"A lot of people sacrificed everything for me to have this life. I don't want to be ungrateful, but that's a lot of pressure."
"I feel like one person with my family, and a different person out in the world. Why do I have to hide parts of myself?"
"I know they want the best for me, but I wish I could decide that for myself."
Are you the "black sheep" of your family?
As a child of immigrants, or an immigrant yourself, you may feel conflicting feelings of gratitude and obligation for the sacrifices your parents made.
Typical American rites of passage into adulthood may start to feel like disloyalty to your family, your culture, and somehow, your entire country.
How Being the "Black Sheep" of Your Family Affects Your Mental Health
(And what you can do about it.)
College. Career. Dating. Marriage. Independence. Tradition. These hold specific meanings for you.
You start to feel like a foreigner to your family. And are reminded of your otherness among your peers.
Bicultural communities don't see themselves represented in mainstream America. What effect does this have on your mental and emotional health, or how you relate to others? Could it be part of the reason you struggle with feeling heard, understood, and fitting in?
Why a culturally affirming therapist?
Many of my clients are of Asian or Latinx descent. They tell me that they've met with other therapists who were "fine," but that they didn't really get it.
We can't just say, "You know, tell your mom to get out of your business!" or "Hmm, that sounds like a co-dependent relationship," and call it a day.
That doesn't fly with moms from the old country!
There may have been a time in your past when you just wished for a family that wasn't so different. But you're done erasing your heritage, and you want a therapist who understands that.
You don't want aspects of your culture to be "diagnosed" as the reason for your depression. You don't want to spend your therapy sessions explaining "how your family does things" to your therapist. You just need to vent about how you feel like no matter what you do, it's not right.
One of the trickiest things about getting help is making sure the person "gets" you. That's why we go to our friends and family first - we don't have to explain everything!

But if you need more help than they can give, you want a therapist who understands where you're coming from (literally).
Family Therapy
I specialize in helping individuals and couples negotiate boundaries between their original family and their chosen family. This is even more complex for inter-cultural and interracial couples.
Are you one of the only people in your family to come out as LGBTQ+, or to partner with someone outside of your culture? Do your parents deny your sexual orientation or gender identity?
Did you decide on a "forbidden" career path?
Is this just one more way you have "disappointed" your parents?
Do you decide to follow your own choices or meet your parents' expectations? Do you have to choose?

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, but my family is from Afghanistan. I especially welcome my South Asian and East Asian American neighbors! For those interested, I have familiarity with Islam and Muslim culture but am not a religious therapist.
If you're feeling like you're a constant "disappointment" to your family, even though you're actually doing pretty well, let's talk about it!

By Pumudu K.
There's often more than one side to any argument. However, when it comes to issues regarding science, there's a way of breaking down different arguments and being able to come to a conclusion. This is especially true with regards to climate change, as regardless of where we live in the world, the changing climate affects us all.
Following a very recent announcement that Syria had agreed to join the Paris Climate Accords, the United States is now the ONLY sovereign nation that would not be part of this ground-breaking agreement. This was despite the U.S. government just releasing a new report which details comprehensively the ways in which humanity is responsible for the changing climate. All of this begs the question: Why is there such a dissonance between understanding climate change in the United States?
In her analysis, Dr. Katharine Hayhoe of Texas Tech University discusses the primary issue behind this scenario; politics. She argues that the issue is not so much the science behind climate change, but rather the perceptions of it as something that is beyond our hands, and beyond solutions. She further goes on the discuss steps that can be taken to do this, which means recognizing the effects of climate change where we are, and that there are solutions to combat these changes as well.

What a match!
Stephen has been working for this one since last season. Tonight he beat the reigning region champion of 2 years. Stephen really didn't tighten up much during this match, and that helped him stay on his game. He played smart, high percentage tennis. Both players used the court well. Stephen won most of the long rally points tonight. He tightened up for a shot towards the end, but like the great players do, he was able to forget about it and win the match two points later.
Taylor played a great match on his birthday! The first set started off rocky, but Reynolds pulled it together, stayed calm, and started hitting his shots much cleaner. The wind was moving his slice, so Taylor started hitting more topspin with more pace. It's fun to watch his mind work in a match.
Chris also came out with a BIG win tonight. He was up and down in the match, but Chris knew that this was his match. I put total trust in my seniors and they are the ones I want out there when the match is on the line. After dropping the second set in a tie-break, Edwards pulled it together and played a calm 3rd set tie-break to win the match.
#2 doubles got our last win of the night. They just keep getting better. Dimuzio and Whetsell are gaining confidence and experience every match. I love seeing the growth on court with their skills and strategy.

