Graduation Ceremony….Thesis Panic
Even though I thought it's hard to enjoy the graduation ceremony with the thesis still on my mind, however, when we entered the hall in the university main building, I really enjoyed the moment. The ceremony reflects how prestigious Lund university and LTH are, everything was perfect, and the best part was that the ceremony was live streamed on Youtube, … Continue reading

World's top 20
Some people say that the world universities ranking is rigged, since American universities always occupy the forefront. However, I believe that they contribute a lot to the scientific community, at least that's what I observe in my domain, through the academic journals and research they always produce. Nonetheless, all that matters to me is seeing Lund university ranks the 20th … Continue reading
Early Reunion
At this time, in the second year of master program, most students are working on their theses either in a company or at the university. I remember when we were looking forward for this moment and chatting about rumors we heard from senior students, about big name companies if they are offering thesis and what are the topics. And now, … Continue reading
Research Search
Reaching the master thesis point in my studies, really got me thinking how important is choosing the university not only based on the overall ranking but also considering the topic you want to specialize in a bit more. Probably because I was lucky that my department is one of the best in the world to contribute in the domain which … Continue reading

Learning Swedish
Swedes speak English very good, which encourages people not to learn their language, Plus, they are too nice and usually don't force foreigners to learn it.

It all began in 2010 when a friend of mine got sick and could not write a paper for a university course. Well, hiring a ghost writer solved the problem but the paper we got seemed suspicious. We looked for plagiarism detection tools that would respect privacy but could not find any. So I wrote a little tool that used google to analyze the paper in three nights. It found that almost half of the text consisted of direct copies from the internet.
With this "early success" I decided to work on the app prototype and make it available to the public. It went through many iterations until I finished the first version in February 2011 and released it on sucodo.de.
A lot of feedback from friends and users went into the design and usability to build a great experience. I am very thankful for this invaluable help.
Manuel Rülke
June 2010: The first prototype is finished. It uses Google as search engine, looks ugly but produces good results.
January 2011: First alpha release of sucodo. Unfortunately, Google changed its terms&conditions, which were (and are) too strict anyways. I switched over to using Microsoft bing.
May 2011: All features I had in mind for the first version of sucodo done. Moving to beta-stage!
June 2012: bing changed its API. I updated sucodo to make it work again. Microsoft annoucend that free usage of bing will be very limited in the future. Too limited to be of use for me.
July 2012: blekko is the new search engine used by sucodo. It works better than bing and is free. By this month, more than 10,000 texts have been analyzed with sucodo.
June 2013: I released the first official version today called "Aardvark". As many other projects, I will use animal names instead of version numbers. The release is a bugfix release. You can have a look at the changes on github. With this release I started tracking how often same phrases are used. MD5-hashes of all search queries are stored. This is an temporary measure to determine if developing a caching algorithm makes sense to increase performance.
March 2014: As the user numbers climb, blekko decided that the free tier usage I got from them was too much now. They cancelled their most generous offer so I cannot offer sucodo as free web service anymore. Users check around 200 texts (which are about 120 000 words) every day. This is a lot and would costs hundreds of dollars every month with any other service. So, I say thanks for the great service I got from blekko.
May 2015: sucodo is back with Google again. The new version is called "Baboon".
August 2015: sucodo got a technical update for its website. The tool can now be run directly in the browser again, in a local context to protect privacy. Sucodo can still be downloaded, if necessary. English and German language versions are now distributed over two domains, instead of using a query parameter.
May 2016: sucodo does not work anymore because Google switched off the Web Search API.

Nothing can be more scary to a normal thinking, intelligent woman than the ignorant signs you see plastered on fences near churches in Calaveras.
One girl explained to us what happened when she called the number. Of course, some male has made he pregnant and is now out of the picture, leaving her to suffer alone.
The person who answered and then later 'counseled' her, told her that GOD wants her to have as many children as possible, that she need to give birth and then give it away if she decides not to keep it.
This is following Trumps pronouncement that the WOMAN has to be punished in some way. If she has an abortion, she can get over it and move on, just like the man who abused her and ran.
Carrying a baby and delivering will assure that the woman will suffer in punishment and guilt for the rest of her life, because Trump says 'the woman should be punished'!!!
If you are pregnant and don't know what to do, call the nearest Planned Parenthood or email the email@example.com. We will send you to someone non-judgmental!!

House hacking nightmare

I have been renting my duplex for about 6 months to a family 3 kids and mom and dad. 1 of the kids 1 yr old. The kid is a demon. He is literally either screaming or beating on the floor all day every day. Every time he runs I can hear his feet pounding on the tile or hardwood. I have talked to the tenant about noise several times mainly about it after 9pm and nothing has changed. Everything downstairs is hard wood or tile except the bedrooms I can hear every bang noise and every scream. It is driving me insane since I work from home. I am literally going insane. Get this.. I live on the top floor.. other than noise the tenant does laundry every single day, every single freaking day.. we are planning on buying a coin washer for that problem. I need a solution please!! What can I do! I need an inexpensive sound proofing method I don't want to hear her kids anymore.. will carpet help if I put it on my floor or do I need to do something else?
I also think they are on drugs

If they have more time left on their lease than you can stand, I would review what possible "outs" you have in your lease. If they're not conforming to quite hours or some type of "respect" for other occupants you could try asking them to leave or possibly start an eviction process. I would consult with a lawyer before moving down this path to cover your bases. I've seen the spray-in foam insulation for walls, but I am not sure if it would work in a ceiling or if that's advisable. The best return on your dollar might be a pair of noise cancelling headphones. Sorry I can't be of more help, that's a sticky situation.

Haha! This is just really funny I'm sorry. I could only imagine what it's like it sounds crazy. Oh the joys of house hacking. How much longer do they have on their lease? You might have to wait it out until it's up. In my area there are some seriously sketchy neighborhoods, not in a violence kind of way but in a methy kind of way and taking them to court is just a bigger headache than letting the lease run out. I think carpet would work the best if you want to spend that money to pay for it. In lieu of putting in a coin washer/dryer, do your tenants pay for utilities? If they have to pay it might discourage them from washing so much. If that doesn't work then coin would be the best next course of action.
I currently house hack but instead of a long-term tenant I use my extra room as a vacation rental and the clientele are AWESOME. Guests don't stay long, they want good reviews so they'll be nice and quiet and usually leave the space super clean, and you get to meet some cool people. My husband and I couldn't live with someone else long-term I think we'd go crazy.

3 kids, of course she is doing laundry every day and it is in the day time while her husband is gone to work. That is what a normal family does at least I did when my 3 children were that age. I vote for headphones because you did not look for a good fit and it is not their fault.
Your tenant may be doing laundry for others. I've looked at houses that had three sets of washer and dryer hookups. But if free laundry was part of the deal when they signed the lease you can't really change that now.
People call me crazy for only doing month to month leases. But its exactly what you need. "Quite down or I will terminate the lease."

