Media Against Trump
October 24, 2017, 12:55:38 PM
Despicable People

Just when you thought liberals had sunk as low as they could, they break out the shovel and start digging.
Nothing is sacred anymore. Nothing is off limits, and everything is political. This week showed us once again there is nothing Democrats won't exploit, no grave they won't dance on, if they think they can score political points. And there's nothing "journalists" won't spin, won't lie about, and no hypocrisy too great to prevent them from smearing their political opponents.
The sad deaths of four soldiers in an ambush in Niger normally would not be a political football, but these times are anything but normal.
In the past week, a media narrative developed about how President Trump hadn't spoken publicly about the deaths of the men at the hands of an ISIS affiliate group. This didn't happen by accident, it happened suddenly and from multiple media outlets and "journalists," as if it were coordinated.
"Why hasn't Trump said anything about this?" they asked.
Of course, the White House had spoken about it the day after it happened, but since it came from the president's spokeswoman and not him directly, this fact was ignored. Presidents don't speak about every death in battle and never have, but this one was manufactured to be different. It was going to be "Trump's Benghazi," or so the media hoped.
But there were no warnings ignored, like in Benghazi. There was no 13-hour delay in sending aid. There was no blaming of an Internet video to cover up the failure of the administration to act, and no one was sent to prison for a year to aid in the re-election of the president. The only similarity with Benghazi is the body count.
But liberals never let the facts get in the way of a good story, and since they control the media there is no reason to. Human decency used to be what held back their darker impulses, but they are no longer burdened by such constraints.
When clownish Florida Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (D), accused the president of callousness in his condolence call to the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, it was a new low for a party setting new lows at a record pace.
Calls from a president are not spontaneous. Staff calls and sets up a time convenient for both. So that Wilson was there was not a coincidence, it was planned. It was going to be a painful call to receive, as every condolence call is soon after losing a loved one. That the Johnson family was upset after it was not surprising; what was is how Wilson marched right to a receptive media to spin their grief into a political knife.
Wilson's actions were despicable, as was the media's adopting of her word as gospel and her tactics. Basic human decency was torched when the president's response was portrayed as "an attack on a Gold Star family" and not what it was - a refutation of a partisan attack by an activist Democrat and media.
President Trump never has been critical of Johnson's widow. He's been critical of Wilson and her fellow travelers in journalism. But you'd never know that if you watched CNN or MSNBC. They are lying to their audience because, well, that's what they do.
The only problem with the world is that the idiots are cocksure and intelligent are doubtful.

Media Suddenly In Love With 'Dubya' After He Attacks Trump
The president that mainstream journalists loved to hate for eight years is all of a sudden their favorite guy
by Margaret Menge
Updated 20 Oct 2017 at 8:56 PM
What happened to the president they once reviled?
Mainstream media journalists are all of a sudden anxious to give the words of former President George W. Bush a full airing, and to refer to them in the most complimentary way.
Bush, wrote The Washington Post, had offered a "blunt assessment" in his speech in New York on Thursday and "warned about threats to American democracy."
*snip video*
NBC News said that Bush had spoken with a "sharper edge," delivering a "clear condemnation of the current president without mentioning him by name."
But the millions of Americans who thumbed their noses at Establishment Republicans and the media, rejected Bush's brother Jeb absolutely, and voted for outsider Donald J. Trump for president last November, might have heard Bush's words differently.
Bush had started by saying democracies "face new and serious threats" but "seem to be losing confidence in their own calling and competence."
He went on to mourn an earlier era, the post-World War II era, when America, he said, benefited from the "advance of free markets" and the "strength of democratic alliances."
"Free nations are less likely to threaten and fight each other," he told the audience. "We know, deep down, that repression is not the wave of the future. We know that the desire for freedom is not confined to, or owned by, any culture; it is the inborn hope of our humanity."
He went on to say that America is not "immune" from trends that include "resurgent ethno-nationalism" and "anger about immigration."
But the most-played clips on television on Thursday night and Friday were of Bush saying: "Bigotry seems emboldened" and "We've seen nationalism distorted into nativism" and have "forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to America."
Another media favorite was this one: "Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication."
The former president, the most recent star player in a family with close ties to Saudi Arabia, the number-one sponsor of Sunni extremist terrorism in the world -- also jumped on the bandwagon on Russia, called the formerly communist country a "hostile power" that is trying to turn Americans against one another.
Republicans were not amused.
"Wish I had never campaigned for this president. Have lost all respect for him and the family," wrote one woman on Facebook on Friday, above a news article about Bush's speech.
"George W. Bush gave us a phony war, crashed the economy and covered up the Saudi role in 9/11 -- has no right to criticize," legendary politico Roger Stone tweeted on Friday morning.

Trump's A Big Mouth; Journalists Are Villains
PJ Media
By Andrew Klavan
October 21, 2017
As Trump-loving readers of this blog have frequently complained, I am not always a fan of Donald Trump's personal style. I don't like bullies and I prefer a president who thinks before he opens his mouth. I do, on the other hand, very much like many of the things Trump has accomplished: the great judicial nominations, the taming of the regulatory state, the restoration of the rule of law at the border, leaving the silly Paris accord, the annihilation of ISIS, the attempts to hurry the implosion of Obamacare by suspending utterly illegal payments to insurance companies, calling out the NFL on its lack of patriotism, and calling out the media on a leftward bias that now amounts to simple malfeasance and corruption. That's an awful lot of good stuff, and it surely makes up for the big mouthery.
Aside from a few stupid remarks that seemed to show a lack of respect for the First Amendment -- remarks that have so far not been followed up by any bad actions -- I can't think of one instance in which Trump has behaved in a way that endangers the norms of American governance. He hasn't misused the IRS like Barack Obama did, or corrupted the Justice Department like Obama did, or made illegal payouts to insurance companies like Obama did, or extended the power of regulatory agencies until they became a threat to constitutional democracy like Obama did, or lied to the people about health care or Benghazi like Obama did, or behaved so autocratically and unconstitutionally that he lost more cases before the Supreme Court than any other modern president like Obama did. In fact, Trump has been incredibly transparent with the public and has generally thrown legislative decisions to Congress -- where they belong.
The press, on the other hand, in their seething hatred of Trump and the people he represents, and in their likewise seething bitterness at the loss of the election, have transformed themselves into the mustache-twirling villains of American society. If they could see themselves as they are, they would be ashamed, but because they all agree with one another, they are invisible to themselves.
The only problem with the world is that the idiots are cocksure and intelligent are doubtful.

