Recently there was an article which reinforced many of the same issues that mobile app developers and QA teams are running into during development and post-release. They include such things as device diversity, OS diversity, and even organizational diversity, especially prevalant in enterprise organizations. One key struggle was the "tedious process" of manually testing each and every device, from phones to tablets. If you add in the number of test cases that have to be created to support the volume of devices you want them to run on, it can create very daunting task.
In the article the author writes "Manual testing (for mobile) can be a tedious process that involves many man-hours to be quite expensive. It can also lead to errors, because of the human trials. However, manual testing serves an important purpose because it provides a method to receive valuable information about the usability of the application. For mobile applications, the usefulness is a very important factor. In fact, in many applications the use of the only unique selling proposition (USP). That's what happened, it is very difficult to imagine how easy it is for them, if people do not interact with it on a real mobile device.
Continuous testing of mobile applications - How you can ensure continuous testing while developing mobile applications How do you ensure that updates and upgrades work correctly answer is fingers and eyes! Many mobile devices and applications that can not be avoided for the fingers and the eyes of the method is the only way to test the application, at least in this situation. Manual testing should be performed in the cycle before it begins and life after the release of the application. Despite the advantages smells, manual testing can also be disrupted by the following reasons: Drastically slow down the development process and it leaves a wide margin for error."
Hence, the need for automation. This provides the ability to remotely automate your test cases on mobile devices, from anywhere in the world. This advanced "scripting" and "recording" technology finally provides the tools necessary for efficient mobile testing. Supplemented with manual testing on new devices, it can provide the perfect balance between efficiency and optimization to ensure the highest quality of any mobile app or website.

AMERICUS - After struggling at the plate in a 5-1 loss to Georgia College in Game 1 of Tuesday's Peach Belt Conference softball doubleheader at Lady 'Canes Field, Georgia Southwestern jumped to a 6-0 lead in the first inning of Game 2 and held on for a 9-7 victory.
It was only the second win over Georgia College in the last 10 meetings for the Lady Hurricanes. GSW improves to 13-19 overall, 3-7 PBC. Georgia College dips to 8-25, 3-3 PBC.
The teams combined to score all six runs in the first two innings of the opener. Georgia College put three runs on the board in the first, highlighted by a two-run double from Hayley Burnett.
GSW plated its lone run in the bottom of the frame when Nichole Griffin's single got past the left fielder, allowing Mason Moreland to score from first.
The Bobcats added two more runs in the second, behind a two-run double from Anna Parker.
Christie Shankle (1-8) struggled and took the loss after 1 2/3 innings of action. She surrendered seven hits and two walks, accounting for all five GC runs. Katie Maddox threw 5 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, walking four and striking out four.
Sabrina Chandler (5-10) allowed the one unearned run, scattering three hits while walking two and striking out three.
The Lady Hurricanes did not have a batter with multiple hits.
In the nightcap, GSW scored six runs in the first, two in the fourth and another in the fifth while withstanding a GC comeback bid to win 9-7.
Griffin doubled in a run and Gabby Buck, Hayley Knight, Erin Vick and Jessica Chewning collected RBIs to lead Southwestern in its six-run first inning.
Georgia College scored a pair in the third, but GSW answered with two in the fourth coming from a Robyn Butler RBI-double and a Knight RBI-single.
GC made things interesting in the fifth behind four runs on one hit. With two runs already in, the bases loaded and one out, Shahlisa Shirley hit a ground ball back to GSW pitcher Jessica Martin, who threw home for the force out. An errant throw to first in the double-play attempt allowed two more runners crossed home, making the score 8-6.
GSW added another insurance run in the bottom half of the fifth when Buck doubled-home Griffin from third.
GC scored its final run in the sixth to pull within two, but was held in check by GSW starting pitcher Jessica Martin the rest of the way. Martin (6-5) worked out of jams in the sixth and seventh innings to earn her team-high sixth win of the spring. She was charged with seven runs in the complete-game effort, although only four were earned. Martin walked seven and struck out one.
Chelsie Huffman (1-4) did not make it out of the first inning for GC. Huffman allowed six runs in 1/3 inning, facing eight batters. She walked four and surrendered three hits. Caitlin Duvall pitched the final 5 2/3 innings, giving up three runs on nine hits.
Knight finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored to lead GSW in Game 2. Griffin went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and a triple. Cayla Smith was 2-for-2 with a walk.
The Lady 'Canes return to the diamond on Thursday to host Thomas (Ga.) in a non-conference doubleheader beginning at 5 p.m.

