rewatched series/movies/anime
hey :) ive been a user a long time. and after some years of trying to find a good website for me this is the best one. there is one thing i would like! i rewatch many movies and series even anime. but i cant put it in that ive watched it twice. i know it would be a big update, but i think its worth it. that you could somehow put, rewatched where you can choose watched, dropped it, hold. then there would be a rewatched, and endless count on rewatched times.
when you then press rewatch button, there will be like a new page where you can press the episodes youve seen.
1. the menu where you can see every movie and such youve seen. it should have like a new line where it says what number time you are watching the program.
2. i should be able to rewatch as much as i want, not only rewatched once.
3. i should be able to remove a episode from each rewatched; when you click on rewatched or somthn. a menu with all your rewatched from that spesific series should come up. and you could change that, the second time you rewatched it i forgot to see an episode. but i still rewatched it again after that. if you get it.

I am planning to create some sort of edit interface where it would be possible to enter the number how many times you re-watched and to reset the marked episodes. In idea stage right now. But currently no plans to keep a history of both times you watched the same episode only the last watched date would be saved.
Single-page countdown for all types
Instead of having to switch between multiple tabs in the app to find countdowns for each type only, please have a single-page countdown that displays upcoming air/release date of shows/anime/movies altogether.
Additionally, please add to-be-released shows/anime/movies to the countdown as well.
If exact air/release date is unknown, please just add to the end of the list with a ? so at least we can track that it's coming in the future.6 votes
An option to follow actors so you can know when they star in another movie.
An option to follow actors so you can know when they star in another movie. So that you can see when a movie is out with them in it.4 votes
Ability to remove 'Movies waiting to be rated...' on Overview
I have hundreds of movies watched but not rated, some movies are from years and years ago that I know I've watched. So instead of manually going through them all trying to remember what they was like or rewatch just to rate them, could we have an option to hide it?

Add movies and comments look like on dtf (BEST I SAW EVER)
Add movies. I mean not only tv show. According to comments add them like dtf.ru did

Auto Track Popcorn time
I would like an option to track movies/shows/animes from the program called "PopcornTime"3 votesAdminAndrew (Founder, Simkl) responded
Please contact the app developer and ask to add Simkl API so you can track what you watched
Sync MAL & SIMKL
Sync MAL & SIMKL so that whenever I mark an episode as watched/completed/not interested it automatically updates MAL. The way it is now, whenever I watch a new anime episode or update an anime to completed/Not interested/plan to watch I have to update it on both sides separately. Be great if I could update if on SIMKL and have it update on my MAL50 votes
Expand list of streaming options (i.e. Amazon Prime, Crunchyroll, Funimation, Crackle, etc)
Listed streaming options should be expanded to include Amazon Prime, Crunchyroll, Funimation, Adult Swim, Crackle, TubiTV, and other popular streaming options. Reelgood is a competitor that has many of these options listed when on a title's information page.42 votes

Favourite shows
As well as you can mark tv shows, series and cartoons as "watching" or "on hold". There should be a favourite option, so you can keep track of your favourite shows.

Add a custom field to every show
Add a custom field to every show that I can use to for example enter the URL of where I'm watching the show. The field would be entered by show but would appear in every episode to make it just one click away. If it's multiple lines, even better.1 vote
Delay new shows appearence by a day or account for timezones
Be able to introduce a delay before seeing new available shows. I live in germany and new shows appear when it's midnight in the US but they will only be aired about 10 hours later. So either take my timezone into account or to make it easy, a checkbox with a +1 day delay would be fine.1 voteunder review · AdminAndrew (Founder, Simkl) responded
Make sure to update your timezone in https://simkl.com/settings/
Sort by time to watch
When I'm choosing the next show/movie to watch, I usually go by what genre I want and then by how long it wold take to watch. I remember the genre of shows by their name, but I never know how long it would take to watch them. I can open up a new tab for the show to find out, but if I could sort by time to watch (like we can with name, rank, etc) that would be really nice. It doesn't need to be exact, the guesstimate that's shown on show pages would be plenty.1 vote
Search results sould show exact BEGIN matches first
Search results sould show exact BEGIN matches first.
When I search for "the magicians", when I type "the magic" I should see this result before "care bears: unlock the magic". Results should also be sorted by rank and also titles I watch should come befrore everything else.1 voteunder review · AdminAndrew (Founder, Simkl) responded
There is currently a bug in the search that does not sort relevant results first. We're looking into it, something to do with collecting search stats incorrectly.
Searching for "the mag" should display "The magicians" at the top when it's working correctly.

SINGAPORE - When pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) first started its factories here over three decades ago, there were no locals with the skills and expertise needed to manage its sites.
It had to rely on foreign employees to complement the local workforce, but recruited and trained locals to take on those roles.
Today, about nine in 10, or 500, of the company's workers here are local, and the local scientists will be helping to transfer technology piloted here to units in the United Kingdom.
GSK was among 74 companies to receive the new Human Capital Partner mark at an event on Friday (Feb 17).
The scheme, announced in November last year, recognises progressive employers who develop staff. They are rewarded with benefits such as being put on the fast track when applying to the Ministry of Manpower for foreign worker passes and grants, and a dedicated hot line to reach the ministry instead of having to go through the general call centre.
Companies that come on board need to commit to three priorities: build a stronger Singaporean core by investing in employees of all ages and at all levels; select foreigners that complement local workers and not substitute them; and proactively transfer expertise from foreign professionals, managers, executives and technicians to locals.
Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say said that good human capital management is important because while growth in the future economy must be driven by pervasive innovation, the future workforce must also be more inclusive.
"On our journey towards the future economy, we will, of course, continue to act on unlawful and unfair practices. But more importantly, we want to do much more to speed up the adoption of not just fair, but progressive practices across all sectors and all sizes of enterprises," he said, speaking to over 160 company representatives at Raffles City Convention Centre.
He added that as global competition for better investments and jobs grows, Singapore will need to develop new and emerging capabilities in the local workforce and at the same time draw on external expertise. This expertise should be transferred to locals, who can be nurtured to take on global roles.
The HCP programme is put together by the Manpower Ministry, Tafep, the National Trades Union Congress and the Singapore National Employers Federation.
Other benefits for companies in the scheme are working with the ministry to pilot new employment and employability programmes, and getting advice from the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (Tafep) on available grants and schemes.

