Is an introvert simply a person with social anxiety?
The short answer is: nope.
The slightly longer, but still interesting, answer follows.
4 Major Differences Between Introversion And Social Anxiety
1. Introversion Is A Personality Trait / Social Anxiety Is A Disorder
Introversion is a personality trait. Or more correctly, an overarching 'big-five' collection of mini personality traits. It's biologically based and part of your inherent make-up.
Social anxiety disorder is a mental disorder classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Although you may be born with a predisposition to social anxiety, it's learned through experiences and reinforced by avoidance of social situations.
Introversion is a biologically-based personality trait. Social anxiety disorder is learned through experiences and reinforced by avoidance of social situations.
2. Introversion Relates To Preference / Social Anxiety Relates To Fear
Introversion is marked by a preference for less stimulation – whether people, lights, noise, or other environmental inputs. Introverts are easily overstimulated and feel uncomfortable, irritable, and uneasy in high-stimulation environments. It's about stimulation, not just about people.
Those at the far end of introversion have a
screaming urge strong preference for low-stimulation environments. They may feel a compelling need for quiet, solitude, mental activities, and few social activities. It's not unlike feeling excessively hot all the time, and always needing to turn the temperature down.
People with social anxiety fear social situations. The fear can be debilitating and may significantly interfere with their work, relationships, and quality of life. In fact social anxiety is also called social phobia, and it's treated therapeutically in a similar way to other phobias.
Introverts feel uncomfortable, irritable, and uneasy in high-stimulation environments. People with social anxiety have a phobia of social situations.
3. Introversion Is About How I Feel / Social Anxiety Is About What People Think Of Me
When an introvert avoids a social situation, it's so they don't feel the discomfort of excessive stimulation. They may find the noise, lights, people, forced conversations, or combination
makes them want to pluck out their own eyeball disturbing and unpleasant. It's like a psychological/neurological version of ants crawling all over you.
When a socially anxious person avoids a social situation, it's to do with fear of how they'll be judged by others. They dread saying or doing something that will cause them embarrassment, humiliation, or rejection.
An introvert wants to avoid the discomfort of excessive stimulation. A socially anxious person is afraid of how they'll be judged.
4. Introversion Does Not Need To Be Treated / Social Anxiety May Need To Be Treated
Introverts don't need to be cured or sent away to introvert conversion camp or forced to come out of their shell. Being an introvert is simply a built-in aspect of personality.
Introverts can experiment to find the amount of stimulation that feels right. They can make decisions about how and when to recharge their introvert batteries, how to find balance between solitude and socialising, how to take pleasure in doing things alone, how to adapt to their individual level of introversion.
People with social anxiety disorder may choose to seek treatment if they're suffering distress. If you think you may be socially anxious, please talk to your doctor. Seriously, make an appointment now.
Introverts don't need to be cured or sent away to introvert conversion camp or forced to come out of their shell. People with social anxiety disorder may choose to seek treatment if they're suffering distress.
Introvert Or Socially Anxious Person?
To illustrate the difference between introverts and socially anxious people, here are some things an introvert might say:
- I avoid parties. They feel too loud and chaotic
- I find large group gatherings extremely unpleasant
- I'm so much happier at home, or having dinner with a close friend, or in a small group
- I dislike having to come up with conversation on the fly – it feels fake to me.
Here are some things a person with social anxiety might say:
- I'll embarrass myself if I eat in public
- If I speak to someone new then they will reject me
- I'll be humiliated and I won't be able to cope
- I'm very anxious about what people will think of me.
Which One Are You?
You may be an introvert. You may be suffering from social anxiety disorder. You may be both, or neither.
A Venn Diagram illustrates the possibilities.
The important thing to remember is that you can manage the discomfort of introversion through your choices.
But you should discuss how to treat social anxiety disorder with your doctor.

Gregory Sets Home Run Record In St Cloud Sweep
The St. Cloud State Huskies baseball team swept the University of Minnesota Duluth Wednesday at Joe Faber Field. The Huskies took game one by a 3-2 final score, then walked off with a 5-4 win in game two.
Zach Metzger hit a three-run blast in game one to pace the Huskies offense, and Reese Gregory picked up the win with 5.1 innings of strong pitching to improve to 4-0 on the season. The start was Gregory's first in almost two months due to "dead arm."
In game two Gregory blasted his 16th home run of the season, which broke the single-season SCSU record of 15, shared by Jordan Smith (2010) and Zak Hoffman (2015).
The Huskies improve to 36-6 overall (21-6 NSIC) with the wins and will wrap up the regular season with a pair of doubleheaders at Minot State on Friday and Saturday.

