In a 2015 study published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, researchers determined that nearly one third of Americans have or had an alcohol use disorder. The same study found that while binge drinking is increasing among Americans, only about one fifth of those who suffer from alcohol use disorders ever seek treatment. According to the CDC, all this drinking is expensive, with medical problems, accidents, DUIs, and other costs adding up to nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars ($226 billion) a year. Even more alarming are some of the long-term physical and psychological effects of alcohol use.
While many people may know that alcohol negatively affects organs like the heart, brain, and liver, not many know the true extent of the long-term physical and psychological damage that alcohol can actually cause. And, unfortunately, scientists, doctors, and other researchers still have a long way to go when it comes to determining and diagnosing all of alcohol's negative effects on the brain and body.
Physical Long-Term Effects of Alcohol Use
The major, known long-term problems that alcohol abuse may cause include:
- Liver damage and cirrhosis of the liver
- Brain cells die
- For men, sperm production is reduced
- Stomach and intestinal ulcers may form
- Blood pressure spikes, resulting in increased risk of heart attack or stroke
Other problems that are less common, and more prevalent among serious alcohol abusers include:
- Problems with anxiety and emotional regulation
- Impaired memory
- Reduced decision-making abilities
Women May be More Vulnerable to Alcohol's Effects on the Brain and Body
According to a variety of research, including a study recently published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, women may be more sensitive to the short and long term effects of alcohol on the brain and body. Overall, research suggests that men and women absorb and metabolize alcohol in their bodies in different ways, leading to different consequences over time.
Current research also shows that women are much more likely to blackout when they drink too much alcohol too quickly, and while it's true that this is a short term effect, these alcohol-induced blackouts may be causing long-term damage to drinkers' brains in ways that we do not fully yet understand.

Many Alcoholics Facing Serious Brain Disorders
Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome is a disorder experienced by some of the 80% of long-term alcoholics who have a deficiency in thiamine (also known as vitamin B10.) Technically, the syndrome is actually 2 disorders: Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's psychosis.
Wernicke's encephalopathy is a disorder characterized by short term problems, including mental confusion, paralysis of the eye nerves, and muscle coordination problems, such as issues with walking. Korsakoff's psychosis is a long-term, and often permanent disorder, characterized by serious issues with learning and memory, often including the inability to learn new information and the inability to create new memories.
Liver Disease due to Alcoholism may Cause Brain Damage
While it's common knowledge that drinking too much alcohol can cause liver damage, many individuals don't know just how much alcohol-induced liver damage can actually cause the brain. Individuals who have abused alcohol for many years often develop cirrhosis of the liver, and that disorder can lead to another potentially fatal condition referred to as hepatic encephalopathy.
This condition can cause a variety of physical, mental, and emotional problems, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Concentration and attention problems
- Issues with motor coordination
- Sleep and personality problems
- Coma and death in some cases
Treating hepatic encephalopathy can be difficult, and usually involves helping the liver better clear the body of toxins. Treatments can often include medications that lower blood ammonia levels, artificial livers and liver-assist devices, and in serious cases, liver transplants.
Getting Help from an Accredited Alcohol Addiction Treatment Center
While many alcohol-induced changes to the brain and body are permanent, many can be reversed if an individual stops their alcohol consumption early enough. While no one can go back and change the past, each individual has complete control over the choices they make in the present and future.
If you or someone you know is addicted to alcohol, know that there is hope. Every day is a new opportunity to make a positive change that can impact your life and that of your loved ones, forever.
At Get Treatment, we can help you find the treatment you need to lead a healthier and more fulfilling life, without drugs and alcohol. Let us help you find an accredited alcohol rehabilitation facility that provides comprehensive and tailored treatment programs for addiction rehabilitation.

