And so also like aren't all around the road and get to you know milk or whatever the harshest or beer or something so I'll get in the car in May be her phone rings while she's in the house. Aren't so applied to the call but it still comes to the car and even if I'm listening on the radio thank. I am tired and levered as the day has started a conversation and you know like I'll slowly back out of the by the time I get I don't know maybe twenty feet away from my house thirty feet away from my house. This technology goes away there have also pulled it. The same situation you know I'm like I don't wanna be here in this rhetoric is a private conversation I don't even care. But the same way down that that's a Bluetooth does when you get close to the the phone itself. If the car you hear the conversation here they are causation it was noted I mean you eat wherever the conversation is when you pull in that Bluetooth will. Projected through the speakers of the car is if she was in the car and not upstairs so wasn't like.

Which is sixty your wife for some reason and it's any kind of miles south Nero like human hanging out in my houses chizik no of course not and then when you grow over there. Her Wi-Fi connects on her. It. Think we all know oh look I have run the business. Why yeah. This is technology jaded all right this is completely technology dated but it but it happened at the time. And I wanna say this is probably in the late nineties. And I I I knew this couple I did not know them real well but I knew them I do we have associated at a party or something and they were kind of friends of friends but anyway. So the guy. He is. He got his wife pregnant. And they have a little baby and there in a town home and so they have the baby mothers like everybody else you know I mean you gonna have little walkie talkie affairs announced that. Well he is actually having an affair with a next door neighbor. Then they go they go walk the dog together quite on the go walk the dog and go into the woods is there watchdogs and that's that's all good dog they've been doing right for the underdog routed to a boil it yet but so. I guess did the wounded if something happened here and I and I can't remember what was I believe. That she called him. And she called him on her home phone in her home phone at the time was a home phone wasn't assault lamb I'm it was a cordless telephone. And so it worked for whatever reason on the same frequency as this baby monitor next door. So when she called bad guys husband. His wife could hear the entire conversation on one side only not her husband's side but Bogut on one side only. Through the hand held that she was using but she used his name twice. And she was asking about walking the dogs and specifically all these things when they're gonna get together out tonight so in the meantime as this new mom is breastfeeding your kid or whatever in the nursery she hears all the still going up. You know marriage. It states the tail goes back quick and that they knew his chest like over the baby my baby monitor and a land line. Cordless phone. Those with a things are combined to ruin that. And it's the next door neighbor it was the next door OK now I know look man. Along that they won't let his robes man but it but of course we at the time whenever I found out who was the most because like I can have figured that. It is here he is getting determine now actually yes I mean this would not shock you mean there's people that would definitely shock you if you found something like that out short and I enjoy it yeah this was not a surprise but it was still be.

That would be awkward that's the problem he better to have a good selling market him every night walking the dogs anywhere right even if he got back together with his wife yeah I mean every time and he took the dog all I believe actually that she forgave him.

Knowledge and notice should be any like immediately shuts off this computer. Ed pulled a bit but this out people are going. It's not very good and the computer try to jerk off on and off. Everything looked up the virus or stroke that I liked and didn't get got a corn buyers. Rap rap. I just like it did when George I I don't know what they did drug distributor. And had to write out the door right now in the morning did you arrest in the day. I mean he can't do that already like getting up early in the state care business before you toward grand total war guy and yeah and now I die at a I told him Mandela's those balls were good morning and that morning Joseph the general area that we had where you could whether computers that the guys in the air can use that was the same one of those belly for a couple stations. Worked beside a gospel station I haven't 600 Harvey got a and I get there in a morning. And the overnight guy I knew use use my computer you know I like it because I could tell like the way. Just the way the chair was turned a joy of and I knew he was doing there because he was the guy who locket with a stack porn. So I walk in there one day and my and my my computer just frozen in and nothing's nothing's happening and mean and in my car what's the deal so. I turn on the monitor off a modern life. Nothing's happening is not showing anything and finally went up pops up. I see like. In this point in time. I know you guys remember this time where if you opened up one window that had a pop up 800088000. Things are gonna pop a designers are now based on stadium under a little and we we made it through the phils element I think it's exactly exactly those one theme that they kept coming up. And it was everything from big black bitches got stuff yet it was just bugs and and buts and buts in slots and it was all but shots you know you could did you say anything like hey man well the thing was was that he fried that computer so that was part of the problem was was of the computer got fried. So obviously this is my desk. When the IT people come back to mean they say hey he's he was on this and I said OK all right look man the did you think I'm up all in the eat it's time stamp on this thing frozen. Yeah I mean like the computer is frozen nothing is working it's like 120 like it's frozen in time you know Mike. I do think houses near one toilet in them in the united regularly did slide must act dom and I whoa yes exactly and so they they they had a talking to this guy and then it wasn't too long after that. That in another coworker caught him masturbating on the over par that was the end of that so yeah I got all dials violent ones but if you due to infractions apparently you around the gospels days. There we had a guy Nate member make dad of course all he's it's already but they've also mum porn. And this other don't overnight and is in a wax on the terror and all my and so the way they may. Got a sub masturbating overnight could be able to serve studio and his response already. I don't imagine you give it every day with a black bag you like old war. What happened on technology it's a 134 Ford 9990 LaMarr your calls coming up you are listening to the men's or radio networks. Which is you. And there's still a drug charge Kelly Iraq gas oil since then. It's in songs that are surprisingly not about sex whether that is. On the title of the song written or lyrics within the song these songs although they sound like they might be or could potentially be about sex. Are in fact not end in no way shape or form will they ever meant to be about sex but if you listen closely to the lyrics you might. Here's something that would make you believe that there is sex involved and I would just say this and our rank castle is very hip to this as well. But if you're a fan of football and you enjoy watching the broadcast. You'll find oftentimes. The announcers will say sexual things. Aren't all about that they aren't necessarily sexual. The terms being used during the football games themselves. They could be construed as sexual if you do not understand the context of how they were saying these terms yeah. So it's kind of like that but in musical form today. So look the way you talk about athletes. Go to violence is that like a guy walking on the street doesn't he has such a physical specimen before. Course he doesn't go to me and showed he's got to six I greatly Hart around end really outside of sports committees every medium term this probably would not sack master what happened when technology. Did someone journey that this copper trick up its act as that man he's a sack king don't error and is does that mean there's only a four inches to go you can make it. If you don't sack master didn't panic at this stuff they did. Want to know what happened what technology did someone dirty that's our question a 44999. Lola three sacks a one day get exactly. I told born after this active. I'm hello and sells the welcome to the men drew. I. So all. I didn't have a bad sorry about myself but I'm gonna admit it yeah I was dating diet about. Pioneers Miguel. And then I started cheating on him with his best friend. In June. Yeah. Don't of that and came over one night and we had endeared strangle all day he drink you might still leaves at least in the night lately on the couch the next morning. I haven't I'm at a time he would eight month old. Though he wasn't even walking yet however my son managed to go to the best friend in law he would probably. Get is you did pockets. Pull out hit felt. An open and text messages. Come me. And handed opponent directly to my bar and grueling all of the group of each. That's amazing double. An eight year old did these like I know what's up man. I did sort of take a look at this then. It might can call me out man and my work and a net late he brought all the information can relay to weekly Eric. And they he forgave me and he'd acquired in July from at all. Clearly I would a invested in other relationships that said they don't whatever happened to the crowd there how long did you hang out with him. Really he'd get into early in the app and I and I felt so bad about all of it back out talking to block them okay and you moved on and yes. Yes I'm happily married now I'll guy and it's did now. You almost. Well done and you have any other children. No and you was somewhat in a weird way thank him for this like you know like as time goes on obviously you're in a situation the minute you're not proud of and all that but but is it all shook out you know I mean area. Kind of glad that happened. Well absolutely and he noted that aren't always comes out one where younger I was the bad guy in the situation by.