What is palliative care?
What is palliative care?
The legal definition of palliative care varies between each Australian State and Territory. Generally however palliative care is an act or omission, medical procedure or other measures to maintain or improve the comfort of a person who is, or would otherwise be, subject to pain and suffering.
Some definitions also refer to it as the relief of pain, suffering and discomfort.
In practice, palliative care is broad and can include pain medication, oxygen, intravenous or nasogastric feeding, delivery of blood products, anti-nausea medication and anti-anxiety medication. Counselling and spiritual interventions may also provide palliative care.
What is the doctrine of double effect?
In the final stages of life, there may be concerns that palliative medication may have the unintended effect of hastening a patient's death. In this situation the 'doctrine of double effect' may apply. This recognises that giving medication (usually by a health professional) to a person to relieve pain is lawful even if it could hasten death.
The most critical element of double effect is intention. If the primary intention is to relieve pain and symptoms, not cause death, the person who gave the medication will not be criminally responsible for a death which follows, even if it is foreseen.
Double effect is likely to apply only when the patient is near death – the law is unlikely to protect the provision of medication when the patient's death is not imminent. In South Australia, it will apply only when the patient is in the terminal phase of a terminal illness.
The person administering the medication does not need to be a doctor for double effect to apply, but the law is likely to require that there is appropriate medical authorisation and supervision of the medication plan. This is specifically required by the legislation in some States and Territories
Does the doctrine apply in Australia?
The doctrine of double effect originated from moral theology, and the extent to which it is part of Australian law is uncertain. To date there has not been a court case in Australia which has specifically confirmed that the doctrine of double effect is part of Australian law. However, the doctrine has been applied by courts in similar legal systems such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and New Zealand. For this reason, it is likely to be part of Australia's common (or judge-made) law, and applies to health practitioners throughout Australia.
In practice, the doctrine has generally been accepted in the legal and medical professions, and by medical professional bodies. However, some doctors consider that properly administered palliative medication does not hasten death, and that the doctrine is not needed.
It is very likely that the doctrine will only apply to a person who is near death. The better the patient's prognosis, the less likely the doctrine will protect health professionals if death is hastened.
Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory are the only States and Territories that have introduced legislation containing versions of the doctrine of double effect. Further information about the legislation in those jurisdictions is detailed below.
Double effect in South Australia, Queensland, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory
South Australia, Queensland, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory have legislation containing versions of the doctrine of double effect. These States (but not the Australian Capital Territory) recognise that if the doctrine of double effect applies, the person who provides the medication will not be liable under the civil or criminal law for the patient's death (provided certain criteria are met).
In the Australian Capital Territory, the legislation is framed as a right to palliative care in certain circumstances so how it excuses criminal liability is less clear. This is discussed further below.
South Australia
Under the Consent to Medical Treatment and Palliative Care Act 1995 (SA) section 17, a medical practitioner or someone supervised by a medical practitioner, who hastens a person's death through medical treatment or care is not liable in civil or criminal law for the person's death if:
- it is consented to, administered without negligence and in good faith with the intention of relieving pain or distress;
- it is provided in accordance with proper professional standards of palliative care; and
- the person is in the terminal phase of a terminal illness (i.e. the person has an illness or condition that is likely to result in death, and there is no real prospect of recovery or a remission in symptoms).
The Criminal Code (Qld) section 282A states that a doctor, or someone authorised in writing by the doctor, who hastens a patient's death through palliative care, is not criminally responsible for the patient's death if the palliative care is:
- to maintain or improve the comfort of a person who is subject to pain and suffering; and
- provided in good faith and with reasonable care and skill, and is reasonable and in accordance with good medical practice.
There is no specific requirement that the person be near death for the section 282A excuse to apply. However, their condition, including whether they are close to death, would be relevant when the health professional considers whether providing the palliative care is 'reasonable'.
Western Australia
The Criminal Code (WA) section 259 states that a person who hastens a patient's death through medical treatment (including palliative medication) is not criminally responsible for that patient's death if the treatment:
- was provided in good faith;
- was provided with reasonable care and skill; and
- was reasonable, having regard to the patient's state at the time and all the circumstances of the case.
The legislation does not require that a patient be terminally ill. However, this will be relevant in considering whether providing the palliative medication is reasonable, and the patient's state at the time. The Western Australian excuse will apply where the need for palliative care arises because the patient has refused life-sustaining treatment (see the case of Brightwater Care Group v Rossiter below).
Australian Capital Territory
The Medical Treatment (Health Directions) Act 2006 (ACT) section 17 and the Powers of Attorney Act 2006 (ACT) s86 provides a right for a person to receive 'relief from pain, suffering and discomfort to the maximum extent that is reasonable in the circumstances'. These provisions will apply only where a person is under the care of a health professional and has given a health direction directing medical treatment be withdrawn or withheld, or where the person's attorney has made this decision. The effect of this law is uncertain but the legal position in the ACT is likely to reflect the common law (i.e. the doctrine of double effect).
The legislation does not specifically require that a patient have a terminal illness in order to apply.
Does the patient have to be terminally ill for the doctrine of double effect to apply?
As discussed above, it is very likely that the doctrine will only apply to a person who is near death. This has been the state of patients in the cases that have come before the courts to date. The better the patient's prognosis, the less likely the doctrine will protect health professionals if death is hastened.
The law on this issue in the States and Territories which have legislation (Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory) is detailed in the previous section. South Australia's law specifically requires that the person must be in the terminal phase of a terminal illness for the section 17 excuse to apply.
Who can administer the medication?
The legislation in Western Australia refers to a 'person' providing the palliative medication, and therefore a doctor is not the only person able to administer the medication. In Queensland however a doctor must order the care, and the doctor must give written authorisation. In South Australia, the treatment may be given by a 'medical practitioner responsible for the treatment or care of a patient', or a person supervised by that medical practitioner who participates in the person's treatment or care.
In terms of the common law, health law academics argue the doctrine should be available to those who are authorised by doctors to administer palliative medication. This would include nurses, but also others such as non-professional carers and family members, given palliative care is increasingly being provided in the community.
How do you know whether the health professional intends to relieve pain and suffering, or intends to hasten a patient's death?
It is very difficult to prove that a health professional intended to kill a patient or hasten his or her death. Examples of behaviour which may suggest this include where:
- a health professional gives the patient a drug that has no pain-relieving properties; or
- a drug is prescribed at twice the lethal level.
What if the health professional was negligent in providing palliative medication, but did not intend to cause the patient's death?
The doctrine of double effect may still apply where a health professional is negligent and does not intend to cause death.
However, if the health professional was grossly negligent or careless, such as administering a grossly careless medication overdose, then the doctrine of double effect may not excuse the health professional, and he or she may be criminally liable for the patient's death (i.e. may be prosecuted for murder or manslaughter).

The reason we face so much divisiveness in today's world is that we are fighting change. Men have long held the reigns of power and have been largely self-interested in running the world. Now we are asked to share that power and many find that grating.
As a gender, this is where we can grow the most. Patriarchal thinking has to go. Women account for over half the world's population. There are all sorts of sexual orientations. There are people of many colors and creeds. It is time to embrace them all. Fighting this change only makes something that should be wonderful and welcomed into something that can be quite horrendous.
I think being a good man today means standing up to protect those that are struggling to achieve equality.

The loss of business due to light rail construction should be investigated, Member for Yerrabi James Milligan said.
Mr Milligan wants the support of Labor and the Greens to help employees and business owners impacted by light rail construction.
"I am inundated with complaints that construction noise, dust and obstructions is driving customers away from local businesses," Mr Milligan said.
"Across the board businesses are reporting a drop in trade of 30 to 50 per cent and in some areas, this has been going on for almost 18 months.
"Many business owners are reducing staff to extend the life of their business.
"If businesses are going under as a result of light rail construction, it is only right that the government acknowledges and rectifies the situation.
"I am seeking the support of all members of the Assembly to launch an investigation into the loss of business due to light rail construction," Mr Milligan concluded.

Can you purchase silver with cryptocurrency?
Even though cryptocurrencies are ruled out mainstream, the digital money is acquiring popularity as a means of purchasing precious metals similar to silver and gold. This is mostly because of their convenience, low deal charges, and enhancing approval.
They additionally offer safety and personal privacy, as purchases over a blockchain network are understood to be impregnable by hackers. Taking into consideration the extensive trouble of information breach, crypto resembles a breath of fresh air.

