusted her.
Naomi's story
Naomi was a patient of a Crisis Pregnancy Center for months before they referred her to an obstetrics office serving low-income patients that was a 45-minute ride for her by car or a half-day trip on two buses and a train. Despite Naomi missing multiple appointments, and not living near the hospital for labor and birth, the healthcare staff did not help her access more proximate care. Later she learned this was a tactic they used to ensure she was too far gestationally to have an abortion.
On connecting with Choice Network and after deep all options counseling, Naomi was referred for late-term prenatal care one block from where she was living and a hospital in her city. As she began to access prenatal care with more ease, we started working with her new healthcare team and the hospital to establish the adoption plan about which all felt most certain. In her plan, Naomi was very clear in requesting the family be present with her in the hospital at all times and identified one of the adoptive parents as her medical advocate. Due to what she had experienced at the Crisis Pregnancy Center, she felt this was absolutely necessary.
When labor and birth time came, the hospital accommodated her desire for the family to be there, even allowing them to room next to each other. But on the first night, when Naomi sought alone time with her baby, the nurse insisted on being the one to communicate her request to the family. When Naomi was ready to hand the baby back to the family, they were not in their room. When she inquired about their whereabouts she was told by the nurse with a shrug, "They left." This ignited fear and anger in Naomi as she assumed they had left the hospital because she had not gone to them when, in reality, they had just stepped out for air. By choosing to insert herself between Naomi and her chosen family, this nurse caused unnecessary alarm. Fortunately, everyone was able to rectify the miscommunication before too much damage had been done.
False information and false alarms are pretty common in the healthcare settings for pregnant people, especially those carrying crisis pregnancies. Although these problems may feel small to some, they were crushing to Naomi. She thought healthcare professionals were trusted advocates, but to this day, the only thing she looks back on with grief is not getting the prenatal care she deserved and the huge upset the one night-shift nurse caused her during her precious time with her child and chosen family. It could have been different if she was given accessible prenatal care and the nurse had listened to her.
Imani's story
Imani, being too far along for abortion and struggling to parent three boys as a single mom, came to us already set on adoption. She was clear from the start that she wanted to be matched with "two moms." The couple she chose was ecstatic, and the three began building a relationship.
Because Imani was late accessing prenatal care, she knew it might be difficult to find a provider, but her chosen family heard of a place in their shared community that would see her. During their first appointment, however, they realized the provider held religious beliefs that were not in acceptance of all families. With few other options, Imani decided she would let them know she would not allow them to be hateful to her chosen family. She was not prepared for how difficult it would be to enforce this boundary.
During every prenatal appointment and throughout her stay at the hospital, Imani experienced healthcare professionals urging her to talk to another agency and/or consider another family. One afternoon, a nurse spent hours trying to talk her into keeping her baby, asking if she was being pressured and probing into whether her parents and pastor would approve of her decision.
In the end, Imani moved forward with her plan. Post birth, she needed extra time to heal and reevaluate whether she was making this plan for herself, because much of her pregnancy was spent defending the family she loved instead of processing her feelings about the adoption. Healthcare professionals' unwarranted advice should never have to hold space in a mother's heart, but the reality is that it does.
How could this be different? By understanding that bias has no space in healthcare.
Adoption: It's rare and complicated
There has always been a narrative in the United States that adoption is the best and easiest resolution to an unplanned pregnancy. The truth is, adoption is rare and complicated.
Adoption is rare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vital and health statistics reveal that only 1% of all pregnant people choose adoption for their babies.1 The Turnaway Study found that, even when access to abortion is taken from a pregnant person, only 9% will choose adoption.2
Adoption is complicated. Adoption has always been a struggle of those in power, including adoptive families, adoption agencies/attorneys, and systems that police families such as children services agencies and courts, versus those with no power, including pregnant people and birth moms. The world is not built to love on its mothers. Gretchen Sisson, a sociologist who is renowned for her study of abortion and adoption in the US, wrote in the Washington Post after the reversal of Roe v Wade:
"The blithe language of supply and demand deployed by the Supreme Court brings to crude light what has always been true: The market forces that shape adoption do not prioritize reproductive autonomy, support for families or an investment in the best outcomes for vulnerable pregnant women and other pregnant people and their children. Though the Court isn't responsible for the lack of an adequate safety net, ignoring these realities is yet another way that the Dobbs decision will inflict harm on American women, their families and generations of adopted people."3
Dorothy Roberts, sociologist, law professor, and social justice advocate, also stated after the Supreme Court decision that "If you don't see how family separation and forced pregnancy are connected forms of state violence, notice how adoption is being promoted as the 'solution' for both."4
Societal oversimplification of adoption as the most honorable solution to an unplanned pregnancy does disservice to both the pregnant person, their child, and our communities. Centering pregnant people throughout the adoption process, no matter what myths we are holding tight as true, requires inner work. We need to weed out any biases that may cause us to replace the pregnant person's truths with society's and our own truths.
