Psychotherapy - Working Online
Walter Logeman interviewed by Ulla Damgaard-Sørensen. From the Journal: CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY TRAINING RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, Vol. 2, No. 1, 2003. Will give you an insight as to what it may be like for you working online with your psychological issues.
Here are answers to questions about my approach to psychotherapy online:
Addiction Can Psychotherapy help?
Approaches Does Psychotherapy online include...?
Catharsis Can strong feelings be attended to online?
Cyberspace A few thoughts about the medium.
Dreamwork Work with a dream.
I don't like myself! Get your self esteem back, learn to love yourself as you are.
Goals What is the place of goal setting in psychotherapy?
Counselling Sharing problems and feelings, now, and feel some relief.
Grief A Journey that visits you!

How long does therapy take?
Managing Mail A part of the creative process (for some).
Transference Is working by email prone to misunderstandings?
Online Time How do you have sessions online?
Pros and Cons Can psychotherapy be done online? Can we do real therapy here? Yes. For people who are reasonably familiar with communication over the Internet, online therapy can be effective and have some advantages over face-to-face work. There are also some difficulties inherent in the process.
Psychotherapy Space Make a place to do this work.
Relationships Working with your relationship online! And offline.
Role Reversal An essential part of psychological healing.

Your heart pounds. You hear the roar and look around. You find yourself surrounded by an enormous cheering crowd in a huge Olympic stadium. You look down to see that you are not only in a big stadium, but you are on the track…and your toes are on the starting line!
The starter raises his arm to fire the gun to start the race and your pulse quickens. But as you look down you realize with surprise that you're not even close to being ready to run. You're wearing big heavy boots and there are ropes and chains wrapped around your ankles. You're clothes are heavy and baggy. Suddenly you can't catch your breath. The pistol sounds and you lunge forward but immediatly fall to the track.
Sound like a bad dream?
Guess what…it's not a dream.
It's your life.
Hebrews 12:1 says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us."
All of us find ourselves in a race that we're ill prepared to run. We refuse to train. We insist on carrying unnecessary baggage. And we continue to tolerate sin in our lives and that trips us up and keeps us from running with endurance.
We're trying to run a race we have no hope of finishing because we don't choose to run like winners. How do winners run?
- Strip off every weight. Get rid of the baggage; the bad relationships, the wrong job, the bad habits, the extra weight, the finacial mismanagement and other entanglements that only serve to slow you down and keep you from running fast and light.
- Shed the sin that so easily trips you up. Sin is a handicap that you don't have to live with. But chances are, you're currently tolerating sin in your life because you don't see it as a threat. Trust me…it's a threat. Sin isn't static. It grows and bears fruit. And that's a harvest you can ill-afford.
- Run with endurance. Running with endurance is a mindset. What you need to understand is that the finish line doesn't come when you die. Death only marks the end of your leg of the race. The finish line is a line you won't cross. But your children or their children will. What are you doing now with the leg of the race that's been entrusted to you? Are you running to endure?
We all have a leg to run. It's our responsibility to run as far and as fast as we can; to do our part. So, get rid of the baggage. Shake loose the sin. Run for the long haul.
It's an amazing race indeed.

Adopt-an-Alpaca 365
"Mom, can we get an alpaca?"
As silly as that question seems, it could be more within reach than you realize. For a yearly fee of $200.00, you can adopt an alpaca from Silkie's Farm. That works out to about .55 cents per day. Your purchase helps to feed and care for your alpaca.
Your adoption includes:
- Adoption Certificate
- 8.5 x 11 photo of your adorable alpaca
- ARI Certificate (copy) showing the alpaca's pedigree and lineage
- Invitations to farm events including Shearing Day, Fall Farm Day, Local Appearances
- 5% discount on all farm store purchases – including items from Marcia's Mud – for that year
- 2 skeins of yarn from your alpaca (if we do not have your alpaca in stock, we will offer an alternative)
- 10% discount on purchase of any alpaca for sale if you choose to do so in the future
- Visits – by appointment – to come visit your alpaca a few times per year
Of course, adopting an alpaca for a year does not mean you take it home with you, but you get all the benefits without having to clean up after your 'pet'. If your alpaca should be sold to another owner during your adoption year, we will offer another selection to complete your year.
At Silkie's Farm, we often acquire pets (rabbits, chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, etc) from other people because they can no longer care for them or they have just grown tired of them. We admit, we have soft hearts. We also know what a joy it is to 'try on' an animal experience before purchase. It can be the perfect pathway to decide if alpaca ownership is right for you. It can also be a unique and fun gift for a special someone who is tough to buy for or has everything! No matter what brings you to your reason for Adopt-an-Alpaca 365, we are certain you will be pleased with the 365 days of joy it will bring to you!
Q: How do I …..Adopt-an-Alpaca 365?
A: Simply contact us and let us know which alpaca you have fallen in love with and want to adopt for the year.
Q: How do I pay for this purchase?
A: We will invoice you through PayPal. Once payment is received, we will follow through with all the items listed in your purchase.
Q: What happens at the end of the purchase year?
A: You are welcome to renew your purchase if you like or let it expire. We will notify you when your year is about to expire and leave that choice up to you.
Q: How often can I visit my alpaca?
A: We are a working farm. We are happy to have you come visit your alpaca and bring others with you to enjoy the experience. We do ask that you give us notice and respect our farm privacy.
Q: Can I switch alpacas in my term year?
A: We would prefer if you stick with the original alpaca that you choose. We give detailed descriptions of all of our animals and hope that by reading through them you will make a suitable choice at the time of purchase. If you really want to change alpaca ownership during your yearly purchase, we can work together to choose an alternative to complete your year.
Q: Which alpacas can I choose?
A: ALL of our alpacas and even our llamas are included in the Adopt an Alpaca 365 program.