text: 13 Retail Workers Share Their "Oh Sh*t, I Shouldn't Have Said That" Moments Ross Snow via r/AskReddit @MessJenkins March 29, 2018 The life of a retail worker is a rough one. Constantly dealing with annoying customers for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week quickly devolves into a nightmare. It's this reason why it's not uncommon to have some mental slip-ups and say some shit that you kinda wish never left your mouth. 1. heyybeth -- Jokes involving death are hit or miss. A lady was complaining about her parents in law and told me to make sure I like the parents of whoever I marry. So I said "Oh my fiancé's parents are dead so I lucked out." She did not laugh. 2. youngloudandsnotty -- Did you have to send her to timeout? I was talking with a customer on the phone and giving her answers she didn't like. Then she, this grown ass woman, just starts whining. Not like using words with a whiny voice but actually doing a "uuuuuhhhnnnnnnn" kind of whining. I've worked with toddlers a lot so it was just instinct to say back to her "Ma'am, please use your words" as if I was talking to a 3 year old. It did not go over well. 3. greenPotate -- It's true, though. A customer tried to exchange cash with me and I told her no and explained that we can't as a policy to protect against fast change artists. She really suspiciously, in an exasperated voice, was like "but I'm obviously not a fast change artist!" and without thinking I, "That sounds like something a fast change artist would say." 4. piknick1994 -- Hey, this one worked out nicely. Not what I said but how I said it. Waiting tables and I get this friendly looking couple. I walk up and before I can start with the pleasantries the guy sees me, and in a heavy Australian accent, he says "hi there mate. How are you." I was thrown off by the accent and by being interrupted before making an introduction and for whatever reason, my mind could only focus on the accent, and so, when I went to respond I did it in an Australian accent -- "not too bad mate. Yourself". I realized i was doing it as it was leaving my mouth but I couldn't stop. I was convinced I was gonna get pinched square in the face... turns out my fake Australian accent isn't bad. The guy is delighted to meet an Australian. Asks if I'm in America on the Work program. Now I'm stuck. If I admit I'm not Australian I'm worried he'll be offended even though I didn't mean to offend him. If not, I have to play this part for the next hour. Yeah. I committed to the role. Got a 40% tip though so that was kinda nice and worth the stress. 5. InverseHivemind -- Protest away. I'm making 13/hr watching your dumb pickets. "if you wanna make some dumb protest against my company and waste my time that's fine, I'm still getting paid while you're wasting your time" Got written up for that one 6. sportsworker777 -- Freudian slip. I was on a call with a customer who was complaining and absolutely irate. I had only been on the job for a few weeks and was becoming flustered. There was literally nothing I could do to calm this person down or get him to accept my answers. I was finally about to get him off the line when he made a sarcastic comment to the extent of "wow thanks, you've been such a great help." In my rush to say "no problem" or "you're welcome" I ended up saying "your problem" and hanging up. He called several times after that and I just ignored the calls because I was so exhausted. 7. oliveu14 -- Hopefully he took it well. This guy ordered three coffees, I brought him two immediately after ordering so he asked where his third one was.. First response out my mouth was "I only have two arms." 8. puppyninjas -- I like this one. Fast food. 15 years old. Customer is screaming at a rookie. Said rookie walks away to get a manager. Customer turns to me, "get her back here, I want to give her a piece of my mind." Me: "are you sure you have enough pieces to spare?" 9. MnMsLoser -- But come on, people. It is far easier. I answered a customer call when I worked at a movie theater and it was a couple asking me for directions to the theater from wherever they were. They were driving and getting frustrated with me, and I was kind of getting frustrated with them for being mad at me when I assumed they were talking to me on a smartphone, so at some point I said something like, "most people would just use the internet." They did not like that. 10. NotoriousTNT -- RIP her dad and your brain. In high school I worked as a dry cleaner. Woman comes in, her dad died. Wants me to iron the suit he would be buried in. I ask her what kind of starch she would like. She asks what I recommend. I, in all of my infinite wisdom, said "well I'm assuming he won't be moving around much so a light starch is fine" and then immediately apologized and mentally died inside 11. bigfatbelushi -- Uhoh, maybe she was? I'm a dude, and had somewhat long hair in high school. I was working at the local supermarket and this older woman, 50s or 60s, asked if I was wearing a wig. I responded by saying no, and replied with the same question, after which she gave me an appalled look like I had called her a cunt or something. 12. pm_cute_selfies -- Even though it's in a bag and wrapped, it still feels violated. I used to work at Jimmy Johns, When we made a drive through order, the person who wraps the sandwich would bag it, and toss it across the restaurant to the drive through person to hand it out after they took the payment. I was the drive through person and dropped the wrapped, and bagged sandwich. Without thinking, I just picked it up, and handed it to the customer. He goes "you're seriously going to serve me that?" My instant reaction was to ask "Oh, you saw that?" He was not amused. 13. 2cfnr -- Not coming back would be doing every retail employees dream scenario. After the standard customer bitch fest, ending with "And I am never shopping here again!" I gave her a smile and said, "Thank you, we sure would appreciate that." She stood there with her mouth open while I moved on to the next customer. Filed Under: redditfailssocial mediaconfessionsworksocial Comments

GMP students visit Gilead
Published on: Tuesday, 03 December 2013
Students taking the Manufacturing Technology module in the Higher Certificate in Science in GMP & Technology and in the Diploma in Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Operations accompanied by Ann Toebes, went on a site visit to Gilead Sciences, Carrigtohill on Friday November 22nd.
Having studied the unit operations involved in Oral Solid Dosage processes, the class was looking forward to seeing the process in real life. On arrival the group was welcomed by Bernard Maguire the Tabletting Production Manager and David Pomeroy, a tablet technician and a 2013 graduate of CITs Higher Certificate in Science in GMP and Technology. We were given an overview of the company, the products it manufactures, an overview of the product pipeline and details of the manufacturing processes. Next stop was the changing room where everyone washed their hands, donned hair nets, beard nets, tyvek suits, safety glasses and finally shoe covers. After another hand wash we were led into the manufacturing area where we met John OShea, a Shift Team Lead. John brought us through each of the unit operations from dispensing to tablet coating and packaging. Tablets manufactured on site are sent to the Packaging Department on site or abroad to another Gilead packaging facility.
The cleanliness and the attention to detail in steps to protect both the product and the employees were striking throughout the visit. There was plenty opportunity to ask questions and David kindly provided everyone with further information on the products manufactured by Gilead.
Overall, a very interesting and informative visit to a growing pharmaceutical formulation facility.

