New cases of depression abound in Nigeria every day.
Soon after the publication of this publication of this column last Thursday, another strange case hit the headlines … a 20-year-old youth beheaded his father, aged 65. Many radio stations would appear to have recognized that depression and mental illness cases deserve more attention than they had previously received.
Presenters now suggest at whoever finds his or her neighbour behaving subnormally try to straighten him or her up with pep talk, or call the social services for help. Last week, in the introduction of this series which is concluded today, this column said:…..
Early this months, an 18- year –old Nigerian killed his mother in their home, had canal knowledge of her corpse, ripped her body open in several places with a knife and then removed some vital organs which he sold to ritualists. In police detention, he broke down, saying he did not know how it all happened. A few days later, the news emerged of yet another successful suicide on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos. Lately, the bridge had become a place from which suicide –prone people, one of them a medical doctor, plunge into the Lagos Lagoon below. The police had been keeping 24 – hour watch over this bridge for some time. But in this last suicide, a Radio Nigeria employee beat the system and jumped to his death in the Lagoon below. We have been shocked as well by the story of a teenage girl who lived in a multi-tenancy apartment. She concealed her pregnancy for nine months from her co-tenants. When the baby came, they were startled by the cries of a new born baby. By the time they arrived in her room, she had broken the baby's neck and swirled the face backwards. They called the police immediately.
These are just a few of the new faces of depression which have popped up in Nigeria, since this column last visited this subject. Only last week 100 containers of Tramadol and Codeine illegally imported into the country were seized by the customs service at the Lagos ports.
Tramadol and Codeine are leading causes of depression and mental health questions in Nigeria. So are diabetes and many other factors which have not been contained.
As factors which cause depression multiply in Nigeria, growing even in magnitude, and more people go down, this column tries from time to time to remind its readers that there is yet no serious handle on it in this country, and that every-one should be doubly watchful not to inwardly cave in to predisposing factors and to eat and adopt healthy lifestyles which support mental health.
The last such column was read on-line by one of the editors of JEN REVIEWS, Jen Miller, who was researching DEPRESSION. Jenne informed me of a newer study on this subject and such findings as were thought helpful to help a depression patient bounce back to life.
A report on that study was presented from last Thursday in a two-part series which is concluded today. It was originally published on-line under the title A BLUE PRINT WHEN FELLING BLUE and the Subtite HOW A MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS CAN BE EMPOWERING.
I believe it will be helpful for people with mental health challenges and the doctors, neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and nurses who look after them. So should it for the parents of depressed people, their other family members (husbands, wives and children, siblings and friends).
Thanks, Jenne Miller…. The article which follows below can be found in https://www.jenreviews.com/mental-health-diagnosis.
I have noticed that people have different reactions to mental health diagnoses than they do to medical ones. For example, when I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder it felt different from when I was diagnosed with Allergic Rhinitis. It was difficult for me not to view my diagnosis of Panic Disorder as some kind of moral shortcoming. Throughout the years, I have learned that viewing my diagnosis as a personality flaw would make it harder for me to come to peace with it and have the willingness to explore treatment options.
Creepy blurred photo of a person's face and a furry hood. Panic attacks tend to escalate very quickly and sometimes the experience can feel very "blurry" as interpreted in this photo.
It is not useful, and not at all accurate, to attach guilt and to such conditions. I did not engage in any actions that resulted in me developing Panic Disorder. A combination of genetic predispositions in my DNA and social experiences I had early in life have influenced my brain to develop in such a way that I sometimes respond to situations with a disproportionate amount of fear and terror – often over a very short period of time. This is not a moral shortcoming, it is a combination science and learned behavior. I can learn to manage it though and work with therapists or peer groups to take steps to "unlearn" the behavior.
Now, let's go back to that doctor's visit we discussed earlier. Imagine how we might feel at the end of each of these visits. I can attest that after I receive a medical diagnosis, I am often relieved. Most of the time, I am informed of what the problem is, what medication to take, and what lifestyle choices I can make to relieve the symptoms of the condition. Even though the steps to treat it might be a nuisance, at least I leave knowing what to do and feeling a bit more empowered.
When treating mental illness, it is often difficult to make a diagnosis after one visit. Providers have to identify a diagnosis for insurance billing purposes, but after just one visit with a client that diagnosis is preliminary. It is inaccurate to stay that you will leave your first appointment with an explanation of how to vastly improve our symptoms, but the point that I am trying to make is that once an explanation is provided it can arm you with additional knowledge about how to manage your situation and put you in a position where you can make a choice.
Any time I needed to seek help for my mental health symptoms, I tried to view it as a learning opportunity. I would ask about the known causes, any research that has been done on it and what has been successful for others who have been living with it. I would also reflect on how the information that I obtained applied to my own situation and determined (sometimes with a provider and sometimes on my own) what the best next steps would be in my action plan.
For me, it was empowering and validating to be reminded that I was not alone. Like I said earlier, 40 million adults in the United States have a mental health condition. And there are forums on the internet, and sometimes in-person support groups, for many different mental health conditions where you can connect with other who are finding solutions. The more you know about the root of your distress, the more power you will have to manage the symptoms and make your own choice about the best next step. Mental health professionals can help with the evidence based guidance – but we are not experts on you – you are!
Challenges with This Process: And How to Stay Empowered Through Them
Mental health treatment isn't always linear. If you need a medication to improve your mental health, you may need to try a few different drugs or different dosages before you find the right prescription that works for you. If you need to seek a therapist or support group, you may need to try different groups or providers before you find the right match. And you may go through mental health treatment, get better, and find that a month or a year or five years down the line, you need treatment again. There may not be a quick fix.
Sometimes treatment can feel like a bit of a puzzle. It can take several tries of piecing different approaches together before you feel whole again.
It is true that sometimes the dynamic between a therapist or psychiatrist and a help seeker can feel disempowering to the client. When working with clients, I have always tried the best I can to use the strengths perspective which focuses on a person's assets and resilience, rather than their pathologies. It is important for practitioners to know that our communication style and view of the client as a non-expert of their own life can contribute to their feelings of disempowerment. Speaking from the experience of being on the consumer end of mental health treatment, I have always felt much more empowered when I saw providers who used the strengths perspective.
Whenever I have felt disempowered, it has helped me to focus on what was immediately in front of me. When I have gone through episodes of worry and doomsday forecasts in my mind about things "never getting better," I was able to get through it by putting thoughts of the future aside and engaging in a useful task that would give me an immediate sense of gratification. Enter….cleaning! It sounds a little silly, doesn't it? Never in a million years did my feminist inspired brain think that domestic tasks would help me feel empowered. But in certain moments, they really did. I even tried some DIY cleaning ingredients which made it fun for me. It was kind of like a creative project. I would make something, use it to change the environment and feel a sense of accomplishment afterwards. Of course, recovery and wellness as a whole are not that simplistic. But there have been several times where a night of giving some TLC to my apartment helped ground me and remind me that my mind did not always have to be in the future and that I could enjoy simple tasks in front of me in the meantime.
Let's Talk More About Empowerment
OK, so you were informed of your different treatment options and have made a decision about what you would like to do. How can the sense of empowerment you felt when you made that choice stick with you as you go through the process of recovery?
A Canadian study that was facilitated in 2001 explored factors in the lives of adults with a mental illness that influenced the degree of empowerment felt in their lives. Every participant was in some kind of mental health treatment (either therapy, medication management, a peer support group, or a combination of more than one treatment method). The study revealed that the two factors below had a significant influence on empowerment:
1.) Personal motivation: When consumers of mental health services were able to take more initiative in making choices, it resulted in improved confidence, skill development, and greater sense of control over their lives.
2.) Supportive Relationships: Consumers of mental health services reported feeling more empowered when their personal and professional relationships were supportive and fair. This resulted in increased participation and involvement in the community, particularly if they were able to connect with a community of peers who they saw on a regular basis.
I have actually witnessed the peer support models become increasingly common in the past decade and know of individuals who have discovered a sense of purpose once they become involved in peer support. These kinds of groups and relationships have the potential to offer mental health consumers a sense of connection that may be difficult to find elsewhere.
Giving and receiving mutual support to other with a mental illness can provide empowerment and a sense of purpose.
Another way that having a mental health diagnosis can result in empowerment is through resilience. Those of us who have lived with a mental illness have often been placed in positions where we have had to struggle to find new or different ways to cope with life's stressors. It has been my experience that surviving through the moments where the mental illness is at its worst forces us to learn skills to help us persevere. Even though I felt hopeless and vulnerable in the midst of my worst mental health crises, I always came out of each of them feeling a little stronger and a bit more confident in my capacity to grow through adversity. And some coping skills I have learned as a result of struggling with anxiety have resulted in positive changes in my life that I otherwise may never have experienced.
For example, I had no interest whatsoever in meditation before my anxiety hit its peak in my early twenties. I tried meditation, with some skepticism, after some peers and providers had recommended it to me. Meditation ended up benefiting me so much that I continued to practice for long after my symptoms improved. As a result of practicing meditation, I have become more patient, more present, and more appreciative. Had struggling with mental illness not given me the motivation to try new coping skills, I may have never discovered this practice that has enriched my life.
I have heard others share similar feedback about exercise. Several of my peers specifically mentioned running as an activity that helped them with things such as "clearing their head" or "setting their perspective for the day". One challenge with exercise though, is that it can be hard to start particularly when you are having symptoms of depression. These symptoms can suck away your energy level and motivation.
When discussing the benefits of early morning exercise, Jen mentions a visualization activity that can help counteract some of the self-deprecating thoughts and beliefs that come with depression. Our thoughts can sometimes trap us into believing that certain things are not options. I have certainly gone through this before. It sounded a little bit like this "There is no way I can get up at 6 to hit the treadmill tomorrow. I'm not going to have the energy." And then I literally pictured myself hitting the snooze button until 7:15.
Changing our narrative, and the way we visually see the narrative playing out, can be useful. Psychologists have found that the self-fulfilling prophecies that occur during depression can create a cycle that is difficult to get out of. Visualizing yourself overcoming challenges has the potential to break this cycle.
Meditation reduces stress, improves concentration and increases self-awareness, something that is particularly useful when managing a mental illness.
The Takeaway
We are all familiar with the stereotypes of mental illness. Advocates, consumers, and providers across North America have been fighting to challenge these stereotypes and provide correct information about mental health. Stigma against mental illness can often deter people from seeking treatment and may cause them to view mental illness as a personal weakness rather than a treatable condition. This perspective can be reframed by viewing a mental health diagnosis as a framework for establishing a treatment plan. Some mental health consumers may be able to shift this perspective on their own, but providers and the public need to also take accountability. Stigma is created by public opinion. If the public could have more empowering and empathetic views toward people who have a mental illness, it could lead to a paradigm shift that could help more people see diagnosis as a blueprint rather than a bombshell.

