Welcome to Betrayal Trauma Recovery, this is Anne. I am honored to have a client on the podcast today. Her name is Florence. Florence is 75-years-old, and she has experienced a lot of trauma throughout her life, multiple, multiple times.
Florence: Thank you, Anne, it's nice to be here. Thank you for having this organization, it's something I wish I'd had 45 years ago.
Anne: Florence, I wanted to ask you, over the years, how has it change? How did you relate to it, say in your 30s or 40s or 50s? Did you try different things?
Florence: I have engaged several processes in trying to figure what was going on. I think this is, probably, one of the most challenging issues that a spouse can be called upon to deal with. I tell my husband, and everybody I know, that I'm everything I am today because of him, because I had to survive.
How Trauma Effects Functioning
Anne: How old were you, when you and your husband married?
Florence: I've been married forty-four years. I was introduced to his illness, but I didn't know it was an illness, three days after we were married.
Anne: You were about 30 at the time?
Florence: Yes, in my early 30s. My first reaction was devastation and fear. Back in those days, women didn't have the same options that they do today. I had just moved my two daughters and myself to a new location, where I had no friends and no associates and very little opportunity to find gainful employment to support myself. In doing so, I had cut off any support systems that I might've had, and I was really on my own.
Anne: Were you married before this?
Florence: I was.
Anne: You had children?
Florence: I was, I had two—
Anne: Okay, so you had two daughters coming into this marriage.
Betrayal Is A Form Of Abuse
Florence: They were five and eight. I went very deep into a place of trying to comprehend. I didn't call myself a spiritual person at that time in my life. I did not have a religious persuasion, and I found myself searching. In order to do that, I did what I think a lot of people do, from what I've read, is that they explore with their spouse, trying to figure out what it is that their spouse is looking for and needing. Of course, that leads one into, probably, the darkest places on earth, because it's a world of debauchery.
It didn't take me long to figure out that that was not for me. I had to make a heartfelt decision and tell my husband that I could not live that kind of life with freedom of sex with other people and going to nudist camps and pornographic exhibitions. It was just not the right thing for me at all. It hurt my heart, it didn't help my heart. He apologized and swore that he would never make those bad choices again, and we started over. Until the next time.
By the next time, I became aware of his activities, I knew enough to go for help. We both went through a lot of counseling. He was identified as a sex addict. That being said, there were not the organizations that there are today, like the SLAA, 12-Step programs. He went through a lot of one-on-one counseling, but it came trailing back in.
What Is The Abusive Cycle?
The problem was, I didn't realize that he had regressed back to those activities. I only was experiencing the negative behavior and the abuse, which, after 20, 25, 30 years of marriage, you get to the point where you do your own thing, you make the best of it, and if somebody wants to be a damn fool and act like a child, let them be a damn fool and act like a damn child. You just can't let your life be run by that, you know.
Anne: Did you know you were being abused, or did you just think of it as, "Oh, my husband's—"
Florence: I knew I was being abused and I knew he was sick. I've been doing a lot of reflecting, because the last year has been a year of repeated difficulties and such a challenge. I remember back when my youngest daughter was 15-years-old, and she and I took a trip out west, when we visited a childhood friend of mine. He asked me face-to-face, "What's wrong? You're not right." I said, "Well, my husband isn't right, he's sick." I didn't elaborate on it. How could I? I didn't have the words for it.
How Does Abuse Stay Hidden?
I remember thinking many years later, the only people that I could tell that to were people that I'd known for a long time, who actually had some confidence in me, because I became aware of the fact that nobody would believe me. People will say, "Oh, he's so charming," "Oh, he's such a sweet man." He is, and he's a beguiling, needful child.
What do you do, go out on the street and bang a drum, and say, "I'm being emotionally abused by a man who can't show me love, or who can't relate to me?" You can't do that. Nobody will believe you, so you try to create wellness within a challenging situation. That's what I did for years, until it all broke open. For the last ten years, I thought he had frontal temporal lobe disorder.
It makes the second time I've misdiagnosed him in my life. Obviously, I'm not much of a psychotherapist. Because of his anger, I felt that his actions were typical of frontotemporal lobe dementia. In fact, I actually got him to go to a neurologist. It was really embarrassing and a waste of time, "It's not Alzheimer's, I'm right, it's frontal temporal lobe." Well, I wasn't right. Yeah, it's very hard when you get older.
What Is Betrayal Trauma?
Things don't work the way they used to, when sex isn't what it was when you were kids. Every now and then, you get an opportunity to enjoy one another to some extent, and he gave me an STD. That was a rude awakening. He had been back to his old tricks. It took me four months to get him to come clean. He's been in one-on-one therapy, and three SLAA meetings a week since then, of his own volition. He's reading everything, voraciously, that he can on the subject. It's better late than never, I guess.
Anne: Wow. For our listeners, I just want to talk about SLAA for a minute. What she's referring to is called Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. There are multiple different types of 12-step for sexaholism. There's SLAA, there's SA, there's SAA, there's SALifeline. I personally do SALifeline. Now that we've had this overview, it sounds like, in the beginning, the way that you dealt with it was you tried to meet his needs, and then, as you got older and it just kept happening and happening, you started detaching. How would you say your reactions to him are now? Right now, at 75 and him 80?
Florence: It's been like a fast forward of an earlier movie of everything that ever occurred. I go in a circle. Some days I'm distraught and I'm in pain, and I feel sorry for myself. Then I go through days where I am so angry. Those are not bad days, because I let him have it. I tell him that he cannot sit there and put on the TV and not answer my questions that, after all, I've had all these years of going without. The least he can do is respond to me and pay attention.
How To Deal With Trauma And Abuse
I'm more demanding, and I don't accept his disassociation. Some days, I feel like nothing's ever happened, we're the best friends that we've always been. It's like a circular thing that goes around. I've been able to grapple with this, because now I can be honest with our friends and our family and everybody knows. The freedom to be honest and forthright makes it possible to handle and work with.
Anne: Absolutely. Without it, it's impossible. Now that we're in this different age, I'm 40, the first place we go, when we have something happen is we start searching for things online. We go to social media, "Let's see, is there a group like this on Facebook?" What thoughts do you have about women who are starting to search for this and think about this five years after marriage, or ten years after marriage? If you could go back and talk to yourself?
Florence: You can't help them. You can't fix them. I made a very concerted decision many, many years ago. Considering the pain and the grief and the disappointment and the challenges, probably 10 years into the marriage, that marriage wasn't just for me to feel comfortable and happy, it was a family. I was going to build a family out of the dregs of this mess, if it killed me. I think I did it.
Trauma Is Not Easy To Live With
Our children are very bonded, they laugh a lot. They say, "We don't care what happens to the two of you, we're bonded, and that's it." They spend holidays together and we had all the children and grandchildren with us for his 80th birthday last year. I feel very successful for that. It was in a different age. Today, there are avenues for healing, and that I think anybody who's identified with this kind of illness needs to get to the best possible resources.
Anne: I agree with you. At the beginning of recovery, especially now that there's so many resources, women are very excited, and their husbands are very excited like, "Oh, recovery is going to be awesome, it's going to be amazing." Then 5, 10 years down the road, it's a lot harder than they thought, and not the easy way.
Florence: It never goes away, and you end up being the caregiver. This has been my counterargument to my husband and all of his attempts to heal himself, as it was really convenient now that you're 80 and impotent, you made these choices to have a responsibility. That responsibility is to their partner and their families. As somebody who's suffered from it my whole life, you can't give me back the past 20 years.
How Connection Can Help With Trauma
I didn't know you were doing this. I knew you were being a jerk, but if I had known he had gone back to illicit deviant sexual practices, I wouldn't have stayed. I might've had the chance to build a life with someone who might've genuinely been able to care and show real regard. I miss that, and nobody can give that back to me. That's where the anger comes from.
I was told by a lot of professionals, "Oh, you need counseling." I tried that. I'm sure this isn't true across all mental health professionals, but what I found was that most therapists are not equipped to deal with this kind of addiction. They tend to try to use their behavior modification, which they've learned in graduate school somewhere, "If you do this, then he'll do that. If you do that." It doesn't work.
I went to four sessions with one therapist, and I just walked out. I said, "This isn't good for me. I'm getting angry about this." I quit going. I've also challenged my husband on the fact that the SLAA thing is very self-absorbing. They're all involved with taking care of themselves and getting better and praise God. You know, it's like, "Wait a minute, you're still just thinking about yourself. First, it was sex, and now it's your healing process. Where does that leave me?" It still leaves me on my own. It still leaves me wanting and wanting.
Why Abuse Is So Misunderstood
Anne: Florence joined the Betrayal Trauma Recovery Club. When you found us, how did you feel?
Florence: It was good to know that I wasn't alone. Most people just don't get it. They think your husband's a philanderer, of course they are, but there's so much more to it than that. The best thing that's happened to me in the last year is the ability to be honest, to speak my truth. I am still sad about the loss that I've had in my life.
There are people that have worse lives, and I'm not going to bemoan all the good things, but I think that people need to re-evaluate who they are and what they want. I do think that a lot of women, myself included, were raised with low expectations and low sense of self. We didn't really know when we weren't being treated well. We may have known it, but we didn't think we had any right to do anything about it.
Anne: I appreciate you sharing your story. I'm so grateful that you found Betrayal Trauma Recovery.
What To Do For Betrayal Trauma
We have a checklist that I've been developing for a year, for women to know exactly what they need to do when they find out about porn. If they find porn on the computer, if they have an inkling of, "Maybe my husband is looking at porn, or maybe he's having an affair," or have an inkling of abuse, this checklist is intended to save women years and years of their life, to save women of going through that cycle of trying to figure out what's going on, and put safety as their first priority, so they can get to safety immediately.
My life goal is to save women from years and years of pain and confusion. I want to get this checklist in the hands of every single woman all over the world, so that right when she suspects it, she knows exactly what to do.
Please plaster this all over the internet, put it on all your secret Facebook groups, let women know. At the end of January, we had almost 20,000 RSS subscribers. You are making BTR happen, thank you. It is changing lives. I'm so grateful for all of you who are part of this movement to create more peace and more happiness in this world. Until next week, stay safe out there.

