Facebook has decided to sue Power.com, a Brazilian start-up that combines a number of social networks into one portal; for copyright and trademark infringement under US and California law, unlawful competition and violations on several laws, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the CAN-SPAM Act.
Filed in the US District Court in San Jose, California; it claims that it has suffered "irreparable and incalculable harm", according to the complaint. Power.com has removed access to Facebook, pending the outcome of the lawsuit.
Facebook, however, says it requested that the site use the new Facebook Connect platform, meaning that you login to the site via Facebook and not Power.com requesting your login credentials; and both parties been in discussions for a month, according to the New York Times, but failed to negotiate any resolution.
Power.com has said, however, it is working to get Facebook Connect on its site, via its new "Social InterConnect", that will allow users to freely share their account information on other sites without the host site storing the username and passwords.
"We are working with feedback from Facebook to implement Facebook connect inside of Power. We are also offering Facebook feedback on how to enhance and improve Facebook Connect functionality and will be launching a newer version of Power using Facebook connect in late January," it said on a notice a the front page.
According to the complaint, Facebook claims that Power.com "is offering a product that solicits, stores and uses Facebook login information to access information stored on Facebook computers without authorization and to display Facebook copyrighted material without permission."
Power.com is also said to have sent e-mail advertisements to friends of Facebook users, bearing a return address that was from the domain "facebookmail.com", and said that these had come from "The Facebook Team". An example of one of the e-mails has is below:
Telling The New York Times, founder Steve Vachani said that did not cooperate at first from the complaint from Facebook because "we didn't want to interrupt the service. When they pushed it forward to a lawsuit, we took it down." Facebook have also said that they have blocked all access from its site via Power.com.

Bitcoin is an exciting investment prospect – but maybe too exciting? Bitcoin has put on 700% since the beginning of this year and is currently recovering from a 25% dip from it's peak value of almost US$7.7k in early November. Volatility regularly exceeds £500 a day. Are you sure you want to get involved? Or do you think it's all going to come crashing down sooner or later?
Bitcoin dramas since September 2017
Bitcoin is just recovering from a week-long downturn at the beginning of November which saw 25% taken off its price. Its value today stands at over $7000 and it doesn't seem to stop growing. At the beginning of September this year, Bitcoin had almost touched $5000, with market participants worried that this might present a strong resistance level and show that the market was oversaturated. That's not happened. Instead, Bitcoin has this week topped $7000!
But back in September David Ader, Chief Macro Strategist at Informa Financial Intelligence, said in an interview with CNBC:
"I think it's going to come to a sorry ending. I don't know anybody who's actually used a Bitcoin for any purpose legal or otherwise. This looks like an overly frothy market and frothy markets lose their froth."
For a moment, he seemed to be right. China, the largest Bitcoin marketplace, had surprised investors by banning Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and cryptocurrency exchanges. Elsewhere, JP Morgan Chase CEO, James Dimon, called Bitcoin a fraud. And the combination of Chinese ban and Dimon's remark resulted in a cryptocurrency panic, with the Bitcoin price dropping below $3000 on September 15.
However, the market soon recovered as business in Japan offset the lost market share represented by China.
It seems that China's cryptocurrency market continues to operate despite the fact that several major exchanges closed under the pressure of the regulator. Chinese traders switch to over-the-counter operations on peer-to-peer exchanges and use instant messengers.
Back in September Bitcoin lost over 30% in a few days amid negative fundamental data, and then it recovered almost all its losses in several days. It shows the crazy volatility of the cryptocurrency market, and here are the lessons you should learn from this:
- Bitcoin is very sensitive to any news and events related to regulation, market restructuring, expert opinions, and so on.
- Bitcoin has so much support that it can arguably overcome any negative situation, even the one in which the largest market (China) interdicts the local exchanges and ICOs. This is a strong hint that the market is far from being oversaturated.
- Due to the high volatility and uncertainty involved, cryptocurrencies should never account for more than 5% of your portfolio.
Should I invest in Bitcoin? The Pros
So, is it actually too late to invest in Bitcoin? Definitely not – there is much room for growth. There are more advantages you should consider as a strong fundamental basis for the cryptocurrency:
- Bitcoin has a limited supply as opposed to fiat money. Through a specific process online called mining, new coins are produced in the blockchain system. However, the process is so slow that it will never reach inflation.
- From all the cryptocurrencies out there, Bitcoin has by far the largest cryptocurrency market share, accounting for half of it. You should bear in mind that there are over 1000 coins to choose from, and Bitcoin is the Big Boy.
- Bitcoin has entered deep into the economy of different communities. There are thousands of merchants accepting it as a payment method, and there are thousands of Bitcoin ATMs around the world. It is too difficult to get rid of it, so don't expect it to collapse overnight. It is a good sign that you can keep confident when investing a small portion of your diversified portfolio.
- Bitcoin and Ethereum act as intermediary coins whenever a new ICO is launched. Since the ICOs are becoming more popular, the support for Bitcoin also increases, as the new tokens are not offered in exchange for fiat money.
Should I invest in Bitcoin? The Cons
There are a few drawbacks that you should consider before making any investment decision. First of all, as already discussed, Bitcoin can show uncontrollable volatility, so be always ready for that. Besides, some suggest that the Bitcoin price represents a classic bubble – since it is nourished by speculators rather than by individuals who appreciate its functional potential.
Bear in mind there is some inconvenience involved in Bitcoin trading: if you decide to buy Bitcoin with some of the reputable crypto-exchanges, you will have to pass through long verification procedures. Also, keeping the funds in your online account is always a bad idea since the exchanges are vulnerable to cyber attacks. Instead, you should better invest in a Bitcoin-related fund or store your coins in a hardware wallet.
Final Verdict
Given the high volatility and uncertainties surrounding cryptocurrencies, you should consider these as an out-and-out gamble rather than a well-planned investment. But, as an out-and-out gamble, Bitcoin offers a range of advantages, both fundamental and environmental that make it a well-considered gamble. Remember that JP Morgan CEO who called Bitcoin a fraud? Well, he agreed that Bitcoin could reach $100,000 before it bursts.
"I'm not saying go short… Bitcoin can go $100,000 a bitcoin before it goes down, so this is not advice on what to do," said Jamie Dimon.
More prominent analysts expect it to hit $50,000 in a few years from now, so you are definitely not late to get involved – but be careful! Speak to your IFA for some pointers on Bitcoin trading, and how it can fit into your overall financial picture.