I'm hitting all my Kiwi music favourites up on Youtube today. In less than two weeks I'm making my regular February pilgrimage to the sweet shores of Aotearoa. I always get really nervous before a trip home – what if everything has changed? What if I've changed too much? What if none of my friends love me anymore? What if I decide I can't leave again? I just become a stressed out knot of feelings. I'm not ready to leave London yet, but New Zealand in the summer is just so damn amazing…

My not-so secret? I'm a blubberer. I get weepy at tiny animals, internet onions, thoughts of home, and heart-warming stories of people being nice on the tube. I can trace it back to the first time I watched E.T. at my grandmother's house, and spent the evening wiping my snotty nose into my sleeves. So when I saw Frank Warren's, founder of PostSecret, TED presentation, I lost it. Watch right through to the end, or skip ahead to 8:30.
I love plums. The smell of them takes me back to being a kid running loose in my aunt and uncle's orchard. My tribe of cousins and I were forever in trouble for climbing the trees and attempting to scoff all the fruit before it was ripe (hello tummy aches). We'd tear strips of fluffy lichen off the plum trees, and fashion them as beards, and attempt to feed plums to the ponies in the next paddock. These delicious, juicy little fruits are in season now and what better way to make the most of their abundance than by making plum-cake? This recipe/video by Thomas Blanchard is particularly tasty – I love the floating typography.

How Can I Finally Let Shame Go for Good?
The concepts of guilt and shame are closely linked. There are some differences, but it really boils down to how a person feels about themselves, particularly after a challenge such as addiction. Recovery is a time to loose the chains and finally embrace freedom from shame, which can hinder recovery. Find out how to do this and start to move forward.
Shame Game
There is nothing inherently wrong with shame. Shame actually is a natural response to feeling bad about something we might have done wrong. The idea is that shame is a motivator for people to get on with their lives after addiction, but it does not always work that way. Sometimes it works in quite the opposite fashion and it turns into a prideful, vengeful way of thinking which keeps building on itself, never really producing anything helpful. The following are five reasons why releasing shame can help people reclaim their lives:
- Shame Fuels Addiction. Shame is born out of a sense of unworthiness and inferiority. It can lead to hopelessness. If a person feels hopeless, what reason does that person have to pursue recovery since nothing is worthwhile. Shame can make a person feel less worthy of seeking help, pushing them further into the spiral of addiction.
- Shame Increases Relapse Risk. Feelings of shame about the past are associated with an increased risk of relapse. Shame does more harm than good and pushes them to avoid dealing with addiction head on.
- Shame is Unproductive. Shame is more of a conclusion of 'I am bad,' while guilt is more of an acknowledgement. With guilt, a person can accept personal responsibility for what happened which opens up the opportunity for making amends. Shame is limiting and does not support personal empowerment.
- Shame and Resentment. Shame is an ineffective motivator in that it simply does not work. It is a combination of failure and pride, which seeks to be perfect at all times. Too much pride can have control over a person, zapping their energy. Releasing shame and pride can help provide more energy and peace for the journey ahead.
It is not easy to let go of shame. It can help release stress for the work of admitting a problem exists but addiction is about more than shame. It is also about making better choices, finding better people to spend time with in sobriety and changing personal outlook on life. It has to do with a person's choices to release themselves of the toxic beliefs that build up over time and admitting the powerlessness over addiction and seeking help for the recovery journey ahead.
Serenity supports your journey with myriad programs and resources designed to help you get clean and sober. Whatever it is you need, we will help you discover the best pathway to recovery for you. Call us 24/7 at our toll-free number: 844-339-6964

Have you gotten your recent copy of MaryJanesFarm yet? Well if you have, did you see the darling dish drainer quilts? When I saw them, I knew I had to make one right away. So clever too, they take the place of those nasty plastic drainer under a dish rack! No more icky and difficult to clean drainer! I don't use one at our house, but with the cabin nearing completion, I will definitely need one there! Basically, it is a tiny quilt! Without any hand quilting!I also put a running chicken on mine (reminds me of our "girls" when they see us coming into the barnyard). I can't remember where I got the design.....sorry. The picture above shows more of the goodies I made or bought this week for the cabin.

Discovery announces partnership with Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka
Press release • Mar 28, 2018 14:05 CAT
Discovery announces partnership with Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka
28 April 2018
Discovery Limited, the South African-founded financial services organisation guided by the core purpose of making people healthier and enhancing and protecting lives, has confirmed that they will be the Official Wellness Partner of another global sports team this year. In 2016, Discovery became the Official Wellness Partner for the South African Olympic team for Rio, and in 2018 they have partnered with the first African team to compete in the Tour de France, Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka.
Iona Maclean, Discovery's Head of Sponsorships, says; "Discovery seeks to encourage a new generation of health, wellness and innovation by partnering with like-minded global ambassadors, such as Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka."
"Sports teams are leveraging the latest innovation in technology to significantly enhance their performance and transform the way they approach a race," says Douglas Ryder, a former South African professional cyclist and Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka principal. "We are excited to partner with Discovery because they share this vision of high performance and sustainable growth through innovation. By applying data-driven research and real-time technology, together we are able to consistently achieve pinnacles of success."
At the heart of Team Dimension Data is the Qhubeka project. "Our greater purpose is to continue to mobilise people in Africa through the Qhubeka project and provide an international platform for the #BicyclesChangeLives campaign," says Ryder.
Maclean agrees that Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka is a celebration of Africa and its sporting culture at the highest level. "We recognise the struggle of communities with limited transport options and acknowledge that bicycles are tools of change. We want to support this driving force behind the team's success by setting a target to raise funds for 500 bicycles to help people get to work and children get to school. Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka are an extraordinary team in every way – from the scientific approach and intense training, to their commitment to broader society – we look forward to being their Official Wellness Partner."
Recently signed to the Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka, Nicholas Dlamini, is a great example of this extraordinary African story. Raised in the Capricorn settlement in Muizenberg, Dlamini (was crowned King of the Mountains at the recent Tour Down Under in Australia and) is hoping to become the first black South African to ride in the Tour de France. "It has always been a dream of mine to ride for a South African team based in Europe, and maybe one day a black South African cyclist will be wearing the leader's jersey at the Tour de France."
Reinardt Janse van Rensburg, nicknamed "The Beast", is another example of an individual achieving greatness for South African sport. Starting his career with MTN-Qhubeka (now Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka), Janse van Rensburg was touted as arguably the best lead-out man in the world at the 2017 Tour de France. "I'm really proud to be part of Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka, because of the uniqueness of the team and the history that we are creating for Africa. I am also passionate about the work that we are doing for Qhubeka in uplifting communities in our country."

Pyrography or pyrogravure is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a poker. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning. The term means "writing with fire", from the Greek pur (fire) and graphos (writing)
Pyrography is just one of the amazing activities that have been undertaken in upcycling – just ask the children !

