Article: Viv Da Silva
Have you ever heard the phrase don't burn bridges ? It is one I have always associated with people, but what if it could be applied to cluttered emotions we let fester over time? What if we could harmoniously control our emotions as they transition between positive and negative. On my journey to a healthier mind, I often feel as though I am playing wack-a-mole with my negative habits and the feelings which created the habit if reacting to myself in unkind way.
'Building a bridge' with our emotions is based mainly on meditation and visualisation techniques. Whenever I experiences negative feelings I picture myself on a bridge between my dark and happy experiences, first telling myself that I am okay to feel this and I begin to assess the nuances in my behaviour patterns and triggers that appear to bring me back to those feelings. This I find helpful in that whenever I notice a downfall in my mood I am able to quickly pinpoint it and combat it out.
Using the visualisation of the bridge as a way to become a third party to my own feelings helped me realise that I had previously found it hard to come out of my distressing moments because I didn't think I had any good moments in my life. By creating good moments such as attending a free local concert, trying a tea tree peel mask and being consistent in my hobbies I am building a stronger sense of happiness that assists me in walking along the "bridge to my positivity'' without bashing myself for having negative feelings.

Money & Meaning
Allow me to make something overwhelmingly clear. Simply because I have chosen a profession that has the potential to make me rich and if I invest my money intelligently, wealthy, that does not mean I have in some way abdicated my feelings or responsibilities toward my role in creating the world I want to see for my children. The idea that one has to work for a non-profit or a charity in order to make the world a better place in absurd. This is not to say that those occupations are not important, it is to say that they are not the only avenue to "being that change you want to see in the world".
My film school colleagues and I want to make money. That is A goal, for some it might even be THE goal, but it is not the ONLY goal. Speaking only for myself, the films I want to make, specifically the documentaries I want to make and their content is how I plan to change the world. Telling stories with rich, substantive characters whose journey can inform the lives of people across the globe is how I plan to change the world. Whether I do it in a business suit in an executive suite or in sweatpants at my home computer, film is what I want to give the world of myself. If it also affords me the ability to feed my family and enjoy a few uncommon luxuries so be it.
The argument that industry may not change the world is also absurd. Industry changes the world every day. Every home appliance, piece of technology, hell the watch on your wrist is a product of industry. Fresh water wells in Africa, industry. International disaster relief materials, industry. I do not have to sacrifice my desire to influence the world just because I dream of a particular standard of living not only for myself but also for future generations of my family. One of the greatest achievements is to find something that gives you purpose, fulfills your passion, makes the world and you better, and provides substantial monetary compensation. I can't have it all? You obviously don't know me very well.

A comprehensive deal to put the United States on a sustainable fiscal path, one that includes both tax and entitlement reform, has thus far proved elusive for policymakers. As Washington gears up for a series of heated budget battles in 2013, former White House budget director and CFR Senior Fellow Peter Orszag notes how improving value in healthcare can both shore up Treasury's bottom line and shield U.S. workers from the effects of globalization.
"It is not hard to work out what is driving our long-term fiscal gap," writes Orszag in this opinion piece for the Financial Times. "President Barack Obama is right. We do not have a spending problem – we have a healthcare problem."

It sounds like a nightmare.
You've been dropped off in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Over the next six days you will have to run, jog, walk or crawl 155 miles through the incredible, incessant heat -- temperatures routinely reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit -- across soft sand and hard-parked gravel, over sand dunes multiple stories high and down rocky hills. You must do this carrying everything you need to survive -- clothes, food, sunscreen, emergency medical supplies, sleeping bag -- in a pack on your back.
This is a nightmare that 120 people paid $3,100 each to endure. They've signed checks, filled out medical forms, bought equipment and supplies, packed bags and flown in from all over the globe. Oh, and they've trained, too.
After all, this is the Sahara Race 2009, one-fourth of RacingThePlanet's 4 Deserts Series, and the people living this nightmare are world-class athletes. They're here to compete, to push themselves to the limit and beyond, to run roughly a marathon a day for four days and a double marathon on the fifth day, all through one of the hottest, least hospitable landscapes on Earth.
In a society conditioned to believe that to the victor go the spoils, one would expect a competition like the Sahara Race to have quite a payoff at the end. There must be quite a carrot dangling from the end of this stick, because in this case the ass has to go through a place that seems a lot like hell to get it. So what does the first across the finish line stand to win?
A shiny, new trophy.
Forget fame and fortune. Chances are you've never heard of Paolo Barghini, a 49-year-old doctor from Italy, who won the 2009 race. And Barghini crushed the backbreaking fifth stage, a 54.31-mile killer, in 9 hours, 52 minutes, 30 seconds -- nearly an hour better than the next-best contestant.
The rewards of a race like this are not material. They are mental. Which is fitting, because to run a race like this, through a place like this, for no tangible thing, you seemingly have to be a bit mental.