5 Tips for Outdoor Entertaining
When my girls were little I was "that mom". The one who made birthday parties an event. From invites to cake, to decor and party favours, everything was on theme. I love entertaining. Especially when I have time to decorate, buy flowers, set the table etc. which is a luxury I don't always have. Last weekend we hosted our oldest daughter's Sweet 16 birthday party. She requested a Luau, however I've had to take a back seat so SHE could plan her own party. I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree...
There's just something about outdoor entertaining. Whether a birthday party, casual group of friends or family, or a large gathering for a special event, here are my top 5 tips for hosting a wonderful (and simple) outdoor get together.
1. Keep food simple. There's no need to serve a five course meal and better yet, serve food you can eat with your hands (sandwiches, burgers, veggies and dip, chips...) to avoid the use of utensils.
2. Create a 'Help Yourself' area for beverages. I like to use large planters or aluminum tubs filled with ice to house canned or bottled beverages. Placed throughout the backyard, this allows guests to help themselves to drinks and keeps you from running in and out of the house.
3. Create layers of mood lighting. As the sun sets you'll want illumination. Lanterns with candles, string lights, paper lanterns, or even an outdoor light fixture depending on your backyard layout are all great options to cast light on your outdoor party.
4. Bring fresh flowers to the table. While the outdoors can be filled with flowers and greens, why not add more to the table and special areas for decor.
5. Light a fire. The crackling sounds of a fire never get old. Whether with a fireplace or fire pit you'll create warmth as well as a light source with the glow of the flame. It'll also provide the option of making s'mores later into the evening.
Regardless of how old my girls are, I still love throwing parties of all kinds. Some are more extravagant than others but most of all, it's about the guests and sharing time with the special people in our lives.
Happy Summer!

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This month, BillEaston had a sale of some of his wine, clearing out inventory I presume. I ordered a mixed case of these wine on a flyer. Some were on the older side, but I was confident that Bill would not offer up anything that was shaky or in suspect condition. I was right. The two whites and the Zin were so good that I ordered up another mixed case. Alas, this special sale, offered only to his mailing list customers ends tonight (Sunday).
Of the two whites, I somewhat preferred the Enigma. Both showed no signs of oxidation or nuttiness or going over the hill. The Viognier will probably just quietly fade into the sunset. The Enigma might just get even better.
Of the two Syrahs, I slightly preferred the Wildrotter because the tannins seemed a bit more resolved.
Did I mention that these sale prices were on the stupid/silly side??


text: The uses for this nuclear medicine machine very similar to an x-ray, but uses a camera sensitive to gamma rays and X-rays. As on a radiograph, each of the images obtained is two-dimensional, with the SPECT – CT we can combine many images taken from different positions around the patient to obtain a three dimensional image. This three-dimensional image can then be manipulated to obtain dimensional body sections in any orientation. As an additional benefit any findings in nuclear medicine images is immediately correlated with a CT image, dramatically increasing how specific the finding is, and often avoiding unnecessary additional studies. SPECT-CT increases the information generated by a wide variety of nuclear medicine studies such as the study of perfusion of the heart muscle during rest and exercise, brain study, whole body thyroid study after resection, parathyroid study in search for parathyroid adenoma, bone scan for the entire skeletal system, among others.

This is part three of a three part series on Jennifer's fashion portraits.
Jennifer, who grew up in Australia but now lives in Dubai, contacted me for some updated portraits of her wearing some designer clothes. I literally could not say "YES!" fast enough because 1.) it's been a dream of mine to do a session that involves fashion and 2.) Jenn is the most cheerful and hilarious person you'll ever meet (and I found that out via email, before I even met her in real life). She also runs the popular Instagram account Jkittyt and the fashion blog www.jkitty.me so she's straight up legit.
We literally roamed around Vienna for her session, photographing her in different designer clothing in various spots. We got so many great shots that this is the final part of a three part series. So girls, if you're reading this, and you love fashion, get your heels on and get ready.
Here is the amazing Jenn dressed painting Vienna red.

text: Despite everything that has been going on over the past year it's awesome to see the dudes in CKY still doing their thing. Although being down a member, Chad, Jess, and Matt have moved on, not only to release a new album but they're also playing shows and touring. Their recently released album, The Phoenix, may raise some eyebrows at first. CKY have been faced with the challenge of moving on without their original vocalist/guitar player Deron Miller. A taks that isn't always easy, especially when he has been up front for all these years. BUT if you give The Phoenix a listen I think you'll hear that the essence of CKY is still as dank as it ever was, The riffs, grooves, and hooks are all still there, just minor vocal switch. Their performance at Warped tour was sick. They played all the classics fans wanted to hear as well as a few new ones. Enjoy the pictures and video, go grab a copy of The Phoenix today!