Around half a million Post Office customers are facing steep home phone and broadband price hikes next month, with the cost of some packages set to increase by up to Ł36/year. But if you're affected it's possible to leave your contract penalty-free or haggle a better deal.
From 5 September, Post Office customers can expect to pay Ł16.99/month for line rental (up from Ł16/mth), while the cost of home phone and broadband packages and broadband-only packages will rise by around Ł3/mth, and some call costs are set to increase 13-fold.
The latest hike will be the third time in just 20 months that the Post Office has cranked up its prices – the cost of line rental was Ł13/mth until the start of 2015. For how to choose the cheapest deal and our current top picks, see our Cheap Home Phones and Cheap Broadband guides.
How much are prices going up by?
Here's how prices will change from 5 September...
- Line rental. Rising from Ł16/mth to Ł16.99/mth. The cost of its 'line rental saver' (where you pay for a year upfront) is going up by Ł11.88, to Ł179.88.
- Call costs. The biggest rise is for UK national and local evening calls, which are going up from 1p/min to 10p/min. UK mobile calls are going up 1p/min to 13p/min; premium rate mobile calls are rising from between 13.28p/min and 19.20p/min to a flat rate of 20p/min; the access charge (for calls to certain numbers not included in your package) is increasing to 10p/min from 9.5p/min; and the call connection charge is rising to 16p/call from 15.5p/call. Other call costs will remain the same.
- Broadband and home phone packages. The cost of the Post Office's 'Broadband Essential with Home Phone' package will rise from Ł21/mth to Ł23.99/mth, while the price of the 'Broadband Premium with Home Phone' package (which comes with unlimited usage) will go from Ł24/mth to Ł26.99/mth.
- Broadband-only packages. The 'Broadband Essential' offering is rising to Ł25/mth from Ł22/mth, while the 'Broadband Premium' offering is going up to Ł28/mth from Ł25/mth.

How to beat the hikes 1 – escape your contract penalty-free
The good news is the Post Office has confirmed all customers affected by the hikes CAN escape their contract penalty-free.
Under regulator Ofcom's rules, if you've taken out a line rental, broadband or mobile contract from 23 January 2014 onwards you can cancel your contract penalty-free if a provider ups its monthly prices mid-term and didn't warn you about the rise when you bought the contract.
To leave penalty-free, you must let the Post Office know within 30 days of it giving you official notification of the price rises. As it started sending letters to affected customers from 18 July, you haven't got long.
The Post Office told us that if you paid upfront for a package, eg, if you've bought the 'line rental saver', you'll be able to get a refund for the rest of the year if you quit your contract in light of the upcoming price rises.
If you're looking to switch from the Post Office, see our Cheap Home Phones and Cheap Broadband guides for best buys. Current top-pick phone and broadband deals include:
- Plusnet line rental and broadband – Ł186 over a year, get Ł75 cashback (offer expires today – 9 August).
- TalkTalk line rental and broadband – Ł198 over a year, get a Ł120 Love2Shop voucher.
- Sky line rental and broadband – Ł216 over a year, get a Ł100 M&S voucher.
How to beat the hikes 2 – haggle, haggle, haggle
Alternatively, if you're willing to stick with the Post Office, this is a great opportunity to haggle a much better deal – especially as you'll have the right to leave penalty-free if they don't give you one.
See our How to Haggle guide for more info, but in the meantime here are a few tips to get you started...
- Benchmark the best deal elsewhere so you ask for a realistic discount.
- Get through to the retentions (sometimes called disconnections) department. They have the most power to slash costs, as their job is to keep you.
- Use charm and be friendly. Aggression or anger will just put their back up.
- Don't panic if they call your bluff and say they'll disconnect you.
- Problems mean discounts, so if you've had issues with the Post Office in the past – eg, slow broadband – politely tell them when you haggle.
- You may find that your Post Office customer service rep will only offer a small discount at first, but if you don't agree with the price use phrases like: "I've worked out my budget, and my absolute max is Ł[insert price here]/month"; "[TalkTalk/Sky/Virgin] can do it for less"; "I need to think about it".
- You should never go with the first offer. Chances are it's not the best deal they can do. Remember, be firm.
- The salesperson may push you to agree because it's a 'limited-time offer' – don't feel pressured into agreeing to the new price or deal unless you're certain.
- Vote with your feet. If you don't get what you want you should seriously consider leaving.
I recently took out a Post Office promotion – what does this mean for me?
Unfortunately even if you recently took out a Post Office promo deal, you won't escape unscathed – though you do have the right to escape your contract penalty-free (see above for more on this).
If you're on its '12 months' free broadband' promotion:
- Your monthly line rental charge will increase from Ł16/mth to Ł16.99/mth.
- Your broadband monthly charge will increase from Ł8/mth to Ł10/mth, but your monthly discount will increase from Ł8 to Ł10 to offset this.
If you're on the '18 months' half-price broadband' promotion:
- Your monthly line rental charge will increase from Ł16/mth to Ł16.99/mth.