By: Barry Barnes, Founder
Troy Vincent has experienced greatness in one year as the vice president of football operations – through turmoil.
Vincent consciously understood that sitting at the right hand of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell would bring scrutiny and criticism from many members of society. Quickly, issues spanning from Minnesota Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson's child abuse allegation to free agent running back Ray Rice's domestic abuse challenges, to New England Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension due to his alleged deflated scandal has proven so.
Yet, the former three-time All-Pro cornerback views the hot seat as a small price to pay for change.
Vincent and the Shield's response towards those challenges are duly noted. What's not acclaimed is the purpose of this "football lifer."
Until now.
Vincent's prime ambition is to make the "game" better. The Trenton, New Jersey native believes with his experience as a player and, now, an executive, he likens himself as a "gatekeeper."
"I'm at a place where I have the opportunity to be a gatekeeper…A contributor to the game," said Vincent, courteously. "I was once an active participant. Today, I'm an active contributor."
After a little over a year in his high-profile position, Vincent gladly shared his passion and how the NFL is refining its front office and league staff to improve the game through leadership and character development, increasing the long-term talent pool, the use of technology, rule simplification and improvement, and protecting players from unnecessary risk.
Long before the controversies of NFL that rocked the nation last year, plans were implemented to propel the league to the next level. Vincent details the progress of how "football is strong because of its people" and that football is "safer, not softer."