I have been a technologist for the past 20 years helping customers streamline operations, reduce costs or increase profitability through the efficient use of technology. Over the years, the technologies have changed but one that has remained fairly influential over the last 10 years has been Microsoft Windows. Not only has it been a strong business platform but it has been my main personal (home use) platform. With Windows 8 and the increasingly unfriendly user interface, I finally decided it was time to finally go back to the Apple platform for personal use.
Switching to Mac meant I also had to change many of my main applications so I wanted to share my top 10 Mac apps with you.
1 - Evernote
Evernote has been one of my main applications for the last 4 years and is my main data hub. It helps organize information, tasks and powers my GTD system. I love the fact that the Evernote team is constantly updating the product (trying to make it better) and that it exists for almost every platform (Android, IOS, windows,
2 - Google Chrome
Discussing browsers is like discussing religion. There is no magically right answer and everyone has their own preferences. Sure you can use Apple's own Safari or Mozilla's Firefox but my browser of choice is Google Chrome. It is fast, synchronizes my data across all my devices and provides the tight integration with Google's cloud services I wants.
3 - VideoLan Client
There are hundreds of video clients available for the Apple Mac OS platform but nothing else matches the features and versatility of VLC. It is a FREE open source client that supports almost every audio and video format under the sun. It is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, etc. Once you get a little more advanced you can even use it to digitize a CD or DVD, comprress videos, and much more.
4 - Handbrake
Handbrake is a fantastic open source software (multi-platform) that allows you to rip and convert media. I'll admit it isn't the most elegant user interface and has some quirks but you get a powerful free tool.
5 - Keka
The more I use cloud, the less I use compression but there are still times when I need to compress a bunch of files to send it off. There are a bunch of good paid apps but since I don't use compression / decompression often, I wanted something function but free. Enter Keka.
Keka is a free (no advertising) compression / decompression tool that works extremely well. I found the app a little confusing at first, it doesn't seem to be update all that often and it doesn't really have a manual.
It isn't perfect but the functionality is good. It supports a tone of formats.
Compression formats supported:
7z, Zip, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, DMG, ISO
Extraction formats supported:
RAR, 7z, Lzma, Zip, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, ISO, EXE, CAB, PAX, ACE (PPC)
What I liked most about Keka is that it works good for a basic non technical user but offers enough customization for a power user as well.
6 - Caffeine
Some of us need a big cup of coffee to get through the day because it perks you up, makes you more attentive and prevents drowsiness. Caffeine does the same for your Mac. It's a free app that is added to your menu bar that when activated ensures your Mac screen stays powered preventing dimming, sleeping or activation of the screen saver.
Why would you want this? When reading a book (Kindle), a PDF or a webpage, you don't want to wiggle your mouse every couple of seconds to prevent your mac from sleeping.
7 - ExpanDrive 3
ExpanDrive 3 is a simple little program that turns any cloud storage service into a standard mounted drive on your computer (like plugging in a USB key or hard-drive). This means that any app on your Mac can read and write file to any of the supported cloud storage services without modification.
Out of the box, it supports:
- WebDAV
- Amazon S3
- Dropbox
- Rackspace Cloud Files
- Dreamhost DreamObjects
- Openstack Swift
This is not a free app but well worth the money.
8 - Paragon NTFS for Mac
There will be times when you have to access an NTFS formatted drive (hard-drive, USB key, etc) and the Mac doesn't natively support creating, deleting or modifying NTFS stored files. This is where Paragon NTFS for Mac comes in. It provides that emulation layer required to use any Windows storage medium as you would a native Mac medium.
Again this app is not free but definitely worth considering.
9 - Skitch
Skitch is a free app from Evernote that allows you to take screenshots then add text, graphics, shapes and annotations to it. It integrates with your Evernote account but also works as a stand-alone app even without an account.
I have skitch on my Mac, Windows PC and iPhone.
10 - AfterShot Pro
AfterShot Pro is a paid photo management app from Corel. It use to be called Bibble Labs until Corel bought them. It is a cross platform phot management app that works on Windows, Mac and Linux. It supports everything you would expect such as photo management, raw support, non-destructive modifications and much more. I love the automatic photo improvement algorithms from a company called Athentiech (product is called Perfectly Clear). It brings 12 pro-level corrections down to 1 click:
- Exposure
- Beautify (for human faces)
- Vibrancy
- Noise-reduction
- Tint correction
- Sharpening
- Depth correction
- Skin tone correction
- Light Diffusion correction
- Red Eye removal
- Widening the dynamic range
- Visual spectrum improvement
You can buy this as a photoshop plug in for $200 but it it for free with AfterShot Pro
I loved this product when it was Bibble Labs and I love it as a Corel product. Works well and is often prices at 50% off which makes it a must have app.

Prevalence and outcomes of trans-radial access for percutaneous coronary intervention in contemporary practise
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
Source Title
Background: Trans-radial access for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been associated with lower vascular complication rates and improved outcomes. We assessed the current uptake of trans-radial PCI in Victoria, Australia, and evaluated if patients were selected according to baseline bleeding risk in contemporary clinical practise, and compared selected clinical outcomes. Methods: PCI data of all patients between 1st January 2013 and 31st December 2014 were analysed using The Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry (VCOR). Propensity-matched analysis was performed to compare the clinical outcomes. Results: 11,711 procedures were analysed. The femoral route was the predominant access site (66%). Patients undergoing trans-radial access PCI were younger (63.9 ± 11.6 vs. 67.2 ± 11.8; p < 0.001), had a higher BMI (28.9 ± 5.5 vs. 28.5 ± 5.2; p < 0.001), more likely to be male (80.0 vs. 74.9%;p < 0.001), less likely to have presented with cardiogenic shock (0.9 vs. 2.8%; p < 0.001) or have the following comorbidities: diabetes (19.8 vs. 23.1%; p < 0.001), peripheral vascular disease (2.9 vs. 4.3%; p = 0.005) or renal impairment (13.6 vs. 22.1%; p < 0.001). The radial group had less bleeding events (3.2 vs. 4.6%; p < 0.001) and shorter hospital length of stay (3.1 ± 4.7 vs. 3.3 ± 3.9; p = 0.006). There was no significant difference in mortality (1.0 vs. 1.4%; p = 0.095). Conclusions: Trans-femoral approach remains the dominant access site for PCI in Victoria. The choice of route does not appear to be selected by consideration of bleeding risk. The radial route is associated with improved clinical outcomes of reduced bleeding and length of stay consistent with previous findings, and this supports the efficacy and safety of trans-radial PCI in real-world clinical practise.

text: Spielberg and Hanks are teaming up for the first time since The Terminal for what looks like an old-fashioned kind of spy thriller set during the 1960's. It's from a script by the Coen brothers, although nearly every script the Coens write that they give to someone else is not one of their best. I'm iffy on it- it looks well made, but there's a very old school feel to this, like it could have been made in another era, although that may be intentional. I love Tom Hanks though (I still think he was robbed for a nomination for Captain Phillips), so I'm always there for a potentially great Spielberg/Hanks drama. It's coming out October 16th, key Oscar season.