Lessons in Swamp Maneuvers: Trump -vs- Clinton -vs- Mueller -vs- Sessions -vs- Rosenstein -vs- Comey, etc.
Conservative TreeHouse
by sundance
Posted on October 27, 2017
The leak from a sealed grand jury indictment within the special counsel Robert Mueller investigation, writ large, has everyone a-twitter... Perhaps, a reminder is in order.
First lesson from the DC Swamp - Everything is about politics. It's not about the law; it's not about the judiciary; it's not about what's legal, or the illegality of behavior; only politics. These are not legal issues, the entities involved are not connected to legal or illegal application of laws as they relate to the rest of American society.
You cannot view the current action through the transactional prism of modern judicial proceedings as they relate to you and me. These are political cases, that use the venue of the legal system. They use the legal system to play out the optics and narrative of political battles for ideological wins and losses.
The closest reminder you might have familiarity with would be the case against George Zimmerman (never about the legal system); or the case against officer Darren Wilson; again it was never about the legal system. Those were political cases run through the matrix of the legal system. So too is this entire DC partisan dysfunctional investigative construct -surrounding all of the current DC cases- not about the application of law, it is about politics. Period.
The notification from the FBI through the DOJ to allow the unknown 2010 FBI witness to testify to congress about the Uranium One investigation has initiated a responsive action from Robert Mueller to save and use his political leverage. This is not about laws broken; this is about political leverage to be retained.
The gamesmanship currently being pitched through the media is about political leverage. That leverage in DC is traded like baseball cards amid the upper tier of those who float in an entirely divergent orbit from everyone else.
Repeat: this is not about law. It's about politics.
If Mueller waited any longer to construct his political cases against those he is investigating he would open himself up to scrutiny from within his attachment to the Uranium One deal.
If the mystery FBI witness testified to congress before Mueller announced an indictment it would look like Mueller was retaliating against that testimony. So Mueller plays the hand he's carrying.
Now, by going first, regardless of the testimony from the FBI witness, any negative outcome therein would look like retaliation against him for indictments announced prior to the testimony.
See how that works?
Remember, this is not about laws, lawfulness, or the judicial system. These participants operate above that system. They are in a political system above the law; they use the landscape of the judicial system to advance politics. Pause and repeat as needed.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is simply attempting to retain his leverage within the game. Going first allows him to keep and use that leverage. If Mueller had waited he would have lost that leverage.
The only problem with the world is that the idiots are cocksure and intelligent are doubtful.

Newspaper 'Accidentally' Publishes Picture Of Trump With Hitler Mustache
Mistakes happen, right? At least that's what one Ohio newspaper -- The Wapakoneta Daily News -- wants you to believe.
Readers of their Monday edition were greeted with a picture on its front page showing President Trump with a "Hitler mustached." Well, at least it looks that way to many people. Here's the photo:
That's no mistake, notwithstanding this lame excuse the newspaper published:
"The Wapakoneta Daily News regrets the image of President Donald Trump published on Page 1A of Monday's newspaper. While we edit photos on a daily basis, this particular photo was edited in a sloppy manner to make it appear the president had a mustache.The Wapakoneta Daily News would never intentionally insult our president in any manner. It was an unfortunate incident which we continue to investigate and we offer our apologies to our readers."

The Best Advice About Pads I've Ever Written
The Benefits Of Seat Pads On Health.
In this present day's many people spend a lot of time sitting in a single chair while working. People no longer walk short distance to get to their workplaces or get a ten minutes ride from their home to where they work. The high cost of living in towns have made people move too far places in search of affordable living. They also move from the urban area due to the problems of pollution and congestion. On daily basis those who work away from their residential areas travel to their workstation. They sit for long as they travel from sitting the whole day in their office seats.
Sting for long hours can lead to future health issues. Those who travel for many hours they should consider getting the seat pads. As soon as you begin the journey the body experiences some discomfort. The seat increases the temperature, and the body becomes more uncomfortable. For this reason it is therefore evident that the health of peoples back and upper body depends on the support structure of the chair you use. Any kind of pain is as a result of lack of proper support in the chairs we spend time on.
The manufactures who made the office chairs did not emphasize on the back support since the chairs are simple and cheap. There are expensive chairs that give proper support. The seat pads improve the support structure of an uncomfortable seat and give you an upright position. The seat pad aids in keeping the spine in the normal upright position. If you use the seat pad regularly you will feel a positive effect gradually. The seat pads suits every type of chairs and sitting circumstances.
The call center employees, the receptionist and those who work in offices are the most affected people in using the seat pad. You can put the seat pads on the car seats or the car seats. The seat pads are lightweight hence you can carry it from one place to the other since they are made using light material. People spend a lot of cash to get the body massage for relaxation. You can buy a seat pad massage chair that will help relax. This article will help you know the importance of the seat pads. This story give their explanation about the seat pads.
The massage seat pad comes in a variety of models at different costs. All you need to do is to position the massage seat pad where you experience pain. The second type of massage seat pad is the plug model. They provide a different setting warming though they are a bit complex. Parts like the neck and the shoulder muscle gets the full message since the seat pad moves on specific spots in the massage process. Massage seat pads have many benefits including the improvement of blood circulation into the body.

Since the dawn of time it seems humanity has always sought out things which tick all the boxes, the ultimate solution. Whether it's the ultimate partner who is a perfect 10 out of 10, or a car that's cheap and has all the luxury features of a BMW; that holy grail.
One of the biggest problems businesses and individuals face is actually what would be referred to as a first world problem; remembering the details to all those accounts you've signed up to. Every site has a different username and password structure, some will want you to use special characters. It's actually hard to remember them all! Most of the time you will get stuck and will have to click on the 'forgot your password' link. On top of this you will have 10 different accounts to pay for the 10 different sites you have signed up to.
This is a lose-lose situation, you're losing time and money! You'll need to remember hard about your account details each time you go to a different site, and you're more likely than not paying a lot more for 10 different software packages than you would be for one software package that does it all.
What if I told you there was a better way? A way so that you only had to remember one username and password!
The one password to rule them all.

Valued mentor and former Associate Dean Wharton passes at age 83
Keith Wharton, a former associate dean in the College of Agriculture from the 1970s well into the 1990s passed away suddenly on January 4 at the age of 83. In addition to serving as associate dean, he served multiple times as acting dean of the college and concluded his career as professor of rhetoric. Wharton also was a valuable mentor to many students and faculty interested in teaching, learning, leadership, and life in general. He was a quiet, thoughtful person who, as one colleague expressed, brought "a calm presence to the sometimes chaotic academic world." During his academic career he received many awards and in 1988 served as the chairman of Resident Instruction Commission of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grand College (RICOP). He grew up in the west Texas oil fields around Kermit, got his B.S. degree in 1956 at what is now the University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP), and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in educational measurement and research from the University of Northern Colorado. While at UTEP, he was an all-conference tackle who played on the football teams that won the 1954 and 1955 Sun Bowl games. As an undergraduate, he was voted into the Who's Who Among Students. Upon graduating from UTEP, he proudly served on active duty as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. Wharton is survived by his spouse Barbara, of 61 years, an adult son and daughter, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. A memorial service and reception will be planned for next spring to remember and honor Wharton for his contributions to college programs and as a great mentor and colleague. Condolences may be sent to Barbara Wharton at 7143 Arthur Dr., Woodbury, MN 55125.