I think that it is safe to say we have made it to spring. It's May, and the weather has finally turned warm, and now it is time for Minnesota to shine. I can't think of any better combination in spring than beer and (Twins) baseball. Yes, the Minnesota Twins may not have the best record at the moment, but the essential kick-off to spring in Minnesota is having a beer at a baseball game. Lucky for us Target Field continues to offer new food and beer options every year. This year they include 312, Angry Orchard, Bauhaus, Corona, Finnegans, Fulton, Grain Belt, Leinenkugel, Lift Bridge, Redbridge, Schell's, Summit, and Third Street, to name a few. There truly is a beer for everyone and you can taste plenty of your local favorites.
If you haven't made it to a game yet and still want to drink like you are at Target Field, come on down to the store, because we have over 700 cold beers in our newly expanded cold beer selection. We have new beers arriving daily and can help you select the perfect spring beer for your palate. After all, watching baseball is so much more fun with a cold brew in your hand. Cheers to warm weather (finally)!

What is iTunes U?
Designed for students and teachers, iTunes U is an educational app packed with a wide range of subject matter, courses and news. Apple claims it's a handy resource for both students and teachers, as it allows you to engage in head to head debates and group chats. Is it time to sack off your seminars and cancel your library membership?
What's good?
Similar to the Podcasts app, you can quickly and easily pick out the lectures, videos and books you're most interested in. There's plenty to choose from too, with over a million different resources available from the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Yale and Stanford. If, like me, you love history, you can dive straight into courses on anything from the Persian Wars to the American Civil war.
On those days when your favourite topics just aren't hitting the spot, the constantly-updating home page usually offers great routes to subjects you might not ordinarily find yourself attracted to. The science section snared me good and proper.
It's not just good news for students either. Teachers have access to the same free content, but can also plan lessons, annotate resources and add their own materials to iTunes U.
What's bad?
On an iPhone, iTunes U can look a little overwhelming, as so much information is presented on the screen at any one time. The situation improves vastly on the iPad, though not all users have LTE models for use on the go.
If lectures, seminars and essays aren't enough to satisfy the needs of your knowledge-thirsty brain, iTunes U will definitely keep your little grey cells occupied.

Readers Forum Discussion Notes
July 28, 2019 Discussion: Love Interests in Mysteries
- Avoid tropes & clichés
- Love interests that do not have lives outside of their story's protagonists aren't characters at all
- Love changes people
- Use an appropriate type of romance for your target audience. How much is too much
- Is love even necessary? Does romance belong in a mystery novel?
- What does your protagonist need, not what they want or think they need? a love interest who will challenge, aid, encourage, and maybe irritate them in ways that make the connection between them apparent
- Make your love interest irreplaceable
- Ensure influence is a two-way street
- Love interests can be lovers in the romantic sense, but they do not have to be.
- They are also often catalyst characters. The catalyst is a character who knowingly or unknowingly puts events into action
Killing the love interest is a great way to up the odds for your character
- Ending a love affair can be tricky. If it's a subplot, end it before the end of the main plot.
1. The love interest's role varies a lot. In most romance stories, the love interest is the protagonist's goal or the prize they end up with.
2. In a crime novel, for example, the love interest's role is not necessarily central to the story, but helps to show the character of the protagonist. It can complicate his or her life.