As a parent, I can say I don't do laundry every day, but when I do it (every couple of days), it ends up being 2-3 loads worth... Also I can't imagine how you could keep a 1 year old, or any kid, from running and making noise all day. That is what they do. My 3 and 4.5 year olds like to jump from tables and couches... I couldn't imagine a tenant anywhere near me!

Ouch, that sounds kind of stiff. I'd check with an attorney for fair housing issues before doing anything because the problem is involving a kid. For a nice soundproofing method, I'd plug in some headphones and turn on the BiggerPockets podcast and listen to it all day? There may be enough episodes to last the duration of the lease.

Take this as a lesson going forward. What type of tenant can you share walls with?
Just crank up some Marilyn Manson during the day.... haha.
Don't renew the lease. Not sure what else you can do. Check the lease and see what your options are. See if they are violating anything in it.
I'm house hacking currently. Got one tenant who works at the hospital. Families will make some noise.
Thomas S.
replied over 1 year ago
M2M is your best option especially for house hacking. Assuming there is only 6 months left on the lease you may have to wait it out and non renew. Alternately you give notice regarding the noise and when it continues you evict.
Next time you screen applicants you may have to risk discriminating in order to insure this problem does not repeat. Most would be opposed to discrimination however when it comes to choosing tenants it is better for a applicant you believe will not fit the unit to be rejected than risk being evicted.
From your post, I am assuming you don't have kids! Yes, it is completely normal to have to do laundry everyday if you have 3 kids, especially a toddler! Yes, they make tons of noise and yes, it is incredibly stressful at times! I understand how this would drive you crazy, but please don't assume that a coin washer will deter a mother from making sure her kids have clean clothing. Also, the 1 yr old might be getting potty trained, at least possibly introducing it, every family is different so that's another thing. Also cloth diapers are pretty popular now, so that might be another reason.
What I'm really getting at it that having to do laundry everyday with 3 kids is completely normal. I had to do laundry pretty much everyday when my son was a toddler and I just had 1 kid, with 3 it's pretty much a guarantee. They get into things you would never imagine!
Do you have the utilities separate? Its not fair that you should be absorbing the cost of doing laundry so much if you dont.
Since you work from home, you may be able to soundproof your office. If you do a Google search for acoustic soundproofing, there are many different options that could help you out for now. Good luck!!!
if you think there may be drugs involved, that is another issue completely since there are children in the house.

I would give them a heads up and let them know you will not be renewing their lease, That you would accept mutual lease termination with 1 months notice. They don't care about the noise, or you, and noise violations as you being the landlord are probably not a court worthy eviction cause,, especially with out police calls.. you don't have to say why your non-renewing just your non-renewing.
Put coin op washer in ,, a load a day for family of 5 is pretty normal, and who cares if they don't like it. I doubt the washer and dryer is listed as an appliance on the lease. if it's not in there unit, you can do what you want.
how many bedrooms is this lower unit..??
Think about how your going to lessen the noise next time around. If it's a 2 br unit,, I would limit the number of people to 3, you don't have to do the normal "2 people" per bedroom, you can, but as long as you stay under that level for occupancy your life is like 1 extra person you don't have to deal with.. list it as 1 br with den ... and even cut your noise down more and limit occupancy to 2 people.. that would be perfect.

wow are you trying to tell me a 1 year old is making noise? Unbelievable. I thought toddlers were supposed to be seen and not heard. I had the same issue with my next door neighbor. My demon 4 year old kept making noise and just refused to stop playing and laughing sometimes loudly. Now mind you I own my townhouse so it's a bit different. I encouraged him that the next time my demon son disturbed him at 6 in the afternoon please call LAPD...and he did. LAPD issued him a big fat ticket for wasting their time and told him if he calls again more tickets were coming. Let's just say I chuckle every time I see him. Next time you ride past a school what do you hear? I hear lots of noise and laughter. I've yet to meet a demon 1 year old but a lot of nasty entitled adults.
You mentioned working from home. Perhaps you can just have your workspace sound proofed to save money from sound proofing your entire home. Check your state laws and lease to find out how much notice you need to give the tenants notice that you are not renewing. Then give the tenants proper notice and when the lease expires replace them with new tenants without young children. Otherwise you are likely to face the same problem again.
If you have evidence of drug use or see drug activity then notify the police. If they are arrested for drug activity at home that will make it easier for you to evict them.
It is a 3 bedroom Deanna! I love your answers lol. No washer and dryer not on the lease.
I know for a fact that she is doing drugs and I am not talking about weed her pupils look like pen points. I also cannot afford at this time to do anything about it because I need the rent, and I have not seen any signs that the kids are neglected or mistreated other than the one year old crying all day. The demon part was obviously a joke but the amount of noise is not normal or ok. I do not have kids but I have tons of family that have them and by no means have any of their houses ever sounded like my downstairs but of course that is probably because they are responsible sober adults. No responsible adult would allow the kind of noise simply out of respect loud laughing is one thing, but screaming and crying all day plus beating on the walls and floor constantly with who knows what is something completely different, no sane adult would want to listen to this extreme amount of noise all day unless of course they are so high that they don't care.
I would suggest working on increasing your savings ASAP if you feel that you can't afford to lose the tenants. Cut back on your non necessities and put that money away for when the tenants stop paying and even potentially damage your property resulting in costly repairs. If they are truly using drugs it is only a matter of time before they stop paying the rent. I would also do periodic inspections to make sure they are not destroying the inside.

That is what acoustic ceiling supposed to do. The new laminated wood popular costs like $2.25/sf has bubbling underlayer. At Home Depot they have 3 different grades. It will attenuate the noise somewhat. Also when that little 1 year friend jumps up and down it will soften the vibration. I think you need to get rid of them asking them to start looking.

I was in the same situation with my house hack. I inherited the tenants when I purchased. The women and her family were complete low lifes. Her husband was in and out of jail. Her 40 year old, unemployed pot head son lived there and all his thug friends hung out there. I wanted her out but it wasn't worth the hassle to go through the eviction process. They paid on time and I didn't want to risk getting sued for discrimination. Keep in mind this was in ultra liberal Seattle and a section 8 tenant. I stuck it out for the remainder of the lease and just didn't renew. Simple
Just make sure to give the minimum notice your state requires.

Okay, you got my attention. You don't do more than month leases? @Jon Holdman
@Jacob Barnhart yes, month to month only. A long term lease, IMHO, ties the landlords hands more than the tenants. If it becomes essential, tenants will leave, lease or not. You have only limited recourse. But if a tenant becomes a problem, like described here, your ability to get them to leave is also limited. With a month to month lease, you terminate the lease. With proper notice, of course.