Last week, something happened that made my skin crawl. While sitting at home nursing a bad head cold, I was scrolling through my Twitter feed and learned that Curt Schilling, former professional baseball player and Hall of Fame candidate, was absolutely barraged with the most heinous, vile tweets imaginable pertaining to his teenage daughter.
I don't know when or how this became socially acceptable, but I was raised with the belief that no girl should ever be talked to or treated in the disgusting way these boys were treating her. As a father to a little girl who will someday be a young woman, I felt the internal flame of protection that only a father knows flare up in my chest in complete outrage. Fathers, we have a tremendous battle on our hands. Here are five ways to help raise your daughter to deal with the ugliness of the world.
1. Show her how a real man behaves. I cannot stress this enough, but your daughter needs you to be the sterling example of how a man acts. Treat her mother with love, tenderness and respect, so your daughter will know what to look for in a man.
2. Teach your daughter to be strong. You better believe my daughter will be raised with a strong head, and yes, I'm fully aware there are going to be times when that will come back to bite me. But my daughter will know where she stands on things, and be unshakable in that stance. Teach your daughter not only what is right and wrong, but to fight for what is right and true.
3. "Date" your daughter. If you want to know your daughter, woo your daughter and simultaneously teach her how a lady should be treated by a man, take her on dates. Dress your best for her, bring her flowers, treat her like it is a first date every time you do it, and do it often. Being a constant presence and reminder of how a man behaves will keep it fresh in mind when she is bogged down by the slew of moronic young boys out there claiming to be "men."
4. Be on her side. Your daughter needs to know that you are there for her -- that you will protect her, do anything for her and will not judge her. Make sure you are cultivating a safe relationship with your daughter so that she knows she can come to you in times of trouble.
5. Develop her self-worth. As your daughter grows, there will be societal voices telling her that her worth comes from everything except for herself. She will hear that her worth comes from her appearance, her relationships, her job -- nothing will be telling her that her worth comes from her heart and her values, except for you and her mother. Encourage her and teach her that she is worth more than what is skin-deep.
Fathers, be present. Your daughter needs you more than you could ever imagine. Be there for her. Love her. Care for her. Protect her.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this post incorrectly called Curt Schilling a Hall of Fame inductee.

Legal Regulation
In the field of the Local Entities, the reglamentary legal authority is manifested by the elaboration, approval and execution of the Regulations, Ordinances and Public Announcements.
The Municipal Ordinances are general dispositions dictated by the Municipal Corporations, within the field of their competences and which are must be compulsory accomplished in the territorial term that extends its jurisdiction.
The word Ordinance is usually used for those rules that regulate exterior relations between the Local Administration and those who are administrated. So we can talk about Police Ordinance of Well Government, Ordinances on the land use and edification, etc. The Ordinances impose some duties to the neighbors and to those who are eventually in the municipal township.
In contrast to this, with the Regulation, we make reference to those internal rules that have the aim to regulate the municipal services, although from this come rights and duties for and with the administrated. With the Ordinance, the City Council imposes something; with the Regulation, the City Council supports and limits to itself.
In the local field, the Regulations are "internal" rules that give structure, organize and define functions of the bodies and municipal institutions, so for instance, "Regulation of the Municipal Police", "Regulation of the Regime of Sessions", etc.
The Public Announcements are regulatory dispositions by the Mayor exclusively in the field of his competences. They can be generally executed in the whole municipal township because of necessity or urgency reasons or to remembering the fulfillment of preexistent Ordinances or Regulations.

How Deep Linking Push Notifications Can Lift Conversions
Source: Freepik
Deep links have grown increasingly common in recent years, and for good reason. Deep linking allows URLs to take mobile users from anywhere on the web to a specific screen within an app. They seamlessly bridge the gap between websites and apps. Apps that implement deep links have been shown to acquire 2x retention over 30 days, so it's no surprise that mobile marketers are making good use of this tool.
Without deep links, URLs can only launch apps to the home screen; they can't navigate to a particular screen. If you're browsing an ecommerce site on your phone and you tap a product listing, you might have the option of opening it in the app, but you won't be brought to the product listing. A non-deep link will simply drop you off at the app's home screen, leaving you to navigate back to where you were.
With deep links, every screen of the app is mapped out like a website. This means individual screens are accessible from outside of the app. For users, this makes for frictionless transitions between mobile websites and mobile apps.
For a detailed explanation of how deep links work, consider reading this post. There are several different tools that help mobile teams implement deep links, like deeplink.me and the OneLink feature within AppsFlyer's platform. Whichever solution you choose, adding deep links to your app will help with the user experience, user engagement, and more.
Deep links aren't only valuable for websites. Mobile marketers can include deep links in push notifications to add value to end users, thereby increasing conversions. In this post, we'll explore a few ways in which deep linking push notifications makes for better marketing.
Deep Linking Push Notifications to Promotions, Products & More
Deep linked push notifications are popular with retail apps, and for good reason. Let's say your app is running a sale where items of a particular category are 50 percent off. You could announce this sale to app users via push notification, but opening the push will simply take them to the home screen. What happens if the person forgot which category was on sale? Even if they wander back to the correct section of the app, this approach still makes for a bad user experience.
Deep links allow these push notification promotions to take users directly to the sale page in the app. There's zero friction and zero need to remember which products were on sale.
With deep links, it doesn't matter if the recipient was using another app or if they weren't using their device to begin with. Tapping the push notification will take them straight to the sale, regardless of where they started.
Deep Linking Push Notifications to New App Features
Did the latest version of your app introduce a brand new feature? Depending on the app's UI, it might take a while for users to organically navigate to the feature and realize it's there. Some app teams combat this issue by explicitly announcing new features, but how should you make that announcement?
Deep links are an absolute must — and don't just stop at push notifications. Include deep links in your email marketing and in-app messaging as well. It won't do much good to announce a new feature without taking users to it, and promoting across all channels. In fact, it would cause more confusion to announce a new feature and then link users to the same old home screen.
The best way to deliver value from a new feature announcement is to deep link straight to the feature in question. User's won't be confused, and they'll be able to test out the feature right away.
Deep Linking Push Notifications to Time-Sensitive Content
Time-sensitive content isn't limited to sales and promotions. Some types of apps lend themselves to content that's only situationally relevant.
Games can use time-sensitive push notifications in many different ways. You could implement an in-game event that only occurs at a particular time of week (or geographical location for augmented reality games). Maybe a friend just beat your high score, and the game allows you to play a few extra rounds to try and defend your title.
Apps that recommend content based on geolocation also fit in this category. A restaurant review app can send personalized recommendations when you enter a new neighborhood, but those recommendations will cease to be relevant once you leave.