Centering our patients
Centering our patients means that we are ensuring pregnant people are centered during the implementation of their birth and adoption plans and are the loudest voice in the conversation. Nurse practitioners are in an ideal position to make sure this happens. But how do we know that our patients are making the right choices? Well, we don't. That is not our job. Dr. Joia Crear-Perry, founder and president of the National Birth Equity Collaborative, recently stated:
"As a descendant of the Enslaved, I believe Self Determination is the most important thing for our Liberation. The movement must provide information and resources for Folks to decide if they want abortions or surrogates; home schools or neighborhood schools."5
It is inappropriate for healthcare professionals to assess, with just a snapshot of information filtered through their personal belief systems, whether a patient is doing the right thing. It can be tempting to assume that a person is making rash decisions in an emotionally volatile situation. However, most people choose adoption after fully considering all their options and investing significant time in selecting a family, all while experiencing the pain and grief of child loss.
Returning to the earlier case studies, we can see that Morgan, Naomi, and Imani experienced trauma during what should have been pretty straightforward adoption experiences, in the care of nurses who were being discriminatory, judgmental, and careless in their communication. Noncentering in their cases looked like rushing to report, disregarding stated adoption plans, pressuring the pregnant person into changing their plan, and intervening in the relationship between a birth mother and her chosen family. Other forms of noncentering (although this is no means an exhaustive list) include withholding information, making decisions about care without consulting the patient, asking leading questions from a position of bias, and bearing silent witness to colleagues doing these things. To reiterate, a healthcare professional's role is to support patients by creating safe space for them. Trusting pregnant people to know what is best for them and their child should be the default stance.
Honoring all options first
Supporting a pregnant person prenatally in accessing all of their choices is essential. Dr. Monica McLemore, whose program of research is grounded in reproductive justice, talks often about the fact that no matter your choice, pregnancy ends. Pregnancy ends through miscarriage, abortion, or birth. Once it ends, a person can choose to parent, choose to be a surrogate, or choose adoption.6 These are easy ways to assess a person's true access before pregnancy ends and after:
- Abortion: Do they have access to a clinic in their state or a surrounding state? Do they have the funds available, and if not, do they know there are abortion funds they can access? Do they have transportation? Do they have childcare? Can they safely take off work? Does their partner or parent (if they are a minor) support them? Do they need good, solid, trusting referrals?
- Adoption: Do they know they can choose the family, stay in touch with them, and many of their expenses can be paid? Do they know they have a right to be centered in their plan? Do they know this is a decision that can be made after giving birth or any time thereafter that feels right? Do they know that open adoption is the most common form of adoption? Do they know that not all adoption agencies are centered in religious beliefs?
- Parenting: Do they have the support they need prenatally and postnatally as well as insurance, safe housing, reliable transportation, access to food and water, childcare, and essentials to parent their child? If they have an open Children's Services case, do they need support here? What is the biggest barrier to helping their family stay together?
- Do they know that no matter their choice, they can have a doula present?
- Are they feeling pressure to choose one option over another by anyone, including people they trust and those they do not?
- Are they safe?
Honoring the adoption plan
Supporting a pregnant person to implement their birth plan when they have chosen adoption is just as important as supporting any other birth plan. Helping the pregnant person explore the following questions, without judgment, will empower them during the birthing process and beyond:
- How much do they want the adoptive family involved?
- Who do they want to be in the room before, during, and after giving birth?
- Do they want to see or hold the baby? If yes, they should be encouraged to do so.
- What do they want to be called? Do they want to name the baby?
- Will they breastfeed and will they need a pump or breastfeeding support after the baby is born?
- Do they want to vaccinate and/or circumcise?
- What do they want discharge to look like?
- Do they have a supportive team of professionals surrounding them and are they centered in her plan?
- Can they identify who is their safest, most trusted ally in the situation?
In addition to birth plan questions, there are other questions that can be included to walk the pregnant person through feelings following their child's birth:
- How is their body feeling without the baby near them?
- How is the adoption plan going in general?
- Is there anything that could give them peace at this moment?
Interrogating ourselves
It is hard to support the adoption process when we hold personal biases from our own position of power and privilege. Do we want people to mother on their own terms? Do we deem them worthy of our investment? When considering our role, let's start by asking ourselves some tough questions:
- How do I feel about crisis pregnancies?
- How do I feel about people who did not or could not access prenatal care?
- Do I think teen moms can be good moms?
- Do I think moms with open Children's Services cases are good moms?
- Do I think children should have two parents?
- Do I support people who have chosen abortion in the past? Do I think there is such a thing as too many abortions?
- How do I feel about adoption in general?
- Do I support same-sex adoptions?