These are in fact '10 facts about myself', but somehow that didn't have a good ring to it.
Sophia, why are you letting us know these potentially interesting things about yourself? I hear you ask and that is indeed a fantastic question. Well my keen-eyed reader, I think ones audience feels better when one reveals more about oneself. They take comfort in knowing who they are taking an interest in. Gee whiz, thank you Sophia! Now I understand. (In super hero voice) Anytime my friend. Anytime.
So let us begin!
1. Beer. Yes, beer. Ksssssssss oh the heavenly sound of a cold can opening on a hot summers day is pure bliss!
2. Sometimes I can't tell my sisters apart. You'd think the fact that they aren't twins would help but... I also occasionally call them the wrong name too... I'm a bad sister.
3. There is a possibility that I may be Miranda Harts long lost sister. Or cousin. Well when I say possibility I mean that I have been compared to her more that a few times. As well as being a fan of her TV show... such fun!
4... is one of my favourite numbers. Number five just seems so pompous.
5. I have a one of a kind of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe pop art. To be clear, it is only a poster copy and I once tried to stick a fake moustache on the upper lip. It didn't cling on as well as I hoped but dear Marilyn still has a shadow there of where it once was.
|I am proud of this.
6. In 2011 I did I skydive which nearly made my bodily fluids erupt from all possible areas... but they didn't so we're all good. Snaps for Sophia!
7. I can recite the films Blazing Saddles, Monty Python And The Holy Grail, and the musicals Rent and The Producers word for word from start to finish. Some people think it's not something to be proud of, whereas I believe it is a great power. And with great power comes great responsibility does it not?... Why am I asking you?
8. I only joined twitter last Sunday. Yay! I tried to resist the mainstream, but alas I failed. 'Tweeting' is now officially part of my vocabulary.
9. I have a huge girl crush on Katy Perry. Oh and Rihanna. If I have to explain to you why, you better dig yourself out of that hole you have been living in for the past 5 years.
10. My dog took a shit in the middle of the road the other day. Just thought you might like to know...

Nicki Minaj partnering with MAC Cosmetics for new lipstick shades is technically old news but I think I may have discovered a new development!
While flipping through the pages of Harper's Bazaar, I came across an ad for Nicki's Viva Glam pink lipsticks when my eye was awkwardly drawn to her fake boobs then immediately drifted down to her shoes. It was then I realized one of these things is not like the other.
So maybe this isn't a huge deal but it's literally bothering my soul that one shoe is not completely on in the ad. Did the creative director have a meaning behind this? Did the graphic designer play a photoshop joke in post production? Did the on-set stylist not do a once-over before the photos were snapped? Whhhhy is her shoe not completely on?
If you're reading this and know the answer to the questions that plague me, please let me know! And if you don't really care about Niki's shoe and just want to see the lipsticks, you can check them out here.

We establish some general schemes relating the computational complexity of a video game to the presence of certain common elements or mechanics, such as destroyable paths, collectible items, doors opened by keys or activated by buttons or pressure plates, etc. Then we apply such "metatheorems" to several video games published between 1980 and 1998, including Pac-Man, Tron, Lode Runner, Boulder Dash, Pipe Mania, Skweek, Prince of Persia, Lemmings, and Starcraft. We obtain both new results, and improvements or alternative proofs of previously known results.

Novel depicting Japanese-Americans' struggles wins Mishima Yukio literary prize
(Mainichi Japan)
Author Yusuke Miyauchi on May 16 received the 30th Mishima Yukio Prize for his novel "Kabul no sono" ("Garden of Kabul"), depicting the struggles of Japanese-Americans.
"Just being nominated for this award was like winning the lottery," the 38-year-old Tokyo native said at a press conference. "Actually receiving it was like being struck by lightning on a clear day."
"I think the real winners of this prize may be the Japanese-Americans I wrote about in this novel," Miyauchi said.
The novel's protagonist is a third-generation Japanese-American woman living in the United States named Rei. She struggles with her past of being teased and called a "pig," and her continually difficult relationship with her mother.
"Rei believes that she is not the victim of racial discrimination, and is someone who would sacrifice herself for American ideals," Miyauchi said. The inspiration for Rei draws upon his own experiences of living in New York from age 4 to 12 because of his father's work. "I was the only Japanese person in my elementary school. I was bullied," he remembers.
Rei goes in search of her roots in the written works of first generation Japanese-Americans who were forced into internment camps during World War II. The connection between the modern history of the US and Japan and Rei overcoming her personal struggles are the focus of the novel, evoking questions about the meaning of true human solidarity and reconciliation.
Fellow author and member of the prize selection committee Keiichiro Hirano said of the title, "I was moved by the eloquence with which he portrayed human anguish."
"I think there is something beyond human understanding in novels that is worth taking up the challenge for," Miyauchi said. As it so happens, the release of "Garden of Kabul" in January this year aligned with Donald Trump, known for his anti-immigration policies, taking office as president. "I want to continue writing without compromising my ideals," the author said. When asked about what those ideals are, Miyauchi smiled.
"Is it alright if I leave that a secret? It's all written in the novel."

SEMINOLE — For weeks, Glenn Holland, 67, crawled out of bed before the sun rose to look for a dead man.
Glenn and Judith Holland at Morton Plant Hospital, where she is undergoing radiation treatment for cancer. Last year the couple said they paid a contractor thousands of dollars to renovate their future retirement home in Seminole. But when they tried to move in on Dec. 14, they said the home was in shambles and uninhabitable. They sent a text message to contractor Marc Anthony Perez at 12:36 p.m. looking for answers. Fourteen minutes later, they got back this text: "This is Marc's daughter, dad passed away on the 7th of December in a car accident. Sorry." Turns out Perez was still alive. Now the Hollands are suing him in Pinellas-Pasco circuit court. [LARA CERRI | Times]The retiree and Vietnam veteran spent several weeks on stakeout in his Ford F-150. Under the cover of darkness, he waited outside the home of a man he was told had died in a car crash.
For weeks, neither the Corvette, Hummer or pick-up truck in the driveway moved.
Holland nearly gave up. He waited one last time. It was 4 a.m. on a Friday in March.
Four hours later, the deceased walked outside and jumped into the truck.
Adrenaline shot through Holland. His heart started pounding. His mind raced:
Could Marc Anthony Perez be alive?
He was. The contractor who Holland said ripped him off, then faked his own death to get out of paying him back for a botched renovation, who left Holland and his cancer-stricken wife with nowhere to live, was still among the living.