At least that's what people thought when George Chmiel Jr. told them he wanted to run the Sahara.
"Initially they thought I was certifiably insane," he said. "I'd either lost my mind or had a death wish."
It was a reasonable reaction, considering Chmiel, a 28-year-old Annapolis, Md., native and Charlestown, Mass., resident, had started running seriously only two years before. Sure, he'd run eight marathons since then, but to his friends, family and colleagues this seemed like too much way too soon.
Not to Chmiel. To Chmiel, it seemed perfect.
He was going to run across the Sahara carrying his life on his back. He would do it for himself, and he would do it for a girl.
For a girl, for MAGIC
Luciana Horvath is 3 years old.
There's a picture of her on the Web site built for the cause. She's beautiful, as happy children are. Her light brown hair is pulled back in pigtails. Her eyes are shining, her smile bright and wide. From looking at the picture, you can't tell anything is wrong.
Looking at it, you realize what it means to be picture-perfect.
Reality is far from perfect. Luciana -- Luci to friends and family -- has congenital panhypopituitarism, a condition that affects roughly one in every million people. There are only 350 known cases in the U.S. It means Luci was born with an underdeveloped pituitary gland, so her body can't produce all the hormones it needs, hormones that regulate growth, that deal with physical and mental stress, that help the body cope with sickness.
Luci's parents, Mike and Jolie Horvath, give her medications and injections every day. They give her hydrocortisone as an adrenal hormone replacement and Synthroid to boost her low thyroid hormone level. Every night they inject her with human growth hormone. The HGH injections are unpleasant, to say the least. When the time comes, Luci fights, cries, flees, screams and then, maybe worst of all, apologizes.
"You hear HGH all the time, and the first thing you do is think negative thoughts," Mike Horvath said. "My daughter takes HGH every day because if she doesn't, she'll die."
If Luci doesn't get all her medications, if she gets a common cold or a flu virus, if she's overtired or stressed, her life is in danger because her body can't cope on its own. Instead of fighting, Luci's body shuts down.
"She turns blue, her eyes roll up in the back of her head and she throws up her other medications," Horvath said. "When that happens, we have to give her an emergency injection and go to the emergency room."
Horvath estimates that has happened 10 or 11 times in Luci's three years of life. Because her condition is rare, when they're forced to rush Luci to the ER, the Horvaths often know more about the affliction and its treatment than the doctors and nurses at the hospital. And so the beleaguered parents have to move past their obvious concerns for their daughter and explain to the medical professionals how to save her life.
The quest for knowledge about panhypopituitarism led the Horvaths to The MAGIC Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports families with children afflicted with diseases, disorders or syndromes that affect growth. Through MAGIC, the Horvaths met other families with children who had Luci's condition, were able to learn from their experiences and to lean on those who knew just what they were going through.
The support structure provided by The MAGIC Foundation is invaluable, but there is still a real need to raise money for research and awareness of Luci's condition.
Enter Chmiel.
Mike Horvath and Chmiel met when both worked for Merrill Lynch. They were colleagues, then partners -- Horvath working from Houston, Chmiel from New York City, then Boston -- and then friends. Chmiel learned all about Luci's condition, as it would frequently force Horvath to drop work and rush to her side.
But he didn't really understand the impact it had on the Horvaths' lives until he spent a weekend with the family last year. Chmiel had persuaded Horvath to run the Houston marathon with him and stayed with the family while in town for the race.
The experience that weekend opened Chmiel's eyes to just how serious the Horvaths' situation was and convinced him that if there were anything he could do to help, he would. So when he decided he would run the Sahara Race, it seemed running it for Luci and The MAGIC Foundation was "a great fit."
"It was kind of hand in hand, I don't think I would've done one without the other," Chmiel said. "You can't run a race like this just for yourself, you have to do it for someone else, too."
Running through hell
The Sahara Race is an endurance competition in the strictest sense of the term. The intense heat and long distance combine to put even the best-conditioned athlete to the test. Not only does a competitor have to run 155 miles through the desert, he or she has to do so carrying a roughly 20-pound pack.
Mismanage this race, and you don't just risk losing. You risk your life.
To mitigate the risk to competitors, the Sahara Race organizers implemented basic safety guidelines. Competitors are required to carry certain things -- emergency medical supplies, a minimum of 14,000 calories (2,000 per day) in food and a supply of electrolytes, among other things -- and to enter and exit several checkpoints on each leg of the race. At each checkpoint, competitors have access to a ration of water (which is supplied for them throughout the race) and medical attention (which they decide to use or ignore).
After each stage, organizers supply competitors with tents in which to sleep, water with which to cook and access to the world outside the Sahara, via an Internet tent, with which to maintain touch with reality.