As we begin to vaccinate calves, do not forget to vaccinate adult cattle. A healthy and well immunized calf starts with the vaccination of the cow.
The first benefit of vaccinating cows is preventing pregnancy abortions. Disease antigens, such as Leptospirosis and Campylobacter, are common reproductive components of vaccines. Giving these vaccines to our cows can increase the number of cows that become pregnant and carry a calf to term.
It is easy to correlate use of these vaccines with cow pregnancy rates. Often, they are given in conjunction with a "five-way" vaccine, a combination product that contains antigens for BVD (bovine viral diarrhea), IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis), parainfluenza 3 and BRSV (bovine respiratory syncytial virus). The BVD vaccine also helps prevent the cycle of persistently
infected BVD calves.
Be sure vaccines are given at the proper time. I prefer modified live vaccines to be given before breeding while the cow is open. Although some modified-live five-way vaccines are labeled for pregnant cows, it is still best to administer them before breeding for maximum protection during pregnancy. The cow's immune system will also respond better to vaccines at this stage.
Improperly and/or misused vaccines can be ineffective or detrimental—causing abortions, etc.—so consult your veterinarian before designing your protocol.
Healthy colostrum. The forgotten benefit of vaccinating the cow is the priming of the colostrum. We continue to see more data proving the importance of a calf receiving the first mother's milk. Colostrum provides the baby's first immune response and impacts the calf's growth throughout its life.
Vaccinating the cow increases the quality of the colostrum she will produce for the calf, decreases the prevalence of calf scours and BRD and leads to more pounds of calf to sell at the end of the growing season.
Adult animals are more capable of fighting off infections but may still expose others in the herd. By vaccinating the adults, we can reduce the amount of pathogens that young animals are exposed to.

Earn 5% Back in rewards4 plus free standard shipping3every day when you shop with your Williams Sonoma credit card at Williams Sonoma.Apply Now Learn More
- Summary
Made to the exacting standards of Japanese professional chefs, Global's award-winning knives are an excellent choice for the discerning home cook. Designed with an extra-wide blade, this vegetable knife is ideal for efficient chopping, dicing and slicing.
- Stamped blade is made of exceptionally hard Cromova 18 high-carbon stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to resist corrosion.
- Prominent 1/4" edge is visible to the naked eye and ground straight to a point rather than beveled resulting in impressive sharpness and edge retention.
- Stainless-steel handle is seamlessly constructed and textured for a good grip.
- Crafted to professional standards, this knife is lightweight yet perfectly balanced.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 7" long blade.
- Made in Japan.
- Use & Care
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone or frozen food, as the blade can be easily damaged.
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
- Use the honing steel only when you feel the knife has lost some of its original sharpness, usually no sooner than six months after its first use. As you continue to use your Global knife, it will require more frequent honing. If you need to hone your knife more than once every two weeks, it is time to have it sharpened.
- Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ransom423 from My Go-To Knife! Saw Food Network stars using this knife many times during various shows, so I decided to give it a shot. Now I see why this knife is so popular. I use it more than any of my knives, including my Santoku. This knife is a perfect blend between a chef's, Santoku, and Nakiri knife. It does a beautiful job with slicing, dicing, and chopping. Most versatile knife I've ever used.Date published: 2018-02-08Rated 5 out of 5 by fibi from Very useful and versatile knife This is a very convenient knife for anyone with medium size hands who like a well balanced piece of cutlery. Has a nice weight that really helps controlling the knife w/o any fatigue. Very versatile for chopping, slicing and any other knife work. Can be used with the rocking motion and up and down motion. Globals' quality is superb as always, and the blade is extremely sharp OOTB.Date published: 2015-09-14Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyMomDJD from Great every day knife Very light, well balanced, easy to transfer chopped item from the cutting board. Best for veggie/fruit, soft food. not designed for frozen/hard food item.Date published: 2015-08-13Rated 5 out of 5 by CaliTexan from Superb Knife! Love this knife! Excellent balance,sharp blade and comfortable handle. The one piece construction makes for a more sanitary knife as you do not have to worry about bacteria hiding out in crevices when the handle and tang start to separate in traditional knife handles. As a vegan I was looking for a knife that could stand up to dense veggies and still mince soft herbs, all without the sharp tip of a chef's knife. I found it in the Global Hollow Ground Vegetable Knife.Date published: 2014-09-17

Long before we started reporting on [Dan Kaminsky]'s DNS chicanery, he contributed a guest post about one of our favorite sources of new technology: SIGGRAPH. The stars have aligned again and we're happy to bring you his analysis of this year's convention. [photo: Phong Nguyen]
So, last week, I had the pleasure of being stabbed, scanned, physically simulated, and synthetically defocused. Clearly, I must have been at SIGGRAPH 2008, the world's biggest computer graphics conference. While it usually conflicts with Black Hat, this year I actually got to stop by, though a bit of a cold kept me from enjoying as much of it as I'd have liked. Still, I did get to walk the exhibition floor, and the papers (and videos) are all online, so I do get to write this (blissfully DNS and security unrelated) report.

The African Lion needs our help.
Hope for Lions through Protection
Some of you might remember when we talked about The African Lion Hope through Protection last year. If so, you might remember that on March 1, 2011, an alliance of wildlife protection and conservation groups petitioned the Secretary of the Interior to list the African lion as an endangered subspecies pursuant to the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA). These groups included Born Free USA and Born Free Foundation, Defenders of Wildlife, The Fund for Animals, Humane Society International and The Humane Society of the United States and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
The USA is the world's largest importer of sport-hunted African Lion trophies
The United States is the world's largest importer of African lion parts, for hunting trophies and for commercial use. From 1999 and 2008, 7090 lions from a wild source were traded internationally for recreational hunting purposes. Most of these lions, 64% of the total, were imported to the United States. Even though there has been a continuous population and range decline for the lion, the United States lion trophy imports have increased. Imports in 2008 were larger than any other year in the decade and twice the 1999 number. The Endangered Species Listing would make a significant difference to crackdown the trophy trade. A listing under the ESA would put strict controls on the import of lion "trophies" by Americans, and would ban the commercial trade of lion parts in the United States.
African Lions are the ONLY big cat not protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act!
On November 26, 2012, the U.S. government issued a favorable finding that a listing may be warranted, but before making a final decision, they've allowed for a 60 day public comment period. They want to hear from you. African lions are the only big cat not protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
Take Action! Please add your signature and comment in favor of the ESA listing for the African Lion now!