All of these use cases have one thing in common: they're only relevant for a short period of time, so it's crucial to reach out to users with push notifications. And since users might be in a rush, you want the experience to be as frictionless as possible. Deep links solve this problem with ease.
Deep Linking Push Notifications to News & Trending Content
Push notifications aren't exclusively for time-sensitive content. Some apps produce a steady stream of content, and they send notifications to alert users about interesting or relevant pieces.
Deep links are especially important to news apps because of the amount of content they produce. It would be a poor user experience to tap a news headline and end up at the app's home screen. Navigating back to the article you intended to read may not be easy, and it's an unnecessary burden for the user either way. Over time, a cumbersome UX like this could lead to app uninstalls.
News apps may be the most obvious example, but they're not the only one. Social media apps can send push notifications to highlight content that's been liked or reshared by several of the user's friends. Other media apps, like a music or video app, could alert users if a piece of content is trending.
Whenever there's a piece of in-app content you'd like to promote, deep links help users arrive there faster. Even if there's no conversion associated with the content, well-timed push notifications (combined with deep links) add value to the user experience. By aiding content discovery, you're increasing the odds of downstream conversions.Whenever there's in-app content you'd like to promote, deep links help users arrive there faster. Click To Tweet
Deep Linking for Push Notifications
As apps claim more and more of our time spent on mobile devices, deep links will become increasingly prevalent. The ability to access any screen of an app from outside makes apps just as flexible as mobile websites. And with the other benefits of apps, like improved analytics and faster loading speeds, it's likely that apps will claim an even greater lead in the race for mobile dominance.
If you haven't already implemented deep links in your app, this is the time to start. Deep link your push notifications and watch conversions soar.

"I have heard from countless young people that the reason they got into recovery was because of the connection with a parent who fought for them when they couldn't figure out how to help themselves."
Pat A., Parent & Clinician
It can be incredibly frustrating for you to so clearly see that your son or daughter needs to get help for substance use or addiction issues, but he or she denies that there's a problem. Some people will tell you that your child needs to "hit rock bottom" or "has to want to get help" in order for treatment to even be part of the picture. The truth is, for many individuals, this simply isn't true.
The key is to listen for "change talk" — any expression of a willingness to alter the course of one's life in any way. Even if your son or daughter expresses just a little willingness to engage in treatment or be honest about the fact that their substance use is negatively affecting their life, it's a great opportunity to use open-ended questions and have a conversation about it. The key is to help them connect the dots themselves about how taking positive action to seek treatment for their drug or alcohol issues will produce positive results in their life and future. Some parents use incentives or leverage — to either positively or negatively reinforce taking action — to encourage their son or daughter to seek treatment.
Don't feel dejected if your loved one expresses hope for change one moment and is ambivalent about it in the next. This is entirely normal, and there will be other chances to raise the subject again and have a conversation about it. Remember, that you're the most important influence in your child's life. Small, positive nudges over time can add up to a big impact.

It can be scary to see your child using drugs or alcohol but refusing help, and parents may try a range of strategies for getting their son or daughter into treatment. Some arrange interventions, others use their child's school for support, and others use privileges as leverage. Community Reinforcement and Family Training (or CRAFT) is a scientifically proven method of helping parents engage their child in positive change. Remaining positive, understanding and calm can help you to find out more about the situation and ultimately encourage healthier behaviors.
If you are able to explore what might be motivating your son or daughter's substance use, it can help you understand their needs and emotions better. This may well also assist you in identifying ways in which to encourage healthier behavior, by tackling the root causes.
It can be very confusing to want to help your child but also to be told that, in doing so, you are "enabling" their drug-using behavior. It's helpful reframe this concept in terms of focusing on setting limits, emphasizing healthy and positive changes, and ignoring unwanted behaviors.
It is hard understand why your son or daughter can't just stop using a drug like heroin when they can see it is causing them so much harm. But opioids in particular create major changes in the brain and change the way those who use them think.
When you think of counseling for mental health or substance use disorders, you may not imagine it to be an entire family affair. However, the way members of a family interact with one another can have a significant impact on the outcome of addiction treatment. This is why family therapy can be an incredibly useful tool in helping your child during and after treatment. It can help family members to recognize unhealthy patterns and set standards of behavior.
The National Center for Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) has pinpointed four key elements of various family therapy models. These are:
However, even if you don't have access to family therapy, you can still take important steps to be a valuable resource by engaging in conversation with your teen, and taking a non-judgemental approach.
Keegan gives a personal account of everything his family did to help him during and after his addiction. From navigating the healthcare system, to getting him into an inpatient program, to learning all that they could about substance use, his family were vital to his recovery.
While TV and film usually portray 'treatment' for substance use as a residential rehab facility, this is only one of the substance use treatments available to your child. At its core, addiction treatment must help individuals to stop using substances, sustain their abstinence, and to have a productive family, work and social life.
In addition, The National Institute of Drug Abuse identifies a number of key principles that should form the basis of any treatment program. These are as follows:
While there may be no 'perfect' treatment available and you may experience waiting lists or financial constraints, there are still a number of steps to consider when first looking into getting your teen help.
When your child needs help for substance use, it can be overwhelming and you may not know where to start. As each person's experience of addiction is different, it can take a lot of research to work out the best options available to find the right substance use treatment for your son or daughter.
Find the details all in one place on what treatment entails, where to find it, how to pay for it and how to support your child through the experience.
Firstly, as any one treatment will not work for everyone, you will need to do your research about the different types of substance use disorder treatment available. Of course, depending on where you live, your health insurance and many other factors, your choices may be limited. But start by educating yourself about addiction, getting your teen a substance use assessment and reaching out to your social network.
There are many types of treatment available for substance use disorder, which can be confusing. The standard treatment options available are:
The standard services these programs offer are:
There are also services aimed to support those in recovery:
Keep in mind that certain types of treatment might be important for certain types of substances. If your child is struggling with opioid use, medication-assisted treatment may well be a vital element to their recovery. The most well-known of the opioids is heroin, but the term also refers to synthetics like Fentanyl and painkillers, such as Percocet, Vicodin and Oxytocin (which are legal if a doctor has prescribed them to you).
One of the reasons it can be particularly difficult to stop using opioids is that opioid withdrawal symptoms are often very painful. Even once the person has 'detoxed' and the drug is no longer in their system, this makes them particularly susceptible to relapse. Therefore, medication-assisted treatment is often used to reduce cravings, and reduce the symptoms of withdrawal and the likelihood of relapse.