"Mr. Pitler is a very professional, kind and empathetic lawyer that made me feel confident by representing me in my divorce and legal affairs. Divorce in of it self is difficult for the whole family and it was refreshing that I had someone who was able to guide me in the process."
"Excellent – I highly recommend... I want to start by saying that I give Randall Pitler and Pitler Family Law my highest possible recommendation. The decision to file for divorce can be a stressful, somber and life-changing event and probably one of the toughest chapters in one's life – it certainly was for me. I am very thankful that I found Mr. Pitler to help guide our family through this process. The One Lawyer divorce process put our family in control of our goals and Mr. Pitler was a very good ally from start to finish – knowledgeable, supportive and readily available to assist along the way. Always making us aware of different options, patient and respectful. I could not have asked for more. Do yourself, your future and your family a favor by choosing the right lawyer – and I highly recommend the services of Randall Pitler and Pitler Family Law."
"Mr. Pitler clearly explained to me the procedure and the steps we would follow in the divorce process, then he went ahead and completed the work in a very professional and timely manner. I am very happy with Mr. Pitler and his staff and would highly recommend Pitler Family Law and Mediation."
"I hired Randy after my husband researched amicable divorces, and we met with him. He was patient, and understanding of our situation offering ideas to help us come to an agreement. When my situation turned tumultuous, Randy did not ask for any more money, and spent so much time talking to me, giving his legal opinion, and helping guide me in a way that I was not going to be taken advantage or or bullied by my soon to be ex husband. He actually offered other attorneys for me to get second and third opinions from openly as he knew how nervous I was about the process. I would highly recommend this ethical, honest, kind man to anyone looking for an amicable divorce."
"Never would I have imagined that my divorce could be so easy. Randy, I will never be able to say thank you enough. You gave me a new lease on life, a fresh start. Thank you!"
"I would like to thank everyone at Pitler Family Law for all of your help with the divorce proceedings. You all handled my case very well and treated me with respect. Thank you so much!"
Mr. Pitler earned his law degree from the University of Detroit School of Law in 1992 and earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from Michigan State University in 1988. Prior to entering law school, he served as a Community Development Specialist for U.S. Senator Carl Levin. In addition, Mr. Pitler spent several years in Los Angeles working in the entertainment industry on several television shows, including Divorce Court, Power of Attorney, Biography, Intimate Portraits and Modern Marvels. A graduate of West Bloomfield High School, Mr. Pitler is divorced and shares equal parenting time with his two children. He currently resides in Huntington Woods.Learn More

The Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports it's looking for next of kin of three people whose bodies were stuffed into a Weymouth self-storage unit, along with nine other bodies, allegedly by an unlicensed Dorchester funeral director who now faces trial on 278 charges related to improper disposal of bodies and the theft of pre-funeral funds.
According to the DA's office, the three people whose remains have yet to be turned over to relatives for proper burial are:
- William J. McDougall, born in Washington state and a resident of the St. Joseph Nursing Center in Dorchester when he died at 67 in 2009.
- Maggie Moore, born in Alabama and a resident of the Annemark Nursing Home in Revere when she died at 65 in 2005.
- Sadie Waddy, born in Virginia and a resident of Bay Pointe Rehab in Brockton when she died at 90 in 2009.

A win for free speech and pro-life came courtesy of a California district court settlement, which ordered a professor to pay $17,000 after he tried to censor pro-life students drawing their message on the sidewalk with chalk.
Fresno State University public health professor Dr. Gregory Thatcher not only allegedly urged students from his class to erase the pro-life messages drawn by Fresno State Students for Life, he actually attempted to erase them himself.
After Thatcher's students attempted to erase the messages, which urged students to look for pro-life health care options, he showed up and tried to bully the pro-life students by telling them they were outside of the free speech zone and thus had no right to write their messages.
One problem: the free speech zone on the campus has not existed since 2015.
Bernadette Tasy, the pro-life club's president, confronted Thatcher, informing him that the pro-life group had permission from the university, but Thatcher remained obdurate, erasing the chalk with his shoe and snapping, "You have permission to put it down, and I have permission to get rid of it. This is our part of free speech. College campuses are not free speech areas. Do you understand? Obviously you don't understand."
Tasy told Fox News, "What the professor did was wrong, and the only permit a student needs to speak on campus is the First Amendment."
Video of the confrontation between Tasy and Thatcher is here:
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) fought for the pro-life students, and won the $17,000 settlement. Thatcher owes $1,000 to Tasy and $1,000 to another student, Jesus Herrera, as well as attorneys' fees. Thatcher was also ordered to take First Amendment training — provided by ADF.
Thatcher blustered that his insurance company would pay the fees, adding, "I did not, in any way, admit to any wrongdoing. I did agree to sit through a training seminar because I love to learn others' thoughts and opinions."
Tasy got right to the point, saying, "The important thing is that Dr. Thatcher won't be able to interfere with our expressive activities again."
Travis Barham, ADF Legal Counsel, said that Thatcher's machinations against the First Amendment put him "in a league of his own," adding, "This is a particularly extreme case because you have a professor trying to wipe away the chalk himself. Far too often university officials try to play the role of speech police and try to restrict what can be said and where it can be said on campus."
As the College Fix pointed out, Thatcher is still listed as faculty in the Department of Public Health.

Perek Shira tells us that the fish sing to Hashem, saying, Kol Hashem Al HaMayim, Kale HaKavod Hirim, Hashem Al Hamayim Rabim - "The Voice of Hashem is upon the waters, the G-D of glory thunders, Hashem is upon vast waters" (Psalms 29:3). We also learn that teh giant sea creatures say, Halilu Et Hashem Min Haaretz, Taninim V'Chal Tihomot - "Praise Hashem from the earth; sea giants and all watery depths" (Psalms 148:7). Just imagine having the spiritual ears to be able to hear how the underwater creatures are so gloriously singing Hashem's praise. Maybe we can't hear them, but we certainly can have the opportunity to see them...
Above: Ocellaris Clownfish hosting a Frogspawn Anemene, images courtesy of ZZ's Aquascapes
Hashem created and sustains all the creatures of the ocean - fish, coral, invertebrates, even aquatic mammals. The Gemara in tractate Chulin teaches that the sea has a corresponding creature to every organism that's found on land. That may even be an understatement, for it is mind-boggling to think about the vast area of the oceans on this planet as well as the unbelievable array of aquatic life that lives within!
I have had the blessing and privilege to see many of Hashem's creatures and oceans up close and first-hand. As someone who is a licensed scuba diver and has been diving since my teens, from the Red Sea of Eretz Yisroel to the Pacific waters of Hawaii, I am fascinated by marine life. My love for the underwater world has continually grown throughout my life, to the point where I have made my hobby of Aquarium design and maintenance develop with G-D's help to my livelihood.
bove: Z.Z.'s 24-gallon Nano Reef Aquarium stocked full with live corals
The most gratifying thing for me is to watch someone who has not had the luxury of seeing many of Hashem's wide variety of colors, shapes and textures which make up His living corals and fish, see them for the first time, and not at 50 feet below the water's surface, but in my living room! I call my Live Coral Reef Aquarium, "The Teshuva Tank!" I ask everyone who sees it, "Now can you honestly say, that with all of these colors, shapes and personalities, that there does not exist a Creator?"
Many people don't realize that corals are living organisms. They are marine invertebrates and they secrete calcium carbonate to build a hard skeleton. Corals live anywhere from just beneath the surface to maybe 80 or 90 feet down. Like fish, they eat microorganisms. Yet, they mimic plants and photosynthesize light to obtain additional nutrition. Who other than Hashem could possibly create such a magnificent creation? Impossible! It is mind-boggling, every time I gaze at this underwater paradise that Hashem has so blessed me with the caretaker of, and a partner in building and creating as well. To go to the ocean and walk along the shore, speaking to Hashem, is a priceless gift. To have the luxury of contemplating Hashem's greatness, and speaking to him while actually observing his underwater creatures, takes it an entire other level. Try doing hitbodedut - personal prayer - in a dark room sitting by your own illuminated saltwater aquarium and you'll see what I mean.
When skeptics come over and I discuss G-D's greatness, when I discuss the behaviors of the corals, and they see the array of specimens, they say to me, "maybe you have a point!" This is why I call it "The Teshuva tank"! One look and and all pre-conceptions go out the window! To also see the relationship between my Clownfish and my Corals (usually they host = live inside) an anemone, but in the Teshuva tank, they are hosting a beautiful Frogspawn coral, a sight to see! And just as a fish' eyes are always open , our Father in Heavens' are as well!
I invite everyone who is reading this, to always take the time out to look at the Sky...and don't forget, to also look into the Waters. What you may witness is not only a window into G-D's world, but a window into yourselves!