- Your broadband monthly charge will increase from Ł8/mth to Ł10/mth, but your monthly discount will increase from Ł4 to Ł5 to partially offset this.
The Post Office says all its promos are subject to price and terms potentially changing during your contract. More info can be found in its T&Cs.
What does the Post Office say?
A spokesperson says: "These changes will allow us to continue to offer customers all the great benefits that are included within our packages in an increasingly competitive market.
"We have written to our customers to let them know about these changes and to highlight a number of money saving tips. We've done everything to keep our prices as low as possible so that we are offering customers the best value for money.
"Whilst we have increased some of our telecoms prices we are still one of the best value providers in the market."
Haven't other providers hiked prices recently too?
To be fair, the Post Office is far from alone in raising prices:
- Around 10 million BT customers faced price increases from 3 July, with the cost of line rental rising by Ł1/mth and some broadband packages increasing by up to 15%.
- Millions of Sky TV customers were hit by a price hike on 1 June, with the cost for some going up by up to Ł72 a year. Sky also announced in December last year that it was switching many customers from free weekend and evening calls to a Ł4/mth product, on top of an extra Ł1/mth in line rental for all its customers.
- Around 4.4 million Virgin Media home phone, broadband and TV customers were hit with above-inflation price hikes of 5.4% on average from 1 February.
- TalkTalk increased line rental by Ł1/mth in October last year, while also increasing the cost of its 'Simply Broadband' package by Ł2.50/mth.
- Plusnet home phone and broadband customers were hit with price hikes from 2 September last year; the biggest increase for existing customers being monthly line rental.

The death toll of the Nepal earthquake has risen above 5,000 and more than 8,000 people have been left injured. Initial estimates say that 8 million people have been affected. (c) REUTERS/Navesh Chitraka
These numbers are likely to rise as rubble is cleared and as news comes in from remote and cut-off areas.
Aftershocks have been felt with remote villages still to be reached, cut-off by landslides and communications wiped out. This has made rescue and relief work extremely difficult.
Thousands are sleeping in open, as their homes are either destroyed or people are too scared to return to unstable buildings, particularly while aftershocks continue.
Nepal Earthquake Appeal
Leading UK aid agencies have announced a joint appeal to help survivors of the devastating earthquake.
The Disaster Emergencies Committee (DEC) brings together 13 leading UK aid charities – including our partner Age International – in times of crisis.
Money raised will support the efforts of DEC members to reach families affected by Saturday's 7.8 quake which struck west of the capital Kathmandu.
DEC chief executive Saleh Saeed says: "The pictures and stories coming out of Nepal show families ripped apart by this disaster."
"Survivors are in need of medical help, shelter, food and water. In many cases they have lost everything and our members are ready to help them rebuild."
What we're doing
HelpAge has an existing programme in Nepal and well-established local partners in the affected areas. We are also sending a team of experts to support our response.
Our initial focus will be to address the immediate needs of survivors including emergency shelter, food, drinking water and household items.
We are looking at the possibility of giving cash transfers to older men and women affected, so that they can buy essentials such as food. We will also work with other agencies to ensure older people are included in their responses.
There is strong evidence that older people suffer disproportionately from disasters. They are often not able to flee disasters due to reduced mobility and are also more vulnerable to injury and psychological stress caused by disasters.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Vincent Sheheen questioned whether voters should trust his Republican opponent Nikki Haley, noting that she has failed to live up to such basic civic obligations as paying taxes.
Last week, a report showed that Haley's family clothing store business -- for which she has done accounting work -- was penalized three times, twice for failing to pay corporate income taxes and once for not turning over taxes withheld from employee checks.
She also has been fined for failing to pay her personal income taxes on time.
"There seems to be a pattern that the rules don't apply," Sheheen said Wednesday after a campaign stop in North Charleston.
"I think it's particularly problematic that she would not pay her employee withholding because that money really belongs to the employee. ... For somebody who claims their accounting skills are a reason why she should be elected governor, I think that's particularly disturbing."
Haley's campaign has said she is running to cut red tape and simplify a burdensome tax structure. Ending the corporate income tax has been one of her main talking points on the campaign trail.
Sheheen also criticized Haley for being willing to restore the sales tax on groceries as part of wider tax reform that would eliminate the corporate income tax.
"I think she's just out of touch with regular people in South Carolina who do pay their taxes and do have to buy food and put it on their table," he said.
Haley's campaign fired a broadside at Sheheen this week, noting that he was endorsed by The Injury Board Blog Network, a national group of personal injury attorneys. It noted that Sheheen, a lawyer, voted to weaken a tort reform bill in 2005.
"The entrenched special-interest network of trial lawyers and personal injury attorneys is circling the wagons for Vince Sheheen," said Haley's communications director, Rob Godfrey.
Sheheen said he wasn't aware of the endorsement but has received backing from several groups. "I hope everybody endorses me," he said. "I'd rather have a successful lawyer as my governor than an accountant who doesn't pay her taxes."

San Diego Councilwoman warns of Haiti scams
SAN DIEGO (Press Release) — Tragedies bring out the best and the worst in people. "Don't be duped. Stick with the charities you know. If you don't, not only will you get ripped off, but legitimate charities won't get the money they need to help," warns Councilmember Marti Emerald.
To avoid being scammed, look to organizations with familiar names. The San Diego Chapter of the American Red Cross www.sdarc.org, The Salvation Army www.salvationarmyusa.org, and Rescue Task Force www.rescuetaskforce.org are a few reliable aid organizations with recognizable names. There are many more.
Other things to remember: Unless you contacted the organization, never give out personal information either on the phone or on-line. If you're in doubt about the legitimacy of an organization, check them out on the internet to make sure the information they give you matches information on the organization's official Website. Or in the case of a telephone solicitation, ask for a phone number to call them back.
Charities have fundraising and administrative costs so be wary of any claims that 100 percent of your donation will assist relief victims.
A couple of great resources where you can find reputable and safe Websites for donations are Charity Navigator www.charitynavigator.org and the Better Business Bureau www.bbb.org.
Also remember – most relief organizations cannot accept food, clothing, toys, etc. The best and fastest way to get aid to those who need it is with a monetary donation. That way, the many charities on location in Haiti can purchase what is truly needed.

Ben Affleck's latest small-screen appearance is unlikely to turn viral, but he hopes it will generate just as much publicity as his Jimmy Kimmel-kissing last one.