Medication-assisted treatment, such as methadone, naltrexone (Vivitrol) and buprenorphine (Suboxone) are used to reduce cravings, and reduce the symptoms of withdrawal. As opioid use and misuse can create changes in the brain that lead to dependence, MAT is often necessary to overcome addiction and maintain recovery.
There are many misconceptions about medication-assisted treatment and some seeking this type of treatment may be told that they are simply substituting one drug for another. However, this is not true and this medication will not create a new addiction if it is used according to a doctor's instructions. Furthermore, this treatment should include therapy or counseling as part of a comprehensive approach.
Naltrexone (Vivitrol)
Watch Dr. Alicia Murray explain why a person can't "just stop" using heroin and why Vivitrol can help >>
Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Zubsolv, Subutex, Probuphine)
Unfortunately, despite being widely endorsed by experts, some treatment facilities, sober living homes or jails will not offer or allow medication-assisted treatment. There is no easy answer for this, but you can continue to look for programs that support your child's treatment plan and your support and encouragement are essential to your son or daughter's recovery.
When it comes to opioid addiction treatment, medication-assisted treatment is the gold standard. Learn about your child's options, the pros and cons and how to best support your child through treatment.
Once you have done your research on the type of treatment your loved one needs, the next step is to find a treatment provider. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) maintains the most comprehensive database of treatment providers across the country and has a variety of filtering options, such as type of care, payment options, languages spoken etc. There is also a helpful video tutorial that helps you to use this powerful, but sometimes overwhelming, resource.
Remember, it's important that you contact the provider to ensure that you find the best treatment fit for your child and your family. You may also find it useful to work with a certified addictions professional at this stage, to assist you in sorting through the options.
Use this step-by-step visual guide to help you sort through the information overload and make positive choices about treatment and recovery for your child >>
Navigating the insurance system can be incredibly confusing, especially given the specialized terms often used by providers.
We know how difficult it can be to navigate the insurance system, especially when you are seeking treatment for substance use disorder. To assist you, we have compiled some key questions to ask your insurance provider when you first contact them about coverage for your child's addiction treatment:
Does my plan cover mental health and/or substance use disorder (SUD) benefits? And how do I find out for my specific plan?
Many plans do include mental health (MH) and substance use disorder (SUD) benefits. If this is the case, the 2008 Parity Act applies.
What benefits do you cover (including treatment settings and medications)?
The first step in finding treatment for your loved one is for them to get a substance use assessment from a medical professional. This will determine the level of care most appropriate for them. Ideally, your insurance will cover all levels of treatment but, if that is not the case, talk to your child's medical provider about the level of care covered by your plan that is most appropriate for them. If your son or daughter is using opioids, you should also asked about coverage for medication-assisted treatment.
What documentation do I need to provide and what should I keep a list of for reimbursements?
It is important to keep track of all of your communication with your insurance company, including the name of the person spoken to, the dates and summaries of telephone calls and all notices, letters authorizing care, denial letters, explanations of benefits, emails and bills.
What is my deductible and how do any payments I make for addiction treatment, in-network and out of pocket, apply toward that deductible?
Many plans have a deductible (meaning the amount you must pay before a health plan will cover health services). You may have separate deductibles for in-network and out-of-network benefits, but the Parity Act prohibits the use of separate deductibles for medical benefits and mental health/substance use disorder benefits.
There are many common concerns that parents have when they are first navigating coverage for substance use disorder — here are some helpful answers to frequent questions:
What if my insurance company says that my son or daughter's addiction treatment is "not medically necessary"?
If this happens, as you insurance company to provide the standards used to make their decision. Be sure appeal, specifically stating that you believe the provider is violating federal parity law.
How can I make sure that my child receives quality treatment?
There are certain features you should look for in treatment programs, and also several red flags. There are also questions you can ask before enrolling your child in addiction treatment to ensure it's the quality treatment they deserve.
Documenting communication with your insurance company is a vital aspect of getting your child the treatment they need. If you need to appeal a rejected claim or go through mediation or litigation, it is essential to have evidence. In addition, as there are deadlines for filing appeals and lawsuits, these documents are useful for dating correspondence. You should also call your insurance company and ask them to provide a copy of your plan or policy, as well as a full record of your claims.
If you call your insurance provider, make sure to note the names of everyone you spoke to, and the dates and times you spoke. Record as many nuances and details of the conversation you can and, where possible, request a confirmation email to maintain a paper trail. If the insurance provider representative says something technical or something you do not understand, you should ask them to explain definitions or details. You should also keep every email, medical bill, payment receipt, and explanation of benefits you receive from the company.
It can be frustrating and scary if your insurance provider denies coverage for your son or daughter's substance use disorder treatment. Unfortunately, however, many companies automatically deny coverage for addiction treatment and an appeal may be necessary. While this prospect can be daunting, it often pays off; the US Government Accountability Office found that 39% to 59% of internal appeals were reversed in favor of the consumer.
Remember, if you're denied, you have the right to file an insurance appeal. Every insurance policy holder, or dependent of the insured, can ask for reconsideration if a claim is rejected. However, this process will vary, depending on the type of insurance you hold and the state you live in, so you should contact your insurance company to find out how their appeals process works. Before filing an appeal, the medical professional treating your child has the right to talk directly to the insurance medical director that made the rejected the claim (often called a 'peer-to-peer' conversation). Make sure that the physician has had this opportunity and that this contact is documented (as all communication with the insurance provider should be). Remember, an substance use disorder treatment recommendation from your child's physician is essential to filing an appeal.
In the meantime, if possible, parents need to to make sure that their child is getting the treatment they need. Sometimes, mental health or addiction professionals will work with families to provide a discounted payment plan. Otherwise, be persistent and put pressure on your insurance provide; you are your child's best advocate.
When your claim is denied, it is important that you file a complaint in addition to your appeal. The more complaints made by policyholders, the more pressure there is for regulators and elected officials to help enforce the law, and ensure that insurance companies cover mental health and substance use disorder treatment at an equal level to which they cover medical and surgical care.
When your child needs help for a substance use disorder, the last thing you should be worrying about is not having the insurance or money to get them treatment. However, while it might take some patience and persistence, it is possible to find affordable substance use disorder treatment. Here are six steps you can take:
Research Your Options
The first thing you need to do is to determine the type of treatment your child needs. Then you can start to search for providers that offer affordable programs. You can research this using the following resources:
Use the National Database
Use the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) national treatment locator. Here, you can filter for providers that offer payment assistance or treatment on a sliding scale.
Research State Programs
Most states, cities and even counties offer treatment centers that are free-of-charge. SAMHSA maintains a Directory of Single State Agencies for substance use services that makes it easier for you to determine who to contact.