Sofa Company
Sofa Company started with a dream to challenge the existing furniture industry. Founders Cathrine and Christian Rudolph wanted to do this by creating beautiful furniture of high quality, with honest low prices. Their unique Danish retro and modern designs are currently concurring the world with a simple business concept: exclusive online sales, showrooms where customers can try out and feel the furniture and direct supply from their own factory in Vietnam. Sofa Company choose to cut away all the middlemen and to handle all stages of the process themselves.
The company's mission is to offer affordable great furniture design of high quality materials. The experience of great value for money is important. Their pieces are shaped by their own designers with optimum aesthetics in mind and attention to the tiniest details. Customers can order ready made products, but they can also customize over fifty pieces of furniture to their own taste and colour.
Future of furniture
The founders believe that production and retail will fuse together in the future and that the distance between producer and customer will be much shorter. This will result in a responsive furniture industry. The company is currently partially owned by private equity investors, but the founders are still in the lead. Turnover is about 50 million euro, with double digit growth annually. Headquarters is based in Denmark with local offices and showrooms in Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, South Africa, Vietnam and Malaysia. The Dutch office started in 2013 and is located in Arnhem, a city known for its creative spirit. There are showrooms in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Arnhem and Antwerp with plans for a total of 4 or 5 in The Netherlands and 2 or 3 in Belgium.
Passion for design and happy customers are key for everyone that works at Sofa Company. Business is booming and the team is dynamic and hands on to strive to have high quality in all processes and service. The company's culture is result oriented, down-to-earth, open and honest.

Donburi 丼
Rice, revamped
Rice with a topping: a simple but delicious food, consumed from one end of Japan to the other.
The donburi is a staple dish of Japanese cuisine. The name reflects its simplicity, since the word, sometimes abbreviated as don, literally means "big bowl" in Japanese.
The principle is simple: a bowl filled with steamed white rice, or gohan, crowned with a topping (often a soft omelet with onions accompanied by meat or fish). Note that even if there are more popular recipes than others, one can create their own donburi with the ingredients they want, this practice even has a name: pâsonaru-don ("personal-don"). Its popularity stems from the fact that the donburi is both simple to prepare and very filling.
Various donburi
Here are some of the most popular donburi in Japan, which should definitely be sampled if you get the opportunity:
Unadon - 鰻 丼
A bowl of rice topped by grilled eel. The unadon was the first donburi ever served. It was invented in the Edo period (1603-1867) to allow viewers to eat during the long hours of Noh theatre performances, quickly and discreetly. The idea caught on and during the Meiji era (1868-1912) became a staple dish.
Katsudon - カツ丼
A bowl of rice topped with a breaded pork cutlet accompanied by softly-cooked egg and onions.
Oyakodon - 親子丼
The name of this type of donburi literally means "parent and child bowl" a somewhat disturbing name referring to the fact that the main ingredients are chicken and egg.
Gyudon - 牛丼
A bowl of rice topped with thinly sliced simmered beef and onions. It can also be served with egg.
Kaisendon - 海鮮丼
This is one of the few cold donburi, which is topped with sashimi (raw fish and other seafood).
Tendon - 天丼
This is the only donburi of the list that can be vegetarian. It consists of a bowl of rice topped by tempura, batter-fried vegetables (and pieces of meat, fish or shrimp), drizzled with a soy-based sauce.

Wonderful Chocolates
Every year my one friend sends me homemade chocolates he purchases at Yetter's Candies for my birthday. They are wonderful, they melt in your mouth. I have on a couple of trips to Pittsburgh stopped in this wonderful little store too. Nice and quaint candy shop.

We all love their chocolate!
We have been ordering from them for as long as I remember. When we moved to VA, we continued to order from them. Now I have moved to NY and I still order from them. They have the creamiest chocolate. My husband is hooked on them now also. You can have 2 pieces of chocolate side by side and you will know which one is Yetters! My other favorite thing is the flying saucers from them. If you have had one, you know what I am talking about. If you haven't, then you NEED to. I look forward to Easter every year. I have to try them for Christmas. Although it is a special treat once a year.
Wonderful Little Store
Wonderful Little Store: Wonderful little store that makes it own chocolate candy that is the best in the burg. From the minute you walk in the door it's like stepping into the past with its old fashioned soda fountain and glass case with all the penny candy that I loved as a child. They serve lunch and have a small deli where you can purchase lunchmeats,cheeses,eggs, bacon, & bread. Before the flood they made their own ice cream which was the best I have ever tasted but the flood destroyed their ice cream maker and the ice cream they serve now is no where near as good as the their homemade ice cream.The store is a must for anyone with a nostalgic bone in their body. I highly recomend this one of a kind store. SEE POST

We shall be reducing the number of phlebotomy appointments we offer. We will also be restricting patients who can book their blood tests at the practice. Patients who are elderly (75+), or patients who have a disability or long term condition can have their bloods at the practice. All other patients should be redirected to Arndale House in Luton, our Priory Medical Centre in Dunstable. This is at the clinician's discretion however, and if a clinician feels that the patient should have their blood test here even if they are not in one of the categories listed above, they can be booked
As of the 1st June 2017, we are no longer providing urine sample pots. If you need to provide a specimen and are seeing a clinician you will be provided with a disposable specimen pot. However, if you require a specimen pot for anything else, you will need to purchase a specimen pot from your local pharmacy or provide the specimen in a sterile container.
The Luton and Dunstable Hospital have recently changed their guidance regarding urine sample pots. They will only accept boric acid (red top) for specimens being sent to the hospital lab for processing however, if a sample is provided in the white top sample bottles, it will be rejected by the lab. However, if the clinician urine dip's the sample, this can only be done in a white topped bottle which isn't provided by the hospital anymore. We cannot urine dip a sample in a boric acid (red top) sample bottle as it will provide us with a false reading.
If you are a diabetic patient, you will still be provided with the monovette urine sample kits for your annual review.
The Care Quality Commission inspected our surgery on the 16th February 2016. Overall we were given a 'Good' rating and achieved an 'Outstanding' rating for caring for vulnerable patients. The full report can be viewed by clicking here.