|Seduction is as
natural as breathing, as human as laughing and as vital as water.
It is simply the persuasive, soothing and enthralling influence that women have in men's lives. Once seduced, a man is adaptable to a woman's needs for partnership, peace and social stability. That's the big secret to the success of the human species.
• Vivid imagery of global women protesting war by spelling PEACE with their naked bodies;
• a love story that started with seduction and continues in partnership;
• the brain science that shows us how to stop the gender blame game;
• the key to creating true partnership, from the bedroom to the office;
• the ability of humans to live without war.
The film Sex, War & Seduction shares all this vital knowledge and features YOU, with real, down-to-earth answers.
|So here's the human
race, sitting on the edge, with our feet dangling over the chasm,
hypnotized by the danger, wondering whether to just push off and see
what happens, or to stand up, link arms and, together, walk the edge to
where we can make the leap beyond the darkness.
The often reckless masculine urge to acquire knowledge and power and the feminine urge to create stable, supportive community worked together to make us a successful species. Until the recklessness became too dominant.
Sex, War & Seduction will show us where we went wrong and how to fix it – if it's not too late.
Sex, War & Seduction will give each of us the courage to make small changes in our own lives that will snowball into cultural transformation.
Yeah, right. That's like saying a handful of women could stop an entire nation of men and boys from killing each other.
Well, guess what, that actually happened – in Liberia – and that's the kind of difference this film can make IF it gets made and IF we can distribute it widely enough.
Change can happen. Women can guide – without blame – the men in their lives, using the natural power of seduction. It's the evolutionary force that makes males adapt to the preferences of females in all species, including ours. Males display, females select.
|Thousands of naked
women spelling PEACE with their bodies!
Knowledge of male and female brain differences that will change your life!
Charles Darwin endorsed female seduction!
Your bedroom, your kitchen, your work can be the center of universal change!
Partnership ending war!
What more do you want in a film?
How about people who are actually saying something?
How about science, intuition and a sense of purpose?
How about just once seeing a documentary that doesn't preach, but shares knowledge - WITHOUT BLAME?
How about this film being the most inspiring, world-shattering, revolutionary documentary you'll ever see?
Give our team enough money and we'll make a film that will make you laugh, make you weep, make you shiver, make you sweat and make you want to go out and make a difference.
Now THAT'S a film!!

As adults, our relationships with the children in our care is one of the most powerful influences on children's behavior, and their relationships with others.
Navigating our relationships with the children in our lives can be messy – adults often are frustrated at children's behavior and then yell, blame, shame or punish. And often, the behaviors don't change or get better. When we start looking at misbehavior and ask "what skill is missing that can help in this moment," we create a respectful path forward.

St Patrick's Day Party
Many folk ask the question 'Why is the Shamrock the National Flower of Ireland ?' The reason is that St. Patrick used it to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagans. Saint Patrick is believed to have been born in the late fourth century, and is often confused with Palladius, a bishop who was sent by Pope Celestine in 431 to be the first bishop to the Irish believers in Christ.
In the custom known as "drowning the shamrock", the shamrock that has been worn on a lapel or hat is put in the last drink of the evening.

Maybe LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers really do just enjoy "Arthur."
The Cavs took care of business Monday night at Madison Square Garden, erasing a 23-point deficit to beat the New York Knicks 104-101. Cleveland now has won three of four games since James' now-infamous "Arthur meme" Instagram post, a fact that's not lost on LeBron's teammates.
How do we know this? Well, because after the game, Isaiah Thomas just so happened to post about "Arthur" — with James' same caption.
A post shared by Isaiah Thomas (@isaiahthomas) on Nov 13, 2017 at 9:39pm PST
Coincidence? Not so much. Here's teammate Jeff Green's Instagram post from Monday night:
And Channing Frye's:
And Dwyane Wade's:
We're sensing a trend here.
So, yeah. It appears the Cavs' "mood" has changed considerably over the past week.
Cleveland still is just 7-7 and in 9th place in the Eastern Conference, but considering all the heat they've taken already this season, we don't blame them for firing back at the critics a bit.

Uphaar case: Court exempts Amod Kanth from personal appearance
A Delhi court hearing the Uphaar fire tragedy case today allowed the plea of former IPS officer Amod Kanth seeking exemption from personal appearance on account of an ankle fracture.delhi Updated: Aug 20, 2010 13:19 IST
A Delhi court hearing the Uphaar fire tragedy case on Friday allowed the plea of former IPS officer Amod Kanth seeking exemption from personal appearance on account of an ankle fracture.
"The accused is exempted from his personal appearance before this court. He is directed to appear on September 30," Metropolitan Magistrate Sanjeev Kumar said.
Kanth, who was summoned as an accused after the court had rejected CBI's probe report giving him a clean chit in the fire case, moved an application through his lawyer RS Malik seeking exemption from personal appearance for Friday only.
"The accused had a fracture in his left ankle on June 16 this year...and has been advised complete bed rest," the defence lawyer said, adding that he be given four weeks time to recover and appear before the court.
The court had on August 12 rejected CBI's report giving a clean chit to Kanth in the Uphaar cinema hall fire tragedy, saying there was sufficient evidence to prosecute him for allowing extra seats in the hall where 59 movie-watchers died in a blaze in 1997.
It had said there was sufficient material to prosecute Kanth under section 304A (causing death by rash and negligent act), 337 (causing hurt by an act which endangers human life) and 338 (causing grievous hurt by an act which endangers human life) of IPC.
Earlier, CBI had filed a report after probing the role of Kanth and favoured his non-prosecution.
The agency, in its report, had said there was no witness to the fact that it was Kanth who had allowed the extra seats in the theatre, screening "Border" at the time of incident, for any consideration.
The alleged role of Kanth had come under the scanner when a trial court, while awarding varying jail terms to 12 accused, including theatre owners Sushil and Gopal Ansal in the fire case, had asked CBI to probe his alleged "acts of commission and omission" in allowing the extra seats.