Look into Programs Offered by Religious Groups
There are many faith-based drug and alcohol treatment programs, such as The Salvation Army, Goodwill, YMCA, Catholic Charities and many others. These are offered in most communities and are almost always free.
Look into Rehab Scholarships
Rehab scholarships are third-party organizations that offer funding for those seeking help from free residential centers. They focus on delivering treatment funding to those without medical insurance, those unable to pay for rehab out-of-pocket and those who do not qualify for a loan. There are many organizations that provide this service, from Second Chance to SAMHSA.
Lastly, it is important to stay wary about predatory and unethical organizations that put profit before their patient's well-being. Read up on advice about how to identify and stay away from these programs.
Call, Call, Call
Try to make time every day to make phone calls to the affordable treatment centers you have identified. Ask as soon as you can whether a scholarship exists and, if you have insurance, let the facility know what it covers, as there may be reduced payment plans available. Also as whether they can assist you in accessing state, country or city programs that may help with the financial burden of treatment. Remember that the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act mandates insurance companies to treat mental health and substance use care in the same way as all other medical and surgical treatments.
Seek Help From a Counselor
If you are having difficulty find affordable or available treatment, seek out recommendations from local substance use counselors. To find licensed counselors, you can visit Psychology Today to enter your zip code and filter for professionals specializing in addiction and substance misuse.
Seek Help From Others
Encourage your son or daughter to attend a few different meetings for those in recovery, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or SMART Recovery. These are free and you may be able to find out more about treatment options from those familiar with local facilities. Just understand that even if someone in recovery suggests a treatment facility, it might not be the best one for your child in particular. Use these suggestions as starting points.
Get Creative With Funding
Although it can be difficult to talk about addiction, almost everyone knows someone who has struggled with or been affected by substance use disorder. Try opening up to your social network and consider using websites like GoFundMe, IndieGoGo and CrowdRise to crowdfund the money you need. There are also financial institutions like Prosper Healthcare Lending and My Treatment Lender which offer those seeking substance use treatment affordable loan packages.
Get Support For Yourself
While it can be difficult to think of yourself when you are trying to get your child treatment, it is important that you look after your own health and wellbeing. This will put you in the best position to help your son or daughter. Reach out to support groups in your area through Support Group Project or SAMHSA. Alternatively you could chat to others in a similar position on the Substance Abuse Forum, In the Rooms, or by attending online AA meetings. You can also enroll in peer-to-peer Parent Coaching for those caring for children affected by substance use disorder.
There is currently an opioid epidemic that unfortunately has become a lucrative opportunity for various unethical people and organizations to prey upon vulnerable families. At this point, large organizations and venture capitalist companies have also become involved, often putting profits ahead of patients. Some parents have children who have become victims of the 'patient brokering' system, a network of kickback schemes in which brokers receive compensation for referring patients to specific treatment facilities — often those who do not provide quality treatment at all.
Learning how to navigate the treatment system can be a difficult process. However, if you do your research, ask for help, network, and ask the right questions, you can be your child's best advocate.
There are a number of features you should look for in an addiction treatment program:
It is also important to keep in mind the things that you don't want to see in a treatment program. Here are some red flags for you to look out for:
It is heartbreaking that parents and families are put in this position, but to help find your child quality treatment, you need to be an informed and educated consumer. Remember to be wary of simply searching online for treatment, and use the above tips to ensure that your son or daughter get the help they deserve.
Sometimes there are waitlists to get your child into the type of treatment that's ideal for him or her. It can be incredibly frustrating when that happens, but it's important to keep your son or daughter engaged and motivated to receive treatment. In the meantime, there are things that you can do to help reduce harm and prevent your child from overdosing.
An overdose happens when a toxic amount of a drug is taken, depressing the central nervous system and causing breathing to slow or stop. If your child has been drug-free for a period of time, their tolerance is likely to have lowered. This means that they are at a higher risk of overdose, as doses they may have taken regularly before could now be fatal. This may happen if a person detoxes without accompanying treatment, has recently been incarcerated, abruptly stops taking certain medications that aid recovery or has a relapse after a significant amount of time abstinent.
Have all of your opioid-related knowledge in one place, including how to reverse an overdose using naloxone and how to support your son or daughter who is struggling with using heroin or other opioids.
When your son or daughter relapses or overdoses, families feel fear, anger and sadness. However, as overdoses often occur when things seem to be going well, they may also feel confused. There are a number of reasons a relapse or an overdose can happen, but there are also ways to respond positively.
There are a number of reasons that someone may relapse. They may believe that they have gained greater control over their substance use, may not be able to cope with stress, pain or seeing triggers associated with former use. Some also intentional overdose to end their life. The person is at a bigger risk if they are using alone, mixing drugs and alcohol, are ill, or don't know what has been mixed into the drugs they are consuming.
Medication-assisted treatment could be especially useful, as methadone and buprenorphine can reduce the risk of overdose. There are steps you can take to reduce the risk of fatal consequences while your child is using. Sometimes harm reduction can be very difficult to consider, but you should try to keep in mind long-term recovery goals and keeping your child alive and as well as possible in the meantime.
Above all else, when opioids are in use, you and everyone close to your child should have emergency naloxone (Narcan) on hand. Emergency protocol of any suspected overdose should always be to call 911. However, if someone has overdosed on opioids, administering naloxone can reverse an overdose. You should learn how to use naloxone, read about what an overdose is, understand why they happen, and be able to recognize the signs of an overdose. Remember, they can happen from 20 minutes to 2 hours after drug use.
Symptoms of an opioid overdose include:
If you think your loved one has overdosed, follow these steps:
For those administering drugs via injection, the use of clean needles is important to reduce the risk of HIV, Hepatitis and injection site infections. Mixing drugs and using alone should also be avoided. Seeking help to cope with the trauma of an overdose can be very important, especially if you witnessed an overdose or stepped in to provide emergency assistance. Try to find counseling or a support group to go to, where you can talk about, and work through, your negative emotions.
Educate your son or daughter about the risks of overdosing once they have been abstinent
If your child has not been using opioids or other substances for any period of time, they are at risk of overdose. When someone is abstinent, their tolerance decreases, meaning that what used to be a regular dose for them could now be fatal. Ensure your son or daughter knows this.
Remind them of the dangers of combining opioids with other substances
Using opioids in combination with stimulants (e.g. cocaine, meth) and depressants (i.e. benzodiazepines, alcohol, sleep medications) puts them at greater risk of an overdose. Ensure that your child knows.