My mother-in-law, Laurene H Williamson, was admitted to Palliative Care on April 3. She then was a resident at a local nursing home.
Within a few days it was obvious to the visiting Hospice nurse that Laurene needed a level of care that could not be provided in her current residence. Therefore, on Saturday, April 7 the nurse very quickly arranged for her transfer to Elizabeth House. That transfer was done so efficiently and carefully due to the insight of the Hospice nurse.
Immediately upon arrival at EH Laurene was visited by the remarkable staff, her condition evaluated, and a new drug protocol was established that made her comfortable and peaceful. Soon thereafter, we were visited by Doctor Hart who patiently explained to us what they would try to accomplish in providing care to Laurene. She was thorough and thoughtful in her explanation to us about the process of dying that Laurene would experience. During the next two days Doctor Hicks visited and kept the family well aware of Laurene's condition. The positive attitude of the medical team gave us much confidence that Laurene would be tenderly and lovingly taken care of. What we all appreciated was the honesty, sensitivity, and tenderness the medical staff showed to Laurene and to us her family members.
Prior to the transfer, Laurene told me that she was not afraid of death but did not want to suffer while dying. I shared that with the EH staff and they showed their understanding and did provide Laurene the peace and calmness she desired. Each nurse and CNA that visited the room showed very clearly their devotion and love of their ministry to Laurene and us. We can never thank them enough for their care.
My wife and I spent each night in Laurene"s room and we experienced first hand the continuous care the staff provides to patients during the night. Each nurse or CNA visit allowed us to keep informed about her condition, and no question of ours was not answered. Special mention must go to Nurse Nancy who was with Laurene for the last three nights of Laurene's life.
Laurene died at 6:13 AM on Tuesday, April 10, with my wife sitting with her holding her mother's hand as she passed into eternal life. The nursing and CNA staff was respectful and supportive while other nearby family members came to say goodbye to their mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
What can I say about this experience? I am a Hospice volunteer doing home care and always had a high opinion of Four Seasons staff, but this time I was on the receiving end of that care.
My wife and I have decided that when our time comes to go peaceably into the night, we want that to happen at Elizabeth House.
God bless everyone that touched Laurene during her last days.
-Tim and Sandra Almy

Joel Quenneville saw that Sergei Bobrovsky was rounding into form on Saturday after a strong performance against his old team. He rewarded him by starting him on Sunday despite being the second game in as many days. Bob delivered once again. After making 33 saves in the 4-1 win over Columbus, Bobrovsky stopped 30 of 31 shots in the 5-1 win over the Sharks. Yes, the season has been worst case scenario to this point for Bob. However, there's still plenty of time to turn it around and I think we see it. Sure, maybe he won't be the top 5 goalie he's been in the past, I can almost guarantee that. However, he could end up being a #1 again and for that reason alone, he's a great trade target. Over the rest of this month, he plays Tampa twice and Boston, with some decent offenses and poor ones mixed in. However, look at this January schedule: OTT, BUF, PIT, ARZ, VAN, DET, MIN, CHI. Not exactly a murderer's row. In fact, they don't even play Tampa again after this month. If I owned Bob, which I do, I'm being patient because I think it's going to turn around. Let's take a look at what else happened over the weekend:
Milan Lucic
It was less than a week ago that James van Riemsdyk was placed on the fourth line for the Flyers and Scott Gordon had a private meeting with him. Since then, JVR has taken off, with a monster game coming on Monday. He scored a hat trick to give him 5+2 in his last 3 games. Look, we know how good of a player JVR can be; he's been a top 100 player the past few seasons. However, he only has two games the rest of the week, and then he doesn't have a game for all of next week with the Flyers on a bye week. Therefore, I wouldn't be holding him right now. I'd be willing to stream him on Wednesday and Saturday, but I'd cut bait then. However, with a very heavy schedule starting 1/28, including a lot of bad teams, I would look to grab JVR at the All-Star break to get three games in four nights after that break. Then, we see how he does in those three games, and proceed from there. Here's a look at what else happened on Monday night:
It's not exactly breaking news that John Tavares moves the needle for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He showed why he was worth the mammoth contract on Sunday, scoring a hat trick on seven shots with two PIM in the 7-6 win over the Blackhawks. The main thing that I want to talk about here is Toronto in general. This offense is incredible, but they also remain a sieve defensively. I have a hard time treating them among the truly elite teams in the league until that is tightened up, at least somewhat. That's why I picked them to finish third in the division again. But for us in fantasy, stream everyone you can for the Leafs, and against them for that matter. I'd have a hard time playing any goalie against them right now; it better be someone that's damn good. They're a fantasy gold mine on both sides. Let's take a look at what else happened over the weekend:
Hey guys! Sven back with 31 in 31 and the Edmonton Oilers! Over the next month, I will be taking a look at each team's players to watch out for going into the 2018-19 fantasy hockey season: The 31 in 31 daily segment. This analysis features everything from surefire studs, to sleepers, to prospects that may make an appearance at some point this season. Please let me know if you guys enjoy this type of material! Reminder that the stat totals are from last season.
Instead of my usual Monday daily notes, I am going to update my list of holds and streams for every NHL team. This should help everyone out quite a bit in companion with my Playoff Schedule Manifesto. I will also add in some notes where I feel like they're necessary, either to explain myself, or some quick thoughts on a player. Let's get right to it!
Am I shocked at how well the Jets are doing? No. Reid and I talked about the Jets' ceiling on the Central Division podcast and we said that second place is certainly within the realm of possibility (I guess we sold them a little short, first is in play). Long term readers know how much I love Connor Hellebuyck. The only reason I was scared off a bit for redrafts is that Kevin Cheveldayoff said that Steve Mason would be their starter to open the season. Well, Mason was lit up in his first game as a Jet and the rest is history. Hellebuyck continued his outstanding breakout season over the weekend, saving 30 of 31 shots in the 2-1 SO win over the Flames on Saturday, then a 29 save shutout in the 1-0 win against the Canucks on Sunday. Hellebuyck is currently the #2 goalie on the season, and while there's a chance he falls off a little bit (I'm certain he'll finish as a #1G), I think he's solidified himself as the #2 goalie in dynasty leagues. The Jets are going to be really good for a long time and Hellebuyck will be a big reason and also a beneficiary of the talent around him. Let's take a look at what else happened over the weekend:
Growing up, the Avalanche were always my second favorite team. My grandpa was a huge Peter Forsberg fan and it didn't interfere with my Sabres since they were in the Western Conference. I've always kept a close eye on them even though my rooting interests are now firmly with the Sabres and "Team Whoever I Bet In Game X." Anyways, Gabriel Landeskog has been a personal favorite of mine in this new Avalanche era. He became the youngest captain in the league when it wasn't cool to make your young top pick a captain. Landeskog won the Calder and led the Avs on a massive warpath to a shocking #1 seed in 2013-14. When I started at Razzball, things looked on the up for Landeskog at 23 years old. Then, like the rest of the Avalanche organization, Landeskog struggled mightily. Thankfully for all of us fantasy owners, he's back. Landeskog had the best game of his career on Saturday scoring a hat trick and two assists with five shots against the Lightning. Sure, the Avs lost, but it doesn't change his stat line for us! The Kog now has 13+11 in 28 games with a strong plus-minus and solid PIM plus shots. In fact, I'd be surprised if the penalty minutes don't jump soon. It's amazing that Landeskog just turned 25 so he's not even in his prime yet. Look for him to be a top 100 player for the rest of the season and for at least the next few years. Let's take a look at what else happened over the weekend:
Reid and I talked about Tristan Jarry extensively on last week's podcast. We said that he should be picked up immediately with Matt Murray out for at least a few weeks, mostly because the Penguins had a back-to-back against the hapless Sabres. Well, Jarry delivered and then some in both games. He started off with a 34 save shutout in Buffalo before allowing 1 goal on 33 shots in Pittsburgh on Saturday. The schedule isn't great this week with the Rangers, Islanders, and Maple Leafs on deck, but they're all at home. At the least, Jarry is a nice spec add to see how things go against better competition. He's still available in over 70% of leagues so go grab him now. Let's take a look at what else happened over the weekend:
In Wednesday's daily notes, I said that if I could, I would be looking to buy low on all of the elite goalies. Obviously some at different levels than others, but everyone knows my love for Devan Dubnyk and the Wild as a regular season team. I own plenty of Dubnyk stock again this year and it's been nowhere near as fun as last season when he took the league by storm. Dubnyk was a monster on Thursday night stopping all 41 shots he faced in the 3-0 win over the Canadiens. Four of Dubnyk's last eight starts (yes, one has bad against Toronto Wednesday but that's Toronto) have been strong so perhaps there's something building here. Expect things for Dubnyk, and the Wild in general, to keep improving sooner than later. Let's take a look at what else happened over the last two nights:
Goals were plentiful around the NHL on Thursday night, none more than in Florida where the Panthers went eight ball, corner pocket on the Ducks. The Panthers won 8-3 with Radim Vrbata leading the way. Vrbata netted his seventh career hat trick and his first three goals as a Panther on six shots. That brings him to 9 points in 10 games with elite shots and solid PIM. I wouldn't expect the PIM to last but the points and shots should be plenty to make him a hold. He's available in over 50% of leagues right now so grab Vrbata while you can. He's a clear must own in 12'ers and probably should be owned in 10'ers as well. Let's take a look at what else happened over the last two nights:

The most sweeping anti-Movement injunction handed down in the history of the Civil Rights Movement. (I was Chair of the Strategy Committee of the Jackson Movement. ) The several page injunction sought to prohibit us from organizing and carrying out demonstrations, from conspiring to do so, and "from doing anything to consumate conspiracies" to do so. It was served on me on June 6, 1963 by a large retinue of heavily armed deputy sheriffs, wide-brim hatted, who appeared to feel they were handing me Writ from God (and not just from the Chancery Court.) We defied the injunction, of course, and did so massively.
The injunction was prepared by the late Thomas Watkins, one of Mississippi's most brilliant (if utterly twisted on race) attorneys -- used by the State as a special consultant in key civil rights cases. Here is the basic text of Watkins' piece of strange art:
"Now, therefore, you are hereby commanded and temporarily enjoined, until further order of this court, from engaging in, sponsoring, inciting or encouraging mass street parades or mass processions, or like demonstrations without a permit, unlawful blocking of the public streets or sidewalks, trespassing on private property after being warned to leave the premises by the owners or person in possession of said private property, congregating on the streets or public places as mobs, and unlawfully picketing business establishments or public buildings in the City of Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi, and from performing acts calculated to cause breaches of the peace in the City of Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi, and from conspiring to engage in unlawful street parades, unlawful processions, unlawful demonstrations, unlawful boycotts, unlawful trespassing, and unlawful picketing, and from doing any acts designed to consumate conspiracies to engage in said unlawful acts of parading, demonstrating, boycotting, trespassing and picketing or other unlawful acts and from engaging in acts and conduct customarily known as "kneel-in's" (sic) in churches in violation of the wishes and desires of said churches.
You will refrain from doing any of the foregoing acts until the further notice of this Court, upon penalty of contempt."
The first hearing on City of Jackson v. John R. Salter, Jr. was scheduled for mid-September -- 90 days away. As I say, we defied the damn thing massively.
Please use right arrow to see full photo and caption.
Bad beatings at Jackson. These occurred at the Rose Street March on June 13, 1963 -- two days after Medgar Evers was shot and killed. I was badly bruised all over and cut up in several places. [One head cut took eight stitches.} It helps to have a thick skull and tough hide. The FBI said, not surprisingly, that it just couldn't quite identify the Jackson police who clubbed me and others -- even though all major news networks carried the episode clearly. In his excellent book, "RACIAL MATTERS: THE FBI'S SECRET FILE ON BLACK AMERICA, 1960-1972, (Free Press, 1989), Professor Ken O'Reilly, discussing this beating, quotes from my FBI files: "The FBI described Salter as a"chronic complaintant," a "determined, belligerent, and confused young man...(who) obviously does not like the FBI, having without a doubt been influenced by the writings of LOWENTHAL" -- referring to the only critical book on the FBI written during the depths of the domestic cold war."

A Step-By-Step Guide to Getting a Fast Business Loan
Instead, occurrences outside of your control can make getting a loan approved quickly a necessity. Unfortunately, it can sometimes be difficult to secure a loan from the bank in time to make a difference.
When you apply for a fast business loan you should consider all your options; the good news is, you've got plenty. With that in mind, here's a step-by-step walkthrough on how to get a fast business loan:
Your Guide to Getting a Small Business Loan, Step by Step
Step 1: Identify the Issue
Before applying for a fast business loan you should have a clear idea of why you need the loan in the first place. As with any loan, taking out more than you need is a bad idea. So make sure to determine exactly how much you need and why you need it.
Step 2: Check Out the Competition
Once you're sure you need a fast business loan, you can start searching around for a bank or a lender.
Banks are more willing to approve fast loans now than they were in the past, but –– depending on your situation –– you may want to consider an alternative method. Not all lending companies are created equal, so be thorough in your search.
Step 3: Keep it Short
If you're applying for a fast business loan, it's generally better practice to seek out a short-term business loan.
Generally, you can get the cash you need quicker with a short-term loan than with a payment plan that stretches out for longer.
Step 4: Explore Other Options
Sometimes you can avoid an outright loan when starting a business by applying for a business credit card, or establishing a business line of credit.
Normally you can accomplish this in a couple of days. And rather than taking out small loan after small loan, you can consolidate what you owe with one fell swoop.
Step 5: Create a Plan
Once you've decided on a course of action, make sure to plan for life after the loan. Remember, fast business loans are a great way to fix a one-time mishap, but constantly relying on loans to extricate yourself from a jam could lead to trouble.
So strategize not only about how best to use the loan, but how to pay it off and (potentially) avoid having to do so again.