The actor-turned-activist, who in May returned from his third trip to the Congo in the past eight months, will appear in a special documentary on tonight's edition of Nightline to shed more of a global light on the often overlooked, yet terribly devastated, region.
"It makes sense to be skeptical about celebrity activism," Affleck wrote in an online essay about his trip. "There is always suspicion that involvement with a cause may be doing more good for the spokesman than he or she is doing for the cause."

Tennis. It belongs in video games just as much, if not more than any other sport or even genre. After all, Pong started everything, and Pong was merely tennis with bad graphics. It's only fitting then that Microsoft, with their desire to revolutionize console gaming, is finally bringing tennis to Xbox with Top Spin this fall.
Tennis fans can enjoy play as or against 16 of the world's best pros, or they can create their own player thanks to, what is promised to be, the most in-depth character creation on the market. Before we talk about who you'll make, here's a list of the 16 licensed pros:
|Lleyton Hewitt
|James Blake
|Pete Sampras
|Tommy Robredo
|Jan-Michael Gambill
|Michael Chang
|Gustavo Kuerten
|Meghann Shaughnessy
|Sebastian Grosjean
|Anna Kournikova
|Daniela Hantuchova
|Martina Hingis
|Barbara Schett
|Ashley Harkleroad
|Elena Dementieva
|Amanda Coetzer
Tennis games have always succeeded when keeping a very simple control scheme. Microsoft and developer PAM are taking a bit of a gamble by making every button on the controller useful for something. Take a look at the control scheme and keep in mind how simple both Pong and Virtua Tennis were:
A - Return shot
B - Topspin
Y - Lob
R trigger - Hold down and press a face button for a risk shot with power meter included
L trigger - Hold down and press face button for various drop shots
White button - After a point: Pump fist, nod to your success, and try and get the crowd on your side
Black button - After a point: Argue with umpire, slam racket down, look around in disgust
While it's not hard to control at all, it does take some time to get used to using the right trigger for kill shots. In the second or two it takes to hit a ball, you'll need to hold down the trigger, gage the power meter, and hit one of three face buttons. The first few times I tried it I was smacking balls into the net.
On the plus side, the black and white buttons offer the ability to show some emotion with your player. The buttons are analog, so the harder you press the black button, the more agitated you become. As the match progresses the more you press the button the more McEnroe you become.
Though there is certainly some arcade flair to Top Spin, there's also plenty of realism packed into Microsoft's tennis package. Every type of tennis surface is represented and each affects traction and ball movement. The ball is noticeably different on clay than on grass, which definitely adds an "ooh" factor.
Control still seems a bit tenuous as the game is not quite complete. With another few months, it will likely be in top shape. As it stands, there are some definitely things to enjoy. It's tennis. It's fast. It's fun. And there are plenty of those "oh come on that was on the line!" moments.
Use of the white and black buttons are more integral to the game than they seem at first glance. But if you can get the crowd behind you and start nailing some key shots, you'll enter The Zone. At this point, you become an even greater tennis player. Shot just keep falling for you. That much is clear, but I'm not quite sure what happens if you use the black button too much. Only time and further practice will tell, but hopefully the negative reaction black button will have some effect on gameplay.
For those wanting lots of dives, shots between the legs, and fast-paced open tennis, this is it. There's a lot of movement, a lot net play, and some cool baseline rallies to be had. And all 16 licensed pros have their own animations and are intended to play and look just like the real deal. The close-up cut-scenes do show off at least Lleyton Hewitt's mannerisms.

I was told I should change my major
Okay, so I still need to finish my pre reqs to send in my Nursing School App. However, I have a problem: Complex Partial Seizures. They are not fully controlled and I get them every now and then. I get them during class sometimes and I am scared that I won't be accepted into the nursing program because of them. Granted, I do miss material and whatnot, but I get notes from friends and stuff. I always make up my work. My professors understand. I'm not a slow learner, I ca grasp material alright, but I was told by a RN that I will put patients life in danger and I will probably end up killing someone, and that they wouldn't want me working with them. That I am a liability. Mind you, I am an EMT. I work all the time and everything is squared away with that, I am an awesome tech (I think). I am losing confidence I suppose that I should continue with this major. Am I wasting my time?
I have wanted to be a nurse all my life, and now that I am 20 and in college and I have the opportunity to get my BSN eventually, I am told that I should just change my life goal? I still have a lot of time before I finish school, and I think that is enough of time for my brain to figure out that it needs to chill out. (Meaning med management)
Should I just reconsider being a nurse? This is what I want. I can do it, but will discrimination become a factor in this? Even if I get accepted into the Nursing Program, will my instructors there be as understanding as my professors are now?
Thanks, in advance.

Student; from USMar 8, '13What is the opinion of your treating physician/health care provider? Nearly all programs require a physical as a condition of enrollment. Therefore s/he will have to make a statement that you are medically cleared and able to participate in the nursing program (didactic/classroom and clinical) without restriction.
Start there. If you are not medically clear to participate in the program, accommodation by your professors will not be an issue.Mar 8, '13Good day, Courtney:
The fact you are an EMT, and what you have does not interfere with being an EMT speaks volumes.
I would recommend getting a letter of recommendation / reference from the person(s) for whom you report as an EMT.
Thank you.Mar 8, '13My neurologist says I am able to anything that any other person would do other than driving for 8 more months. Heck, she could just be saying that to raise my self esteem! Haha. Hypothetically, should I be cleared medically, and should I have an episode or something, would I be kicked out? I dont know if you would know but it's worth asking.Mar 8, '13Quote from CourtM092Again it would go back to getting medically cleared by your personal physician/medical team. Just like if you didn't have a seizure disorder and say had a bad car accident while in nursing school, you would need medical clearance without restriction to return to the programMy neurologist says I am able to anything that any other person would do other than driving for 8 more months. Heck, she could just be saying that to raise my self esteem! Haha. Hypothetically, should I be cleared medically, and should I have an episode or something, would I be kicked out? I dont know if you would know but it's worth asking.
Fortunately being able to drive a vehicle is not a requirement for nursing school. .Mar 8, '13Courtney, focus on the positive.
Meet Tim Harris - America's Only Restaurant Owner With Down Syndrome - Inspirational Video is about a young man that runs a restaurant with Down Syndrome.