Finally, Hilton Head voters can request absentee ballots online. Here's what happened
In runoff, Hilton Head mayoral candidates will need votes in these precincts to win
Voters on Hilton Head have a very short window to vote absentee in the mayoral runoff election, but officials made it even more difficult for residents who will be away during the election next week — one of the busiest travel weeks of the year.
Board of Voter Registration and Elections of Beaufort County Director Marie Smalls said voters couldn't access a link to apply for an absentee ballot online for three days after the link was supposed to go live Saturday.
Voters only had a total of six days to apply for the application, and the mistake cost voters three of those days.
On Tuesday at 10 a.m., the link was back online and working for the first time since the general election.
Smalls did not return any of the Island Packet's phone calls or an email on the issue Monday, when the office was closed for Veterans Day.
Smalls said the board was unaware of the broken link before Tuesday morning, and said it was "not turned on" by the South Carolina Election Commission, meaning no one was able to request an absentee application.
Last week Smalls said the link would be active after the official canvass of votes on Nov. 10.
Absentee voting has a quick turnaround in runoff elections — the Town of Hilton Head Island code mandates a runoff take place two weeks after the general election.
That turnaround is under even more pressure because of the close mayoral race and the date of the runoff election, which will happen two days before Thanksgiving.
Both candidates, John McCann and Kim Likins, have said they are concerned about the fast-approaching deadlines for absentee voting and what that means for voter turnout.
How to vote by mail
Request an application
Voters can obtain an application in one of three ways:
- Now that the link is fixed, voters can go online to download and print an absentee application. The application must be turned in by Friday.
- You can contact the county voter registration office via phone or email and an application will be mailed or emailed to you. The phone number for the Beaufort County voter registration office is 843-255-6900. You can call or email the office for an absentee ballot as of Nov. 7.
- You may also get an application for an absentee ballot at the Bluffton satellite office, located at 61 Ulmer Road in Bluffton.
Complete and sign your application
Once you fill out your application, you must return it by Friday, Nov. 16 — four days before the election.
In Beaufort County, applications must be mailed to:
- 15 John Galt Road
Post Office Drawer 1228
Beaufort, SC 29901
Receive your absentee ballot
Once your application is processed, you will receive your absentee ballot in the mail at the address you listed on your application.
Read the absentee ballot instructions and fill out the ballot accordingly.
The mayoral race is the only Hilton Head race that has gone to a runoff election.
Return your absentee ballot
You must return your ballot to the county registration office by 7 p.m. Nov. 20, election day. You can return the ballot in person or by mail, using the address above.
Another person may return your ballot for you, but you must fill out an authorization form with the county voter registration office in order to do so, according to the website.
How to vote in person
Go to the county voter registration office, located at 15 John Galt Road in Beaufort, or the satellite office at 61 Ulmer Road in Bluffton, fill out an application and cast a ballot.
Smalls said the office is "hoping to have in-person absentee voting starting Wednesday," Nov. 14.
In order to absentee vote in-person, you must have a valid form of photo ID. You must cast a ballot by 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19, the day before the election.