The Do's and Don'ts of Crafting Your Story's Love Interest
By Kristen Kieffer
The Many Types of Love Interests
A love interest is a character whose role in a story is that of a lover — or potential lover — to another character, especially the protagonist. But not all love interests and romantic relationships are created equal. Writers have a plethora of relationship tropes to draw upon when crafting their story's love interests, some more popular than others, including:
Enemies to Lovers
Friends to Lovers
Love Triangles
Second Chances at Love
Rags-to-Riches Romances
Star-Crossed Lovers
Opposites Attract
Fated Romances
Pretend Relationships
Love at First Sight
Royal Romances
Arranged or Political Marriages
Some of these tropes may have you rolling your eyes, but the biggest mistake you can make when crafting a love interest isn't basing their character on a specific romantic trope. There's a romance for every reader, and what trope one reader dislikes will absolutely find a home in the heart of another.
Rather, the biggest mistake you can make is to craft a love interest that exists solely to reward the protagonist for completing their journey. Love interests that do not have lives outside of their story's protagonists aren't characters at all, I'd argue. They are objects, cardboard cutouts, prizes to be won.
Writer, don't objectify your story's love interest this way. Develop them fully instead, giving them purpose and depth that lend power to your story as a whole, as well to their exciting romance with your protagonist. Where do you begin? Let's take a look at some structured first steps:
1: Choose the type of chemistry you'd like to build.
Chemistry is that potent magnetism that draws two people — or, in our case, characters — together. There's certainly something to be said for the mystery of love, but generally speaking, relationships do tend to find their foundations in one or more of the following areas:
• A bond over shared interests or experiences
• A broadening of one another's horizons• A grounding balance between dichotomous personalities
• A shared admiration for one another's spirits
These same types of chemistry can be found in others relationships as well, especially friendships, which is something to keep in mind as you craft the relationships between other characters in your story.
That said, knowing which type(s) of chemistry you'd like to serve as the foundation of your story's romance can go a long way toward helping you define the perfect love interest.
Now is also the time to look back over those relationship tropes we discussed earlier. Is there a specific trope you'd like to employ in your story? This, as well, will play a heavy hand in helping you craft a love interest readers will adore.
2: Define your protagonist's romantic interests.
To choose the best type of chemistry to pursue in your story, you may find it helpful to first understand what your protagonist needs in a relationship. Not what they want or what they think they need, but what will truly bring a little love into their life.
Consequently, this means you must first know your protagonist inside and out.
If you haven't yet taken the time to develop them fully, I'd suggest doing so now. Once you've gotten to know your protagonist, you can begin crafting a love interest who will challenge, aid, encourage, and maybe irritate them in ways that make the connection between them apparent.
"But wait a minute," you say. "I thought you said not to build a love interest that exists solely for my protagonist. Isn't that the biggest mistake I can make?" Absolutely.
Your love interest should exist as a fully-formed individual, with a life outside of the protagonist's story. Readers don't necessarily need to see this life play out on the page, of course, but it should be implied. A little backstory here, a quick mention of career goals or family trouble there. You get the gist.
But if you want to build genuine chemistry between your protagonist and their love interest, that most often means crafting a love interest specifically designed first to catch your protagonist's eye. Which brings us to…
3: Begin crafting your story's love interest.
Now that you've defined the type of chemistry you'd like to build and what your protagonist needs in a relationship, you're ready to begin crafting a love interest who can best fulfill their role in your story.
How you go about crafting your love interest will depend greatly on the first two elements we've just discussed. In addition to these two elements, however, you'll want to consider the type of conflict you want your two lovebirds to face.
Will they fight to maintain the love they already share or will one or both characters need to undergo a bit of transformation before their love can blossom? If the later, don't forget to consider who your love interest is at both the beginning of your story and its happily-ever-after.
Here are some questions you may wish to ask yourself as you work:
What does my protagonist find attractive in a partner?
What kind of partner would bring my protagonist true happiness?
Does my protagonist have any prejudices that would blind them to true love?
What values does my protagonist hold dear?
In what ways does my protagonist feel alone?
What is my protagonist's biggest fear, flaw, or regret?
What kind of love interest could challenge this fear, flaw, or regret?
Do I want to utilize a specific romantic trope in my story?
If so, what elements of this trope would my love interest need to embody?
These questions should help you determine who your love interest needs to be in order to fulfill their role in the romance. After defining their position, you can begin to craft the details of their life outside of the protagonist's story with these thirty-three ways to write stronger characters.
Additional Tips for Crafting Love Interests
Crafting a sensational love interest is certainly no easy task, as each romance is unique its own right. However, I do have a few additional tips you may find helpful as you dive into this tricky character-creation process:
1: Give your love interest autonomy.
As we briefly discussed, love interests should never be treated as a prize your protagonist is awarded after overcoming the villain, achieving their story goal, or undergoing a necessary inner transformation.
This trope, which disproportionately affects female love interests, is a form of objectification that's sure to leave a bad taste in many readers' mouths. To counteract this, treat your love interest as the protagonist of their own story, giving them autonomy in the form of their own goals, desires, and needs.
2: Make your love interest human.
It's easy to idealize our love interests, projecting onto them our own unrealistic wishes and desires. But doing so is a surefire way to make them unbelievable as characters, even cringeworthy.
To take this trope to task, make your love interest just as human as any other character. A few fears, flaws, and regrets can go a long way!
3: Make your love interest irreplaceable.
Further your love interest's development as a character by giving them a role in your story that is unrelated to their romance with the protagonist. If the love interest can be removed from your story with little to no consequence to the main storyline, it's likely you're treating them as a prize to be won.
Instead, take a look at some of the purposes sidekicks and mentor characters can serve, and consider how these elements may apply to your story's love interest. This tip is especially helpful for romantic subplots, where removing a love interest wouldn't automatically destroy the entire plot.
4: Ensure influence is a two-way street.
Relationships are a push-and-pull, a give-and-take. Protagonists are often challenged or transformed by their relationship with the love interest, but don't forget to allow the relationship to shape your love interest in return. For more on that, consider crafting your story's character arcs today!
Romantic relationships are complex and diverse, as evidenced by the depth and popularity of romance as a genre.
But whether you're writing the next great love story or simply including a romantic subplot in your book, giving your love interest and their relationship with the protagonist the time and intention they deserve is the surest way to craft a sensational romance readers won't soon forget!

The Role Of The Love Interest In Fiction
What is the role of the love interest in your story? Writers Write, your one-stop writing resource, gives you some advice.
Love changes people. It can make good people bad and bad people good. It can make an awkward person slightly less awkward or more awkward when they learn to accept their awkwardness, because someone who is equally awkward shows them that they are just the right kind of awkward.

Love makes people do interesting things. That is why the love interest is such an interesting character. People kill for love. People steal for love.
Think of our favourite love stories: Gone with the Wind, The Notebook, Up Close and Personal, Romeo and Juliet. We fall in love with the characters. We want to be in love with them.
The love interest's role varies a lot. In most romance stories, the love interest is the protagonist's goal or the prize they end up with.
In a crime novel, for example, the love interest's role is not necessarily central to the story, but helps to show the character of the protagonist. It can complicate his or her life.
If the friend's goal is to help the protagonist, the lover's goal is to lure the protagonist away from his or her goal. For example, if the husband wants to be the CEO and he works late, starts studying for an MBA, and taking on more and more work. His wife wants him home in time for dinner with her and the kids.
There are, of course, many definitions of love.
Love interests can be lovers in the romantic sense, but they do not have to be. As Amanda Patterson writes, 'It should be a person or an animal that your protagonist loves. It could be a friend, a pet, or a family member.
Writers use love interests to support protagonists and to thwart them by threatening their well-being.' (6 Sub-Plots That Add Style To Your Story)
They are also often catalyst characters. The catalyst is a character who knowingly or unknowingly puts events into action. They cause things to happen, which is a broad description and can apply to most characters, but think of the big things they do to add to the conflict in your protagonist's life. Does he or she have an affair? Do they set ultimatums? Does she fall pregnant?
The love interest helps us to show the internal and external changes in our characters. It is a good way to demonstrate the character arc. A solitary character may open up and allow someone in, for example.
Raising The Stakes
Killing the love interest is a great way to up the odds for your character. Grief rips a hole into their life, for example if the serial killer strikes close to home by killing the detective's girlfriend. It makes him even more determined to catch the killer. In Braveheart, the death of his wife forces him into battle.
Love triangles are also very popular. Think about Peeta, Gale and Katniss or Jacob, Bella and Edward. They add lots of conflict.
Don't Neglect Them
Be careful of neglecting the character development of your love interest. Often we think they aren't important, but if we are to take the protagonist's emotions seriously, we need to fall in love with them as well.
Your subplots should end before your main storyline. If you are using the love interest as a subplot, this is the one storyline you can tie up last. Your protagonist can walk off into the sunset with the love interest. Readers like that.
Hope you fall in love and happy writing.