The race runs through the Sahara in Egypt on a rough northeast track from the Farafra Oasis in the White Desert to the Bahariya Oasis in the Western Desert. (Competitors are then bused to the final stage, a victory lap by the pyramids of Giza.) The course is marked off with small pink flags. At night, the course is marked off with glow sticks. This may seem simple, but in a race in which conserving every possible resource is paramount, the slightest unexpected expenditure can be incredibly costly.
So when Chmiel got lost toward the end of the first stage, he admitted in his official race blog, it was "pretty scary."
After completing the first 20 or so miles with no problems, Chmiel lost the trail. He'd long lost sight of the other competitors, and all of a sudden he realized he couldn't see the next flag. He didn't know where he was, which was bad, and he was just about out of water, which was worse.
Discussing it after the fact, Chmiel cited his frustration at the lost time and energy first.
Then, almost as an afterthought, he mentioned being, you know, afraid for his life: "You have an emergency whistle that you blow if something bad happens, and other competitors hear it and blow theirs and someone comes to help. I was almost at that point. For about six or seven minutes, I got scared."
Chmiel saw another competitor running in another direction, so he decided to try to catch him. Maybe he knew where the course was. After a while, though, Chmiel saw two more competitors in the distance, running in yet another direction.
"I was totally lost, and out of water," Chmiel said. "You die out there if you run out of water for two or three hours."
Luckily for Chmiel and the other lost runners, a support truck appeared on the course and inadvertently showed them the way. They lost valuable time -- Chmiel said he'd been on pace to finish the stage in less than three and a half hours -- and energy, but as Chmiel admitted, "It could've been a lot worse."
If luck got Chmiel through to the end of the first stage, sheer strength -- of body and, perhaps more importantly, of mind -- would get him through the rest of the race. And Chmiel had great stores of strength, built through the blunt-force trauma that was his training for the Sahara.
Training for the unimaginable
A self-described "fireball," Chmiel is not a man of half-measures. He's either all in or all out. Most of the time, he's all in.
"At first when you meet him it can be annoying," Mike Horvath said of Chmiel. "He's a little arrogant, but he's not cocky. He's the type of person that when he sets his mind to something, he's going to do it."
Chmiel started running seriously just more than two years ago, after a wrist injury suffered in a pickup football game -- "Your typical post-poultry bowl," Chmiel called it -- required reconstructive surgery. After the surgery he couldn't play football, couldn't golf, but he said his competitive juices were still flowing and he figured, "My legs still work, why don't I take up running?"
He started running, promptly got addicted to it and eventually ran a marathon. Then he ran another. And another. And then another after that. In the past two years, Chmiel has run eight marathons -- Boston, San Diego, Houston, Nashville, Park City, Hartford, Philadelphia and Providence.
Although he first trained for marathons in 2007, it wasn't the first time he ran one. His first marathon was Boston, which he said he ran when he was a senior at Boston College in 2003.
"Even though I wasn't a runner and wasn't in great shape, I did it for charity and went out and ran it without really training," Chmiel said. "Just wanted to experience what it was like. It was such a high for me, but I didn't like running, and I thought, 'I'll never do another marathon.'"
Fast-forward to 2009, and Chmiel has moved on from simple 26.2-mile races and set his sights on the Sahara Race.
"Most people go from a marathon to a triathlon to an ultramarathon and then maybe attempt this," Horvath said. "He skipped all that. He went from one extreme to another. He said, 'I'm going to run a marathon' and then went right to 'I'm going to run this 4 Deserts race.'"
Like most people, Horvath was skeptical when Chmiel first mentioned his goal.
"In all honesty, I said, 'You're nuts,'" Horvath said. "He sent me a competitor's blog from a prior year and said, 'This is awesome, I want to do it.'"
When Horvath asked Chmiel whether he was sure, Chmiel's reaction was to say, "What, you don't think I can do it?"
To ensure that he could do it, Chmiel trained. Hard. For four months, he spent nearly every spare moment running -- doing speed work during the week and distance work on the weekends. He bought equipment and tested out different dehydrated foods, nutritional supplements and electrolyte tablets. As you might expect, the food didn't taste great.
"Some are better than others," Chmiel said of his breakfasts and dinners. "You're mixing boiled water with dehydrated food -- it's almost like soup. Chicken and rice soup, lasagna soup. The spicier ones tasted better -- the chicken tikka. In the end, you didn't care what it tasted like, you had to get as much energy as you could or you're done."
All that training added up in money -- he estimates he spent more than $7,000 to run the Sahara Race, including the $3,100 entry fee, travel costs to Cairo, equipment and supplies. It also added up to a lot of time.
And Chmiel didn't exactly have an abundance of spare time to begin with, because he regularly works 12-hour days in his job as a vice president at Bank of America/Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, where he manages the Structured Investments group's northeast region.
"You don't have a lot of free time, and you don't sleep a lot," he said.