You shared your intellect is not the issue. As an EMT, at least to me, you prove your heart (the one that counts) is not the issue.
Get references, keep the positive outlook, and look for ways to make your dream happen.
And Courtney, what you are going through may help you be an extreme encouragement (I'm told the word, encourage means to impart bravery and courage) to others going through similar experiences.
Should you succeed in your quest, whose to say you will not be able to help others in ways that nurses who have never gone through what you go through. You will have insights and experiences others will not have.Mar 9, '13CourtM092, I want to tell you to never give up on your dream or doubt your choice because of something someone told you. I have Bipolar Disorder and had a mental health worker who once told me that I shouldn't be a nurse because I wouldn't be able to handle the stress/odd schedules. I was also an EMT and I loved every second of it. I love the interaction with the patients and have been told I have very good bed-side manner. When that stranger told me that I should reconsider my dream to be a nurse, I was heart broken and self-doubting. In fact, I did change my major at first. I was so unhappy about the change because I knew I belonged in nursing. Now, I am finally applying to nursing school and ready. It took earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology for me and some long night conversations with my husband to finally believe my disorder wouldn't make me a bad nurse. I think the fact you want to be a nurse so badly is the reason you will be a fantastic nurse. Sometimes, people really do not understand something they do not have. They're quick to think that a disorder like yours or like mine make us a liability, someone who can't complete a task... not because we can't but because of their lack of understanding.
Wow, I think I rambled a bit more than I meant to but I just want to say that you should never give up on your dream because of someone else. I did (for a while) and regretted every second of it.Mar 9, '13Yeah, I don't want to say ignorance... because that just makes me sound mean. However, there are a lot of people who judge someone from what they see but they dont fully understand what it is. My cousin has bipolar and he never tells anyone (not that he needs to) but because he is self conscious about it. I mean him and me are close so he confides stuff to me... I think it's because we both deal with crap we cant control.
I love being an EMT, I also have great bed side manner, I ride with some techs that say "Oh this guy is a frequent flier" so and so forth, but in that back of my head, I feel for the guy. I dont show the guy that I'm annoyed that this is the 3rd time this week are picking him up for abdm pain. What can you do.
The first time someone told me that I should reconsider being a nurse, I changed my major as well to music... yeah i dont know why i did that.
The most shocking part for me was how rude the nurse was to me who told me this lol its like lady you need to take a seat. I would have thought she would have understood the complexity of seizures... haha but it's whatever, she might have just been having a bad day or something. We'll never know what her beef was.Mar 9, '13I know exactly how you feel. In 2006, at the age of 21 I began having syncope ( passing out) at my college. It reached a point till I had to leave college in 2008. However, throughout this time I still worked towards being a nurse. In 2009, I attended a college much closer to home. I then began have full grand mal seizures and I was diagnosed as having epilepsy. However, despite the medication I took it would not be controlled for any period of time. I still worked towards entering a nursing program however unlike you my condition was never controlled. It was only then I changed my mind about being a nurse because I truly could not get passed the physical and it was uncontrolled for some time. However, I soon became my own healthcare advocate and really looked into my health problem instead of just listening to doctors. Eventually I found out that I have a severe hormone imbalance due to a previous condition and this was causing the seizures. Right now, I am waiting for acceptances to ABSN programs ( and I am seizure free).
The point of my story is to never give up. If nursing is your dream do not give up unless your condition reaches a point where you would put patients at risk. There are nurses today who have a plethora of medical conditions and they work out just fine.
Follow your dream. It took me 9 years to get my BA because of my illness. However, I am not bitter. My experiences will make me a better nurse because I learned patience.
Become a nurse and be the best one!!Mar 9, '13Thank You!!!!!!!! Grand Mal's are no fun. You feel like you ran a marathon and you body is falling apart afterwards! I feel you! Are you taking anti seizure meds now or no? The reason you couldnt pass the physical was because you were having seizures Or because of the history of seizures? I know that should I get one, I just tense up... like tense up like a statue and that actually stops it... that's what I try and do during school.
This actually gives me confidence now. Thank you lots.

Mind the Gap! – A Potential Carve-Out in the Strict Notice Requirements Under the Virginia Public Procurement ActApril 30, 2015 – Alerts Construction Alert
Despite the Virginia Public Procurement Act's (VPPA) strict and rigorous notice requirements for contract claims against a public entity, the highly factual inquiry necessary to assess compliance can get contractors past a motion to dismiss. Last month, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia (WDVA) confirmed that whether or a not notice complies with the VPPA's requirements is a question of fact to be determined at trial, not on a motion to dismiss. Specifically, WDVA denied the City of Charlottesville's motion to dismiss Costello Construction of Maryland, Inc.'s cumulative impact claims against the City on the basis of untimely notice under the VPPA. At issue in the City's motion was the following language of the VPPA, requiring notice of contractual claims to the public entity:
"Contractual claims, whether for money or other relief, shall be submitted in writing no later than 60 days after final payment. However, written notice of the contractor's intention to file a claim shall be given at the time of the occurrence or the beginning of the work upon which the claim is based."
The WDVA's ruling is unique in that it addressed notice for cumulative impact claims for the first time, leaving open the question of whether the burdensome, strict VPPA notice requirements can be complied with more flexibly in cases of cumulative impacts. The Supreme Court of Virginia has previously recognized that not all claims arise under the same circumstances and that the phrase "at the time of occurrence" requires a factual inquiry into the circumstances of each claim. However, thus far, litigation in Virginia over notice under the VPPA has been primarily limited to claims that are identifiable (if not quantifiable) prior to the start of the work upon which the claim is based, such as direct damages or acceleration.
But cumulative impacts, by their nature, cannot be identified or quantified until after work on a project has progressed or maybe even completed. In that sense, the "occurrence" of the claim may not be before the first change order, or even the 10th change order. While not previously litigated in Virginia, the WDVA's ruling seems to suggest that there is an opening for contractors who discover they have been damaged by a litany of changes and delays by the owner to seek compensation for those claims after the work has been performed despite the strict notice requirements in the VPPA.
On the Fontaine Fire Station Project, Costello is seeking just that - damages, in part, from the City of Charlottesville for the cumulative impacts related to the construction of the project. Attached to the complaint were two "notices of claims/claims" that were filed with the City after substantial completion. The City argued these notices were untimely as a matter of law because they were not filed prior to the beginning of the work upon which the claims were based. Costello argued that the VPPA contemplates notice "at the time of the occurrence" of the claim, which in the case of cumulative impacts may be after most of the work has been completed.