Voyage en Ecosse 2014
On April 5th, 49 students got on a coach to Edinburgh as part of a two-year project in both Physics and English. Our liner, Princess of the Seas was awaiting us, safely docked at Amsterdam, for a 16-hour crossing on a glassy North sea. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed we sailed in to Newcastle harbour the next morning, well shot of sea-sickness.
The Wallace Monument in Stirling had lofty tales of Scottish bravery to tell and a gung- ho bearded volunteer at its feet, who regaled us immensely with stories of swordsmanship. Fair Edinburgh was, at long last, seen in all her sunset splendour. It was time for the little Bairn to be welcomed by their host families.
On Monday our young 'uns stormed Edinburgh Castle to be humbly defeated by drizzle and cold. After a few soggy packed lunches, down the Royal Mile we went, to learn about Mary King's Close, its terrifying secrets, ghoulish apparitions and fascinating stories. The guides were really top-class and nobody screamed…. Or did they !
The next day was more a festival of traipsing around Edinburgh in search of challenging exhibitions than a real fest of sciences. Summerhall has it that Science is at the heart of things but what to make of this stuffed automaton-squirrel tethered to a clock-like mechanism ?! (*Art meets Science at Summerhall -YouTube). Feeling a 'wee peelie-wally' ,we rested our leaden feet (after an adventurous climb up Arthur's Seat in Holyrood Park) listening to a late afternoon lecture on Forensics and Fiction. Question is, did we catch it all ?
A bit of countryside next, and a refreshing boating trip at the Falkirk Wheel. More cruising and tripping at Loch Lomond where the little bairns were kept out of the rain thanks to the wonderful staff at Tarbet Bay Hotel. The cruise on the loch lasted long enough for a few to indulge in selfies on the upper deck and to gulp in lungfuls of bracing air.
Last day in Edinburgh, with a visit to the National Museum. Eye-popping exhibits on display. A must-see.
Great fun on the liner. Little Travoltas shuffled their feet to the sound of Tsunami and a gentleman turned sixteen !
There were praise and compliments on the way back home, for gyrating lads, giggling ladies and haggis-gluttons
Thank you everyone
Students, parents and staff alike,
For making this trip
A complete success.