Solved Open access dashboards restrict access on IP-number
We have open access dashboards both for internal use(operations), company users and external use. We would like to restrict so that the dashboards only can be accessed from certain subnets or IP-numbers.
Since there is information on the internal that we don't want the company users and external users to see.
I now that they probably wont be able to find the URL the page but if they somehow do.
Cant see any easy way to do this. IP restriction in IIS wont do in this case as there is not a file that is going to be accessed.
I saw in another thread a tip of a web application proxy. That will be plan B.
I have dropped Squaredup a line for a feature request but maybe someone has a smart solution for this?
Best answer
I'm pretty sure you should be able to use the IP Restrictions here – it might be a case of right clicking the Website or folder to get to the right place though.
If that doesn't work then you can almost certainly use the URL Rewrite Module. Something like this (not tested):
<rewrite> <rules> <rule name="Block OA" stopprocessing="true"> <match url="(^openaccess)" ignorecase="true" /> <conditions> <add negate="true" pattern="10\.10\.10\.10" input="{REMOTE_ADDR}" /> </conditions> <action type="AbortRequest" /> </rule> </rules> <rewrite>

Hey Everyone!
This past week I have bought more tea. Last week one of my friends and I went to the Stash Tea store and today I picked up more at Fred Meyer and a box of Scottish Breakfast Tea at the Scottish Shop for myself. I have never seen Scottish Breakfast Tea in a normal grocery store here in the states only English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast teas. I knew Scottish Breakfast Tea existed, just had to track it down. I figured the Scottish Shop would be the best place to go to look for it. I definitely found it there.
Today I also picked up a teabag holder. It says it is technically a spoon rest it looks like all the teabag holders I have ever seen, so I now have a teabag holder. I also love the fact that it was made in Scotland and has the Scottish Thistle on it.
So now I am really just waiting on when I can have my own place and be able to have tea parties, and so much more.

Project Euler
Self powers
Problem 48
The series, 11 + 22 + 33 + … + 1010 = 10405071317.
Find the last ten digits of the series, 11 + 22 + 33 + … + 10001000.
This problem is working with large number and using Haskell or Python is extremely easy to solve by looping through 1000 number and add up all the powers and find the last ten digits.
However, we can make some improvement of the brute force approach. The first improvement is to use modular arithmetic to ignore any digit beyond the last ten whenever we need to remember a result.
Another improvement is to implement your own integer power function that incorporate the modular arithmetic with basic property of exponent.
Therefore, let a be the base and p be the exponent,
If p is odd, then If p is even, then let and find result*result as the answer.
Let n = 10000000000 and do a modular arithmetic every chance you get to keep the number from overflowing. Unfortunately, even with unsigned long long, the divide and conquer algorithm to calculate exponent still overflow. I used an iterative approach with the modular arithmetic and able to calculate the answer quite quickly.

The new network will initially deliver services to select areas in Amman, Irbid and Zarqa and will gradually expand over the next six months to reach most populated areas in the Kingdom to give it 70% population coverage by the end of the summer. The company's CEO Nayla Khawam said that the services delivered by Orange's 3G+ network would greatly bolster internet penetration in the Kingdom, which conforms to the national strategy that aims at increasing internet penetration by 50% by 2011.

text: The first weekend of the two-week festival also spotlights traditional Hawaiian hula dances from the 30-member Na Lei Hulu troupe and Danny Nguyen's Endless Passage, an autobiographical work based on his family's escape from the North Vietnamese invasion. Despite a distinctly Asian/Pacific Islander thematic thread, however, the festival's cultural influences extend as far as Scotland, where Nancy Ng's travels among ancient burial chambers and ice-age rock formations inspired Standing Stone. And, too, there are universal themes: Kimiko Guthrie-Kupers' Landscape unfolds on familiar terrain, as friends who become something more ride out the shifts in their relationship. Hula returns for the second weekend, along with Filipino troupe the Barangay Dance Company in Muslim Suite and work by Dance Brigade alum Sue Li-Jue. All performances begin at 8 p.m. at Somar Cultural Center, 934 Brannan (at Ninth Street), S.F. Admission is $12; call 441-8831. (

Malloy marks five-year anniversary of gay marriage in CT
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy noted the recent five-year anniversary of marriage equality in Connecticut with a statement calling Connecticut's gay marriage law "a model" for the nation.
"[The] five-year anniversary of marriage equality is a reminder that when equality triumphs for one, it triumphs for all," Malloy said.
"Throughout history, Connecticut has had a revolutionary spirit, particularly when it comes to the understanding that all people are created equal and have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," he said.
Connecticut's marriage equality law took effect on Nov. 12, 2008, legalizing marriage between people of the same sex.
"Five years later," Malloy said, "it is encouraging to see other states around our nation looking to our own laws as a model as they pursue marriage equality in their states.
"There's still a long way to go across our country, but I am confident that as time goes on and the momentum continues, people will look towards states such as our own as an example of a leader of equal rights," he said.

I, Tonya Movie Review
January 31, 2018
I had not been born yet when the legendary American figure skater, Tonya Harding, was making headlines across American television sets in the 1990s for her involvement in a wider scheme to injure her skating rival, Nancy Kerrigan. After certain facts came to light about Harding's actions in the plot against Kerrigan, and the actions of her ex-husband, Harding was left to deal with the devastating aftermath of the widely publicized incident. The dramatic portrayal of the story which unfolded in front of me in the late 2017 film, I, Tonya, was thus as gripping as the film's exquisite, dynamic cinematography.
In the film, Tonya Harding's extraordinary journey from an impoverished and maltreated child to an Olympic figure skater was spotted with a series of mock-interviews largely with Tonya, played by Margot Robbie, Tonya's ex-husband, played by Sebastian Stan, and her mother, played by Allison Janney. The interviews, marked by an ironic disclaimer which claimed them to be "totally true," establish a theme throughout the movie of distrust between characters and a distorted truth, as is propagated by the contrasting narratives of Harding's life and the scheme against Kerrigan.
On a positive note, the film is graced with a diverse musical score, which accentuates both the mood of certain moments in the film and includes certain songs for which Harding was famous for skating to. The actors and actresses beautifully assumed their roles, providing convincing deliverances of the plot already known by many viewers. One of the true triumphs of the film, however, was in the wardrobe of the characters. Harding's homemade skating costumes were a testament to the success of an impoverished figure-skater in an icy athletic world dominated by wealth. Harding's mother — who was rarely seen without her signature brown cigarettes — sported a short, bowl-like hairdo which sharply contrasted with the largely "traditional" hair styles of other women in the film, highlighting her differences.
The film vacillates between moments of sharp, hair-raising tension and witty humor, as presented by the comical manner in which the mock interviewees often present their versions of the past and make direct asides to the viewer. At times, the humor seems to sugarcoat what would have likely been deeply traumatizing experiences for Harding, including a moment at gunpoint and several scenes of domestic violence.
The message of humor and positivity amongst a darker backdrop mirror Harding's life, however, and may be fitting. Her skating stardom — glossy and sequin-covered on the outside — was marked by undercurrents of spousal and familial violence, broken relationships, and poverty. Harding's repetitive return to her husband, despite the violent abuse she faced, illuminates the difficulty of spousal relationships, and perhaps Harding's deeper need for love. Harding's rollercoaster of a life thus makes for a rollercoaster of a film, a cinematographic emotional seesaw which is worthy of watching.