Emphasize how dangerous Fentanyl is
Make sure your child knows about Fentanyl, a drug that is 50-100 times more potent than heroin. It is often mixed in with heroin and pressed into what is perceived as prescription pain pills, and can be deadly.
If your child is injecting opioids via IV, educate them on IV safety
It's important to have access to clean needles if your son or daughter is injecting heroin or other opioids intravenously, as well as to understand the additional risks posed by this method of using substances.
Watch this video series on how to help your son or daughter minimize the risks of IV drug use >>
Encourage your child not to use opioids alone
If your child is using and does experience an overdose, it is important that they are with people who understand what to do. Encourage them to surround themselves with people who understand the basic medical and legal principles surrounding overdose, including Good Samaritan laws.
You have probably heard a mountain of advice, tips and techniques for communicating with your child. However, you may not have heard specifically about CRAFT.
Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) is a different approach to communication which is scientifically proven to help parents change their child's substance use. It provides parents with tools to alter the way in which they interact with their child to influence their substance use behavior.
The key principles of CRAFT are:
Behaviors Make Sense
Drug use doesn't happen in a vacuum. Family members are encouraged to try to compassionately understand what drives their loved one's substance use, given that in doing so it should become more clear what will help motivate them to cut back on their use or stop.
Active Listening
When a loved one is using substances, it is common to see lecturing, blaming, criticizing, shouting, silent treatment, defensiveness and denial. Active listening, instead, offers a communication tool to help conversations be more productive.
Positive Reinforcement
In a distressing situation, it is understandable to focus on all the things going wrong. However, praising and rewarding healthy, productive behavior, no matter how small, is proven to motivate change.
Natural Consequences
It is normal to want to protect your child from the implications of their substance use. However, it can be extremely helpful for your son or daughter to learn from experiencing these consequences and allowing real-life situations provide boundaries.
Dealing with your child's substance use can be overwhelming and parents often end up neglecting their own needs. However, it is important to take care of yourself. While self-care might seem indulgent in such a distressing situation, it is not. In fact, it has been shown that self-care encourages positive emotions, helping you to feel happier, more hopeful and more effective at what you do. It can also make you more resilient.
CRAFT can be an incredibly useful set of tools to keep a steady head during the turmoil of trying to find treatment for your child struggling with addiction. But all of the negative emotions that come with this situation, whether they run through your mind constantly or come in bursts, can get in the way of your family, work and social life and some even experience physical symptoms of stress and anxiety, such as stomach aches and upsets, migraines, and insomnia.
However, there are some techniques you can use to help disrupt and calm these negative cycles of thoughts and emotions. Try the following tips:
Don't try to stop negative thoughts.
Telling yourself to stop thinking about something only makes it harder not to think about it! Getting angry at yourself will only make you feel more negative.
Name the emotion you're feeling.
Instead of trying to force yourself to stop thinking about your negative thoughts or feelings, try to acknowledge and accept them. Identifying the emotion in itself can often help to alleviate its symptoms and can help you work through your fears.
Ask what caused the feeling.
Our interpretation and perception about certain situations or events have a huge impact on how feel feel about them emotionally. By trying to identify and appreciate the positives in a situation, you can alter your feelings and emotions.
Challenge unhelpful thinking.
Question the thoughts you are having. You can question the content of the thought, how you're interpreting it or whether it is relevant at the present time.
If you feel overwhelmed take a deep breath, and then another. Practicing controlled breathing can help you to lower stress and anxiety and think more clearly.
It also can be helpful to read Stories of Hope, which document the experiences of those in recovery, their friends, their parents and other family members.

It is understandable that you want your child to be 'cured' once they have gone through treatment. However, addiction is a chronic disease, and recovery may well involve relapse and ongoing management. Just like practicing any skill, he says, you usually don't do it perfectly first time. Just like falling down is part of learning how to ride a bike, relapse is a part of recovery. It's important to learn about continuing care after your child returns from treatment, so that you're equipped with the information needed to guide your child through the next steps in their recovery.
If you have any questions or need emotional support, assistance developing a safety plan or tips for communicating with your son or daughter, get in touch with our Parent Helpline via phone, text, or email.

If your like me, you are always looking for ways to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I'm not a huge leftover fan, so after a day or two I've eaten all I can handle. That's why I love roasting chicken or turkey as one meal turns into several with the leftovers! Since I'm a huge fan of Thai food and flavours this recipe is the perfect lunch.
I tested this recipe for lunch with some of the kids following a turkey dinner, and it was a hit. As we tend to eat a ton of wraps in our house (they are so diversable), its another quick and easy lunch for home, work or school.
Important to note if bringing to school you may want to consider using a No Nut Butter like Wowbutter to replace the peanut butter. Also ensure anything you pack with mayo has a cold pack next to it to keep the wrap cool and stop the mayo from spoiling.
Another option to shake up the lunch routine is use rice paper wraps and make this into a Thai Turkey Salad Roll instead – yum!

The turn of the century arrived and Society productions increased to four shows per year for most of the decade of the Naughties. DMS also played in five venues in this period which were, The Whitehall Theatre, The Gardyne Theatre, The Caird Hall, The Theatre Royal Waterford, and the Starlight Showroom in Guthrie Street, Dundee.
It was an era of Rogers and Hammerstein shows with "South Pacific" and "Oklahoma" being firsts for the Society, and return productions of "Carousel" and "The King and I"
There was also a re-run of "Jesus Christ Superstar" previously produced in 1984 and once again a tremendous winner with the public, so much so that it was repeated again the following October
There were also another bunch of premiers for the city in "Scrooge - The Musical", "Hot Mikado" and "Jekyll and Hyde - The Musical" and in 2002 another "Showtime" was presented
2003 was DMS's 75th anniversary and they celebrated this milestone with a one night Showtime type performance in the Caird Hall, Dundee which they called "Made for Music". It turned out to be the largest audience, for a single performance, that the Society had achieved to date, with 1757 people filling the venue for the celebration.
To recognise Downfield's 75 years, Lord Provost John Letford hosted a civic reception in the City Chambers for the members of the Society. I real honour. Celebrations for the 75th also included a Grand Ball in the Invercarse Hotel where invited guests including Dundee Lord Provost and NODA officials enjoyed the sound of a big band and a spectacular firework display.
There were several autumn or summer shows and with the opening of DMS's own theatrical space in their clubrooms which they named as the Starlight Showroom in 2009 the opportunities to present smaller more intimate shows became apparent.