Based on a friend's recommendation, we hired Scooby for a day to take the three of us on a tour in and around Ubud, Bali.
We first stopped at Bu Oka for some babi guling, which is roast suckling pig. As you can see from the photos, we had no problem finishing the meal. The food was amazing, especially at this restaurant. We tried the dish a few other places in Bali but this was the best we found.
We stopped next at some rice terraces. This wasn't so much of a tourist site as it was a chance to see Balinese people at work farming rice. And in its simplicity, the scene was breathtaking.
From there, we went to a Hindu, holy spring water shrine. There's a dress code for the shrine so we paid to rent sarongs since we were wearing shorts. No one is allowed in the spring's pool, but the pool below the holy spring had dozens of people praying and making offerings.
We were driving to get some organic coffee when we spotted a large group of people yelling at some kids climbing a pole. As it turned out, we were pretty lucky with our timing, that day was the Balinese independence day and the pole climbing game is part of their celebration. The villagers erect a pole, cover it with oil and then the kids have to climb the pole to collect prizes. The pole was easily 4-5 times as tall as the children so they were forced to work together to get the prizes. It was a lot of fun to watch and everyone in the crowd would cheer when a kid got high up.
We left the games and arrived at the coffee farm. BUT this wasn't normal coffee–it was poop coffee. Yes, coffee that is made from poop. The luwaks eat berries and the seeds pass through the ENTIRE digestive system of the animal. The seeds are then collected and dried in the sun. From there, they're roasted and turned into coffee. (The luwak are a close relative to the mongoose.) The coffee tasted ok. It was a little bitter for me but it was alright.
The farm also sells regular Balinese coffee and other teas like ginseng, ginger and lemongrass. The Balinese coffee was my favorite of the bunch.
We then drove to the Mount Batur volcano. It's an active volcano with a massive caldera surrounding the cone. The caldera dwarfed the cone so the eruption that caused it must have been enormous.
On our drive back to the guesthouse, we got stopped in traffic to let a parade pass. We decided to park the car and check out the festivities. We were pretty lucky with our timing again. The parade was for a religious celebration that only occurs every 25 years, and we just happened to be on the island during that time.
We walked around a bit taking in the sights and sounds of the parade. When it had mostly passed, we went to the market next door and ate a Balinese meal with some of the locals. Without a doubt, eating local food is the way to go when traveling. We paid less than $1 each for us to eat some tasty food.

Cascades Packaging entrusted Toscotec with a major rebuild of the dryer section of PM1 at Kingsey Falls mill, Canada. In view of the challenging targets of the project, Cascades decided that Toscotec's technology was the right match for this rebuild, thanks to the flexibility and high level of customization guaranteed by the Italian supplier with regards to the seamless integration between the existing equipment and the new tailor-made solution.
Toscotec's rebuild will achieve an 8% production increase. The Italian supplier will accomplish this substantial upgrade without increasing the overall length of the dryer section and without increasing the actual width of the dryers' frame in cross direction. Toscotec's TTSteelDryer allows better performances in terms of specific evaporation rate, thanks to its reduced shell thickness. Due to its shorter taper length, TT SteelDryer dries a wider sheet with the same space requirements of a traditional dryer section.
The scope of supply includes a number of TTSteelDryers, specifically designed for an operating steam pressure of 14 barg, as well as doctors, wire tensioning system, guiding and sheet stabilizing components. Toscotec's service specialists will also provide supervision, commissioning and start-up assistance.
With this new contract, Toscotec strengthens its reputation as a top P&B machinery supplier on technically demanding markets such as North America. In particular, through its proven ability to supply all-round tailor-made solutions based on the specific features of the existing equipment and to deliver significant upgrades, over the years Toscotec gained the trust of major papermaking producers across the globe.
Delivery is forecast within the end of August 2018.

Just a little bit of news from Cambodia. As a preface to this article, remember that Indian toilets are squat toilets and on the trains, they are just a gaping hole onto the tracks!
Ahmedabad, India A newborn baby girl survived an ignoble birth after slipping down the toilet bowl of a moving Indian train onto the tracks when a pregnant woman unexpectedly gave birth while relieving herself Tuesday. "My delivery was so sudden,' said Bhuri Kalibi, mother of the infant, who was born two months prematurely. Kalibi, a a 33 year old woman from Rajastan, fainted after the birth for a few minutes before waking up and alerting her family. "They stopped the train and ran on the tracks to find the baby," she said. Railway staff at a nearby station were alerted and soon found the baby lying uninjured on pebbles by the track. She is now in intensive care because of her premature birth, doctors said.

Martial Arts Kickassery ... In French
Have you seen Banlieue 13 (aka District 13 or District B13)? No? Why not? It's an uneven, imperfect film to be sure, but who gives a shit. It also features some absolutely jaw-dropping action sequences, and some martial arts badassery that will make your average kung fu fan fucking weep. Much like Ong Bak, you don't watch it for the story, you watch it for the action. You watch it to see Cyril Raffaelli and David Belle jump around and beat the holy hell out of a mess of people. Of course, scriptwriter Robert Mark Kamen is supposedly working on an American remake (completely unnecessary, of course), but in the meantime, there is a sequel coming out.
Patrick Alessandrin directed Banlieue 13: Ultimatum, which has already been released in Europe, but now we have the American trailer for it (it's due for a US release in February). It features Raffaelli and Belle once again fighting their way through District 13, and it looks completely awesome. As much as I like subtlety and nuance in movies, I could care less when it comes to these. Give me some basic plot, and then just take the leash off of them and watch them tear through the movie. The sequel appears to do just that.