I, Dory, have already told you a story and Mommy says it's time Bilbo told his. Bilbo lives by his own rules, and he is going to tell you his story and let everyone who hasn't received this award take it and tell their story!
I wasn't always the stately looking, snappy dressing man in charge I am now. I was once just a small little tike. Although I did never develop a taste of the finer puppy foodables (you know like Scout...he enjoys litter box treats!) , I did, being the refined pup that I was, develop a certain love of leather....Mmmmmmmm, the memories.
You may not know this, but my Daddy has foot "issues", and can't wear shoes that are not "quality" made ( EXPENSIVE). Since I was the FIRST puppy that my Daddy and Mommy had in the house for a LONG time, they didn't know that, along with my bones, I may want to chew on other things (silly humans). They really did not pay attention to me one evening while they were probabaly watching some silly vampire or sci fi show on the talky box. I was very quiet about it, but I chewed a smiley in the back of Daddy's everday "quality" shoes. OH, and then, there was the time Mommy left her leather wallet on TOP of her purse, and I nibbled off a corner of it. They tried to get mad at me, but sheesh...How could you get mad at this face???
I had them trained at a very early age....
Now...back to Dory....
My very cool friends Fiona and Jazzi have given me this wonderful award,
This award originated on Daisy's blog and was made by the Purple Hatter. For those of you who haven't visited Mr. Hatter...he is a pawesome award and graphic designer dude.
The only rule I saw for this one was to pass it on to 5 friends that blog at least once a week.
Since I can't, of course, just pick five of you. Please feel free to take this award if you blog at least once a week. Because all my friends are PAWESOME
(and blog much more than once a week...;-))!!
Happy Furiday!
Dory - 1 year

Citrine and bronze set - Necklace bracelet and earrings
Citrine and bronze set - Necklace bracelet and earrings-Love&Life
Because of its yellow color, citrine is considered a sunny stone. In fatigue and depression, quinine is able to return the energy to its owner, giving it solar energy.
In some countries, citrine is revered as a stone of money and luck, bringing luck and attracting financial success. It is recommended that a citrine piece stays between the banknotes in your wallet.
Citrine brings warmth to relationships, gives confidence, helps for creative success.
Nevertheless, in some countries citrine is considered a stone of thieves and wicked men. Citrine adornments were often carried by pickpockets and scammers.
Contemporary Magi accept the citrine stone as a double-sided gem, which serves equally well both for the wicked and for the decent people.
More ancient Romans have taken advantage of the magical properties of the citrine to enhance eloquence and capture the audience's attention. That is why citrine is a stone that can boldly be worn by all who have public appearances.
Citrine gives confidence, grace. It is therefore recommended wearing citrine by jewelers, sculptors, surgeons, engravers, artists.
Citrine removes headaches, repels depression, speeds up the treatment of speech defects, especially in children.

Achieving success is involving gaining all that you planned to have. It's discovering that you have accomplished your goals or accomplished your goals and it's rousing up in the morning feeling the winner rather than feeling defeated.The emotions success brings will make you wander with pride in the roadways with your head up high while being pleased and fulfilled. Contrary to prevalent beliefs, there are no successful or unsuccessful people but alternatively there are many people who have the possibilities to be successful and who do activities that helps them fully grasp this potential and there are individuals with the same capabilities who do not do those things.The only thing you need to do to be a success is to do completely what highly effective people did. When you go through all of the insight you will get the mentality of a prosperous man or woman and this will help you get to financial success. If you seriously want to be highly effective then you should certainly have a substantial understanding of certain principles that can reduce your future and that can make you not successful. If you dont have objectives or campaigns then you are going to be a portion of other some people's campaigns. If you will not prepare to be the boss at your work then somebody else in your staff will do so and if you do not schedule to get that high paying occupation then somebody else who anticipated and worked for it will take it from you. If you don't organize you will get swept away by the people who do. The earliest matter that comes to the mind of most people with worries is that they will begin to think of their trouble as limits to their positive results. The moment you decide to see your dilemmas as stumbling blocks, you start to have added predicaments because tension begins, tension begins, and these are other sorts of substantial problems on their own. The honest truth is, the way you see your problems can help determine the ways they will impact you.

A Work of Art
For many years my late husband, Gardner Botsford, kept a small black-and-white snapshot on his desk of a man and woman wearing shorts, walking one behind the other on a tennis court. I didn't know who the couple were but assumed they were friends from Gardner's life before our marriage, people he had been close to and fond of. One day I asked him who they were and he laughed and said he had no idea. He had plucked the picture from a pile of rejects on their way to the wastebasket. It had leaped out at him as an example of an outstandingly terrible snapshot, one that had everything the matter with it. The couple had their backs to the camera; the tennis court showed a few white lines; there were undifferentiated shrubs and trees edging one side of the asphalt. That was all. I saw what my husband saw and laughed with him. There was no reason for the existence of this picture. Keeping it was a wonderful exercise in absurdism.
A few years later, in 1980, I had occasion to think of this picture in a new way. I was selecting illustrations for the title essay of Diana and Nikon, a collection of my pieces on photography, which had run unillustrated in The New Yorker. One of the key moments in the essay was a discussion of a new kind of avant-garde photography that took its inspiration—and to all intents and purposes was indistinguishable—from the home snapshot. Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, Emmet Gowin, Lee Friedlander, Joel Meyerowitz, and Nancy Rexroth were among the practitioners of this school of deliberately artless photography that had recently been celebrated in a book called The Snapshot published by Aperture. In his introduction, the editor, Jonathan Green, felt impelled to inform the reader that the photographers represented in the book were "not snapshooters but sophisticated photographers." The most sophisticated among them, perhaps, was Rexroth, who used a $1.50 toy camera called the Diana (thus my title) that also came in a model that squirted water when you pressed the shutter.
In Diana and Nikon I reproduced four pictures from The Snapshot to illustrate the new aesthetic. Except that one of the pictures was not actually from the book, but from Gardner's desk: the snapshot of the couple on the tennis court. The temptation was too great. The gates stood too wide open. When the book appeared, there on pages 70–71, illustrating the work of The Snapshot's "sophisticated photographers," was a spread of four pictures with the captions under them of Joel Meyerowitz, Untitled; Robert Frank, Untitled; Nancy Rexroth, Streaming Window, Washington D.C., 1972; and G. Botsford, Untitled, 1971.
The reader may be wondering how this act of mischief could have gone undetected. Didn't anyone at David Godine, the book's publisher, notice? Or was the estimable…