The Call of Duty Black Ops 4 BETA has officially ended. It was a sad moment when the servers were shut down and the game displayed the message thanking us for participating. After two weekends of play, the game underwent some sweeping changes and some balances to make launch much smoother come October. Having reached max level (40 for this BETA) I was able to use just about everything that was made available. Sniper rifles were left untouched because I am terrible with them and there was one light machine gun that honestly was not worth the attention. Let's take a moment to discuss what I love, hated, and what I think needs improvement moving towards the October launch.
Black Ops 4 was designed on the foundation of teamwork. Specialists are back and each offers a unique ability and weapon to bring to each game. These abilities absolutely shine in the new game mode Control. Control is a perfect mix of Domination and Conquest (Battlefield series). Each team has 30 lives to either defend or attack two points on the map. Victory is achieved by eliminating all enemy lives or capturing the two objectives. The game mode is round based and the first to three wins takes the match. This mode is perfect when played with three to five friends. Teamwork is paramount in winning this mode as eSports has been a focus for Treyarch this time around. With rumors of league play coming back, it only makes sense. For all of the lone-wolf casuals out there, team deathmatch is still around and there is nothing stopping you from teaming up with a squad of four. I will say that having a mic and a headset will make
When the BETA first launched there were a few things holding the game back. Horrendous spawns in Domination and Hardpoint, the new gear item armor, and bunny hopping. The spawns were addressed. For whatever reason, the spawn system in Domination was broken and was allowing some unbreakable spawn traps. This made the mode virtually unplayable for the first weekend. Thankfully, Treyarch fixed these issues for weekend two and the spawns were back to being on par with previous titles.
Armor was a riot-inducing piece of equipment that would grant you complete immunity to, what Treyarch was saying, one bullet worth of lethal damage. This gear essentially gave players a "get out of jail free card" for the first bullet that made contact in a life (including the Gunship scorestreak as seen in this video).
Luckily this has been reworked so that it only cuts out a percentage of damage from the first bullet. Much better and I definitely noticed a difference in weekend two. There is a hard counter for it in game. AP rounds is an attachment on some guns that will eat right through armor. It is nice that there is a counter but I hate the idea of "crutch" items in create-a-class. Anything that is in the game that you feel like you have to equip for fear that you will be at a disadvantage should be removed or reworked. It is that simple. The game should be focused around skill and not randomness from equipment or guns that you may or may not have access to.
The last thing that really got under my skin was "bunny hopping". For whatever reason players were able to jump six feet into the air which created some unrealistic movement mechanics. Granted this game is near future in setting, and it is way better than the boost jumping we have had in previous games, but the jumping around can be frustrating at times. The developers made a change that would lessen the max jump height of players in each subsequent jump. So no longer would players be able to repeatedly jump six feet in the air. It is almost like a built-in jump fatigue and penalizes you for jumping too frequently.
Weapon balancing still needs a bit of tweaking. Call of Duty has generally been an SMG dominant game and that remains the case this year. Out of the gate, SMGs were the gun of choice and this prompted the devs to make a wholesale buff to the Assault Rifle class. As an AR player, this was great for me. I don't have the twitch skills to run and gun like the dominant SMG guys so sitting back for medium range engagements is my sweet spot. Shotguns were also garbage at launch. Neither of the shotguns were capable of one-shot kills without attachments. Most notably the pump shotgun in the game was 100% dependant on multiple attachments to be relevant in combat. Moving forward I would like to see another slight buff to the shotguns so that skilled players are able to control the very close quarters environments.
It is that simple. September 10th is when the Blackout BETA opens on PS4. Dates and times for other consoles have yet to be announced. With the absolute dominance that Fortnite has been able to display, Call of Duty is, in a way, forced to join the Battle Royale genre to try and compete with the free-to-play behemoth that is Fortnite. Will Blackout be able to end Fortnite? No. What Fortnite has been able to accomplish is industry changing. Blackout can capitalize on the growing genre, however. The thing that will separate it from everything else will be the core mechanics of the game. Fast-paced, smooth control and the gunplay of a Call of Duty game is something that other games can only dream of. The devil will be in the details as much is unknown about how the game will function. A big point of contention will be with the player count. Anything less than 100 players will most likely be seen as a huge misstep and I agree. Only time will tell but there is a lot of excitement building around Blackout and how it can compete in the Battle Royale scene.
Black Ops 4 will be a good game. Treyarch has been listening to the feedback from the BETA and they are making changes. I have faith that multiplayer will continue to get better and evolve over time. This is usually the case with games in our current climate. I'm most interested to see how Blackout shapes up and whether or not that will keep the game relevant up to the point that Infinity War releases CoD 2019 (Modern Warfare 4 if I had to guess). The problem with the most recent games is that it starts out hot and almost always fizzles out around February or March. Gamers can only hope until the final game is released in October.