The Court disagreed with the City and is allowing the claims to move forward. Whether the notices will ultimately be found to comply with the VPPA remains to be seen.

Bryce Dallas Howard Interview
"I Don't Think She Thinks She's A Racist At All"
Quick BioBryce Dallas Howard is heavily pregnant with her second child and not feeling so great when we sit down to talk about her role in The Help. Fortified by bananas, sparkling water, naturopathic remedies, and a natural exuberance, Howard is impressively cheery and thoughtful. She looked beautiful in royal blue and gray; perfect long, red hair and hardly a drop of makeup. But we were there to talk about the ugly soul of the character she plays in the film version of Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel The Help, Hilly Holbrook. Hilly is a southern social leader in small town in the '60s, who organizes everyone's lives and sets the proper standards of behavior through intimidation and repression.
Unfortunately, that standard includes out-and-out racism, a fact of life in the South, which she accepts as her birthright and which she upholds privately and publicly. She enforces a strict segregation between her set and their black servants. Hilly looks like a perfect Southern lady -- a pretty, summery flower at all times, which contrasts vividly with her rotten inside. It is yet another strong, juicy role in the 30-year-old actress' impressive career. AskMen spoke with Howard, the daughter of Oscar-winning director Ron Howard, in Toronto.
Do you envision Hilly as a type who is conditioned by society or as an innately evil person?
Bryce Dallas Howard: I kind of felt she is innately oppressive, controlling, power-hungry, cruel. I felt like all these things were innate in her. I feel like the specifics of her prejudice were something that she grabbed onto. And she was more a product of her generation, and that's how her cruelty and hunger for power manifested.
Do you mean it was justified by the racism in that time and place?
BDH: I don't think that Hilly would ever do anything that was not popular, and because this was the popular belief and way of being it gave her the license to be prejudiced. She didn't think she was prejudiced. There's that line in the movie where she says, "There are real racists in this town," as if she's not one of them. But I don't think she thinks she's a racist at all. She truly believes she's doing the right thing. In playing her, it was my responsibility to capture the dual personality there -- these tendencies but also the specifics of how they manifest is because of an ignorance that has been bred into her. In the end, when she realizes that the world is changing and she can't stop it from changing anymore.... Not that she realizes she's wrong; she's overwhelmed by the fact that it's going to change and she can't change.
She's so young to think that way.
BDH: I don't want to meet Hilly today!
There is episode after episode in which Hilly is brutally, destructively sharp. When you act a role like this for the extended period it takes to shoot it, does it get inside you?
BDH: Tate Taylor, who wrote the screenplay, is such a naughty, fun man and he made such a light-hearted set. The group of women that I was working with were so nurturing and fun and grounded -- it wasn't one of those experiences where you disappear into the character and re-emerge three months later. I was always looking forward to the moments between takes when I'd be talking to my girlfriends or I looked forward to lunch with Tate to see what kind of outrageous thing he was going to do. I felt very centered because of the environment he created. I didn't get lost in the world of Hilly. It's happened to me before as an actor, definitely.
So you didn't go home and dominate everyone?
BDH: No! Well, you should probably ask my husband! [Big laughter]
You have played really meaty roles; you have not taken the easy path in choosing them. I'm thinking of The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, Manderlay and The Village. You seem to be attracted to, and are given, significant roles.
BDH: It's not that I'm a serious person, I'm playful and stuff like that but I take characters very seriously and the work very seriously. I have a lot of fun with it and really enjoy myself. But I've seen on set sometimes people who will come there and not necessary have their lines fully memorized and be kind of winging it and they often bring such a natural playfulness and spontaneity and it's kind of electric. They play characters that are very close to themselves so they're very natural. That's definitely their approach and it works in their favor. For myself, part of the joy for me is creating someone different or going into a world I didn't know about that is unfamiliar. It's a difference in approach.
You're concentrating on details, background and psychology.
BDH: Sometimes these other folks have something very special in them that they offer, so it doesn't totally matter what the character is because each time they bring themselves. I am a little bit more obsessed with a character. I've never articulated that before.
Coming from a family that's been in film and TV for decades through your father Ron Howard, was there a choice in what you would do with your life?
BDH: My memory of coming around to this idea of acting was that it was almost a discovery. For a long time I was thinking about a few other professions that I was very seriously considering. When I was applying to colleges is when I realized I wanted to study acting along with writing in a double major. One of my sisters is an actress, my other sister is at school right now to be a social worker and my brother is a professional golfer. My sister studying social work has never been interested in acting ever, ever, ever! And my brother has never been interested in acting. It makes me think it wasn't necessarily genetic; it only infected 50% of us. Writing is a huge thing for me, and I was interested in forensic anthropology. I was really into it for a long time, I think because my best friend was into it. I admired her greatly. And then I considered child care -- I worked in a center for four years.

Breaking the stigma of behavior healthcare
By Lt. Col. Paul Dean and
USASOC conducted a review of policies and procedures relating to behavioral health (BH) stigma issues across the command. The review was comprehensive and included focus groups from all of the tribes, as well as subject matter expert input. Feedback from across the tribes is critical in developing effective strategies to establish an environment that encourages and supports our ARSOF warriors to seek necessary behavioral health services.
Based on feedback from USASOC Soldiers and our SME's, the primary factors and perceptions related to BH stigma/ barriers to care include: (1) Confidentiality and fear of being labeled, (2) Negative impact on career, (3) Self/ peer perceptions, (4) Accessibility of quality BH care, and (5) Command climate.
The best practices to mitigate BH stigma include several lines of effort. Most importantly, the emphasis needs to be on Warrior Mental Performance Enhancement, rather than the traditional BH model. It is also critical that we increase the number of embedded BH providers, expand BH education/training initiatives, and continue to explore multiple avenues for Soldiers to access quality BH care. Ultimately, USASOC leaders need to both communicate the value of warrior performance enhancement and establish sustainable programs that support the mental health of the force.
All policies and procedures related to BH treatment were reviewed. There were no identified USASOC, SOCOM, DA or DoD policies that directly contribute to stigmatizing Soldiers for seeking BH treatment. Current DA and DoD policies focus more on privacy for service members who seek treatment. However, some leaders still want programs or procedures that identify high risk individuals. The procedures must balance the command need to know with the importance of privacy and confidentiality. Ultimately, Soldiers that are being seen for routine BH counseling or consultation should not be identified as "high risk."