Season of Resurrection
Reading 3, Heb 7:1-10 : Priest in the order of Melchizedek
|For this Melchiz'edek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him;
|and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.
|He is without father or mother or genealogy, and has neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest for ever.
|See how great he is! Abraham the patriarch gave him a tithe of the spoils.
|And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these also are descended from Abraham.
|But this man who has not their genealogy received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
|It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.
|Here tithes are received by mortal men; there, by one of whom it is testified that he lives.
|One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham,
|for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchiz'edek met him.
Gospel, Jn 5:30-38 : Those who fulfill the will of God
|"I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
|If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true;
|there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true.
|You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
|Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.
|He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
|But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.
|And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;
|and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.

a domestic animal falling under equine family. In this family there are the
horse, mule and zebra. Donkeys are used by human for draught, pack, and ridden
work, milking, breeding, and sometimes eating.Donkeys have some advantages and
disadvantages. They are generally voluntary to work and friendly towards human.
Donkeys can be trained easily and need little supervision during work. They are
easy to be fed and consume poor food well. They are comparatively cheaper to
buy than other draught animals. On the other hand they generally suffer from
being alone and can be noisy when frustrated and alone. They are breed and
mature slowly. 7
The aim of this
compilation was to provide information of species characters including
taxonomy, origin, terms, ecology, form, lifespan, behaviour, vocal expression,
colour, markings, and relationships with other species, religion and myth of
name of Equus asinus was determined
by Linnaeus in 1758. The type locale was in Manisa, Turkey. 7 The
donkey may have been domesticated in the Sahara Desert region 6,000 years ago,
perhaps earlier in Egypt, 15 and afterwards spread to most countries
of the world. In historical times, donkeys became the chief means of transport
over the Asian Silk Road between China and Europe for many centuries.3, 13
Groves 8 has suggested that original donkey domestication might have
been in the Middle East, not long after the beginning of agriculture. Despite
the importance of the domesticated donkey, faunal remains and rock art
representations of donkeys are extremely rare. This can possibly be explained
by the fact that donkeys have mostly been important for poor households and
have consequently had low prestige. 5

English, the proper word for a donkey is 'ass'. The word 'donkey' is an
etymologically obscure word. The first written attestation of it dates to ~1785, and it seems to have been introduced
in the 19th century, possibly derived from the Flemish 'dunnetjie',
meaning small and dun-coloured. In
Flemish and Dutch the word for ass is also 'esel', which, like the French word
'âne', clearly derives from the Latin 'asinus', signifying that the donkey was
introduced to most of Europe by the Romans. 17

word 'ass' was made problematic by American usage, in which the British word
'arse,' spelled and pronounced that way but an offensive term for the part of
the human body that is sat on, became pronounced and even spelled 'ass' in
American English. This has done the
animal no service, so the word 'donkey' is now preferred to 'ass'. Positive associations as embodied in the
English phrases 'donkey's years' and 'donkey work' – reflecting the longevity
of the animal and its capacity for hard work – presumably originated in the 19th
century. 17

Used in the King James version of the Christian Bible, where donkeys often play
an important role, mainly in the Old Testament.
Slang and now preferred alternative word for 'ass'.
Stock (Jackstock): A group term for the American Mammoth Jack and Jennet,
because the male version was used in breeding mules.
or jackass: A male donkey. The term stallion may also be used instead of jack
or jackass, especially where an uncastrated male is indicated.
or jenny: A female donkey. The word 'mare' is often also used instead of jennet
or jenny, especially where breeding is referred to.
Male offspring = 1 year old of a donkey (or horse).
Female offspring = 1 year old of a donkey (or horse).

Offspring of jennet/jenny (female donkey) and stallion (male horse).

Jack: Not necessarily a mule, but a jackass used to breed to horse mares to
obtain mules.
Jack: A jackass used to breed to jennets (female donkeys) to produce more
donkeys (www.lovelongears.com, 2011). 18
tolerate hot, dry conditions, often in areas with low-quality forage. They have
a higher threshold for thirst than other equine species in terms of water
intake and latency to drink when fluid deficits develop. 7 They do
not thrive in damp areas, but easily live in marginal desert lands and are
adapted to areas that are arid at least seasonally. 2
Equus asinus individuals typically have narrow, concave and
slightly flexible hoofs which are suitable for rocky areas rather than flat
desert or sand dunes. 'Chestnuts' (vestigial remains of a 'thumb' or dewclaw)
are located only on the forelimbs. The dental array is: incissium 3/3, canine
1/1, premolar 3-4/3, molar 3/3, giving a total of 40 or 42 teeth. The incisors
are used to seize plants and break off portions, or sometimes to uproot the
whole plant while foraging, in which hoofs may also be employed. Donkeys
breathe ~22 times per minute. 7 Their
ears are proportionally much bigger than those of most other animals and enable
them to hear the distant calls of fellow donkeys. The long ears also help to
cool the donkey's blood. Donkeys' tough digestive system can break down
near-inedible vegetation and extract moisture from food more efficiently.
The normal lifespan of a donkey in good health can
exceed 50 years, but their lives are often shortened by poor management and
parasite infestation. 12 In Ethiopia a donkey life span is ~9 years, but they can live up to 25 years
under adequate health care and improved nutrition. 10 Their average
lifespan is about 15 years in Mexico. In some countries Jennies are not kept by
donkey owners, who believe that, "Jennies cause problems and do not work well".
Thus in such areas the ratio of males to females is about 4:1 which causes
lowered donkey production. Abandoned Jennies are mostly killed by predators. 20
Where jacks are left uncastrated, this can also cause problems, as intact jacks
can be aggressive towards younger males and even kill them. 11
In the wild, donkeys graze from dawn till late morning
and again in the late afternoon; they rest in the heat of the day and around
midnight, when they will actually lie down to sleep, leaving one or more of
their number standing on guard. Much of
their behaviour is governed by their herd-animal nature.Some wild male donkeys
are territorial, inhabiting and defending specific areas for several weeks. 7

When not sexually excited – sometimes a problem in
intact males of any species – or being aggressive towards carnivores, donkeys
are very friendly, calm, quite, patient, intelligent, cautious, playful, and
eager to learn and enjoy the company of humans. They have great endurance. They
are very cautious and agile on poor tracks. They are notorious for stubbornness,
but this is due to some handlers' misinterpretation of their highly-developed
sense of self preservation. It is difficult to force or frighten a donkey into
doing something it sees as contrary to its own best interest. Donkey is
self-preserving in nature, but it is often wrongly called 'stubborn' by humans.
This almost certainly reflects the handlers' shortcomings rather than thedonkeys'.
They prefer to do what is good for themselves, which is not always what the
human thinks is best, especially when it comes to getting their feet wet. They
dislike stepping in water or on wet areas, and even dislike bridges over dry gullies. Donkeys can perform all the
gaits that horses or mules do, 18 , 19 but prefer a four-footed
12. Some possible markings around a donkey's head (www.donkeypower.donkecology.com)
Donkeys can
defend themselves with a powerful kick of their hind legs, but they can also
chop down with their front legs from a rearing position, or even with one
foreleg on the ground, and have been known to kill dogs in this way. A donkey's
eyes are placed such that it can see all four feet at any one time, 19 and
they are notable careful about where they put their feet, even when they are
moving fast.
males are dominant over individuals of their own species. Adults of both sexes
are dominant over juveniles. No regular leadership is observed in large groups.
7 Territorial stallions chase or escort intruding males away from
the mares. A territorial donkey stallion shows dominance by posture: holding their head upright,
forward facing ears, ritual chasing of other stallions and examination of other
individuals' scents. As seen in all equids
and mammals generally, donkey foals engage in many play behaviours. They
frolic, run, chase, buck, jump and leap. They toy with interesting objects in
their environment. They pick up, carry, sniff, chew, shake, pull or paw items.
Foals mount other young and also adults. They engage in 'King of the Mountain'
competitions, block passageways to exclude others, and engage in play fighting.
At the age of one year, a donkey foal still spends most of its time no more
than 10 m away from mother,2 and may not be weaned until the next
foal is born to its mother, sometimes not even then.
Donkeys are herd animals and, while preferring their
own species, can adapt to live in groups of a different species such as horses,
sheep and goats. 1, 11