Madame Mabel's Menagerie
Say, have you ever been to the edge of the universe?
No? Well let me tell you, there's an amazing place right there on periphery called Madame Mable's Menagerie.
Yes, I know it's quite a mundane name, but the exhibits and collections are out of this world.
Ah, I understand you want to know more, but wouldn't you want to see it for yourself. Of course, it's an expensive trip. Fine, I'll tell you about the best exhibit—Earth.
As soon as you enter through the doors, you find yourself in a tunnel and on a moving floor, surrounded by tons and tons of water. Above you, large and small creatures swim or float. You're able to watch them feed on each other. And let me tell you, it's terrifying. Some of those creatures have thousands of teeth. I mean, what if the glass above you broke? You could drown, or worse be eaten by a beast. It gives me shivers, I tell you, shivers.
Ah yes, if you were claustrophobic you wouldn't want to dally, you'd want to get through as quickly as possible.
Upon exiting the aquarium, you're blasted with hot stifling air as you step into jungle. The first thing you see is a sign warning you not to stray from the path.
Why? Because there are dangerous animals.
What kind of animals, you ask? Well, let's see…there are tigers and monkeys who hoot and holler, and all kinds of birds flying and chirping. Of those you must watch out for the tigers who stalk between trees and ferns or spiders that can kill with a bite.
You've never seen a jungle before, you say? Not even in storybooks?
Well, it's amazing. The air is humid, making you sweat and your clothes stick to your body. It's very dark as tall trees and lush foliage only let dapples of sunlight in. There's just enough light to see the creepy crawlies large as dinner plates skitter or slither across the paths. I know, I know it's frightening, but it's well worth the cost.
After the jungle, you trek through deserts and sand gets stuck in your shoes. Above you a bright star rays beam down on you. And you won't believe how much you sweat. At this point, your bathing in it. I know, you most definitely will stink. Imagine how much water you'll have to drink to replenish. There are some creatures, but not many because it is too hot.
So, after all the intense heat, you're thrust into an arctic cold that freezes your sweat, making your skin erupt in goosebumps and shiver so hard, your teeth chatter. White, crystallized ice called snow crunches under your feet, and your breath is a vaporized mist. Here, there are bigger creatures then in the jungle and just as dangerous. Animals not seen in centuries because they went extinct. One great, white beast was at least six feet tall and had long, sharp claws on four paws that would tear you in half. I know it's hard to believe, but Madame Mabel's has it all and it sits just on the edge of the universe. You really should visit. The sights are amazing and the Earth zoo is the best.
Of course, there's more to see then at Madame Mabel's. It would do no good if there wasn't. Oh, you want to know more there is? Are you sure you don't want to visit. I encourage you to go.
No, you want to hear about it? Okay, but I'm not sure my words will do the collection justice. Ah, I see your excited. I understand. I'll do my best for you.
See, the great thing about Madame Mabel's is the exploration of evolution on a primitive species call Hominids, closely related to primates, and it really is the grooviest exhibit by far.
The entrance to the Hominid Menagerie is a cave.
No, not a real cave, but nevertheless a cave like structure. See I told you my words would not justice to the delightful place. Now be quiet and listen up.
As I was saying, you walk through a cave. At first, it's dark, then light appears, and you see the cave walls. Can you guess what's on them? Go ahead.
Well, I guess I'll tell you. Paintings.
Not just any paintings. It's the first art of man. Now, the art is simply made in brownish-red color of hands, animals that your eyes has never seen, and stick figured people hunting. Truly amazing, even if you don't believe me.
When you step out of the cave at Madame Mabel wouldn't do well if you could interact with the species because mayhem would erupt. So, housed behind glass enclosures, you'll see the first hominids. Hunters and gathers forging through the savannah or in woods because the specimens are collected from their original habitats and brought here to Madame Mabel's.
However, those first hominids didn't just appear. No, no it started when they were primates hanging from tails in trees, or knuckle walking with long arms that hung to the ground. But then, something changes. It's still a modern mystery, but those hairy buggers start walking upright like us, and begin wearing clothing, but its centuries before they start to become civilized, and cultivate the land. As they do this, they become more intelligent, and their lives flourish.
But you know the sad thing is? For all their advances in technology and intellectual prowess, the thing that never changed is their aggressive nature and love of violence.
How many groups, you ask? Oh, I don't know…let me think…maybe twenty of so. Like a said, a great study of evolution. Do you know what that is?
Of course, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to allude that you were stupid.
What's my favorite? Oh well…it'd have to be the 21st century. Of course, it's not as if they were that advance at the time, but they had the best ways to entertain themselves. There's this box in which pictures are shown. I've caught glimpses and wish I could see more. My favorite is the about a family with a blue haired mother. It's quite humorous.
Where is Earth you ask? Well it sits in the Milky Way galaxy, third planet from their sun.
You rather go then visit Earth? That's just silly. Why? Well, it no longer exists in the way it did when hominids roamed the planet.
Why, you ask? Because their extinct and the environment hostile.
You want to know how? They were so violent they wiped themselves out. And the land is as barren as the fourth planet from their sun, Mars.
You want to visit the solar system? I guess you could, but it's closer and safer to visit at Madame Mabel's Menagerie. It's just at the edge of galaxy. And you can buy souvenirs.

The Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers, 33, is believed to have attempted suicide at his London home Tuesday night. He was found slumped on the floor by paramedics answering an emergency call, according to British paper The Sun. Meyers, who has struggled with addiction for years, refused help for over 30 minutes, so police were called and Meyers was forcibly taken to a nearby hospital. He's believed to have taken an overdose of pills. A source told the publication: "This is very sad. It was the opinion of those present that he tried to take his life." Scotland Yard confirmed: "Officers were called by London Ambulance Service following reports of a man refusing treatment. The man was taken to hospital." Meyers, who has starred in films such as August Rush and Mission: Impossible III, was discharged from hospital on Wednesday morning.

Why…Hes rich, famous and wants to throw it all away…some people dont appreciate what they have…get help…feel better…
You can still have it all, but still be extremly depressed. Just because your famous dosn't mean you do not have those thoughts or even attempt on them. I'm not condoning what he did, but he is human and those thoughts do exsist within some.
Rich and successful people get sad too, not just us poor folks. Addiction is a serious problem, I struggled with addiction for about 8 years and even tried to take my own life at one point. All the money in the world cant buy true happiness.
So sad!! I wouldn't trade millions for cameras chasing me, lack of privacy and expectations to be perfect, Just not worth the hassle.Hopefully he will get some help and seek strong family support.
Good looking guy, Hugo Boss model, in movies and tv, has cashola… He should take his depression/frustration out on have lots and lots of sex with hot ass women. That's what I'd do to drown my sorrows away. Take my advise Jonathan!
Maybe that's what he has been doing, and he's realized what a shallow life he's living, C-Dub. Happiness comes from caring about someone and having them care about you. On another note, I don't find him attractive at all, he's one of the creepiest looking, ugliest men I've ever seen.
I was really sad to hear this! Such a Nice looking man and young enough, that he has so much going for him and yet can't see that for himself! I hope someone helps him to see that there is still, a lot of good/people and Positivity in this World too. Also a lot of wonder!!
What pills? Do they say somewhere, for all we know its a placebo, because he has still a lot of energy to resist after thirty minutes. He's a method actor isn't he, you will probaly see this in a movie later on. Experiences for film. All your sympathy for nothing. Ha.
Sometimes these 'Stars' find out they have and are living a life they are not to fond of. There seems to only be two options for them. One is to take what money they have earned now and just go live in private on a nice property somewhere and enjoy yourself. The other is to mix those two lives intermix hollywood with a private and secluded lifestyle. It is clear that he needs to make a similar decision himself. Hoping he has a good support system somewhere otherwise we might see him again in the headlines.
What does rich have to do with it? know any other rich famous people that committed suicide or died of excess? I know plenty. Depression and addiction knows no social standard.