It can be challenging to find the right financial advisor because there are so many competing for your business. That's why SmartAsset put in the work to help you find the top financial firms in Jackson, Mississippi. This list of the top Jackson financial advisor firms comes from hours of research into the city's firms. We lay out our findings below and explain what differentiates these firms from each other. If you would like more guidance in your search, SmartAsset's financial advisor matching tool can pair you with a financial advisor near you.

How We Found the Top Financial Advisor Firms in Jackson, Mississippi
To create this list of top financial firms, SmartAsset considered all firms in Jackson that are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We specifically looked at SEC-registered firms, because they have a fiduciary duty to put their clients' best interests ahead of their own. From there, we eliminated any firms with disciplinary issues. Only firms with a clean record made it onto our final list for consideration. We also eliminated firms that did not manage individual accounts or did not have financial planners on staff. The remaining firms were sorted according to assets under management (AUM), from highest AUM to lowest.
Ballew Wealth Management
Topping our list of the best financial advisory firms in Jackson, Mississippi, is Ballew Wealth Management, which holds more than $571 million in assets under management (AUM). The firm offers portfolio management and financial planning services to individuals, corporations and charitable organizations. Most of its clients, however, are individuals who fall outside the scope of high-net-worth. This means the average client of Ballew has a net-worth of less than $1 million. So it may be the right firm for individuals who are just embarking on their journey to build wealth.
To open an account and receive investment advisory services with Ballew, you'd generally need a minimum initial investment of $100,000.
The firm's founder Matt Ballew still works as an advisor for the company and holds Series 7, 8, 24, 53 and 63 licenses. The firm employs eight members including two certified financial planners (CFPs), one certified public accountant (CPA), one chartered financial consultant (ChFC) and one chartered life underwriter (CLU).
Ballew Wealth Management Background
Matt Ballew founded the firm in 1991, making it one of the longest-running firms on our list. Today, Ballew serves as chairman of the board.
Ballew along with other members of the firm are also representatives of the affiliate Ballew Investments, a broker-dealer. This arrangement may create a potential conflict of interest as these advisors can receive commissions and other forms of compensation by recommending certain investments. However, the firm states that "Ballew Advisors and these individuals endeavor at all times to put the interest of the clients first as part of our fiduciary duty."
Ballew Wealth Management Investment Strategy
Ballew constructs portfolios for its clients based on an asset allocation that adheres to their risk tolerance and investment objectives. It also considers other factors like tax implications. Your portfolio may invest in some or all of the following:
- Mutual funds
- Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
- Fixed-income securities
- Exchange-listed securities
- Certificates of deposit (CDs).
But unlike several firms, Ballew permits clients to make certain restrictions on investing in specific types of securities or industry sectors. In addition, the firm engages in both long-term purchases and short-term purchasing strategies. The former involves holding onto securities for a year or longer when the firm believes these are currently undervalued. With short-term purchases, Ballew buys securities with the intent to sell within a year to take advantage of projected price swings.
Wealthview Capital, LLC
Like EFP Advisors, Wealthview Capital, LLC is a fee-only advisor, which means it does not receive any commissions like fee-based firms may. It is also a small firm with three investment advisors, according to recent filings with the SEC.
However, the firm's employees hold some notable designations. Founder Sam Taylor is a certified investment management analyst (CIMA), an accredited investment fiduciary (AIF) and a chartered retirement planning counselor (CRPC). In addition, the firm also employs two other CFPs.
Wealthview Capital has more than $170 million in assets under management (AUM). It does not have a set account minimum, nor does it charge a minimum annual fee. Account management fees are assessed at marginal rates and based on assets under management. These annual fees range from 0.25% to 1.00% depending on the size of your account.
More than three-quarters of Wealthview Capital clients are high-net-worth individuals. Those are not the only clients that the firm serves, however. It also works with non-high-net-worth individuals, businesses, trusts and foundations.
Wealthview Capital, LLC Background
Samuel J. Taylor founded Wealthview Capital in 2009 and remains the principal owner. He opened the firm with the goal of starting a "high-touch, low-cost alternative for professional wealth management."
Wealthview Capital takes a holistic approach when managing portfolios. It believes investment decisions are about more than just looking at the numbers. It considers a client's individual goals, risk tolerance and values. So if you're saving for retirement or you're investing to set the next generation up for success, Wealthview Capital aims to help you achieve all of those goals.
The firm offers a number of financial planning services including education planning, retirement planning, insurance planning and legacy planning. These are all in addition to investment and portfolio management services.
Wealthview Capital, LLC Investing Strategy
Wealthview Capital's investing goals are to create diverse, low-cost and tax-efficient portfolios for clients. In line with that goal, the firm adheres to the efficient market theory. This theory states that it is not possible to "beat" the market. Instead, investors should take a more passive approach.
Wealthview Capital's approach is active indexing. The firm uses an index fund to create a baseline asset allocation and then adjusts from the index to incorporate other profitable securities.
EFP Advisors
EFP Advisors is a fee-only advisor with more than $169 million in assets under management (AUM). As a fee-only firm, advisors only receive compensation from management fees. They do not receive any commissions, referral fees or other forms of compensation.
EFP Advisors is a relatively small firm with four investment advisors on staff. One advisor is a certified financial planner (CFP) and another is both a CFP and a certified public accountant (CPA).
There is no required minimum for opening an account with EFP Advisors, but clients with lower account balances will pay higher management fees. The firm charges its management fee at marginal rates, so clients with less than $250,000 under management will pay a fee of 1.95% of their AUM. In addition, clients with assets between $250,001 and $500,000 will pay a fee of 1.75%, and clients with $5,000,001 or more under management would face a fee of 0.50%.
The firm serves mostly high-net-worth individuals but it may also serve non-high-net-worth individuals, businesses, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates and charitable organizations.
EFP Advisors Background
EFP Advisors was founded in 2012 by Douglas McDaniel and Christopher Register. They are still the principal owners, with McDaniel serving as president and Register serving as vice president. The firm may also does business under the names McDaniel & Register Inc., R. Lenoir & Associates, W. O. Stone Advisors and Collaborative Advice.
EFP Advisors offers clients general financial planning services in addition to portfolio management services. Portfolio management also includes assistance with creating and maintaining a portfolio for a 401(k) plan.
EFP Advisors Investing Strategy
According to EFP Advisors, minimizing risk is a priority for all client portfolios. The firm does this by using a globally diverse asset allocation. The firm invests in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in addition to individual securities.
Notably, the firm says it will sometimes adjust a client's asset allocation to capitalize on "fat-pitch" opportunities. The firm defines a "fat-pitch" opportunity as a case where it finds "one asset undervalued relative to competing asset classes."