Present (board): Carol Pass, Mary Gonsior, Chiffon Williams, Linda Leonard, Earl Simms
Not Present (board): Rosie Cruz, JoseLuis Villasenor, Jenny Bjorgo
Members: Brad Pass,
10:15 Introduction:
· Meet as a committee of the whole.
· Approval of Agenda – with addition of "Selecting Projects for Collaboration" – Passed.
· Approval of minutes from 12/1/12 board meeting - Passed
10:25 Announcements:
· EPIC Membership Meeting: Thursday, January 10th, 6:30 PM, the East Phillips Park Center,
· Park Board Public Hearing on the disposition of the former Waite House Property will be held on Jan. 16, 6:30 pm at MPRB HQ, 2117 W. River Rd. Minneapolis.
· Public hearing for 24-hour operation of Ultra Wash Laundry, Monday, Jan. 28, 1:30 pm City Hall Rm 317.
10:35 Selecting Projects for Collaboration
Last month the board discussed EPIC's Collaborative Funding Agreements. We still need to clarify what "need" means in Article #4. Suggestions:
· The organization provides the types of services that meet the needs of East Phillips residents, and
· The organization lacks the current capacity to expand their services and programming to include residents in East Phillips.
· The board and the organization is committed to a balanced approach to providing resources to the diverse residents of East Phillips.
10:40 Motion: Quorum achieved: Ratify the actions of the committee of the whole. (LL, ES) Passed.
10:45 Steve Struthers resignation
Motion: Accept Steve Struthers resignation. (MG, LL) Passed.
10:57 Swimming Pool Update and response to questions.
Brad and Carol spent two days at meetings working on the pool issues, and attended a Park meeting two weeks ago. By the end of December there was capital funding for the Base Option (page 2, Phillips Aquatics Center Pool Expansion; paid in large part by EPIC.)
This plan is a "business plan" which shows that this plan is sustainable over time. The document was just published, in large part through funding via EPIC. Brad gave an overview of the publication, page by page.
BASE OPTION: We currently have funds to do this option.$2.25M; Anticipated Net Income would be $41,266
OPTION 1: Knock out the wall and add 2 lanes to the main pool, expand the teaching pool, and more.Cost: $5.1M; Anticipated Net Income would be $92,200
OPTION 2: Knock out the wall and add 2 lanes to the main pool, add a deep water pool, expand the teaching pool and more. $7.5M; Anticipated Net Income would be $108,200
The anticipated net income is based on operating the pools as a business, and is a conservative estimate.
MOTION: Add EPIC's logo to the publication. (MG, LL) Passed.
MOTION: The EPIC board supports the pool concept plans and would highly recommend raising adequate money to go all the way to Option 2. EPIC requests that the Park Board extend the deadline for fundraising to facilitate raising funds to achieve Option 2. (LL, MG) Passed.
11:15 Ultra Wash Laundry Hours
CP would like to connect with residents at Corridor Flats to find out if they object.
11:20 Housing Brochure and plans to spread the word.
Brochure is not done – still waiting for contact information from Doug Wise. The layout has been approved.
First Come – First Served
How to make the process fair? Carol will obtain the application so it can be distributed when flyering. EPIC will schedule Q&A sessions in various languages. Carol will contact CEE and ask if they want to do the Q&A, or if they can equip us to do it ourselves. Develop a list of steps to ensure successful application.
1. Is there a processing fee for applicants that don't actually qualify?
2. How do you "get in line".
11:30 Greenway Heights Apartments – What do you want us to change?
Carol invited Dean Dovolis to provide some photos to give to the developer to inspire a more beautiful exterior to the building design.
11:40 Crime (Public Safety) Concerns: Impact Statements and Warrant Sheets, Do we want to invest in cameras?
The "warrant list" comes out monthly now, and the people on the list are "fleeing arrest." If you see any of these people, you are to call 911, tell police that you saw them and ask them to come pick them up.
Police are seeking community impact statements for Terrence Charles Brown, going to court on 1/14/13.Charge is aggravated robbery first degree, felony. Anyone can write these.
We need to find out if Ventura Village is going to invest in a crime camera for the Phillips neighborhood. They have tentatively set aside $15,000 for a camera. Hope Academy has put up $5,000. Should EPIC put up $15,000?
11:45 City Grievance Policy Issues and ADA compliance:
The city developed proposed changes to the CPP grievance policy that only addresses instances of grievance against neighbohoods, and says nothing about grievances against NCR, or downtown.
MOTION: EPIC insists that NCR and NCEC add to the proposed changes to the CPP grievance policy, wording that addresses grievances by contracted neighborhood organizations against NCR, NCR staff, and the NCEC Commission. (LL, CW) Passed.
EPIC has no problems with building/meeting accessibility; however, we do have problems with language barriers, which is why Linda has been researching simultaneous translation equipment.

The Park Board will make the final decision as to who will be chosen to purchase the building. Midtown recommended selling the building to Banyon. Proposals under consideration:
· Banyon presented a plan to purchase the building, and they have money set aside to demolish and rebuild, resulting in a $7M building.
· Heart of the Beast presented a plan to use the building "as is". They want to rent with the option to buy (with a large deposit) for 2 years while they raise funds to renovate the building.

As most of you know, I host a radio show on Sirius/XM 103 every Monday through Friday from 11-2 PST. Well I've had Erica Lauren on my shows many times. She's upbeat, fun, and sexy as hell. She may have cum later in life to porn than some, but let me tell you she has made quite a splash and wasted no time!
Erica is the real Girl Friend Experience and if you've seen her scenes, you know just what I mean! A MILF in the truest sense of the word. Check her out!
Well after so many times playing on the air, I decided I had to have her over to my house. I asked her and she quickly agreed. I knew it was going to be hot and fun, but I was in for a real treat!
I asked her to bring some of her personal things from home and boy did she cum through. It was one of the best nights ever! We got to play dress up, then we got to get naked. And then we just got to play…

Hey writers!
I'm hoping to write a summer spotlight column. If you've got a book for sale ANYWHERE accessible online, or if you've got a story up somewhere, let me know about it! Doesn't matter to me when it went up, just so long as it's a good read.
You can post here or click on the orange button on the right side of this page, the one that says "Let Us Know"
If you post here, please post the title, the way you'd like to be credited, a link, and how you picture someone reading your piece during the summer (on a beach, while sitting on a beach, while being murdered on a beach, whatever). And if the link you give me has a good image, all the better.
Have a great summer, and stay cool and nice.
I've published an eBook that contains most of my previously published work.
The stories and poems in this short collection describe passionate (and sometimes dark) reactions to the human experience.