Rated 3 out of 5 by frankentrotter from one major flaw I like the shape, size, color of this bowl. All things considered, the texture/thickness of the porcelain is great for the price, there's no significant scratch after several month of use, and the fact that they are made in Japan, not China is a huge plus. However, I find that this bowl is NOT good for hot foods- the bottom is not tempered so it is not possible to hold it in hand if you have hot soup for example. WS should improve this design.Date published: 2016-07-28Rated 5 out of 5 by LorrieMD5 from Best Breakfast Bowls These bowls are a perfect size. They hold cereal with plenty of room for fruit and milk. These bowls are durable and stackable.Date published: 2015-11-11Rated 5 out of 5 by RooksterCookster from The Perfect Cereal Bowls My husband and I originally registered for the Pulluvyt Coupe Cereal Bowls. After thinking it out (and after the wedding), we decided to purchase these instead. They're more than half the cost of the other ones and exactly what we wanted. Get this, they still match our Pulluvyt tableware (which is great). For those who like to eat their cereal on the couch, they're the perfect size to grip in one hand and spoon feed yourself with the other. Best cereal bowls we've ever owned! Why they don't sell them at the stores, I don't know. I'm positive Williams-Sonoma would sell more sets if they also sold the Brasserie line in stores (or any tableware sets in general as oppose to each plate/bowl/etc individually) .Date published: 2014-06-05Rated 5 out of 5 by CatherineCooks from They don't break, but they DO disappear! I bought 12 place settings of Brasserie All-White in 2000. The china has graced my table daily with its simple elegance for 13 years now and I have never broken a piece. However, about a year after I first purchased it, I noticed that when my daughter returned to college after Christmas vacation, my cereal bowl count had suddenly dropped from 12 to 8! In the past year, my beloved daughter advised that she had broken one of "her" cereal bowls. I am ordering 8 cereal bowls, one to replace "her" broken one, four to replace those that disappeared from my inventory, and two for future need. I love these bowls. Only quality like this facilitates the development of cherished family lore--others would have all broken by now.Date published: 2013-10-28Rated 5 out of 5 by NathanH from Good bowls. So yeah, they're bowls. They're a clean, attractive, modern design; they have some good heft to them; they have good capacity. I've only had them for a couple of weeks, and haven't bothered to drop any yet (and don't really plan to) so I can't speak to durability, but they haven't accumulated any scratches, stains or marks yet. They do get hot in the microwave, so they're a bit difficult to pick up after heating up chili or something, but that's fairly universal among bowls. The shape of these doesn't help that issue, but I like the aesthetic, so I don't complain.Date published: 2013-03-01Rated 4 out of 5 by MnSarah from Good but not great I received a set of bowls with one damaged during delivery. I called customer service and the replacement was delivered fast. Overall, the bowls are good but I noticed there are uneven glaze outside of the bowls. Those porcelain bowls are easy to clean up, no grey mark ( from utensil) left like my old stoneware. I am planning to get a set in the future.Date published: 2012-08-20Rated 5 out of 5 by apf1234 from Sturdy, handsome bowl My husband & dog collaboratively broke all of our previous bowls. I bought 8 of these as replacements, and they have stood up well to being dropped/knocked off our table/counter. NONE of them have broken (or even chipped). Plus they look great with our other white plates etc.Date published: 2012-07-02Rated 5 out of 5 by DougB from Excellent Bowls Great for cereal, soup, gumbo you name it. keeps food hot and are easy to clean.