In Theodore Gericault's painting "The Raft of the Medusa" survivors of a shipwreck cling to a raft that is crowded with those who are dead or dying. The painting is an apt metaphor for those who have been struck by AIDS. The difference, as expressed in Joe Pintauro's play "Raft of the Medusa," is that the survivors will also succumb.
The play, which opened last night at the Minetta Lane Theater, is a comprehensive examination of the effects of AIDS on a cross section of the urban population and how the less sick become the caretakers of those who are in more imminent jeopardy.
Because of the author's slice-of-life approach and his shorthand techniques of characterization, "Raft of the Medusa" has its manipulative aspects. It does not have the direct emotional impact of works like "The Normal Heart" and "As Is." In trying to do too much in too little time, it veers into sermonizing. But the play is informative and has its primary value as an instrument of social awareness about AIDS issues.
In the opening scene, one victim dies and in an evocation of the Gericault painting, the patient's hospital bed is carried off the stage as if it were a boat capsized in a storm. In the succeeding 90 minutes, we encounter a dozen people in a P.W.A., or People With AIDS, group-therapy session led by a psychiatrist (Steven Keats). The members of the group contracted AIDS in a diversity of ways; they include heterosexuals who are outraged that they have been infected with what they consider to be exclusively a gay disease.
Under the direction of Sal Trapani, the session is heated. Charges are followed by countercharges, as people bare their bitterness and their fright, if not their souls, as announced in the play. Not all the characters are able to clarify themselves, but with the help of the actors many of them achieve an immediacy on stage.
This is the case with Robert Alexander as a sweet-tempered model whose brain has been assaulted by illness; Annie Corley as a heterosexual fired with resentment at what she thinks of as her entrapment; Reggie Montgomery, who more than most is able to relate to the problems of others, and Brenda Denmark as a deaf drug addict whose family has been decimated. Ms. Denmark's character speaks to the psychiatrist through sign language. The play is at its most effective with characters like these, when Mr. Pintauro allows them to unveil themselves through their actions.
At one point, a wealthy newcomer to the group reluctantly admits to his illness and then announces that he plans to go to Amsterdam to seek euthanasia. The mention of foreign flight sets the others off into wistful dreams and songs, of travels remembered and others never to be taken. As one song overlaps another, the music becomes louder and more cacophonous, rising like waves against a sinking ship.Continue reading the main story
The desperation in that singing, the need to confront the fact that each of the people in the play will have a drastically curtailed life momentarily lifts the work to a more resonant plane. "Raft of the Medusa" becomes a microcosmic crisis clinic, airing aspects of a tragedy and entreating the audience into an act of empathy. Raft of the Medusa By Joe Pintauro; directed by Sal Trapani; scenery by Phillip Baldwin; costumes by Laura Crow; lighting by Dennis Parichy and Mal Sturchio; sound by Chuck London; production stage manager, Marjorie Horne. Presented by Peggy Hill Rosenkranz. At Minetta Lane Theater, 18 Minetta Lane. WITH: Robert Alexander, Annie Corley, Brenda Denmark, William Fichtner, Dan Futterman, Robert Jimenez, Steven Keats, David Louden, Bruce McCarty, Reggie Montgomery, Patrick Quinn, Abigael Sanders and Cliff Weissman.Continue reading the main story

Bordeaux-style Blends are a style of wine rather than an individual variety. The five classic red grapes used are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. With the global wine industry expanding and developing at pace, the use of the term "Bordeaux Blend" is changing. The Holden Manz Visionaire has kept with the changing trends happening internationally and gone down a new and adventurous route by adding high quality Syrah to the blend.
The 2012 Visionaire has also gripped judge's worldwide with numerous accolades having been awarded.
Below are some of the accolades we are proud to showcase:
Top 100 SA Wines – 2014 International Wine and Spirit Competition Silver – 2012 Veritas Silver – 2014 Old Mutual Trophy Silver – 2014 China Wine and Spirit Awards Double Gold – 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards Bronze – 2015 Wine Advicate/eRobert Parker.com 88 Points – 2015 "satisfying freshness and composure on the finish"
One is greeted by the flavours of plums and chocolate on a platform of well-integrated oak flavours on entry, followed by elegant raspberry and red currant flavours backed by well-pronounced spice from the Syrah.
Medium to full-bodied, juicy with a firm, ripe tannin structure backed by well-balanced acidity. Mid palate is full of dark fruit with a long and lingering finish.