Co-op Hiring Process
The hiring process for co-op jobs is similar to what you'll find in the "real world": jobs must be won in competition with all applicants for the position. That includes other University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) co-op students and possibly students from other universities if the employer chose to post with multiple schools.
On this page:
- How to succeed in your job search
- Inactivity during your job search
- Finding co-op jobs through CSM
- Finding your own work term
- Why are some jobs available to other co-op students?
- Deviating from your work term sequence
How to Succeed in Your Job Search
As partners in your success, we'll make every effort to support you in your career training and job search. However, it's important that you play an equally active role. Over the years, we've noticed a few common trends with our most successful students and have compiled them for you:
Actively attend and participate in your co-op courses
We all know that life can get busy, but ensuring that you set time aside to attend the COPB52, COPC98, and COPC99 courses can help to develop your job search savviness, and helps maintain your job search as a top priority.
Check CSM every day and apply to jobs frequently
Kick-start your job search process by regularly checking CSM from the moment that you get access to job postings. To secure a job, you need to apply to several positions, so increase your chances of being hired by applying to as many jobs as possible early in the semester. How often should you check and apply for jobs? We recommend checking CSM daily, if possible, and then applying to as many jobs in each week as you can.
Did you know: Half of the jobs are usually posted in the first month of the job search term, so it's a prime opportunity to apply and secure a job quickly.
Communicate with your Work Term Engagement Coordinator
Your work term engagement coordinator is your point person for support, advice, and encouragement, so stay in close contact with them. The better they know you, the more they can help (and possibly even point you in the right direction for a new posting that you haven't seen yet!).
Be available to meet in person
You never know when you'll be invited to attend an interview or a meeting, so it's important that you stick around Toronto to be there in person. If it's unavoidable and you know you'll be out of town during your search, let your Work Term Engagement Coordinator know.
Read posting details and deadlines carefully
Start a relationship with your potential future employer off on the right foot: apply on time, and don't miss the application details. Make sure that you read each job posting carefully before you apply, taking careful note of the application method and deadline. We cannot accept or forward late applications to the employer.
Be open-minded about the jobs you're applying for
You may have a very clear vision of your dream job, but please keep in mind your co-op jobs will help you build towards that role. You'll need to prove your skills and build a portfolio of varied experiences first. To do this, we recommend that you consider each opportunity and even companies that you may not have heard of, look for jobs outside of the GTA, and read the full job description rather than just the title.
Inactivity During Your Job Search
If maintaining a high level of activity is a challenge for you, it's best to reach out to your Work Term Engagement Coordinator to help develop a job search action plan. If inactivity continues, they'll reach out to you to discuss options to defer your work term.
Finding Co-op Jobs Through CSM
As an Arts & Science co-op student, you'll have access to high-quality, reliable opportunities that have been carefully reviewed and approved through CSM. Once we have confirmed your eligibility to participate in a job search cycle, you'll gain access to the job postings that are relevant to your academic program. The positions posted on CSM are with organizations that have partnered with the Arts & Science Co-op Office to hire co-op students. All roles have been vetted by our office and will meet co-op program requirements. Students are encouraged to use CSM as their primary source for co-op job postings.
Independent Job Search
From time to time, students choose to conduct an independent job search in conjunction with a search for a pre-approved co-op job on CSM. If this is an option that you'd like to consider, please discuss this with your Work Term Engagement Coordinator.
At the time you have received an offer, you will need to submit the following information to your Work Term Engagement Coordinator for review and consideration by the department to determine if it will qualify as a work term.
- Position Title
- Company Name
- Start and end dates
- Duration of the work term (must be a minimum of 12 weeks and a minimum of 420 hours)
- Full job description
- Proof that this is full time work (minimum of 30 hours per week)
- Pay is at least minimum wage
- Address of the work location
Name and contact information of your supervisor
*note that a member of our Business Development Team will be in touch with this individual to verify and finalize details for the work term
- Confirmation that you have discussed this as a work term opportunity with your future employer
- Your rationale indicating why you would like this position to count as your work term and how this position relates to your program of study
Please note that if your work term is outside of Canada, additional documents will be required. Your Work Term Engagement Coordinator will advise you of this.
Upon receiving these details, the Co-op Office will review and determine whether your work term is approved. The Co-op office may connect with the employer as part of the approval process.
Entrepreneurial Work Terms
Entrepreneurial work terms are a possibility! However, these will require an in-depth review through the co-op office. Should this be something you want to consider, please discuss it with your Work Term Engagement Coordinator.
Why Are Some Jobs Available to Other Co-op Students?
The world of job seekers is a competitive one, where recruiters look to obtain the widest possible pool of applicants. This type of competition also extends to co-op students across Canada; no matter what program or university, co-op students are sometimes in competition with others for similar roles.
So what's the advantage? As a U of T co-op student, you receive an unparalleled amount of training and preparation — over 55 hours! — before you even begin your first work term. The job search tools, knowledge, practice and preparation, coupled with U of T's academic prowess, will set you apart from the rest. By far, this is your biggest asset.
What happens if I don't secure a work term?
If you've undertaken an active job search and haven't secured a position, you'll automatically be entered to seek into the next semester.
An active job search includes:
- Consistent engagement and application to positions on CSM, externally, or both throughout the semester;
- Communication with your WTEC providing updates on your situation; and
- Attending interviews requested.
You'll then develop a plan of action with your Work Term Engagement Coordinator designed to support your success during the next available job search cycle.
If you haven't engaged in an active job search, you won't be permitted to seek in the next semester and will have an alternate work term sequence set by the Co-op Office. This could impact your academic progression through the program or delay your graduation date.
Flexible Co-op Work Terms During the Pandemic
To maintain our high standards for quality work term experiences, we require that co-op roles meet a specific set of requirements in terms of duration, pay, and academic alignment to receive credit for a work term.