From the web site www.sailhome.org - an excellent site
The CDC claims human papilloma viruses (HPV) alter cells, ultimately triggering cancers of the cervix and genitalia.
HPV is not the only potential source for these cancers. Validating the actual cause of these cancers is difficult. The only way to detect the presence of HPV in women is through a special DNA test. Only a small number of women will ever acquire cervical cancer traceable to HPV. Regular Pap testing remains the best means for identifying cervical cancer regardless of origin.
There are over 100 HPV strains. Approximately 30 of them are transmitted sexually. In rare circumstances, 10 of these might precipitate cancer. Gardasil targets 4 viruses presumed to cause 70% of these rare cancer cases.
The vaccine has not been proven to actually prevent cancer. The vaccine does not prevent the transfer of sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Most women who get HPV clear it from their systems naturally.
Gardasil vaccine is injected 3 times over a 6 month period. Along with other chemicals contained in the vaccine, recipients will receive a total of 675 µg aluminum, 150 µg polysorbate 80, and 105 µg sodium borate.
Each individual dose of Gardasil contains 225 µg aluminum. An 11-year old female in the 50th percentile weighs 37 kg.
Unit conversion yields
There is no safety standard for injected aluminum.
However, using the National Secondary Drinking Water standard for aluminum of 0.05 mg/L (50 ppb) shows that the child's toxic exposure to aluminum is 120x over that limit.
Using the 5 ppb threshold listed under Warnings in this insert for vitamin K injections puts aluminum exposure from a single dose of Gardasil at 1200x over that limit.
This exposure will happen 3 times during 6 months. The burden will be significantly worse if other vaccines are taken into consideration.
This document analyzes adverse events associated with Gardasil as recorded in the VAERS database. Lowlights include
- Unusually high rates of fainting shortly after administration.
- Rapidly increasing cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) -- a disease where the body's immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system resulting in numbness and tingling, decreased sensation in the hands and feet, weakness and difficulty walking, and in some cases paralysis.
- Life-threatening challenge-rechallenge reactions.
- Over 80 percent of Gardasil adverse event reports to VAERS involve co-administration with one or more vaccines. Toxic synergy at work. There is no empirical evidence to show that giving Gardasil in combination with any other vaccine is safe. Co-administration with Menactra appears to be especially risky.
It is important to note that during clinical trials of Gardasil more than 90% of the 'placebo' subjects received an aluminum-containing placebo.
This obscures the true rate of adverse experiences because aluminum is toxic.
So for example, instead of of the rate of fever in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated being 16% higher, it is more like 1400% higher. Gardasil increases the rate of vomiting not by 25%, but more like 1500%. Using the toxic placebo during trials makes Gardasil appear to be safer than it really is.
Even with that egregious tweaking, trial outcomes still show that the majority of people injected with Gardasil experienced adverse events.
Readers should be especially cautious when interpreting Merck's outcomes for events such as pregnancy-related medical problems and birth defects. By May 11, 2007, of the 42 women who received Gardasil while pregnant, 18 experienced side effects ranging from spontaneous abortion to fetal abnormalities.
Provocative statements by a lead researcher in the development of the HPV vaccine can be found here.
Judicial Watch's coverage of Gardasil can be found here.