As a person who finds it difficult to make time in her schedule to write, I've been pondering the obstacles that I tend to put in the way. One of my primary obstacles is guilt. Yes, guilt: the utterly useless emotion that I nevertheless constantly battle to exorcise. I'd be happy to pay for a priest if only it were that simple. But priests share a lot of the blame for implanting it in me in the first place.
In talking to women I know there is great variability in how entrapped or burdened we feel. Most of my male friends don't seem to suffer from guilt much at all. Some women I know have absolutely no inclination towards guilt, period. I'm not sure how they escaped it, but I suspect they've had exceptional role-models, supportive spouses, and counseling. I think it also helps to be of some means, just as Virginia Woolf explained in A Room of One's Own. It is a lot easier to give up guilt about housework, for example, if you can afford to pay for a cleaning service.
Never "should on" yourself.
Most days when I sit down to write the first thing that comes to my mind is a list of all the other things I should be doing. Usually the items on that list highlight all the things that other people need—volunteer work, caring for sick family members, meal-planning—and whether the littler boxes have been scooped.
And the sequel…
After I make my "to do" list, I move on to anxiety about money and health. I am, after all, supposed to be exercising an hour every day, meditating, flossing, creating delicious and nutritious meals, making time for friends and family, and keeping my romance alive, the house sparkling and the bills paid. Oprah says it can all be done, with deep intention, elbow grease, and a little help from Gail.
Oprah and I are so over.
If I actually listen to the voices in my head, if I try to emulate the women in my life who seem to manage to do it all (with or without burying their resentment) all I do is paralyze myself. I've come up with a list of therapeutic suggestions, for people like me who haven't had any trouble at all finding this particular g-spot. Here is my personal prescription for dealing with guilt:
• Take the long-term view. I've never been to a funeral yet where anyone was interested in discussing the state of the departed's housekeeping.
• Take the wide-angle view. Sometimes no amount of caring, sharing or meal-preparing can make much difference to the happiness of others. My job is not to fix people. My job is just to love them.
• In the airplane safety demonstrations the flight attendants always advise the caregivers to put on their masks first. If writing feeds your soul you need to write. Otherwise you will waste away from soul-malnutrition, and then you're no good to anybody.
• Let go of the need to see immediate results. I have had years of goal-setting, effective-habit indoctrination, and outcome-measurement training that do nothing but make me more neurotic and tired. For my own particular psyche I find I need to let go of these paradigms to get past my resistance.
• See the ways in which guilt can be just another excuse. How am I creating stories about guilt that prevent me from facing my real fears about writing, whatever those may be? Fears are best faced, not by running away, but by getting to know them intimately.
• Find support. Not everyone needs this. But I do. Join a writer's group, whether in person or online. Nurture your connections with other people who like to write. Then if you are feeling guilty about taking the time out to write they can whack you upside the head (metaphorically-speaking) and back into writing motion.
• Write a little bit every day. Set a timer so that you don't have to worry about losing track of the time and stay sitting in that chair, pen moving, even if you have absolutely nothing to say.
• Meditate (more on this in future posts)
• Maintain a healthy sense of humour. Read Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird for expert help in this department.
• Treat yourself to a writing retreat like what we offer at Writing from the Centre (or see the WCYR or WCDR websites for other options). In a retreat situation you are safely removed from all the distractions and sources of guilt. Imagine: no laundry, no vacuuming, no meals to prepare, no facebook, no phone calls, and no flying monkeys (big problem in these parts). In a retreat setting all you have is uninterrupted time and support—well worth the money if you can scrounge it together.
• Commit. Feel the guilt and write anyway. Write about guilt…it's working for me right now. Believe. Check your attitude. Keep putting one word in front of another, even if the words are meant for your eyes only.
• Don't feel guilty about feeling guilty
Guilt can be a healthy emotion—a pro-social emotion—that helps us to live in harmony and care for one another. There are times and places when it is appropriate and necessary to put our own needs aside temporarily, but this should be done with awareness, forethought and boundaries; it should be situational, not habitual. If guilt is one of your demons then tame it by calling it by name. Out, out, damned guilt-spot! Then you can focus on the better class of g-spots; the good ones that lead to pleasure and to letting your creativity shine.
How do you deal with guilt? Let us know your tips and suggestions.
Until next time,

Article was llifted from UNAWAVE to whom we tank very much for their rigurosity in debunking the whole story (and providing the kernel patch!)
In the Internet often haunts the statement a 32-bit operating system can technically only managed a maximum of 4 GB of RAM. This is wrong and Microsoft is even evidence itself, that with the special version of "Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition" it worked:
The kernel of the 32-bit version of Windows 7 has only a lock, which prevents access to more memory.
In the 32-bit version of Windows 7 from 4 GB usually only 3.25 -3.5 GB of RAM are usable:
In general many people believe this "not usable" RAM
is occupied by the graphic card RAM:
The German computer magazine c't has made a test
with different graphic cards (c't 23/2009, page 165):
These results are completely incomprehensible.
The Russian Programmers Group "staforce" has written a small program witch removes the lock in the kernel of the 32-bit version of Windows 7. "ICE Technologie" has translate this program into English. The program automatically makes a copy of the kernel file "ntkrnlpa.exe" and saves the copy as separate file "ntkrlICE.exe". Then the program removes the lock in the copied file "ntkrlICE.exe" and integrates the new kernel file as an extra boot menu entry in the Windows 7 boot menu. So then you have the option to start Windows 7 either as usual with the original kernel file "ntkrnlpa.exe" or with the modified kernel file "ntkrlICE.exe".
With such a patched (modified) kernel the 32 bit version of Windows 7
suddenly can use almost the entire 4 GB of RAM:
For these screen shots a 32 MB onboard graphic card is used. So 32 MB is really "hardware reserved". The rest of 2 MB is reserved for I/O ports (USB port, serial-, parallel port, etc.).
And even 8 GB of RAM are now no longer a problem.
The original kernel still reports that 4898 MB are "Hardware Reserved" - what hardware?
The patched kernel then reports correct that only 34 MB is "Hardware Reserved":
The RAM limit of the 32-bit version of Windows 7 is therefore 64 GB - like Microsoft describes for the "Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition" (see above). More extensive details - still from Vista-times - see here by Geoff Chappell.
The small program "4GB-RAMPatch.exe" patches the kernel and removes the kernel lock:
The program makes automatically a copy of the kernel file, then removes the lock and integrates the new kernel file as an extra boot menu entry in the Windows 7 boot menu. So then you have the option to start Windows 7, either as usual with the original kernel file or with the modified kernel file.
The patch program does not need to install - it runs as a "stand-alone" program; e.g. directly from a USB stick. And it installs no background program.
What the patch is doing you can read here in German language or here in machine translation. So you also can do it manually.
The patch has two small but treatable side effects:
To remove this "watermark" you can use the button "Remove Watermark":
Then you should reboot.
To change the boot menu you can start the Windows 7 program "msconfig":
On the tab "Boot" you can specify:
However, you should not remove the boot menu entry for the original kernel. Because there are some very few programs that do not get along with as much RAM as the kernel patch makes available. Then you can always reboot the original kernel.
To remove the patch you only need remove the start Menu entry with "msconfig" (you can start the program "msconfig" when you enter in the search box in the start menu "msconfig"). The boot menu then will no longer appear. Because as long as only one menu item is available, no boot menu appears. The copied, patched kernel file "ntkrlICE.exe" in the folder "C:Windowssystem32" can also be safely deleted.
In a Command Prompt with admin rights you can see with the command
"bcdedit" the new boot menu entry in detail:
The text that appears in the boot menu can be found under "description".
"testsigning = Yes" allows the patched kernel to start despite modification.
The copied and modified kernel is called "ntkrlICE.exe".
With "pae = ForceEnable" the address extension for the RAM is activated.

Looking Back
Pawnee Lady Coyotes continue to fight, drawing from a deep well of courage if not a deep bench.
"This past week could have been a breaking point for our Pawnee Lady Coyotes. Monday we were hit with a pretty big obstacle, for the week we would be playing, if at all, with only five ladies," Malcom said. "This entire season we have been playing with seven and even that's been a challenge. Our competitors can sub in and out, having deep benches, while we don't get that."

Forest Pests: Emerald Ash Borer and more
Residents of eastern Connecticut have become accustomed to seeing dead trees being removed from roadsides due to the emerald ash borer. Homeowners are weighing the costs of removal vs. treatment of their ash trees. The insect is confirmed in every county in the state. Thousands more trees will die in the years ahead. In this class, we will review the history of this insect in Connecticut and provide information for future decisions. In addition, we'll learn more about other exotic insects that threaten our forests and home sites such as the Asian longhorn beetle and the southern pine bark beetle. Loss of our native trees affects us in many ways beyond the immediate costs and safety concerns; our woodlands are our part of our cultural heritage. Up-to-date materials for public education will be available for Master Gardener offices and outreach.