Before Sarah and I left the US, we generally avoided McDonald's. Admittedly, we sampled its wares and enjoyed some of them. (Sarah can even plot from memory the price distribution of its frozen yogurt throughout Manhattan – cone cost ranges from $0.90 in Columbia Heights to $1.62 in Times Square. However, most other foods under the golden arches made our stomachs churn.
Perhaps this decidedly un-American abstention from Mickey D's stemmed from our father, who has boycotted the restaurant since the age of 17, when he noticed that a golden arch had sprung up by a favorite beach. Surveying the greasy red and yellow blemish on the smooth face of the sand, he vowed never to set foot in a McDonald's as long as he lived.
Such a vow was easier kept in 1968. Over the past year, Ronald McDonald beamed at Sarah and me throughout our treks in Europe, Northern Africa and Asia. His was the consistent friendly face in 23 of the 25 countries we visited. As for Laos and Cambodia, where the big M was MIA, we probably weren't looking hard enough.
Our perception of the food chain began to transform five weeks into our travels. On one Italian afternoon, the Sisters Bailey and our buddy Bogdan sweltered for over an hour on the side of the highway to Pompeii. The egg-frying July heat drew sweat as we stared collectively towards the horizon, aching to spot our bus in the distance. No bus arrived. Taxis and public transportation were far beyond reach. The only thing in sight was a pair of golden arches.
"If the sun sets and the mafia comes out, we can stay at the American embassy," Bogdan concluded. He indicated the McDonald's.
Suddenly, the giant M shone as a welcome beacon of familiarity. We embraced it. For the rest of our journey, the chain's boldly colored huts provided us with WiFi, English speaking employees, and recognizable edibles. On lucky days, we found outposts that kept soft American cookies baking on hot plates behind the counter.
We salute McDonald's for its backpacker comforts, in addition to its sumptuous one dollar/euro/pound/lira frozen yogurt.

So I rarely tap local ass. Not tappin' nearly as much ass as I had been, but local ass is even less, next to never.
Friend txt me and says "Yo I got dick for you. Get up and come get it." I ignored her for a week or so, then started txting HR Block. Wasn't over impressed but was in need of new local ass so I pursued. He was very smart/funny one night so I ended up going to his place at 12:30am.
He was very much a considerate host and gentleman. Maybe a little too much so but it's the Sahara desert when it comes to manners from a fuck buddy so I fucked him. A little light on time spent actually inside me but heavy on attention to my orgasm.
In the morning I leave and before I get home there's txt from him saying he'll be thinking of me all day. Ought-oh. Feels like a cling-on is about to emerge and ruin quality d.

Ever heard people referring to having an eclectic taste in interior design and immediately had a mental image of a room with crazy patterns, colours and mismatched furniture thrown together? While an eclectic style allows you to be daring and adventurous, it does not mean you should be randomly gathering different items and throwing them into the same space.
While the idea is to incorporate different styles, textures and patterns, there is actually a lot more to successfully creating an eclectic interior. And if done right, it can be a really fun way of creating a very unique interior that is filled with your personal style and the things you love!
The perfect eclectic interior is cohesive, yet collected, trendy yet timeless, blending tradition, cultural motifs and high quality design to create a space that is totally unique.
While your styling should be guided by your personal taste, furniture pieces you adore and combining different decor elements that you love, you should still create a balanced and unified space.
Layered Look
Make use of rugs and throws to create a sense of depth and visual appeal. Layering also make for a space that feels lived-in and comfortable.
Use a mix of textures and prints – ethnic prints work very well in an eclectic space. But be sure to keep the colour scheme in mind and not have too many contrasting layers vying for attention. Our Mali Mud Cloth Throw is perfect for creating a contemporary eclectic feel in your bedroom or lounge.
Gallery Wall
Gallery walls are a staple of this style. Pairing pieces of varying heights, sizes and styles lends a hand to the eclectic look.
If you are looking for some inspiration to begin creating your gallery wall, be sure to browse our collection of art prints by the very talented Australian artist, Natalie Briney.
Organised Chaos
Nothing says contemporary eclectic like combining styles. Take a few risks and combine contrasting styles, for example wooden furniture decor combined with a few industrial pieces, or mix older pieces with modern design elements.
Have fun with your decor by really showing of your personal style and tastes. Showcase items that you have fallen in love with or buy a few unique pieces to display.
Make it even more interesting by mixing up your displays. Place paintings or art prints on the floor or on a shelf, rather than hanging it against the wall. Baskets are another great eclectic decor item. Use our selection of handmade African baskets as a feature against the wall, for decorative storage, or even as a planter.
Create Unity
The nature of eclectic style is diverse, but that doesn't mean each room in your home should look completely different from the next. Create unity and flow by using a neutral backdrop such as a subtle wall paint, incorporating a few minimalist furniture pieces, and having a few neutral toned accessories. Then pick a colour or two that will be the focus in each of your rooms. Make sure that colour is shown in different shades or small accents in your rugs, paintings, and other decorative objects.
Inspiration is the foundation for eclectic style. Use the tips above and embrace your own personal design flair to create a space that is uniquely you!