But in the early part of the decade "The Boy Friend" and "Side By Side By Sondheim" were presented in the Gardyne Theatre, the former by the youth of the Society….. and the latter not!! "Oliver" and "Summer Holiday" were presented in the Whitehall Theatre with "Oliver" playing to an almost 100% attendance.
Downfield has never been afraid of taking a risk by presenting something entirely different and when "Batboy the Musical" became available for amateurs straight from the Shaftesbury Theatre in the London's West end they grabbed the chance.
It was another production that they transported across the Irish Sea to Waterford and where another award was achieved when they winning the best stage direction by Craig Shearer
An even greater risk was taken when "The Full Monty" was chosen as the autumn show of 2008. It was a massive hit, with an entirely different audience than what was unusual at a DMS show, and once again due to the massive success of the production, the Society repeated it in January the following year.
The inaugural production in the Starlight Showroom was the Broadway hit and another premier for Dundee of "Smokey Joe's Café". Patrons and cast were delighted with the new venue. It was quickly followed by a DMS favourite when the youth section once again presented "Godspell"
In 2002 Downfield decided to "cut their own album". It was a great experience and a large number of members took part. Studios and a record producer were booked and the resulting CD called "Made for Music" hit the record shops in 2003 and was on sale at the Caird Hall celebration. It didn't make top of the pops, but it is a great piece of history for the club and yet another special opportunity for Society members and followers to experience and enjoy
In 2004, and for the third time, DMS were invited to present the Midnight Cabaret at the National Operatic and Dramatic Association's Scottish Conference at Peebles Hotel Hydro.
Also in 2004 the Society's Honorary President, Norman Robertson, was announced as Dundee's Citizen of the Year and In 2006 he was awarded the OBE by the Queen at Holyrood House in Edinburgh.
2006 saw their 21st year in the Guthrie Street premises with a party where Margaret Davidson, DMS's cleaner for all of these years, was made a patron of the Society.
In 2008 the society returned to the Caird Hall to celebrate their 80th Birthday with a show called "Happy Birthday Downfield", this time for two performances and in the same year Downfield were once again honoured at a civic reception once again in the city Chambers to recognise their contribution to entertainment the City of Dundee
Many cabarets were presented in this decade including the usual visits to Peebles and also the wonderful St Andrews Bay Hotel in Fife, with several Tayside hotels including, The Hilton Hotel, The Invercarse Hotel, and The Apex Hotel, and also The MacDonald Hotel in Edinburgh
The starlight showroom opened in 2009. The decision to refurbish the premises to house a small intimate theatrical space came from the need to find a venue to present musicals and plays that could not be financially viable in other venues in the city or would be more suitable for smaller audiences. Designs were submitted and approved and work was completed in a very short time, and resulted in a venue that can hold around 175 depending upon the stage or auditorium layout which can be varied. Other groups can, and have been using the "Starlight" and feedback has been tremendous. Since it opened there have been around ten productions and the excellent reputation is building. The society looks forward to many more successful productions in the Starlight Showroom

one of the best videos parts in a loooong time. Just a few barspins, not a single tailwhip, and he likes to haul ass at everything (it's a BMX bike, not a skateboard! It's meant to go fast! The same old bars-grind-bars-'some trick'-bars-grind combos are pretty annoying).
And just in case Sunday lets him go, he'd be right at home in the bonedeth team haha

Customer Reviews
Overall Experience
- in 7 daysAverage rating3out of 5 stars3.0Hopefully this isn't a new trendLegoisnotabank | 25-34I would recommend this to a friend!Purchased for: SelfSo I do really like this build/item except upon opening I noticed two potentially major issues with this set(regarding the direction lego is heading). #1- Instead of using 4 colors for the base, they only used two. Then gave you a sheet of stickers to put over the two incorrect color areas. Feels kinda cheesy/cheap. Which brings up another issue. In about 1/5 of the sets I buy that have sticker sheets, the sticker sheet is bent on arrival(including both the giant tacky solid colors that are supposed to replace the incorrect bricks that you included in this set) So I'm supposed to stick some ugly bent stickers on this thing? Why can't you put them in a protective sleeve of some sort? This is basic stuff. Now my 2nd issue with this set. You used felt for the two most original shaped pieces. If you think I'm putting a ugly piece of felt on a lego build, you are crazy. Whoever decided to save some money with this trick needs to be retrained in the ethics of legos. Unacceptable. Why even use legos at all. Let's just build things out of stickers & felt. Oh & you can't compare this to ship flags & capes. Completely different. One is necessary, one is for saving a few $. So although I actually really like the bus & would recommend it, it lost two stars for the issues it has. Oh BTW I actually didn't even bother building the swing. I just added those pieces to my spare legos. I would've much preferred if they had used the proper pieces on the bus and not included that other swing thing.Play ExperienceAverage rating3out of 5 stars3.0Level of DifficultyAverage rating2out of 5 stars2.0Value for MoneyAverage rating3out of 5 stars3.0Build Time: 33 minsBuilding Experience: Intermediate LEGO builderWas this helpful?35Rainbow Caterbus
- in about 1 monthAverage rating5out of 5 stars5.0Bright colourful fun!LegoMumof2 | 45-54I would recommend this to a friend!Bought this set for my 7 & 5 yo kids. One built the bus, the other built the swing. They played with the characters as they built. The new foamy felt pieces were much stronger than I thought they would be. The kids loved all the new pieces and colours. They loved the way the caterbus had legs instead of wheels but still rolled along like a regular bus would. They also liked the swing being able to fit 2 people on it. And of course, the Trolls characters are awesomely exact. Overall, it is a good sturdy build with lots of bright happy colours.Play ExperienceAverage rating5out of 5 stars5.0Level of DifficultyAverage rating2out of 5 stars2.0Value for MoneyAverage rating4out of 5 stars4.0Building Experience: Advanced LEGO builderWas this helpful?55Rainbow Caterbus

Binaural Beats Benefits
First of all, if you are into mindfulness then you must capitalize on binaural beat benefits. Furthermore, if you are just beginning your journey to a mindful lifestyle, ASMR binaural audio is very beneficial. From better sleep, lucid dreaming, to experiencing a binaural beats orgasm… It is ALL possible.
Binaural Beats Benefits
In your journey to explore binaural beats benefits, let's maybe start with the basics. Most noteworthy, binaural beats are highly advanced tones that are played in each ear. Calibrated to a perfect hertz level, your brain will synchronize to the tones. Also, ASMR Binaural combines these powerful tones with autonomous sensory meridian response to create powerful physical effects. Consequently, a lot can be achieved with this combination. Using professional technology from iDoser.com, people have experienced a binaural beats orgasm, better sleep, dream control, advanced meditation, and time manipulation. Hence, this cognitive enhancement is a main reason to use technology like iDoser.com.