Greenwich, CT – April 1, 2019 – Splash Car Wash, headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut (www.splashcarwashes.com), today announced the acquisition of two car wash locations. The first, located in White Plains, New York, was formerly known as Gold's Car Wash & Detail, and will be Splash's 19th US location and 4th in New York. Splash currently operates another carwash in White Plains.
The second is a location in Cromwell, Connecticut, which was previously managed by Splash and operated under the company's banner. Currently an express exterior, Splash plans to renovate the site with a new system adding several new free vacuum stations and adding a flex serve option for people desiring full service vacuuming.
"We're excited about adding these locations", stated Mark Curtis, CEO of Splash. "Our new White Plains store will allow us to better serve our customers on both sides of town. We're also very excited about bringing Cromwell under our ownership, so we can make substantial improvements to the site to better serve our customers there."
Splash partnered with the investment firm, Palladin Consumer Retail Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm, last November. These are the first two acquisitions Splash has made since Palladin made its investment. "We are so excited to 'break the ice' with these great acquisitions, and look forward to adding more sites in the coming months", added Curtis. Splash now operates 19 carwash locations in Connecticut and New York and three in China.
Splash Car Wash was started in 1981 by Mark Curtis and Chris Fisher with a single location in Greenwich, Connecticut. Since that time, Curtis & Fisher have developed over 30 locations, and currently operate 19 locations in Connecticut and New York. All sites include detailing operations and six locations provide oil change services.
Splash has been named "Best Carwash" by numerous publications over 30 times and has been recognized as a "Top 10 Workplace" four times by Hearst Publications. Four General Managers employed by Splash have been recognized as "Most Valuable Carwasher" by Professional Carwash & Detailing Magazine" and one of its GM's was cited as an "Emerging Leader" by the International Carwash Association this year. Splash has been awarded the US Chambers of Commerce prestigious "Blue Chip Enterprise Award" and has been inducted into the Connecticut Business Hall of Fame.
Palladin Consumer Retail Partners is a private equity firm with extensive experience investing in and building leading retail and consumer brands. Founded in 1998, the firm prides itself on working closely with management teams to create value through strategic and operational initiatives.

Long before the existence of the internet, the prime mode of advertisement was magazines, newspapers, handouts and suchlike media. However, with the invention of the internet and the advent of Facebook, Google and other social media platforms, there is a sea change in how advertising is being done today.
Print advertising
Print media has remained a popular way of advertising products, services and businesses. With growing competition among businesses, it was not surprising to find the rates of print ads shoot up. The space in newspapers and magazines started selling by square inches and square centimeters.
Today, the cost of a typical ad ranges from $500 to $20,000, depending whether the ad is appearing in a local publication or a national daily and the territory it covers, the size of the ad and whether it is in color or black & white. Some leading national magazine charge a whopping $500,000 for inside front cover!
The onus of choosing the print media rests on brand managers of various companies. They are the ones who decide which publication would get the ad to their target audience. For example, a healthcare product is best advertised in health and lifestyle magazines and an industrial device in industry-related magazines.
However, there are sections in popular magazines too that showcase ads of all kinds of products in the belief that a small percentage of people interested in a niche product will see that ad. Whether the money spent on the ad will get corresponding results in terms of sale remains a moot point.
The print ad to be successful requires the advertiser to know the demographics of the readers, the frequency of publishing of the magazine, its distribution and its special sections and themes planned for the year.
Facebook advertising
Today, online media has become the most efficient way to advertise products and services. Let us take the example of Facebook and see the benefits of advertising on it:
- Cost
Instead of Facebook dictating the rate of the advertisement, the onus is on the advertiser to book whatever amount he or she is comfortable with and the quantum of exposure required for the ad. This means that an advertiser can spend from $5 a week to $50,000 a week.
How much an advertiser spends depends on the budget and also on the bid strategy. Facebook helps by automatically bidding for the advertiser in a way as to spend the budget evenly throughout the ad's run time.
Facebook also cuts cost by ensuring that it does not cross the advertiser's campaign spending limit and account spending limit. This makes advertising on Facebook way cheaper than print media.
- Reach
Advertising on Facebook helps in reaching the intended target group of the advertiser. In this, Facebook helps in estimating the number of people the advertiser can reach and what results he or she can expect. All this, even before actually placing the ad on Facebook.
- Feedback
Facebook has a mechanism of sending notifications about how the ad is doing. This can even be viewed by the advertiser on the Insights tab of his or her Page or Ads Manager.
It is evident that Facebook is a much more effective medium for advertising, both in terms of price and reach than print media. Facebook has an edge over print media in targeting specific buyers, thereby increasing the sale of the product or service.

Just a few days ago I decided to have a Halloween Party yesterday. Most of the food was going to be purchased or brought by friends so everything was doable. Most people dressed up which made it more fun. I was excited to make Cheese Fingers and Lychee Eyeballs which everyone enjoyed.
The usual guests were invited. Sujata, Sandi, Cindy and Amy were first to arrive. Then came my brother Gary as Jon Snow from Game of Thrones but we all thought he looked more like Peter Sellers. He was accompanied by his friend Rocky who was his photographer. A couple, Piero and Inez came as characters from Day of the Dead. Two surgeons later arrived, Dr. and Dr. Maher. Yvonne came as a colorful jester with her husband Fabrice who came as Fabrice. Otto was a bicyclist.
We had meatballs which Sandi made. Amy made some deviled eggs. I had ordered boneless lemon pepper and Louisiana rub chicken wings, fried pork dumplings and macaroni potato salad and prepared cheese & crackers, truffle mozzarella baby balls and prosciutto with persimmons. For dessert, Yvonne and Fabrice brought 2 pecan pies. In addition, we had the lychees, chewy chocolate cookies from Torrance Bakery, and I made some pretzel-Rollo bites. We had champagne with lots of pomegranate seeds throughout the party.
Before the evening ended, everyone participated in playing Charades which was fun except for Gary and Rocky who were glued to the television watching the Dodger game. They were making all kinds of noise watching the Dodgers as did we while playing our game.
It was a fun evening. I didn't get to bed till midnight which was a perfect excuse not to go to the gym.