A memorial service has been held on a Shetland beach for members of a boat crew who are either dead or missing after their oil rig tugboat capsized in the North Sea last week.
Three Norwegian members of the 15-strong crew who were aboard the Bourbon Dolphin when it sank on Thursday night have been confirmed as dead, while a further five are missing presumed dead.
At a news conference ahead of today's memorial service, the head of the company which managed the Dolphin vessel said that the ceremony would give relatives of the dead and missing the chance to "get their grief out".
Bourbon Offshore managing director Trond Myklebust also confirmed that after the service the families would be flown out to observe the wreck of the ship, which sank 75 miles north-west of Shetland.
"It is so everybody can see the boat, the environment and try and visualise what would have been going on," said Mr Myklebust.
He added that efforts would be made to tow the Dolphin ashore at around midday in order to try and find the bodies of those it is believed remain inside the ship.
"What is important from our side is that this will be done in a safe manner because the most important thing is that we keep the boat afloat so we are able to find the people inside," he said.
Meanwhile, one of the survivors of Thursday's disaster has told reporters how it took less than five minutes for the Dolphin to capsize.
Egil Hafsas, who was on deck at the time of the accident, explained that it was difficult for him to feel joy at having been rescued when some of his colleagues had been unable to escape from the boat.
A list released by Bourbon Offshore has revealed that 14-year-old David Remøy, who was aboard the Dolphin on work experience, is among the eight people named as either dead or missing following the incident.
His father, Oddne Arve Remøy, the 44-year-old captain of the ship, was also named on the list.

Before You Dye Your Hair
Thinking about dyeing your hair? Whatever reason you have for changing the color of your hair, we want you to know a few things. While dyeing hair it's incredibly common in our society, there aren't many people talking about what you should know before heading into the salon. By now, you know we're all about keeping you as informed as we can, and this topic is no different. So even if you have your appointment booked, keep reading to make sure that you're in the know about what you should know before you dye your hair.
The Healthier Your Hair, The Better The Color
Hair that isn't healthy can be difficult to get a great color on. Experts stress that keeping your hair as healthy as possible before you dye your hair needs to be a top priority. When your hair is healthy, it's much stronger and much better at being able to take on the coloring you're choosing to dye your hair. Naturally, hair that's never been dyed is typically the healthiest. But even if you have dyed your hair in the past, there are steps you can take to keep your hair healthy between coloring appointments. One of the best things to do is use deep conditioning treatments regularly.
Darker Dyeing is Healthier For Your Hair
It may seem like darkening your hair is more drastic…so it should be harsher, right? As it turns out it's actually the exact opposite. Experts in the hair industry often discuss that lightening your hair in any way is much more harsh and damaging to hair than going for a darker hue. The reason? When darkening hair there's product being deposited onto the hair strands. On the flip side, when lightening hair it's being stripped of color to accommodate the color change. This isn't to say that you can't lighten your hair, but having a solid understanding of the process is key to ensuring that you're taking care of your hair properly after you do dye it.
See Your Colorist With Dirty Hair
Ok, we might be being a bit extreme here but many colorists do suggest not doing anything to your hair before heading in to get your hair dyed. That does include washing your hair. Of course you don't want hair that's super dirty, but it's actually advised not to head into the salon with hair that's freshly washed. When your hair is freshly washed it tends to be more sensitive and can leave your scalp feeling much more sensitive to the dyeing products used. Plus, hair that's just been washed has just been stripped of the natural oils leaving it with less natural moisture than normal. So just…don't do anything to your hair before you go into your appointment.
Get The Necessary Products Ahead
As often as it may seem like a marketing ploy, using hair care products specifically designed for color treated hair are valid. They're formulated to work with hair that's gone through the dyeing process so your locks will be protected and help to repair them properly.

How A Emotionally Scarred Teen
Drastically Improved Self-image With Dental Implants
+ Read More …
When you have conventional dentures or possibly a dental bridge at the moment, you could possibly be quite used to the challenges they present. If your dentures escape your mouth when you are least expecting them to, then perhaps you should try talking to your dentist about dental implants. The following suggestions can assist you in discovering how a dental implant specialist can make a difference for you.
Since your dental implant will be mounted permanently, you won't need to be concerned about embarrassing slippage or discomfort. You should follow your daily dental hygiene routines when you have implants. Brushing and flossing as you do your natural teeth will keep your implants in top condition.
One of the most significant benefits linked to choosing to go with dental implants is that they serve to safeguard you from bone deterioration. Missing teeth can lead to bone decay underneath the gums, and traditional dentures and bridges do nothing to combat this issue. Implants can assist support your jaw and keep your teeth healthy.
Call Our Offices at 702-919-7574 Today!
With their many advantages, dental implants are one of the most advised procedures for anyone missing teeth. The advantages we list here are just a few of the number of that dental implants have over other processes that might be advised for missing teeth. Actually, dental implants are physically more resilient than the rest of your teeth in your mouth. And dental implants are made from such strong material that they'll never be in danger of developing cavities.
If you simply need a single tooth replaced, you might want to consider getting a mini implant. It is a great choice to have an implant to help fortify your bones and mouth. Dental implants require little maintenance and should last you for the rest of your life. On the other hand, dentures and bridges need replacing after about ten years.
An experienced dentist can assist fit you with the right type of dental implants. If you choose a skilled dental implant specialist, you'll have amazing results. The dental implant technology has improved in leaps and bounds, and it's become a regular and popular procedure. There are a wide number of reasons to think about getting implants instead of dentures.
Implants are placed over a metal rod that can integrate with your body without causing any health complications, like rejection. Your jaw will probably be joined with the rod as it would be with a tooth, and as time goes on this lasting attachment becomes more durable. Anchoring artificial teeth to these rods results in them performing and looking just like normal healthy teeth.