1 The American Revolution
2 At first, England and its American colonies got along well. Over time, however, things changed. The colonists became angry over British controls. This led to revolution and the forming of a new country.
4 Mercantilism: This was the economic system in place during the early days of the colonies. It made sense, since the colonies were not heavily populated. Mercantilism is when raw materials were shipped from the colonies to the mother country, which shipped back finished goods.
5 The colonies in America were to ship things such as fur, lumber, tobacco and cotton to England. These would then be turned into finished products in England, then shipped back to the colonies. The colonists were supposed to buy only goods made in England so that English merchants could make money.
6 In addition, these goods could only be shipped in ships built in England or the colonies. The ships also had to be manned by English crews.
7 Mercantilism worked well until the 1700s. There were not enough skilled people in the American colonies to produce many goods. The colonies also enjoyed a monopoly, or sole right, on the sale of several major crops. Ships were protected against pirates by the English navy.
8 Once the population increased, the colonists wanted to make their own manufactured goods. Also, people in northern colonies were not able to sell as much to England as people in the southern colonies did.
9 The northern colonies needed money to buy English goods. So, they began smuggling goods to and from the West Indies.
10 Although England regulated colonial trade, the colonists handled local affairs. The local legislatures generally passed tax laws. Since colonial officials were paid out of taxes, they had to do as the colonial legislatures wished. This gave the local legislatures a LOT of power.
11 Notes: Background for the American Revolution There were not enough skilled people in the colonies to produce goods. The economic system in place was mercantilism, in which a colony shipped raw materials to the mother country, which shipped back finished goods. As the population increased in the colonies, colonists wanted to manufacture their own goods. England regulated trade, but the local colonial legislatures were the ones who taxed the colonists. (73 words)
12 In the middle of the 1700s, this changed. The French wanted to keep the British out of northern and western America. England, however, had already claimed the area for itself. This dispute led to the French and Indian War.
13 This war left the British government deeply in debt. It wanted the colonies to pay a large share of the money owed. After all, the war had been fought partly to protect the western frontier. So, the English government moved to raise money by tightening its control over the colonies.
14 In 1765, Parliament passed the Stamp Act. It called for a tax on all newspapers, legal documents, calendars, and playing cards. This was the first direct tax Parliament placed on the colonies.
15 A direct tax is a tax paid directly to the government, not included in the price of goods.
16 The Stamp Act hurt merchants, lawyers, and people in the newspaper business. These groups were among the most able to lead the colonists in a fight against British control. Angry mobs formed in many cities. People throughout the colonies decided to boycott, or refuse to buy, British goods.
17 In October 1765, delegates from 9 of the 13 colonies met in New York to discuss the Stamp Act. They sent a letter to Parliament. The letter stated that the colonies had not been taxed before by anyone except their own legislatures. It also stated that Parliament had no right to tax them because they did not have representatives in Parliament.
18 In March 1766, Parliament finally voted to repeal the Stamp Act. At the same time, however, it passed the Declaratory Act, which stated that Parliament had the right to make laws on all matters concerning the colonies.
20 Notes: The Causes behind the Revolution The British fought the French and Indian War on behalf of the colonists. Parliament wanted to tax the colonies to repay the expenses from the French and Indian War. 1765: the Stamp Act was passed. This was the first direct tax Parliament placed on the colonies. Delegates from the colonies were sent to England, and in 1766 the Stamp Act was repealed. Parliament then passed the Declaratory Act, allowing Parliament to make all laws concerning the colonies. (87 words)
21 In 1767, Parliament passed a series of laws known as the Townshend Acts. These acts placed a tax on such goods as paper, paint, glass, lead, and tea that were shipped to the colonies.
22 Part of the Townshend Act tax money was to be used to pay colonial officials. This took away the colonial legislatures main source of power.
23 In 1768, the British sent soldiers to Boston to make sure the colonists obeyed the new laws.
24 The Townshend Acts made the colonists angry. Soon, there were incidents of violence. One of the worst of these took place in Boston in A crowd of colonist began insulting British soldiers and throwing snow, ice and stones at them. The soldiers fired into the crowd. Five people were killed. This incident came to be called the Boston Massacre.