According to a 2007 study by the National Sleep Foundation, about 84 percent of postpartum women experience a sleep problem at least a few nights a week and about 72 percent wake up feeling unrefreshed. While this isn't going to be a surprise to any mom, what may be surprising is that this sleep deprivation can hurt your sexual relationship with your partner.
A 2002 poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that while there isn't a direct relationship between sweet dreams and sex, mood is affected by the amount of sleep we get. People who feel tired, stressed, sad or angry -- all common when we don't get about seven to eight hours of sleep a night -- are unlikely to be in the mood for sex.
"Your kids really deserve the happiest, most fulfilled mom they can have. And moms all want to do the best for their children," says Kristen Chase, who is also known as the Mominatrix, publisher and COO of Cool Mom Picks. "Taking care of ourselves and our relationships are the best things we can do. You're modeling a positive relationship and what a happy mom looks like."
Sleep benefits sex and, as it turns out, sex benefits sleep. When you orgasm, your body releases oxytocin, also known as the love hormone, and oxytocin promotes sleep -- which you'll need for having more sex.
Did You Know?
More than 51 percent of people polled in a 2009 survey sponsored by Westin Hotels & Resorts and conducted by the National Sleep Foundation preferred a perfect night of sleep to great sex.

Reclaiming My Title
By Adam Wirrig
U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters is famous for having popularized the term "reclaiming my time." I think, as I survey the religious landscape on the day after a huge mid-term election that I would like to do some reclamation of my own; but it is not a time that I would like to reclaim, instead I'd like to reclaim a title.
The word "evangelical" has quickly become something of a misnomer in our current world. When utilized in dialogue in our day and age, the term generally tends to stand-in for other more accurate terms such as "fundamentalist" or "conservative." In fact, it would seem that evangelical has become so synonymous with thoughts of anti-LGBT rights, anti-choice, and anti-immigrant policies that it's downright shocking to use the term in any other context. Recently, this was made all-too-clear to me.
Not too long ago, the church I pastor had a slide on its digital sign that said, "Open, Progressive, Evangelical." To say this was befuddling to some would be an understatement. In fact, I got more than a few earfuls of feedback, both from folks inside the church and outwith as well. "You can't be progressive and be an evangelical" ranted one random community member. "We are NOT an evangelical church, dear pastor" wrote another from within the church community. The irony, I think, is that with a little examination, I think it's very clear that you can be progressive and evangelical and that my church -and a whole lot of others- are very much evangelical.
If you take a journey through dictionaries and other lexicons of our time, you'll find a number of items that are used to describe the term "evangelical." While there are some differences among sources, there seems to be a vast consensus that evangelical broadly implies: 1.) an adherence to the gospel, particularly as displayed in the four gospels of the New Testament. 2.) An emphasis on salvation by faith and personal transformation through sanctification. 3.) An emphasis upon the primacy of scripture as found in the Bible. 4.) A level of zealousness in the sharing and population of these ideals. When I explained these factors to a worried congregant, they piped-up quite quickly and said, "Oh, that really IS us!"
You see at my church, we try our darnedest to be adherents of the gospel as told in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For us, that means that we love our neighbor as ourselves, we welcome the immigrant and the marginalized, and we work towards the inclusion and welcome of those whom society has called unclean or unworthy – just as we think Jesus did. We believe fully that the faith of Christ Jesus has saved us -and all- from the evils of sin and death and that, by our faith in Christ, we learn to become the people that God has called us to be. We emphasize an engagement with Holy Scripture as found in the Bible in both our worship and in private study. We utilize all four passages of the lectionary texts each week and we think that these items -with the proper context and understanding- help us to understand the themes and purposes that Almighty God has and continues to emphasize across time. Finally, we don't just quietly hold these beliefs in ourselves and in our worship spaces. Instead, we try our best to "go and glow." We want people to know of this good news that welcomes, loves, changes, and brings wholeness to all. We say these things in our conversations; we live these things in our actions; we don't always get it right, but we sure do try.
So yeah, we're evangelicals. We're open. We're progressive. And we're just fine with that.

This race is really two blog posts: one an actual race report/ review, and another about having a big birthday weekend. This one is the race part.
I picked this race based on the date. For about a year I knew I wanted to run a marathon for my 40th birthday when I realized it fell on a weekend. There were a lot to choose from, but Route 66 in Tulsa was a short flight, looked interesting and seemed to have some personality, and it had great reviews. I also managed to get two of my best friends to join me, Steve and Stephanie, but there will be more on that in the next post.
Tulsa turned out to be a nice little city. It was incredibly pretty, and I was shocked that there were a ton of large hard wood trees with full fall colors. We drove around a lot, and while there are a lot of abandoned buildings and warehouses in parts, overall, I felt it was a nice little weekend getaway town.
The race expo was small but well done. This race gets an A ++++ for organization. There was never any questions that came up about anything; they seemed to anticipate every need a runner could have. The shirts were kinda meh, but I'm picky and Stephanie informed me the shirts were fine and I was being silly, so I gave her mine.
Race morning had plenty of parking available, and perfect weather. It was super easy to get to the start, and we did one porta potty trip and it was time to line up.
This was a minor complaint, but the corrals made no sense. They asked on the application for your most recent marathon time and your predicted finish time, and it had me in the 'B' corral which is probably correct. Stephanie was in A, and Steve was in D! Funny part is we all put more or less the same times down. We also wanted to run together, so we resolved ourselves to corral D which was the last one. Not a big deal, but I think we were estimating to finish about 2 hours ahead of most of the D corral. Stephanie snuck us into the A corral at the last minute, so all was good. The opening pace felt exactly like it should have, so she made a good call.
The first half of the course is super pretty. Lots of fall color, beautiful homes, a trip through a private school campus that looked just like Hogwarts, and some pretty parks. Then a long stretch along the river, which would have been nicer had there not been so much drought, but still nice. There were well done water stops, and I even saw GU being offered fairly regularly. We said good bye to Stephanie at mile 12, and headed onward.
Here's where it got hard. Immediately there was a really neat old Route 66 bridge we went under and then the headwind and hills started. This part of the course was true old Route 66, complete with a lot of old, abandoned warehouses. Although not as pretty as the first half of the course, it still felt very historic and still seemed interesting. At mile 17 there is an optional out and back add on to go see the Center of the Universe. Once there, you get a bonus Center of the Universe medallion. It's a neat little gimmick I've never done in another race, and was a fun way to throw in yet another hill against a headwind.
By now, I was thinking about the finish. The next big section of the course was running through the university. It would be the only part of the course I would change. It was the dullest campus ever. Lots of the same beige buildings over and over with no real character to them.
This was a hard one those last few miles. The hills and headwind really took their toll. I kinda like a challenging course, and this is not an easy one. I was happy to finish and get my medal. Route 66 prides itself on being voted the best marathon medal, and it really is. Very cool art deco design, and very well made. It's a keeper for sure. The finish line food was kinda meh. Not that I need much, but they did such a good job with the rest of the race, I expected a little more.
This is one I would do again. I doubt I will ever convince a friend to go to Tulsa with me again in my lifetime, so I will probably be solo if I ever do it again. My final time with the Center of the Universe add on, was 4:05. This was good enough for 15th in my new age group, so I think that speaks to how tough the course is. But don't let that scare you. It's fun to run on a historical landmark, enjoy the fall colors, and get the best medal you will ever get, so I would encourage anyone to give this one a try.
# 27 is in the books!