If you're the sort of person who reads Discovering Your Awesome, which you clearly are, you've probably experienced the get-under-your-skin discomfort of feeling like you don't belong. Not a "I walked into the wrong classroom" not belonging, but the insidious and irrational conviction that whatever group you're in, wherever you are, is a mistake. That you have somehow tricked the gatekeepers into letting you in and now are at constant risk of being found out and kicked out.
Ah, Impostor Syndrome.
Impostor Syndrome is the worst kind of 'friend', the sort that perches on your shoulder and whispers into your ear everything that will go wrong in this scenario.
Can't draw attention to yourself– then they'll realize you're a fake.
Can't deviate from the norm– then they'll see your true colors.
Can't mess up– then they'll know you're an impostor.
This is a terrible, vicious mental trap on an individual level, and a downright disastrous one when exposed to a group. Individualized impostor syndrome on its own is bad enough, and widely discussed. It's the goal-killer, the hope crusher, the reason you cannot give yourself permission to start, never mind succeed. What I want to explore is what happens when you take impostor syndrome out of the vacuum in which most discussions place it, and discover it in group settings.
The group dynamics, especially as they are perceived by an individual, change dramatically.
First, impostor syndrome creates a low-level state of constant anxiety as you try to avoid detection. Think of it like being an undercover spy, except your goal isn't gathering intel and getting out: it's staying as long as possible until you're found out. We can compare this to the old Atari games–there was no way to win; you simply tried to not lose as the game became progressively harder. Eventually the aliens won and Earth was destroyed. The baseline anxiety created by being constantly undercover can and will increase as the situation 'demands', interfering with any goals or social interactions you hope to accomplish.
Impostor syndrome also leads people to participate in the I'm More Broken than You game in an attempt to remain undetected for longer. This is the part where the undercover agent is fluent in the native language of wherever they're hiding. If it's a sports team and you hear other people praise the teammate who finished the game despite suffering a concussion that they kept hidden, you're more likely to minimize your own injuries, because you've seen that behaviour rewarded. If you're in academia, and your peers humble brag about the all-nighter they pulled to finish their term paper and write the final for the undergrad course they're teaching, you'll learn that sleep deprivation is an acceptable way to handle overwhelm. If you're in a male-dominated profession and are constantly exposed to sexist comments about women, even the supposedly 'harmless' ones (spoiler: they're all harmful), a part of you risks internalizing that.
I'm not saying that your environment will slowly corrupt you into acting like a person you don't want to be. What I am saying is that social pressure is powerful, and when a part of your brain has you convinced that you don't belong there, your brain loses some of its ability to filter out actions and thoughts it would normally disagree with.
Now imagine that most everyone in a given group is struggling with Impostor Syndrome, terrified of being found out and ridiculed. How likely is that group going to be able to affect positive change from within?
Yeah, not so likely.
But there is good news. Most everyone is undercover, which means that you're not alone. That can be really hard for your brain to accept–no one else looks like they're panicking on the inside. But neither do you. Remember, you're all undercover, and you're all really good at it. What people don't realize is that you're all agents from the same department.
Which department? The Department of Capable Adulthood and Not Making a Mess of Life.
Everyone belongs in this department, with very few exceptions (if you're reading this, you're in the department–go, you!) People might be at different levels in said department, but everyone gets the Impostor Syndrome challenge at some point. So far as I can tell, the trick to working through Impostor Syndrome, especially as it applies to groups, is twofold:
First, remember that everyone is either going through this challenge, or has been through this challenge. They are too worried about you figuring out that they don't belong, to try and determine if you don't belong.
Second, because everyone is either dealing with Impostor Syndrome in some way or has already beat that round, they'll know where you're coming from. One of the things I've found helpful is talking about Impostor Syndrome (or writing about it, QED). Getting reassurances from the people around you, seeing their initial bafflement when you share your concerns about not belonging, can do wonders with putting your brain at ease. It is not cheating to receive reassurance. This mission is not actually top secret, and they're in your department anyways.
Impostor Syndrome is not the most pleasant experience, particularly as a reoccurring one. However, mitigating the effects of Impostor Syndrome, both for the individual and within group dynamics, is doable. The best part about being an undercover agent is the debriefing and return to civilian life that comes when you realize that a, you belong, and b, you don't have to be undercover if you don't want to be.

The above video is a presentation by Peter Attia, M.D.
His talk is somewhat technical, but I always write blog posts hoping 20,000 people will *love* them, not that 1,000,000 will *like* them.
In this presentation, you will learn (in my words, not Pete's):
– More about nutrition than most MDs learn in med school.
– How ketosis-adapted performance can aid fat loss and high-altitude resilience.
– Why the calorie estimates on treadmills and stationary bikes are complete BS.
– The three primary systems of energy production and basic organic chemistry, both of which aid understanding of all athletics.
Even if you struggle a little with vocabulary, the first 30 minutes are well worth watching a few times.
This talk made me immediately want to jump back on the Cyclical (or "Cyclic") Ketogenic Diet (CKD), which was conceptually introduced to me in 1996-1998 by the writing of Lyle McDonald, Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale, and the late Dan Duchaine. It's incredible for simultaneous fat loss and lean muscle gain, though perhaps needlessly complicated for non-athletes.
I usually limited the carb-reloading period to 12-18 hours after a glycogen depletion workout on Saturdays, though I experimented with moderate Wed night carb-ups while training for sports like kickboxing.
If you've experimented with ketosis, what was your approach and experience? Pros and cons?
For additional reading, I suggest the following posts by Dr. Attia:

Closer Huston Street went on the disabled list Saturday for what the Padres expect will be more than the 15-day minimum while left-hander Cory Luebke contemplated his future and possible elbow reconstruction surgery.
Street suffered a strained latissimus dorsi muscle while working in the 10th inning Friday night.
"I'd venture to say Street won't be ready when he's eligible to return (May 21)," said Padres manager Bud Black. "This will be more time than 15 days."
"I don't think it's major, it's nothing that is going to require surgery," said Street, who exited in the middle of the 10th Friday when he felt pain in the muscle just below his right shoulder.
"All I know is that they said there is no specific timetable with this injury," said Street, who said he was sorer than the night before.
As for Luebke, the 27-year-old left-handed starter is facing the possibility of "Tommy John" surgery to replace the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow.
But in meeting with the media Saturday afternoon, Luebke worked around the word "surgery" as much as possible.
"All the symptoms are pointing in a certain way . . . to ligament damage," Luebke said of the results of an MRI on his elbow taken Wednesday. "It's one of those injuries that can bite you."
Luebke had an MRI taken of his elbow in March as the Padres prepared to extend his contract, a document committing Luebke to the Padres through the 2017 season and worth between $12 and $27.25 million.
That MRI showed a healthy elbow. The one Wednesday showed damage to the ligament and flexor tendon plus fluid in the elbow.
"That's why it hit me," said Luebke. "You see how things can change in a few weeks."
Luebke said he wants to put off any decisions until the swelling goes down and the elbow can be re-evaluated. "Nothing is scheduled, we'll see how it goes for a week," said the pitcher. "I realize surgery is an option.
"It's disheartening, it's frustrating. When I tried to throw, the effort was exceeding what was coming out. The big thing, I'd hate being away from the game for a long time. I'm 27, I've been playing ball all my life and I've never missed a start."
Black said Luebke is "resting, getting treatment and plotting a course of action" with "no definitive plan on what is ahead."
Bullpen shuffle
The Padres promoted right-handed relief pitcher Miles Mikolas from Double-A San Antonio to take Street's spot on the 25-man roster.
Black said Andrew Cashner would become the Padres primary closer in Street's absence but that Luke Gregerson and Dale Thayer could get opportunities.
Mikolas, 23, a seventh-round pick in the 2009 draft, was 1-1 with four saves and a 2.92 earned run average in 12 appearances with the Missions. He was with the Padres during spring training.
Mikolas was in San Antonio when he got the call from the Padres at 8 a.m. Saturday. He caught a non-stop, 12:30 flight to San Diego and headed straight to Petco Park after landing.
The Padres bullpen is stocked with pitchers who have 398 minor league saves but only four in the major leagues (Gregerson three, Thayer one). Thayer has 173 saves in the minors. Brad Brach has 112, Gregerson 48, Mikolas 34 and Joe Thatcher 31.
--To create a spot on the 40-man roster for the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Mikolas, the Padres transferred infielder Logan Forsythe to the 60-man disabled list. Forsythe has been out since having surgery on his left foot on March 9. Although he has started to play shortstop in extended spring training, Forsythe won't be able to join the Padres before June 5.
--Street becomes the fifth Padres pitcher on the disabled list joining starters Luebke, Tim Stauffer and Dustin Moseley and long reliever Micah Owings.
--Black said right-handed starter Tim Stauffer (elbow strain) will make at least one more rehab start Wednesday with either Single-A Lake Elsinore or Triple-A Tucson in New Orleans before rejoining the Padres in Philadelphia. Stauffer will throw a bullpen Sunday morning at Petco Park.
--Stauffer on his Friday night outing in Tucson (one run allowed on six hits in five innings): "I felt mechanically more sound and happier with the pitches I was making then in my first outing. My fastball command and slider were better. I kept the ball down."