Hanson On War: 'The Father Of Us All"
NEAL CONAN, host:
The current HBO series "The Pacific" is based in part on E.B. Sledge's memoir of two almost forgotten battles fought by the U.S. Marines during the Second World War. Anyone who's read "With the Old Breed" or seen the TV show emerges with a fresh appreciation for the brutality and waste of war. But there are other lessons from Peleliu and Okinawa about loyalty and love, about suicide attacks and fanatic enemies, and about human nature.
Military historian, classicist and syndicated columnist Victor David Hanson wrote an introduction to Sledge's book and then adapted that as part of one chapter in the new book of essays on war and history, ancient and modern, called "Father of Us All: War and History, Ancient and Modern." And the author joins us now from a studio at Stanford University, where he's a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. Victor, nice to have you back on TALK OF THE NATION.
Mr. VICTOR DAVIS HANSON (Author) Thank you for having me again, Neal.
CONAN: And I wonder if you've been watching the miniseries.
Mr. HANSON: I have. I just watched the ninth episode last night.
CONAN: And do you think they're getting it right?
Mr. HANSON: I think they are. I think "The Pacific" was a lot more difficult to comprehend and a lot more - it was a lot more brutal and it was a lot harder on the American soldier than even Europe was. It was not as well understood. And remember, when Okinawa was going on, which was last night's episode...
CONAN: Mm-hmm.
Mr. HANSON: ...the country was occupied with the death of Franklin Roosevelt, the upcoming defeat of Germany, and people had no idea that we were going to lose 50,000 casualties in an amphibious operation after we had just supposedly learned from Iwo Jima and Tarawa and Peleliu. And yet, Okinawa turned out to be the most horrific American experience, in some ways, in the entire war.
CONAN: And the - what do you take as - you had a relative who was lost in that conflict.
Mr. HANSON: Yes. My namesake, Victor Hanson, was killed May 19th on Sugar Loaf Hill. And he was...
CONAN: Just a few hours before the end.
Mr. HANSON: Yeah, just a few hours before. And it really affected - I wrote a book once called "Ripples of Battle." It rippled out for that family forever. And much of the letters that he wrote are analogous to what Eugene Sledge wrote and I think most people wrote. And that is that when you go to war, you're in a - you have no good choices. They're bad and worse. And so, as a military historian, I see military history as didactic, that you want to get to a situation where you can avoid that type of war in Okinawa.
The moment they landed on the beach, there were no good choices. And those decisions that led to that no-good choices were taken probably in the late 1930s or, at best, in 1940-41. In other words, you want to be military prepared. You want to deter potential aggressors. But once a war starts, you want it to get over quickly and as - with overwhelming force. But unfortunately, the United States was not in a position by 1941. It took us until 1945. The worst months of the war, actually, were the ones right before the end.
And that happens so often in war, where the most costly months and -even weeks of the war are right before the final defeat or victory of one side or the other.
CONAN: In the European theater, true as well there, as it was with in the Pacific.
Mr. HANSON: Absolutely.
CONAN: And yet, you also go on to draw much broader lessons about human nature and about the nature of, well, our fate upon this earth. You take the, what you call, the tragic field.
Mr. HANSON: Yeah. The book is titled after a phrase from the pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclides, who said: War is the father of us all. And what he meant by that was not to glorify war, but to realize that it's in - within our human psyches, our makeup. And if we were to read history and to try to learn from it, then we would learn that people are aggressive, just as you individuals are in their own daily lives.
I pick up the paper every day and I read incredible stories about suburbanites who fight over things like leaves falling on one side of a fence. Often, it leads to violence. And yet, how do you deter those or how do you prevent those disputes? And history suggests to us that, unfortunately, given our Neanderthal, limbic brains, that we don't really do it in an enlightened way all the time. Sometimes, diplomacy is a great tool, and we're all reasonable people that sit around a table.
But other times, there are bad actors who only make one calculation. That is: Is it in my interest, or am I not - is it not in my interest to try something aggressive or stupid? Then they have to be told in advance, do not do that. Otherwise, I think something like Okinawa follows.
CONAN: And you return again and again in this book to Thucydides, of course, wrote the great history of the Peloponnesian War. And his conclusion that people go to war for reasons of quote, "honor, fear and self-interest, period."
Mr. HANSON: And that's sad, yeah. It was what Borges said about the Falklands, two bald-headed men fighting over a comb.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. HANSON: There was nothing there of strategic interest at that time and there's really plenty of land in the Middle East. There's - Germany, today, has only, I think, three million more people but almost 20 percent less territory and nobody in Germany is talking about Lebensraum. So, people are motivated by fear and honor and perceived self-interest. And when you have somebody like the - a Hitler or the Argentine dictatorship, the only thing that can prevent them from doing something like invading Poland or invading the Falklands is to tell them in advance, dont do it. But by 1939, Hitler was convinced that he should do it, and I think that things the British government did as well, sent the message that they could go into the Falklands with little consequences.
CONAN: Indeed, similar kinds of messages sent before the outbreak of the Korean War and, indeed, before the outbreak of the first Gulf War.
Mr. HANSON: I think so, too. I think that if Dean Acheson hadn't have said that or implied that Korea was outside our sphere of influence, the North Koreans might not have invaded across the 38th. Same thing on the Gulf War. I think that an American ambassador gave the impression to Saddam Hussein that it was just a mere border dispute with Kuwait and that we werent involved strategically.
All these things are, again, the Thucydidean idea that perceptions rather than real need that people are starving or they need oil or they have some strategic necessity that forces them to go to war. It doesnt seem to compute very much when you examine the causes of war throughout history.
CONAN: You go back to November of 1979 and what became the Iranian hostage crisis and suggests that there might have been a difference if the affluent West had issued if the American government had issued something along the following lines: If the Iranian government does not release the 52 captured and illegally detained American diplomatic and military personnel, the U.S. will soon began a systematic aerial destruction of all its military assets. If the personnel are harmed in any way, the government of the United States will further ensure the destruction of the Iranian power grid, refinery capacity and general infrastructure.
Mr. HANSON: Yeah. I think that when Jimmy Carter looked at that crisis, there was a lot of guilt over backing the Shah rather than an analysis that, given the extremes between the Shah and Khomeini, the Shah may have had the ability to evolve in a way that would be more favorable to women or other groups in a way that Khomeini would never do.
And that was really the birth of radical Islam and led to a whole string of incidents, terrorist incidents of the type that we see now. And, yet, had we said to that illiberal government, you violated international law, you've attacked the United States by invading its embassy, and then give them a series of deadlines not to - and have them met, I think that we wouldnt have ended up in the situation where we are today.
And it was the perception on their part, I think, you could make the argument that Ronald Reagan might have done something different than Jimmy Carter that - that eventually won their release. Because there was probably a likelihood had Reagan been confronted with the situation that Carter was, he wouldve probably used force. Although later on in Lebanon, he seemed not to...
CONAN: Stick to it.
Mr. HANSON: ...understand that lesson.
CONAN: Yeah.
Mr. HANSON: Yeah.
CONAN: Well, there was disaster.