The College Television Awards' Nominee Summit
Nominees heard from Outlander and Dancing with the Stars Executives
The College Television Awards' Nominee Summit with Outlander and Dancing with the Stars Executives
For students without industry experience or connections, the dream of breaking into television may seem daunting. In an effort to help talented young storytellers lay a foundation for their careers, the Television Academy Foundation is committed to offering hands-on education and industry access for young aspiring creators through The College Television Awards. The ceremony which was held on Saturday, March 16 honored student-produced projects from different universities in various categories.
Ahead of the show, students participated in a three-day informative nominee summit that gave students the opportunity to network with industry professionals over a breakfast hosted by FilmLA.
In attendance were former College Television Award winners as well as executives from STARZ and BBC Studios. During the breakfast, students were greeted by the Television Academy Foundation staff and leaders while they enjoyed themed panel discussions. Two of the sessions from the summit included informative topics such as: "A Conversation with Creators" with Outlander's Executive Producer Toni Graphia and Senior Vice President of Original Programming at STARZ, Karen Bailey, as well as "27 Seasons and Counting: The Making of a Reality TV Hit" with Dancing with the Stars Showrunner and Executive Producer Andrew Llinares and Co-Executive Producer Deena Katz.
Students received invaluable information about building their careers and enjoyed listening to the challenges and joys of the inner-workings of television. "The amount of information that we've received as well as the people that we got to meet has been amazing," said Ryder Chasen a student from Northwestern University nominated in the Variety Category. Panel discussions aside, the students also participated in speed-dating style networking opportunities with seasoned writers, animators and directors – several of whom are alumni of the College Television Awards - who were thrilled to offer industry advice. "Coming in, we knew that the [summit] was going to be great but it has been beyond great," Chasen said with a smile.

Give your dining room a whole new style with our expert advice. We know how stressful catering for the whole family can be when it comes to the festive season, so stick with us for more information on how to style your dining room ready for the numerous dinner parties!
Set The Mood
Great lighting is essential for a cosy dining room. Try to get a ceiling light which is dimmable so you can set the scene however you'd like. It will ensure you can have a cosy setting whilst not too dark as well as a bright light for when you need to use the dining room for alternative occasions. Another good idea is dotting a few lamps and candles around the room to create a welcoming mood.
Focal points
Creating a focal point is important in any room, for a dining room, think about creating a focal point by using wallpaper or paint. A rich, dark colour such as deep purple or navy will instantly make the dining room look on trend and feel cosy and welcoming. The deep colours can be accentuated by using metallics and silver or gold ornaments, perfect for setting the christmas scene. Having gold accents such as cutlery or christmas crackers on the dining table will really stand out against any dark background.
Seating Plan
It is important to keep your guests comfortable throughout dinner parties so ensure you choose comfy seats such as our Cuba Leather Chair, with wipeable fabric and a supportive back, you can relax knowing your guests are comfortable and your furniture won't get ruined!
If space in your dining room is limited, opt for a bench instead of individual chairs, this way you can tuck the bench under the table during the days when you're not using your dining room. For Christmas, you can alter your chairs with a seasonal ribbon which can be tied around the back with a cluster of baubles attached.
Storage furniture
Storage furniture is absolutely paramount in any dining room, it can store all of your occasion dinnerware as well as fine china and bits and bobs you collect. Our Enfield Oak Dresser is perfect to hold all your keepsakes in all year round with excellent storage space. Over the festive season, your special tableware can be placed on the table for a decorative look even if you won't be using it. It will instantly lift any dining room to feel more glamorous and ready for a party.
Dress the table
Our favourite part of the festive season is being able to put out all the Christmas decorations! Dress your dining room to impress your guests with a stunning centrepiece, napkins, tea light holders and quirky table decorations. To keep the decoration interesting, incorporate different materials such as metals against wood and velvets against glass, this will create substance and will instantly interest your guests.
Adding these little bits of interest into your dining room will create the perfect space to entertain your guests during the festive season. Your room will be cosy yet classically decorated with some great pieces of furniture for that all important storage space.

Gosh I hate seeing the Tarot Tower card in an important reading.
I know that the Tower has blessings within it and I can relate to the structure of the actual tower in the image.
But darn it all, when you look around and see the catastrophic possibilities of the jolt of lightning that knocks you off your "ego pedestal"- it does send a shock wave through you entire essence.
Yes it purges, and eliminates all that is not necessary as the Lenormand Scythe does BUT it still puts you in a walking on quick sand state of mind.
When I did this reading – the warning was there. Even though the immediate future card was the Star (hope, etc) and the outcome card was the wonderful Ace of Cups – I still felt the ripple effect of a decision someone else made where I had no control.
The question is how to take the experience of the Tower card and move on into the pending Ace of Cups. A new beginning on an emotional level.
I am starting to think that the re-invention of oneself is necessary. It is a hurdle to get past the residue effects of the Tower card and stop and look at life differently. It is the next stage of Spiritual development.
When the Universe blocks you from moving into a direction that you feel you must, then it is not in the highest good of all concerned. It is not part of the bigger Plan. This requires a substantial amount of faith and trust (as depicted in the Star card).
I got news 2x that shattered (Tower) my belief system. It just isn't working any more and it is time to tear down the "ego's" I want this and I want that. I have found many people going through a similar transformation, people close to me and people I do not know personally but through the internet, my internet friends.
I think a shift is happening and we are getting caught in the movement of the shift.
"What is the significance of the Tower in the crowning position?
Of course, a rude awakening. The cards traditional meaning is one of destruction, collapse of structure (thinking), or a sudden jolt of experience that was not anticipated.
At first when I saw this card, I became troubled by it but as I studied card 6, the immediate future spot I had an extremely positive card. Can the manifestation of the Tower card be avoided? If it an a probable outcome, then it is possible. I think that the probable outcome happens anyways and so does the final outcome. Card 6 leads to the probable outcome.
How you handle card 6 is indicative of how you get through the crowning cards and in this case it is the Tower card.
The last, or final outcome card is the Ace of Cups, always a welcome card. It points to new beginnings. Being it is a cup, the new experience is on an emotional level. Getting excited about something again. A re-birthing of feelings and that is good.
In order to greet the Ace of Cups, the Tower must be lived through. It could be a riveting experience.
The Tower paves the way, for the Ace of Cups. Old and negative thought patterns must be eliminated. How can you honestly feel a new positive emotion, for example- happiness or love if you have shadows of negative mixed in with it.
There is definitely some dramatic and profound change coming."