Mental Health
What is mental health?
"Mental health" refers to your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It is an important part of staying healthy when living with HIV. Your mental health affects how you think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how you handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.
Positive mental health allows you to:
- realize your full potential
- cope with the stresses of life
- work productively
- make meaningful contributions to your community
Positive mental health is important for all individuals at every stage of life, and there are some particular considerations for people living with HIV.
Why is positive mental health important for people living with HIV?
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. When you have positive mental health, you generally are able to:
- function better at work, at school, and in relationships.
- cope more effectively with life's difficulties, such as the death of a loved one, ending a relationship, job stress, health issues, and family or financial problems.
- take better care of yourself physically.
- provide better care for your children or other family members.
But mental health problems can affect the way you think, feel, and behave, and can change how well you function at work and at home. If you are living with HIV, mental health problems can affect your physical health by:
- making it harder for you to take all your HIV medicines on time.
- making it harder for you to keep your health appointments or take advantage of your support network.
- interfering with your healthy behaviors, such as getting enough sleep and exercise and avoiding risk behaviors such as having unprotected sex.
- impairing your ability to cope with the stresses of daily life.
Mental health problems are very common among all Americans, not just those living with HIV. In fact, in 2012, about:
- One in five American adults experienced a diagnosable mental illness.
- Nearly one in 10 young people experienced a period of major depression.
- Four percent of American adults lived with a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression.
As a person living with HIV, it is important for you to be aware that you have an increased risk for developing mood, anxiety, and cognitive disorders. These conditions are treatable. People who experience mental health problems can get better and many recover completely. You can better manage your overall health and well-being if you know how having HIV can affect your mental health and what resources are available to help you if you need it.
What causes mental health problems?
Mental health problems are not caused by "personal weakness." Most are caused by a combination of family history and environmental, biological, and psychosocial factors.
Common factors include:
- a family history of mental health problems and other genetic factors.
- stressful life events or psychosocial reasons, including trauma, sexual and physical abuse, neglect, and illness.
- psychological factors such as unhealthy thinking patterns and trouble managing feelings.
In addition, some forms of stress can contribute to mental health problems for people living with HIV, including:
- having trouble getting the services you need.
- experiencing a loss of social support, resulting in isolation.
- experiencing a loss of employment or worries about whether you will be able to perform your work as you did before.
- having to tell others you are HIV-positive.
- managing your HIV medicines.
- going through changes in your physical appearance or abilities due to HIV/AIDS.
- dealing with loss, including the loss of relationships or even death.
- facing the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS.
Starting antiretroviral therapy also can affect your mental health in different ways. Sometimes, it can relieve your anxiety because knowing that you are taking care of yourself can give you a sense of security. However, it can also increase your emotions because coping with the reality of living with HIV can be complicated. In addition, antiretroviral medications may cause a variety of symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance, and may make some mental health issues worse.
The HIV virus itself also can contribute to mental health problems. Some opportunistic infections (which occur when your immune system is damaged by HIV) can affect your nervous system and lead to changes in your behavior and functioning. Other disorders, such as mild cognitive changes or more severe cognitive conditions, such as dementia, are associated with advanced HIV disease.
For these reasons, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider about your mental health. A conversation about mental health should be part of your complete medical evaluation before starting antiretroviral medications. And you should continue to discuss your mental health with your healthcare team throughout treatment. Be open and honest with your provider about any changes in the way you are thinking, or how you are feeling about yourself and life in general. Also discuss any alcohol or substance use with your provider so that he or she can help connect you to treatment if necessary. (For more information, see our page on Substance Use.)
In addition, tell your healthcare provider about any over-the-counter or prescribed medications you may be taking, including any psychiatric medications, because some of these drugs may interact with antiretroviral medications.
How do I know if something is wrong and how can I find help?
Almost everyone faces mental health challenges at some point. This is true for all individuals, not just those living with HIV. It's normal to experience some degree of worrying or fear, particularly after you have been diagnosed with HIV, or when you are experiencing changes in your health, or adjusting to antiretroviral medications. A support network can help you cope during these tough times. But when your mental health symptoms begin to affect your ability to cope and carry out typical functions in your life, it's important to get help.
So how do you know when it's time to get help? Sometimes, you can notice a change in yourself—and, sometimes, the people around you are the ones who notice. Some changes that might be significant include:
- No longer finding enjoyment in activities which usually make you happy
- Withdrawing from social interaction
- Change in memory functioning
- Sleeping too much—or being unable to sleep
- Feeling "sad" or "empty" much of the time
- Feeling guilty
- Feeling tired all the time
- Experiencing sudden and repeated attacks of fear known as "panic attacks"
- Having racing thoughts
- Loss of sexual interest
- Worrying what others are thinking about you
- Hearing voices in your head
- Feelings of wanting to hurt yourself or others
- Intense anger or rage toward others
Depression is a serious medical illness. It's more than just a feeling of being "down in the dumps" or "blue" for a few days. Depression is a disorder of the brain. There are a variety of causes, including genetic, environmental, psychological, and biochemical factors. Depression can range from mild to severe, and symptoms can include many of feelings or behaviors listed above.
HIV does not directly cause depression. But depression is one of the most common mental health conditions experienced by people living with HIV, just as it is by the general population. Only a mental health provider can accurately diagnose and treat depression. Recovery from depression takes time but treatments are effective. (Learn more about people living with HIV and depression.)
Other mental health conditions
Other mental health conditions include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. For a good description of specific mental health problems, visit mentalhealth.gov.
Remember: a mental health disorder may be a pre-existing condition that already was a problem for a person before they had HIV; it may be first seen after an HIV diagnosis; or it may be directly or indirectly caused by the progression of the disease.
Get help
If you feel that something might be different or "wrong," it's important to tell your doctor or other healthcare provider—including your nurse, case manager, or social worker—so that he or she can help you. Don't be embarrassed to talk about your feelings. Your feelings are important and valid and the members of your healthcare team should be concerned about you and respect you.
If what you are describing is pattern of behavior and feelings you have experienced over time, your healthcare provider may offer treatment or a referral to a mental health services provider. Mental health providers (psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, social workers, or nurses) can use many forms of treatment, including medications and/or "talk therapy." For more information, see the National Institute of Mental Health's Mental Health Topics.
Finding treatment
One of the hardest parts of having mental health condition is that you may not feel like seeking treatment or going to your appointments once you schedule them. If you are feeling this way, consider asking a friend or family member to help you make and keep your appointments, and share these feelings with your mental health provider. When you follow through, your medical and mental health providers can help you feel better, and can improve your chances of successful HIV treatment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chef Kevin from Great Tool FoeThe Gourmet. I use this to slice garlic nice and thin. Please watch my short demo video.Date published: 2019-10-15Rated 5 out of 5 by roanes from A single-use tool you need! I'm not one for gadgets, but to shave a truffle uniformly and thinly, you really need a shaver. This one is easy to use, feels solid, and is reasonably priced. Highly recommend.Date published: 2014-08-11Rated 2 out of 5 by FoodFinder from New Photo needed, quickly Though this is your everyday truffle shaver, the truffle that was used is a Himalayan and or Chinese Truffle. Besides looking like a truffle, they neither smell nor taste anything like a true Black Winter Truffle. WS, go to Far West Fungi in the Ferry Building and display the real thing, not an artificially grown substitute, it's not fair to the true truffle lover…. I jest, but hope you take your cooking as seriously as your customers do!Date published: 2014-03-18