"I don't sit around on the couch very much," Chmiel said. But that doesn't mean he and his roommates don't use their couch: "When I get home I'm usually so tired I fall asleep on it for 30 minutes before I make it to bed."
He pushed through the fatigue of training by envisioning himself out on the course, by envisioning himself making a difference for Luci, who calls him Uncle George, for the Horvaths and for The MAGIC Foundation.
To attempt to approximate the conditions he'd be running in, Chmiel and a friend flew to Death Valley, Calif., for a training run. They spent three days there in the middle of August, Chmiel running and the friend driving behind him in a pickup truck, urging him on from the safety of the air-conditioned cab.
"I was going out there looking for a confidence builder, trying to get adjusted to the heat," Chmiel said. "I thought, 'If I can have a few good days there running, maybe it won't be so bad.' It was my first time trying to eat while running in those conditions. I got nauseous and couldn't keep anything down."
After the Death Valley training sessions, Chmiel said he thought, "Well, I know it's not going to get much worse than this."
Experience the local culture ... as you run by it
Ask Chmiel what attracted him to the Sahara Race, and he'll say everything you'd expect -- the cliché, he really wanted to push himself; the altruistic, he wanted to make a difference -- and something you wouldn't: "Heard about RacingThePlanet, thought it would be a great way to experience local culture, see the sights and landmarks."
True enough, the 4 Deserts races do advertise themselves as cultural experiences. According to the series' Web site, "Each of these deserts is completely unique and in every race you find yourself immersed in ancient cultures surrounded by stunning scenery and indigenous wildlife."
But make sure you keep a respectful distance from the surroundings. As the "4 Deserts Rules and Regulations" clearly state, under the title "Tread Lightly," racers are not to get too involved in this experience: "If you see plant foliage, do not step on it. If there are unique rock formations, do not touch or disturb the rocks. If you see ancient ruins or fossils, do not remove them from their location."
Although he makes repeated references to the beauty of the landscapes, Chmiel had only a brief brush with "ancient cultures" and saw very little "indigenous wildlife." During the fifth stage, a 54-mile torture chamber called "The Black Desert March," competitors ran through an oasis and the Bedouin village of El Ris.
"That was definitely one of the highlights of the week and the trip and a memory I'll never forget," Chmiel said. "That first 20 to 24 miles, it was almost like running on the surface of the moon. So rocky, so barren. A little undulating, but so flat. You could see for miles and miles, and there was just nothing.
"It was heating up and getting really difficult, and then you start seeing this green, like the tips of trees out in the distance."
Running on, Chmiel came to the edge of a cliff overlooking the oasis. The sight of lush, green vegetation with a village in its midst gave him a push, and he said he flew down the slope. At the bottom, villagers stood, cheering the racers on.
"I don't even know if they understood what was going on," Chmiel said. "Maybe because [4 Deserts] run this race every year they're used to it."
Chmiel said he took a little boy and girl by the hand and ran a few hundred yards with them. When they stopped running, Chmiel noticed the boy was pointing to his left ear.
"I thought he wanted to listen to the music, that he'd never seen an iPod," Chmiel said. "Then I realized he was pointing to my sunglasses -- I wear these ridiculous red glasses, I'd had 'em for three years and I love 'em -- so I took them off and gave them to him."
It was after that emotional high, after that cultural cross-pollination, when Chmiel hit rock bottom. The oasis checkpoint was the fourth stop of the fifth leg, but it was only halfway to the finish line. Chmiel had never run a race this distance before, let alone run a race this distance after running four consecutive marathons in the stifling heat of the desert. He was just about spent, and the soft sand was sucking away his strength with every step.
"It was very, very difficult," Chmiel said. "I started getting dejected, I was out of breath, I started walking." And as he walked, other competitors passed him.
It seemed as though he'd reached the end, as though he'd pushed his body to its limit, to where it could go no farther and then he went farther.
Chmiel reached the fifth checkpoint and rested for five minutes. He forced down a dehydrated meal and made a push for the finish line.
Then, he said, a few factors collided, and he found a zone. The terrain changed back from soft sand to a flat, rocky stretch; the temperature cooled a few degrees; and one of Chmiel's favorite country songs, "Remember When" by Alan Jackson, played on his iPod. The song made him think of where he was and what he'd accomplished so far and gave him resolve to fight through the fatigue, the lactic acid buildup and the pain.
"I just started running really fast," he said simply. "I didn't walk a step from that point until the finish."
After passing the finish line
When Chmiel crossed the finish line, he'd been running flat-out for close to four hours. The fatigue caught up to him in a hurry. The normally fiery Chmiel -- whose favorite running music is the "Rocky" soundtrack -- had a different reaction to this finish.
"I usually let out a big war cry or a scream and throw my pack down, but that time my head just went straight down into the sand," Chmiel said. He spent the next few hours shivering and shaking, being tended to by the medical staff. "That was a tough few hours there, but that's to be expected."