Mr. HANSON: So it's not a Republican or a Democratic problem. It's the -it's very hard for a commander-in-chief to say that if I dont - if I act here, some people might be injured but a lot more people will be saved because I will reestablish deterrents and red lines. And that's very hard for a commander-in-chief because appeasement - if I could use that term - I know it's been used too loosely. But it's always the more enjoyable or the more attractive option in the short term because nobody is going to get killed in the short term.
CONAN: Yeah...
Mr. HANSON: And the idea that in the long term, it's going to get people - a lot more people killed is something that's always abstract and theoretical.
CONAN: Some would question, though, what they might consider your stark view of human nature, that we are still prisoners of the same kinds of traps that affected the ancient Greeks, that surely we wouldve figured out other ways, conflict resolution there...
Mr. HANSON: Yeah, absolutely. I'm depressed too because I see - I pick up the paper, I say, my God, this is what the - the promise of the Enlightenment was that educated, well-fed, well-taken care of individuals with suits and ties can adjudicate things in a way that cavemen couldnt. And, yet, we see these conflicts all the time.
But there isnt so much reason for pessimism because war - we have 2,500 years of it. So we do have case studies. We can look at it empirically and see how they arise, how they break out, how they end, what the course of events is during their duration and learn from them.
And it seems to me that if we sort of get rid of the intellectual arrogance that we're - we've arrived at the end of history and say, look, we have to be military prepared, we have to ensure that there's deterrence, we have to work with allies that have shared democratic values, we can deter people at a stage where violence will not ensue.
CONAN: Yet...
Mr. HANSON: ...where the opposite is pretty depressing, I think.
CONAN: Again, some people would say, what does Thucydides or Xenophon or the Roman authors have to say about the post-9/11 world? It's completely different.
Mr. HANSON: Yeah. You got a good point because a lot of people in the United States suggest that technology has changed the course of events, that maybe even that brain chemistry has evolved in 2,500 years so that we're not - we dont think, we dont react to stimuli - I've had people tell me that - as the Greeks 2,500 years ago.
It reminds me of my grandfather. The first time I turned on a pump, he walked over and said, you know, look at this, 1,500 gallons a minute, instantaneous water. I used to get three with my hand on the old hand pump. And he turned to me and he said, you think water has changed? His point was, dont be fooled by technology, that we're human, water is an element, it will never change. And therefore, the general principles of irrigation have to be understood whether you're delivering 1,500 gallons per minute or you're doing just two or three.
And I think that's the same with war. We're so caught up in technology and drones and all of this pizzazz that we forget that it's still a human enterprise and human nature, I don't think, has changed in a mere 2,500 years. So we have to understand what motivates us, what deters us, what makes certain collections of individuals, which that's all nations are, do things that don't seem rational or explicable in retrospect.
CONAN: We're talking with Victor Davis Hanson about his new book "The Father Of Us All, War And History: Ancient And Modern." You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.
There's also a fascinating aside that you go into, talking about Lincoln and the Civil War. And with, again, a modern application and that is that public regard for how you're doing in the war really dictates a great deal of how you are - will do and indeed how you are regarded by history.
Mr. HANSON: I think so. I think Lincoln said to the effect that public opinion is everything in a war in this constitutional consensual society. And remember, by 1864, after the Wilderness and Cold Harbor and Sherman hadn't taken Atlanta yet, he was not only probably going to lose to McClellan, he might not have been nominated because people were talking about Freeman.
Same thing with Truman. In the dark days of winter of 1950...
CONAN: And Korea.
Mr. HANSON: ...and then, in April with MacArthur, he had MacArthur incident and we could go on and on and on and on. And there are these -and public opinion, in March of 2003, 71 percent wanted to go into Iraq and were triumphant when the statue fell. And yet, by the time of the surge, the debate of whether to go in surge or not was only 34 percent.
People, whether we like it or not, they have ideologies but they're -the overriding impulse is to identify themselves with success and distance themselves from failure. And I wish that were not true, but I think it's true of everybody, of every ideological stripe and I think that commanders-in-chief understand that. And, boy, it's absolutely true if we look at our own recent history...
CONAN: And...
Mr. HANSON: ...no matter where we are.
CONAN: And true, certainly, even with the Civil War, which we now regard as a war of liberation, a war with the greatest moral purposes ever.
Mr. HANSON: I'm afraid you're right, Neal. I think if Sherman had not taken Atlanta on September 2nd, Lincoln would not have won that election. And I'm convinced of that. On the - because after all, Gettysburg was a distant memory. The idea that the Confederates had lost the big battle, they'd failed in the Northern invasion, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address, nobody after Cold Harbor remembered that. All they remember it is that - the summer of woe, 100,000 casualties, the army at Potomac had been destroyed and there was crazy Uncle Billy Sherman who was up to and really saved the Union cause. And he did it in spectacular fashion, sent a telegram, Atlanta is ours and fairly won. And bingo, you couldn't find anybody who didn't like Lincoln and hadn't been for him all along.
CONAN: And we have yet to address the opening of your book, which is that we need to teach military history and we don't.
Mr. HANSON: Yeah, I think we should because I think there's two or three reasons. I mentioned one that it's didactic and we can learn from history and try to avoid wars in the future by learning what causes them in the past. But there's also a moral impulse that we drive by these military summaries off the freeway or we walk by them and we have no idea of the collective sacrifice of thousands of people who gave up everything at 18, 19, 20 in places that we don't even remember: Taroa or Belleau Wood or Shiloh Church. And people don't forget that.
And yet, when we watch "Oprah," we go order Pizza Hut takeout and go to Wal-Mart, all of that freedom and affluence and bounty is predicated on a very small number of Americans who were willing to give up everything. And I think - so there's a moral nature of, I think, involved in it. The final thing is that history inquiry started as military history, and only military history. So, Thucydides, Peloponnesian War, earlier, Herodotus, Persian War, Punic Wars, Polivius - I could go on and on.
But they saw that all moments were not equal. In other words, that when people were fighting over their very lives, that time was compressed or accelerated. And things happen - technology, political developments, revolutions, all of that happened and then Thucydides or Polivius would say to us, 1947 was not as important as 1945, 1918 was more important than 1921, 1864-5 was important than 1852. And for us that are - sort of believe in relativism, we think everything is equal and all history has merits or demerits but not in the classical sense of military history. I think it would be wise for us to rediscover that notion.
CONAN: And wise to remember, as you point out early in your book, that Socrates, the great critic of the war of his lifetime and the invasion of Syracuse and Sicily, was in fact a veteran of the army.
MR. HANSON Yes. Yes, at three places (unintelligible) and if I could summarize his ideas, whatever good that I can do by objecting to Sicily, the Sicilian Expedition of 415, and he did object to it, is overshadowed by the fact that I can do a lot of damage once my country makes a decision to go to war by helping its defeat.
And whether you agree with it or not, that's pretty much the final paragraph of Eugene Sledges with the old we sort of forget it but he says, Okinawas pretty bad. Things went wrong. There were a lot of atrocities. But if the United States is good enough to live in, it's good enough to defend in its entirety. And it's very, very that message is often lost because it's sort of anti-war memoir but we forget that beneath it, it's a very - it's a pay on to the United States' singularity.
CONAN: Victor Davis Hanson, thanks very much for your time today.
MR. HANSON Thank you again, Neal, I appreciate it.
Mr. HANSON: Victor Davis Hansen is the author of "The Father Of Us All: War and History, Ancient and Modern." He joined us from a studio on the campus of Stanford University, where he's senior fellow at Hoover Institution.