pirate radio WCPR WFAT WHOT RFNY oldies top-40 rock and roll
So what was it that caused me to be such a willing participant in something like WHOT? Good question. The answer is complicated. I certainly didn't do it for any sort of "stick it to the man" reason - hell, I'm the farthest thing from a left-wing, neo-anarchist you are gonna find. I had no soapbox, no axe to grind. I'd become more and more aware of the restrictiveness and futility of the FCC's licensing policy, and while I deplored it, it wasn't what really drove me.
I guess it was my love of radio that brought me to it. During and after WHOT, I had many stints in "legit" radio, but nothing ever equaled the fun and freedom of The Hot One. I always felt that it really gave me the chance to do the thing I really wanted to do, and that was to truly entertain people. Time checks and playlists are all well and good, but I never felt that connection with the listeners that we had on WHOT anywhere else. Not even in college radio. So I guess the REAL question is, why wouldn't I do it?
It was mainly all these warm and fuzzy feelings that made me hate having to say goodbye to WHOT. It may have been six, seven months after WHOT's one-shot December farewell show that I first heard from Hank about the possibility of doing shows legally. We looked into buying time on WNYE (how convenient THAT would have been!), but the costs were simply ridiculous. It was then that we heard that 100,00-watt shortwave station WWCR in Nashville was leasing time at very reasonable rates. In fact, some of the old RNI crowd were already buying time from them, so we inquired about it.
We started scraping our nickels and dimes together and before you knew it, we were ready to debut a new venture - "Radio Free New York" to a worldwide shortwave audience! The show debuted October 27, 1990 and was covered by Manhattan Public Access show "Fusion Artists Presents". RFNY would air every Saturday night - with Hank, Jim and myself, plus Jay, Terry, Ivan and newcomers "Big" Steve Short, Will Power and John Parker. Even former WHOT listener "Al The Chemist" had a regular science segment!
Response to RFNY was immediate and eclectic. Feedback came in from across the spectrum...from old WFAT / WHOT listeners to shortwave DXers and soldiers stationed in Kuwait during the Gulf War. Never without a problem, we had to fight over the name "Radio Free New York" with a pair of goofballs that tried to rip it off...but what else was new. We received a ton of mail, positive feedback and reception reports, but the constant technical problems, minimal advertising and gradual increases in WWCR's rates made keeping the show on the air very difficult and after a little over a year, we pulled the plug.
Then in the Winter of 1995 into 1996, a bold, surprise move - WHOT-FM returned to the airwaves! Yet another new location and a new transmitter brought back Hank Hayes, Jim Nazium and Pete Sayek, but only for a few months with very sporadic shows. The FCC was still active in the New York City area, so it was eventually decided that putting WHOT back in mothballs was probably the safest thing to do.
1998 saw the return of Radio Free New York to the airwaves and the internet. Despite his well-documented "underground" excursions, former RNI architect Allan Weiner managed to start up WBCQ - a LEGAL shortwave station located in Maine. As we had done previously with WWCR, we pooled our resources and returned to the air on Saturday nights on WBCQ. In addition to the old crew, we had new additions like AJ Felder and Yukon Jack. The NEW Radio Free New York featured Live Music shows, remotes, specials on classic DJs, a Sports Talk show and tons of cool new stuff. The RFNY web site kept a show archive as well, so missed shows could be caught for later listening.
The new incarnation of Radio Free New York was another successful endeavor, and a lot of fun. But as had happened before, it was hard to stay financially afloat. Plus, our individual schedules made it hard to keep cranking shows out every Saturday night. After almost two years, RFNY once again went dark...but would it be temporary?

Ritalin is the brand name for the medication methylphenidate. Acting as a central nervous system stimulant, Ritalin was designed to interact with certain chemicals in the brain as well as various nerves that correlate to hyperactivity and impulse control.
It is often prescribed to individuals suffering from different attention disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is even listed as a medication to treat the sleep disorder narcolepsy.
But like cocaine, Ritalin is habit-forming, meaning it is addictive. Developing a physical and mental dependence on the drug is common among its users, and stopping can be difficult.
While Ritalin possesses real medical uses, it is very often abused because of its stimulant-like effects on the body. It can create feelings of euphoria like cocaine and other stimulants, while simultaneously increasing mental performance among many people, making it desirable for college students looking for an edge.
What Are the Ritalin Withdrawal Symptoms?
When people abuse Ritalin, they often take higher doses than prescribed. They may also resort to snorting the drug in order to obtain a more intense, quicker high. Over time, a habit develops and the individual may find themselves dependant on Ritalin.
Whenever stopping Ritalin, an addicted person will undergo various withdrawal symptoms as a result of the drug interfering with the brain's dopamine (feel-good chemical) production. By flooding the brain with dopamine, it depletes the natural stores of the chemical, and the brain relies on the drug to supplement the missing dopamine.
When you remove the drug, it takes some time for the brain to acclimate to normal dopamine levels and production once more. In the interim, you may experience Ritalin withdrawal symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Anxiety
- Agitation
- Hunger
- Depression
- Vivid dreams & nightmares
- Insomnia
- Inability to feel pleasure
- Cravings for Ritalin
These symptoms can be mild to severe depending on the duration of Ritalin abuse as well as the amounts of Ritalin taken. Users can often experience a crash after stopping the drug, which boasts more intense withdrawal symptoms.
What Are the Stages of the Ritalin Withdrawal Timeline?
Ritalin withdrawals can begin as soon as a few hours after the final dose is administered. The onset of withdrawal symptoms will begin, starting with feelings of agitation, anxiety, and depression. It is during this stage the cravings for the drug will be strongest in order to combat these symptoms.
The emotional and mental Ritalin withdrawal symptoms are harrowing. Much like its stimulant counterparts, the primary source of discomfort throughout the withdrawal process is centered on the mind. Anxiety and agitation are the most commonly cited mental Ritalin withdrawal symptoms. It is the feeling of "crawling out of your skin" that may entice addicts to return to using once more.
The restlessness of coming down off of a Ritalin high can be debilitating. Also known as a "crash", it is the physical and mental symptoms Ritalin users encounter as their high from the medication fades and they settle back into normalcy.
As the brain fights to regain internal balance and regulate itself once more, thoughts and feelings are often racing and can lead to insomnia.
You will experience the most discomfort. Intense fatigue, nausea, agitation, and even uncontrollable shaking may be present. Throughout the first few days, these symptoms will begin to lessen and eventually the worst physical symptoms will fade.
Ritalin withdrawals, as the physical symptoms die down, intense cravings and lingering insomnia may be experienced. Since Ritalin is a stimulant, it directly impacts the sleep schedule of its users. It may take several days to a week to regain some sort of normalcy when it comes to sleeping patterns. During this time, psychological symptoms will peak such as depression and anxiety as the brain attempts to level itself out.
Ritalin withdrawals, the user may still experience difficulties sleeping and continued anxiety and depression. The cravings for the drug will return in waves throughout this time.
Withdrawals maintains difficulties with sleeping and cravings for Ritalin. Fleeting feelings of nervousness and depression may also still be present.
The withdrawal process from Ritalin may continue up to several months after stopping the drug, with the severity of symptoms decreasing over time. Mood swings, insomnia, and cravings are common occurrences throughout the following months, which vary in severity based on how long you used the drug and how much. If you took Ritalin more often at higher doses, expect to experience a longer withdrawal process than that of a person who used less for a shorter period of time.