- Do I support transracial adoptions?
- Do I support incredibly open connections with moms and their chosen families?
- Am I okay if a birth father is not involved?
- How do I feel when a baby tests positive for substances?
- Do I trust that pregnant people with cognitive impairments can make good decisions?
- Can I consider that systems are not created to support crisis pregnancies?
- Can I consider that systems are created to tear families apart?
- Can I consider that systems I work in and refer to are full of racist practices?
- Can I consider that I bring my own bias to the client's I serve?
If on reflection, we realize we have strong feelings about any of these questions, it is our responsibility to interrogate those feelings and educate ourselves further on any triggering topics, so they do not interfere with our ability to do our job. Dorothy Roberts states: "Although these attitudes are not universally held, they influence the way many Americans think about reproduction. Myths are more than made-up stories. They are also firmly held beliefs that represent and attempt to explain what we perceive to be the truth. They can become more credible than reality, holding fast even in the face of airtight statistics and rational arguments to the contrary."7
It is no exaggeration to say that managing our personal values system and held myths is the lynchpin in our ability to support all parties in an adoption plan.
Interrogating our systems
Confirming your healthcare system supports a pregnant person's choices is another critical way we can serve our patients. Questions to consider:
- What if they are not inclusive of all options?
- What if it is truly not safe for a pregnant person to give birth at your hospital?
- What if the infant mortality rate is unacceptable?
- What if your policies do not support keeping families together, but rather lean toward tearing them apart?
- What if they are not inclusive of all families?
- What if pregnant people are not trusted?
If we are faced with a system that does not support the goals we have established for our patients, it will be necessary for us to fight to make changes in that system and/or refer our clients to another source of care. Otherwise, the risk to them and their baby is far too high.
Social justice activist Brittany Packnett wrote:
"Train yourself toward solidarity and not charity. You are no one's savior. You are a mutual partner in the pursuit of freedom."8
Nurse practitioners possess great power in the honored space of adoption to help families in the pursuit of their freedom, their terms, and their truth. They hold great power to do it all differently.

Frank Lloyd Wright believed that the buildings we live in shape the kinds of people we become. His aim was nothing short of rebuilding the entire culture of the United States, changing the nation through its architecture.

Podcast: 99% Invisible: 246- Usonia 1
Frank Lloyd Wright was a bombastic character that ultimately changed the field of architecture, and not just through his big, famous buildings. Before designing many of his most well-known works, Wright created a small and inexpensive yet beautiful house. This modest home would go on to shape the way working- and middle-class Americans live to this day. And it all started with a journalist from Milwaukee. [more inside]

Smile for the camera
New dash cam portal allows people to upload evidence for police review
With the ever increasing amount of footage being captured by dash cams, Nextbase have teamed up with 19 police forces to launch a new not-for-profit National Dash Cam Safety Portal. That leaves 26 forces still to be signed up.
We see a raft of videos shared on Social Media of let's say less than sympathetic to learners just starting on their journey. The new system will require any footage submitted to not be shared on social media as it may impact the investigation. Overall this feels like a positive step forward, and should bring more dangerous drivers to justice.
So what sort of footage should you be submitting and what's covered by the new system?
Well here's the official line –
NDSP caters for a broad range of road incidents including dangerous driving, using a mobile phone, driving without due care and attention, careless driving, overtaking on solid white lines, not in proper control, traffic light contravention or any other road traffic offence provided it is clearly made out in the submitted media. Source: https://www.nextbase.co.uk/ndsp-faq/
It will certainly be interesting to see whether the volume of reports made will be shared and how much resource is going to be required to review these cases?!

Addiction, Ambivalence Model of Craving, Dual-Processing Theories, Response Inhibition, Working Memory
Research stemming from dual-processing theories suggest that working memory capacity may have an important role in the ability to inhibit automatic tendencies when there is the motivation to do so (Barrett, Tugade, & Engle, 2004). Ambivalence, the simultaneous desire to engage in (approach motivation) and inhibit (avoidance motivation), often occurs with problematic behaviors like alcohol abuse. The current study sought to determine whether individual differences in working memory capacity moderate the relationship between approach, avoidance and subsequent drinking behavior in a clinical sample. A total of 66 individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) participated in a baseline assessment of working memory capacity followed by a daily assessment of approach, avoidance, drinking behavior and situational factors (stress and self-efficacy) over a two-week monitoring period. We also explored an alternative cognitive construct (response inhibition), to determine whether it interacts with motivational states in a similar way to predict drinking behavior. Results of multilevel modeling indicated a significant interaction between approach, avoidance and working memory capacity in the prediction of drinking day, but not drinking quantity. Specifically, those with lower working memory capacity were at increased odds of a drinking episode when experiencing ambivalence, while odds of drinking did not increase for those with higher working memory capacity. Exploratory analyses demonstrated the opposite pattern of results when examining response inhibition's interaction with approach and avoidance. The current study suggests that working memory capacity is an important cognitive ability that supports deliberative decision making when experiencing ambivalence toward alcohol, while also highlighting important theoretical and methodological considerations when examining cognitive and motivational processes.