Eleanor and I returned after a week on Jekyll Island, Georgia. It has been my home away from home. But this past weekend brought that to a close.
The Wanderer Memory Trail opening was a success. I guess I sweated it enough to make it so. Dignitaries from Washington, Atlanta and Charleston were in attendance. The Geechee Gullah Ring Shouters performed and introduced the story of 409 Africans that were subjected -against their will- an horrid, illegal, lethal voyage to become the penultimate group of survivors of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade to reach the shores of the American South and the last in Georgia. I had taken on this project with limited support and as the time drug on I made new friends, learned much about African American interpretation challenges, was overwhelmed at times by cultural appropriation and white supremacy. From a conceptual plan and formative evaluation to script writing, CADD drawings, long days fabricating each component, overseeing the setting of poles at dawn, getting help from old and new friends... it was a project to remember.

At present, apart from Cartier brand, more and more famous people have become interested in the Chopard brand. Most female stars like choosing Chopard jewelries and watches to beautify themselves, and more and more male celebrities begin to select the Chopard watches. Classically, the simple fake Chopard L.U.C 1937 Classic watches have obtained the favor of Jake Gyllenhaal.
How Does Jake Gyllenhaal Interpret Elegance?
- Decent Decorations
With the identity of an American actor, Jake Gyllenhaal needs to pay more attention to the outer looks in public, especially in the film festival. Not only dressed formally with black suits, black bow tie and white shirt, he also relied on the black alligator strap Chopard replica watch sales forever, enhancing the perfect maturity and charm.
- High Practicality
In addition to the trendy style with rose gold cases and black straps, the Swiss copy watches with self-winding movements efficiently indicate the basic time with luminescent hands and additional date display.
Have you learned the high fashion from Jake Gyllenhaal with elaborate Chopard reproduction watches online?

Some Tri-state homes over 100 degrees inside
For those without air conditioning, no relief indoors
With the temperature rising to over 100 degrees, air conditioning provides a savior for many, but for those without it, the outdoors may be warmer than their steamy homes.
Inez Johnson and her family live in an apartment without air conditioning in Pendleton.
The high temperatures inside the apartment have sent her outside, which she said is cooler.
Inez Johnson said she finds the heat "very uncomfortable."
Five-year-old Antjuan Johnson agreed that "the heat is real, real hot."
The temperatures in the house, as measured by a thermometer that reads surface temperatures, reached about 80 or 90 degrees in the hallway. The upper floor was even hotter, with some surfaces measuring over 100 degrees.
The hottest place in the house, near the window of Antjuan Johnson's room, measured 124 degrees.
Inez Johnson said the "bad part" about the heat is that all her kids have asthma.
Because many of the people lacking air conditioning live in brick buildings that radiate heat, a cool break for many will not arrive until the heat wave passes.