Why Should I Detox?
While Ritalin withdrawals are not necessarily life threatening, they do produce a high level of discomfort for many people addicted to the drug. Stopping cold turkey will create an almost immediate onset of withdrawal symptoms that may be too intense for you, leading you back to using Ritalin.
The severe depression experienced as a result of stopping Ritalin can be dangerous, as well. Users in full blown Ritalin withdrawals experience severe mood swings and mental instability due to the chemical imbalance their addiction has caused. As the brain attempts to regulate itself once more, these racing thoughts and vast shifts in mood can cause various psychological issues. Suicidal ideations are often encountered during the Ritalin withdrawal process, and having psychological support is crucial during this time.
What is the Next Treatment Step?
If you are ready to stop taking Ritalin, it's important to undergo the full continuum of treatment for a better chance at success in recovery. The first step is to enter a medical detox facility. Staffed by a full medical team as well as psychological support staff, you'll be assessed upon arrival and provided various withdrawal medications that will ease the symptoms you'll encounter during detox.
While at detox, your physical well-being will be monitored 24/7 as round the clock medical support staff will ensure your comfort and safety during the detox process.
You'll also have access to counselors and case managers who can help you take the first steps in the therapy aspect of treatment, providing emotional support during the difficult time in detox.
Following a successful detox, you'll head off to a residential treatment facility. Here, you'll stay an average of 30 to 45 days (sometimes shorter, sometimes longer) which varies on a case-by-case basis. With the withdrawal process behind you, you can more intently focus on the therapy aspect of treatment.
You'll encounter full-time intensive therapy using a variety of proven methods designed to help treat the underlying causes of your addiction. Addressing these issues can help you better understand why you struggle with addiction as well as understanding the disease of addiction as a whole.
After completing residential, it is recommended you follow up your treatment with attending an IOP (intensive outpatient) program. Here, you'll do part-time therapy, usually in a group setting, that will help act as a buffer for you as you return to the hustle and bustle of normal life. Acclimating to life in recovery can be challenging, and by undergoing IOP, you can be provided addiction support during the difficult transition time, as well as be kept accountable to your sobriety by being subjected to drug testing in the program.
By completing the full-continuum of addiction treatment, your likelihood of success in sobriety and maintaining long-term recovery is far more likely. Each step prepares you for the next phase in your addiction treatment and life and can help provide a solid foundation for you to build a happy, healthy life in recovery upon.

It can embody a woman's biggest nightmare. They arrive only do not wish to leave. We're discussing yeast infections. They may occur anywhere, but generally in the genital area. If they plague you, here are a few remedies that you might like to try.
Natural remedies are among the finest ways to heal a condition without all of the possible side effects. Modern medication is terrific but occasionally the remedy is worse than the disease. Home-made remedies utilize day-to-day items that can get the task done just as easily if not better, and they will not cost you a lot of money.
Now back to yeast infections. These are largely encountered in the vaginal area. The infection in question is caused by "candida albicans." Bacteria and fungus like to have damp, dark spaces to hide and grow. When the pH of the vaginal region is off balance, this can favor an environment for bacterium to grow and multiply. That translates into additional problems.
Until the balance of vaginal flora is brought back to normal, the infection will likely become worse.
Recognizing a Yeast Infection
How do you recognize if you even suffer from one? A yeast infection occurs in the vaginal area but it's not a venereal disease.
Characteristics of a yeast infection include:
- Itchiness in the vaginal area
- Rancid odor
- Discharge (looks like cottage cheese)
- Painful sexual intercourse
- Painful urination
There are other vaginal infections that can mimic the symptoms of a yeast infection. So if this is your first vaginal infection or if it accompanied by a foul odor, you should see your doctor for a diagnosis.
Preventing Yeast Infections
As we stated earlier, bacterium require moisture to develop and reproduce. In our day-to-day life, occasionally we do things that may contribute to and make us more at hazard for yeast infections. Here are a couple of tips to bring down your risk.
- Wear cotton undergarments – Nylon does not breathe as well and may trap moisture. Cotton allows for the genital region to breathe.
- Avoid sitting around with soaked clothing – This particularly goes for wearing swimsuits around all day after swimming. Eventually you'll dry but likely not without irritating the vaginal area.
- Stop douching – The vagina contains natural bacteria that aren't harmful because they uphold a neutral pH. Douching represses the helpful bacterium and may dry out the region, contributing to yeast infections.
Natural Remedies for Yeast Infections
- Consume yogurt – This is instrumental if your doctor places you on antibiotic drug's. The antibiotics can exterminate the good bacterium, leaving the others to flourish. All yogurts contain live cultures to restore balance to the natural flora in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Take acidophilus – This is a probiotic that functions the same way as yogurt. It may be consumed in pill form or just as an addition in yogurt. For faster relief, use natural unflavored yogurt as a cream on the affected region to repress itchiness.
- Tea tree oil – This is a substance encountered in nature that has antibiotic and antiseptic attributes. It may be utilized to repress infection and quicken mending when placed on cuts and abrasions. As a suppository, it may help to reestablish the balance and defeat the infection of the vaginal region.
- Garlic has been found to be very effective at curing a yeast infection. Take a whole clove of garlic and wrap it in a piece of gauze or cheesecloth. Attach a string securely to the clove of garlic. This will be like a tampon string that you use to remove it. Now, coat the wrapped clove of garlic in olive oil to make insertion easier. Insert the garlic into your vagina and leave it in overnight. This is a very effective method for curing a yeast infection.
- Grape seed extract douches have been effective in curing a yeast infection. You can find grape seed extract at your local health food store. Just mix twenty drops of the extract with eight ounces of water.
- Drinking a glass of buttermilk every night will help to cure a yeast infection. It can also prevent a yeast infection from occurring. This is due to the live cultures found in buttermilk that will help keep the bacteria levels in your system in check.
Yeast infections aren't pleasurable. The itchiness and burning can be intolerable. Utilize the above tips and suggestions to keep infections cornered or to heal one that's already started.