Vocal expression
tend to express themselves vocally only when they know they can be heard, and
that attention will be paid to their needs.
Braying: Donkeys
have developed very loud voices, really raspy and brassy. The bray is the
characteristic 'hee-haw' as "aw-ee, aw-ee" and can be heard for over 3
kilometres. This enables donkeys to keep
in touch with other members of their herd over the wide spaces of the desert,
19 and is often an expression of frustration or loneliness. 14
Jacks especially seem to enjoy braying and will 'sound off' at any opportunity
(www.lovelongears.com, 2011). 18
Donkeys are
adapted to living in arid or semi-arid areas and so need to separate somewhat
for grazing and browsing; therefore braying is significantly important in their
life in case of danger. 7 The bray is produced during both the air
intake for the "ee" and air outflow for the "aw". Typically, braying consists
of a series of brays, primarily by males. They are mechanically produced with
some variation and terminated when the animal becomes short of breath. The
acoustic character, duration and sequence, some "ee-aw, while others "aw-ee",
are unique to each animal. 6
Other sounds:
Donkeys have a considerable vocal range.
Even within the bray, experienced listeners can detect differences in
emphasis and intent. A donkey facing
danger can make a sound very like the roar of a lion, and in more intimate
situations, as when a donkey is expecting food or meeting a friend after an
absence, there are various grunts and whines that can convey its feelings.
in the donkey range from the gray shades of gray-dun to brown, black,
light-faced roan (both red and gray), variants of sorrel, the blue-eyed ivory,
frosted/spotted white, bay and spotted
pattern. Real horse Pinto, Horse aging
gray, horse Appaloosa, Palomino and buckskin colours do not occur in the donkey
(www.lovelongears.com, 2011). 18
Although most
donkeys are of the familiar gray-dun colour, theycan have lots of colour
shades. Most donkeys have dorsal stripes and shoulder crosses, leg barring
(garters), dark ear marks as well as light points, white muzzle and eye rings,
white belly and inner legs. 18 Unless white all over, they do not
haveany white colour on their rump. 7

This refers to a line of darker hair starting with the mane and running to the
end of the tail, called 'dorsal stripe'or 'eelstripe'. This is usually crossed
at the withers by another darker line of hair, or 'shoulder stripe', forming a
cross. The shoulder stripe may be long, very short, thin, wide, fading or
dashed. Shorter crosses, or
intersections along the dorsal stripe, can also occur starting back of the
shoulder stripe and diminishing towards the tail. Crosses are not seen on all donkeys, but can
even be discernible sometimes on black donkeys.
are commonly light areas or 'points' around the eyes (eye rings), muzzle and
belly and on the insides of the legs.
When these areas are light, so, also, is the inside of the ears.
donkeys also have dark markings on the ears, and as 'garters'(or zebra marks)
around the legs or as 'zippers'down the inside of the forelegs.
dark markings can often be found on the side of the neck (collar buttons), and
above and below the eyes – see Fig. 12.
17. Thriving on dry grass(www.donkeypower.donkecology.com)
Relationships with other species
Donkeys and horses
belong to the Equidae family, but
there are some morphological differences, which can make a difference to the
equipment which each can use. For
instance, points nine, 10 and 11 below mean that donkeys cannot be efficiently
or comfortably saddled and hitched in the same way as horses.
1. The donkey only has chestnuts (epidermal
callosities) on the inner surfaces only of its forelegs, whereas the horse has
them on all four legs.
2. The donkey has a long head with a big
nasal cavity compared to the horse's short and wide head.
3. The ears of donkeys are longer than 20 cm,
and hairy, but the ears of horses are shorter than 15 cm in adults in length
and less hairy.
4. Donkey hoofs are higher, smaller,
narrower, longer and more flexible than horse hoofs, whereas horse hooves are lower,
bigger, rounder and broader and more of a unit.
5. Pasterns are more upright in a donkey than
in a horse, i.e. the angle between the donkey's hoof and the ground is steeper.
6. A forehead blaze is rare and nose blaze
and white socks virtually unknown on donkeys, whereas horses often have these.
7. The donkey tail is terminally tufted, a
'broom tail', with long hair confined to the distal half, but the horse's whole
tail is long-haired, long hairs growing from its base.
8. A donkey neck is straighter than a horse's
9. The donkey has virtually no withers, and
it is not prominent as in horses – in other words, the donkey scapulae are on a
level with its anterior spine.
10. A donkey's crupper and rump are also not
as pronounced as those of horses, it pelvis having a slightly different angle
compared to that of a horse.
11. A donkey generally has a straight back and
a dipped loin, with the spine pitched slightly above the ribs, whereas a horse
commonly has a slightly swayed back and is level across the spine and rib joins
and over the pelvis.
12. The donkey mane is usually coarse, stiff
and upright, but all horse manes are long-haired.
13. A forelock is generally absent on donkeys,
but all horses have forelocks.
14. In an emergency situation donkeys behave
purposefully and calmly, regrouping if they can and facing the danger, but
horses can bolt for long distances.
15. The gestation period for a donkey can vary
between 10 and 14 months, but the gestation of a horse is about 11 months or
336 days.7, 9, 14, 18