Sunnybank is a suburb in south Brisbane wherein the real estate market is generally upscale owing to its splendid location and setting. It is bordered north by McCullough Street East, east by Bulimba Creek and south by Beenleigh Road. Another major corridor, Pinelands Road, cuts across north to south. This suburb evolved from the old town of Sunnybank which was later absorbed into the city of Brisbane. Eventually sliced into separate suburbs, Sunnybank's land area now consists of just 4.4 square kilometres, certainly a far cry from the expansive acreage of the Sunnybank town when it was established in the 1800s as an agricultural settlement. The original farmer-settlers of Sunnybank were largely drawn to the area because of its rolling hills and the nearby headwaters of Stable Swamp Creek and Bulimba Creek. This suburb's name, in fact, was derived from Sunny Brae, one of the prominent farms in the area. With brae a Scottish word for bank in English, the suburb eventually came to be known as Sunnybank.
Sound Template of Development
The bountiful farm produce in Sunnybank and its neighbouring farms were pivotal to the construction of local transportation infrastructures necessary to bring harvests to Queensland's markets. These transport facilities include the South Coast railway built in 1885, Beenleigh Road which formed a central axis across the suburb, and Logan Road to its northeast.
In subsequent years, the same transport network was improved upon, thus laying the ground for further development of properties in and around Sunnybank. Amongst the recent improvements which helped sustain real estate market interest in this suburb include the widening of the bridge on Mains Road which crosses the train line at Altandi.
Neighbourhoods Take Over
Housing estates began displacing Sunnybank farms during the late 1950s up to the 1960s. Along with these developments came the construction of the Sunnybank primary school in 1959 and a high school in 1963. The Catholic Church made its presence felt in the area with its establishment of the St Thomas Moore secondary college in 1975 after setting up its own primary school adjacent to the local church.
This suburb's growth as a residential enclave was also spurred by the construction of large regional shopping centres around its periphery. These commercial hubs included those at Upper Mt Gravatt which opened in 1970 and at Sunnybank Hills which followed in 1976. Within Sunnybank though, retail establishments built were confined to neighbourhood drive-in centres which opened during the 1970s, with the end result of this suburb retaining much of its laid-back charm.
Game-changers in Asian Residents
In the early 1980s, Sunnybank and its surrounding Brisbane suburbs started transforming into a multicultural hub with the increasing influx of Asian immigrants. These folks were said to have been drawn to the area as its street layout resembled a dragon, a symbol of good fortune in the Asian culture. The Chinese, in particular middle class migrants, favored residing in Sunnybank as it appears to be the dragon's heart as pictured amidst its nearby suburbs.
The entry of Asian immigrants brought a dramatic makeover of the Sunnybank area. This is especially so at its main commercial district—Sunnybank Plaza—situated on the intersection of Mains Road and McCullough Street. Here, Asian businesses and restaurants now dominate, and commercial signs are written in Chinese and English. With this distinctively Asian flavor, many folks are wont to call Sunnybank and the neighbouring Sunnybank Hills area as Brisbane's new Chinatown. Sunnybank plaza has a large bus station, one of the major stops on most local bus routes.
Another local shopping hub, Market Square, is Asian-focused, featuring many Asian shops and restaurants. Other shopping centres near Sunnybank include Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown Centro Pinelands, Oasis Shopping Village, Westfield Garden City, and Calamvale Central.
Recreational Delights
But true to its emergent multicultural character, Sunnybank has more to offer besides its growing Asian influences. At McCullough Street, the 300-seat Performing Arts Centre opened in 2016. This $10 million cultural hub is notably a joint project of the Brisbane City Council and the Sunnybank Rugby Union Club.
For local recreation, Sunnybank residents have the choice in a bowling green and several leafy and amenity-rich parks. The largest, Les Atkinson Park at Beenleigh Road, provides outdoor exercise facilities, a walking path and bikeway network, a picnic area, amongst other enticing features. Additionally, several linear parks along Bulimba Creek provide not only recreational opportunities but also extend a refreshing backdrop for many real estate properties in Sunnybank.
House sale choices in Sunnybank include sturdy brick family homes on spacious lots, which could draw multiple buying interest from end-users, developers and investors alike. A residence for sale or home rental for luxury townhouses in this suburb can quickly bag a contract especially those which are within a secure, gated complex.
Stay abreast of the dynamic real estate opportunities in Sunnybank through our network. We take pride in a team of realtors and agents well attuned to the market trends of suburban Brisbane. Call or e-mail us for the expert brokerage services we extend not only to house buyers and renters but also to home sellers.

Lewis Diuguid | For needy, health care has dose of shame
A stigma of shame stalks government health care for the poor and could affect the education children receive in school.
That was the outcome of a study presented last month at the international convention of the National Association for Multicultural Education. Researchers with Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, Tenn., examined TennCare, their state's version of Medicaid. The program has been in place since 1994 and serves more than a million low-income residents.
But recipients said they feel saddled with shame, disgrace and blame because they must depend on TennCare. It comes from harsh questions, severe limitations and transportation challenges getting to physicians.
The system "can cause emotional hardships and cause people to avoid health care altogether," said Amber Spears, instructor of curriculum with the College of Education at the university. That only increases health-care disparities.
Spears and other educators said they took on the topic, gathering data, conducting interviews and collecting documents because they saw health care as a big concern for low-income families and children. Poor health hurts kids' ability to do well in school.
They can't concentrate in the classroom if they are concerned about the health of a family member. And children who miss school because of their own health problems also fall behind academically.
Researchers said some intrusive TennCare questions included asking women to reveal the number of sex partners they have, disclose how much money they have in the bank and whether their children have savings.
That discourages families from saving money for such things as a car, severely limiting their ability to get better jobs and even to get to their doctor's appointments, said Alice K. Camuti, director of the Office of Career Services at the university. People with no bank accounts have a more difficult time saving to pull themselves out of poverty.
TennCare clients are made to feel hurt, embarrassed, stupid, lazy, criminalized, angry, humbled and ashamed, said Julie C. Baker, assistant dean of the College of Education at the university. "One person described it as bondage with an underlying feeling of shame," Baker said.
Welfare and Medicaid recipients in Kansas and Missouri no doubt face the same stigma. Because neither state would expand Medicaid, more low-income people are likely to suffer poor health.
The researchers described how people receiving TennCare also felt threatened with being dropped from the system if they violated any of the rules. That left them feeling helpless.
"You feel like you're trash," Baker said. People have to take what they're given, knowing they are being treated badly.
To close the achievement gap, government has to do what it can to tackle poverty, and fixing a health-care system that alienates people must be part of that, said Janet Isbell, an assistant professor in the College of Education. The researchers said they planned to continue to collect data for analysis and talk with state lawmakers about how to make TennCare better for users.
Lisa Zagumny, associate dean and director of doctoral studies at the College of Education, said she hoped the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's signature legislation, would be the beginning of "a cultural shift to help all users and erase the stigma for low-income families and individuals."
Revelations from the study should help make health care better for all. Isbell said that ultimately, people, regardless of income, government or private market health insurance, should receive the same treatment.
The isolation and poverty-driven stigma must end — along with the Obamacare trash talk — ensuring good health for all Americans.