Cassie's Soul Food Kitchen is coming soon to Locust Street in downtown Pomona, I noticed recently. This is off a few steps north of East Second Street's Antique Row, in the space previously occupied by the late, lamented Pomona Bakery. (Despite the sign, I'm not sure Cafe Amerisian, its first replacement, ever opened.)
There's a new black-owned barber shop next door with a family connection to Cassie's, I was told.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown gave his first formal interview about a nine-month-long NBC 5 investigation that found police officers in Dallas and across Texas were causing car crashes by typing on mobile dashboard computers while driving.
Brown told NBC 5 Investigates that, except for emergency situations, the Dallas Police Department does not allow their officers to type on mobile dashboard computers, or MDCs, while driving.
"We prohibit using the MDC while driving, unless it's to save a life," said Brown. "We're still trying to understand where it's grey. We see it very clearly. It's prohibited, except for emergency situations."
The latest news from around North Texas.
The chief's comments come by surprise because there's no direct statement in the police department's policies telling officers not to type and drive and, during an interview that aired July 30, 2012, Deputy Chief Rick Watson told NBC 5 Investigates indicated there was no policy against typing and driving.
"We rely on their judgment and on their discretion. We're not telling them to do it, we're not telling them not to do it," said Watson.
When asked why the department didn't have a clearly defined policy like some other departments, Watson said last summer that the department was looking at reviewing its policy to see if changes needed to be made. NBC 5 Investigates recently reached out to Watson to clarify his comments from last year, but he has not responded and Brown's office has not offered an explanation for the discrepancy.
In his recent interview with NBC 5, Brown said that typing while driving was actually banned two years ago; however the rule isn't spelled out in the police department's policy. Instead, the chief said, it's in the City of Dallas' Human Resources Department Driving Policy which the chief said covers MDC's even though it doesn't mention them by name.
The HR department rules state that city department heads should: "Hold city drivers accountable for the reckless and irresponsible use of electronic devices while operating a vehicle."
But there's an exception in the policy for police officers, "Emergency response personnel acting within the scope of their official duties may utilize electronic devices while driving - if the device is essential for the nature of the emergency response and another employee is not available to utilize the device."
"The exception is where I think the biggest part of this debate is. What's an emergency situation and when can they do it and when can't they do it?" said Brown.
Other police departments have written more specific rules telling officers exactly what they can and cannot do while driving. In Arlington, police department policy limits typing to minimal use such as one button functions when the car is moving, and only if it is safe to do so. In Fort Worth, the department prohibits typing while driving and even requires officers to pull over to read the screen if there's heavy traffic. The Tarrant County Sheriff Department tells deputies to use the radio to request some information instead of typing.
Brown said his department doesn't need such a detailed policy.
"I'm saying our department may be much different from other departments you've looked at. We just don't see, from our experience, officers using the computer and causing accidents," said Brown.
Dallas Police reports and dash cam videos show police officers rear ending other drivers and running off the road. In one case where there's no video, an accident report shows a Dallas police officer using the MDC, crossed the center line and hit another car head-on.
The department says MDCs have caused 17 Dallas police crashes in four years. That may seem like a lot, but with 2,600 department-related crashes in four years, that number of MDC-related crashes represents less than 1 percent of all department-related crashes over that same time period.
"Our driving accidents are down 26 percent, our MDC-usage accidents are 1 percent of our total accidents. That may be much different for another city and their policies may reflect that," said Brown.
Attorney Trey Branham specializes in litigating injury cases. He said if Dallas gets sued over an MDC-related crash, the city would have a harder time defending itself than other cities with more detailed polices.
Branham's advice to the city of Dallas, "Get real specific. What's the harm? You can make exceptions and you can make specific exceptions if you feel like you need them. But there's no harm at all in being very specific about what you want your officers doing and what you don't want them doing and when you want them doing it."
Brown said he wants to leave plenty of leeway to protect officers who might need to type and drive if their life is in danger.
"It would be an - I'm shot at, another citizen is shot bleeding, I can't get radio transmission, all I had was that computer to communicate with the dispatcher to get me help," said Brown.
For that same reason he's not sure he wants to install devices that lock the keyboard when the car moves, but he's interested to see how they work in cities like Farmer's Branch. The city recently became the first police department in Texas to install the Archangel II that prevents officers from typing on dashboard computers while driving faster than 15 mph.
Brown says he will be closely watching what other departments do to address the issue.
"I think you struck a chord with the series. I think you really have prompted law enforcement to look at something that we have just taken for granted -- that putting so much technology in the car could overwhelm an officer," said Brown.

Discovered by the CHANEL Direction du Patrimoine in the Pathé-Gaumont cinematographic archives, this film presents the "Bijoux de Diamants" exhibit held from November 7th-19th, 1932 at Gabrielle Chanel's apartment 29 Faubourg Saint Honoré in Paris. Broadcasted before the feature movies in every French cinema, it was a prominent event in French news in November 1932.
I love seeing the archival footage of the original exhibit in Coco Chanel's own home!
Baby, it's cold outside, the families in town and the tree is up. I'm ready for a break to spend time with family and friends, reflect on 2012 and dream for 2013. I have some posts that I want to get up before the year is over but I've been sick and I'm taking the next few days off. I wish you Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year! I hope to be back next week to wish you a Happy 2013!
Each month my other website MISS features designer products with a matching manicure. We've had several months devoted to Chanel and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate the holidays than with a Chanel Christmas tree. So I present to you a white Christmas tree complete with vintage Chanel jewelry and accessories as ornaments. I hope your holidays will be filled with Chanel!

Douglas Rosin presents a Coco Chanel capsule collection of vintage jewelry for sale on 1stDibs to commemorate the eve of Coco Chanel's 129th birthday on Sunday.

I love seeing earlier creations because I feel like they give us a glimpse into who Coco Chanel was. One piece is more gorgeous than the next – I love the excess of it all. It's obvious why Coco Chanel is responsible for making costume jewelry popular. Enjoy, and hopefully you might even be able to buy something!