Justin Dueck has been the sole owner and full-time staff at Top Stitch Upholstery Design for less than five months, but he's already designed, built and upholstered some incredible work. He spends about half of his time re-upolstering older pieces for businesses like Scandinavian Modern (known for their meticulous attention to detail) and the other half doing custom upholstery. His latest undertaking, a huge job for brand new The Merchant Kitchen, showcases his exceptional talent. As you enter The Merchant, you'll notice a long, red, floating bench; along the windows inside the restaurant are other benches of ebonized wood; and between the expansive bar and kitchen are what Justin refers to as daybeds - low, upholstered bench seating in a patchwork of colours. They're trendy and yet simultaneously reminiscent of a familiar patchwork quilt. Finally, opulent, tufted booth seating draws your eye to the far corner wall. In a deep red, they are impressive in both their richness and comfort. All of this is Justin's handiwork.
FBWS - What about this job would you like to highlight? Is there anything you're particularly proud of?
JD - The daybeds. There's really nothing else like them in the city. The low backs create a really social environment and putting together the different pieces of fabric was a lot of fun.
FBWS - How did you get into custom building and upholstery?
JD- I worked in the workshop with my dad. He was a master brick layer up until around the time I was born. And then, because brick laying's more of a seasonal job, he would do side jobs that included a lot of woodworking. So I watched him, and had a full workshop at my disposal. After high school, I went to Germany for six months. I came back and started working in construction doing framing for buildings. But I still had the travel bug. So I went back and worked in Sweden. I was doing building restoration there and actually ended up doing a bit of upholstery. I learned some of the basics. After my time in Sweden, I cam back to construction in December and minus 30 temperatures. My boss kept giving me time off [because of the weather] so I started working for a furniture building company. I was developing good relationships with clients and they really liked working with me, and I thought rather than communicating what they wanted to the upholsterers, I could just do it myself.
FBWS - How did you become Top Stitch Upholstery Design?
JD - I started out as an employee. The plan was always for me to buy the business from the owner then. It started as a five-year plan, but got accelerated to a two-year plan. He was ready to move on to other things.
FBWS - So does that mean you did all of the work here at The Merchant on your own?
JD - No, no, I hired five different part-time workers to help me at different stages of the process. That's actually been one of the hardest things about this business is finding people who can do the work. I would love to grow and take on more work, but it's hard to find people.
FBWS - Are there other aspects to your job that you find challenging?
JD - Creating a piece that isn't only nice to look at, but is comfortable to sit on. That's always the challenge.
FBWS - So I know you've only owned Top Stitch since January, but do you have a vision for where you want things to go? Are there some types of work you're drawn to more than others?
JD - I really love the diversity of doing different kinds of projects. I love doing big projects, like this one with Merchant, but I also like to just work on a single chair. I just finished a love seat for Scandinavian Modern and it was a four hour job. It's nice to be able to start and finish in one day.
FBWS - I imagine too that's it's nice not to have to do creative work all the time. You have the opportunity to use that part of your brain with custom jobs, but you can also learn from what others have done with re-upolstery.
JD - For sure. When I was in high school, I was interested in graphic design, and my plan was to pursue that, and I love that as well. At the time, my dad did some work with publishing and there were clients who had content, but didn't have a cover, so my dad said, "My son can design a cover for you." So I designed covers for low-budget books. Which was fine; I was in high school. But in the end I decided that field wasn't for me. As a creative, you can work really hard, a client will tell you, "Bring me five ideas," and then go, "No, none of these." So this work has times where you're creative, but other times you're following the paths of the old masters, replicating what they've done.
FBWS - What's next for you?
JD - I've got some smaller reupholstery jobs on the go right now, and a few new restaurants have expressed interest. We're still in the development stage, with more work to come in the fall.
You can check out Justin's work at newly opened The Merchant Kitchen (inside the brand new Alt Hotel). While you're at it, sip a cocktail and try out the Asian-Latin fusion cooking.

A 22-year-old man who was shot Friday in the Calumet Heights neighborhood on the South Side has died, according to officials.
Preliminary reports said the man was a passenger inside of a car that was stopped at the 9300 block of South Stony Island Avenue when a black 4-door vehicle pulled along side and opened fire, said Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada.
The man was identified as William Lomax, of the 10700 block of South Yates Avenue. An autopsy conducted Saturday determined that he died of multiple gunshot wounds and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Lomax, who was the front-seat passenger, was driven to a restaurant on the 8800 block of South Stony Island where the police and paramedics were called, said Estrada.
The man was taken to john H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County in serious to critical condition with wounds to his right torso and back, according to Chicago Fire Department officials and police.