Dried beans are economical to purchase and convenient to store. They have a long shelf life when placed in an air-tight container and stored in a cool, dry place. Beans are a high-fiber, heart-healthy food that can be used in a variety of ways, such as casseroles, salads, soups and as a substitute for meat in a main dish. Preparing and cooking dried beans can take several hours. One helpful hint is to soak the beans in water the night before you want to use them. In the morning, drain the beans and refrigerate them until it's time to prepare your meal.
Pick through the beans carefully and throw out any improperly formed or discolored beans or any foreign matter. Place the good beans in a large bowl and cover with water. Swish the beans through the water with your hand to wash them. Drain and repeat until the water is clean.
Cover the beans with about two inches of cold water. Soak them for four to eight hours. Larger beans require a longer soaking period.
Drain the soaking water and transfer the beans to a heavy cooking pot.
Cover with water and bring the water to a steady simmer -- not a boil. Put a lid on the pot and simmer for about two hours or until the beans are tender.
To determine if the beans have soaked long enough, slice a bean in half and inspect the center. If it's opaque, continue soaking. Add a pinch of baking soda to your cooking pot if you have hard water. Beans are more tender when prepared in soft water. Wait until the beans are cooked to add salt or other acidic seasonings. Adding salt at the beginning of the cooking process may toughen the beans and prolong the cooking time. For a quick soak, place washed beans in the cooking pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and maintain the boil for three minutes. Turn off the heat, place a lid on the pot and let the beans rest for one to two hours; then cook normally. Each cup of dry beans yields about two cups of cooked beans. Refrigerate leftover beans and liquid for up to five days.

Increasing your customers' satisfaction is by far one of the crucial goals which lead both to a greater loyalty degree and, consequently, to more direct bookings. However, customer loyalty is not easy to reach since there are several factors that mainly entail your ability to meet their basic needs. It is though necessary to understand what their needs and interests are, in order to best satisfy them.
Speaking of which, the Hierarchy of Needs theorized by the American sociologist Maslow could be useful to understand the reason staying beyond any attitude of the human being. What you need to do is simply applying Maslow's theory to identify the behaviour of your guests in terms of basic expectations or even to foresee how they will react when those expectations won't be fulfilled.
In fact, the American sociologist divided the human behaviour into five main needs, which go from the most basic ones (physiological needs such as eating, drinking, sleeping, etc.) to the most complex ones (i.e. the need of self esteem and personal realisation). Likewise, you ought to divide your guests according to their motivation, by analysing both the positive and negative reviews they post online.
Once you have identified the fundamental needs, starting from the basic ones to the most complex ones, you should understand which ones need to be improved in order to increase the customer loyalty and, at the same time, to enhance your brand image and brand reputation.
Here you will find some tips that will help you in your analysis of the needs, starting from the lowest level of Maslow's pyramid.
1 Physiological need
At the lowest level of the Pyramid there are the primary or physiological needs: it is about those needs we cannot live without, such as food, air, water, sleep. Some of the questions you ought to ask yourself are the following:
- Have my guest slept well?
- Are beds and sheets comfortable?
- Are bed sheets clean?
- Is there too much noise?
- Are the rooms and the hall bright enough? Do they smell good?
- What is the water flowing from the toilet's tap like? Is it clear and clean?
- Is breakfast/lunch satisfying in terms of quality and quantity of food?
Remember not to underestimate the importance of satisfying the need of this level since they usually are the main reason of a guest complaining, leading he/she to post a negative review. If something is not working properly (i.e. the hall or the rooms have a foul odour due to a whatsoever problem), make sure you are going to fix it as soon as possible!
2 Safety needs
The second level of the Pyramid is represented by the health and safety needs. The questions that needed to be asked are:
- How much safe is my hotel?
- Is my district famous for being dangerous?
- Is there a night concierge?
- Do the rooms dispose of a safe?
- Are there any particular safety dangers people should be warned about?
- Is food prepared in a healthy way?
- Do the chefs use products which are potentially harmful for allergic people?
- Are the gardens and common spaces safe also for children and the disabled?
- Are the staff trained in case of an accident?
Safety is a real crucial issue: when you are not feeling safe, you will hardly feel good, wherever you are. In order to avoid this sort of problem, you must check your safety measures in the most accurate way.
3 Belonging needs
Going up toward the top of the Pyramid, you will find the most complex social belongings needs. At this level, you do not have to worry about necessary needs. Instead, you should pay attention to those needs that represent a real added value for your property.
In particular, when it comes to the sense of belonging, we talk about the friendliness and the cordiality the hotel is able to express towards its customers. It is evident that the way in which the staff politely welcome the customers plays a core role.
In this case, some of the questions you ought to ask yourself are:
- What is the atmosphere inside and outside my hotel like? Is this friendly or unpleasant?
- Does the lighting provide a cozy and relaxing atmosphere?
- Do the staff make people feel at ease or they do not?
- Which is the standard procedure to be followed when an error occur?
- Is there any specific event or service to enhance the general guest experience?
In case you do not feel prepared enough according to one or more above-mentioned points, you should take action as soon as possible due to the fact that, provided that you are the best in satisfying the primary needs, you will hardly achieve to get 100% positive reviews from your guests.
4 Esteem needs
Before keeping on reading, be aware that the fourth and the fifth levels of the Pyramid are the most difficult to satisfy. On the other hand, they represent, if they are satisfied, the major reason for customers to stay again at your hotel. Instead of just satisfying the need of belonging of a guest, esteem mainly refers to the way your customers feel.
Here again the questions:
- How do my customers feel ?
- Do they feel to be understood and satisfied rather than being abandoned?
- Are individual complaints quickly and accurately managed?
- What is the reputation of my hotel?
- Are guests happy of staying at my hotel?
- Are there any benefits to reward loyal guests?
- Is there any special attention to VIP guests?
As you might have realised, the brand reputation of your hotel starts to play a crucial role.
5 Self-realization needs
This is the level of the Pyramid any hotelier should try to satisfy in order to maximize the level of satisfaction and loyalty: self-realization has to do with our personal objectives, that is to say who we actually are.
In order to let your customers be fully satisfied, you must focus on offering an experience which best meets the expectations and need of your customers.
It's not only about that. At an unconscious level, any guest wants to be surprised: self-realization deals with appeal, love, endless happiness, harmony sense and the unique touch only your hotel is able to offer.
The human being is a curious creature and their demand for experience and knowledge knows no limits. Giving your customers something special and unique will certainly pay you back in terms of satisfaction and loyalty. Just bear in mind that, in order to make this happen, it is necessary to fully satisfy all the previous four levels!