In The Shop-Customer Reviews
In The Shop-Customer Reviews
The pieces in the gallery section were all built on speculation, but most of what I do is commissioned. In The Shop shows how things go together as well as some of the pieces that are shipped before photography.
I really do love what I do and am very thankful for everyone that has given me a chance to build something for them.
Griffin Modern Furniture was proud to be listed as one of the top 10 furniture designers of 2017 by Core 77 Design Magazine.
Customer Reviews.
Monte M.
Such a great experience and a true creative professional to work with! I was totally thrilled with his enthusiasm, ideas and timeliness. He showed great trust and faith in me as a customer and I appreciated his collaborative spirit. I will definitely be using Griffin Modern for all my cool custom wood needs in the future...and am already working on ideas!
Lily C.
"If you are looking for superbly crafted cabinetry designed by someone who is patient, detail-oriented, and frickin' brilliant, then Griffin Modern is your place. Working with Kent was both an extreme pleasure and a rare experience; you usually don't encounter artisans who are both highly skilled and totally fun to work with. The cabinet Kent built was done on time, on budget, and turned out even better than I had expected. To this day I still find myself staring at it in awe; visitors mutter things like "cool," "heirloom," and "work of art." While renovating my home I have worked with a lot of contractors, and this was by far the best experience and the best purchase I have made."
Nick R:
I ordered a custom-built steam punk cabinet from this seller and as a first-time buyer from Griffin Modern, I was thoroughly impressed with the customer service and response time during the build.
Kent takes a lot of pride in his work, and it shows by the level of detail that he provides with custom options, as well as photo updates as the cabinet came together from multiple rendering options to day-by-day progress photos. I was very happy with the final set of photos Kent provided prior to shipment as they reflected EXACTLY what I had wanted, but this was no surprise since Kent is exemplary in his craftsmanship & communication. I was even more blown away when I received the actual item, which was carefully crated to ensure that it was dent and scratch free. This steam punk cabinet is now the showpiece in my new office and I do hope to order again from Kent in the future. A 5-star seller and then some!
Steve P:
I ordered three pieces from Griffin Modern. First, the experience was top notch. The craftsman who created these cabinets was responsive, in constant communication, and so obviously took great pride in his work. And for good reason.
These cabinets are AMAZING. Well built and insanely beautiful.
They are easily the center piece in my home.
Do yourself a huge favor and order something from this company. You will be treated to the best of experiences and never regret the decision.
Jeremy T:
The piece of furniture I purchased from Griffin Modern is without a doubt to "coolest" piece of furniture I own. Kent and his line of furniture is truly unique and one of a kind, its equal parts furniture and art. I can't wait to start using it!
I WILL buy another piece the next opportunity I have!!
Sean P:
I read about Griffin Modern in an article in the Des Moines Register and then went to the web site and Facebook page. We ended up purchasing a desk he had already completed and requested a matching credenza. Kent was great to work with, and the credenza turned out exactly as we hoped. Kent kept us informed of his progress with frequent photos and descriptions.
The work is top notch and you won't find a nicer person.
We look forward to having these pieces for years to come.
Jean W:
Kent designed and built a custom cabinet for my husband's home office. He was fun to work with, super creative, and fast (both in responding and in building). The end result was amazing, fun, cool, and unique -- just what we wanted.
We plan to have Kent make an office desk soon!
Griffin Modern offers superb quality, great customer service, and a design aesthetic you can't find anywhere else. We absolutely love our "CRUZ" piece. Highly recommended. Highly cherished.
Noah S:
This artist is incredible. Best piece of art/ furniture I have ever purchased. Worth every penny and more. He was in contact with me the whole time and open to suggestions and feedback. Craftsmanship is amazing. Detail is spot on and immaculate.
It's so flipping awesome!
Justin C.
Fantastic! Superb! As I enter my middle ages, my tolerance for low quality, carbon copy furniture has gone to zero. I seek unique, Craftsman built pieces and this cabinet exceeds my expectations. Dealing with builder has been nothing but a pleasure and I am already looking forward to my next piece.
Candice E. I ordered the Cruz. This was a cabinet listed as "Sold" so they had to make another. I found Griffin Modern to be extremely professional.
All work on my piece was demonstrated almost daily with quality photos via. e-mail. Completion time was as promised and the budget didn't change. Griffin Modern is a unique, creative, artistic furniture company. It was a fun experience and I would recommend them to anyone.