The next day, the competitors were bused to Cairo for the last stage -- an untimed jaunt past the Sphinx and ending before the Great Pyramid of Giza. The competitors crossed a camel-lined finish line, then posed in front of the pyramids holding their country's flag.
After the awards ceremony, Chmiel took a red-eye flight from Cairo back to Boston. His roommates picked him up from the airport; they were all wearing T-shirts they had made with pictures of Chmiel from the race. That was on Sunday, Nov. 1. When Chmiel went to get ready for work the next day, he had trouble fitting his swollen, blistered feet into his dress shoes.
In addition to the swelling, Chmiel lost toenails, suffered shin splints and had a gash on his neck from the straps of his pack. He lost 15 pounds.
But Chmiel's final push was good enough to earn him fifth place overall and first in his age group and made him the first American finisher. And to his great surprise, people flocked to his story. Race organizers offered competitors the chance to write personal blogs for the event, and people could leave comments on them. Each night, organizers would collect the comments in a shared spreadsheet for the competitors to read.
"The number of blog comments received by George definitely set a record for the races," said Mary K. Gadams, CEO and founder of RacingThePlanet.
They were from friends, family, colleagues, MAGIC Foundation supporters and complete strangers. They were messages of inspiration, of gratitude, of amazement.
What started as a modest goal -- run a race to compete and to raise money for charity -- one repeated all across the country, all over the world, all the time, turned into something bigger.
"It wasn't just about me, it was about what we could all do together united behind this common cause," Chmiel said.
The support added up, on and off the course. On the course, it was motivational -- "It was just a driving force for me out there. Clung to those stories, clung to those emotions, and it fueled me." Off the course, it was monetary -- Chmiel raised more than $60,000 for The MAGIC Foundation.
For the Horvaths, it all added up to limitless possibilities.
"I can tell Luci that she can do everything other kids can do," Mike Horvath said. "If George can do this, run four marathons back to back and then a double marathon on the fifth day in 120-degree heat, then she can live as normal a life as possible given her condition and then some."
Not bad for anyone, let alone a first-time ultramarathoner.
Dean Karnazes, an elite ultramarathoner, author of "Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner" and a member of the 4 Deserts Club -- reserved for those who have completed all four races -- was impressed by Chmiel's showing.
"It is surprising, and a true testament to his grit and talent," Karnazes said by e-mail, adding that most elite ultramarathoners are "too skinny and lack the strength to carry all of that weight on their back for six days. George has the right balance of strength and endurance and he used this combination to his advantage."
Thinking back on that performance, Chmiel focused on the finish line. He remembered falling flat on his face and how he thought to himself, "There's no way in hell I'm ever doing this again."
Gadams said she'll be surprised if she doesn't see Chmiel in another 4 Deserts race.
And although he might've disagreed as he was lying in the sand in the Sahara, Chmiel said it didn't take long for that to change.
"Twelve hours later, I was thinking about the next one I'm going to do."
After all, when you're a fireball, you're either all in, or you're all out.

Are you thinking about renovating your home this season? Consider a new look for your backyard. Here are 3 reasons to renovate the backyard to your Florida home.
1 – Compete Against Newer Homes
Florida is filled with new construction properties. One of the most common features in new construction is a nice backyard with private pool. When it comes time to sell your home, these are the properties that you will be competing against. To successfully compete in the market in the near or even distant future, your backyard must have features that attract potential buyers. In Florida, a backyard with pool is an absolute must!
2 – Increase Home Value
When you renovate the backyard to your Florida home, you increase your home's value. Not only would a renovation make your backyard appear more modern and appealing, but it's also an opportunity to add new features that directly impact home price. Consider these additional features in your renovation plans:
- Screen/Cover
- Hot Tub
- Fountains
- Extended Patio
- Outdoor Kitchen
- Outdoor Living Room
3 – Better Enjoyment of Your Home
Although the above focuses on home values and selling your home, enjoying your backyard yourself is just as important a factor. Why renovate purely for future buyers to enjoy the space? Renovate the backyard to your Florida home so that you and your family can get the most use from it too! A good design plan will allow you to enjoy your pool and backyard all year long. Contact us to discuss your goals. We specialize in creative design solutions to make your home unique.

The inaugural Wine Country Spoken Word Festival runs Friday–Sunday, Oct. 13–15. Sarah Vowell appears at the Mystic Theatre (with storyteller Bil Lepp and poet Steven Connell) on Saturday, Oct. 14, at 7:30pm. Single tickets, $15–$55; weekend pass, $140; VIP pass, $250. davepokornypresents.com/wine-country-spoken-word.
'I love paper," says Sarah Vowell, lingering on the word "love" just a tad longer than most people would find comfortable. Her emphasis suggests a connection that extends beyond mere appreciation or respect, and strays into something akin to a deeply emotional relationship.