Heroes don't always wear capes. In fact, most dress in uniform, willing to go to lengths others wouldn't. Such champions include Saved In America, a group of retired officers determined to see sex trafficking to an end. But as with most, there aren't usually enough eyes to account for every victim. Luckily, skepticism exists inherently in many, which is what led ticket agent Denice Miracle towards the rescue of two teen girls.
"Between the two of them, they had a bunch of small bags," Miracle said. "It seemed to me as if they were running away from home. They kept looking at each other in a way that seemed fearful and anxious. I had a gut feeling that something just wasn't right."
Led to believe they would earn $2,000 to act in a music video, the teens ultimately fell for a far more dangerous scheme. After phoning the local sheriff, Miracle discovered both teens were carrying doctored one-way tickets.
"I'm proud of Denice and how she put her training into action to save these children," said AA General Manager Aleka Turner.
Not all miracles are orchestrated by higher beings — sometimes they're just people.

12 Strong winds up being an almost-good film about some great American soldiers.Washington PostJanuary 18, 2018
More often than not, "12 Strong" feels like a sports movie, where all the stakes rest not on matters of honor and duty, but on a single field goal.NewsdayJanuary 18, 2018
A fairly straightforward and enjoyable movie about an extremely complicated and demoralizing war. Its goal is to focus on a small group of heroes, and it shows little interest in the bigger picture.New York TimesJanuary 18, 2018
For devotees of cinematic blowouts and dedicated students of screen masculinity (like me), "12 Strong" is premium, Grade A catnip.TIME MagazineJanuary 18, 2018
In the end, the feat these characters pull off is rousing, but 12 Strong never gathers the momentum it needs.Chicago TribuneJanuary 18, 2018
It's not a bad movie, as far as it goes. In terms of context, though, it goes virtually nowhere.Cinemaclips.comJanuary 18, 2018
'12 Strong' finds its strength as a flag-waving, stand-up-and-cheer movie.Blu-ray.comJanuary 18, 2018
Ultimately registers as old-fashioned and artificial, like a WWII propaganda movie trying to drum up sales for war bonds.Slant MagazineJanuary 18, 2018
As Nicolai Fuglsig doesn't allow any complicated thoughts about war, colonization, and mortality to hover around his characters, 12 Strong inevitably proceeds as a jaunty imperial adventure through the wilds of northern Afghanistan.Austin ChronicleJanuary 18, 2018
Yet what could have been a flag-waving slog across the beautiful wilderness of Afghanistan (substituted here by New Mexico), interspersed with massive explosions, is instead surprisingly elegant for a blockbuster.Original CinJanuary 18, 2018
Big-screen military fireworks are a signature of producer Jerry Bruckheimer and in that department 12 Strong doesn't disappoint. Things blow up good. Believability? Not so much...The PlaylistJanuary 18, 2018
The real-life heroes who bravely risked their lives deserve something better than the forgettable mediocrity that is '12 Strong', and truth be told, audiences deserve more too.

There are many more things to consider when preparing for a show aside from remembering the songs. The sets I find myself playing these days are more part specific than improvised and freewheeling. I often have to re-create or imply the tones and emotion that is present on the albums we are playing songs from.
By the last two rehearsals before a show I have my sounds sorted and it's time to start taking notes. I like to document my entire signal chain and settings. It makes set-up/tear down quick and easy on stage and you have a permanent record for future gigs. First thing I do when I'm solid on my sounds is open up a program like Paint and draw the order that the effects are to be placed on the pedal board. I also color code all my cables. This makes it easier to trouble shoot onstage.
There is nothing worse than fishing through a sea of cables trying to confirm your signal path. It's not a matter if something goes wrong, it's when. If I can trace everything I can find it. I want to see what color the cable is coming out of the tape delay into the reverb. This also speeds up set-up on stage. Anyone who has played in NYC knows getting on and off stage is an Olympic event. I'm still waiting for a medal.
I recently played a showcase with Abby Ahmad at the Living Room. It was a full band/produced set. I had a semi complicated stage set up. My setup for guitar consisted of this:
Guitar: Fender Stratocaster
Amp: Carr Hammerhead
Effects: Peterson tuner-> Fulltone booster -> Keeley compressor -> Ernie Ball volume pedal -> Prescription Electronics fuzz -> Fulltone tremelo -> Fulltone tape echo -> Valve Train spring reverb
What complicates things is the fact that the delay and reverb are large boxes that don't fit on a pedal board. A little quirk of mine is I like to have the tape delay and spring reverb in front of me so I can twist the knobs as I'm playing.
For this particular show I also had a pro tools rig and keyboard that I was using to play Mellotron and various other samples. The guitar and Pro Tools rig had to be set up around me. I was in a little bubble so to speak, making it hard for the artist (Abby) to swat at me when I made inappropriate comments. You would be surprised how handy that is!!!!!
Because of the nature of the gig and it's complexity, it was important to have a clear path laid out prior to getting to the venue.
By sound check every placement had been planned and I printed a copy of the setup diagram for the gig. I take inventory after I get off stage. It's a good plan to have a routine. I like the same routine whether it's just me or I have assistants. This can reduce the likelihood of leaving something behind. My routine usually goes like this:
All really fragile items go in cases first!!!! That usually means guitars 1st, macbook 2nd, tape echo/reverb 3rd, mbox 4th, pedal board 5th, amp 6th, etc. All cables get wrapped individually using cable ties.
The point is to remove as many opportunities for things to go wrong as you can. You can get on and off stage in a timely manner with a fairly large rig if you have a master plan. It will also make the experience more enjoyable. You will think about the music more and not be consumed with chaos.