Primary Stigma Factors and Barriers to Care
A. Confidentiality & Fear of Being Labeled. The single most pervasive concern of our USASOC warriors is that their BH information will not remain confidential and will result in stigmatization. As one USASOC Soldier put it, "Everything in SF Group is based on reputation." Our SOF warriors don't want to stand out negatively or give reasons to doubt their ability, and some Soldiers reported feeling embarrassment and shame for being seen entering a BH clinic or office.
It is a leader's responsibility to take care of his people as well as being aware of risks to mission and risks to the force. We need to ensure that service members have the ability to seek self-improvement, optimize mental performance, and pursue routine behavioral health consultation and counseling without fear of being tracked or stigmatized.
There are also practical steps that can be implemented to address concerns of confidentiality and privacy. The BH clinic or office needs to be in an area that maximizes privacy. Soldiers should be given the flexibility to attend appointments in civilian clothes or take other reasonable steps to ensure they are comfortable in seeking BH care. BH clinics or offices should be located away from HQ and main work areas, and even separate from other medical clinics to remove stigma and barriers. Another option is the establishment of off-site clinics. Ultimately, it is most important for our SL's to foster a command culture that closely guards confidential medical or BH information.
B. Negative Impact on Career. One prominent concern of our warriors is that they will be removed from their team if they seek BH assistance and consequently lose their support system. Respondents cited potential impact on OER/NCOER's, promotions, future military courses, flight status and loss of special duty pay. One officer stated that he thought medical/BH records were reviewed at promotion boards. While this is erroneous, it does contribute to stigma. Some soldiers are convinced leaders unofficially make negative career decisions about Soldiers who have sought BH services or advice.
BH treatment rarely harms soldier's careers; however, the inevitable results of not seeking help - DUI, domestic violence, and disciplinary problems – do damage careers. In many cases, these adverse impacts can be prevented if a Soldier seeks behavioral health or other support earlier in the process. Therefore, our leaders must make realistic and conscious efforts to ensure that 1) Soldiers willing to seek self-improvement through behavioral health resources suffer no negative repercussions, and 2) lead by example by demonstrating willingness to personally seek self-improvement.
There is also a pervasive concern that seeking BH treatment will negatively impact a SOF Soldier's security clearance. USASOC conducted a thorough evaluation of security policies, consultated with senior security clearance adjudicators, and reviewed BH policies. The clear take-away message is the only real negative impact on security clearance or job opportunities is overt maladaptive behavioral or legal issues rather than simply seeking behavioral health services. The belief that seeking BH treatment will result in security clearance revocation continues to be a strong deterrent for BH treatment. In one small poll of SOF Soldiers, only 10% realized there was any change in this policy that allowed individuals not to report counseling related to adjustment from combat. Please see attached G-2 information paper that describes this in detail.
C. Self/ Peer Perceptions. Seeking BH treatment is perceived to contradict the cultural norm of self-reliance and may contribute to the stigma that those seeking BH treatment are perceived as "dependent." Across the force there is perception that seeking behavioral health services indicates a personal weakness and that our peers will also see us as less self-reliant.
However, seeking consultation and counseling is actually a sign of resilience, and is a critical part of the self-improvement process for many of our warriors. Just as we seek appropriate medical care for our physical injuries suffered in combat or training, we must also seek behavioral health to maintain and enhance warrior performance. Similarly, we do not consider our weapons "weak" by continually performing preventive maintenance on them or tweaking their performance through careful modifications. Humans are no different. Effective warriors seek self-improvement. Effective leaders support such behavior and lead by example.
D. Accessibility of Quality BH Care. Most of the participants reported that they generally trust BH providers and believed that BH treatments can be effective. However, there is a reported lack of "SOF Cultured Providers," and this can make the SOF Soldier feel misunderstood, disconnected, and less trusting. One very common theme was frustration in seeking care at medical treatment facilities for a variety of reasons. Long delays for appointments and unfamiliar providers present real barriers to care. Soldiers reported they generally are more likely to seek services from someone they are familiar with.
It is clear that our units need accessible providers that truly understand the SOF culture and are embedded in the organization they serve. CG, USASOC is pursuing several lines of operation (Army TAA 14-18 and SOCOM's Preservation of the Force and Families effort) to increase the number of Operational Psychologists and other embedded behavioral health providers for USASOC. Until we can grow our specialty assets, you should consider the multiple avenues of BH support that are currently available, including Operational Psychologists, Unit Chaplains, Licensed Clinical Providers, MFLC, Military One Source, TRICARE and our Military Treatment Facilities.
A significant number of USASOC Soldiers assume BH providers are quick to prescribe medication or to diagnose severe psychiatric diagnoses such as PTSD resulting in career ending administrative action and embarrassment. The reality is most trusted SOF oriented BH providers understand the impact of severe psychiatric diagnoses and carefully discuss these issues with the Soldiers they see and carefully consider their concerns. Several Soldiers expressed preferences for approaches that emphasize education, skill development, and incorporating social support. The use of embedded providers who better understand the unit's mission and culture will be able to make comprehensive assessments, provide education on mental health resources and judicious referrals for psychiatric treatment as necessary. Our operational psychologists and embedded providers should continue to monitor the quality of care being received by our Soldiers.
E. Abuse of the BH System. There is a common belief that some of our Soldier's are using mental problems as a get out of jail free card. This real or perceived abuse of the system increases stigma, as BH treatment is associated with escaping responsibility and poor performance. As a result, soldiers with genuine needs may then avoid getting help altogether.
Military discipline is fundamental to the integrity of our BH system. Leaders need to consistently hold Soldiers accountable for their actions, while still ensuring they are afforded all necessary behavioral health services.
F. Command Climate. Senior Leaders (SL's) can contribute directly or indirectly to BH stigma. Based on feedback from the tribes, this is certainly the exception, as USASOC leaders are reportedly providing a supportive environment for their Soldiers seeking BH care. However, there are some examples cited of negative comments concerning Soldiers seeking BH care, a general
lack of knowledge of the BH system, and some isolated incidents of Soldiers being removed from teams because they were seeking BH treatment.