"It's true. It's a relationship. Books are my first love," she affirms. "Books are where I found refuge as a kid. I love books. So I love paper."
First rising to fame as the teller of astonishing true stories on National Public Radio's This American Life, Vowell now regularly reads aloud from her bestsellers like The Wordy Shipmates or Lafayette in the Somewhat United States. Her distinctly recognizable voice has even been heard as Violet, the invisible girl, in Disney-Pixar's The Incredibles.
This weekend, Vowell will be headlining the inaugural Wine Country Spoken Word Fest, taking the stage on Saturday night at the Mystic Theater, to regale fans with her off-the-cuff Mensa-nerd verbalism and dry observations about the state of the world. Her appearance is part of an all-star evening that includes West Virginia storyteller Bil Lepp and Los Angeles actor-poet Steven Connell.
Asked what exactly she'll be talking about, Vowell says she's not entirely sure. She imagines she will read from one or more of her books, will probably discuss something happening in the news and will basically wing the rest.
"It's very improvisational, what I do," she says. "I always think I know what I'm going to talk about, but then I tend to edit and change as I go. I'll probably read from one of my books. I do tend to do that. I read, and then I interrupt myself. Then I fight valiantly against my own interruptions. And then I read some more. And then I take questions. I love taking questions. That's the most spontaneous part of what I do. Basically, I really never know what's going to happen."
As a writer who's appeared all over the country, Vowell has learned that different parts of the U.S. respond differently to what she says. For example, on the West Coast, audiences tend to hiss and boo when she mentions the name of some contemporary figure they find repellent. Once she got over her initial assumption that West Coast audiences were hissing at her, she's now come to appreciate the hissing, to a degree.
"It's a good problem to have, the freedom to hiss public figures whom you oppose," says Vowell. "It's a very accessible and low-tech form of social expression, hissing is. Though it's a bit less articulate than the type of discourse that usually gets me excited.
"That sense of freedom to hiss," she continues, "to express yourselves through sounds—it filters down into your West Coast college students, too. Though they tend to want to talk a lot also, and not just hiss. West Coast students are definitely more verbally rambunctious than East Coast students. East Coast students tend to just sit there and smile and silently seethe."
Vowell allows that talking about history onstage requires a balance of historical accuracy and humor. Her public appearances tend to be a lot funnier than her books.
"Not that my books don't have a lot of humor," she says. "They do. But they're history, right? There are whole chunks about genocide and slavery and unspeakable horrors. So when I'm doing an event like the one in Petaluma, I tend to focus on those stories that have a lot of humor, that have a little more razzledazzle.
"Because sometimes I do need to be entertaining," she says, adding, "In my books, though, I reserve the right to be a drag."
Which brings us back to the subject of paper.
"It's appropriate somehow," she says, "to communicate about history on actual paper, which, let's face it, is going to be history sooner or later."
E-readers are replacing books, she points out. Many people prefer to get their news online than in an actual newspaper. Asked if there is a way to save print, and papers and magazines for the future, Vowell grow silent.
"Oh, I'm sure there is," she finally says. "I hope there is. But if it has anything do with the internet, I'm not sure I approve. I'm an old-fashioned person who still believes in things like the letter to the editor. I believe in well-written news stories and solid reporting and news bureaus all over the world. I don't even think newspaper photos need to be in color.
"From where I stand," says Vowell, "color photos are a little too newfangled for me."

How Do Stereotypes Play a Role in the Modern-Day Woman's' Society?
Have you ever been to a gender reveal or baby shower? If so, then you have probably noticed that the color scheme was pink if it was a girl, or blue if it was a boy; this is a perfect example of a stereotype. However, this stereotype is not very extreme when it comes to the emotional effects it has, unlike the stereotypes faced by woman, such as the common belief that beauty is only skinny. Today's society holds women to a high standard through their stereotypical view of what a woman should be. This stereotypical view has a negative impact on women and leads to decreases in women's mental health, body shaming, or even suicide.
Stereotypes are something that effects just about everything, such as stereotypes against certain dogs, but the stereotypes that women face have gotten worse and are still increasing. Women are usually stereotyped high on communion, which according to our text is traits which reflect connectedness or concern for others. Some of the most common stereotypes that women face is the idea that women belong in the home and should cook/clean, or even the idea that women should have a "tight" body or be super tall and super skinny. The problem with stereotypes such as the ones mentioned, is that people see these as society rules that must be abided by. This can lead to two major consequences, (1) people feel pressure to conform to this stereotype, and if they fail, then they should face punishment and (2) if the stereotype is negative, then people could be faced with interpersonal behaviors or personal anxieties which increase the reinforcement of that stereotype.