Debbie Hardy
I recently had a card reading from BOTI studios and I was focusing my question on my career (business). I just asked what they could tell me, what it was I need to know. They did the reading and sent it to me and I was amazed on how detailed and accurate it was! They hit on points of things that I was actually thinking about a few days before, and I had not told anyone of those ideas!! It gave me the confirmation that what I was thinking about doing is the right direction to go in. Thank you so much! I highly recommend a reading from BOTI Studios!
Lisa Farley

Love Lucy and Jenice, they are truly amazing and I very much appreciate the reading that was given on "Live". It was very helpful and spot on with my current life. I've recently gone on a spiritual awakening that has brought new changes and will need to do more mediation. Highly recommend BOTI Studios LLC page to anyone seeking guidance. Love and light many blessings
Kaila Mason
I won a free psychic reading from a raffle at the Learning Light Foundation in Anaheim a few months ago and had the honor of working with Lucinda and Jenice. Lucinda gave me not only an incredibly accurate "cold" reading (which was actually super warm and inviting) she also helped me heal on such an incredibly deep level. By far, the best reading I've ever had – I was deeply touched on a soul level and did not expect to also have a healing that day. Deep gratitude to this amazing team! And Jenice worked with balancing my auric field and elements with the pendulum – which wasn't even technically included in the reading that I had won. These beautiful women go above and beyond and are definitely from Above and Beyond. Blessings to you both and I love you infinitely, Sisters.
It's really about you. At BOTI Studios, our mission is to provide and expand high quality services to our clients, promoting balance and wellbeing. With awareness of this, we remember it's about the experience to the individual.

JIMMY CHOO has taken control of its mainland China business. The British brand had previously been working with a distribution partner, Kutu, since 2009.
The acquisition is already underway and is due to be completed in the fourth quarter, reports WWD. Jimmy Choo (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd was founded earlier this year, and will oversee the running of the 36 Asia stores.
"China is a vital market for Jimmy Choo, where we have ample opportunity for growth," said Pierre Denis, CEO of Jimmy Choo. "Having control in the market will allow us to further develop the brand and our business and become closer to our customers in the region."
The brand first expanded into mainland China back in 2007. Four more stores will open in the region in the coming months, with plans to launch another 30 stores in the next few years.

Financially secure, risk-aware: The future of credit
Here's where retailers can learn more about making payments secure – benefitting both consumers and businesses.
With technology moving at such a rapid pace, it's hard to remember a time where we couldn't just tap, click and have something arrive at your door. With the ability to tap for sushi, a ride home or even a whole other human to date, instant gratification is the new black.
Speed, personalisation and convenience are now what customers expect. If you can't reach your customers where they are, with what they want, and make it super easy to get it, you're going to be left behind. Nobody is immune to this changing expectation, and banks and traditional lenders are no exception.
If you're reading this, you're no doubt aware of the Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) craze that's sweeping the nation. Businesses have tapped into a rapidly growing segment of consumers who want to access fast, easy-to-use payment solutions that let them to pay in installments, in lieu of credit cards and other forms of traditional lending. Unfortunately, though, this new type of lending isn't saving people from the downward spiral of debt they'd hoped to avoid.
With technology developing in leaps and bounds, providing unprecedented data and more sophisticated insights, credit needs to undergo a radical transformation: from one-size-fits-all risk-averse lending you'd get from a bank, to personalised, risk-aware, predictive payments at the point of sale.
So what does credit of the future look like?
Credit of the future is contextual, intelligent and empathetic. It trusts the customer, and understands that not everyone has a 9-5 job, steady income, 2.3 kids and a dog. It empowers and supports an intimate relationship between brand and customer. It lets people make mistakes and helps them rectify and learn from them. It's not exploitative, predatory or vengeful. It adapts to customers' circumstances, allows for second chances and offers people credit on their terms, not someone else's.
The future of credit rewards good behaviour and supports better financial decisions. It assumes you can manage what you borrow, rather than dig for all the reasons you won't.
Credit reports and applications as we know them will be a thing of the past. Credit offers will be contextual and proactive, in real time, and based on a wider, more inclusive range of factors, like age, location, life stage, shopping behaviour and amount. It will be aware of your outstanding expenditures to ensure you don't spread yourself too thin. It will better predict and identify when a customer is at risk and help them get back on track before it's too late. And it will learn, adapt and improve as customers build relationships with merchants and brands.
Customers deserve complete control over repayments with the ability to design their own repayment plans – upfront, deferred, instalments or whatever's next – with repayment terms that work for them and their circumstances. And they deserve the ability to change those plans at any time, and to be rewarded for early repayment.
Merchants and credit providers need to move away from risk-aversion and instead become risk-aware. This means accepting that their customers will make bad financial decisions, or have changing circumstances, and work to educate, support and guide them through when times are tough. Using sophisticated insights and predictive analysis, credit providers can intervene when they see a customer at risk of default and give them opportunities and support to turn it around.
Soon we'll see more open dialogue about how to use credit responsibly, and credit will become less about rigid criteria and more focused on honest conversations, proactive interventions and non-judgemental resolution to help the customer get back on track.
The credit of the future is less about risk and more about flexibility. It aligns with people's budgets, while delivering seamless in-store and online payment experiences. It shares strong insights into customer preferences and behaviour to merchants, enabling to better identify opportunities for marketing, growth and business development. And really, isn't that what we all want from business?

Management of posterior segment ocular trauma is a challenge. A proper knowledge of the imaging in this condition is greatly helpful in charting out a strategy in planning the treatment. Ultrasound B scan is very useful in the event of obscured posterior segment. Optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence are helpful in macular problems after trauma. Computed tomography and Magnetic resonance imaging are useful to detect problems in the retroocular space and in orbit. These will help in proper documentation of the posterior segment and has a medicolegal value. This review article will deal with the different practical uses of imaging technique in posterior segment ocular trauma.