25 Shortly after the Boston Massacre, the Townshend Act was repealed, except the tax on tea. The Boston Massacre itself would probably have been forgotten had not some colonists used it to stir up feelings against British rule.
27 Notes, continued: 1767: Parliament passed the Townshend Acts (taxes on glass, lead, tea). 1770: A group of colonists began insulting British soldiers, and the soldiers fired into the crowd. This is known as the Boston Massacre. Paul Revere s engraving of this was widely circulated, and used as propaganda. In response, Parliament repealed the Townshend Acts, except the tax on tea. (58 words)
28 In 1773, Parliament passed the Tea Act. It allowed the British East India Company to sell tea directly to the colonists rather than to colonial merchants, who took part of the profits. This hurt the merchants. In Massachusetts, a group of colonists dressed as Native Americans boarded a British ship in Boston Harbor, and dumped the tea into the water.
29 This became known as the Boston tea party.
30 To punish the colonist, Parliament, in 1774, passed the Coercive Acts. These acts closed Boston harbor and put the government of Massachusetts under military rule. These acts also said that British troops in the colonies should be quartered, or given a place to live in private homes.
31 Wait a minute! Charles I signed the Petition of Rights in 1628, in which he agreed to four points: He would not imprison subjects without due cause. He would not levy taxes without Parliament s consent. He would not house soldiers in private homes. He would not impose martial law in peacetime.
32 So how come the colonists had to put up with things that English citizens were protected from? No wonder the colonists called these the Intolerable Acts!
33 Notes: continued 1773: Parliament passed the Tea Act. As a protest, a group of colonists dumped the tea overboard. This is the Boston Tea Party. 1774: To punish the colonists, Parliament passed the Coercive, or Intolerable Acts. (37 words)
34 The Coercive, or Intolerable Acts, only made the colonists more determined than ever to fight for their liberties. In September 1774, delegates from 12 of the colonies met in Philadelphia. They called themselves the First Continental Congress. The Congress called for the repeal of the Coercive Acts.
35 Colonial leaders, however, were divided about what to do. Some, like George Washington, hoped to settle the differences with England. Others, like Patrick Henry, wanted the colonies to become independent. Patrick Henry by George Bagby Matthews c
36 Before anything was decided, fighting broke out in Massachusetts between the colonists and British soldiers. The British set out to destroy a store of weapons at Concord. On the way there, they met the colonists at Lexington and fought the first battle of the American Revolution. This first battle occurred in 1775.
37 In May 1775, the Second Continental Congress met. George Washington was named head of the colonial army. The colonists then tried again to settle their differences with Great Britain. They appealed to King George III, who refused to listen.
38 Notes: Causes of the American Revolution September 1774: Delegates from 12 of the colonies met in Philadelphia. (First Continental Congress.) 1775: The Battle of Lexington, the first battle occurred (start of the American Revolution). 1775: The Second Continental Congress met. George Washington was named the head of the colonial army. (54 words)
39 On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence. It was written mostly by Thomas Jefferson, and it declared the colonies independent of England. Signing the Declaration of Independence John Trumbull, 1819
40 After hearing the Declaration of Independence read on July 9, the American army destroyed the statue of King George III at the foot of Broadway on the Bowling Green in New York City.
41 Pennsylvania militia colonel John Nixon ( ) is portrayed in the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence on July 6, This scene was created by William Hamilton after a drawing by George Noble and appeared in Edward Barnard, History of England (London, 1783).
42 War between the British and the Americans dragged on. In 1778, the French, who were old enemies of England, agreed to help the Americans. In 1781, the Americans and French forced the British to surrender at Yorktown, Virginia. Two years later, the Treaty of Paris ended the war. Surrender of General Cornwallis at Yorktown, October 18, 1781
43 In 1789 (at long last!) the United States adopted a constitution that set up a new form of government. The Constitution set forth certain principles of government. One of these is popular sovereignty, or the idea that a government receives its power from the people. Another is limited government, or the idea that a government may use only powers given to it by the people.
45 Later, ten amendments, or formal changes, were added to the Constitution. These are known as the Bill of Rights, which guarantee all American citizens such rights as: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, the right to trial by jury, and the freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures.