A prominent theme across the tribes was the importance of SL's engaging Soldiers to lay the foundation for any BH messaging. SL's should educate Soldiers on the importance of seeking mental performance improvement or BH care early and the risk of waiting until there is real impact on their career related to legal/ethical/moral breaches. It is also critical for leaders to demonstrate to Soldiers that they are invested in their well-being. Across the tribes, this deliberate focus on Soldiers getting the help they need appears to have a positive impact and serves to mitigate BH stigma. The most powerful impact was from SL's discussing personal counseling/BH treatment and how it benefited them. The strongest Leaders lead from the front. One specific recommendation from an NCO was to establish a unit panel of SL's to answer Soldier's questions and discuss concerns.
Many USASOC Soldiers are unaware of the processes in place to ask for help and many of our SL's do not understand the BH system, especially policies and procedures related to confidentiality and reporting requirements. Operational Psychologists and embedded BH providers should provide education for leadership on BH policies, limits of confidentiality, recognition of risk indicators, and how to handle Soldiers with BH concerns.
In addition, the issue of planned force reduction should also be addressed by senior leaders. Especially amongst our support Soldiers, there is a fear that seeking BH care may give leadership a reason to cut them as part of the force reduction. Leaders should remind Soldiers that misconduct will continue to negatively impact a soldier's career, seeking self-improvement will not. Lastly, our CSC/CSU's need to establish and cultivate legitimate opportunities to reset, and these positions should not in themselves be stigmatizing.
Best Practices for Mitigating BH Stigma
A. Re-branding Behavioral Health. We best serve our soldiers by shifting the focus from Behavioral Health to an optimized mental performance model for SOF warriors. It is imperative that we begin to focus on proactive, health focused, optimized mental performance, rather than the medical illness/model. This approach will focus on enhancing the strengths of our warriors, rather than the model of treating illness, which in itself increases stigma. We assess and select our warriors because of their resilience and mental abilities, and our programs need to emphasize the need to maintain and enhance the mental readiness of our warriors to the same dedicated degree we currently work to enhance our combat skills, physical performance and endurance, and MOS skills. With a comprehensive approach, an optimized performance approach offers warriors access to a full range of physical, psychological, spiritual and family services uniquely shaped to optimize mental performance and attitudes, improve marital and family relationships, and enhance quality of life. How this is applied will depend on each of our tribes' unique culture and mission sets.
Optimized mental performance programs are conducted by operational psychologists and incorporate elements of behavioral science, learning theory, sports psychology, neuropsychology, and personality assessment to improve mental performance. PE may include individual or group training to enhance memory/concentration, situational awareness, mental flexibility, influence and persuasion, operating in ambiguous environment, team interpersonal dynamics, and leadership development. For example, one SF Group Psychologist has initiated performance psychology, leader development, and team dynamics instruction with some ODAs in order to enhance performance, build rapport, and increase familiarity.
Resilience programs are also based on an optimized mental performance model. One SF Group Resiliency Team developed a unique leader based resiliency program comprised of leader training (recognizing resilience vulnerabilities and methods to overcome these vulnerabilities), leader screening tool, and screening procedures. The program is based on the concept that issues are most effectively managed at the lowest level possible where leaders know their Soldiers best. Leaders are in a better position to effectively screen their Soldiers for issues and address those issues with professionals providing tailored and specific consultation and support as needed throughout the process.
B. Operational Psychology and Embedded BH Providers. The best practice model for our units includes an Operational Psychologist working as a Special Staff Officer working hand in hand with dedicated BH provider(s) who directly work under the Unit Surgeon. Our organizations that use this model have the least amount of BH stigma and the highest utilization of BH resources.
(1) Operational Psychologists: Operational psychologists provide support to a wide range of missions as a deployed asset and in garrison. This support includes A&S, HUMINT support, and SERE. The visibility of the operational psychologist in non-stigmatizing events can provide opportunities for short-term consultation, performance enhancement, or even counseling and is an ideal entry point for Soldiers to seek assistance. Specifically, significant interaction with operational psychologists at A&S and other training venues was cited by our SOF warriors as mitigating stigma. Also, operational psychologists routinely provide performance feedback on strengths and vulnerabilities based on A&S packets, and this creates an excellent venue to de-stigmatize and encourage self-improvement in the soldier.
(2) Embedded SOF BH Providers: Embedded providers have better understanding of cultural context, organizational pressures and resources and have habitual relationships with unit members. This can be a dedicated medical provider serving in medical clinic or an off-site clinic serving Soldiers. Placing uniform providers in civilian clothes while providing care can also decrease apprehension to seek BH care.
C. Chaplain Partnership with BH. Unit Chaplains are seen as well integrated and respected across USASOC. They continue to serve as the most prevalent point of entry for behavioral health concerns and counseling for many Soldiers. Cross training between group psychologist and chaplains can increase chaplain BH referral skills and enhance psychologist's access to Soldiers. Marital counseling and retreats provided by Chaplains are seen as excellent resources, and the inclusion of embedded BH providers can enhance these already successful programs.
D. BH Education Initiatives. Operational psychologists and embedded BH providers should develop innovative approaches to educating soldiers about performance enhancement, BH resources and accessing care. These resources can reside on the portal for BH FAQ's or in a library with informational and self-help resources. All of these programs need to address the SOF warrior's need for professional and personal development. In crafting these programs, developers need to keep in mind the strong dislike for approaches that seemed canned, programmatic, or "Big Army."
Operational psychologists and BH providers can also provide BH training to serve as force multipliers. For example, integration of BH topics into 18D non-trauma modules has been an effective way to enhance existing support systems for ARSOF warriors.
E. Mandatory Assessments and Briefings. Mandatory briefings and assessments can be good opportunities for SOF warriors to seek BH assistance. While these programs initially may meet resistance, the feedback from the tribes is that they are beneficial because they serve as "cover" for those Soldiers that would not otherwise engage an operational psychologist or BH provider. At one of our CSU's, a 3 year re-look program is generally seen positively and has the positive effect of operational psychologists increased visibility and encourages personal development through psychological assessment feedback and performance enhancement.
F. Providing Multiple Avenues for BH Assistance. There are several sources of BH support, including embedded BH providers, MFLC, Army One Source, MTF's and Tricare network providers.
Across the tribes there are many factors contributing to BH stigma and significant barriers to care. There are changes that can be made in the short-term to mitigate stigma, such as increased resources, accessibility and optimized mental performance programs. However, genuine long-term change requires strong leadership to establish a command climate that supports our SOF warriors as they seek mental performance enhancement, personal development and behavioral health support.