Back in January I mentioned 1stDibs as one of the best destinations for finding vintage Chanel and they are the home to the Chanel Avant Karl sale featuring rare period Chanel costume jewelry. With Coco Chanel's birthday approaching this Sunday, August 19th, 1st Dibs is launching a sale tomorrow to commemorate what would have been Mademoiselle Chanel's 129th birthday. Here's a preview of what you can expect to find – what better to celebrate Gabrielle Chanel's birthday than to wear Chanel?
Earlier this week I met with a vintage Chanel dealer that happens to live just a few towns over – many thanks to Liz Baca of The Goods! for the referral! I took many photos of the products she has for sale and I'll be doing a full post next week but for now I just wanted to give you a sneak peek of some of her goodness.
I got a great deal on two of my favorite pieces that I saw there – a mini vintage Chanel bow pin and a mini vintage Chanel bag. You may not be able to see the scale from the photos but the pin is about the width of a US quarter and the bag is just wide enough to hold my iPhone. They are so adorable! I've wanted a mini bag to add to my collection and now I have one! I also won't be so afraid to use the bag because it's already gently used

Have you seen the June 2012 issue of Elle US? I'm always a little bit behind on reading my magazine but this weekend I decided to delve into my pile. I was happy to see that Elle did an editorial celebrating Chanel's little black jacket to commemorate The Little Black Jacket exhibition and book. Elle took Chanel's little black jacket and gave it six very different looks pairing the jacket with current pieces and vintage Chanel. The six different looks are – in order of appearance: Street Wise, Classic, Menswear, Sporty, New Romantic and Haute Rebel. My favorites are definitely the first three – sorry I can't choose one! Which is your favorite look?

text: You needn't be a kid to know that most children's movies lately, excepting some animation, are dreary time-wasters. Having recently staggered out of "Oz, the Great and Wonderful" and "Jack the Giant Slayer," I feel a messianic urge to trumpet some of my personal favorites. I'll dispense with the obvious ones first: "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) and "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" (1982) are shoo-ins for the pantheon. Both pass a key litmus test for a great children's film: They work equally well for adults, expressing childhood imaginings in the most embracing of ways. We're all kids -- smart, blissfully happy kids -- when we watch these movies. Buster Keaton set the bar for gleefully giggle-inducing films that children enjoy. Perhaps best of all is "Steamboat Bill, Jr." (1928), with its jaw-dropping cyclone finale. And Charlie Chaplin's silent films, especially "The Kid" (1921) and "The Gold Rush" (1925) are peerless. I would rank Carroll Ballard's "The Black Stallion" (1979) right up there, too. I don't think any other English-language movie -- not even two other favorites of mine, "National Velvet" (1944) and Ken Loach's "Kes" (1969), about a boy and a falcon -- has ever gotten so far inside a child's phantasmagoric connection to an animal. "The White Mane" (1953), a French film, almost matches "Black Stallion," not surprising since its director, Albert Lamorisse, also made "The Red Balloon" (1956). Set in the wilds of Corsica, the film is a rapturous poem about the communion between a boy and his horse. Speaking of balloons, Jafar Panahi's "The White Balloon" (1995) is a small Iranian gem about a young girl who sets out to buy a goldfish and encounters a cross-section of the good and the greedy. (Panahi is currently under house arrest in Iran for, in effect, having the temerity to demand artistic freedom). Movies about familial loss or abandonment figure heavily in movies about kids. Two of the finest are Steven Soderbergh's little known "The King of the Hill" (1993), about a 12-year-old St. Louis boy who has to survive on his wits during the Great Depression, and "The Little Fugitive" (1953), about a young boy who wanders lost and terrified through Coney Island. Francois Truffaut cited "The Little Fugitive" as a prime influence on his early New Wave films, especially "The 400 Blows." My favorite movie of his about childhood is "Small Change" (1976), about youngsters in a French fishing village. It expresses the dream of childhood as an anointed time. Ingmar Bergman is famous for his brooding adult dramas but he also had a special feeling for childhood wonderment, best shown in the opening family Christmas sequence in "Fanny and Alexander" and in all of the magisterially silly "The Magic Flute." Most of the foreign-language films I've cited here have minimal subtitles and can be easily understood by children. This is doubly true of Jacques Tati's films, especially "Monsieur Hulot's Holiday" (1953), in which the great comic director unleashes his gangly, accident-prone Hulot on a French resort town. The results are as deliriously funny as anything in the Keaton canon. Animation is a realm unto itself. I'll choose but two out of scores: Walt Disney's "Pinocchio" (1940), and "Spirited Away" (2001), the Hayao Miyazaki masterpiece about the mysteriously rapturous inner life of a 10-year-old girl. The mostly stop-motion animated "James and the Giant Peach" (1996) is the best of the many terrific Roald Dahl adaptations, including the Gene Wilder "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (1971), "The Witches" (1990) and "Matilda" (1996), now a blockbuster musical in London and New York. Three more that I cherish: "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962), one of the rare socially conscious child-centric films that earns its uplift; Carol Reed's "Oliver!" (1968), the best of all Dickens adaptations (excepting David Lean's "Great Expectations"); and Alfonso Cuaron's "A Little Princess" (1994), a remake of the Shirley Temple warhorse about a young girl in a boarding school that is simply one of the most poetic films for any age ever to escape from Hollywood. If your kids are into nerd power, they could do much worse than the recent "Moonrise Kingdom" (2012), which celebrates it. Most of the current kid's movies out there are eye-glazing bores. Any of these movies will open a child's eyes wide with delight.