Now, before jumping into the effects of these stereotypes, let's identify where they came from. According to the text, there are three possible origins of gender stereotypes, (1) the suggestion by evolutionary psychology that they are derived/ reflect from genetically inherited differences of men and women that they exhibit in their behaviors and traits, (2) the social role theory which views them as coming from the large-scale sex differences between the social roles typically occupied of men and women, and (3) the biosocial constructionist theory, which is a copy of the social role theory with an addition of both evolutionary and social approaches. But, these stereotypes are not carried on through history from the theories which they derived from, they are carried on by the believers of them.
An article from the Soc Psychiatry Psychiatr Epidemiol, showed a statistic in one of their tests, that when asking a group of 20- to 32-year-old respondents in 2007 who did the chores, 70% of men and women reported that the woman did more chores and 18% of men while 14% of women reported that they were equally shared. This provides great evidence towards the stereotype that women belong in the home. The major consequences behind stereotypes similar to these is that they cause a negative effect on a woman's career/ life, which then can lead to unhealthy mental capacity or even suicide. The majority of CEO's in today's society are men, because women are supposed to be seen as the nurturing care-takers or stay-at-home mothers. Even in today's integrated society, you don't see an equal number of women hired as to men, because society sees women as dead weight because they could possibly lose her for 6 weeks if she decided to have a child.
The stereotypes that have the most detrimental effect are the ones that refer to a woman's body and how she looks at herself. With the rise in today's technology, plastic surgeons can enhance so many people's bodies to the point where it is incapable to obtain a body like that unless you have plastic surgery. This is where body shaming comes into play, women see the commercials, magazines, or on social media these women whose bodies appear to be perfect and are receiving all this positive feedback, then the women go back home and look at themselves in the mirror and become unhappy with themselves. The majority of the women on television have either had plastic surgery, computer modified bodies (photo shopped), or even both done to their bodies. So, everyday women are getting the negative effects from them, and starting to hate the bodies that were given to them.
One of the most common negative effects of body shaming is the development of eating disorders. In an article from Body Image 14,they conducted a study to determine whether your level of self-compassion could indicate the levels of your body shaming, depression, or negative eating attitudes. In this study, they had 306 female participants, of those, 106 were in the high self-compassion range and 104 were in the low self-compassion range. The participants completed a self-compassion scale, eating attitudes test, patient health questionnaire, and calculated their BMI (body mass index), from these, they concluded that, "cultivating an attitude of self-compassion has the potential to inoculate women against the negative effects of living in such a harmful environment and of engaging in self-objectification".
In conclusion, stereotypes are the cause of determental effects to women's health both mentally and physically. Whether the effected women are physically coping with methods of body shaming or even committing suicide due to the depression, or emotionally coping through depression or causing themselves to lose self-value, they still are victims. But, stereotypes are not going away, and today's society holds women to a high standard as an effect of this. So, as a community one can partake in acts of self-love and learning to become happy with their bodies. Through awareness, interventions, and teamwork one can overcome the judgmental hardships society puts on others.

Discovery Of Being It seems as though every Sociologist creates his or her own definition of Anxiety. Each definition of Anxiety being ghastly different, however, tying back to three common situations: Fear, Encounters with primary groups, secondary groups, and the public, and Anxiety towards Self-Growth. In analyzing Rollo May's "The Discovery of Being," we find that May incorporates many different definitions of these situations from other Sociologists, as well as ties in many of his own thoughts and ideas. Also at times, May disregards strongly other Sociologist's views on these situations, creating an interesting and unique view of society and Psychology. In this analysis of "The Discovery of Being," we will examine May's particular definitions and thoughts on Anxiety and Being, Anxiety and Encounter, and Anxiety and Self-Growth.
Early in the book, May touches on his views of Anxiety, he discusses Anxiety as being something that does not arise from a fear of "lack of libidinal satisfactions or security," but rather out of fear of our own powers, and any pertaining conflicts. He discusses this as a present day problem, which has been significantly influenced by society and present societal goals. Libidinal satisfactions are so easily encountered in our day that it becomes hard to avoid them. The prevalent Anxiety is found upon self-reflection and our own realizations of what we actually can do, but for some reason neglect to do so. Our constant outlook to go further in society than our neighbor is tied to our Anxiety of Being and Non-Being.

May looks closely at the concept of Being, and notes at one point that "Being" is a participle, also meaning in the process of "being something." An individual's Being is constantly changing throughout life, never reaching a set point. More specifically, May defines Being as an individual's pattern of potentialities. Anxiety arises when these potentialities grow harder to obtain or hidden from clear view. In modern society, man no longer holds his Sense of Being, but is looked at as a mechanism for others to succeed or save time or enjoy their libidinal satisfactions. "A man knows himself not as a man or self, but as a token seller in the subway, a grocer, a professor, a vice-president of AT&T, or by whatever his economic function may be." The point where Anxiety plays into Being is moreover in the state referred to as non-being.