GPAs and Coursework
ADEA AADSAS uses the information which you have entered in the coursework section of your application to calculate several tables of GPAs for each applicant. Please review the ADEA AADSAS Verification Guide: GPA Calculations for futher details. For a list of courses that are considered under the BCP and Science GPA, please refer to the AADSAS course list.
Which GPAs does the AADSAS calculate?
ADEA AADSAS calculates GPA and reports it in a number of ways:
- BCP GPA: All undergraduate, graduate and cumulative courses identified on transcripts as biology, chemistry or physics.
- Science GPA: All undergraduate, graduate and cumulative courses identified on the transcript as biology, chemistry, physics or other science.
- Nonscience GPA: All undergraduate, graduate and cumulative courses not used in calculating the science GPA.
- Undergraduate GPA: All courses for which undergraduate credit is received.
- Graduate GPA: All courses for which graduate credit is received.
- Overall GPA: Includes undergraduate and graduate courses. For most dental school applicants who have not completed graduate courses, the overall GPA is the same as the undergraduate GPA.
- College/university GPAs: GPAs are reported for each college/university attended.
The following course types are not included in ADEA AADSAS GPA calculations:
- Advanced Placement/CLEP.
- Institutional Department Exam.
- Audit.
- International Baccalaureate.
- Incomplete.
- Pass/fail.
- Withdraw/withdraw passing.
- Grades of "P" or "Credit."
ADEA AADSAS includes all initial and repeated coursework in its GPA calculations.
Grades and credit hours for all failed courses will be included in the ADEA AADSAS GPA, even if they are not included in the GPA calculations of the transcript-issuing institution.
In ADEA AADSAS, repeated courses are factored into the AADSAS GPA calculations. If the applicant received a "F" grade in a course, and repeated the course and received a "B", both grades will be factored in the AADSAS GPA calculations. AADSAS factors all grades no matter how many times the course was taken. There is no grade replacement.
In ADEA AADSAS, non-major science courses are included in the AADSAS GPA calculations. All GPAs are based solely on the course subject classification (see reference above). Courses classified on the transcript as Biology, Chemistry and Physics are calculated in the BCP GPA calculation. BCP courses plus math and other science based courses (i.e., astronomy, geology, etc.), are calculated in the science GPA, regardless if they are required for the major.
ADEA AADSAS factors all courses into the GPA calculations, regardless of the institution policy or where the course was taken. If the course appears on the official transcript with a grade/credit, it will be included in the ADEA AADSAS GPAs.
In ADEA AADSAS, applicants must enter all courses on the AADSAS application. If a student is in a special academic forgiveness program, AADSAS will factor the grade in the GPA calculation.

Until now, UBI programs have been burdened by costly OBD devices, complex rollouts and seven-figure budgets. Add that to the fact that consumers don't like crawling under their dashes and going to their mechanics for OBD electrical system interference, and it's easy to see why the traditional Usage Based Insurance formula needs some tweaking.
Apparently, the idea of this Forex software was of Lars who allegedly developed a Forex system with a 75% success rate. His brother saw the flaws in the outdated code and applied his very own 'blazing fast math algorithm' which was designed to minimize Boolean functions. Their combined efforts are said to have turned the system into a self-described 'unstoppable beast' capable of earning more than just satisfying daily profits to its members.
The Blazing Trader review describes its intimate dependence on the blockchain technology which is its underlying working principle. In fact, this technology provides the complete assurance in terms of timely delivery and payment to its traders or buyers through the process of the trade asset tokenization.
- A buyer should be able to transparently view all the present and possible status of the in-transit shipment to obtain the timely indication of all possible delays and damages that negatively affect the fulfillment of downstream obligations.
Mostly, the insight is often lacked into route delays and delivery damages occurring due to weather conditions, customs holding or congestion in certain areas. This further limit the foreseeing capacity and there exists no way to tackle the associated business risk.
- There are also chances of the trade documents moving separately from the good flows and there seems no interconnection between the two. This creates situations that these traded goods can either be claimed by the customers or can hold to it anymore. Further, this condition prevails until the physical documents or the title is attained back.
Moreover, there can also be chances of mitigating or manipulating the documents that can lead to misleading in the transport chain and further resulting in the fragmented interactions between its stakeholders and so. There can be vulnerabilities and variations within the country's regulation status for trading procedures and overall it can lack the essence of standards and security. Such a condition can increase the risk of fraud documentation for the trading parties.
By employing blockchain, the traded asset can be digitized through crypto-tokens and tagged with the ownership of the bearer and avoiding all kind of confusions that otherwise arise.
First of all, we think that the complicated and complex method implemented into this system's functionality is fake and unreal as the only purpose of the two men obviously is to make people believe the software is something amazing and unheard of. Secondly, there is nothing to prove that this trading algorithm really works properly.