As National Mental Health Month draws to a close, it's worth asking why awareness doesn't seem to be front and center.
Killer instinct. Grit and grind. Determination. These are all positive traits, especially for professional athletes. But sometimes, the athlete's mentality stretches beyond his or her personal threshold, and this is where the problems begin — or, more accurately, this is where the problems become too big to hide.
May is National Mental Health Month, and after an NBA season that saw players step away from the game due to mental illnesses, perhaps its fitting to revisit the issue.
Controversial former Milwaukee Bucks center Larry Sanders took a contract buyout midway through the 2014–15 season order to focus on himself and get treatment for anxiety and depression. Saunders had previously run afoul of the league for his marijuana use, as well as behaviors generally perceived as antisocial.
Royce White, the much-maligned poster child for mental illness in the NBA, is still struggling to make an impact on the game he loves due to a publicized battle with anxiety disorder, one he equates to the suffocating "collective claustrophobia" he believes to be the root of the spate of killings of unarmed Black men over the past year.
Delonte West, the former Boston Celtics guard of the infamous "guns and guitar case" incident (as well as unsubstantiated claims of an affair with Gloria James, mother of the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James), has reportedly been diagnosed with a multitude of mental health issues. Those "concerns" made up the foundation of his exile from the Cavaliers during LeBron 1.0, and, more recently, the perceived cause of his failure to stick with either the Fujian Sturgeon or Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association.
Slate Magazine explored West's situation:
"[A]thletes can channel otherwise harmful tendencies — obsessiveness, aggression, anxiety — in ways that benefit them as competitors. Dr. Thomas Eppright, a psychiatrist who worked with West in Cleveland and has stayed in touch with him since, makes the point bluntly: 'Some of the greatest athletes who have played any sport were not healthy human beings, mentally.'"
Lamar Odom — the injury-plagued, two-time NBA champion and one-time Kardashian — has fought drug-related problems since arriving in the league in 1999, problems which have been attributed to his supposed mental instability. Metta World Peace, the man formerly known as Ron Artest, has publicly wrestled with anger management issues since playing a key role in the infamous Malice in the Palace.
These are just some of the cases we know about.
Mental illness is not something that makes itself readily apparent, and it can only truly be understood by those who have experienced it — either themselves or through someone they know. This is probably why acceptance of mental illness remains a slippery slope in the NBA and other American professional sports leagues. Physical injury, rehabilitation, trades, marriage, divorce, births, cultural assimilation — these are socially acceptable topics to discuss in the locker room.
Mental illness, because of its relatively invisible and insidious nature, is not a topic as easily broached.
People fear that which they don't understand, typically because of concerns about contagion. No one really wants to be known to associate with "that crazy dude" on the team, unless, of course, the crazy helps you get to the championship level. Then, all bets are off. For a perfect example of this, ask Pistons and Bulls fans how they feel about Dennis Rodman. Then, ask a Spurs fan how he or she feels about Dennis Rodman.
White touched on this idea for this publication:
"That problem isn't restricted to team owners and CEOs, by any means. When it comes to issues of mental illness and mental health … discussing fear, anxiety, stress and depression remains stigmatized. The attitude is we'd rather not know. Why? Because mental health is an issue that requires and amplifies our individual and collective responsibility to ourselves and others. It's a mirror that reflects who we really are — yet we keep running from our reflections."
Kevin Arnovitz of ESPN.com also addressed the glacial progress regarding mental health acknowledgement and treatment in the NBA, giving kudos to the Bucks for the tangible efforts they at least made with Sanders before finally cutting him adrift. Arnovitz is not alone; there have been other takes on the professional sports leagues vs. mental health, and all of them have addressed the more visible issues: lack of interest by front offices in accommodating known mental illness; wariness on the part of players to admit to mental illnesses; confusion by team brass as to how to incorporate mental health protocols into existing injury protocols.
Still, there is something else at play here which isn't being addressed: how the players themselves perceive mental illness. This is unfortunate, too, because it may be the silver bullet solution to raising awareness.
When a player goes down with a physical injury, other athletes are quick to rally around their fallen brother-in-arms. Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat was sidelined for the 2014–15 season with blood clots in his lungs, and was met with an outpouring of support. Kevin Durant, who missed most of the season himself with a lingering foot injury, received much Twitter love.
But what about Sanders or Odom?
Their plights are met with the sound of crickets, simply because mental processes are not easily recognized (and even acknowledged). Or, even worse, they are labeled as weak prima donnas, uncoachable, problem players. These sentiments likely foment the most fundamental level: from the players themselves.
Today's NBA is filled with players who come from less-than-stable circumstances. Their very presence in the league — even if they're nothing more than a towel-waver— is a testament to their fortitude and ability to better themselves.
For those that make it, the rewards are nearly boundless. Which is why the peanut gallery is quick to remind those who try to vent — even a little — that to whom much is given, much is required, and that since there are many who didn't make it, an attitude of gratitude is in constant order. You don't cry. You can't vent. You suck it up and deal. You press on and push through. Psychiatric help is not an option; not only might that air dirty laundry (a big no-no), but it's not something that real men do.
Our professional athletes, of course, are the realest of real men; modern-day gladiators who fearlessly trek into bloody battle in the name of King (team owner) and Country (fan base).
Dr. Bernard Vittone, Director of the National Center for the Treatment of Phobias, Anxiety and Depression, addressed the all too common male sentiment about being perceived as "soft," which only serves to magnify the self-imposed injunctions against admitting to mental illness:
"Men in general are less likely to go to treatment because of the stigma where it implies they're weak or somehow less of a man if they seek treatment. In fact, men are much more likely to turn to drugs or alcohol, trying to self-medicate because it's more socially acceptable."
No player wants to go into battle on the hardwood with a teammate who can't hold up his end, whether physically or mentally. Unfortunately, mental illness cannot be easily quantified in the way a physical ailment, such as a torn ligament or sprained ankle, can. It's not as simple as taking a player to the trainer's office, running an MRI, seeing that he has depression, and diagnosing four to eight weeks of rehabilitation.
And though mental illness is often treated with medication and talk therapy; each person's mind works in different ways, and the response to treatment to vary significantly. Furthermore, it takes time for medications to load in a patient's system, then even more time to see if the patient actually responds positively. If they do, great; if not, the meds have to be recalibrated and the cycle starts again. It's a slow, tedious, process fraught with uncertainty and educated guesswork.
Teams in the hunt for a championship don't have time for this uncertainty; even if a player with mental illness has all the "upside" in the world. Teams need facts, timelines, and definite standards of treatment — all so they can keep their team calibrated for optimal performance.
Even if teams were to accept and acknowledge the need for mental health protocols, the issue of therapy is a sticky one. Though a team shrink would presumably (and ethically/legally) have the player's best interests at heart — it's still the team that would be signing his or her paychecks, and the team's best interests might not align with the player's.
For many of the same reasons that law enforcement personnel avoid departmental therapists like the plague, so might professional athletes ignore therapists on the team payroll; the fear that the truth will set you free … of your career. White is proof of that — he has not played as so much as a D-League game since March of 2014. West, as well, has suggested that his mental issues (which led to his legal issues) have kept him blackballed him from the NBA.
Mental illness is not a problem exclusive to male athletes, either. Chamique Holdsclaw, former star guard at the University of Tennessee and later six-time WNBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist, has fought a well-publicized battle with depression and bipolar disorder. This condition, exacerbated by the deaths of her grandmother and stepfather plus the deteriorating schizophrenia of her father, led Holdsclaw to prematurely retire in 2007, only to return in 2009. (She hung up her sneakers for good in 2010 after rupturing her Achilles tendon.) Various articles published after her retirement have allowed Holdscaw to talk about what is not commonly discussed in professional athletic circles, those feelings of alienation and frustration that accompany mental illness:
"It's been like a mental prison because it was real uncharacteristic of me … everybody judging me from every different angle."
Now, Holdsclaw has dedicated her life to speaking out about mental illness through her nonprofit foundation. By doing so, she hopes to help others and help erase the stigma of mental illness, especially among professional athletes.
Larry Sanders is turning to family and friends while he carves out a peaceful place in his life. White and West continue to work out in hopes of an NBA comeback. Odom is trying to maintain his rehabiliation from drug abuse and mostly stays out of the limelight. Metta World Peace has signed a contract to play in Italy and continues to advocate for mental health awareness:
" Just like a torn ACL, mental illness is a medical condition — you have to treat it. And as a community, we have to be sensitive about how we treat each other. We have to stop judging mental illness, and we have to talk about it."
If the players truly want to change the status quo, they must demand that the issue is addressed in the upcoming Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiation.
A player who is well, not only in body, but also in the mind and spirit, is a much more productive player. Productive players result in productive teams that win more games. Winning teams generate more revenue. More revenue makes the league, at all levels, happy.
The reality is that owners and front offices are far more likely to listen to the requests of a max contract franchise player than a bench warmer; it is here where those who have lent their voices to other prominent issues (LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, et al.) can step up once more. We always hear how teammates consider each family, it's time for influential players to blaze a trail for their brothers and sisters to come out of the mental health closet.

SAN DIEGO, CA — The United States Supreme Court today upheld President Trump's blatant efforts to ban people of the Muslim faith from visiting family and doing business in the United States in a shameful decision that goes against everything this country stands for.
The decision allows the government to continue to single out and target a religious group in what is supposed to be the land of religious freedom. This goes against our core values of inclusion and compassion and treating everybody equally under the law.

In anticipation of my imminent move to pastures new, I started organising a 'leaving drinks' night out with my team at work, and invited people that I've worked with at varying times throughout my employment at my current company. Whilst composing the invites, I came to the realisation that I haven't made contact with some of them for around a year. Shaking off the slight feeling of embarrassment at my lapse in communication, I sent the invites off first thing in the morning, and got on with powering through the work-related tasks on my to do list.
Around Noon, my two favourite co-workers and I ventured out to source a few venues for the event, around the Oxford Circus/Carnaby street area. By the time we arrived back at our desks an hour later, my inbox was full. The attendee list had grown substantially and my long-lost-loves had all sent loving emails encumbered with well-wishes and confirming their attendance.
I heart them.
Gems, the moral of the story is about re-establishing connections. Where possible, hold on tightly to those you love and those that love you – but when (as is inevitable sometimes) those connections become estranged or slightly frayed due to time, distance or whatever else, don't allow your pride to stop you making an effort to restore those relationships.