Membership, the website, swag, events... it's way too much for one person, sooner or later your quality of life and health will suffer. Whatever the plan is hopefully that's built into it.

Lipo Modelling (Fat Transfer/Lipofilling) in London
Fat transfers are also referred to as Lipofilling or Liposhifting. The technique involves harvesting fat from one or few areas of the body for injection into another area to change the shape, volume, consistency and profile of tissues, with the aim of reconstructing, rejuvenating and regenerating body features.
Fat can be transferred to almost any area of the body. The most common area treated is the face but is also becoming increasingly popular for plumping out skin on the backs of the hands, buttocks and breasts. Hollowness of the cheeks and temples can be treated and the upper cheek fat pad can be increased to give a more youthful look.
How is fat transfer performed?
Fat Transfer is the process by which fat is removed from an appropriate part of your body (donor area) and transferred into another area of the body (target area). Fat is usually removed under local anaesthesia, however if this is performed with a surgical procedure, sedation or general anaesthesia may be used. Fat is removed with a fine cannula through small puncture sites. Fat is then injected into the treatment site under local or general anaesthesia.
What are the benefits of fat transfer?
- The main advantage of fat transfer procedures is that you are using your own fat and no foreign substance is used.
- Recovery is quick
- Results are almost immediate
- Results may be unpredictable as some of the fat can sometimes be reabsorbed
- Fat necrosis and the formation of lump.

Learning How To Dance In The Rain
Posted by Gaye Abbott
"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass…
it's about learning how to dance in the rain" ~Unknown Author
Dear Richard,
Something very powerful happened to me last week. This "something" has been unfolding itself over the last month or more in a rather "stormy" time when I am TRUSTING that my bank account will soon see streams of income flowing in based on the heart and creative centered actions that I am taking one step at a time.
Instead of contracting into scarcity it was my decision to change my mindset – as you Richard so eloquently spoke of in your last post – and to "dance in the rain" instead. My dancing had to do with a regular "street person" that I see frequently as I take the same route to places that I frequent.
Mother Theresa once said, "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echos are truly endless". I believe that words, actions, smiles, creative, spontaneous, and anonymous acts of kindness and generosity all contribute to being the change we wish to see in the world.
There are opportunities all around us. Perhaps you see the person with a sign, standing on the median divider on a road well traveled, as someone who has a story to tell and gifts to give.
Who are they? What set of circumstances lead to their being there? Do you roll up your window and pretend that you are busily engaged, or do you acknowledge them with a smile or a wave, or deeper yet as a whole human being who has needs just like you do and gifts to share. Do you engage in conversation while you wait for the light to change?
One day I was curious about just such a person. His name is Joseph and his sign is a little different. He holds a picture of a friend that he has drawn and calls himself a disabled artist. Not satisfied to just give him money, I wanted to know his story. What transpired over a period of about 6 weeks was a back and forth dialog in which I challenged him to draw a self portrait which I would pay him for.
Result? We looked forward to seeing each other when I passed by and there were always a few words shared and stories told about the project that I had given him. When he came up against a perceived "roadblock" to completing this assignment we mutually brainstormed about how to get around it.
The day Joseph presented me with the piece – I parked near by and walked to the place where he stood – I was amazed at the skill and creative genius that was captured in the stunning self portrait that captured his essence. I handed him the money that I had promised. In return he was so elated to have this creative gift received in such a positive way that not only was a hug forthcoming, but there was a promise of more art to come.
Now I may never really know what impact this has made in his life, but for me I felt so much gratitude for the self-portrait and the meaning behind it. This person is making the best of his life and not willing to give up on the artistic gift that he has been given. I received from him the courage to keep taking my steps no matter what the outward monetary circumstances may be in my own life.
I might add that when I said to him one day passing by, before he finished the picture, that I knew it was more of a challenge to do a self-portrait, he said to me – "I like a challenge". And he did!
Now, if I would have never engaged him in the first place out of a place of curiosity directed from the heart, then none of this would have happened. The day that we exchanged portrait for money – all forms of energy – I felt more open and receptive to what my own life was calling me to do.
Next time there is a "storm" in my life I will be looking for the dance steps to take certain that the echos of my footsteps will be endless….will you?
With Love,