Jamaat-ul-Ahrar ("Assembly of the Free," abbreviated as JuA[2]) is a terrorist organization that split away from Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan in August 2014.[3] The group came to prominence after it claimed responsibility for the 2014 Wagah border suicide attack. In October 2017, there were unconfirmed reports that Omar Khalid, the leader of the JuA, had died from injuries sustained in a US drone strike in Paktia Province, Afghanistan.
Roots and development[edit]
In September 2014, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan chief Fazlullah ousted Mohmand Agency chief Omar Khalid Khorasani (former leader of Ahrar-ul-Hind). Omar Khalid Khorasani and his associates in Mohmand Agency had accused the TTP leadership of deviating from the TTP ideology, leading to the formation of splinter group TTP Jamaat-ul-Ahrar.
The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan was effectively divided into two factions. The original TTP is headed by Fazlullah, who was elected in November 2013 following the killing of ex-chief Hakimullah Mehsud in a U.S. drone strike. In February 2014, Ahrar-ul-Hind, headed by Umar Qasmi (former leader in the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi) was formed after TTP opened peace talks with the Pakistani government. It later merged into Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a second splinter group that broke away from Tehreek-i-Taliban in Pakistan on 4 September 2014, and named Omar Khalid Khorasani as its commander.[4]
Relations with TTP[edit]
The group had announced they would no longer recognize or obey Mullah Fazlullah as their Emir.[5] In March 2015, the group's spokesman announced that it swore loyalty to main TTP leadership again.
Designation as Terrorist organization by United Nations[edit]
On 6 July 2017, the Security Council's 1267 Sanctions Committee approved the addition of Jamaat-ul-Ahrar in the list of entities and individuals subject to the assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo. Pakistan had proposed this listing.
Organizational structure[edit]
- Omar Khalid Khorasani (aka Abdul Wali)- previously led a faction called Ahrar-ul-Hind. He is also one of the founding members of the TTP and is a former journalist from Mohmand agency.[5] It was reported that a JuA spokesman Asad Mansoor had told AFP news agency that Khorasani on 18 October 2017 had succumbed to his injuries received in a United States drone strike in Paktia Province of Afghanistan.[6] Pajhwok Afghan News however stated that a source close to the group had denied his death.[7] Long War Journal reported that a statement on Telegram issued under Khorasani's name denied his death, while confirming the death of Khalifa Umar Mansour. The outlet noted that the spokesman operating the group's Telegram account did not announce his death.[8] His death also was not confirmed by United States.[7][8] Reports of Khorasani's death were proven false when the United States added Khorasani to the U.S State Department's Rewards for Justice wanted list on March 7, 2018.[9]
- Asad Mansoor
- Ehsanullah Ehsan, he surrendered himself to Pakistan's Security Forces in April 2017 [10] and escaped from his detention in February 2020.[11]
Operation Khyber-1[edit]
On 9 November, at least 13 militants were killed in security forces' offensive in Akakhel which included among the dead two suicide bombers and a key commander. Ehsan confirmed that their key commander Abu Jandal was killed during the 9 November bombing in Khyber Agency's Tirah Valley.[12]
Claimed and alleged attacks[edit]
- 2 November 2014, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan claimed responsibility for the Wagah border attack in a telephone call to Dawn from Afghanistan. "Some other groups have claimed responsibility of this attack, but these claims are baseless. We will soon release the video of this attack," he said. "This attack is revenge for the killing of innocent people in North Waziristan."[13]
- 7 November 2014, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar claimed responsibility for twin bombings that killed at least six people in Mohmand Agency. The bombs targeted peace committee volunteers in Chinari village of Safi Tehsil. Ehsanullah Ehsan claimed responsibility and vowed to continue attacking tribal peace committees.[14]
- 21 November 2014, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar claimed responsibility for a grenade attack on the membership camp of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in Orangi Town area of Karachi. Three members of the Sindh Assembly and 50 workers were injured.[15][16]
- 15 March 2015, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar claimed responsibility for twin bombings at a Roman Catholic church and Christ Church during Sunday service at Youhanabad town of Lahore. At least 15 people were killed and seventy were wounded in the attacks.[17]
- 7 March 2016, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing that left 11 dead and 15 wounded after a man blew himself up outside a district court in the town of Shabqadar in the Charsadda District.[18]
- 27 March 2016, a spokesman for Taliban splinter group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan Jamaatul Ahrar says: 'We proudly take responsibility for the suicide attack in a park in Lahore. Members of the Christian community who were celebrating Easter today were our prime target' but that 'we didn't want to kill women and children. Our target were male members of the Christian community'.[19] The nail-filled device near a children's playground[20] killed over 70 people, reportedly mostly Muslim.[21] It was described as an attempt by the group "to establish itself as the most aggressive and violent" Islamist group in Pakistan.[20]
- On 16 September 2016, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar claimed the responsibility of suicide attack in a local mosque of Tehsil Amabar in Mohmand Agency, the attack killed at least 28 people and left 31 injured. In an emailed statement, TTP Jamaat-ul-Ahrar spokesperson, Ehsanullah Ehsan, said a suicide bomber targeted the peace committee.[22]
- On 13 February 2017, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar claimed their involvement in a suicide attack targeting senior police officials at a protest on Lahore's Mall Road. The attack left 13 people dead and injured 31 others. The dead include 6 police officials, including DIG City Traffic Police Lahore Ahmad Mobin Zaidi and Acting DIG (Operations) Zahid Gondal. The terrorist outfit sent a text message to claim their responsibility and later released a video message to warn off future attacks.[23][24][25]
- On 31 March 2017, Jamaat-ul-Ahraar claimed responsibility of an attack in Parachinar that killed 24 and injured 68 people.[26]
JuA was split into two groups, with a video statement on 12 November 2017 announcing that the Hizbul Ahrar group, formed in Nangarhar province of Afghanistan on 11 November, will be headed by militant commander Mukarram Khan. Khan had previously served as an important commander and spokesman of JuA. The statement said that Khan left JuA because of differences with its chief over "attacks against minority Christians, killing civilians, extortion, kidnapping for ransom and other acts he deemed un-Islamic".[27] Since then, Hizbul Ahrar has claimed numerous attacks against police officers and army men, the modus operandi of the group is mainly targeted assassinations and IED blasts.[28]