47 Notes: The American Revolution July 4, 1776: The Second Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence. War broke out between Britain and the colonies. 1778: France (the country) agreed to help the Americans. 1781: The Americans and the French forced the British to surrender at Yorktown, Virginia. 1783: The Treaty of Paris was signed by the new United States and Britain. 1789: The United States adopted a constitution that set up a new form of government.

Roberts Campaign Calls On Orman & Liberal Allies To Stop Misleading Kansans, Remove TV Ad
New Ad From Obama "Fanboy" PAC Has Registered Democrat Posing As A Republican
TOPEKA, Kan. – The Pat Roberts for Senate campaign today called on Democrat Greg Orman and his liberal friends at the Mayday Super PAC to seek the removal of a misleading TV ad that is blanketing the Kansas airwaves.
The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based PAC founded by a liberal Harvard Professor is now spending over $1 million on an ad featuring Nancy Moffitt of Overland Park who claims in the ad to have been a lifelong Republican who is no longer supporting Senator Roberts. In fact, as the Powerline blog reported last night, Moffitt is a registered Democrat who has been voting in Democratic primaries for a number of years.
Perhaps not coincidentally, Orman will actually be campaigning in Cambridge, Massachusetts tomorrow where he's set to raise money at the home of a former liberal Democratic Congressman who was run out of Washington after bouncing 127 checks in the infamous House bank scandal.
"It's no surprise that liberal Democrats are backing Greg Orman because of his support for President Obama, but the lengths to which they're trying to mislead Kansans is really disgraceful," Roberts for Senate Campaign Manager Corry Bliss. "Greg Orman should condemn this very misleading ad by his Super PAC friends from Massachusetts and call for its immediate removal from the airwaves."
As the Roberts campaign also pointed out recently, what's equally remarkable about Mayday PAC's new ad is its desperate attempt to tie Senator Pat Roberts to Wall Street, while backing a candidate in Orman who has made millions of dollars through his business partnership with a convicted Wall Street criminal.
- Orman's two most prominent business partners have a history of run-ins with the SEC.Despite Orman's best efforts [hundreds of hours crafting legal defense, leaking documents, and playing a part in a last-ditch legal strategy] to keep his business partner Rajat Gupta out of prison, he is serving time for insider trading. And when the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported on Arthur Petrie's failures - including run-ins with the SEC - Orman touted his business partner's savvy. (http://therealorman.com/#court; Star Tribune, January 7, 2000 )
- Orman is still in business with an imprisoned Wall Street criminal. After Rajat Gupta was convicted, he hand-picked Orman - his personal financial advisor - to serve as 1 of 2 board members of his Cayman Islands-based $1.2 billion private equity fund. According to an SEC report from 2013, Orman served as a director and also as an indirect owner of the fund alongside the convicted Gupta. Moreover, Orman signed a business filing this year that showed him and Gupta as co-owners of a wealth management firm in Kansas [Exemplar Wealth Management LLC] – the same firm that keeps the books for Gupta's foundation. (http://therealorman.com/#court; Star Tribune, January 7, 2000 )
- Prior to Gupta's 2012 trial, Orman testified before a grand jury. To date, he has refused to turn over his sealed testimony. [Orman] was listed as a defense witness in Gupta's subsequent criminal trial. Records of Orman's testimony to a grand jury have been sealed. "He testified before the grand jury," said Jonas, Orman's campaign manager, "but Greg didn't know anything about Gupta's criminal activity." (Topeka Capital-Journal, September 21, 2014)
Mayday PAC Was Founded By Liberal Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig
Mayday PAC Was Founded By Liberal Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig. (Mayday PAC Website, www.mayday.us, Accessed 10/14/14)
Lessig Is An "Obama-Fanboy" Who Thought Obama
Was Going To Be "The Greatest President Of All Time"
Lessig Is A Self-Described "Obama-Fanboy." "So, first: I was, from the start, an Obama-fanboy. I was in 2004 (when I wrongly predicted he'd run (for the first time) in 2012). I was in 2007 (when I was urged by friends not to alienate the Clinton campaign by coming out for someone who could not possibly win)." (Lawrence Lessig, "On 'Loving' Barack Obama," Lessig Blog, V2, Posted 3/1/12)
Lessig Said He Was Convinced That Obama "Was Going To Be The Greatest President Of All Time." "When he did win, I was convinced that he was going to be the greatest President of our time. I believed then, and still do now, that he might be the only politician in America who could rally America to the change we need." (Lawrence Lessig, "On 'Loving' Barack Obama," Lessig Blog, V2, Posted 3/1/12)
Mayday PAC Has Almost Exclusively Supported Democratic Candidates
Mayday PAC Has Supported A Democratic Senate Candidate In South Dakota, Two Democratic House Candidates, And A Republican Primary Challenger To Scott Brown. "Lessig actually featured himself doing the voiceovers in its highest-profile ad campaign to date — in support of Jim Rubens' long-shot campaign for New Hampshire's Republican Senate nomination. … The group is currently airing ads against a pair of Republican congressional candidates — Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, who it's attacking for taking money from insurance and drug companies, and David Young of Iowa, who it accuses of trying to weaken Medicare. And Mayday last week made a big splash by committing $1 million to support Democrat Rick Weiland's surging campaign in South Dakota's three-way Senate race. Mayday went up with an ad praising Weiland as a small-business owner working to reduce the influence of 'big money that controls our democracy.'" (Kenneth P. Vogel, "Anti-Big Money Super PAC Reels In Big Money," Politico , 10/15/14)
Mayday PAC Raised Nearly Half Of Its Money From Five Wealthy Mega Donors
Mayday PAC Raised Nearly Half Of Its Money From Five Wealthy Mega Donors. "Mayday PAC, the self-styled anti-super PAC super PAC fighting big money in politics, raised $1.5 million since mid-August, with $650,000 coming from just five super-rich donors. Former children's shoe mogul Arnold Hiatt, a major liberal donor who has championed campaign finance reform, wrote the biggest check — $250,000 — to Mayday PAC, according to a report filed Wednesday afternoon with the Federal Election Commission, covering Aug. 21 through the end of last month. During that span, the PAC also received $100,000 donations from BuzzFeed co-founder John Johnson, Twitter and Tumblr investor Fred Wilson, green energy executive David Milner and Ian Simmons, the husband of Hyatt hotel heiress Liesel Pritzker Simmons." (Kenneth P. Vogel, "Anti-Big Money Super PAC Reels In Big Money," Politico , 10/15/14)