ASMR Binaural
Certainly, binaural beats benefits are many when using just binaural beats. Even more, an ASMR binaural can be next-level. Yes, people have experienced truly sexual experiences like a binaural beats orgasm. Consequently, an ASMR binaural can have other effects as well, based on design. An ASMR binaural can create a feeling of well-being. Furthermore, it's combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp, down the back of the neck, and through the body. Consequently, these whole-body effects are often why people turn to professional technology like iDoser.com to feel these amazing tingles. Due to this, the technology can often have a very profound physical and startling effect. But you can start with regular binaural beats before feeling the whole-body vibrations of an ASMR binaural.
Binaural Beats Orgasm
Maybe you have heard of the mythical hands-free orgasm. It is certainly possible to have a binaural beats orgasm just by listening to an ASMR binaural. First of all, this will only happen with professional binaural beats. Amateur, YouTube, or other simple binaural sequences just won't cut it. Furthermore, they can often hinder the effects of professional sequences. Likewise, it will also take some practice. However, over several iDoser sessions, it's possible to improve sex. It can also enhance duration, and the fidelity of a sexual experience. Finally, you may even have a hands-free binaural beats orgasm with some practice. Sexual binaural beats benefits are a very real thing, and a common use.
The binaural beat benefits are many. If you are new to these experiences, we recommend you start with binaural beats only. Finally, move to an ASMR binaural for even greater binaural benefits. iDoser is known for their easy-to-use sessions that can amp up in power. As a result, you can craft your own personal journey. They make it easy to enhance your mindfulness lifestyle. Or, experience more intense experiences like a binaural beats orgasm or an ASMR binaural experience. It's all available, on-demand.

I am a woman and I have tired idosing brand sexual "handsfree orgasm" type experiences. I will say this: I never actually had a full on hands free orgasm on the level of a physical touch orgasm. HOWEVER, it was very very close. To a point where when it actually happened it was kind of scary, I was so convinced it just wasn't for me and them BAM. I kinda fell of with my experimenting but it can be a rather profound experience.
Feb 11 2019
Is i-doser the only one that combines ASMR with binaural beats? I really like both independently so I would be very interested in trying a combination of the both.
Feb 11 2019
Binaural beats are the way to go for lucid dreaming. I tried for about a year to have a lucid dream. It wasn't until I started using binaural beats before bed that my dreams because so vivid. Shortly after, I was able to control them but not remember the control. Finally, I started having super vivid dreams I could control and remember. Keep at it is my advice.
Feb 11 2019
This was very interesting. My meditation music is mostly white noise or beach nature sounds. Is this kind of music really that much better?
Feb 11 2019
Be careful of subliminals and the fake binaural channels on youtube. There are hundreds of fake subliminal channels on youtube. These idiots are actually claiming you can use it to change your eye color, race, grow taller, cure cancer – really scammy stuff.

Now that we've explored Sukha (easing up, letting go) and Sthira (control, effort), let's explore what being out of balance looks like and how to not live in extremes.
It is interesting to consider the imbalance created if one were to live life in full-on Sukha-mode. With only ease, relaxation and softening we may cease to accomplish much of value, atrophying while we sit on the couch, allowing Netflix to auto-play the next binge-watched episode into infinity.
In contrast, in full-on Sthira-mode: only effort, control, pushing and holding on, we may become tyrannical workaholics, dogged in our ambitions and achievement-orientedness. Relentless in pursuit of exact outcomes or expectations of self or others we stay busy but lose soul. Exhaustion sets in but you don't notice until you fall over because your body says "no" when you won't.
Living in either extreme tends to become out-of-balance and feel unhealthy after a while. Eventually we notice and try to correct-course. That being said, it isn't easy to regain balance.
For example, someone seeking employment for months on end would understandably exercise Sthira a lot with efforts toward improving their station in life and generating income on which to live. Certainly a logical goal. Finding work does indeed require the effort of Sthira. But even in the context of job searching, one's tireless efforts can become obsessive and cause suffering. Even the job seeker needs balance, I would argue, to be the most effective candidate. She or he needs to be well-rested, relaxed, pulling from her Sukha-side, yet confident and skilled and strengthened in their area of expertise, bringing her Sthira-best; balanced.
Another example might be someone doing online dating and hoping they will meet the partner of their dreams. They have put in the effort of creating a compelling profile, responding to inquiries over email, working on improving their appearance perhaps; putting forth effort to achieve the desired outcome (rocking the Sthira effort stuff). In this case, finding the partner of one's dreams is not an especially controllable outcome (despite excellent efforts). Isn't it funny how things happen when people stop looking? Maybe sometimes Sukha or letting go of control and expectation could be key to the goal itself in the end? Though, it is good to note that not putting a dating profile up at all would not necessarily help the goal (must have the Sthira effort along with the letting go of Sukha).
Together, steady efforts of Sthira (in yoga or in life) along with the softening and allowing of Sukha creates balance. Grace Duckworth beautifully states the need to balance both Sukha and Sthira:
In asana practice, when we push ourselves 100% we lose track of our breath because we can no longer control the pace – this is all sthira, only steadiness or effort. On the other end of the spectrum when we find something that is comfortable – like practicing the same posture the same way over and over without challenging a new approach – this is all ease or surrender. We have to find balance between the two. When something is challenging we cannot only push, we have to release somewhere; and when something is easy we search for a way to bring more to the posture or our practice.
"Just find balance" sounds cliche, I know. But it's kind of awesomely helpful putting it into practice. Sukha/ Sthira offers a deeper way of looking at this truth, perhaps inviting it to take root more fully in your life.
These new ideas can bring new awareness to when we might be pushing too hard or it may help you notice when you might not be pushing hard enough. Balancing ourselves is hard but noticing when we're out of balance and trying to do something about it is a great start.
For me, I struggle more with too much Sthira, too much doing and not enough easing up. I began to notice when I was overdoing it. I gave myself permission to ease up, let go, let myself not work so hard, and guess what? I was okay! I didn't even feel guilty, I felt an opening up of possibilities and confidence that things will be alright, even if I'm not putting forth effort all the time. I learned that my working hard is great and all but there's a limit at which it begins to backfire. There's a point at which ease, relaxation and letting go is MORE beneficial than working even harder.
By allowing ourselves to be more gentle, more relaxed, more open while putting forth effort and doing awesome stuff, that's when true growth happens and we find balance.