Mold Sample Types
Surface area testing takes samples from household surface areas to discover the quantity of mold development and spores deposited around the home. 7. In doing such inspection and testing, the mold inspector (or the renter himself) should do an all-around physical exam of the building for both visible and concealed signs of water damage and mold growth. Living or working in rentals that contain raised levels of airborne mold spores and/or substantial mold development infestation can cause very severe health problems to the tenants. They also play crucial roles in biotechnology and food science in the production of different foods, drinks, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and enzymes Some illness of animals and human beings can be brought on by particular molds: illness might result from allergic sensitivity to mold spores, from growth of pathogenic molds within the body, or from the results of ingested or inhaled toxic substances (mycotoxins) produced by molds. This was not the case at all; this is a full blown inspection with air testing, sample testing, moisture reading, images and an in-depth report. After the reality, my seller didn't exactly manage the information in a prompt manner and I had some issues about the location not being properly dried and the capacity for mold growing in your house with the damp areas the home inspector and mold inspector discovered. The second phase of mold inspection after discovering mold growth is to find the water issue that caused the mold in the first place.
Mold or mould, also sometimes referred to as mildew, is a fungal growth that develops on wet materials. Mold is a natural part of the environment and plays an important part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees; indoors, mold growth should be avoided.
Mold inspection is, for the most part, a visual inspection of a house. ... A typical mold inspection involves the inspector talking to the property owner about any areas where they have seen mold, or where there have been moisture problems or water damage in the past.
Residential mold prevention and control
According to the EPA, residential mold may be prevented and controlled by cleaning and repairing roof gutters, to prevent moisture seepage into the home; keeping air-conditioning drip pans clean and drainage lines clear; monitoring indoor humidity; drying areas of moisture or condensation and removing their sources; ensuring that there is adequate ventilation by installing an exhaust fan in your bathroom; treating exposed structural wood or wood framing with an EPA-approved fungicidal encapsulation coating after pre-cleaning (particularly homes with a crawl space, unfinished basement or a poorly-ventilated; attic).
Mold Testing Process
All three testing techniques need that you breed samples for 3 to seven days to make sure you provide time for slow-growing mold and yeast to appear. An expert home inspection team will evaluate your house's air, take swabs and tape lift samples, usage devices such as a borescope (an optical gadget used to check hard to get at places) and do moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and a relative humidity check to determine if your house requirements mildew remediation work. Like with air testing the results can differ since mold growth and spores aren't spread out evenly across surfaces in the home and can alter over time.

Mold Testing Cost
This implies that structures are less ventilated, not being able to "breathe" as easily and pockets of damp air can be caught for extended periods of time, potentially causing mold development. Keep in mind: The typical cost for MIS is a bit more than Mold Inspection and Testing but I was used an "apartment special" of $500 to consist of 2 air quality tests- one indoor an one outside as well as a swab sample. Prices gets complex with these companies, but the bottom line is I went with a rival of Mold Inspection Sciences, (since they didn't have any openings) and they were NOT pleased about it. Note: The normal expense for MIS is a bit more than Mold Inspection and Testing however I was provided an "home special" of $350 to consist of 2 air quality tests- one indoor an one outside as well as a swab sample.
Mold Spores - Doolittle
Even if there is no longer mold in your house a build up of mold spores can still trigger allergic signs and can likewise cause brand-new mold growth. Poisonous black mold frequently grows in hidden locations and professional mold inspectors can use tools such as wetness meters and optical fiber to find covert mold with minimal disruption to your home. When harmful black mold is growing though it usually dislodges any other molds growing close-by and takes over its environment. Harmful black mold needs a great deal of moisture for a long time before it can begin to grow. Molds are common, and mold spores are a typical component of household and office dust; however, when mold spores are present in large amounts, they can provide a health hazard to humans, potentially causing allergic reactions and breathing problems. However, there are also harmful molds that have caustic results on the psychological and physical functions of those who ingest its airborne spores, gradually.
Expert Mold Testing
The mold remediation process is among the times when mold spores are most likely to be disturbed into the air. Mold testing specialists are aware of the health risks related to exposure to big amounts of spores and protect themselves by using breathing masks and using protective clothes to make certain mildew won't participate in their air passage methods, which can trigger persistent breathing issues, and will not settle on their skin, which can result in unpleasant rashes and other skin ailments. Common mistakes with mold sampling consist of selecting the incorrect specimen to sample, testing material that is not in fact mold, only testing apparent black mold" or only searching for samples in particular structure locations that might be incorrect.