I passed 3rd grade!
I finished up with my third grade class on Thursday. My teacher came and observed me then I left early for our student teacher meeting at 1:30. I really enjoyed working with my teacher and being in the 3rd grade classroom. I already miss them tons. Monday I start Kindergarten, I'm nervous, but I'm sure I'll have a good time in there also.
My teacher got me two wonderful teacher gifts to help me decorate when I get my own classroom. I've shown everyone I possibly can. And the students wrote me goodbye cards which are too adorable. There are 3 specific ones that made me crack up laughing . . . and I read these during my student teacher meeting. :) One was a picture drawn of me, just found it too funny, another one a student listed everyone's name in the class "in case I forget about them," and the other one said, "You teached us good." Sure does look like it! The cards are all so sweet. I'm really going to miss the kids. It's amazing how attached you get in such a short amount of time.

Loved all over the world, sweet and spicy cinnamon blends well with many spices and ingredients. This inner bark of an evergreen tree has around 250 different species, and is largely found in Sri Lanka (Cinnamon Zeylancium, also known as Ceylon Cinnamon or True Cinnamon) and China (Cinnamomum Cassia). The Ceylon variety is lighter in colour, sweeter and delicate in flavor than the cassia one. Health Benefits of Cinnamon are numerous. As it turns out, cinnamon has long been used to cure everything from indigestion to athlete's foot.

Kevin is registered with the Scottish Book Trust to deliver talks and workshops and is happy to travel to libraries and bookshops all across the country. You can visit his page with the Scottish Book Trust here. Having researched suicide extensively while writing Moristoun and worked closely with the charity Chris's House since the book's release, Kevin is determined to help break the stigma surrounding suicide.
His talks look at why there is still a stigma surrounding suicide in the 21st century and examines how writers have approached this taboo topic through literary history. They also touch on his own personal experience of dealing with suicide while writing Moristoun and look at the life-saving work carried out by the charity Chris's House.
Aberdeen Central Library were the first people to book Kevin for a talk as part of Mental Health Awareness Week in May 2017.
Kevin's presentation "Let's Talk: Literature's role in reducing the stigma surrounding suicide" met with a great reception from an audience of around 30 people, some of whom had a background in mental health or had suffered from mental health issues themselves.
After the talk, there was an interesting debate involving members of the audience, Kevin and local mental health experts before signed copies of Moristoun were handed out in exchange for a donation for Chris's House.
Kevin would like to thank Ruth Gould at Aberdeen Central Library for setting up and organising the event, plus all her colleagues who helped out on the night. They made Kevin, his wife Thanyalak and daughter Jennifer feel so welcome and put them instantly at ease.
Jennifer enjoyed playing with them so much that she wants us to make an instant return to the Granite City. Kevin would also like to thank everyone who attended and took time to speak to him after the talk. You were all so generous in your donations for Chris's House, helping to raise £90 on the night.
Special thanks go out to Kevin's Aberdonian friends Angela, Louisa and Kathleen Duguid for all their support and help before and during the event.
At the UK Southern Book Show in Worthing, which is mentioned in more detail on the Publicity page, I delivered a shortened version of the Let's Talk presentation. This lasted for just 15 minutes as part of a series of talks which went on throughout the show on March 5, 2018.
Unfortunately, I was the last speaker of the day so things were winding down and the audience had dwindled somewhat. But the talk still went down very well, with one author at the show remarking that it was the best of the day. It was also good to let an English audience know all about the good work of Anne and her team at Chris's House.

Its done in time! Whew.
Rae made a great tutorial about how to line the dress, and it all worked out fine. The dress fabric was a little fussy, so the largest amount of time with this dress was taken just to get that fabric reasonably even.
The pattern was great - easy to follow and it went together flawlessly. I did add an inch on either side of the side seam to acccomodate my beefy arms and hide my post-baby (even though he's now a toddler) waistline.
Also, as a side note - check out my new boots! They are a present to myself for my birthday / congrats on the new job. Dave got them about half price on ebay, and now that I've finally got them on my feet, I have to wear them all day to break in the leather. Thus the photos and the reason why I am still wearing blue tights under my pants to pick Emma up from preschool . . .