Don't. Not a fan...but I love amazing lampshades.
- October 12, 2010 at 12:19 PM
Mm..I agree..looks really vintage and romantic...I think it's more as decor than for actually use..cause the light might be too bright! ;)

- Krystal said...
I like how it looks but I think it would be too bright for me and then a lamp shade would end up on it anyway =)

I've never really thought about it, but I guess I'm a shade girl. It looks a little naked. :)

A dont for me!

I like it, it does look cool but I'd probably top it with a very sheer shade.

I love how it looks in the picture! (But I guess it's not great if you need it as a reading light - right in your eyes might be a bit uncomfy :))

I think it is a definite do, in the right space and with the right decor. If ones house is very traditional it would look odd, but on the desk of an artist it would look great! I think it also helps if the lamp is a bit vintage in style, somehow a brand new shiny lamp without a lampshade strikes me as odd.

No No No do not put a shade on it. A shade will just cover all its immediate appeal. With a shade it is just another lamp.
- October 12, 2010 at 4:07 PM
- OneCraftyFox said...
I suppose it depends on the space. For me, I would say a *don't* just because I would want a shade to dim the glare of it.
- October 12, 2010 at 4:53 PM
- Nikosmommy said...
I'm gonna go with no. Something about it just seems empty.
- October 12, 2010 at 5:57 PM
I think it depends on the space. I say if you like it, go for it!! xo

This is so pretty -- I love the base! I think if you find a shade you love, you should definitely get it, but don't feel pressure -- it's very cool this way.

no thanks, i like the shade. If you kept the lamp off then the shape is nice but otherwise your little eyes will be bothered.

i like the way it looks, but i like a lamp on in my bedroom and would feel the sting in my eye when i had to look over at it. oy

I like the idea of it and it's creative and unique but I wonder if it would be functional--you know would it hurt the eyes? I guess you could give it a try for a bit and see how you like it.

It's a beautiful lamp. I love the body but I vote no for the sans lampshade.

It looks kind of cool but the bulb on might be a bit much...I've tried before and was temporarily blinded.
- October 13, 2010 at 1:17 PM
- Alyssa said...
I love the look, especially because that bulb is very cool. But I do think it'd still end up with some sort of shade in my house. It'd be too bright otherwise. Maybe a shade out of a sheer fabric would be the best of both worlds?
- October 13, 2010 at 2:25 PM

Well the old PS3 is now all boxed back up and on trademe.
I had a Logitech Harmony adaptor for this too, which I'll offer here, rather than in the trademe bundle.
It's sill got the clear tape over it, so is in excellent condition.
I feel I may have an original box for this somewhere also, may...
Is there any interest in this?

"If we go there we'll die."
Christopher Nolan is a filmmaker who excels at long, tense set-pieces. There's the chaotic truck chase from The Dark Knight; the revolving hallway fight from Inception; the opening plane crash from The Dark Knight Returns; the docking sequence from Interstellar. Now, with Dunkirk, Nolan has crafted what amounts to a feature-length version of one of these scenes — a pulse-quickening, unrelenting 107 minute experience that grabs hold and refuses to let go until the credits roll.
Set during the World War II Dunkirk evacuation, where Allied soldiers waited to be evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk, France as enemy planes dive-bombed them, Dunkirk follows three distinct narratives: one on the land, taking place over a period of a week; one on the sea, taking place over the period of one day; and one in the air, taking place over a period of one hour.
On the land, young British soldier Tommy (Fionn Whitehead) desperately wants to get home, going so far as to pose as a medic evacuating an injured man in order to hitch a ride on a hospital ship. Yet at every turn, something stalls Tommy's journey, usually in the form of terrifying dive-bombings or torpedo strikes. Along the way he befriends the silent private Gibson (Aneurin Barnard) and the more outgoing Alex (Harry Styles), and the three proceed to end up in one life-threatening situation after another.
On the sea, Mr. Dawson (Mark Rylance) has been enlisted by the army to use his personal boat to help evacuate Dunkirk, and so he sails off with his son Peter (Tom Glynn-Carney) and mate George (Barry Keoghan) in tow. As they get closer to Dunkirk they pick up a shipwrecked solider (Cillian Murphy) suffering from shell-shock who wants nothing more than to get away from Dunkirk.
In the air, two Royal Air Force pilots (Jack Lowden and Tom Hardy) navigate above the sea, engaging in dogfights with enemy planes and dealing with faulty instruments.
Little by little, Nolan slowly knits these storylines together, sometimes working backwards after arriving at one point to show us how certain characters ended up there. It's an ingenious narrative construction, because at first the audience doesn't realize that these events may be taking place at different points in time. This narrative flourish aside, Dunkirk may be Nolan's most straightforward film, completely self-contained and free of the extraneous fat that sometimes bogs down his other films.
That's not to say Dunkirk isn't ambitious. Indeed, the film is filled with stunning, meticulously constructed moments, each more tense than the last. A ship sinking after a torpedo strike is one of the most heart-quickening things Nolan has ever captured on film, and a moment late in the film where a British Commander played by Kenneth Branagh looks up at the sky after he hears the sounds of a dive-bombing enemy plane will have the hairs on the back of your arms standing up. This imagery is perfectly accented by a masterful sound design and and even more masterful score courtesy of Han Zimmer, complete with a ticking clock motif to make you extra anxious.
Yet as remarkable as the sound design of the film is, it also suffers from some poorly mixed dialogue. A large chunk of what the characters are saying is at times almost inaudible, coming across as little more than mumble. Perhaps this is intentional, because there is very little dialogue in the film to speak of. Nolan instead relies on long stretches of wordlessness as the characters scramble to and fro while the landscape explodes around them.
The cast handles their strenuous duties well. Whitehead is a likable lead and Styles exhibits charisma that comes through even beneath a bunch of muck and grime, and Hardy is his usual strong, silent self, getting some of the film's best moments while doing little more than furrowing his brow and flipping a few buttons on his dashboard. But the true standout is Rylance, who exudes stoic compassion. One gets the sense that an entire movie could be told about this character alone, such is the commanding power of Rylance's performance.
At under two hours, this is one of Nolan's shortest movies to date, and the brisk run time seems to have freed him a little. No longer working with his typical hyper-complex narrative, the filmmaker is able to let Dunkirk breathe, and it breathes beautifully. Here is a filmmaker at the top of his game, exhibiting magnificent moments of tension and action while also letting in rousing emotional moments here and there. This may very well be Christopher Nolan's best movie, and it's certainly one of the best movies of the year.