You've probably encountered people with Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD). They're prone to dramatically waving their arms, crying, shouting, screaming, or whispering dramatically while accusing their unwilling victims of thoughts and motives that they don't actually have. Melodramatic to the core, histrionic people crave attention and know how to get it. If you've witnessed a female wearing a plunging neckline, or who used other sexually provocative behaviors inappropriately and repeatedly, she might have had HPD. Perhaps it was the man who demanded to know if you want him to kill himself because you, you uncooperative creep, refused to cater to his out-of-bounds interests. Maybe it was the child who screamed and carried on in other ways when someone didn't give them what they'd requested for the "millionth" time. Highly exaggerated emotions are typical of histrionic people. They'll take their victims to embarrassing extremes or on long, miserable guilt trips if they can get away with that. Let's learn how to understand the source of the problem, and how to stop it,
Histrionic people have dramatically shifting, unpredictable emotions and unsubstantiated self-images. They're not as badly off or as deserving as they claim to be, but they'll do everything in their power, and maybe someone else's, to convince you otherwise. Their moods change rapidly, without obvious cause, challenging the boundaries of any and all relationships.
Members of the mental health world tend to believe that histrionic people learned how to behave that way from like-minded relatives or acquaintances, or that they have a genetic predisposition to be emotional show-offs. Poor parenting might be a problem, too. No matter the cause, though, the rest of us need skills for getting out of a histrionic person's path of destruction.
Psychotherapist Lena Shore MSc., comments that mental health experts "no longer label people as having histrionic personality disorder. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [ED: the bible of the mental health industry] stopped listing the stand-alone diagnosis with the DSM IV version. The updated DSM V refers to the HPD problem under the umbrella term Borderline Personality Disorder. People with BPD and HPD suffer intense, dysregulated, excessive emotions." In other words, they lack self-control. Slow, deliberate, mature thought is not their chosen mindset. They might act out their sad, mad, fearful emotional storms with trembling/rocking motions, self-isolation, throwing objects, weeping, rigid thinking, screaming, and/or a refusal to make eye contact or to verbalize their thoughts. Their goal is to instill a sense of unbearable agony in the person(s) whom they're victimizing, in order to get what they want.
Shore adds that "BPD affects between 3-5% of the population. When a person with BPD enters an emotional storm, there is literally 'no one home.' Their pre-frontal cortex, responsible for rational thought, shuts down. They enter 'emotional mind' or a deeper survival mode. People around them will find them very difficult to live with. BPD sufferers can lash out in hostility and verbal insults."
Therapeutic Help
BPD sufferers can find greater peace of mind and have happier relationships with therapy. Effective modalities of treatment include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) that teaches skills for reducing conflict, Mentalization for making sense of how other people think, and Schema Therapy which is used on people who failed to benefit from other sorts of therapy. It helps them to behave maturely rather than destructively.
Preventing Harm
To prevent histrionic people from undermining your life or anyone's, remain outwardly calm even if you must fake it. The histrionic person's goal is to make people panic instead of thinking rationally, to force the responsibility for the histrionic person's irrational behavior on the innocent observer. Only their allegations of you wanting to cause harm, of being a cold and uncaring, or of having some other negative trait will matter to histrionic accusers. Accusations are among their tools for imposing a sense of guilt in order to gain unwarranted cooperation.
Breathe deeply, look the accuser in the eye with a serene expression and silently remind yourself that you are fair, not unfair, to protect yourself from being tricked into submission. Don't debate the merits or demerits of a histrionic person's inexcusable, unreasonable arguments and claims. Logic won't convince them of anything. Remain quiet, and they will lose the target for their machinations. Sidestep the emotional blackmail by meeting your needs, not the exaggerated demands of the histrionic person. Eventually, the drama queen or king will stop trying to abuse you.
In brief, meet your needs, not theirs. If a histrionic person calms down enough to behave sensibly, though, honor the reality by interacting in a sensible manner with them. If they revert to theatrics, end the interaction. You've been signaled that they refuse to along with you. Go on with your life unimpeded by a manipulator.