Non-being traditionally would be looked at as death, of which, even to this day, causes for much Anxiety. However, in today's society, non-being also refers to the state of not achieving or not meeting your potentialities. In light of this, people seek ways of avoiding any confrontation with non-being. "Perhaps the most ubiquitous and ever-present form of the failure to confront non-being in our day is in conformism, the tendency of the individual to be absorbed in the sea of collective responses and attitudes,..,with the corresponding loss of his own awareness, potentialities, and whatever characterizes him as a unique and original being." The second Anxiety-plagued situation is that of Encounter with another individual. May sees encounters as a phenomenon where individuals take an extraordinary risk in forming trust bonds while determining the amount, if any, of self-disclosure the individual is willing to share.
May includes several levels of encounters with which we deal with on a day-to-day basis. The first level is that of real persons, where our loneliness is subsided by interactions with nearly anyone. The second level is that of friends, of whom we trust and of whom listen and understand you. The third is esteem/agape in which you display an inner-concern for people's welfare. And the final level is simply erotic.
May describes Anxiety in Encounter as arising out of anticipation and an altering of our comfortable temporary security as we are opened to another individual. There is a brief moment when we must decide how to react and interact with this person, which generally clears the way for Anxiety as to how this person will in turn react to your responses. Anxiety about the self-image arises, as self-concept begins being questioned. May notes that it is not possible in an encounter for "one person to have a feeling without the other having it to some degree also." Thus, Anxiety, when felt by one participant of the encounter, is generally felt by all other remaining participants. The final situation in which Anxiety commonly arises is within Self-Growth.
May's describes every human as being centered in themselves, and centered in their respected lives. Sudden changes throw off the balance of this center and can cause much distress. However, May states that "all existing persons have the need and possibility of going out from their centeredness to participate in other beings." This is our first glimpse of Self-Growth. The Anxiety that arises in this attempted Self-Growth is found in the risk involved in straying from one's center. By no means is the amount that one strays from his center proportional to the growth that will result, but the more risks taken, or the more times he strays from the center, the more growth he should experience. Self-Growth can be viewed as a direct result of May's human awareness or Self-Consciousness.
Anxiety emerges quickly when discussing Self-Consciousness, especially in the case of high school and college girls. Suddenly, a self-concept is conceived and every waking hour is spent creating the self-image. Anxiety strikes high when the image is not upheld or becomes outdated. Self-Growth also ties in with May's modern day definition of Being. The modern man who lacks the sense of being, and is only recognized for his contributions to the societal machine, leaves little room for self-growth, and yet bears so much Anxiety as a result of his non-being.
In looking at May's ideas of conformity being the catalysts for non-being, self-growth becomes insignificant, and Anxiety remains fairly low. This is because one's centeredness also becomes the boundaries, not allowing for one to stray past and take the added risk involved in seeking self-growth. Anxiety is defined in Webster's Dictionary as "distress of mind; uneasiness." Although vague and bland, this definition seems to cover the variety of ways that Anxiety can creep into one's head. We looked at three different situations where Anxiety commonly arises, and in each of the situation, we returned with a new entirely unique definition. An amazing point of May's was that he claimed Anxiety changes and with it, the definition of Anxiety changes as time passes by. Societal goals change, and thus self-growth changes; mannerisms and interaction techniques change and encounter changes; personal power and libidinal satisfactions change, and so once again May's definition of Anxiety and Being must change as well.
Thus, the process of studying Anxiety is a constantly changing field, yet remains a similar feeling to all who experience it, regardless of the time period. May's unique writing style and brilliant thoughts made Anxiety a remarkably easy and interesting topic to read about.

Switzerland performed quite decently at the Euro 2016 they had reached the first knock-out stage of the competition from a tough group containing the hosts France, Albania and Romania. They were drawn against Poland in the round of 16 and were unfortunate to lose out on the penalty shoot-out. The Swiss team also had also made it to the last three World Cups and reached the first knock-out stage on 2006 and 2014 WC editions. As for the injury news: Xherdan Shaqiri misses out through injury.
Meanwhile, Portugal won their first major international cup at the summer tournament defeating hosts France by Eder extra time goal. Cristiano Ronaldo, who picked up an injury during the final Euro 2016 match will be exclusively missed in Portugal's FIFA World Cup 2018 qualifying fixture against Swiss National team. The Portugeese Boss Fernando Santos summoned the same squad that went to France and they will be coming to Basel with high confidence. Portugal will be without their main man and skipper Cristiano Ronaldo and starlet Renato Sanches, due to lack of fitness and injury respectively.

Android :: Lookup Corresponding Contact To A Phone Number?Jul 6, 2009
What I'm trying to do, is to get the corresponding contact to a phone number. It works perfect if the number is stored in the contacts in the following format: +<country code><area code><number> But not all numbers are stored this way. Most are without the country code or with "00" instead of "+". Do I have to parse the number by myself and set up a corresponding WHERE clause for the query, or is there anything I can't find in the internet to get this one done by the framework?View 4 Replies