Mumbai University Cut Offs Contradicts Expectations
FYJC Admission 2017:- Mumbai University Cut Offs Contradicts Expectations for First Year Junior College (FYJC) admission in Mumbai University was released on Wednesday. The first lists revealed that the cut-offs remained above 90 per cent for sought-after colleges contradicting the fact that many people including college principals had expected it to drop. In the list of the first round of admissions, it is expected that the cut-offs for the second round of admissions will remain high, according to an Indian Express report. Cut-offs have dropped merely by a percentage or 2 in some colleges in Mumbai. In KC College the cut-off for Bachelor in Accounting and Finance (BAF) has dropped from 94 to 92 per cent.
KC College Principal Hemlata Bagla, while talking about this year's cut-offs said, "The competition has not allowed the cut-offs to drop. There has only been a marginal change." Bagla further added, "these multiple applications would be filtered out in the initial few rounds after the top scorers confirmed their admissions….Once the toppers have secured admissions, the cut-offs will drop. Other applicants should not be worried as there are enough seats available in the city," as quoted in the report.

According to Principals of various colleges, the high scores of the students in their board examinations is the reason behind the hike in the cut-offs. NM College Principal, Parag Ajgaonkar said, "Multiple students scoring within the same high range of percentage apply to the same colleges, pulling the cut-offs up." The cut-off for Bachelor in Accounting and Finance (BAF) at HR College, Churchgate was 94.46 per cent and at NM College, Vile Parle was at 95.2 per cent.
About the University:- The University of Mumbai (known earlier as University of Bombay) is one of the oldest and premier Universities in India. It was established in 1857 consequent upon "Wood's Education Dispatch", and it is one amongst the first three Universities in India. As a sequel to the change in the name of the city from Bombay to Mumbai, the name of the University has been changed from "University of Bombay" to "University of Mumbai", vide notification issued by the Government of Maharashtra and published in the Government Gazette dated 4th September, 1996. The University was accorded 5 star status in 2001 & 'A' grade status in April 2012 by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). It has been granted University with Potential for Excellence (UPE) status by UGC and PURSE Scheme by DST.

The film will feature previously unseen footage and newly conducted interviews
The Grateful Dead are set to release a documentary film to mark their 50th anniversary.
The project is expected to commemorate their milestone next year, with famed director Martin Scorsese on board to executively produce the picture.
The career-spanning documentary will be directed by Amir Bar-Lev, who has worked on other documentaries like 'The Tillman Story' and 'My Kid Could Paint That'. The film will feature previously unseen footage and newly conducted interviews with the band's surviving members.
"We are humbled to be collaborating with Martin Scorsese. From The Last Waltz to George Harrison: Living In The Material World from Bob Dylan to The Rolling Stones, he has made some of the greatest music documentaries ever with some of our favorite artists and we are honored to have him involved. The 50th will be another monumental milestone to celebrate with our fans and we cannot wait to share this film with them," the band said in a statement.
"Millions of stories have been told about the Grateful Dead over the years. With our 50th Anniversary coming up, we thought it might just be time to tell one ourselves and Amir [Bar-Lev] is the perfect guy to help us do it".
Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia died of a heart attack in 1995 during his stay at a drug rehabilitation facility in California. The remainder of the band have not performed live under the name since, instead touring as 'The Dead' or 'The Other Ones'.

From an underground style to a popular one, indie music has come a long way ever since its beginning, in the 1980s. Although the genre is complicated to describe, it has become increasingly popular in the past decade thanks to various illustrious English bands such as Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, and Scottish Franz Ferdinand.
Want to know more about this type of music? Keep on reading below and find some interesting and funny facts about indie music.
Name and history
As we've previously stated, indie music didn't exist until the 1980s. Similar to various other genres, indie music appeared as a total contradiction to the mainstream music, artists, and bands of the decade. If hip-hop, metal, and rap were highly popular back then, indie came like a breath of fresh air for those who wanted to focus more on the music and not on the lyrics.
Described as a DIY (Do It Yourself) style, the term indie stands for "independent." In other words, it became an invitation for new bands and artists to experiment with new sounds and musical instruments in order to create something original and fresh.
Most indie artists see themselves as spontaneous and are eager to complete all the stages, from writing their own lyrics and songs to producing their music, promoting, and even releasing their work.
Sound origins and most popular bands and artists
Although it is hard to describe a band's sound as falling 100% into a single category, various music groups distinguish themselves from the crowd and can be considered as indie.
Originated from the alternative genre, indie is similar to punk rock, Britpop, grunge, and even gothic rock. Apart from the famous examples mentioned above, there are other popular bands whose sound falls into the indie category, including R.E.M, The Cure, Placebo, Kings of Leon, Imagine Dragons, and the new Icelandic sensation, Kaleo.
Financial support and recognition
Most like all other underground genres, indie is rarely supported by music agencies, which makes it even harder for musicians and bands to make a name for themselves. On the other hand, the genre became increasingly popular in bars and pubs, helping groups to make contact with the crowds and express their feelings in a more intimate environment.
Most of these musical products are launched by word-of-mouth, on university radios or through online means, turning indie music into a popular genre, highly appreciated by youngsters.
Although once underground and listened by a handful of people, indie has increased in popularity in the past few years, also thanks to the development of an entire "festival culture," with hundreds of music festivals around the world for everyone and everything.

An Expat Student Guide to French Visas
UNESCO statistics revealed that France has the third highest population of international students in the world, with 271,339 calling the country home for academic purposes. Universities in France are incredibly modern and students can benefit from being surrounded by people from all areas of the world whilst being enveloped in the unique French culture.
How to apply for a French student visaCampusFrance is the French national agency for higher education and international students. Some countries will require international students to apply for study and their visa through this portal and this information can be obtained from the CampusFrance website. Alternatively, students will be required to apply for their desired course via the university website and then get a Visa from the French embassy or consulate in their home country.
Students that are NOT from the EU, EEA or SwitzerlandAnybody who wants to study in France but is not from Switzerland or a country in the EU or EEA will need to apply for one of the French student visas below:
Short-stay student visa (visa de court sejour pour etudes)This visa is mostly applicable to students registering on language courses or any short-term courses as it only spans three months. It is completely free and non-renewable.
Entrance exam visa (etudient concours)Students who need to undertake entrance exams to secure a place at their chosen place of study will need this visa. Upon passing the exams students can apply directly to their local French authority (prefecture) for a one year renewable residence permit.
Temporary long-stay visa (visa de long sejour temporaire pour etudes)Students with this non-renewable visa can study in France between three and six months without the need for a residence permit.
Long-stay visa (visa de long sejour etudes)If a student is applying for a course that is over six months then a long-stay visa is the answer. This student visa, which also doubles as a residence permit, last for the duration of a course in the country. They are also known as VLT-TS.
Students that ARE from the EU, EEA or SwitzerlandStudents from any countries in the EU and EEA, or those who live in Switzerland, will only need a valid passport to study in France once securing a place on a course. Your college or university will provide any further details.