Secret Service director resigns
Secret Service Director Julia Pierson resigned Wednesday amid rising discontent in Congress over her leadership following an incident last month in which an armed man hopped a fence at the White House and made it inside.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Wednesday he accepted Pierson's resignation, adding "I salute her 30 years of distinguished service to the Secret Service and the nation."
Obama called Pierson and thanked her for her service, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said. He noted Pierson on Tuesday had taken responsibility for the latest mishap to befall the agency.
"She took responsibility for the shortcomings of the agency that she led, and she took responsibility for fixing them," Earnest said. "That, quite simply, I think, is a testament to her professionalism and to her character."
But, Earnest added as more revelations about Secret Service problems were revealed, "The president concluded that new leadership of the agency was required."
As Pierson was testifying before Congress on Tuesday, news reports said agency protocols failed during Obama's recent trip to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. The president apparently shared an elevator with a security contractor who was carrying a gun and had three criminal convictions for assault and battery on his record.
Earnest said the White House didn't learn about the incident "until shortly before it was reported" by news organizations on Tuesday.
He said Obama continues to have "full confidence in the men and women of the Secret Service" to keep him and his family protected.
Obama does not have a timetable for replacing Pierson, Earnest said, but recommended to Johnson that Joseph Clancy, formerly Special Agent in Charge of the Presidential Protective Division of the Secret Service, will be named as acting agency director. Clancy retired from the Secret Service in 2011.
Earnest noted that Clancy will be taking a leave of absence from his non-government job to return to the agency.
"The president is grateful that he has taken on that very important responsibility," Earnest said, adding Clancy was "somebody who has earned the respect and admiration of the men and women who are his colleagues at the United States Secret Service."
And Earnest said Clancy "is also somebody who has the full confidence of the president and the first lady."
Johnson has also asked Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas to take over an ongoing inquiry by the Secret Service of the fence jumping incident at the White House on Sept. 19 and called for the findings to be submitted by Nov. 1.
And, Johnson said, he's decided that "scrutiny by a distinguished panel of independent experts of the Sept. 19 incident and related issues concerning the Secret Service is warranted."
He said the members would be named shortly, and by Dec. 15 would submit recommendations concerning White House security.
Johnson said he'd also ask the panel for recommendations for potential new Secret Service directors, including candidates outside the Secret Service.
He said he'd also ask the panel to advise him whether it believes there should be a review of "broader issues concerning the Secret Service," but added that White House security should be the group's "primary and immediate priority."
Johnson called the Secret Service "one of the finest official protection services in the world" and noted that the agency last week protected Obama and 140 visiting heads of state or government at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City and in August handled protective services for 60 world leaders at the African Summit in Washington.
"As usual, the Secret Service executed these highly complex and demanding assignments without incident," Johnson said. "There is no other protection service in the world that could have done this."
Pierson, whom Obama appointed in 2013 in the wake of a prostitution scandal that had rattled the agency, pledged to Congress that an incident like the fence jumper would never be repeated.
But she faced mounting pressure Wednesday to show results or step down. Leading Democrats said they had lost faith in Pierson's ability to restore trust in the agency, which has suffered a series of embarrassing mishaps. They joined with Republicans in calling for an independent investigation to find out how the agency could have allowed a man with a knife in his pocket to gain entry to the White House.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday he backs Homeland Security Committee chairman Mike McCaul's plan for a "blue ribbon commission" to conduct a comprehensive review of the agency.
"Given the Secret Service's proud history and the duties it is charged with, we are right to expect nothing but candor and clarity from its leaders, particularly at a time when Americans are as aware as ever that we live in a dangerous world," Boehner said, adding that Pierson's testimony on Tuesday had "created more questions than answers."
He stopped short of calling for Pierson to step down, but noted that Obama "must make a swift determination on whether the agency is being well-served by its current leadership."
Pelosi said she, too, believes an independent investigation should be launched, calling "inexcusable" that someone would jump over the fence and get into the White House and "inexcusable" that someone would be on the elevator with Obama with a weapon.
"I think an independent investigation is what is needed, not just to hold people accountable but to see how we should go forward in a way that, again, has precision, accountability and is flawless because the protection of the president is really important to our reputation, the reputation of the Secret Service," she said.
She too, stopped short of calling for Pierson's resignation, saying she agrees with Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, who told CNN on Wednesday that he wants Pierson to step down "if she cannot restore trust in the agency and if she cannot get the culture back in order."
A Cummings aide said Cummings spoke with Pierson today and believes "that if she can't restore the public's trust in the agency – and in particular address the cultural issues so agents feel comfortable raising security concerns to their higher-ups – then of course she should not be in that position."
The aide said Cummings' "trust is eroding, and he believes there needs to be an independent review of the agency."
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said earlier Wednesday that Obama "and everybody here at the White House stand solidly behind all of the men and women in the Secret Service, including the director of the Secret Service."
He told CNN the agency's employees "are professionals who have a very difficult job and every day they wake up prepared to put their life on the line to protect the White House, to protect the president, to protect the first family."
He noted it was "clear, however, that there are some reforms that need to be implemented to bolster that security, particularly here at the White House."