Donkeys and cattle
When a donkey is compared to an ox, there are some
advantages and disadvantages to be considered (Table 2):
Table 2: Comparison of donkeys with cattle
ADVANTAGES of donkeys cf cattle
DISADVANTAGES of donkeys cf cattle
food more efficiently
only one stomach, must eat frequently, particularly before working
work almost twice as hard
must drink mother's milk frequently
eat only about 1/5th total
breed produces milk surplus to what is needed by young
eat only about 1/12th high value food
work well with friends, so they need to be bought in pairs
drink only about 1/4 water
go far, and quickly, so they need supervision.
for kilogram, donkeys thus produce more work for less food
heat better
live up to 50 years and thus produce around 50.000 hours of work in a
long distances to find food, so exhaust less of environment
slower than oxen, often faster
easy to train
acceptable for women and children to use
from fewer diseases
not suffer from Foot and Mouth Disease
22.Browsing on twigs (www.donkeypower.donkecology.com)
Religion and myth
donkey may have been the manifestation of the Egyptian God of Seth, and is also
the animal associated with the Greek god Dionysus. In the Christian Gospels,
Jesus rides a donkey into Jerusalem. 19 As this donkey
is also a colt, a deeper symbolism is probably represented, but certainly the
association between Hebrew kings and donkeys is intended. Outside of the
scriptures, there are other myths associating donkeys with Jesus. In Hindu
mythology a donkey (in Sanskrit) gardbha
is the vahana (vehicle) of the god
Kalaratr. 17 In parts of India the ritual marriage of
two donkeys is supposed to usher in good monsoon rains. 16

are favourable for human life for centuries.Some studies showed that a couple
of donkey can produce a draught force of 15-20% of their combined body weight
for three hours a day. In this way a couple of donkeys is enough to do all
tillage work in light soil and can do secondary tillage and inter culture in
other soil types. The speed of working donkeys is generally higher than oxen. 4
Each year fossil fuels lessen and one day will be finished. Other energy
sources are either too expensive or not developed enough yet to use. Power of
donkey should not be ignored and humanity will need it in the future. Donkey is
apotential of world's livestock heritage.They will be an important actor of the
world's domestic livestock genetic resources and biodiversity. All of those
reasons donkey will have a significant role in the future. All breeds should be
conserved as a genetic material in donkey genetic pool.

The intellectual property challenges from 3D printing 3D print technology has been used for complex engineering design by specialist companies for over 15 years. Greater availability and affordability of 3D printing has sparked a revolution, the implications of which are said by some to be limitless as all that is needed to produce a product is a printer, software, raw materials and a design. This shift in control of production means that designers, owners and those that carry out 3D printing need to be aware of the way in which intellectual property rights will be created, how these should be protected, when they might be infringed and what remedies are available. Intellectual property (IP) rights affected will include: Design rights Design rights can be registered and unregistered and protect the shape and configuration of products.
Nasa tests 3D-printed rocket engine fuel injector 15 July 2013Last updated at 08:24 ET Nasa says 3D printing could one day be used by astronauts to make replacement parts Nasa has announced it has successfully tested a 3D-printed rocket engine part. The US space agency said that the injector component could be made more quickly and cheaply using the technique. 3-D Printed Car Is as Strong as Steel, Half the Weight, and Nearing Production Engineer Jim Kor and his design for the Urbee 2. Photo: Sara Payne Picture an assembly line not that isn't made up of robotic arms spewing sparks to weld heavy steel, but a warehouse of plastic-spraying printers producing light, cheap and highly efficient automobiles. If Jim Kor's dream is realized, that's exactly how the next generation of urban runabouts will be produced. His creation is called the Urbee 2 and it could revolutionize parts manufacturing while creating a cottage industry of small-batch automakers intent on challenging the status quo. Urbee's approach to maximum miles per gallon starts with lightweight construction – something that 3-D printing is particularly well suited for.
Fast 3D printing with nanoscale precision 285-micron racecar (credit: Vienna University of Technology) Printing three dimensional objects with very fine details using two-photon lithography can now be achieved orders of magnitude faster than similar devices in a breakthrough by Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) researchers. The 3D printing process uses a liquid resin, which is hardened at precisely the correct spots by a focused laser beam. The focal point of the laser beam is guided through the resin by movable mirrors and leaves behind a hardened line of solid polymer a few hundred nanometers wide. This fine resolution enables the creation of intricately structured sculptures as tiny as a grain of sand.

A 3D Printer's Guide to Intellectual Property Rights When objects are copied without permission, there is a distinct possibility of infringing third party rights. Here is a guide to the various intellectual property rights which could well protect those objects. We explain what will and will not amount to infringement1. How to make big things out of small pieces MIT researchers have developed a lightweight structure whose tiny blocks can be snapped together much like the bricks of a child's construction toy. The new material, the researchers say, could revolutionize the assembly of airplanes, spacecraft, and even larger structures, such as dikes and levees. The new approach to construction is described in a paper appearing this week in the journal Science, co-authored by postdoc Kenneth Cheung and Neil Gershenfeld, director of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms.
Open Source, Powder-Based 3-D Printer Has Full-Color Potential PWDR doesn't look fancy, but it could be the first technicolor tool for 3-D printing. PWDR is an open source, inkjet-based 3-D printer that has the potential to bring a Wizard of Oz-like range of color to the previously black and white world of additive fabrication. Unlike the MakerBot and RepRap printers that build objects by melting plastic, or the Form 1 that uses a laser to cure resin, PWDR works just like a desktop printer. An HP inkjet deposits a liquid binder, mixed with ink, onto a layer of white gypsum powder. After the printhead passes, a roller bar drags a thin layer of powder across the surface and the process repeats a couple hundred, or thousand, times. When completed, the printer looks like a fish tank full of baby powder and the model needs to be carefully removed, dusted off, and dipped in clear glue that infiltrates the part and solidifies it.

Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend...
Peachy Printer - The world's first $100 3D Printer Sep.21, 2013 Unlike most low cost 3D printers on the market which focus on using cheap component but similiar 3D printer design, Saskatchewan, Canada based Rylan Grayson invented his own: the Peachy Printer, the world's first $100 3D printer. The peachy printer is a Photolithographic printer which uses a controlled beam of light to cure light sensitive resin into hard objects. The peachy moves a laser beam along the X and Y axes to create the shape of the object, while using a drip system to control the level of the resin on the Z axis which determines the height of the object. How does it work? 3D Printer
3D printing and Intellectual Property – why are they a misfit? – ipstrategy.com By Joren De Wachter In my previous post at JorenDeWachter.com I explained how 3D printing affects the world of Intellectual Property (IP), and how this creates all kinds of problems for IP rights. In this blog I will expand a little bit on why that is the case, and whether something can be done about it. 1. Personalized manufacturing The green 3D printing materials we've been waiting for There's no denying that 3D printing has moved beyond the laboratory and into the mainstream. We've seen 3D printed body parts, electronics, and toys. Although the technology has quickly become quite sophisticated, the materials used in 3D printers have been slow to catch up. Though the idea of print-you-own has big green implications, there's nothing earth-friendly about an uptick in plastic junk floating around the planet.
NIH launches 3D print exchange NIH launches 3D print exchange By GCN StaffJun 23, 2014 The National Institutes of Health has launched a 3D Print Exchange, a public website that lets users share, download and edit biomedical 3D print files that can be used to print custom laboratory equipment and models of bacteria and human anatomy in 3D, the NIH said in its announcement.

about the project.
The Suitcase Project asks yonsei and gosei (fourth and fifth generation) Japanese Canadians and Americans what they would pack if uprooted from their homes in a moment's notice.
While these descendants of the internment and incarceration may never have to endure the same forced uprooting as their ancestors, Kayla Isomura's work examines how they, and those descended from families who experienced other forms of discrimination, remain affected by this history today through a series of photographs, short films and interviews.
Over the course of nearly three months, more than 80 subjects ranging in age and background shared their stories from cities in British Columbia, Canada and Washington, USA.
June 16, 2018 marked its debut at the Nikkei National Museum in Burnaby, British Columbia.
I never knew what my grandparents and great grandparents packed with them during the internment and incarceration of Japanese Canadians in 1942. They died before I could hear their own accounts of this history, yet the premise of The Suitcase Project began with my curiosity about this part of their lives. What challenges did they face when assembling their baggage? What were they forced to leave behind?
In early 2018, I took these questions to members of the younger generations of Japanese Canadians and Americans. More than 80 individuals were photographed and interviewed across Greater Vancouver, Vancouver Island, and Western Washington, the majority identifying as yonsei or gosei (fourth or fifth generation).
Each participant was given 24 to 48 hours notice to prepare their belongings, receiving instructions based on original documents distributed to Japanese Canadians and Americans during the Second World War. I wanted to discover how each participant would interpret the document they received. This process quickly turned into a conversation about the family narratives and life experiences of these individuals, and how this history continues to prevail more than 75 years later.
Listening to each participant share their stories has been a powerful experience. Many of us share similar narratives, but some cast contrasting perspectives on how this history has played a role in their lives. Regardless, our stories are complex and layered, and there is no one way to define those of us who belong to these generations.
I am beyond thankful for these stories and to these individuals for allowing me into their homes and spaces. Organizing and producing this project was exhausting, but the end product has been invaluable.
Since learning of my family's internment, I have spent the last few years constructing my own identity as a yonsei, and each encounter I have with this history continues to contribute to that. As I open this exhibit and close the chapter of discovery that coincided with its creation, I look forward to carrying these conversations forward into our immediate and broader communities.
To those who have supported and continue to support this work, thank you.

As part of our series of blog posts on mental health issues for Mental Health Awareness Week (16th -22nd May) Jane and Sam of Chilbolton Services, two addiction practitioners specialising in substance misuse, have kindly contributed this helpful piece on recognising the signs of addiction, and how to get help. Jane and Sam may be contacted directly on 07391 483245 or 07449 744875 or by referral from Winchester GP.
- Are your behaviours affecting more than your wallet?
- Is your ability to manage your work / family life beginning to suffer?
- Is your mental / physical health becoming impaired?
- Are you taking higher risks than you would ordinarily have done?
If you can identify with these few simple questions it could be that you are affected by addiction.
So just what is addiction?
Put simply addiction is a set of all consuming behaviours that produce a short lived 'high' or feel good factor at a long term detrimental cost to yourself.
These behaviours could include the misuse of substances such as drugs or alcohol, or be activities such as gambling, overworking, sex, porn and shopping to name a few, even relationships can become addictive.
You or someone you know may have an issue with something else not mentioned here, so it's important you know that any behaviour can have the potential to become addictive.
Signs of addiction
In a nutshell it's dependency; this can be physical and/or psychological. With drugs or alcohol you will be physically dependent and suffer withdrawals without it. You may also find you have compulsive thoughts which are out of your control. Compulsive thoughts about other activities not involving substances could indicate psychological dependence. Physical and psychological craving, losing control over the activity or substance and continuing to engage in it despite negative consequences are all signs of dependency.
So why do some people become addicted?
This is a complicated question which can never be fully answered as no two people are the same and there are many differing factors to consider e.g genes, morals and personalities, plus scientific research also now tells us that brain chemistry has a part to play in addiction.
Trying to cope with stressful situations such as work, family, relationships, illness and life in general can culminate in people using substances or engaging in activities that could become addictive.
Again ask yourself honestly;
- Are you more stressed than usual?
- How are you managing that stress?
- Are you or is someone close to you, concerned about your behaviour?
What part does 'tolerance' play in addiction?
After a while people will say that they don't get the same' buzz' they used to when using a substance or engaging in a certain activity, this in part is due to what is now happening in the brain. It will also mean that people will do more of the addictive activity or substance, in order to try and replicate the original 'buzz.'
If this feels familiar, you could be at an increased risk of potential overdose or of engaging in high risk behaviours that could prove very detrimental to your life.
Compulsion and craving
As tolerance increases you may find your thoughts getting more compulsive and obsessive, making you crave the substance or activity more and sometimes this can feel relentless. It is at this stage when you may feel you are losing control and are experiencing negative consequences in your life such as in relationships, finances, family, work or health.
If this is you or someone you know, there is hope and there is help available.
Becoming free of addiction
The first stage of freedom from dependency is recognising and admitting you may have a problem. The second stage is getting some support.
Support can help you to explore how you deal with everyday stresses and identify any deeper issues you may have. You may then be able to work at finding more helpful positive coping strategies.
However be prepared, honesty is 'key' in challenging and changing any negative behaviours.
NICE guidelines state that if you are using substances, especially alcohol and you think you may be dependent, you must NOT go abstinent without medical supervision, as this could induce seizures which could prove fatal. Your best chance of recovery is through integrated support and it is advisable that you seek medical advice in the first instance