Thursday Night Football
Tennessee @ Pittsburgh (-7) (O/U 45) –
Early Sunday Afternoon Games
Detroit (-3) @ Chicago (O/U 41) – Chicago is significantly better at home, but they are coming off a tough loss that was sparked by a questionable call. Now, they have to bounce back against a Lions team that has won 2 in a row and put themselves in position to make a run. Detroit makes just enough plays. Detroit 23-21.
Jacksonville (-7.5) @ Cleveland (O/U 37) – The Jaguars are 3-0 and outscored the AFC North 97-23. And they haven't played the winless Browns. This has all the makings of another blowout as Jacksonville begins to take sole control of the division. But, things in the NFL don't make sense. Just when you think you have it figured out, something goes haywire. That's the Browns this week. Cleveland 21-20.
Baltimore (-2) @ Green Bay (O/U 38) – Green Bay won its first game without Rodgers or Favre starting at QB in almost 30 years. Now, in a crowded NFC, each home game seems like a must win. But, how will Brett Hundley perform against a upper echelon defense? I can't see him having too much success and the Ravens are coming off a bye. Baltimore 24-19.
Tampa Bay @ Miami (PK) (O/U 41.5) – In a game that was supposed to be played in Week one, these two teams come in disappointed with how their season's have unfolded. Miami is atrocious on offense, and Tampa Bay has never figured things out. Mike Evans is back for Fitzy to throw to, but I'll take the home team in a snorer. Miami 17-16.
Los Angeles Rams @ Minnesota (-2.5) (O/U 46) – The Case Keenum led Vikings have positioned themselves to make a run at the top seed in the NFC. I question whether or not they can keep it up, and Aaron Donald will make life difficult on Sunday. As for the Rams, Jared Goff will face possibly his toughest test of the year against this Minnesota defense on the road. I do think he finds some success, but not enough. Minnesota 27-24.
Washington @ New Orleans (-7.5) (O/U 51.5) – As we close in on Thanksgiving, we start to see teams pack it in who find themselves outside the playoffs. Washington had a chance to get back in the division race a week ago, but fell 4 games back in a high-scoring loss. New Orleans simply has more to play for, as Sean Payton has realized the beauty of a run game. New Orleans 30-20.
Kansas City (-10.5) @ New York Giants (O/U 46) – A double-digit underdog at home usually means the game is going to be close. Actually, almost always. But, not in this situation. Regardless of what it said at press conferences, the Giants have quit. They want nothing more than the season to be over. Kansas City 35-10.
Arizona @ Houston (-1) (O/U 38.5) – The fans got robbed in this one! What we thought was going to be a scintillating battle between Tom Savage and Drew Stanton has been replaced with Savage v. Blaine Gabbert. Don't even think about watching this game. Home team wins. Houston 21-17.
Late Sunday Afternoon Games
Cincinnati @ Denver (-2.5) (O/U 39) – Denver has lost 5 in a row and Cincinnati has lost two straight. Both sit at 3-6 and for all truly realistic chances, out of the playoff race. I like Andy Dalton more than Brock Osweiler, so I'll take the Bengals to sneak out of mile-high with a victory. Cincinnati 20-18.
Buffalo @ Los Angeles Chargers (-4.5) (O/U 43.5) – The Nathan Peterman show has begun! In the midst of a playoff push, currently with the 5th best record in the AFC, the Bills benched Tyrod Taylor. I am enamored with Peterman, though. He was one of 5 players I loved in the draft, and really think he can carve out a starting role in this league. Going across the nation to make your first start isn't ideal though. Los Angeles 27-23.
New England (-7) @ Oakland (O/U 54.5) (IN MEXICO) – The Patriots are absoluting rolling with the defense improving each week. While back to back road games are tough, doing at the altitude that they have to seems almost impossible. Unless, you have Tom Brady. Shootout alert. Pats take it. New England 34-28.
Sunday Night Football
Philadelphia (-4.5) @ Dallas (O/U 48.5) – In what could be essentially a division clinching win, Philly gets Dallas without Zeke and Sean Lee. The importance of Lee cannot be overstated as he is as important of any defensive player in the league. Philly should be able to run it at will. Philadelphia 24-20.
Monday Night Football
Atlanta @ Seattle (-3) (O/U 45) – Atlanta got the benefit on the Zeke, Sean Lee, and Tyron Smith-less Cowboys and took full advantage. Now, a trip in primetime to the 12th man awaits. Now, that's no easy task. The Seahawks are beat up in the secondary and struggle against strong pass-rushers. That place will be rocking and will be the difference in the game. Seattle 26-24.
Lock of the Week (4-6): Over 45 in Atlanta-Seattle
Other Best Bets (17-12-1):
Cleveland (+7.5) over Jacksonville
Cincinnati (+2.5) over Denver
Under 48.5 in Philadelphia-Dallas
Record ATS through Week 10: 80-64-3
Record SU through Week 10: 97-50
Record O/U through Week 10: 73-72-3

Does Penn State Have Credibility Defining What a 'Hate Group' Is?
Students at Penn 'Child Sex Abuse' State have presented demands to the administration asking the president to defund conservative "campus hate groups."
The Pennsylvania Student Power Network has joined forces with the United Socialists and other such left wing clubs to protest on Monday outside an adminstration building at one of the campuses of Pennsylvania State University. The students are upset that the school funds hundreds of clubs including ones associated with Turning Point USA and the Bull Moose Party.
Turning Point USA is a national liberty-oriented organization with local campus clubs. The Bull Moose Party is a center-left third party that was formed by President Teddy Roosevelt after losing the Republican nomination in 1912 to President Taft. The party hasn't run a serious candidate since the 1920s
Petition on 'Hate Groups'
The petition given by the students to President Eric Barron's office called conservative organizations "hate groups" that "attracted avowed white nationalists to campus." Unfortunately, everyone's learned by now that "white nationalist" is just a buzzword for "person I disagree with."
According to the petition, they demand that the campuses "formally and publicly denounce hate groups on and around campus."
But, according to Penn State's administration,
"TPUSA and the Bull Moose Party have not requested nor received any funding from the University Park Allocation Committee, the entity that distributes portions of the student-initiated fee for student organizations."
So… the students are protesting nothing, and they did so across 21 of 24 campuses.
But being wrong is no reason to pipe down, and protester Leslie Johnson said that it's also the responsibility of "right wing student organizations… to shut down hate and violence stemming from their own members."

Pennsylvania State University
Founded in 1855, Penn State currently has almost 100,000 students over 24 campuses. They offer more than 160 majors and started as the Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania. In the 1870s, the school expanded from purely agricultural studies programs into a more classical education including engineering.
Penn State Child Sex Abuse Scandal
Starting in 2011, allegations of a covered-up child sex abuse scandal hit mainstream and international media. The two main players in the case were Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky.
Also known as JoePa, Paterno was the head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lion from 1966 to 2011. He was fired in 2011 due to the sex abuse scandal. Paterno died in 2012 at the age of 85.
Jerry Sandusky coached various lines for the Penn State team starting in 1969.
Rumors and Proof of Child Sex Abuse
Rumors about the child sexual abuse committed by Sandusky started in the late 1990s, and a janitor reported that he saw the man performing oral sex on a "boy" on the campus in the year 2000. In 2002, a grad assistant reported that he told Joe Paterno that he witnessed Sandusky rape a child in a campus shower in 2002, but nothing was done.
The Second Mile was a nonprofit for underprivileged youth and their parents which was founded by Sandusky in 1977 while he was assistant coach for the football team. It was later found that Sandusky had met every single one of his victims through this charity, which had raised millions through golf tournaments and through the corporation sponsorship of companies from Bank of America, to State Farm, to US Steel, to Pepsi, to Walmart. The charity has since been dissolved.
Jerry Sandusky was arrested on November 5th, 2011, and several other men at the school were charged with crimes relating to the case, including perjury, obstruction, and child endangerment. Paterno was fired within days, and the school's president was kicked out as well. Students rioted on campus in response to the news.
[READ MORE: Sandusky Son Speaks about Family Sexual Abuse]
In 2012, days after the death of Joe Paterno from lung cancer, Sandusky is found guilty of 45 abuse charges and was handed 30 to 60 years in prison.
According to a report approved by the school's board of trustees,
"Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State. The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized."
Finally A Statue Worth Removing: Joe Paterno
As part of the aftermath of the case, an on-campus statue of Joe Paterno was removed from outside Beaver Stadium. The events caused state lawmakers to approve six new bills that deal with the definition, investigation and punishment of child abuse crimes.
In 2015, civil settlements totaling over $60 million was claimed by around two dozen of the people who were made victims of Sandusky over the previous four decades.
So, Penn State — tell us again why you get to be a moral authority on anything.
